Ling Jiao couldn't help but suspect that he had remembered the wrong person, and there was no obvious sign on his face, so he only smiled: "Childe, do you remember where you saw me?" ”

Su Jinhong was slightly embarrassed, and then sighed: "When I was ten years old, I was a guest at General Fang's Mansion in Hangzhou with my parents, and the girl was also a guest at that time. ”

He said firmly, it seemed that he really had an impression, Ling Makeup knew how to seize the opportunity, where could he still say that he didn't recognize him anymore, so he continued his words: "My mother also read the demeanor of the county lord, and she went to Beijing to see how many houses, and I heard that it was adjacent to your mansion, so she settled on the house." ”

Cheng Ai and Lian Tao both believed it, especially Cheng Ai, who had been holding back and not speaking, and couldn't help it after hearing this: "Great, the Su family's brother and cousin are old acquaintances!" In the future, we can often come to the house to play with you, right? ”

Su Jinhong glanced at her, with a flat face, small eyes and a small nose, even if he was dressed up richly, he was also wearing a dragon robe not like the prince's lower riba, he looked down on her heart, but her face was not shown at all, and her smile was still as warm as a spring breeze: "That's natural, I saw my childhood playmate and was close to me, so I deliberately intercepted the two girls from the door, there is a faux pas, fortunately, don't blame." ”

In fact, Su Jinhong showed a language problem in his words, when he came to visit the door two days ago, Ling Makeup did not show up in the front hall, how can he say that he deliberately went out to intercept his childhood friend?

Cheng Ai looked elsewhere, but didn't pay attention to it at all, Lian Tao was a little strange, and finally wondered if his sister was seen by him when she went out to buy with her a few days ago, and she didn't break it, she just laughed.

Su Jinhong once said that he invited them to sit down first, and sent someone to see if Miss Su had woken up, and so far he did not send his subordinates, everyone sat and chatted with tea, and no one mentioned it.

Although Ling Makeup still couldn't figure out why Su Jinhong said that, she asked for him, and naturally replied skillfully, just trying to make a good impression.

The two briefly recalled the situation in the General's Mansion in Hangzhou back then, in fact, Ling Xiang felt that there was nothing special to recall or intersect with, but even Tao and Cheng Ai and the maids who served listened to it, and they only knew each other.

Lian Tao remembered the advice of his sister and father when he came, and after a while, he opened another sentence: "Brother Su, when I came to the door today, in addition to visiting you, there are some things I want to ask for, and I hope my brother will give me advice." ”

Su Jinhong said: "Even the brothers don't need to be polite, Miss Ling's brothers are just like my brothers and brothers, and it doesn't hurt to say anything." ”

He wanted to put himself in such an affectionate position, Ling Xiang almost couldn't help but mention his father's matter directly to him, and it was easy to restrain his impulse, and look at what kind of attitude Lian Tao had after asking about it, except for being polite.

Lian Tao said: "In the near future, the younger brother will go to Guozijian to study, and he can't take care of family affairs." Jiayan takes care of the business for the aunt, the aunt and the sister mean, want to open a pawnshop and crude medicine shop in Beijing, I heard that my brother has a wide range of friends, I don't know where there is a good court and retired imperial doctor to ask, and I hope that my brother will give you some advice. ”

Su Jinhong smiled gently: "I heard your father mention this matter when I was drinking that day, many people were present at the time, and it was not easy to speak, in fact, I am quite interested in doing business, pawnshops and pharmacies are profitable livelihoods, and courtwork and imperial doctors are also trivial matters, if your aunt and sister do not dislike it, I can get a share, and it will be my own business in the future, why don't you do your best?" You can't even trust each other! ”

With an identity like Su Jinhong, he took the initiative to become a shareholder, which was really unexpected. When the Ling family first arrived in Beijing, they were unfamiliar with the place, and when they met Haoqiang, they might be able to deceive the merchants and bankrupt their families, and with relatives in the palace as backers, their confidence was completely different.

What's more, after Su Jinhong became a shareholder, the matter of Ling Dongcheng could probably be easily solved by the way......

This time, even Mrs. Xu and Miss Su have not met, and there is such good luck like money falling from the sky, which is really unexpected by Ling Makeup, at the moment, she can only blush: "The son is willing to hand over the knots, it is the luck of the family, my uncle must like it when he hears it, but I don't know what the son thinks about the matter of buying shares?" ”

Su Jinhong looked at it gently, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of the girl's jokes, I take strict care of the little mother, I don't know anything about business, I just believe that the girl, plus my thin noodles in Beijing, will definitely be able to make the shop famous." As for the number of shares, the girl can negotiate with Uncle Ling, and then tell me that it doesn't hurt to have more or less. ”

Ling Xiang could only secretly sigh that Su Jinhong was either a strange person, or he was too gentlemanly, and he didn't know the sinister world. He is not familiar with the Ling family, so he dares to say that he has a share, presumably because he feels that his backer is tough, and he is not afraid of others taking food from his mouth?

I didn't think too much for a while, so I first complacently agreed that he discussed it with his uncle and then replied.

Su Jinhong changed his words and said that his father was in the Guozijian office, and he could recommend taking care of Liantao, and the sisters and brothers got up again to thank them.

After the grace was enough, everyone climbed up some things in the elite circle in Beijing.

Cheng Ai was most interested in what he said about King Lu beating Tang Guogong's youngest son on the street, and danced and said: "At that time, this matter was crazy in Beijing, I heard that the young lady of Tang Guogong's family was the favored Concubine Kang Niangniang next to Long Live Lord, King Lu Prince beat him to the point that his teeth were gone, and he was an open-minded son for the rest of his life. ”

Su Jinhong smiled without saying a word, bowed his head and drank tea.

Ling Xiang naturally guessed that it must be the son of the Duke of Tang who was at fault or did something unseemly, since he was beaten to the point that he was toothless, that is, he was punished, and Emperor Shunzuo punished the prince of Lu for grounding, just to save face for the Duke of Tang.

Lian Tao was not interested in the children of these families, thought for a while, and asked: "Brother Su, I have a doubt, it's just a matter of the court, let's talk about it like that, don't you discuss national politics indiscriminately?" ”

"You might as well tell me what's going on." Su Jinhong raised his head.

Jianping, who was standing on the side, called the maids they brought to go outside with great eyes.

Su Jinhong glanced at his back and said to Ling Xuan: "This monkey is too clever!" ”

Ling Xiang smiled: "Exactly, with my younger brother, what other rebellious words can I ask." ”

Ling Makeup has a green temperament when he is quiet, and when he smiles, his eyebrows are extraordinarily charming and gorgeous, and his attractive eyes involuntarily stop, which is in line with the meaning of the more colorful flowers.

Some women look very beautiful at first glance, but they can't look at it for a long time, and some people become more and more beautiful the more they look at it, and Ling Makeup is the latter.

Rao is Su Jinhong has seen a lot of beautiful women, and he still feels that every time he looks at her, he has a different sense of beauty, which is really a strange thing. He calmed down, looked away, and smiled: "Brother Lian, say quickly, don't wait for me to wait for appetite." ”

Lian Tao always felt that the elder brother of the Su family was a little unclear about his cousin, so he couldn't interject, and when he saw that Fang Fang picked up what he thought in his heart, he said: "Last year, the old emperor announced to the world that the eldest son of His Royal Highness King Zhao, the tenth son of the emperor, was the grandson of the emperor, King Guangning, but since the abolition of the prince and the demotion to a concubine, the court has never set up a prince again, so he should be His Royal Highness King Zhao to inherit the unification?" Or the imperial grandson? ”

Lian Tao's question is probably a common doubt among the officials of the DPRK and China and the people of the world.

Ling Xiang knew that this topic was difficult to explain clearly, so it only depended on how Su Jinhong sent him.

Su Jinhong was holding the teacup in his hand, smiled slightly when he heard the words, lowered his head and pulled the tea with the lid for a moment, and said: "Even my brother asked well, I heard that there are many discussions in the court." The emperor has accumulated prestige for many years, and the dragon spirit has been even stronger in recent years, and the king of Guangning is an outlier to the old ministers in the court and even His Royal Highness King Zhao himself. ”

He said it implicitly, Lian Tao was still pondering, Cheng Ai was completely a duck listening to the thunder, but Ling Makeup understood it.

The tenth son of the emperor, King Zhao, neither occupies the long, nor does he occupy the heir, nor does he have much good name and merit, only the honest duty never makes mistakes to be praised, it stands to reason that if the throne is passed to him, he must be canonized by Emperor Zuo's Ming edict, not to mention that before the edict, the ministers will probably put on a variety of reasons against the establishment of him as the prince, and support the prince who is optimistic about him.

The prince is not registered, the grandson is registered, and only when Emperor Shunzuo has held the imperial power for many years, and the ministers dare not die to admonish him, but after the death of the old emperor, whether the father and son of King Zhao can be suppressed is another matter.

"Why is the King of Quang Ninh an outlier?" Lian Tao asked, "The younger brother only knows that since the Dingding Central Plains, the north has often been harassed by the Hu people, and the border defense line was in the early years of Shunzuo, and the southernmost area was shrunk to the Yanji area. A few years ago, the king of Guangning suddenly rose up and wiped out the Hu people, and now the merchants went to the north, and in the summer, they went straight into the barren land, and they could not find any trace of the Hu people. I heard that the iron cavalry led by the king of Quang Ninh has now reached the land of Taixi, which is full of red hairs and green eyes in the west, but it is too far away from our dynasty for the people to move and manage, but many states that have not been heard of since ancient times have bowed down to our court...... In this way, wouldn't His Royal Highness King Guangning, the crown grandson, have more credit than the founding saint ancestor? How can you not suppress the kings? ”

Ling Xiang heard a cold sweat, only to know that his cousin, who was loyal in appearance and studied hard, still had a god-like existence in his heart, and from his expression and excited voice, he revealed his extremely fanatical worship of the King of Guangning, and she seemed to smell the sour and rotten smell of the scholar.

Naturally, King Guangning has been a legend in the mouths of the people of the world in recent years, and the storytellers in the restaurant also have jokes about his various battles.

Su Jinhong also saw Lian Tao's admiration, and said comfortingly: "The title of Guangning, which sounds ordinary, is actually inseparable from his military exploits. To say that it is an outlier is mostly an affirmation of its genius war talent. However, ......" he considered the wording, "His Royal Highness Guangning is not happy with King Zhao at all, and at the age of three or four, he was handed over to Lu Nengkui, the governor of Fuyuan, to take to the border pass, and he grew up in a non-Chinese land, so he received less education, and he also has a nickname that is very loud in Kyoto......"

"I know, I know!" Lian Tao happily grabbed the conversation: "He has a nickname called the bloodthirsty wolf king, according to the legend of the Hu people, the army he leads, every time he captures a place, he will order all his people to be slaughtered, even women and children will not be spared, this nickname is not given by our Central Plains people, it is transmitted from outside the Saiwai, according to the little brother, it must be slander!" ”

Su Jinhong didn't think it was upset, and nodded: "Exactly, many long-standing tribes have become history in his hands. ”

At this point, Ling Xiang understood that Su Jinhong didn't want to see King Guangning at all, and he didn't know who he was supporting behind his back.

"How can the Han family's own heroes listen to the slander of foreigners against him? The foolish people who spread false are hateful! Lian Tao was so anxious that his face was red and his neck was thick.

Su Jinhong's face was slightly unnatural.

Seeing this, Ling Xiang said slowly: "Brother Tao, stop pestering Su Gongzi to talk about the prince!" We, the ordinary people, who inherits the unification are far away. ”

Cheng Ai stroked his palm, and looked at Su Jinhong's slightly yellow cheeks, and there was a flush: "It's better to talk about our four sons of Jinling, and the elder brother of the Su family is one of them." ”
