Knowing that his parents had already chosen a house, Chen Huaixu stopped trying to stop them.
"That's good too. It sounds more convenient."
After returning home in the evening, Shen Huaixu received a letter from Beichuan County, which was sent by Lu Hui, saying that he would bring it to the capital in half a month.
Shen Huaixu learned from the letter sent by Jiang Zhengmao that Lu Hui and Qiao'er were already married.
She was happy to see this. Li Qiaoer was not a woman who could stay at home and work hard. Lu Hui knew this from the beginning, and her previous experience made her more cautious. Accepting Lu Hui must be the result of careful consideration.
I don't know whether the couple came to the capital together this time or just Lu Hui came. Uncle Yan's presence in the capital is enough. Shen Huaixu has other arrangements for Lu Hui. It's not too late to talk about it in person when the person arrives.
On the day when he met the emperor to be granted an official position, Jiang Erlang got up very early, and his red court robes made him look even better.
He rode his horse through the streets, attracting many people to watch.
In the court, the imperial edict of appointment was issued. Jiang Erlang did not enter the Hanlin Academy as he expected, but was sent to Huai'an Prefecture and became a county magistrate.
Jiang Erlang:······
Shouldn’t Yijia stay in Beijing?
Look at others again - most of them were sent out, and only a handful of them stayed in Beijing.
Jiang Erlang's mind was full of questions, but he never showed them on his face. Huai'an Prefecture had experienced natural disasters and man-made disasters, and was now very poor because of the disturbance caused by His Highness Prince Duan. Not to mention that he learned from Lord Shen last night that Huai'an Prefecture might be in chaos. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it would be a mess. Many families would probably sell their children to get a meal.
If you do well in this place, you will get promoted quickly; if you do not do well, you will lose your head quickly.
Thinking about his performance in the palace examination yesterday, he found nothing unusual, so he lowered his eyes and stopped thinking about it.
The emperor looked at the depressed expressions of the crowd with satisfaction, and looked at this year's top scholar with great interest. Every word he said hit the mark, indicating that he was a promising talent. But now his brows were furrowed, as if he were still in the examination hall yesterday, and it seemed that he did not quite understand or was satisfied with his arrangement.
Role model was in his fifties, and considering that he would not be able to serve as an official for many more years at this age, he made him an editor in the Hanlin Academy - the only cheerful one among the first class; then looking at the most handsome third place winner, since he learned that the third place winner had a close relationship with the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, he ordered people to investigate him thoroughly, and he was quite satisfied with the results. It is good to have the support of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, but... everything has its pros and cons.
After the court session, the new Jinshi candidates began to parade through the streets. Shen Huaixu had never seen it before and wanted to broaden his horizons, so he openly skipped work with his two young apprentices and came to the place Jiang Wei had booked early in the morning to wait.
After two cups of tea, no one came until he heard the sound of gongs and drums. Jiang Fu also stood on tiptoe and said excitedly, "Here they come!" Shen Huaixu squeezed forward to check, and immediately found something wrong.
"What's wrong with these Jinshi? They don't look very happy?" Jiang Wei asked curiously.
While feeling strange, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, her second brother is really handsome! Quietly, among these dazed-looking Jinshi, only her second brother is the same as before... His smile is a little fake.
Jiang Wei subconsciously looked at Shen Huaixu, wanting to get an answer from her.
Chen Huaixu winked at Xiaoman, who understood and disappeared into the teahouse. When she came back, the news that Jiang Erlang was about to take up the position of magistrate of Ji County, Huai'an Prefecture, had reached the ears of several people.
Jiang Wei and Jiang Fu were confused and laughed foolishly, "So, Second Brother is going to become the chief official of the entire county? Isn't that a good thing?"
Fang Cangli has been living in the capital and has seen a lot. He did not dare to say anything and looked at his master.
Xiaoman couldn't help but wonder, "Second Young Master is a top scholar after all, how could he be exiled to such a remote place? It's like being exiled to the frontier."
Chen Huaixu knew that it was probably because her father was too conspicuous in the court. The emperor's arrangement was both a warning to her Xuanping Marquis Mansion and a test of Jiang Erlang's ability.
The imperial edict has been issued, and there is no room for maneuver in this matter.
Still outside, Chen Huaixu didn't want to explain too much to the two of them, so he just found an excuse to fool them.
Picking up the teacup again and taking a sip, she lowered her eyes and thought, I have to find an excuse to go to the Southern Xia border.
After the Fluorite incident, most of the obstacles deployed by Nanxia in the capital were apparently removed. The Nanxia envoys came to the capital amidst the scolding of the people, but were left out for a while and then left in disgrace. On the surface, it seemed that nothing had happened.
Chen Huaixu just thought it would be best to pursue the victory, and she also wanted to take care of Fu Yin to prevent him from falling into a mental turmoil.
Last time, he only inhaled a tiny amount of powder and took two days to recover. Who knows if he can enter the space while still conscious next time? What if Qiao Man also thinks of this and specifically targets him?
She rolled her eyes, thinking perhaps her second brother's appointment to Ji County could be an opportunity. However... she was a little conflicted.
On the way home in the evening, she asked Xiaoman and Yinghua, "Xiaoman, Yinghua, do you think Daddy would agree if I go out for a walk?"
"Let's go for a walk? Where are you going, young lady?" Yinghua asked impatiently. She had just become the young lady's maid not long ago, and she wanted to follow the young lady if she wanted to go.
"Reading thousands of books is like traveling thousands of miles. I have read a lot of books, and it is time for me to go out and broaden my horizons." Shen Huaixu said.
In her past life, she always had missions to fulfill, and she couldn't stay in any place for long. After staying in the capital for a long time, she really wanted to go out and explore the world. The only thing that stood in her way, besides her father, was probably the ancient roads and carriages, which made her question her life.
"The Marquis probably won't agree." Xiaoman told the truth.
Shen Huaixu nodded, "I think so too, but..."
She smiled slyly, "Who knows."
On the second day, Chen Huaixu came to the Prince's Mansion again and gave acupuncture to Prince Shouning. She hinted to him intentionally or unintentionally that maybe she could find a way to cure the hidden disease. As expected, Prince Shouning, who was somewhat helpless in bed and was in an increasingly irritable mood, fell into the trap.
"Tell me, how should we treat it? I will find any herbs or ancient books you need."
