Chapter 301 Recruitment
The Duke's Palace approved the marriage between Xie Yunling and Lan Ci, and within two months, Lan Ci took up a position in the Hanlin Academy.
Although he is only a seventh-grade editor, he has achieved everything by himself. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has great potential.
Although he had an official position, Lan Ci's salary was not much.
Marrying Xie Yunling is a high achievement.
For this reason, some people secretly laughed at Lan Ci for eating soft food, just like a son-in-law who came to the house. He would be suppressed by Xie Yunling in the future.
The rumors became more and more intense, and eventually some people even said that Lan Ci was greedy for vanity and had played tricks to win Miss Xie's favor.
If he gains momentum in the future, he will definitely turn his back on others.
Although he did not pursue the source of the rumors, Lan Ci knew who was maliciously slandering him behind his back.
He didn't have any reaction, but Liuxu was very angry.
Although Lan Ci and she are not related by blood, after so many years of getting along, they have long become each other's relatives.
She is a person who protects her shortcomings and cannot tolerate others arranging poems.
Fortunately, General Wei had a good background, otherwise he would have been beaten by others for his villainy.
Liu Xu said angrily: "No wonder Mrs. Ji hates Wei so much. This person's eyes are smaller than the eye of a needle, and he likes to play tricks behind his back. Isn't he a proper villain?"
Lan Ci didn't take those words to heart, "I'm fine."
Liu Xu glared at him, "Of course you're fine. If the Xie family takes these words into their hearts and disapproves of your marriage to Miss Xie, you won't even have time to cry!"
Lan Ci's cold face showed nervousness.
Pursing her thin lips, "Yunling is smart and will not be disturbed by rumors."
"Just because she was not disturbed does not mean that the elders will not be affected either."
The Xie family loves Xie Yunling very much, otherwise they would not let her choose her husband.
Liu Xu's belief in Lan Ci's character does not mean that the Xie family will also believe in him unconditionally.
He said earnestly: "Gossips are also weapons. Sometimes they are extremely lethal and cannot be left alone."
Lan Ci didn't want to pay attention to it at first. After a while, the rumors naturally dissipated.
But he had to admit that what Liu Xu said made sense.
Even if General Wei cannot come forward to clarify, at least the elders of the Xie family must know where those words came from.
They can make their own judgments about the ins and outs and the right and wrong.
Lan Ci is indifferent by nature, but she also holds grudges.
He had never taken extreme measures to fight back against General Wei because he was afraid that if the rumors spread, Xie Yunling would be implicated.
The girl's family's reputation was very important, and he didn't want Xie Yunling to be harmed.
He tapped his long fingers on the table, looking thoughtful.
After a while, Liu Xu asked, "Are you still in contact with Zhao Yuqing?"
Liu Xu helped Zhao Yuqing find out the cause of her mother's death, which was caused by Mr. Zhao's concubine.
Master Zhao knew the truth, but he still planned to put his concubine in order.
All the evidence found was handed over to Zhao Yuqing.
I haven't seen her move for such a long time. I don't know if she is brewing something or if she doesn't want to break up with Mr. Zhao.
The Zhao family's affairs had nothing to do with her, so Liu Xu stopped paying attention.
But General Wei has shady thoughts towards Xie Yunling, and from time to time he wants to stumble her and Lan Ci. How can she take the initiative if she doesn't contact Zhao Yuqing?
Liu Xu didn't know whether Zhao Yuqing would switch sides and speak to the Wei family in the future.
She doesn't care either.
As long as Zhao Yuqing still cooperates for a few days.
When Lan Ci mentioned Zhao Yuqing, Liu Xu understood what he meant.
I also have an idea in mind.
"Leave this matter to me. If you have time, why not go see Yun Ling and have a frank talk with her to cultivate more trust so as not to be provoked again in the future."
Lan Ci said: "That won't affect us."
He looked so confident that Liu Xu felt like he had been stuffed with dog food.
Instead of continuing the topic, he put the gift list on the table, "This is the betrothal gift list. See if you want to add anything."
Having been in business for more than ten years, Liuxu has a strong family background. In order not to wrong Xie Yunling, she bought Lan Ci and Xie Yunling a three-bedroom house in the capital.
On the day they get married, the couple can move in together.
As for herself, she still lives in the original house.
In addition, she prepared all the necessary things for marrying a wife.
It can't be compared to the pomp and splendor of a noble family, but compared to a small official's family, the things she gave are considered generous.
Lan Ci felt very guilty, "I don't know when I can pay back so much money."
His salary is very small.
Even if you make money by selling calligraphy and painting, it will be difficult to pay off the money.
LiuXu raised her eyebrows, "I will still need your protection in the future, don't think about whether these things are available or not."
From the current point of view, she has paid a lot for Lan Ci.
But it’s not that nothing is gained.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
Lan Ci has always been protective of her. When she was harassed by gangsters before entering Beijing, Lan Ci always stood up for her immediately.
When she encounters trouble in business, even though he doesn't know much about business, he will work with her to find a way to solve the problem.
Liuxu has no relatives or friends here. To her, Lan Ci is her biological brother and her family.
Now Lan Ci wants to marry a wife, and she is marrying a very good girl. She is willing to pay for the money.
To take a step back, it was because of Lan Ci that she could get to know the noble people in the Duke's mansion.
Mrs. Ji even wanted to cooperate with her in business, and the little she paid had already been returned to her hands doubled.
"When you get married, I will go to the border. Then you can help me pay attention to the shops in the capital. If there is anything unusual, write to me."
For so many years, they have never been separated.
In Lan Ci's view, it is not an exaggeration to say that Liuxu is his biological sister.
She was going to the border, and the journey was so far that he couldn't completely rest assured.
"Are you going to do business?"
"Yes, Mrs. Ji wrote to me."
Lan Ci knew how reliable Mrs. Ji was. After all, every time she met Yun Ling, she would say a few words.
Lan Ci was relieved to hear that there was a letter from her.
"Bring more people with you when the time comes. If you go out alone, be sure to pay attention to safety."
These catkins know everything.
She likes to make money, but she also has to ensure that she has life to spend.
She won't go where it's not safe.
After agreeing on the list of betrothal gifts, Liuxu, as the elder, resigned and went to the Duke's Mansion for Lan to discuss the matter of the betrothal.
As expected, affected by the rumors, Princess Anhe's attitude towards her became even worse.
If Mrs. Guan hadn't been trying to smooth things over, the situation would have been much more embarrassing.
In order to reassure the elders of the Duke's Mansion, Liu Xu sent a handwritten letter written by Zhao Yuqing.
In the letter, she wrote the whole story clearly.
After seeing this, Mrs. Guan was so angry that she wanted to settle the score with the Wei family.
Not only did the man named Wei have evil intentions, he also wanted to ruin Yun Ling's marriage.
Doesn't he know how important marriage is to a woman?
Or is he willing to do whatever it takes to satisfy his own selfish desires and ignore the wishes of others?
If he really succeeds, Yunling's life will be ruined!
Liu Xu didn't hide anything and told Guan that General Wei had been looking for her and Lan Ci.
If they have concerns and decide to cancel the marriage, Liuxu will understand.
Since we are going to get married, it is better for both parties to be honest.
This kind of thing depends on your will and my willingness. If one party wants to quit, it is not impossible to break the contract.
After figuring out all the details, Guan's anxiety completely disappeared.
This is the person that both A-Zheng and Mingzhu are optimistic about, and he is worthy of her trust once.
"Mrs. Liu, there will be a good day in ten days. Then you can bring your matchmaker with you to hire someone."
