Bo Jinxiu saw that he had gained nothing from this trip and showed an anxious look on his face, but he saw that Bo Jinnian was still winking at him, as if asking him not to speak.

Marquis Yongyi had prepared a trap and was waiting for Bo Jinxiu to fall into it, but Bo Jinnian was perceptive and could not say anything in front of the emperor, so the others withdrew.

As they were leaving, Marquis Yongyi deliberately found Bo Jinxiu and asked, "I wonder what Dalang is doing here with the Marquis? Why didn't he say a word?"

Bo Jinnian said immediately: "I originally wanted to ask His Majesty to give my elder brother a position as a reward, but I thought about it and felt that if I made such a request, the officials might not accept it, so I didn't mention it."

Bo Jinxiu was so angry that he remained silent.

As soon as they got on the carriage, Bo Jinxiu complained, "Third brother, if you don't want me to get the position, just tell me earlier. I won't go with you to see the emperor. You make me feel like a slave!"

Bo Jinnian looked at Marquis Yongyi getting on the carriage and said with a heavy face, "Fortunately, big brother had the sense not to speak. If he had spoken just now, he would have fallen into Marquis Yongyi's trap!"

Bo Jinxiu snorted when he heard this: "Marquis Yongyi and I have no grudges in the past or today, so why are you targeting me? Are you targeting you?"

Bo Jinxiu is not stupid. He is the eldest son and has been trained as the heir in the family. He has been following his father in official circles since he was a child. He has seen a lot and knows a lot.

But he was still not in pain.

Because all his efforts on this trip were in vain because of Bo Jinnian.

Bo Jinnian pondered and said, "We still need to know what traps Marquis Yongyi has prepared for us, otherwise it will be easy for us to step on them later."

Bo Jinxiu was too lazy to care. He looked at the wall of the carriage with his hands, full of anger: "Stop the car, I want to get off and have a drink!"

Bo Jinnian advised, "Brother, we haven't been home for a while, we should go back and pay our respects to the old lady and the ladies first."

Bo Jinxiu pretended not to hear, put his hands behind his back and walked away angrily.

Bo Jinnian had no choice but to say to the driver, "Let's go back to the government office first."

He didn't want to go back first, as it would seem that Bo Jinxiu was unfilial and had no respect for rules and elders. He could only wait until Bo Jinxiu was willing to go back, and then go back together.

However, Bo Jinnian still sent someone to deliver a message to Shen Yiran, saying that they were back.

Shen Yiran was very happy and started preparing in advance.

During the month when Bo Jinnian and Bo Jinxiu were away from home, Bo Jinjue and Rong Qingqing continued to win over the old lady at home.

Shen Yiran did not interfere. As long as they did not cause any trouble for him, he let them do what they wanted.

With the help of Marquis Yongyi, Bo Jinjue was promoted again and became the head clerk. He could speak directly to Bo Jinnian, the deputy examiner.

Rong Qingqing was concerned about her child and tried every means to get the child back from the college.

It was only this point that Shen Yiran obstructed her many times, preventing her from succeeding.

Rong Qingqing was very dissatisfied with Ji Siyue who lived in the mansion.

Ji Siyue was waiting for Bo Jinnian to come back this time to help her arrange a master, and she was also about to leave home.

Shen Yiran was very reluctant to let him go, and wanted Bo Jinnian to find a good friend in Kyoto to look after him.

Rong Qingqing suggested to the old lady several times: "Old lady, I have to say that Ji Siyue is a wild girl and has no rules. She should be taught by a nanny!"

"Old Madam, I saw Ji Siyue climbing over the wall and climbing a tree again. Is she still a girl? If people knew about this, how would the girls in our mansion get married in the future?"

"Old Madam, I am worried about our Tuantuan. If the news gets out, what will people think of the family style of the Marquis' Mansion? Didn't you hear that the Taifu family was dismissed because they didn't teach their children well?"

After all, the elderly have to consider the overall situation. When they heard Rong Qingqing muttering in their ears every day, they felt that the situation had become much more serious, so they called Shen Yiran to ask.

"Don't worry, old lady. The Marquis has already made arrangements for Yueyue, and Yueyue is willing. When the Marquis comes back, he will send the child to study."

After hearing this, the old lady thought about it and nodded, "Since it is Jinnian's decision, then it's fine."

Rong Qingqing became more and more angry and made things difficult for Ji Siyue everywhere. Several times, Ji Siyue made her so angry that she couldn't eat. She reported it to Shen Yiran, but Shen Yiran didn't care.

Bo Jinxiu came to the private room in Zuixianlou where he usually sat angrily and drank alone.

He knew that he had to go back soon and couldn't get drunk, so he didn't call any friends over. He just ordered two pots of wine and some dishes and drank them slowly.

Moreover, he didn't expect to hear a loud noise coming from the next box, in which Bo Jinxiu's name was mentioned, which made Bo Jinxiu very surprised. He immediately dropped his wine glass and went to the wall to eavesdrop.

It turned out that it was Marquis Yongyi's steward who was receiving the soldiers prepared for today.

"Everything was originally prepared in the palace today, to make sure that lazy Bo Jinxiu would be defeated, but who knew he would dodge it again!"

Another soldier sneered and imitated Bo Jinxiu's voice and said, "You and I were not born in the same class. If I want to be an official, I can get one easily! Ugh!"

Bo Jinxiu clenched his fists in anger and leaned closer to listen.

The housekeeper of the Marquis of Yongyi said, "Our Lord said that this matter will not end like this. When Bo Jinxiu really enters the officialdom, you will go to the Censorate and report him!"

"Let him take office early and leave office late! That would be a complete joke!"

Everyone next door laughed.

Bo Jinxiu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, stopped drinking, threw down a piece of silver and ran out of the door.

Bo Jinnian's carriage was waiting at the intersection. When he saw that Bo Jinxiu had actually walked all the way back, he immediately ordered the carriage to go over to greet him.

Seeing that it was Bo Jinnian's carriage, Bo Jinxiu looked a little ashamed. He got on the carriage, looked at Bo Jinnian and said, "Didn't my third brother go back first?"

Bo Jinnian said calmly, "I brought my elder brother with me out here, so naturally I will bring him back with me."

Bo Jinxiu was very touched and reached out to pat Bo Jinnian's shoulder.

After returning to the mansion, they chatted. The old lady asked about what happened along the way. Bo Jinnian naturally helped Bo Jinxiu cover up everywhere. The old lady and Xu were very happy to hear that.

Xu immediately asked, "Then did His Majesty give any reward after he found out?"

Before Bo Jinnian could speak, Bo Jinxiu rushed to say, "What are you thinking? Just by following along, you think you can get an official position. That's too easy. It will embarrass His Majesty!"

After hearing this, Xu immediately said with a bitter face, "Does that mean you got nothing?"

Bo Jinxiu covered himself up: "How can you say there is nothing left? I have exposed myself in front of His Majesty. If His Majesty knows, he will think of me first in the future!"
