Chapter 58: Open a shop and make some money
Two days later, the emperor's holy decree promising Xiao Yu'an's appointment to the Beijing government entered the Xiao family.
In front of the Xiao family's mansion, the eunuch read the content of the holy decree in his throat, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, the Hanlin Academy repaired Xiao Yu'an, entered the office at the age of eleven, and Hanlin was honest and dutiful for three years...... Now he is specially allowed to go out of Hanlin, appointed by the Beijing government, and given five houses, hoping that Qing will fulfill his duties in the future and serve the country, and he will admire this. ”
The eunuch read out the content of the decree word by word and put it away, he looked condescendingly at Xiao Yu'an, who was kneeling on the ground to listen to the decree, and handed the decree over.
"Lord Xiao, take the order."
"Minister Xiao Yu'an, thank you Lord Longen." Xiao Yu'an raised his hands above his head and respectfully accepted the holy decree.
After the male protagonist received the holy decree, the Xiao family and his party could stand up.
"Xiao Lao is so blessed, your grandson became the champion at the age of 11, and now he has been promoted to the sixth grade of the Beijing Mansion, how many people have been just a sesame petty official all their lives, so that Sun is really good."
The eunuch said flattering words to Xiao Lao.
"My father-in-law looked at it highly, and I was tired of my father-in-law running this trip, and it was hard work." Xiao Lao first said politely, and then handed the silver money in his hand to the eunuch.
The eunuch excitedly took the money, and left the Xiao Mansion after flattering Xiao Lao for a few more words.
After the eunuch left, Xiao Lao glanced at the holy decree in Xiao Yu'an's hand, and told Xiao Yu'an with the expression on his face. He was quite happy with the result.
"Although the general judgment of the Beijing government is not a big official, and the power is not great, but fortunately, it is able to control the grain transportation of the capital, and it is also a pivotal position.
"Yes." Xiao Yu'an replied.
Now Xiao Yu'an's departure from the Hanlin Academy to serve as the general judge of the Beijing government is a foregone conclusion.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yu'an went to Le'anju, Aunt Hua was sitting in the room making tea, and when she saw Xiao Yu'an coming, she greeted him with a smile.
"Come, sit here." Aunt Hua patted the chair beside her and smiled very gently.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu'an raised his feet and walked over and sat next to Aunt Hua.
"When are you leaving?" Aunt Hua handed a cup of hot tea to Xiao Yu'an and asked.
"Half a month later." Xiao Yu'an took the cup of hot tea.
"In the past, my aunt always thought that as long as I left you in Le'anju and didn't conflict with outsiders, others would not trouble us, but buried your talent, and now I see you as an official, and my aunt knows that my aunt did something wrong in the past."
Aunt Hua is always very gentle when she speaks, and when she says this, she seems to understand Xiao Yu'an's choice now, but Xiao Yu'an can hear the self-blame in her tone.
"Auntie, I know that in the past, you let me stay in Le'anju and not contact outsiders, you were protecting me, but that was not a long-term solution, I couldn't stay in Le'anju for a lifetime, now that I am an official, I also have the ability to protect myself, and I will protect you in the future."
Xiao Yu'an looked at Aunt Hua and expressed his determination to protect Aunt Hua.
Hearing this, Aunt Hua looked at Xiao Yu'an with relief, and tears suddenly fell.
"When my aunt gave birth to you, I was going to bring you to Mrs. to raise you, at that time your father still took my aunt seriously, in order not to let my aunt feel the pain of separation, he raised you by my aunt's side, this raising is more than ten years, your father has forgotten more than ten years, my aunt has not regretted following your father, but when I think of my aunt and you by my side, I have the motivation to live, and now you are also older, you can protect your aunt, and my aunt is happy."
Aunt Hua talked about these things about the past in front of Xiao Yu'an for the first time, and she said proud words on her lips, but in her heart she was really reluctant to let Xiao Yu'an leave her.
This is the first time in more than ten years that Xiao Yuan has left her side.
"Auntie, when I have the ability, I will take you away from the Xiao family."
"It's all stupid, okay, it's not too early, you better go back and rest early!" Aunt Hua wiped away the tears on her face and urged Xiao Yu'an to leave.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu'an left Aunt Hua's residence and returned to the bedroom.
He thought about Aunt Fang Cai's appearance, and couldn't sleep all night.
The next day, Gu Wanchao, who went to the palace to study, learned the news that Xiao Yu'an was appointed as the general judge of the Beijing Mansion, and after the hall was dispersed, she waited for Xiao Yu'an to come out at the palace gate.
"What?" Looking at Gu Wanchao in front of him, Xiao Yu'an was used to her waiting for her at the gate of the palace, so when she came up, she directly asked Gu Wanchao about her purpose.
"I've read the letter you sent the day before yesterday, and I don't want to believe that what the letter says is true for the time being, even if it's really true, with my current ability, I can't do anything."
Gu Wanchao looked up at Xiao Yu'an and said what she thought.
"And what are you going to do?" Xiao Yu'an understands that Gu Wanchao is powerless now, and he was the same three years ago.
"I've thought about it for a few days, and I feel that I can't always rely on you to help me find out the news, I must have my own ability, and if I want to have power, I must first have money."
Gu Wanchao knew that she had too many secrets, she couldn't always rely on Xiao Yu'an to help her find out the truth of everything, she had to make herself strong.
However, she is a daughter, and it is impossible for her to cultivate her own power in a short period of time, so she must find a way to make money.
"So, you want to go into business?" After Xiao Yu'an listened to Gu Wanchao's words, he instantly understood what Gu Wanchao wanted to do.
"Yes, but I'm a daughter's family after all, and it's still a little inappropriate to do something like business, so I want to ask you to partner with me."
Gu Wanchao finally stated his purpose.
She looked at Xiao Yu'an's face and waited for Xiao Yu'an's answer.
Xiao Yu'an looked at the girl in front of him who looked for herself when she had something to do, and teased her when she had nothing to do, and shook her head with a smile.
"Gu Wanchao, if it weren't for the fact that you helped me at the beginning, I should really refuse you."
The implication of this is that because you have helped me, I will not refuse.
Gu Wanchao naturally understood, and she had a smile on her face, "Thank you, I know that good people have good rewards." ”
Gu Wanchao made a joke along with Xiao Yu'an's words, and attributed Xiao Yu'an's unsparing efforts to help him to the fact that he had helped Xiao Yu'an in the first place.
"You should think about what store you want to open first, and then tell me what you want me to do." Xiao Yu'an expressed his attitude.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it in the next few days." Gu Wanchao nodded.
After the goal was achieved, Gu Wanchao went out of the palace gate with him and returned to the mansion separately.
