Chapter 136 No one else can give birth to a daughter like this
Several members of the Cheng family looked at each other.
Lu Jia, who was standing on tiptoe looking over at the other side of the door, was also a little puzzled. Asking Lu Jie to get Cheng Yan to go to the Imperial College was indeed a benefit she planned for the Cheng family.
But she didn't expect that Lu Jie would take the initiative before the Cheng family made a request!
Originally, they had agreed to make Lu Jie passive in order to exchange benefits. Unexpectedly, the traitorous father came as he wished, but he didn't look passive at all from the beginning to the end!
He spoke so confidently. If he didn't know everything about the Cheng family's situation, he wouldn't be able to do this, right?
...No matter what, if the fish jumps up, there is no reason not to catch them.
She poked Cheng Yan next to her, whispered a few words to him and sent him out.
Cheng Yan quickly came to his father's side and said, "Father, my son will never push his cousin into the fire pit of the Lu family for his own selfish purposes. I don't want to go to the Imperial Academy!"
Cheng Wenhui glanced at him and said to Lu Jie: "Did you hear that? Don't come to my Cheng family to show off your power and bully others just because of your red robe! Isn't it the Imperial College? I don't care about it!"
"Then what do you want?"
Cheng Wenhui snorted coldly.
He straightened his back, truly like a copper pea that could not be smashed or broken.
Yang Bonong frowned, feeling a headache for Lu Jie.
Lu Jie, the elder brother-in-law, is also famous for being tough and difficult to deal with.
Cheng Yi was originally unable to study in Chengguozijian, which was a great regret for the Cheng family. Therefore, they tried their best to get Cheng Yan to study, but unfortunately they never got the chance.
I thought I could sway Cheng Wenhui with this, but I didn't expect that they still couldn't get in! So what else could this do?
Yang Bonong thought for a while and said to Lu Jie: "It's nearing the end of the year. It's not suitable for officials to enter. There may be opportunities elsewhere."
Lu Jie took a deep breath and frowned: "After the new year, a new batch of salt patrol censors will be replaced. Are you willing to go?"
Not to mention how the Cheng family reacted when they heard the words "Xunyan Yushi", the eyes of the Lu family in the room really lit up!
Official positions that directly related to the world's economy, such as Salt Patrol Censor, Cao Patrol Censor, etc., were mostly selected by the emperor himself. In other words, those who were not strong enough would not be able to hold the position.
The official inspection censorship was usually replaced every three years. Although this position was not of high rank, it had very heavy powers and was often promoted after every rotation.
To put it simply, these positions are not only lucrative, but also have a bright future!
The key is that this position is still under the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but it is not under the eyes of the Yan family in the capital!
For the Cheng family, this is of course a first-rate difference!
Lu Jia quickly called Qing He beside him, gave her a few instructions, and sent her out.
Qing He came to Cheng Wenhui and conveyed the Lu family's wishes in a low voice. Cheng Wenhui stroked his beard and said, "Only the Salt Patrol Censor, the Cao Patrol Censor is pretty much the same!"
That’s right!
It’s the patrol censor!
The patrol censor is responsible for supervising the world's river transportation, which is equivalent to Guo Yi's position. It's just that Guo Yi was sent on a temporary basis, and what he wanted to get from Lu Jie now was a serious patrol censor who had the right to directly report the results of the inspection to the emperor!
Lu Jia thinks that his abilities are limited and he doesn't care about anything else. He doesn't have the ability to challenge the Yan family, but he can't just watch the Yan party bring disaster to Shawan Wharf!
Since there was an opportunity presented to her by Lu Jie, why didn't she do her best to do something for Shawan County?
"Censor of the Cao Patrol?" Lu Jie frowned.
"That's right!" Cheng Wenhui said, "I won't tell you anything about the patrol censorship in Huai'an and Tongzhou. I only need to supervise the areas around the two lakes and Guangxi! Can you do it?"
Lu Jie did not answer immediately.
Yang Bonong approached again: "The water transportation in the two lakes and Guangxi is of course not as important as Tongzhou and Huai'an. It is not excessive for Mr. Cheng to only ask for this.
"But the Tanzhou Prefecture within the two lakes only had the case of Zhou Sheng flooding his fields and destroying embankments a few months ago. The imperial envoy Guo Yi who was dispatched a few years ago happened to be handling the case personally. There has not yet been a trial, so please be careful."
< br>
Lu Jie held the cup in his hand and kept looking at Cheng Wenhui's face. Suddenly, he shifted his gaze to the faces of Cheng Yan and Qing He.
Then he stood up and walked to Cheng Wenhui with his hands behind his back. Everyone thought he had something to say, but they didn't know that he suddenly turned on his toes, stretched out his hand to push Cheng Wenhui aside, and then rushed towards the room behind him. !
"What are you doing! Stop!" Cheng Wenhui was caught off guard and staggered by him.
By the time he reacted, Lu Jie had already rushed all the way to the door of the room!
Lu Jia in the room was secretly weighing whether Lu Jie would agree? If she doesn't agree, how should she implement the next step?
She didn't expect this at all!
When she saw her father rushing over, she ran under the back window in a panic, then pushed open the window and climbed out without thinking!
A large group of people in the rear watched the father and daughter chasing each other, and the drama of officers and soldiers chasing robbers was staged in the garden!
But not long after the performance, Lu Jia had just taken two or three steps, and her father's angry shout came from behind: "Stop!"
How could Lu Jia be obedient?
She will never show up until the conditions are negotiated!
Lu Jie gritted his teeth and climbed over the window, then stepped forward in three steps and grabbed the back of her heart!
"Still running? Where are you still running?!"
Lu Jia was still struggling forward, but Lu Jie's other hand had already twisted her arm and turned her back!
This face...
Lu Jie opened his eyes wide, and the breathing that arose from running suddenly stopped in his throat. The angry look on his face also disappeared in an instant.
"You...it's you?!"
Yang Bonong, who was chasing after him, was also stunned!
Lu Jia's arm was twisted and she couldn't run away.
She looked at the group of people in front of her angrily, and her eyes fell back on her father's face: "Long time no see, father!"
Lu Jie let go, looked at her up and down for a moment, and then said: "Step back!"
Yang Bonong and the others all retreated.
Only the father and daughter were left in the garden.
Lu Jie didn't speak for a long time.
Then he turned his back and sat down on a stone pier among the trees and plants in the garden.
But his back was to Lu Jia, and Lu Jia couldn't see his expression, so just like in the previous life, his red-eyed gaffe was not seen now.
She only saw this high-spirited and talented man who had an easy conversation with the eunuch and the eunuch. His back was hunched, as if he had aged seventy percent in an instant.
Lu Jia was calm after all.
She took a long breath and patted his shoulder.
He also stretched his body and seemed to take a long breath, then turned around and stretched out his hand towards her: "Where is your jade?"
Lu Jia shrugged: "Give it away."
"Who did you give it to?"
"An important person."
Lu Jie frowned: "How important is it?"
Lu Jia asked back: "Without that piece of jade, doesn't it mean that I can't prove that I am Lu Jia?"
Lu Jie took his hand back and looked down at the grass at his feet for a moment: "No."
Lu Jia looked at him: "Why?"
"No one else can give birth to a daughter like this except me."
