When Zhang Xianling heard this, his heart was as happy as eating watermelon on a dog day.

He glanced at Zhang Shuxian appreciatively, and then swept his disdainful eyes over the eldest sister of the Zhang family and Zhang Lina who were hugging each other.

is worthy of being his good daughter, and it all goes to his heart.

What's going on with those two girls? Think you can blackmail him with those little tricks?

Think what he did was trying to harm the Zhang family?

It's really narrow-minded, too, growing up on a broken island in a small subordinate country, no matter how smart you are, what insight can you have?

Besides, they weren't that smart, far worse than his daughters.

Zhang Xianling stroked his beard, proud in his heart.

Uncle Zhang's heart was like eating Coptis chinensis, and he looked at Zhang Lina and the eldest sister of the Zhang family with a cold face: "Cry, do you still have the face to cry?" If you don't make it, you will be embarrassed to go out less in the future! ”

"And you, don't you educate your sisters well, thinking that protecting her is good for her? Go home and reflect on me! ”

After that, he said to Zhang Xianling: "I'll go back and teach the juniors, so I won't bother." ”

Left with the family depressed.

Zhang Shuxian understands that this group of people will not be unlucky with her in a short time, and she is quite satisfied.

Zhang Xianling sat down and took a sip of tea, a little uneasy: "Shuxian, you said that the emperor would die recently...... Is it true? ”

Zhang Xianling poked his head out, his tone cautious and eager.

Zhang Shuxian hurriedly comforted: "Dad, of course it's true." The Buddha has sent me a message, saying that we have not been very peaceful here recently, and he wants me to persuade you to resign from your official position and take refuge abroad. ”

"How's that going to work? Isn't that a surrender to the enemy! Zhang Xian Ling waved his hand when he heard it.

"Dad, I know you are loyal and patriotic. But everything still has to be based on your own life, you offered ginseng to the emperor before, who knows if you will be framed and blame the emperor's death on you. We are far away from the emperor, and we have no power or power, so we can't explain it, so we can only wait for others to dump the pot on us. If you don't resign and don't leave, aren't you waiting for death? ”

Zhang Xianling was very panicked, but he didn't want to think about the consequences of what Zhang Shuxian said. Junshi is only one step away from being admitted to the Jinshi, and his official position has been patrolled, and he can't leave all the achievements of a lifetime of struggle.

"You make me think again."

You can't be so unlucky, and everything bad will happen to him.

"Shuxian, what else did the Buddha say, you can say it all, let me be prepared."

"Dad, apart from these two major events, the Buddha really didn't say anything else. I still think you should resign immediately, although you are a patrol, you have no real power. On the contrary, with this false position, the officials of the entire Taiping Mansion will have to treat you as a thorn in the flesh.

Our Taiping Mansion is heavily taxed and there are many bandits, if the central government asks you about the situation on a whim, what do you say? Even if you don't talk about this, you also know the situation in other prefectures, and every once in a while, there are people who rebel because they can't survive. In the past, you were a county magistrate, and it was not your turn to take care of this matter, but now it is different, the central government asks the prefect, does the prefect want to ask you about the crime? The greater the official position, the greater the risk, and I advise you to resign as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Xianling shook his head: "No, you let me think again." ”

I thought about it for three months.

Suddenly news came from the capital that the emperor wanted to reform and abolish the imperial examination.

A bolt from the blue!

Zhang Xianling and Zhang Junshi are going to be stupid.

The next day, Uncle Zhang came to the door with a group of sons and grandsons beamingly, saying that the emperor recruited talents without restrictions on background or knowledge, and that several of his sons and grandsons had gone to university abroad.

So they had to bring their families into Beijing.

It is said that as soon as the emperor's decree came out, the rich businessmen from overseas must have gathered to respond, and he had contacts with the rich businessmen of several small nearby countries, and it was safer for everyone to take care of each other when they arrived in the capital.

Ask Zhang if he wants to go.

Zhang Xian Lingqi's face turned pale, how could he not know that Uncle Zhang's purpose was to see that his family had lost the step to enter the body, and they came to see him laugh.

Uncle Zhang also said with a smile: "I heard that the person who presided over the reform in the capital is very good at talents, especially those who have studied abroad. My sons and grandchildren just have a place to play, although I am overseas, but my heart is for the motherland, and now I have the opportunity to serve the country, how can I not go? ”

Zhang Xianling reluctantly said: "I won't go, there are many things in the official office, and I can't do without it." ”

"Originally, I didn't want to go, as soon as I get old, I pay attention to the fallen leaves and return to my roots, but isn't this for the sake of the child's future? Haha, virtuous nephew, it would be a pity if your family didn't go, alas, when we got there, our Zhang family was lonely and had no one to support us, so we had to marry my granddaughters to promising young people who returned from abroad, which can be regarded as a strong alliance. ”

After Uncle Zhang took the people away, Zhang Xianling was so angry that he dropped a set of tea sets.

Zhang Shuxian persuaded: "Dad, don't be angry. The country is now in turmoil, and if Uncle Zhang's family can really contribute, it will be a blessing for the people. You can also do a little more steady. ”

"Whew! A group of things with no eyesight, thinking that if you go to the capital, you can soar and press me? Now the situation is unknown, there is still the queen mother above the emperor, I think this change will not change! ”

Zhang Shuxian sighed: "Regardless of whether the change can be successful or not, it is not a good thing for you to continue to be an official." Dad, who did they offend again, and if they committed something in the capital, we have to be implicated. The most important thing now is my brother, he drinks every day these days, and he doesn't come home until late, you can persuade him. ”

Speaking of Zhang Junshi, Zhang County's face was full of sadness: "Bad luck, creation makes people!" He doesn't want to be sober now, or he won't be able to get over it. Don't persuade him, give him a little time. Junshi is not a cowardly person, give him a little time, let him pass the hurdle in his heart, and let him recognize the reality, and he will be able to cheer up. ”

Not only does Zhang Junshi need time alone, but Zhang County also needs it.

He privately thinks that the new law is good, but once the new law is successful, how can there be a way for those of them to live in this world, and the official positions are occupied by those who can only meet the horse.

Moreover, Zhang Xianling felt that in recent years, natural disasters have occurred frequently, and there have been many rebellions among the people.

The group of people in Uncle Zhang's family, the son is half of the alien blood, short and dark, and the grandson is cowardly and stupid.

Besides, there are no officials to the ancestors of the Zhang family, how to get in touch with high-ranking officials.

If you want to be an official after returning from studying abroad, you have to pay attention to your background, otherwise if you are also from the imperial examination, some people will be able to rise to the top, and some people will be stagnant for the rest of their lives.

In addition to talent, background is also very important.

What can a merchant's house be good about.

Although he said that, Zhang Xianling's heart was still very sour, how could he call the second uncle's family lucky?

Zhang Jun really drinks a lot outside, so he knows some fox friends and dog friends.

Those people deliberately brought Zhang Junshi to a bad place, if Zhang Shuxian hadn't been vigilant, Zhang Junshi would have been taken to become addicted to smoking.
