Jiang Yongnian took a sip of wine and then said: "In Zhiling County, a lower county of Nandu Prefecture in Xidu, I was appointed as the county magistrate."
"Xidu?" Su Yizhao frowned, "The salt gangs in Xidu are rampant. Although they have been severely rectified in the past two years, those who take risks have endless methods. As long as there are huge profits, it is impossible to eradicate them."
"The Western Capital is too dangerous, why would you go here to find a job?" Su Yizhao was shocked. She did not expect Jiang Yongnian to go to the Western Capital.
"Is this the position Mr. Jiang has arranged for you?" Su Yizhao couldn't believe it. Jiang Yongnian was the eldest grandson of the eldest family member. What if something went wrong?
Jiang Yongnian shook his head, "No! I insist on it. When my grandfather found out, he became very angry and even asked for sick leave in the morning yesterday."
Su Yizhao was speechless. After a moment, he said: "Is this your ambition? Since we have become officials, we are not qualified to be willful. We should put family first in everything."
She didn't think this was Jiang Yongnian's sincerity. She wanted to know what happened to Jiang Yongnian in the past two years, and how could he become so thorough?
This is not his style at all. Could it be that he is in a rebellious phase?
Jiang Yongnian is nineteen years old this year. Because he was admitted as a Jinshi, his family held a coronation ceremony for him in advance and named him Zichen.
After entering the crown ceremony, you become an adult. Similar to the adulthood in the previous life, you still have to put your family first.
Jiang Yongnian moved his lips, "I want to make some political achievements. Although Xidu is dangerous, there are great opportunities. I want to give it a try."
He glanced at Su Yizhao, then took a sip of wine.
He couldn't say it, and he didn't dare to say it.
In fact, he did this just to stay away from Su Yizhao. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself, so he felt that by staying away from Su Yizhao, he could return to the right path.
For so many years, there was nowhere to describe the pain in his heart, which made him miserable.
He was so frightened that he hid away for more than a year when his family urged him to get married and promised to marry him. When he came back and took the exam this time, he planned to find an official position outside the country.
In this way, the family can't force the marriage, and he doesn't have to face Su Yizhao anymore.
He spurned himself and hated himself for having such dirty thoughts towards his best friend.
But as soon as he returned to the capital, his heart inevitably flew to Su Yizhao. He wanted to see Su Yizhao, and he wanted to see him all the time.
In order to suppress his thoughts, he studied hard and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his career.
However, as soon as he saw Su Yizhao, his previous efforts would be in vain.
Everyone has his own ambitions! Su Yizhao couldn't say much.
"Actually, I have always felt that good men have ambitions everywhere. Since you have such lofty ambitions, I still support you. But your relatives at home still need to be enlightened. It is normal for them to be sad, but they are reluctant to let you go to such a far away place.
."
Jiang Yongnian nodded. Once he takes office, he will not be able to return to Beijing for three years.
If he stays in office, I don't know when the two of them will meet.
By then, Su Yizhao must have been married and had children, so he should be able to let it go, right?
"A cousin of mine served as the prefect of Nandu Prefecture before, and was later promoted to Luding Province. He is currently the deputy envoy of the Prosecution and Prosecution Department. However, the current prefect and his cousin are in the same year, so they still have some friendship. I will write a letter tomorrow.
Ask him to ask the same year to take care of you."
Su Yizhao is talking about Su Wenguang. In the previous salt gang case, Su Wenguang's profit was all due to Su Yizhao.
Later, when his term came to an end, he was transferred to Luding Province for his meritorious service in investigating the Salt Gang case. Now he is a fourth-rank deputy envoy of the Prosecution and Prosecution Commission.
Su Wenguang, who had stayed in office for many years, was finally promoted, which made the second old man and Su Wenguang extremely grateful to the direct descendants of the capital and Su Yizhao.
As long as Su Yizhao writes the letter, the other party will definitely agree to it and there will be no shirk.
"My uncle is also a co-president of Qinnan Prefecture, and is a neighbor of Nandu Prefecture. If anything happens, you can call on my uncle. I will send you a letter back and ask him to take care of you."
Jiang Yongnian shook his head and laughed, "It doesn't have to be like this! I'm going to take office. After all, I'm a seventh-grade official. Does anyone dare to look down on me?"
"You come from the Jiang family in the capital. Naturally, no one dares to look down upon you. However, there are people in the court who like to be officials. They have always been like this. When you take office, you will understand. Don't act like a scholar when you are away from home. As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to meet.
The kid is tough."
Su Yizhao poured a glass of wine for Jiang Yongnian as he spoke, "Don't underestimate those with low status. Sometimes you will suffer in the hands of such people."
In fact, what Su Yizhao didn't make clear was that the Jiang family today is no longer the Jiang family it used to be.
It turns out that the old man of the Jiang family is the father-in-law of the prince. Who in the court would not fawn over him?
But now that the crown prince has been deposed, if the emperor had not shown mercy and Mr. Jiang had retained the position of left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Jiang family would have been in ruins.
Just like this, the Jiang family's power in the capital has been reduced by more than half in the past two years and has declined.
Su Yizhao was afraid that Jiang Yongnian would be embarrassed by those people when he took office. After all, the capital was too far away from Nandu, and even Mr. Jiang couldn't reach it!
"Are you afraid that I will be hurt after being ridiculed by those people despite my arrogance as a young master from a noble family?"
Jiang Yongnian smiled, "I am no longer the young master from an aristocratic family who was ignorant of the world. I have seen all kinds of things in the world and all kinds of joys and sorrows during my travels. How can I still not understand these principles?"
"What's more, today's Jiang family is no longer what it was back then. Being a person with your tail between your legs is the current Jiang family's attitude towards life."
He said with a self-deprecating smile. Su Yizhao was right, he was not qualified to be willful.
To stay away from Su Yizhao, he had other options, but he still chose Xidu just to revitalize his family.
Jiang Yongnian picked up the wine glass and said, "We say goodbye today, but I don't know when we will see each other again. I will leave the day after tomorrow. You don't have to come to see me off. I'm afraid I won't be able to part with you."
He looked deeply at Su Yizhao, not that he had never thought of showing his feelings, but this was not tolerated by the world, and he did not want to bring trouble to Su Yizhao.
What's more, he could see that Su Yizhao only regarded him as a good friend.
"Leaving the day after tomorrow?" Su Yizhao was a little reluctant. Jiang Yunshou was her only friend in Dayun Dynasty.
Well! Now Zong Zeming is considered one! They should be considered friends.
"I have to see you off. No matter how reluctant I am to leave you, how can I not see you off when you are about to leave?"
Su Yizhao was also a little sad. He didn't expect that this meal would become a parting drink.
The two drank up the two jars of wine, chatting and talking about their plans for the future.
"Isn't your family planning to marry you? How can you get married if you leave?" Su Yizhao was a little curious, so he asked.
Jiang Yongnian looked at Su Yizhao, who was obviously drunk. Because of his drunkenness, his cheeks were dyed red, which made his beautiful eyebrows look particularly good-looking.
"Of course I won't get married. Let's talk about it later! What about you? You are also sixteen, why didn't your family say goodbye to you?" Jiang Yongnian asked tentatively.
