Chapter 119 Sleepless
Chapter 119 ·Sleepless
Yu Congyun glanced at Guan Bozhou worriedly.
Zhou Chen also felt that there was a bit of childishness in Guan Bozhou's words. Not to mention whether this so-called soul compatibility existed or whether it could be found, judging from his current situation, even if he did not marry Bai Linglong, he would definitely marry one.
Only girls from wealthy families whose family background and status can help the housekeeper can do this.
Although the housekeeper relied on Zeng Shaoquan to gain power, and Guan Boyuan was a resolute and capable man, he had little foundation after all. Once Zeng Shaoquan's position in Nanjing was not stable, the housekeeper would definitely be affected. But if Guan Bozhou could win over his uncle and eldest brother
With help, he successfully entered politics
Standing firm will not only be of great help to Zeng Shaoquan, but also beneficial to the entire housekeeper. What's more, brothers fighting against tigers, father and son, support each other. Even if Zeng Shaoquan falls one day, the two of them can still do it.
Dominate one side and make people afraid to act rashly.
Among the housekeeper's three children, Guan Boyu, the youngest, is on par with Jiang Yaozu, and he is also an ignorant playboy. But if the two brothers above him are stable, it won't be a big deal even if the family keeps him for nothing.
Mrs. Guan is Zeng Shaoquan's biological sister. She has the same ambition in her bones and wants to support all her sons. Zhou Chen heard his father mention that the reason why Guan Boyuan has not discussed marriage at this age is because
Mrs. Guan is picky,
He felt that no one was worthy of his son, and he wanted to marry his son a daughter-in-law who would be of great help to him. I heard that Su Chengxian, the leader of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, and the Gu family both wanted to marry Guan Boyuan, but Mrs. Guan interfered
In the middle, it seems that neither of them is satisfied.
The eldest son's marriage is already like this, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for Guan Bozhou to start a family according to his own temperament.
Zhou Chen sighed and changed the topic to a more relaxed topic. Several young people talked until late at night before returning to the room prepared in advance to rest. Guan Bozhou was here because of his identity, and the servants in Langyuan were not interested in it.
He thought he was more respectful and careful, lest he would offend him and not return happily.
If they complain to Guan Boyuan, their jobs will be ruined. No one comes to live in the manor all year round and it remains empty all year round. They only need to be responsible for daily cleaning and maintenance. The work is extremely easy and the wages are not low. It is really a bargain.
No lantern can find such a job.
However, Mrs. Guan stayed here for a few days last year. She was not only sarcastic but also extremely picky. If the tea was hot or cold, she would point her nose and scold her if something didn't go her way. She was not at all like a lady in a big house.
Madam Guan, on the other hand, was like a vulgar market shrew. At that time, two servants made Madam Guan unhappy and were kicked out of the house. No matter how much she begged Madam Guan, she was unmoved.
The servants still remember this incident, and they feel frightened whenever they think of Mrs. Guan's cold face. This year, when they heard that the second young master of the housekeeper was coming to stay here for a few days, everyone was worried and cautious.
The ground began to move, fearing that someone would be caught doing something wrong and be kicked out. Nowadays, everyone's life is very tight, and servants are rarely hired in big houses. They still have a large family to support, and if they can't even
If this job is gone, there is really no way to survive.
The maid put the tea on the table tremblingly, her face turned pale because she was so nervous, "Second Young Master, drink tea."
Guan Bozhou nodded to her politely, "You don't need to be busy here. Go down and rest early after a tiring day."
The little maid was slightly startled, but when she saw that his attitude was sincere and his expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be joking, she boldly left. Guan Bozhou changed his clothes, and soon the lights were turned on in the room.
The little maid stood at the door and was stunned for a long time, and then returned to the back room where the servants lived in disbelief. Because there were guests in the garden, the servants did not dare to sleep as deeply as usual, so they immediately heard any movement.
Someone opened the door and walked out.
Seeing that it was the little maid coming back, several warm-hearted women immediately came over to greet them, "Sanya, what's wrong with you? Did you do something wrong and the second young master kicked him out? He didn't say anything harsh.
Well, have I kicked you out?"
The little maid named Sanya blinked and said, "The second young master didn't say anything. He asked me to come back early and rest."
"Ah?" Several women suddenly opened their mouths.
Then someone said, "Let me just say that this second young master is gentle and polite. He is not the arrogant and domineering person who bullies others at all. He is completely different from Mrs. Guan."
Others sighed and said, "How could such a kind-hearted young master come out of Mrs. Guan's belly?"
A few people just couldn't sleep, so they just put their clothes on and murmured under the moonlight. After a while, the maids who stayed in front of Yu Congyun and Zhou Chen's room were also sent back. Everyone had to say all kinds of good things and praise these three people.
The young man is not only knowledgeable, but also has a rare noble character. He is worthy of being someone who has gone abroad and drank foreign ink.
Guan Bozhou was lying on the bed. He didn't know whether it was because of the change of bed, but he couldn't fall asleep. In his mind, he unconsciously recalled the words of a foreign teacher when he was studying abroad:
"The foundation of a country lies in education. Only when the comprehensive quality of its citizens improves, will the country become stronger and more civilized as a whole. The root of education is not in the economy, and it is not a matter of more or less money. The economy is only a factor, but it is not decisive.
, especially for quality education. The key to the success or failure of education lies in "moral education". That is, the edification and upholding of humanity, humanity, and humanistic spirit."
Every time Guan Bozhou thought of these words, he felt like a fire was burning in his chest, making his whole body boil with enthusiasm. He wanted to start a career immediately and contribute to the country's education. When he was studying in Cambridge, England
, because of his excellent grades, the school once offered to let him stay at the school to teach, but Guan Bozhou refused without hesitation.
He thought that he would be greeted by a vast world when he returned to China, allowing him to fly and show off his talents. Unexpectedly, before he could stand firmly, a basin of cold water was poured on his head. His mother had already started arranging work before he came back.
He and his uncle were discussing where he should go. The uncle refused to give him the place the mother proposed, and the mother did not want the place the uncle proposed. The two brothers and sisters came and went and neither of them would give in easily. The mother was so anxious that she had no choice but to bring her eldest brother with her.
Find a way.
The eldest brother analyzed the current situation and believed that his uncle's considerations were reasonable. Many things affected the whole body. My uncle's current prime minister also has the word "generation" in front of him. No matter what he does, he must act cautiously. Once
If someone grabs your pigtails, you will most likely be pulled down from your position. What's more, Guan Bozhou has never dealt with officialdom, and he has to learn many things. He first goes to an inconspicuous place to practice for a few years.
It might be more suitable for him to think of ways to adjust it later.
My mother felt that the eldest brother was standing in the same boat as his uncle. He only knew how to speak for his uncle and did not think about his own brother. She was so angry that she scolded the eldest brother. The eldest brother had to excuse himself that there were important matters waiting to be dealt with in the office, and then he rubbed the soles of his feet.
Gone in a hurry.
It was obviously his own business, but Guan Bozhou became the one who had the least to say anything. His mother was afraid that he wouldn't be able to accept it, so she came forward to comfort him, "Don't worry, mom will definitely get the best place for you.
Apart from not being named Zeng, in what way is he not better than them? Mingwei got into so much trouble in Guangdong
Annoying, if it weren't for your eldest brother in Shanghai to help him calm down the trouble and suppress the Liu family from resisting, he may not know what would have happened now. If your uncle only cares about the Zeng family and ignores you, I will never agree.
If you make trouble in front of him in Nanjing, he will definitely find a decent seat for you."
The Zeng Mingwei mentioned by his mother was the son of Zeng Shaoquan's deceased eldest brother. After Zeng Shaoquan took the position of acting prime minister, he arranged Guan Boyuan to live in Shanghai, and on the other hand, he arranged the nephew to Guangzhou. Unfortunately, Zeng Mingwei was not that material.
There were many things waiting for Zeng Shaoquan to wipe his ass, which gave Zeng Shaoquan quite a headache.
Guan Bozhou looked at his mother and said helplessly, "I don't want to be an official in politics. I want to be a teacher in a university."
teacher?
Mrs. Guan was stunned on the spot, as if she was looking at a fool. After a while, she said loudly with a white face, "Are you stupid because of reading? Your mind is full of unrealistic ideas. The mayor asked you to
If you don’t do it, you actually want to be a teacher. If word gets out, are you going to make others laugh? You should reject this idea for me as soon as possible, and I will definitely not agree to it.”
