267: Schadenfreude
The more Xue Ji thought about it, the more angry he became, he got up from his chair and cried and said, "I don't care, if Wenyuan Pavilion can't get in, I'll cry outside." Our Daning Dynasty rules the world with pure filial piety, I don't believe it, the Holy Lord will ignore it when he hears my old woman crying. ”
Nalan Jinxiu had no doubt that Xue Ji could do what he said, if she really let her make trouble at the palace gate, she would definitely damage the reputation of the third brother, and she would be pointed at if she didn't do it. She put the teacup on the table, not lightly or heavily, but it was enough to quiet the crying and noisy Xue Jishi.
"Brother and sister, I don't know what position your husband has?" Nalan Jinxiu asked slowly while holding the eldest sister-in-law's shelf.
Wu Yaning is the daughter-in-law personally chosen by Master Xue, although there are no rich and noble people in the family, but she is also from a scholarly family. Although she was a concubine, she had a hard time when she was in her mother's house, but she had always been gentle and humble, and after entering the Xue family, she was pinched by her mother-in-law everywhere, and she looked a little decadent and cold between her eyebrows and eyes.
"Fu Jun is currently the editor of the Hanlin Academy. ”
This answer made Nalan Jinxiu a little surprised, just Xue Ji's performance, she thought that this Xue Chang was most likely a gentleman, but she didn't think that she could serve in the Hanlin Academy now.
"Hanlin Courtyard is a noble place, and if you stay up for a while, you must make a difference. She still borrowed Xue Ji's words.
"Sister-in-law, my husband has been in the Hanlin Academy for many years, but he hasn't changed......"
Wu Yaning said this, Nalan Jinxiu already had a mirror in her heart. This Xue family has been scholarly for generations, and has also been a political envoy, so he naturally hopes to go further. Xue Chang should not be as old as the third brother, since Wu Yaning said that he has survived for many years, it proves that after he was in high school, he must have been directly assigned to the Hanlin Academy.
Serving in the Hanlin Academy is both accumulation and precipitation, and if you have been there for a long time, if you want to go further, you will either be transferred to another position, or you will be promoted at the end of the term.
To put it bluntly, the Hanlin Academy is a place of low power. The seedlings that were put there were all seedlings that could be cultivated, and the third brother had done editing in the Hanlin Academy, but he was soon transferred to Dali Temple. When the editing period like Xue Chang expires, he should also be given a bachelor's position as a waiter. After several years and still not changing, I think I either offended the people above, or I don't plan to resettle.
The officials of the Ning Dynasty were like a small system, they were small groups connected by blood relatives. Although the Xue family taught their children to study, the officialdom has been going downhill, and now, finally there is an old man in the grandfather's family, and they naturally want to rise to the occasion.
Xue Chang's qualifications have arrived, and whether he can be promoted or not is completely the above sentence. If you can slowly rise step by step in the Hallym Academy, you will one day survive to the Hallym Master until you enter the cabinet. If there is an elder in a family, it will definitely be a strong stroke, but it is amazing.
Wu Yaning saw that Nalan Jinxiu was deep in thought, and she didn't want to speak anymore, but when she thought of her husband's faceless appearance all day long, and then thought of her own situation, she inexplicably gained more courage.
She bowed to Nalan Jinxiu in a proper manner, and said, "I'm just a backyard woman with no foresight, but I really feel sorry for my husband." It was not easy for him to take the test all the way, and he finally survived to where he is today, but he didn't want to be stagnant. I beg my sister-in-law to have mercy on me, I can't bear to see my husband suffering, and I will hand over a word to Ji Ge Lao!"
Nalan Jinxiu felt that Wu Yaning was a very shrewd person, and she endured her mother-in-law because of filial piety, and she seemed to have arrogance in her bones, and she begged in such a low voice for her husband and the Xue family.
If she can help, she will definitely help, but unfortunately, she can't undertake this kind of thing for the third brother. If it happens, it's okay, if it doesn't work, she promises to convey it on her behalf, and the ending is not as people want, with Xue Ji's temperament, she will definitely go to the third brother to make trouble, won't it make people see a joke when the time comes?
Wu Yaning saw that she was shaken, so she simply knelt on the ground directly, and said earnestly: "Sister-in-law, if my husband is an uncompetitive person, I will definitely not come to the door today." As long as my sister-in-law informs the elder of the pavilion, whether it is successful or not, we will never be entangled again. If we are fortunate enough to be able to do it, our Xue family will be grateful for kindness, and do our part for the prosperity of the elder and the Ji family. ”
This is very clear, as long as the third brother is willing to help, the Xue family is willing to follow. Nalan Jinxiu gestured auspicious with her eyes, helped Wu Yaning up, she sighed slightly, and said gently: "We are all backyard women, and we can't interfere with what my husband does." ”
"My husband is a scholar, and he has a very upright temperament and is unwilling to ask for help, so I have to come to the door. Wu Yaning explained.
"There is a way to be an official, this can't be involved in nepotism in the backyard, if Brother Chang really wants to, he naturally knows how to deal with this matter. "Nalan Jinxiu's meaning is very simple, if Xue Chang is really frank, he should go directly to the third brother to pay his respects. Could it be that he Xue Chang can be promoted, and he still has to point to the dignified cabinet elders and deign to take the initiative to help?
Wu Yaning knew that her trip was in vain, and things had to go back to square one, so she still had to find a way to persuade her husband. However, it can't be said that she came here for nothing, at least she now knows that Ji Ge's old lady is a smart woman.
As long as she doesn't spit out to help lobby, it will naturally not involve her relatives. In the final analysis, the difference between the identities of her husband and Ji Ge Lao is 108,000 miles, and if she can only do business, the chance of success will become very low. However, Ji Ge always has such a lady to guard the inner house, even if he can't help, he will definitely not hold back. Therefore, the ship is naturally more stable.
"It's the first time for my aunt and siblings, so it's better to stay and have lunch together. Nalan Jinxiu was originally a polite sentence, but it was actually a hint that they should go, but who knew that Xue Ji's family really wanted to stay and eat together, no matter how Wu Yaning dissuaded him, he didn't listen.
"I haven't eaten the food of the second-grade master in my life, so my own nephew has become a weapon, so that I can be an aunt for a long time. ”
Nalan Jinxiu really didn't want to hear her say this again, so she just casually said that she was going to prepare a meal, and let Ji Xiang Ruyi settle them first. Wu Yaning couldn't resist her mother-in-law in the end, so she could only look at Nalan Jinxiu with an apologetic face, and then went to the side room with Xue Ji to drink tea.
"What does Madame do to them, I think they don't seem to be good, after a while, the third master will come back, in case they are entangled, how can it be good?" Jixiang was a little worried, she saw that Xue Ji was not a good master.
"What can I do? You can see it, and you can't get rid of it. I'm new to the door, and I can't let her lose her reputation. Nalan Jinxiu was helpless, rubbing her eyebrows tiredly, she was thinking, her grandmother has always presided over the feed, if she encounters such a thing, how will her old man deal with it.
Thinking of this, his mind suddenly became much clearer, and since she couldn't find a solution, he went to his grandmother. Her eyebrows and eyes suddenly stretched, and she said to Ji Xiang: "You go to your grandmother's yard in person, explain the ins and outs of this matter to your grandmother, and ask her what the old man should do." ”
Jixiang went in a hurry, but only brought back one sentence, Mrs. Ji said: "Go back and tell Jin'er that you can encounter any situation as a housewife, it is useless to ask others, and all the pros and cons have to be weighed by yourself." ”
Nalan Jinxiu knew that her grandmother was not going to care about her, but she was a human being for two lives, and she had no experience in these things in the inner house. After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to use the stupidest method, which was to stay up with Xue Ji's all the time, and she didn't believe that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could still live in her mansion for a long time.
"Xue Ji's family is spending here, just to see the third brother. The third brother has a lot of opportunities, and he doesn't know when he will be able to come back, so you can serve with water and tea, and have a hearty lunch, don't let her pick it. If she comes to me again, you will say that I have a wind and a headache. ”
Nalan Jinxiu has exhausted her patience today, she returned to the bedroom to be a female celebrity, and lunch was also used in the bedroom. The weather was hot, and she was not very happy, so she only used a small half bowl of rice and a little green vegetables, and as for the soup and meat, she didn't move a bite.
Xue Ji's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been staying in the house, and they finally can't stay up until dinner. The two of them had come here without the help of Master Xue and Xue Chang today, and if they didn't go back at night, they would be discovered. They wanted to see Nalan Jinxiu again, but the maids said that their wife was sick.
I was fine when I talked to them just now, but I got sick in a blink of an eye, which is obviously just making excuses and not wanting to see them. Xue Ji is a fiery temper, and he is going to make a big noise right now.
Wu Yaning is much smarter than Xue Ji's in the end. She just found that Nalan Jinxiu's complexion was not good, and she didn't know if it was because she was tired during the wedding or for some other reason, she always felt like she was recovering from a serious illness.
Although she also knows that people avoid it, if they make a big noise in other people's houses and make the mother of the house angry, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not going to have a reputation as wicked people.
Besides, no one in the entire Jinling City knows that this county lord is the old man of Ji Ge who has come all the way to marry him, and he must be waiting like a jewel. If this makes people unhappy, and when the time comes, some pillow wind will blow, then her husband's future will really be unsettled. Out of many considerations, she finally persuaded Xue Ji and took her mother-in-law back to the house.
As soon as the two of them left, the rumors of the Ji Mansion came out. As soon as Aunt Su heard these words from her subordinates, she covered her lips and smiled for a long time, lest the world be chaotic and said: "I have learned Xue Ji's kung fu earlier, whoever is entangled by her, even if he does not die, he will have to fade his skin, and now there is a lively look!"
