The old lady smiled and said, "That's great. There are so many civil and military officials in the court. It would be a great honor if we could leave an impression in front of Your Majesty!"

Bo Jinjue was sitting nearby, listening coldly the whole time, but now he sneered: "Why is the news I heard completely different?"

Bo Jinxiu waited for Bo Jinjue and said, "You didn't participate in this matter, how do you know the news? All the news you have is fake!"

Bo Jinjue smiled calmly and said, "Whether it is fake or not is not necessarily true, especially leaving an impression on His Majesty, it is even more ridiculous!"

"you!"

Bo Jinxiu just wanted to get away with it, but he didn't want to be sabotaged by Bo Jinjue.

Rong Qingqing chimed in and asked, "My dear, if the news you heard is not true, you must not tell me, lest you embarrass your brother."

Bo Jinjue sneered: "It couldn't be more true, this is what a casual soldier said!"

"They said that my eldest brother was new to the team and relied on his family background to ride in a cart. He also stayed in a house when he arrived at the place. He even stole the relief grain during the disaster relief!"

"Nonsense! I didn't steal it at all, I just put it aside and distributed it later!"

Bo Jinjue heard this and sneered, "Okay, whatever Big Brother says is what it is. We don't care about it anyway, but outsiders may not see it that way."

Hearing this, Xu threw her sleeves over her face and cried, "That's great. Except for us, everyone in the Third House has become an official. We asked you to follow us to get ahead, but you were lazy and slack, and you were caught. I won't live any longer!"

After Xu called out, the old lady could not blame him. She just frowned and said, "Boss, you are really disappointing!"

Bo Jinxiu had originally decided to behave himself today, but after such a commotion, he lost all his face and became furious. He immediately said, "I am just like this. Don't ask me to make progress in the future!"

After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and went back to his room.

Instead, everyone came to comfort Xu.

When they returned to the room, Xu's tears immediately stopped. She looked coldly at Bo Jinxiu, who was lying on the bed with his face inward, and said, "If I hadn't cried and acted pitiful, I don't know how you would have been punished today!"

Bo Jinxiu moved his body and said lazily: "Anyway, you won't be satisfied with anything I do, so I'd better just be a playboy and do nothing!"

Xu immediately raised her eyes and said angrily and sternly, "Bo Jinjue and Bo Jinnian have both been promoted to higher positions, and you are still just a commoner. Are you going to let them bully us in the future?"

Bo Jinxiu said impatiently: "Who dares to bully us? I have always said before that we should just enjoy our wealth and honor. This mansion will not lack us."

Mrs. Xu was so disappointed that she covered her belly and said, "I don't want my child to have to live under someone else's control after he is born!"

Bo Jinxiu was already feeling guilty and angry, and could not bear to hear Xu's repeated accusations, so he turned over and sat up and said, "You lost to the two of them, and now you are forcing me. If you have the guts, take back the housekeeper's rights!"

Xu was so angry that she responded, "Do you think I don't want to? Who made me pregnant?"

As the two were arguing, there was a knock on the door. They immediately looked at each other, exchanged glances, and instantly stood in a line.

"Who?"

Seeing Bo Jinxiu waving at her, Xu asked.

"It's me, Bo Jinnian. I'm looking for my eldest brother."

Bo Jinxiu had a better impression of Bo Jinnian, and he didn't know why he came so late, so he immediately stood up and agreed: "Wait for me, I'll open the door right away."

Xu adjusted her expression and sat up straight. Bo Jinxiu put on his coat and walked over to open the door.

Bo Jinnian nodded to Xu and said, "Brother, you have been with me all this time. Even if you have no merit, you have worked hard. Although I cannot give you a good position, a clerk is still fine. I just want to let you down."

A clerk is a person who works under the chief clerk and is responsible for document arrangement and record keeping. He is considered the lowest-level clerical official in a department, has no rank, and his salary is not much.

For this kind of position, Bo Jinnian can still promote himself by reporting it to the Ministry of Personnel.

Upon hearing this, Xu immediately got excited and stood up, holding the maid's hand and said, "Third brother, come in and sit down!"

When Bo Jinxiu heard this, he immediately said, "That's right, go in and sit down and talk."

Bo Jinnian said a little embarrassedly: "This position is indeed very low. If you don't want to be it, it's okay. I will find a way."

Xu agreed immediately, "How can I refuse Third Brother's kindness? Although this position is low now, it is still a position in the government. It means I have stepped into the door with both feet. I can move up in the future!"

Bo Jinxiu also showed his usual confidence: "I am your elder brother, well-educated and knowledgeable, and being a clerk is a piece of cake!"

Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, he will definitely not cause any trouble to you, Third Brother!"

Bo Jinnian was relieved to see that they happily accepted it, and said with a smile: "That's it, follow me to the government office tomorrow."

Xu and Bo Jinxiu sent Bo Jinnian away together.

Shen Yiran was sitting in the room making knee pads with Ji Siyue. These were prepared in advance for Bo Jinnian, one for each mother and daughter.

Seeing Bo Jinnian come back with a relaxed look on his face, Shen Yiran joked, "I just told Yueyue that you will feel uncomfortable if you don't try to be a good person."

Bo Jinnian smiled faintly and changed the subject.

"What are you doing?"

Ji Siyue raised the knee pad in his hand and said, "Mom said it would be too late to wait until the temperature drops, so let's prepare in advance."

Bo Jinnian was very touched, and looked at Shen Yiran and said, "Thank you, my lady."

Shen Yiran smiled slightly: "I was thinking of asking her to prepare a gift for you before Yueyue leaves."

After hearing this, Bo Jinnian finally remembered it, rubbed the back of his head and admitted, "I was so busy that I forgot about it! I will arrange it tomorrow."

Ji Siyue chuckled: "Mom also said that Dad must have been too busy and forgot about my matter, so she asked me to do it in person to remind Dad!"

Bo Jinnian smiled and apologized to Ji Siyue: "Daddy really forgot. I'm sorry. I will help you arrange it tomorrow."

Shen Yiran immediately said, "Don't go too far. Where is your friend? If you are out of town, let's help him get a house and come to Kyoto, right?"

Bo Jinnian smiled and said, "Don't worry, he is practicing in Xuantian Mountain outside the city, not far away."

Shen Yiran was relieved: "I will send Yueyue there myself."

Bo Jinnian nodded and said, "Of course. But we don't need too many people or too many things. My friend is a hermit who practices Buddhism and doesn't want to be involved in worldly affairs."

Shen Yiran smiled lightly and said, "My Lord, you don't need to hint at me. I won't prepare two carriages for Yueyue like my second sister-in-law did. Since we are in the mountains of Xuantian Temple, just bring some clothes with you."
