Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 366
Looking at Lu Xiaobei who has grown tall and big in the past two years, he felt very emotional.

I think Lu Xiaobei was found by him from the theater troupe back then.No one knew better than him what Lu Xiaobei was like at that time.But in less than two years, Lu Xiaobei has grown to such a level that he can consider long-term things.This kind of thing, the pattern is not big enough, there is no gap in the chest, it is unexpected.The reason why Lu Xiaobei was able to do this was not only because he could read, but also because he was influenced by Du Jinning's side, saw a lot, listened a lot, and thought a lot, so he grew up so fast.

Thinking of this, he regretted that he could not follow Du Jinning.

Although he is now in charge of three teahouses and two bookstores, his income is higher than those of the big shopkeepers in the Guanfu.But it was precisely because he did a good job that many shopkeepers in the Guan Mansion were jealous of him, and they always made tricks behind the scenes, trying to get him down and occupy this position by themselves.If it weren't for Guan Jiaze's relatively small shares in teahouses and bookstores, Du Jinning has the final say in teahouses and bookstores now, it is really possible for those people to succeed.

Thinking about the intricate relationship network in the Guan Mansion, if you want to achieve something, there are people who are jealous and stumbling everywhere. Zhuang Yue especially hopes that he can become Du Jinning's subordinates like Lu Xiaobei, Yao Shuqi and others, and work by Du Jinning's side .

He felt that he and Du Jinning had similar temperaments, and it was easy to communicate with each other. Du Jinning's goals were also very clear.Working with Du Jinning, he felt very energetic, as if he was ten years younger.This kind of carefree feeling cannot be obtained by taking a few taels of silver in monthly subscriptions or bonuses.

Thinking of this, he had a thought, and seeing that there was no one outside, he lowered his voice and said, "Xiaobei, Uncle Zhuang very much hopes to do things with Young Master Du like you, Uncle Yao. Do you think it is possible?"

Normally, he would not say these words easily.But Lu Xiaobei is about to become Du Jinning's brother-in-law, and his status is not bad, so it is perfect for him to pass the message.Furthermore, Lu Xiaobei is a man of loyalty, he can tell him what he thinks, and he thinks of himself as his close elder.Then if I have such an idea, I naturally have to discuss it with him to see how to do it.

Lu Xiaobei was very surprised, and also lowered his voice and asked, "Uncle Zhuang, are you having trouble staying there? Why do you want to be with our young master?"

What kind of family is the Guan family?From a family of officials, the second master of the Guan family is still a third-rank official in Beijing.The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, and the servants of the Guan family have almost the same status in Lishui County. Otherwise, why did Liu Ze and Chen Jiaxing have such a coquettish face?As long as they say that they are servants of the Guan family, even the officials in the yamen will look at them highly.

Don't want such a boss, Zhuang Yue ran over to follow Du Jinning, who had just started and had nothing. In the eyes of others, this person was sick, and he was still very sick.

Since he wanted to go to Du Jinning, Zhuang Yue naturally wanted to tell his thoughts frankly.

"Although the Guan family is good, their relationship is complicated. If you want to do something, there are always people who want to trip you up. Now I am in charge of the teahouse and bookstore. Because of the booming business, I am even more jealous. Those people repeatedly try to get me Go down and come here to be the shopkeeper yourself."

Speaking of this, Zhuang Yue had a wry smile on his face: "You may never have thought of such a method of making trouble in a big family. It's called a despicable, shameless, vicious and merciless. If it weren't for our young master who didn't care about teahouses and Young Master Du has the final say on the matter of the bookstore, and I still have some contacts in the mansion, so I should be careful, the one sitting here talking to you today is no longer me."

Lu Xiaobei nodded.

Although he has never stayed in this kind of deep house, he also has two friends who are servants of aristocratic families.He had heard friends mention the matter of flattering and flattering his superiors with his own incompetence, so he didn't want to talk too much about it.Zhuang Yue is now in charge of outside affairs and doesn't have much contact with the people in the house, but the property he manages is so lucrative, it's strange that he doesn't get jealous.

"Besides, I think you also have a deep understanding. People like us who want to do practical things don't care about the amount of money or their status. The most important thing is whether they are happy with things. Working with Young Master Du, I feel like drinking too much." Ten years of old wine is like, the heart is very happy, and it is also very energetic. As long as you follow Young Master Du closely, you can think about nothing and just stride forward. This is the situation in the Guan Mansion that is mired in the quagmire and difficult to take a step forward. totally different."

"What's more, I have confidence in Young Master Du. In less than 15 years, he will be able to stand at the same height as the Fourth Master Guan and create a large family fortune. And those of us who follow the young master to expand the territory will become The young master is trusted by the young master. The young master is a lord of benevolence and righteousness with clear rewards and punishments, and he will never treat us badly. Isn't this better than being squeezed out all day in the Guan mansion, and being sold out without knowing when?"

Lu Xiaobei nodded.

He can especially understand Zhuang Yue's mood.

Now that he works with Du Jinning, he is very motivated.He dared to venture into the capital because of Du Jinning's backing. Regardless of success or failure, he believed that Du Jinning would never let him go.Because Du Jinning is a very clear-headed person with clear rewards and punishments.As long as he does what he does to open up the market for him, he will credit himself with credit.

"But your matter is not easy to handle. You also know that the Guan family is kind to the young master, and the young master cannot bear the infamy of being ungrateful and poaching people's corners." Lu Xiaobei said.

Having said that, he touched his chin and began to think about how to get Zhuang Yue out of Guan's house without making people blame Du Jinning.

He was originally very flexible in mind. He used to hang out in theater troupes and in the city, and knew how to use some means to achieve his goals.But the last time I went to the government examination with Du Jinning and saw Du Jinning remove a fourth-rank magistrate from his official position with a small fulcrum, his eyes widened and his thinking suddenly broadened. It is limited to the small means of drugging people to make dirty tricks, but you can also take advantage of the big situation to easily achieve your own goals.

"Since I defected to the young master, how could I let the young master be reprimanded? If the young master is willing to take me, I have already thought of a way. I plan to do this, this, this, this..." Zhuang Yue whispered his method with Lu Xiaobei said it again.

Lu Xiaobei thought for a while, and told Zhuang Yue his thoughts: "You can still do this, that, that, that..."
