Parents are busy farming

Rather than hanging around in the government office, it would be better to let them go into business or do other things they can do.

I heard that the eldest brother means that the Holy One has long looked down on this group of people and has the intention to deal with them, but he has not yet poured out the empty space.

As long as the emperor thinks of these people one day, they will probably have to go back to where they came from.

If you donate your official position to your brothers at home at this time, it will just be a waste of money.

Not only wasting money, but also embarrassing the Hong family in front of the Holy Emperor, losing the trust of the Hong family in front of the Holy Emperor, making his and his eldest brother's career more difficult, why should they make it difficult for themselves?

Mr. Hong Er thought a lot, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing that he remained silent, Mr. Hong deliberately coughed.

Master Hong naturally heard it. He looked up at his father and then at his eldest brother, and then asked Mr. Hong: "Dad, what's going on at home? In fact, you should investigate it yourself first. You have been solving problems for the emperor for so many years, don't you want your family to Are other children like you? But if they are not the material, why would you bother them!"

His words seemed like an answer, but also like he didn't answer. Once again, the problem was thrown to Mr. Hong.

Mr. Hong smiled. His second brother was like this. He was always able to handle family and court matters smoothly. In terms of being an official, the second brother's personality was more suitable.

But he is not bad either. He has the trust of the Holy Emperor and is already the Minister of Household Affairs. He may soon become the head of the Sixth Department.

But he didn't know that because he had a strong ability to make money, the emperor did not intend to let him leave the Ministry of Accounts easily.

How could Mr. Hong not understand something that even Mr. Hong knew?

After glaring at Mr. Hong Er, he waved his hand to let the two of them go out.

He really needs to think about this matter carefully and ask the other children for their opinions.

But for Mrs. Hong, if these children want to donate their official positions, it is probably impossible.

Mr. Hong has been an official all his life. He has been able to climb to that position and has been deeply trusted by the Holy Emperor all his life. He naturally has a proud body. How could he let his son and grandson do such unworthy things!

After the two sons went out, he called the old housekeeper in and asked him for his opinion on the matter.

"Do you think I can let those unsatisfied people do something else? It's not like they have nothing to do at home all day! In the future, when the old two of us are gone, they will be divided into brothers. Family, these families can’t always come to the old man’s house or the second son’s house to enjoy the autumn breeze, right? If that’s the case, my sons must have the ability to be self-reliant!”

The old housekeeper didn't know why, but Mr. Hong suddenly mentioned this matter, but he still followed the old man's words.

"Where do you want the old master to arrange the young masters? Or do you want the young masters to learn something?"

"Since they can't pass the exam, they have no desire to be officials. As for what they want to study, it's up to them. They can study whatever they like! Just in time, you can call them all over to me later, and I'll take them one by one. Just ask."

When the old housekeeper heard this, he immediately bent down and said, "Yes!"

The old housekeeper has a very high status in our family, and even several gentlemen are very courteous to him.

If he were to summon Mr. Hong's sons in person, they would have no choice but to come to the study.

Let’s not mention the conversation between Mr. Hong and his sons for the moment. Let’s just say that after Mr. Hong and Mr. Hong left Mr. Hong’s study, the two brothers walked a long way together.

"Brother, how do you plan to sell those clocks? It seems that you are very confident. Do you want to inform the Lord about this?"

How about Mr. Hong's suitability for officialdom? He asked all the key points.

Master Hong walked around, stroking his beard, and said with a smile: "Of course I have to tell the Holy One about this matter, but I can't tell you how to deal with it specifically yet, but after a few days, you should knew."

Seeing that Mr. Hong didn't want to talk, Mr. Hong Er didn't force him, "Okay, I'll wait and see! Brother, do you have anything else to tell me? If not, I'll go back first."

Mr. Hong shook his head and said, "You go ahead and do your work. I'm going to see if there's anything wrong with the clock that the heirloom boy brought. After I arrange those things, I'll go to the palace to meet the saint."

The two brothers said their goodbyes and separated, and as expected, Mr. Hong went directly to the yard of Wang Chuan's family.

At this time, Pang Chao and the Wang brothers were chatting. After Mr. Hong came in, the three of them hurriedly said hello to Mr. Hong.

"Hey, you haven't left yet!" Mr. Hong said jokingly when he saw Pang Chao was there.

"Yes, Mrs. Hong said that we should follow your arrangements. If not, we will just wait."

Pang Chao spoke respectfully, but not flatteringly.

"Okay! Now show me those clocks. Are the rest of them of the same quality?"

Wang Chuanjia and Pang Chao nodded repeatedly, "We have already seen it just now, it is indeed true, but uncle should take another look at it himself!"

After Wang Chuanjia finished speaking, he took Mr. Hong to the room where the clocks were placed. After opening them, the remaining clocks were arranged in order. The engravings on the clock cases vary.

Mr. Hong looked at them one by one and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good! I'm going to the palace to meet the Holy One later, so I can bring one to the Holy One!"

After Mr. Hong finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a boy came in. Following the direction of Mr. Hong's finger, he looked at a clock and repackaged it, then hugged it and touched it to Mr. Hong's side.

Mr. Hong wants to present the clock to the emperor. Pang Chao and Wang Chuanjia have nothing to say.

After Mr. Hong got the clock, he took Xiao Si and left without any further instructions, and he left very quickly, as if he was afraid that the two children would regret it.

Apart from looking at things, Mr. Hong basically didn't tell the two of them any plans this time, so the two of them had no choice but to turn into servants who kept an eye on the remaining clocks.

In fact, Pang Chao could probably guess what Mr. Hong was thinking at this time, but as a businessman, it was better not to speculate on the thoughts of officials or even the emperor.

Mr. Hong was gone, and there was no point in Pang Chao being here anymore, so he also said goodbye.

Wang Chuan's family didn't want him to stay either. Anyway, he would be gathering in the capital often in the future, so it was inevitable for the two of them to meet.

What's more, the uncle hasn't taken away these clocks yet. After the clocks are taken away, the uncle will always give them money. When the time comes, the money will be handed over to Pang Chao.

This is what Ye Zifen warned him repeatedly when he came.
