Chapter 634 Admitting that Others Are Better Than You
Chapter 634: Admit that others are better than you
But Xu Xiaolangjun insisted, because he didn't have any clues yet, so Xu Xiaolangjun couldn't say much in front of his third brother-in-law. He was very anxious while waiting.
When the young couple is at home, Mrs. Jiang Liu will be by Jiang Changxi's side. The well-behaved little daughter-in-law is particularly lovable.
When the younger sisters from the Li family came over, they all lamented that seeing Sister Jiang with such a sister beside her made her a little anxious. She felt that her position was a bit worrying.
The little beauties like flowers and jade competed for favor, which made Jiang Changxi burst into laughter.
Jiang Changxi realized that life as a concubine's wife was not bad. As long as there were no fools like Mrs. Jiang to interfere with her, it turned out that the two women could live in such harmony.
Moreover, Jiang Changxi and Lady Jiang Six took a step ahead of Zhou Lan and Xu Xiaolangjun. As the wives of Jinshi and officials, they were expected to entertain each other.
The two sisters have already started to contact the ladies of Jinshi in this department. Madam diplomacy has been well established.
At the beginning, it was just a small gathering of three or five people. By the time the official position was about to come down, it had become a gathering of seven, eight, or more than a dozen people.
Grandma Zhou was not the most beautiful among these Jinshi ladies, but she was still outstanding.
Firstly, Zhou Jinshi is somewhat famous, and secondly, the girl in the house is good at cooking. These two points make people always pay attention to Mrs. Zhou Jinshi.
Li Langjun put down his wine glass and clasped his fists at Zhou Lan: "Listening to what you said, I feel extremely ashamed for my brother."
Regardless of whether it is connections or favors, they are accumulated from generation to generation, and they are not obtained for free.
I started as a seventh-grade county government deputy, and I also had to practice for a period of time. To be honest, the official position is not high, but the place is good.
Li Langjun became more and more aware of the gap between himself and Zhou Lan.
Everyone's situation is different. If you are unhappy because others are more capable than you, then Brother Li will probably have a hard time in his life.
Zhou Lan just drank with Li Langjun and didn't say much about Li Langjun's complaints.
At the same time, he was also convinced that Zhou Xiandi was younger than him, but he could see clearly better than him. He was not as good as Zhou Xiandi.
The key is that when you have too much time to take care of yourself, you can't use your strength. Li Langjun was really shocked.
Li Langjun: "It's a pity that since I arrived in the capital, I have been busy camping out and thinking that I am self-righteous. I am afraid that my dear brother will see the joke."
Li Langjun took a sip of wine: "Brother Xian is right, I can't let my descendants run into obstacles like me. I have to work hard to make progress so that my descendants can have something to rely on."
Li Langjun is not a top talent. He cannot be the top one. There will always be people who are more capable than him in this life. Does he have to keep complaining about injustice?
I wonder if Mr. Xu Xiaolang would be excited if he heard what the third brother-in-law said. He was so affirmed by the third brother-in-law.
Li Langjun also reflected on himself.
The most important thing is that he is benevolent and benevolent. If the third brother-in-law plans well, he will be very close to the third brother-in-law. When they are resting, the brothers-in-law can talk together.
Moreover, he is not the leader, but his deputy, so it is not his turn to be in trouble.
So what do you have to complain about? What about connections? People can only be reused if they are outstanding and capable.
At this time, we can see what a network is. He has made so many friends, but at critical times, they all seek their own future. No one can make plans for him.
Xu Xiaolangjun was very happy, mainly because the place was good and it was only half a day's journey from the capital. It was very convenient to meet with his third brother-in-law for advice whenever he wanted.
Zhou Lan continued: "He is the only son in the sixth brother-in-law's house. He may have cousins, but they are not close to each other. The sixth brother-in-law has been in contact with the general servants in the sixth brother-in-law's house since he was a child. He is humble and courteous in his dealings with others, and he is worldly and understanding.
.The sixth brother-in-law and Brother Li are also familiar with each other, but have you ever seen the sixth brother-in-law and the same people have bad relations with each other?"
Li Langjun shook his head. He was too shallow to see these shining points in Xu Xiaolangjun. He had to admit that this humble Xu Xiaolangjun was such a transparent person.
This was another level that Li Langjun couldn't reach. He was a little jealous, but also a little convinced. He didn't have what Xu Xiaolangjun had.
Li Langjun became more and more anxious when he saw that Xu Xiaolangjun could get such a place.
Doesn't that mean he should be more cautious from the time he was reincarnated?
Li Langjun nodded. There is nothing controversial about this. There is no doubt about the scientific examination to obtain a scholar.
Zhou Lan: "Brother Li's words are biased. Brother Li's current connections will not be a blessing to the juniors in the family in the future."
Xu Xiaolangjun was happy and relaxed as he was sent away by a group of friends to take up his post.
Then the moment that everyone was looking forward to came. First, the official position near the capital that Xu Xiaolangjun had planned for came.
Then he said: "The scholars who can be ranked as Jinshi are all people with good knowledge. Brother Li should not deny it."
Therefore, the two sisters were quite generous when someone said something mean to them at a party. This did not mean that their reputations suddenly improved.
But Xu Xiaolangjun doesn't think about this at all. With his third brother-in-law, third uncle, and Mr. Tong here, what should he be afraid of?
Then he said: "I am brother-in-law with Xu Langjun. What I say may be biased. It is up to Langjun to decide whether to listen or not."
Zhou Lan spoke again: "I heard that my sixth brother-in-law works at the yamen gate in his spare time. He has been exposed to the rules and work procedures of the yamen gate early."
So when Li Langjun came to see Zhou Lan for a drink, he looked depressed and expressed his displeasure about it.
Zhou Lan felt that Brother Li was a bit extreme in his thinking, so he said: "Although people say that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, Brother Li is a role model for our generation."
It was so easy for Xu Xiaolangjun to get an official position because he had connections in his family and had traveled around a lot.
The sixth wife of the Jiang family was left in the capital, and Xu Xiaolangjun was asked to go to the place and settle down before picking up his wife. After all, the distance was really not far, so it was very casual.
The bad thing is that it is difficult to be an official in the capital, and it is even more difficult to be a local official closer to the capital.
Of course, the wives of the two Jinshis are indeed young, but the Jiang sisters are good at conversation, good etiquette, and good at observing rules. They are very outstanding among a group of ladies. Especially those who have accompanied their husbands to study hard for decades.
In front of the Jinshi ladies who came over, their youth made people jealous.
Zhou Lan: "So, as for the whereabouts of my sixth brother-in-law, I can only say that the superior officers know people well and do their jobs well."
Zhou Lan: "Brother Li, just don't mind me talking too much. If you ask me, my brother-in-law is a proper Jinshi. If he hadn't found a position closer to the capital and was placed in a state capital farther away, even if
It’s unfair to be a county magistrate.”
Li Langjun was ashamed. He was a real Jinshi and was qualified to govern a county: "That's true."
After all, those scholars who stop at being a master can become county magistrates if they move around.
Li Langjun said sincerely: "Brother is so narrow-minded. He is not good enough and yet he is jealous of other people's abilities."
