Chapter 50: Zheng Ziduan

After the old lady saw Gu Juan, she laughed softly: "This is the lady of the Gu family, right? Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Gu Juan sat down as she said, and the maid next to her immediately handed over the fragrant tea, Gu Juan took a sip, and secretly said good tea in her heart.

At this time, Ren Quan coughed lightly and said: "Qin Jia hasn't seen him for half a year, he is still in good spirits, and he is a long-lived woman of the Pan family, and she really lives up to her reputation." ”

Ren Quan told Gu Juan before, although this old lady seems to be kind, but she is the real head of the Yushan Pan family, when he was young, the Pan family had many wives and concubines, this was the stepfamily, but he had a good hand at the business housekeeper, after boiling the wives and concubines to death, the old man Pan had to drive the crane west, and the head of the Pan family was this old lady who had good means.

Such a person will naturally not be so simple.

"The in-laws are too polite, there is a famous doctor in the house, and I will ask him to take a look at your body tomorrow and prescribe some prescriptions to make up for it. ”

"I don't know which famous doctor it is?"

"It's Xiaohe Wang Qigong, but it took the boss's strength to invite him. ”

At this time, Gu Juan secretly said in his heart, since this Wang Qi Gong is in the Pan family, is Wang Kai also there?

Speaking of which, I haven't seen that guy for a few days, I don't know if this guy has studied well, but it's a little worrying.

The banquet of the rich Pan family is naturally very rich, and Ren Quan is looking for a conversation in every possible way, but this old lady is also an old man, and her words are not leaky, but this Ren Quan is not a person who can't hold his breath, so he has to give up and simply leave the matter until tomorrow.

But Gu Juan smelled an unusual smell in it.

Tomorrow, it is estimated that there will be a distinguished guest to welcome the door, otherwise how could this old lady be so secretive after gladly agreeing.

After dinner, the old lady instructed the maids to serve Gu Juan and Ren Xuan'er to rest in the embroidery pavilion next door.

When I woke up on the second day, I found that there was already someone waiting outside the door, and after the maid heard the sound of people in the house, she pushed the door in, and after serving Gu Juan to wash, she combed Gu Juan's hair, and inserted a head full of gold and silver.

The most helpless thing is that the maid took another set of clothes that were so bright that they blinded people's eyes.

Red silk and gold silk, if it weren't for the wrong lines on the clothes, Gu Juan would have thought that this was a wedding dress, Gu Juan looked at this dress and said: "This dress is too gorgeous, I'd better wear my dress yesterday." ”

The maid saw that Gu Juan was about to change her clothes, and hurriedly said: "Lady, no, this is what the old lady ordered, and it can be regarded as a piece of her old man's heart, so don't shirk it." ”

Everyone said so, and Gu Juan couldn't insist, but this time it was a little strange, what kind of calculation did this old lady make?

After Gu Juan simply had breakfast, he went to the old lady's Tianshui Pavilion with Ren Xuan'er.

Before I entered the pavilion, I heard laughter from inside, and when I entered, I found that there were many people in the pavilion.

I saw an exceptionally handsome man standing next to the old lady, dressed in a red robe but not feminine at all, after seeing Gu Juan and Ren Xuan'er, his eyes lit up and he said, "Who is this?"

The old lady smiled and said, "This is Gu Niangzi." ”

The man raised his eyebrows and said softly: "It turns out that this is Gu Niangzi, but it is different from what I expected, but Gu Niangzi's red dress is really worthy of being charming." ”

Gu Juan frowned, his words were already light.

"I don't know who Childe's surname is?"

Men are a little surprised, and most of them are ordinary women who will avoid them silently. But I never thought that this little lady would be so bold.

"At the end of the Lower Zheng Clan. ”

"The little woman's surname is Gu Mingjuan, and she came to discuss the shipping with the Pan family on behalf of her brother today, presumably the son is also interested in this matter, so he came, right?" Gu Juan said frankly, but this Zheng Ziduan was a little overwhelmed.

"I know that the son and the old lady think that I am just a milky little girl, the matter of Cao Yun involves the interests of the southeast officials, easy not to move, just I say lightly, you are contemptuous but it is inevitable, the old lady gave the red clothes and jewelry is meant to persuade women to keep to themselves, do not do such unreasonable things, but the stubborn disease of the Ming Dynasty is there, although I am a woman, but also often listen to my father's brother's teachings, this time the brother entrusted this matter to me, I naturally want to do my best, the elder brother's chest of a Cao Yun opinion to the two, I don't know if the two can give the little girl this opportunityοΌŸβ€

Zheng Ziduan looked at the woman in front of him, and he never thought that this person was so straightforward, but it was a little embarrassing.

The old lady coughed lightly and said: "The lady is so refreshing, then the old body will not sell the guanzi, the lady's idea is good, and it is indeed beneficial to the shipping matter, the lady is so intelligent, if she is born as a man, she will definitely be a well-known figure in the Ming Dynasty." But this Cao Yun matter involves a wide range of things, the lady knows that the power behind Liu Zhengwen, the Taicang Cao Yun official, is not something we can contaminate, not to mention that it also involves military luck, although we know that this is the first profitable business in the Ming Dynasty, but we don't have the courage to do it. ”

After the old lady finished speaking, Zheng Ziduan nodded, he thought about it all night last night, but he also felt that the risk was too great, his Zheng family's foundation was still shallow, far less than the deep roots of the Pan family, the Pan family was so cautious, but his Zheng family could not be so aggressive.

Gu Juan smiled, picked up a cup of tea, and said: "The two of you misunderstood, the elder brother never thought of confronting the Southeast Caoyun officials head-on, and this time I didn't come to let the two of you rush in, I just wanted the two of you to make a demonstration for someone to see." ”

At this time, the old lady's brows furrowed, and she asked, "Who is the lady talking about?"

"The prefect of Suzhou, Feng Rubi, Lord Feng, is not so much this one, but the one who is now in the imperial capital. ”

In the twenty-first year of Jiajing, in October, after the change of Renyin Palace, His Majesty the suspicious emperor moved to Xiyuan, and overhauled Yuxi Palace in the same year, but it coincided with the financial deficit of Jiajing Dynasty, and the repair of Yuxi Palace was postponed, and Emperor Jiajing, who was already very unhappy because of the assassination, was even more angry.

The old lady frowned, although she was just a woman, but she also knew the character of His Majesty now, but she still had some doubts in her heart, but she never thought that Zheng Ziduan would speak at this moment: "What the lady said is very reasonable, but whenever there is reform, there must be an extremely sharp focus, and we seem to lack this point, Lord Feng has a gentle personality and has been an official for decades, although he can be regarded as a good edification, but with all due respect, he is not a person who is determined to reform, and at this time the situation between the DPRK and China is unstable, and the cabinet struggle is fierce, I'm afraid?" ”

"That's why I came to the old lady, the starting point of anything is nothing more than profit. There are not a few big families involved in shipping in Suzhou and even Nanzhili, although there are many officials, but with all due respect, it seems that there is not much say in the power center of the Ming Dynasty, and the Pan family and the Zheng family, who are the leaders here, are not worried at all?"

The old lady and Zheng Ziduan glanced at each other, and the old lady sighed and said, "How old is the lady's brother?"

"Eighteen. ”

"What a young talent. ”

Gu Juan smiled, looked at the old lady and said, "Thank you for the old lady's compliment." ”

"Have you ever been married?"

"Not yet. ”
