Wang Qin'er thought very simply. She had a falling out with her aunt, and her father had always preferred her aunt, so he would definitely not be willing to help her as a concubine anymore.
Wang Qin'er has been sensitive since she was little. If someone looks at her, she can think of four, five, six, seven or eight possibilities.
But she had never thought that now that she was in the capital, Wang Jin had not publicly expressed his disapproval of her, so how could he really ignore her?
Moreover, Dong Yan was not one of those people who rose to power through nepotism. He had real talent and knowledge, and there was nothing wrong with being promoted in the normal way as a minister who had passed the scientific examination.
At most, Wang Jin just made it a convenience and helped him arrange errands earlier.
Not long after, Dong Yan's appointment letter came out.
Dong Yan entered the Ministry of Rites and was appointed Yuanwailang, ranking sixth grade.
He was promoted one level higher than the previous county magistrate, but because he was a Beijing official, he was actually two levels higher than the local sixth grade.
When Wang Qin'er learned that there was already a letter of appointment, he completely gave up his calculations. As long as he could stay in the capital, there would be many opportunities for promotion in the future.
Wang Qin'er herself followed her father step by step from a small place. She looked down on those small places. When she accompanied Dong Yan outside, she always felt that the ladies and ladies there were dressed in a rustic manner and had little knowledge.
Now that she could finally return to the capital, Dong Yan became a capital official, so she no longer had to worry about it.
To put it bluntly, he just couldn’t bear the wealth of the capital.
Dong Yan is now in the sixth rank, and the official salary is not bad, and Dong Fang has also accumulated some wealth in the past few years. Now that this job is settled, he is thinking about buying a house in the capital.
Although the official position from the sixth rank is not high, he is confident that he will be able to rise step by step in the future.
It's just that I don't have a lot of money now, so don't even think about buying a house in the inner city. It's better to go to the outer city to check it out.
A three-bedroom house in an outer city costs several thousand taels.
Wang Qin'er didn't have many things as a dowry. He had land and a shop, but he didn't have a house.
She heard that Xie Rongzhao had a house in the inner city and an outer city when he was married. Now it should be idle and unoccupied, right?
Wang Qin'er rolled his eyes and thought about how to take advantage.
"Husband, how about I ask those friends to see if they have a house they are willing to sell? With such a knowledgeable person, we can live comfortably."
Dong Yan shook his head: "Those you mentioned are all powerful people. They must have houses in the inner city. Even if they are in the outer city, they should not be far from the ground. We should not be able to afford them, so don't waste our efforts."
Wang Qin'er was anxious: "Why are all your efforts in vain? What if someone wants to exchange it for cash?"
Dong Yan still disagreed: "I have already asked the dental clinic to handle this matter. You should not say any more."
Wang Qin'er was so angry that she wanted to punch him.
Why is this person so rigid in his mind?
Wang Qin'er gritted his teeth and still wanted to try his luck.
However, Xie Rongzhao didn't see any visitors because she was in confinement, and Zhao Ying and Wang Yinuo were both figures she couldn't match, so they ignored her at all.
The remaining few friends have similar family backgrounds to hers, but they are basically concubines. Who has a house?
To be honest, the dowry that Wang Qin'er received when she got married was already too much for a concubine.
The concubines of many families were sent to other people's houses by their mistresses to be concubines. Not to mention the dowry, it would be nice to be given a few hundred taels of silver notes.
And Wang Qin'er can marry a young talent, own land and shop, so what else can he be dissatisfied with?
But Wang Qin'er just felt that her aunt looked down on her, and she always felt that her aunt was reluctant to prepare a dowry for her.
Wang Qin'er turned around and found nothing. She secretly complained that Xie Rongzhao had not given birth to children earlier and later. Why was he sitting up now?
This person's brain circuit is also very strange.
In the end, Dong Yan bought a house in the outer city. When it came to the house, Dong Yan was interested in a slightly larger second-entry house, but Wang Qin'er disagreed.
After all, she still has the temperament of an official lady. She thinks that if she lives in such a house, how will she entertain guests and socialize with many noble ladies in the future?
Wang Qin'er took out a thousand taels of silver himself and insisted on buying the first Sanjin house he saw.
Dong Yan couldn't defeat her. He said he didn't have enough money, but Wang Qin'er immediately took out the money. What else could he say?
Then buy it.
In this way, Wang Qin'er felt that her mood was much smoother.
The third-level house is actually not that big, and there are not so many cross-courtyards. There is a huge difference between the large third-level house and the small third-level house. It can even be divided into another house.
Xie Rongzhao is enjoying her confinement at home. The happiest thing every day is listening to her family or friends tell her some gossip about Beijing.
Liu Ruolan brought bird's nests over that day, and then talked with her in the room.
"I see that Tuantuan has gained a lot of weight. This kid is really different every day."
"Well, I think he's gained weight too. This kid may have eaten."
After Xie Rongzhao only fed him a few meals, the wet nurse came to feed him.
Xie Rongzhao didn't argue with this. Looking at such a little baby every day, he felt very full in his heart.
"Wang Qin'er has moved to the outer city. I hope I won't bother you all the time in the future."
"Huh? Master Dong's errand has been decided?"
"It's settled. Your uncle Wang told your mother-in-law personally. You don't know about your father yet? He agreed immediately, and was later assigned to the Ministry of Etiquette."
Xie Rongzhao had no impression of Dong Yan, and he only had a quick glance at him at first.
"Just settle down and save Wang Qin'er from jumping around again."
"That's right! This Wang Qin'er has been acting like a grasshopper since she returned to Beijing. I didn't find her annoying before, but now the more I see her, the more I dislike her. This person's heart is evil, and you won't have any contact with her in the future. In the early years, it was because of the Wang family's reputation that you had to deal with it for a while if you didn't want to. Now that she has fallen out with your aunt, there is no need to pamper her anymore. "
"I know, Auntie."
After Liu Ruolan ate a bowl of bird's nest with Xie Rongzhao, she whispered: "Do you still remember Wang Ximeng?"
Xie Rongzhao's heart skipped a beat. Did this man get in front of his mother-in-law?
"Well, why did Aniang suddenly mention her?"
When Liu Ruolan mentioned her, she was in a very good mood: "That stupid woman who talks nonsense! I was still thinking about your bracelet at the beginning. The most lively place in the capital in the past two days was the beauty salon she and the Zheng family jointly owned. "
Xie Rongzhao immediately became energetic. Is this a powerful person taking action?
"It was said that after a few ladies used her stuff, their skin showed signs of ulceration, which frightened people. They went to the shop and even smashed it."
Xie Rongzhao's eyes lit up: "Why is she so powerful? Aren't she afraid of the Zheng family behind her?" (End of Chapter)
