Chapter 464 Extra: The People Da Yu Officials Fear Most (Part 8)
Three days later, Emperor Xiao Wu issued the latest official assessment report from the Ministry of Personnel.
Most of them haven't changed.
The only change was that the person who was originally ranked last in the assessment was moved to the position of first place.
The relative of the Shangguan family who was originally very popular was moved to last place.
The Vice Minister of Personnel's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, and he quickly delivered the approved memorial to his superior.
The person who was originally rated as excellent is actually on Lord Shangguan's side.
The fact that His Majesty changed his viewing to that one suggests that His Majesty is dissatisfied with Lord Shangguan's family!
When Lord Shangguan saw this imperial edict, he was also taken aback...
But he suspected there was something fishy going on!
Lord Shangguan has always maintained a neutral attitude towards this guy who can't really be considered his son or brother-in-law.
But the fact that this has suddenly been targeted by the emperor's grandson is definitely no small matter...
No, we must find out exactly what happened next.
Before Lord Shangguan could figure things out, his eldest daughter, Shangguan Jin, returned to her parents' home.
Lord Shangguan immediately realized that it must be related to this matter, and then took his eldest son to the old lady's courtyard.
When Lord Shangguan went to the old lady's courtyard.
The concubine of Lord Shangguan's eldest son, who was also his most favored concubine, Wei, began to have doubts.
Didn't the old man say last time he came back that it was a done deal?
It is said that the memorial has been submitted to the Ministry of Personnel and is now awaiting the Emperor's approval.
It will only take three to five days at most...
What's going on now...?
My excellent performance evaluation was changed to average!
Could something really be wrong with the Shangguan family?
Aunt Wei broke out in a cold sweat.
She had planned it very carefully; if her younger brother passed the assessment this time, he would be promoted to the sixth rank!
Having a younger brother who is a sixth-rank official will surely make one feel more confident.
Previously, her family relied on her to secure a seventh-rank official position for her younger brother.
Later, the younger brother slowly climbed up the ranks and finally reached the seventh rank.
According to her original plan, her younger brother's official position would rise, which would give her more support and more say in the household.
With her three children having an uncle who is an official, no one can look down on her in the future.
Gradually, one's position becomes more secure.
In the future, my father-in-law will take good care of his younger brother for the sake of his two grandsons.
But this is on the condition that... the younger brother cannot do anything illegal or disorderly.
Now it seems...
At this critical juncture, that eldest aunt suddenly went back to her parents' home, which is not a good thing.
Aunt Wei felt a little flustered.
The eldest aunt of the Shangguan family held a different status. Not only did Shangguan Jin respect her, but the imperial family in the palace also regarded this aunt as the most respected person.
Don't people in Beijing always say that...?
You said some bad things about the imperial family. If you find Madam Shen, perhaps you can still save your entire family from being exterminated.
But if you say anything bad about Madam Shen, hehe, the imperial family will be the first to exterminate your entire clan!
Could it be that the eldest aunt came back because of this?
Impossible!
How could she not know what kind of person her younger brother was?
I won't make any big mistakes! At most, it'll just be some minor, harmless things.
Even if the imperial family is furious, it wouldn't be because of their younger brother.
That good-for-nothing younger brother... he doesn't have the ability to make such a big mistake...
......
By evening, Aunt Wei finally found out the news.
The eldest aunt accompanied the old lady and the others for tea, a chat, and dinner before returning home.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where is the master? Did he go to the east courtyard?" Aunt Wei asked.
"After the eldest aunt left, the master went to his study. He must be busy with something!" the maid who had been gathering information said immediately.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wei immediately said, "Send a bowl of sweet fermented rice soup to the master so he can rest early!"
The maidservant immediately agreed.
The concubine still cared for the master, so she never brought him soup herself; even if she did, she made the servants deliver it...
Following Aunt Wei's instructions, the maidservant delivered the soup to the study of the eldest son of the Shangguan family.
The eldest son was staring blankly at his desk.
After seeing the soup brought by the maid, he suddenly asked, "Is your aunt... good to you?"
The maid was taken aback, then quickly nodded.
"Of course! Our aunt is wonderful!"
We are able to live so well thanks to our aunt.
"Sir, my monthly salary is enough to support my family!" the maid said.
The eldest son smiled and then asked, "How much is your monthly salary?"
"Two taels of silver!" the maidservant replied honestly.
The eldest son smiled again.
"Two taels of silver, isn't that the monthly allowance for all the maids in the mansion?"
But this month's allowance was distributed to everyone in the mansion, so how did it become Aunt Wei's achievement?
If anyone should say thank you... you should thank the young mistress!
After all, the young mistress is now in charge of the household, and she is responsible for giving you your monthly allowance.
Furthermore, the reason you can send all your monthly allowance home is because you have no worries about food and clothing in your household.
The young mistress treats you all well; the household provides all your clothing, food, and daily necessities for all four seasons.
Why are you all only thinking about Aunt Xie Wei?
"Does that mean she gave you all these things?" the eldest son retorted.
The little maid was speechless...
