Jinghong Tower

Liu Xia shook her head: "After that nanny left, the He family started to quarrel. The old lady said that because of Miss He's background, it was her fate that she could go to a wealthy family like the Min family to be an aunt. She agreed to this. It's a marriage, but Miss He wants to marry as an adopted daughter.

Mr. He disagreed. He neither agreed to let Miss He be his concubine nor to change Miss He to an adopted daughter, so the old lady fell ill.

Think about it, it was at the inn, and their quarrel would be heard. Everyone knew that the old lady was angry with her own son, and Mr. He was so anxious that he knelt down in front of the old lady. "

He Ran regretted that she could not see such a lively show with her own eyes.

"Master He compromised?"

Come to think of it, Mr. He has an official status. This is the capital. The matter of his being angry with his mother will probably reach the ears of the censor. He is a civil servant who took the imperial examination and became an official. The word "unfilial" is suppressed. What? All futures are in ruins.

Liu Xia nodded: "I agreed, but Miss He was unwilling to accept it. She kept crying and crying, but it was not because she wanted to be an aunt, but because she didn't want to marry as an adopted daughter. Mr. He was very annoyed and walked out as soon as he rolled his sleeves. I They asked Mother Zhao to go to the Min family and finalize the marriage."

He Ran thinks that the old lady is really talented. If she goes to act, she must be at the level of a movie queen.

She called Jin Bo and asked her to go to Lao's house and tell Mrs. Shangguan that there was no need to suppress the matter.

The next day, Mr. He got the letter from the Ministry of Civil Affairs that there was a vacancy for a fellow magistrate in Songjiang Mansion. Regardless of his qualifications or rank, Mr. He was one of the most suitable candidates.

Since it is one of them, it means that of course there are other candidates who are as good as him.

There isn't much else in the court, just a lot of officials!

Wen Xuanlang looked at the file in his hand without raising his head: "Songjiang Mansion, whether you want to go or not, please give me a confirmation as soon as possible. This is the last time for the current magistrate, so the requirements for this candidate are very high, you know ?”

Mr. He was shocked. He understands, of course he understands!

He knew who the Songjiang prefect was. Like Lao Guanghuai, he was also a capable official with outstanding political achievements.

But he is younger than Lao Guanghuai. He is only thirty-five years old this year. At this age, as long as nothing unexpected happens, it is possible to join the cabinet and become the prime minister in ten years.

Mr. He seemed to have seen that he was a loyal member of this capable official. He first took over as the prefect, and then went to Beijing and rose to prominence.

It’s not that Mr. He thinks too much, because there have been such examples recently.

Lao Guanghuai has already appointed the position of Minister of Household Affairs. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces alone, there are dozens of officials who have changed due to his promotion. Otherwise, there would not be this vacancy of Tongzhi of Songjiang Prefecture. It is said that the previous Lord Tongzhi was going to be promoted to be the magistrate of Lu.

Mr. He was in a great mood. Songjiang Tongzhi knew that he would take this seat!

When Mr. He walked out of the Literary Selection Department, he was in high spirits. He found that others looked at him with more kindness. Everyone he knew and didn't know greeted him, and some even asked about his daughter's marriage.

"Master He, I heard that your daughter's marriage has been arranged? Congratulations!"

Mr. He's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Min family helped him get this vacancy in Songjiang Mansion?

That's right, Mr. He first thought of the Min family, not the Wu'an Hou Mansion.

Not only because of Wu'anhou's lukewarm attitude towards the He family, but also because Wu'anhou's family is a military general. Wu'anhou's house can fill this vacancy in Songjiang Prefecture, but it is definitely not that easy, but the Min family It's different. After all, it is the Empress Dowager's natal family. Mr. He did not dare to stay and walked out of the official department in a hurry.

Before today, although he had verbally agreed to the marriage between He Shuyuan and Min Weida in order to coax my mother, he was still reluctant in his heart. But now, his mind has changed.

Although He Shuyuan was his biological daughter, her status was not as good as that of other children, or even that fake He Ran.

Even if she is recorded in Yan's name, Yan is now a divorced woman, how high can He Shuyuan's status be?

When he arrives at Songjiang Mansion and settles down, he will ask someone to marry him.

Jiangnan is not as good as Zhending Mansion. It is a beautiful place with many famous families. If he can marry a noble daughter from a well-known family and have two or three legitimate sons and daughters, that will be the jade tree Zhilan of his He family.

Thinking of this, Mr. He felt that asking He Shuyuan to go to the Min family as an adopted daughter to be an aunt was actually a high request. After all, in today's Min family, not just anyone can be brought into the house.

What's more, the branch from which Min Weida came was very close to the Empress Dowager's natal family. Min Weida's grandfather and the Empress Dowager were cousins.

When he returned to the inn, he saw He Shuyuan waiting for him. Seeing her eyes red from crying and the sadness on her face, Mr. He no longer had the pity he had in the past. He said with a cold face: "I am living well." Yes, you are crying and wiping away your tears. Are you trying to curse me or your grandmother?"

He Shuyuan was startled. She never expected that her father, who had always loved her, would become like her grandmother, looking at her with disgust.

This is what is often said, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather?

But what kind of stepmother was Lu Hong'er? She was just an outsider, not even an aunt!

Mr. He left with a sigh. He wanted to discuss with the old lady to carry He Shuyuan into the Min family as soon as possible. He wanted to arrange the marriage before he took office. By then, when he arrived at Songjiang Mansion, he would have an extra layer. Identity, in-laws of the Min family!

How could He Shuyuan know what Mr. He was planning? She believed that Lu Hong'er was the one who was causing trouble and instigating the relationship between their father and daughter.

The sadness in He Shuyuan's eyes completely faded away, replaced by coldness.

Bitch, wait!

Master He called the three masters into the old lady's room, and the mother and son closed the door and began to whisper.

Lu Hong'er wanted to eavesdrop, but this was an inn and there were many people and she thought about it but didn't go.

Mrs. Ding also wanted to eavesdrop, but she was not in a hurry, the third master would tell her.

Mr. He told him about going to Songjiang Mansion, and the old lady immediately asked: "Let the third child go with you. When you first arrive in a different place, you should always have a few of your own people around you."

The third master is almost thirty and has no official position yet, so of course the old lady is anxious.

Mr. He didn't mean this, but he couldn't say it to death.

"My son also has this idea. Let me go there first to see what's going on there, and then let the third child bring his family there with him. You don't know that in these states in the south of the Yangtze River, various aristocratic families are intertwined. We If you go there rashly, no one knows which family you will disturb, and to put it bluntly, you won’t even know how you died.”

Mr. He San also feels the same way. The Jiangnan aristocratic family is not comparable to the small aristocratic families here in Beizhili.
