"Brother Renzu thought about me, and Yue was very touched. But since the Langya Wang family wants you to invite me, I'm afraid he has other things to say?"

The implication is...

The friendship between you and me alone, Wang Shi of Langya knows, is not enough for me to take the risk of siding with him.

The Langya Wang family must have other benefits for me.

As a man who rides on two boats, Zhao Yue naturally knows the dangers of riding on two boats. At the same time, he also understands how to obtain his maximum benefits when riding on two boats.

"Uh~"

Xie Shang looked at Zhao Yue, who was smiling in front of him, and could only shake his head with a wry smile.

From the moment he first entered the study, or perhaps the moment he got the invitation in Zhao Yue's hands, he had already lost.

Zhao Xiaolangjun of the Tianshui Zhao family is really not that easy to deal with.

Actually, if you think about it, this is normal.

There is actually not much difference between the Tianshui Zhao family and the Chenjun Xie family, but because Zhao Xun ate and slept with the refugee soldiers, although he was ridiculed by other overseas Chinese families who returned to the north, the military power he held was real.

Otherwise, the Yu family and the Langya Wang family would not have come to compete for the support of the Tianshui Zhao family.

The bandit general Zhao Xun was an extraordinary person.

And his son Zhao Yue is even more talented than his master. Not only does his calligraphy have the style of a great master, but he is also experienced in dealing with people. This kind of skill and temperament are simply not something that a fourteen-year-old boy can possess.

Whatever~

After removing the pretense in his heart, Xie Shang felt much more relaxed.

"I can't even deceive Mr. Xiao Lang. As a lobbyist, I have failed miserably."

Zhao Yue shook his head and said: "It's not because of brother Renzu's incompetence, but the current situation in the DPRK is unpredictable. I, the Zhao family in Tianshui, fly to a high-ranking family. The family is very thin. If I'm not careful, I will die."

It will be destroyed, so we have to be careful.”

"Alas~"

From Zhao Yue's words, Xie Shang found some sympathy for others.

"How can I, the Xie family of Chen County, be the same?"

When this small family and small surname face the behemoth of the Langya Wang family, can you refuse?

You simply can't refuse any request he makes.

Because you ask too many things from him.

Especially after his father Xie Kun died of illness, the Xie family in Chen County suddenly lost his height.

He, Xie Shang, had to stand in front.

Whether it is personal career, or the Xie family's children gaining fame and status, as well as their smooth future career, these are the things that Xie Shang wants to seek from the Langya Wang family.

That's why...

When the Wang family of Langya came over with an official position as the magistrate of a large county and the promise of high quality from a descendant of the Xie family, Xie Shang agreed without even thinking about it.

This is a political transaction.

As the saying goes, there are gains and losses.

What he got was an official position and the hope for the future of the family's children.

What was lost was Zhao Yue's friendship.

After all, in the future, after Zhao Yue finds out that he is being used by Xie Shang, there will be trouble if this friendship can continue.

certainly...

Now that Zhao Yue has seen through his tricks, these things don't matter anymore.

Anyway, he can no longer get the benefits given to him by the Langya Wang Family.

Even the husband of the Zhao family no longer associates with him.

But so what?

At least I gained peace of mind.

This feeling of peace of mind may be what Ruan Fu feels now, and it is also the inner state that the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest are pursuing?

For a moment, Xie Shang really wanted to be like Ruan Fu, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, and be a hermit, without having to worry about this damn thing.

However...

This thought only occurred for a moment.

Ruan Fu's reputation as a hermit was due to the legacy left by his father, Ruan Xian, the prefect of Shiping.

And he, Ruan Xian, is not burdened by his family.

Thinking of his father Xie Kun's instructions to him before his death, Xie Shang knew in his heart that he would never be a hermit in his life.

He has the Xie family of Chenjun on his back. He is not a loner, nor can he be a loner.

"Situ did tell me the benefits for you. I won't tell you now. I just think the benefits are too fake."

"Too fake?"

Zhao Yue was stunned for a moment. Even he, the lobbyist, told lies. So how outrageous is this benefit?

"Situ said that he will accept you as his disciple. You will be his disciple in the future, and your reputation and legacy will be given to you."

"hehe."

Zhao Yue shook his head, smiled, and said: "This reason is really fake."

Generally speaking, those who are disciples of the lineage must at least learn the skills of the teacher before they can be called disciples of the lineage.

and...

How could the Langya Wang family give Director Wang’s legacy to you, Zhao Yue?

Is it my Langya Wang family that has no one?

You know, Director Wang's reputation and the legacy that Director Wang left behind, how huge a legacy must it be?

Social network, reputation, book collection, symbolic meaning...

This is something that the Langya Wang family will not and cannot give. Even if Zhao Yue becomes Director Wang's disciple, Director Wang is willing to give his inheritance to Zhao Yue.

How much can Zhao Yue take?

It is estimated that only Director Wang himself believed this reason.

"So, it's better not to say this reason."

Qiu Ju stepped forward to pour tea, but Xie Shang snatched the teapot away, put the teapot in his mouth and started drinking.

"Ah~"

"Although it's not a fine wine, it tastes pretty good."

"Then what are Brother Injo's plans?"

"Intend?"

Xie Shang gave a wry smile and said, "What's the plan? Just take it one step at a time. If this lobbyist fails today, I will definitely not be able to get the benefits of his Langya Wang family. I hope I won't offend his Langya Wang family."

"

"What benefits did he promise you?"

Xie Shang glanced at Zhao Yue with a very open-minded expression.

"It's not something that can't be said. The position of a big county and the promise of high-quality children in the family."

"Your father is the governor of Yuzhang, and Yuzhang is a large county. Don't you even ask for the position of county magistrate?"

Xie Shang smiled awkwardly and said: "Then you have to find a relationship with my father. Use a little less of favors. Use it as much as possible. Besides, I am still young and have insufficient resume. Even if I find a relationship, I have to use it less.

It would probably be very difficult to find a large county to serve as the magistrate and accumulate political achievements."

"If you don't enter the palace and become a man, you can wait a few years and become the magistrate of a large county."

"Now that the situation is like this, I should become the county magistrate and take over some authority. If things change, I might not be able to make meritorious deeds."

This Xie Shang...

It does have some sharp eyesight.

Whether it is Xie Shang or the Xie family of Chenjun, they are both worthy of investment.

Zhao Yue thought for a moment and a smile appeared on his face.

"Actually... I promised the Langya Wang family that it's not impossible to attend his banquet."

"ah?"

Xie Shang's expression changed.

"Mr. Sir, you don't have to take risks for me."

Zhao Yue waved his hand and chuckled: "With a little effort, Brother Renzu will have less trouble. So what if I take some risks?"

This favor from Xie Shang is still worth earning and will come in handy in the future.

Furthermore...

Zhao Yue's marriage to the banquet was not entirely for Xie Shang.

The invitations from the Langya Wang family have been sent to Yu Liang for several days, but he still has no expression at all.

This Yu Liang also needs to be reminded.
