The Rise of Ning Mansion in Red Mansions

Chapter 46 Fu Shi seeks official position
Hua Zhenzhu was already hungry. She struggled for a while on her face and then couldn't hold on any longer.

He glanced at Jia Dai carefully, tentatively sat down on his lower body, picked up his chopsticks and took small bites of the dishes, and said to himself:
"My master taught me how to eat. I don't mean to be disrespectful or to break the rules."

Seeing this, Fu Shiyan did not change his expression, calmly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and just like Jia Dai, he only ate wine without using chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

Fu Shi couldn't afford to be embarrassed by eating at the same table as a maid. If he entered an official career in the future and his colleagues found out, he wouldn't laugh to death.

Today at 12 o'clock, Fu Shi took his book boy and rode in a carriage and arrived at Rongguo Mansion. He didn't even eat breakfast or lunch.
While waiting at Mengpo Zhai, I occasionally ate a few pastries to satisfy my stomach.

Although he is not hungry now, his stomach is already deflated, and he is making a revolution!

After three drinks, Fu Shi still couldn't find a suitable entry point.

Just fifty taels of silver, a small favor. He wanted to ask Jia Dai to find an official position for him, but I was afraid it was unlikely.

I don’t know how long it took, but Hua Zhenzhu put down her chopsticks with satisfaction, burped, lowered her head, and blushed.

Jia Dai pursed his lips and smiled, poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her, "Do you want more?"

"Today, just eat and drink well. Don't worry about money."

"This small amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for Brother Fu Shi's family, but they can still afford it."

Hua Zhenzhu blushed, hummed slightly, drank a few sips of tea, and felt a little better. Then she stood up and stood obediently behind Jia Dai.

Hearing these words, Fu Zhan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. The young master invited you, not your maid.

Fu Shi only dared to slander in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. His family also had some foundation, so he naturally knew that some people could not afford to offend him.

Jia Dai's family couldn't afford to offend the powerful, not to mention that he still had something to ask for and couldn't afford to be punished.

After Jia Dai finished speaking, Fu Shi followed behind with a smile and echoed a few words.

Obviously, Fu Shi also noticed that Jia Dai had a very good impression of the little maid he called "Flower Pearl". He could say a few polite words and praise her without dying.

Jia Dai glanced at Fu Shi with a funny look, "Good wine and good food will cost Brother Fu a lot."

"But I think it's definitely worth the money."

Jia Dai drank the rice wine in one gulp, got up and walked to the window.

From here, you can see Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion, a rare prosperous place.

However, under the eaves, there are people with naked clothes, shouting to sell their children, sell their daughters, or sell their bodies to hide their fathers and so on.

During the two years that Emperor Taikang was in power, there were either severe droughts or snow disasters.

Recently, refugees have gathered in Shenjing, the border is about to move, and the government and the opposition are afraid that something big is about to happen.

Shenjing is the center of this whirlpool.

At the time when the old and new dignitaries are changing, the party struggle is particularly fierce. Wanting peace and peace of mind is also a delusion. It is better to leave as soon as possible and go south.

I heard that the Supreme Emperor also wanted to travel south to the south of the Yangtze River. He must be just like himself, fighting with snipe and clams to make a profit for the fisherman.

Yangzhou?

Sister Lin is six years old this year, right?
Jia Min couldn't stand it any longer. The fragrance disappeared and the jade was lost, and the immortal passed away in Yangzhou City.

The plot of the Red Mansion is also in full swing.

For a long time, Jia Dai sighed, then thought about Jinling and a strange thing that would happen in the future. His mind changed and he said:
"Brother Fu Shi, what do you think of the position of Jiangning County Magistrate?"

Jiangning County,
It is the head county of Yingtian Prefecture in Jinling Province in the south of the Yangtze River.
It was originally the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty and was extremely prosperous.

It is a place of first-class wealth and romance, and is also the ancestral place where the four major families in Jinling made their fortune.

His parents were officials of the sixth rank according to the system, which was equivalent to Jia Zheng's head of the Ministry of Industry.

A graduate of the Imperial College, who is at the pinnacle of his official career, can serve as a parent in a county, which is like smoke rising from his ancestral graves.

Not to mention,

As soon as he became an official, he could be promoted to the sixth rank. In the Wei Dynasty, there was no other way except Yin En.

Then, don't you mean...

Fu Shi no longer dared to think further!
God opened his eyes, the pie finally hit their Fu family. Fu Shi wiped away his unhappiness, looked overjoyed, knelt down and said:

"If this can be done, I will be deeply grateful. I will surely be richly rewarded in the future. I am willing to follow the hard work of dogs and horses..."

Suddenly, Jia Dai turned around, his eyes shining brightly, like a tiger locking its prey, "Brother Fu Shi, do you know where Jiangning County is?"

"Late birth..."

Fu Shi's heart trembled and he murmured to himself, what Jia Dai asked was definitely not simple.

Jia Dai's face turned cold, and he couldn't hide the disdain in his eyes. "Jiangning is a place where dragons and tigers roost. It's the land of kings."

"A place of refuge for the four major families of Jia, Shi, Wang and Xue."

"There are still many members of these four families living in Jiangning."

"With many people and mixed voices, it is inevitable that a big family will have one or two unfilial descendants."

"Therefore, in an important place like Jiangning County, Wang Shuai and this general believe that there must be a reliable person serving as an official here to benefit the country."

"If Brother Fu Shi is just talking nonsense, I'm afraid he won't be able to figure it out with just a few words."

"With Wang Shuai's methods, you can take the position of Jiangning County Magistrate today, and you can easily win it tomorrow."

Fu Zhan heard this, and his heart sank. He really wanted to climb up a high tree and become a big boss.

However, I don’t want to become the nanny for the four unworthy children of King Jia Shi’s Xue family.

In the future, if due to this incident, political opponents catch us, wouldn't it mean that once we fall, the higher we climb, the worse the fall will be?
Fu Shi was in a dilemma for a moment, deeply regretting that he had thought too simply of the children of a wealthy family.

Jia Dai was not in a hurry and waved his hand, "Brother Fu Shi, please go back and think about it slowly."

"But, Jiangning County Magistrate has been vacant for a long time, and many people are keeping an eye on him, thinking that he is already on the market."

"Furthermore, after listening to what Gujiu said in the court, the Minister of Rites, Mr. Gu Bingjun, has already written to the court to reinstate his old ministers."

"If this is the case, brother, if you don't take action now, I'm afraid it will be a day or two too late, and outsiders will soon get it. Don't regret it then..."

After saying this, Jia Dai greeted Hua Zhenzhu and left the private room of the small restaurant.

We haven’t finished yet, why is the general leaving in a hurry?

It was easy to catch a big fish, but Fu Shi'an missed it. His family was always explosive and bold.

well aware,

There are people in the court who like to be officials.

if only,

If he could climb up, there was nothing Fu Shi couldn't lose.

Fu Shi held up even a idiot like Jia Zheng who had no ink in his belly.

Now, if you just take care of the unfilial descendants of the Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue families, why not be a nanny?

After thinking about this, Fu Shi quickly chased after him, cupped his hands and said:

"Brother, please try your best to deal with this matter. It is natural for you to be born late. If you succeed in the future, you will definitely be rewarded generously."

Jia Dai kept walking and went downstairs, "What kind of reward is there but not a generous reward?"

"Our two families are family friends, why do we need to be so secluded?"

"We should take care of each other. Say thank you or not without hurting each other's feelings!"

"In a few days, there will be good news. Brother Fu, you can rest assured and have a good time waiting. Don't spread the word to avoid unnecessary trouble!"

After saying that, Jia Dai and Hua Zhenzhu disappeared in the stairwell of the restaurant.

Fu Shi felt quite emotional. While rushing back, he savored the meaning of Jia Dai's words, but he was more envious.

When will I be able to take advantage of other people's fortunes like Jia Dai?
