Chapter 119 Do You Still Have Relatives?
"If Brother Min wants to go to Liubu, then I might ask my mother to ask her to talk to her aunt. Maybe my aunt can make this happen."
Li Man's cheeks were stained with mist for some unknown reason.
Song Yiru stopped waving the silk: "Isn't this bad?"
"Then you didn't come to me just to ask me to help you get through the back door?"
"Of course not, I just want to ask you for information." Song Yiru put down her hand, "Although I also hope that this position will fall to our Song family, and I hope to push my brother directly to the Sixth Department, but seriously speaking
, it is easy for a person to directly step into the official position of the sixth rank, which is easy to attract criticism. Besides, with a character like Mr. Zhang Ge, how could he easily agree to open the back door?"
"That's right." Li Man said, holding the cup, "Spring will be here in less than a year. If you are named on the gold list, your future will be even more promising."
"Who says it's not?"
Song Yiru sighed and lowered his head to drink tea.
Han Mo, who was separated by a wall, and Yang You, who was also holding a listening urn and listening to the voices across the wall, exchanged glances.
"I don't know if Mr. Song has gone to the Duke of Guo to find a solution? Maybe the Duke of Guo can help with this matter?"
"Do you think that the Duke of Guo, no matter how powerful he is, can be better than the emperor and the prince?" Han Mo glanced at him and took the urn back, "Empress Gao of Daliang is from the Song family, and their family is also related to the emperor! The emperor does not intend to get involved.
We are fighting with these two families, do you think our family can help?"
"Then we don't care?"
Han Mo thought for a moment, put his hands on his hips and said, "Invite Song Min out tomorrow night." He then said, "I'll go back and ask Han Qian for a better place. He eats and drinks out every day. What's his taste?"
"okay!"
…
After dinner, after drawing a few lock shapes, Su Nu called Aji into the room.
She was probably getting ready to go to bed. Her clothes were neatly dressed, but her hair was tied casually. Looking under the light, her face, which had been cultivated to be white and rosy, turned out to be more comfortable to look at.
"Why doesn't the big girl wear shoes?"
She was short and her eyesight was low. As soon as she came in, she saw Su Nuo's bare feet on the footrest. She quickly found shoes and prepared to put them on Su Nuo.
Su Nu retreated. "This is not what you should do. Sit down." She patted the empty seat next to her.
After she sat down, Su Nu said, "Do you really not know your life experience?"
Aji shook his head: "I told the girl everything I know."
Su Nu handed her the copy of Zhou Chengli's life file. "I copied this from the Ministry of Personnel files. Check to see if it is your father. Does it match? If you have any words you don't recognize, you can ask me."
Aji took it in a daze and looked at it line by line.
It is impossible for an eight-year-old child to have any deep thoughts. So her expression soon changed, from confusion to shock in just a few breaths.
"This is my father! He is the Tongzhi of Jinling Mansion! I remembered that I heard them say the word 'Tongzhi'!..."
Aji raised his head, his face flushed with excitement.
Su Nu looked at her: "Take a closer look."
Aji continued to read obediently, her chest rising and falling. Her voice slowly turned into a whisper: "It turns out that my ancestral home is in Gyeonggi... It turns out that my mother took me home..."
Su Nu said: "Can you remember now what else your mother said when she took you to Beijing?"
Aji slowly raised his head, his eyes full of confusion. "I can't remember it now... She said many, many words, but I don't know which ones are useful to me now."
Su Ruo didn't press her. After a moment of silence, he just asked: "Then can you think of anyone in the capital that your parents know? I can take you to find him."
Aji shook his head. Then he looked over timidly, like a little weed trembling in the cold wind, and said eagerly: "Girl, do you want me to leave?"
Su Nu was silent.
She took people in under such circumstances, so of course she couldn't afford to support her. But now the truth is revealed, her father is a Jinshi in the imperial court and a disciple of the emperor, and she is a lady from an official family. Even though her family is no longer an official,
He also has official status.
If his father were still alive, maybe one day the emperor would think of him on a whim, and there would be a chance to re-activate him. No matter how bold she was, Su Nu couldn't leave an official family member by her side.
But if her life experience were known to the Su family, and they knew that she was the daughter of an official who was implicated by Xue Rong, how could Su Shou tolerate her if he was afraid of wolves before and tigers behind?
Even if he didn't make a mistake, he would make a mistake. Then he would have to tear himself apart directly? This would affect her investigation plan!
She took out the original deed of sale and said warmly: "This is the one you signed as a pledge. It's not actually a deed of sale, and I didn't want to buy you as a maid. It was just for show.
"You are still free now. Think about it carefully. If you have relatives and friends who are trustworthy, I will entrust you to them. You are not worthy of your reputation in our family."
Aji looked at the piece of waste paper with her handprint on it, and his eye circles suddenly turned red. "The girl gave me money, took me from Zhou's house, gave me good food and clothing, and also let me study.
It turns out that writing is all about protecting me."
Su Nu turned his face away.
She was tempered by reality in her previous life and had little kindness. But she was also unable to do such heartless things. She couldn't stand it when a little girl was treated like that by Zhou and his wife!
Using wealth and power is the best way to make Zhou Zhou and his wife willing to cut off their relationship with her. Fifty taels of silver can save her from the pit of fire, so why be stingy?
"Girl!" Aji plopped, knelt on the footrest, and hugged her knees: "Don't send me away, don't let me go! I have no place to go, my mother doesn't want me anymore, and I don't want me either."
It's impossible to meet someone better than a girl! I can eat less in the future and don't need new clothes. Can you let me follow you?"
The little girl's tears fell softly. She raised her sleeves to wipe them away, and then looked at Su Nu with tearful eyes.
Su Nu took a deep breath and held his temples: "This is not about food and clothing at all..."
Can you explain it to her clearly? Tell her that in this family, she is not even welcomed by her biological father. Can she understand?
"Then I, I can be the girl's maid! I can serve the girl well!"
"You are the daughter of a Jinshi. You have a high status. How can you humble yourself in front of me? If your father's classmates or students find out about this, how can they have any dignity? Then one by one they will not be able to kill me.
Will Su Nu be scolded to death?"
Aji froze. He looked more like a lonely weed that couldn't stand the cold wind.
After Su Nu rubbed his temples a few times, he slapped the table: "Okay!"
Aji was frightened and came to his senses.
"You can stay if you want. But what I told you just now, about your life experience, you can't let anyone else know except you and me, including Su Qi!"
Aji stayed for a long time, and then he nodded his head seriously: "The girl is my benefactor. My parents have taught me that kindness should be repaid with springs. I don't know how to repay the girl, but at least
If you can do it, even if you kill me, I will never harm the girl!"
After she finished, she banged her head three times.
Su Nu stroked his forehead.
...it's over.
