Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 505: Landy Wen's friends come to her home

After this palace examination, Wen Lan really did not accept any more students. However, she once again proved her stubborn and arrogant character, and many officials kept their distance from her.

He wanted to do this, he didn't want to be wooed by any faction, he just wanted to be a loyal official. At worst, he would stay in this position until he retired at an old age.

Until now, he no longer thinks that high official positions and generous salaries are a blessing, but rather a burden. He no longer has the enthusiasm he had when he first entered the officialdom, and all he has is gratitude for his current situation.

Many of those who served as officials in the court with him at that time have already left or been dismissed from office, and some, like Ye Yanzhi, have even been exiled to the frontier.

The officialdom is full of traps, and many people will do anything to get promoted. If he had not been cautious and loyal, he might have been out of here long ago.

The reason why I accepted the three brothers of the Su family this time was because I saw that they were smart enough to step out from the bottom step by step. They had intelligence and wisdom that others did not have, and Ye Yanzhi told them the warnings of their family little by little.

This can help them avoid many detours. The three children are also very compatible with his temperament. They are smart and introverted, and they know when to advance and retreat and when to lose. This is the most basic principle of being an official.

Su Feng is his son-in-law now, so he will take good care of them and lead them to enter the officialdom smoothly. As for the future official career, even his own children cannot guarantee a smooth sailing.

He decided to observe their situation in the coming year and remind them at any time, so that at least they can pass the assessment smoothly. When the Ministry of Personnel arranges official positions, he can find a good position for them.

Now the capital has known that the handsome scholar has become the son-in-law of Grand Secretary Wen Lan. Everyone is happy to hear this, but of course some people lament that they acted too late.

The whole capital was waiting for the number one scholar to marry, and after waiting for a long time, it was heard that he had proposed to marry a granddaughter of the left prime minister. People knew that the top three in the first class were all taken, and the runner-up was already married.

The top three had no chance, so the other unmarried Jinshi candidates on the list could also be selected. Many people heard that Su Tanhua's two elder brothers had also passed the Jinshi exam, so many families came to inquire about the news.

Even a bad guy has three good brothers. Just now, one of Wen Lan’s good friends found him and asked about the other two students.

Wen Lan told the truth, of course, and talked about the situation of the Su family. They were not from a high family background, but they had a good family tradition and their family conditions had been good in recent years. Moxiangzhai was opened by his family in cooperation with the Ninth Prince, but their hometown was far away. In the future, the Su family would return to the border town, which was their home.

He also talked about his initial hesitation, but children are debts, and if they are willing, their parents have no choice but to agree. The most gratifying thing is that the Su family is good, and the children of the Su family are well educated.

His good friend was an official in the Ministry of Revenue, named Cui Hao. They had similar personalities, so they often played chess and drank together. In fact, he had also seen the three brothers, but he had not seen them carefully.

This was after hearing that the Wen family and the Su family had become in-laws, and his wife came home and said that he didn't care about her daughter. Look, Landy Wen had already arranged such a good marriage for her child, but he was not in a hurry.

I had no choice but to come over and ask, if the Su family is good, I can also let the two children meet. If it works out, it will be a good thing, so I don't have to go home and be complained all the time.

Now that he knows the situation of the Su family, he is not the kind of person who bullies the weak, otherwise he would still be waiting for the prince to choose a concubine! He just wants to find a family with a good reputation so that his daughter will not be bullied and live a stable and happy life.

He raised his hand and saluted Wen Lan, saying, "Brother Wen, I still need you to worry about it. Ask my sister-in-law to mediate and see if the child can meet him. I think his age should be suitable for Su Pei."

Landy Wen smiled and said, "This is a good thing. My wife will definitely be willing to do it. Just wait for my good news. Let's let the children meet first. If there is a chance, we can talk about the follow-up."

The two agreed to wait for Mrs. Wen to go to the Su family to inquire about the result tomorrow. Wen Lan knew that if her wife went to ask, the Su family would definitely consider it carefully, after all, they were in-laws and would not introduce anyone randomly.
