Chapter 70: Brother Lian asks for an official
What will happen to the Sun family in the end, whether Sun Ziqing will be accepted into the room by the second brother, and the little fat man will not care much.
It's just that Jia Lian looked at the ragged beggar outside the car, and slowly understood his brother's anger when he came.
People say that the salt merchant is extravagant, but he really didn't pay attention to it before, and even envied the countless wealth of the salt merchant, and hated that he had so much gold and silver at home.
After coming out of the extravagant Sun family, compared with the countless old and weak beggars in Jiangdu City, the good thoughts in Jia Lian's heart made it difficult for him to calm down.
After coming to Yangzhou, his uncle Lin Ruhai once asked him what the purpose of wanting to be an official was.
Money? Power? Face?
As the heir of Rongguo Mansion, he really lacks nothing.
No, he is quite short of money, after all, the monthly silver is not enough to support him to spend all day and drink.
But does he really like to spend time drinking?
Jia Lian looked at his younger brother who was holding the gold ingot, the flying fish suit and the Yanling knife on his legs, and remembered the immature words of the little fat man who wanted to kill all the thieves in the world, and suddenly felt a little confused.
Why did I, Jia Lian, become an official?
The brothers were stupid and confused, and on the way back to Yangzhou City from Jiangdu County, the carriage was even more dull.
It wasn't until he got out of the carriage in front of the Lin Mansion that Jia Lian's face regained its former spring breeze.
is still Lin Ruhai's study, Jia Yu and Lin Ruhai listened to Jia Lian's story, and the praise in their eyes was very obvious.
Sure enough, he still has to come out to experience and experience, and Sun Kewang would not have thought that the son-in-law in Beijing would be more difficult to deal with than the people in the officialdom shopping mall.
"The 500,000 taels of silver will be left for the two of you brothers to divide by themselves, and the rest will be sent to the capital."
Lin Ruhai took a few booklets from Jia Lian's hand, opened the box containing gold ingots and silver tickets, took 50,000 taels and handed them to Jia Lian.
Before Jia Lian could move, the little fat man pounced, holding the silver ticket and the pile of gold ingots and drooling.
"Now I have the money to spend......"
"Oops, hey, hey...... Second brother, don't pull the back of my neck! ”
The little fat man felt himself flying, and the silver ticket and gold ingots that he had just touched were getting farther and farther away from him.
Jia Lian carried the back of the little fat man's neck and slipped to his side, shook his head with Lin Ruhai and said: "Let's send them all to the capital, 50,000 taels of silver is not much, but it can also allow the imperial court to save one more disaster victim, make one more cluster of sharp arrows, and the nephew's money is enough." ”
As soon as these words came out, let alone Lin Ruhai, even Jia Yu, who was a father, looked at his eldest son rarely.
Is this my species?
In addition to the wonder of Baoyu in Rongguo Mansion, is there anyone who doesn't love silver?
"Second brother, are you stupid?"
Syllable!
Jia Cong's brain buzzed, and Jia Lian, who withdrew his slap, bowed deeply to his father and uncle Lin Ruhai.
"Please ask my father and uncle to find an official position for me, the grade can not be high, just to be the master of the people, or go into battle to kill the enemy!"
Lin Ruhai nodded, made eye contact with Jia Yu, and then replied: "If you are a leader, you can start as an adjutant in a county, or go to any military attache in the garrison, which one do you choose?" ”
Jia Lian didn't make a choice directly, but asked again: "I also ask my uncle to solve my nephew's doubts, which is easier to get results in this county adjutant or the military attache of the guard?" ”
Lin Ruhai asked rhetorically: "What is Lian'er anxious about?" ”
"My nephew doesn't know, my nephew just feels that he needs to take a high position as soon as possible, so that he can get rid of the people and things that stain his nephew's eyes."
Jia Lian truthfully said what he thought in his heart, and felt that after saying this sentence, the depression in his heart dissipated a lot.
Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Yu and wanted to ask Jia Yu's opinion, but saw Jia Yu and said: "It's better for Lian'er to be in Jiangnan for the time being, there are too many restrictions in Beijing." ”
"Then go and prepare for the guards, the palace issued an order a few days ago that the commander-in-chief of the Qin Dispatch will be sent to lead the matter of Jiangnan Pingwei. This person is my fellow soldier Wen Lian, and when the time comes, let Lian'er recommend me to go to Qincha Xingyuan, thinking that the Wen Brotherhood will be willing to have martial arts to help Ping Wei. ”
Lin Ruhai's friends in the same year did not know how many, and Wen Lian, as a messenger to the south, had already written to Lin Ruhai for help.
One is money, and the other is people.
You must know that Daxia has been peaceful for a long time, and the old soldiers in Beijing have long lost their blood, relying on the thousands of forbidden troops led by him, they can't say whether they can be peaceful, but when he loses his temper, he really can't handle it as a civil servant.
If there is a founding martial artist like Rongguofu, it will be different. The first Rongguo has been the general leader of the Beijing camp for nearly 30 years, and those uncles in the Beijing camp, who dares not to give face to the Rongguo Mansion?
After Jia Yu nodded, Jia Lian immediately thanked him: "My nephew thanks my uncle, I will be loyal to my duty, help Wen Shuai pacify the widows as soon as possible, and not embarrass my uncle!" ”
……
Jia Lian's transformation did not happen overnight, at night when the two brothers fell asleep, the little fat man once asked his second brother why he didn't even want silver.
At that time, Jia Lian said this: Gold and silver are good, and drunken beauties are also very good, but he can't live like this for the rest of his life. The gentlemen of Rongguo Mansion, even if they can't enjoy the Taimiao like their ancestors, they have to leave a good story to live up to the blood flowing in their bodies and be worthy of the silver they receive from the household every year.
And Jia Cong at that time responded like this: Second brother, it's too fake, this is not like what you said!
After being slapped in the head, Jia Lian spoke again.
"Actually, I don't know why I want to be an official or a big official, but I saw that the Sun family was extravagant by oppressing the people, but outside the wall were begging for food, and they were being oppressed by vicious dogs, so I wanted to demolish the Sun family without too many scruples......"
Pingwu Qincha will arrive in Jiangnan at the beginning of winter, and there is still a month to go, and Jia Yu will start cramming to train Jia Lian while helping Lin Ruhai deal with the Yangzhou matter.
On the contrary, after saying goodbye to everyone, Jia Cong was escorted by a hundred Yu Lin Lang to Jinling Zhen's house to express his condolences.
A group of people out of Yangzhou City to take a boat south, along the canal into the Yangtze River to the west, just one day and one night, arrived at Yingtianfu on the second day of October, docked at Jinling Wharf after noon.
As soon as I got off the boat, a young man in brocade clothes came up to me on the dock.
"Brother Cong, why did you come here? I've been waiting for you for days! ”
This person is none other than he met Xue Pan when he was in Huai'an Mansion. After arriving in Yangzhou, the Xue family just went to the Lin family to pay a visit to Lin Ruhai, and after sending a few rare medicinal materials, they hurried back to Jinling to deal with family affairs.
After Mrs. Xue received Jia Lian's letter, she kept asking people to stay at Jinling Wharf to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.
And Xue Pan slipped to the dock every once in a while, thinking that after Jia Cong arrived, he could take his newly recognized good brother to swagger through the market, and it was best to be arrogant in front of his fox friends and dog friends.
After all, the flying fish suit is too eye-catching, if he can take Jia Cong in a flying fish suit to the Qinhuai River, what sour words do you need to write? Those beauties are still not allowed to take the initiative to send them to their arms?
