"What else is he dissatisfied with? It's better than being a junior minister of the Imperial Household Department in the capital a few years ago, right? I started out as the deputy governor of Yulin Prefecture back then."
Chu Yuan was no stranger to her brother-in-law Yan Guangsheng. Over the years, she had already figured out his character. He was a man with high expectations but poor skills.
She only read books and had no brains to be an official. She spoke without thinking and often offended people unconsciously. If it weren't for her husband who always helped her, she would not have been promoted to the fourth rank official.
Even so, this brother-in-law always complains that his husband doesn't help him. Chu Yuan has been dissatisfied with him for a long time, but because he is her brother-in-law, she, as his sister-in-law, can't say anything.
Chu Yuan didn't want to say much now. After so many years, she no longer wanted to care about the second house, and she also wanted to persuade her husband to let the second house fend for itself.
Although his heart was filled with thoughts, Chu Yuan remained kind and gentle: "Master is doing this for my own good. Sooner or later, I will understand Master's good intentions."
If you can't figure it out, forget it. It's just as well that you don't have to raise a brainless guy who doesn't understand filial piety.
It would be best to make some more noise so that the master will be completely disappointed in the second wife and he won’t have to bother taking care of her anymore.
Things did not develop as Chu Yuan expected. Yan Guangsheng couldn't figure it out, but there was always someone in his family who could figure it out.
Ming has never been interested in official affairs. In her opinion, officials in Beijing are more noble than officials outside the capital. Naturally, she does not want her husband to be sent away, and she has some resentment towards her uncle.
Since you can get an official position outside the capital, why can't you help your husband get an official position in Beijing?
Yan Su, the smartest person in the family, has a different opinion. He knows his father well and knows that he is not someone who can accomplish great things.
I heard that my uncle had arranged a deputy position for my father as a deputy censor, but my father was unwilling to go, so he asked someone to push his wheelchair to persuade him to be transferred to another post.
Yan Guangsheng and his wife didn't understand why their son sided with his elder brother who didn't care about them. Yan Su was tired, but continued to persuade him patiently.
"The princes are growing up, and the capital is becoming more chaotic. Father, why don't you hide outside?"
My father is not cut out to be a high-ranking official. What if he accidentally gets involved in the fight for the throne and puts the lives of the whole family in jeopardy?
In fact, Yan Su has always suspected that his legs are broken, which is related to his inability to take part in the imperial examination and the fight for the throne.
In the past, he was young and full of vigor, and the news of his talent as the top scholar spread throughout the capital. Everyone said that he would surely shine in officialdom in the future.
Young and vulnerable, he was easily blown away by the wind. He was so conceited that he enjoyed the world's attention, completely unaware that he was walking on the cusp of the storm. He even made friends with the second prince's party for some unknown reason.
Yan Su tightened his hands on his knees. Who knows if these legs were broken on purpose to embarrass the Second Prince's party?
The fight for the throne is too dangerous, they absolutely cannot get involved in it.
Yan Guangsheng still trusted his eldest son after all. The next day, he went to Yan Guangyi and told him that he was willing to go to Yinan to serve as the deputy censor, asked for his help, and presented him with the thank-you gift carefully prepared by Ming.
