Zhao Ruxi knew that Gan Lun wanted to do his own ideological work, so he confessed to Qi Xugu and went out with Gan Lun.

When he arrived at the side hall and sat down, Gan Lun said: "You stupid boy, Lord Qi has a heart of love and talent, creating opportunities for you." Otherwise, which Jinshi is an official, doesn't he start from the seventh or eighth grade? ”

Gan Lun broke Qi Xugu's kindness, crumpled it, and analyzed it for Zhao Ruxi.

Zhao Ruxi smiled bitterly.

How could she not know Qi Xugu's intentions? He came today, not only to make her make a meritorious service, but also to be afraid that she would be snatched away, so he sold her personal favor.

"Master, I'm afraid I'm going to let down Lord Qi's kindness." Zhao Ruxi said, "If I can really be admitted to the Jinshi, I want to take advantage of the fact that there is no family drag down now, and go to see the great rivers and mountains of our Dajin." So I want to ask for a release and go to another place to be an official. Please also ask the master to explain to Master Qi for me. ”

"How do you ...... How do you think about going out? Gan Lun was surprised.

But no matter how he persuaded him, Zhao Ruxi was still stubborn.

Gan Lun couldn't do it, so he had to go back to the hall with Zhao Ruxi.

In the hall, Qi Xugu had already passed Zhao Jingli's school examination once, and found that although his arithmetic ability was not as amazing as Zhao Ruxi, he was also very good, and he was thinking about how to place Zhao Jingli.

Although there is no principle of relatives and friends avoiding the nearest relatives in the capital, relatives who are close by blood still try to avoid doing things in the same yamen, so as to avoid the phenomenon of shielding each other and bending the law for personal gain.

If Zhao Ruxi is old and has been in the household department for a long time, he will soon become a young man of the Zhao family, which is nothing. But Zhao Ruxi and Zhao Jingli are the same age, and they entered the household department at the same time, which is not very easy to arrange.

At this time, when he saw Zhao Ruxi and Gan Lun coming in, he couldn't think about it, his eyes looked at Gan Lun, and he wanted to know how he persuaded him. Zhao Ruxi is the most important thing he wants.

Gan Lun smiled bitterly and said bluntly: "Zhiwei said that he wanted to be released. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and they all looked at Zhao Ruxi.

Zhao Jing stood up as the eldest brother and frowned disapprovingly: "Why do you want to be released?" ”

Zhao Ruxi was so dry with Gan Lun just now that he really didn't want to talk to Zhao Jingli again.

She waved her hand and said, "My grandmother, my father, and my master all agreed." I just want to go out and have a look and understand the livelihood of the people below. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

None of the parents objected, what use did they say?

Zhao Ruxi smiled again: "It's just my plan." It's too early to say this, maybe I'm not on the list, and it doesn't make sense to say that. ”

"Bah, baba, children's words, bad spirits." Gan Lun said immediately, and glared at Zhao Ruxi after speaking, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Zhao Ruxi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and quickly admitted his mistake: "Master, I was wrong." ”

Gan Lun looked at Qi Xugu.

Qi Xugu was a little unhappy.

He is a scholar, and he can be Zhao Ruxi's grandfather at a great age. deliberately came to the door in person to give Zhao Ruxi credit and invited Zhao Ruxi to serve in the household department, which can be regarded as an extremely polite corporal. Zhao Ruxi not only did not appreciate it, but also rejected him directly.

He said: "Your parents don't object, and it's hard for us outsiders to say anything." ”

As he spoke, he stood up: "There is still something in my yamen, so I will leave first." ”

Gan Lun also hurriedly stood up and said goodbye.

Zhao Ruxi also knew that he was a little ignorant, and Qi Xugu should be unhappy.

She respectfully escorted the two to the gate, and watched as their carriage drove away from the alley, before turning around.

"If I go to the household department, you won't be able to go." She said to Zhao Jing.

Qi Xugu began to take the school entrance examination for Zhao Jingli, and when he turned around and knew that she refused to be recruited, his face changed, and he didn't mention that Zhao Jingli should go to the household department when he left. If the Zhao Jingli brothers didn't understand the Tao in this, they might not be able to complain about her in their hearts.

Although she wanted to release herself, she didn't deliberately give Zhao Jingli a position, but she didn't want Zhao Jingli to misunderstand herself.

Zhao Jingli did have some complaints in his heart just now. But that complaint quickly dissipated.

Zhao Ruxi has his own ideas, and if he wants to release them, he can't give up his ideas just because he doesn't offend Qi Shangshu, so as to fulfill him, right?

His arithmetic was taught by Zhao Ruxi; Today's opportunity was also given by Zhao Ruxi. How could he have the slightest bad idea?

Mortified!

He had no idea that two close relatives could not be in the same yamen.

Hearing Zhao Ruxi's words, he was stunned for a while before he said with red eyes: "Fifth sister, you ...... You don't have to be like this. ”

Zhao Ruxi hurriedly waved his hand: "No." I originally wanted to release it, I won't release it because of you, and I won't release it because of you, don't think about it. ”

Although she said this, Zhao Jingli was still very guilty, especially the little complaint in his heart just now, which made him feel embarrassed.

"You continue to study arithmetic well, don't be in a hurry. As long as you have the ability, even if you stay in the country, someone will ask you to be an official; If you don't have the ability, you just make up in front of these adults every day, and people don't pay attention to you. Zhao Ruxi said again.

She wasn't sure what Qi Xugu was thinking just now. It really annoyed her, and even Zhao Jingli didn't want to use it; Or wait for a while to subside, and continue to use Zhao Jingli. She didn't know the person Qi Xugu, so she couldn't guess.

"You remember the saying: Opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared." She poured Zhao Jingli another bowl of thick chicken soup.

Zhao Jingli stood there with a stunned expression; Even Zhao Jingan also looked like he had an epiphany.

Zhao Ruxi saw that the two of them were standing there without moving, and she didn't want to go in like this, so she had to interrupt their thoughts and ask, "Do you want to go in and sit again, or go back?" ”

Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jingan came back to their senses.

Zhao Jingli arched his hand: "Thank you Fifth Sister for your support and points today, Jingli has gained a lot." Wait for the nomination of the fifth sister on the gold list, and we will celebrate again. I won't go in today, and you will say goodbye to my grandmother and aunt on our behalf. ”

Zhao Jingan also arched his hand. The two took their leave.

The two of them were silent all the way, and it was not until the gate of the second room that Zhao Jingan said: "Brother, the gap between us and the fifth sister is too far." You say, is she naturally smart? Why can't we catch up? ”

"Talented, there's no doubt about it. But more often than not, she's a transparent person. If you look at the depth and breadth of her problems, let's compare them with her, it's a cloud of difference. Why is there such a gap? If you look at her, she always has a clear goal, a goal, and a goal, that is, to work hard towards that goal, without distractions, no matter how difficult it is, the pace is firm. On the other hand, we are always aimless, and even if we have a purpose, we are prone to half-heartedness, and we are unwilling to put in the effort, so we achieve nothing. Zhao Jing said.
