Kang Shilin was a very transparent person. He knew what Zhao Ruxi said and what she wanted to do as soon as he heard it.

He stroked his beard and asked: "You mean that after the spring season, the two farm tools and water conservancy have fully exerted their effects. After the emperor, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household saw the value of these things, they were reluctant to let you stay at home.

Instead, he will take the initiative to come to your door and invite you to become an official?"

Zhao Ruxi nodded: "It's not business that gets me, let alone my current situation. If I take the initiative to apply to be an official, no matter what kind of contribution I make, someone will gossip about me. I will be completely thankless."

"So instead of asking for an official position on my own initiative, it is better for the court to ask me to become an official. This order must not be reversed."

Having said this, Zhao Ruxi glanced at Kang Shilin: "I am telling you this to let you know what to do. If the emperor mentions this matter, you always know how to deal with it."

"Hahahaha..." Kang Shilin couldn't help laughing. While laughing, he pointed at Zhao Ruxi and said, "You little girl, you have a lot of twists and turns in your belly. You really deserve to be my disciple, Kang Shilin. Okay, okay, this

This is the best thing to do."

He nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Master understands what to do. I will definitely give you some relief from the emperor and those jealous grandsons in the court."

Did he know that when Zhao Ruxi was selected as the number one scholar and went to Nanyang to take office, the gossips and slanderous words said behind his back by those turtles and grandsons?

Zhao Ruxi poured Kang Shilin a cup of tea diligently, with a smile as bright as a flower: "Then I'll thank you, Master."

After Kang Shilin picked up the tea and took a sip, Zhao Ruxi returned to his seat, sat down, and asked, "How are the three senior brothers doing lately?"

"It's good." Kang Shilin said, "Your senior brother was very busy some time ago, as you know. Now that the political situation is stable, he can finally take a breath. Your second senior brother..."

He glanced at Zhao Ruxi and said, "Thanks to you, I have been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry."

"Ah?" Zhao Ruxi was very surprised, she didn't even know about this.

"When did it happen? Why didn't I know? Also, what do you mean by asking for my blessing? What does it have to do with me?" she asked.

"This is the decree issued by the court this morning." Kang Shilin said, "The original minister of the Ministry of Industry was from the Cen family. The emperor allowed him to become an official because of his old age. Of course, this has nothing to do with you. I listen to your senior brother

He said that originally there were several candidates for Minister of Industry, and everyone wanted to recommend someone. Although your senior brother also recommended your second senior brother, he knew that there was little hope."

"After all, he himself is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Is your senior brother Yannian the minister of Honglu Temple? Our department accounts for two of the three ministers and the six ministers. If there is another one? It will be a taboo."

Zhao Ruxi nodded.

To put it bluntly, the emperor's art is the art of balance. Even if Xiao Ge wants to suppress the remnants of those princes, does he know that Kang Shilin has no desire for power? He will not let people from Kang Shilin's faction become powerful.

After all, although this faction uses Kang Shilin as a link, the leader is Wu Huaisi. Wu Huaisi is not a person who is indifferent to fame and wealth, otherwise he would not be able to climb to that position.

"Have you never thought about it? As soon as your senior brother mentioned Gong Cheng, the emperor agreed. Several other people thought that the emperor was just looking at me? They didn't dare to say anything. But when your senior brother came home and thought about it? He felt that

Maybe the emperor wants you to work more for the court, but it is difficult for you to be an official, so he asked your second senior brother to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry."

"Your Majesty knows that you value friendship, for my sake? You won't fail to help your second senior brother."

"Is that so?" Zhao Ruxi said, thinking deeply.

Kang Shilin waved his hand: "Girl, don't think too much. Although the emperor may think so, I can't let your second senior brother borrow your light and still block your way. In this matter, if the emperor doesn't put pressure on your second senior brother,

He just pretends to be deaf and dumb; if the emperor puts pressure, your second senior brother can propose that you go back to work in the Ministry of Industry."

"You can only do your job in your position. I don't want to give you a position but I want you to work? How can you take advantage of me? Even if you are Princess Qi, the court cannot do this."

Zhao Ruxi nodded in agreement, and then explained: "Master, I don't have to take up a position. Do you know that? At the beginning, Princess Shangde and Master Cui spent a lot of energy to persuade me, so I was willing to take the imperial examination. I carried the burden

It is the hope of women."

"I was admitted to the top position and became an official? But I stopped working as an official after half a year and got married? How can I set an example for women? So this position? It's not for me, it's for women all over the world."

Kang Shilin nodded repeatedly: "I know, I understand."

He was teaching at Beining Girls' College back then. He knew everything Cui Wen did.

"Being an official is what you should do. Otherwise, wouldn't you let go of your talent and learning? Although you can draw, write, and make farm tools at home, how can you get the right reputation as an official?" he said.

Seeing that her master could understand her, Zhao Ruxi felt very happy.

She asked again: "Is Third Senior Brother okay?"

Wu Zong is a man of action. When he came to Nanyang, he said that he had expressed his feelings to Xiao Ruotong and was going to Zhennan Prince's Mansion to propose marriage. The proposal was successful not long after, and they got married within two months. The day they got married was

The tenth day of December.

After getting married, Xiao Ruotong followed Wu Zong to Linjiang Mansion to take up his post. She did not rush back when Zhao Ruxi got married.

"Okay, very good." When Kang Shilin mentioned this, a smile spread across his face, "I also received a letter from him yesterday, saying that the Lord of Qingyang County was pregnant. He was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

I immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to hurry up and tell me."

"Ah?" Zhao Ruxi opened her eyes wide in surprise, and immediately clapped her hands twice with joy, "Ah, that's great."

One was her closest senior brother, and the other was her good friend. I thought Xiao Ruotong couldn't get pregnant, but she didn't expect that she would get pregnant just three months after getting married.

"No," Kang Shilin said, stroking his beard, "They say the Lord of Qingyang County can't have children, so he was divorced for this reason. I didn't expect that she would become pregnant. I feel relieved because of your third senior brother."

When Wu Zong married Xiao Ruotong, Kang Shilin also worried about him. After all, Wu Zong only had one daughter and no sons. Xiao Ruotong wanted to divorce because the British prince wanted to take a concubine. He and Xiao Ruotong were bound to get married.

He won't take concubines anymore.

When his daughter gets married, the couple will be lonely without a son or a half. If one of them leaves early, the other will really be living alone.
