Chapter 427 Envy and Jealousy (Part 2)

As soon as the servant left, Pobedonostsev asked impatiently, "Alexander, what's the matter? Does Your Highness need anything from you?"

Bariatinsky looked around calmly, and replied in a low voice: "Don't yell, it's a good thing, now is not the place to talk, just do what you have to do, we'll talk later, by the way, don't show timidity!"

Shy?

Pobedonostsev didn't know what to reveal, but he was also a clever man, and he understood what Bariatinsky meant in a second.

Immediately, he returned to the depressed look of his father and mother getting married again, as if he was extremely dissatisfied and helpless with the status quo.

It has to be said that Bariatinsky's caution is very necessary, because Count Uvarov specifically explained to Adlerberg and his son before leaving, and asked them to keep an eye on Bariatinski to see what he did.

The Adlerbergs and his sons naturally obeyed Count Uvarov's instructions. They kept a close eye on Bariatinsky's every move, for fear that he would play tricks!

"Is there something wrong?" asked old Adlerberg.

"No," replied little Adlerberg, shaking his head. "The prince is not in a good mood, and apart from whispering a few words to Pobedonostsev, he seems listless."

Old Adlerberg asked again: "Did you hear what he said to Pobedonostsev? These two people are extremely important, and it is very important to find out what they are discussing!"

Little Adlerberg smiled bitterly: "They are extremely vigilant, and they will definitely not discuss it openly here. Even if they have something to say, they will say it in a safe place."

Old Adlerberg glared at his son, and said dissatisfiedly, "It's all your fault for your incompetence. If you could break into Bariatinsky's inner circle earlier, I wouldn't be so troublesome with you!"

Although the little Adlerberger was obviously dissatisfied with Lao Tzu's criticism, he did not dare to speak back, and could only slander in his heart: "It's not as easy as you say, you think he is a fool, you don't know that you are flattering Uvaro Count Husband? How could you accept me?"

As the saying goes, knowing a son is like a father, what did little Adlerberg think? Old Adlerberg is naturally clear, and the old fox snorted coldly and criticized: "Don't think you are a fool, you think I don't know you What are you complaining about? Let me tell you, it’s because of your lack of power. I think your old man was a fish in water when he swam between several forces, otherwise our family would have the status we have now? If you learned my five things, you would It’s not what it is today!”

Thinking of little Adlerberg's ineffective old fox is full of resentment,

Such a good opportunity back then was messed up by this kid, and even dragged him down. If there is no son who is better than this kid, he really wants to sever the father-son relationship with this kid!

Even so, he also scolded little Adlerberg a few words, and then ordered viciously: "I don't care what methods and means you use, you must try to get into the inner circle of Prince Bariatinsky... I told you You, the future must belong to that duke, if you can't get on well with him, there really won't be any future attendance!"

It's not that Little Adlerberg doesn't know this truth, nor does he not understand the painstaking efforts of his old father, but he is really beyond his power!

"...Of course I know this truth. The problem is that Bariatinsky is completely different from people like Count Uvarov. Those old guys pay attention to background and family status. As long as you are willing to curry favor with them, they are willing to take them with you. looking at you! But..."

Little Adlerberg sighed faintly: "But Bariatinsky and his group are completely different. They also value your family background, but pay more attention to whether you are useful to them. If you want to gain their approval, You have to work hard...but!"

Little Adlerberg sighed heavily and said helplessly: "But you warned me not to really offend Count Uvarov and the others. Duke Ski's approval, but if you try your best, you may offend Count Uvarov, which is very contradictory!"

Old Adlerberg was also speechless for a while. The current officialdom is still very different from his back then. It is not so difficult to step on two boats. Back then, he was able to fool a few forces, but now Bariatinsky and others don't see the rabbits and don't scatter the eagles. If you can't create value for them, then they don't care about you at all.

This is simply killing the wall, okay? Anyway, he has no good way for a while, so he can only take a step first.

He could only advise: "Do your best. I have observed that Count Uvarov and Bariatinsky and others are still in a stalemate in recent years. Observe and observe the direction for our county, and then make a decision!"

When Adlerberg and his son were having a headache and worrying about the future, Bariatinsky and Pobedonostsev were actually talking about their father and son, and their impression of this pair of father and son was indeed not very good.

It's normal to think about it, no one will have a good impression of a fool who just wants to make a profit without working hard. If it weren't for the fact that the father and son are both skilled dancers, they are still needed sometimes, otherwise Bariatinsky and Pobedonostsev would not want to talk to them.

"What are the father and son doing?"

Pobedonostsev shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing to see them sneaking around!"

Bariatinsky snorted coldly and said, "Konstantin, it's fortunate that you reminded me that there was something wrong with them. Now it seems that you have not misunderstood the father and son at all. They are wretched, shameless and just want to take advantage." , it is obvious that they are the eyes and ears of Count Uvarov!"

Pobedonostsev hummed and said, "I just don't know what instructions they received from Count Uvarov this time."

Bariatinsky said disdainfully: "What else can we do, just monitor our every move!"

Pobedonostsev shook his head and said, "Not really, although the father and son have little other skills, it's a bit of a talent just to spy on the news... And we haven't given them good looks for a while. No matter it is their father and son or Count Uvarov, they all know that this method will not work, and it is impossible to do it again!"

Bariatinsky was stunned for a moment. He still attached great importance to Pobedonostsev's opinion. After all, Pobedonostsev's wisdom is still very useful, and he began to pay attention to it now.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Why don't you try to test it out and see what they're up to?"
