Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general

Today's morning court session was still held by the Crown Prince, and the Ministry of Personnel submitted the assessment results of various officials in previous years.

To Xie Huaizhong's surprise, after reading it, the Crown Prince actually praised Shen Zhili highly.

"As a noble, you are courteous and humble, and you are always personally involved in everything. The water control work in Anping has benefited the present and future generations. Your Majesty has condescended to work on the river bank in person, which deeply touched me!"

Recalling the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Xie Huaizhong felt as if he was dreaming even though he pinched his thigh until it turned blue!

Others may not know the situation in Anping, but how could Xie Huaizhong not know?

After Shen Zhili went to Anping, he spent three years eating, drinking and having fun. He didn’t even know what the river bank looked like!

It was all thanks to his father-in-law who made arrangements everywhere and spent a huge amount of money to get the so-called great achievement!

In the past, the emperor favored the Marquis of Weiwu and praised him for his achievements in flood control. Xie Huaizhong could understand that.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never looked down upon the Weiwu Marquisate, and even hates the Shen family.

How can you do such a thing?

Before Xie Huaizhong could figure it out, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally approved Shen Zhili's position in Beijing - Vice Minister of Works!

From the sixth rank to the fourth rank, it was hard for both civil and military officials to climb up in the court, but Shen Zhili did it by living in Anping for three years!

But this was not what shocked Xie Huaizhong the most. When he was leaving the court, a colleague from the Ministry of Personnel who was on good terms with him secretly reminded him,

His test results are quite bad, so let him prepare early!

Xie Huaizhong suddenly became nervous. He had been an official in Beijing for ten years. Although he considered himself a loyal official, he still had some good friends in various departments.

His performance in the assessments has always been in the middle, so he has been able to make steady progress over the past ten years.

I thought I could get promoted to the next level this year, but suddenly a bucket of cold water was poured on my head.

Xie Huaizhong was completely stunned!

Fortunately, after decades of ups and downs in officialdom, Xie Huaizhong quickly calmed down.

He has already spent money to negotiate, if he can't get promoted to a higher level, then he has to keep his current level!

But no matter what, Shen Zhili's rank is definitely higher than his. Thinking of the character of the Shen family, Xie Huaizhong frowned even more tightly!

In order to avoid any complications, it is better to get married first!

The Xie family's steward hurriedly rode to the Shen family, only to learn that Shen Zhili had been dragged out for a drink by his colleagues.

In one day, Shen Zhili, who was ignored by everyone, went from being a nobody to being a hot commodity!

After the morning court was dispersed, the officials who had always been on the fence and watched the winds, all rushed to the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion to send their invitations.

From the elderly in their seventies and eighties to the youngest in their teens, everyone calls him:

"Brother Shen is a role model for our generation, and his future is limitless!"

Shen Zhili was dizzy. When he realized how big the pie falling on his head was, he almost couldn't help but screaming to the sky!

It is said that after the crown prince takes power, the favor of the Weiwu Marquisate will disappear completely.

The current situation really gave that group of people a hard slap in the face!

Shen Zhili's eyes were filled with tears. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so wise!

You know, the Minister of Works is a position with both high rank and real power.

After three years of hard work, I finally reaped the rewards!

Shen Zhili, who was nervous and discouraged a few days ago, was full of passion from this moment on!

In another three years, the position of Minister of Works will be within reach!

When the servants of the Hou Mansion found Shen Zhili in the restaurant, he was drinking and his face was red amid the praises of the crowd.

Hearing that someone from the Xie Mansion was coming, it was just a steward, so he flicked his sleeves and said:

"Make him wait!"

The servants of the Marquis' Mansion received the order and went back to tell the chief steward of the Xie Mansion the exact words:

"The Marquis said that you should wait!"

The butler of the Xie Mansion was so angry that his nose was smoking!

In the past, when Shen Zhili came to visit, he had to bow half way and perform a half greeting when he saw him, but now he is shaking!

He waited until the sun was setting. The butler of the Xie Mansion stayed under the eaves of the mansion for half a day without drinking a sip of water, and his throat was smoking!

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Shen Zhili would definitely be dragged away for social events.

The butler of the Xie Mansion had no choice but to rush into the mansion, say goodbye to Old Madam Shen, and go back home.

On the way back home, he saw Xie Xilan standing at the door of Cuihuaxuan with an angry look on her face.

After taking a nap in the afternoon, Xie Xilan went to Cuihuaxuan to pick out jewelry with great interest.

The staff at Cuihuaxuan were very hospitable at first, taking out various head ornaments and jewelry and introducing them attentively.

Xie Xilan was very enthusiastic in choosing the jewelry. The jewelry at Cuihuaxuan was indeed exquisite and luxurious.

Seeing that Xie Xilan had chosen quite a few pieces, the waiter took the opportunity to show off: "The jewels from our Cuihuaxuan are loved by all the queens and princesses in the palace!"

When Xie Xilan heard this, she immediately picked a few more items.

It seems that wearing these jewelries makes me as noble as a queen or princess!

"I heard that Cuihuaxuan still has some good stuff, all of which are unique pieces. Why don't you take them out?"

After hearing Xie Xilan's question, the waiter immediately flattered her: "Madam, you can tell at a glance that you have excellent taste..."

"Bullshit!" Qiu Sang's eyes widened. "This is my daughter. She's getting married in a few days. She came to your place to pick out some good stuff. Stop spewing shit everywhere with your dirty mouth!"

The waiter glanced at Xie Xilan's bun, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

You can open a business and what your customers say is the truth!

Then he slapped himself lightly on the face: "Look at my stinky mouth, girl, don't bother with me. If you are angry, you can hit me twice!"

After the commotion here, several gazes came from inside the hall. They were also noble ladies who came to choose jewelry, but Qiu Sang's words were vulgar, which made people frown.

"Why would I hit you? If you really want to admit your mistakes, just take out those rare items and let us see them." Xie Xilan was a little embarrassed, but she had always been a proud person.

Only in front of Shen Zhili and Xie Huaizhong, she tried her best to be a delicate little white flower that couldn't take care of itself.

Then he stiffened his neck and said, "It's not like I can't afford it!"

The waiter nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice, but what he said instantly annoyed Xie Xilan:

"To be honest, there were one or two unique pieces of Cuihuaxuan in the store, but since yesterday, the boss has said that all the unique pieces will only be given to his daughters to wear for fun, and will not be sold anymore!"

Seeing that Xie Xilan's eyes were about to spit fire,

The clerk quickly added, "However, if you want to customize jewelry, as long as you choose the pattern and material and pay the deposit, Cuihuaxuan will do its best and will not let you down!"

Xie Xilan slammed the table and said, "I want Gu Feiwan's set!"

The guy was stunned for a moment, then he put his hands behind his back and waved them quietly.

The servant who brought tea and water ran away quickly.

After a while, a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament came downstairs and bowed to Xie Xilan:

"May I ask which family the young lady belongs to?"

Qiu Sang raised his head: "Xie family!"

"Oh? Is this the pearl that the Xie family just recognized?"

"Humph! You still have some vision!"

The shopkeeper who was polite just now suddenly changed his expression and waved his hands: "Come here, kick these two people out!"

Xie Xilan was stunned!

Cuihuaxuan actually drove me away?

"How dare you! Are you so bold? My father said that it would be easy to buy all the small Cuihuaxuan!"
