Chapter 249 The B-character volume stirs up waves with one stone (fourth update, please vote!)

Jia Lian disagreed.

 How could it be as simple as dad thought?

 Do you really think you can make so much money by hosting a celebration banquet for being a successful candidate?

That’s also a point!

In Jia Lian's opinion, if the Feng family really took this opportunity to make a hundred thousand taels of silver, then this status as a civil servant would be worth at most 10,000 taels, and Feng Tang's status as a chief military officer and his noble background could be worth 30,000 taels. , the remaining 60,000 taels are probably all for Feng Ziying himself.

 Of course there is also Wang Ziteng’s face involved in this.

 Why come to Feng Ziying himself?

In addition to the identity of the judge, it is more because behind Feng Ziying, the judge, there is Qi Yongtai, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Qiao Yingjia, the right deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

Of course, without this Juren status, Feng Ziying would not be so popular even if he had the relationship between Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia. But with this Juren status, it means that he can go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to make candidates for office at any time, and he can be removed from office at any time. , that would be different!

If he dares to pass the Jinshi exam next spring, his weight will be even more extraordinary. He has an industry teacher named Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. How can he still worry about not having an official position?

Having a benefactor who is the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is he still afraid of offending others? Are you afraid of who dares to impeach him?

The more important thing is that both Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia are still in their prime, and their future prospects are unlimited. Even if they serve as ministers of the six departments and censors of Zuodu, they are very likely to join the cabinet and become prime ministers.

 With these two backers, Dalang Feng's future is limitless.

In this case, who wouldn’t want to take the lead in paving the way for this relationship?

If a few thousand taels of silver can buy the friendship of a young civil servant who is likely to be in the six ministries and hold important positions in the future, wouldn't it be worth it?

Having been in contact with Feng Ziying for so long, Jia Lian has paid more and more attention to the friendship with Feng Ziying. In his opinion, this is probably the most important relationship he has in his twenties.

During the contact, he also felt more and more that Feng Ziying was deep and sophisticated, not like a teenage boy at all. Although he was several years older than him, compared with him, he was not on the same level in all aspects. This was something he He was also in a state of admiration.

Jia Lian feels that his greatest advantage is that he is self-aware. He still knows what kind of material he is and how much he can do.

If it works, that's fine. If it doesn't work, just bring it up with Feng Ziying directly. He doesn't think there's anything embarrassing about it. They are all people who passed the imperial examination and will be admitted to the imperial examination and become officials in the future. Why should he compare with others?

"Father, I'm afraid it's not that simple." Jia Lian expressed his disagreement tactfully, "Do you think that if Baoyu is admitted to the Juren Examination, the Niu family will give six thousand taels of silver? Then Jingtian Marquis will give a painting worth two or three thousand taels of silver?" impossible?"

Jia She came back to his senses and stared at Jia Lian suspiciously, "Yes, then why do you think these people are willing to give money to the Feng family?"

Mrs. Xing also echoed: "Yes, this is thousands of taels of silver. If you exchange it for Baoyu, you might not have even half of it, right?"

"Sir, that's because there is Qingtan Academy behind the Feng family's eldest son. Qiu Wei of Shuntian Prefecture has passed the examination for more than ten people at once, and Chun Wei has to have seven or eight Jinshi. These are the eldest sons of the Feng family. The same year as Lang, and now Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is their original master. Why do you think this is? As long as people pass the Jinshi examination, they will definitely find a good place. They can find a county magistrate in the south of the Yangtze River. In a few years, If you don’t make thirty to fifty thousand silver? Maybe you can be promoted to an official position, and if you become a prefect, you won’t make one hundred and eighty thousand?"

Jia Lian's words made him salivate: "Even if he doesn't make any money himself, there are so many people in the same age. Even if relatives and friends want to make a living, just say hello, how can they not give face and give a favor?"

These words made sense and made sense, and Jia She's eyes glowed golden when he heard them, as if he had seen the scene of making money, but it's a pity...

"Lian'er, do you think that the Feng family's eldest son really can't marry your sister? Your sister has a child-bearing physique. Several women have said this..." Mrs. Xing couldn't hold back after hearing this. She's not her biological daughter, so she doesn't have much to worry about. "If I can't be a wife, how about becoming a concubine?"

Jia She and Jia Lian's faces darkened. How could this be done? That would be too embarrassing for the Jia family.

Jia Lian shook his head repeatedly. He still wanted this little bit of face. Besides, he was optimistic about the Feng family, but if his sister was to be a concubine for Brother Keng, that wouldn't work. Besides, the Jia family couldn't afford to lose face like this.

Jia She also had a displeased look on his face and glanced at Ms.

"Father, mother, it will be very difficult for these two younger sisters to marry the Feng family. If the Feng family master really passes the imperial examination in Chunwei, it will be even more impossible." Jia Lian simply made it clear.

This matter always held on to a glimmer of hope, which made him feel uncomfortable. Facing Feng Ziying, it was not good to say it, nor was it not good not to say it. Being rejected was shameful, and it made everyone embarrassed.

"Huh, I'm afraid your second sister is not the only one who has this idea in our Rongguo Mansion. There are also people who have the same idea." Ms. Xing couldn't help it anymore.

Seeing that his father's expression did not change, Jia Lian was also surprised, "Father and mother also know?"

"Hmph, is Tan Yatou better than your second sister?" Jia She also had a gloomy face, and he was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the second room, "If your second sister can't do it, can Tan Yatou be able to do it? Look at the person named Zhao. The despicable maid’s whore-like behavior is simply embarrassing the Jia family! What a joke!”

These words were so explicit that even Jia Lian heard them. The old man was becoming more and more dissatisfied with the second room. He probably went to the Feng family's eldest son's celebration banquet today and was even more irritated. It’s a matter of speaking without hesitation.

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't answer, Jia She also knew that what he said was a bit too much in front of the younger generation, so he snorted and stopped talking. Xing glanced at her husband's eyes, then cleared her throat and said, "Lian'er, last year Didn't you go out to make a living? Why is there no movement this year? "

Jia Lian then realized that there was something hidden behind this.

The old lady in my house really keeps an eye on money. Last year, she went to work as a mausoleum builder and earned some money. However, she was controlled by Sister Feng, but the old lady was very stubborn. In the end, I had no choice but to give them more than three thousand taels of silver, so that they could settle down. Otherwise, they would not be able to live well for a year.

Seeing that Brother Keng is busy with the competition between autumn and spring this year, he also told himself that he would wait until next spring to discuss the matter again, and that this year he would take a break.

Jia Lian is also a well-informed and reasonable person. Of course he knows the importance of autumn and spring to Brother Keng, so he never mentioned it again. Unexpectedly, his father and mother could not help it now.

"Master, Madam, I also caught up with the business of repairing tombs last year, so my friend asked me to help. This is also the matchmaking that Brother Keng made. This year, you also know that Brother Keng is too busy. He also told me, After the Spring Festival, I guess you will be able to make a living,..."

“Oh, it was the Feng family that helped you last year?” Jia She didn’t expect that his son and the Feng family had such a close relationship.

Last year, he was overjoyed to have squeezed more than 3,000 taels of silver from his son-in-law, but this year Jia Lian did not go out. Seeing that most of the year had passed, he couldn't make any extra money this year, so Jia She couldn't sit still. .

“Well, it’s just that my son has no capital, so he can only help.” Jia Lian pretended to be sorry.

Jia She and Mr. You two have such a close relationship, I guess the Feng family’s elder brother won’t care about this either.”

Jia Lian smiled bitterly, why are his father and Sister Feng just thinking about it?

The Feng family's election celebration banquet will probably have the greatest impact on the Rongning and Rongning mansions, especially the Rongguo mansion.

Jia She was chattering to Jia Lian in the room, and Jia Zhen couldn't help but be filled with emotion in the room after returning to Ningguo Mansion.

When Qin Keqing got the news, he got it from the two maids Rui Zhuozhu several times, especially when he heard that the princes of Dongping County and Xining County, as well as Zhen Guo Gong, Qi Guo Gong and Xiu Guo Gong were all the heads of the family. After attending the celebration in person, Qin Keqing felt more and more that the key to knowing the secret of his life experience was the eldest son of the Feng family.

It is certainly worthy of celebration that a distinguished son of four princes, eight princes, and twelve marquises has passed the exam, but is this worthy of a second-rank official like Wang Ziteng personally coming forward to help him? Is it worthy for the top figures of the martial arts family, such as Prince Dongping and Duke Zhen, to come and congratulate him in person?

This is obviously unreasonable.

This Feng Ziying must have a special background, and it is definitely not because of his father who is a general military officer in other places. Rumor has it that he is not only highly regarded by the civil servants of the court, but also heard about it by the emperor. And that day he saw His eyes were obviously different, which impressed Qin Keqing too deeply.

It is incredible why this Feng family man knows his own life experience, or even if he does not know it, he must know some secrets, but it is not important. What Qin Keqing is most eager to know now is his true life experience.

She has had enough of this kind of life, and the indescribable gazes and attitudes of Jia Zhenjia Rong and her son also made her feel an indescribable nausea and discomfort, and this feeling was getting stronger and stronger.

 So she was eager to find an opportunity to meet the Feng family man alone. No matter what the result was, she had to ask clearly, otherwise she would not live in peace.

"Grandma wants to see that Uncle Feng?" Seeing the determined expression on her grandma's face, Ruizhu said hesitantly: "But although he is familiar with the uncle, he doesn't come to our house very often."

Even though there is one update, it still counts as four updates. Don’t brothers have monthly tickets?
