When Ishihara Hai returned to the inn, it was already very late.

Shi Jinrou hadn't slept yet, and sat in Ishihara's house reading a book, waiting for her father to come back.

Seeing Ishihara Hai entering the house, Shi Jinrou quickly handed her father the hot tea made in advance.

Ishihara Hai was in a very depressed mood, looking frowning.

Shi Jinrou looked at her father and asked carefully: "Dad, what's wrong?"

Ishihara Hai sighed, not knowing how to tell his daughter that he might lose the election.

The Ministry of Personnel selects officials twice a year. If he loses the election this time in the middle of the year, he will have to wait at least another half a year. Moreover, even if Sui Chaoyun still interferes with it half a year later, it is still unknown whether he can be elected. But if Sui Chaoyun's arrangements are accepted, there will be an official position, but if the matter is leaked, it will be a matter of losing his head and will also implicate Xiaorou. At that time, Xiaorou may be regarded as an official maid or an official prostitute. Therefore, no matter what, Sui Chaoyun's arrangements cannot be accepted.

Looking at Ishihara Hai's despair, Shi Jinrou asked worriedly: "Dad, what happened? Can't you tell her daughter?"

Ishihara Hiro buried his face in his hands and said for a while: "Xiao Rou, Daddy may be out of the election this time."

Shi Jinrou was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking, "What did Du Houzhi say?"

Ishihara Hai said "yes".

"Is the news...accurate?" Shi Jinrou was also a little confused.

"I don't know, but it's probably true, because he said that it was Sui Chaoyun who said that if he didn't accept his arrangement, he would let me lose the election." Ishihara Hai sighed.

When Shi Jinrou heard this, she narrowed her eyes. Sui Chaoyun was really not a good person. If she didn't obey his arrangements, she would not be an official. She was really despicable!

Shi Jinrou slowly sat down to the edge of Ishihara Sea, and her mind changed rapidly.

At this time, Mrs. Gu knocked on the door and walked in, handed a bowl of sobering soup to Shi Jinrou.

Shi Jinrou took it and thanked Mrs. Gu habitually.

Mrs. Gu waved her hands repeatedly and said, "I just made a bowl of sobering soup as the lady's instructions, but I can't be the lady's word "Thank you" and kill me!"

Shi Jinrou smiled, said nothing, and waved her hand to let Mrs. Gu retreat.

After bringing the sobering soup to Ishihara, Shi Jinrou said softly: "Dad, let's boil the sobering wine first, so as not to have a headache tomorrow."

Ishihara Hai looked at the bowl of soup in a daze and sighed.

Seeing Ishihara Hai's dejected look, Shi Jinrou suddenly thought up, looked at her father with a smile, and said, "Dad, the sky has not collapsed, what are you afraid of? We are not without money. At worst, you can be a farmer, maybe you are more comfortable."

Ishihara Hai looked at his daughter's indifferent look and said with a wry smile: "Yes, Xiaorou is talking about it. At worst, we can buy a few acres of land back home and we will never starve to death."

The father and daughter were talking, and Ding Zhong carried hot water into the house.

Shi Jinrou quickly stood up and said, "Dad, don't think too much. Wash first and have a good sleep. If there is anything, we will discuss it tomorrow." After that, he blessed his father, gave Ding Zhong a wink, and then walked out of Ishihara Hai's room.

Ding Zhong quickly followed and asked Shi Jinrou with his eyes.

Shi Jinrou whispered in Ding Zhong's ear: "Ding Bo, Daddy is in a bad mood and has drunk another drink. If he can't sleep well, you... no matter what method you use, you must let him sleep well. No matter what, you cannot let Daddy's body collapse."

Ding Zhong nodded and said, "Don't worry, Miss, I know how to do it."

"Thank you!" Shi Jinrou said softly, and after saying that, she turned around and returned to her room.

After returning to the house, Shi Jinrou lay on the bed, thinking about what Ishihara Hai said just now, she couldn't sleep. In fact, she didn't mind whether Ishihara Hai could become an official. Although being an official for thousands of miles was only for money, if you want to make money, it was not the only way to become an official. With her own ability, she could at least ensure that she and her father were full and dressed warmly, not to mention that she still had more than 10,000 taels of silver in her hand now. But the problem was that she had to consider Ishihara Hai's feelings. She studied hard for more than 20 years and passed the imperial examination. She gave up and gave up. No one was willing to accept it. Just like a person who was admitted to university in a poor mountain valley and finished graduate school in modern society, after graduation, she found that she could not find a job and could only go back to the poor mountain valley to dig food in the soil. No one was panicked? If she encountered this situation, she might not be able to figure it out for a while.

But how to avoid being controlled by Sui Chaoyun is another headache.

Shi Jinrou thought about various ways to get rid of Sui Chaoyun in her mind, but in the end she denied it. It is said that the people do not compete with the officials. In the current situation, it is not easy to bypass Sui Chaoyun?

Shi Jinrou thought about it for a long time before she fell asleep in a daze.

Because Ishi Jinrou was thinking about the audition of Ishihara, she felt a little insomnia, so the next morning, Shi Jinrou got up a little later than usual.

Xiao Lian served Shi Jinrou with joy on her face and got up.

Shi Jinrou looked at Xiao Lian with some confusion and asked, "Xiao Lian, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Lian replied with a proud look on his face: "Miss, the grandmother of Marquis Wu Yue sent someone to send a post just now, please ask the lady to visit the Marquis's Mansion!"

Shi Jinrou was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and asked, "When?"

"Just just now, the post is in the hands of the master." Xiao Lian replied.

"I'm asking when will I be a guest?"

"Oh, this, I didn't pay attention." Xiao Lian's voice was a little low. In fact, she answered the post, but she couldn't read it.

Shi Jinrou didn't say anything else. After dressing, she sat on the bed and became stunned.

In fact, Shi Jinrou was considering whether to ask Mrs. Wu Yue to help. The reason why she was hesitant was that she had met her and went to ask for help rashly. It was hard to say whether the Mrs. Wu Yue would help. Secondly, even a fifth-rank official like Sui Chaoyun stood in the team, so did the Wu Yue Hou Mansion also stood in the team? If the Wu Yue Hou Mansion was also secretly supporting a certain prince, then what was the difference between accepting the arrangements of Sui Chaoyun? What's more, it would be better if the Sui Chaoyun and Wu Yue Hou supported different princes. If they supported the same prince, then Ishihara Hai's future situation might be even more embarrassing.
