Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 66
Although he had doubts in his heart, it didn't show on his face at all.I saw Xue Yi cupping his hands again and saying: "You are not talented, Wen Yan."

"Wen Yan? Such an elegant name."

Xue Yi nodded: "Father only hopes that our brothers can get some grades in studies, but it's a pity that he has three sons, but none of them are suitable for studying, so I feel ashamed."

Zhang Tingyu shook his head: "Oh, no. Although you can't study well, you have an up-and-coming son. He passed the scholar examination at a young age, and you are already worthy of your ancestors."

At this time, I am afraid that only mentioning Xue Hong can make him happy.

Not long after, the waiter brought the prepared meals, but Xue Yi looked at the exquisite dishes on the table but had no appetite at all.

Zhang Tingyu was full of chatter, but didn't mention anything about her sister's poisoning. What kind of medicine was sold in this gourd?

Perhaps it was because Zhang Tingyu really couldn't find any topics to attract Xue Yi to chat with, or because he felt that enough gossip was enough, and he finally talked about some nutritious things.

"A while ago, my sister's house was not peaceful. I also heard about it. They all said that it was related to Wen Yan's house, but I don't think so."

Xue Yi was startled, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back: "This... I would like to hear the details."

Zhang Tingyu smiled: "It's very simple. No one who has sharpened his head and climbed up is willing to ruin his family's future for a little trivial matter, isn't he?"

"!"

Although it was just a simple sentence, it explained the schemes and prayers of several lifetimes of the Xue family.How can a businessman not be greedy for power?
That's all for others, Xue Yi has always been shrewd, and everyone who has dealt with him knows that, how could he do stupid things that destroy his future when his family is bright? ?

Everything was nothing more than a shady battle in the back house, and the most important thing was that Zhang Lingxuan was safe, so this matter already seemed insignificant under Zhang Tingyu's deliberate understatement, but the insight in his words still made Xue Yi deeply disturbed.

When a person's plans and attempts are completely seen through, then negotiation is meaningless, and all you can do is to be asked for by the other party.

It's like when someone knows your reserve price when talking about business, you will never sell it at a good price again, the reason is the same.

The snake hit seven inches, Zhang Tingyu said such a strong word as soon as he came up, Xue Hong seemed to have no other choice but to acquiesce with a wry smile.

"Since that's the case, why don't you go and ask the Eight Sage Kings? Nowadays, anyone who wants to be an official just needs to tell the eighth elder brother, and there is nothing wrong with his wish. Why bother to wait for your son to get the honor? Isn't this looking far away? "

The eighth prince, Yinsu, was the least noble among all the adult princes of Emperor Kangxi because his mother-in-law was born in Xinzheku.

The ups and downs in the palace made him know how to endure humiliation and bear the burden since he was a child, and he redoubled his study of civil and military knowledge, hoping to get the attention of Emperor Kangxi.

Fortunately, hard work will eventually pay off. Among the many princes of Lord Kangxi, Yinhu may be called the top of the tower.

In recent years, Yinhu has been keen on accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. As long as she sees someone in need, she will lend a helping hand unconditionally.No matter what you want, as long as you tell Yinhu, you want an official position, and you want money.

People's hearts are fleshy, and after a long time, everyone regarded him as a living Bodhisattva, and the reputation of the Eight Worthy Kings spread like this, so it's no wonder Zhang Tingyu would ask this question.

But every time Yinhu helps people, he doesn't care whether the person is worth helping or not at that time. On the contrary, he seems to help others for the sake of helping others. After a period of time, no one asked him to come to his house, so he was anxious and sent people to investigate and ask Does anyone need his help.

Others don't know these things, how could Xue Yi, who is doing business in the capital, not know?In the families of people of some status in the capital, it seems that even cats and dogs are "bright futures" and "worthy of use" in the eyes of the eight princes.

Whether this is really helping people or trying to gain fame, anyone with a discerning eye can understand it at a glance.

But the gang of officials in the capital, even if they saw it, no one explained it. They not only let it go, but also spread the wisdom of Eighth Prince everywhere.

Let me be good, if you guys know that Kangxi also has spies that have infiltrated every corner of the capital, let's see if you can continue to be so arrogant!

Xue Yi smiled: "The eighth elder brother is a benevolent one, but my son is young and energetic. On the first day he went to take the exam, he said that he was not allowed to 'arrange' for him. I don't have the strength to take on the burden of being a courtier. As a father, I have no reason to hinder my child's willingness to strive for success. I only want to wait until he really can't earn in the future, but I really don't want to ask Eighth Brother to go."

"This is your fault. How bad is it for a child to take the scientific examination? Even if you really wait until the day when your son is admitted to the Jinshi, you will be old. Even if the Xue family can rise, you can see the limit for a few years." of?"

"But... the eighth elder brother is full of clouds and dragons. I am afraid that the child will be reckless and get into trouble and come back. It is better to detain him at home and study. Besides, brother, I am a hard worker, and I am very strong when I travel around on weekdays. As long as I can see Hong'er's future with my eyes closed, this life will not be in vain."

This is actually quite straightforward. Even if Xue Hong is not rare, he is still a very good child. If you want me to send a good child to the eighth elder brother to flirt with the people in that room, I can't do it !

Besides, his eighth elder brother seems to be in a good mood now, but he is always warned by the Holy Majesty not to get too close to the courtiers, but he just doesn't listen.

Now the crown prince is still there in the court hall, why are you jumping around, you are not afraid of offending Lord Kangxi, and giving you a "click" all at once?

Tsk tsk, I have worked hard all my life, but I don't know how to please my father, and I don't know whether it's fake smart or really stupid. It's better to rely on my own son than to rely on the eight virtuous kings!

Zhang Tingyu nodded when he heard the words: "That's true. Well, that's all I said. It's hard for people like us to get into the Jinshi exam. If your son is quick-witted, his official career may be in jeopardy Be frank, and I don’t need to worry about it here.”

"Pfft... Where is it, brother Hengchen has won the prize." Xue Yi spit out a mouthful of tea in surprise, and waved his hands hurriedly.

"Oh~ why are you being overly modest? Lian'er keeps praising your son every time I see him. Your son's reputation in our family is much louder than that of a father like you. You really don't have to worry about having a son like this. .”

Xue Yi's eyebrows twitched, why did the more he listened to him, the more frightening he became?
Brother, I beg you, please don’t praise us anymore, the old Xue family has nothing else, but self-knowledge is still there, if you always have something to say, just say it, don’t go around here, okay?Do you think you are a snail?
