Zhao Ruxi, who had been swayed by Qi Xugu, was sitting in the hall of Suiping's residence, listening to the praises of her eldest and second aunts from the Zhu family with a confused look on her face.

"...That's not the case. Our sister Xi is beautiful, smart, and very beautiful. Not even the women in the capital, but all over the world, no one can compare with her..."

Even Mr. Zhu, who has a ten-centimetre-thick filter on his daughter, can't stand listening to it.

She interrupted her sister-in-law's endless flattery and asked: "Sister-in-law, you guys came here today, but what's the matter?"

"It's okay. I just thought that spring will be here soon and our niece is having a hard time studying, so I brought some supplements to give her some supplements." Zhu Heyu's wife Mengshi said with a smile.

Zhu Hehuai's wife Cao added: "Yes. Besides, spring is coming soon. Let's bring some materials to make some spring shirts for our niece."

Zhao Ruxi and her mother looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.

After Suiping's residence was separated and she and Zhao Jingli took their respective places, Mr. Zhu also took her to the Zhu's house. In the past two years, she and Mr. Zhu went back to the Zhu's house to pay their respects during the Chinese New Year.

Compared with the Suiping Hou Mansion before the separation, the Zhu family was relatively harmonious. Zhao Ruxi had a good impression of his two uncles and aunts. The Zhu family were not snobbish people. They valued family ties more than power and money.

But she became more and more busy, and Zhu couldn't bear to take her back when she returned to her parents' home. In addition, Zhu's uncles had many sons, and even though they had two cousins, they were all married, and there were no girls of the right age to associate with her.

Therefore, she did not have much contact with the Zhu family.

Zhao Ruxi really felt strange when the two aunts came and looked like this.

Finally, Meng revealed the answer to the mystery.

She smiled at Mr. Zhu and said, "We are here today to tell you that your eldest brother has been promoted. During the holidays, I would like to invite the old lady and your family of four to have a casual meal together to celebrate for him.

."

Cao also said: "A few days ago, my husband wrote a few articles and sent them to Mr. Peng together with other friends. For some reason, Mr. Peng specially called my husband to give him some guidance and also gave him some advice.

Tell him if you have any questions in the future, just come to your door. If he is free, he will definitely take a look."

As she said that, she turned around and looked at Zhao Ruxi with a smile: "We have nothing to do with Mr. Peng. Your second uncle also submitted articles to friends in the past. But there are so many scholars in the capital, and Mr. Peng can't read them even if he has three heads and six arms.

But come here. After much deliberation, we think it’s thanks to my niece that we can be given guidance by Lord Peng this time.”

Hearing what her sister-in-law said, Meng also hurriedly said: "Sister Xi, so is your uncle. He has been in the Ministry of Personnel for who knows how many years and has never been promoted. In terms of ability and background, the person in the Ministry of Personnel is

No one is better than him as an official. It is probably for Sister Xi’s sake that Wu Shangshu can be promoted this time.”

When Mrs. Zhu heard these words, she felt happy in her heart, but she still said: "Don't say that. The eldest brother and the younger brother have come by chance, and they have nothing to do with Sister Xi. We can't say this again."

"We don't have to worry about it. We know the importance." Meng said quickly, "I only dare to say this to you. We don't dare to say this in front of outsiders. Otherwise, wouldn't it cause trouble for Wu Shangshu and Master Peng?"

Mrs. Zhu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that sister-in-law knows."

The two ladies of the Zhu family sat for a while, then went to greet the old lady and personally invited her to the banquet before leaving.

After seeing off her sister-in-law and sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhu returned to the old lady's place and saw her daughter sitting opposite the old lady. Grandfather and grandson were drinking tea and eating snacks, looking very comfortable.

She said: "Have you ever gone to say hello to Wu Shangshu and Peng Jijiu?"

Zhao Ruxi quickly waved her hand, swallowed the snack in her mouth, and took a sip of tea: "This is none of my business. Didn't you say so? The opportunity has come for the two uncles."

Mrs. Zhu sat down, took the tea handed over by the maid, and said with a smile: "I don't know if they have a chance? I don't believe it if it's not your blessing."

Zhao Ruxi glanced at her, then at the old lady, and said: "If you want to talk about thanks to me, there is one thing that cannot be separated from me. I will tell you two first, so that you will not be confused when the time comes.

Prepare."

Zhu wanted to take a sip of tea, but when she heard her words, she put down the teacup she had just put to her mouth.

Her expression became serious: "What's the matter?"

The old lady also looked at her granddaughter slightly nervously.

They all know that Zhao Ruxi's situation is huge. She doesn't take it to heart at all about small things, such as Zhu Heyu and Zhu Hehuai being promoted or receiving advice because of her. She doesn't think it's her own credit and she doesn't need to be complacent.

Now that Zhao Ruxi has spoken out in such a serious manner, it must be a big deal.

Zhao Ruxi asked Kang Shilin to call her yesterday, and Xiao Ge planned to make her the county head. She told them about her petition for Zhao Yuanxun.

Before she finished speaking, Mr. Zhu slapped her: "You kid, why are you so stupid?"

She then wanted to scold Zhao Ruxi for giving up her position as county leader. But as if she realized something, she glanced at the old lady and swallowed the words that came to her mouth.

In her opinion, it doesn't matter whether her husband is an official or not. The status of her daughter is the most important thing. But the old lady may not think so. In the eyes of the old lady, the future of her son and grandson is the most important. Say more

Yes, she was afraid that her mother-in-law would be unhappy.

But she didn't want the old lady to open her mouth and lecture Zhao Ruxi: "You silly girl, how can you do such a stupid thing? Your father is old and in bad health. Where can he be promoted if he continues to be an official? The most he can do is

Just enjoy it for two or three years. If you can be granted the title of County Lord, that will benefit you for a lifetime. If it doesn't work, you can ask the prince to restore the original title to our house. Such an official should not be treated inappropriately.

It’s hard to get dressed, why are you here?”

Zhu: "..."

Well, after listening to the first half of the sentence, she felt deeply grateful and felt that her mother-in-law had really changed completely. But after hearing the last two sentences, she became expressionless.

In the heart of the old man, the granddaughter is important, but the title of the Zhao family is also very important.

"Can it still be changed now? Before the imperial edict is issued, you should quickly go to your master and ask him to mention it to the emperor." The old lady urged Zhao Ruxi anxiously.

"Uh, I can't change it." Zhao Ruxi said.

After the border war subsided, the busy system came to a rest. She happened to mention this matter to Kang Shilin yesterday, so the system went to inquire about the results and just told her the news for free. She just mentioned it to the old lady and Zhu.

of.

Otherwise, with her temperament, she would never make a fuss if something wasn't done first. If it wasn't done, wouldn't she be happy in vain?
