Xiao Hanzheng was also the first to know about this matter.
After he returned, he told Shi Qingluo about it.
Shi Qingluo leaned against the sofa. “I’m afraid that your scumbag father went to the northern border with a task on hand.”
Xiao Hanzheng said in a low voice, “The emperor probably wants him to restrain King Jin and find the treasure.
“But this is not so easy to accomplish. It depends on my scumbag father’s performance.”!!
Shi Qingluo thought for a moment and asked, “Will your father be persuaded by King Jin and betray the emperor?”
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment and said, “That’s hard to say.
“According to my father’s character, he wouldn’t do such a thing unless he had no other choice.
“After all, the possibility of King Jin’s rebellion succeeding isn’t very high.”
After the emperor ascended to the throne, his influence over the northern border wasn’t actually weak.
At most King Jin didn’t know about it.
Of course, it was also unlikely that his scumbag father knew about it.
Shi Qingluo nodded. “Your scumbag father’s trip to the northern border will be very lively.
“It’s about time to let Ge Chunru know who really caused her brother’s death.”
Xiao Hanzheng chuckled. “I think so too.
“This time, we extorted 50,000 taels of silver. After my scumbag father went to the northern border, his finances will be rather tight.
“Some things might not be so easy to carry out.”
Shi Qingluo curled her lips. “Serves him right. Who asked him to be such a scumbag?”
“Ge Chunying must have a lot of resentment in her heart for spitting out 20,000 taels of silver.”
He heard that if there was a backyard with many women, regardless of whether a woman was favored or not, her expenses were not small.
If she was favored, she had to spend money to win the hearts of others.
If she was not favored, she had to spend money to make her life easier.
At that moment, she heard that Ge Chunying was quite favored.
At first, she thought that the second prince had a unique taste and really liked Ge Chunying.
But that day, when they had dinner together and she and the others mocked Ge Chunying, the second prince didn’t get angry.
It didn’t seem like it.
A few days ago, she overheard Qi Yiyang say that Ge Chunying wanted to scheme against the second prince, so the second prince deliberately spoiled her.
His goal was to roast Ge Chunying on the fire.
If she was too pampered in the backyard, she would definitely be targeted by other women.
Only then did Shi Qingluo realize that it was possible for a man to do this when he wanted to clean up a woman in the backyard.
Xiao Hanzheng said, “He must have a lot of resentment in his heart.
“Those from the second prince’s residence sent a message over. Ge Chunying only sobbed to Ge Chunru about how difficult it was in the backyard of the second prince’s residence. The expenses were also extraordinarily high.
“Then, she deliberately let a servant girl pawn some things in front of Ge Chunru to consolidate 20,000 taels of silver to give her.
“Ge Chunru felt sorry for her, so she added that when she returned to the northern border, she would gather the money as soon as possible and get someone to send it to Ge Chunying.
“Ge Chunying pretended to decline and be considerate to ask Ge Chunru to take care of herself.
“She didn’t need to care about her. This made Ge Chunru even more touched and thoughtful of her.
“So, when my scumbag father goes to the northern border, as long as the authority as the lady of the house returns to Ge Chunru, he will definitely lose a large sum of money.”
Shi Qingluo smiled. “Ge Chunying’s scheming is really much better than her sister’s.”
Ge Chunying felt uncomfortable being asked for money, but she knew that if her biological sister went to jail, it would definitely affect her reputation and status in the second prince’s residence.
Therefore, she definitely couldn’t let Ge Chunru go to jail.
Moreover, she should be able to guess that Ge Chunru had no other choice.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to her to ask for money.
It was also because she had to take out this money no matter what, so she didn’t complain.
She deliberately pawned things in front of Ge Chunru to raise money, and kept complaining that it wasn’t easy living in the second prince’s residence.
This made Ge Chunru feel distressed and guilty.
In the future, she would only finance her more.
Come to think of it, Ge Chunru’s behavior in the modern world was very typical of a devil helping her younger brother and sister.
Whoever had the worst luck would be the unlucky ones.
Of course, if that scumbag father had the worst luck, they would only clap their hands in satisfaction.
Moreover, just like those devils helping their younger brothers and sisters, her younger brother and sister might not be grateful and kind to her in the end.
Once they were used to enjoying their elder sister’s efforts, they would feel that Ge Chunru was supposed to do everything that she had done for them.
She added, “Then send a message to Tao Liu. Tell her to go to the northern border and not to ask for the housekeeper’s authority. Let Ge Chunru continue to be what she wishes to be.”
Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “I’ll get someone to send a message to Liu Ru in the next few days.”
Shi Qingluo asked, “When do you think the emperor will let you go to the northern border? What position will it be?”
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment. “It should be soon. I guess there will be a task for me in the next three months.
“If it’s a position, it’s most likely to be a county magistrate.
“Although I’m the top scorer, I don’t have the qualifications, so it’s most suitable for me to climb up from a county magistrate.
“Being a county magistrate is also the easiest to achieve results.”
Didn’t Mo Qingling start from the county magistrate position.
Sometimes, although the starting point of a small official seemed to be very low, there was a great chance of promotion.
It was easier to accumulate achievements if one was transferred outside.
If one was in the capital, it was basically impossible to climb up quickly.
Furthermore, the capital was like a radish in a pit.
Without achievements, who would be convinced if someone was promoted?
Although there was quite a bit of danger in going to the northern border, it also represented opportunities and endless possibilities.
The key was to do something practical for the people.
Shi Qingluo nodded. “That’s true.”
All new recruits had to rise through the ranks.
Other than lacking in skills and expertise, they also needed to accumulate some experience.
She also felt that it was quite good for him to start from a county magistrate.
The next day, Ge Chunru went to the second prince’s residence in a horse carriage.
She had sent the invitation over yesterday, and her sister said that she had already informed the imperial consort and that she could visit.
On the way, she would occasionally hear people chatting, and they mentioned something about a bicycle several times.
She asked her servant girl, “What is a bicycle?”
Her servant girl had heard about it. “Two days ago, a few young masters of the public administrative houses rode bicycles around the streets. I heard that they are a kind of transportation tool. They can move by stepping on them with two feet and they are very fast.
“They are made of rubber that became famous recently.”
Although her Madam was previously grounded, she could chat with the other servant girls in the manor at the gate of her courtyard, so she had heard of this.
She recalled that Madam had been grounded in the courtyard recently, so she told Ge Chunru about what she knew about rubber and rubber-soled leather shoes.
Ge Chunru’s expression changed when she heard it, and she gritted her teeth.
It was actually Shi Qingluo’s doings again.
How could that wretched girl have so many ideas in her head?
In the past, she did not really believe that there was an old immortal, but now she somewhat believed it.
Xiao Hanzheng, this little b * stard, was really lucky.
Not only did he survive, he even married the disciple of the old immortal.
“Enough, don’t say anymore. It’s just a bicycle, there’s nothing strange about it.”
She endured the hatred and jealousy in her heart and said disdainfully, “If you don’t sit on a comfortable carriage and insist on riding a bicycle, you are just short changing yourself.”
Because of this, the servant girl did not dare to say anything more, but she did not agree with her in her heart.
She had heard that riding a bicycle was very eye-catching.
Moreover, she did not need to buy a carriage or a horse, much less hire a coachman.
It would be much easier to ride it by herself.
Her Madam must have slandered it because she had a grudge against the Xiao family.
She was too narrow-minded.
