Qing Dynasty: After Kangxi Kowloon heard my voice

Chapter 392: Can be used

"I also think that one is too imposing. It looks very handsome at first glance," Wen Yao said, and then she looked at Yinzhen, and they both looked at He Er at the same time.

He Er looked at the one they chose, then looked at the one opposite, "..."

After a moment of silence, he said, "This is what my shop wants customers to think the most. There is an element of luck in cockfighting, but it also depends on the quality of the cock. Master Jiu, please take a closer look at the other one."

Yinzhen and Wenyao then looked over, and Yinzhen narrowed his eyes, "Which one has participated in the cockfight before? Or, is the one fighting the cock one of yours?"

"Yes, there are two kinds of fighting cocks for sale. The fighting cocks sold outside the store are only the most energetic ones. The other kind are those that have had fighting cock experience and are specially trained. Only those who have been arranged can get them. The price is much higher than the other kind. However, this arrangement will only have a few fights a month, or once every few months. As long as the store can make a profit every month, it's fine," He Er explained carefully. "In fact, it really depends on the fighting cocks. There are also some, but this is basically not very useful."

However, He Er still explained it, and Yinzhen and Wen Yao heard it clearly.

The two of them listened attentively, but Wen Yao was still expressing her own thoughts in her heart.

[It can be seen that He Er is very excited, but he can control his thoughts and continue to talk to us about cockfighting. This person has experienced both good and bad luck in the past few years without the normal imperial examinations. ]

Yinzhen nodded in agreement. What his own Yaoyao said was indeed right. He was able to suppress his own thoughts and excitement and continue with his original purpose of coming to see him without being overwhelmed by the excitement in his heart. What this person has experienced over the years really proved the saying that fortune goes with misfortune and misfortune goes with fortune.

It was a blessing in disguise as he had the experience in the court ahead of time, so all his emotions were settled, and he actually picked up a good talent.

[But, Tangtang, do you really want to give him to the Emperor? If you give away a talent for nothing, he won't even gain the Emperor's trust.] Wen Yao saw Yinzhen nod, then looked at the cockfighting scene below, and remembered what Yinzhen said just now that he would recommend He Er to the Emperor at a good time. She felt that this behavior would be a thankless task for the Emperor.

Yinzhen looked at He Er and said, "You go down first. I don't need you here right now. When they are done, have someone bring the two I like down to fight. Just let me know before the fight."

"Yes, what's the matter with Master Jiu and Madam? Just shout, there will be someone outside ready to serve you," He Er said respectfully with his head slightly lowered, then slowly retreated.

After taking him away, Yinzhen looked at his own Yaoyao and replied: "Introducing him to the emperor's father is because He Er's heart wants to enter the court, not just to send someone to the emperor's father."

Yinzhen's tone was full of helplessness and a hint of loneliness, but it was not easy to detect. However, Wen Yao noticed it, but she would not say it out loud. Some things don't need to be said out loud, it's enough to understand them.

"Yaoyao, to the Emperor, there is no one he trusts 100%. Even to all the court officials in the court today, they are just tools for the Emperor to rule the Qing Dynasty. Everyone is dispensable. After I recommend He Er, He Er will be labeled as my master. He can only be my ninth master for the rest of his life. This is not only the case in the eyes of the Emperor, but also in the eyes of all the court officials and my brothers. If he betrays me one day, he will be labeled a traitor for the rest of his life. Unless I die, otherwise, if he really betrays me one day, only death will be waiting for him."

"Yaoyao is worried that the Emperor will suspect what my purpose is. But if I am open and honest, and even recommend my advisers or housekeepers to the Emperor, the Emperor will know everything after investigation. Then what I have established in the past should be called a persona. Isn't this what Yaoyao has always emphasized? My persona will not change, and I will be open and honest in front of the Emperor."

"Tangtang is really thoughtful. What she said is true. We do not need such a person around us. Although he is useful, his heart is not here. Even if he always thinks so, he can be a good official and a good talent. It's a pity that he is not the steward who is loyal to us, which we need." Wen Yao smiled. If He Er is really sincere, he will be a good official in the future. But he is not the steward who is loyal to them, or the counselor who is loyal to them, which she and Tangtang need.

"So, recommending this person to the Emperor is indeed a good strategy, killing two birds with one stone." Wen Yao paused and continued:

"In that case, Tangtang, then his eldest brother must stay with us. Since he has a wide network of contacts in the underworld, many things can be done through him," Wen Yao smiled as she thought of the shop she and Tangtang had opened, as well as their future plans. They had no intention of fighting, but they wanted to open shops throughout the Qing Dynasty and to protect themselves. It was also necessary to build some forces, such as some so-called teahouses and get some intelligence. All the shops they opened would need a certain number of bodyguards, and he had a wide network of contacts in the underworld, so he could make use of them.

Some martial arts heroes regard gold and silver as dirt, but most people still need these vulgar things to survive.

"Yaoyao, what you just said is what I think in my heart. I think so. For me, there are many upright things that need He Er to do. At the right time, I will push He Er to the emperor. This He Da will stay by my side and contribute to our plan to open stores all over the Qing Dynasty."

After He Er finished speaking, Yinzhen already had a rough arrangement for the two brothers. However, these two brothers would not get his 100% trust, nor would they do some things that really needed to be done in secret. As a counselor, He Er was unqualified, so Yinzhen would not trust his brothers wholeheartedly.

Yinzhen and Wen Yao looked at each other and finally stopped talking because their cockfighting had already started downstairs. Someone knocked on the door and Yinzhen let the person in. After the two placed their bets, the person went downstairs.

Afterwards, the two of them watched the cockfighting intently and became excited as well, but they did not follow the loud shouting from below. In the end, Yinzhen's fighting cock won, and for the two of them, they neither won nor lost. They just lost the money they had used to buy a chicken, which was okay.

But there was one person down there who was very excited.
