Two days later, Li Wuyu and Wang Youbao ca to see An Jing, bidding farewell to both An Jing and Xiao Changyi.
“You’re moving to the Imperial Capital the day after tomorrow with the whole family?” An Jing sounded sowhat surprised.
“Yes, my father-in-law wrote to saying that the Crown Prince wants to cultivate . He has arranged for to learn from a minister at the Ministry of Revenue for so ti before assigning an official post.” The two n in front of him were his wife’s teachers and friends, and he trusted them wholeheartedly, so Wang Youbao didn’t hide anything and told them the whole truth.
An Jing instantly understood and smiled, “It seems that you’re going to be an official in the future.”
Wang Youbao also smiled, “If I really can beco an official, it would honor and glorify my ancestors. My father and mother would certainly rest in peace with smiles on their faces.”
Seeing that Wang Youbao didn’t seem to be so entangled with his birth as a Commons Son anymore, An Jing was quite satisfied.
“It’s just… it’s just…” Wang Youbao suddenly hesitated to speak. After a pause, he still voiced his complete thought, “I have never t the Crown Prince, and I don’t know why he suddenly wants to cultivate . I feel very anxious.”
An Jing didn’t ntion that Wang Youbao had actually t the Crown Prince and had a lengthy conversation with him. Instead, she simply smiled, “You’re telling this, but I can’t help you. I’m just a Sixth Grade Official, and not the sociable type at that. I really don’t understand much about bureaucracy. However, when you’re in the Capital, you can ask your father-in-law. Given he’s the head of all officials, he should have a clear understanding of the ins and outs. With his guidance, you should feel much more at ease.”
Wang Youbao smiled sheepishly, “These past few days, Wuyu has been telling that my father-in-law will give advice to reassure , but I, a re rchant, have been suddenly placed by the Crown Prince to study with a minister at the Ministry of Revenue. My heart is truly uneasy.”
An Jing scolded, “You always say you’re just a rchant, but don’t forget, you are now the son-in-law of the Pri Minister. In Qilin County, who dares to offend you? Who dares to look down on you? Who wouldn’t want to show you so respect? Stop looking down on yourself. Your status is already high enough!”
Wang Youbao laughed bitterly, “I’m aware of this. It’s just… I’m still registered as a mber of the rchant class.”
Before An Jing could speak, Li Wuyu said, “Youbao, why think so much? Once you beco an official, won’t you automatically be removed from the rchant class?”
The mont Wang Youbao heard this, enlightennt struck him, “What you say is right, Wuyu. As long as I beco an official, I’ll automatically leave the rchant class behind. Then our children won’t be part of the rchant class either, and will not be ridiculed by others.”
As soon as Wang Youbao ntioned their children, Li Wuyu’s face turned red.
Understanding Wang Youbao’s lifelong ordeal with ridicule due to his origins as a rchant and born out of wedlock, An Jing could empathize with his desire to shed his rchant status.
Thinking of her own four children, who were nobly born, An Jing couldn’t help but glance at her husband. She really owed it to his distinguished noble identity~
“Wuyu, I will diligently study under the minister at the Ministry of Revenue and strive to soon gain the Crown Prince’s favor and shed my rchant status, so that your marriage will be even more honorable,” Wang Youbao suddenly promised Li Wuyu.
Li Wuyu didn’t really need this assurance from Wang Youbao. While others felt she had married beneath her, she didn’t see it that way. She liked Wang Youbao and wanted to be with him, so she was marrying him. It was that simple.
But now that Wang Youbao was thinking of her and wanting her to have an honorable marriage, Li Wuyu was still very happy and nodded vigorously, “Youbao, I believe in you!”
