The next day, after breakfast, Shen Wan took Yinshuang back to Pingyang Hou Mansion.

When the carriage stopped, the gatekeeper diligently helped move the footstool. Yin Shuang got off the carriage first, and then helped Shen Wan down.

As soon as Shen Wan entered the second door, she saw Shen Wei running over from a distance. When she saw her, she smiled like a flower and waved repeatedly, "Sister..."

When she came closer, Shen Wan smiled angrily and said, "Why are you running in such a hurry? You're not afraid of falling."

Shen Wei took Shen Wan's arm affectionately, "I was still thinking of going to Prince Ling's Mansion to find eldest sister, but I didn't expect eldest sister to come back first."

Shen Wan smiled and said, "My fourth uncle is promoted, I will definitely come back to congratulate him."

Shen Wei said, "It's my father's turn to thank King Ling."

Shen Wei's face was filled with a smile, and she was indescribably grateful to Shen Wan in her heart. Her eldest sister saved her from being disfigured, helped her get engaged to the prince of Wei Guogong, and also supported her. She even told them about the separation of the family. Now, She even helped her father get promoted. It was not easy to get promoted to one level. Unexpectedly, she was promoted to two levels all of a sudden. It was like a dream.

Shen Wan smiled and said, "My fourth uncle is now a full fourth-rank official. You are engaged to the prince of Wei Guogong. You can't be bullied by others casually in the future."

Shen Wei nodded repeatedly.

The two of them walked towards Qinghui Courtyard, and Shen Wei whispered, "Prince Ling recommended my father to the emperor, but the second uncle failed, and the old lady was very unhappy..."

Shen Wan could guess that the old lady was unhappy, but she didn't know that the old lady was happy yesterday.

Prince Jin helped the second master find the position of weapons supervisor. Of course, Prince Jin helped the second master for his own sake. The old lady was sure that King Jin would be established as the crown prince sooner or later. Prince Jin spared no effort to help the second master. That army The position of equipment supervisor is the second master's bag.

In the Hou Mansion, not only the old lady thought so, but everyone, including the fourth bedroom, thought so.

The people in the palace came to the Hou Mansion to report the good news, saying that the emperor had appointed the master of the house as the military supervisor. Without specifying which master it was, the servant in the Hou Mansion assumed that it was the second master, and he couldn't wait to tell the old lady the good news. Knowing this, the old lady was very happy and rewarded the prince's family with two months' worth of money.

As a result, after the rewards were given, the letter of appointment from the Ministry of Civil Affairs was also delivered. The second master went to receive the letter of appointment in a hurry, only to realize that it was not for him, but for the fourth master.

The fourth master was also present at that time, so he was confused.

The fourth master suspected that the officials had made a mistake. How could it be given to him?

The third master said, "Are you sure?"

The Minister of Civil Affairs smiled and said, "This is no small matter. How could it be wrong?"

The second master's face turned pale, "I wonder who recommended me, the fourth master of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion?"

The Minister of Civil Affairs did not hide anything, and said truthfully, "It was recommended by King Ling."

With that said, he congratulated the Fourth Master, "Congratulations to the Fourth Master Shen for being promoted to two ranks."

One sentence made the second master and the third master change their faces.

The second master is the fourth grade, the third master is the fourth grade, and the fourth master is the fifth grade. They have not changed for several years.

The second master was demoted, and even if he wanted to change to a more powerful position, the fourth master was promoted two ranks and took the post of Ordnance Supervisor, surpassing the second master.

The second and third masters tolerated the presence of outsiders. The fourth master accepted the letter of appointment, invited the minister of staff to drink tea, and then sent him out of the house.

After the people from the official department left, the second master also threw up his sleeves and left. Except for the fourth bedroom, in this huge Hou Mansion, only Shen Jing was truly happy for the fourth master.

Shen Wei is engaged to the Crown Prince of Wei, and she is the wife of the Crown Prince of Wei. She is a hundred times better than what Shen Rong is marrying. This already made the old lady unhappy, but now there is another reason why the old lady does not like the fourth house.

After entering Qinghui Courtyard, Shen Wan walked around the screen and entered the room. She saw the old lady sitting on the Arhat couch, playing with the Buddhist beads quickly in her hand.

Shen Wan stepped forward and bowed to the old lady. The old lady raised her eyelids and glanced at Shen Wan. Her eyes were so cold that it sent chills down the back.

But it only lasted for a moment. When Shen Wan wanted to take a closer look again, the cold light in the old lady's eyes had disappeared, but her face was still ugly.

In addition to the old lady, there was also the second wife in the room, and even Shen Ying was there, but she looked at Shen Wan with a look like a knife being shot at her.

Shen Wan only stretched her lower body and stood up straight. The old lady looked at her and said, "Does Prince Ling know that your second uncle wants to be a weapons supervisor?"

Although the old lady tried her best to endure it, Shen Wan still heard the old lady's anger.

Shen Wan said, "No one told me this."

Although Shen Wan knew it, the old lady and her second wife didn't send anyone to tell her what the boy she bribed had reported to her.

Shen Wan pretended to be dumbfounded, and Shen Ying went crazy with anger, "Even if you don't know, Prince Ling should know!"

So what if you know?

Should she follow Xie Jingyin to recommend her father if she knew it?

Where did you get such a big face? !

Shen Wan knew that she would be criticized if she came back to express her congratulations. Since she dared to come back, she would not be the one who would be angered in the end.

Shen Wan glanced at Shen Ying and said, "Isn't it a good thing for the emperor to appoint the fourth uncle? The second uncle is appointed as the weapons supervisor, but it is just changing from a fourth-grade official to another fourth-grade official. The fourth uncle is different. The official is promoted by two levels, and the weapons are Now that the prisoner has real power, the status of our Pingyang Marquis Mansion in the court has been raised to a higher level. Aren’t the second sisters happy for the Marquis Mansion?"

Happy?

She was about to explode!

The fourth master is appointed as the weapons supervisor, which is a good thing for the fourth house and the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, but not for their second house!

But Shen Ying couldn't say these words, otherwise it would appear that she was too selfish. This was also the reason why the old lady was angry but still held back.

As the old lady of the Hou Mansion, she must first consider the sake of the Hou Mansion, and secondly, be alone in a certain room.

The old lady fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "Unexpectedly, neither the eldest prince nor King Jin succeeded in recommending me. Instead, the emperor listened to King Ling's recommendation."

Shen Wan said casually, "Maybe it's because Prince Ling has no intention of seizing the throne, and the emperor has never considered him."

In this way, the old lady can understand.

Nowadays, the King of Jin and the eldest prince have equal power in the court. Although the official position of the Military Inspector is not high, his weight is not light. Whoever the emperor gives side to will increase the bargaining chip of that party to seize the heir. The emperor is in the prime of his life. I don't want to establish a prince early, and I am expected to die every day to make way for the prince.

Although the post of Ordnance Supervisor still fell into the hands of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, it was in the hands of the second master, who belonged to the King of Jin, and in the hands of the fourth master, it could not be counted as such.

The old lady didn't believe that a prince who had been demoted by the emperor and guarded the imperial mausoleum for four years could influence the emperor's decision. However, the old lady was still unhappy that a bastard was overpowering her two biological sons.

Shen Ying clenched her teeth and her internal organs ached with anger.

She knew that it would not be easy to get the title and military power of Pingyang Marquis Mansion, but she couldn't get even a weapons supervision order, so she was really unwilling to do so.

Even she, Shen Wan, dared to flirt with Prince Ling and ruin Prince Jin's good deeds, just wait for the queen to take advantage of her!
