Chapter 133: Promotion to Official Position
Soon, Shen Baiqing drew the drawing of the horseshoe here, and Su Bowen took a look at it and found that Shen Baiqing did have two brushes.
Shen Baiqing personally took Qiulan to find the blacksmith in the town and asked the blacksmith to make the horseshoe he had studied.
The blacksmith was distressed when he saw the drawing of the horseshoe.
"Mrs. Su, it's not that I don't accept this deal, it's that I've been a blacksmith for more than thirty years, and I've never seen such a job.
If you mess it up, you'll smash my signboard! ”
Knowing that the blacksmith was worried, Shen Baiqing said slowly.
"Don't worry, just do what I say, if something goes wrong, I will bear it, and it has nothing to do with you."
Shen Baiqing's words already showed his attitude, and the blacksmith wanted to say something, but Shen Baiqing had already made it clear that the blacksmith was not good at saying something.
Qiulan accompanied Shen Baiqing back to the ranch, and in the carriage, Qiulan asked puzzledly.
"Second young lady, why are you sure that there will be no problem with the horseshoe you draw?"
Asked by Qiulan, Shen Baiqing smiled.
"When did I say it would work? I didn't say that, I just said that if it doesn't work, I'm just going to take responsibility. ”
There is an essential difference between these two sentences, Shen Baiqing doesn't want Qiulan to misunderstand, let alone others to misunderstand, which in itself is essentially different.
Qiulan seemed to understand what Shen Baiqing meant, but Qiulan still admired Shen Baiqing from the bottom of her heart.
The two returned to the ranch, and a few days later, the blacksmith delivered the made horseshoe to the ranch.
Su Bowen personally led people to start the experiment and found that it was very successful.
Su Bowen returned to the bedroom, Shen Baiqing looked at him with a smile and took the initiative to ask for credit.
"How? Was it a success? ”
Shen Baiqing deliberately asked Qiulan to investigate, and after confirming that it was very successful, she dared to ask for credit in front of Su Bowen, otherwise she would not dare to ask for credit.
Seeing Shen Baiqing like this, Su Bowen's face deepened.
"No one thought that you still have such a ability."
"That's right, I have a lot of skills, but my husband can't easily notice it."
Shen Baiqing was so playful, Su Bowen was suddenly in a good mood.
"The horseshoe you asked the blacksmith to make is indeed very good, it seems that we can send the drawings back to the capital, I think Your Majesty will be very satisfied."
"Okay, then I'll listen to you."
Su Bowen's side soon sent Qiujiang letterhead to the capital.
Beijing, Su Province.
Su Boxing sent the letter from Su Bowen to the study, where Su Zhiyuan was.
Su Zhiyuan read the content of the letter and was overjoyed.
"It's good that the second daughter-in-law has already drawn a new horseshoe, and it has been very successful after using the horses in the pasture."
"Really! It seems that we can hand over to Your Majesty the horseshoe drawings drawn by our younger siblings, and I think Your Majesty will be satisfied. ”
"I'll leave this to you."
"Yes."
After the next morning, Su Boxing personally visited His Majesty and handed over the drawings drawn by Shen Baiqing to His Majesty.
The emperor was so pleased with this that he ordered a large number of new horseshoes to be made.
Soon, the news spread in the capital that the Su family provided His Majesty with a new horseshoe, and for a time the Su family rose and became His Majesty's most satisfied courtier.
A few days earlier, His Majesty issued an order to promote Su Boxing's official position, and the Su family once again became the envy of everyone in the capital.
When Su Boxing returned to Su Mansion that night, the Wang family had already ordered someone to prepare a sumptuous meal, and after the meal, Su Boxing personally went to Su Zhiyuan's study to discuss things with Su Zhiyuan.
Su Boxing could see that he had been promoted to an official position, but his father was obviously not very satisfied.
Su Zhiyuan glanced at Su Boxing, noticed a trace of puzzlement flashing in Su Boxing's eyes, and said.
"Bo Xing, although Your Majesty appreciates you, appreciates our Su family, and is willing to promote your official position, that is Your Majesty's grace, and my Su family must not be arrogant."
"Father, the son knows."
Su Boxing was very respectful, and Su Zhiyuan continued.
"Although your second brother and second brother and sister are doing things for the court, this matter is extremely risky, and it is the honor of the family to do it, and if it is not done, it will be a disaster!"
Su Zhiyuan's words made Su Boxing silent, in the past, he was still looking forward to Su Bowen's career, but now Su Bowen is a businessman, and he is also doing things for the imperial court.
In fact, if you think about it, there are risks in doing things for the court, but their Su family has been officials for several generations, and they are very honest, and doing things for the court is a matter of responsibility.
"Father, now that my son has just been promoted, due to the turmoil at the western border, the big banquet will not be held, but the small banquet will still be held."
"Well, you have a point, then let your mother take care of it.
Also, write a letter to inform your second brother, so that he should not worry, and continue to study horses in the ranch with peace of mind. ”
"Yes."
Su Boxing's letter was successfully delivered to the ranch a day later, and Su Bowen was full of joy after learning that his father and brother had received His Majesty's praise for this matter, and the Su family was even more sensational in the capital.
At the same time, Su Bowen also knows that this is the principle of both prosperity and loss.
Being by the emperor's side and doing things for the emperor is inherently risky, but how can the Su family abandon the people with the world in their hearts?
Shen Baiqing came to the courtyard accompanied by Qiulan, and saw Su Bowen standing alone under the tree and was silent, seeing this, Shen Baiqing came to Su Bowen's expression, his eyes stayed on Su Bowen's body, and said softly.
"Husband, but the latest news has been sent from the capital?"
Shen Baiqing knew that once the drawings of the horseshoe were handed in, His Majesty would be overjoyed, and the Su family would definitely receive no less.
It's just that Shen Baiqing wants to know what the Su family has gotten.
Su Bowen didn't say anything, but handed the letter in his arms to Shen Baiqing, Shen Baiqing washed and read it, and said happily.
"My brother's promotion should be a good thing, so I will order someone to prepare a gift and send it to the capital, which can be regarded as a gesture of affection, what does my husband think?"
"It's all good."
Shen Baiqing understands why Su Bowen is distressed, as the so-called companion is like a tiger, they have performed very well in this matter, but it does not mean that everything can be performed very well, if the Su family did something wrong that day, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In this way, Shen Baiqing said.
"Husband, don't be so restless, even if something happens to the Su family one day, it will be a matter of the future, and there is no hurry to take precautions.
Now that the border is in difficulty, it is the time to employ people, and I think that His Majesty will definitely cherish the children of the family who are loyal to the country. ”
Hearing this, Su Bowen looked at Shen Baiqing with a gentle face.
"What the lady said is very true, it is for the husband to be careful."
Shen Baiqing's words are reasonable, and Su Bowen no longer cares about the gains and losses, just like Shen Baiqing said, even if he is a companion like a tiger, but now is also the time to employ people, and the Su family will not fall into such a situation.
