seek the world

Chapter 116
Su Nancheng was able to be promoted so quickly and transferred to the city defense battalion in one fell swoop, this is indeed something that the Su family did not expect.

too fast.

Su Jincheng became an official at the age of 17, and he has only achieved the experience of the Metropolitan Procuratorate until now, and he is only a seventh-rank.

He is 25 this year.

That's good to know it's fast.How many scholars have achieved more than 25 fame in the scientific examination.I don't know how many years it will take to get to the seventh rank.

Some people will stop at a seventh grade in their whole life.

Su Nancheng became an official at the age of 14, and now he is not yet sixteen, and he is already at the sixth rank.

The sixth rank is a hurdle. It was said before that some people could not break through the seventh rank in their lifetime.

It is possible to break through, and it is another hurdle to reach the sixth grade.

Further up, there is a hurdle for the fifth rank, and a hurdle for the third rank.

In less than two years, Su Nancheng is about to touch the first hurdle.

How not to surprise the Su family?
Fortunately, his aunt passed away, otherwise Feng would be nervous.There is a capable concubine, and his aunt is bound to lose face in front of the master.

Following the news back to the Su family, the Su family was about to prepare a table for him.

Cheng Kanghou called Su Nancheng to talk in the study in the front yard alone, which is a rare thing.

"It's a good thing that His Majesty is promoting you now. However, the relationship between the city defense battalion is complicated. The commander of the city defense battalion, Wang Taolue, is capable. I can't tell, but he has been able to hold this position for more than ten years, so he is not an ordinary person. Although he is of ordinary background , but very resourceful.”

"At the beginning, Xie Qi was so valued by His Majesty, but he couldn't replace him."

Xie Qi is unusual, his Xie family is originally a nobleman.

When his grandfather was an official.His father was His Majesty's childhood companion.

Now there is an earl in the family too.Xie Qi is a person whom His Majesty cares deeply about.

"Yes, grandson thought, His Majesty may want to put someone who can feel at ease in the city defense camp. Now that grandson is gone, he is only a sixth rank, and can't do anything. What happens in the future depends on grandson himself. There is just one thing , grandson listened to what His Majesty meant, but he didn't really want to ask grandson to join the Third Prince's side."

Su Nancheng took the opportunity to say.

"It's natural. Although your official position is still low now, you can bring a few people with you. It's very different from before, so naturally you can't participate at will. You are still young and don't understand many things. You must know that the emperor's grace is the most difficult thing to figure out. Our Su family is already extremely glorious, you must not offend others because of your pride and complacency."

"Yes, my grandson has remembered." Su Nancheng said.

"Well, I think you are a sensible person. It's good to be able to stabilize yourself. When the transfer order comes down, you still have to go to the palace to thank you in person. Your Majesty has given you privileges, so you have to use them in a dignified place. What is it like to be humble and loyal in front of His Majesty?" It's not too much." Cheng Kanghou pointed out.

Su Nancheng responded: "Yes, grandson remembered what grandfather said."

"That's good. Now that you've been promoted, you probably need to take care of it. I'll ask the accountant to withdraw two thousand silver for you. You can use it. If it's not enough, let's talk about it later."

"Thank you grandfather, that's enough." Su Nancheng said.

After leaving the front yard, before Su Nancheng could go back, he saw the old lady approaching his mother.

This is enough to save face.

"Congratulations to Seventh Young Master."

"You're being polite to Mom, please come and sit in the yard."

We are almost at the Indus Courtyard.

"No, no, it's just right when we meet. The old lady holds a banquet in the main courtyard at night to celebrate the seventh son's promotion. After a while, the whole family will come. The old slave is also going elsewhere. Seventh son, don't miss the time."

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, grandma. I went to talk to grandma early in the morning." Su Nancheng said.

Cheng Ming went to support Xiang's mother: "You have worked hard, where are you going? The little one will give you a piece."

While talking, he stuffed two taels of silver.

It was still in the morning when Su Nancheng went back to Wutong Courtyard, it was still early before the banquet.

Dongmei and the others were all smiling. They had congratulated them early in the morning, and they all received rewards.

Seeing Dongmei and Qiuju coming up to serve her, Su Nancheng reached out and squeezed Dongmei's face.

Although she didn't say anything, Qiu Ju already smiled teasingly.

She thinks her son is really interesting.

In other words, among the four girls who served her closely, Xia He was the older one.

Aren't the other three newcomers?

In terms of beauty, Chunying is even more beautiful than Dongmei.

Not bad myself.

And the two rewarded by the imperial concubine are also beautiful.

But the young master only teased Dongmei, and from the few words he usually said, he knew that the young master not only teased Dongmei, but he might also take over the house in the future.

This feeling made the girls feel a little envious and at the same time feel at ease.

Envy is that someone like Young Master didn't like him?

An Xin is that a person like Young Master is not a lustful person.

In the afternoon, Su Nancheng went to talk with the old lady early.

Today is his home game, so naturally no one will come to compete with him at this moment.

Back house girl, what are you talking about?I don't understand the affairs of the previous dynasty, so I can only care about it in life.

So we talked about Su Nancheng's roommate.

"You didn't like the two rewards from the imperial concubine? Why did I listen, but they didn't serve you? If you don't like it, grandma will just find you a few more."

"No, my grandson just thinks that I'm still young, so there's no need to be like this now. It will be troublesome when I get married in the future." Wouldn't it be harmful to have an eldest son?
"You are thoughtful, but they are willing to serve you. If it is not safe, use soup and medicine." The old lady said.

Su Nancheng nodded yes, feeling very speechless.

If it was the original Su Nancheng, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong with this.But Su Nancheng, who has been to another world for more than ten years, felt that this was a bit cruel.

It's not easy for a girl these days, why bother to come here?

If you are really lonely, why not go to a brothel girl?Anyway, that's what people do.

Su Nancheng didn't refute what the old lady said, and in the end the old lady still wanted to give him two maids.

Su Nancheng also picked it up, anyway, he had his own thoughts.

The two girls are named Fu Liu and Hong Yan, but they are both pretty.

The old lady was also satisfied when she saw that he had accepted someone.

When the time was almost up, everyone came to the main courtyard one after another.Su Nancheng kept laughing, his cheeks hurt.

During the whole banquet, it could be seen that Su Jincheng's smile was somewhat forced.

Su Yicheng was also a little insincere.

White Peacock thought he was the same as the seventh brother before, but in a blink of an eye the seventh brother was promoted.He had nowhere to put his bad heart.

On the contrary, Su Yingqu was happy. Of course he was happy that his son was promising.

After finally getting through the night, the order came early the next morning.

Su Nancheng immediately entered the palace to thank him. Besides thanking him, he also asked for one more thing.

It was to tell the emperor euphemistically that I have to move out of the Marquis Mansion, and now that I have entered the city defense camp, I have to patrol at night, so it is better to live outside for peace of mind.

This is a face-saving talk, and the inside is that if I want to be used by you, I have to live outside.
