Chapter 2366: Chapter 2363: Bestowing Official Rank
Since Su Yun has gone this far.
With something in hand, he naturally won’t back down.
Even if he truly has nothing, he should find a way out for the local people and soldiers.
“Yes.” Su Yun also became serious.
“However, Prince, Madam Chu is indeed a talent and knows quite a lot.” Su Yun had a good impression of Ye Muyu, as he disliked clever people who were deceitful and unpredictable, like Minister Qi.
The phrase “there can’t be two tigers on one mountain” probably stems from this reason.
But some clever people who understand boundaries and principles are the best partners, with no worry of being stabbed in the back.
In the end, people like Madam Chu have principles, although in his view, being overly kind could mean harming oneself.
But clearly, the Chu family has capabilities, fear no challenges, and don’t like tricks against others, which makes them suitable partners.
Su Yun thought his lord’s marriage alliance with the Chu family was a very strategic move.
Fortunately, he used to support the prince in secretly associating with Miss Chu.
“They are indeed loyal and capable ministers.” Li Chongjin sighed.
Su Yun did not respond to this.
No one knows the future.
But he knew that people from the Chu family value relationships, which is their weakness, having weaknesses makes people feel secure.
No wonder Emperor Xuanming has so many useful subjects but still favors Chu Heng.
In less than two days.
The Imperial Decree arrived at the Chu Family’s Second House.
By then, Madam Wang had already gone to the Chu family.
The servants from her residence came and said the palace had sent an Imperial Decree, which startled Madam Wang.
She was somewhat flustered and quickly went to find Ye Muyu.
After Ye Muyu heard, she called Su Mei to acpany her back.
Madam Wang hadn’t dealt with people from the palace before, and upon receiving the decree and hearing that her husband was granted an official position, even if it was just a minor sixth-grade position, she was so excited she almost fainted.
Fortunately, Su Mei was there to give silver rewards to the palace’s people.
After entertaining them well and sending them off, Su Mei explained the situation to Madam Wang.
“Really sorry, for the trouble, I’ll give you the silver rewards.” Madam Wang finally reacted and stopped smiling foolishly.
She arranged for someone to settle the reward with Su Mei.
Afraid she might forget, she wrote down the amount of silver in the notebook she carried with a pencil, to handle such nobility better next time.
“Dear, you’re going to be an official, our Chu family surely struck luck from the ancestors!” Madam Wang happily tapped Chu Cai’s shoulder: “If Third Brother wakes up, it would be double joy.”
“Don’t get too excited, no matter where I go, I’ll still do carpentry work. The decree states I should go to the yamen in three days, and I haven’t even finished Ziluo’s dowry yet.” Chu Cai was a bit troubled, really too busy to take a breath.
“There’s no choice in this matter, it’s the Emperor’s orders, we must ply. You should tell Third Brother’s Wife later and see what she thinks,” Madam Wang said.
Chu Cai nodded, only agreeing with this.
Chu Cai being an official was indeed unexpected for Ye Muyu.
However, considering it was the Emperor’s pensation to the Chu family, she didn’t find it surprising.
She just advised Chu Cai to work diligently and follow the rules. She gave him a list of people he can get acquainted with, leaving the rest to fate without much concern.
Chu Cai was naturally straightforward and just wanted to work earnestly, but being an official certainly meant more restrictions than running his own shop.
