Chapter 160: Diverting trouble to the east
Although Su Chengyan was transferred back to Beijing with a transfer order, his position after returning to Beijing was not written on the transfer order.
In the past few days, Su Chengyan went to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War to ask questions. He said that there were no idle posts for the generals in the capital and they had to wait.
There are many officials waiting for vacancies in Beijing, and they are all anxious to find a way out. After all, without a position, there is no real power, and without real power, there is no money. That salary is really not enough to support the family.
Su Qingyu was startled for a moment, then understood. No wonder the second aunt spoke softly as soon as she entered the door. Even if she said something unpleasant, the second aunt didn't show any anger at all.
It turns out he was waiting here.
Su Qingyu naturally didn't want to get involved in Su Chengyan's affairs. She thought slightly and said with a smile.
"Second Aunt, didn't you find the wrong person? If you don't find someone who can do this, you'd rather look far away from me."
He was stunned and didn't understand what Su Qingyu meant. There are not many people in Beijing who can arrange a good position for Su Chengyan, and Shen Zhixiu is the best candidate in her opinion.
Seeing that she was puzzled, Su Qingyu used her eyes to signal He to look at Su Yihui.
"Second aunt, third sister will soon be the wife of the Crown Prince of Weiguo Palace."
"Second uncle used to be under Duke Wei, and Prince Zhao helped with his transfer orders. Isn't it right for you to ask third sister to help tell Prince Zhao."
"Although the third master is the second assistant in the cabinet, Chen Ge is still the minister of civil affairs. In terms of military generals, the third master cannot surpass Wei Guogong and Zhongyihou."
"Although the second sister has offended the eldest lady of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, the third sister can help arrange a good position for the second uncle by telling Prince Zhao."
He knew that Su Chengyan's transfer order was signed by Prince Zhao, and also knew that it was because of Su Yihui. However, she heard that Zhao Shizi did not plan to make any grand arrangements for his renewal. He only planned to carry people in in a small sedan chair on June 15th. Doesn't this mean that Prince Zhao doesn't take his wife as a priority?
On the other hand, in the Shen family, Su Qingyu married in a grand manner, and Shen Zhixiu had great power again. This kind of thing should only be a matter of one sentence.
So He weighed it carefully before deciding to open his mouth with Su Qingyu.
When Su Qingyu said this, she couldn't tell whether she was making an excuse or if she really thought so.
Su Qingyu looked at Su Yihui again, "Third sister, if you can help with my second uncle's affairs, you will really be the number one contributor to our family."
"My grandmother has been thinking about my second uncle the most in these years when he was in Qianzhou. Now that he has returned to Beijing, Prince Zhao should arrange a good position for his second uncle for the sake of his third sister."
"Prince Zhao still values his third sister very much."
Su Qingyu's few words made Su Yihui stand up, and she couldn't even say anything to refute Su Qingyu. say what? That Prince Zhao actually doesn't value her? Or, she was unable to arrange a good position for her second uncle.
Su Yihui could only laugh twice and said: "My second aunt's brother is now the Young Minister of Dali Temple, and my niece is Donggong Liangdi."
"Isn't this matter... just a matter of one word from His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Su Qingyu sneered in her heart. He Jiaojiao had never been favored by the prince in her previous life. Otherwise, her second uncle would not have stayed in Qianzhou all the time.
He also explained, "Jiaojiao has just entered the East Palace, so it's not good to mention this matter to the prince."
Su Qingyu looked at Su Yihui, "Is the third sister in trouble? Or is it that Prince Zhao actually doesn't care about you that much?"
Although this was true, Su Yihui didn't want to admit it. She didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity to step on Su Qingyu. She also didn't want her grandmother and second aunt to look down upon her, thinking that she was useless and couldn't even win over a man.
So when Mr. He looked at her, she nodded confidently, "In that case, don't worry, Second Aunt, I will mention this to Prince Zhao."
"It's just that we have to wait until we get married. It's not convenient for me to meet Prince Zhao in private at this time."
Su Yihui made up her mind to capture Zhao Ji's heart after getting married. When they were newlyweds, she just turned a deaf ear to it, and the matter was settled.
Su Qingyu was right when she said that as long as she accomplished this, her grandmother, uncle and aunt would all look up to her.
Seeing Su Yihui's promise, He was relieved. I thought that Su Qingyu was right, it would be better for the county magistrate to take charge now. It seems that she will have more time to walk around with Su Yihui in the future and cling to the big tree in Duke Wei's Mansion.
Thinking of this, the look he looked at Su Yihui became a little more cordial than before.
They held hands and exchanged greetings for a long time.
Su Yihui was so overwhelmed by He's flattery that she was probably at a loss.
Su Qingyu watched coldly from the side, laughing in her heart. No matter how Su Yihui flattered her today, she would be blamed by He tomorrow.
Shen Zhixiu had been chatting with her these past few days and accidentally talked about a lot of things about Duke Wei's palace. Su Qingyu also had some understanding of the eldest son of Duke Wei.
Su Yihui wanted to seek benefits for the Su family through him, but it would be extremely difficult.
"Second aunt doesn't need to make it difficult for eldest sister. She just married into the Shen family, so I'm afraid it won't be easy for her to ask for help."
The implication was that Su Qingyu had nothing to say to Shen Zhixiu.
Su Qingyu didn't defend herself, as if she agreed with Su Yihui's words.
She didn't care what the Su family thought of her. What was important was not to cause trouble for her.
If she showed how much Shen Zhixiu loved her and how much the old lady valued her. I'm afraid that in less than three days, the Su family will find a lot of things for her to do.
"Grandma, what should we do about the antique satin?"
"How should we explain to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion?"
Su Qingyu was afraid that they would cause trouble to Su Shunci again after she left, so she asked the old lady.
Upon hearing this, the old lady glared at Su Shunci angrily, "You are in charge of the shop now, what do you think we should do?"
Su Shunci knew what Su Qingyu meant. She and her sisters had already been to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty, so the matter was resolved.
The eldest sister said this probably because she was afraid of making things difficult for her.
Su Shunci pretended to be serious and said, "Grandma, although it was my second sister who caused this, I have always been in charge of the shop."
"Of course it is my duty to resolve this matter."
"In the worst case, I will personally go to the Zhongyihou Mansion to plead guilty."
When the old lady heard that she had taken over the matter, her expression softened a lot, and she told Su Shunci, "Only these two shops in the family are profitable now. Please explain it to Miss Song. Don't let people say that our family doesn't care about credibility. Even small things go wrong."
In the past, the old lady of a silk and satin shop would not take it seriously.
But now Lin Wanyin has taken away all the family's belongings, and the only places where money can be brought in are these two silk and satin shops. If there is a problem with the business of these two shops, the livelihood of the Hou Mansion will be even more difficult.
Su Qingyu lowered her head and snorted in her heart. Grandmother pushed the matter onto Ah Ci, and she was really justified.
Su Shunci respectfully said "Yes", her eyebrows lowered and she looked a little embarrassed.
Only in this way, the old lady and the second lady will not punish her for this matter. After all, they are still waiting for her to deal with the aftermath.
Su Qingyu saw that the matter was almost settled, so she retreated from Songhe Hall. Prepare to leave the house with Su Shunci to have dinner with her mother.
As soon as I walked to the edge of the garden, I saw Aunt Xue walking towards me.
It's not like they met her by chance, it's like they came here specifically to find her.
"Miss, I want to ask you something." Aunt Xue said cautiously and somewhat flatteringly.
Seeing this, Su Shunci calmly walked aside to look at the flowers, which were not too far away or too close. Since I couldn't hear what the two of them said, I could still be by Su Qingyu's side at any time.
Su Qingyu knew what Aunt Xue wanted to ask, but she still asked her, "What does Aunt Xue want from me?"
Aunt Xue discussed in an almost pleading tone: "Miss, can you let me meet your eldest brother? I haven't seen anyone alive or dead for several months, and I feel really uneasy physically and mentally."
