Chapter 124 Getting Rich
"cheers..."
In a private room of a chain barbecue restaurant in the south of Nanjing, a group of three people who had been promoted raised their glasses and drank down the draft beer in the cup.
Although it was winter, the three of them felt warm after drinking this beer.
"Congratulations to Mr. Xu, congratulations to Mr. Song..."
Wei Xinlan bowed her hands towards the two of them.
Song Boxian laughed, and then said with a straight face: "Old Wei, if you do this, we brothers will become estranged. I have to rely on you, Old Wei, to guide me into Jinyiwei."
Xu Jiaying chuckled: "Wei Ergou, you are not a serious kid, are you?"
Wei Xinlan suddenly laughed loudly, and after drinking another glass of wine, he sighed: "To be honest, all my life, I just thought about getting to the level of a captain and then waiting to die, but I never thought that I would Be able to become a small flag officer;
Lao Song, do you know? Promotion within our Jinyiwei is very demanding. Either we can overthrow the giant Xie family this time, or Boss Xu wants to become the general banner, it will probably take twenty years. "
Xu Jiaying put down her wine glass and sighed: "It's not just twenty years...
It took my dad forty-five years to rise from school lieutenant to chief flag officer. After he retired from chief flag officer, Yu Yin gave me the post of junior flag officer. "
Song Boxian raised his eyes: "Why, you can't inherit your father's legacy?"
Wei Xinlan patted Song Boxian on the shoulder and said: "Old Song, it has been a rule of the Jinyiwei for hundreds of years. Yu Yin's position will be automatically demoted one level. Before I retired, I also worked as a small flag officer for thirty years."
Song Boxian picked up a bunch of mutton and chewed it: "So, as long as I continue to serve as the chief flag officer, I can also give my descendants Yu Yin a small flag officer in the future?"
Wei Xinlan nodded: "As long as you don't commit adultery and retire safely, your descendants will be able to retain the official position of Jin Yiwei. Of course, some people don't want their descendants to become Jin Yiwei. After all, in our line of work, the replacement is very fast. very."
Xu Jiaying nodded in agreement: "The fastest promotion in Jinyiwei is at the Qianhu Station, and the overseas assignment is in Xizhou Province. In Xizhou, if you are lucky, you can be promoted in half a year."
Song Boxian's eyes lit up: "Old Wei, let's do this. Let's ask Boss Xu to arrange a task for us and transfer you to Xizhou. We will strive to promote you to the general banner by July next year."
Wei Xinlan shook his head noncommittally: "In Xizhou, if you rise quickly, you will die quickly..."
Seeing the confusion on Song Boxian's face, Wei Xinlan smiled and said: "The position of our Jinyiwei, above the small flag, is a carrot and a pit. If those people don't die, how can you get promoted?"
It turned out to be such a truth, and Song Boxian suddenly realized it.
The three of them continued chatting happily. Halfway through the drinks, Xu Jiaying suddenly remembered something, so she rummaged through her bag, took out two checks, checked the names and handed them to Song Boxian and Wei Xinlan.
"This is a reward issued by the Secretary. Because it is already the end of the year and it is difficult to handle the accounts, it is a direct check."
Song Boxian took the check and looked at it, my dear, it was worth a full 100,000 yuan.
And Wei Xinlan's one also has 30,000.
"Captain Xu, what about you?"
Xu Jiaying smiled and said, "I definitely have more than you."
"This is so comfortable. We can get promoted and make a fortune. Let's do the second of the three great joys in life."
The three of them faced each other and laughed.
...
Although Song Boxian was promoted, he was extremely reserved whenever he was a guest at the Yanzhou Marquis' Mansion. If Liu Zixi hadn't been so persuasive, he would never have gone to the Yanzhou Marquis' Mansion.
Yanzhou Marquis Liu Shizhen had a serious look on his face. The scene made Song Boxian feel uneasy. Liu Zixi also felt that the atmosphere was not right. When he was about to speak, he was glared hard by his father, the Marquis, and he suddenly lost his temper.
Liu Shizhen stared at Song Boxian. Song Boxian inadvertently raised his head and saw Liu Shizhen looking at him. He was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He thought for a long time. He clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Uncle, oh no, Lord Marquis, I'm... um... .I have something to do at home, so I’ll take my leave now..."
"Want to leave?"
Liu Shizhen said coldly, which scared Song Boxian who had already stood up and immediately sat down again.
"Father..."
Liu Zixi said anxiously: "You told me earlier that you asked Bai Xian to come over for dinner. If you raise an army to accuse me like this, where do you want to put me?"
Seeing that his daughter was angry, Liu Shizhen said: "If you don't say that, how dare this kid come here? Hey, you stinky boy, you Jinyiwei can handle the case by yourself, but you actually take my daughter to attack. Do you know that the water in Daming is rich?" How deep?
I already know what happened to you that night from other places. If something happened to my daughter that night, what could you tell me?
Your life? "
Song Boxian knew he was in the wrong. He blushed and clasped his fists, saying, "Master Hou, I didn't think carefully."
"Father, am I okay? Baekhyun has been protecting me from the beginning to the end."
"protect you?"
Liu Shizhen was so angry that he laughed back: "If you and I hadn't had the foresight to send people to spy on you secretly, neither of you would have been able to escape from the Nha Trang seaside. Otherwise, you think the people in Xichang where you were hiding wouldn't know. "
As soon as these words came out, Song Boxian was immediately discouraged. It turned out that not only his uncle, but also the Yanzhou Marquis Mansion had sent people to protect them secretly. One can imagine how dangerous the Jiaozhou area was.
"Our Ming Empire has a vast territory and abundant resources. In today's world, no country's territory can exceed half of our Ming Dynasty. Except for China, I don't know how many people have died in other places over the past few hundred years. You two are young and ignorant. I I don’t blame you;”
Liu Shizhen suddenly changed his tone and said earnestly: "Song Boxian, you are young and promising, and your future is unlimited. But after all, you are still a child studying. You will not be able to grow without experiencing the beatings of society. But I do appreciate it." You actually dare to use my daughter as a shield to ask her to work for you, but you are really good at planning."
Song Boxian smiled awkwardly, his face flushed: "Master Marquis, I am also..."
"You don't need to be so reserved. I have a good relationship with the Duke of Qin. I can bear to call me uncle. Besides, you are the one my daughter likes now. You must take care of my daughter's face no matter what."
Song Boxian chuckled: "Uncle, I...well...my nephew can't help it. After all, this is his first mission. Besides, my nephew also wants to take this opportunity to go out with Zixi, but I really can’t believe that the water in Jiaozhou is so deep.”
Seeing Song Boxian's sincere expression, Liu Shizhen felt happy in his heart, thinking that this boy could be regarded as a teachable child: "I think after this incident, you should have gained some experience. After all, you are now the person who has been promoted to the general banner." , Do you think so, Mr. Song..."
Song Boxian waved his hands repeatedly: "Uncle, please stop making fun of your nephew. In front of your uncle, I am just a joke."
Liu Shizhen chuckled: "The second son of the Song family can be considered a good teacher. Although your son cannot inherit the title, after all, you are a great talent in the Imperial College. In the future, you may not be able to become an imperial minister like the Xie family. Maybe then I will have to bow my hand to you, Mr. Song."
Song Boxian repeatedly said that he did not dare.
"When you get back, say hello to your father for me when you have time. Let's have a meal with our two families sometime. After all, our relationship is where it is now."
Liu Zixi chuckled and stepped forward to hold Song Boxian's hand: "Father, have you agreed to meet?"
Liu Shizhen sighed and said: "It's not that easy. This boy, even if his father agrees, he has to ask the boss of the Song family for his opinion."
.
The two of them walked out of the door, and Song Boxian let out a sigh of relief, and then looked at Liu Zixi: "It's a good thing I left, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat the Hongmen Banquet."
"What did you say?" Liu Zixi said angrily: "My father finally let go of the Hongmen Banquet. Why don't you want to marry me in the future?"
"The law of the Ming Dynasty states that a man can only marry when he is 20 and a woman can only marry when she is 18. I am 18 and you are 19. Even if I want to marry you, it will take two years."
Song Baoxian chuckled.
Liu Zixi grabbed Song Boxian's hand: "Song Boxian, I hear what you mean, do you want to kick me away in the future? Are you still thinking about Nangong and Han Shijia?"
Song Boxian was shocked. If it weren't for the winter vacation, he really wouldn't have been able to face the love attacks from Nangong Xiyue and Han Shijia.
When Liu Zixi said this, it really made him feel melancholy.
Seeing the solemn look on Song Boxian's face, Liu Zixi shouted: "Okay, when you were in Nha Trang, you were obsessed with that Huang Shixue vixen. Now that he's back, you think of them two again, and I'm angry..."
Seeing Liu Zixi turning around with a blushing face, Song Boxian quickly stepped forward and took Liu Zixi's hand: "Zixi, where have you been thinking of? I just suddenly thought of Captain Miao and the others."
Liu Zixi frowned but did not speak. Song Boxian continued: "Last night at the celebration party, Captain Xu gave me a check for 100,000 yuan. I thought that if it weren't for Captain Miao's help this time, maybe I would have died in Nha Trang, so what? You can now get promoted and make a fortune openly, don't you think?"
"It turns out I blamed you wrongly."
"Not really," Song Boxian said seriously: "I want to remit the check, but I think Captain Miao will definitely not accept it, so I want to go to Nha Trang in person, see Captain Miao by the way, and then hand over the check in person Give it to her, what do you think?"
Liu Zixi nodded: "As long as you think it is right, do it. I have a lot of entertainment at home these days. I want to accompany you, mainly to see if you will be seduced by that woman Huang Shixue."
Song Boxian laughed, and then scratched the bridge of Liu Zixi's nose. This action made Liu Zixi feel a strong sense of love, and she actually shrank into Song Boxian's arms.
"What are you thinking about? They in the West Factory are not easy to cause trouble. I can't afford to offend them."
As he spoke, Song Boxian felt the warmth of Liu Zixi in his arms, so he whispered in her ear: "Zixi, how about we repeat the process of getting off the plane in Nha Trang."
"Hate..."
