Chapter 584 I owe you a favor

Guan Lehe sighed, with shame on his face: "Jin Ning, although the teacher accepted your kindness and got promoted through it, I don't feel well in my heart."

That's why he was the first to arrive at Du Jinning's place.

As an official, he was so promoted that he felt uncomfortable.

"Teacher, you can't say that." Du Jinning shook his head, "You have a chance to be promoted as an official, but there is still competition, so it's not very safe. My blueprint is just a little extra. So you I don’t agree with saying that I got promoted by borrowing my blueprint.”

"Besides, don't you know my intentions?" She said again, "You are my teacher and I am your disciple. Only when you stand taller can I gain your glory."

She raised her eyes and looked at Guan Lehe with sincere eyes: "You also know that even if I am admitted to the Jinshi next year and I am lucky enough to get into the first class, in the end I will only be a small official of the eighth or ninth rank. I don't have the background of Qi Muyuan and Guan Jiaze. If I want to gain a foothold in the capital and seek a position in the Ministry of Industry, I can only rely on you. So, hello, I can do well. You are an official. The bigger I get, the better my life will be. We are grasshoppers on a rope, and without you, I can't jump up anyway."

Guan Lehe couldn't help laughing at her last words, and patted her on the head with his hand: "You speak well, but you are not serious. I think you are getting more glib."

Du Jinning smiled and said: "I am like this in front of you, but in front of others, I can't be more serious."

Guan Lehe couldn't help taking another look at her, and then pressed her with his palm: "Okay, sit down, we two sit down and talk."

Seeing Du Jinning sit down obediently, he couldn't help feeling sour.

He knew that Du Jinning didn't have a father, so he was treating him as a father, so he could act coquettishly, laugh and be intimate in front of him.Du Jinning came from a low background and had no one to help him, so he could only work hard alone.He took out the most precious things, in addition to honoring his teacher, he also expected to get his support.This is a matter of mutual benefit and a win-win situation, so when he received the drawings yesterday, he thought twice and accepted Du Jinning's kindness.

It's just that in his heart, why is he so uncomfortable?

This kid might not have been like this. If he had a good background, he could definitely use this as the capital for his promotion, instead of relying on him as a teacher when turning a corner.

"Jin Ning, you are a child with political foresight. You can see farther and deeper than ordinary people in the officialdom, so I don't treat you as a child, so let's open the window and speak honestly." Guan Le He said positively.

Du Jinning said: "Teacher, if you have something to say, just say it."

"The new emperor is enthroned. As a royalist faction, our Guan family has never done anything in the struggle for the emperor's succession. So, this time, I have the opportunity. I just want to be promoted from a sixth rank to a fifth rank, and you will be able to join me." Grandpa supported us behind the scenes, we are still in such a difficult situation, and there is no lack of the emperor's intention to suppress our Guan family."

Du Jinning nodded.

She naturally thought of this layer, so she sent Guan Lehe the blueprint.

"After the new emperor came to the throne, we didn't think of a way to express our Guan family's submission and surrender to the new emperor, but we couldn't offer anything. We had no military power, a lot of money, and nothing special. Talent. So it was delayed, and the new emperor is not lukewarm to us."

"This time, you have helped us a lot by using the blueprints. As soon as I was transferred to the Ministry of Industry, I took out such a thing. The emperor not only saw the sincerity of our Guan family, but also appreciated my 'talent'." A little expectation."

When Guan Lehe said this, he couldn't help but smiled wryly.

Worried that Du Jinning might misunderstand him, he hurriedly said: "What I mean is, I'm already this old. Although I have the heart to become an official, I don't have much ambition. I know how much I have. I don't care about being a 'talent' or not, but with such an act of surrender, the Xinhuang's grudge against our family will be eliminated. In the future, there will be no obstacles for members of our family to be promoted. This is all given by you. A big gift to our Guan family. So you not only promoted my promotion, but also sent a big gift to our Guan family, and our Guan family owes you a favor."

When Du Jinning was in Guangxi Province, he could speculate on the situation in Beijing and China through some gossip.Now that she is in it, and personally feels the ups and downs of this peaceful political situation, she is naturally clear about the value and significance of her actions.

If Guan Zhengxiang was sitting in front of her, she would naturally have to bargain hard.But facing her own teacher who is also a teacher and a father, no matter how thick-skinned she is, she is too embarrassed to say anything.

She waved her hand and said with a smile: "Teacher, don't say that. I just want to give you a bargaining chip. Even if I think of other things, that is not my original intention. Teacher, you don't have to accept my favor. How much help do you give me?" , I didn’t say anything, we teachers and students don’t need to talk about this, don’t you think?”

"All right, don't talk, don't talk." Guan Lehe said with a smile.

"Your Uncle Guan, that is, Guan Jiaze's father, wanted to give you a house, but I stopped him. You are not short of money, so there is no need to accept such a house."

As he said that, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Du Jinning: "This is a list of houses I asked for from Mr. Shi. You can see if there is anything you like."

Immediately afterwards, he handed over another sign: "This is the voucher, you can take Yao Shuqi to see one by one with this."

Du Jinning understood what Guan Lehe meant.

What the Guan family owed her was a favor, so naturally they should repay it with favors.Favor is something that can even save a life if used in a critical place, isn't it better than taking a house?If she is poor, unable to afford a house and is in urgent need of a house, then of course she can ask for a house.But she is not short of money, so it is natural to keep the favor and use it in key places in the future.

As for the house that Guan Lehe brought from Shi Yun, it must have been screened and roughly met her requirements. The location is good and the price is not expensive.

"Thank you teacher, I'll take Yao Shuqi to have a look in a while." Du Jinning put away the address and sign.

"Are you free the day after tomorrow?" Guan Lehe asked again.

Du Jinning nodded: "I'm free."

"At noon, you and Guan Jiaze go to the yamen and wait. I'll take you to the Taixue after I get off the yamen." Guan Lehe said, hesitating for a while, "You are Xie Yuan from Gui Province, and it is easier to accommodate you when you enter the Taixue. Xu Chengyuan is worse. With my ability, there is really no way to force him in, so I can only force him to find another school."
