Sun Pu's words were ironic, but they were not right. How could he win over senior high school students? There were not many senior high school students in the past years. When they received the articles from talented scholars, they would first select them and then present them to the emperor.

Although such a move will not affect the fairness of the examination, if you can get the emperor's appreciation in advance, and the general examination can still be held in high school, then the emperor will look at him differently during the imperial examination. This is also the ultimate goal of all the talented people, but it is good to show a face in front of the emperor.

But where is the prime minister's office? Ning Xiang has always been fair and just, and he can never win over anyone in private. Su Yi was very unhappy after hearing this, and directly retorted: "this may not be the meaning of my father-in-law. The prime minister's office has never met talented people in private under a banquet outside the building."

Sun Pu did not change his face. He brushed his sleeve and said, "Su Yi, if you don't believe it, there is no way to do it. My father-in-law has indeed given me this job, and the articles I carefully selected can be sent directly to the imperial library. Whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with you."

Sunpu got up and went out, but Su Yi felt more and more bad. What did Sunpu want to do? The article he picked out was not fair enough, and his father-in-law could not have handed it to him.

Fu Hong and Zheng Zerui also heard something wrong, so they didn't want to drink in the restaurant any more, but went straight to the prime minister's office.

Su Yi is waiting in the study of the prime minister's office, while Fu Hong and Zheng Zerui are in front of the lobby.

After hearing that Su Yi was waiting for him in his study, he came in a hurry.

"But my father-in-law gave sun Pu the job of selecting talented scholars?"

Su Kaiyi.

Ning Xiang heard this, pause for a moment, then nodded, "yes, I gave him the job."

If sun Pu had not said a year ago that he wanted to be with him like Su Yi, he would not have given it to him. Ning Xiang paid more attention to Su Yi's talent. For sun Pu, the son-in-law, when his daughter had to marry him, Ning Xiang knew that sun Pu was not a simple man and was good at scheming.

Now, sun Pu thought of this matter, but he was sad again.

Su Yi still couldn't believe the answer. He looked at Ning Xiang and said for a moment, "father-in-law, you know that the emperor was very poor. Last year's military examination and this year's literary examination were all things that the emperor had mentioned many times. So if the articles written by the talented scholars of this year can enter the emperor's eyes, even if they fail in the examination, they will certainly be reused."

Su Yi and Ning Xiang stayed with the emperor all the time. Although the crown prince took over the affairs of the imperial examination, if the emperor mentioned the imperial examination many times in front of them, Ning Xiang knew that the emperor attached great importance to it.

At this time, Ning Xiang heard Su Yi's words, and his face was dignified. "Are you afraid sun Pu is biased?"

"No, I'm worried that he will damage his father-in-law's reputation. I heard that Lord Fu has already selected three articles and sent them to the imperial library. Sometimes, the articles selected by the Lord are full of talents this year. The competition must be fierce, but the articles before the examination are particularly important. My father-in-law is the Prime Minister of a country, but he is ordered by thousands of people."

What Su Yi was worried about was not something that Ning Xiang didn't think about. He really devoted himself to Su Yi's son-in-law in recent years. So he was determined to make up for his eldest son-in-law, so he said, "don't worry, sun Pu won't. He'll have discretion. If such things can't be done well, there's no need to talk about big things."

Su Yi had to suppress his worries and stayed in the prime minister's mansion for a long time before he went back.

In the next few days, sun Pu, representing Ning Xiang's selection of gifted scholars, came out. For a time, sun's house was very busy. Many people came to give gifts all day long. However, he was very happy to see his wife. His son was really a good official. Now he was chased by these talented scholars and sent gifts to his family.

Sun Pu, the front foot, asked the housekeeper to return the gift, while the old man put the gift into the Treasury. After a few days, the old lady counted the money in the account book and kept smiling all day long.

Ning Caiqi daily to old lady sun, morning and dusk, serve old lady sun.

This day, Ning Caiqi came over and heard Mrs. sun ask the housekeeper at the door. She said that the storehouse was too small to accept any gifts. Mrs. sun decided to ask someone to tear down the West courtyard and build a warehouse for temporary storage. So she sent craftsmen to start work.

The housekeeper came out of the house and saw the strange looking young lady at the door. She was frightened. She immediately saluted and was about to step down. Ning Caiqi called out, "wait a minute. How come someone suddenly gives a gift to your family? Who sent them? "

As soon as the housekeeper's face changed, he stammered and hesitated. He did not dare to speak. He stood with his head down and did not dare to leave by force.

When Mrs. sun heard the sound outside, she was immediately upset and called out, "what is your daughter-in-law asking outside? No matter what, come in soon. "

Ning Caiqi was named by her mother-in-law. She was uncomfortable. She never gave her face in front of the servants of sun's mansion. However, she could not refute it. She had to enter the hall and the housekeeper left quickly.

It is said that the housekeeper and most of the servants of the sun's house were arranged by the Ning family. However, they all went to the sun's family from when. The old man would not come to tell the young lady what he said.Ning Caiqi went in and saw her mother-in-law sitting on the main seat, holding a heater in her arms, and now she was looking at her with sharp eyes.

"Why, as an old lady of sun's mansion, I can't even arrange the servants in the mansion? Every day I ask you to come to make sure that you are a daughter-in-law in my sun's family, not your capital's daughter-in-law. Let go of your bad temper and arrogance in the past, serve me well and be filial to me. That's what you should do. "

Sun Laofu's face is dignified. After staying in the capital for so many years, she no longer swears rudely like she did in the countryside. She also knows how to detour.

Ning Caiqi listened to her mother-in-law's words, and her heart was very depressed. However, she did not attack, so she had to go forward and salute her mother-in-law.

Old lady sun began to lecture. Talking about the several shops that Ning's dowry had brought, she asked Ning Caiqi to go out of the door and take back the rent. Otherwise, there would be no rice in the sun's house.

In addition, he also said that the dowry given by the Ning family was too small to support the sun's family. Now, with so many mouths in the sun's house, they were looking at that little rent, and they were very miserable.

Mrs. sun always complains about this every once in a while. Ning Caiqi has heard many times, but every time she hears it, she is extremely aggrieved. This time, she said, "mother-in-law, I have a lot of renters. Besides, my husband's salary. If the elder brother and sister-in-law can be more diligent, they will not be able to make ends meet in the west end courtyard We have to feed with our money. "

As soon as he heard this, Mr. Sun's face changed. He patted the table and said angrily, "what do you mean? You mean the big house used your money. They are your elder brother and sister-in-law. If they had not taken care of Pu'er in those years, you would not have been able to live up to you today. You can say that with such a little money."
