The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian is still not so clear about what other people's family wants to cause troubles. The most important thing for him now is his own future. But I went to the household department to work for more than a year, and I didn't know what to do.

The Zhang family reassured him very calmly, it was nothing serious, his future was probably going to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the news from the Xu family was similar.

It's a pity that this is definitely not a happy thing for Jia Lian. Xu Cheng, who was in the same subject as him, calmly chose to go to the sixth department after the Hanlin Academy closed, and he also started as the principal. It is still booming, and after three years, it is impossible to say that he will be promoted again.And for him, after three years, he still has to start from the position of the principal. It's really hard to feel happy just thinking about it.

It's a pity that no matter how unhappy he feels, he will go to work obediently after receiving the arrangement, but there are still some advantages. He is already too familiar with the household department, and the work is nothing. The troublesome place can definitely be regarded as excellent.

As for Xu Cheng's choice to release it, Jia Lian was a little surprised when he heard it, "I never thought that he would have such an idea." No state capital, no Taiwan province!

Xu Hui was terribly worried about this. Although she was smarter than ordinary girls, at this time, her worry still made her unable to think rationally, "I really don't know what brother thinks, is there something wrong in the capital? Isn't it good? Why does he want to let it out?"

This is what Mrs. Xu came to tell her, "Your brother, I can't control him anymore. He didn't want to let him stay in Hanlin back then. It's not easy to be the master. Three years later, but Run and let it out."

"However, I have already made it clear to him that I want to stay at home with my grandson. If he is so disrespectful to me, I have to raise my grandson well, and strive to have grandsons who are filial to me in the future!" Mrs. Xu said Even though he said this, he still felt sorry for Xu Cheng in his heart, that is, the child was getting older, his wings were hardened, and he was no longer obedient.

Xu Hui was also worried about her brother in her heart, but she still wanted to say words of comfort to her mother, "My brother has always been very filial, but he also has his own ideas. I'm afraid it's better for him to experience himself outside."

Taking the example of the Zhang family again, "Didn't the second uncle also choose to go out for training early, and the current official position is higher than that of the eldest uncle who stayed in the capital!" This refers to the two grandfathers of the Zhang family. Yes, it is indeed a representative, I am afraid that Xu Cheng has such an idea, and he has also received some inspiration.

It's a pity that this doesn't make sense, "The old lady over there has two sons, but I have only one son, yet I'm still so disobedient."

What else can Xu Hui say?In her own heart, she also feels that letting go outside is not necessarily a good thing, after all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, there must be a lot of local snakes, and there is definitely a lot of trouble.Her elder brother is naturally talented, but Qianglong doesn't overwhelm local snakes, not to mention, Xu Cheng went to a farther place, even to Guangdong.

Unlike the women's worries, Jia Lian was thinking that Guangdong is a richer place than Fujian. Although the troubles are also doubled, there are many foreigners in that place. The business also expanded accordingly.

If Xu Hui knew what he thought, he would definitely blame him severely, so Jia Lian absolutely couldn't tell Xu Hui, he could only face his uncle, "Brother went to Guangzhou this time. Mansion, it can really be regarded as the sky is high and the emperor is far away."

In Xu Cheng's heart, he really wanted to go to such a place. If he was in the capital, everyone would look at his father's face, how could he show his talent.To be honest, having such an idea is largely due to the arrogance of young people, who don't want to be considered as gnawing on the old.

As for Jia Lian, he didn't have such an idea at all. In modern times, it doesn't matter, and he has to do everything possible to find a relationship. If there is a relationship, he will be a big fool in everyone's eyes.Under the influence of this kind of thinking, Jia Lian has no embarrassment at all about his current achievements with the help of relatives in the family. The only pressure is to perform well and not to embarrass the family.

Besides, Guangzhou Mansion can be regarded as an excellent place. From Jia Lian's point of view, there are bonus points for Xu Cheng's excellent performance in the past three years, but his father-in-law, Xu Cheng's father, played a role in it. The effect will definitely not be less.It's just that, he doesn't need to point it out, lest the uncle's face will be embarrassing.

When Xu Cheng saw Jia Lian, he didn't have those twists and turns in his heart. He just thought that he was going to travel far away, and the people at home needed to be taken good care of by Jia Lian in such a far away place.He didn't worry much about his younger sister. When he was at home, he was not such a standard lady. He was more worried about his parents. After all, there were only two brothers and sisters.My younger sister is already married, and it is rare to go home, and I have to take a job outside, and I don't know when I will be able to come back.

Even my own daughter-in-law let her stay with her because of her mother's thoughtfulness, but she was a little bit reluctant to stay with her son, but the child is also young, so I'm afraid she won't be able to bear the pain on the way It's better to stay at home.

"I'm transferring out this time, and everything in the family will get rid of my sister-in-law." When Xu Cheng said this, he was extremely sincere.

Naturally, Jia Lian waved his hands again and again to express that there was no problem, and he would definitely take good care of Xu Cheng's parents, "The son-in-law is the son-in-law, so I should take care of my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Jia Lian usually behaves well, and in Xu Cheng's opinion, he is the kind of person who is trustworthy. Hearing that he agreed, he felt relieved a lot. Of course, his current relief is also temporary. I know how my mother is still complaining about my nephew.

"Tell me, if he wants to be released outside, wouldn't it be okay to put him at the door of the house? It's easier even to meet each other," Mrs. Xu felt uncomfortable when she mentioned this, "Your father But I followed him and let him go to Guangzhou Mansion. I heard that even the language is different from our place. It is hot and humid. I don’t know how uncomfortable it is. He has never eaten it since he was a child. What kind of suffering, how can I endure it?"

Mrs. Xu is actually very uncomfortable. As a mother, no one can win over her own children, not to mention that Xu Shangshu also has ideas in his heart. Even if she complained, she didn't get what she wanted. I can only vent in front of my daughter.

It was also the first time for Xu Hui to feel the power of a middle-aged woman. Usually, her mother is also a gentle and polite mistress, very similar to Mrs. Zhang, and she has never seen her mother so worried.What happened the last time she acted like this?Oh, come to think of it, it was the eve of her wedding, and she was so worried and nagged a lot.

"Mother, don't worry." Xu Hui complained about his brother's disobedience in his heart, and he couldn't follow suit at this time, "My brother also hopes that you can rest assured, otherwise, wouldn't he worry about you when he was so far away? ?”

It's a pity that Mrs. Xu is no longer able to think rationally, "He shouldn't go." Well, in fact, she still has a little rationality, and she didn't say that she should not go at all, knowing that the emperor's appointment is impossible. fixed one.

"You mean?" Here Jia Lian has already talked about his thoughts with Xu Cheng, and Xu Cheng is also very interested.

Jia Lian nodded, "That's what it means. My brother's second uncle has been in Fujian for a long time. No one knows better than me what kind of benefits there are. Compared with Fujian, Guangzhou is more But there are many benefits."

Xu Cheng was moved. For him, Zhang Che had always been his goal. He got promoted and made a fortune at the same time. He hadn't done anything too much. No matter how he looked at it, he was a role model to learn from.

"It's just that I'm new to Guangzhou Mansion, so I'm afraid there are many things..." Xu Cheng has not yet been dazzled by money, and he still has the caution he should have.

Jia Lian naturally nodded repeatedly. His uncle is still in Fujian, and earning money is not a problem at all. What he said now is just to let Xu Cheng have an idea of ​​how many Westerners there are in Guangzhou. After he understands it thoroughly, when he understands it clearly, what he can think of is definitely more than just earning money.

For Xu Cheng's words, Jia Lian completely agreed, "It's true, brother, you don't have to think about these things, you have to get a firm foothold first." The most difficult thing for a foreigner is to gain a firm foothold.

Xu Cheng understood Jia Lian's meaning as soon as he heard it, nodded and replied, "Don't worry about this."

Jia Lian used a little careful thought. Xu Cheng is a motivated person, and Guangzhou is the closest place to Nanyang. It is not only the tax collected by Westerners doing business there every year. Taking this opportunity, if the emperor Knowing what a huge land Nanyang is, we can also come to colonize it.

It's just that now, it's all just thinking about it, things always have to be done step by step, like these things, unless you want to be a hero and sacrifice, otherwise, you can only rely on the emperor to figure it out, not his Jia Lian's point Blood can do it.The Six Gentlemen of [-] shed blood for the revolution, but what was the result?Should the Qing government act according to its own ideas or do it according to its own ideas? Their bloodshed may have a little meaning to the people, but to the government, it is completely in vain.

Jia Lian never had the idea of ​​being a revolutionary martyr in his life. He was afraid of death, pain, and blood. At most, he made some changes within the scope of his control. Even if blood needs to be shed, it's not his turn. Of course, he will stop his relatives and friends from going to die.

The author has something to say: Our second master definitely doesn't have any lofty qualities, he is just a small person, hehehe, don't dislike it!
