Chapter 123 Seeking a Job, Entering the Game
Liang Chengli sighed. How did this end up involving him again?
It is an indisputable fact that he was not as good at studying as Liang Chengxuan since childhood, so he never complained and was quite content to stay at home unemployed.
However, Lin Lihua was clearly much more ambitious than him, always striving to be the best.
"You know how Sihan acts, I'm just afraid he's been deceived."
Lin Lihua ignored her completely and went back to her room.
The next morning, Miao Cui told her the information she had found on her way to the girls' school.
“The people Liang Sihan has offended recently are all here.” Miao Cui handed over a list. “In addition, Liang Sihan has recently been contacting the sons of the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, the Minister of Revenue, and the sons of the Imperial Guards, saying that she wants them to find her a job.”
Shen Hanyu paused slightly as she held the teacup. Did Liang Sihan want to become an official in the imperial court?
Liang Sihan is really too naive in some ways.
How could those guys possibly pull so many strings to get him a government position?
Shen Hanyu shook her head slightly: "Naive. His cronies are of no use at all."
"What the girl said is true. It is said that every time those guys go out for drinks and meals with Liang Sihan, Liang Sihan insists on paying the bill. Although it is just a small amount of money, one of them thinks that he is the Third Prince's brother-in-law, so they stick to him. The other thinks that Liang Sihan is too easy to fool, so he keeps her hanging on."
Miao Cui put everything down. Liang Sihan was quite easy to understand, as were her cronies.
"This information is very useful, thank you."
Shen Hanyu put the list away. Liang Sihan had taken the bait herself, and now she would have to atone for her mistakes.
Liang Sihan slept until the sun was high in the sky and then called for her maid to attend to her.
"I heard Shen Hanyu is back?"
The maid nodded: "She came back after the girls' school yesterday. The young master came back late, so he didn't see her."
Liang Sihan stroked her chin. This Shen Hanyu disappeared for a month without any reason, and they couldn't find her anywhere. Now she's back, but she's still completely at the mercy of the Marquis's mansion.
It's a pity that Shen Hanyu is now engaged to Pei Du.
But Pei Du went to the border.
Liang Sihan put his hands behind his back. Shen Hanyu was not easy to approach. He had feelings for her, but unfortunately, Shen Hanyu had no interest in him.
"Young master, what are you going to do?" The maid stammered, as if she had remembered something.
Liang Sihan laughed, "What else can I do? She's been betrothed by the Emperor. If she causes any trouble with me, I'll die with her."
At this point, Liang Sihan's mind cleared up a bit. She should have acted sooner; it was all Liang Siyu's fault for stopping her.
But now, he has to think carefully about his future, because those guys who fawned over him said they would arrange a good job for him.
With Liang Siyu set to marry Qi Jiaying in just a few months, he couldn't let Liang Siyu keep dominating him.
He couldn't find a good job, and even his marriage prospects weren't as good as Liang Siyu's.
Just thinking about it makes me angry.
Liang Sihan glanced at the maid: "I'm going out with the young master of the Feng family today. Tell my mother I'm leaving."
Seeing Liang Sihan leave, the little maid looked troubled. She had just woken up and was going out again. The madam must be resentful.
Liang Sihan simply shook her head and left, but she's sure she'll get scolded.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Liang Sihan went upstairs with ease. As soon as the door opened, several people were sitting inside, all of whom smiled when they saw him.
"Brother Liang has arrived."
Liang Sihan sat down in the main seat and stretched.
"No need to be polite, please sit down."
The group of people who got up were pressed down by Liang Sihan. He looked quite smug. Looking at how these people treated him, his status as the brother-in-law was really useful.
Liang Ruoxue had helped him out, so he should just send her something to thank her after things were done.
Once all the dishes were served, Liang Sihan stopped drinking alcohol and instead asked the waiter to bring a pot of tea.
After taking a sip of tea to calm herself down, Liang Sihan looked at Feng Xiao.
"Was everything you said last time true?"
Feng Xiao patted his chest and said yes.
“Brother Liang, how could I lie to you? My cousin is over there. I’ll tell my father, and we can go together and keep each other company.”
Hearing Feng Xiao's words, Liang Sihan immediately stopped doubting.
"You did a good job, kid. I'll definitely thank you properly after it's all done."
Feng Xiao chuckled, picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.
Liang Sihan is so easy to fool, such a brainless idiot.
"Speaking of which, Brother Liang, why don't you ask His Highness the Third Prince to make some arrangements for you? Isn't your sister the future Third Prince's consort?"
Jiang Yushan, who was standing next to Feng Xiao, asked a question out of curiosity.
Given Liang Sihan's family background and the relationship between Liang Ruoxue and Li Jun, how could she possibly have trouble finding a job?
Liang Sihan sighed, holding her chopsticks.
“You don’t know, my uncle is in charge of the Marquis’s mansion. That old-fashioned man won’t help me, let alone his own son. He says we have to rely on ourselves to get ahead. As for my sister, she’s always been against me since she was little, so she won’t help me either.”
Liang Sihan felt that these people were all blind to talent. Liang Siyu had studied hard for so many years, but he was still in the Hanlin Academy and hadn't been promoted at all.
If Marquis Anping were his father, he would definitely be a thousand times better than Liang Siyu. Now he has a perfect opportunity to prove himself.
Feng Xiao and Jiang Yushan exchanged a glance.
Feng Xiao poured Liang Sihan a cup of tea: "These people don't know how capable Brother Liang is. In my opinion, once Brother Liang becomes an official and rises step by step, he will definitely be more capable than your elder brother."
Liang Sihan was very pleased with the praise; these words really hit the nail on the head.
"You guys really know me, you have good taste!"
The three laughed heartily, each harboring their own secrets.
Shen Hanyu spent a day at the girls' school when Jin Chui suddenly came over and delivered a letter.
“Miss, this was sent by my young master.”
The letter was slipped into Shen Hanyu's hand, and Jin Chui ran away but then turned back.
"Please remember to reply, young lady."
Shen Hanyu looked helpless as she took the letter and boarded the carriage.
"Go back first."
On the carriage, Shen Hanyu opened the letter.
Jin Chui really told Pei Du everything.
In his letter, Pei Du told Shen Hanyu about the things in Lizhou that she wanted to know, but Pei Du didn't know much about them either.
The incident in Lizhou was suppressed by the Emperor, and only the Emperor could handle it so cleanly.
Despite being only a few years apart in age, Princess Yongning already had a title, while Li Huaijiang never did, leaving her in an awkward position within the royal family, a situation also influenced by Li Sheng's affair.
Legend has it that Li Huaijiang pleaded for Li Sheng's life, which angered the emperor.
After closing the letter, Shen Hanyu pondered the matter carefully.
It doesn't seem that simple. Judging from Li Huaijiang's words, the matter of Lizhou doesn't seem to be because of Li Sheng.
So Li Huaijiang's last words were meant to clear Li Sheng's name.
Once you're on board, there's no turning back. Whatever lies ahead, you'll find out by trying.
