Seeing Jia Lian a little embarrassed, Dai Quan softened his expression:
"Speaking of this matter, it doesn't bother me at all.
Before my death, he came to me and said that he wanted to donate his children's future. It was an old man's offer, so I agreed at that time.
Coincidentally, there was a vacancy a few days ago, and the three-hundred-member Dragon Guards were short of two.
You also know that Captain Long is the imperial guard who protects the Forbidden Road in the inner court, and is also a fifth-grade military attache. How many people are eager to wait.
The third brother of the Marquis of Xiangyang came to me to beg me, and now he took 1,500 taels of silver and sent it to my house. For his grandfather's sake, I agreed casually.
There was still one vacancy left, and Yongxing Jiedu Governor Feng Fatty came to ask for a donation with his child. I thought about the Jia family's children, so I went back to his house and said that I already had an owner.
I specially wanted to keep this place for him, but he was kind enough to say a lot of roundabout things to me, but in the end he disliked Lieutenant Long for being a military attache and insisting on waiting for a civilian position like Tongzhi.
Tell me, what am I trying to do? Are you asking me to come back to find Fatty Feng again?"
Jia Lian secretly thought:
This old man really has a good mouth! What he says is better than what he sings. It’s just that you’re trying to fool others. How can an old man like you, Mr. Lian, be able to deceive you?
Long Jinwei, the imperial guard who protects the Forbidden Road in the inner court, is equivalent to the third-class imperial guard with a sword. It is equivalent to the emperor's personal bodyguard. It is related to the emperor's life. It has always been the emperor who personally selects the archers and horsemen and his close associates.
The best among the disciples of the world.
If you, Dai Quan, are the great butler of the Supreme Emperor, and you really become the master of the current emperor, then sooner or later the current emperor will have to cut you to pieces.
The Dragon Guard you sold is a Dragon Guard candidate guard, which is not a real vacancy at all. It cost real money, but the result is that it is supernumerary. I have to be on duty every day in the future. What use do I need it for?<
/p>
Jia Lian understood in his heart, but on the surface he was extremely polite. He stood up and bowed to Dai Quan and said:
"My nephew is here just for this matter. Why don't I first apologize to my wife for Brother Zhen?
Brother Zhen is ill, and I really can't let it go. Although the old Prime Minister is very worried, I still feel sorry for myself, so I have been specifically told to tell the old Prime Minister clearly about this matter."
Dai Quan waved his hand:
"You sit down, you sit down. I am not targeting you for this matter."
Jia Lian sat down carefully, considered his words, and then said:
"Thanks to the old uncle, I am concerned about Jia Rong's affairs. If it were an outsider, there would be no reason to be so concerned about it.
This is all because Brother Zhen didn't make it clear. He wanted to donate a future to Jia Rong, not just to make it sound better, but actually to find a place for his children to gain experience in work, not just civil or military positions.
Brother Zhen asked me to ask Shibo for his advice and see if I can find a real vacancy. Even if the position is lower, it will be a good experience for the child."
Seeing that Dai Quan's expression still didn't calm down, Jia Lian suddenly said what he had just guessed:
"To be honest, Uncle Shi, although my nephew's technique is not on the market, it has some experience.
I had a dream a few days ago. I dreamed that the red beams in my Jia family's ancestral hall were shining brightly in the middle of the night. The direction toward the palace was the brightest. It was clearly a sign that a noble person was about to be born in my family.
I thought that only the eldest lady in my family could be in the palace. I talked to Brother Zhen early this morning, and he said that if Jia Rong had been allowed to enter the palace as a guard before, there would be two of my family in the palace.<
/p>
When you hear this, does it mean that he regrets it?"
When Dai Quan heard this, he said "Ah", his eyes widened, and he said after a long while:
"God's will, God has indeed arranged everything."
It turned out that today in the palace, he learned the news that the eldest daughter of the Jia family, Yuan Chun, stayed at his bed last night, and he thought that he would be promoted to a higher rank in the near future. He was just looking for an opportunity to get closer to the Jia family, and happened to meet Jia Lian when he returned home.
That’s why I got extra close to Jia Lian.
Just now I listened to what Jia Lian said about the family's magic, and I praised this young man for being quite knowledgeable. He was determined to find an opportunity to recommend him in front of the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor had to praise himself for his insight into people.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Jia Lian said that he had dreamed of a sign of a noble person, which surprised Dai Quan - his magic was so powerful! How could the future of a person with such ability be limited?
Dai Quan is such a shrewd person. Since he can't reveal Yuanchun's bedtime affairs to the outside world, he is happy to sell his favor in advance and immediately smiles:
"As expected! As expected!
A good nephew is a person who has been blessed by his ancestors, and will definitely have a bright future in the future.
It's just that you misunderstood me. There really is a real vacancy in that Long Jinwei, but he is not in the Tai Chi Palace, but he is the guard Long Jinwei who protects the Daming Palace.
The leader of the guards, Shu Tiankui, has been a close friend of mine for many years, so I hope I can take more care of him.
If our children want to donate, please write a resume as soon as possible."
Jia Lian immediately took out a piece of red paper from his sleeve and handed it to Dai Quan with both hands.
When Dai Quan looked at it, he saw it written on it: Jia Rong, a supervisor in Jiangning County, Jiangnan Prefecture, was twenty years old. His great-grandfather was Jia Daihua, the hereditary first-class Shenwei general who was the former Jingying Jiedu envoy; his ancestor was Jia Jing, a Jinshi in Yimaoke.
;Father, Jia Zhen, a hereditary third-grade majestic general.
He returned his hand and handed it to a close boy to collect it, and said: "Immediately send it to Lao Zhao, the official of Hubu Hall, and tell him that I will pay my respects to him.
Get a ticket for a fifth-grade dragon ban captain, give me a license, fill in the resume, and I will exchange the money and send it over tomorrow."
Jia Lian quickly stood up and thanked him, but was supported by Dai Quan himself.
Jia Lian presented several banknotes with both hands. Dai Quan calculated in his mind that there were one thousand five hundred taels, so he took out two and pushed them back:
"This is not handed over to the ministry. I only charge you one thousand two hundred taels of silver from me. Who asked us to have friendship?"
After things were done, Jia Lian wanted to leave, so Dai Quan paid him to stay for dinner. Jia Lian declined, saying that he had something to do at home. When the time came, Dai Quan also gave Jia Lian a thirteen-section silver belt inlaid with jade.
Jia Lian happily returned to Dongfu and met Jia Rong face to face at the second gate.
Jia Lian grabbed him, and the two walked under a crabapple tree. Fang smiled and said:
"You're lucky, I'll take care of your business for you.
There is a real shortage of fifth-grade dragon guards in the Daming Palace, and they must be on duty on a daily basis. I have already sent a message to the head of the guards, Shu Tiankui, asking him to help you and take care of you. In the future, you can be considered to have a decent job." Jia Rong is half happy and half worried:
"Thank you, uncle! Thank you, uncle!"
I just don’t know if my father can agree to let me take a military position. He surrounds me every day, so how can he be willing to let me go outside?",
"Don't worry, with me here, nothing will be impossible.
But you, it’s easy to have this future, so don’t delay it.”
The uncle and nephew talked so affectionately that Jia Rong already regarded Jia Lian as a close person, so she said:
"There is nothing better than a second uncle to a nephew.
My nephew has a private matter here. After thinking about it, it’s better to tell my second uncle.”
Jia Lian smiled and asked what was going on. Jia Rong hesitated again and again, but still said:
"It's aunt... Aunt has something going on, and she's going behind my uncle's back..."
