Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

After repeated questioning and understanding why Xu Xiuxin wanted money, Shu Jiao fell silent.

They really are a couple.

Look at this tacit understanding!

There was a fire in her backyard yesterday, and there was also a fire in Xu Xiuxin's outer yard.

Hey ~

We are kindred spirits!

Shu Jiao looked at Xu Xiuxin with understanding, "Since my husband has spoken, I can't let my sisters upset you. I'll ask the accountant to pay you next month's money first."

"Madam, you are so kind."

Xu Xiuxin was relieved at once, "It's all thanks to my wife's kindness and generosity."

If it were the lady of another family, and the head of the family said that she had to give money to mend the basket because of jealousy from the concubine, there would definitely be a quarrel at home.

Fortunately~

Fortunately, he was a hero and saved his wife, which allowed him to enjoy a happy and peaceful life for the rest of his life.

He is so lucky!

Shu Jiao's lips curled slightly, "It's rare for my husband to come back, why not have a meal at home, so that our family can get together."

"Row."

His wish was fulfilled, so Xu Xiuxin naturally listened to Shu Jiao.

He also asked Xu Huasheng a few more questions at the dinner table.

Xu Huasheng naturally chose to reply him with something nice, and then told him to leave with the good feeling of "prosperity for the family".

Before leaving, Shu Jiao gave him an extra two hundred taels of silver.

After all, the silver she gave to He Chang yesterday was more than two hundred taels. She couldn't be too stingy with Xu Xiuxin, her legitimate husband.

Of course, Shu Jiao couldn't say that. She only said, "My sisters are placed outside, without a name or status, and they are already wronged. Since you have agreed, my husband, you should not be partial to one and give them all some rewards."

"Madam!"

Xu Xiuxin was deeply moved, "It is really my blessing to marry you."

"It is my blessing to marry my husband."

Shu Jiao responded.

Xu Xiuxin really couldn't agree with this statement. After all, he knew exactly what kind of person he was.

The couple stood at the door "reluctant to leave" and after saying goodbye for several words, Xu Xiuxin turned around and left.

"mother?"

Xu Huasheng felt strange, "You seem to be particularly generous to Dad recently?"

Usually this kind of situation only happens to his father.

Whenever his father had a mistress outside or did something wrong, he would come back and bring some gifts to his mother to make her happy.

His mother's current behavior looks particularly familiar!

Shu Jiao glanced at him and asked, "How is your stay in the Hanlin Academy?"

Not only Zheng Dingyu was in the Hanlin Academy, but also the top three, Xu Huasheng who ranked first in the second class, the first place in the imperial examination, and several others who ranked later were all in the Hanlin Academy.

The rest of those with worse grades were assigned to be directors of the six ministries or to places like the Imperial College.

"good."

Xu Huasheng responded, "Don't worry, mom. My grandfather is also in the Hanlin Academy. He takes good care of me."

His maternal grandfather is the original owner's biological father.

Speaking of this, I have to mention that the original owner's father probably worked in the Hanlin Academy until retirement.

However, the original owner's younger brother has some abilities and is currently serving as the co-director of the Salt Transport Commissioner's Office in Huaizhou, a fourth-rank official.

Although he is not considered a close minister of the current emperor, he is still listed in title.

Shu's father was in the Hanlin Academy, where he could do little. He was able to get to this point partly on his own and partly because of the original owner's use of the connections in the Marquis' Mansion to pave the way for him.

Whatever you say.

He is not too old but has managed to rise to the fourth rank. The Shu family has a chance to rise.

The results of it?

As a result, he was framed by the fallen Xu Huayu and was forced to take the blame from his boss, ending up losing his head.

What a pity.

When Shu Jiao thought about this, she felt that she should write a letter to her good brother who was far away in Huaizhou, telling him to prepare to get rid of his boss and take a step further.

It's not difficult either.

Salt transport envoy!

You know, the profits from the salt trade are extremely lucrative. If you want to engage in the salt trade, you have to get a salt permit.

The Salt Transport Commissioner was in charge of issuing salt permits to various places.

You can imagine how much money is available here.

The boss of the original owner's brother tampered with the salt permits, enriched himself, and was very happy. At that time, although Xu Huayu was not very old, he had already made friends with the prince and wanted to win over the salt transport envoy.

Coincidentally, the emperor sent an imperial envoy to Huaizhou to investigate the matter.

Xu Huayu immediately asked the salt transporter to pass the blame on to someone else, but who should he pass it on to? He looked at the list and it turned out to be the Shu family!

It's him!

So the original owner's younger brother became a scapegoat and died, and the Shu family was also raided.

"Tsk~"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Shu Jiao felt that Xu Huayu's death was a little too easy.

"You should work hard in the Hanlin Academy and gain a few years of experience. If there is a vacancy, we will try our best to send you to one of the six ministries as an assistant minister. It is better to be at the feet of the emperor than to be sent away."

Shu Jiao said.

Xu Huasheng nodded slightly, "I know, Lao Niang is worried."

Shu Jiao: "Keep calm, Hanlin is a good place."

It is much easier for Hanlin to be promoted than for those Jinshi who are sent out to other places.

Shu's father did not get promoted, firstly because the Shu family had no connections in Beijing, and secondly because Shu's father was a man of some literati character.

To put it bluntly, aloof.

If you don't study hard and don't join the team, the boss above is not a good person, so why would he promote someone who is not from this team?

"I understand, mother. Speaking of which, there is a person in the Hanlin Academy who I find quite strange."

"Who?"

"Zheng Dingyu."

"who???"

Shu Jiao asked again in surprise.

"Zheng Dingyu is the third place winner who ranked ahead of me."

Xu Huasheng explained.

"…What did he do?"

"He was approaching me on purpose, and the way he looked at me was strange." It didn't seem like he was looking at a friend, but more like he was looking at his son.

Shu Jiao was silent. Did that guy really find himself a cheap son?

It's really a headache.

When I go see him in two days, I'll wake him up and tell him not to be so obvious!

"Maybe it's because you're both young and have something to talk about. As long as he doesn't do anything to you, it's better to treat him as a friend than to have another enemy."

Shu Jiao said, and changed the subject again, "How have you and the prince been talking recently?"

"Not bad. The prince is very interested in me and has been asking about my identity in his letters, but I didn't tell him."

"Don't bring the pills into the palace. Now is not the time for you to reveal your identity."

The carrier pigeon from the East Palace would fly over every now and then, which seemed to indicate that their relationship was heating up.

However... we can still whet the other side's appetite.

After all, Xu Huasheng has not made any achievements yet. If he is sent to the prince too early, it will only lower his status in the prince's mind.

Xu Huasheng nodded, then slowly went to look for his wife.

Shu Jiao returned to the courtyard and wrote a letter to her brother in Huaizhou. After staying at home for two days, she went to find the beautiful woman who felt so broken - Zhu Shi.

Zhu Shi fiddled with the abacus with his slender fingers, his eyes half-opened lazily, with a smile on his face.

"Madam, have you had enough fun outside?"

"good."

"Humph, I was busy running a shop in Yuzhou. Madam, on the other hand, took the money I worked so hard to earn and went to make others laugh. How could she remember me~"

Zhu Shi squinted his eyes slightly, as if joking but also sad.
