Tianbo Mansion is located in the northwest corner of Bianjing City.
Although it is large in size, the decoration is simple.
Most of a garden has been converted into a school ground.
At this time, Sister Yang was dancing sword in the school field.
It's just that she's a little confused, and her sword skills are messy.
The third and fifth mothers of the Yang family shook their heads and said with a smile: "If you can't meditate, then don't practice."
Sister Yang handed the sword to the female guard and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Sanniang smiled and said: "The old lady asked us to ask you what you think."
Sister Yang said angrily: "Does my opinion matter? It's not my mother who has the final say."
Wu Niang hesitated for a moment, nodded seriously and said:
"Cao Bin is lazy, not proficient in martial arts, and he is also very sensual. He is much worse than Zong Bao. He is indeed not worthy of you."
"If you really don't want to, I'll go to the old lady and beg her to refuse Kou Xiang."
Sister Yang was stunned for a moment, her eyes wandered, and she said tangledly:
"For the sake of the imperial court, I...I will sacrifice myself."
Sanniang laughed so hard that she leaned on Wu Niang's shoulder and said:
"Why is she unwilling? She just can't let go."
"Although Cao Bin is not as good as Zong Bao, his character and talents are also good."
"At least he can please women better than Zong Bao..."
At this time, Mu Guiying happened to walk in and said doubtfully:
"What's wrong with Zong Bao? He just arrived at Waqiao Pass not long ago, so he won't reply so quickly."
Sanniang shook her head and said: "We didn't talk about Zong Bao, we were talking about Cao Bin...how is it, is it done?"
Mu Guiying said: "No, Cao Bin needs to think about it."
Sister Yang raised her eyebrows and felt that her face was greatly damaged. She said angrily: "He is still considering...I don't agree!"
When Sanniang heard this, she couldn't help but start teasing again.
In the blink of an eye, four or five days passed.
Du Shiniang and others still stayed in Xiangyang and did not return to Beijing. The Zhongjing Marquis Mansion was a little deserted.
The imperial court also operated in an orderly manner according to the plans of several big bosses.
On this day, the imperial court finally approved Taishi Pang's request to become an official.
For the Pang family, Bianjing has become a place of right and wrong.
If Taishi Pang continues to stay in Tokyo, it is inevitable that someone will try to take advantage of his qualifications and reputation to cause trouble.
Therefore, on the day of the court's approval, the Pang family was already preparing to return to their hometown.
Looking at the Pang family's motorcade going away, Cao Bin felt a little melancholy.
He secretly thought that maybe he should bribe some etiquette masters to come up with the etiquette of "concurrently carrying the ancestral art". I think the Yang family would also be very grateful to him...
He himself has no special love for Pang Yanyan and Sister Yang.
Even if you like it, it's mostly just good.
There is no such thing as deep love that no one will marry.
The purpose of changing the marriage partner this time was just to allow the Pang family to escape.
At this moment, Uncle Fu hurried over and said excitedly:
"Young Master, please go back to the mansion quickly. Prime Minister Kou came to the mansion in person to announce the decree, and has already prepared the betrothal gift for you."
"Just waiting for you to get promoted and get engaged..."
Although Uncle Fu felt a little sorry for the downfall of Master Pang, he hoped that the Cao family would prosper.
Knowing that his ancestral title was about to be restored, he wrote an invitation to the Cao family all night long, planning to celebrate grandly.
So the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion was very lively today.
There are officials from the Pang family, Qingliu from the Kou Zhun family, and old friends of the Cao family.
When Cao Bin returned home, the incense case and other items were fully prepared, and Kou Zhun was also waiting.
"Cao Bin accepts the order!"
The imperial edict was very simple. First, Cao Bin's character and merits were recognized, and then he was promoted to a higher rank.
Needless to say about the title, the deputy commander of the front department is a fourth-grade dispatcher, who mainly manages the troops and horses of the front department.
The most important job in the imperial court is dispatching.
The actual effects of sending official positions and titles are slightly less important, and other functions such as official positions, honorary titles, and official posts are even less important.
For example, Kou Zhun's official assignment was "Tong Zhongshu Menxia Ping Zhang Shi", which was only the second grade.
Although his position as prime minister is a genuine one, it is just a false position and the title is just nice.
Seeing Cao Bin accept the imperial edict, the officials below couldn't help but have complicated expressions.
Some were envious and jealous, while others were indignant and could not help but mutter:
"Master Pang has just taken up his official position and was immediately promoted by the Kou Prime Minister. Cao Bin is really lucky."
Someone sneered:
"You still don't understand. In fact, Kou Xiang has personally entrusted the Queen Mother to act as a matchmaker to arrange marriage for the Cao and Yang families."
"Cao Bin has completely surrendered to the sect of Prime Minister Kou. He will still have the opportunity to rise to great heights in the future..."
The old members of Taishi Pang's family are also talking about it. Now that Taishi Pang has fallen into disarray, everyone is in danger of being squeezed out.
It's okay to say that he is clean himself. Even if he doesn't take refuge in others, he can barely survive.
For those who are afraid of stains on their bodies, they must find an organization as soon as possible, otherwise they will be easily cleaned up.
But no one expected that the fastest mover would be Cao Bin, the son-in-law of the Pang family.
Seamless connection, fast transition, extremely smooth, is this too unruly?
Not only that, but the most annoying thing is that he actually received such attention.
Not only was he not implicated by Master Pang, but he also went to the next level... This makes people jealous!
At this time, Kou Zhun laughed cordially:
"Juncai, I have prepared a betrothal gift for you, now go and propose marriage!"
Cao Bin was a little puzzled. This old guy was more anxious than him. He wasn't going into the bridal chamber, so what?
But now that the matter was over, he had no reason to refuse. Just as he was about to nod, Shi Qian suddenly squeezed into the crowd.
He hurriedly walked to Cao Bin and whispered:
"Uncle, what's wrong, we found out that the imperial court sent several generals to intercept and kill the Grand Master!"
"Fuck..."
Cao Bin looked at Kou Zhun in disbelief and asked, "Prime Minister Kou, what do you mean? You don't keep your word?"
Kou Zhun glanced at Shi Qian coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent, and then said:
"Pangji's treason is unforgivable. Even if the truth is to be tolerated, it will not help."
"This is not my decision, but the national law. Zhongshu Sheng has signed the imperial edict."
"Stop Pang Ji and kill him on the spot regardless of the reason!"
Seeing this scene, the entire Hou Mansion became cold and solemn, no one dared to speak, and they all stared at Cao Bin.
Seeing that Cao Bin was a little dazed, Kou Zhun thought that he couldn't accept it for a while, so he gently advised:
"Cao Bin, you have extraordinary qualifications and a bright future. I will try my best to teach you in the future."
"The situation has come to this, and you can't change it. Just pretend it never happened."
Seeing Kou Zhun promising again, the officials finally couldn't help but start talking.
"What's going on? Didn't the imperial court allow Master Pang to retire at old age? Could it be that the bandits regretted it?"
Someone thought thoughtfully:
"This may be the plan of the Kou Prime Minister. Now that Cao Bin has thrown himself into the Kou Prime Minister's sect, for example, he can't advance or retreat even if he walks between rocks."
"Not to mention whether he is willing to give up those benefits, even if he breaks away from the Kou Prime Minister, no one will help him. Will he still be a lonely minister?"
The man before clicked his tongue and said:
"I also want to be unable to advance or retreat. Prime Minister Kou values this so much, and the future will be bright and beautiful. Is there any need to be embarrassed?"
"What's more, he has already saved Pang Ji once, so he has done his best."
The man nodded and said, "I think so too, unless he is stupid..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Cao Bin yelling and scolding:
"Kou Laoxi, your uncle Wori..."
