The Soldier of the Red Mansion

Chapter 53 Selection

Lin Zhixiao walked into the room from outside and called out, "Master."

"Sent away?"

"Already sent away."

Jia Zheng was still thinking about Wang Xin and couldn't help but say, "This kid is too confident."

"Master is right." Lin Zhixiao, who was always very low-key, followed his master's words and then said, "I think the letter master is indeed different from others. He is indeed a remarkable person."

Among the housekeepers, Lin Zhixiao's family is the most docile.

Jia Zheng always trusted Lin Zhixiao the most, so he even handed over the accounting matters to Lin Zhixiao.

Hearing the taciturn Lin Zhixiao also saying something nice about others, he smiled and said, "You are really speaking up today. It's rare for you to open your mouth. Tell me the truth quickly. Have you accepted any benefits from others?"

Lin Zhixiao smiled and said, "Master, you are joking. How dare I accept things from guests?"

If someone else had said this, Jia Zheng would not have believed it, but when Lin Zhixiao said it, even if it was a joke, Jia Zheng believed it in his heart. In such a big mansion, there must be a few reliable people.

There are also several retainers in the mansion, and they are not materialistic people.

Lin Zhixiao knew the master's temper and preferences, so he deliberately said good things about Wang Xin, which really made the master happy.

It’s a pity that Mr. Xin is a warrior.

Even if he was a fourth-rank official, in the master's eyes, he was not as important as those Qingke masters.

So Lin Zhixiao decided to quit while he was ahead.

"You heard what he said. Go to the Northeast Office and ask him."

Jia Zheng sighed again, "I really can't figure it out. Doesn't that kid understand the principle of judging a person by his appearance but not his heart? He's put in so much effort to get some good results, but I'm afraid it's all in vain."

"That's what the master said."

"You are right, old beheader. He is indeed a remarkable man, but he is also a pedantic young man."

Jia Zheng gave his evaluation confidently.

Lin Zhixiao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He was not sure whether Mr. Xin was pedantic or not, but it was no big deal if his master said others were pedantic. However, Lin Zhixiao did not dare to say it out loud. Seeing that his master had no other instructions, he went to Aunt Xue again.

The room on the east side of Jia Zheng's courtyard is Jia Zheng's study.

Going north, there are Aunt Zhou's room, Aunt Zhao's room, and then the East Courtyard. After the East Courtyard, there is a large residence, which is quite quiet. This is where Aunt Xue and her family live.

Before the construction of the Grand View Garden, the family lived in Lixiangyuan and moved here only because of the construction of the Grand View Garden.

When in Lixiangyuan, Xue Pan entered and exited through the same door as Wang Xin.

It's quite convenient.

Now that he has moved, Xue Pan is not affected.

There is a private alley between Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion. This alley is not open to the public. The end of this private alley is the northeast corner, where Aunt Xue's family lives. There is a side door on the wall here to facilitate Xue Pan's entry and exit.

Lin Zhixiao went to visit Aunt Xue.

Wang Xin returned the same way.

When he entered the hall, he didn't see Qingwen. He didn't know where this girl had gone, so he took out pen, ink, and paper, placed them on the round table, and began to practice. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen.

Before I knew it, three months had passed since I left Yangzhou.

The number of ruling positions also increased from five to six.

One of the places is still cooling down because it has been bound to the new subordinate Zhao Sheng, who was accepted by Monk Liu Tong. You can use five places yourself.

Wang Xin deliberately asked those people to work today.

Name: Li Wu

Position: Sentry Officer.

Status: Li Wu is friendly to you.

Note: Because of your personality, Li Wu has a better impression of you.

Name: Qi Shannian
Position: Captain.

Status: Qi Shannian is kind to you.

Note: Because of your personality, Qi Shannian has a better impression of you.

Name:

Five people were bound separately.

I am a Dusi and I treat them well on weekdays. As Jia Zheng said, human hearts are unpredictable. So even if they appear respectful to me, they may not be so in their hearts. So I choose the people I like.

Three sentries and two captains.

When we first started binding, everyone was very nice. But that's not enough.

They need to be put to work.

You can't feel dissatisfied just because you have to work and take action.

If there was no system, Wang Xin would definitely not be able to tell the difference.

Later, with the experience in Yangzhou, after systematic screening, Wang Xin had already gained some experience in judging people. Sure enough, the five people he picked out this time are all pretty good.

only one.

It used to be friendly, but now it has changed to acceptance.

"Unbind."

"Cooling down."

Wang Xin gave up directly.

Although the task assigned was heavy and only two days were given, I did so on purpose.

Life is indeed hard, and I have made a promise myself.

After a few days of contact, we have been getting along well.

When the real situation came, they turned against each other so quickly. Was the friendship of the past few days all fake? If they were to work, their attitude would change, not to mention encountering greater benefits or twists and turns, so Wang Xin gave up on this person directly.

Of the six places, one now has to wait for half a month, and the newly vacant place has to wait for another month.

Unbinding period.

The original target can still see the status.

So this person actually has a chance of one month, but Wang Xin does not believe that this person will change easily.

Because if a person has problems with his abilities, he can improve them through learning, but it is difficult to change one's nature, and it is extremely difficult to change one's own character.

Wang Xin did not have high requirements for ordinary soldiers.

Everyone eats from the same pot.

It's good enough if you can do your job well, but you are not choosing soldiers, but officers, so the requirements are naturally higher.

Just like the old women in the village.

She is old and has served in the Jia family all her life, so she wants to live out her retirement in this farm, do some light work, and not be too tired. What's wrong with that?

So Wang Xin supported these women.

But like Qingwen.

Although he did not have much contact with Qingwen, Wang Xin already understood her.

Do not admit defeat.

Want to change.

If you have ideas, you must have the ability to take action and be persistent. Qingwen does have the ability to take action and be persistent. What Wang Xin wants is to select such people to become leaders in the army.

Sudden.

"Uncle, why are you so elusive?"

Qingwen came back from outside skipping and jumping, but she didn't expect there was someone in the house. She was frightened and started to blame Wang Xin.

Wang Xin put down his pen.

"You're not in the house, but you blame me."

"I'm going to see Xiren off."

Wang Xin waved his hand, intending to talk about the women, "Come, come here."

"Why are you ordering people around?"

Qingwen walked over with a pout.

"Someone is suing you."

Wang Xin laughed.

Qingwen was furious, like a little tiger, baring her teeth and claws.

Have a look.

This is called it is difficult to change one's nature.

Wang Xin just thought it was funny and was not angry.

Qingwen couldn't stand it, she lowered her head and felt embarrassed, feeling uncomfortable all over. How could anyone look at someone like that? She felt like an ignorant little girl, which was so embarrassing.
