Chapter 162: What if we can’t live together anymore as agreed?
Although he was a playboy in the past, he is now in great prominence. He is well-educated, did well in the palace examination, and is also very handsome. He is so handsome that the emperor is reluctant to let him be the second place and must make him the third place.
Therefore, many matchmakers wanted to come to propose marriage, but the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion seemed to be in unrest, so sensible people did not come to the house. As for the ignorant people who insisted on coming to the house to propose marriage, their natural outcome was that they would be kicked out by the doorman.
Our mansion is not accepting guests now.
As for these successful Jinshi, not to mention the second and third classes, all those from the first class would enter the Hanlin Academy. Xie Huaiguang, Chen Zhou, and Gu Zixuan, one became a compiler in the Hanlin Academy, of the sixth rank, and the remaining two became editors in the Hanlin Academy. Although they were not assigned to other places, their official positions were not high. Moreover, the Hanlin Academy was the emperor's secretariat, with a lot of trivial matters. The only advantage was that they could be close to the emperor at any time.
After the officials were appointed, everyone wore their official robes and took up their posts.
Xie Huaiguang and Gu Zixuan, one was from the sixth rank and the other from the seventh rank, their official robes were the same green color, and they did not stand out at all among the crowd of red and purple.
After meeting their immediate superiors and colleagues, Xie Huaiguang and Gu Zixuan sat in their seats and worked quietly.
In fact, there was nothing much to do. After all, the two had just taken up their posts. After their boss gave them some instructions, he told them that they could first read some books and manuscripts to familiarize themselves with the content of their work.
Looking at everyone busying about quietly, Gu Zixuan lowered his voice and said, "Being an official is meaningless."
The huge Hanlin Academy was quiet and peaceful, and the two newlyweds seemed to have nothing to do.
Xie Huaiguang smiled and said, "The seventh rank is not a big deal, but if you move up to the third rank, second rank, and first rank, it will definitely become more and more interesting."
Looking at Xie Huaiguang's satisfied expression, Gu Zixuan was certain that this man, like his fifth brother, was a material for becoming an official.
"Unfortunately, with my ability, I am destined not to be a top official."
I feel bored staying in the Hanlin Academy, how can I become a high-ranking official?
Oh, what should I do? How can I easily jump to a higher rank, do what I am interested in, and support my mother at the same time?
Gu Zixuan sighed.
Going to work every day is really boring.
But, that’s how civil servants gain experience. The starting point of the Hanlin Academy is already very high, and at least the chances of being reused are greater than others.
Three days passed in a flash.
The people from the Hexi Su family finally arrived in the capital.
Because the incident happened suddenly, three horses died on the road. Mr. Zhuzhi, who was waiting at the official post station outside the city, finally saw the Su family elder, Mr. Su Bingzhi, who came in a dusty mood on the morning of the third day.
Su Bingzhi was nearly sixty years old, but he was in very good health. He often caught foxes, deer and other animals when he went hunting on horseback every year, so long-distance raids were not a difficult task for him.
But after all, he is old, and he looks a bit weak after rushing all the way here, and he can't be compared with young people.
"gentlemen!!"
When Mr. Zhuzhi saw the person coming, he immediately came forward, personally led the horse, and helped the person down: "Sir, why did you come here in person?"
When Su Bingzhi was young, he once taught Mr. Zhuzhi. Although the time was short, only half a year, for Mr. Zhuzhi, that half year was equivalent to a lifetime, so he was extremely respectful to Su Bingzhi.
"When my daughter is getting married, I have to come and see her. Otherwise, I won't know if she's been wronged."
Su Bingzhi's words were obviously biased towards Su Jin, but Mr. Zhuzhi didn't think it was a big deal. The Yong'an Marquis's Mansion favored their son Gu Changqing, so isn't it natural for the Su family to favor Su Jin?
"Mr. Bamboo Branch!"
Following behind Su Bing was Su Jin's father, Su Xilin, and the middle-aged man who came behind was Su Jin's brother, Su Heng.
Seeing that all the important figures of the family had arrived, Mr. Zhuzhi hurriedly asked them to sit down, take a rest and drink some tea.
Although he was resting, he did not miss a single thing in the capital. He explained in detail what happened at the Enrong Banquet. At the end, Su Heng was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "The Yong'an Marquis's Mansion is going too far!"
It’s okay that my sister is wronged, but why should the children suffer as well?
Su Heng said angrily, "I said that since he was little, Brother Xuan has been a smart kid. How could he become a playboy in the end? I'm afraid that it has always been that Lin Wanhui who has been causing trouble?"
Although Hexi is far from the capital, when his sister gives birth to a child, the brother will come to see it. He had seen Gu Zixuan when he was a child. He was chubby, cheerful and smart. One could tell at first sight that he was a likable child. But in the end, he was raised to be a playboy?
As his uncle, he didn't believe it at all, but now he knows it was all Lin Wanhui's fault.
Su Bingzhi swallowed the tea and spoke slowly: "The biggest problem is still Gu Changqing."
Su Xilin also nodded: "What the clan elder said is true. If Gu Changqing could treat everyone equally, there wouldn't be so many problems. Or if the old marquis had disciplined his son, it wouldn't be like this."
"Mr. Zhuzhi, is Lin Wanhui still in the mansion?"
This is the issue that Su Xilin is concerned about.
Since everything was masterminded by Lin Wanhui, the Yong'an Marquisate should at least make some statement, right?
Mr. Zhuzhi shook his head: "He is just locked up, but he is still in the mansion."
Hearing this, the three men all frowned, and Su Heng turned around to lead the horse: "Father, elders, you guys take a rest first, I'll go to the city first!"
Su Heng rode away on his horse, and Su Xilin stood up and shouted, "Don't do anything."
"knew!"
The horse rode away in a cloud of dust. Su Xilin frowned, sat down, and looked at the elders.
Su Bingzhi had a calm expression, drinking tea with his eyes half closed, and his head of silver hair was very eye-catching in the morning light. After all, it was rare to see an old man of this age who was so energetic, which attracted many passers-by to look at him.
Su Bingzhi didn't say anything, and neither did the others. Mr. Zhuzhi ordered some food, and after they had breakfast the three of them slowly walked towards the city.
Upon learning that the elders of the Hexi Su family had arrived, the Yong'an Marquis Mansion naturally opened its doors to welcome them.
Gu Zhao took leave in advance and returned home to welcome Su Bingzhi.
As for Su Heng, he went straight to Liuting Pavilion after entering the door and didn't even see the rest of the people.
Since the people in Yong'an Marquis' Mansion treat my sister badly, there is no need to observe any etiquette. The end result will be a fall out.
"Jin'er, Jin'er!"
Hearing the voice, Su Jin was in a trance for a moment. Yuchuan ran in excitedly and said happily, "Madam, our uncle is here! That's great, someone from our mother's family has finally come. Isn't it time to stand up straighter now?"
Su Jin was not very excited. The original body's brother was not her own brother. To her, he was just an extra memory of a brother who loved her, so she didn't move at all.
"Jin'er, big brother is here, big brother will support you!"
As soon as Su Heng entered the room, he saw Su Jin leaning on the beauty couch, biting half a piece of cake.
In Su Heng's impression, Su Jin at that time was being tortured by Gu Changqing and Lin Wanhui. He must have been miserable, skinny, sickly and tragic, on the verge of death. But the Su Jin he saw in reality had a ruddy complexion, a shiny hair, and was surrounded by all kinds of snacks and delicacies. The only thing missing was someone who could dance and sing.
Su Heng: ...
???
What if we can’t live together anymore?
