He was also very happy to see them chatting. He got up and said, "I'm going to have lunch, and my cousin will stay here today. Then send someone to inform Lord Xie and ask him to come over for dinner!"

Xie Wan raised his lips and said thank you.

When He Shi left, Xie Wan looked at Jin Yong and said, "My niece went to Beijing this time and didn't tell the people in Xie's house."

Jin Yong was about to drink the tea. Hearing the words, he paused and turned his head: "Why is this?"

Xie Wan looked at the ground and pondered for a while and said, "Does uncle remember the Analects of Confucius copied to my father by himself?"

When she said this, she looked solemn but not stiff, which made her eyes reveal the depth beyond her age, but there was no sense of discord at all. Jin Yong looked at the girl and suddenly remembered what Zhao Zhen said when she mentioned her a few days ago, "It can't be described in words", which is Zhao Zhen's description of her.

"Remember." He put down the tea bowl and looked at her, "How's it going?"

"My father has always treasured that book. Although my father is gone now, my brother has taken over and treasured it." Xie Wan looked ahead with a very low tone. But at this point, she suddenly turned around and said, "Uncle, how far do you think my third uncle can finally go in his official career?"

Jin Yong was stunned when he heard the words. He really didn't expect that she would suddenly mention the official career to him, and it was also related to Xie Rong.

Even if he has an interpretation of Xie Rong in his heart, he can talk about this with a child, and it is also a girl who should be embroidered in the boudoir. How boring and ridiculous it seems.

Maybe others will be surprised by her question, but in his opinion, it's just a slightly involved child pretending to be deep.

He smiled and said, "With Uncle Ling's talent, the future is boundless naturally."

Xie Wan also smiled, took a sip of tea, and said quietly, "If the third uncle goes well in Hanlin Academy, according to common sense, there will be a promotion in three or five years. If it goes smoothly after the promotion, he will also have a chance to let go. The young man has the opportunity to enter the six departments. If the next one is still smooth, his future will be really hard to say. That's really a good thing for the Xie family!"

She turned her head and smiled brightly at Jin Yong.

Jin Yong listened to her words, and then suddenly saw that she smiled like this, and a cold sweat suddenly appeared on her back!

The court is deep, and no one can guarantee that they will not ask for help or be unlucky for the rest of their lives. Therefore, in the officialdom, the establishment of alliance has become a priority, and who will be this ally has become the top priority.

Xie Rong is not a short-sighted person. He knows, and he knows that with his talent, he will not be in the pool in the future.

When Xie Rong found him, he immediately understood what it was for.

Emotionally, he felt aggrieved for the dead Xie Teng, but out of reason, Xie Rong took the responsibility of revitalizing the family, and he also carried the burden of shining lintel on his shoulders. There are many scholars with real talent among those who come to beg him. Xie Rong is not the most outstanding, but he is the one he knows best among those people.

He knows the greed of Wang's mother and son, and also knows Xie Qigong's reputation. Even if Xie Rong is several times stronger than his parents, his ambition for official career is no different from Wang's greed for money, but one is about power and the other is money.

He likes to touch other people's depths in this way and can grasp other people's feelings.

As a result, Xie Rong became one of the most potential candidates as his ally.

In front of the livelihood of more than a hundred people in the Jin family, he was entangled in the personal grievances of the previous generation and affected his official career, which was not the work of a man.

The friendship with Xie Teng is already secondary in the face of the future of the Jin family.

At present, Xie Wan's seemingly childish words actually make it clear that things may go in another direction.

If Xie Rong's career is really smooth, he is likely to be beyond his control. I'm not afraid for three or five years now, but what about three or five years later? Fei Hanlin did not enter the cabinet. He had made the Tian family look a few more times when he joined the official in advance. As long as he could not make a mistake, he was transferred to the six ministries and then sent out to serve as officials in Xinjiang for a few years. At that time, several cabinet elders in the cabinet were almost the time to change. Xie Rong at

At that time, he may not be able to catch up with his progress, or he may compete for the place to enter the cabinet like him. In any case, Xie Rong could not be his ally at that time.

What made him sweat was not Xie Wan who told him this, but with Xie Wan's age experience, he could even think of this level!

She didn't ask anything about Xie Rong, but this short sentence is equivalent to thinking through all the context.

How can such a girl not let her sweat?

"You came here just to see me, right?"

Since she said so deeply, there was no need for him to avoid it.

"Naturally, it's to meet my uncle." Xie Wan put the tea and said gently, "When I was a child, I often heard my father mention the kindness of Aunt Jin and my cousin, and I always kept it in my heart. In the past, Lord Zhao said that he wanted to go to Beijing to report his work, so he asked him to send a letter on his behalf. Unexpectedly, Lord Zhao didn't get the letter, so I had to come with my uncle in person.

When Jin Yong heard her mention of Zhao Zhen, he remembered the resume written in the envelope and immediately understood her intention. He said with a heavy face, "As a boudoir woman, it's important to be virtuous and elegant. Don't get in the matter of adults!"

As a relative who met for the first time, this is already very heavy.

But since he figured out the reason why he helped Xie Rong, in Xie Wan's eyes, Jin Yong's status as a cousin has faded, replaced by his identity as an official.

Therefore, she did not feel embarrassed, but said calmly, "My cousin was wrong. What I was not related to adults, but about me and my brother. It is beyond reproach that the cousin helped the third uncle enter the Hanlin Academy, but did the cousin forget the brotherhood with his father because he had a good relationship with the third uncle?

Jin Yong was slightly moved and said, "What does Zhao Zhen have to do with you?"

"Zhao Zhen's eldest son married a relative of the Qi family, a woman surnamed Wang. Zhao Wang's family has no family, and because they are extremely good to me, they regard me and my brother as my mother's family. When the Zhao family got married, the Zhao Wang family married at our home in Huangshi Town. If you don't believe it, you can ask someone to inquire about it.

"I am very happy that the third uncle has become an official, but the Wang family is ambitious, and our brothers and sisters are helpless. In the future, the third uncle will become bigger and bigger, and we will become more and more insecure. And if we have more relatives who are officials in Beijing, the Wang family will at least be a little afraid. Uncle, is it wrong for me to ask for multiple guarantees for myself?

Xie Wan looked at Jin Yong with wide open eyes, and his eyes were full of helplessness and innocence.

This made Jin Yong a little stunned. He couldn't tell whether she was her true self, who seemed to see through the world, or whether she was as childish and narrow-minded as before.

He withdrew his eyes and said for half a day, "What does Wang dare to do with me protecting you?"

Xie Wan looked at him for a moment and lowered his eyes: "Wang is the biological mother of the third uncle."

Jin Yong's body was shocked and he was speechless.

Wang is Xie Rong's biological mother, and of course he knows. When the Wang family coveted the property of the second house for a long time, when Xie Rong has a firm foothold in the court, she will become worse. And as Xie Rong's ally, what balance can he hold from it?

From the date of reaching an agreement with Xie Rong, he has not been qualified to speak for Xie Lang's brother and sister.

"So how do you think Zhao Zhen can help you?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help raising the corners of his lips, "He has been an official for more than 20 years, and he is still rolling in seven foreign terms. Now, in order to seek an official, he has to beg in a low voice in front of me as a descendant. Even if he lacks opportunities, he has not been allowed to establish a few reliable contacts for more than 20 years, which is enough to show that he is just a general person.

Matching a person with mediocre qualifications will also affect his reputation.

After saying that, he picked up his ink beard and regained his usual calmness.

"Uncle is well s well sshining in the way of being an official, and his ability is superior to others."

Xie Wan stood up, suddenly smiled and said, "What if I say that Zhao Zhen is well aware of the way of crops?"

The forest planting edict issued by Qingping in the fourth year is in February next year. It has been only two months since this time. She didn't believe that there would be no movement in the court for such a big thing. In addition, as the six subjects of the review of the imperial edict, Jin Yong would not know the emperor's thoughts in advance.

With the expansion of forest land, there must be fewer fertile land. Xie Wan is determined to open a rice shop for this opportunity. For the imperial court, the reduction of fertile land is bound to greatly reduce the annual grain production, resulting in a reduction in tax collection. Such a big thing can neither be decided in a few words, nor can it be prevented.

The reduction of good fields can only open up barren fields or increase production. In this way, it is indispensable for people who are well sshin to crops. What Zhao Zhen despises most is that she has been in the county magistrate position for more than 20 years, but it is precisely because he has stayed in the position closest to people's livelihood for so long that he has become an indispensable person to solve this problem.

Now that the imperial edict has not been officially issued, it is natural for Jin Yong to know whether it will be issued. If he first thinks of this layer when others are unprepared and leaves Zhao Zhen in office, it will naturally be beneficial and harmless to his official career. Who doesn't like those who are prepared for everything? Even if it is an emperor, it is the same.

He recommended that Zhao Zhen and Xie Rong could not create any conflict. Although there are many people who are proficient in crops, under the condition of rich qualifications and experience, and at the same time because of his relationship with Xie Teng, why didn't he sell face to Xie Wan?

After all, Xie Lang has learned well, and sooner or later he will enter the scientific field. Now giving them personal feelings, isn't it equivalent to preparing more retreat for himself in the future?

Jin Yongsi and here, looking at Xie Wan, his eyes are very different. RS
