Zhao Ruxi knew that Gan Lun wanted to do his own ideological work, so he confessed to Qi Xugu and followed Gan Lun out.

When he sat down in the side hall, Gan Lun said: "You silly boy, Mr. Qi loves talents and creates opportunities for you. Otherwise, who would become an official in Jinshi and not start from the seventh or eighth rank?"

Gan Lun tore apart Qi Xugu's kindness and crushed it into pieces for Zhao Ruxi to analyze.

Zhao Ruxi smiled bitterly.

How could she not know Qi Xugu's intention? He came today not only to make a contribution to her, but also to fear that she would be robbed, so he sold her a favor.

"Master, I'm afraid I have to live up to Master Qi's good intentions." Zhao Ruxi said, "If I can really pass the Jinshi examination, I want to take advantage of the fact that I am not burdened by my family and go see the great places of Jin Dynasty. So I want to ask for a favor.

I am going to be an official in another place. I would also like to ask Master to explain it to Mr. Qi for me."

"Why...why are you thinking about releasing it outside?" Gan Lun asked in surprise.

But no matter how he tried to persuade him, Zhao Ruxi was still stubborn.

Gan Lun had no choice but to return to the hall with Zhao Ruxi.

In the hall, Qi Xugu had already passed Zhao Jingli's exam once and found that although his arithmetic ability was not as impressive as Zhao Ruxi's, it was still very good. He was thinking about how to place Zhao Jingli.

Although there is no principle of avoiding taboos between relatives and friends in Beijing, relatives who are close by blood should try to avoid working in the same yamen to avoid the phenomenon of covering up each other and bending the law for personal gain.

If Zhao Ruxi is older and has been in the Household Department for a long time, and soon becomes an official, it would be fine if another young person from the Zhao family joins. But Zhao Ruxi and Zhao Jingli are the same age and join the Household Department at the same time, which is not easy to arrange.

.

When he saw Zhao Ruxi and Gan Lun coming in, he couldn't think about it anymore. He looked at Gan Lun and wanted to know how well he persuaded him. Zhao Ruxi was the most important thing he wanted.

Gan Lun smiled bitterly and said bluntly: "Zhiwei said he wanted to go out."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and looked at Zhao Ruxi.

As the eldest brother, Zhao Jing frowned disapprovingly and said, "Why do you want to go out?"

Zhao Ruxi had just talked to Gan Lun and her mouth was dry and she really didn't want to talk to Zhao Jingli again.

She waved her hand and said: "My grandmother, parents, and my master all agree. I just want to go out for a walk and understand the sufferings of the people down there."

Everyone was suddenly speechless.

None of the elders object to it, so what’s the use of what they say?

Zhao Ruxi smiled again and said: "This is just my plan. It's still early to say this. Maybe I won't be named on the list. It's meaningless to say this."

"Bah, bah, bah, children's words are unbridled, bad things don't work, good things work." Gan Lun said immediately, and after speaking, he glared at Zhao Ruxi, "Don't talk nonsense."

Zhao Ruxi was stunned for a moment, then laughed and quickly admitted his mistake: "Master, I was wrong."

Gan Lun looked at Qi Xugu.

Qi Xugu was a little unhappy.

He was a dignified minister, and at a good age, he could be Zhao Ruxi's grandfather. He came to Zhao Ruxi in person to give credit for his achievements, and invited Zhao Ruxi to serve in the Ministry of Household Affairs. He was considered an extremely courteous corporal. Zhao Ruxi not only did not appreciate it, but also rejected him outright.

.

He said: "Your elders don't object, so it's hard for us outsiders to say anything."

As he said that, he stood up and said, "I still have something to do at the yamen, so I'll leave first."

Gan Lun also quickly stood up and said goodbye.

Zhao Ruxi also knew that he was a little ignorant, and it was right for Qi Xugu to be unhappy.

She respectfully walked the two of them to the gate and watched their carriage leave the alley before turning around.

"If I go to the Ministry of Finance, you won't be able to go." She said to Zhao Jingli.

Qi Xugu initially took the exam for Zhao Jingli, but when he turned around and found out that she refused to recruit him, his expression changed. When he left, he did not mention that Zhao Jingli would work in the Ministry of Household Affairs. If the Zhao Jingli brothers did not understand the meaning of this, they might not be able to complain in their hearts.

What about her?

Although she wanted to be exposed and did not specifically give up her position to Zhao Jingli, she did not want Zhao Jingli to misunderstand her.

Zhao Jingli did have some complaints in his heart just now. But those complaints quickly dissipated.

Zhao Ruxi has her own ideas and wants to let them out. She can't just give up her ideas just because she doesn't want to offend Qi Shangshu, so as to fulfill him, right?

His arithmetic was taught by Zhao Ruxi; today's opportunity was also given by Zhao Ruxi. How could he have the slightest bad idea?

ashamed!

It never occurred to him that two close relatives could not be in the same yamen.

Hearing Zhao Ruxi's words, he was stunned for a while, and then said with red eyes: "Fifth sister, you... you don't have to be like this."

Zhao Ruxi waved her hands quickly: "No. I originally wanted to go out. I won't stop going out because of you, and I won't go out because of you. Don't think too much about it."

Although she said this, Zhao Jingli still felt very guilty, especially the complaint that had just occurred in his heart, which made him feel ashamed.

"You continue to study arithmetic and don't be anxious. As long as you have the ability, even if you stay in the countryside, someone will ask you to be an official. If you don't have the ability, you will just go to these adults every day and they will ignore you." Zhao Ruxi

Said again.

She was not sure what Qi Xugu was thinking just now. Was it really annoying her and even Zhao Jingli didn't want to use it anymore? Or would she continue to use Zhao Jingli after the anger subsided for a while. She didn't understand Qi Xugu, so there was nothing she could do.

guess.

"Remember this sentence: Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared." She poured another bowl of thick chicken soup for Zhao Jingli.

Zhao Jingli stood there as if enlightened, with a dazed look on his face; even Zhao Jing'an looked like he had some epiphany.

When Zhao Ruxi saw the two of them standing there motionless, she couldn't just go in like that, so she had to interrupt their thoughts and asked, "Are you going in to sit there again, or are you going back?"

Only then did Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jingan come to their senses.

Zhao Jingli cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much for the support and advice from Fifth Sister today. Jingli has gained a lot. We will celebrate again when Fifth Sister is nominated for the Gold List. We won't go in today. You can say goodbye to our grandmother and eldest aunt for us."

Zhao Jingan also bowed his hands. The two of them said goodbye and left.

The two of them were silent all the way until they reached the door of the second room. Zhao Jingan said: "Brother, the gap between us and the fifth sister is really far. Do you think she is born smart? Why can't we keep up with her?"

"There is no doubt that she is talented and intelligent. But more importantly, she is a perceptive person. Look at the depth and breadth of her perspective on problems. When we compare her with her, there is a huge difference. Why is there such a gap? You

Look at her, she always has a clear goal, and when she sets her goal, she just works hard towards that goal, without any distractions, and she keeps a firm pace no matter how difficult it is. On the other hand, we ourselves are always aimless, and even if we have a purpose, we are easily half-hearted and half-hearted.
