The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 34
In the end it was my uncle who did something wrong.

But as a junior, it's not easy to blame uncle on the surface.

The matter is not complicated, it turns out that whenever the weather is bad and the grain harvest is poor, Wu Jinxiao sends his renter to Ningguo Mansion, and when Jia Zhen complains, he will use Xiaoheishan as a comparison.

Said that the harvest over there is far inferior to theirs.

In fact, the real reason is that Daheishan has a lot of good land and occupies a good water source, so the harvest of Daheishan is higher than that of Xiaoheishan.

Later, the second-bedroom wife of Rongguo Mansion was in charge of the house, and she suddenly sent her trusted butler to supervise the rent collection every year.

The second uncle over there thought it was caused by his father.

It is natural to scold this side to the outside world, saying that the harvest of Xiaoheishan is less than that of Daheishan, but it has become his ability through Wu Jinxiao's mouth, which seems to be that he is not doing things with all his heart.

Now Rongguo Mansion sends people to supervise when collecting rent, because of this reason, it is said that they will go to the two mansions to discuss it clearly.

Of course Wu Jinxiao was dissatisfied when he heard that, and the two were of the same race, although they were not close, they would always meet each other.

When they met, they had a big fight.

The Erbo over there was so angry that he was about to go to the capital to make a fuss, but Wu Quande tried his best to stop him.

Angrily shouted, if it wasn't for the sake of his fellow clan, he would definitely go to Ningguo Mansion to have a fight.

Coupled with Ude Wuzhong's persuasion, Wu Jinxiao didn't take it seriously, and was afraid that the other party was making a big fuss, causing them to be supervised everywhere, so he held back.

Knowing the reason, Tang Qingan breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether this matter is big or small, the elders on both sides took a sigh of relief.Simply, the juniors on both sides are relatively harmonious, and the matter can be resolved.

"When I look back, I will make a special trip to visit my second uncle. After all, we are a family. After all these years, the original anger has long since dissipated. It's just that the anger is not going well. As a junior, I should be more filial. Act of."

"Cousin is right. No matter what you say, you are promising, and you just came back to Liaodong. Second uncle wants to sell your face."

During the conversation, Tang Qing'an got a clear idea of ​​the tempers of the four cousins.

The eldest cousin has the demeanor of an elder brother, and is indeed the master of the family. The second cousin is more concerned about how many fields he has acquired in the hundred households, and there is envy in his eyes.

The third and fourth cousins ​​are a bit dull and not very eloquent.

It wasn't until after the meal that Tang Qing'an proposed to his uncle that tomorrow he would go to Liaodong Dusi to visit the Secretary Chen Ce.

"Why in such a hurry?"

Wu Jinxiao knew that his nephew would definitely go to see Chen Ce, but it would not be too late to rest for a day or two.

Tang Qing'an revealed that there was a change in the Ordnance Institute. Hearing this, Wu Jinxiao understood the seriousness and stopped talking. Early the next morning, he led Tang Qing'an to Liaoyang.

In Liaoyang City, Tang Qing'an went to buy a set of newly engraved "Zhongfeng Guanglu", a fan with new poems, and the gift was neither light nor heavy, which was just right for the relationship between the two of them.

In fact, the tea from various places in my hometown of Jinling is also good, but I didn't bring it with me at the beginning.

When he came to Chen Ce's house again, Chen Ce saw Tang Qing'an with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Tang Qing'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The other party's attitude showed that the matter was not serious.

Inviting the two of them to the living room, Chen Ce first praised Tang Qing'an.

"I received a letter from your colleagues. The letter spoke highly of you. It said that you did a good job in the local area. In just a few months, you got along very well with your boss and colleagues."

"I don't dare to take this praise, it's all because of Uncle Shi's affection. If it wasn't for Uncle Shi's arrangement back then, how could I easily gain a foothold in the local area."

Tang Qing'an was not overly happy.

Although Tongzhi treated him well, most of the reasons were not on him, one was Chen Ce in front of him, and the other was Jia's mansion behind him.

Even if I have talents, but I can't bring benefits to my colleagues, how can I think highly of him, and even write a special letter to praise him.

It's nothing more than a courtesy in the world of adults. If you are really complacent about it, people will see it, and you will only leave the impression of an ignorant child.

"Then Tong Zhi is really good to Qing'an, and also revealed something about the Ordnance Institute. I heard that there are changes?"

Although Wu Jinxiao is white, but he is a family friend with Chen Ce, so he went straight to the point.

After hearing this, Chen Ce let out a "huh" and said with a smile, "Not many people know about this matter, it seems that Han Bin really takes care of you."

Without answering Wu Jinxiao, Chen Ce looked at Tang Qing'an.

"When I left Donghai Fort, I went to Tongzhi's house first, because Master Tongzhi was not at home, and the son of Tongzhi's family received me, so he told me the news."

"What do you think of this matter? Can you guess the reason?"

Seeing his old friend testifying against his nephew, Wu Jinxiao drank tea by himself, while the old god stayed aside, not saying a word.

He had seen in Ningguo Mansion how the master tested his nephew, and how the nephew was so eloquent that he was stunned by what the master said.

Dealing with the old man, it's not easy.

"Ashamed." Tang Qing'an laughed.

"Cough cough cough."

Wu Jinxiao's heart skipped a beat, choking on the tea, he managed to stabilize the teacup, and looked up to see his nephew's concerned gaze.

Seeing that his uncle was fine, Tang Qing'an turned around and said.

"At first, I couldn't figure it out. Later, I went back to the Qiantun Office and asked Qianhu for leave. Qianhu asked about the Ordnance Institute. After I told him, I was pointed out."

"What do you Qianhu say?" Chen Ce became curious.

"He said that it is the custom of the officialdom to abide by the rules."

With just a short sentence, both of them understood that the other really understood, but Wu Jinxiao didn't understand what they said at all.

"Your thousand households are not easy."

Chen Ce lamented that no one should be underestimated. An ordinary household in Youtunwei, Guangning, could see things through with just a little information.

"The Qianhu in our former village is called Li Biao. He lives up to his name and speaks fiercely. When my nephew first met him years ago, he was also confused by the appearance. There are details in the middle, and the reality is a prudent and careful person."

Tang Qing'an introduced his family's Qianhu.

"This kind of person can confuse people the most. If anyone despises him because of this, he will be controlled by him instead. Not only can you see through his character, but you can also let him take the initiative to analyze it for you. With this cause and effect, it can be seen that he is also optimistic about you. of."

After a brief exchange, Chen Ce became more and more satisfied with Tang Qing'an.

People in the officialdom like to step on the low and hold the high.

Tang Qing'an had only been to Youtunwei in Guangning for a few months, and although he had his own letters, he entrusted Youtunwei Tongzhi to take care of him.

But caring is just caring, and it won't waste too much favor.

He can win the friendship of his superiors and subordinates, relying on his own ability to be a human being.

"You are talented, there is no doubt that the Jia family can help you," Chen Ce began to talk about serious business.

"Actually, before you went to Guangning Youtunwei, I was still faintly worried about you. Do you know why?"

Chen Ce spoke eloquently.

"Ask Uncle Shi to advise."

Tang Qing'an replied respectfully.
