After Boss Lin left, Zhao Changqing was unhappy for a few days.

Yaoyao said, "I have also used Boss Lin's materials, an excellent person, she went to the imperial capital, even if the materials are still good, I always feel that something is missing." ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Mrs. Luo, who has just taken over Boss Luo's family, is also kind, but she doesn't have the feeling of Sister Lin." ”

Yaoyao smiled, "That's it." ”

Zhao Changqing said goodbye from Yaoyao, and was lamenting that Boss Lin had gone to the imperial capital, and there was one less friend in the border city, and it was unknown what year and month it had been since he met Boss Lin again. Then he heard a burst of gongs and drums, and the sound of people was boiling, and then the carriage stopped, and Yongfu asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Outside, the coachman said, "There is a happy team passing by on the archway street, and the knocking and beating occupy the road." Madam, the little one can't disperse for a while, so let's take a detour. ”

Even if the procession passes through the torii street, it will not even be able to walk. Zhao Changqing lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, and saw that the happy team was impressive, not majestic, but majestic, and it was just a matter of being a parent, but this happy team was walking, and there were eight servants on black horses who kept sprinkling money on the street, attracting the people to rob. Zhao Changqing couldn't help frowning and asked, "Who is this family married?" "Even if you want to scatter money, go to the temple to give alms, go to the school to donate the school, go to the army to donate military rations, what is better than spilling money on the street? How much money can be spilled in this way, but the people rob it, it is easy to collide and have an accident, I really don't know whether it is true or false.

Because the archway street was really lively, the coachman pulled a person nearby to inquire, and replied to Zhao Changqing, "It is said that Miss Biao of the General's Mansion married Uncle Feng, who is in the military food business in our border city." ”

I couldn't find anything on the street, so Zhao Changqing just asked casually and told the coachman, "Let's take a detour." ”

The coachman was also clever, sent Zhao Changqing home, and inquired on the street to understand the ins and outs of this family affair, and said to Zhao Changqing in the evening, "Miss Cousin of the General's Mansion is the girl of the General's wife's mother's family, and the sister of the young general's wife, who was originally raised in her hometown, and it was the family affair promoted by Uncle Li, the younger brother of the young general's wife." Uncle Feng was in the military food business, and he heard that he made a lot of money, so he married a lady from an official family. ”

Zhao Changqing asked, "Do you know which Uncle Feng is?" ”

The coachman said, "It is said that it is the son of a widow and wife of the Zhu family." ”

Zhao Changqing immediately thought of Feng Jian, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and this matter was not in a hurry. Zhao Changqing said, "I know." After you have dinner, go to Lizi's house, and tell Lizi, when you have time to go to my medicine hall, I have something to discuss with him. ”

The coachman took the order.

Xia Wen was sorting out his bookshelf, couldn't hear clearly, and asked, "What's wrong?" Uncle Li and Uncle Feng again? ”

Zhao Changqing went over to help sort it out and said, "It's not a thing, I came out of Qingyun Lane today, and I saw a happy team welcoming relatives passing by the archway street through the archway street, what a big pomp." ”

"It's not unusual for the pomp and circumstance to be big, but while the happy team is walking, there are people on horses and throwing money, which attracts many people to bow their heads and fight." Zhao Changqing handed the book in his hand to Xia Wen, and Xia Wen said, "This family is not sick, and there is no need to scatter money everywhere like this." Ordinary people, earning a few hundred dollars a month is more, seeing someone sprinkle money all over the ground, but not red-eyed, a fight is easy to fight, that is, a happy event, it is human nature to be lively, what is the fun of really making a fight? ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Who said it wasn't." ”

Xia Wen placed the book neatly and said, "That young general's wife's younger brother, Uncle Li, I am familiar with it, is it the person who made it difficult to find his father before?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Your memory is good." ”

"I remembered him as soon as I heard it." Xia Wen smiled, "But the person surnamed Feng has something to do with the Zhu family, so he is still a distant relative of us." "The grandmother of the Yue family was born in the Zhu family, and the two old men of the Zhu family passed away the year before last, and Zhao Changqing was extremely sad. Xia Wen kept it in his heart.

Zhao Changqing's face was slightly cold, "What kind of bullshit distant relative is he." He told Xia Wen how Feng Jian designed the secret recipe for her bun shop and how Xiao Lihua escaped, and said, "When he was a child, he had trouble with A-Ning Abai in school, and A-Ning Abai was almost abducted when he was young, all because of him. ”

Xia Wen suddenly scolded an extremely ugly swear word, Zhao Changqing looked at him blankly, Xia Wen asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I didn't expect Dr. Xia to scold." ”

Xia Wen smiled, "I haven't heard Dr. Zhao say 'bullshit' before." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Xia Wen asked Zhao Changqing, "Do you think I'm not as gentle and elegant as you think?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I'm not gentle like water, don't dislike anyone." ”

The two talked a few words, and Xia Wen reiterated the old words, and said, "Our family and the person surnamed Feng are not ordinary grievances, not to mention that although your father was implicated last time, you often went to Qingyun Lane." That Uncle Li can't even look at us, this grievance has already been settled. You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people. When the pear comes, you will also tell me to hear it, and although I have no idea, I cannot let you take care of it alone. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Okay." ”

The two sorted out the bookshelves, Zhao Changqing ordered Yahuan to bring warm water, the two washed their hands, and Xia Yu came to call them to dinner.

The pears came over at noon on the second day, and they happened to eat together in Zhao Changqing's courtyard.

Zhao Changqing talked about the marriage between Feng Jian and the Li family, and the coachman could only inquire about the surface, but Lizi was familiar with the inside story, and said, "The general's wife and the young lady are aunts and nephews, and they were born in the imperial capital of the Li family. The Li family is in decline, and now the biggest official in the family is the six-grade editor of the Hanlin Academy. Otherwise, Li Yun would not have been able to go to the border city to seek an errand. This Miss Li, who married Feng Jian, is indeed Li Yun's sister, the niece of the general's wife, but it is the same, she is a concubine, and it is not comparable to the background of the general's wife and the young lady. Li Yun was originally a small official in the military quartermaster, the official is not big, but it is a first-class fat difference, Feng Jian leaned on Li Yun's big tree when he went to the general's mansion. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Feng Jian is in the military food business, and it is not unusual for him to befriend Li Yun, but he is just a businessman, how can he marry the real lady of the Li family?" Even if it's a concubine, I think it's strange. If Feng Jian gave his sister to Li Yun, it would be easy for people to understand. ”

Lizi laughed mockingly, "Feng Jian has a younger sister, but she married a grandchild of the Zhu family's seventh room early. He wanted to befriend Li Yun, so he bought a few Jiangnan people, and recognized one of them as his sister and made Li Yun a concubine. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "This Feng Jian is not without means." ”

"It's not too unusual." Lizi said, "Now our business is also big, but it can't be compared with his military food business." Even the big grain merchants in Huguang have to eat according to the face of the surname Feng, but his hand is stretching longer and longer, and he even has to intervene in the medicinal herb business. ”

Zhao Changqing was puzzled, "The Feng family has an ordinary background, even if there are some old backgrounds, it is limited, that is, no matter how capable Feng Jian is, I heard that the price of military food is much cheaper than the food on the market, the Chen family has only been in the border city for more than six years, how can Feng Jian have so much money and still meddle in the medicinal herb business?" ”

Lizi said, "The business in the hands of this grandson is not his own business, as far as I know, the silver in his hand is put together, and the usury of five cents a month is borrowed from everywhere." ”

Xia Wen exclaimed, "Such a high interest. ”

"This silver, it's not easy to borrow at the beginning, Feng Jian sends the interest of each family every month, for example, if you make your family 10,000 taels of silver, the monthly interest will be 500 taels. The shop between the archways, the best location, a shop is only 500 taels. Lizi said, "Feng Jian pays interest every month, and now there are people who want to lend him money, three cents, two cents, even one cent, and there are still people who want to lend him money." ”

Zhao Changqing pondered, "It's strange that he dares to meddle in the medicinal herb business." ”

Xia Wen was born in a family of scholarly officials, and he was also sensitive to this, and said, "Business money is still a trivial matter, for example, Feng Jian used the silver of an official and general to give him usury, to put it bluntly, it is a benefit equally." Not only did he earn money, but his relationship with officials and generals in the border city was naturally good. ”

"yes." Zhao Changqing was worried, her grudge with Feng Jian had already been settled, and the solution could not be solved, but it was just to hinder all parties in the first place, so she stopped for the time being. At that time, when Feng Jian was young, she could do things like bribes to trouble Zhao Changning, but to this day, Xiao Lihua'er's matter is still an unsettled account, even if she is willing to take a step back, Feng Jian can hardly guarantee that she will not cut the grass and eradicate the roots!

Lizi didn't want Zhao Changqing to be sad about Feng Jian's matter, and said, "Don't worry, I'm staring at this kid." He is married to the cousin of the major general, and I am not necessarily afraid of him! "In the past few years, Pear has been with Li's shopkeeper and has experienced a lot. He remembered his own hatred more clearly, so as soon as Zhao Changqing asked him about Feng Jian, he was like a treasure.

Zhao Changqing didn't have any good ideas for a while, so he had to tell Lizi, "If Feng Jian makes any more moves, don't tell me, you have to be careful when you go out by yourself." ”

Zhao Lizi smiled, "It's really long-winded, if you can't even arrange your own safety, you dare to go out?" ”

Zhao Lizi was just about to say goodbye, but Zhao Changqing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Lizi, you said that I should mix in the medicinal herb business?" ”

Zhao Lizi grabbed the teacup and drank half of the tea, and said, "This business in the army, to be honest, is no different from ordinary business, but it is the same, and it has to have a good relationship with the army." If there are no acquaintances in the army, this business will not be easy to do. Moreover, if you have acquaintances in the army, where do the medicinal materials come from, you still have to have a way of medicinal materials. This is the way to enter a large number of medicinal materials, not a trivial matter of dozens of catties of which medicine you go to in the medicine hall. ”

The corners of Zhao Changqing's lips pursed and said with a smile, "These two things happen to be complete." "Zheng Miaojia gave her a favor before, but she hasn't used it yet. Feng Jian grew up step by step, and Zhao Changqing's several businesses were good enough for life. Even if her father saved the queen, love can't be wasted on such trivial things. What's more, the county officials are not as good as the current management. People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries. In case Feng Jian really sits big, she and Lizi will be in danger.
