Xu Chaoqian spent a long time talking about his experiences in the northwest, but all he got were Xu Rongrong's caring words.

If you say he is unfilial, her eyes will turn red and her voice will choke.

But if she is said to be sincere, she has no actual actions at all.

Not to mention taking the initiative to try to transfer him back to the capital, he had already described his embarrassing situation of being short of money, and she didn't even see her taking out half a penny.

He used to believe that the eldest daughter had no money, but now that she was the head of the county and was about to marry into the Hou family, how could she have no money?

Look at the grandeur of this Zhuxiang Yayuan, with the aristocratic temperament everywhere.

So, he was anxious!

"In my life, I have three daughters and one son, but you are the only one who is promising! With a husband like the Marquis, it is not in vain that I tried my best to take you to the Chinese Valentine's Day Banquet!"

Seeing that he still had the nerve to mention the Chinese Valentine's Day Banquet, Xu Rongrong almost laughed angrily.

In order to deprive her of the opportunity to enter the palace to attend the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet, Mrs. Xu Liu did not hesitate to poison her!Fortunately, Xu Chaoqian's immediate superior, Lu Shangshu, was an upright man. He repeatedly warned that Your Majesty hates families that do not differentiate between elders and younger ones. His Majesty would definitely be unhappy if he brought a younger daughter into the palace instead of his unmarried eldest daughter. He also sent the royal doctor to come. Detoxifying her allowed her to enter the palace and attend banquets in this life.

There was no sign of him "thinking of any possible means" in the whole matter!

Xu Rongrong raised her eyebrows slightly: "If my father hadn't told me, my daughter would have almost forgotten that the illness came out of nowhere. Even the doctor in the palace said that my daughter didn't look like she was sick, but more like she was poisoned."

Xu Chaoqian: "..."

He subconsciously raised his sleeves and wiped the non-existent beads of sweat on his forehead: "How... is this happening? The royal doctor never mentioned it to my father."

Xu Rongrong smiled: "Although the mansion had a large population at that time, it was well organized under Madam's jurisdiction. If my daughter was really poisoned, wouldn't the poisoner be obvious? What would the palace doctor do even if he mentioned it?"

"Sister Rong is right." Xu Chaoqian moved his eyes away, "It's just that others don't know. Don't you know what Madam's fate is now? Sister Rong, you have always been sensible, so don't care about it like a dead person, okay?"

He went on to say, "My father is getting older. I didn't feel that in Beijing in the past. Now I have been to the northwest, and I realize that once people get older, they miss their children the most. My father really can't bear to be too far away from Sister Rong... …When I think about the fact that after your wedding banquet, you and my daughter will be thousands of miles apart, it makes my father’s heart feel as uncomfortable as being pricked by needles.”

When he said this, he stopped, just waiting for his daughter to continue.

But Xu Rongrong seemed to be in a trance and had no intention of answering.

Xu Chaoqian waited for a long time with big eyes and small eyes, and then he could only continue: "I wonder if Sister Rong is willing to go to His Majesty to plead for my father, so that my father can retire in the capital. My father does not care about the fifth-rank official, what kind of work can he do?" By Sister Rong's side, my father is willing to continue to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry."

Aunt Xiao on the side was dumbfounded.

She has been in Beijing for many years, and this is the first time she has seen her father do this!

The official in the capital didn't try his best to climb up the ladder for the sake of his clan's children, but this one wanted to live under his daughter's wings.

Although her county head has a title, she has no one in the clan to rely on. It is difficult for the clan to rely only on the Marquis's love and His Majesty's reward. As a result, her father, who is an official in the court, not only does not want to help, but instead I wish I could be a coward!

A breath caught in his chest.

He couldn't help but said: "The county master and the master are chatting first, and the slave girl is going to take a look at the two rabbits. She is used to eating free food in the mansion every day. Luo Shu took her out once in the past two days, and she had diarrhea when she came back." of."

Xu Rongrong raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Xu Chaoqian frowned and scolded: "You are too unruly, mother-in-law. I am talking to the eldest lady. You can just leave on your own if you have something to do. Are you using this as a distraction?"

Aunt Xiao smiled and saluted: "It's rude, mother-in-law. I'm afraid that my county master's ears are soft, so when I saw that the rabbit was wilted, I didn't want to let it go out. How can I keep this rabbit in captivity in the house?" Now that we are living comfortably, we will give birth to little rabbits one after another, and they will all stay in the house and eat for free. Who can afford to raise them... Master, do you think so?"

Xu Chaoqian's face turned red with anger.

Why couldn't he tell that this woman was trying to squeeze on him? But she was not in his own house now, and this woman was once a member of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion. He didn't dare to get angry even if he wanted to!He had no choice but to wave his hand and ask her to retreat.

Aunt Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to him and just looked at her county master.

Xu Rongrong smiled and nodded: "Mom, go and do your work, I understand."

After Aunt Xiao walked away, Xu Chaoqian said bitterly: "The servants in Sister Rong's house need to be in order. They are all so unruly."

"What my father said is that it's a pity that my mother died early, and I couldn't follow Mrs. Xu to receive education from a young age like my second sister, so I had to feel wronged by my father."

When Xu Chaoqian saw this, he felt like he was punched in the cotton, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

The topic just now was interrupted by Aunt Xiao, but Xu Chaoqian did not give up and brought it up again.

Xu Rongrong sighed after hearing this: "My daughter understands what my father means, but... although my daughter is the head of the county, she is not a clan relative and has no merit, and she is still a woman... How can I talk about government affairs lightly in front of His Majesty?" "

"You can't say that." Xu Chaoqian narrowed his eyes slightly, "You are not only the county owner, but also the wife of a first-rank military marquis! Although you are not a clan relative, the marquis is His Majesty's nephew. If he is asked to come forward, It shouldn’t be difficult to arrange a job for my father.”

"It's not difficult." Xu Rongrong nodded thoughtfully.

Xu Chaoqian was overjoyed when he heard this, but Xu Rongrong's next words extinguished all his hopes: "It's just that my daughter is afraid that this move will be counterproductive. Her father did not participate in court discussions when he was an official in the court, so your Majesty is not impressed by you. But if the Marquis comes forward to ask you to be transferred back to the capital, I think your Majesty will definitely take action."

"Isn't this just right?"

"However, there is a severe shortage of civil servants at the border of our country, which is often led by military generals. My father must have known about this when he was an official in the court... and most of the troops under the jurisdiction of the Marquis are distributed on the border. If your Majesty takes this opportunity to let him promote talents, If you don’t avoid relatives, wouldn’t it be counterproductive to transfer you to a border post?”

Xu Chaoqian was speechless.

Although the northwest is hard work, it is a hundred times more comfortable than the frontier. Why are so few civil servants able to settle on the border?The reason is very simple - because most people can't stay for half a year. They either die of illness locally or return to Beijing due to illness...

He can't go to that kind of place, he can't go!

"Of course you can't go." Xu Chaoqian waved his hands quickly.

He has only passed his forties, and he hasn’t lived enough yet!
