There is no shortage of money in the family now, so Su Jing did not leave any money to the family, and the family members were quite in favor of his decision.
On the third day after Su Jing came back, the door of the Su family was also very lively. The governor invited Xiangzhou officials to wait for him to drink at Yueman West Tower.
In addition, greeting cards from two Earls' Mansions have been sent over, first to Earl of Ningyuan, and then to Earl of Changlong's Mansion.
Su Jing looked at these invitations and didn't know which one to answer first. The Earl's Mansion all had titles, and although the nobles had no real power, they couldn't offend them in Xiangzhou.
To be honest, when Su Jing came back, she just wanted to stay at home with her parents every day, and didn't want to go here and there to socialize, but it was impossible not to go.
He called Su Wan and Jiang Yu and wanted their help to see where it would be better to go first.
After the quarrel last time, Jiang Yu and Su Wan finally reconciled, and Jiang Yu moved back to Furong Xiaozhu.
The Su family received a lot of gifts again. There were so many officials in Xiangzhou, big and small, and each family expressed their gratitude. The two Earl's Mansions also sent a lot, especially the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion.
Su Jing showed Su Wan Uncle Ning Yuan's post. It said that the count's daughter had missed her very much since her last birthday party. She wanted Su Jing to bring Su Wan with her.
To be honest, Su Wan didn't want to go, but Su Jing wanted her to accompany him, so she should go with him. Although she didn't like the Earl's Mansion, she would have to deal with him a lot in the future.
Jiang Yu did not bring in his personal emotions, but analyzed it carefully for Su Jing. He knew what Ning Yuanbo's purpose was, it was obvious.
However, if Su Wan wants to do business quietly in Xiangzhou in the future, he cannot offend them for the time being.
"Basically speaking, Uncle Ning Yuan is more prominent than Uncle Chang Long. The Earl of Changlong's Mansion is already the last generation of hereditary people, and there is no capable person in the family. I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep this title. It has only been in glory for the last twenty years. Ning Yuan My uncle's fathers have made some contributions to the court, so the Holy Emperor is happy and has retained their titles. If that's the case, we should go to Earl Ningyuan's Mansion first."
Having said that, Su Wan remembers Mrs. Ning Yuanbo's ridicule to her. She looked down on people before, but now she is fawning over her. Is she really embarrassed?
She just wanted her eldest brother to go to Earl Changlong's Mansion first.
"Brother, you go to Earl Changlong's Mansion first. Their posts arrive first. Uncle Changlong is older, so he should see them first."
Since they intend to curry favor, they can meet anyone first, and as long as Uncle Chang Long is still an earl, aren't they equals?
"Is this really good? If we follow what A Yu said." Su Jing hesitated.
Jiang Yu knew that this little girl had a grudge, so he followed her thoughts and changed his tone to Su Jing:
"What Wan Wan said is not unreasonable. They are all earls. As long as they are still in this position, they are all equal. You can go to the Earl of Changlong's Mansion first."
Su Jing nodded. Since Jiang Yu said so, let's do it.
As for the Xiangzhou officials, they were left until the end, and they could only be arranged in this way according to their status.
Only Uncle Ning Yuan invited Su Wan to go with him, but she did not go to the Earl of Changlong Mansion.
Su Jing wrote a reply and went to Earl Changlong's Mansion the next day. This was something Changlong Bo didn't expect. He was in urgent need of getting to know the officials in the court. Su Jing was very likely to become a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he worked hard to get the title. , pull off an old face to please.
There were several concubines in the family, and he introduced them to Su Jing one by one. Although their status may not be worthy of the position of their head wives, it is not impossible if they fall in love with them. In short, as long as they become the number one scholar , then he would go around the court, make some meritorious deeds and say a few nice words to them, and the title would be saved.
Su Jing was a first-class gentleman. When facing several ladies, she always avoided looking at her and did not dare to cross the rules. The ladies dressed up in their own way, but none of them was favored by the number one scholar.
The countess said bluntly that her daughter could not forget the first scholar she saw in the street and missed him like crazy.
Su Jing didn't know how to answer such explicit words.
He also bluntly said that he did not want to marry now. The Holy Spirit asked him to go to Xuanhe River to control the water. The conditions there were difficult and ordinary people could not bear it.
Chang Longbo thought that Su Jing would be working in the Hanlin Academy, but he didn't expect that it was the capital's water order.
However, it is better to make a bet than to be empty-handed. Anyway, he has many daughters. If he wins the bet, he will be his son-in-law. His title is as stable as a rock.
He signaled his daughters to express their opinions and said that they could endure hardship.
They were all concubines and couldn't help themselves. When they heard that it was Xuanhe, they all backed down. Although the life in the Earl's Mansion was not very rich, at least they had no worries about food and drink, and no need to endure hardship.
They were all reluctant. Su Jing was on pins and needles at Earl Changlong's Mansion. No matter how good his temper was, he was a little irritable.
What does it mean to keep giving him women?
After lunch, Su Jing immediately said she was leaving, and Chang Longbo couldn't even stay.
It was really terrible to go back with a dark face. It was just like this all the time in Kyoto. Eight hundred times a day, all the people I met by chance were young ladies from aristocratic families and wealthy officials.
As a result, it was still the same when he returned to Xiangzhou. Many people still wanted him to be their husband.
Su Jing told Su Wan about the disaster at Earl Changlong's Mansion. Su Wan almost laughed to death when he saw the resentment on his eldest brother's face.
The third, fourth, and fifth brothers were all there, and they were all very happy after hearing this, laughing at him for his good fortune.
"Brother, you really don't like anyone?"
After all, Su Jing was already twenty-two years old and it was time to get married. If she went to Xuanhe to study for a few years, she would have no chance to get to know the girl.
Su Jing shook her head:
"They don't really like me. When they heard that I was Du Shui Ling, I could see the disgust in their eyes. Which girl would want to marry a husband who takes her through hardships?"
"That's because they are short-sighted. Brother, you will be a hero in Xuanhe flood control in the future. It will only be their loss if they dislike you."
Su Yun expressed angrily that he dared to dislike his elder brother.
"Even if we can't share the hardships, why do we only want to share the joys?" Su Chen also hoped that his future sister-in-law would not be a vulgar person.
Su Jing was scared anyway, so he asked Su Wan if there was any young lady waiting to be married in Earl Ningyuan's Mansion, so that he could be mentally prepared in advance.
Su Wan nodded and joked:
"Uncle Ning Yuan has several unmarried daughters, and among them there is also a legitimate young lady waiting to be married. I have met the eldest lady, and she is also beautiful and dignified. Brother, you might as well get to know her. What if you two fall in love?"
"Yes, brother, parents are still waiting to have their grandson." Su Yun followed suit.
Su Jing waved her hands quickly:
"If the flood problem in Xuanhe River is not eliminated, I will not be able to rest assured."
He is really a good official who works hard for the country and the people, which is a good thing for the country. For the Yu family, this kind of thinking is not good.
