Emperor Chu looked at the shameless King Xian and couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
It’s okay to hold great power, it’s okay to have unparalleled martial arts skills, it’s a fact to have a fortune, and it’s okay to look good...
only……
How could he have the nerve to say that he was good at both civil and military affairs? He skipped classes all the time during the reign of the late Emperor, and he was a man who had not read all the Four Books and Five Classics.
Is he literate?
Can he compose poetry?
One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces?
Now that he has listed these extremely harsh conditions, isn't it obvious that he has no intention of letting Xueer choose her husband...
No, maybe he didn't want Xueer to get married.
Looking at Xue'er's happy face, this girl didn't even realize that she had fallen into a trap!
Finally, Xiao Ruxue stopped tapping the abacus and wrote the final data on paper. She calculated it twice and found that there was no error in the data.
Xiao Ruxue looked at King Xian and said: "Father, I have finished the calculation. Here, this is it. There will be no mistake."
With that said, Xiao Ruxue handed the paper with the calculation results to King Xian. King Xian looked at the paper and nodded and said, "You actually saved 20,000 taels?!"
Xiao Ruxue said: "Because the official road chosen by the Guoshang Yuan is not only wider and flatter, but also has fewer checkpoints than before, which saves a lot of time required to pass the checkpoints and deliver food and supplies to the border.
It’s not just distance that needs to be considered, but also terrain, humanities, etc., there are many more..."
The Xian Wang looked at Xiao Ruxue who had so many family treasures, and couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Did Xu Qing teach you these?"
Xiao Ruxue said proudly: "Yes, yes, just like the problem of choosing a route for transporting grain and grass, it is a typical optimization problem. The optimization problem should not only consider the distance, but should comprehensively calculate the data that saves the most money.
.”
"Not only my daughter, but also those in the Finance Department and Planning Department of the National Business School must learn from it. Those in the National Business School are all taught by my daughter!"
The wise king smiled and said: "Xue'er has grown up and knows how to share the worries of the family and the country. She is much better than that rebellious son."
Emperor Chu also said: "Yes, it would be great if Xue'er was a man. In this case, I don't have to worry about the choice of prince."
When the Xian Wang heard this, he immediately looked at Emperor Chu with evil eyes: "Whoever will be the prince in the future will be chosen from among your sons. Don't take my Xueer's idea."
After saying that, the Xian King turned his head and said: "Xuan Hubu Shangshu Zheng Yuan is coming in."
Not long after, Zheng Yuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, walked in from outside, but the scene in the imperial study really shocked him.
After His Majesty’s imperial examination, the person sitting was not His Majesty, let alone the Prince, but the Prince’s youngest daughter—Princess Yongle!
On the other hand, His Majesty and the Prince stood on either side of Princess Yongle...
You know, since the founding of the country, only emperors can sit in that position.
Even the prince, after abdicating the throne in favor of a worthy man, never sat there again.
At this time, Princess Yongle was sitting there, and the prince had a look of kindness on his face.
The prince really does not dote on Princess Yongle in an ordinary way.
Before he could think too much, the Minister of Household Affairs bowed and said, "I see your Majesty, Your Majesty, and Princess Yongle."
Emperor Chu said: "I love you."
The Minister of Hubu straightened up and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
When Xiao Ruxue saw the Minister of the Ministry of Finance come in, she stood up and said, "Father, I went to play with Sister Su."
The Xian Wang nodded and said: "Okay, go ahead, remember not to come back too late, you know? Last time, I came back during the curfew time and almost got locked out of the capital. Your sister Su is also there now.
As a pregnant woman, don’t just worry about yourself and disturb your sister Su’s rest.”
"But we can learn more from this guy Xu Qing. This guy is very talented, but his martial arts skills are just mediocre. It would be perfect if he could be combined with Ye'er."
After listening to the wise king's instructions, Xiao Rushue's big black eyes rolled in his sockets and nodded: "Well, I understand!"
After Xiao Ruxue went out, Emperor Chu looked at the wise king and said, "I didn't expect that Xue'er and Xu Qing's wife would get along so well. It's really rare."
The Xian Wang said: "It is indeed rare. Although Xue'er is usually lively, due to some reasons, she has few friends in this capital. It is extremely difficult for her to make a like-minded friend, so I just let her go."
When Emperor Chu heard this, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.
Is it because she can't make friends because even the women in the capital can't beat her?
Anding Bofu
Xu Qing and Su Jiyuan sent the former Governor Dong and today's Minister of Household Affairs out of the house, cupped their hands and said, "Master Dong, go slowly."
Dong Song also raised his hands and said with a smile: "Uncle Anding County, Mr. Su will stay here. Thank you very much, Uncle Anding County, for your support."
…
Su Jiyuan looked at his son-in-law, why were all the people related to his son-in-law promoted?
Not only was he promoted to Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion, even his senior brother also took advantage of it and was promoted from Yuanwailang to Langzhong.
But now, Dong Jishishi, who had helped them in Yongzhou, was promoted to the position of Dong Shilang, either openly or covertly.
Although these are good things, there is still a trace of worry on Su Jiyuan's face.
When Governor Dong walked away, Su Jiyuan looked at Xu Qing and said: "My father knows that you are now considered to be a high-ranking official in the court, but I still want to remind you that you can use your power to promote those close to you.
Although people can make their position in the government more stable, they are still suspected of forming cliques for personal gain."
Xu Qing bowed and said: "My son-in-law will remember the teachings of my father-in-law, but..."
Su Jiyuan asked: "Just what?"
Xu Qing's expression became a little complicated and he said, "It's just that their promotion really has nothing to do with my son-in-law."
Su Jiyuan said: "Isn't it you who recommended Mr. Dong? Half of the court knows about this."
Xu Qing looked at Su Jiyuan and said, "Father-in-law, you may not believe it, but in fact that's not what happened. The real situation that day was..."
When Su Jiyuan heard Xu Qing tell him what happened in the palace that day, he was surprised: "There is such a thing?!"
Xu Qing nodded: "But the situation is really like this. The agreement was just for reference. Who knew that as soon as my son-in-law said his name, the prince would make a final decision and write the imperial edict together."
Su Jiyuan thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the real reason at all. He could only say: "The prince must have a deep meaning for doing this."
Xu Qing sighed, whether it was a deep meaning or a serious illness, I still can't decide...
Just as the two were talking, an exquisite carriage stopped at the door. Xiao Ruxue jumped out of the carriage. Seeing Xu Qing standing at the door, her cute little eyebrows suddenly curved up, and then she noticed that Xu Qing was still standing next to her.
By Su Jiyuan.
Xiao Ruxue walked up to Su Jiyuan first and said slightly happily: "Xue'er has met Uncle Su."
Su Jiyuan quickly raised his hands and said, "Don't dare. Su Jiyuan, the young master of Jingzhao Mansion, has met Princess Yongle."
Only after Su Jiyuan was transferred to Jingzhao Mansion did he realize how lawless this little princess was on weekdays. It could be said that the entire court had to let her go.
But this little princess would become extremely polite every time she met him, just like an ordinary junior person.
