When I returned to Beijing, it was the spring day after the year, and the riverside and roadside of Lin'an City were full of spring

The time of April is about to begin.

Outside the city, the waterside is a place and a boat where servants and housekeepers come to the site and prepare for the spring.

On the wharf, only the family members of Lou and Ji Liangfu came to greet him, and three miles away from the city, Ji Qingchen had already seen Yongjinmen riding behind the carriage curtain.

I think it was an official who greeted him in front of the city gate, and arranged for these flying horses to report along the way.

I heard that Prime Minister Xie personally came to greet him.

"You are busy with you, anyway, I was also promoted to the county lady, you have to resign in front of the official family for the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune, don't think much about my side."

Ji Qingchen solemnly said that as long as half of the East River Road Wharf is in hand, she will be satisfied.

She will be very sensible and work hard to tie up the queen, and she will rise step by step.

She optimistically imagined that in ten or twenty years, the title of Mrs. Guo would not be impossible.

"You can discuss it with Master Xie. After all, you have great merit, and it is impossible not to rise, but it is just a matter of waiting for a few years to be promoted to the first or second grade. If I want to be a lady of the command, I don't necessarily have to be a first-class or second-class person right away. ”

“……”

Lou Yun wanted to erect a completely different image from Dahan in front of the official family, but he still felt that if he could add another level of sealing to Ji Qingchen above the county lady when he got married, he could show his ability.

Wives are expensive by their husbands, and the Song people all say so.

This is also his Lou Yun's face.

Lou Yun had his own calculations in his heart, and smiled so that Ji Qingchen didn't have to worry about him, and took care of himself.

Before the carousel leaves. He also glanced at the chariots and horses accompanying the tea merchant Han Fu.

Mixed in the carriage and horse of the Ji family, Steward Han hurriedly smiled. The gray-haired Master Wei couldn't wait to rush up and hug Lou Yun's horse legs.

"Whatever the adults command, the little ones will do it immediately."

Steward Han rolled the saddle and dismounted. Walking forward quickly, Lou Yun said with a smile:

"When you enter the capital, you have to go to the king's wine house to pay a visit. Mrs. County is weak and has no energy to take care of these trivial matters. Take my post. ”

"Yes, thank you for taking care of me."

Steward Han was grateful.

He was originally surnamed Chen, and he was the distant brother of Mrs. Chen.

Because his sister was sold into the Han Mansion as an adopted maid since she was a child, and learned a good tea art, he went to the countryside to defect.

Now that twenty years have passed, he has also become the right-hand man of Master Han.

Last year, Mrs. Chen went to Jifu and ordered tea. The Winter Solstice Festival also went to visit the back house of the military yamen, and he guessed the inside story of the wealthy businessmen in the capital area of Liangzhejiang Road:

Wang Saijiu and Ji Niangzi are the proprietors behind the Huang family's warehouse.

They're all in this together.

Ji Qingchen coughed in the curtain, saying that she was so weak and hard, and it would be good for Lord Lou to be in charge of dealing with the Wang's Sacrifice Wine Mansion. She was completely fine.

Lou Yun smiled more amiably.

"Don't worry, my lord, the second master of our family has been waiting to visit the house for a long time."

Steward Han hurriedly confessed.

The tea merchant Han family bets on both sides of Ji and Wang, and Ji Niangzi and Wang Saijiu don't care too much.

But if you still bet on the Han Mansion, Lou, Xie, Ji, and Wang will not be able to tolerate it.

Lou Yun told Ji Qingchen to take care of her. When I go back, I eat and sleep, and if I have something to do, I will go to the building to deliver the news to Lou Ye.

Steward Han bent down to send Lou Yun and his party away, and Master Wei still said in his ear:

"The chief steward, just now the dock came up to greet Lord Lou. It is a member of the Chen family in Quanzhou. Their Chen family also has a stake in the Chuzhou wharf, which is Lord Lou's own team. ”

Han Cheng, the manager of Han, had certainly heard of the Chen family.

This time, because of the great achievements of the Northern Expedition, Taicang College, which found the sea route, was commended. Although the mountain chief Chen Wenchang resigned again, the wind of celebrities and scholars is naturally to spread incense to the world.

"Big lady. You're too careful, too. ”

The carriage of Ji Fu and his party made a detour and did not enter the Golden Gate.

They walked south along the Qiantang River to another city gate. Get ready to take a boat into town.

Lao Siniang couldn't help complaining on the boat, and said:

"Big lady, now is not the time for Lord Lou to relinquish his official position. Jia Guifei is pregnant again, and they all say that Dahan has already proposed to abolish the queen without children. Lord Lou is an important minister of the queen's mother's family, if he doesn't go up to work against Han, the eldest lady's business in the capital in the past few years ......"

As she spoke, Lao Siniang glanced hintively at the servants of the Han family, a tea merchant on the boat next door.

Ji Qingchen laughed.

"If you are pregnant, you may not be a prince, and if you are a prince, you may not be able to grow up when you are born, what are you anxious about?"

As soon as the queen fell, Ji Qingchen understood what the consequences were.

Just as Lou Yun impeached a household official and implicated five or six Beijing officials, the backstage of the tea merchant Han Mansion collapsed, and they only had room to be slaughtered in front of the wealthy merchants in the capital.

The Ji family has already invested 20% of the shares in the Jiangxi Tea Farm, and Wang Shiqiang's side is indispensable to this number.

Otherwise, there has been a rumor of overturning the case and re-investigating the tea thief's rebellion case on the side of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, if this is the case, the tea merchant Han Mansion without a background will be swept away.

And if the queen falls, although the Ji family will not be questioned immediately, it is inevitable that they will break the wealth and eliminate the disaster.

Maybe after the money is squeezed out, it's not too late to find a reason to ask for the guilt.

"There's no rush. If the official family abolishes the queen of the Xie family, there is no need to have the surname Zhao in this world, just the surname Han. ”

Ji Qingchen drank the tonic soup sent by Ji's mother on the boat,

"Besides, will our family expect to steal other people's family business to make a fortune? Anyway, the day of spring is coming, you discuss it with Lou Ye and them, and let Lou Ye set up a banquet for Chen Gangshou. Let's talk about the shipping business in Taicang and Shandong. There is also Chen Shanchang's wedding wine, and we should also prepare a generous gift to eat the banquet. ”

Ji Qingchen took a boat across the capital and returned directly to Ji's mansion near Qiantang Gate.

Ye Niangzi, Chen Laosi and others all came from Mingzhou, cleaned up the Ji Mansion, and welcomed them in.

And Xie Qi Niangzi has been waiting in Ji Mansion for a long time.

She was accompanied by four foster mothers in her Xie Mansion and thirteen or fourteen seasoned servants.

These people said that they lent it to her, so that she could prepare for the marriage with peace of mind.

"You've always been a fool of Lou Yun and don't take me seriously."

Ji Qingchen couldn't help but sigh at Xie Qi Niangzi, talking about things that he couldn't borrow from his adoptive mother when he was married to Chen Wenchang.

Xie Qi Niangzi just didn't hear it.

After greeting Xu Shuqing and seeing the beautiful children giving the meeting gift, Xie Qi Niangzi sat down to drink tea and eat the local snacks brought from Shanyang City.

Mrs. Chen performed some tea on the stage, and the tea was still in her mouth, and there were five or six people who delivered the stickers at the door of Jifu.

The official eunuchs and their relatives who sent the stickers all invited Ji Qingchen to travel with them in spring.

Ji Qingchen didn't expect her to be so popular now, which couldn't help but be a little strange.

Especially the people who handed over the spring stickers were not nouveau riche such as businessmen and relatives, and half of them were noble families from old and scholarly backgrounds, which made her even more puzzling.

She hasn't forgotten that she is the one who has been divorced twice.

Even if you have upgraded your grade and made great contributions, these are two different things. (To be continued......)
