Jia Lian disagreed.
How could it be as simple as dad thought?
Do you really think you can earn 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, Wang Ziteng's face is also involved in this.
Why come to Feng Ziying herself?
In addition to the identity of the candidate, it is also because behind Feng Ziying, the candidate is Qi Yongtai, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, 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?
There is a benefactor who is the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Imperial Censor. Is he still afraid of offending others? Are you afraid of who dares to impeach him?
What's more important is that both Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia are still in their prime, and their future prospects are limitless. Even if they serve as ministers of the six departments, censors of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or even join the cabinet and become prime ministers, they are very likely to do so.
With these two backers, Dalang Feng's future is limitless.
Under this situation, 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?
After being in contact with Feng Ziying for so long, Jia Lian paid more and more attention to the friendship with Feng Ziying. In his opinion, this was probably the most important relationship he had 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 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, just raise it with Feng Ziying directly. He doesn't think there is anything embarrassing about it. They are all people who have 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.
"Sir, that's because the Feng family has Qingtan Academy behind it. Qiu Wei of Shuntian Prefecture has more than ten candidates at once, and Chun Wei has to have seven or eight Jinshi. These are all the elders 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 was drooling when he said this: "Even if he doesn't make any money himself, there are so many people of the same age. Even if relatives and friends want to make a living and just say hello, how can they not give face and favors?"
These words were so logical and logical that Jia She's eyes glowed with gold, 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 body that can support children. Several women have said this..." Mrs. Xing couldn't hold back after hearing this. Anyway, she's not her biological daughter, so she doesn't have much to worry about. "If you 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's eldest son, but if he wanted his sister 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 face full of displeasure and glanced at Mrs. Xing so hard that she was so frightened that she did not dare to say anything.
"Father, mother, it will be very difficult for these two younger sisters to marry the Feng family's eldest son. If the Feng family's eldest son really passes the Jinshi examination in Chunwei, it will be even more impossible." Jia Lian simply made it clear.
He always had a glimmer of hope in this matter, which made him feel uncomfortable. Facing Feng Ziying, it was not good to say it, nor was it good not to say it. Being rejected was humiliating, and it also made everyone embarrassed.
"Hmph, I'm afraid your second sister is not the only one in our Rongguo Mansion who has this idea. There are also people who have the same idea." Ms. Xing couldn't help it anymore.
Seeing that his father's expression remained unchanged, 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? "
Only then did Jia Lian realize 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 spring next year to discuss it again, and that he would take a break this year.
Jia Lian was also a well-informed and reasonable person, and of course he knew the importance of autumn and spring to Brother Keng, so he never mentioned it again. Unexpectedly, his father and mother couldn't help it anymore.
"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 think you will be able to make a living,..."
"Oh, was the Feng family's elder brother the one who pulled the strings for you last year?" Jia She didn't expect that his son and the Feng family's elder brother 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 were his father and Sister Feng just thinking about it?
The influence brought by the Feng family's victory celebration banquet is probably most affected by the Rongning Mansion, especially the Rongguo Mansion.
Jia She was chattering to Jia Lian in the room, while 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 congratulations for a distinguished son of four princes, eight princes, twelve nobles, and twelve marquises to pass the exam, but is it worthy for a second-grade official like Wang Ziteng to personally come 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.
Why this Feng family man knows his life experience, or even if he doesn't know, he must know some secrets. This is incredible, 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 looks and attitudes of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's father and 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 outcome was, she had to find out, 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."
