Wear ancient times with a house

Chapter 310 The Truth
In front of his mother and children, Song Nian couldn't say anything, the facts are here, he can't be fooled by saying "this place is good", he can only persuade his family to think in a better way:

For example, since Qinxi County's literary style is not prosperous and Hu and Han are mixed, there are not many local snakes that have taken root for a long time, which is relatively easy to manage.

For another example, if you go to work in another place, you may be involved in party struggles like Xu Zhiqing did before, and you can't help but become a small pawn that almost started the self-destruct procedure. In the northwest region, the Zhou family has deeper roots. I can protect him a bit.

Regardless of the persuasiveness of this statement, in short, the matter has been settled, and entanglement in this is just to increase anxiety.

The old lady Song was thinking about it, and Song Jun had already started to figure out what things and technologies could be used in the future, and finally learned about the distribution results of Wang Qi and Zhao Yanlin:

Wang Qi stayed in Beijing and became a small official in the Ministry of Household Affairs.Both in grade and place of work, they are better than Song Nian.In particular, Beijing officials are naturally more valuable than officials sent outside.

Zhao Yanze was also assigned to a county seat as the county magistrate, rank seven, the same rank as Song Nian.

The county where he works is in the southeast area. Although it is not a rich place and it is far away from home, it has a low risk index anyway, and it is hard to meet some bandits and local wealthy families.

Such a comparison, it seems that Song Nian was targeted maliciously, while Wang Qi seemed too lucky.

Shen Shi noticed something, and thought about Song Nian once coming home drunk and depressed for the next few days. At this juncture, it is hard not to connect these two seemingly unrelated things .

Shen didn't say anything at the moment, but after returning to the room, she couldn't help asking about Song Nian's situation in detail.

This matter really couldn't be hidden from Shen's eyes, Song Nian could only tell the whole story:
It turned out that the reason why he and Wang Qi left the banquet early that day and didn't go home directly was because they were taken to Zhou's house.

Although King Jin left the capital early, he has developed some influence of his own, especially the Zhou family, his pro-grandfather. In a sense, they can be regarded as his spokesperson in the capital.

Wang Qi and Song Nian can be regarded as the wives of King Jin, and because they have been admitted to Jinshi, people feel that they have a certain value. It is normal for the other party to want them to be used by him.

In fact, Song Nian also felt a little bit, and he also has his own little thoughts, the official sea is unpredictable, and it is dangerous for a small shrimp like him to bump into it head-on. It really is completely classified into this faction.

To put it more bluntly, Song Nian also wanted to be a swaying weed, the kind that only enjoys rights and does not take responsibility.

It never occurred to him that he wanted to be an idiot, but there was a real shortage of people on King Jin's side, and the results of the palace examination hadn't come out yet, so they made a fuss about letting Song Nian and the others choose jobs.

Occupying the position arranged by others, and saying that you are "friends and not party members", it would be too hypocritical.

Song Nian couldn't refuse directly, he could only choose the best of the following three options:

Song Nian did not hesitate to choose whether to go offline in a place where King Jin's sphere of influence is weak, or stay in Beijing and shout "King Jin is the destiny of destiny", or go to do something within the sphere of influence of King Jin took the last one.

After all, Wang Qi is Wang Yawei's uncle, and considering the interests of the family, he resolutely chose the more difficult path of staying in Beijing.

In fact, Song Nian felt that his second cousin was simple-minded, and he was actually less suitable than himself to stay in the turbulent Beijing.

It's just that his status is limited, if he supports and helps King Jin without expressing his position, it will make it difficult for Wang Yawei to be in her husband's house.

In comparison, Song Nian seemed a bit timid, but the existence of potatoes played a role at this time. During the more than half a year since Song's family left Jinzhou Mansion, the experiments on potato cultivation never stopped.

It has been confirmed that potatoes are indeed more suitable for bitter cold places than most of today's grains.

Under the banner of promoting potatoes in the northwest region, and with the effect of alcohol on the army, the Zhou family also felt that it would be more appropriate for Song Nian to go to the northwest region.

Song Nian actually thought about it for himself, and felt that although there were all kinds of difficulties there, as he said to his family, ignoring the inconveniences in life is indeed safer than Wang Qi's choice in terms of official career, and also safer than Xu Zhiqing's choice. safer.

The only thing to worry about is that when he thinks that his family has such high expectations for him to be a Jinshi and become an official, Song Nian will inevitably feel guilty about taking them to live in a place far inferior to Liyang County.

This is also the reason why he was depressed despite making a choice.

And, this kind of involuntary compromise, Song Nian vaguely felt that it would accompany him for the rest of his life.

This feeling inevitably made him worried.

In short, since Mrs. Shen saw it, Song Nian knew that his wife was no less intelligent than a man, and she would not be overwhelmed like Mrs. Song, so she didn't mind telling her.

In any case, it is better for him to have someone beside him who knows his situation and difficulties than to go alone.

Shen sighed, she didn't expect that there was such an inside story, now that Wang Qi stayed in Beijing and had a higher official position, she didn't have the sour feeling before, but was more worried.

However, if Song Nian and Wang Qi's official positions were manipulated in secret, what about Zhao Yanlin?
Song Nian just shook his head:
"Yanlin didn't go that day, and I didn't mention it to me afterwards, so I don't know much about it."

Having said that, he added his guess:
"But I think he must be unaware."

Most of the success of the Zhao family in these years is due to the protection of Zhao Yanze and Yue's family.

Although the two families had a bit of a stalemate because of some things, it has to be said that the concepts and connections of the Zhao brothers were all influenced by the Lin family, and they couldn't get rid of it easily.

As for the Lin family's attitude, it is actually very obvious that they have their heart for the eldest prince.

Although Zhao Yanlin married the Song family's daughter, in his mind, the Lin family was more important and trustworthy, or the Song family was more important, Song Nian did not dare to guarantee it easily.

This is the case with the Song family, so what about the Wang family one level further away?What about the farther King Jin?

Can Zhao Yanlin really choose to stand in line for this in-law relationship?
Presumably, the Zhou family is also aware of this, and they may not be willing to waste a position for a wandering person.

All kinds of arrangements can be broadly summarized in one sentence, different factions have different positions, but when they are implemented, there are unknown considerations in this deep place, and they cannot be taken lightly by relying on simple kinship.

Just like at this time, whether Zhao Yanlin's appointment was due to his performance and the unintentional arrangement made by the vacancy of the court, or whether there was an external force intervening, how much external force, whether Zhao Yanlin knew it or not, and how much he knew, Song Nian didn't dare to think too much. But I have to think more.

I'm afraid Zhao Yanlin will have the same inquiry at this time.

　Basically, write a few more chapters about returning home, and you can open a new map.

　　I am really tired of writing the volume "In the Capital". I think readers who followed up will find out that I am updating this volume very slowly. On the one hand, I have been busy recently, and on the other hand, I am really uninspired.

　　But it won’t work if you don’t write this part of the plot. If the progress is faster, it will not conform to the style of the previous period. In short, that’s it.

　　For the new map, it is mainly based on infrastructure. I will try to add some plots of officialdom, but it will not be too ups and downs, and it will focus on warmth.
