Chapter 265 Sister
Da! Tang Yichen put down the brush in his hand.
He looked at the crooked words in front of him, his eyes full of frustration.
There are only two months left, can he really make it?
For the first time, he doubted his abilities.
He had spent ten years practicing his excellent handwriting, but now there were only two months left and he had to start from scratch.
During the day he was full of confidence in front of his family, but now facing all this alone, he deeply realized how difficult it was.
Knock, knock! Someone is knocking on the door.
Tang Yichen calmed down and said in a gentle voice, "Please come in."
Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu came in carrying things.
"Brother, Yinyin made some pastries for you."
"Sister Luwu made you some rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice wine."
Tang Yichen looked at the food brought by his two sisters, his eyes full of emotion: "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"We just came back from outside and saw that the candle in your room was still on. We thought you were still awake, so we came to bring you some midnight snacks." Tang Luwu said, "Brother, don't be anxious. Everything is difficult at the beginning. You work so hard, I believe things will get better and better."
"Sister Luwu has been thinking for a long time in the kitchen, thinking about how to persuade you." Qin Huiyin smiled with her hand covering her mouth.
"Why did you expose me?" Tang Luwu gently hit Qin Huiyin's arm. "I'm not good at talking, and it took me a lot of effort to come up with a few words of advice."
"I told you, my eldest brother is the smartest person in our family. We don't need to persuade him. He knows everything. We will always be your backers. Just keep moving forward and we will support you from behind. No matter what the result is, we just need to live up to ourselves."
"As the eldest brother, I am really failing in my duty by asking you two younger sisters to worry about everything. It's too late. Go and have some rest. You still have to take care of the store tomorrow."
"Then remember to eat the cakes and dumplings. Let's not disturb Big Brother for now."
After his two sisters left, Tang Yichen looked at the food in front of him and perked up.
Huiyin is right. No matter what the result is, as long as you don’t regret it, it’s fine.
He ate the pastry with one mouthful and drank the soup of the glutinous rice balls with wine at one sip.
sweet.
Song Ruize looked at the dam project in front of him and felt a sense of honor.
More than a year has passed and the dam has made very rapid progress, far exceeding the original plan.
Now, apart from Lord Wen and the county magistrate, he was the person with the most say in the entire dam. After seeing several dam heads fall into his hands one after another, those who tried to hinder him no longer dared to have any thoughts.
"Brother Ze, Lord Wen has sent you over."
"knew."
Song Ruize came to the workshop where Lord Wen was handling matters.
"Sir, you're looking for me?"
Lord Wen pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "Sit down."
Song Ruize sat down, looked at Lord Wen, and waited for his next instructions.
"The dam is making good progress now and will be completed in another year. I see that you are a talented person, so I want to ask you if you have any plans. Are you willing to go to the capital with me?"
"Your Excellency has no shortage of followers. Song is not very talented and well-educated, so I am afraid I cannot take on such a big responsibility."
"Haha...you are such a sly fellow." Lord Wen laughed when he heard her say that. "Of course I have no shortage of followers around me, and a talent like you shouldn't be limited to being a small follower. I want to recommend you to the Ministry of Industry. Your position won't be very high at first, but with your ability, it's only a matter of time before you move up."
"If I go to the Ministry of Industry, how will I arrange for my subordinates?"
"Your brothers are all good, but the officials of the Ministry of Works were admitted through the imperial examination. I dare to recommend you because you have made great contributions this time, and the memorial you wrote last time was very good, and the higher-ups praised you highly. Your brothers can be arranged to assist you, but they cannot give you official positions."
"As long as they can follow me, official positions are not important." If they can't become fat in one breath, they can strive for it with their own abilities.
"Since I'm following you, of course it's you who makes the arrangements."
"Okay, I'll think about it."
"There is still a year left. There is no rush. Take your time to think about it," said Lord Wen.
Song Ruize came out from Lord Wen, and Jiang Qibin came over and asked, "Brother Ze, what did Lord Wen want you to do?"
"He said that the dam would be completed in a year and asked me to follow him to the capital. He would arrange a position for me in the Ministry of Works."
"Do you agree?"
"not yet."
"Oh my God, why don't you agree? If it were me, I would agree immediately! It's so difficult for others to become an official. After ten years of hard study and passing the imperial examination, they may not be able to get a decent official position. You don't have to take the imperial examination. The officials in the Ministry of Works directly recommend you to join the Ministry. How many people envy this good thing?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's mine. It can't run away." Song Ruize said calmly, "There's still a year left."
"Brother Ze, you are reluctant to leave Sister Huiyin, right?" Jiang Qibin said, revealing his thoughts. "To be honest, Sister Huiyin will have to go to the capital sooner or later. You are just going first. What's the big deal?"
Song Ruize was silent.
"Think about it, is the boy from the Tang family going to take the imperial examination? Is he going to go to the capital for the examination? Although his arm is injured now, with his talent, he will not give up because of the injury. He will take the imperial examination even if it is two years later. You should first gain a foothold in the Ministry of Industry, and then climb up step by step. When he takes the imperial examination, your official position will definitely be higher than his. Can't you take better care of Sister Huiyin? The capital is a place where powerful people are everywhere. You can't do without someone to protect you."
"I'm going to go out for a while, you keep an eye on the dam." Song Ruize went to the stable.
Jiang Qibin looked at his back and said, "Is he going to discuss with Sister Huiyin? What is there to discuss? This is such a good opportunity. If you miss it, you will never have it again."
Song Ruize came to Chuan Chuan Xiang and saw chaos there. He threw the reins to the waiter and rushed in.
“Don’t smash things… Don’t smash things…” Tang Luwu stopped several tall men from smashing things.
One of the men pushed her and she leaned back, but Song Ruize held her shoulders and supported her.
When Tang Luwu saw Song Ruize, it was like she had found a life-saving straw: "Brother Song, they beat up Yinyin."
Song Ruize followed the direction Tang Luwu pointed and saw Qin Huiyin being hugged by Li Taohua. There was a wound on Qin Huiyin's forehead.
Tang Dafu stood in front of the mother and daughter. Although he was afraid, he did not retreat.
Tang Yichen rushed out upon hearing the news.
"What are you doing?"
Those big men were unfamiliar to me and I had never seen them before.
"My brother was severely burned by your guys, so it's a bargain for you that we just smashed your store."
Qin Huiyin said weakly: "No, I saw with my own eyes that they deliberately tripped the waiter's legs, causing the waiter to pour the soup on them. They were deliberately trying to scam me."
