Shangguan Mingcai asked, "Are you unsatisfied with that place?"

Mrs. Shangguan replied: "Most of them are short-sighted."

"What else?"

"And there are also small gains."

Shangguan Mingcai shook his head: "Being the wife of our Shangguan family, you must be open-minded and suitable for your family."

"The daughter-in-law knows."

"Don't hurry, pick it slowly."

Mrs. Shangguan stopped her work, "But Shulan's marriage cannot be delayed, but I didn't find a suitable one. It's really a worry."

Shangguan Ming opened his eyes, stood up from the stool, walked a few steps behind his back, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Big grandson, are there all the people in the 'si' position?"

Shangguan Leju stood up and replied, "Grandpa, there was only one Dasikong who was made by Mei Linkai, the concubine son of the Mei family."

"If I remember correctly, the Mei family's illegitimate son has never been an official, right?"

Shangguan Leju replied: "Yes, everyone is talking about this matter, but rumors come out that Princess Xia asked him to start with a minor official and give him two years to prepare, and that Dasikong only stayed for him."

"How credible is this?" Shangguan Mingcai asked.

Shangguan Mingju replied: "I heard that at that time, many female relatives in the main hall of the backyard heard this, and I also found someone to check it out, it's true."

"It was the princess who said..."

"Yes, Grandpa!"

Shangguan Mingcai smiled and said, "I just said the importance of marrying a good wife, so that's coming."

"Grandpa--" Shangguan Mingju was puzzled.

Shangguan Mingcai narrowed his eyes and smiled, "If you guessed correctly, then the position of Da Situ has been left to me."

"Ah..." The Shangguan family looked at the old man in surprise.

"In these two days, the Xia couple will definitely visit them in person."

"ah--"

"Grandpa--" Everyone looked disbelief.

Shangguan Mingcai smiled, "Don't you believe it? Then wait and see." After that, he walked away proudly with his hands behind his back.

General Xuancheng Mansion

Since I was busy yesterday and now I have been free, Xia Zongze asked casually when he stretched out: "How did you know yesterday that the woman Mei Linkai married was not Miss Ouyang?"

Lin Yiran replied: "A man who wants to make achievements in his career knows what to give up and what to keep in his heart."

"You mean, that woman will only live in his heart in the future?"

"almost!"

Xia Zongze frowned, but said nothing.

"What are you frowning?" Lin Yiran asked curiously.

"I can't say it."

"Haha... Of course you are a rough man, of course you can't say it." Lin Yiran smiled and said, "Actually, this is youth. Some things can only be recalled, but they cannot get close to them."

“Why?”

Lin Yiran sighed: "Because once you get close, the beauty you saw at first will disappear, and you will not even remember it in the end."

Xia Zongze replied, "I seem to understand a little."

"You... understand?" Lin Yiran looked at him with a smile.

"Um!"

"Tell me, look—"

Xia Zongze frowned and replied, "If such a woman is married, I don't know what she has to do except help him wipe her butt."

"Wow, wow, lord, you speak so rudely."

"What are you afraid of if a man is rude!" Xia Zongze's old face turned red.

Lin Yiran quipped: "Hehe, it will make the little ladies sad if they don't match your appearance."

"Come here to spend time with me again, do you deserve a beating?" Xia Zongze smiled and frightened.

"Haha..." Lin Yiran wanted to avoid it, but when he was caught in his arms, she kissed her a few times. After adjusting her work, she felt relaxed after adjusting her body like this.

The couple was making a fuss, and the conversation between Xiaoshun and Mr. Fan came from outside. Lin Yiran was still sitting in Xia Zongze's arms and stood up quickly, sat on the stool next to him, and continued to drink his own tea.

Soon, Mr. Fan came in and bowed and said, "Prince--"

"How was the situation in yesterday's literary meeting?"

"Everything is here." Mr. Fan gave the finished manuscript to Xia Zongze.

Xia Zongze reached out and flipped over it, and handed it to Lin Yiran sitting next to him.

"princess--"

"gentlemen--"

"Situ, Sinong, has Siko decided?" asked Mr. Fan.

Xia Zongze put away his smiling face and touched his chin, "I have read the list you recommended and am about to ask you to discuss it together."

"Okay, Prince!"

Lin Yiran twitched the list on the table and said, "Sir, you put Shangguan Ming first. Do you think he is available?"

Mr. Fan replied: "During this period, many people from Xuancheng tribes invited me to dinner. I followed the prince's wishes and almost all went there. I inquired about the situation in Xuancheng. I combined the folk comments inquired by Brother Ma and the impressions of officials that Lord Tao had come into contact with when he was in Xuancheng before, and made a comprehensive consideration. I felt that Shangguan Ming, the position of Situ, was more suitable."

Lin Yiran nodded, "I asked Uncle Ma to go and inquire about this person. The people's evaluation is very prudent. He is a solid official, but his foundation is shallow, so I am afraid he will not accept the public."

"This..." Mr. Fan looked at Xia Zongze, "Then Prince, what do you mean..."

Xia Zongze said: "Let him have a foundation."

"Marry him?"

"Um."

"Prince..." Mr. Fan looked at Lin Yiran in surprise, "Marry Shangguan's daughter as his concubine?"

Lin Yiran rolled her eyes.

Mr. Fan smiled awkwardly: "Shu Beizhi didn't guess it."

Lin Yiran replied: "Ling Qixuan stayed in Xuancheng as the Grand Sima. The empty naval commander is ready to pick up the naval commander Sheng Shuo. General Sheng has not yet been married. I heard that General Sheng has a good character and a simple family population. He is ready to let the Sheng family marry the Shangguan family."

"I see."

Lin Yiran said: "Not only that, I am going to let Miss Shangguan be my female official."

Mr. Fan nodded, "In this way, Lord Shangguan has a deep relationship with our Ningguo."

"Yes!" Lin Yiran said again: "Uncle Ma also told me something."

"What's up?"

"I heard that Lord Shangguan's grandson is a talented person and is very experienced in the world. Look, if you have any more pragmatic positions to give him, you should not be too low or too high." Lin Yiran said.

Mr. Fan quickly lowered his head and flipped through the documents in his hand, and replied: "There is a sixth-rank official under the prefect of Xuancheng. What do the princess think?"

Lin Yiran nodded, "It's very good. You can send someone to notify his position."

"The princess means, Situ, you go and invite him in person?"

Lin Yiran and Xia Zongze nodded, "Yes, we couple went to invite them in person."

Mr. Fan nodded, "People and wise, the prince is wise."

Ouyang Family

After Ouyang Jingshu was sent back, she fell asleep for three days and three nights before she woke up. After waking up, she burst into tears and almost sucked over again.

The girl Shuimu pinched the people three times before she stopped her crying, "Miss, stop crying. The old man sold all the property in Xuancheng and was about to return to his ancestral home in the countryside."

Ouyang Jingshu, who was sobbing, was stunned. She suddenly got out of bed, put on her clothes and went to her grandfather's study room. The study room was being cleaned up and it was already empty.

"Grandpa...has it my granddaughter who implicated you?"

Ouyang Xu, who is nearly 60 years old, shook his head gently for the old man who looks like an eighty-year-old at this moment, "No, child, it's grandpa who has implicated you."

"Grandpa..." Ouyang Jingshu's tears remained again, "What should we do?"

"Child, this day has changed. It is no longer suitable for our Ouyang family to stay here again. Let's go back to our hometown in the countryside with grandpa."

"Grandpa..." Ouyang Jingshu couldn't help crying loudly.

Ouyang Xuwei said: "Child, why don't grandpa go back to his hometown in the countryside after you get married?"

"No...no...grandfather...I won't get married, I want to take care of you and You'er, I want to..." At this moment, Ouyang Jingshu was completely disappointed and just wanted to escape from this dispute from afar.
