In this first class, the top scholar Lan Jin was appointed as the attendant of the Hanlin Academy by His Royal Highness the Grand Prince, and was appointed as the sixth rank official position. The second-rank Fu Jingen and Tanhua Zheng Mingtai were appointed as the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and were appointed as the sixth rank editor.

Mrs. Gu was very happy and said to Qingshu: "Your father is only a sixth-rank official. Jingen is only twenty years old, which is one level worse than him."

Qingshu said: "Mom, not only did my father's other careers in his exams, but he was not very good at all."

Of course, having a background or investing in other princes' subordinates is another matter. But relatively speaking, this part still accounts for a minority.

The old lady Gu really didn't know, so she asked, "How did you say this?"

Qingshu told the reason.

Mrs. Gu was very happy and said, "It's all God's retribution to him. Qingshu, I'll tell you that Jingen's career will be smooth in the future. If he asks you to help, don't pay attention."

Qingshu said: "After An An get married, I won't care about him unless he can't survive."

As for her, I want to use her power to make my career a step further, and I’m dreaming!

With this sentence, Mrs. Gu was relieved.

There was a period of holiday after the palace examination, about half a month later, and then I had to work as a yamen.

Fu Jingen quickly bought the betrothal gift and personally took the betrothal gift to the Gu family for employment.

Mrs. Gu originally thought that Fu Jingen didn't have much money, and she could just live up to the big deal. However, she didn't expect that his betrothal gift would be very decent.

First, there are six pairs of six taels and six levels of Taurus (Qingshu is a ox), which costs almost eight hundred taels of silver; sixteen boxes of fabric, silk and satin; there are also six pairs of red gold bracelets, six pairs of red gold Ruyi hairpins and other jewelry; sea cucumbers, abalone, scallops and other seafood are also two big boxes. The most conspicuous one is the pair of geese sent to count.

This pair of wild goose was caught by Fu Jingen himself.

Many people were shocked when this betrothal gift came out. Everyone knew that Fu Jingen's house was rented, so they subconsciously believed that he was very poor. But this betrothal gift cost several thousand silver dollars.

Looking at the betrothal gifts, Mrs. Gu said worriedly: "Isn't this child emptying all his money, right?"

Qingshu smiled and said, "What are you worried about? Will I still be hungry?"

Mrs. Gu thought about it and said, "This child is too honest. In fact, the betrothal gift is acceptable."

Feng Xiaoyu said, "Grandma Gu, your idea is wrong. If you don't care about the betrothal gift, can you still expect him to treat Qingshu in the future?"

Avoiding Mrs. Gu, Feng Xiaoyu asked Qingshu: "Did you buy him a betrothal gift?"

Although he knew that Fu Jingen also opened two shops to do business, the two shops only received a 1,800 taels of silver in a year. He was all expensive to study and wrote, and he also raised more than a dozen people, and he couldn't save a lot of money in a year.

Qingshu laughed and said, "Do you think I am the kind of person who is so swollen and fat? I didn't know in advance that he would buy so many things, and I was surprised to see them."

Feng Xiaoyu still believed in Qingshu: "That's strange, where did he get so much money?"

"No matter where he gets the money, as long as he comes from the right place."

Feng Xiaoyu glanced at her and asked, "How did you know the right way? He told you?"

Qingshu shook his head and said, "No, but the money must be from the right place. He is a very rational person. If he is from the wrong place, he will definitely not want it. It ruined his future for 18,000 taels of silver, which is not worth it."

"To be honest, Qingshu, I have never seen a rational woman like you again."

Feng Xiaoyu said: "Qingshu, I'm very worried about what to do if you two quarrel? One practices swordsmanship and the other practices calligraphy?"

Thinking of that scene, she wanted to laugh for no reason.

Qingshu ignored her.

Mrs. Gu was still worried, so she called Fu Jingen to come and said, "Jingen, why don't you have that much money? Don't borrow it from the money house!"

Fu Jingen smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I didn't borrow money. I saved all this money by saving money."

“Is there any more?”

Fu Jingen grinned and said, "Yes! All the money for the wedding banquet is kept! But after getting married, I will have no money. Then I will have to clean and comfort me."

Grandma Gu said happily: "What are you raising or not? Why do you do so politely in the family?"

The ability to spend all her wealth on the wedding shows how much she value Qingshu. Unlike Lin Chengyu, who could have a decent betrothal gift at home, she was so stingy that she had lost all her face.

Qingshu sent Fu Jingen out and halfway through Lin Fei and others: "Where did you get the money?"

Nothing better than her is to know how much money Fu Jingen has. It is impossible to save more than 10,000 taels of silver if she saves frugality. So there must be other sources of this money.

Fu Jingen could not hide it from Qingshu without anyone else. He whispered: "This money is a thank you gift from the Shen family."

Afraid that Qingshu was unhappy, he explained: "It was not what I wanted, it was Shen Shaozhou who gave me on his own initiative, and it was not much more than 20,000 taels of silver."

Qingshu glanced at him and said, "Twenty thousand taels of silver are not much, how much do you want?"

In order to save Shen Shaozhou, he not only tried his best to save him, but also gained a favor. The Shen family is so rich, so Qingshu doesn't think Fu Jingen is rewarded.

Fu Jingen whispered: "Do you know how much Shen Tao spent to save Shen Shaozhou? Two hundred thousand taels. If I hadn't been early, I would have spent more."

Compared with the cost of the Shen family, he really didn't think the reward of 20,000 taels was too much. Of course, he also knew that the Shen family's foundation was very rich and it was not hurt, otherwise he wouldn't have wanted it.

Qingshu glanced at him and said, "Why didn't you tell me about this when you returned to Beijing?"

Fu Jingen called for injustice: "This money was sent by Shen Shaozhou later to Xinshu, not by me when I returned to Beijing."

Qingshu smiled and said, "I just need to know this. Don't tell my grandmother, otherwise she will feel uncomfortable."

But Fu Jingen said, "So what if you know? Shen Shaozhou is not my father. I have tried my best to save him and collect some hard money."

Of course, he would not take the initiative to say that as for whether Shen Shaozhou would tell Mrs. Gu, he was not able to control it.

Speaking of Shen Shaozhou, Fu Jingen said to him: "The last incident did not hurt the Shen family. According to my guess, they should still have huge wealth. However, the two wastes in the Shen family cannot save this money."

"How did you speak?"

Fu Jingen never concealed himself in front of Qingshu: "In my eyes, those two are waste. Shen Tao is better. Although he can't control his wife, he is at least very filial. What about Shen Zhan? His father had an accident and just hid in the shop. It's better not to have such a waste son."

Qingshu did not refute him, but said, "I don't like not to interact in the future. As for the huge wealth they have, it is their ability to keep it; it is their own incompetence if they cannot keep it. We have our own hands and feet, so we don't want that money."

Fu Jingen said sadly: "Qingshu, it turns out that I am such a person in your heart?"

Qingshu smiled and said, "I don't mean that. I just feel that the money I earn is reliable and the money that comes from is hot."
