Chapter 967 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (4)
"My son doesn't dare!"
The brothers met their father's sharp gaze and obediently responded.
Of course, they weren't fools; they knew that a family's fate was intertwined, with everyone sharing both prosperity and adversity.
Harming your family is tantamount to courting death.
Countless people are eyeing the Wei family, hoping to take their place in the Imperial Household Department.
It should be said that during this period, all the men in the Wei family have undergone significant changes.
I know how to work hard and protect my family.
Li Siqi was living a very comfortable life.
I spend every day tending to my little garden.
The entire small garden was covered in lush green grass, with hundreds of flowers in bloom, and a rich fragrance permeated the air.
Anyone who comes here will feel exceptionally peaceful and comfortable.
Zhang Jia and Abu Nai hadn't taken this little garden seriously before.
After they had visited once.
Whenever they have free time, or when they are in a bad mood, the couple will go for a stroll in their daughter's little garden.
Their emotions were quickly calmed down.
It can also make them feel refreshed.
I don't know when it started, but Li Siqi has taken on the fragrance of flowers and plants.
Anyone who gets close to her will feel very comfortable.
Moreover, this fragrance will not disappear.
Zhangjia was both worried and delighted about her daughter's situation.
However, it's not something that can be said aloud, and those in the know can only remain silent.
He never revealed a single word about it to outsiders.
one year later.
Abu Nai discussed with his family, "Some people in the Ministry of Works are being transferred. I'm going to use my connections to get a job there."
"Master, why do you want to leave the Imperial Household Department?"
Zhangjia looked puzzled. "Our foundation is entirely in the Imperial Household Department. If the Master leaves, wouldn't that be the same as abandoning everything in the Imperial Household Department?"
Have you forgotten your family?
Abu Nai smiled at her, "Zhangjia is also in the Imperial Household Department, we can leave your connections to your family."
“Master, you know that my father is just the head of Guangchu.”
Zhangjia didn't know whether to worry or be happy. "Father's future can't compare to that of Master."
If the master had stayed in the Imperial Household Department, it would definitely have been more cost-effective than for the father.
It's said that in a few years, the master might become the head steward.
"There's not much hope."
Abu Nai shook his head at her, "Do you know how complicated the relationships are in the Imperial Household Department? I'll probably be stuck in this position of fifth-rank Xin Zhe Ku Nei Guan Ling for the rest of my life."
Even if we were to achieve a high position, it wouldn't be our family's turn.
We can't compare to them.
If I leave my connections in the Imperial Household Department to my father-in-law, he might still have a chance to be promoted.
"It's much better than me staying in the Imperial Household Department forever."
"Father, what will happen to my little sister if you leave the Imperial Household Department?"
Wei Jiehe frowned. "The Emperor doesn't know when he will hold a preliminary selection."
My younger sister is getting old enough to definitely participate in the selection process.
"If Father isn't in the Imperial Household Department then, who will take care of her?"
"With your maternal grandfather's and our Wei family's connections, are you afraid that anyone will bully Jin'er?"
Abu Nai certainly knew how dangerous the harem was.
But he absolutely could not give his daughter and grandson a lowly status.
As he spoke, his expression grew increasingly resolute, "As long as we work hard and strive for improvement, we can support Jin'er."
No one, regardless of who they are, would dare to easily insult Jin'er.
"Father, your daughter will be alright."
Li Siqi gave him a cute smile, "I won't let anyone bully my daughter."
You and your brothers can rest assured.
"Silly girl, it's only right that I support you."
Abu Nai couldn't help but smile slightly. He then addressed the crowd, saying, "I'm just telling you about this plan."
Whether it will be successful is still unclear.
I will try my best.
If I don't get the chance this time, I'll try again next time.
The meaning is already quite clear.
He will definitely find a way to leave the Imperial Household Department.
Others didn't know whether they should support it or not, but opposing it was definitely out of the question.
“Father, my second brother will be sixteen soon.”
Li Siqi added, "While Father is still at the Imperial Household Department, let's stuff Second Brother inside."
My second brother should also get a proper job.
"also."
Abu Nai already had a plan, and said to Wei Shenxi, "Make preparations. I can't guarantee which place or which place can admit people, so you should go to that place."
"Okay, I'll listen to Father."
Wei Shenxi naturally wouldn't refuse and readily agreed.
Abu Nai turned his gaze to the two illegitimate sons, "You are still young, we can make arrangements a year or two later."
You should also think about what kind of job you want.
"I will arrange anything that is within my power to do for you."
"Yes, Father!"
"Father, we understand!"
Wei Kunming and Wei Liqing responded one after the other.
a few days later.
Wei Shenxi was forced into the Shenxing prison as a lowly soldier.
I have to say, this place is really nice.
Abu Nai specifically instructed his son to do a good job in the Censorate.
Make sure no one gets pushed out.
The only option is to strive to climb the ranks, ideally becoming the head of the Censorate.
Wei Shenxi secretly made a mental note of this goal and worked hard to become the person in charge as soon as possible.
To congratulate her second brother, Li Siqi specially presented him with a traditional Chinese character version of "The Art of Thick-Skinnedness and Black-Heartedness".
Wei Shenxi was both amused and exasperated when she received a gift from her younger sister.
However, once he opened the book, it was like opening the door to a new world.
He immediately felt like he had found a treasure.
He even dragged his older brother to watch it with him.
In the end, all the men in the Wei family had read this book.
Compared to the speed at which Veshinhi entered the Ministry of the Interior, it was not easy or realistic for Abu Nai to get into the Ministry of Works.
In the end, Abu Nai handed over the crossbow and arrow diagram that his daughter had given him, and finally got himself transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Ministry of Works.
Many people don't understand why he left the Imperial Household Department.
After all, everyone knows how much money the Imperial Household Department makes.
Therefore, many people secretly laughed at Abu Nai for being a fool who picked up a sesame seed but lost a watermelon.
Abu Nai ignored the gossip.
He decided to gradually transform the object his daughter had given him.
He believed that with the merits he had made, even if he couldn't get a title, he could still climb up the ranks.
She truly stood up for her daughter and grandson.
The men of the Wei family each strive in their own way.
Zhangjia also got busy.
My eldest son is almost eighteen years old.
The second son was also a sixteen-year-old boy.
They should all get engaged and marry their wives.
Therefore, Zhangjia was very busy.
Only Li Siqi's days remain leisurely.
"Mother, I do not support marrying my cousin from my uncle's family."
Li Siqi expressed her thoughts, "It's not like there aren't other women. My older brother and cousin are too closely related by blood."
They are more likely to give birth to children who are weak and sickly.
From his daughter's perspective, it would be better to choose a woman from his family.
"Your cousin has a nice personality."
Zhangjia still wanted her son to marry her niece, and looked at her eldest son, "Jiehe, what do you think?"
"I do not mind."
Wei Jiehe remained calm, clearly not feeling any particular urge to marry his cousin.
