After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

Chapter 394 Cabinet

After the Spring Festival, several people returned to their respective homes.

After returning home, they were not idle either. Relatives would come to visit them from time to time. As they expected, these relatives were very good at judging people and treated them very well. They either gave them gifts or flattered them. Their ears were callused from hearing such words.

Winter passed, and on the day of the beginning of spring, several people gathered together for dinner, and Xu Zheng couldn't help complaining about this matter.

Dealing with those people was relatively easy for the other three, but it was torture for Xu Zheng. She didn't understand those riddles at first, and then she called Mo Ning to suffer with her, but she didn't understand either.

Pei Xuanxi followed her and surprised the relatives.

After hearing Xu Zheng's complaints, Meng Yin smiled and said, "A Zheng, you don't have to take their words too seriously. They are either trying to flatter or asking for favors. There's nothing unusual about that."

Xia Nian nodded: "Usually I just send them off with a few words, and they can't do anything about it."

When Xu Zheng heard this, she felt relieved. She was just worried that it would cause trouble for Pei Xuanxi.

Tao Tao noticed a detail and asked, "By the way, did you notice that when they came to visit us, they didn't ask us to go to Yiqing and the others to whisper in their ears, but tried to please us openly or secretly, or asked us for help."

Xia Nian said: "Yeah, I noticed that too."

But she didn't take it to heart. The four of them were now in a position similar to that of the queen, so it would be fine if those people just begged them directly.

"Maybe it's because they feel that husband and wife are one, so it doesn't matter who you ask for help. And if we go to them directly, it will definitely be difficult to talk to them. Maybe it will be easier for us to talk to them." Xia Nian said.

The three nodded thoughtfully. Xiahou Yu laughed and said, "I'm afraid it's not just because of this."

"Hmm?" Xia Nian turned around, "What else?"

Xiahou Yu pretended to be mysterious and said, "We'll know in two days."

The four people were confused, and when they saw that they all kept silent, they didn't understand what they were keeping secret.

Two days later, they were woken up early in the morning. When asked, they refused to tell the reason. They just asked the maid to change their clothes and makeup into something more dignified and elegant than usual before going out with them.

Unexpectedly, the four met in the cabinet.

The cabinet is located in the center of Jincheng. It looks like a huge palace from the outside, and meetings are held in the innermost part.

Inside is a square conference room with the most seats on the left and right, where people with official ranks below the third rank sit. At the bottom, there are eight seats in the front, which are the top four positions in the cabinet. Opposite the front, there are ten seats, which are for civil and military officials above the third rank.

It was not until they sat down, looked down at the people below, and listened to them talk about those proposals that they reacted.

After the proposal was made, the situation in each county town was reported. The person in charge of recording took note of it and the meeting was adjourned.

Eight people will leave first, and the rest will have to stay in the cabinet for the next two days.

After going out, several people went to the restaurant to eat. Xia Nian pinched Xia Houyu's waist and asked, "Why didn't you tell us in advance that we would also come to the meeting?"

Xiahou Yu smiled and said, "You want to see Ah Nian's surprised expression?"

Xia Nian was indeed surprised, especially when she was sitting on the stage looking at the people below, she had a feeling of being superior. She was surprised that they could also enter the cabinet.

She thought that this place was just like the feudal society, where female officials were not allowed, but there were female officials among the people below.

Pei Xuance explained: "You don't know yet, the top four are the heads of the four major families, and after they marry, the power they have is shared by the couple."

Yiqing said: "That's right, so we will go to the cabinet together in the future."

"No wonder, after Xiahou Yu's parents passed away, Xiahou Jing took over this position. With such great power, she would never want to let go." Xia Nian said.

No wonder those people are so afraid of them getting married.

Xiahou Yu nodded: "That's right."

"This is why those people directly ask us to do things for them." Meng Yin said.

"The cabinet management is very strict. They dare not bribe openly and can only hint at it." Gu Ling said.

Now they understood, but Tao Tao still had a question: "Then why didn't I see you guys going to meetings when I was with you guys before?"

Yiqing said, "They only hold meetings in the spring. The rest of the time, they send letters to the cabinet, which sorts them out and then gives them to us."

Tao Tao nodded. No wonder she always saw Yiqing reading letters in the study. Sometimes she would get angry and say what a fool they were.

Tao Tao couldn't help but chuckle. Yi Qing beside her tugged at her clothes and looked at her hopefully.

"Oh, by the way, Aqing and I are getting married in a few days." Tao Tao said cheerfully.

"Great, now we're complete. Back then, none of us wanted to get married, and we all said we weren't destined to be together. But it turns out that destiny does exist in this world. It's awesome." Xu Zheng said exaggeratedly, and several people laughed out loud.

Tao Tao smiled and said, "We will hold the meeting in Jincheng, and live a good life here in the future."

Meng Yin raised her glass: "Then let's have a toast!"

-

Knowing that they had power in their hands, the four of them were not idle. Meng Yin and Xia Nian relied on their previous knowledge and combined it with the social environment of Anhong Continent to list a number of proposals.

The next day, they thought that these proposals would cause an uproar. After all, no matter how good they were, they would always involve the interests of some people. However, things were simpler than they thought. As soon as the proposal was put forward, Xiahou Yu and the other four clearly expressed their support, and the people below did not dare to ask more questions.

The four above are of the same clan. Whoever expresses objection at this time is going against them. How can he have a good ending?

After the three-day meeting, several people met Zhong Ziyi outside and hurriedly went up to ask about the search for geese.

Zhong Ziyi said: "She is very good. She knew I was here and asked me to come and greet you."

"Haha, of course we are fine." Meng Yin laughed, "Then how are you two...going?"

Zhong Ziyi blushed a little, but still smiled: "Xun Yan accepted me. She is diligent and studious, and she is also very talented. Now she is very familiar with the affairs of the villa."

Tao Tao deliberately said: "Don't make others tired."

Zhong Ziyi said hurriedly: "No, I usually deal with it with her."

The four of them couldn't help laughing. Yi Qing, who was standing beside them, looked at him in wonder: "Usually you run away faster than anyone else after a meeting, so why are you here to talk to us today? Aren't you afraid of people gossiping about you?"

Zhong Ziyi said seriously: "Of course I'm not afraid, let them talk nonsense."

Xiahou Yu sighed: "You kid, you finally figured it out."

Yiqing smiled and handed him the invitation, "A Tao and I are getting married, remember to come."

Zhong Ziyi put it away and said with a smile, "Definitely."

After he left, several people went back towards the sunset. The spring breeze swept across their faces like silk, and they felt particularly relaxed.

Xia Nian suddenly said, "The four of us are going to live together temporarily for the next few days."

Since they live here and have money and power, they naturally cannot just play around, they still have to make contributions for this continent.

Without waiting for the other three to speak, Yi Qing took the lead and said, "Then come to my house."

The three of them did not refuse, as Tao Tao was getting married and they could help her prepare.

As a result, the next day, the three grown men insisted on getting together, under the pretext of discussing cabinet matters.
