"I have been busy with official duties today and have not inquired about their family affairs. What else do you know?"
Jia Chengping sat down and drank the tea poured by Mrs. Jia.
"Master Chiang was sentenced to exile in the army, and both Mrs. Rong and Miss Jiang were sentenced to official slaves. As for several men of the Jiang family, they were also sold as slaves."
"Don't interfere in this matter."
"How can I get involved? Is it possible that I want to buy them home? I don't have such a relationship with them." Mrs. Jia said, "But I heard that Mrs. Gong has this intention."
In the past, Mrs. Gong and Mrs. Rong were always at odds with each other. Before Mu Siyu came, Mrs. Rong always targeted Mrs. Gong. This created a problem, the Jiang family was in trouble, Mrs. Rong became a slave from a noble lady, and Mrs. Gong
How could you not take action?
"There is also her daughter Jiang Zi. There are many people who want to buy her this time! Most of them are just to vent their anger."
"So, even if you don't make friends, as long as you don't offend anyone, you can see Mr. Jiang, as long as his wife is a good person, there might be someone who can help him deal with it."
After the Jiang family's case was settled, Jiang Fengyang and several of his sons were taken to the border as slaves.
Mrs. Rong and Jiang Zi were also put up for auction.
The two were official slaves and could not be redeemed. However, the nobles could buy them back as slaves.
Mrs. Rong was bought first, and it was Mrs. Gong who bought her.
At this time, Mrs. Rong was in a state of disarray. Seeing that she had fallen into the hands of her former enemy, her face was ashen.
Next is Jiang Zi.
Several little sisters were vying to buy Jiang Zi. After all, Jiang Zi was very domineering in the past, and now these ladies also wanted to taste what it was like to be served by Jiang Zi. Unfortunately, it was not their turn, because Jiang Zi was targeted by Chu Jixiu, and she directly
Bought back by Chu Jixiu.
When Jiang Zi saw that Chu Jixiu had bought her, she didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and was still complacent. The two had been engaged before, and she thought the other party couldn't let her go.
Some families are happy and some are sad. The death of the Jiang family did not affect the happiness of the Lu family.
Lu Yi was promoted, and Mu Siyu posted a message to invite her close friends to celebrate. However, as soon as her message was posted, more people came to give gifts than expected.
In addition to the posts she made, there are also many people who have not posted them to send gifts.
Now that the other party's gift had been delivered, it would be inappropriate for her not to leave a post, so she posted a large number of posts.
Mu Siyu only thought that she was a junior official who wanted to curry favor with the senior official. It wasn't until she posted the post that she realized that Lu Yi, the minister of Dali Temple, was more valued than she thought.
In the capital, the threshold for nobles from some aristocratic families is extremely high, and they are usually inaccessible. These families only hang out with those in their own circle, and are dismissive of new officials. However, this time Mu Siyu received nearly half of the
A gift from a noble family.
"Who sent this gift?" Mu Siyu found an extra gift in front of the desk.
"It was sent by Ruan Dong's family, the 'only family' across the street." Zi Su said.
"This Ruan Dong family is really mysterious." Ziyuan said from the side. "You can't see him often. He is gone for several days."
"This is nothing strange." Mu Siyu said, "I see that their business is doing well and they have branches in other places. He must have to deal with other things! Just like me, I have to deal with things in the store.
, and I have to be responsible for Zhuangzi’s affairs, and sometimes I travel here and there.”
"Too."
"Grind it for me. I want to write a letter to my mother and tell her about Mr. Lu's promotion." Mu Siyu said.
"There is also the happy news that my wife is pregnant again."
"We will discuss this matter later." Mu Siyu said, "It's still early in the month, and with her temperament, she has to worry about me, so there is really no need."
"Madam, come and see..." Zisu stood in front of the window and looked outside, calling Mu Siyu in a low voice.
Mu Siyu took a closer look and saw Lu Xuan passing by with a woman on the street. He then sent the woman to the carriage before turning around and leaving.
"Who is that woman?" Ziyuan asked, "Looking at the way she is dressed, she doesn't look like someone from here."
"It is indeed not like the people here." Zisu looked at Mu Siyu, "Madam, did the second master say that?"
"No." Mu Siyu shook her head, "Maybe it's just a girl I know. The two of them don't have any intimate movements, so don't think too much."
Mu Siyu didn't let the girls think about it, but she was already gossiping in her heart.
As a single official, Lu Xuan had many people coming to ask for her hand in marriage. She had a sister-in-law like a mother, so more people came to her. However, after asking Lu Xuan about his attitude, she turned them away.
Next, Mu Siyu took Lu Zhiyun to start arranging the banquet.
There is only half a month left, time is tight, and there are still many things to worry about.
Jiang Yimeng was transferred by her to take charge of the overall situation.
"Madam, do we really want to renovate the yard? We only have half a month, can we make it in time?" Jiang Yi dreamed of the schedule written by Mu Siyu and had doubts.
"Do you have any misunderstandings about the craftsmen of our 'Dream Home'?" Mu Siyu said, "I said they can, they can. You only need to give us three days, and we will definitely let you see the brand new house. However,
Well, we have to be busy reorganizing the house in the past three days, but you can't have any free time. Whether it is ingredients or drinking utensils, they must be as I wrote."
"Madam, just don't worry, I will definitely not betray your trust."
Lu Yi found Mu Siyu with the letter and said with a smile: "You have to prepare a place."
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Wen is coming to the capital." Lu Yi said.
"Brother Wen means..." Mu Siyu looked at him, "Wen Wensong?"
"right."
"Isn't he the county magistrate?"
"I will be transferred to the capital soon to be a capital official," Lu Yi said.
"You did it?"
"It was up to him to do his best. I gave him some tips, and he did it, and it was easy to transfer him." Lu Yi said, "There are too few available people around me. Although there are many who came to me, they volunteered.
, but cannot be trusted.”
"I heard that Mr. Wen got married to Xiao Yun'er's senior sister." Mu Siyu said, "This generation is really chaotic."
Lu Yi laughed.
Wen Wensong arrived in Beijing three days in advance.
He did not have a house in the capital and lived in Lu Mansion.
Lu Zhiyun saw Huo Yunxiu and asked her many questions about the 'Weaver Girl Pavilion'. When she learned that Fan Yu finally gave up his obsession and married Zuo Yunhu, she was happy for her from the bottom of her heart.
In the study, Lu Yi introduced the situation of various departments to Wen Wensong.
"If you go to Dali Temple with me, you will definitely go smoothly with me in charge. But in this way, you will lose some training. If you go to other departments, you will definitely be made things difficult. I have many enemies here. On the surface
There are many people who are polite to me, but secretly want to kill me. You came to my mansion as soon as you entered the capital, and you have been recognized as my person. If you go to other places, you will be easily squeezed out."
