Although Su Chengyan was transferred back to Beijing with a transfer order, the order did not mention his position after returning to Beijing.
In the past few days, Su Chengyan went to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War to inquire, and they said that there are no vacant positions for military generals in the capital now, so he has to wait.
Many officials in the capital were waiting for vacancies, all anxiously searching for a way out. After all, without a position, there was no real power, and without real power, there was no money. Their meager salaries were simply not enough to support their families.
Su Qingyu was startled at first, but then she understood. No wonder Second Aunt had been so gentle and soft-spoken since she entered the room. Even when she said something unpleasant, Second Aunt never showed any anger.
It turns out he was waiting here.
Su Qingyu naturally didn't want to get involved in Su Chengyan's affairs. She thought about it and said with a smile.
"Aunt, you've found the wrong person, haven't you? You didn't find someone who can do this job already, but you came to me, looking for someone far away."
He was stunned, not understanding what Su Qingyu meant. There weren't many people in the capital who could arrange a good position for Su Chengyan, and she thought Shen Zhixiu was the best candidate.
Seeing that she was puzzled, Su Qingyu signaled He to look at Su Yihui.
"Second Aunt, Third Sister will soon be the wife of the Crown Prince of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion."
"Second Uncle used to work for the Duke of Wei, and it was Prince Zhao who helped him get the transfer. It would be a good idea for you to ask Third Sister to tell Prince Zhao about it."
"Third Master may be the Second Assistant Minister of the Cabinet, but Elder Chen is still concurrently serving as the Minister of Personnel. As for the military commanders, Third Master cannot surpass the Duke of Weiguo and the Marquis of Zhongyi."
"Although Second Sister has offended the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty, Third Sister, please help me talk to Prince Zhao and I will definitely be able to arrange a good position for Second Uncle."
He knew that Su Chengyan's transfer order was signed by Prince Zhao, and she also knew it was because of Su Yihui. However, she had heard that Prince Zhao wasn't planning a grand ceremony for his second marriage, only planning to carry the bride in a sedan chair on June 15th. Didn't this mean that Prince Zhao didn't value his wife?
On the other hand, Su Qingyu married into the Shen family with great fanfare, and Shen Zhixiu held great power. This kind of thing should only take a word.
So He weighed the pros and cons again and again before deciding to speak to Su Qingyu.
When Su Qingyu said this at this time, she was a little confused about whether she was making an excuse or really meant it.
Su Qingyu looked at Su Yihui again, "Third sister, if you can help with Second Uncle's matter, you will be the number one hero in our family."
"My second uncle has been in Qianzhou these years, and Grandmother has been thinking about him the most. Now that he has returned to the capital, Prince Zhao should arrange a good position for him for my third sister's sake."
"Prince Zhao still values his third sister very much."
Su Qingyu's words had Su Yihui on edge, and she couldn't even refute what she was saying. What was she saying? That Prince Zhao didn't really value her? Or that she wasn't capable of arranging a good position for her second uncle?
Su Yihui could only laugh awkwardly and said, "Second aunt's brother is now the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, and my niece is the Consort of the Eastern Palace."
"Isn't this matter... just a matter of a word from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Su Qingyu sneered inwardly. He Jiaojiao had never been favored by the prince in her previous life. Otherwise, her second uncle wouldn't have stayed in Qianzhou all this time.
He also explained, "Jiaojiao has just entered the Eastern Palace, so it's not appropriate to mention this matter specifically to the Crown Prince."
Su Qingyu looked at Su Yihui, "Are you in a difficult situation, Third Sister? Or does Prince Zhao not really care that much about you?"
Although this was true, Su Yihui didn't want to admit it. She didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to bring down Su Qingyu. She also didn't want her grandmother and second aunt to look down on her, thinking she was useless and couldn't even win over a man.
So when He looked at her, she nodded confidently, "In that case, don't worry, Second Aunt, I will mention this matter to Prince Zhao."
"It just has to wait until after the wedding. It's not convenient for me to meet with Prince Zhao privately right now."
Su Yihui was determined to win Zhao Ji's heart after marriage. During their honeymoon, she whispered something in his ear and the matter was settled.
Su Qingyu was right. As long as she succeeded in this matter, her grandmother and her second uncle and aunt would look up to her.
Seeing Su Yihui's promise, He Shi also felt relieved. She thought Su Qingyu was right, the county magistrate was better off taking charge. It seemed that she would have to interact more with Su Yihui in the future and cling to the big tree of the Duke of Wei's Mansion.
Thinking of this, the look he gave Su Yihui became a little friendlier than before.
They held hands and asked about each other's well-being for a long time.
Su Yihui was so flattered by He's words that she was probably completely lost.
Su Qingyu watched coldly from the side, laughing inwardly. The compliments Su Yihui gave today would be the same complaints He would receive tomorrow.
In the past few days, Shen Zhixiu had been chatting with her, and he had inadvertently talked about a lot of things about the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Su Qingyu also had some understanding of this prince of the Duke of Wei's Mansion.
It would be extremely difficult for Su Yihui to seek benefits for the Su family from him.
"Second Aunt, there's no need to embarrass Big Sister. She just married into the Shen family, so it's hard for her to ask for help."
The implication is that Su Qingyu has no say at all in front of Shen Zhixiu.
Su Qingyu did not argue, as if she agreed with Su Yihui's words.
She doesn't care what the Su family thinks of her. What's important is not to cause trouble for her.
If she showed off how much Shen Zhixiu doted on her and how much the old lady valued her, the Su family would probably find a bunch of things for her to do in less than three days.
"Grandma, what should we do about the ancient fragrant satin?"
"How are we going to explain this to the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion?"
Su Qingyu was afraid that they would cause trouble for Su Shunci again after she left, so she asked the old lady.
The old lady glared at Su Shunci angrily when she heard this. "You are in charge of the shop now. What do you think we should do?"
