143 “Sexy Pampering” Chapter 142

【Daddy Chapter 18】Seeking an official position

When Chu Jiao woke up the next day, she was already in her bed.I guess a certain man knew what was right and sent her back to her room.

Last night’s indulgence made her whole body sore. When she stood up, the silk quilt slipped off, and her fresh skin was covered with red marks.She scolded Shen Zhen in her heart, “It’s such a big summer, how can she meet people like this.”

Her eyes caught a glimpse of the small couch next to her. There was a pile of brand new clothes placed there. She picked it up and took a look. The brilliance was flowing and the colorful clothes were floating in the air.

“Humph, I guess he has a conscience.”

Chu Jiao’s lips curved into a smile that she didn’t even notice, and she called Lu Huan into the room to help her change clothes.

At this moment, at the side door of Shen’s house, a young man with black eyes was pacing back and forth anxiously.

“Oh, Xiaosheng, it’s useless for you to be anxious,” the old lady guarding the door consoled. “At this time, our three masters have all gone to court. Just wait for two more hours.”

“Ouch, we still have to wait two hours?” The young man looked handsome, but a little oily. When he heard this, he stamped his feet anxiously.

“Mom, then please pass the message to the Third Young Madam for me and tell her that her brother wants to see you!” The young man took out his sleeve and stuffed a silver barley into the old woman’s hand.

The old woman hesitated, “Okay, I’ll go ask you again.”

“Young mistress,” Hong Xiu opened the curtain and walked into the room, “The side porter sent a message that our eldest young master wants to see you.”

Several maids are all Chu Jiao’s dowry, and the Chu family has children. Of course, the eldest young master in his mouth is Chu Jiao’s biological eldest brother, Chu Dahai.

“Him?” Chu Jiao’s heart suddenly changed, and she guessed Chu Dahai’s intention, “Let him come in and welcome him to the front hall.”

Before she could settle the score with this bastard who randomly married off his own girl, he took the initiative to send her to her door. It was just right.

Chu Dahai had no choice but to find Chu Jiao this time.

He made the decision to marry his sister into the Shen family at that time, and he was completely bewitched by one person.The man took the initiative to make friends with him, claiming to be the nephew of the old lady of the Shen family, and the cousin of Shen Zhen, the current minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. After a few casual compliments, Chu Dahai became happy and satisfied, thinking that he had found a good match for his sister, and at the same time, he could solve the most pressing issues in his career.

It turned out that after Chu Jiao’s wedding, he was unable to contact the so-called “cousin” of the old lady of the Shen family who had always been his brother-in-law. Of course, he did not get the “cousin”‘s promise to let Shen Zhen arrange an official position for him.

Almost all the family property brought from the northwest was attached to Chu Jiao’s dowry. Chu Dahai had been waiting for a long time, and the money he had been squandering all day long had long since gone to the bottom. The official who he thought he had captured was never found, and he finally couldn’t sit still.He came to Shen’s house and wanted to ask to see Shen Zhen, but he was blocked by the concierge. He had to find his sister to find out what was going on.

“Shen Qing, it’s almost time.”

After the court meeting, Shen Zhen was stopped by the chamberlain and received a profound message from Emperor Xie Yu.

He respectfully accepted the instructions and exited the hall.

Sitting in the sedan chair returning home, Shen Zhen closed his eyes and meditated.

This game of chess has been played for too long, and it’s time to close the net.

The emperor’s patience has run out, but those nobles from aristocratic families still ignore the Sacred Heart and still band together to try to influence the government, maintaining the remaining trace of ridiculous dignity.

So, just choose one to have the surgery.

Shen Zhen played with the jade pendant around his waist. Yes, the jade pendant was all black, with a big roc standing proudly on it. It was as if the person Shen Zhen gave to Chu Jiao on the day they served tea with the bride was a pair of secretly hesitant people.

Where to start?

The sedan stopped and he walked towards the study while thinking about it. However, when passing by the front hall, he happened to hear two people arguing in a low voice.

“What does it mean to ‘die this heart’!?”

“Dad entrusted you to me before he left, and I have never treated you badly! Now I just ask you to beg your father-in-law. Are you not even willing to do this little thing for your brother!? Jiaojiao!”

“Little things?”

“Just because of this trivial matter, you would marry your own sister to a person who has no clue about her?”

“Chu Dahai, since you are my blood relative, I kindly remind you. You look like you are being fooled, but you still want to be an official? Do you want to buy an official? You won’t be able to keep Wu Sha Mao even before you take office!”

“Hush, please keep your voice down! W-what are you talking about buying an official position! I am also a person with a good reputation! I just want Shilang Shen to be accommodating and find me a position!”

“Ha! The reputation of being a scholar? I can’t stand it.”

“Brother, you’d better take it easy. Although my father is gone, his power is still there. Why not go back to the northwest and make great achievements again!”

“Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants!! Businessmen are the lowest, do you know! I want to honor my ancestors!”

“Jiaojiao, please help brother! Brother has prepared a full sixty-four dowry for you!”

“Oh, you prepared this for me!?” Chu Jiao smiled angrily, “That was clearly prepared for me by my father before he was alive! Chu Dahai, wake up and stay away from this maelstrom of the capital before it’s too late.”

She warned with good intentions, “I can’t save myself now, and when the time comes… I won’t be able to save you.”

“You enjoy the hot food and drink in this wealthy family every day, but you can’t protect yourself?” Chu Dahai didn’t believe Chu Jiao’s words at all, “Don’t lie, Shen Zhen is the youngest fourth-grade official in our Daxi Dynasty, and his future is limitless!”

“He has an unlimited future,” Chu Jiao looked at Chu Dahai coolly, “But what does this have to do with me.”

“You are her daughter-in-law, and I am also his in-law. It is only human nature to help a relative!” Chu Dahai was still hoping.

“They don’t treat me as their daughter-in-law…” Chu Jiao’s words were cryptic, but she deliberately misunderstood Chu Dahai.

Shen Zhen, who was standing outside the front hall and eavesdropping, heard the girl’s words and finally couldn’t help but walk inside.

Why is the little girl’s tone so resentful?

Could it be…that he didn’t feed her last night?

“Really?” Although Chu Dahai hurriedly married Chu Jiao, he was not blind. During these days in Beijing, he also inquired about the Shen family’s affairs. This is why he is so anxious now, “Is your husband really not his own?”

“Yeah…” Chu Jiao nodded, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a black figure walking towards here.

She didn’t want Chu Dahai to jump out and say something random in front of Shen Zhen, so she quickly wanted to end the conversation between the two.

“I’ve said everything I need to say. There’s no way I can help you. You should leave quickly.”

Serve tea and see off guests.

“No, dear sister,” Chu Dahai said anxiously, “I’m not asking for a high official position! I’m just asking for a small official position, so please help my brother…”

“No…” Before Chu Jiao could finish her heartless words, her body was held down by a big hand.

“Okay,” Shen Zhen sat on the couch next to Chu Jiao with a gentle tone, “What official position does my nephew want?”

–
Small theater:

Shen Zhen: My dear nephew, I will give you whatever you want.

Chu Dahai: Mr. Shen, you are so kind!

Shen Zhen: There is one condition.

Chu Dahai: You, you say.

Shen Zhen: Call me brother-in-law.

Chu Dahai:???
