Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 497 Afraid of Death
Dunjun Wang couldn't, who told him not to ask what the shop was for before he came?Now that Brother Nine has said so, it is doomed to get nothing here today, Duke Dun said angrily: "Yinzhen, I'm going to see Myna today, so I don't care about it with you, let's wait and see! "

Looking at the backs of Lao Jiu and Lao Shi leaving angrily, Prince Yong said coldly: "That's not true, we will have many accounts to settle in the future."

"My lord!"

Xue Hong is also drunk, it seems that there are two Tai Sui statues in their Xue family's shop, that is the Nine and Twelve Lords.These two seem to have made a special trip to find fault.That time at Fuying Restaurant, they made a pirated version and expected to grab business. He could understand it. This time, they saw that the Xue family had become Prince Yong's staff.Fortunately, the imperial business is not within the scope of these two masters for the time being. Maybe the Xue family will inevitably wear the small shoes given by these two masters in the future, but it is not harmful, and the foundation of the Xue family will not be shaken.Helpless, who let Xue Hong know the ending of the story as soon as he came up, and chose the final game winner to be the boss?What you gain is what you lose, and that's fair.

When Prince Yong saw Xue Hong, he smiled and said, "You are here. But you are finished, Lao Jiu and Lao Shi have already been sent away by this king."

Xue Hong hurriedly knelt down and said: "Thank you, my lord, for making the siege. This Yurongxuan has just opened, and it was still behind when it made money. Now the king of Dun County can't get in if he tries to force his way in. In the future, no man will dare to force his way in." .For Yu Rongxuan, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, thank you lord for taking action."

"You are very polite. You don't have to be so polite, I'm helping you myself. By the way, I happened to see you. I have something important to tell you about your family. Come back with me."

"Yes, the students take orders."

When they arrived at Prince Yong's mansion, Yinzhen ordered someone to serve a cup of fragrant tea to Xue Hong: "Try it, this is the new Jin Junmei from Fujian this year, Huang Ama rewarded me with some, come and taste how it tastes." ?”

Xue Hong stood up and bowed before opening the bone china cup lid.I saw that the tea soup was bright red, and there was an obvious gold ring at the contact point between the cup and the tea soup.

"Good tea! Just by looking at the golden circle, you can tell that this tea is an extraordinary product. Its sweet fragrance is so mellow. Hehe, the emperor still loves the prince. Our family spends a lot of silver taels every year to find and buy such a good tea. The ones I get are only a few pounds, and I am extremely reluctant to brew them every time. And the students heard that the production of Jinjunmei this year is not high, so this year the students’ family has doubled the money compared to previous years, but the ones they found are not as good as those in previous years. Good condition."

Prince Yong smiled and said, "What's it worth? If you like it, I'll let someone pack two catties and send it to your home when I go back later."

Xue Hong laughed and said, "Thank you, my lord, for the reward."

"Get up now, it's time for me to tell you something serious."

"Yes, my lord."

Prince Yong took a sip of tea leisurely, and then said: "Speaking of which, it is your Xue family who strives for their own strength. The patent law was proposed a while ago, and the caravan performed very well. In addition, your Xue family is a big taxpayer this year, so Huang Ama decided to promote your father as the right servant of the household department as a reward. The imperial decree has been drawn up, and the decree should be issued within two days."

"What? Is this true? This... Thank you, my lord, for your support!"

Hearing this, Xue Hong thanked Prince Yong happily, and Prince Yong was also very satisfied with Xue Hong's sensitive reaction.Although he is not very old, he knows that the first person Xue family should thank for getting such a high official position is not Huang Ama, but Prince Yong.

The right servant of the household department, from the second grade official.Wearing a coral crown with a single-eyed flower feather on his head, wearing a golden pheasant court dress, and recorded by the official historian, he can be regarded as a high-ranking official who shows his face very much.For the Xue family, this is definitely a unparalleled joy, and it is a great event for the glory of the ancestors. Isn't Xue Hong's long-term expectation is to improve the status of a merchant in the Xue family in Beijing?Does this count as completing the task ahead of schedule?
Seeing that Xue Hong was in a daze, Prince Yong waved his hands: "Okay, you go back first and let your father prepare. This is a promotion from a fifth-rank official to a second-rank official. This kind of promotion is unprecedented since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Although this matter is a good thing for the Xue family, an overly high official position will also be a double-edged sword. I heard that if your Xue family hadn't become the largest taxpayer, Huang Ama would have It is also impossible to give your father such a high official position. Just the pen of the historian is a very troublesome thing. So, this king is thinking, should I play Huang Ama, please Huang Ama not give it to you for the time being My father holds such a high official position."

Xue Hong felt a little disappointed after hearing Yinzhen's words.But what he said is also reasonable, what is the capital?There are royal relatives and nobles all over the place, the Xue family is so favored, I am afraid that in the end, everyone will pay attention to it, and when the time comes, the tree will attract the wind and troubles will continue, that is not possible.

Xue Hong said: "My lord is very worried. I come from a merchant in the Xue family, and I am even more despised by the world than the Qingliu in the court. If my father is allowed to surpass so many levels at once... Uh, students, do the math, this It’s going up to five levels in a row! I’m afraid that the Xue family will end up climbing and falling, and that’s not worth the loss. It’s better to take one step at a time and be safe. Please take care of the Xue family.”

Yinzhen looked at Xue Hong, and his level of satisfaction with him rose to another level: "You are not arrogant or impetuous, and you can stand the test, which is very good. For a minister, although wealth and wealth are important, but if you are closer to power The less blessed you are, the better not to be greedy for power from the very beginning. Many people in ancient and modern times can’t see through this truth. At such a young age, it’s so rare that you don’t care about power.”

Xue Hong scratched the back of her head, and smiled awkwardly: "Look at what the lord said, it is too flattering to the students. The students have been rich since childhood, but they still want to be richer under the protection of the lord. The lord knows that students love money so much. It’s a pity to die. Being so cautious is just for fear of death, how can the prince say it so clearly?”

"Oh, whether you are afraid of death or transparent, I am very pleased to be able to give up a second-rank official position for your father. Well, you go back first. I believe you can understand Your father will definitely understand."

"Yes, the student will leave."

Xue Hong went back to the mansion and found her father. When she told about this matter, Xue Yijin broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said: "Hong'er, you..."
