At night, after Hua Jun came back at midnight, the whole family gathered in the living room and had dinner happily. Shu Jinxuan said goodbye to the Hua family. Thinking about the doubts in his heart, he decided to personally escort Yan Huaqing back home.
On the way, Shu Jinxuan first apologized politely to his cousin for the previous misunderstanding, and then asked directly, "I heard that Mr. Yan has now entered the prefecture, why didn't he go back to Beijing with Mr. Shangguan yesterday?
Did you choose to stay in Jiangling City with my cousin?"
Yan Huaqing leaned in the corner of the carriage and lazily looked at the dandy boy in front of him who was the same as himself. He heard what he meant and smiled knowingly: "Second Young Master Shu, you might as well tell me why I want to approach your cousin."
Come on?"
"Oh, this is indeed where I am confused."
Seeing through his thoughts, Shu Jianxuan explained in embarrassment: "My Rujin family has indeed become more popular recently, but it is not enough to endanger Mr. Yan's prestige. I don't think Mr. Yan will care about a daughter's family, right?"
"What did Mr. Shu say? It's too late for me to appreciate your cousin."
Yan Huaqing waved his hand carelessly, but Shu Jinxuan became more and more confused as he listened, and even felt a little panic in his heart: "Isn't it Mr. Yan?"
"Don't think so wildly."
Yan Huaqing hurriedly interrupted him: "To be honest, I am about to go to the north to join the army. Before leaving, I wanted to find a right-hand man for Lord Shangguan. Your sister's talent, knowledge and character are exactly the candidate I like."
There was no mention of Ye Chengwei in the words.
"I see."
Shu Jinxuan suddenly felt much more at ease.
Hearing him mention the matter of surrendering to the army, thinking that he was currently working hard to obtain fame, he became interested for a moment and quickly asked: "How could Mr. Yan think of joining the army?"
Yan Huaqing smiled faintly and said: "Now that the war in the north is rising again, it is a great opportunity for me to make contributions and serve the imperial court. You said that I can be regarded as a civilized and military strategist. Why not join the army to kill the enemy?"
"Although I have little talent and knowledge, I am also proficient in some medical sciences. I wonder if Mr. Yan would take me with him?"
Shu Jinxuan was very excited after hearing this, and began to plan to join him in joining the army. By then, with military merit in the army, he would be able to return home in fine clothes and marry his cousin.
Yan Huaqing was shocked by his idea: "Your brother has now been admitted to the Imperial Hospital. As long as Mr. Shu makes a little effort to follow your ambition, he will have a bright future sooner or later. Why follow me to the bitter cold in the northwest?"
The land is plagued by hardships and dangers.”
"Although I am not as civilized and military as Mr. Yan, I still have a heart to serve the country. I will naturally suffer the physical pain of being loyal to the court."
Shu Jinxuan replied swornly.
"In that case, I will help Second Young Master Shu find a position as a medical officer in the army in Mobei. Then Second Young Master, please don't break the appointment."
"Thank you very much. I will definitely live up to Mr. Yan's kindness."
The two reached a tacit understanding, and after arriving at the Yan family's residence, they each said goodbye.
Hua Rujin settled down Ni Ni in the west wing room, and after tidying up Mr. Wei's guest room in the front yard, she returned to the master bedroom. Hua Junnian, Cai Baiwei and his wife started to surround them with their two little beans.
She asked for help.
"I have heard a lot of things in the county government these days. Magistrate Wen committed an unforgivable crime and died in Jiang'an County. As many as ten officials were affected, and even Mr. Ye was implicated.
"
Hua Junnian looked at his daughter worriedly and asked: "Rujin, I heard that Mr. Ye has been very close to you during this period. Is this true?"
"We just investigated a few cases together, so we can't be considered very close."
Hua Rujin replied ambiguously.
After all, the two families had divorced, so it was not easy for Hua Junnian to see through his thoughts.
"That's good, that's good."
Hua Junnian finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded repeatedly and said: "Although Mr. Ye is kind to our family, he has offended His Majesty and the powerful people in the capital this time. You still have to draw a clear line with him to avoid criticism.
"
After thinking about it, he immediately discussed with Cai Baiwei: "Now that I have gone to the county school to teach, Rujin has become famous. No one dares to look down on our family anymore. Chen Jiaoyu is still telling me today that he wants to replace
The second son of his family wants to marry Rujin. It’s rare that their family doesn’t dislike Rujin’s past. They say they want a man with three matchmakers and six beauties to marry Rujin as his wife. I think this will dispel the rumors in the city.”
Cai Baiwei felt happy after hearing this, but thinking about the past, she still wanted to ask her daughter what she meant.
Looking at Hua Rujin with warm eyes, she asked in a low voice: "The Chen family is considered a scholarly family in Jiangling City. I heard that the second son of his family has been selected as a candidate for the imperial examination. If Rujin marries her, she won't be treated poorly."
Wait, Rujin, would you like to meet the young master of the Chen family?"
"I don't allow it."
Hua Youen suddenly became anxious and said, "Sister belongs to my brother-in-law. Father, you can't let me see other men."
Hua Rujin was frightened by the ferocious aura of this little beanbag, fearing that Hua Junnian would slap him down, so she quickly persuaded her: "My father's doubts are clear to me, and this Chen family is indeed a rare and good family.
, it’s just that my daughter passed by the Dou family and I don’t want to discuss the marriage for the time being.”
As he said that, he looked at the two little beans casually and excused himself: "Now that my daughter has finally earned some prestige in the county, she might as well take advantage of this to attract more business and accumulate some furniture, so that she can help her father and mother.
Mu Yang will do his best to take care of You En, and in the future he will meet his beloved, and he will be able to live a more stable life if he has a share of the family business."
Normally, Hua Junnian would never agree to her suggestion.
But after experiencing so many hardships, he now fully agrees with his daughter's thoughts.
I'm afraid that my daughter will be preoccupied with this family and delay her life-long events.
"If it's because your brother and sister are young, you don't have to worry about it. My father's salary from the county government can support the whole family."
Hua Junnian looked at her with deep eyes and sighed heavily: "On the contrary, you girl, although the Dou family's matter has passed, it still has some impact on you. I am afraid that if you miss this marriage with the Chen family, you will get married later.
Even with a lantern, I can't find the second Chen family."
"Ahem, father, don't worry about this."
Hua Rujin knew that he was only thinking about herself, but it was not easy to mention the Ye family at this juncture, so she could only say casually: "I just want to earn more money now. At worst, I can stay at home with my father."
Mom, I will go out to look for a shop tomorrow."
After saying that, he hugged Hua Youen and ran out.
"What is this girl talking about?"
Hua Junnian wanted to persuade her again, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye, so she had to give up.
Although Cai Baiwei felt it was a pity, it was obvious that her daughter was not happy, and she did not force it. She could only persuade Hua Junnian: "When Rujin grows up, let her make her own decisions. I think her ideas now are no worse than ours."
.”
Hua Junnian nodded thoughtfully.
Anyway, I didn't treat the two of them poorly, but I was afraid that the one in the capital wasn't as interested in this girl as I was.
