Zhen Qian's heart was relieved, as long as he didn't accept the will, there was still room for delay in this matter, and as for how long it could be delayed, it would .......

Then Zhen Qian heard Wang Jian say slowly: "The will must be conveyed to me, even if I am not there, the clansmen will take it on my behalf, and the county government will also send someone to convey the news to me, presumably Zhen Lang will soon have someone to inform ...... in Yangzhou."

Zhen Qian felt his head buzzing, he still didn't run away, the county government would send someone to chase him all the way, he had already written on the station to send the Tang envoy to Yangzhou, and there were secret spies monitoring him, his whereabouts were not a secret at all, it seemed that this will would not work if he didn't want to.

Wang Jian had a hint of playfulness in his envious tone, and he had already noticed that Zhen Qian was a little absent-minded, and said mockingly: "Others want to get a knighthood even if they break their heads, how do I think you don't seem to be happy?" ”

Zhen Qian said with a bitter face: "The title of this county man is just that, but this actual official ......, you may not know about me, I usually like to be unrestrained and free, what kind of pro-people official do you want me to be, doesn't this make me a scourge?" Is there any way to shirk not being this official! ”

"You don't want to be an official!" Lu Qing was surprised: "Why does your Zhen family have a tradition of not liking to be officials, I heard that several officials in your Zhen family resigned after a few years, wouldn't it be false that you had amnesia at the beginning!" ”

There are two kinds of people who can be officials and are unwilling to become officials, one is that the official is too young and unwilling, and they are waiting for the opportunity to become an official, and the other wants to devote themselves to studying knowledge, preaching and writing books, and Zhen Qian seems to be neither.

Zhen Qian really doesn't want to be an official, he had the opportunity to take the civil service exam in his previous life, because his family was poor, he embarked on the road of business, and he also didn't have the heart to be an official in this life, not only because of the Anshi Rebellion, but also because it was not easy to be an official.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty are not good, when the official is not for the people, it is better to go home to plant sweet potatoes, after the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, the first choice is to wait for the imperial court to award officials, this is too normal for some three or five years, and the officials are usually county-level adjutants, and the Ming and Qing dynasties directly sat on the county government leader, you need to climb up step by step, it is not easy to be a good official minister.

As soon as he thought of having to face a bunch of complicated and jerky official documents every day, Zhen Qian dispelled his mind about being an official, and he could be a free rich man, with hundreds of acres of land, a quiet deep house compound, a brocade and jade food that came to his mouth every day, and some things he liked in his spare time, and he enjoyed the famous mountains and rivers when he was bored, and did what he wanted to do but did not have the opportunity to do in his previous life.

"You really don't want to be an official!" Wang Jian saw that Zhen Qian's expression didn't want to fake, so he said in disbelief: "Why are you Zhen family like this, everyone else dreams of being an official, but the Zhen family pushes the official outward, it's really not a family that doesn't enter the door!" ”

"What's so good about being an official!" Zhen Qian waved his hand irritably and said, "Wang Lang, Lu Lang, this official really can't shirk?" ”

Wang Jian and Lu Qing glanced at each other and sneered: "Since Zhen Lang doesn't want to be an official, it's not a big deal to return the will!" ”

"Really?"

Zhen Qian is worried that if he provokes the emperor by doing this, the gains outweigh the losses, there are no eggs under the imperial power, the emperor likes to recruit hermits, and he likes to conquer the reputation of hermits, and he brushes his reputation, but it is not to make people anger himself, now Zhen Qian has no reputation, and if it is self-defeating, it will outweigh the losses.

"Zhen Lang is worried that the emperor will be angry?"

Lu Qing laughed, the tears of laughter were left, and he patted the table and said: "Zhen Lang can rest assured, many people who have not been awarded officials after the scientific examination are not willing to accept any officials, and resignation often happens, but they can raise their reputation to seek a better official for themselves, this kind of thing is very sparse and ordinary, besides, we children of the family want to become officials, how can we do without a good official!" ”

Zhen Qian put the hanging heart into his stomach, he didn't even understand the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty now, and jumped into the quagmire in a daze, isn't this looking for death?

Wang Jian and Lu Qing's sister took two cups of tea to return from the bathroom, Wang Yingying sat back in her seat, still looking at Zhen Qian with the dead face that owed 100,000 yuan, disdainful of the snacks and wine brought to him, and snorted coldly: "What do you see, you smell of copper, and you dare to say that you are a talented scribe?" ”

Zhen Qian glanced at Wang Jian, Wang Yingying obviously didn't know what they said just now, and Wang Jian didn't seem to be ready to tell Wang Yingying, and he really couldn't guess what he was thinking in his heart.

Seeing that Wang Jian and Zhen Qian didn't mention the matter of conferring officials, Lu Qing glanced at his sister and said: "Zhen Lang can want to develop in the business field, the Lu family has a little influence in the Fanyang area, how the two families cooperate must be of great help to Zhen Lang's business!" ”

The black line on Wang Jian's face, just now Wang Yingying talked about the smell of copper, but he didn't expect Lu Qing to open his mouth to dismantle the stage, coughed dryly twice and wanted to say something to stop it, and then heard Zhen Qian say: "Can Lu Lang call the shots?" ”

Lu Qing was a little embarrassed and said: "The Lu family is in the north, and they often have dealings with the Hu people, so they are naturally contaminated with some Hu people's habits, as long as it is beneficial to the Lu family, even if I can't make the decision, I can finalize the matter first, and it will definitely not make it difficult for Zhen Lang?" ”

Zhen Qian found that after Lu Qing's words were finished, Wang Yingying's face became colorful, and she gritted her teeth and stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth fiercely.

"It turned out that he looked down on the businessman!"

Zhen Qian somewhat understood why Wang Jian ridiculed himself with words at the beginning, insisted on forcing himself to make a poem, and didn't even tell Wang Yingying about his knighthood, I am afraid that he also had the same psychology as Wang Yingying at the beginning, and then thought that Wang Bo had a large amount of Wang family's industry in his hands, and it was not difficult to understand the Wang family's attitude towards businessmen.

Zhen Qian sighed in his heart, Shinong industry and commerce, business is equivalent to cheap industry at the end, for the family that values reputation, it is understandable that they are unwilling to be contaminated!

I understand Wang Jian and Wang Yingying's thoughts very well, and it has nothing to do with what Zhen Qian does, "Since Lu Lang wants to cooperate with me, what do you think, the Lu family has a big business, and the small Zhen family can't compare!" ”

"Zhen Lang is too modest, I remember my father said that it is rare for the Zhen family to produce a talented talent, especially in business, it is incomparable, if it weren't for my father being caught in everything, I would have thought of Hengzhou for a trip, I didn't expect that I would see Zhen Lang in Yangzhou, so what I said is also what my father meant, I hope that the Lu family can cooperate with Zhen Lang in restaurants and soju, I don't know what Zhen Lang has to say!"

"Restaurant, soju!"

Zhen Qian is not surprised at all, if the Lu family does not focus on restaurants and soju, then there is a problem!
