Chapter 179: Glory and wealth

Although Xu Chang's house in the capital is not big, its geographical location is excellent. It is located in the inner city and the place is quite spacious. There are seven or eight rooms available for two-entry houses.

In addition, the house also hired cooks, children, and maids. Although they were not as wealthy as those rich and powerful families, they were considered wealthy.

This house was rented by Xu Chang. Xu Qian's house has been cleaned up. In the east wing of the backyard, Xu Chang was careful in this regard. He also prepared a lot of pens, ink, paper and inkstones. In addition, he also vacated a study room for Xu Qian.

The study room was filled with bookshelf, and there were a wide variety of books.

Xu Qian couldn't help but feel ashamed and said to the old man: "Dad, where did these books come from?"

Xu Chang smiled and said, "A few days ago, I copied a house and I asked someone to take it out. How about it, the clerks from the Department of Experience said that there are many treasures here, in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, there are also

There are many lonely books, but they are all books, so I think you want to read them, and they are still useful in the end."

Xu Qian, for a semi-illiterate man, it seems that he doesn't understand the difference between textbooks and pornographic books. If he gets a few private collections, it would be interesting.

Xu Qian was satisfied with everything in the capital, and five or six cousins ​​of the Xu family also lived here.

In the study, Xu Chang closed the door and lit the candle. The father and son finally had the opportunity to have a long talk when they closed the door.

Xu Chang first asked Xu Qian, saying, "Why didn't that boy Deng Jian come to Beijing? His father is planning to find an errand for him. Why? He is planning to work with Eunuch Wang for the rest of his life?"

Xu Qian talked about Deng Jian's story, Xu Chang was silent for a moment, and then said, "It's good that this is the case. Wealth and honor are in danger, and it is unreliable to rely on others."

Xu Qian felt that this sentence was like a hint from the old man to himself. What does it mean to rely on others and not be reliable? It’s all up to you to buy a house and marry a wife.

Xu Chang looked at Xu Qian's expression, as if he had guessed Xu Qian's thoughts, frowned and said, "Dad is now in the Jinyiwei, and he looks quite glorious, but he is not as good as others think. Dad is promoted too quickly.

, and without qualifications, it will inevitably make people jealous." Xu Chang sneered and said, "But you don't have to be afraid. Dad has been struggling and has never seen any kind of open and hidden arrows. But you..."

Xu Chang said solemnly: "Although you know Yuan now, you have many enemies, and some things..." He paused for a moment, and suddenly changed his mind: "What are your plans when you arrive in the capital this time?"

Xu Qian smiled and said, "Of course I'm waiting for next year's exam, and I'll read here first, walk around and see more."

Xu Chang sneered, "It's just thinking about playing, something that has no future!" After cursing, he felt a little too much, so he sighed and said, "You scholars have a saying that trees want to be quiet but the wind does not stop, yours

A person who is solely a fame, what's the use of being a fame? You have to have a backstage to succeed!"

Xu Qian smiled and said, "Isn't Dad my backstage?"

Xu Chang's face turned red with anger: "These are two different things. I'll tell you the truth..." He was about to continue talking, but the voices of Xu Han and Xu Yong came from outside: "See you

Too adults…”

When Xu Chang heard this, he shook his head and said, "Here, I'm really here. Let's go and welcome Lord Lu."

Xu Qian was confused. It turned out that the old man had known that someone would come, so he didn't reminisce about his past with him when he got home, so he made a special trip to be a lobbyist.

He had no choice but to stand up and take Xu Qian out of the study. He saw that an old man in a flying fish suit had arrived in the courtyard. Xu Han and Xu Yong were both worshipping the old man, and the old man just looked at him.

They nodded and casually set their eyes on Xu Chang. Xu Chang smiled and hurriedly said, "Chief Lu, be humble and polite."

Lu Qianshi just smiled, raised his hand and said, "Xu Baihu is his family, so there is no need to be too polite. Is this a virtuous nephew?" His eyes quickly fell on Xu Qian.

Xu Qian stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Hello Uncle Lu."

Xu Chang said awkwardly: "The dog son is unscrupulous, please forgive me."

Mr. Lu just smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I'm just about to ask my nephew to talk. If my nephew has time, let's find a quiet place."

Xu Chang winked at Xu Qian and signaled Xu Qian to agree quickly.

Xu Qian glanced at the Lu Chenzheng and smiled bitterly, "Since that's the case, I have to ask Lu Chenzheng to make arrangements."

In the flower hall of the Xu family, the maid had already delivered tea, and Xu Yong, Xu Han and others all stepped back. Lu Chenshi sat in the first seat without hesitation. Xu Chang was on the left side of Lu Chenshi.

Xu Qian was with him, and he could feel that this Lu Junshi was secretly looking at him from beginning to end.

Mr. Lu coughed and said, "My surname is Lu, and his name is Song. Thanks to the emperor's kindness, he is the assistant minister of Jinyiwei, and he is in charge of the Nanzhen Prefecture. He is a lowly Zhang family and is now His Majesty's wet nurse."

Lu Song even revealed that he had started his home, so it was so strange that he would just report his official position, but even his wife was the emperor's wet nurse. Although the emperor's wet nurse's name was very scary, Xu Qian was not scared after all.

Big, I couldn't help but wonder what the abacus this Lu Chen was fighting.

After Lu Song said that, he smiled and said, "I remember that back then, I just took over the post of my father as the general banner. Three years ago, in Anlu, it was just a small royal palace, but now it is

Why did Lexing the center of the personal army become the number of figures among the Jinyiwei?

Lu Song smiled coldly and continued, "It's just a coincidence, but also a benefit from the mighty emperor's grace. Therefore, what our personal army pays most is the emperor's grace. If we get the holy favor, we will soar into the sky and be named a marquis.

It will be just around the corner. I have thought about it over the years. I have no ability and no knowledge. It is rare to be able to reach this point today. Fortunately, I understand this truth, but it is enough to be rich and prosperous for the rest of my life.

.”

He said so much, as if he was showing off his relationship with the emperor's extraordinary nature, but what made Xu Qian increasingly confused was, what was the point of saying so much nonsense?

Lu Song seemed to feel Xu Qian's doubts, and then smiled and said, "My nephew must be thinking in his heart whether it is inappropriate for me to come and say so much nonsense. So why not tell me the purpose of the trip.

Since Nephew Xu has arrived in Beijing, I think I plan to have a test next year. It happens to be one year left. This year, there is more to say more and less to say less. With Nephew Xu's ability, I think the test will not be a problem.

Have Nephew Xu Xian thought about taking advantage of these times to work in Nanzhenfu Company? Nanzhenfu Company is missing a book office. This book office is not harmful to you, and there is not much to do in normal times.

Occasionally, I just talk to me and play chess. As for the monthly salary, of course, it will not be less. I will only provide the salary of a hundred households. How about it?"

Xu Qian finally understood that the old man had just said so much, and he actually wanted to hire him.

In fact, it is nothing to be a scholar before he becomes an official. He can not only temper himself, but also earn some household income. Of course, the most important thing is connections. If he passes the imperial examination in the future, he will always be in charge of the official position.

It will be smoother than others.

Therefore, some governors from various provinces were juren who rushed to serve, but this time the person who came to invite was not the governor, but the assistant minister of the Jinyiwei.

Xu Qian couldn't help asking: "Sir, there are so many scholars in the world, why should I hire students?"

Lu Song looked at him and said without hesitation: "It's okay to tell you, the reason is very simple, just because your name is Xu Qian, and the palace trusts you very much. If you enter my Nanzhen Prefecture Department, it's me Lu.

Someone’s friend, in the future, you and I will work together and be prosperous together. But if you refuse, you will be unable to say something. Your father is also working in the Jinyiwei officialdom. I think you should understand."

This guy... is really straightforward.

The so-called recruitment of yourself is nothing more than an investment and treating yourself as a stock of high-performance stocks. Xu Qian complained in his heart that Lu Song was still very tempted. After all, his wife was the emperor's nanny, and his son was famous in the future.

The spy leader of the Jinyiwei should now work in the Jinyiwei and have a good relationship with such people. Besides, he is in the Nanzhen Prefecture Department. Who dares to provoke him in the future? Although he will not stomp his feet and make the capital shake the ground, for most flat heads

The people have great deterrence.

Xu Qian was silent for a moment, then shook his head, giving only one answer: "I can't obey my fate!"

Lu Song had originally expected Xu Qian to submit, but this guy was so straightforward to refuse.

Lu Song couldn't help but be shocked...

Not to mention it was him, even Xu Chang was shocked.

Xu Qian continued: "Adults love each other, but students are ashamed of their own. They are not good at learning and embarrassing their great responsibilities. Please forgive me."

Lu Song's face was faintly angry: "Why, do you look down on me? Or do you look down on Nanzhen Prefecture?"

Xu Qian was silent.

Lu Song could not have imagined that the hot face was pressed against his cold butt, snorted coldly, rose up, and said, "Okay, very good." After that, he raised his legs and left.

Xu Chang was startled and quickly got up to beg for mercy. However, Xu Qian grabbed him with a smile on his face and whispered: "Dad, don't worry about this..."

Xu Chang was so angry that he shook Xu Qian's hand away, and snorted coldly: "You... do you know what kind of person this Lu Qianshi is? It's really... when did you learn the sournesses too

Scholar, is this worldly ignorant? He learns bad things, learns bad things..."

Xu Qian said confidently: "Dad, I know the worldly ways, so I dare not agree to Lu Chenshi. Alas, let me explain to you slowly."

Xu Chang snorted coldly, "I don't listen, let me go. Anyway, in your eyes, my father is just a decoration, and you can do anything."
