Chapter 557: Keeping the Good Things in Your Hands
Damn it, Qi Sanlang is an American cockroach, right?
How can you jump around like that?!
If she didn't know that Feiniaotai could not become emperor, she would have to ask Liu Manqiang to get a prescription for Qi Sanlang to send away!
"Jin doesn't know."
Of course Jin Hejing didn't know. If he had such great ability, why would he be so busy everywhere???
Seeing her face droop, he recalled the scene of that day and quickly made amends: "I hope Madam Jiang will forgive me. I am really too busy to do anything else. Today I finally found a free time to go to the temporary residence that Qi Sanlang found for that person, but it was already deserted."
Yangyang Noodle House closed, and Lin Zihou, who had failed to meet the young lady he loved, had no time to grieve because he was conscripted into a squad to follow Qi Sanlang. He then had some free time to look for the beggar, but he found that the beggar was gone.
"I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Jin, to help look after this matter. Tomorrow I'm going out with my elders to worship Buddha for over a month. This involves the prince, so Mr. Jin, please don't act rashly. Always prioritize your own safety. Mr. Jin has studied for many years, I think he just lacks some luck in the exams."
The world is bustling with people seeking profit, and all Jin Hejing wants is to enter the official career.
Given Cui Bianxu's official position, although he could not get involved in the matter of submitting the scroll, it was not easy for him to do so, but he could still find a way to get the person into the Dali Temple.
Jin Hejing was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, Madam Jiang. I will leave this matter to me. Madam Jiang, just rest assured and worship the Buddha. I will ensure that the person is kept under close watch!"
With his connections and knowledge, he would probably fail if he continued to take the exam. It was just a matter of following one person. If he could get a small official position and successfully embark on a career in politics, it would definitely be a good deal!
Watching Jin Hejing leave with great confidence, Yingzi couldn't help but whisper, "Auntie, if there's an official position available, why don't you ask for one for Erlang?"
She didn't understand the twists and turns, she just knew that good things should be kept within the family, and good things should naturally be kept within the family.
Jiang Shangxian touched her head and said, "Erlang is not suitable for the Dali Temple. When his martial arts skills improve, Jiulang will find a good place for him."
Even in modern officialdom, connections are still important, let alone in ancient times.
She won't hesitate to promote her own family members.
But given the relationship between Jiang Wangri and Cui Bianxu, it would be a bit conspicuous if they sent him to the Dali Temple.
Cui Bianxu had already informed her that when his brother-in-law's martial arts skills improved, he would ask Wang Mingqian to find a way to get him into the Jinwu Guard.
Didn’t that guy always want to join the Sixteen Guards?
By then, I'm afraid I'll be so happy that I'll be lost.
Yingzi nodded in confusion, then looked eagerly at the gate of the Jinwu Guard, muttering to himself, "Why hasn't the General of the Central Army come out yet? Is he out to poop?"
Jiang Shangxian: .....A new brain means active thinking.
The master and servant waited for a while longer before Wang Mingqian hurried out, having changed out of his official robes. His expression was solemn. "The Tianshui Zhao family came to Chang'an, intending to propose marriage at the Jiangxia Prince's Mansion. However, after their visit, the mansion became heavily guarded. The same thing happened at Zhao Shan's mansion. The Jinwu Guards said that when they passed by the Zhao mansion, the gatekeepers looked unfamiliar. At Jixian Hall, Zhao Shan has also been on sick leave for a full two weeks."
Neither of them spoke for a while. Jiang Shangxian went over these words in his mind three times and was sure that this marriage might not be possible.
She bit her lower lip and thought for a moment before saying, "Can you find a way to meet Zhao Shan?"
Even though she knew that Li Xueyan had probably become the designated candidate for marriage, it had not yet been announced to the world. As a good friend, she could not get over the hurdle in her heart by doing nothing.
Compared with Li Daozon who was born into a military family, although the Tianshui Zhao family was also a military family, they were outsiders after all, and it was somewhat difficult for them to guard the entire Zhao Mansion tightly at once.
She wanted to meet Zhao Shan and ask him everything clearly.
If it's true, it can't be done...
She also wants her friends to have no regrets.
They are not stupid people, so it is not difficult to guess what role Li Xueyan played in Li Daozon's restoration.
Although Wang Mingqian did not expect the war in Songzhou to escalate, it was not difficult for him to guess that Li Xueyan's marriage was probably used as a bargaining chip by her father.
This is very common among clans, and the marriage of children is an exchange and connection of interests.
People like Cui Bianxu are the outliers.
His face was tense, and he glanced down at his black robe. Finally, he sneered, "I have to think of a way for him."
Compared to Jiang Shangxian who was only concerned about the love between sisters, Wang Mingqian was worried that Zhao Shan would get stubborn and might cost him half his life.
Xuanpingfang.
Unlike the blooming spring flowers outside, there was only one lamp lit in the house, and countless books were scattered on the ground.
Zhao Shan, who was being missed, lay on the bed like a withered man, with disheveled hair, open clothes, and staring at the ceiling with blank eyes.
The doors and windows of the house were all locked tightly from the outside. There was no way a weak scholar like him, who was not even able to tie a chicken, could get out from inside.
Yunguang and Tiaofeng knelt on the ground, both of them were covered in wounds. They held food in their hands and whispered to each other: "Shiqilang, please eat something. If you get yourself sick, I don't know how sad your wife will be..."
They have been locked up here for half a month. At the beginning, their husband tried every possible way to make trouble and escape, but now he seems to have given up hope.
When their master suffered, they, as slaves, felt bad too. It was not that they did not want to help their master, they did, but there were two guards guarding the gate of the courtyard and two standing at the door of the house, so they could not escape at all.
He was severely beaten several times because of the noise he made.
If Zhao Shan had not gone on a hunger strike to get them back, they would probably have lost their lives by now.
Tiaofeng raised his head and glanced at the couch. Seeing that Zhao Shan was still the same, he couldn't help but sigh and shook his head helplessly at Yunguang.
As slaves, they don't mind enduring a little hardship and getting beaten, but my husband has never been as strong as others since he was a child. If he continues like this, his health will definitely be ruined.
Yun Guang gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his knee, and took a few steps forward. He grabbed Zhao Shan's arm and whispered, "Shiqilang, think about Li's Fifth Lady. She's probably locked up at home and can't leave. She's a young lady, how can she bear it? If she knew you were like this, wouldn't she be heartbroken?"
When Li Xueyan was mentioned, Zhao Shan's eyes sparkled, and his eyelashes trembled twice. His voice was hard, and the gentleness of the past had long since disappeared. "Have you, have you, any news about her?"
How could there be news?
Except for the times when they were dragged out to get beaten, the two of them were locked up the rest of the time.
Li Xueyan is now a taboo in the mansion. The master has issued a death order, forbidding anyone to mention her. Even if there is any news, who would dare to tell them?
But Zhao Shan finally showed some reaction, so they naturally had to coax him.
