"If you think so, then you have it."
Ruan Yunluo's all-or-nothing attitude made Xiao Chongjing unhappy.
He didn't understand why his wife, who had always been a virtuous and obedient wife, suddenly became like this.
Is it just because of Xiao Rou?
But she has nothing to do for so many years, isn't it right for him to take a concubine?
How pretentious.
Xiao Chongjing thought so and looked at Ruan Yunluo with growing impatience, "Have you had enough trouble?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"What do you mean you are making trouble?" Xiao Chongjing was unhappy, "You are asking all over the capital to find out whose mistress is like you, who abandons her husband and doesn't even care about the family when she gets angry? I am a grown man, and I work all day long on official duties. Not to mention, after finally returning home, I still have to deal with these trivial matters at home... Ruan Yunluo, I have been patient enough with you, don't push yourself further!"
"It's not that I don't care, it's that I can't control it." Ruan Yunluo said rationally: "Didn't my mother say that I am a waste and not worthy of being a mistress at all?"
"Don't use mother as an excuse! Mother said that when she was so angry at Shuiyun Teahouse." Xiao Chongjing revealed impatiently, "And you have been a mistress for nearly twenty years and have always been fine. How could you suddenly Can’t control it anymore?”
"Can it be the same?" Ruan Yunluo made up his mind and didn't want to take this hot potato. "In the past, you and your mother were away all the time. There were only two children in the house, my second brother and my third sister. The staff was simple. I only had to make sure they had enough food and drink." That’s good. Now that the second brother and the third sister have grown up, and my mother has come back, there is another girl named Xiaorou... In two years, with the addition of the son-in-law, sister-in-law and other relatives, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to resist..."
"My ability is really limited, General, you'd better hire someone else."
"Where am I going to hire someone else?" Xiao Chongjing said.
"Isn't my mother back? Isn't Miss Xiaorou idle in the mansion? Or if the general is so determined, it would be okay to take in two more capable concubines."
"you……"
Xiao Chongjing was speechless and was so angry that he threatened, "Ruan Yunluo, don't regret it!"
"How?"
Ruan Yunluo laughed.
It's just that I got rid of a heavy job with no salary. What is there to regret?
If you continue to work hard for an unworthy person and a home that does not belong to you like in your previous life, then you will regret it.
Not only regretful, but stupid.
…
"Commissioner, please be careful."
Helping the red-faced Yang Yuanwai to perform the red sleeve move, Lu Yitong took advantage of the situation and stuffed the prepared banknotes into his hand.
Yang Yuanwai pinched the banknote and his eyes suddenly became clearer. He finally looked at Lu Yitong and nodded with a smile, "You are very good."
"Thank you for the compliment, member." Lu Yitong quickly bowed his back and thanked him, and then asked expectantly, "Then, about the job vacancy..."
"I will handle it."
Yang Yuanwai patted his chest and immediately agreed.
Anyway, there are so many positions, except for the reserved ones that cannot be moved, and other miscellaneous vacancies, who are they not given to?
Instead of giving positions to people who are clueless and won't do anything, it's better to promote more people who know how to advance and retreat and understand the rules. It's one thing to be able to get a pen. The most important thing is that it will be more comfortable when you serve as an official in the same dynasty in the future.
"By the way, what's your name?" Yang asked with a smile.
"Student Lu Yitong."
"What!" Yang Yuanwai shuddered and woke up immediately, "Say it again!"
"Student...Lu Yitong."
"Are you Lu Yitong?" Yang Yuanwai looked him up and down and shook his head with some pity. Then he threw the banknote to the ground and coldly snorted: "You Lu Yitong, you dare to bribe me! Do you still have the law in your eyes?"
"I……"
"What am I! Since you are a first-time offender, I will not hold you accountable this time. If I find out, you will have another time... Humph!"
Yang Yuanwai snorted coldly, directly opened the curtain and entered the sedan, greased the soles of his feet, and ran faster than a rabbit.
Lu Yitong was left stunned by the roadside, and it took him a long time to finally regain his senses.
His first reaction was why?
Everything is obviously fine, so why does he feel like...what has he offended...when he hears his name?
Xiao Chongjing!
Lu Yitong suddenly realized.
Only then did I understand why Xiao Chongjing suddenly relented and let him go, even saying that he would be able to fulfill his wishes if he had a position.
It turned out that I was waiting here...
That Xiao Chongjing had probably planned to block his Qingyun Road from the beginning.
Then what?
When he has no way to seek an official position, when the rumors about Lingzhao Temple gradually subside, what else will Xiao Chongjing do?
Kill him?
The cold wind blew by, and Lu Yitong shivered.
He picked up the banknotes on the ground with a sullen face, thinking that he really had no way out now.
He must get a position and marry Xiao Qintang.
Otherwise, with Xiao Chongjing's insidious and vengeful character, if he does not have an official position and Xiao Qintang's protection, he may not even be able to save his life in the future...
After thinking about it, the first thing he did when he returned home was to write a letter to Xiao Qintang.
Xiao Qintang was happy the first time he got the letter.
She originally thought that Lu Yitong's sudden letter was because her job search had made progress. When I opened it, I realized that I had thought wrong. It turned out to be a farewell letter.
He said "one parting, two lenient", he wanted to break up with her!
How can this be done!
Xiao Qintang was anxious.
Her reputation was already ruined by what happened at Lingzhao Temple. If she couldn't marry Lu Yitong, who else could she marry?
I'm afraid I can only marry those snobs who want to cling to me...
no!
Xiao Qintang thought so and hurriedly left Haitang Pavilion and went to Sui Feng Garden.
Sui Feng Garden.
Xiao Chongjing walked out of the cold wind and entered the warm room.
Seeing Ruan Yunluo getting a rocking chair from somewhere and enjoying himself while drinking tea and reading a book, he couldn't help but feel sullen and said, "It's so early to burn the earth dragon, you will enjoy it."
"Madam is afraid of the cold."
Aunt Wan was sitting aside peeling chestnuts. When she saw Xiao Chongjing coming in, she quickly stood up and explained to Ruan Yunluo.
"Don't worry, there's no money from Hua Gong."
Ruan Yunluo pinched a chestnut kernel and took a bite. Tasting the sweet and fragrant taste, she narrowed her eyes with satisfaction.
"I didn't say you spent money." Xiao Chongjing became even more angry after hearing this.
Why is this woman saying that he seems to be deducting money from her and not willing to let her spend money?
"Then what's the matter with you?" Ruan Yunluo asked bluntly.
She didn't care about his emotions, she just wanted him to say something quickly and leave quickly after he said it.
Don't be an eyesore or disturb her purity.
"I can't come if it's okay?"
"Of course, feel free to do it."
Ruan Yunluo ignored his search for trouble and focused on reading without paying any attention to him.
Anyway, it's him who's in trouble, and he's the one who can't sit still. Why should she be anxious?
"you……"
Xiao Chongjing took a deep breath and reluctantly took out a stamped payment note, "Go and bring this note to Qin Yu. Ask him to hurry up and go to the official department to get his imperial edict. And the official seal..."
"It's just a note, can't you just find a boy?"
Ruan Yunluo glanced at the figure outside the window and said with a smile.
She didn't expect that Xiao Qintang would come by such a coincidence. The newly-bought official position was still hot when she bumped into him.
Very good, this saves trouble...
