Ye Chengli suddenly felt better when he saw how quickly she agreed: "It's rare for you to return to your parents' home, and my uncle is on duty at the Ministry of Household Affairs. I can't let you go back to your home alone like this. I'll ask your eldest brother to take you back."
...
Ye Qinglan hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "My daughter appreciates my father's kindness. However, my eldest brother must be very tired these days because he is busy entertaining relatives and friends, so there is no need to bother him..."
"What kind of trouble is this?" Ye Chengli couldn't help but take over the conversation: "As an elder brother, it is natural for him to give his sister a ride. If he dares to feel tired, I will break his legs!"
Ye Qinglan: "..."
Ye Chengli obviously misunderstood Ye Qinglan's reaction, and said gently: "Lan'er, your biological mother passed away early. Over the years, your mother has indeed done something wrong with you. However, Yuanzhou is your biological brother, and he always wants to
I support you as my sister. If he neglects you in the slightest, I will be the first to spare him."
Hearing these heart-warming words, Ye Qinglan was finally moved. She stopped saying anything and just nodded obediently.
Yes, no matter what kind of grievances the original owner and Ye Yuanzhou had in their previous lives, the two of them were always biological brothers and sisters who were related by blood. Such a bond could never be entangled in this life. No matter how much she wanted to avoid it, she couldn't.
He avoided seeing Ye Yuanzhou all his life.
Since we can't avoid facing it, we might as well take this opportunity to observe and see what Ye Yuanzhou's current situation is...
After being fully mentally prepared, Ye Qinglan and Ye Yuanzhou looked extremely calm when they sat in the carriage together.
Ruixue and Ruomei both knew what was going on, and their spirits tightened involuntarily, looking at Ye Yuanzhou as if facing a formidable enemy.
Ye Qinglan laughed dumbly and winked at the two maids calmly, indicating that they didn't need to be so nervous.
Ye Yuanzhou seemed to have noticed something was wrong with the maid, and glanced at the two maids with some displeasure: "Why do you two know so little about the rules? How can you look at your master like this?"
The two maids did not dare to argue, so they responded obediently and lowered their heads. However, their ears stood up involuntarily.
It was quiet in the carriage. Only the creaking sound of the wooden wheel rolling across the road could be heard, as well as the slight sound of breathing. Ye Qinglan's expression was calm and serene. Ye Yuanzhou's face was calm and his attitude was indifferent.
Ye Qinglan observed calmly for a long time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the hypnotic effect was good. Ye Yuanzhou did not think of any past events. The moment of absence yesterday was probably due to a daze or something...
Just as he was thinking about it, Ye Yuanzhou looked over.
The two people's eyes touched slightly, and then they looked away.
After another moment, Ye Yuanzhou opened his mouth and said: "Third sister, my father should have told you already! In a few days, I will report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and wait to fill the vacancy. However, most of the things in this officialdom are
You have to rely on management, otherwise it will be difficult to get a good official position. According to the convention, I, a second-grade Jinshi, can only get an official position from the seventh grade at most. I don’t have too high expectations for this, but the place I want to go to most is
Hanlin Academy. If my brother-in-law is willing to take care of things for me, it might be easier. So..."
Hearing this, Ye Qinglan suddenly realized. It seemed that Ye Chengli had said the same thing before.
"Brother, I don't know much about things in the court, and I don't know how difficult it is to get into the Hanlin Academy." Ye Qinglan took over the words obviously: "I will ask my husband when I get back tonight if he can come out.
Shangli will definitely help. If he can't do anything, then I can't do anything either. I've said it before. I hope my brother won't be offended."
Ye Qinglan was willing to express his position like this, and Ye Yuanzhou was already very satisfied. He smiled quickly and said: "How can I be surprised? You are out of touch when you say such things to your eldest brother. No matter whether the matter is successful or not, as long as my brother-in-law is willing to help, I am already very grateful.
Already."
With the princeling's current momentum and Gu Xinian's current status, with some help, the possibility of entering the Hanlin Academy is at least 70% to 80%.
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled. Then, the carriage became quiet again.
Thinking about it, it is inevitable. Putting aside Ye Yuanzhou's twisted thoughts, she and Ye Yuanzhou are half-brothers and sisters. With such a relationship, if they get along well, they may get closer. Being lukewarm like now is also
It's really normal. Moreover, Ye Yuanzhou seems to have become colder since he was hypnotized. Even his sister Ye Qingfu is not warm to him. What's more, she is a concubine sister?
This silence lasted until Duke Dingguo's mansion.
The moment Ye Qinglan got off the carriage, Ye Yuanzhou also breathed a sigh of relief. Without getting off the carriage, he said goodbye and went back home.
Ye Qinglan watched the carriage go away happily, and then entered the mansion. The first thing she did was, of course, go to Jing Xinyuan.
Mrs. Zheng had been waiting for a long time. When she saw her coming back, she did not rush to ask about what was on her mind. Instead, she asked with a smile: "Were there many guests there yesterday?" This question was very subtle, but it was actually a disguised question.
Has Chang Yuan Bo Mansion been affected?
Ye Qinglan responded with a smile: "All my relatives and friends are here, and many of my eldest brother's classmates and friends are also here. It's very lively."
Mrs. Zheng smiled and nodded, and then asked: "Have you met your eldest aunt?"
"I saw it." Ye Qinglan quickly recounted the conversation between the two: "...The eldest aunt said that although she was affected a little, it was not serious. This little storm, Zheng Guogong's Mansion still
Withstand it.”
These obvious words of comfort made Mrs. Zheng take a long breath of relief and murmured: "That's good, I feel relieved."
As evening approached, Gu Xinian also returned to his home. As usual, he had dinner at Jing Xinyuan, chatted with his parents for a while, and then returned to Izuyunxuan.
When Ye Qinglan spoke to Gu Xinian, he didn't go around in circles and simply said what Ye Chengli said at that time.
"Want to go to the Hanlin Academy?" Gu Xinian thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "It seems that my uncle is a very ambitious person." Although the Hanlin Academy is not high-ranking, it is a close official of the emperor. If he can do it
A scholar of the Hanlin Academy, who was noble and had the right to speak on court affairs, was also the only way to join the cabinet and become the prime minister. Ye Yuanzhou wanted to enter the Hanlin Academy, so he was obviously very enterprising in his official career.
Thinking further, Gu Xinian was a staunch princeling, and Ye Yuanzhou was Gu Xinian's uncle, so he had a relationship with the prince's faction. In the future, when the prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, Ye Yuanzhou's career will of course be smoother.
Obviously, Ye Yuanzhou has taken this relationship into consideration, so he opened this mouth to Ye Qinglan. It is impossible for him to refuse such a request, both emotionally and rationally!
Seeing Gu Xinian's meaningful smile, Ye Qinglan thought for a moment in silence, and soon figured out the mystery. Ye Yuanzhou wanted to get on the prince's side through Gu Xinian...
"If you feel embarrassed, then forget it." Ye Qinglan said calmly: "I don't have close contact with my mother's family anyway. Whether I can help or not, it doesn't have any impact on me."
Gu Xinian laughed: "Silly girl, what are you talking about? This is just a matter of words to me. I will just go and say hello to the officials. After all, he is my serious uncle, help this
I'm not only busy for you, but also for myself. As my uncle, I will be more popular when I visit you in the future. Besides, even if I don't do this favor, as long as your eldest brother enters the official career, he will definitely be regarded because of my relationship.
For the prince's party. Under such circumstances, this favor should not be wasted."
His tone was very relaxed, as if entering the Hanlin Academy was as easy as eating cabbage.
Ye Qinglan didn't know much about officialdom and couldn't help but ask: "Is it really just a matter of saying something?"
...Of course it's impossible! Even if we have a good relationship with each other, we still have to spend money when it's time to take care of things. Treating guests to drinks and giving gifts and so on are unspoken rules in official circles. This kind of thing has been the same throughout the ages.
Gu Xinian didn't want to say more, and smiled lightly: "Okay, you don't have to worry about this, just leave it to me."
I don’t know what Gu Xinian did in private. In short, a few days later, after Ye Yuanzhou reported to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he soon learned that he had been assigned to the Hanlin Academy and became a Hanlin Academy editor.
Needless to say, Ye Yuanzhou was very happy and excited when his wish came true. Ye Chengli was also very happy. Xue also changed his past indifference and prejudice towards Ye Qinglan and took the initiative to discuss with Ye Chengli: "This time Yuanzhou can enter the Hanlin Academy, thanks to
My aunt is here to help. Although the family doesn’t need to use those false gifts, we still want to express our gratitude. If you give me money or something, my aunt will definitely not accept it. Why don’t you invite my aunt and Sister Lan back home for a meal?"
Ye Chengli nodded approvingly: "Okay, I'll do as you say." After a pause, he smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to take the initiative to hold a banquet for Lan'er and my uncle."
Mr. Xue said with a smile: "Master said this because he meant to make me ashamed! It's my fault that I didn't speak and act thoughtfully in the past. I will definitely change it in the future." This sentence was said in a decent way, but it was missed in the next sentence.
He said: "From now on, when Yuan Zhou enters the Hanlin Academy, he will need my uncle's support in many places. This time I have to talk to my uncle carefully."
...If you say it so frankly, what should you do directly? It’s snobbish! It’s so snobbish!
Ye Chengli glanced at Mrs.
Mrs.
That's pretty much it! Ye Chengli was about to nod and smile when he heard Mrs.
Just run an errand and do something serious."
