Chapter 103: Taishi's House Banquet (5)
Xia Yueliang briefly talked about Wu Siming's desire to return to the officialdom.
Shen Jing smiled and said, "What a big deal. My cousin and uncle came from the imperial examination and had once been the governor.
Even if my grandparents and fourth cousin don’t help, it’s not difficult to find an official position in the court, right?”
"It's so light, and the Fengguo official institutions are huge and cumbersome. If the treasury was not full in recent years, I would probably not be able to afford the salary.
I have heard from my father that more than once, Your Majesty is willing to streamline the officials of various government agencies. Do you think it is difficult to ask for an official position at this time?"
"Just that's what I said, are you still taking it seriously? My grandfather is an honest official, but he doesn't even care about his own son-in-law.
Unless your cousin is too proud and has to be a high-ranking official and generous salary, that's another matter."
Xia Yueliang said: "What do you think about your uncle's resignation from office back then?"
"He still wants to be an official, and it is indeed a bit strange to resign.
Unless...uh...unless you have something trouble.
But at that time, my grandfather was still the prime minister of the dynasty. Is there something he can't solve?"
Shen Jing was very smart, but he really couldn't understand why Wu Siming made the decision to resign.
Xia Yueliang said: "I don't know very well, and I can't tell me anything about my uncle and aunt."
Shen Jing looked at Xia Yufang not far away and lowered his voice: "Do you think this matter is related to your aunt?"
"What do you mean?"
Xia Yueliang is no longer surprised by his keenness.
Shen Jing said: "Although I have never met my cousin's aunt before, I have also heard a few comments from the elderly in the Shen family.
They said that although my cousin's aunt was the only daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty, she did not have the arrogance of a noble girl in the capital, and she was very gentle and kind.
Have you been with her for several days, and have you felt her tenderness and kindness?"
Xia Yueliang deliberately said: "People can change. After getting married, women have to learn to be the host of the mother and the host of the gift. How can they be as leisurely as when they were at their parents' home.
Especially after becoming a mother, how many people can continue to be gentle all day long?”
"If you continue to be careless, what else can we say?"
Xia Yueliang smiled and said, "I haven't seen each other for two months, Xiao Shu's cousin is still angry!
Well, I won’t go around the corner. My aunt has a bad temper, but I think she is the real one now.”
"That's why I feel that the resignation of my cousin's uncle must have something to do with her."
He was so smart and was someone he could definitely trust. Xia Yueliang no longer concealed it and briefly said the matter of the Jing family.
Shen Jing said: "Do you suspect there is something wrong with that batch of goods?"
Xia Yueliang shook his head: "What I doubt is not the goods, but the owner of the goods."
Shen Jing pondered for a while and said, "If you want to find out this matter, the most direct way is to let your cousin and cousin speak.
But when I look at the two of them, it is probably not easy to speak, it is better to…”
He spoke his way out in a smaller voice.
Xia Yueliang almost choked by saliva.
Young people today are so brave!
Yan Jingshen wanted to use extraordinary means, and even planned to tie up the Wu brothers and threaten Wu Siming and you, Xia Yufang, to tell the truth.
This method sounds very reckless and has been done a little too much, but it is very consistent with his time traveler's behavior.
May Shen Jing...
Why did an ancient scholar with a strong root have the same idea?
"It doesn't matter if you talk nonsense in front of me, you are not allowed to miss a word from other people."
"Aren't you just afraid that I will tell Jingshu about this!"
Xia Yueliang smiled and said, "It's really a good thing to scream so intimately."
Shen Jing did not want to accept her words and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the envoy behind the scenes should be related to the royal family.
Since Yan Jingshen’s adoptive parents are the victims, let him investigate. Anyway, he is also named Yan, which is much more convenient than us.”
Xia Yueliang smiled and said, "He has only been back to Beijing for a few days, but the royal family has not recognized him. What's the convenience?
Since cousin Xiaoshu already knows about this, why not do it?”
"I knew that people like you never suffer a loss!" Shen Jing said gritting his teeth.
This little girl is obviously not yet ready, but she is even more difficult to deal with than those scheming people.
Xia Yueliang smiled and said, "Who made Xiao Shu's cousin have a wide connection and his identity is not as eye-catching as Yan's depth of field, so he has to be much more convenient to act.
Besides, you have a relationship with the Shoukang Palace, so it is quite convenient to inquire about the privacy of the royal family.”
Shen Jing smiled and said, "I have done everything for others, and I also said that I am not anything from Yan Jingshen?"
Xia Yueliang said: "What's wrong with helping friends? If you were in trouble, I would still have no choice!"
"You said this, but I remember it."
※※※※
The family dinner did not end until dark.
Xia Yufang and Wu Siming returned to Fuhuayuan, washed up and lay on the bed.
Although the two are not old, their energy is far less vigorous than when they were young.
I had been traveling for several days, but I didn’t think anything was there before, but now I felt sore in my back and could not move.
"Si Ming, do you think my father would ask about the matter back then?" Xia Yufang turned over and gently pushed her husband.
Wu Siming drank a few more drinks tonight, and at this time his head was so dizzy that he was almost asleep.
Hearing his wife's question, he didn't even open his eyes and hummed a few times.
Xia Yufang got angry and added some force to her hands.
"I said you are really not in a hurry at all. You can still sleep at this time?!"
Wu Siming tear open his eyelids hard: "Madam, since we have come to the capital, we have to face what we should face.
No matter what, my father-in-law is also your biological father, so I will never really destroy my relatives for justice and give us a way out.”
"Are you satisfied so easily?" Xia Yufang's tears flowed down the corners of her eyes and slid onto the pillow.
"Hey, are you really crying?" Wu Siming was very upset, but had to speak to comfort him.
Xia Yufang choked and said, "Since I entered the Grand Tutor's Mansion, my mind has been very messy.
Si Ming, do you think we shouldn’t come this trip? How great is Yicheng? Although you are unemployed and we don’t have to worry about our comfort in food and clothing, we don’t have to worry so much about it.”
Wu Siming said: "We are already this old, and it is really nothing wrong with being more comfortable.
But if you think about your children more, you can’t let them start to retire at a young age, right?”
He said this countless times in front of Xia Yufang, but the effect was still very good.
"That's right..." Xia Yufang lay down again, and her mood gradually stabilized.
Wu Siming said: "My father-in-law has always been decisive and has been concerned about everyone's face today.
