Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 882 The Best Family 9
Hearing what the eunuch said, Sun's father and mother were overjoyed and immediately gave the eunuch ten taels of silver as a reward.

The money Linlang got for her promotion had not been used up yet, and now she had another two hundred taels, which added up to nearly three hundred taels. So Sun's mother discussed with Sun's father about renting a better house to live in, and most importantly, one that was closer to the palace, so that it would be more convenient for them to get information.

Of course, you can also buy a house farther away from the center, and three hundred taels can buy you a few houses without a yard.

However, with such a long distance, they could only buy a few houses, and those didn't even come with yards. Sun's parents thought it would be more cost-effective to rent a house. At least they could rent a larger house in the inner city, which would be closer to the palace and allow them to find out about various situations.

Moreover, it would be closer to the second house, so if there was any news, I could go to Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun to report the good news, and I could walk less.

You have to know that before, they had no money and lived far away from the central city and the second house. If there was anything, they had to walk a long way to communicate with Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun, which was very troublesome.

——The two-bedroom house is not bought, but rented. However, considering the location of work, the rented house is close to the city center.

In fact, the second wife had enough money to buy a house, but in order to get into official business and to cry poor in front of the old couple, she did not use all her money to buy a house. After all, as long as the house was habitable, it didn't matter whether it was rented or bought.

The people from the eldest branch of the Sun family acted as soon as they said they would. They immediately started looking for a house and planned to move in after the Dragon Boat Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival was coming soon, and it would be a bit troublesome to move later, so it would not be too late to move after the Dragon Boat Festival.

When the Dragon Boat Festival came, since they were in the capital, Sun's father and mother naturally had to take the children to the second house to spend the holiday with Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun.

Of course, they did bring some food with them, in case the people from the second house said they were eating and drinking for free, and that they were vampires, the worst kind.

Seeing that they brought some things over, the second wife's expression looked a little better.

Of course, the main thing was to drive away the people from the first house, so that their family no longer had to eat and drink for free at their house. Madam Sun Er, Sun Linyun and others felt more comfortable and their complexions improved.

At that moment, Sun's father told Old Man Sun and Old Lady Sun that Linlang had been promoted to the ninth rank.

Sure enough, just as Linlang thought, Madam Sun Er and Sun Linyun's faces immediately turned bad when they heard the news.

After all, they had always thought that Linlang had no money and was of the lowest rank, and that she was obviously not favored by the emperor during the selection. The rank she was given was obviously a rank that she deserved after entering the palace. Otherwise, if there were lower ranks, her rank might have been even lower.

It is difficult for such an unfavored and low-ranking concubine to be promoted because she has no money.

As a result, after only one month in the palace, he was promoted to a higher rank. This naturally made the people of the second branch of the Sun family feel a little uncomfortable, thinking that God would not really let the first branch turn over, right? If they fell out with the first branch, what would they do if the first branch caused trouble for them?
After the people from the first wife left, the people from the second wife gathered together to discuss the matter.

"Strange, what's going on? Sun Linlang has no money and is not favored, so how can she get promoted? Will she get promoted higher and higher in the future?" Sun Linyun was the most impatient and asked first.

Slap the best in the face, slap the vampire in the face, and the best can still make a comeback. Is there any justice in this world?

Madam Sun Er also had the same idea, and immediately said to Master Sun Er, "This won't work. Master, you should find out what's going on in the palace and see what's going on with her. It's a bit worrying that we can't figure out the situation."

Although Sun Linlang's current position is still very low, we must be on guard against her being promoted to a high position in the future. Master Sun Er nodded. He didn't want anything to get out of his control.

but……

"But it's not easy to find out the situation in the palace. I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money." said Master Sun Er.

After all, he was born in a poor family and had no connections in the palace. It was not easy for him to get information, and he would definitely need some money to pave the way.

Although their family had a lot of money, it was all for him to use to get promoted to a high position and could not be used easily.

It is hard to say which is more important, finding out about Linlang's news or seeking a job for him.

Although they really wanted to know about Linlang's situation, Master Sun also wanted to be promoted, so the people in the second house were troubled about where to spend the money.

Look, Linlang had obviously guessed right. She had only been promoted to the ninth rank, but the people in the second branch of the Sun family had already started to panic. If she became a concubine or a royal consort in the future, how panicked would they be?

It’s the right approach to change their mentality during the holidays.

The people in the first house had a happy Dragon Boat Festival, while the people in the second house had a sad Dragon Boat Festival.

Linlang felt happy when she saw the unhappy look on the faces of the people from the second room in Little Bee.

Without mentioning how the Sun family reacted, let's just talk about the palace. Han Chengen saw that Linlang was among those promoted by the Queen Mother. She didn't know that Linlang had given money, so she was just wondering why the Queen Mother promoted Linlang but not her.

Han Chengen immediately asked Linlang, "Linlang, how come you got promoted?"

Although Gengyi is still a low-ranking concubine, her daily treatment is slightly better than Cheng'en, and everything else is the same. She still has only a separate room, but, no matter what, this is a higher level.

She was anxious as she saw that the people who entered the palace with her were promoted in rank, but she was not.

After hearing Han Chengen's question, Linlang naturally couldn't tell him that she had given money to the female official, so she just said, "I don't know about this either."

Linlang didn't say much, after all, the more she talked, the more mistakes she made.

Han Chengen thought so too. How could Linlang know the reason for her promotion? They couldn't have contact with the upper class people.

Although it was impossible for her to stick with Linlang all the time and therefore impossible for her to know all of Linlang's movements, they had the same background and it seemed that like her, she had no good backing in the palace. Maybe it was simply the Empress Dowager showing some favor before the festival and promoting some low-ranking concubines to give everyone a little grace?
Linlang got promoted this time, maybe next time the holiday comes, she will be the one to get promoted?
Besides, there is the emperor's visit. Han Chengen heard that sooner or later, the emperor would favor anyone who entered the palace. Of course, whether or not they could be favored again depended on their performance during that visit. If they performed well and the emperor liked them, there would be a next time. If the emperor did not like them, it was uncertain.

Because of such expectations, Han Chengen did not get promoted this time. Although he was a little sad, he did not think too much about it, because there were more important things at the moment - the April monthly salary had been paid, and now Concubine Liu asked them to pay tribute, so what should they do now?
Han Chengen immediately asked Linlang what to do about this matter.
