Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 2699 2701【Reciprocate】

   Soon after Jin Runzhi left, the Spring Festival was approaching.

  Despite the turmoil in the political situation, the common people still have to celebrate the New Year. The shops began to decorate with lanterns and festoons, and the atmosphere became much more cheerful.

  As the Spring Festival was approaching, Xiang Nan was worried about what reason he should give Leng's family New Year's goods without being rejected by Leng Qingqiu. On the contrary, he received the New Year's goods from Song Runqing first.

   "Yanxi, my uncle entrusted me to give this to you." Leng Qingqiu took out two packs of presents, and found a pack of ice flakes and a pack of deer antler.

   "Why is uncle so polite." Seeing this, Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Actually, I should give him a gift."

  Different from Jin Yanxi who pursued Leng Qingqiu hard, for this reason she frequently interacted with the Jin family, and even moved to live next door.

  Xiang Nan didn't have much contact with the Jin family, that is, at the beginning, in order to get closer, he invited them to watch a play, and even went to their house for a light meal.

  On the one hand, people’s hearts are greedy. If you have to travel too much, it is easy to breed thoughts that you shouldn’t have. For example, Song Runqing, it was not enough to work in a diplomatic agency, but she still wanted to ask Jin Yanxi to introduce her to Jin Quan;

  On the one hand, I often walk by the river, so I don’t get my shoes wet. If you come and go too closely, you will inevitably be seen. Once spread, it is bound to cause disputes. He didn't want to mess with Bai Xiuzhu yet, so he kept this matter as secret as possible.

   "You still don't know what he is, he just wants to get promoted and make a fortune." Leng Qingqiu curled her lips and said, also quite dissatisfied with her uncle.

"It's not a bad thing to want to be promoted and get rich. A young husband must not be without money for a day, and a big man must not be without power for a day. No matter how noble you are, you still have to eat." Xiang Nan laughed, "Uncle also had to pay for five buckets of rice because of the hard life. Bow down. If I reincarnated so well, I wouldn’t be like this.”

   Leng Qingqiu nodded upon hearing this.

  …

  Xiang Nan then reciprocated and ordered Jin Rong to send a batch of New Year's goods to Leng's family.

  Six bolts of silk, six altars of good wine, six packs of southern goods, one set of honey offering, and one pack of wild ginseng will cost three to four hundred yuan in total.

  "Young master Jin is generous. My pack of ice flakes and deer antler cost only 50 yuan. You said it was too expensive. I said you were petty at the time, and I didn't want my children to be able to trap wolves.

  How it is now, looking at the table full of gifts, it is more than four or five times. "Song Runqing said triumphantly to Mrs. Leng.

   "Greatness is generous, it's just too expensive." Mrs. Leng looked at the table full of gifts, but felt a little ashamed.

  The so-called courteous to others, must have something to ask for. Xiang Nan sent so many gifts, how much is he asking for? Can the Leng family afford it?

   "Hey, you don't understand that. A rich family like the Jin family doesn't care about these things when they interact with people. They see it in their hearts. The so-called money is like dung, and friendship is worth a thousand gold. Do you still care about it like ordinary people?

  You forgot that in "Dream of Red Mansions", when Grandma Liu entered Rongguo Mansion for the second time, she just gave some wild vegetables and fruits, but you can see how much the Jia Mansion gave her in return, which would not be worth a thousand taels of silver. "Song Runqing pouted.

   Mrs. Leng also felt reasonable when she heard it.

  There is nothing in their family, and they don't want anything from her family, so she really doesn't need to worry.

  …

   Chinese New Year is naturally very lively for the Jin family.

   Worshiping ancestors, receiving guests, visiting relatives and friends... can't be free for a few days.

  Going back to the door in the third day of junior high school, Xiang Nan and Bai Xiongqi faced each other to have a drink.

   "Yanxi, according to the teacher, I have the idea of ​​retreating." Bai Xiongqi said to Xiang Nan.

   Years ago, Jin Quan gathered a group of his students together, revealing that he wanted to retire. Bai Xiongqi has always been ambitious, but sensitive and suspicious.

  Worried that Jin Quan didn't want to really retire, but to see who had the heart of disobedience, so he deliberately asked Xiang Nan.

"I have this idea." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Father is old after all, and his energy is low. He always hurts here and there. Even if he wants to serve the country, there is really nothing he can do. Besides, the sixth sister's matter is also given to him. It was quite a blow, so my father did have the idea of ​​retiring."

   "So that's true." After hearing this, Bai Xiongqi's eyes lit up, but then he sighed, "Hey, I wanted to follow my teacher and contribute more to the country, but I didn't expect..."

  Xiang Nan rolled his eyes when he saw his style. He has known for a long time that Bai Xiongqi has the ambition to be a superior, but on the surface he has always regarded himself as Jin Quan's student, which is really hypocritical.

   But to be honest, the more such a person is, the more likely he can climb to a high position. Because it is clearly stated in "Yes, Minister" that Zheng Zhi has nothing to do with morality.

   "Father is old after all, and can't afford to be a leader anymore. On the contrary, elder brother is young and vigorous, has been in politics for many years, has rich experience, and has high prestige at home and abroad, so he should take more responsibility." Xiang Nan laughed.

"Where is it?" Bai Xiongqi was happy to hear him say this, but he still waved his hands and smiled, "Actually, you should inherit the mantle of the teacher. Yanxi, you are younger than me, more talented than me, and more famous than me." There is no shortage. You should enter politics and take over the position of teacher."

   "Brother, I have no hair in my mouth and I can't do things well. Let me be the prime minister, wouldn't it be a big joke in the world." Xiang Nan laughed, "It's still big brother. In terms of qualifications, status, and ability, he should take on this important task."

  In fact, Bai Xiongqi took over as prime minister, which is also considered appropriate.

  On the one hand, Jin Quan is indeed old, and now that he has retired, he can still work as an apartment and enjoy more than ten years of happiness. If I don't go to Lianzhan, I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to enjoy the happiness.

  On the one hand, Xiang Nan and Bai Xiuzhu are deeply in love with each other, while Bai Xiongqi has no offspring, only her is the younger sister. So in order to take care of his younger sister, even if he became the prime minister, he would have to take care of the Jin family a lot. Instead of killing everything like in the play.

   Besides, passing and seizing are different. Passing is active, seizing is passive.

When it was handed over to Bai Xiongqi as Prime Minister, Jin Quan would naturally lay down his hands in order to control Bai Xiongqi, and he would be much more calm; but being taken away by Bai Xiongqi as Prime Minister was to be uprooted by others. The remaining power is gone.

  Of course, the Beiyang government will not be able to survive for a few years, and Bai Xiongqi, the prime minister, will not be able to be the prime minister for a few years either. Xiang Nan only let him be a transition, lest Jin Quan be directly affected.

  In the play, he died because he couldn't bear the blow of losing the position of prime minister.

   "Haha, where is it." Bai Xiong laughed, although he repeatedly denied it, but the joy at the corners of his eyes and brows completely exposed his heart.

  …

   "Yanxi, brother, I just went home after a lot of trouble, so you don't have to talk about these official affairs all the time. It's really frustrating to hear." Bai Xiuzhu said with a curl of her lips.

   During the past few days during the Chinese New Year, the Jin family had many visitors, and most of the conversations were about official affairs. I didn't expect to go home and still have these things, which is really annoying.

   "Okay, let's not talk about these. Let's talk about you and Yanxi, when are you going to have a baby?" Bai Xiongqi laughed, and then asked.

  Bai Xiuzhu stopped talking immediately.
