Catching Monsters

Chapter 88 I Want to See My Future Son-in-Law

Jiang Yun and Xu Xiaogang, who successfully solved the case, were in a very happy mood. They returned to the inn and ordered a table full of food.

Xu Xiaogang was in a good mood, took a sip of wine, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty attaches so much importance to this case. It is no problem for Captain Yang to ask for the credit and raise a small flag for you."

Jiang Yun sat next to him and said with a smile: "You have worked hard to invite my uncle here. By the way, I didn't expect that my uncle is the Duke of Zhenguo."

Before this, Jiang Yun only knew that Xu Suwen and Xu Xiaogang's families were in the capital and they had many connections, but he never expected that they would be the son and daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo.

No wonder Qian Buchou was so respectful to them.

Xu Xiaogang sighed, looked out the window, and said slowly: "You were born in a poor family, you don't understand how I feel."

"I was born in the Duke's Mansion. I have no worries about food and clothing. If I want to learn to read and write, I will ask the Confucian masters in the academy to teach me. If I want to practice martial arts, I will ask the masters in the army to teach me."

"Tell me, how many people can never achieve what I was born into in their lifetime?"

"But I don't feel happy. Everyone thinks that my efforts are due to my identity."

"If I had a choice, I would rather be like you, born into a poor family, and be praised by others for any achievements you make."

"Instead of praising your father for being so great."

Jiang Yun's face darkened and he slowly clenched his fists. Is this bastard in Versailles?

At this moment, footsteps and Qian Buchou's hearty laughter were heard in the corridor outside the room.

"Hahahaha, Brother Jiang."

open the door.

Looking at the table full of food in the house, Qian Buchou's eyes lit up: "Wow, what day is today? The food is so good."

Qian Buchou was wearing a military uniform at this time.

"Congratulations, Brother Qian, what are you doing?"

Hearing this, Qian Buchou patted his clothes and turned around: "What Brother Qian? You have to call me Mr. Qian from now on."

"I am now the deputy commander of the North City Military Department, a seventh-rank official."

Jiang Yun was a little surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "The prefect is so powerful? Did he arrange for you to be promoted to the seventh rank directly?"

Qian Buchou sat down on the chair, took a gulp of the wine, and sighed, "Now you can't call me the prefect, you have to call me the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Mr. Zhang."

"A third-rank official!"

Jiang Yun sighed: "Master Zhang is really amazing. It's not in vain that he ran back to kneel in front of the imperial city for a night."

This is really a promotion.

Before this, Zhang Wenqi was the prefect, a fourth-rank official.

But compared with the position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, there is still a world of difference.

Qian Buchou said with a smile: "Don't say that I am not nice. I just took office and someone in the North City gave me a house."

"I didn't want it."

"Let him exchange two small houses next to each other and give you one, so that we can be neighbors."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun bowed and thanked him, "Then I would like to thank Brother Qian very much."

"We are brothers who came to Beijing together. I am rich now, how can I forget you?" Qian Buchou rolled his eyes at Jiang Yun, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "If you are not comfortable in Jinyiwei, come to Beicheng Bingmasi."

"Old Qian, I'll arrange a position for you."

The three of them drank and chatted, having a great time.

He was really happy because he had no worries about money. He dreamed of becoming an official.

Even though he was previously the local chief of police and lived a glorious life, once he left office, he was just a commoner with some money.

After I die, after two or three generations, if my descendants are not ambitious, they will be penniless again.

But it’s different when you become an official, you can bring blessings to your descendants for a long time.

Zhenguogongfu.

Jiang Qiaoqiao was sitting in a study room with a book in her hands.

Standing in front was the teacher invited from the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

The teacher was on top, shaking his head and reading:
"In the morning, I meet the rising sun to start a new journey; in the evening, I embrace the sunset and think about life."

"In spring, when you touch the flowers, you will see their beauty; in summer, when you approach the green trees, you will feel the shade." Jiang Qiaoqiao took the book and studied hard...

She still felt that sewing clothes was easier. Reading was really too difficult. These words were like hieroglyphics.

She instantly felt that it was amazing that her brother could pass the imperial examination and become a scholar.

Xu Suwen sat next to her, holding an embroidery piece in her hand. She would occasionally glance at Jiang Qiaoqiao, and then continue embroidering.

It’s not that she has this hobby.

But the naughty little girl Jiang Qiaoqiao was not idle either. She rushed to do any work. When she saw Tao Yuelan embroidering, she volunteered to help.

Tao Yuelan was of course happy, so she asked Jiang Qiaoqiao for help, and then asked the teacher in the Duke's Mansion to teach Jiang Qiaoqiao how to read and write.

Xu Suwen was helpless. She knew what her mother meant...

Let Jiang Qiaoqiao help with embroidery, and then ask the teacher to teach her to read and write.

The purpose is to get yourself stabbed.

Who made Jiang Qiaoqiao agree to it?

At the same time, in the lobby of the Duke's Mansion.

Xu Dingwu and Tao Yuelan were sitting on wooden chairs.

Tao Yuelan asked with a smile: "Master, how is it, how is it?"

"Ahem, I'm a little thirsty." Xu Dingwu said lightly, crossing his legs.

Tao Yuelan quickly made a cup of tea: "Master, have a sip first."

After Xu Dingwu took a sip of tea, he said calmly: "That boy is okay, he is handsome, only slightly worse than me when I was young."

"He's pretty smart."

"You can observe and observe for a while longer, but don't act too hastily."

Tao Yuelan nodded when she heard this: "That's right, after all, it's Su Wen's lifelong event."

"You know Su Wen's character. If he gets impatient, he might end up making things worse."

"Originally, I wanted to invite Jiang Yun to my house tonight to have a meal and see what happens."

"Then tomorrow, sir, what do you think?"

Xu Dingwu glared at Tao Yuelan and said, "I told you, this kind of thing can't be rushed. Besides, that kid is just an ordinary Jinyiwei now. In terms of wealth and status..."

When Tao Yuelan heard this, she slammed the table and said, "Okay, Xu Dingwu, your family has only been a Duke of Zhenguo for four generations."

"What did they do before that? They were also soldiers."

"In terms of status, right? When my maternal ancestor became the Duke of Anguo, he followed His Majesty Taizu to conquer the world. What were your ancestors doing at that time?"

"Who isn't from the Duke's Mansion?"

Hearing this, Xu Dingwu shrank his neck and said quickly, "Madam, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I don't mean that."

"Then what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, tonight, right tonight, I will immediately ask someone to invite Jiang Yun over for dinner."

Tao Yuelan muttered, "That's about right."

Xu Dingwu sighed, what a sin.

My wife is good in every way, except that she has a bad temper...

Xu Dingwu took a deep breath and shouted majestically, "Old Wu."

Wu Chi, who had been hiding outside the door, heard the call and ran in: "Master, I'm here."

"Go, invite Jiang Yun to come over for dinner."

"In the name of what?" Wu Chi was a little confused.

Xu Dingwu said helplessly: "Just say that our wife wants to see the future son-in-law..."
