Gong Jian had only met Zhao Rong once, but he still remembered the child. Among other things, Zhao Rong's clear eyes were indeed impressive. It was because those smart eyes were so clear.
One glance at the bottom of his eyes gave Gong Jian a very good impression of Zhao Rong.
Coupled with what his second brother has said these days, Gong Jian actually has a better understanding of Zhao Rong and is more sympathetic to his various experiences in the Zhao family.
If this were not the case, Gong Jian's first reaction when he realized something was wrong would be to tell the matter directly to his second brother. Of course he already knew that, based on the friendship between his second brother and Zhao Rong, he
Telling this matter to your second brother is tantamount to making this matter clear.
Just seeing how much his second brother values Zhao Rong, you know that if the second brother knows that Zhao Rong is in a disadvantageous situation, he will definitely try every means to pass the news to Zhao Rong, and do his best to help Zhao Rong. And
These were all things Gong Jian had predicted long ago.
It can be said that Gong Jian has been busy with this matter these days, trying every possible means to get to know those people. He hopes that when they confront the Zhao family in the future, they can get some help from these students.
Add some weight on his side. He actually does these things for his second brother.
And just now, after reading the letter from Zhao Rong, Gong Jian regarded Zhao Rong as more important. Now he is doing this not only for his second brother, but also for the one with whom he is related.
My second brother is such a close-knit, upright young man with clear eyes.
"Second brother, anyway, tomorrow is the day when the results will be released. Let's wait for now and the results will come out tomorrow. If I am lucky enough to win the election, I will be more sure of this matter. After all, people can be officials.
.So the Zhao family may look down on me as a small candidate, but now that they have a certain amount of power, and no one from the Zhao family has been an official in the past few generations, they may still be a little wary of my opinions as a candidate.
"
Seeing that Gong Yu's mood had calmed down, Gong Jian began to explain to him his analysis just now: "And if by any chance, I fail to win..."
Gong Jian raised his hand to signal his second brother not to interrupt, because as soon as he said these words, Gong Yu was already anxious to refute.
Gong Yu never thought that his eldest brother would not win the election at all. So he did not agree with what his eldest brother just said. He couldn't hear his speculation about failing. But seeing his eldest brother's actions, Gong Yu opened his mouth.
But he didn't say anything out loud, he could only wait quietly for his eldest brother to finish what he said.
"Don't worry yet, this possibility must still exist." Gong Jian was still somewhat calm and continued to explain his speculation.
"If I fail to pass the exam, then I can only hope that the two or three students from the county where the Zhao family is located can pass the exam. After all, I have tried my best to get along well with them in the past two days. And
If we offer some heavy gifts in the future, I think they might be willing to stand on our side and say a few words for us when we confront the Zhao family. At that time, the Zhao family will also take care of our side.
The power of."
After hearing Gong Jian's words, Gong Yu certainly didn't think that his eldest brother would lose the election. In fact, if his eldest brother hadn't stretched out his hand to stop him from speaking, he would have retorted loudly.
Even if he is the eldest brother, he does not want his eldest brother to say the kind of words that may lead to defeat. After all, in his heart, his eldest brother is omnipotent. But after listening to the words behind his eldest brother, Gong Yu really felt that he had just
It's better not to interrupt.
His eldest brother is here, seriously considering all the possibilities of this matter. Although in Gong Yu's heart, the possibility of his eldest brother failing the exam is very slim. Then he cannot directly say for sure that there is no such possibility. After all, he is not an examiner.
, it’s not that all this has to wait until the results are released tomorrow to have a result.
Originally, Gong Yu thought that this was the worst case scenario, but he did not expect that what his elder brother said next would turn out to be an even worse situation.
"Of course, if not only I fail to pass the exam, but also the two or three students from the county where the Zhao family lives fail to pass the exam, then we still have a way to go."
Gong Yu, who was listening to his eldest brother's words, was dumbfounded. He really had never thought about his eldest brother, but he actually thought about it so much. Even if all of them failed to win, they were still under the assumption that they were just talented people.
But as soon as this idea came out, Gong Yu felt a sense of despair. If, as the elder brother suspected, everyone failed to win, then their strength is simply not enough.
You must know that during the few days he spent with Zhao Rong, the information about the Zhao family that Zhao Rong brought out privately or unintentionally allowed Gong Yu to realize that the Zhao family was still very financially strong.
I heard from Zhao Rong that his living conditions since childhood were very good, and Zhao Rong is even more picky. The food he eats is exquisite, and even the daily expenses in his small kitchen are probably average enough.
Ordinary people spend a month.
But even so, Zhao Rong still felt that it was nothing. In Zhao Rong's words, the cost of decorating his parents' yard and the small kitchen in his grandmother's yard were several times more than what he had here.
After listening to Zhao Rong's words, Gong Yu just felt that Zhao Rong's family was really wealthy. At least the cost of raising children was not small. Later, when he heard that the salesman came back, he reported to them.
Gong Yu realized that the head of the Zhao family was prodigal outside, and it turned out that the real prodigal son of the Zhao family was Zhao Rong's father.
When I think of what the salesman mentioned, the head of the Zhao family spends money lavishly every day, raising a group of so-called scholars who only flatter him, and there are also scammers who come to visit him all the time.
The head of the Zhao family can be said to be generous with his money, spending tens of thousands and tens of thousands of taels of money at a time.
Just like this, no one in the Zhao family said a word. They just followed the Zhao family leader's wishes and scattered money every day. No one stood up or even reminded them.
In this way, Gong Yu once again realized how huge the Zhao family's property was. Although this, it also proved from the side that the reason why Zhao Rong was treated by various conspiracies may be because of his status as the legitimate son, for the sake of the next generation.
The status of the head of the Zhao family. But it also proved the strength of the Zhao family, and also made Gong Yu's evaluation of the Zhao family higher and higher. (To be continued)
