After Xiong Ting finished speaking, he didn't even have the strength to support himself and collapsed on the ground.
After hearing this, Xiong Shi was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into hearty laughter.
"Hahaha, okay, uncle really did not misjudge you."
Xiong Shi stood up and helped Xiong Ting up.
"Uncle, what are you doing?" At this time, Xiong Ting still looked confused, not knowing what was going on.
Xiong Shi smiled and explained: "When I asked you to leave the Baochao Lifting Department, I wanted to transfer you to another place to work. I didn't mean to make you lose this job. Why are you so solemn?
"
Xiong Ting just couldn't pass the exam, but it didn't mean there was something wrong with his IQ. At this time, he still didn't understand that his uncle was deliberately testing him.
He smiled bitterly and asked: "Uncle, what are you going to do? My nephew was really scared to death by you just now."
Xiong Shi didn't hide it. He was testing Xiong Ting just now. Although he didn't know what the real situation was, he could feel it from Han Du's words. This matter was no small matter.
Just in case, Xiong Shi naturally wanted to test Xiong Ting, and Xiong Ting's performance satisfied Xiong Shi. Being able to give up such a good job as a treasure bank clerk just because of his own words shows that Xiong Ting can
He is a person who repays his kindness and is also a trustworthy person.
"Why, you can't bear to take this job?" Xiong Shi asked jokingly with a smile.
Hearing this, Xiong Ting's wry smile became even stronger, and he whispered, "How can I give up such a good job?"
He raised his head and looked at his uncle and sighed: "To be honest with you, when my nephew nodded in agreement, his eyes were full of the eyes of his parents, wife and children looking at him with smiles. At that time, my nephew didn't know that after he returned,
How to face them."
When Xiong Ting nodded and agreed, he was really heartbroken. If he hadn't been supported by the idea of "repaying a drop of water with a spring of kindness", he really wouldn't have been able to say the words.
Xiong Shi patted his nephew on the shoulder and comforted him: "Okay, it's all over."
Then he sat down opposite Xiong Ting, picked up the tea cup and took a sip before continuing: "Don't blame your uncle for testing you. This matter is really not a trivial matter."
"Uncle, what do you want me to do?" Seeing his uncle's solemn words, Xiong Ting asked puzzledly. After asking, he added, "Uncle, my nephew has said it first. My nephew can give up the errand of Baoqian Lisi.
But my nephew will not do anything illegal."
Xiong Ting has parents, wife and children, and he just wants to live a stable life. Of course, if his income can be higher and his family can live a better life while living such a life, then Xiong Ting will not
Refuse. But he will not do anything illegal or disciplinary, even if his uncle is kind to him.
"Don't worry, it's a good thing." Xiong Shi smiled and gave his nephew a reassurance first.
After pondering for a while, Xiong Shi continued: "Master Han Duhan, do you know?"
Xiong Ting was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "I know." Can you not know that Han Du is the Bao Chao Ti Ju Division. Xiong Ting is working in the Bao Chao Ti Ju Division, and if he doesn't even know who the current Ti Ju is,
If he doesn’t know, then he might as well go home and hold the baby.
Maybe Han Du didn't notice Xiong Ting, but Xiong Ting must know about Han Du.
"Your Excellency has a shop and is looking for a shopkeeper to look after it. I would like to recommend you to go there." Xiong Shi finally told his nephew the reason.
Be a shopkeeper?
Xiong Ting's face felt bitter. He had never thought about it, that being a shopkeeper would result in such a drop in price. This does not mean that being a shopkeeper would make less than he does now, maybe he would earn more than he does now.
.But this person, after eating and drinking without worries, will want a little respect from others.
Although he is an errand clerk in the Baochao Office, when the neighbors see him, who wouldn't call him "Sir"? If he becomes the shopkeeper, when acquaintances meet in the future, they will only call him "Shanggui Xiong"
?
Seeing his nephew's expression of embarrassment, Xiong Shi comforted him softly: "When Mr. Han told me to find someone, he always told me to find someone trustworthy. I'm thinking that this matter may not be as simple as it seems."
Seeing that his nephew was listening carefully, Xiong Shi continued.
"Uncle, I'm not young anymore. I'm lucky enough to be able to sit in my current position in the Baochao Lifting Division until my death. But you are different. You are still young and can still fight hard."
Fighting? How to fight? Does being a shopkeeper mean fighting? Besides, he is just a boy who is not even a scholar, and what he wants in his heart is actually the same as his uncle. Being able to work until death in the treasure bank transfer department is already considered a success.
Thank God, why should we fight hard?
Xiong Ting didn't understand.
Seeing that his nephew looked confused, Xiong Shi could only continue to explain: "The palace maids in the deep courtyard will become prostitutes and concubines after they are transported back; the romantic singers will become wives from time to time. Don't think that if you can't get fame, this will be like this in your life."
Now. Who can say clearly what will happen in the future?"
"Although Mr. Han's official position is small, it is only temporary. The Baochao Office will definitely become an important yamen in the future. If you can pass this time and get into Mr. Han's eyes, my uncle will still rely on you in the future."
Xiong Ting now understood what his uncle meant, and he quickly stood up and said gratefully: "My uncle is a great kindness, and my nephew will remember it in his heart, and he will not dare or forget it."
Xiong Shi waved his hand, motioning for his nephew to sit down, and sighed: "Besides, people often say that the prime minister's concierge is a seventh-rank official. But which seventh-rank official dares to be on an equal footing with the prime minister's concierge?"
Xiong Ting knew what his uncle meant. Being able to serve as a concierge to the Prime Minister was much more comfortable than being a seventh-grade official. If he could catch Han Du's eye this time, he would be able to follow Han Du's rise to prominence in the future.
At that time, whether you are an official or not, is it really that important?
Xiong Ting figured it out instantly. He said quickly: "Yes, yes, my nephew will obey his uncle's orders."
Seeing that his nephew had thought it through clearly, Xiong Shi told him carefully what Han Du had ordered, and emphasized that he should pay careful attention to every treasure note he received.
"Why, why is this?" Xiong Ting was puzzled. Since it is a business, shouldn't he, the shopkeeper, just be responsible for matching the numbers? Why should he pay attention to the treasure notes?
Xiong Shi's face suddenly became solemn, and he sighed: "Don't ask, you ask me, I don't know either. You just need to do as required. Knowing too much will not do you any good."
Seeing his uncle's expression, Xiong Ting finally understood that his uncle really didn't scare him on purpose.
