Chapter 574: The Xue Family

After the seventh and a half months, the prefectures will prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Since the last time she was in Shuiyue Nunnery, Linglong shook her face, and the Nie clan was a little unnatural.

Being able to marry the Xue family in Hangzhou is a one-and-done thing for the Jin family. If it was a year ago, she would not have thought of Jin Zifeng, Jin Zifeng was a talent at the age of thirteen, has a great future, and is the eldest son of Xiao Sanfang, his family affairs are naturally not something that she, as an aunt, can call the shots.

But now Jin Zifeng has no chance to take the test, fortunately, he is handsome, has a rich family, and has the sister-in-law of the prince and concubine, and the third master Jin San, who is far away in Fujian, also has a letter, asking his brother and sister-in-law to give Jin Zifeng Zhang Luo's family business.

The so-called high marriage and low marriage, if you talk about the family, ten Xue families are not as good as one Jin family, but the Xue family is the head snake in Hangzhou, although the Jin family also has many shops in Hangzhou, but it is far less convenient than the Xue family.

Today's Jin Zifeng is known as learning to do business with his two brothers, but he spends all day drinking outside in the name of talking about business. There were no elders in the West Mansion to take care of, so he simply bought a few little girls who could sing and raise them in the mansion.

Nie watched coldly, expecting Jin Zifeng to illuminate the lintel, but fortunately, he was not only a son-in-law, but also a married person.

In other words, the only use of Jin Sanye for the Jin family is marriage.

But it is not easy to say goodbye to Jin Zifeng, although there are no parents to take care of, but there is also a fifth aunt and grandmother.

No, the fifth aunt and grandmother saw that the two young ladies of the Xue family couldn't get on the stage like this, and when they left Shuiyue Nunnery, their expressions were faint, and they didn't say anything.

This is completely different from Linglong's previous image of being steady, generous and dignified, Nie knew that Linglong did it on purpose, and she wanted to let herself know that she was dissatisfied with this matter.

So after seven and a half months, Linglong's guests in Shuimu Xiting were endless.

First Xuanji and Linjiang Hou Shizi's wife Gan's, then Linlang also came, and even Huan'er's grandmother Zhang, who rarely went out, also came.

Linglong knew it in her heart, but she never mentioned Jin Zifeng's family affairs.

Until that day, when Yan Xu came back, he heard that the Zhang family had just left, so he asked with a smile: "The second uncle also said that the second uncle and his wife would not dare to go out if she didn't follow the elders, why did she come by herself today?" ”

Linglong raised her eyebrows, and the boss was unhappy to tell the story of that day in Shuiyue Nunnery.

Yan Xu became interested and asked, "This Xue family is the foreign family of Chang Jiu, the household servant?" ”

Linglong shook her head: "I don't know, I just know that Grandma Xue came to the capital to visit relatives, and I think there are relatives here, but that relative should have a general relationship with her, if it is really Chang Shilang's relatives, how can they hire a sedan chair?" ”

Yan Xu disagreed: "Chang Jiu is lonely, and this kind of thing is not impossible to do." I think I'd better ask my second uncle to inquire, if it's really the Xue family, since you don't like those two Miss Xue, then I want it. ”

Linglong was startled, sat up suddenly, and her big apricot eyes were bulging: "You want it?" ”

Yan Xu felt speechless at this time, seeing her like a fried kitten, he couldn't help pinching her nose, laughed, and said: "The Xue family came to the capital with two daughters, and they wanted to marry the big families in the capital, since they are not worthy of being a sister-in-law to Princess Rui, it is okay to marry Prince Rui's staff and entourage." ”

Linglong was still glaring at him and asked, "The Xue family is a big family in Hangzhou, and Zhejiang is also very close to Fujian, what do you want to do?" ”

Since she came back from Wuyi'an, Linglong has been uneasy, and now when she heard Yan Xu talk about the Xue family's idea, she instinctively became worried.

Yan Xu is a glass bottle placed on a high shelf, which cannot be touched.

Yan Xu didn't expect her reaction to be so big, and thought it was because she didn't like the people of the Xue family, and she didn't want him to interfere in this matter.

"The Xue family is in the silk and spice business, but in private it is a smuggling salt seller, that Chang Jiu, when he was young, he also followed a foreign family to sell illicit salt, and after the second brother secretly found out, he used this matter to help him, but he didn't expect Chang Jiu to be ruthless, and he handed it over, saying that he was young and uninhibited, and he had sold illicit salt with the idle gang, but fortunately, the elders in the clan persuaded him in time to let him know his way back."

Linglong couldn't help it, no wonder Yan Xu said that he was lonely and cold, and when King Shou met such a person, he was also unladylike, haha.

"What did the Emperor say?"

Yan Xu said with a smile: "My father is a civil and military official, and he greatly appreciates him for being upright and strict with himself. ”

"Isn't Prince Shou's face ugly?" Linglong said with a smile.

"The second brother originally just took a fancy to his status in the household department and wanted to take it for his own use, but he didn't expect this to be a thorn, so he wanted to avoid it."

Linglong frowned: "Then if you win him over, won't you steal chickens and lose rice?" ”

Yan Xu said: "I borrowed 30,000 taels of silver the year before last, and he asked people to ask for accounts during the New Year's holidays, and he also sued his father, I will win him over this kind of person?" He wanted to be beautiful. ”

Linglong's eyes widened again: "Didn't you say last time that there were only 20,000 taels that you hadn't paid back?" Why are there still 30,000 taels? ”

Yan Xu regretted it so much that he didn't want it, so he had to bite the bullet and laugh dryly: "The 20,000 taels were made from the 24 yamen, and the 30,000 taels belonged to the household department, which is not the same thing." ”

The household department, that is, the treasury, no wonder Chang Jiu was upright and reported to the emperor.

"Can't you take out 30,000 taels?" She didn't believe it, and he bought her a face for 10,000 taels.

Yan Xu took her into his arms, stroked her hair, and said: "Among our brothers, I am the one who has the most money, and outsiders don't know about it, but we brothers know it to each other." If I don't make a gesture of spending money again, I'm afraid my father will come to investigate my net worth. ”

Yan Xu's net worth is invisible.

Needless to say, Bao Jufeng's two rooms of stolen goods alone can blind the eyes of the ancestors of the Yan family.

As long as you want to check these stolen goods, you can find the source.

Besides, Yan Xu can't look down on things that have no provenance, and of course he won't steal what he can't see.

"The money of the household has been owed like this? Chang Jiu complained, what did his father say? ”

Emperor Jingwen's attitude towards Yan Xu is something that Linglong wants to know.

"My father asked me what I was doing with the money, and I said I didn't know, it wasn't enough to spend anyway. My father let me come back, and after a few days, he rewarded me with a 500-acre grange, and planted vegetables for the four seasons in Daxing, and I will take you to play another day. ”

In other words, Chang Jiu's royal confession was announced.

But Chang Jiu's reputation is gone, and even the prince dares to sue, this is not only a loyal minister, but also a capable official.

30,000 taels of silver, one got a Zhuangzi, the other got a good reputation, and a million profits.

"You married the Xue family, is it for Chang Jiu, or for the Xue family?"

"Of course it's the Xue family, the Xue family is very bold, there are more than 20 boats in private, and the famous Yangtze River Gang is his family. Although the Xue family is Chang Jiu's foreign family, they can't count on Chang Jiu, so they can only find another way in the capital, and I can just find a family for their family. ”
