Chapter 265 Sister
Da! Tang Yichen put down the brush in his hand.
He looked at the crooked words in front of him, his eyes full of frustration.
There are only two months left, can he really make it?
For the first time, he doubted his abilities.
He had spent ten years practicing his handwriting, but now there were only two months left and he had to start from scratch.
During the day he was full of confidence in front of his family, but now when he faced all this alone, he deeply realized how difficult it was.
Boom! There was a knock on the door.
Tang Yichen calmed down and said in a gentle voice, "Please come in."
Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu came in carrying things.
"Brother, Yinyin made some pastries for you."
"Sister Luwu made you some rice dumplings with fermented rice wine."
Tang Yichen looked at the food brought by his two sisters, his eyes full of emotion: "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"We just came back from outside and saw that the candle in your room was still on. Thinking you were still awake, we came to bring you some midnight snacks." Tang Luwu said, "Brother, don't worry. Everything is difficult at the beginning. You've worked so hard, I believe things will get better and better."
"Sister Luwu has been thinking for a long time in the kitchen, thinking about how to persuade you." Qin Huiyin smiled with her hand covering her mouth.
"Why did you expose me?" Tang Luwu gently hit Qin Huiyin's arm. "I'm not good at talking, so I had a hard time coming up with a few words of advice."
"Like I said, Big Brother is the smartest person in our family. He knows everything without us having to persuade him. Big Brother, we will always have your back. Just keep moving forward, and we'll support you from behind. No matter what the outcome, we just have to live up to ourselves."
"As the eldest brother, I'm really remiss in my duty by asking you two younger sisters to worry about everything. It's too late. Go and get some rest. You still have to take care of the store tomorrow."
"Then remember to eat the cakes and dumplings. Let's not disturb Big Brother for now."
After his two sisters left, Tang Yichen looked at the food in front of him and perked up.
Huiyin is right. No matter what the result is, as long as you don’t regret it, it’s fine.
He ate the pastry in one bite and drank the glutinous rice wine glutinous rice balls in one sip.
sweet.
Looking at the dam project in front of him, Song Ruize felt a sense of honor.
More than a year has passed, and the progress of the dam has been very fast, far exceeding the original plan.
Now, apart from Lord Wen and the county magistrate, he was the one with the most say in the entire dam. After seeing several dam leaders fall into his hands one after another, those who tried to hinder him no longer dared to have any thoughts.
"Brother Ze, Lord Wen has sent you over."
"understood."
Song Ruize came to the workshop where Lord Wen was handling matters.
"Sir, are you looking for me?"
Lord Wen pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "Sit down."
Song Ruize sat down, looked at Lord Wen, and waited for his next instructions.
"The dam is making good progress and will be completed in another year. I see you're a talented person, so I'd like to ask if you have any plans. Would you be willing to come with me to the capital?"
"Your Excellency has no shortage of followers. I, Song, am not talented enough to take on such a heavy responsibility."
"Haha...you're such a sly fellow, boy." Lord Wen laughed upon hearing her say this. "Of course I have no shortage of attendants, and a talent like yours shouldn't be limited to a small retainer. I'd like to recommend you to the Ministry of Works. Your position won't be high at first, but with your abilities, it's only a matter of time before you rise to higher positions."
"If I go to the Ministry of Industry, how will I arrange for my subordinates?"
"Your brothers are all good, but officials in the Ministry of Works are all admitted through the imperial examination. I dare to recommend you because you have made great contributions this time, and the memorial you wrote last time was very well written, and the higher-ups praised you highly. Your brothers can be arranged to assist you, but they cannot give you official positions."
"As long as they can follow me, official positions are not important." If they can't become fat in one breath, they can strive for it with their own abilities.
"Since I'm following you, of course it's you who makes the arrangements."
"Okay, I'll think about it."
"There's still a year left, no rush, take your time to think about it," said Lord Wen.
Song Ruize came out from Lord Wen's place, and Jiang Qibin came to greet him and asked, "Brother Ze, what does Lord Wen want you to do?"
"He said the dam would be completed in a year and asked me to follow him to the capital. He would arrange a position for me in the Ministry of Works."
"Did you agree?"
"not yet."
"Oh my God, why don't you agree? If it were me, I would agree immediately! It's so hard for others to become officials. Even after ten years of hard study and passing the imperial examination, they still may not be able to be arranged into a decent official position. You don't have to take the imperial examination. The officials in the Ministry of Works will directly recommend you to join the Ministry. How many people can envy such a good thing?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's mine, it won't run away." Song Ruize said calmly, "There's still a year left."
"Brother Ze, you're reluctant to leave Sister Huiyin, aren't you?" Jiang Qibin said, revealing his worries. "To be honest, Sister Huiyin will have to go to the capital sooner or later. You're just going first, what's the big deal?"
Song Ruize was silent.
"Think about it, is that kid from the Tang family going to take the imperial examination? Is he going to go to the capital? Even though his arm is injured now, with his talent, he can't give up just because of it. He will take the imperial examination even if it's two years later. You should first gain a foothold in the Ministry of Works, and then climb up step by step. When he takes the imperial examination, your official position will definitely be higher than his. Wouldn't you be able to take better care of Sister Huiyin? The capital is a place full of powerful people. You can't do without someone to protect you."
"I'm going out for a while, you keep an eye on the dam." Song Ruize went to the stable.
Jiang Qibin looked at his back and said, "He went to discuss with Sister Huiyin. What is there to discuss? Such a good opportunity, if you miss it, you will never have it again."
Song Ruize came to Chuan Chuan Xiang and saw chaos there. He threw the reins to the waiter and rushed in.
"Don't smash things... Don't smash things..." Tang Luwu stopped several tall men from smashing things.
One of the men pushed her and she leaned back. Song Ruize held her shoulders and supported her.
When Tang Luwu saw Song Ruize, it was like she had found a life-saving straw: "Brother Song, they hurt Yinyin."
Song Ruize followed the direction Tang Luwu pointed and saw Qin Huiyin being hugged by Li Taohua. There was a wound on Qin Huiyin's forehead.
Tang Dafu stood in front of the mother and daughter. Although he was afraid, he did not retreat.
Tang Yichen rushed out upon hearing the news.
"What are you doing?"
Those big men were unfamiliar to me and I had never seen them before.
"My brother was severely burned by your guys. It's a bargain for you that I just smashed your store."
Qin Huiyin said weakly: "No, I saw with my own eyes that they deliberately tripped the waiter's legs, causing the waiter to pour soup on them. They were deliberately trying to scam me."
