Wu Shi persuaded Ji Qingchen and said anxiously:

"Big lady, this family business can't be settled. The second master of their family is not a businessman like Chen Gangshou who just wants money, he wants to be decent and affordable. used to think that the Sun family was poor and refused to marry their family. Now I feel that our Tang Fang is rich, and it is not as good as the Sun family, who was born in the Yamen. If he were a smart man, Bazhenzhai's business would not have lost money in the past ten years. ”

“……”

Ji Qingchen only knew that Second Master Chen was not very good at business, but he didn't expect that he couldn't make up his mind about family affairs, "What does Gongzi Wenchang mean...... And he agreed? ”

"Big lady. Gongzi Wenchang is the son of the second master, and he usually respects Sun Zhao above his parents. His sister-in-law said that he wanted a dowry, and the second master said that anyway, when Tangfang moved to Quanzhou, there would be a port of Penghu Island, and he would make money every day. Whether there are shares of these Bazhen Zhai or not is not a big deal at all, and Gongzi Wenchang is afraid that he will listen to it. ”

Through the withered plum branches stretching obliquely through the forest, Lou Yun saw from a distance that in addition to Ji Ruiniang, there were two women beside her.

He didn't stop either.

Among them, the thin black woman he had seen.

Wu Shi is the deputy manager of the Quanzhou branch, and from time to time he has to go to the yamen of the city to do things.

She is here now, of course, to tell Chen Wenchang and the Sun family about their old relatives ten years ago.

He had heard Chen Hong talk about this matter a long time ago.

Over the years, Chen Wenchang has indeed not had many rumors, but he said a family affair when he was sixteen years old. Let his temperament become more and more stubborn.

When Chen Wenchang was young, before preparing for the township examination, Chen Hong, his cousin, personally hired a teacher for him.

The Chen family spent a lot of money to invite an old scholar to the Fuzhou official school, just to give him a small stove to make up for the lesson.

The pedant's surname was Sun, and he was in poor health at that time and wanted to come to Quanzhou to treat his illness with Tibetan medicine, so he complained in the yamen and brought the whole family over.

It is said that Sun Xuexue really taught Chen Wenchang very well.

Because his two sons are not as good as Chen Wenchang's qualifications, and he sees that Chen Wenchang has a simple temperament and respects teachers, he only regards Chen Wenchang as his own son.

Sun Xuejiu lived in Chen's mansion for three years, and after he recovered from his illness, he did not return to Fuzhou to learn Taoism and reinstate his position, risking losing his official position all to teach him.

Chen Wenchang also lived up to his high expectations, and sure enough, he was admitted to the lifting of people once, and the Chen family's parents were of course grateful.

However, because Sun Xue cultivated a young man, he was full of ambition and lost his sense of proportion for a while.

He deliberately talked about family affairs with Chen Wenchang for his daughter, but he didn't think about going to test a thing or two with the Chen family's parents first, but suddenly got excited after the drunkenness of the Xie Shiyan.

He directly asked Chen Wenchang about his family.

Chen Wenchang has been studying wholeheartedly for many years, but his family is very strict in controlling women, so he can raise people in high school at the age of sixteen.

And Sun Xueji hoped that he would become a talent, and he never thought of letting him meet his daughter.

When he was in the middle of the move, Chen Wenchang was spoiled by his family and clan, and when he was sixteen years old, he didn't know the stakes in this marriage, but he simply felt that the teacher's cultivation grace could not be repaid.

Even if the daughter is a saltless mother-in-law, the teacher opened his mouth and he answered without ambiguity.

But the second old man and his wife finally had a son, how could they marry a poor pedant?

They quietly discussed with Chen Hong, and prepared three times the reward to Sun Xuexue, without mentioning a word about family affairs.

The Sun family also knew that they didn't look down on their family.

I didn't want to pay for it, and the whole family went back to Fuzhou.

Chen Wenchang is a young man, and he is used to being spoiled by his father and mother, where can he agree to such a result? So it was a big fuss at home. This time, his parents didn't follow his wishes.

He was scolded by the second master for being unfilial, and the second old man and his wife cried and suppressed it in distress, and since then he has grown crooked.

Taking advantage of the tradition of traveling abroad for a long time after the middle lift, he left Quanzhou with his luggage on his back and went out to travel.

Ji Qingchen listened to Wu Shi talk about the cause and effect, and was silent for a while.

"He has been traveling to various academies for five or six years, and he often corresponds with that Sun Zhao?"

Chen Wenchang sat in the museum to teach and earn travel expenses, and she heard his little dragon talk about it.

"That's right!"

Wu Shi crackled and spat out a string of old things,

"Big lady, then Sun Zhao can't be relatives. Otherwise, we won't be able to stand in Quanzhou. Lord Lou has been an official in Quanzhou for four years, and the old man Sun impeached him thirteen times, the first time was for his house to receive the Yi girl sent by the merchants, the second was that he and Xie Shisan held a banquet in the official restaurant to hang a picture of the beauty, and also called the students to chant poems for the beauty, the third was that he befriended the maritime merchants, the fourth was that he withheld the grain and silk of the clan, and the fifth was ......"

“……”

She listened carefully, and almost all the things that Lou Yun told her to hear about were scolded by this Sun scholar.

"Big lady, forget about the small things, but I heard about the bronze mirror case this time, this Sun Xue scolded Lord Lou for not educating the people, but instead instructed the merchants of the Fan to file a lawsuit at a higher level, and trapped the official family in the injustice of not being close to him. This is a major event that will be disgraced. ”

When Ji Qingchen heard the bronze mirror case, he knew that this matter was really troublesome.

She also weighed left and right for a lot of days before she decided to write a testimony to Huang Qilang and transfer it to Lou Yun, and in the future, when Lou Yun needed to go to court to confront her, she was also mentally prepared to go to court.

She is not for anything else, just because the copycat goods of Tangfang have entered the ears of the official family.

She had to at least do something to restore Tang Fang's image as a fake.

I can't take care of offending the clan.

"It is said that the merchant was indeed instructed by Lord Lou, and Sun Zhao didn't talk nonsense......"

She thought that after Chen Wenchang came back, she would have to explain this matter to her no matter what, so she still laughed first, but Wu Shi was so anxious that she wanted to jump to her feet, and shouted in a daze:

"The eldest lady can't be confused like this! There are more men in the world who are better than Chen Wenchang-"

Lou Yun has already approached.

He slowed his steps, and through the cover of Mei Linzi, he vaguely heard the words coming from the pavilion, and immediately felt that Wu Shi was insightful.

Listening to her speak in her voice, as if she were not a woman and a widow, she said hurriedly:

"It doesn't matter if he tells the truth or not, let's beg for food in Bosi, Quanzhou City, and all those who dare to go against Lord Lou, we can't spare him! All those who stand on the side of Lord Lou, we have to get married! This is the rule of gangsters seeking money! If we don't be tough and don't pull in a helper, we will be bullied by others, where is there room for us to make money in Quanzhou City-"

She kept shouting here, and suddenly saw Ji Qingchen looking at her with a faint expression, and she woke up.

“…… Mother Wu is eating Lou's food, or eating Tangfang's food, I don't understand-"

Lou Yun quickly shrank his feet and hid behind an old plum tree, feeling that this was not a good time to step forward.

He also knows this Wu's temper.

She was not loyal to him Lou Yunbiao, but to his official position as the supervisor of the city.

This woman gave her teeth, seeing that the official was like a sycophant, and seeing the green-eyed foreigner, that was the non-self-race-class, and wanted to be bullied to death.

He even saw with his own eyes that she and a male merchant had a big fight in the yamen over a seat at the merchant conference.

Because she didn't take advantage of it, there was no one to help, but her black, thin, bruised and bleeding face not only frightened the officials in the yamen, but also frightened the male businessman.

She didn't need to go to the warehouse to call a helper, everyone was going to back down, she actually didn't admit defeat, and suddenly pulled out a small scimitar from her sleeve, screaming that she wanted the Fan people to see blood.

He was taken aback at the time.

This Wu clan is not like a Han merchant woman at all, just like a northern barbarian.

Wu Shi was suppressed by her, and finally remembered that she hadn't seen Ji Qingchen for two or three years, and forgot that she had a cold face and asked her to roll to Quanzhou with her daughter.

She lowered her head and didn't dare to make a sound, of course a person with eyes like Lao Siniang stepped forward to make a round.

She is Lloy's cousin, and like Wu's, she is a Han artisan who moved from the north, and she was originally from Ji Qingchen's team in Tangfang.

As long as they are capable enough, they are the natural henchmen.

Ji Qingchen said:

"In your words, Gongzi Wenchang returned to Mingzhou City this time to discuss with me to reduce the dowry?"

happily looking forward to him going, and looking forward to Chen Wenchang's return these days, although she didn't expect him to persuade his parents to add a dowry, but this reverse result did disappoint her.

"Also, I must stop this family affair between the Chen family and the Sun family, and I must not agree to it?"

“…… Back to the words of the eldest lady......"

Wu Shi lowered his voice, flattened his mouth and said aggrievedly,

"I also understand what the eldest lady means, who is an official now who is not scolded a few words? But after this trip to the East China Sea, the maritime merchants in Quanzhou City were all pinched in the palm of Lou's hand. We can't help but follow the crowd. Besides, before I came back, I went to the school official yamen in Quanzhou to inquire. Sun Zhao has a great reputation in the Fuzhou Xueguan Yamen, and he also has the best relationship with the Bailu Academy and Ziyang Academy in Jiangxi, and they all take care of each other when they scold people. Just like us in business. These officials are also cliques. They are not in the same group as Lord Lou, he is from Siming in Jiangsu and Zhejiang......"

At this time, she also saw that Ji Qingchen was seriously thinking about how to discuss with Chen Wenchang, and it was impossible to break off this family in a hurry, she could only muttered carefully in frustration,

“…… The Chen family's dowry is less, and we only have the port of mail, just for this, we can't offend Lord Lou. ”

"That's what happened."

Ji Qingchen understood at this time.

The contradiction between Lou Yun and the Sun family, in the final analysis, is still the political struggle between the dead clan prime minister Zhao Yuru and Han Zhaixuan.

When Zhao Yuru was in power, he promoted many talented and Confucian rural sages, and I heard that the mountain master of the White Deer Academy was one of them, and he was directly recommended to lecture in front of the officials.

Chen Wenchang's teacher Sun Zhao also belongs to this department.

"It's not a clique. That's aspiring together. Lord Sun didn't like Lord Lou when he looked at him, it was just a different way. ”

She taught earnestly, in exchange for the strange eyes of Lloyd's and Ut's.

Even Lou Yun behind the tree was surprised.

Fortunately, she continued:

"If you want to deal with them, you have to open a academy yourself and pull in a vote. We also have the same aspirations, so naturally we will not scold and lose. Don't we do business by shouting a few times to sell better? Don't be afraid of being scolded, what you are afraid of is that there is no vote of friends to help you scold back. There are not enough people to do business. ”

Lou Yun just doesn't have enough helpers.

Neither side is pleased. R1152
