The little girl from Dali Temple got promoted and made a fortune by solving crimes

Chapter 11 Granting Officials
Jiang Sushang helped Beilu leave the palace. As soon as her right foot stepped into Jiang's mansion, she stopped. As far as she could see, there were lanterns and festoons everywhere, flowers tied with red silk cloth, and tall red lanterns. Hanging, as if someone is getting married.

As soon as I stepped into the door, firecrackers went off.

The faces of the servants of the Jiang family were filled with smiles, and they said in unison: "Congratulations to Miss Chan Palace for winning the title and being named on the gold list."

Lan Shi quickly stepped forward to help Beilu go to the backyard to heal his injuries, leaving Jiang Sushang to deal with it alone.

The aunt came forward with a smile and held Jiang Sushang's hand: "My Susu is really amazing! The number one female champion in the history, your mother must be laughing so hard under Jiuquan!"

"It's such a great thing, I'll get help as soon as possible and rush to deliver the news to your father and brother."

Jiang Sushang put on a smile, became the female champion, and found out the mastermind behind the imperial examination writing and ink case. Either of these two things would make her happy for a long time.But now she is not happy at all.

The secret of Her Majesty the Empress and the poison of Hokuriku weighed heavily on her heart, making her feel breathless.

"Su Su must work harder and strive to be your uncle's boss. I just want to see your uncle's expression." The aunt's face was full of pride: "Su Su must be tired and hungry. Hurry up and ask the master to come back soon. If he doesn’t come back, we won’t wait for him.”

Among the servants of the Jiang family, there was a young man who was at the top of the list. He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Cousin Su Su, congratulations."

The man's name was Jiang Feiran, he was twenty years old, and he was on the same list as Jinshi with Jiang Sushang, but he was in the top two list and was not qualified to participate in the palace examination.He was not the biological son of Jiang Wenkang and his wife. When Jiang Wenkang was the prefect of Mizhou, he was assassinated by cold arrows, and it was his wife who stood in the way.The sharp arrow injured Mrs. Chiang's female body, making her unable to conceive.

Mrs. Jiang knew that she could not continue to produce children for the Jiang family, so she arranged a concubine for Jiang Wenkang, which made the gentle Jiang Wenkang angry. Then Jiang Wenkang brought a child from the family, and this child was Jiang Feiran. He became the only legitimate son of the Jiang family and his wife.

The Jiang family was an imperial merchant, and Jiang Sushang's brother and father were away from home for most of the year, so Jiang Sushang almost grew up in his uncle's house.

Jiang Sushang grew up with Hokuriku, but he was no longer with him in the past three years due to his apprenticeship in martial arts. Sister Lanshi was picked up by Jiang Sushang's brother, and she was responsible for taking care of Jiang Sushang's food and daily life.

On the contrary, cousin Jiang Feiran didn't want to play with Jiang Sushang. He stayed in the study all day.

"My cousin is delighted." Jiang Sushang responded casually.

Jiang Feiran couldn't help but clench his fists when he heard Jiang Sushang's casual tone. He obviously worked harder than Jiang Sushang and spent more time on his studies. Even his wife said he was promising, but why did God favor Jiang Sushang so much? ?

Even if she won the top seventeenth place, why could she still become the first female top pick in the Great Zhou Dynasty?He would rather the number one pick was an outsider than his cousin Jiang Sushang.

He himself was not the biological child of Jiang Wenkang and his wife. He studied hard and passed the Jinshi examination just to honor his ancestors, but the existence of Jiang Sushang made his hopes come to nothing.Even though he became the second-class Jinshi, he was still ridiculed by his classmates, saying that he was not as good as women, and even Jiang Sushang could not pass the exam.

Jiang Feiran didn't want others to see through his thoughts, so he lowered his head to avoid looking at Jiang Sushang's proud expression, but if he looked carefully, Jiang Sushang was not happy at all.

After Jiang Wenkang came back, he opened a banquet.

Aunt Chu, who usually doesn't drink, has caught Jiang Feiran with one hand and Jiang Sushang with the other. She plans to hold a grand banquet to let everyone in the capital know that her two children are very promising.

When Jiang Feiran heard this, he felt even more uncomfortable. This was not a celebration banquet at all, it was just roasting him on the fire!
Everyone should know by now that Jiang Feiran is not as good as Jiang Sushang, a little girl.

Jiang Sushang was worried about Beilu's poison. What if Wang Ze broke his promise and didn't give the lunar eclipse antidote?
I hope Sister Lan Shi, who is good at medicine and poison, can cure the poison of the lunar eclipse!
Mrs. Chu wept happily. Over the years, she had been ostracized among the ladies in the capital.Other families have both children and many children, but she does not have a biological child.Although her adopted son is sensible and her niece is smart, she still has regrets in her heart.

But when both children became successful, the regret in her heart disappeared instantly.Both of her children were Jinshi, and Jiang Sushang was the No. 1 female scholar in history, which made her unhappy.Thinking about those wives, the many legitimate children and concubines, and the many dirty things in the backyard, she felt extremely happy.

"The decree has arrived."

When Mrs. Chu heard the imperial edict, she said excitedly: "Your Majesty is going to give Su Su a position."

The position of the number one scholar was always relatively high, and the empress had already heard about Jiang Sushang's ability. Chu and Jiang Wenkang looked at each other and guessed that Jiang Sushang would work in Dali Temple.

Jiang Feiran couldn't help but trembled. How can he be bright if he is born with a slender body?Jiang Sushang will probably always be more promising than him!
Everyone knelt down one after another, and the eunuch declared: "I heard that saints fear the destiny of heaven, and emperors serve heaven. Now there is a daughter in the Jiang family, who is talented, talented and wise. She is just like Liangdong, who is like a salt plum. I..." A bunch of complimentary words , at the end, the eunuch recited: "I specifically allow him to take up the post of magistrate of Shuzhou County, and he will take office immediately."

Mrs. Chu was stunned and asked quickly: "Is this...is this a position for Fei'er?"

When Jiang Feiran heard this, he looked displeased and corrected: "Mother heard wrong. This is the seventh-rank magistrate of the county, and she is Su Su's cousin."

Although his face was filled with regret, Jiang Feiran was overjoyed. Jiang Sushang was leaving the capital and heading to Shuzhou County to become a small seventh-grade magistrate.In this way, he can show off his talents. He can show Her Majesty the Empress and his parents that he is the most promising legitimate son of the Jiang family.

There is a popular saying in the official circles: "It is better to be a sesame official in the capital than a state official." It means that if you are a Jinshi, it is best to stay in the capital as an official. An official in the capital has a bright future. Once you are sent to a local place as a state official, your future will be bright. It takes a lifetime of hard work.

Moreover, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the top three in the palace examination had never been sent to prefectures and counties as officials.

Xie Yi was second in the list and was a editor, and Lin Shengyuan was a third-ranked official and worked for the Ministry of Household Affairs. Their positions were the same as Jiang Sushang's position as county magistrate. Official, not to mention Jiang Sushang is still the number one scholar, this arrangement is unreasonable to a discerning person.

"I thank you for your holy grace. Long live my emperor." Jiang Sushang thanked him respectfully.

The eunuch placed the imperial edict in Jiang Sushang's hand and reminded him in a low voice: "My lord, your Majesty, specifically told me to have County Magistrate Jiang leave tomorrow and arrive as soon as possible so that he can share His Majesty's worries and solve the problems for the people as early as possible."

"Yes." Jiang Sushang resisted asking the eunuch about the lunar eclipse antidote and responded with a normal expression.

After seeing off the eunuch who was delivering the order, Mrs. Chu wanted to ask what was going on with Jiang Sushang. Jiang Feiran straightened her back and looked at Jiang Sushang again, feeling that she was a pitiful woman who was working alone as an official.

Jiang Wenkang spoke first: "Please come to my study."

In the study, Jiang Wenkang took a seat, spread out the letter paper, tapped the Hui ink, and started writing.

In the past, Jiang Wenkang sat down and remained silent, while Jiang Su would consciously explain everything clearly.

But this time, it was different, she had to keep it secret.Not only the peace between the empress and the eunuchs around her could not be mentioned, but also the prince's writing and ink writing for the scientific examination could not be mentioned.She will never forget Wang Ze's words. She doesn't want the Jiang family to be held accountable for her fault.

After burning the incense, Jiang Wenkang put the letter into an envelope.

Then he took the mahogany box off the bookshelf and put it together with the letters.

"The mountains are high and the road is far away. I can only give you these two things."

The letter was written personally by Brother Chu. Jiang Sushang knew that Brother Chu on the envelope was a good friend of her uncle, the prefect of a prefecture, and the highest official in Shuzhou County where she worked.

She didn't know what was inside the mahogany box. She had often seen her uncle cleaning the box before, but she had never seen her uncle open it.

Jiang Sushang opened the peach wood box, and there was a gold medal made of pure gold lying on the yellow brocade cloth. There was a word "order" on it, and there were eight small words below: If you see orders like the king, you will obey everything.

"It was a gift from the late emperor. Seeing this thing is like seeing him." Jiang Wenkang said earnestly: "My uncle is willing to protect you for the rest of his life, but your majesty has an order to let you be a state official. My uncle can only give you this thing. You are a caretaker." With this thing around, the nosy nature can flow more smoothly."

Jiang Sushang knelt on the ground with red eyes: "Uncle, I will not cause you trouble. I will manage Shuzhou County well and strive to return to my uncle and aunt as soon as possible to fulfill my filial piety."

Jiang Wenkang's eyes were red, he turned around and murmured: "Your aunt loves you the most. You will leave tomorrow. Please spend time with your aunt tonight!"

Jiang Wenkang especially cared for Jiang Sushang, his niece. She was the daughter of his most beloved sister, and Jiang Sushang had the shadow of his sister.

His sister died in childbirth, and he couldn't let go. He could only treat Jiang Sushang better, no matter how good, or the best.
