Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 117

Not only Wang Ziteng, but even Xue Pan who hadn't spoken to him looked at Xue Hong in surprise.

Xue Hong smiled: "Although I am a naughty boy, I still know a little about the affairs of the court. Uncle, the starting point of everything you do is to hope that the Wang family will prosper. There is nothing wrong with that. But I remind uncle to be cautious. This year Gengyao It’s really not that easy to follow.”

"What I'm asking is how do you know about my relationship with Nian Gengyao?"

Xue Hong spread her hands: "Guess~"

"Guess?"

"Isn't it? Nian Gengyao is so arrogant that it's disgusting, but the Wang family has some weddings and ceremonies, the Nian family has always exchanged gifts, and the attitude of uncle and aunt towards the people of the Nian family, everyone can see that uncle and aunt Nian Gengyao's relationship is extraordinary. What's so hard to guess? Didn't uncle make it up for others to show his loyalty to the chronology?"

Wang Ziteng was ashamed, this was indeed his plan, but he did not expect that an eight-year-old child could see through him so far.

Can……

The reason why I got close to Nian Gengyao was because I took a fancy to his talent.

Nian Gengyao was a Jinshi in the 39th year of Kangxi. He had already attracted the attention of the emperor before the palace examination. Because of his burly figure, the emperor asked him if he knew martial arts. Nian Gengyao nodded and showed his fists and feet in court. The emperor was very happy.

Among the Jinshi on that list, Zhang Tingyu and others were able to be appreciated by the emperor, relying more on the light of the family.However, the reason why Nian Gengyao won the Sacred Heart was because he was an all-rounder in civil and military affairs. His light alone was already shining enough, which made Emperor Kangxi look forward to this new Jinshi in his heart.

Although Nian Gengyao, who passed the Jinshi examination, is only a good scholar for the time being, the occasional rewards from Emperor Kangxi seem to tell everyone that I like a courtier like Nian Gengyao very much, and I will entrust him with important responsibilities sooner or later.

And that's not all.

Nian Gengyao is not only talented, but also a well-rounded person who has both sides.In the short few years since he became a Shujishi, not to mention half of the ministers in the court and the central government, a small half have become his close friends.

He even married Kangxi's best friend in his youth, the daughter of Nalan Xingde, the most talented man in the Qing Dynasty, as his wife, and became the grandson-in-law of Nalan Mingzhu, a power minister at the time.

You must know that this Nalan family was a famous lady in the capital at the beginning, with first-class talent and appearance. There are many powerful and talented people who are about to level the threshold of Nalan Mansion.Why could such a girl marry Nian Gengyao, who had no background?Couldn’t it be said that Nian Gengyao is different?
And Nian Gengyao leaned on the big tree of Nalan's family, and he was a very hardworking person in terms of interpersonal relationships. Nian Gengyao took over almost all the good relationships that Mingzhu had formed in the court.His appearance also made the officials who were gradually alienated when they saw that the pearl could not be reused, start to walk with Nalan Mansion again.

In this way, Nian Gengyao gradually cultivated his own power.

And the prince Tengtuo Lai Zuyin descended to the ranks, and as a first-class viscount, he was already considered very wealthy.

However, he considers himself a person who has the ability to govern the world. He hopes that he can show his talents in the court and has ambitions. He is not satisfied with living this life relying on the shadow of his ancestors.

But now, he is just an inner court editor, not even a Jinshi. As a juren, even if he is an official, he has to endure year after year. It is rare to be a big official in the frontier.

Wang Ziteng can also choose to donate officials, but the donated officials have uneven official careers, and they are always excluded by courtiers with imperial examination backgrounds.To put it bluntly, donating officials can only serve as a starting point for legitimate officials and do errands.

Thinking that Wang Ziteng is a first-class viscount anyway, he must become a big official, what can an ordinary sesame official do?Who doesn't want to be a high official these days?Who doesn't want to be appreciated by the emperor?But there are countless officials in the imperial court, but there are a lot of people who want to be officials. How about saying "there are people in the imperial court who are good at being officials", you have to have connections.

Nian Gengyao and Wang Ziteng are two, one is thirsty for talents, and the other is hardworking.For someone like Wang Ziteng who has real talents and learning, and a prominent family background, Nian Gengyao will naturally win him over.For Wang Ziteng, there are too many obstacles on the way to the court, like one after another heavy gate, and there is a big lock weighing more than ten catties on the door, and Nian Gengyao is the master key to unlock it.

It is only natural that such two people hit it off.

However, although Wang Ziteng was dormant under Nian Gengyao's yet-to-be-full wings, he was not a blind man.

Nian Gengyao, because of his talent, makes people understand and admire him more and more, and because he is too self-righteous and headstrong, when he speaks, he never has an attitude and softness. It seems that no one is as crazy as him, even his subordinates People are often quite critical.

In fact, this is also easy to understand, but few people who are really capable have a good temper.Because he has the confidence and knows that no matter how angry he is at you, you won't dare to do anything. If you change to someone who is more capable than him, then he won't be able to lose his temper.

But such a person is really difficult to serve, Wang Ziteng already felt that Nian Gengyao was getting more and more right, and he had a tendency to be out of his control.

This time, it was Nian Gengyao's preference for his daughter to marry Yue Zhongqi.Nian Gengyao had already set his sights on the official position in Sichuan. The land of Bashu has been a blessed place since ancient times.

That Yue Shenglong is the admiral of Sichuan, No.1 in the Bashu land boundary, Nian Gengyao intends to send a beautiful and charming woman of noble birth to warm his son's bed, for his son's sake, he is not afraid that Yue Shenglong will not be in front of the Holy Master A few words.

If Nian Gengyao won a high-ranking official in Sichuan, then Prince Teng, who sacrificed his daughter, would naturally not be treated lightly. This is a win-win situation.So Wang Ziteng agreed to this matter without thinking for a long time, but he didn't expect his daughter to be so opposed to this marriage.

Originally, Wang Ziteng was very impatient, because if the marriage between his son and daughter is successful, his official career will have a good starting point. If the marriage really fails, then he doesn't know how many more years he will have to wait , how many detours to take.

But after Xue Hong's reminder, Wang Ziteng reflected on it again and again.

In the future, if Nian Gengyao is able to rise to the top, he will naturally follow him to eat and drink spicy food, but if his Nian Gengyao goes up and down, wouldn't those who have been close to him also face disaster?

Wang Ziteng was instantly caught in a conflict. What should he do?Do you want to give up the great opportunity in front of you?Or is it like Xue Hong said, clinging to Nian Gengyao while paying attention to Nian Gengyao's evidence?
Wait, evidence?What evidence does Nian Gengyao have?
Xue Hong has been carefully observing his uncle's expression. He doesn't know what his uncle is thinking. Anyway, the longer he thinks about it, the better. It means that his words have moved him and he knows to weigh it.
