"Hehe, uncle, you are really smart, in a word, you have guessed all this little nephew's thoughts."

He Shen said with a smile on his face.

“…………”

Hearing this, Zong Yan rolled his eyes and said, "I'm going to tell you about the right thing, you kid don't slap the horse first." ”

"You took the initiative to send money to the treasury this time, but it caused a lot of dissatisfaction!"

"Even if I used the relationship of the Niu Hulu family, I only barely suppressed part of the backlash!"

“………”

"I had expected this before I did this!"

He Shen replied with a sigh.

“………”

"Since you have expected it a long time ago, you still dare to act like this, you kid's guts, but it's really big..."

"Aren't you afraid of being excluded and isolated by the entire circle of nobles, or even being kicked out of this circle...?"

Meng Yan touched his chin and said with curiosity.

“…………”

"The greater the risk, the greater the benefit, uncle, I think everything is worth it."

"At least my hand can make a very good impression in front of the current Qianlong Emperor!"

“………”

"Alas, young people are in a hurry, but as everyone knows, they can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

When Meng Yan heard this, he sighed even more in his heart.

“…………”

And Heshen, on his side, didn't hide anything, and said his thoughts very frankly.

"Nephew, I don't want to slowly boil my qualifications in the yamen, I don't know how long I have to waste it..."

"I'm also afraid that it will change later..."

“………”

"That's it, that's it, you have some point!"

Looking at He Shen, who was a little disapproving, Meng Yan didn't choose to persuade anything.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, although Meng Yan is very optimistic about He Shen, but he is not He Shen's father, reminding him to this extent, it is enough to be affectionate.

”……“

Soon, Chang Rong and He Shen, the two uncles and nephews, in order to be promoted to Emperor Qianlong, sent a million taels of silver in the name of congratulating his birthday.

This matter has a great impact, not only in the officialdom, but also in the people.

“………”

The movements of many officials in the officialdom are not mentioned for the time being, and the rich people are really talking about this.

The shrewd rich man scolded with a smile 'cunning', and began to wonder if he could follow the trend, maybe he could get a half-job.

If not for anything else, just for their own children and grandchildren, it is also a good deal to have a better future.

At least, you can climb up a level...

In the ancient times of the feudal era, there were sayings of "upper nine streams" and "lower nine streams".

It means that people have three, six, nine, and so on, and their status is different.

In fact, the so-called "three, six, nine, etc." is only a superficial division, and the "upper three" refers to the Shi Nong Dao, that is, officials, farmers, monks...

The six are divided into more details, merchants, pawnshops, housekeepers, craftsmen, Xiangming, Danqing and other professions.

Nine is even more detailed.

The "lower nine streams" are divided into, "masters, yacha, fallen masters, matchmakers, servants, magic sticks, thefts, plays, prostitutes, and so on."

"Upper third-rate" is a highly valued profession among the people...

, and "middle sixth-rate": a group of people who are more than average, and can make people treat it normally, even respectfully.

"Lower ninth" means engaging in occupations that are obviously demeaning and disgusting.

The lower ninth rate, in ancient times in the feudal era, was very undignified, let alone self-esteem or something...

As for those landlord squires who did not have a flexible nose and did not see much enough, they had nothing to say.

Because they don't know what it means!

“……………”

Moreover, Chang Rong and He Shen's uncle and nephew, after all, are people in the noble circle, and they are not something that ordinary people can offend.

Talking too much, that is, it is clear that he does not want his uncle and nephew to have a future, in this era, but he wants to make a mortal enemy.

And now, after all, it is still in the name of the noble general.

Ordinary small families are really unwilling to have a bad relationship with the Hefu and even the entire Niu Hulu family because of such a "thing".

Of course, the forest in the middle of the world is big, and there are all kinds of birds.

“…………”

There are also some people who are jealous in their hearts, and after asking around, they hit the old lady Hua Laojun.

Mrs. Hua's side, after knowing the cause and effect of this incident, was suddenly furious!

This old lady, who is nearly eighty years old, is not angry about this incident and the consequences, but about the deep meaning behind the uncle and nephew joining forces to deceive him.

“………”

This means that the perfect situation she has carefully created, in which the uncle and nephew compete against each other and she commands from it, is completely out of her control.

As soon as she thought of this, Mrs. Hua's heart was filled with panic and uneasiness.

Under the mixture of anger and panic, Mrs. Hua scolded her henchman Gui Lai, and ordered Gui Lai to escort the two unfilial guys over to see her.

When the chief housekeeper Gui Lai saw this, Hua Lao Taijun, who wanted to eat people, heard the sound and left, crawled with him, and left here as if he was fleeing for his life.

“………”

After leaving the Hefu, the chief butler Gui Lai did not follow the instructions of Hua Lao Taijun to find Chang Rong and He Shen...

On the contrary, he was grinding and struggling, going back and forth on the street, but he didn't go to the household department and the etiquette department to find the two masters!

“………”

After working in Hefu for so many years, the big housekeeper Gui Lai knows very well in his heart...

Such an unlucky must be done in reverse, the more anxious Mrs. Hua is, the slower she must be.

“…………”

The two masters are not easy to offend, and the old lady can't be offended, but it is difficult to grasp the balance in between!

If you are not careful, the position of the chief manager on Guilai's body has to fly, because these masters are all uncles who can't afford to offend.

“………”

When the time came to dusk, Gui Lai stopped Chang Rong and He Shen at the entrance of the street where the officials of the Six Ministries must pass.

At this time, the chief butler Gui Lai whispered the news of the old lady's anger, and asked them to go to Jiale Hall together.

“………”

"Big nephew, you said that the old lady was angry like this, what is the next step?"

Chang Rong, who has always flaunted himself in the name of filial piety, was shocked when he heard that his old mother was on fire.

Chang Rong, who was anxious and upset, pulled He Shen and made a noise.

“………”

"Okay, right? Second uncle, you have been pretending for too long, do you really think you are a dutiful son..."
