Chapter 366: Defecting to the Ming Lord
Looking at Lu Xiaobei, who has grown tall and big in the past two years, he was very emotional.
I think this Lu Xiaobei was originally found by him from the troupe. What Lu Xiaobei was like at that time, there is no better than him. But in less than two years, Lu Xiaobei has grown into such a thing, and he can take into account the long-term things. This kind of thing, the pattern is not big enough, there is no furrow in the chest, it is unthinkable. And the reason why Lu Xiaobei can be like this is not only because he is literate, but also because he has been around Du Jinning, seeing a lot, listening a lot, and thinking a lot, so he has grown up so fast.
Thinking of this, he regretted very much that he couldn't follow Du Jinning.
Although he is now in charge of three teahouses and two bookstores, his income is better than that of the big shopkeepers in the Guan Mansion. But it is precisely because of what he has done well that many shopkeepers in the Guan Mansion are jealous of him, and they always make small moves behind his back, wanting to get him down and occupy this position by themselves. If it weren't for Guan Jiaze's relatively small shares in the teahouse and bookstore, and the teahouse and bookstore are now Du Jinning's final say, it is really possible for those people to succeed.
Thinking about the intricate network of relationships in the Guan Mansion, if you want to make some achievements, there are people everywhere who are jealous and stumbling, Zhuang Yue especially hopes that he can be like Lu Xiaobei, Yao Shuqi and others, become Du Jinning's subordinates, and work with Du Jinning.
He felt that he and Du Jinning had a similar temperament, easy to communicate, and Du Jinning's goal was very clear. Following Du Jinning, he felt very energetic, as if he was more than ten years younger. This kind of exhilarating feeling is not something that can be obtained by taking a few more taels of silver or dividends.
Thinking of this, his heart moved, and seeing that there was no one outside, he lowered his voice and said, "Xiaobei, Uncle Zhuang especially hopes to be like your Uncle Yao to go to Young Master Du's side to do things." Do you think it's possible? ”
He wouldn't have said that lightly if he had done so. But Lu Xiaobei is about to become Du Jinning's brother-in-law, and his status is not bad, so it is very suitable for him to pass the word. Moreover, Lu Xiaobei is a righteous person, what ideas he has to tell him, and he thinks that he also regards himself as an elder close to him. So if you have such an idea, you naturally have to discuss with him to see how to do it.
Lu Xiaobei was very surprised, and also lowered his voice and asked, "Uncle Zhuang, are you not going well there?" Why do you want to talk to our young master? ”
Who is the Guan family? The official eunuch family, and now the second master of the Guan family is still a member of the third grade in Beijing. The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, the descendants of the Guan family are almost like this in Lishui County, otherwise why did Liu Ze and Chen Jiaxing have such a bullish face? Outside, as long as they say that they are the subordinates of the Guan family, even those officials in the yamen will look down on them.
Don't let go of such an owner, Zhuang Yue ran over to follow Du Jinning, who had just started and had nothing, in the eyes of others, this person was sick, and he was not lightly ill.
wanted to defect to Du Jinning, Zhuang Yue naturally wanted to tell his thoughts frankly.
"Although the Guan family is good, the relationship is complicated, and if you want to do something, there will always be people who want to stumble on you. I now run a teahouse and a bookstore, and because my business is booming, I am even more jealous. Those people repeatedly wanted to get me down and come here to be the shopkeeper themselves. ”
Speaking of this, Zhuang Yue smiled wryly: "This kind of method of stumbling in the big family, you may not think of it, it is called a despicable and shameless ruthless man." If it weren't for the fact that our young master didn't care about the teahouse and the bookstore, but that Young Master Du had the final say, plus I still have some connections in the house, and I would be careful, it would have been no longer me who was sitting here talking to you today. ”
Lu Xiaobei nodded.
Although he had never been in such a deep mansion compound, he also had two friends who were subordinates of the family. The kind of thing that he doesn't have any ability, but relies on whiskers and flattery to get to the top, he has heard his friends mention it, and it's not too much. Zhuang Yue is now in charge of external affairs, and he doesn't have much intersection with the people in the house, and the industry he manages is so oily and watery, it is strange that he is not seen by people.
"Moreover, I think you also have a deep understanding that people like us who want to do practical things don't care how much money they have, what their status is, and the most important thing is whether they are happy to do things happily. Following Young Master Du, I feel like I have been drinking aged wine for decades, my heart is very happy, and I am also very energetic. As long as you follow Young Master Du closely, you can think about nothing and just stride forward. This is completely different from the situation in the Guanfu that is mired in the quagmire and struggles to take a step. ”
"What's more, I have confidence in Young Master Du. In less than fifteen years, he can also stand at the same height as Master Guan Si and create a large family business. And those of us who followed the young master to expand the territory became the elders and were relied on by the young master. The young master is a benevolent and righteous lord with clear rewards and punishments, and he will not treat us badly. Isn't this better than being ostracized all day long in the Guanfu and being sold at some point? ”
Lu Xiaobei nodded.
He can especially understand Zhuang Yue's mood.
He is now working with Du Jinning, and he is very motivated. He dared to go to the capital to break through, just because he had Du Jinning behind him, no matter whether he succeeded or failed, he believed that Du Jinning would not want him. Because Du Jinning is a very sober-minded person with clear rewards and punishments. As long as he does what he does to open up the market for him, he will give himself a credit.
"But it's not easy for you to do this. You also know that the Guan family is kind to the young master, and the young master can't be infamous for being ungrateful and digging into the corners. "Lu Xiaobei Road.
Having said that, he touched his chin and began to think about how to get Zhuang Yue out of the Guan family and make people blame Du Jinning.
He was originally very flexible, he used to mix in the theater troupe and the city, and he also knew how to use some means to achieve his goals. But the last time I went to the government exam with Du Jinning, I saw that Du Jinning took advantage of a small fulcrum to remove the prefect of one and four products from his official position, his eyes were opened, and his thinking was broadened all of a sudden, and he found that Yin people were not limited to the small means of drugging people to make yin tricks, but also took advantage of the big situation to easily achieve their goals.
"Since I went to the young master, how could I let the young master be infamy? If the young master is willing to ask me, I have thought of all the ways. I plan to do this, this, this, ......" Zhuang Yue whispered his method to Lu Xiaobei.
Lu Xiaobei thought about it and told Zhuang Yue what he thought: "You can still do this, do that, ...... that"
