Transmigrated Female Official

225 is simply a towering tree.

"What? That kid's hit the jackpot?" Apart from Lei Tian, ​​who looked disdainful, everyone else in the room had expressions of anticipation and excitement.

"That's right! I heard from his fellow villagers that he's managed to snag the daughter of a high-ranking female official. That's no ordinary branch; she's practically a towering tree!" The person who told the story then deliberately kept everyone in suspense: "Guess which rank of female official's daughter she is?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Tian was taken aback, thinking to himself, "This Song Guyi has also climbed up the social ladder? But even if he's climbed higher, he can't compare to me." With that thought, he casually continued drinking.

“Let me guess…” one of them said, counting on his fingers, “Among the tenth-rank female officials, eight have already given birth, but only six have daughters. Could it be… the daughters of the God of Wealth, Lord Gongsun?!”

"Guess again," the person who was keeping everyone in suspense continued with a mysterious smile.

"I guess she's the daughter of Lord Li Ziyou, a ninth-rank official."

"puff--!"

Hearing everyone at the table laughing, the man who guessed it was Li Ziyou asked with a puzzled look, "What's so funny?!"

"You pig-brain!" The man who had been keeping him in suspense tapped him on the head and said, "The young lady of Lord Li's household is not even of marriageable age yet!"

The man who had been knocked on the head rubbed his head, looking unconvinced, and said, "She can't possibly be the daughter of Lord Yu Fei, a second-rank official, can she?! It's said that she's just like Lord Yu, always wearing a stern face and never smiling!"

"Look at your pathetic self." The person who had been keeping them in suspense gave them a disdainful look and then revealed, "Let me tell you, Song Guyi has managed to get close to the daughter of Lord Long Kui, a first-rank official!"

"What--?!"

While everyone was shocked, Lei Tian suddenly slammed his fist on the table and stood up!

"That's impossible—!" Lei Tian grabbed the man's collar and shouted angrily, "Who gave you permission to spread rumors here?!"

"I'm innocent, Brother Lei!" The man, who had been keeping everyone in suspense, looked completely innocent and reiterated, "She really is the daughter of a high-ranking official! This is what Song Guyi's fellow townsman said. I really didn't spread any rumors!"

The others were puzzled as to why Lei Tian was so angry, and they all looked at each other in bewilderment. One of the quicker-witted people pulled the collar of the man who was keeping secrets from Lei Tian's hand while trying to smooth things over, saying, "It's all someone else's business. Whether it's true or false, it has nothing to do with us. Brother Lei, please don't be angry."

"You know nothing!" Lei Tian glared at them fiercely, snorted coldly, and stormed off.

He thought to himself, whether it's true or not has nothing to do with these good-for-nothings, but for him... it's a big deal!

After watching Lei Tian rush out of the Yibin Pavilion, the owner, Zhou Yi, immediately went up to the second-floor private room and gently knocked on the door.

The door opened, and Ji Qiran came out of the room, asking casually, "How did it go?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "It's done."

"it is good."

……

Lei Tian, ​​seething with anger, headed straight for Miaoyin Pavilion. He figured Long Xiaohan should still be listening to music there at this hour, so he decided to go and find out what was going on.

When he hurriedly climbed to the second floor, the scene that greeted him made him even more furious! The man sitting next to Long Xiaohan was none other than Song Guyi!

Although he was anxious and angry, he didn't dare to openly break ties with Long Xiaohan, so he subconsciously slipped to an inconspicuous corner to sit down.

The spot he chose was both close to Long Xiaohan and directly behind her. After ordering tea and snacks in a low voice, he strained his ears to listen intently to the conversation between Long Xiaohan and Song Guyi…

"Gu Yi, have you thought about what I mentioned to you before?"

Song Guyi had already sensed Lei Tian's imposing arrival. He glanced at Lei Tian, ​​who was sitting back to back, before saying, "I... dare not think of it."

"If I tell you to think about it, then think about it. Why are you afraid to even think about it?!" Long Xiaohan chuckled softly, then asked, "Is there some difficulty?"

"To be honest, Miss, my salary is meager, and I'm afraid that the twelve gifts I've prepared for the initiation ceremony will seem too meager." Song Guyi deliberately raised the volume of the words "initiation gifts" so that Lei Tian could hear him clearly.

"What's so difficult about that?" Long Xiaohan said dismissively, "The initiation ceremony is just a formality, you don't need to worry about it. What I value is you as a person. As long as you are willing to join, I will take care of everything else."

As Song Guyi had hoped, Lei Tian heard everything clearly. He clenched his fists tightly, several veins bulging on the back of his hands!

Back then, it was precisely because of these twelve introductory gifts that he was unable to enter Long Xiaohan's door for so long! He remembered very clearly that each of the twelve introductory gifts that Long Xiaohan mentioned had to be a top-quality product from Cuipinxuan, and each one had to be inlaid with gold and jade!

For him, who was merely a guard, collecting all twelve of these extravagant gifts was an impossible task!

Even so, Lei Tian's ambition to climb the social ladder never ceased. Finally, he had an opportunity. Long Xiaohan told him that as long as he could quietly accomplish something, he could be allowed to join her.

However, the task he was asked to do had already been completed, but Long Xiaohan had not yet fulfilled her promise, always dismissing him with the excuse of "let's talk about it after things have calmed down"!

This matter was already frustrating enough for Lei Tian, ​​and now Song Guyi has interfered in the process! Although Long Xiaohan already had many male servants, why is he so devoted to her, while Song Guyi can do it so easily?!

"Now you have no more worries, right?" Long Xiaohan asked Song Guyi again.

"..." Song Guyi thought for a moment, still feeling somewhat embarrassed: "Actually, I have another concern, but I don't know if I should mention it."

"Why are you making such a fuss?!" Long Xiaohan was getting a little impatient, pouting as she said, "Just tell me, what are you worrying about with something so simple?!"

"I am of lowly rank, and if I were to enter Miss's household, I fear it would bring shame upon her."

"..." Long Xiaohan stared thoughtfully at Song Guyi. After observing him for a while, she found that he was not flustered at all, but rather very sincere. Then she said, "You don't need to worry about this. As long as you nod, I will ask Mother to help you transfer to the Emperor's side as a personal guard. That status... will be completely different from before."

"This..." Song Guyi seemed extremely flattered and said, "I am just a lowly guard, yet Miss has gone to such lengths for me... I am truly unworthy of such kindness!"

"Alright, it's settled then." Long Xiaohan raised the small cup in her hand, gave Song Guyi a charming smile, and said, "Just wait patiently for your apprenticeship."

Song Guyi bowed slightly, raised his small cup with both hands, and clinked it crisply against Long Xiaohan's small cup in the air...

At this moment, besides the raging fire of anger, Lei Tian also felt an extremely strong sense of shame! It was as if... in Long Xiaohan's eyes, he wasn't even human!

What's most infuriating is that he now has to swallow his pride and leave in shame, with his tail between his legs!
