Chapter 756 - 756 676 Landslide_1
?Chapter 756: Chapter 676, Landslide_1 Chapter 756: Chapter 676, Landslide_1 Daohua spent the Minor New Year with her family and then packed up her things to go to Taohua Village.
As it was still the period of mourning for Granny Gu, this year’s New Year celebrations for Daohua and Gu Jian were pretty subdued. Fortunately, one was busy with the preparations for spring plowing after the New Year, and the other with processing medicinal herbs, so they weren’t too bored.
Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was already February.
On the first day of February, Yan Zhigao’s appointment came through. He was not transferred to Beijing, but continued to serve as the Magistrate of Ningmen Prefecture.
At this, the entire Yan Family was somewhat disappointed.
Upon hearing the news, Daohua couldn’t help but frown, “Considering that he discovered potatoes, Father’s political achievements should be considered top-notch. When the Imperial Censor from the Ducha Courtyard left last year, he had a pretty good impression of Father and wouldn’t have given too low a rating. So why wasn’t he transferred to Beijing?”
Seeing his apprentice worried, Gu Jian knew what she was concerned about and reassured her, “Now is not a good time to be in Beijing. Anyway, Yeyang and your two brothers are still at the Northern Frontier. Going to the capital is of no use now. Besides, it would only involve you in various power struggles. Once Yeyang returns to the capital, he will definitely find a way to get your father transferred to Beijing.”
Daohua looked doubtful, “Can an official’s transfer be accomplished just because he wishes it? Moreover, it wouldn’t be good to use his position for personal reasons,” she said, and then sighed, “I’ll have to find a way myself.”
Gu Jian glanced at his apprentice, his eyes filled with amusement.
The little apprentice had one particular strength that he greatly admired: she never relied excessively on others, always preferring to solve problems herself without troubling anyone else.
When there was a loss of military supplies, he had been prepared for his apprentice to come seeking help. Yet, within just a few days, she had completely resolved the issue.
In the matter of the Guo Family tarnishing the Yan Family’s reputation, this girl acted decisively as well. Anyone else might have considered the relationship since, after all, the Guo Family was Yeyang’s maternal home.
She didn’t choose to suffer in silence or compromise, nor did she hesitate and miss the best opportunity to salvage the Yan Family’s reputation.
It’s said that Yan Zhigao and his wife didn’t know about it in advance—this girl made the decision all by herself!
