After returning from Dongkuoyuan, Jia Lian took a birth booklet of important figures in the mansion who had contacts with Rongguo Mansion and returned to the study to study it.

Although a hole has been dug for Jia She, it is still unknown when the old guy will die. He cannot wait around to take advantage of this opportunity. In the meantime, he naturally has to find something serious to do. To do it, it is best to get a practical job where you can make something of your career.

But he is not like Jia Yucun, who has fame and resume, so he can get important posts from the court with Jia Zheng's recommendation.

Children like them have more or less opportunities, because a lot of nobles, relatives, and even royal family members are eyeing those good opportunities.

Therefore, you have to look for opportunities yourself.

How to fight for it? In view of the fact that Jia Lian was too lazy in the past and his reputation was not very good, he really couldn't think of a good way for the moment. It's just that if you go out more and attend more wealthy parties, you might be able to find opportunities.

He took a closer look and found that there were quite a few families that would entertain guests in recent times, and the mansions were also preparing gifts, including the Wang Family, the Dingguo Palace, the Tuiguo Palace, etc.

When it comes to distance, closeness, and power, the Wang family naturally ranks first among them.

Wang Ziteng was appointed as the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp, which is a real position of real power. He is also Wang Xifeng’s uncle. Logically speaking, if he is willing to make progress, he can ask Wang Ziteng to arrange for him a mid-level and low-level officer in the Beijing Camp. The job is not difficult.

But he still has two doubts here.

The first point is Wang Xifeng.

Although this bitch is a lot more docile to him now, she is still far from being obedient, and it is all temporary. From now on, whenever he does something that is not to her liking, his bad temper may come back at any time.

And the reason why she dared to yell around in the house, and even go against her husband, was because of the Wang family.

Therefore, if he relies too much on Wang Ziteng in his official career, it will obviously increase Wang Xifeng's arrogance and make her feel that she can't do it without her. If he wants to control her in the future, It will undoubtedly be harder.

The second point is that what Jia Lian actually wants more is military glory.

As long as you accumulate enough military merits and inherit the family title in the future, you may be able to upgrade your title and easily achieve a pivotal position in the country!

However, Jingying Jiedu, as the name suggests, is to control the troops in Beijing. As we all know, the troops in the capital are all wealthy and honorable soldiers. They usually run errands, escort, and get some oil and water for the nobles. If they want to gain military glory, they may not be able to wait until ten years!

Therefore, if there were other opportunities, Jia Lian would not really want to enter the Beijing camp.

But, do you really want to go to the border army to gild...

Even if you want to go, it is not a small matter, and you have to think about it in the long run.

Keeping these two points as backup options, a name caught Jia Lian’s mind.

Linzi’s uncle’s house, his maternal grandfather’s house!

Although he knew it was his maternal grandfather’s home, he was only unfamiliar with this Linzi uncle.

Searching through memories, I have only been to this place when I was a child. When I grew up, I never went there again because the relationship between the two houses has long been as cold as ice. In the past few years, during the Chinese New Year, not many people in the mansion dared to talk about the affairs of the Linzi uncle's mansion.

The reason...

"Second Master~?"

A crisp voice sounded in the room. Jia Lian looked up and realized that It was Qingwen who came into his study at some point.

"What are you thinking about, why are you so fascinated?"

Qingwen walked to Jia Lian and took a look at the desk. Unfortunately, she couldn't read.

"It's nothing." Jia Lian put away the things on the table, put them aside, and then stared at Qingwen.

Qingwen was a little embarrassed, but she snorted again and looked at Jia Lian with some resentment.

Jia Lian was so happy that he spread his legs and pulled her over to sit on his lap. He said with a smile: "What's wrong? The little mouth is so high that it can hang an oil bottle."
< br />Qingwen didn't struggle, her position was already clear. She was the spare aunt in the house, and it was normal for her to be close to Jia Lian.

So he leaned against Jia Lian and hummed: "Why did you change your mind so early in the morning about what you said last night? Did the Second Mistress force you to not let me in?"

"So that's why." Jia Lian smiled and raised Qingwen's chin, jokingly saying: "Why are you so anxious to be my little wife and warm my bed?"

"Go..."

Opening Jia Lian's hand to tease her, Qingwen finally felt embarrassed and blushed.

She remembered that she took the initiative to kiss Jia Lian last night...

Qingwen was extremely beautiful, even among so many beautiful maids in Rongqing Hall , there is no one as good as her.

At this time, she was shyly budding, with a pretty face like a ripe little apple. Jia Lian was so happy to see her that she couldn't help but hug her and give her a kiss.

　“Oops~"

Qingwen screamed and was about to run away.

But Jia Lian refused to let him go. He still hugged her and said with a smile: "Tell me, why did you come to me? ? "

"Sister Ping'er asked me to call you and tell you that Aunt Zhao is here and ask you to go back quickly. "

Jia Lian then realized that it was almost noon, so he picked up Qingwen and prepared to go out.

"Let go..."

Qingwen stopped working and started earning money.

It was okay that it was dark last night. If she was carried around the house by Jia Lian in broad daylight, she would definitely become the most popular person in the house in the afternoon. News!

Jia Lian didn’t force her, he let her fall to the ground and let her trot ahead to lead the way.

　……

Mrs. Zhao Grandma is Jia Lian's nanny, and she is very respectful and polite. She is not at all like the nannies of Jia Baoyu and others. She often comes to the courtyard for blessings because of her status as a nanny, so whether it is Jia Lian or Wang Xifeng, she has no regard for her. Aunt Zhao is very respectful.

"Hello, brother... Hey, I heard that brother went to Jiangnan, but it was hard work. Look, he is darker than before, but he is stronger. . "

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a neatly dressed old woman about fifty years old coming up to her and talking with a smile.

Jia Lian hurriedly bowed her hands and said: "Mom Well, I haven’t seen you for a long time, but my mother is still so healthy. "

"Thanks to my brother, everything is fine, everything is fine..."

At this time, Wang Xifeng had already placed food and wine on the Kang table and came over to invite Aunt Zhao to sit down.

Aunt Zhao refused, and sat alone on the low stool placed by Ping'er below.

Wang Xifeng did not force it, and took it upon herself to The stewed elbow with ham, which is a favorite of the elderly, was brought over, and he personally poured a glass of wine for Aunt Zhao and said with a smile: "Mom, try it too, this is the Huiquan wine your son brought from Jiangnan. "

Aunt Zhao hurriedly said: "Grandma, you're welcome, I'll do it myself. Alas, we all know that you are busy, so you shouldn't have disturbed me in the first place. Grandma's behavior makes me more and more worried in the future. Don't dare to come. ”

Jia Lian smiled inwardly when he saw it.

I vaguely remember watching the film and television drama Red Mansions in my previous life, whether it was the nanny in Jia Baoyu’s room or the nurse in Yingchun and others’ room. The wet nurse was not an easy person to get along with. She often caused chaos in their house. Even a "living dragon" and "overlord" like Jia Baoyu couldn't do anything to his wet nurse.

I thought The existence of a nanny is just to cause trouble for young gentlemen, but looking at the behavior of this nanny, it seems that this is not the case.

It can be seen that no matter what status you have, the most important thing is whether you can be a talent.

So after Aunt Zhao drank two cups of wine, Jia Lian took the initiative to smile and said: "It's rare for mom to come to our house now. But if you have any instructions, mom can just say it and we can do it." Yes, we will do our best."

Aunt Zhao put down the wine cup and said with a smile: "Look at what I said, I don't give you any orders, but I really need your help with something.

I see that my brother is becoming more and more successful now. He can travel far away to do big things, and he does it so well...

No better than my two incompetent ones. People in their twenties have started to take care of their families, but they still have no idea what to do, and the family wanders around all day long. Therefore, I am also a shameless person, and I want to ask my brother to see what I can do. , if you have any errands, please take more care of them. On the one hand, you can gain their hearts, and on the other hand, it can also give them more money to support their families, and I can worry less about them."

When Wang Xifeng heard this, he immediately understood the reason.

It turns out that when Jia Lian set out from Yangzhou, he ordered Zhao Sheng and Wang Teng to take a few servants who could ride horses to ride back the horses they took with them when they went south. Beijing.

They are all good horses carefully raised in the mansion. The worst one can be worth a hundred taels of silver. It would be a pity to lose or sell it. It would be more troublesome to transport it by ship, so I let the servants ride it. Returning to the capital is the best choice.

Taking the land route is much faster than taking the water route, so even if Zhao Sheng and others stopped rushing, they had returned to the capital half a month ago.

Not to mention this, Wang Teng is a very family-oriented man. When he came back, he bought a car full of food and clothing for his wife and children, which immediately made other people envious. Ask him where he made his fortune.

He did not hide it, he bluntly said that it was all rewarded by Jia Lian, not just him, but everyone who went to Yangzhou with Jia Lian, which made many people regret it. Even Wang Xifeng had heard of these rumors, let alone Grandma Zhao and her family.

After hearing about it, Aunt Zhao’s two sons kept complaining in front of Aunt Zhao, saying that what was the use of her breastfeeding Jia Lian? There were such benefits, and they didn’t care at all. Instead, they went to give it to outsiders...

This is why Nanny Zhao came to Jia Lian.
