After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again

After the man left, Shen Rujun continued to sort the bamboo slips. The more he sorted, the tighter his fingers gripped the slips. His face was so gloomy that it seemed as if ink could drip out of it.

"The Third Prince is recruiting many students and advisers. I heard that officials are also recruiting. I don't know if it's true or not."

"How could it be fake? The Third Prince deliberately released this news, but it's just internal rumors."

Someone's voice came faintly from behind the bookshelf.

Shen Rujun walked there quietly and listened to the two people talking silently.

"We're just wasting time here anyway, why not give it a try?"

"You can try it, but you have seen the struggles of the princes before."

"So, the influence of the three princes is all over the court. No matter which one you join, it's better than wasting time here. You know Academician Fang's temper."

Academician Fang was the person who had just brought Shen Rujun with him.

Shen Rujun's face turned dark.

"Doctor Fang just likes to get close to the children of the rich and powerful. I heard that there are talented people joining in the past few days. Do you really think anyone can make it? It's so funny."

"Don't say anything. When I think about how much money I gave to the teacher and how I got a letter of recommendation, but in the end I'm just living here, I wonder how many other people will have to endure this for more than ten years."

The voices of the two people were getting farther and farther away, but these words were lingering in Shen Rujun's mind.

……

In front of the Su Mansion, the night was as dark as ink, with only sporadic lights embellishing this seemingly splendid mansion.

Shen Rujun stood outside the mansion, his figure looked particularly lonely under the dim light.

He hired a carriage. Although it was a bit painful to pay for it, he still had to maintain some dignity.

We must never let anyone look down on us again.

He was wearing an official uniform, and the bright red uniform was extremely conspicuous in the night.

At this time, the security guard who was on shift came over yawning and was stunned when he saw Shen Rujun.

He subconsciously looked at the official uniform on Shen Rujun, thinking that it was another official who came to visit. He quickly bowed and nodded, saying, "You are here to visit, right? The master is inside, please come in."

Shen Rujun pursed her lips and nodded, then followed the guards into the Su Mansion.

The reason for coming to the Su Mansion was to borrow some money from Su Yuandong to buy a house.

Thinking of Academician Fang's disdainful look, Shen Rujun's breath was held.

I remembered that just as my mother said, with the current status of the Su family, the money for a house is a drop in the bucket for them.

Secondly, he wanted to test Su Yuandong's attitude. If he was willing to help, once he had gained a foothold, he would naturally be willing to cooperate with Su Yuandong in the court.

As his thoughts drifted, he followed the guard through the winding corridor and came to Su Yuandong's study.

"Sir, the master is in the study."

Shen Rujun nodded, and the security guard left. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." Su Yuandong's voice came from inside the house.

Shen Rujun pushed open the door and walked in. He saw Su Yuandong sitting at the desk reading a book, while Rong was standing beside him.

The two were both stunned when they saw him. The first thing Su Yuandong and Rong looked at was the official uniform he was wearing.

"Oh, why didn't you ask someone to inform us when we arrived? Someone, come and bring a chair and serve tea to my son-in-law!" Rong said with a smile.

Soon a maid came over and set out tea and cakes.

"Thank you, father-in-law and mother-in-law."

The two of them smiled and asked him to sit down.

"What are you visiting me for so late at night? Ziyou said yesterday that you were going to take the position of editor. Rong and I were thinking of sending you a gift, but we didn't expect you to come first." Su Yuandong said, his words were flawless and his expression looked good.

Shen Rujun lowered his eyes and bowed, "How can I ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law to send someone to make such a hard trip? On my first day at work, the first thing I want to do is to tell my father-in-law so that he won't worry."

Su Yuandong stroked his beard and nodded. This son-in-law was quite tactful in handling things.

Rong sat aside and watched with a smile. It seemed that Ziyou was right. This son-in-law would definitely get better and better in the future as he entered the official career.

Who knows, one day, it might surpass the Marquis' Mansion.

After a few people exchanged greetings, Shen Rujun pursed his lips and said thoughtfully: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, your son-in-law has a favor to ask..." Shen Rujun bowed and saluted.

Su Yuandong put down the book and looked at Shen Rujun and said, "Just tell me if you have something to say."

Shen Rujun gritted his teeth and said, "Father-in-law, the Shen family is in decline and has long been unable to withstand the wind and rain. My mother is in poor health and Ziyou has been wronged, so I want to borrow some money to buy a house. I wonder if it is convenient?"

When he heard that it was about borrowing money, the expression on Rong's face changed, but he quickly stabilized.

She observed Su Yuandong's expression and when she saw him looking at her slightly, she understood.

"Hey, what's the point of saying that? We're all family, so what? It's convenient."

"How much do you want to borrow?"

"Five hundred taels."

Rong's body trembled, and she felt a little pain in her heart. She looked at Yuandong hesitantly.

Su Yuandong's eyes also trembled, and he clenched his fist and coughed lightly.

"Rujun, our Su family has been honest all our lives, and our savings are all accumulated slowly from my salary. It is really difficult for us to take out 500 taels at once."

Shen Rujun sneered in his heart, and said with a look of trepidation: "It is the boy who is unfilial and makes his father-in-law so embarrassed!"

After saying that, he bent his knees and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Hey, what are you doing! Get up quickly!"

Anyway, if I don’t take advantage of this opportunity to gain a foothold in this life, I will never have another chance in the future.

He was well aware of how lucrative the position of Minister of Personnel was.

If Su Yuandong was really honest, would the Su Mansion have changed so much? ! No one would believe it.

Su Yuandong walked out from behind the desk and personally helped Shen Rujun stand up.

"What are you doing?"

"Father and mother-in-law, your kindness to us is as great as a mountain. Rujun will always remember it in my heart. No matter where I go in the future, I will always keep this kindness in my heart and will never forget it."

Su Yuandong's heart moved, and his eyes looked at Shen Rujun's official uniform again.

Now he is an editor in the palace. As long as he is not stupid, it will not be difficult to climb up.

Moreover, this money was not given to him, but loaned and had to be repaid. The higher he climbed, the more he would give back to the Su family.

After figuring this out, Su Yuandong patted Shen Rujun on the shoulder.

"I'm helping you. We're all family, so it's only right. How are you doing in the hospital today?"

"Everything is fine. Academician Fang thinks highly of me."

Shen Rujun spoke without blushing or beating her heart. Su Yuandong nodded, very satisfied, and exchanged a glance with Rong.

Rong turned around and took money from the box.

"Well, now that you have entered the official career, you should have your own dignity, buy a house and settle down. If you have any questions, feel free to come and talk to us."

"Thank you, father-in-law and mother-in-law!"

The two men looked at Shen Rujun with a smile, exchanged some greetings, and left with the silver in their pockets.

"Master, isn't this five hundred taels too much?"

"From a woman's perspective, if he works hard, the benefits he brings to the Su family will be more than five hundred taels."
