Xiang Chuanzheng was completely stunned when he heard this.

It was hard for him to imagine what would happen to a proud man like Yan Shu who was reduced to a nocturnal man.

Yan Shu became famous at the age of four, and his reputation as a child prodigy spread throughout the state. At the age of fourteen, he took part in the imperial examination and won in one fell swoop.

After entering the official career, he was highly appreciated by Zhao Heng and was promoted many times.

At only twenty-eight years old, he was already in the fourth rank of officialdom.

Far beyond many of his peers.

It seems that people like this will become generals and prime ministers in the future, but now they have become a night fragrance man.

When Xiang Minzhong saw his son standing aside in a daze, he said quietly, "Above the court, personal honor and disgrace only depend on the officials. Even if you are very talented and don't like the officials, it will be useless."

Xiang Chuanzheng slowly came to his senses and bowed to Xiang Minzhong, "My child has learned a lesson..."

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Xiang Minzhong's face, "When will you be able to understand my words deeply, and when will you be able to change the vermilion on your body to purple."

Xiang Chuanzheng bowed his hand again, hesitated for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "Father, you are determined to marry Yan'er to Kou Ji, and I have no objection. But Kou Ji, that kid, obviously doesn't want to marry Yan'er. What else can you do?

Can Yan'er force it on him?"

Xiang Minzhong curled his lips and said, "That's because he hasn't seen Yan'er well, and he doesn't know what my granddaughter is."

Xiang Chuanzheng smiled bitterly and said: "The problem now is that even if Kou Ji knows about Yan'er's kindness and wants to marry Yan'er, Yan'er may not be willing to marry him. Just now in the back hall, Yan'er, in front of my mother,

And for the sake of my wife, I made Kou Ji worthless.

From the look on her face, she seems to have a grudge against Kou Ji and has no intention of marrying Kou Ji."

Xiang Minzhong glanced at Xiang Chuanzheng and said disdainfully: "You don't understand the thoughts of my little daughter's family..."

Xiang Chuanzheng looked stunned.

Xiang Minzhong explained: "When have you ever seen Yan'er criticize other men in front of your mother?"

Xiang Chuanzheng murmured: "Really not..."

Xiangfu is a scholarly family with a rich family history.

The descendants of Xiangfu, both men and women, must be educated and literate, and must study their knowledge intensively.

As one of the best, Xiang Yan's daily performance deserves the words "knowledgeable and sensible".

Those who met her outside the house also commented on her as "everyone's lady".

Ever since she was little, she had rarely been rude, and it was only after she met Kou Ji that she frequently gave him courtesy.

He even violated his usual principles and went to his grandmother to complain.

Xiang Minzhong has such vicious eyes, how could he not see what his granddaughter is thinking.

Xiang Yan doesn't like Kou Ji now, she even hates him and holds a grudge.

But after all these years, it seems that the only man she can remember is Kou Ji.

From love to hate, or from hatred to love, is it not a matter of a single thought?

"As long as I use some tricks, I can definitely make them a couple..."

Xiang Minzhong raised the corners of his mouth, his beard trembled, and smiled.

Xiang Chuanzheng looked at Xiang Minzhong in astonishment and asked, "Dad, do you have any idea?"

Xiang Minzhong smiled and said: "That boy just said that marriage should be the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Then let's do this..."

When Xiang Chuanzheng heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched and he said, "You don't want to go to the door of Kou's house and ask for Yan'er's hand in marriage, do you?"

Xiang Minzhong rolled his eyes, "What are you thinking... Why can't my granddaughter get married? Do you still need to go to the house to propose marriage?"

When Xiang Chuanzheng heard this, he let out a sigh of relief, "It's better than going to the Kou Mansion to propose marriage. I can't afford the shame."

Xiang Minzhong glared, "Can I afford to be so embarrassed?"

Xiang Chuanzheng smiled dryly.

Xiang Minzhong snorted coldly and shouted: "Go down, find a few smart people, go out and spread the word, and say that Kou Mansion intends to marry Xiang Mansion. By the way, let your third brother come to me."

Xiang Chuanzheng was stunned and asked in confusion: "What is your purpose in letting the people below spread such rumors?"

Xiang Minzhong curled his lips and said: "I am such a good granddaughter. Just because that kid Kou Ji doesn't know the goods, it doesn't mean that the old boy Kou Zhun doesn't know the goods either."

Xiang Chuanzheng suddenly realized, "You want to use this method to lure Prime Minister Kou to come over and help Kou Ji propose marriage."

Xiang Minzhong nodded slowly.

Xiang Chuanzheng nodded and said, "I'll do it now, kid."

Xiang Chuanzheng left the side hall, found the housekeeper, and asked him to spread rumors.

He went to the back hall by himself and looked for Xiang Chuanliang.

Xiang Chuanliang is the third son of Xiang Minzhong and the only official in the Sixth Department of Xiang Mansion.

Xiang Minzhong agreed to help Kou Ji move his position, so Xiang Chuanliang was naturally required to help.

…

To the outside of the house.

Kou Ji had no idea that Xiang Minzhong was plotting against him.

He got Xiang Minzhong's promise and left Xiang Mansion happily.

Although he cannot be transferred to the Yushitai, he can still complete his plan if he is transferred to the Sixth Department.

As for the marriage mentioned by Xiang Minzhong, Kou Ji didn't take it to heart at all.

The girl from the Xiang family had a good reputation in Bianjing City, and Kou Ji had also heard about it.

It's just that when I saw her today, I didn't see the ladylike appearance that outsiders praised her at all.

She looks more like a spoiled little girl.

A arrogant big luoli.

Kou Ji has no idea about Da Luoli.

He is not a beast.

As soon as he left Xiang Mansion, Yu You appeared beside him.

When he entered Xiangfu just now, Yuyou disappeared in front of him consciously.

The two people returned to the house.

Kou Ji took a look at Kou Zhun's bedroom and saw that Kou Zhun and Wang Shu were still discussing countermeasures, so he didn't bother them. After saying a few greetings, he returned to his Sijun Garden.

…

The next day.

At noon.

A young eunuch arrived at the Kou Mansion. He put down a volume of documents and left without saying a word.

Kou Zhong took the documents and hurried to Kou Ji's Sijun Garden. Before he entered the door, he asked anxiously: "Young Master, did you offend anyone in the court?"

Kou Ji was enjoying the cool under the shade of the trees in Sijun Garden. When he heard this, he was slightly startled.

He sat up from the bed and asked doubtfully: "What happened?"

Kou Zhong handed the document in his hand to Kou Ji and said with a grimace: "Look, someone from the palace has sent a document. You have been transferred to the Sixth Department. And it is the worst Ministry of Works among the six."

"oh?"

Kou Ji looked surprised. He took the document from Kou Zhong's hand and read it carefully.

What was unexpected to him was different from what Kou Zhong was worried about.

What surprised him was that Xiang Minzhong was so efficient at work.

He just came to ask for help yesterday and got the job done today.

"Under the Ministry of Industry, Sishui Langzhong... has the official title of sixth grade..."

Kou Ji raised the document in his hand and smiled at Kou Zhong: "Is this considered a promotion?"

Hearing this, Kou Zhong said anxiously: "What kind of promotion is this? The Sixth Department is now the Qingshui Yamen and has no real power. This Sishui doctor seems to be one level higher than your previous promotion from the sixth rank to the prison judge, but it is not as good as

What about the prison judge?

This is a salary official..."

In the Song Dynasty, official positions were divided into official posts and official posts.

Officials have a real name, have things to manage, and have power in their hands.

Officials who send salary only receive salary, do nothing, and have no real power.

A high-ranking official of the sixth rank does not have as much power as a high-ranking county magistrate of the seventh rank.

Kou Zhong didn't know what Kou Ji was thinking and planning.
