Chapter Ninety-Six: Giving Respect (Fourth Update, Asking for Recommendation Votes)
"If it is in peacetime, even if you become the first assistant of the cabinet, you will not be able to make me bet on my net worth, at most I will only invest some, and I can't be an outsider. Jia Qi looked at his eyes: "I am very satisfied with my current life, I have no worries about food and clothing, my family has a lot of money, and the whole family is happy and healthy." ”
Ning Caichen said calmly: "But, this is almost over, isn't it? The Ming Empire is in the twilight of the Western Mountains, uprisings are brewing in various places, the Qing Kingdom and Mongolia are eyeing each other, if you want to maintain your happy life, you must first gain status in this great world battle." ”
Jia Qi chuckled: "That's right. If it were just me, I would have packed up the silk and satin, jewelry and money now, and left the Ming Dynasty, went overseas, went to other countries, in short, would not stay in this mud. But now I have a family that can't leave my homeland, so I have to stay. The battle of the world is about to begin, and I have the money and wisdom to sell it when I am waiting for the price. Lord Ning, you are now building a team, and the opposition forces led by the Dong family are fierce, and they want to chase them away. In the future, there will be a new prefect who doesn't know whether it will be good or bad, and I don't know which side it will be on...... So, not only can I not bet now, I can't even invest. ”
Speaking of this, Ning Caichen has nothing to say. The three-product imperial envoy can control a government in the war, but people don't care. The alliance with the Luo family is correspondingly hostile to the Dong family, which can't make the other party have the idea of betting;
"When the troubled times begin, when I defeat the Dong family, defeat the new prefect, and master Jinhua, what will you do?" Ning Caichen stood up and asked seriously.
Jia Qian restrained his smile and looked serious: "For the sake of the Jia family, for the sake of glory, I should be a minister." This statement is not for you, but for the controller of Jinhua's future. ”
Ning Caichen nodded, bowed, and turned out of the living room.
"Sir, wouldn't it be nice to say it so bluntly?" asked worriedly, when his figure disappeared completely, and a plump woman stepped out from behind the screen.
Jia Qi grabbed the woman, put his hands up and down, and looked at the other party's peach-like cheeks: "From a scholar to the current third-grade official, this person is very powerful. In order to live longer and better, you can't be perfunctory or tactful when dealing with powerful people, so as not to make the other party misunderstand. ”
"Do you think he can rip the ground?" the woman was panting and sweating.
Jia Yi smiled and said: "This can't be judged by wisdom, you can only rely on luck, or rather, luck." If the new prefect is not difficult and there are no changes in the Dong family, maybe he can do this. Okay, leave him alone, let this group of tigers fight, go to fight, we will always be on the side of the victor. It can be the icing on the cake, and it will never be a charcoal in the snow. ”
"In this way, you are not afraid that the victor will be prejudiced against you after taking control of Jinhua?" Jia Yan didn't let go, but the woman's heart was even more curious.
"My silly lady. Jia Qi said helplessly: "As long as your husband has the ability to gain an irreplaceable position in the victor's camp, no prejudice will appear." For a talented person, personal preference is far less than a need. ”
"The human heart is so complicated that it's tiring to listen to. The woman shook her head coquettishly and said, "Don't think about it, anyway, the sky is falling, and the old man is holding it up." ”
Jia Yi smiled, picked up the woman, and walked to the side room: "That's right, you just need to think about how to serve the good master." ”
"Master, it's not good to ...... silver during the day," the woman had just said a word, and after a moment it was replaced by a coquettish/gasp.
"Lord, how is it?" Ning Caichen walked out of the gate of Jia's house, and Ning Yi hurriedly greeted him and asked with concern.
Ning Caichen shook his head: "The old fox is relieved, it is useless to say anything, only to use his strength to conquer the other party." ”
"It's a pity that Ning Yi is too stupid to worry about the main centimeter. The young courtier blamed himself and said.
"Your loyalty is your greatest talent. Ning Caichen smiled at him and walked into the carriage.
"Childe, a man named He Yun, came to the mansion with eight men, saying that he wanted to see you. The carriage came to Ningfu, and as soon as Ning Caichen landed, the maid Zhang Rong came over.
Ning Caichen paused, and a hint of joy appeared on his face: "Take me to meet them." I was busy all day and didn't have time to visit them, but I didn't expect them to come over today. ”
In the living room, eight visitors sat uncomfortably, their eyes constantly scanning the door. The honest-looking young man couldn't help but ask the only calm leader, "Head, you say, will Lord Ning receive us?"
He Yun's face was calm, and his heart was also very nervous: "With the friendship in the past, you should receive us, right?" You remember, this is our only chance to get ahead." If you think about the current situation of life in the past, you should know how important it is to us today, and we must firmly grasp the opportunity!"
The eight nodded vigorously. They don't want to live that precarious life anymore, they want to live with dignity, at least, not to die because of other people's casual words. This wish may seem simple, but it is not easy to achieve. They didn't have this ability themselves, so they came here.
Just as they clenched their fists and made up their minds, a cheerful footstep came, and the familiar voice sounded in their ears: "Long time no see." ”
Strictly speaking, there are not even a few days, but for Ning Caichen, who is very busy, the scenes in Baoshen County seem to have happened a long time ago.
"Meet your lordship. Nine stood up and fell to their knees.
Ning Caichen's footsteps paused slightly, and the smile on his face narrowed slightly: "Why is this so?"
He Yun raised his head and said seriously: "Our life is not good, we have no talents, no resources, and we still have nothing to do until now just by relying on our enthusiasm. If a scoundrel dares to bully us, a petty official can take our lives. We are in awe of fate, but we don't want to follow such a trajectory and live in such a humble way for the rest of our lives. We want to change, but we don't have a direction, not even a concrete method. Meeting adults is our luck, a higher level of existence than luck, this is the only opportunity we can seize, so we have come here. ”
Ning Caichen fell silent. He has a human emperor pen, and he has a better life and stronger luck than the vast majority of people in this world. But even if he lives, he is still trembling. Finally, some families, some families, and everything may be wantonly destroyed and plundered.
This is the battle of the world, if you don't rob others, others will rob you, because the resources are those, but there are too many people.
Even he has lived so hard, how much pain should these people with a bad life have in their hearts?
"What can you do for me, or rather, are you willing to give me in exchange for the opportunity I give you?" Ning Caichen bowed his head and asked the nine burly men seriously.
There is no soft-heartedness, and there is no hard-heartedness, just a sincere inquiry. This is the respect he gives to these nine people, not to give anything, let them choose their own lives.
[PS: What He Yun said is what I think in my heart. So, I'm He Yun, are you book friends willing to be Ning Caichen?
I would like to ask for a recommendation with four more efforts, thank you. 】
