Chapter 191： Leveling

Chapter 191 Leveling things up

A daughter in the Su family has grown up. Su Yanli smiled gently and said, "Let's see if my little Mianzhu guessed it right."

Su Ruojin smiled knowingly and pointed to the little girl who was tired of being beside her mother. It was dark and the child was sleeping. Su Ruojin was arching in her mother's arms, trying to sleep. Cheng Yingzhen was coaxing her and took off the newly bought beads on her daughter's head. flower.

“Did you see it? Dad, I went out to buy new pearl flowers today.”

Su Yanli's smile remained unchanged and she listened patiently to her daughter. What she wanted to say was definitely not the pearl flowers that her younger daughters liked.

“While buying this pair of pearl flowers, I met Luo Fangfei, the legitimate daughter of the Wuhou family…”

Sure enough, Su Yanli's eyes suddenly tightened.

Noticing the change in her father's expression, Su Ruojin sighed, "If she were an ordinary young lady, she would be angry and sad when the other party deliberately provokes her, and she might even buy expensive jewelry..."

"But my Ah Jin didn't. He also saw the struggle of the sons of the Tian family from the arrogant and domineering attitude of the young lady of the Wuhou family, right?"

Su Ruojin nodded, "A young lady from a relative's family is surrounded by four or five sycophants. You can imagine how popular King Qi is right now."

The King of Wei has real power, and his power is at the top. No one can shake it yet. King Yan actually has no intention of fighting, but since he is the prince, he can no longer fight if he wants to. King Qi takes advantage of the contradiction between the two, While following the clan path, he also attracted officials between the seventh and fifth ranks. During this period, there were many followers, and for a while, he was almost as popular as the King of Wei.

Su Yanli sighed. He still wanted to be a tutor in the Imperial College. He was not suitable for the intrigues in Taichang Temple at all. He was really tired and frowned.

“Today, Mr. Shaoqing came to see me and wanted to transfer me to Taiyue Department to become Taiyueling, in charge of rituals, music, teachings and other matters.”

Su Ruojin was shocked. He thought his father was being ostracized in the yamen, but he didn't expect that the transfer department was his least favorite Jiao Si Fang. You must know that Cheng Baotai was once Le Zheng of Jiao Si Fang, and three years ago, the eldest son of the Cheng family The daughter personally ran for her brother, but was rejected righteously by Su Yanli and his daughter. Now they actually let him directly become Tai Leling, no matter how they wanted to violate the agreement.

“Did Dad agree?”

"Of course I don't want to agree." Su Yanli was worried, "But judging from Master Shaoqing's tone, I must be transferred to the Taiyue Department."

Su Ruojin frowned, no wonder his father was worried. This kind of errand encountered state affairs, and that was the dignity of the Yin Dynasty. There was no room for sloppiness. If there was any mistake, he would go to jail. But in private, These vocals are meant to serve the powerful, and they have to play both sides. If you are not careful, you will offend the powerful and become a prisoner.

In short, if you don't have the ability to dance well, you won't be able to do this job at all.

“Why don’t dad go find Mr. Fan and ask him to come forward...”

Mr. Fan has remained the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for the past three years. He has not moved at all. Several princes are fighting fiercely. He keeps a low profile and avoids everything he can. Taichang Temple does not involve the promotion of official positions. As Taichang Temple Officers can be transferred without going through the Ministry of Personnel. "

Su Yanli shook his head, "They are conducting leveling measures to avoid the officials and not let Mr. Fan interfere."

What can we do?

For some reason, the father and daughter thought of Zhao Lan at the same time.

It was understandable that Su Yanli wanted the students to help. After teaching for several years, the teacher-student relationship was full of affection. However, Su Ruojin, a young lady who usually avoided other people's little princes, thought of them only when using them. It was too disrespectful. Authentic.

Su Ruojin was really embarrassed to talk about it in front of her father. Even if this man was her biological father, she would be embarrassed.

“Otherwise, Dad, you can’t take over because you don’t understand the affairs of Taile Department.”

Talking to his daughter, Su Yanli is no longer so worried. In any case, Mr. Shaoqing has not decided to die now, and there is room for change. He is indeed not suitable for the position of Taile Department. If Mr. Shaoqing insists on him taking office what to do?

Back in the room, Su Ruojin has been worried about his father, knowing that his father will definitely have no sleep tonight.

Ever since he was transferred to Taichang Temple, even though he was promoted and was still responsible for culture and education, the Su family was not too happy. They always felt that the promotion was unreliable. Therefore, in the past three years, Su Yanli was nervous, diligent, cautious, and did not stand out. Don't take things lightly, and do your best to do your job well.

But worries still arise.

Let a person who is not good at dealing with people take up a long-term job, which is itself a embarrassment.

Why are you trying to embarrass Su Yanli? In fact, Su Ruojin was very happy because King Qi thought her father didn't vote for the title, didn't stand in line, and gave him small shoes.

Sitting at the desk, facing the oil lamp, Su Ruojin took out the letter she wrote to Zhao Lan before eating. Do you want to rewrite it?

She looked at the dancing oil lamp and was stunned for a long time.

Chunxiao and Qiuyue looked at each other, one silently polished the ink, and the other stepped forward to cut the wick.

The oil lamp suddenly became much brighter. Su Ruojin woke up and said, "Sister Qiuyue, stop grinding."

“Don’t you want to add some content?”

“It’s all written, there’s nothing to add.”

Chunxiao and Qiuyue looked at each other in surprise. Master Su's words were not avoided in the Nuan Pavilion. They heard it when they went in to serve the second lady.

“Second Lady, don’t you want the little prince’s help?”

"Did you ask him for help?" Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Bring hay back for me."

“Then Sir…”

Su Ruojin was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt relieved, "My father is just a small official in Beijing. They know how much he has. If I write it, it may be the result they want."

Qiuyue pursed her lips, "But if you don't write it, what will you do if you are transferred to the Taiyue Department?"

To be honest, Su Ruojin didn’t know either, but she thought of the worst outcome.

Taking a deep breath, "It's getting late, let's go to sleep."

The youngest daughter had already been lying on the bed and fast asleep. Su Yanli hugged his wife with a gentle expression, "I have had some troubles with my errands recently. Don't worry, it will be over soon."

Cheng Yingzhen put her arms around her husband's neck, "If things don't go well, we will resign and go to the countryside."

In the past three years, the Su family has been to Su Yanli's farm. Cheng Yingzhen likes the countryside scenery and the unfettered pastoral life very much.

Su Yanli laughed and said, "If you lose your official position, your position will be returned to the court."

“What should we do?”

“Let’s find a place with beautiful scenery and buy it.”

“The husband is still smart.”

Su Yanli: ...If he were smart, he wouldn't have the troubles he has today.

In the darkness of the night, Qiuyue found Mangzhong again and asked something in a low voice. Mangzhong nodded. When she saw him nodding, Qiuyue turned around and entered the yard.

Mang Zhong looked around, returned to his den, and opened the back window, as if something had been let out.

No matter what day it is tomorrow, you need to eat and sleep. When you wake up, it’s a new day.

Su Yanli went on duty and led the horse out.

Cheng Yingzhen took her daughter to the door. When she saw him getting on the horse, she shouted worriedly: "Official—"

Su Yanli waved his hand, "I'll take care of it, don't worry!"

Su Ruojin trotted to catch up with her father on duty. Su Yanli saw sweat on her forehead as she ran, and smiled, "It's okay, don't block the door like anything."

He smiled handsomely, and it was obvious that he was worthy.

Looking at his back, I felt a sense of desolation.

Bah! Su Ruojin shook off her uneasy thoughts first, and the bridge went straight to the bow of the ship.

Xue Wulang came over to go to school with Su Anzhi. Su Anzhi finished his homework in the study room and had breakfast. When he came out, he found that his mother and two younger sisters were there. He felt strange, "Are you going out?"

While Su Yanli was sighing and worrying in the Nuan Pavilion, he was studying in the study and didn't know that his father was being used as a chess piece.

Su Ruojin didn't want to affect his study, so he smiled and said, "Yes."

Su Anzhi felt that his sister's reply was not quite right, but when the time came, he went to the Imperial College with Xue Wulang without thinking about it.

Xue Wulang smiled at the Su family, "Aunt, Ah Jin, let's go first." Su Ruojin waved his hand, "Study hard, but don't be too tired, combine work and rest!"

“Xie Ajin, I will.” Xue Wulang smiled.

Su Anzhi looked at Fa Xiao with a smile on his face. The two got on the mule cart to go to school. Seeing that he was still looking towards the door, he sighed secretly and asked casually, "Ah Chuan, your third sister also has a matchmaker coming to the door. Bar."

Xue Wulang Xue Lingchuan nodded, "Yeah."

“Someone also came to my house to talk about matchmaking.”

Xue Wulang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there someone who can help you find a matchmaker?"

"not me."

Xue Wulang was stunned for a moment, "Is it Ah Jin?"

Su Anzhi nodded, "Wen Siye's son Wen Dalang."

Xue Wulang's face darkened visibly.

Su Anzhi secretly sighed again. Wu Lang is a good person, and Master Xue is also very close to her family, but Mrs. Maybe marrying Achuan, he...may be wishful thinking.

We are all young now, I hope I can enlighten him today.

“That Ah Jin…she…”

“I don’t necessarily agree.”

Xue Wulang's brows were visibly filled with joy, "Let me just say that although Wen Dalang is talented and learned, he is quite conceited and is not suitable for Ah Jin."

"Maybe." Su Anzhi said, "No matter what kind of husband Ah Jin chooses in the end, as long as she is happy, that's fine, you say, right, Ah Chuan."

"That...of course." Xue Wulang felt guilty and did not dare to look at Su Anzhi.

There is a saying that goes like this, "I lurk around my best friends (buddies) just to get into the same household registration book."

It wasn't until her son walked away that Cheng Yingzhen showed a worried look, "Ajin, your father..."

She smiled lightly and said, "Mom, don't worry, my dad is lucky. Maybe things will turn around today."

Cheng Yingzhen, a housewife, was coaxed by her daughter. As expected, she became less worried and turned around to enter the hospital.

Su Ruojin's mind was unsettled. She didn't go to the store to check the accounts today. In order to prevent herself from thinking wildly, she asked Mang Zhong to hitch a carriage and go to Suji.

When I went to Su Kee, it was just after the breakfast rush hour. There were still some people in the store, but it was not too crowded, which was just right.

She glanced and was about to go to the office room when her eyes met a young man. He smiled and motioned to come over and eat together.

Su Ruojin walked to his table and said with a smile, "What a rare visitor."

Su Yanzu motioned for her to sit down.

She sat down and ate at home, but she still took a fried dough stick in her hand and chewed it slowly while looking at her uncle, whom she rarely saw.

Su Yanzu still looks like a handsome scholar and young master. It is different from before. He seems to be more elegant, unrestrained and unrestrained.

A year ago, Su Dalang went back to Pingjiang Prefecture to take the scholar examination, and his uncle also went back to take the exam. This time he finally passed the exam.

“Will you be admitted to the Jinshi examination in two years?”

Su Yanzu didn’t expect that his niece would ask about this matter after not seeing each other for so long.

Brows raised in disbelief.

Su Ruojin sneered, "But my memory of dealing with you stops at this matter."

The little niece is indeed extraordinary.

Su Yanzu smiled, ate and drank enough, wiped his mouth, wiped his hands, and then said, "You have been taking the examination for more than ten years. Do you think that everyone is like your father, living like a god?"

"That's true." Su Ruojin accepted her uncle's compliment without humility.

Su Yanzu pointed at his little niece and laughed, "You..."

Su Ruojin shrugged.

Su Yanzu shook his head. His niece was smart, smart, and good-looking. Who knows which brat would get her in the future.

“Enough chatting.” His expression suddenly became much more serious, “I heard that your father is in trouble?”

Su Ruojin: “Where did you know that?”

“Princess Yuehua.”

Even the princess knows about this?

"Uncle, you and Princess Yuehua..." You don't want to tread two boats at the same time!

Scum…

“Ah Jin, for his illness, the princess can get the royal medicine from the palace, so…”

In just a short period of time, Su Yanzu changed from a romantic and suave young man to an affectionate man.

Su Ruojin hissed, feeling cold between his teeth: "But you can't commit yourself to the princess and become a face-shou!"

“What are you talking about?” Su Yanzu glared at his niece angrily.

“Ah, it’s not you who said…”

“I am now the princess’s chief minister, taking care of her general affairs.”

Su Yanzu was surprised when he heard this, "What kind of uncle do you think?"

“He is affectionate and dedicated, what a good man.”

Su Yanzu almost threw his head back and laughed, but held it back. When he came here just now, he was in a bad mood because of Shangguanyu's old illness. Every time he got sick, there was always a feeling that if he turned around, they would be separated from each other.

It always made him breathless, but every time he saw his niece, it always made him feel brighter.

“I can feel that, Ah Jin, you don’t look down on me.”

“Why look down on it?”

If there was wine in front of him, Su Yanzu would drink it in one gulp. He said in a low voice, "The world does not tolerate me. Everyone sees me as a monster. Only you see me as a normal person."

That’s because after a thousand years, people have become tolerant of others, and everyone has the right to pursue happiness, as long as it does not affect others.

"By the way, you just said that Princess Yuehua knew about it, what happened?" Su Ruojin didn't care what happened to him, she only cared about his father.

Su Yanzu said, "The princess asked me to tell you, don't worry, your father's matter has been settled with someone. He is still a doctor of Taichang Temple. If he doesn't want to stay at Taichang Temple, he can be transferred."

Su Ruojin’s eyes widened, “Is Princess Yuehua so good?”

The little niece looked cute and shocked. He smiled and asked, "Then why do you think she is so good?"
