NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 39 Master Huang likes Ling Sanlang
The family said goodbye to Mr. Huang and returned to their temporary residence in a carriage. After entering the house, Ling Erzhuang said, "Erya, we really want to buy that house. It costs more than a thousand taels of silver." , Although your father and I are from a farmer background, I have gained some knowledge in the past few months, so when I looked at the house from the outside, I guess it can't be bought for a thousand taels of silver."
"Yes, Erya, why do you think Mr. Huang wants to sell it to us so cheaply? If so, wouldn't they have to lose money?"
Ling Xiaoxiao also didn't expect that although her parents were from a wealthy family and had never read a book, they could see that Mr. Huang intended to do this today, so she smiled.
"Mom and Dad, you are very powerful. Mr. Huang is interested in my and Sanlang's martial arts. You must know that they, the officialdom people, have no profit and cannot afford to be early. We only met Mr. Lan in order to be able to do it after we came to Yongzhou Mansion. The household registration was successfully settled, but now it seems that Mr. Huang has a big plan. He wants to win over Sanlang and I, but it depends on how to deal with this matter. Dad, do you have any idea about Sanlang's future path? idea?"
Ling Erzhuang looked at Ling Xiaoxiao with confusion when he heard this. He was very confused. He was talking about the affairs of the house. Why did he suddenly change the topic and talk about Sanlang's affairs? On the other hand, Ling Sanlang who was standing beside him suddenly looked at him. Liang asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Sister, are you saying that Mr. Huang intends to cultivate me?"
Ling Erzhuang was even more confused when he heard Ling Sanlang's words. He was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhou Yunniang sitting next to him. At this time, she had already realized the meaning of her daughter and son's words. .
"Don't talk yet, listen to what my daughter and Saburo have to say."
Ling Erzhuang then stopped and sat there listening to the two siblings talking. Ling Xiaoxiao looked at Ling Sanlang and said, "Actually, I had guessed it on the way to Yongzhou Mansion. At that time, Mrs. Lan and her mother talked about When the three of us changed our names, I was just guessing and couldn't be sure, so I didn't say it out loud. Only after meeting Mr. Huang today did I confirm my thoughts.
That is why Mr. Huang is willing to sell the house to us for so much cheaper. His purpose is very simple, that is, Saburo's martial arts is very high. People in the officialdom are afraid of death. It is impossible for them not to have enemies. If they have enemies, Naturally, he will encounter a vendetta, so with Saburo by his side, he can rest assured about his safety. In the eyes of people like them, money is just an external possession. As long as they sit in this official position, they can collect money at any time, but Masters like Saburo are not easy to come by. Do you understand?
The most important thing now is to see if Sanlang is willing or not. This can be regarded as a way to go up, which can allow our Ling family to go higher and higher. However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are what I just said. , the disadvantage is that if Mr. Huang is bullied by the officials above, or dismissed from office or something, then our Ling family will also suffer. However, if Sanlang is not deeply involved, it may be okay, but if you want to get away completely, it will be difficult. It's difficult, so Saburo, you still have to think carefully. "
Ling Xiaoxiao's words made Ling Sanlang fall silent. Speaking of which, he is just a thirteen-year-old boy now. Although he has learned some words from Ling Xiaoxiao during this period, he has not read a book after all. Although he knew what his sister said, he didn't understand it deeply, so he thought about it.
"Sister, can I become an official if I follow Mr. Huang?"
After hearing Ling Sanlang's childish words, Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly felt funny, but she still held back her laughter and said, "Sanlang, you have to know whether you plan to take the literary path or the martial arts path. If you take the literary path, you must study or take the martial arts path." , then you still need to study, so you need to have an idea of what path you will take in the future. Anyway, you are not in a hurry now. You are only twelve years old at all costs. In the past few months, you have grown taller due to practicing martial arts. Quite a few, but you can’t fake your age, you’d better go to school and study hard!”
Once he heard that he could study, Ling Sanlang became even more interested and said with excitement.
"Sister, are you saying that I can go to school?"
"Well, you went to school to study. If you take the civil service route, you need to obtain a meritorious service. If you take the military service route, you don't need to obtain a meritorious service. However, you still need to read more and become more literate, because you need to read military books. You can only read them clearly. With the Military Book, you can be a general and lead troops to fight, otherwise you can only be a big soldier."
Ling Erzhuang and Zhou Yuniang, who had been sitting silently on the sidelines, understood what Mr. Huang meant after listening to the words of the two siblings.
"Erya, do you think we can accept that house?"
Ling Xiaoxiao shook her head, "I definitely can't accept it. Once we accepted it, our family was too passive. Let's just say that because of habit, we might not be used to living in such a big house, so we might as well find a smaller house to buy." ! However, we also need to thank Mr. Huang for his goodwill. Secondly, our Sanlang is still young, and there are still great variables in the future. We cannot tie his future to Mr. Huang for the time being. That is to say You can socialize, but you can't have deep friendships. Especially in some important matters, our family cannot participate.
The same thing is said. Saburo is too young to serve Master Huang for the time being. Secondly, although I have martial arts, I am a woman and will need to get married sooner or later. So Master Huang will naturally not be able to put any effort into me. This is also true. Leave time for our family to think about the future. "
After listening to Ling Xiaoxiao's words, Ling Erzhuang nodded, "Well, just follow what my daughter said! But how should we tell Mr. Huang about this?"
Ling Xiaoxiao said, "To put it bluntly, our family is nothing in the eyes of others at this time. We are just bankers with strong martial arts skills. We don't need to worry too much. We just need to tell the truth."
Early the next morning, Ling Xiaoxiao took several gifts taken out from the space and went to Huang Tongpan's house under the leadership of servants from other courtyards. She met Mr. Huang and personally explained the matters that her family had discussed. After saying this, Mr. Huang was not angry, but said with a smile on his face.
"After I came back yesterday, I talked about that house with my sister. She also said that it was not suitable. However, I asked the housekeeper to go to the dental shop early in the morning. I thought there would be news later, so I didn't stay. You, go to the backyard and meet my sister!"
Ling Xiaoxiao left Master Huang's study, and then was led by the servants to Mrs. Lan's Manniang's yard in the backyard.
