When Xing Dairong heard what Lu Lingjun said, his face immediately fell and he could only say the word stingy.
Seeing this, Lu Lingjun said leisurely, "However, if the prince asks about the increase in status of his aunt, there will be no problem."
After Lu Lingjun finished speaking, Xing Dairong immediately became energetic, "I know."
She looked at the two pieces of jewelry she couldn't put down, and after choosing for a while, she said, "I want this first."
What she said was that she wanted the other thing first, and she would want it later.
After leaving Lu Lingjun, Xing Dairong returned to his yard with a happy face.
Lu Lingjun looked at it and gently raised the corners of his lips.
"Mei Xia, are your brother's affairs finished?"
"It's done." Xia Mei stepped forward, "Brother said that early in the morning he sent clues about secretly selling test questions to the road that the prince must pass."
"It wasn't discovered."
"Of course not. The prince must have caught someone by now."
Lu Lingjun put down the tea cup and calmly glanced at the sky above his head.
Cheng Yunshuo told her some time ago that he wanted to be promoted. This kind of thing couldn't be easier for Lu Lingyun. In her previous life, she had helped Li Wenxun get an official position all her life.
She knew best when to do things and who to look for. She remembered that at this time in her previous life, several domestic slaves secretly sold the exam questions for the next spring. However, they were soon discovered by the court, so the exam questions for the next year were revised again.
This kind of achievement could not be better for Cheng Yunshuo.
That night, Cheng Yunshuo returned home in high spirits.
As soon as he came back, he went to find Lu Lingyun.
"Lingyun, I've been promoted!"
"Oh?" Lu Lingjun looked surprised, "What did the prince do?"
"Today, a case of leaked test questions was solved. It's a coincidence. I saw a few people sneaking around on my way to work. When they saw me, they quickly dropped their things and ran. I felt something was wrong at the time and chased after them. guess what?"
"What's going on?" Lu Lingjun looked curious.
"Those people turned out to be the slaves of the examiner's family next spring. They took out the master's examination questions and sold them, so that I could get a good score!" Cheng Yunshuo looked high-spirited. After solving a major case, he was extremely proud. .
He also didn't expect that at the juncture when he was about to be promoted, he would just happen to make a great contribution easily. When the governor of the Duwei Mansion learned that he had uncovered such a large case, he promoted him on the spot and asked for credit.
He was successfully promoted to an official position.
Seeing Cheng Yunshuo's simple and happy expression, she praised with a smile, "The prince is really amazing. I must tell my father and mother about this."
Hearing that he wanted to tell the Qin family and the old Marquis, Cheng Yunshuo's eyebrows were bubbling with joy. He had been a coward for so long, and this was the first time he had accomplished something, which was enough for him to feel proud in front of the Qin family's old Marquis. Then, he swallowed his pride and said, "You can make arrangements. I'll invite my colleagues to my house for dinner tomorrow, so you can take the trouble."
"okay."
Lu Lingjun found that Cheng Yunshuo was a very simple and careless person.
Cheng Yunshuo is not like Li Wenxun, who is full of ambition and always only wants to climb up. He has a relatively moderate temperament and is a little rebellious. He also wants to do some deeds to shine on his family and make his parents look good, but he is not that ambitious. Just meet him. Never mind that he is a happy-go-lucky and simple person.
He also has his little partiality, hesitant to deal with emotions, disconnected, easy to be fooled, wants to be responsible for everyone, and thinks everyone is good. In summary, he is an ordinary person with no scheming. Happy ordinary people.
Except for being young and frivolous at the time, and going to extremes step by step for Xing Dairong, he has never done anything extraordinary.
However, Lu Lingjun felt that such mediocre people were more real and interesting.
After Cheng Yunshuo shared the joy of being promoted with Lu Lingjun, he was still excited. After coming out of Lu Lingjun's place, he ran to Xing Dairong's yard to talk to her about the promotion.
“Representative.”
"Yunshuo, you're back!" When Xing Dairong saw him coming back, she immediately stepped forward. She waited for Cheng Yunshuo all day long, waiting for him to come back and talk to him about the matter.
"I just have something to ask you."
"I also have something to tell you!" Cheng Yunshuo's brows were filled with joy, "I've been promoted!"
"Promotion?"
Xing Dairong heard this and said, "Aren't you already a heir apparent? Why should you be promoted to an official position? Are you becoming a marquis?"
The more Xing Dairong said his eyes were getting bigger, the more he was excited.
If Cheng Yunshuo becomes the Marquis, then she will be the Marquis's aunt, and her status will be high again!
"What a mess, I, the Jinwu Guard's errand, have been promoted." Cheng Yunshuo called her to dispel half of her joy, "Our title of Marquis can only be hereditary. My father is gone, so I can replace the Marquis, and I am the last generation of our family to inherit the title. , the next generation will be reduced to nobility."
Cheng Yunshuo is the last hereditary lord of the Ningyang House. His descendants will be earls in the next generation, and the title of the house will end with him.
"Ah!" Xing Dairong's face immediately collapsed when he heard this, "What about our child? Can he become a marquis?"
Cheng Yunshuo frowned, "The next generation will hold the title of earl, and the next one will be the captain of the light vehicle. The captain of the light vehicle will not be inherited after that."
"Then what kind of job are you doing as Jin Wuwei?"
"Now that I have been promoted, I am the Commander-in-Chief of Jinwu Guards, and my official position is the same as Commander-in-Chief of Qingche."
Xing Dairong listened to this and said, "That means I'm not as good as your eldest son!"
Cheng Yunshuo was unhappy.
How could he be so happy about his promotion and end up with Xing Dairong?
It is true that he is now just the Commander-in-Chief of the Jinwu Guard, and his official position is much lower than that of a hereditary marquis, but this is an official position that he has achieved by himself, not inherited.
"Then do you hope to be promoted to a marquis in the future? Leave it to our children to inherit."
"What are you talking nonsense! A Marquis can only be rewarded with real merits. As a Jinwu Guard, I can only serve as a Jinwu Guard in front of the Imperial Guard. At most, I can be released as a second- or third-rank local official. I can't compare with the Lord at all. , Furthermore, I will never be able to surpass the achievements of my ancestors in this life."
Cheng Yunshuo was not confused. His ancestor was a marquis who fought with real swords and guns on the battlefield. With his little ability, it was good for him to be a Jinwu Guard in the capital and to be promoted to the governor-general he is now.
What is Xing Dairong thinking!
Xing Dairong heard his unmotivated words and said, "You can't be motivated! Just work hard and make achievements like your ancestors did!"
Cheng Yunshuo was completely speechless, "What else do you want to see me for?"
When Xing Dairong heard this, he thought of business, "I want you to give me a promotion. I am just an aunt now, and I only have a little bit of everything. I only have one piece of jewelry this year, which is not enough..."
Cheng Yunshuo listened to her words, feeling depressed again and again. He stared at Xing Dairong who kept asking him for things.
Is this really the person he loved so much back then?
