Xie Jun is the minister of Honglu Temple of the fourth rank, and the doctor of household department is also of the fourth rank. In this case, it can only be regarded as a level promotion, not a promotion.
However, the fourth-grade Hubu doctor and the fourth-grade Honglu temple minister are not the same.
At Honglu Temple, there is no work to do, and there is not much money.
The Hubu is in charge of taxation, money and food in Daqi, and is second only to the Officials among the six ministries. The fourth-grade Hubu doctor is indeed not very high in official position, but he is in short supply of serious jobs and high salary.
Xie Jun had thought about it in the past. However, King Huainan was a prince and was in charge of the clan's mansion, so he couldn't reach out to the six departments. Furthermore, the positions in the six departments were watched by many people, and if there was a vacancy, they would be grabbed immediately.
Gone.
Xie Jun could only continue to lament that his ambition was hard to achieve.
Unexpectedly, when Ding You, the doctor in the household department, became vacant this time, the official department actually issued a transfer order and appointed him as the doctor in the household department.
When he received the transfer order today, he was pleasantly surprised. He was almost floating in the clouds amidst the congratulations of his colleagues. Xie Jun thought about it for a while, guessed a few things, and returned to Xie's Mansion happily to tell the good news.
Tell Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi reacted very quickly and immediately asked: "Father just received the transfer order today? Did you hear anything about it before?"
Xie Jun shook his head: "There was no news at all before."
Logically speaking, there will always be some rumors before a transfer. However, this transfer came very suddenly. It felt like a pie in the sky suddenly fell into the sky.
"It should be the Seventh Prince who secretly contributed." Although Xie Jun was guessing, his tone was quite certain: "It turned out that the doctor from the Ministry of Households wanted to guard Ding You, and he submitted a memorial, but the emperor has not yet approved it. Many people are watching this vacancy.
There are also people who secretly go to the official department to carry out activities."
"Unexpectedly, the emperor only approved the memorial in the morning, and in the afternoon the official department sent an order to Honglu Temple."
The speed is astonishing.
There is only one explanation. Before the emperor approved the memorial, he had already decided to appoint Xie Jun as the doctor of the household department. Besides the seventh prince, who else could go up to Heaven to listen and be willing to help him?
The seventh prince supports him in this way, naturally because of Xie Mingxi.
Xie Jun's face was filled with joy, and he looked at Xie Mingxi as if he were looking at a rare treasure.
Even ten sons cannot buy such a good daughter!
Looking at Xie Jun, whose face was full of joy and energy, Xie Mingxi also smiled slightly: "It is also right to do something for my father-in-law."
You don't need to ask to know that Sheng Hong must have contributed to this matter.
Xie Mingxi was not unhappy about this.
Of course she doesn't have much father-daughter affection for Xie Jun. However, there is no one in the Xie family that she hates. In this life, Xie Jun barely behaves like a "loving father". Give him some
The sweetness is also deserved.
It's just that Sheng Hong didn't even say anything about it before, which made her a little unhappy.
However, in front of Xie Jun, Xie Mingxi did not show any of her unhappiness, and smiled as usual: "My father will go to the Ministry of Household Affairs in two days, and my wedding ceremony is coming soon. Speaking of which, it is a double happiness."
Xie Jun said with a smile: "Exactly. I have been in Honglu Temple for many years, and now that I have been transferred to the household department, I rarely have to entertain my colleagues. I thought, I would just hold a banquet on the day you and your hairpin ceremony are held, and invite more people by the way.
With some female guests coming to watch the ceremony, your hair-raising ceremony will also be more lively."
Xie Mingxi said with a smile: "Everything depends on my father's arrangements."
…
Two days later, Xie Jun went to work in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Xie Jun's ability as an official was mediocre, but he was quite good at socializing and was well versed in the golden mean of being an official. He had just arrived, and he slowly took over the things left by his predecessor, the doctor of household affairs, and was not in a hurry to burn the "three fires."
Two days later, it was Xie Mingxi's hairpin ceremony.
Nowadays, there is no serious mistress in the Xie Mansion. The Xu family is from a humble background and lacks some confidence to interact with noble female relatives. Therefore, Young Master Xie Jun has to worry a lot. He specially invited his colleagues to come.
During the banquet, colleagues must bring their wives. In this way, the wedding ceremony can be more lively.
...Facts have proved that Xie Jun really had to think too much!
On this day, more than three times more female relatives came to watch the ceremony than expected.
All the students in Lianchi Academy came. Naturally, the mothers of these girls also came together. All of Xie Mingxi’s classmates also came.
Lin Weiwei and his wife came together, and Fang Ruomeng and his wife came together. Xiao Yuhan and Li Xiangru, who are the prince's concubines, also came together.
The female relatives of famous families in the capital, such as the Yu family and the Gu family, came to watch the ceremony and congratulate her.
Empress Yu in the palace ordered the female official Zhilan to send a generous hairpin gift.
On this day, the Xie Mansion was almost overrun by people who came to watch the ceremony.
"Your Majesty," the maid next to Xu said in a hurry: "The old lady didn't expect so many guests to come to watch the ceremony today. I'm afraid the banquet prepared before was not enough."
Mrs. Xu, who had never seen any big events, was almost confused by the endless stream of female guests attending the ceremony!
Even Xie Jun did not expect such a grand event!
It was only at this moment that Xie Jun clearly and deeply realized how loud Xie Mingxi's reputation was! Most of the guests who had not received the message came to watch the ceremony and congratulate him!
His specially invited colleagues and their families were completely unnecessary!
"Go tell the old lady and immediately send someone to the nearest restaurant to directly order all the banquets for today." Xie Jun made a decision immediately: "Let the restaurant prepare the banquets until noon and send them directly to Xie's house."
…
The turmoil and chaos in the Xie family did not affect Xie Mingxi.
On the contrary, she is the calmest and most laid-back person today.
During the hairpin ceremony, you need to change the dress three times, comb your hair three times, and add hairpins three times. She has seen all the procedures several times and already knows it by heart.
What's more, she also has her closest and most beloved master by her side who always gives her advice. She feels extremely at ease and is not confused at all.
Several classmates and friends were also by her side, chatting and laughing in low voices.
"Thank you sister, you got your haircut today. After today, it's time to set a wedding date." Lin Weiwei winked and teased.
The wedding date of Yin Xiaoxiao and the fifth prince has been set, in mid-September.
After that, it was Xie Mingxi and Sheng Hong's turn.
Fang Ruomeng took the conversation and laughed in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, has been waiting for so long, and finally you have grown up." A girl has grown up only when she has haircut.
Everyone wanted to see Xie Mingxi blushing and being shy, but they were obviously going to be disappointed.
Xie Mingxi looked calm and smiled leisurely: "When I get married, you may have good news, but you may not be able to come to Xie's house to congratulate me in person."
Those who were already married immediately blushed at the joke.
Only Li Xiangru's smile revealed a trace of indescribable sadness and bitterness.
She really wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible. But after one year of marriage, the fourth prince had sex with her only a few times... How could she give birth to a child by herself?
Xie Mingxi glanced at Li Xiangru intentionally or unintentionally. (To be continued)
