Cining Palace.
Shen Yuze took a short rest here, but did not stay for long.
Lu Shuhui asked with a smile: "Are you leaving now?"
"Otherwise, if I really stay here, those imperial censors will break my spine at the court tomorrow." Shen Yuze said.
"I guess you are thinking about the white-haired monster in your family, right?"
"Tsk... Look at what you said, why should I think about her, this is the person Jingxian entrusted to me."
Shen Yuze's attitude towards Jiang Ya has always been like this.
The biggest reason for staying by her side is that he is afraid that someone will do something bad to her.
When he returned to Prince Yu's Mansion.
There was a more elegant scholar in the yard, dressed a little shabby, and looked like he was only in his thirties or forties.
When he saw Shen Yuze, he performed the etiquette respectfully.
"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness Prince Yu."
Shen Yuze asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
"Your humble servant is Jiang Ya's father, Jiang Shen."
"Oh~ So it's you. I often hear Ya'er talk about you. I heard that you went to work in other places and Jingxian went to Beiliang, so I took the initiative to bring Ya'er with me. I hope Uncle Jiang will not blame me too much."
Jiang Shen smiled humbly, "Before, Miss Jingxian sent me a letter. I have learned about it. I have to thank His Royal Highness Prince Yu for his hard work for Ya'er."
"I will return to Gaojing this time and leave tomorrow."
"Your humble servant wants..."
Jiang Shen was still embarrassed when he spoke.
After all, she is his daughter. Although Prince Yu's Mansion doesn't mind having another mouth, he is so poor that he can't afford anything.
I feel ashamed to let Prince Yu take care of Ya'er.
Shen Yuze understands the unspeakable secrets of men.
"Uncle Jiang, don't worry too much. Jingxian and I have already made an engagement. I treat Yaer as my sister, so you can rest assured."
Jiang Shen nodded gratefully: "I am very relieved."
Before Shen Yuze came back, Jiang Shen had met his daughter.
During this period, following Shen Yuze, after all, she is not like eating one meal and not the next at home. She has gained a lot of weight and is smarter than before.
Shen Yuze ordered: "Come here, serve tea!"
"Uncle Jiang, it's almost dinner time, so stay here and have a meal."
"I also want to ask you something."
Jiang Shen bowed and said: "It's better to obey than to be respectful."
In the evening, at the dinner table, Shen Yuze learned that Jiang Shen has always been a ninth-rank clerk in the mansion of the Lord of Haojing. He is very good at writing, but he can only run errands for those officials.
These days, he was sent to the neighboring Longxi Prefecture to measure the land, and he did all the dirty and tiring work.
Shen Yuze was very surprised.
Jiang Shen seemed to have good character and decent ability, but why didn't he have any chance of promotion for many years?
According to the system of the Dayun court, even if he had to wait, he should be able to reach the seventh rank.
Shen Yuze thought about saying hello to the Lord of Haojing City and promoting Jiang Shen.
As a result, this guy flatly refused.
"Your Highness Prince Yu, you must not do this. I have believed in the teachings of the saints all my life, so how can I do these things that go against the saints' etiquette?"
Yes!
Another person who has become stupid after reading the saints' books.
Shen Yuze had no choice but to refuse the opportunity for promotion.
A ninth-rank official.
Living in Haojing, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, it is not easy to protect yourself.
He didn't care about his daughter Jiang Ya at all.
Fortunately, Jiang Shen was not too pedantic and was willing to leave Silly White Hair in Prince Yu's Mansion, which was what Shen Yuze wanted.
If you follow Jiang Shen, it will make people even more worried.
After a simple dinner in Prince Yu's Mansion, Jiang Shen planned to leave. Before leaving, he called Jiang Ya to his side and told her: "Ya'er, stay in Prince Yu's Mansion, listen to His Royal Highness Prince Yu's words carefully, and don't cause him trouble, understand?"
"Ya'er knows... but Daddy is leaving again?" Silly White Hair said reluctantly.
The father and daughter had lived a very poor life before.
Jiang Shen knew his abilities very well.
As long as he wanted to do it, it wouldn't take long for him to rise to prominence.
In that case, the constraints and burdens on him would become greater and greater.
You can't do what you want to do.
Jiang Shen is not selfish.
He left Gaojing many times, which actually had nothing to do with official business, but wanted to find the whereabouts of Jiang Ya's mother.
Jiang Shen was not willing to tell Shen Yuze.
He just wanted to ask Shen Yuze to take good care of Jiang Ya, so that he would have no worries.
Jiang Ya watched her father leave.
She cried like a child.
Shen Yuze patiently and gently comforted her.
Seeing the silly white-haired man like this, he decided to make a call to the mayor of Gaojing City tomorrow.Greet him and find a suitable excuse to promote Jiang Shen.
…
The next day, the Lord's Mansion of Haojing City.
Shen Yuze came here, and the Lord of the City Shen Ke hurried out to greet him.
"Little nephew? Why are you back?"
Shen Ke was handling official business and was surprised to see this rare guest.
Shen Yuze smiled and said, "Uncle, my nephew is here today because I want you to help me with something."
Shen Ke is the adopted son of the Emperor, originally named Chen Ke, and given the surname Shen.
Since the Emperor's time, he has been serving as the Lord of Haojing, and his friendship with the late Emperor Shen Mingxian is comparable to that of a brother.
There is not much contact between him and Shen Yuze.
After all, they are all family, and they can still let each other know if there is something.
Shen Yuze made his purpose clear.
"Uncle, you have a clerk named Jiang Shen here, right?"
Shen Ke asked, "Nephew, uncle knows why you came."
Now the whole of Haojing knows that Shen Yuze wants to tie the white-haired witch to his belt.
He also brought her with him when he went to Xiangzhou.
Shen Yuze came here just to ask Shen Ke to do him a favor, so that the father and daughter of the Jiang family would not always be separated in the future.
Shen Ke smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that uncle doesn't agree, it's that Jiang Shen is stubborn."
"Do you think my relationship with him is very bad? I almost treat him as my father!"
"This stubborn thing, he doesn't want to be promoted, he has to go to find his wife who is unknown whether she is dead or alive, and he owes me a lot of debts. Of course, I don't care, I just think this person is hopeless."
Shen Ke couldn't understand.
Sixteen years ago, Jiang Shen passed the imperial examination and ranked among the top three. He also had a beautiful wife, Jiang Ya's mother.
After giving birth to Jiang Ya, his mother left without saying goodbye. It has been sixteen years since she left, and there is no trace of her until now.
For an ordinary person, with such a high starting point, the worst that can happen is to marry another one.
But Jiang Shen didn't want to! He insisted on finding a wife!
In fact, it was very simple for him to get promoted, and it was not like what everyone said, that Jiang Ya ruined his future.
Shen Ke told Shen Yuze the truth.
"I also helped him find this matter, but there was no follow-up. He often inquired about the news everywhere, saying that if he wanted to get promoted, he had to do his job and couldn't run around so casually."
"My little nephew, this man is like a stone in a pit."
"Stinky and hard!"
