Before the Wei incident broke out, the old lady and Zhao Jingan were not close. Wei always seemed to be on guard against her harming her son, and the old lady was too lazy to talk to the second wife.

Later, when the Wei incident came out, although Zhao Jingan did not show any hatred, he still harbored hostility towards the old lady and the people in Dafang. The old lady no longer showed any care for this grandson who was not related to her by blood.

When she heard that Zhao Jingan had not passed the exam, the old lady asked a few questions and then gave up. She was happy for the Xu family.

She said: "My brother from the Xu family has passed the exam. I don't know how happy Mr. and Mrs. Xie are. Both children in this family are good children."

"No. I like that little girl Xu Xue very much." Mrs. Zhu agreed.

A few people chatted for a while, and then someone came to report: "The girl is back."

"Quick, call her over." Mrs. Zhu stood up quickly.

After a while, Zhao Ruxi came in and told the governor of the capital about digging a hole for Princess Shangde and waiting for her to make trouble, and said: "The princess was persuaded by me. But she couldn't swallow this breath and went into the palace.

.”

Mrs. Zhu didn't expect that there was a conspiracy in this, and she was immediately frightened. Even the old lady and Zhao Yuanxun were also frightened.

"Thankfully, Nanny Ruan went to inform you, otherwise I would have really caused a big trouble." Mrs. Zhu said, patting her chest.

"Mom, don't make any decisions in the future. Every step we take may lead to a trap. If we can't see clearly, we may fall into a trap." Zhao Ruxi said.

"Don't worry, mother will never dare to do it again." Mrs. Zhu promised again and again.

She really didn't dare anymore.

Not only her, but Zhao Yuanxun also had lingering fears.

Fortunately, he no longer works in the yamen. Otherwise, others would set a trap for him without even knowing it. It's good that he can bear the responsibility for his own mistakes, but it would be terrible if Zhao Ruxi was implicated.

Their Suiping residence finally gave birth to such a promising child, but we can't let him get involved.

But the old lady is still stable.

She realized that she was getting old since she was graded. She felt that not only now, but also when she was young, she was far different from Zhao Ruxi in terms of vision and means. She should just ignore everything and do things honestly.

Her old lord, enjoy your leisurely life.

She doesn't go out, she doesn't talk nonsense, she doesn't interfere randomly, and she can't make any mistakes no matter what.

"Old madam, uncle, madam, young lady, someone from the palace has come to convey the order and asked everyone to go to the front hall to receive the order." Suddenly a maid ran in quickly and spoke very fast.

"Accept the order?" The three elders were startled and turned to look at Zhao Ruxi.

Especially Zhu, who subconsciously felt that she was the one who caused the trouble. The emperor was issuing an order to reprimand them, and her face turned pale with fright.

"Mom, don't worry, it's something else." Zhao Ruxi knew what was going on.

When Princess Shangde entered the palace, Zhao Ruxi did not return to the uncle's house immediately. Instead, he stayed in Beining for a while, looked at the workshop and Zhuangzi, and the shop's account books during this period, and dealt with some chores. It took him about half an hour before returning.

.

Calculating the time spent assembling, demonstrating and disassembling the machine, Princess Shangde should have just left the palace not long ago.

The emperor's imperial edict may have come because of the loom, and it was probably a reward or something.

"Something else?" the old lady asked, "a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Good thing." Zhao Ruxi smiled.

She asked the maid: "Do you know who is coming?"

"He is a middle-aged chamberlain. He introduced himself as Xie." The maid said.

Zhao Ruxi became more and more determined.

Her painting was bought by Xie's father-in-law at the auction. This father-in-law must have a good impression of Suiping's house.

To put her family at ease, she told her elders this.

Everyone felt relieved. Zhao Yuanxun hurriedly went to receive Eunuch Xie. The old lady and Mrs. Zhu went back and changed into their homely clothes, and then hurried to the front hall.

Sure enough, when he met the people from Suiping's residence, Eunuch Xie was very polite, smiled when he spoke, and showed great respect to the old lady.

Zhao Jingtai had gone to school and was not at home, and he was still a child. Eunuch Xie stopped Zhao Yuanxun from sending someone to call him. When he saw everyone gathered, he opened the imperial edict and read it out.

The imperial edict began with a burst of praise for Zhao Yuanxun, and finally said: "... Zhao Yuanxun is appointed as the deputy of Zuosi Temple of Dali Temple, and he will take office immediately. I admire this."

After Eunuch Xie finished reading, when Zhao Yuanxun came to receive the imperial edict, he saw Zhao Yuanxun kneeling there blankly, his face full of disbelief. He couldn't help but cough.

The old lady and Mr. Zhu reached out and pushed Zhao Yuanxun at the same time. Only then did Zhao Yuanxun react, kowtow quickly to express gratitude, and accepted the imperial edict from Eunuch Xie.

After delivering the order, Eunuch Xie turned around and was about to return to the palace. Zhao Yuanxun hurriedly sent him out and stuffed a purse into his hand, which contained a jade pendant of good quality.

With Zhu's affairs at hand, Zhao Yuanxun did not dare to ask Eunuch Xie how he came to be an official, for fear that he would make mistakes if he said too much.

On the other hand, Eunuch Xie, as a fan of Zhiwei Jushi, was heartbroken about his idol. He was afraid that Zhao Yuanxun didn't know the origin of this official, so he couldn't help but mention: "My uncle really gave birth to a good daughter.

"

Zhao Yuanxun knew that he got this official position because of Zhao Ruxi.

After seeing off Eunuch Xie, he came back and asked Zhao Ruxi. Zhao Ruxi said: "Didn't I ask my mother to collect a few textile looms for me to study last year? I improved the textile loom. Just now when Princess Shangde entered the palace, she

I took him to the palace by chance. I think it was because of this that the emperor couldn't reward me, so he gave dad an official."

Only then did the old lady and Mr. Zhu know the origin of this official position.

"People say that raising a son will bring glory to the ancestors. I see, raising a daughter is the way to go." The old lady said with emotion, "Sister Xi, at such a young age, you have become a prominent figure yourself, how can you give your father such an official?

.The good life of our Suiping residence is all thanks to Sister Xi."

"That's not true!" Zhu agreed happily.

Zhao Ruxi said: "Dad, the emperor is really thoughtful in giving you this official position. Mr. Zhang of Dali Temple is a very upright man; my third senior brother also serves there. I am not worried about you going to serve in Dali Temple. I will write a letter later.

Write a letter to Third Senior Brother and ask him to tell his colleagues in Dali Temple to take care of you. If you have any questions you don’t understand, you can go to him and ask after he goes to court tomorrow."

Zhao Yuanxun was both happy and worried just now. He was naturally happy because he was given the rank of a sixth-rank official; he was worried because he was worried that he would not be able to do a good job.

He originally held a military position and dealt with rough people. Now he is going to be an official in a yamen like Dali Temple, and he will be in the sixth rank when he goes there. He is worried that he is not capable enough, can't do the job well, and will embarrass his daughter;

He is also worried about being envied and jealous, and causing trouble for him. It doesn't matter if he suffers some losses, he is afraid that his daughter will be harmed.
