At this time, it can be said that everyone is happy among the four major families in Jinling.
No matter whether it is the powerful boss of the direct lineage or the people of the side clan, they have not experienced such a prosperous atmosphere for a long time.
It seems that I have seen the scenery of the four major families in Jinling in their heyday.
At that time, the four major families dominated the court, and it was not uncommon for clan members to enter the officialdom and struggle at every level.
I am used to the scenery at the top, and I am not willing to climb from low to high even on the side branches.
This is also the main reason why the four major families in Jinling did not place their clan members everywhere in the officialdom when they were at their most prosperous.
Unfortunately, that's how it was. When the pillars of the four major families passed away one after another, there was no successor, and the momentum of the four major families plummeted.
Don't look at the guard talisman over there in Jinling City, it's just a joke.
Most of the top nobles who founded the country came from the south. Although most of them were not from Jinling, it would be a joke to say that they had no power in Jinling.
After all, just like the pre-Ming Dynasty, during the Taizu period of the Qian Dynasty, the capital of the empire was Jinling, where it could be said that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
In terms of power, the Zhen family alone is much more prominent than the four major families in Jinling combined.
At present, the four major families in Jinling have joined forces to make a lot of money in Jinmen.
As a result, Wang Ziteng's Taoist position became more stable, a disciple of the Shi family got the position of deputy water transport envoy, and Uncle Xue successfully entered the officialdom.
The most outstanding son of the Jia family is about to become the warehouse envoy of the Caoyun Yamen.
Such a situation naturally makes the older members of the four major families seem to have seen the scenery of their families in their heyday.
After all, at this time, as long as the tribesmen have some ability and ambition, they can successfully enter the officialdom. How similar is this to the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China?
Of course, Jia Rong and other family leaders still know that the current four major families are far from their heyday, and they have not been dazzled by the temporary victory.
For no other reason, except for Lin Ruhai, the son-in-law, among the four major families in Jinling, none of the other family bosses has an official rank that has reached the level of a third-rank official.
Under such circumstances, if you are arrogant and don't know why, you will really be laughed at by others.
Of course, it is obviously impossible to say that everyone in the four major families is happy.
No, Aunt Xue's mood is quite complicated.
She never expected that Second Uncle Xue would join the other three families and become an official.
Although the official position of the ninth grade is not worth mentioning, the future is still relatively good, which makes Aunt Xue feel complicated.
You must know that the ancestor of the Xue family was given the title of 'Ziwei Sheren', which was only a seventh-grade title.
Such titles were gone in the second generation, and the Xue family became serious imperial merchants.
The children of the Xue family naturally want to restore the glory of their ancestors, but again, with the wealth of the Xue family, there is no problem in entering the officialdom, but it is difficult to sit firmly.
If it's not good enough, it will become the pocketbook of some veteran officials.
But if there is a real and powerful official position that can be secured, the motivated children of the Xue family will never give up easily.
This time, what happened to Uncle Xue was proof, but Aunt Xue was caught off guard.
After hearing the news, you don’t know whether to be happy or sad?
In the past two days, the atmosphere in the Xue family's old residence in the capital has been a little subtle.
Uncle Xue did not show any surprises. When he met Aunt Xue, he was still respectful and did not dare to be careless at all.
But Aunt Xue just felt unhappy, there was always a way that Uncle Xue succeeded in stealing the chicken.
The stolen chicken belonged to their direct descendant.
That's not bad. After all, Uncle Xue was able to participate in the Jinmen incident because Aunt Xue and the others took the initiative to help.
Otherwise, how could Second Uncle Xue know all the big bosses of the four major families in Jinling?
However, Aunt Xue didn't have the shame to use such excuses to find trouble.
Who wants his son Xue Pan to fail? If he wants to keep up with the other three families, he must ask Uncle Xue to take charge of the overall situation, otherwise the situation will probably be quite bad.
As if he knew the mood of his elder sister-in-law, Aunt Xue, Uncle Xue quickly found a reason and went directly to Jinmen to take up his post.
As for Uncle Xue's daughter-in-law, her health is not very good. She stays in her house all day long and does not go out. Aunt Xue cannot disturb her at will.
As for the two younger ones, Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin, one is currently studying at the Jia Family School and the other is studying at the Ningfu Girls' School. Naturally, it is even harder to cause trouble for them.
This is something that really cannot be said, at least not to outsiders, otherwise it will really become a joke.
Aunt Xue was depressed, but she had no intention of telling Mrs. Wang the inside story.
She was not afraid that Mrs. Wang would tell her, but she was worried that Mrs. Wang would look down on them, mother and son.
Xue Baochai noticed Aunt Xue's mood immediately.
With his shrewdness, he naturally knew what was going on very quickly.
After school that day, Xue Baochai returned to her old house and found Aunt Xue immediately.
Although Aunt Xue looked very normal at this time, as a daughter, how could Xue Baochai not feel the slightest trace of depression?
"Mom, are you still depressed about your second uncle?"
Xue Baochai asked funnyly while sitting next to Aunt Xue.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Aunt Xue said angrily: "I'm wondering if you should let your brother learn from the Jia family. After all, he is not a student!"
"If the opportunity is right, I will give your brother an official position. I believe your uncle is still capable of this!"
"Mother, you must not do this!"
Xue Baochai was startled and hurriedly persuaded: "Brother, it is much better to stay in the Jia Family School than outside!"
"How is that possible?"
Aunt Xue didn't believe it, she frowned and said, "Your brother has been doing nothing in the clan school all day long. Is it possible that this is some good thing?"
"Mom, even if my brother doesn't go to the Jia family to study, is it possible that he can really go out to do business?"
Xue Baochai said amusedly: "With my brother's temperament, can you rest assured?"
Aunt Xue was speechless for a moment, she was really worried.
"Mom, my brother studied in the Jia family and made many friends, which has been very helpful to our Xue family's business!"
Xue Baochai explained: "Our Xue family's business is on the right track. There are stewards and shopkeepers everywhere to deal with it. It doesn't matter whether my brother shows up or not!"
Seeing that Aunt Xue's expression was a bit off, she hurriedly said: "On the contrary, what brother needs to do is to make more connections. As long as he can control the stewards and shopkeepers everywhere, there will be no problems with the Xue family's industry!"
|What you say makes sense!
Aunt Xue said in a deep voice: "But if your brother doesn't go out to study, how can he possibly become an official..."
