The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 123
"You don't understand the affairs in the officialdom. In short, the maid was taken over by Mr. Lu, and I absolutely can't accept it. And Mr. Lu's request, let alone agree to it."

"What is Master Lu's request?"

"He asked me to be his teacher. I didn't agree."

"You still have to study, how can you be his teacher? Besides, you are a juren, how can you be a teacher for a county magistrate?"

From Gu Wanniang's point of view, her husband's success is already very remarkable.Even in Hejiang County, there are only two candidates. Except for Zhao Shihua, the other one is over 50 years old, and he has long given up his desire to take part in the examination.The entire Hejiang County is just a new star like Zhao Shihua, which is why the gentry in every town in Hejiang County want to put their fields under his name.

Zhao Shihua smiled wryly and said: "You are wrong, Mr. Lu thinks highly of me, and he is really giving me face. As long as he spreads the word, I am afraid that many people will want to be his master. This Mr. Lu was born in the Lu family. One of the Eight Great Aristocratic Families of the Great Sui Dynasty, with great power, don't think he is just a seventh-rank county magistrate, even the magistrate must respect him when he sees him."

"Ah? In that case, why didn't you agree?"

Zhao Shihua didn't explain anymore.Although he also wanted to talk to someone, it was obvious that his wife couldn't understand the affairs of the court, and Brother Nan and Brother Qi were still too young to see so far.

"You don't understand the affairs of the court. Go to sleep!"

The next day, An Ran went to find An Nan early in the morning, but An Nan shook his head at her with guilt.Disappointed, An Ran went to find her mother again.

Gu Wanniang originally didn't want to tell An Ran.In her opinion, although An Ran has also studied and is a little clever, she is still a child and a girl after all. What is the use of telling a child about things that an adult like her can't understand?But in the end, he still couldn't stand An Ran's obsession, so he asked Jiqiu and Yulan to watch outside, and then quietly taught her what Zhao Shihua said last night.

After An Ran heard this, her expression suddenly became serious.

Gu Wanniang was surprised: "What? Don't tell me you girl still know what's going on?"

An Ran thought for a while, and couldn't help sighing: "Daddy did the right thing. We can't afford to provoke Mr. Lu, so we can only hide back in our hometown."

"Oh? What do you think?" Zhao Shihua walked around the small garden twice, and just turned back to prepare for breakfast, when he heard what his daughter said. Looking at her, she seemed to really understand.

"Daddy?" An Ran was slightly annoyed, how could her dad overheard her?Also, how dare Jiqiu and Yulan stop Daddy?
After one night, Zhao Shihua felt much calmer.After walking around the garden just now, he thought about it carefully, and felt that he did nothing wrong last night, and he didn't need to regret it, so he let go of his knot.Just wait for Gu Wanniang to take someone to clean up for two days, and then make it clear with Brother Nan and his wife, and then set off to go back to his hometown in two days.However, he was quite surprised when he heard what his daughter said just now, and there was surprise in his heart at the same time.

"Sister Ran, tell Daddy, what do you think?" Zhao Shihua picked Anran up, walked to the outside and sat down, and put Anran on his lap.He didn't want anyone to wait on him, so he asked Jiqiu and Yulan to wait outside, and told them to stay away.

An Ran thought for a while before saying: "All the great families have always been the targets of the royal family's jealousy and suppression. If Dad agrees to be Lord Lu's master, he will be assigned to the faction of the Lu family. Although it can be counted as relying on, but It is unreliable. If the power of the family is small, it cannot use its strength; if the power of the family is strong, the royal family will suppress it again. And once the emperor turns his face, he will first clean up such small officials who rely on the family; once something happens to the family, They will push these humble officials who are attached to themselves to take the blame.”

Gu Wanniang's eyes widened when she heard it. Could it be that their family sister is really a fairy who descended to earth?Why is she so young and knows everything?
"Then, does Miss Ran mean that no one can be relied upon? Then what will your father do in the future..."

An Ran smiled and said: "For a poor family official, the best thing to rely on is the emperor. With father's talent, if he joins the aristocratic family, he will quickly rise to the top, but I am afraid that he will not be able to pass the hurdle of fourth rank in his life. To be loyal to the emperor, But it is possible for the official to be the prime minister, and the power will be all over the court. Dad has great ambitions, so naturally he wants to avoid Mr. Lu's solicitation and take care of himself alone."

An Ran's analysis was very thorough, which not only opened Gu Wanniang's eyes, but even Zhao Shihua was amazed.With his experience and knowledge, he didn't expect to go so far at the beginning, but his daughter is so young, how did she know?
"Sister Ran, how do you know about these things in the court?"

An Ran said disapprovingly: "Dad, do you still remember that I told you that in dreams, there is something called a TV? From it, you can see things happening around the world, and there are many dramas about court struggles. It’s like watching a play now. I’ve seen this kind of thing a lot.”

Since the last time "teaching" mother was known by father, An Ran was not so careful to hide herself.Anyway, you know it all, don't you?Besides, she has to give her father an idea!So, just come up with a good excuse.

To be honest, although Zhao Shihua decided to do so, he was still a little worried.But after hearing what his daughter said just now, he suddenly felt relieved.Since An Ran said that she has seen many such things in the fairy world, it means that she did nothing wrong.Since there is no regret, no matter what the road ahead is, we can only face it bravely!
Two days later, Zhao Shihua returned to his hometown Wangjia Village with his two children.

The Zhao family felt strange in their hearts, didn't they say they wanted to live in the county?Why did you come back without saying a word?

However, even though they felt strange in their hearts, the Zhao family was very happy that Zhao Shihua's family could come back to live.Even Mrs. Wang is happy. , for nothing else, Zhao Shihua is at home, the expenses of the family are the second room, and there are servants at home to help with cooking, sweeping, washing clothes and so on.And Zhao Shihua and his family went to the county. Although they would give money to the family every month as living expenses, the two elders of the Zhao family have always been diligent and thrifty.
