 Chapter 51 A-character Cat Playing Lolita

It's a pity that I am too young. No matter how "precocious" I am, it is difficult to exceed this age limit in the officialdom.

However, in general, the Zhou Dynasty was more relaxed in terms of age for scholars, especially those who could pass the imperial examination.

Well, as long as you win the election, you are basically guaranteed to have no worries about getting into the official position. Of course, the quality of the position is another matter.

If you pass the Jinshi exam, the worst is equivalent to graduating from the Central Party School's training class for young cadres, and you can live in a state capital, which is very respectable.

To be an official in the Zhou Dynasty, it is definitely impossible to have no ability, but ability alone is not enough. If you have a background, it is best to be financially secure, then you can be invincible, but all of this depends on you. effort.

 For Feng Ziying, he needs to start planning now, as he is far from sufficient in several aspects.

Background: I can be considered a second-generation official, but the military attachés of the Zhou Dynasty are not popular. The civil servants despise you, the Yushi Yanguan is staring at you, and the royal guards can torment you at any time. My father can't even be reinstated as a chief military officer. Before the plan is successful, the lingering shadow of the ancestors is slowly disappearing. If this continues, there will be no change, and my generation will probably live in ruins.

Ability, it all depends on your ability. If you don’t want to pass the scientific examination, it can be said that it is difficult for you to truly enter the political power center of the Zhou Dynasty no matter what. This situation cannot be changed by one person for a long time. Feng Ziying feels that she also cannot.

 If you can’t, then you have to adapt.

The Feng family has no worries about the economy. Now it seems that the Feng family is doing well, but serving as an official in Beijing consumes a lot of money. How come the Jia family cannot make ends meet and eventually falls down from the altar?

The children in the family have no talents, and it is difficult to support the two huge governments politically. Economically, they are not making a good living. There are thousands of people in the two governments and the entire government. Who can afford it?

If you can’t afford it, you can only resort to crooked tricks. Jia She makes friends with border towns to do business, Wang Xifeng makes loan sharks and even interferes in the judiciary through lobbying for money. Aren’t they all the fault of having no money?

Maybe there are other reasons such as standing in the wrong team, committing suicide, etc., but Feng Ziying feels that those are secondary. Even without these factors, if you can't achieve the two most important things, you can only slowly decline. Go down.

This incident has actually shown how weak he is. If the whole big game of chess had not been used to impress Qiao Yingjia under the guise of Lin Ruhai's son-in-law, which was the chess eye, then everything would have been empty talk.

Taken in modern terms, if you want to do big things, or live well, and keep your family safe, you must first have the ability. Well, for example, top three Jinshi is the foundation, and then you can get other positions.

 Secondly, you need a network background. In addition to the family itself, you also need to run your own business. These days, network background is really productivity, which can be transformed into political resources and make you like a fish in water.

Secondly, to put it in fashionable terms, you have to achieve financial freedom. Well, many people may ignore this. Isn’t it normal to accept various tributes in this era? uncertain.

That has to be seen, scored, judged by people, judged by things, and even divided by time.

  If you have rich financial resources, you can at least avoid some high-risk injuries to a large extent.

 There are some interests that you can deal with calmly and with ease, instead of worrying about gains and losses like some people do.

Feng Ziying felt that she needed to think carefully, especially about her next plan, and she could no longer be as confused as before.

 To himself, it seems that there is still plenty of time, but if you don’t worry about the long-term, you will have to worry about the near future. This was his motto as an official in his previous life. Preparing for a rainy day is the prerequisite for promotion.

 Then let’s start from now.

While Feng Ziying was meditating alone, the arrogant Zuo Liangyu was showing off the thrilling stories of this industry with great pride.

"Brother Feng and I swam out... and the people from the Liang Gang blocked us outside the Dongshui Gate. The crossbow arrows almost came over us. If we hadn't reacted quickly, we might have been shot on the spot. kill,…"

“..., I don’t know what Brother Feng did. I only know that Brother Feng went to Mr. Chen, and later went to the Governor’s Yamen with me..."

Zuo Liangyu couldn't explain exactly how Feng Ziying carried out the process of lobbying General Li Cao. He only knew where he went with Feng Ziying and what he did. How did the Chief Military Officer take command and guard hundreds of households? How could he enter the city with him? He didn't know anything about the most critical joint.

Zuo Liangyu can't explain clearly what interests Jia Yucun, Xue Jun and even Feng You the most, but it is undoubtedly Feng Ziying's contribution to this matter. This ability alone is enough to make people look at him with suspicion. .

After a group of people rested in Feng Mansion for a night, Jia Yucun and the others were finally leaving for the north, while Xue Jun planned to stay for a while to observe.

Linqing City experienced this turmoil. Fortunately, the cavalry arrived quickly. However, even so, the entire Linqing City business was severely damaged and could not recover for a year and a half. In particular, many street shops were burned down and a considerable amount of goods were destroyed. It was completely looted, and the impact of popularity was even more fatal.

Feng Ziying also wants to leave Linqing and return to the capital as soon as possible, but there are still many things here, and he must stay here to solve them.

For example, Wang Chaozuo’s final outcome, Zuo Liangyu’s arrangements, and other things.

"Then I wish Mr. Jia and the Lin family sisters a safe journey. When they return to the capital, I will pay a visit to Mr. She and Mr. Zheng." Feng Ziying is really not used to the behavior of a twelve-year-old boy. It was a little difficult to regain the mentality of a man in his forties, but he still tried his best to adapt to it again.

"You said you would come to my uncle's house?" The little girl's cold eyes were filled with reluctance.

After all, these two days of "sharing weal and woe" were too exciting for the little girl who had never been out. Naturally, Feng Ziying would not show off what she had done during these two days, but Zuo Liangyu could not bear it. The exaggerated and vivid description undoubtedly made Lin Daiyu, who had few contacts with peers, especially a boy of the opposite sex, feel a little more closeness and admiration for Feng Ziying than Yourong Yan.

Of course, the thing that brings Lin Daiyu and Feng Ziying closer together is undoubtedly the lion cat in the girl’s arms.

This is a Linqing lion cat that Feng Ziying managed to get for Lin Daiyu.

This cat is all white, lazy and timid, with one blue and one yellow eye that is particularly charming. Feng Ziying feels that it seems to be a bit in line with Lin Daiyu's temperament.

Seeing the girl who couldn't put it down, holding the kitten and petting it at any time, Feng Ziying always thought of some two-dimensional animation scenes for no reason. They were really beautiful.

No child likes to be alone since childhood. As the only daughter of the Salt Patrol Censor, Lin Daiyu is also lonely in Yangzhou. She has no brothers and sisters. The Lin family is a single generation, and she is far away from her mother's family and has little contact with her. In addition, her mother After her death, Lin Daiyu had been depressed.

This is why Jia Yucun took her ashore and wanted to buy a Linqing lion cat as a plaything to make Lin Daiyu happy. He really saw Lin Daiyu being lonely and bored, and felt a little pity for her.

Jia Yucun and Xue Jun naturally don't care too much about this, but for people of Ruixiang and Lin Daiyu's age, a peer who is only a few years older than themselves can have such a brilliant and dazzling performance, that "birth and death", And "deep into the tiger's den", that is the wonderful story that they care about most.

Feng Ziying has been in contact with Lin Daiyu a lot in the past two days, but I don't think there is anything special about this girl. She is smart, sensitive, and sharp-tongued, like a hedgehog. If something goes wrong, she will put up her thorns to protect herself. As for being delicate and sick, Xi Shi, you can't tell it now, but it is true that her body is a little thin.

Seeing such a character prototype that has been passed down for hundreds of years, I still feel a little bit dislocated and a little bit unbelievable. The only possible explanation is that the other person is too young now, and maybe in three to five years, he will be marinated in Jia's house. The place where the sting was was slowly getting out of the mud and became unstained.

"Of course I will go. Our Feng family and your uncle's family are family friends. Well, my father and your uncles are also familiar with each other. Logically speaking, I should visit you at home every year and festival, but I have always been in Datong. , I just returned to Beijing to study this year, and I don’t have much time in the past few months, so I go less often." Feng Ziying explained patiently with a gentle smile.

"Then we have decided that you must come." Lin Daiyu turned her head away sadly, "I don't have any friends or familiar people in Beijing..."

  Lin Luoli asks for votes!
