Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 10

Why Jia Liu is in a hurry, because this question can determine the fate of a person, and this person is He Shen.

Through the rough description of Heshen's life resume by his second brother-in-law Gao Delu, and the fact that this guy just married Yinglian's granddaughter, Jia Liu came to a conclusion that Heshen is still close to becoming Heshen, or that He Zhongtang is on the eve of taking off in his life.

Knowing this, what should Jia Liu do?
If it wasn't during the Qianlong Dynasty, but in [-] and met a young man with a strange skeleton in Hangzhou, what would he do?
Of course, it’s chopping the chicken head and burning the yellow paper. Friends will walk together for a lifetime, or support, support, or give away, and use the king’s luck to soar to the nine heavens.

Of course, it is definitely impossible to take the lead with Heshen. After all, he is a Manchurian banner man, but he Jia Liu is a Han army bannerman who is about to go out.

It is destined that the two cannot have close contacts.

However, Jia Liu can give Heshen a great favor, so that this Heshen bodyguard can reach the pinnacle of life from now on.

What kind of favor?
This is the question I just asked my brother-in-law.

A finishing touch requires not only the feet, but also the ball.

What Qianlong originally said, Jia Liu really can't remember, but he vaguely remembers that this question has something to do with animals, jade boxes, etc., and then it involves the responsibility of the custodian.

It was because He Shen answered Qianlong's question correctly that he rose from a humble person to a behemoth in the middle and late Qianlong court.

Now, Jia Liu is going to figure out this problem thoroughly, and then inadvertently reveal it in the process of meeting with He Shen tomorrow.

In this way, Heshen's prosperity based on his own ability would be credited to Jia Liu, and Heshen's promotion speed after his fortune was really shockingly fast, and he became a court official in his twenties , and continued this power and wealth until Qianlong saw God.

In other words, Comrade Jia Liu wanted to be an official and a high-ranking official in the following Qianlong period. No matter how hard he tried, he might not be able to reach the height of Heshen.

There is no way, who will let others be really Manchuria.

Unless Jia Liu's wings are hardened and he feels that he can wrestle with the Qing court, otherwise he has to build a good relationship with Heshen honestly, so that He Zhongtang will become a booster for him to climb up, not a resistance.

So, what relationship can be more realistic and rewarding than letting He Shen fly to Huang Tengda!

There are many things wrong with He Shen, but one thing is good, and that is to repay kindness.

Earlier, the second brother-in-law Gao Delu said that his father, Gao Wenju, admired Heshen for some reason, and borrowed 300 taels from Heshen without interest. The best investment the family has made in generations.

Regardless of whether the Jia family's raising of the flag can be stopped, Jia Liu is going to seek officialdom.Whether he is a bannerman or not, the current situation of his Jia family certainly cannot provide Jia Liu with better "progressive" conditions, and he cannot even enter the officialdom.

If he can't be an official, what can Jia Liu do?
Go to the countryside to farm, go to the city to pick up big shit?
So pulling Heshen now is pulling him, Jia Liu himself.Anyway, just one sentence, no matter what happens in the future, it is definitely right to trap He Shen first.

The eldest brother-in-law here didn't understand what the brother-in-law said at the first time.

"That's right, hey. Anyway, it's what the saint said."

Jia Liu racked his brains and couldn't think of what Qianlong said.This cannot be blamed on him, no matter in the past life or in this life, he has never read the Four Books and Five Classics, so where can he recall the words of the sages related to animals.

"Ok?"

Seeing that his brother-in-law's forehead was about to sweat, Wang Zhi'an was really surprised. This was the first time he saw his brother-in-law asking for advice so seriously.

At the moment, he also recognized the truth, since the sage said, he must have learned it, so he carefully pondered what the brother-in-law said about the beasts destroying things, and whose responsibility came from where.

He seemed to think of something, but he couldn't be sure, so he hesitated and said: "Liu Zi, could it be that you said that the tiger's mouth came out of the box, and the tortoise jade was destroyed in the box?"

"Hey, yes!"

Jia Liu almost gnawed on his eldest brother-in-law in his arms: Yes, absolutely, that's what Qianlong said!
After being overjoyed, he still had an open-minded look on his face asking for advice: "Brother-in-law, what does the sage mean by these words?"

"This,"

When it comes to the "professional" field of the eldest brother-in-law, it's obvious.

"This statement comes from "The Analects of Confucius Ji Shi Pian", which means that the sage compares Ji to a tiger and compares Zhuanyu to a turtle jade. Then the sage thinks that Ji's attacking Zhuanyu is like a tiger running from a cage Come out to hurt people; if Zhuanyu is attacked and destroyed by the Ji family in Lu State, it is like a turtle jade being destroyed in a box."

Tiger, of course, is a tiger; 兕, is a rhinoceros; 柙, a wooden cage for wild animals; 椟, refers to a box.

As for Zhuanyu, it is the name of an ancient country.

Ji's, Lu Guo also.

After finishing speaking, Wang Zhi'an shook his head leisurely, and said: "The sage's words mean that the Ji clan is greedy and violent, and that his attack on Zhuanyu is purely senseless."

"Oh oh oh."

Jia Liuyi said "Oh" three times in a row, but he thought in his heart why the elder brother-in-law's answer is different from what I want, so what is the responsibility?

Just wondering if it was a split, the eldest brother-in-law coughed lightly again, touched the beard on his chin that hadn't been trimmed for several months, and continued: "What you said just now is one, and the other is that the sage wants to be a retainer of the Ji family. His disciples, Ran You and Ji Lu, are like the caretaker of Husi and the caretaker of Guiyu. Then the Ji clan will attack Zhuanyu and destroy the turtle jade in the box, so he will assist the Ji family Ran You and Ji Lu failed to fulfill their duty of care. Zhu Wengong commented: "The keeper of this code cannot shirk his responsibility!"

Zhu Wengong is Zhu Xi, a great Neo Confucianist in the Southern Song Dynasty.

After hearing Wang Zhian's explanation, Jia Liu said sincerely: "Brother-in-law is so knowledgeable, those examiners are blind and won't record you!"

Hearing what his brother-in-law said, Wang Zhian shook his head slightly, with the desolation of a thousand-mile-horse-ridden Bole on his face.Then he let out a "huh", looked at his brother-in-law very strangely, and asked, "It's very good, why are you asking this?"

"Oh, nothing."

Jia Liu explained that he had been studying for the past few days, but the sage's teachings in the book were so obscure that he was really confused, and he was too embarrassed to disturb his brother-in-law to study hard, so it happened that his brother-in-law came over today to ask for advice.

"Study is good. If you study earlier and calm down earlier, why do you have to worry about you every day for such a grown-up person?"

Although I wondered why this brother-in-law who didn't study well changed his temper, but reading is always a good thing, of course Wang Zhian should encourage and praise him.

Just about to share my reading experience with my brother-in-law Haosheng, the voice of his wife Jia Lan came from inside the room: "The meal is ready, come and eat."

"Hey!"

How could Jia Liu really want to hear the nerdy brother-in-law dropping his schoolbag here, so he hurriedly pulled him in for dinner.

Because the Jia family's flag is expected to be restored, Jia Daquan drinks when he is happy.As soon as he drank, the two sons-in-law had to follow suit.

Jia Liu was a fine thief, he found an excuse to run away after picking up the rice in the bowl early, lest Jia Daquan would catch him after drinking too much.

After going out, he ran to the kitchen, pulled up Yang Zhi who was squatting to eat, and said, "Shuan Zhu, follow me to find something."

"What are you looking for, young master? I'm here to eat."

Yang Zhi put down the unfinished half bowl of rice, and reluctantly followed the young master to the study that he only visited a few times in the past few years.

As soon as he lit the oil lamp, he was urged by the young master: "Shuan Zhu, find me that "The Analects of Confucius". Oh, yes, it's Ji's chapter."

"Master, do you want to study?"

During the day, Yang Zhi was already surprised enough by the "Three Trial Trials of Galileo", and now he still needs to read "The Analects of Confucius". If the young master was not standing alive and kicking in front of him, Shuan Zhu would have thought he had seen a ghost.

There is no way but to look for it.

After rummaging through boxes and cabinets, I finally found a dusty copy of "The Analects of Confucius" in the corner of the bookshelf.

"Why is it half missing?"

Looking at the book with only the first half but no second half, Jia Liu was a little dumbfounded: Which bastard is so wicked that he tore up the book.

It was only after a while that he remembered that he tore up the second half of the book as a toilet paper.

"You should go eat."

After coaxing Yang Zhi out, Jia Liu sat under the oil lamp holding the half of Ji's chapter and read it seriously.

There is no way, it is really difficult for him to communicate with He Shen, a great talent among the banner people, at his half-bad level, so he has to recharge his batteries.

Half a book is half a book, it's better than nothing.

Who is that? Isn't half of the "Analects" governing the world?

In the hall not far away, Jia Daquan really "laid on" his two sons-in-law, and shouted that he must have three more bowls with Sanyi.Intermittent voices of persuasion and dissatisfaction from Jia Liu's two sisters.

On Jia Liu's side, he doesn't hear anything outside the window, and only reads the sages.

Not just reading, but memorizing by rote, even Zhu Xi's annotations, which is really a big crime.

On the way, the elder sister Jia Juan came over to see what her younger brother was doing, but when she saw that his younger brother was studying hard, he was dazed at first, and then his eyes were flushed, almost crying.

Ancestors and elders, come and see, the sixth son is finally willing to study!

There is hope for the old Jia family, there is hope
