After transmigrating to ancient times, Shangguan Jin, who used to work in investment banking, feels utterly useless.
She can't farm, and she can't create modern contraptions. The only...
Chapter 465 Extra: The Person the Officials of Da Yu Fear Most (Part 9)
The eldest son didn't expect the little maid to understand anything.
"Go back! Tell Aunt Wei that I'll go over there after I'm done with what I'm doing here."
After saying that, he waved for the maid who brought the soup to leave.
Today, my aunt came and explained why the imperial family changed the evaluation of my aunt's brother.
"The Shangguan family has had a tough journey. It is the result of the hard work of several generations that they have achieved what they have today."
Those who come from a background of censorship should be even less inclined to engage in opportunistic behavior.
It may seem like a small matter now, but what about later?
Those who have tasted success will only be more inclined to find ways to succeed through crooked means...
It's best to keep matters of the inner quarters separate from those of the imperial court...
The eldest aunt's words made everyone in the Shangguan family gasp.
Especially the eldest son, whose face was burning with pain.
He boasted that he had done a good job in these matters, and that he had not favored his concubine over his wife.
But there always seemed to be people around saying how good Aunt Wei was, how sensible she was...
Being sensible and understanding? Isn't that a compliment only reserved for the legal wife?
The eldest son thought about it for a long time and finally figured it out.
He finally understood what his aunt meant!
In fact, in the inner quarters, he had always lived in a place called an information cocoon...
The eldest son sighed.
Thinking about what my aunt said, then what my father said, and what my grandfather and great-grandfather said...
The eldest son also realized how terribly wrong he had been in the past.
Thinking of this, the eldest young master slowly got up and walked towards Concubine Wei's courtyard...
When Aunt Wei saw the eldest son arrive, she was overjoyed.
The maid's hesitant manner just now made her think that the master must be angry and wouldn't come over.
Unexpectedly, the old man still felt sorry for himself.
Aunt Wei thoughtfully poured a cup of tea for the eldest son, and then gently massaged his shoulders.
"Grandpa's been working hard lately, let the kitchen help you nourish yourself..."
"The Wei family!" the eldest son suddenly spoke.
Aunt Wei was taken aback. Was the master calling her? Didn't the master always call her Yu Yan before?
"uncle......"
"It's better to be more reliable with your brother and not always try to take shortcuts."
Whether something has been done or not, and whether it has been done well or not, the people have their own judgment.
It's not that you can become a good official by spending money to hire some people to create momentum.
His rating this time is... near the bottom! He'll probably stay there forever.
"Tell him... to take care of himself!" the eldest son suddenly said.
Aunt Wei...
"Master! What... what exactly happened? This servant has no idea!" Aunt Wei was a little flustered.
Whether you know it or not is no longer important.
You just need to tell your brother this and tell him to be careful.
Also, the three children... will all be under the care of the young mistress when they go to school.
The young mistress's family is a family of renowned scholars; the children will not go wrong if they are entrusted to her care.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. You'd better take care of yourself!" The eldest son said, getting up to leave.
Feeling as if struck by lightning, Aunt Wei barely managed to stand.
"Master...it's so late, won't you rest here?" Aunt Wei asked softly, tugging at the eldest son's sleeve.
The eldest son calmly pulled his sleeve out of Aunt Wei's hand.
"No! I'll go check on the young mistress and stay at her place tonight!"
After saying that, the eldest son left without looking back.
Aunt Wei collapsed to the ground, utterly distraught.
What happened? How did the weather suddenly change?
Everything was fine before...
......
This incident also caught Shangguan Jin's attention.
It's best not to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients!
Some of the rules and regulations regarding the Spring Festival Gala need to be changed!
However, Shangguan Jin only made a start; as for what to do next, that was left for Shen Qingyue and Lian Qianli to figure out themselves.
She can't help them forever...
Thus, Shen Qingyue had no choice but to work with Lian Qianli to fix these loopholes.
Of course, it also comes with its own silence...
"Mother! If you do something wrong, you must be punished! No one is exempt! What you see is what matters! What you hear doesn't count!"
"Mother! They should be punished even if they don't do anything. We can't let them just take the money without doing any work!"
"Mother! We can't let them stay in one place all the time!"
"We're too familiar with each other; someone might treat us to a meal, which isn't good..."
The silent man had many ideas and kept talking about them.
......
And so, the leader of Chunbuwan became the person most feared by officials in Chongqing.
Whether they could be promoted smoothly used to depend solely on the Ministry of Revenue.
The Ministry of Revenue's decision no longer matters; it all depends on the final evaluation of the Spring Festival Gala...
What? You don't want to work here anymore and want to quit?
Haha, please go that way, take care!
As soon as you leave, a whole bunch of people will be waiting behind you!
There are plenty of passionate and ambitious people out there!
So many people are waiting to dedicate their lives to Chongqing...
