"Based on what you're saying, master Jiang's issue with Hou Que hasn't been settled yet?" In the mountain room, Madam Cao and Lady Qin were chatting while her maidservant, Parrott, very meaningfully poured tea for them.

"Isn't that so …" née Qin sighed, "Because I want to find an official in the capital. I've been busy from the year before to the year after … "Not at all."

The money used to make up the dishes was like flowing water. Just thinking about it made one's heart ache.

"The capital officials …" Madame Cao picked up the cup of sweet white porcelain tea in front of her. The newly brewed tea floated leisurely in the yellow-green tea soup. She blew lightly on the froth in the cup and absent-mindedly said, "I heard that this year's Ministry of Justice's Vice Minister Li put it out …"

Exposure?

Qin Shi's eyes lit up. Wasn't there a shortage of capital officials when they were released?

'But this Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice … ' There should be a lot of people watching, right? " The Qin family tried asking.

"Of course, of course. But who wouldn't be the one to go up? Isn't that one sentence from the Department of Public Affairs?" Mistress Cao put down the teacup with a disapproving look and smiled, "But your Third Master is different from the others. Didn't he also have a brother who was a Pavilion Elder? In this day and age, the favor of the seller is not being sold. "

"Sigh, how could this matter be so simple?" "If this elder from our family is willing to help, why would our master need to run and break his legs?"

"What is it? Hearing your words, Elder Jiang is unwilling to help you? " Madam Cao looked at née Qin in surprise.

The Qin family could only shake their heads with a wry smile. They couldn't just tell everyone about the Jiang family's rotten grains because once they found out the truth, they would despise them even more.

"However, if Elder Jiang is unwilling to help … "I have another way …" Mistress Cao lightly patted née Qin's hand and smiled. "I only mentioned this to my sister because I was fated to meet her. This Minister of the Ministry of Public Affairs is my family's brother …"

Listening to her, née Qin became more spirited and continued to expand her relationship with Madam Cao.

Thus, when Jiang Wan brought Jiang Shu out of the small forest, the Qin had yet to come out from Madam Cao's house.

Seeing Jiang Wan and Jiang Shu, who still had hay, dried leaves, and loose hair on their skirts, Lilac, Jasmine, Pearl, and Jadeite were both surprised and happy.

Delighted that the fourth and fifth miss had finally returned, shocked that they were both in such a sorry state.

"Fourth Miss, where did you and Fifth Miss go just now?" Clove's eyes were filled with tears, but she was still afraid. Because they lost their young miss, they were always on tenterhooks, afraid that the Qin family would find out and sell them out.

"We're not going to the back of the mountain for a stroll. There's nothing to worry about." After that, she instructed the rest of them to quickly fetch some water for her and Jiang Shu to wash up.

When née Qin came out of the mountain room with a smile on her face, Jiang Wan and Jiang Shu had already redone their washing.

When Madam Cao saw the two of them, she smiled and said to Madam Qin: "These two daughters of Madame Jiang really make me happy the more I see them."

After saying that, he took out two pure gold rings and gave them to the two of them. He smiled and said, "I didn't bring anything good either. This is for you two to wear and play with."

Jiang Shu happily accepted it. As for Jiang Wan, when she held the pure gold ring in her hand, she actually felt that it was a bit hot.

After bidding farewell to the Qin family at the temple, Madam Cao sat in the carriage of the Eight Treasures of the Eight Treasures, which had a smooth walk.

Although this third wife of the Jiang family seemed shrewd, she did not have any shrewdness about her. However, just by saying a few words to her that seemed to be kind, she would be able to take advantage of you. Furthermore, she could tell that this Mrs. Jiang did not have much connections in the capital. Although her family had a second uncle who was an elder and a royal concubine, these two would not be of much help. Although their family wasn't that high, they were still officials. However, they didn't have a powerful family backing them. Even if something were to happen in the future, there wouldn't be many people who would be able to help them.

Thinking about it, the corners of Madame Cao's mouth curled up. This kind of girl was naturally the best. Even if she were to encounter any problems in the future, she could only knock out her teeth and swallow them with blood.

It was perfect to be married to such a person.

Late at night, after she had washed up, née Qin, wearing a moon-white bamboo coat, sent a servant to sit beside Jiang Chuanzhong and talk about this matter.

"You mean there's a problem with the Board of Justice?" Jiang Chuanzhong, who was sitting on the brick bed with a book in hand, sat up. "But when I went to investigate yesterday, they told me there were no vacancies," he said curiously.

"Don't tell me you're being perfunctory?" With her hair in a bun, née Qin combed her hair with a pair of horns.

"I don't think so." The person he was looking for was of the same age as him. In fact, he didn't have much of a relationship with him, but he believed that since the other party had accepted his money, they should be able to help him with this matter.

However, when he heard the words of the Qin family, he was a little uncertain.

"Tell me …" Should we walk the path of the Marquis' Mansion? " "The person you're looking for is like a bottomless pit. It's been a few months and there's still no confirmation yet, so we can't hang ourselves on this tree!"

Jiang Chuanzhong was a bit tempted upon hearing this.

This was a fourth rank assistant minister of the Board of Punishments!

One had to know how many people had never been able to surpass the fourth grade in their entire lives.

"Why did this Madam Cao of the Marquis of Everlasting City suddenly bring up this matter?" For an ordinary woman in the inner chamber, who would go and ask about these things? " Jiang Chuanzhong put down the idle book in his hand and leaned forward to ask the Qin family, "It's a big taboo to entrust this matter to the second master."

How could the Qin family not understand the logic behind this? If they entrusted this matter to the second master, who could be considered to have done it? If they couldn't do it, then it would be easier to blame each other.

"Isn't this what you talked about with Mrs. Cao?" née Qin looked at Jiang Chuanzhong with a slightly blaming look, then whispered, "I heard that their family wants to find a good family's daughter to be their daughter-in-law …"

"Good family?" Jiang Chuanzhong raised an eyebrow. "The capital is filled with officials and nobles. Don't tell me they can't find a good family?" And then this good thing just happened to fall on your head? "

"Why can't you just smash it on my head?" The Qin family glared unhappily and said complacently, "I fought for the chance to smash my head! "Don't forget that you have a daughter who is a concubine in the Crown Prince's Palace. If you can marry our daughter, you will be engaged to the Crown Prince. When the Crown Prince becomes king, you will be considered a relative of the royal family!"
