Chapter 41

In Aunt Wen's opinion, the Hanlin Academy was naturally not as good as the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The Ministry of Revenue is the emperor's money bag. Who can ignore the people who manage money?

Taking herself as an example, she was more prosperous and respected when she was in charge of a house. Now that the power of the family has been taken away, even the blind servants can come and talk to her.

Aunt Wen's words should have been effective to Shi Chengxuan earlier. But now, I just ate the cake painted by my good daughter, and I can't eat anything else.

He looked very cold, "I don't think there is anything wrong with the Hanlin Academy." He paused and raised his head, "Do you have a relationship with Mr. Yuan's wife? Are you sure you don't have a relationship with his concubine?"

He didn't like to use these words to stab her in the past, but this time he messed up the promotion and Aunt Wen was the culprit, so there was nothing to say about pity.

Aunt Wen blushed when she heard this, but she couldn't refute it.

Although Mr. Yuan's real wife is not as noble as the Tang family, she also comes from a scholarly family, so she will not have a good relationship with her as a concubine.

On the contrary, Mr. Yuan's concubine, Mrs. Liang, was very close to her because of her hometown.

The two made appointments to meet from time to time. In short, Aunt Wen often comes up with bad ideas to bring disaster to the Yuan family.

She originally thought that by holding Liang's handle in her hand, she could blow the pillow.

As long as the master's affairs are done, all the troubles he has caused can be wiped out, and the power of running the family can be regained, then there will be no question of clearing up the accounts.

But now the master looked indifferent and didn't want to listen to her at all.

Shi Anxia also ignored Aunt Wen, treating her as nothing, "Father, your new official has taken office, and mother said she would entertain your colleagues at a banquet."

Chengxuan liked hearing this and was visibly happy, "Seriously?"

Shi Anxia nodded, "But mother said that you are in a low-level position and it is not appropriate to hold a big event. Just invite the few scribes in charge of you to your home for a small gathering."

Shi Chengxuan looked confused, "Oh, didn't you invite those above?"

"Of course not. The Hanlin Academy is different from other places. Father, please don't make random invitations, otherwise you may offend people and make people unhappy." When Shi Anxia saw Shi Chengxuan, his enthusiasm suddenly disappeared and he became gentle again. He said, "Mother will choose some appropriate gifts to send to them based on their preferences, so you don't have to worry."

"Don't worry!" Shi Chengxuan was not ungrateful and said smoothly, "Madam, she has a good heart, so of course I don't worry."

Seeing this scene of a loving father and a filial daughter, Aunt Wen recalled what Shi Chengxuan had said about Tang Chujun before, "She doesn't like me, and I don't like her! If my mother hadn't forced me to marry her, how could I have done it?" Are you going to marry such a stupid person?"

Now, Tang Chujun doesn't have to show his face, and he has become a "caring person" who worries about everything for him.

Aunt Wen secretly hated it.

Shi Anxia looked at it coldly, but her voice was a little warmer and softer, "Actually, the banquet that mother hosted for your colleagues was not all for you, father. Mother also wanted Brother Yunqi to meet them and raise some experience."

Madam Shi suddenly understood, she patted the armrest of the chair and said excitedly, "Mr. Chu, you are so thoughtful!"

Only then did Shi Chengxuan realize that those people were all on the Jinshi list, and some were even ranked very high.

If his son could get guidance from these people, wouldn’t it be more effective with half the effort!

I couldn't help but admire my wife's foresight and vision, "Madam, she has a vision!"

Mrs. Shi re-examined the Tang family's mother and daughter. Seeing that her granddaughter was wholeheartedly advising her father, it didn't look like she was cheating, nor did she look like she was in cahoots with her eldest brother.
