Chapter 607 Take a step back

Wen Zifu led Jiang Xu into Yanzi Hutong.

Since Jiang Xu was called to visit, he had to go to the inner courtyard to ask Mrs. Gui and Mrs. Cao, and then he was invited to the front by Wen Ci and Dai Tianjian.

Cao was very welcome to Jiang Xu's arrival and told the kitchen to add a Sichuan dish.

After all, Madam Wu is from Jiangnan and is not an expert in making Sichuan cuisine. She can only say that she can add more ingredients and taste more, at least to make her appetizer and have a meal.

After the arrangement was made, Cao spoke happily to Mrs. Gui: "I heard that there are many families who want to be friends with the top scholar, but the child is a normal-natured and does not like flattery, which is our family. After two trips, he will talk to Ci Ge'er and the others when he comes."

"Talking about learning is a good thing," Mrs. Gui nodded, "Isn't Dalang the same before?

I was alone in Beijing and didn’t have many friends, so I communicated with the brothers of the Xia family, and communicated over and over again, and became a son-in-law for the Xia family.

Jiang Xu is from Shu, and his parents and brothers are not in Beijing. He has a foothold in Beijing and needs friends..."

Because it is not a single thing about the eight characters, Mrs. Gui's words are quite tactful.

Whether you marry, besides feelings, you will also benefit.

The Marquis of Ding'an Mansion won a top son-in-law, and Jiang Xu could also be a guide in the officialdom.

The relatives of the Jiang family are far apart and have to walk around on weekdays, that is, they can get along with the Marquis's mansion. The son-in-law and his brother-in-law are in harmony, and the family is so good.

Let’s take a step back, even if the marriage is not reached, it is a good thing for Wen Ci to have a good relationship with Jiang Xu.

Both are studious and down-to-earth people, and there is nothing wrong with it. As elders, who doesn’t want their children to make friends with such character and knowledge?

Cao nodded repeatedly, and became more and more excited when talking to Mrs. Gui.

Wen Zifu changed into regular clothes and came to greet the old lady. When they heard their talk lively, he couldn't help but shake his head: "Mother, Madam, we are thinking too well."

Mrs. Gui looked up at him.

Cao was stunned: "Why are you thinking too well?"

It is clear that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law even thought about the bad things like "take a step back". Could it be that Jiang Xu is different from each other and Ruan Mengcheng is the second, and they are wrong again?

Wen Zifu sighed: "He wanted to return to Shu to serve as an official. There was no such precedent in the Ministry of Personnel. He had no progress in seeking Mr. Zhou several times. He came to me today just to ask me for help and see if he could invite Mr. Zhou to have a simple meal..."

When Cao heard this, he was anxious and turned to see Mrs. Gui: "How could he want to go back to Shu?"

"Does it feel that it is not easy to gain a foothold in Beijing, not as good as Shu, and is also easy to take care of the family?" Mrs. Gui guessed, "But the old woman looked at him, he didn't look like a person who was afraid of challenges and was greedy for comfort."

Mrs. Gui has been hit by an eagle in her life, but generally speaking, she still has some level of her ability.

Ruan Mengcheng made a mistake that time. Later, the old lady thought about it. When discussing marriage, Ruan Zhi and Ruan Chen were always in front of her son.

At that time, there was no accident in Taifu Xia. Ruan's family was rushing to talk about marriage. Sister Yuan was marrying her, so the other party naturally had a very good attitude.

With his parents in front, Ruan Mengcheng's true nature was also covered up and fooled.

Now, Mrs. Gui has not had the chance to get to know the Jiang family, and the first thing she saw was Jiang Xu herself.

Staying away from home, going to Beijing for exams, dealing with people, talking and talking, losing the possibility of others covering him, will only be more real and credible.

From the time when the young man appeared in Bao'anyuan and asked Wen Ci a question, Mrs. Gui learned about his behavior several times and spoke, and was very satisfied with his heart.

She likes those who know how to study, but she doesn't like those who are stupid and silly.

Jiang Xu is not.

He knew what good articles with literary talent were. He could not be able to write articles if he could become the top scholar. But he also knew what was really down-to-earth behind the gorgeous Ci tale, so he admired Ci Ge'er's answer at that time.

He understood the worldly ways. After the Bao'anyuan competition, when he went to Shuntian Prefecture to receive supplies, he expressed his belief in Ci Ge'er to Erlang.

Erlang did everything for him was what the officials of Shuntian Prefecture should do for the candidates, but he was still very grateful. After winning the top scorer, he rushed to Shuntian Prefecture to thank Erlang and other officials.

At the same time, his face is not thin.

Many young people are not ungrateful, but unfortunately they don’t know how to express themselves and are just silently grateful in their hearts. Such people are honest, but it is difficult to go far in the officialdom.

Those who are officials must have thick-skinned faces.

He is shameless to learn from other officials. After his age and experience increases, he is not afraid of embarrassing or asking questions. He is different from others' political views and is not afraid to speak out. If he is a thin-skinned, it will be very embarrassing to just speak.

Just like now, he has his own idea. If he wants to go back to Shu, he can speak to the Ministry of Personnel again and again, and can be motivated to follow Wen Zifu's path. Knowing that he has caused trouble for the Ministry of Personnel, he will also think of asking for a meal...

The more Mrs. Gui thought about it, the more she felt that Jiang Xu was a very good young man.

Such a person should not be afraid of being unable to make a name for himself in Beijing and wanting to "escape" back to his hometown.

"It's rare to have a candidate that we are all satisfied with," Mrs. Gui thought for a while and said, "Since he comes to ask for help, we should figure out his ideas well. Not to mention whether things will be successful. If he is really in trouble and we have the spare time, we can help."

Wen Zifu said: "I think so too. I have already told Brother Ci to try to ask. Their peers are easy to talk to."

Qingzhu served Mrs. Gui for food, and Wen Zifu and Cao returned to the wing room.

Cao was originally happy, but as a result, the meal was useless and his mind was in the front yard.

Wen Zifu coughed lightly and reminded her: "If you don't know, you think you're waiting for your words, how could you worry so much?"

Cao gave Wen Zifu a look.

How can I not worry about marrying my daughter?

She went to see Wen Hui again and was secretly grateful.

Wen Hui is simple in her mind and has been thinking about making clothes for cats and dogs these days. She has no idea what the elders think, and now she has not discovered their gaze lawsuit.

In the flower hall in front, Wen Ci and the other two used some warm wine.

After receiving a reminder from his father, Wen Ci asked about Jiang Xu's condition: "Brother Jiang's choice is unexpected."

Jiang Xu laughed and said, "It's true that it's different from ordinary people, which has caused trouble to the adults of the Ministry of Personnel, and I feel very sorry."

"Brother Jiang said before that there are not many family members in Shu," Dai Tianjian paused slightly and said, "Brother Jiang, don't blame me for being straightforward. Brother Jiang insisted on going back. Are you worried about the tension in life in Beijing? Otherwise, bring your family to Beijing..."
