After hearing her sister's question, Tang Shujing's smile faltered.
Facing her sister's sincere gaze, she hesitated for a moment, handed over the letter in her little hand, and said, "No, sister, you can read it yourself."
Tang Shuwan took the letter gently, unfolded it slowly, and smoothed out the wrinkles on the paper. From the first line, it seemed that she was actually very anxious.
The front hall fell silent.
Tang Shujing's expression was slightly unnatural.
Tang Ju and Mrs. Chen planned to wait for Tang Shuwan to read it before asking. They also wanted to know about Su Xian's situation.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Tang Shuwan held the letter paper with both hands, seemingly reading it word by word, but in fact, she scanned the letters carefully to see if the word "Su Xian" appeared between the lines.
She was really worried about Su Xian's safety.
The series of events that Su Xian encountered this time were all because of her. More than ten days ago, Su Xiancai helped Tang Ju solve the big trouble of the "City Wall Murder Case".
The Tang family didn't talk about repaying their kindness, at least they couldn't harm Su Xian!
Finally, Tang Shuwan saw the word "Su Xian" at the end of the letter. There was no mention of reward, only a compliment from Princess Lanling.
Seeing this, her hanging heart finally relaxed.
He quickly scanned the words at the end of the letter, then folded the letter paper, raised his eyes and glanced at his sister Tang Shujing, meaning:
"When you followed your faith just now, why didn't you read this paragraph?"
The unnatural look on Tang Shujing Guazi's face became more intense, and she thought to herself: "It sounds better for the princess to praise him than to praise me. I don't want to think about anything related to him."
""
After the two sisters made eye contact, Tang Ju hurriedly asked:
"How is it? How is nephew Su Xian?"
"Dad, please don't worry, Brother Shi, he is fine. Her Royal Highness the Princess praised Brother Shi greatly in the letter!" Tang Shuwan handed the letter to Tang Ju with a smile.
Tang Ju unfolded it to look at it, and Mrs. Chen also came over. After reading ten lines at a glance, Tang Ju said with a smile, stroking his hands:
"It's so good, it's so good!"
"Nephew Su Xian has already made a great contribution to rescuing the princess, and now he has added the great contribution of 'capturing the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom'! Her Highness the Princess's reward to Nephew Su is probably even greater than Jing'er's reward."
""
aside.
Tang Shujing's face gradually became ugly.
The current situation is as if she has become an "orphan", while Su Xian has become Tang Ju's biological son.
At this time, Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "It seems that Nephew Su Xian is about to become famous!"
Tang Shujing's face looked a little sad again.
But it wasn’t over yet, sister Tang Shuwan smiled again:
"My brother has made two great contributions. I wonder how Her Royal Highness will reward my brother?"
"Will you be given an official position?"
""
After hearing this, Tang Shujing looked at her sister Tang Shuwan eagerly and wanted to cry.
It was she who, regardless of how late it was, left her parents and sister in the front hall, waiting for the news of Princess Lanling's reward.
But in the end, they started discussing Su Xian and forgot about her as the real owner.
Tang Shujing suddenly felt sad, like an orphan abandoned by her family.
At this time, Tang Ju shook his head and said:
"The princess gives you an official position? It's easier said than done, it's hard!"
"Since Her Majesty the Queen ascended the throne, she has clearly stipulated that all officials in the imperial court must pass the imperial examination, and those who have not obtained merit and fame are not allowed to enter the imperial court as officials!"
"Although Nephew Su Xian has made two great contributions, he is now just a county student and apprentice. He has not participated in the imperial examination and has no fame. How can he be an official?"
"Besides, it's not easy to get fame!"
"I think I studied hard for ten years in Hanchuang, and finally got a 'Second Ranking Scholar'. Nephew Su Xian, he is just afraid."
"Her Highness the Princess's rewards to him are, at most, gold and silver property, fields and houses, real estate, servants and maids, etc., nothing more than these."
""
After hearing this, Tang Shujing's eyes suddenly lit up, her tall body slowly straightened up again, and she said excitedly: "Yes! What daddy said makes sense!"
Tang Shuwan was deep in thought and said nothing.
Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "Even if you can't be an official, it would be good to reward you with more gold and silver."
Tang Ju, who was shaking his head, suddenly turned his head and glared at Mrs. Chen, scolding sternly:
"Female people, what do you know? It is true that a thousand pieces of gold cannot buy a small county magistrate! Being an official, no matter how small, is worth a thousand pieces of gold!"
"You are just an official fan!"
Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at Tang Ju, and then said calmly: "In that case, just be your little official and your salary will be halved from now on!"
Tang Ju's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.
When he was about to say something, a maid suddenly came in, handed a letter with both hands, and said: "There is news from Yingzhou again."
The family of four suddenly fell into a daze.
Tang Shuwan was the first to react and slowly and eagerly took the letter in her hand.
After waving away the maid, she took out the letter and read it word by word.
Tang Ju, Mrs. Chen, and Tang Shujing were all staring at her.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess will reward my brother five hundred taels of gold, five thousand taels of silver, numerous silks, fields and houses, etc." After a while, Tang Shujing said slowly.
Tang Ju nodded and said with a smile: "It's just as I expected!"
Mrs. Chen's eyes were filled with stars: "Five hundred taels of gold! Five thousand taels of silver!"
Tang Shujing curled her lips. She seemed indifferent on the surface, but she was very hurt in her heart. She thought to herself: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu His reward is indeed more than mine, much more."
"Also, Your Royal Highness the Princess is your brother." Tang Shuwan raised her eyes and looked at Tang Ju, her eyes were strange, and her excitement was mixed with a trace of unbearable.
Tang Ju urged: "What else is there to reward?"
"Her Royal Highness the Princess also rewarded my brother for being a Jinshi!" Tang Shuwan said slowly.
"Jinshi Jinshi" Tang Ju was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe it. It took a long time before he pronounced the word "Ji Di".
I think Tang Ju Hanchuang studied hard for ten years before he got a "Second Ranking Jinshi"!
But Su Xian, even before taking the imperial examination, was rewarded by the princess with the title of "Jinshi"!
Being a Jinshi is equivalent to "Jinshi on the first list".
And Tang Jucai is only a second-ranked person
Tang Shuwan glanced at her father, muttered for a long time, and finally said:
“There’s more to come”
"There's more!" Tang Ju's eyes were as big as copper bells, and he shouted loudly: "If there's anything else, tell me quickly!"
"Her Royal Highness the Princess also bestowed upon the elder brother the official position of 'Xibu Jijiu', starting from the seventh rank."
Tang Shuwan said softly.
Tang Ju's whole body froze leisurely, and he almost fell back, muttering in his mouth: "Xibu sacrifice wine, from the seventh grade, Xibu sacrifice wine, from the seventh grade"
Although he passed the "Second Ranking Jinshi" exam, he spent a lot of time and energy and finally got a small official position as "Magistrate of Le Shou County".
Leshou County is a middle county, and the rank of the county magistrate is from the seventh rank.
That's right, Su Xian's Xibu sacrificial wine was of the same grade as Tang Ju's county magistrate, both from the seventh grade!
It took Tang Ju decades to pass the Jinshi examination, and it took another two or three years to become a county magistrate.
As for Su Xian, almost overnight, he had gone through the decades-long journey of Tang Ju, directly passed the imperial examination, and then directly obtained a seventh-grade official position.
Tang Ju felt that he had lived like a dog for the past few decades!
Ashamed!
