Xu Sijin was afraid that some of them would make a fuss and disturb his trip to Guizhou: Wang Wei said this. It is better to be still than to move at this time. He said and scratched his head. The most troublesome person now is my father. Yesterday

He trained me hard for two hours. My legs were straight when I stood and they are still trembling. Everyone burst into laughter.

Wang Sheng's family is also a relative, but his ancestor is the brother of Taizu Wang and Queen. Although he still has the hereditary command and envoy, his favor is gradually exhausted, and he is not less angry with these powerful ministers.

Changgen asked Xu Sijin with concern: When he walked to the capital to command the envoy, he also walked to the guard station.

Most likely they will go to the guardhouse. Xu Sijin said with some helplessness, my father said he would accept my temper. It's okay. Wang Sheng comforted him, you go first. When the time comes, he will let his aunt cry a few more times in front of his uncle. He will definitely

If you are soft-hearted, you can return to the capital in as little as one year or as long as two years. By then, the Imperial Guards of the Xishan Camp will not be at your mercy.

Xu Sijin looked like he had no confidence: I hope it is as Brother Wang said, it may not be bad to go to Guizhou.

I got three or four thousand taels of silver. In my opinion, instead of thinking about how to come back at this time, it is better to find a way to find a job, which is probably better than staying in Yanjing.

Although they are all commanding envoys, or all commanding envoys are co-informed, they only enjoy this treatment and do not have any real power. Living on salary alone is not enough to go to Chunxi Tower for a drink.

Wang Sheng brightened up after hearing this: Brother Xie's words make sense. Then he said to Xu Sijin, I think Brother Xie's idea is a good one. With your qualifications, as soon as the words fell off, he felt that it was inappropriate and said hurriedly, mainly because you are too young.

At your age, even if you go to the Xishan Camp or the Imperial Guard, you can only start as a flag bearer, but it is different outside. Why are you going from the capital, and the commander will not go or give you a job?

Gong Dongning is causing trouble, but the chief and deputy Qianhu must be dealt with, otherwise, it is really unjustifiable. He said with a smile and patted Xie Yan on the shoulder. Brother Xie couldn't tell that you still have such a strategy.

Xie Yan said humbly: Brother Wang has received the award. I have no choice but to give Brother Jin an idea. I think this idea is suitable for Wang Shengchen. I know a secretary from the Military Selection Department of the Military Department.

When the time comes, treat him to a drink, give him some money, and ask him to find a way to get you a certificate of appointment for a thousand households. If you don’t look at the monk’s face or the Buddha’s face, I won’t believe it. Gong Dongning even made a special trip to discuss this matter with Wu

The Selection Division was in charge of the selection, appointment, promotion, hereditary replacement and rewards based on merit. The Selection Division was just an official responsible for specific government affairs. If Xu Sijin wanted to find a position as deputy minister, he would not have to go to the Minister of War, but to the Minister of War.

Only a minister can do it. From Wang Sheng's tone, it was clear that he wanted to do it privately and buy one with money.

But this is not visible after all. Gong Dongning, the commander-in-chief of Guizhou Province, is a senior general who conquered the west. He has a bad temper. If he doesn't buy this face and resists the real attack, a thought flashes in his mind: Gong Dongning once accompanied his uncle to conquer the west. Uncle should

Brother Jin is the one who knows him very well. You are going to Guizhou, and your uncle should explain to you how this Gong Dongning is friends with you. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Xu Sijin.

Xu Sijin couldn't help but secretly applaud.

This Xie Yan, who usually seems to be laughing and joking but not serious, can hit the mark without thinking about the problem.

Although his father did not tell him anything, he sent a letter to Gong Dongning after he returned home and asked him if he had the confidence to pass the test. This shows that he was sure to instruct Gong Dongning.

What the emperor said in the inner study has spread. Some people say that the emperor does not want him to go to Guangdong because he does not want him to serve as a soldier under his father's old subordinate Xu Li. If this is the case, it is better not to make the relationship between the family and Gong Dongning clear.

Thinking of this, Xu Sijin shook his head gently: "My father has been busy doing this and that since he came back, and he hasn't said anything to me yet. I don't know what the relationship between Gong Dongning and our family is."

Then we can't even take the path of being a secretary.

I heard that Brother Jin was going to Guizhou, so I sent someone to inquire about Gong Dongning's personality. Xie Yan politely said that he had a very bad temper. He once beat the generals around him to death over a disagreement. Otherwise,

He won't live in Guizhou for more than ten years without moving anywhere. But if you are his, he is very defensive and won't listen to others saying that he is not such a person, so it is better not to mess with him. I asked,

Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of War and Dou Ge were in the same department. As he said this, he looked at Xu Sijin. If you can't get in touch with Lu Shangshu, you can try to talk to Dou Ge. It's about your future. I think your uncle will definitely come forward.

Yes, Wang Sheng's face froze slightly as he heard this, and his eyes showed some seriousness.

Xie Yan didn't pay attention, but Wei Xun on the side saw it clearly, and he couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart.

Just as his father was about to get angry, Xu Sijin smiled sarcastically. It would be a while before he had the opportunity to talk to his old man again.

Okay, okay, what are you talking about? Wei Xun interrupted them impatiently. I think the top priority is to pack your luggage. First, you need to bring more banknotes. Second, you need to bring more capable maids. In that place in Guizhou,

They are all barbarians. If you don't bring a few more capable maids, it would be a bit difficult not to mention eating and even wearing neat clothes.

It's not as exaggerated as you said. Xie Yandao, I read the local chronicles. Although there are mostly barbarians there, there are gold mines there. Because it is close to Sichuan, it also produces medicinal forests. Wei Xun interrupted him excitedly.

, He said to Wang Sheng, "How about we work together to do business with Brother Jin? Those merchants must pay filial piety to the guards wherever they go. Who wouldn't be rich?" He said, and sat next to Wang Sheng.

What do you think of my idea? Well, Wang Sheng flushed with excitement and said to Xu Sijin, Brother Jin, I think you should stay in Guizhou for two more years. If you can find a gold mine, then make a fortune and look for gold.

The mine is not realistic anymore. Xie Yan smiled and said, even if we find out, there is also Gong Dongning. He has been operating in Guizhou for decades, and everyone is his people. We want to bypass him, but I am afraid it will be difficult. Wei Xun wants to kick Xie

Yan Yiji.

He said this just to divert Wang Sheng's attention, but Xie Yan jumped in again.

We can't do gold mining, can't we do medicinal materials business? Wei Xun glared at Xie Yan, I didn't believe it. Then Gong Dongning still covered the sky with one hand, so he could eat alone. What else did Xie Yan want to say? Xu Sijin sighed: Now

What's the use of saying this? The most important thing is to find a way to get an official position. Otherwise, even if there are mountains of gold and silver in front of you, it won't be my turn. What official position do you want to get? Just take it with a hint of gentleness.

With the sound of laughter, Xu Sizhen walked in.

The prince, fourth brother, and several others stood up and saluted him.

You are all friends of the sixth brother, so there is no need to be so polite. Just follow the sixth brother and call me fourth brother. Xu Sizhen returned the gift with a smile. Everyone gave him a seat in the first place. He smiled and said, I just walked to the door.

.I heard that my sixth brother wanted to get an official position. What happened?

Xie Yan and Wei Xun both looked at Xu Sijin, waiting for him to speak, but Wang Sheng said what had just happened before Xu Sijin: Those people in the Wu Xuan Division all have eyes on the top of their heads. It's a pity that we are young and have

If you ask them for anything, they will just hum and ask the elders to come forward. As he said that, he sighed and glanced at Xu Sizhen out of the corner of his eye.

So, Xu Sizhen showed a thoughtful expression. After a while, he smiled and said, the people in the Wu Xuan Department are really not easy to deal with. Then he asked them, if the weather is good today, why not put the lunch at Liufangwu, where is the place?

What do you think when the willows are red and green? Silver-edged willows are planted on both sides of Liufangwu, and a few are planted close to the seaside.

Hearing what the fourth brother said, Xie Yan and others responded with smiles, but only Wang Sheng showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

After dinner, the group of people dispersed.

Xu Sijin went to say hello to Mrs. Tai.

The courtyard was brightly lit. Xu Lingyi, Xu Lingkuan, eleven mothers, five wives, two wives, and Xu Sizhen and a group of juniors were all standing in the courtyard. The inner room of the madam was dark and there were no lights.

Xu Sijin was shocked: What's going on? Brother Jin, you came just in time. The second lady was in high spirits. Your grandmother heard that you were going to Guizhou and blamed your father for not trying his best. No one saw us.

Find the empress. She also said that if we don't go, she will first go to Shuntian Mansion to accuse your father of being unfilial, and then she will go to the palace in person to deliver the sign. You should quickly go and persuade your grandmother to accuse your father of being unfilial.

Xu Sijin suppressed his laughter and looked at Xu Lingyi with his own opinion.

Although my father stood there calmly and calmly as usual, there was a look of embarrassment in his eyes.

He went up and knocked on the door: Grandma, I am brother Jin. Please open the door quickly. If you don't open the door, my father will go to the government to sue me for unfilial piety. Except for Xu Lingyi, everyone in the yard covered their mouths and lowered their heads. The fifth lady

He ran out immediately, and Brother Shen gave Xu Sijin a thumbs up.

The lamp was lit in the inner room, the door creaked open, and Zhihong walked out uneasily: Mrs. Tai said, let the sixth young master go in.

Xu Sijin walked in quickly.

I went in and saw Brother Shen running in quickly.

I want to go in too. Brother Cheng rolled his eyes and ran in after him.

The seventh uncle and the eighth uncle have gone, Ting Geer said in a nǎi voice, "I want to go too," Mrs. Jiang hurriedly hugged her son: "Uncles are busy, you can stay here with your grandfather and grandmother," Ting Geer said reluctantly.

He withdrew his gaze.

Fortunately, it is spring and the yard is warm.

Eleven Niang whispered to the little maid to bring a brocade tea table for the pregnant Xiang Ying Niang to sit down. The two of them declined for a long time, but Xu Lingyi frowned and they sat down.

After all, Yingying and Brother Ting were young, so after waiting for a while, they moved around. Xu Sijie took them outside the yard, picked bamboo leaves, played music for them, and played with them.

After waiting for about half a stick of incense, Mrs. Tai's door opened again.
