Chapter Eighty-Six: Sun Henian's Arrangement

Night, Mrs. Liu's room.

Sun Henian was sitting precariously, holding a book in his hand.

In the dark corner, Mrs. Liu had just taken off her makeup and sat there with her hair scattered. She gritted her teeth fiercely, and two tendons on her cheeks jumped suddenly.

But no matter how hard she tried, her flabby skin still couldn't stretch. The second lady of Sun Fu, who was brightly dressed during the day, has now completely become a middle-aged "woman" girl.

Sun Henian glanced at his wife from the corner of his eyes and found that his wife was much older, and the corners of her eyes were wrinkled. A face that was once bright and ruddy has also turned into an unhealthy pale complexion due to the washing of time and the excessive use of gouache.

His wife was playing with a whisk in her hand, and she didn't know if it was intentional, so Mrs. Liu subconsciously ripped off the yak tail one by one.

Sun Henian put down the book and asked, "Madam, is Yue'er better over there?" ”

"What else, listening to the maid's report, Brother Yue'er cried a few times." Mrs. Liu's eyes were red, her fingers were forceful, and a white yak tail flashed in the candlelight, and then disappeared into the darkness.

"This rebel, I can't stand a little setback, what kind of climate can I become in the future." Sun Henian was furious in his heart, and put the book on the table heavily: "A loving mother is a loser, and you spoil him too much on weekdays." ”

Mrs. Liu's eyes were red, and a tear fell: "I am such a son, and my father liked him the most when he was alive." ”

Hearing his wife mention his deceased father-in-law, former Huguang Governor Liu Daxia, Sun Henian couldn't say anything. He was able to do it in the first branch of the household, and his wife's mother's family contributed a lot, and invisibly, he always felt that he owed the Liu family a favor. This is probably the reason why Mrs. Liu is unusually domineering at home, but women and villains are difficult to raise. If it is near, it is not inferior, and if it is far away, it is resentful.

"Who called him unsatisfactory in this subject, compared to a side child. Yue'er is also a little arrogant on weekdays, and he should suffer this setback, which will be good for him in the future. Sun Henian doesn't want to dwell on this matter, as long as his son can show off his talents, he will become famous. He came to Jinan this time to shoulder the heavy responsibility entrusted by Yang Ge Lao, if he can successfully raise enough expenses for the Son of Heaven to sacrifice prisoners, maybe he will be promoted again, and if he can't do it, he can be a household servant. It is also a very glorious thing to retire in the future.

"I've already asked someone to inquire, and Brother Yue was able to get the head of the case this time." Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth and said word by word: "Brother Yue'er's volume is well written, and it is also the first among all Shandong schoolchildren. It's a pity that Sun Dan's article stole the limelight from Brother Yue. I heard people say that Wang Yuanzheng likes gorgeous words, and Brother Yue'er's articles are full of flowers, which are first-class and good, which is in line with Lord Wang's spleen and stomach. Sun Dan didn't know where to hear this, and he also learned to write like that. In addition, he stays in the same school with Brother Yue'er every day on weekdays, and it is also more convenient to imitate Brother Yue'er. When reviewing the manuscript, Wang Yuanzheng first read Sun Dan's article, and then read what Brother Yue wrote, so he didn't feel anything new. As a result, Brother Yue's ranking is naturally not high. ”

Mrs. Liu's teeth "chattered" for a while, and she gritted her teeth and said: "This Sun Dan is scheming and good-looking, I used to underestimate him." I knew I would have ...... in the early hours of that day."

"Just what?" Sun Henian glanced at Mrs. Liu again, and said slowly: "It turns out that what Aunt Jing did was instructed by you, and Mrs. did not do this properly." ”

"Something's wrong." Mrs. Liu's voice raised: "It's okay now, the name of Sun Dan is spread all over the city, and they all say that Sun Dan is the first talent of my Sun family and the first talent of Shandong." In the long run, everyone only knows that there is Sun Dan, but they don't know that there is Sun Yue, is it fair to Yue'er? I've read Sun Dan's article, and I don't think it's a big deal, but I can only write a few stories about "lewdness" and thieves, and dog meat can't be feasted. ”

"You also know that Sun Dan is my Sun family." Sun Henian didn't want to argue with his wife, so he said lightly: "Don't forget, you are in charge of the entire Sun family, and everything should be in the interests of the Sun family." I took a look, and the Sun family is most likely to be admitted to the imperial examination in the future to become officials, Sun Yue and Sun Dan. Isn't such a talent worthy of your kindness? Be open-minded and take a long-term view. ”

Sun Henian stood up and slowly paced around the room: "Now that Yue'er is a student of Yang Shen, he just waits for him to be admitted to the Jinshi, and his future is bright." Sun Dan does not want to change his family, although his moral character is noble, it may not be beneficial to his future development. Zhongju, Zhongjinshi, for Sun Dan, may not be a problem. However, after becoming an official, becoming an official is only the first step in his career. If you want to go further and make a difference, many times rely on human favors and relationships, as well as the power of your family. ”

Seeing that his wife was a little puzzled, he explained: "In today's world, if you want to be a big official, you have to go through the doorway. Like Songnian, I was admitted to the Jinshi at the same time as me. But look at what he is doing now, it's not that he has been in the Qingshui Yamen for more than ten years. Now, if you want to transfer to the Ministry of Rites, you have to make money up and down, and it is not appropriate to do it without two or three thousand taels. Sun Dan may be able to be an official in the future, but without the support of his family and his special circumstances, he can only achieve seven grades. Unless he takes the exam for a Jishi or even a champion, he enters the Hanlin Academy.

If you don't have tens of thousands of taels of silver to scatter, you're just an ordinary official. If he wants to make a difference in the future, he has to rely on us. ”

Mrs. Liu's eyes lit up.

Sun Henian knew that Mrs. Liu was from a big family, and he hadn't seen any kind of storms, and he didn't want to say it thoroughly: "I'm not afraid that Sun Dan will take away Yue'er's brilliance, the stronger his ability, the better it will be for Yue'er's future, the family needs such talents, and Yue'er will also need such help to be an official in the future." That's why I didn't hesitate to put Sun Dan's name in my family tree. From now on, he will be my grandson's family. I am the patriarch, and he will naturally listen to what I say. made Yue'er the patriarch, and Sun Dan couldn't help but listen to what he said. ”

Mrs. Liu nodded: "What my husband said is very true, but I am short-sighted. By the way, how are things going in Songnian? I know the expenses of the family best, and there are tens of thousands of taels of income every year, and there are more than 1,000 people in Beijing, Jinan, and Zouping. I heard you say that Jingshi's house is about to be repaired, so where will you find a way to do it for 30,000 taels? ”

Sun Henian: "Don't worry, madam, I recently collected money and grain from the two lakes for the Son of Heaven, and I got a sum of money, which is just right to use." The houses in the capital should be able to be built before the Spring Festival. Now, Sun Hao is going to the capital to take up a post, and Sun Yue and Sun Gui are going to study with Xiao Yang. It seems that our Sun family is going to move to the capital. ”

Mrs. Liu lived with her father in the capital for a long time in her early years, and was used to the prosperous days of the capital. Now I heard Sun Henian say that he was going to move to the capital, and he didn't feel surprised: "Yes, Xiao Yang is busy with affairs, and Brother Yue and they worship under him, so they naturally have to pay attention to the convenience of others." By the way, let's go to the capital, how can Sun Dan arrange it, and put it in his hometown in Shandong? She still refused to let go of Sun Dan.

Sun Henian said with a smile: "Sun Dan refuses to apprentice, and I can't do anything about him." However, he is a son of our Sun family, so he naturally wants to go to Beijing with me. I thought about it, and it was not a way to keep him in the house every day, and I had to find a place to study and prepare for the exam. In this way, isn't Li Meiting in the capital, I heard that he is going to Guozijian to be an errand. Guozijian's article, the "medicine" prescription of Tai Hospital...... Hehe, let Sun Dan go to Guozijian to sign up for study. ”

"The husband is arranged." Mrs. Liu was still a little dissatisfied: "The co-authorship deserves Sun Dan's creation, and there are many talents in the Guozi Prison." In the clear stream of the DPRK and China, many people are from the country. Such connections in hand will also be of great benefit to his future. ”

"Sun Danzi is a child of my Sun family, and his connections are the connections of the Sun family, and they are also the connections of Yue'er."

"It's still the husband who sees the long term." Mrs. Liu said sincerely, she gently "rubbed" her husband's shoulder, and her body suddenly became a little hot. The husband and wife haven't seen each other for almost a year, and yesterday Sun Henian hurried back to Jinan, because of the fatigue of the car, he rested alone in the study. Speaking of which, this is the first time in the past year that the couple has been alone in the same room.

Mrs. Liu is middle-aged, she is at the age of a wolf and a tiger, and her body trembles with excitement at the thought of everything that is about to happen.

"By the way, Sun Dan is better to him there, and he should compare the standards of each room as needed." Sun Henian pondered for a moment: "However, if it is indeed as Madame just said, this man is scheming, but he must strengthen control." ”

"Yes, after I go down, I'll pick a clever little girl and send it over. I heard that Sun Dan has a wife in his hometown who has not formally worshipped, and she is an honest person. Sending such a maid to Sun Dan's room is just to take care of the house for him. Sun Dan is now a serious child of my Sun family, and the monthly monthly points and family belongings are pinched in his hands, even if he has scheming, he can't turn the sky over. Pity...... This kind of obedient and smart little girl is really hard to find! ”

Sun Henian smiled, not wanting to discuss such a dirty matter anymore: "I'm tired, rest early." Early tomorrow morning, I will accompany Xiao Yang and Lord Wang to Caoyun Yamen, and then I have to go to Lunan for a walk. ”

When Mrs. Liu heard this, her body became even hotter, and she was busy serving Sun Henian to bed.

The two of them tossed and turned on the bed, but Sun Henian didn't invite him to come anyway. Looking at the wrinkles on his wife's face, and then at her slightly puffy eyelids and the loose flesh on her body, he suddenly felt a pang of nausea. But his mind had already run to Aunt Jing's side.

Although Aunt Jing's facial features are not very "colorful", her skin is also slightly dark, and her speech is vulgar. But the body is as smooth as satin, and I can't "touch" the slightest fat. They are both middle-aged "women", how can these two be different?

Sensing her husband's abnormality, Mrs. Liu stopped and said gloomily: "If the husband wants to go to Aunt Jing's place, he can go by himself." After speaking, he turned around and left a back to Sun Henian.

Sun Henian sat up from the bed and said solemnly: "But I am also tired, and there are important matters tomorrow." State affairs are important, so I'd better go to the study and sleep. Please forgive me, ma'am. ”

Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth fiercely, and tears quietly flowed out: Slut, Aunt Jing, this slut!
