The Qu family married their daughter at a low age, and they were well aware of the Song family's situation. What the Qu family valued was Song Zhan's talent and character, as well as his own abilities. Before deciding on this marriage, they had already secretly inspected the situation. I know how many times.
If the Song family really prepares a splendid betrothal gift for Qu Lingzhu, Qu Shangshu is afraid that he will stop the engagement and first check whether Song Zhan has committed corruption, accepted bribes, or done anything improper.
Therefore, the Qu family had already expected the Song family's mediocre betrothal gift and did not care. Song Zhan was still young and had a good future. In a few years, things would naturally get better.
Besides, the Song family was a little worse off, but they also prepared a betrothal gift for Qu Lingzhu. Although it was not much, it could still make her daughter's life easier. After ten or eight years, the Song family got up, and life was good. .
Since we are sincerely getting married, we can't do anything that makes things difficult for others. Otherwise, we won't want to live in the future.
So with the harmonious acquiescence of both parties, the marriage was firmly settled. Although people outside were curious about the Song family's betrothal gift, although they didn't see much, they just mentioned it and didn't think it was anything. .
After all, even if a student from a poor family is the top scholar, it is impossible for him to accumulate a rich family so quickly.
However, because of the betrothal gift, Song Zhan caught the eye of the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and sent a memorial, hoping to transfer Song Zhan to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate was under the direct control of the emperor. The chief executive was the censor of the left and right capital, responsible for supervision, impeachment and recommendations. In the eyes of many people in the court, it was like a stubborn rock in the pit that could not be broken by stepping on, kicking or beating. Not flat.
All in all, smelly and tough.
It has even become a habit to criticize someone to the death, and I feel that it is very honorable to criticize someone to death and leave my name in history.
If anyone is targeted by someone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they won't be able to get rid of them, and they won't even have a place to cry.
After Song Zhan won the imperial title of Number One Scholar, he was appointed a sixth-rank official by the Hanlin Academy. This official position lasted for three years. He resigned after three years and was replaced by the new Number One Scholar. Song Zhan has been in this position for more than two years. After the spring of next year, he will step down after taking over the new No. 1 pick.
At that time, if he cannot be transferred to various ministries, he will be sent to foreign posts.
Originally, the Qu family wanted to help, but Song Zhan refused. He felt that it would be better whether he was an official in the imperial city or a local official. He was still young and needed experience. He would always have to make his own way in the future. Come out, instead of hiding under the wings of others to block the wind and rain that belongs to him.
If so, he is no longer himself, and he will not be able to go far in the future.
Although the Qu family was reluctant to let their daughter follow him in foreign affairs, they admired him and felt that he was a person and there would definitely be a place for him in the court in the future, so they did not mention it again.
It was an unexpected surprise to be able to catch the attention of the Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The Song family and the Qu family were very happy. Soon after, the transfer order from the Ministry of Personnel came down, asking him to go and hand over the good things to the new editor next year. The Metropolitan Procuratorate reports.
After Song Zhan and Qu Lingzhu got engaged, less than a month later, Yan Xiangyue married and left the imperial city.
After Qu Lingzhu learned that Yan Xiangyue coveted Song Zhan, she had already fallen out with her former sister, and the day of adding makeup had never passed.
Yan Xiangyue left the imperial city in despair.
It was hot in July, and Su Wan didn't like to go out anymore. She rested in the house on weekdays. If the weather was too hot, she would stay in the house. There would be an ice basin beside the house to cool down, and she would talk to Madam Zhang about clothes or things. Make something else.
If the weather is more comfortable, she will go to the pavilion in the garden to feed the fish, or feed the two idiots, Dadai and Erdai.
Occasionally, I discussed the jewelry shop with Manager Lin. Su Wan had a good idea before, and the business in the shop has been very good recently. Manager Lin got the direction and felt that it would be good to run it like this, so he asked Su Wan to do more. Come up with several styles.
Su Wan was naturally interested in her own shop. She did a lot of painting at the beginning, but in the end, all the stock in her mind was exhausted, so she stopped working and put the matter aside. , and asked him to ask the master to draw new ones based on the previous ones.
It’s really hard to make money!
She really couldn't understand why Su Ran could remember so many things, including poems, songs, so many lyrics, and even jewelry designs.
Is it because the author gave her the most powerful brain? It has super high capacity and everything, and is everything complete? !
Anyway, she couldn't do it. Songs like those from the Changge Tower could empty out her mind in a month, so how could they last long.
She felt sorry for herself that God had not cheated on her, but then she felt relieved when she thought about how her life was going well now, and it was still her dream to win in life.
Okay, just continue to lie down with peace of mind.
July was over, and August soon came. For the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion on August 15th, Li Lin took Su Wan back to Jinning Palace.
Although it is not appropriate for a married girl in Su Wan to go back to her parents' home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, fortunately, there are only Li Lin and Su Wan in the Li family. Su Wan took it away. She was afraid that she would have few opportunities to spend this Mid-Autumn Festival with her family.
Forget about others, but Su Wan especially cares about her father. It would be good if she could spend another Mid-Autumn Festival reunion with him.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon was full and a bright moon hung in the sky. Wang ordered a banquet in the courtyard. While eating and drinking, admiring the moon and changing cups, it was extremely lively.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival was a reunion, but several people were missing from the house, not counting those who were married, but two people were really absent.
One is Su Lin, who was thrown out by Duke Jinning to serve abroad, and the other is Su Xun, who went out to study as a teacher.
It was the first time that Su Xun was not at home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mrs. Li kept thinking about it. She always felt that she was not happy anywhere. She was worried about whether he was eating well outside, whether he was well-dressed, how he would spend the Mid-Autumn Festival today, and whether he had eaten moon cakes. No more.
However, she also knew that Su Xun went out to study for the sake of his future. As a mother, she naturally hoped that he would be better, and there was no reason to stop her child. Therefore, looking at what she was thinking, she had no reason to stop him. Dare you mention this.
But if she didn't mention it, someone would do it for her.
"I saw that the third younger brother and sister looked inappropriate. Could it be that they were thinking about Ah Xun?" Mrs. Jiang was sitting on a table nearby. Under the moonlight, her powdered face looked like a white ghost.
She cried twice, with a sad look on her face, "Speaking of which, I also miss my husband. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I don't know how lonely he is alone."
"The moon is full during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he is alone outside. How desolate and pitiful it is."
"Dad, please help my husband and ask him to come back as soon as possible..."
