Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 930 The Best Family 57
It's not that the eldest wife is adding burden to Linlang, but that Linlang herself is willing to help them solve the problem so that they don't have to solve it themselves. If they are not careful, they might solve it incorrectly and bring trouble, which would be bad.

Not to mention that Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun no longer dared to let the first wife give money to the second wife, and dared to keep some of the first wife's money in their hands, just talking about the first wife's errands, there were soon new developments.

After the new year, the emperor still summoned Linlang from time to time, and still did not require Linlang to spend money to flip the card.

Linlang had been using these free summons to consolidate the other party's good impression of herself. After doing this, when she saw that the time was almost up, Linlang asked the emperor to promote Master Sun again. The promotion was not too high, after all, one cannot be promoted too quickly, lest he fail, so he was promoted from the ninth rank to the eighth rank.

Not to mention how happy Master Sun was to see that his official rank had been promoted by two levels, nor to mention that he was now an eighth-rank official and could be in charge of a larger area. There were more wealthy businessmen who needed to take over projects from him, which increased the income of the first house. Let's just say that in the palace, it was finally time for the three-yearly beauty contest.

So when Master Sun Er heard that Master Sun Da had been promoted, although he was not happy, he did not have the energy to be unhappy because he had to prepare for the beauty contest that his daughter would soon face.

Over the years, since Master Sun Er wanted to send his daughter to the palace, he naturally inquired about all aspects of the palace affairs and knew some of the unspoken rules of the palace, such as that when selecting to enter the palace, one can pass by giving some money, and that to advance in the palace, one only needs to give some money, etc. He knew all of these.

Now that he knew this, he prepared a lot of silver for his daughter, who was his original cousin, and prepared to use silver bullets to pave the way.

In addition, his daughter was born as an official's daughter, so she should have a higher position when she entered the palace. Even if she could not enter the palace like the daughters of officials of the third rank or above, she could start as the lowest noble lady, but she would never be like the first wife Linlang, who got the lowest position of Cheng'en.

The information collected by Master Sun Er is indeed correct.

At the beginning of the audition, cousin Sun used the silver bullet to pave the way and passed the first few levels smoothly, becoming an intern showgirl.

After the internship, the emperor came personally to select people. Like the previous session, he only selected three people and gave them relatively good positions. The grades of the others were left to the empress dowager.

It is said that the empress dowager makes the grade, but in fact it is the empress dowager's white gloves and her trusted female officials who make the grade.

The rank of the so-called trusted female official needs money. If you don’t pay, the rank won’t be high.

Cousin Sun knew the unspoken rules, so she naturally gave money to the female official around the empress dowager, so her rank was not low - when she entered the palace, her rank was determined to be that of a lady.

The reason why she was designated as a seventh-rank lady was because she was the daughter of a seventh-rank official, and was different from ordinary women. The palace would at least give her the rank of an eighth-rank lady, and not like ordinary women who would be given the lowest rank of a concubine without paying any money.

Because at least she would be given the rank of an eighth-rank good man, and if she spent a little more money, she would become a seventh-rank lady. This was also the rank she and Master Sun had calculated, and now it was indeed this rank, so Cousin Sun was naturally happy, after all, this was the same as Master Sun's calculation, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She knew that the palace was very complicated, so before entering, she was always worried that she would not be able to get along well in the palace. Now that she saw that things were within her father's calculations, she naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

As the master who controlled all this, Master Sun Er saw the eunuch in the palace come out to announce the good news that it was indeed the seventh-rank lady he had designed. He could not help but feel satisfied, thinking that now he had a reliable person in the palace, and if he could control his daughter, it would be the same as entering the palace himself. With the women in the harem, could they fight against him, a Jinshi who had fought his way out of thousands of troops? - In fact, Master Sun Er looked down on women and thought that women were no match for men.

In the future, he will be able to control his daughter's development in the palace. Whether it is promotion, benefiting himself from upgrading, or dealing with Sun Linlang, it should not be a difficult task.

He had already made plans for his daughter. He knew that the first time she was favored, she would almost certainly be promoted to a higher level. So he asked his cousin Sun to perform well and then strive to be promoted to another level. From the sixth-grade Baolin, he also had an idea of ​​how to upgrade in the future. Anyway, she would definitely be promoted faster than Sun Linlang.

Old Master Sun and Old Lady Sun were unaware of the hidden agenda. They only saw that their youngest son's daughter was a seventh-rank lady when she entered the palace, a higher rank than Linlang's when she entered the palace. They thought that it was easy to get along in the palace. They thought that their cousin Sun had such a high starting point when she entered the palace, and that she should be able to do better than Linlang in the future. So they no longer mentioned the reconciliation between the second and first houses, which made Old Master Sun II very satisfied. He really didn't want to hear the old couple talk about how well Sun Linlang was doing and how they were going to reconcile with the first house. In any case, letting their daughter enter the palace could make the old couple stop mentioning the first house and Linlang, and Old Master Sun II was very satisfied.

Sun Linyun, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel satisfied after hearing the news. She thought that she didn't ask to be the best in the family, but only to be no worse than Sun Linlang. Then she could ask her and the first wife to slap her in the face.

It is said that Sun Linyun is only one year younger than her original self. According to ancient standards, this age is not considered young. However, she has not yet arranged a marriage. The main reason is that the people in the second house have always been ambitious. They always think that Master Sun Er will be able to rise to a high position. If they arrange a marriage now, Master Sun Er will be successful by then, and the marriage will not be a good match. Therefore, although they are discussing marriage, it has not been finalized and they are still looking for one.

Especially now that Cousin Sun has successfully entered the palace, those in the second house who are planning to arrange marriages should be even more prepared to wait. After all, if Cousin Sun is favored, the marriages of all the people in the second house will be much more successful.

So although Sun Linyun is not young according to this world, she has not yet been engaged, let alone married, and the people in the second house are not in a hurry.

The people in the first house also heard the news that a girl from the second house had successfully won the beauty contest. Of course, it was not Master Sun Er who told them. After all, firstly, the two families had already fallen out, and Master Sun Er would definitely not tell this to the first house; secondly, his daughter was not yet favored, and had not successfully dealt with Linlang. Master Sun Er did not dare to show off now, so naturally he did not say anything.

The reason why the people in the first house knew about this was because Linlang told them.

In the letter that Linlang asked Eunuch Li to deliver, she said that she saw the name of her second cousin Sun among the concubines who entered the palace this year. She thought it was a duplicate, but after taking a closer look, she realized it was her.

Of course, Linlang didn't know that the second branch had sent someone to the palace just by looking at the name of the concubine. She already knew about this when Master Sun Er asked someone to teach Cousin Sun and others the etiquette and rules of the palace.

The reason why Linlang sent this letter and told the first wife was because she was afraid that the first wife didn't know about this and might be plotted against by the second wife due to the lack of information, so she explained the matter to the first wife.
