Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 38

But looking at the old lady's attitude, she probably wanted to take care of the middle school first, and would not be so quick to delegate power to the Down syndrome mother and daughter.

No matter how hard you work, there may be a chance for change. Aunt Wen comforted herself.

Over the years, she has been in charge of middle-income families, and she has been greedy for every little thing. But the amount was not large, because there was nothing big in the Hou family that she could embezzle.

The biggest one was Tang Chujun's dowry. But she basically never touched it, because she always felt that it would belong to her son sooner or later. Except...

Seeing Aunt Wen's gloomy face and daze, Mother Xing's displeasure showed on her face, "Hurry up, Aunt Wen. The old slave has to go and reply to the old lady after taking inventory."

Aunt Wen glared fiercely, "Why are you urging me? Don't you see that I'm thinking about something?"

Mother Xing didn't tolerate her either, "Aunt Wen, do you think you can stop counting the inventory and doing the accounting if you wait too long? The old lady said that if the accounts don't match up, I'll open your private treasury to clear the accounts."

Aunt Wen was shocked and angry, "How dare you!"

Mrs.

But before the messy pile of bad debts was settled, Aunt Wen was shocked to hear that Shi Chengxuan's dream of promotion was shattered.

Shi Chengxuan returned to the Hou Mansion in despair and went directly to He'an Courtyard.

He lay down on the chair dejectedly, closed his eyes, and said wiltedly, "It's over, it's over!"

Mrs. Shi's heart dropped when she saw this look, "What's the matter? Xuan'er, has the promotion result come out?"

Shi Chengxuan snorted in his nose.

The old lady was so upset that she sat aside speechless.

Three years ago, my son was also like this.

I often entertain guests and drink, but I can't get promoted.

I thought this year was different, but... Actually, to be precise, it is indeed different.

Shi Chengxuan said weakly, "I have to go to the Hanlin Academy after the new year."

Mr. Jiang's original words at that time were like this, "I recommend you to go to the Hanlin Academy. Although it is a mediocre appointment, as long as you work hard, I believe you will have the opportunity soon."

Jiang Youshen had some considerations in transferring Shi Chengxuan to the Hanlin Academy.

Shi Chengxuan has been working in the Ministry of Etiquette for many years. It's not that he has poor ability in doing things, it's not at all. Occasionally, weddings and funerals between officials and people can be full of mistakes and make jokes.

The Ministry of Rites is completely afraid to put anything into his hands now.

But the Hanlin Academy was different. This is where literati cultivate their reputation and learn.

Of course, Shi Chengxuan cannot be asked to compile the anthology and revise the old version himself. But with his qualifications and his family's background as Marquis of Jian'an, it is more than enough to manage the new literati.

If the literati here achieve something famous in the future, he can get some credit from Yourong Yan.

At least a place like the Hanlin Academy can reduce the chance of causing trouble for the family. There are many people who live their lives doing nothing. No one will laugh at anyone, it is a good place to retire.

To put it bluntly, who told him to have a good daughter? Jiang Youshen just wanted to return Shi Anxia's favor.

He had already said hello to the Hanlin Academy and assigned several promising scholars to work under Shi Chengxuan.

Finally, Jiang Youshen also warned, "The reputation of your Marquis Mansion is really hard to describe. If you don't handle it well, it will be very difficult in the future. You should take care of yourself."

Shi Chengxuan was not at all happy, but felt that Jiang Youshen had thrown him out of the Ministry of Rites as a burden.

Mrs. Shi also thought the same thing, and she gritted her teeth and placed all the blame on Aunt Wen, "If Wen Huiyi hadn't caused such a scene, why would you have done this?"
