"Okay, there are a lot of people on the street now, so don't bump into anyone."
Jiang Shuyun reminded the two of the women on the street to avoid any clashes.
"Understood, Uncle Jiang, don't worry, we know what's important."
Gu Zheng and Shao Yun left, followed closely by Gu Wen and Gu Wu, with Li Qiang also in the process.
Jiang Shuyun led Butler Li and his group to return home, as Shao Ming still had some matters to attend to.
He doesn't need to take the examination for the position of Shujishi; he can directly enter the Hanlin Academy to take up a post.
We need to make proper arrangements in the capital.
Li Li and his wife stayed, as did Wei Dong and his wife; they were all trained by An and left for the children.
As the family raises their own children, they will gradually develop capable assistants.
Back in the rented courtyard, Jiang Shuyun asked Butler Li to make arrangements for the staff, and to carefully select the people to stay in the capital.
"Master, you said to keep Li Li and Yun Duo, Wei Dong and Mian Hua, so that the stewards of the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard will be fine."
The servants are Jiang Yan and Jiang Mo, who are literate and also skilled in martial arts.
We'll buy two more maids and two more gatekeepers from the brokerage firm, and then we'll have everything we need.
"Once the eldest young master is engaged, the future young mistress will also bring someone to serve him."
The arrangement of housekeeper Li was based on the newly purchased house, which only has two courtyards and cannot accommodate too many people.
Since the master and mistress aren't coming, and the young master is being granted an official position—a minor official of the sixth or seventh rank—it's better for him to keep a low profile.
"Okay, you can arrange it as you see fit."
Li Li will be the steward, and Wei Dong will be the manager and guard. This is the arrangement for now.
The inner courtyard has clouds and cotton; when Shao Ming gets married, someone will naturally make arrangements.
Mu Yi'an had explained these things clearly before he came.
If Shao Ming can stay in Beijing after high school, then this arrangement will be made.
When Shao Ming and the others returned, it was already quite late.
Jiang Shuyun had someone set out the table and prepared to eat.
"Father, thank you and Mother for raising and nurturing me."
Shao Ming knelt down and kowtowed three times to Jiang Shuyun.
"Alright, get up. Your mother and I appreciate your kindness."
Jiang Shuyun helped Shao Ming up. After Shao Ming became the top scholar in the imperial examination, there wasn't much he could do to help him in his future career.
"Father, I will remember your and Mother's teachings and will do my best to act with a clear conscience and walk the straight path in the future."
"Remember what you said today, and do everything with a clear conscience."
You are paid by the emperor, so be loyal to him; don't overthink it.
Your grandfather once said that our Jiang family, one generation after another, will eventually make a name for ourselves.
Don't rush, walk steadily.
Jiang Shuyun repeated what his father had said, and he thought it made a lot of sense.
One must remain calm at all times, without rushing or panicking. It is better to be slow and deliberate than to make a mistake.
"I understand."
Not only did Jiang Shaoming and Jiang Shaoyun answer, but Gu Zheng also called out.
Fortunately, no one noticed, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
"Alright, let's get ready to eat. Everyone's tired today, so get some rest."
Jiang Shuyun had many delicious dishes prepared. Today, Shao Ming became the top scholar in the imperial examination, and Mu Ziyi was also granted the title of Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examination). It's worth celebrating.
