Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 313

The second old man gave an order and planned to make preparations in secret.

He had already figured it out, let the fifth prince go out in person, it means that there must be a lot of mines, then it is impossible for the Su family to take care of it all, and it will only cause fire.

It would be nice to get a piece of it.

"Second brother, I heard that the fifth prince loves money, should we express it?"

The third old man meant something, and everyone present immediately turned their attention to the second old man.

The second old man's expression darkened suddenly, "The clan has been a little tight these past few years, and this matter was kept from the elder brother first, if the money of the clan is used, it may be difficult!"

"Second brother! Not to mention the fifth prince, even if this matter is completed later, it will cost a lot of money. I don't have that much money in my hands from the private account! You also know that my big family just opens their mouths. It needs to be used for food, drink, and flowers. Besides, this is beneficial to the whole clan, so there is no reason why the eldest brother should not work hard."

Let him pay for money, how much would it cost?The third old man was very unhappy.

The second old man was so angry that his chest heaved violently, "Your big family wants to eat and drink, but my big family doesn't want it?"

Looking at this younger brother, the second old man felt that the mud could not support the wall.

"And those nephews and grandnephews should also be taken care of. Among the younger generation, Sanfang doesn't even have an official in the court. If this continues, Sanfang will be left far behind by Dafang .”

Thinking that most of the younger generations of the elders far away in the capital stood up, the second old man felt sore, as if he had eaten sour vinegar from an old altar.

The second old man's words were not serious, and the three of Sanfang, father and son blushed immediately.

Especially Su Wenyue, the eldest son of Sanfang, after being admitted to Juren when he was a weak crown, he failed all three times. Therefore, he is still only a Juren and has not sought an official position.

Thinking about the long house again, except for Su Wenqing, all the children have official positions.Even the daughters who marry out of the family are from high families.

And among the grandchildren, it's even more serious.There are not only those who became famous at a young age, but there are even several who have achieved fame.

The study room suddenly fell silent, and the second old man also realized that he had slipped his words, so he hurriedly made amends.

"Our Su Clan is already down and out. If we don't plan any more, how much help will it be able to help future generations? Therefore, this matter must be accomplished, and there is no need to care about personal gains and losses. When this matter is completed, what should be given can still be given." Wouldn’t it be possible without you?”

In fact, the plan of the second old man was to leave the long house aside and let them do it.

Three house heads, can't this be done?When the long house gets the news, it's a done deal, so they won't be the ones to decide?
"Wen De's three-year term as the magistrate of Nandu Prefecture is about to expire. If we don't seize the opportunity, we may have to be re-elected for another three years. We can't keep relying on the long house! If Wen De can be promoted again, we will also be re-elected. Being able to break away from the shackles of the long house will also prevent the long house from always looking down on us."

Wende is the surname of Su Wenguang, the eldest son of the second old master. Nandu Prefecture can barely be regarded as a middle-level government, so Su Wenguang is still from the fourth rank.

It has been two consecutive terms, not to mention Su Wenguang, even the second old man is eager to let Su Wenguang climb up.

As he spoke, he stepped forward and patted Su Wenyue on the shoulder, "There is also Zilian, next year's exam is the opportunity. Once you pass the Jinshi exam, you will rise to the top. Now let's prepare for that day, right? "

Su Wenyue's heart suddenly moved, yes!For this test, I have prepared for so many years, and I have accumulated a lot of knowledge, so it is my turn to win.

Once you become a Jinshi, the paved road can just be used now, so why bother uncle?
If Su Yizhao was here, he would definitely admire him.

These two old masters are very eloquent, and the third old masters can't wait to pay for their money now.

"Let's get it together first, and we'll talk about the rest in the future. The accounts in the clan are not easy to balance. If you want to misappropriate it, you must spend some thought."

The third old master didn't make a sound anymore, which was a tacit agreement.

"Fifth Prince, there is nothing less and more." The second old man pondered for a moment, then stretched out three fingers.

"How much?" The third old master asked in a daze.

"3000 taels, explore the way."

Everyone at the scene gasped suddenly, and they were all shocked and speechless.

After Su Yizhao asked Xiangsi to send the note, he went to the second old man to inquire again. When he learned that before the meeting ended, the second old man and the others were going to bribe the fifth prince with 3000 taels, he immediately thought it was funny.

3000 taels is not too little for most officials.It's just that the fifth prince looks very greedy.

Last time in Chushan, the Fifth Prince was able to bring a few thousand taels of silver with him to buy paintings. It can be seen that 3000 taels is not enough for him.

However, the second old master refused to use the family's money, which made Su Yizhao a little surprised.

She didn't believe that the second old man hadn't reached out to the clan's account for so many years, unless there was something wrong with the clan's account and he couldn't pay so much money for a while.

Two days later, Su Jinxun, who was far away in the capital, finally received the news.

Pulling away the falcon's tail, he found a bunch of red feathers, and he quickly took off the small bamboo tube.

What important matter will Su Yizhao have that requires the use of falcons?

For this grandson, his heart is complicated.If you place too much importance on it, it is inevitable that people will not distinguish between descendants and concubines.

But Su Yizhao is indeed capable. If the family wants to prosper, it should not be so narrow-minded. They are all descendants of their own family. The good resources in the family have always been obtained by those who are capable, and the family members should not complain.

With a lot of thoughts, Su Jinxun opened the small note that was rolled up. When he saw the news in the note, he was shocked.

"Iron mine?" Su Jinxun immediately thought of the fifth prince who had already gone to Beiyuan Mansion, and the fourth prince and Jingan Shizi who were about to go to Lindai Mansion in Yibei Province.

Originally, he was suspicious, but now that he saw this note, he believed it.

"Su Huai! Let the boss and the third son come to the study to discuss matters!"

Su Jinxun yelled towards the door, then frowned and began to think.

The seventh day of September is the day when the township examination results are released.

On this day, the front of the tribute courtyard was crowded with people, it could be said that there was a turmoil of people.

Su Yizhao and Su Yijue did not go to the Gongyuan, but stayed in the mansion to wait for news.

Once won the election, there will be official messengers who announce the good news to come to congratulate, and there is no need to go in person.

What's more, Uncle Zhong was more anxious than the two of them, and sent someone to look at the list early in the morning.

Even the second old man and the others attached great importance to it, and they changed into festive clothes early and came to the old house.

"Is Xiqian ready?" Uncle Zhong pointed to a servant, his tone of excitement hard to hide.

In his heart, the two young masters will definitely win.

Although it is not known whether it is on the list, but the festive atmosphere in the mansion has already risen, and even the servants walk with the wind.

Su Yizhao is currently wearing strong clothes and practicing archery.

In terms of knowledge, she is naturally not bad, but when it comes to riding and shooting, she is much worse.

Even shooting three arrows missed the red heart, Su Yizhao did a visual inspection, and the best result was in the eighth ring.
