Chapter 70 Aunt Hai sincerely thanks Qiao for her arrangement
"It's like this. My cousin from my maternal grandfather's family used to work in the Weiwei Temple, but now he has been transferred to another place. When I went to the Marquis' Mansion yesterday, I heard him talking about a few vacancies in the Weiwei Temple. Father thought that my second brother would be bored studying hard at home, so he wanted my second brother to go and take up one of the vacancies. What do Aunt Hai and my second brother think?"

Although Jiang Shiyuan's words were direct, they soaked the mother and son like spring rain.

They had never heard such a polite tone before, so they were both a little nervous. They didn't know what kind of place this Weiwei Temple was, but when they heard that the eldest girl's cousin was there, they knew it must be a good place.

The two were still a little at a loss, but Jiang Shiyue quickly grasped the point, her eyes turned, and she immediately asked with a sweet smile.

"Big sister, this second brother went to the Weiwei Temple. Is he going to take over the position of my cousin from the Wang family?"

She wanted to achieve success overnight, but Jiang Shiyuan thought she was not very good, so when he heard her question, his tone was not as gentle as before, but he replied calmly.

"Fourth sister, you are overthinking it. Second cousin's position has just been released and someone has already taken it. The vacancies mentioned this time are positions under the North Gate Office, which are probably related to guarding the city gate."

"Guarding the city gate? Doesn't that mean you're asking my second brother to do hard labor? Big sister, why are you looking down on my second brother like that? After all, he's the only male offspring of our father's lineage!"

Jiang Shiyue seemed to have forgotten that she was still listening to Shi Xuan, and her tone unconsciously rose a few degrees. Her words and eyes almost said directly that Jiang Shiyuan asked her brother to be a gatekeeper dog. Therefore, not to mention Jiang Shiyuan, even Liuhua and Luluo looked over with cold eyes, and there was some anger in their eyes.

"Fourth Miss, be careful with your words."

Liuhua is very strict with rules, and she has learned a lot from the maids in charge at Marquis Wenyuan's mansion over the years, so her stern expression is indeed a bit scary.

Jiang Shiyue reacted immediately and realized that what she said was wrong. She was afraid that her elder sister would blame her in the future, so she softened her temper and replied.

"Don't blame me, big sister. I was abrupt."

Jiang Shiyuan did not blame her in any particular way. They would talk about her matter later. The most important thing right now was to find out what Aunt Hai and her son thought.

"The Weiwei Temple is divided into two offices, and the North Gate is part of the Guarding the Capital Office. Although the duty of guarding the city gate may seem insignificant, the North Gate is the Imperial City Gate, which is the closest to the emperor compared to the other three gates. My second brother is young now, so it is normal for him to gain some experience at the North Gate first. If he can be patient and hone his skills in the North Gate Office, he can move up to a better position in the future."

Jiang Shiyuan promised a bright future for the mother and son, but whether they could understand and believe it was up to them.

Hearing this, Jiang Shilin looked troubled. Guarding the city gate was certainly not difficult, but the difficulty lay in whether he would really have a chance to move up in the future.

He doesn't think so.

But even if he stayed in the North Gate Office for his whole life, there seemed to be nothing to complain about. At least it would be more relaxed and comfortable than his current life in the mansion. So a little anticipation rose in his eyes, and then he glanced at Aunt Hai and nodded slightly.

Aunt Hai didn't understand what was going on outside, so she didn't understand the promotion opportunities proposed by Jiang Shiyuan.

But she knew one thing, that is, the person praised by Aunt Yang must be a good person, so when she looked up at Jiang Shiyuan, she was a little excited.

"Please forgive me, young lady. I was born a maid and have never seen the world, so I only understood part of what you said just now. But I know that you are doing this for the good of my second brother. Moreover, I have known Aunt Yang for many years, and I have often heard her praise your kindness and righteousness. Since you can help the third young lady in her future, you must be sincerely doing this for the good of my second brother. So I believe you. As for how the tasks outside are arranged, I will listen to you, young lady." These words were simple and unpretentious, but Jiang Shiyuan benefited a lot from them.

The family affairs of the Jiang family are simple, as they are all humble women. But they are also complicated. The second aunt alone is enough to show what it means to be greedy.

Therefore, after seeing Aunt Hai's humble answer, Jiang Shiyuan felt comforted and immediately answered.

"Mrs. Hai is willing to trust me and my father and put your brother's future in our hands. Naturally, we will take care of everything for him. The only thing is that if your brother goes to the North Gate Office this time, it is better for him to hide his identity so that he can be more sincere when interacting with his colleagues."

The mother and son didn't understand the reason, but they thought the eldest girl must be right, so they nodded and agreed.

After explaining Jiang Shilin's situation, Jiang Shiyuan turned his attention to his fourth sister Jiang Shiyue. Although the swelling on her cheek had subsided, the slap mark could still be seen through the veil, which showed that she was hit hard. So he asked Liuhua to take out a jar of ointment and then spoke.

"Fourth sister has a pretty face, but you should pay more attention to the wound on your face and make sure it doesn't leave scars."

Since Jiang Shiyue came back yesterday, he went back to Yueying Pavilion to hide.

Without any suitable reason, he naturally could not ask a doctor to see him. He was just using the medicine given by the doctor of the Marquis' Mansion. Therefore, he was a little surprised when he saw the ointment, but after he reacted, he immediately took it and said with a smile.

"Thank you, big sister. I was just worried that there was no good medicine to use."

Jiang Shiyuan noticed the greed and little thoughts in her eyes. This fourth sister really took away all her brother's intelligence, but it was a pity that she didn't use it in the right way.

"During the days when you are taking the medicine, Fourth Sister, you should rest well at home. Since you and I are relatives, there are some things that I, as the elder sister, must say to you."

Before Jiang Shiyue could put away the smile on her face, she heard Jiang Shiyuan's advice. Her heart tightened, but she had to pretend to be calm and said with a guilty smile.

"Big sister, what do you want to say?"

"If you are greedy for things that are not yours, you will fall into trouble sooner or later. Do you understand, Fourth Sister?"

"I...I don't understand."

When Jiang Shiyue answered this, her eyes were evasive. For some reason, she knew at this moment that she was knocked unconscious and sent back to the room. It was probably done by her elder sister, so she felt even more guilty.

Jiang Shiyuan did not point it out, but just glanced at her indifferently, but some intimidation gradually appeared in his eyes. Just when he was about to speak, he saw Aunt Hai suddenly kneeling in front of Jiang Shiyuan with a nervous expression, and said in a pleading voice.

"Miss, it's all my fault. It's the bad luck of my second brother and fourth girl that they were born in my belly. They have suffered all these years. Fourth girl is young and has no elders to guide her at home. So if she gets into trouble outside or offends someone, please speak up for her. If you want to punish her, just come to me. I have only one worthless life, so you deserve it even if you beat me to death."

Although Aunt Hai didn't know what had happened, she could sense that the eldest girl's tone was no longer as pleasant as before.
