Chapter 242: Trading

h2>

On the third day after the death of the old man of the Gu family, the Gu family began to report the funeral to each family, and the old ladies and masters of the Gu family also relieved themselves and began to arrange the affairs of each room. Cheng Chi was able to get out and talk to Wu Xiu, the prefect of Jinling, in the study: "...... Lord Wu's three-year term of office has expired, and his political performance has been rated as 'excellent' by the imperial court, I don't know what plans he plans in the future? ”

Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. What's more, Jinling is a rare place of abundance.

Wu Xiu almost took off his prefect's hat and gave it to the fourth master of the Cheng family in Jiuru Lane when he raised his hand, and he really couldn't afford to put the prefect on the shelf, he said humbly: "What can I plan?" It's not what the court will do if it is not for me? ”

"Oh!" Cheng Chi picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, and said, "Actually, Lord Wu has given our Cheng family a lot of convenience in Jinling City. If this is a change of parents...... What a hassle! ”

Wu Xiu's heart jumped when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, "Actually, I don't want to leave either!" But sometimes it's hard to do it, and there's no way to do it! ”

Cheng Chi nodded and said in agreement: "This is also involuntarily!" ”

Wu Xiu couldn't help but curse in his heart when he heard this.

I thought to myself, how the hell are you going to say it bluntly, don't you want me to do it? Am I doing as your Cheng family wants? What kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to be in front of us! He also threatened me with the position of the prefect of Jinling! I...... I......

He "me" for a long time, and he really couldn't say a cruel word, and wanted to play a few more hands of Tai Chi with Cheng Chi, greasy and greasy Cheng Chi, a steward of the Gu family came in and said: "Fourth master, our eldest old lady invites you to come over and talk." said that the sixth master of the Shucheng Fang family came over, and asked the fourth master to accompany him. ”

Wu Xiu secretly shouted "terrible", and scolded in his heart.

He knew that Cheng Chi was so busy, so he was not hypocritical, and directly told Cheng Chi that he still wanted to continue to be the prefect of Jinling.

Okay, now Cheng Chi doesn't know when he will have the opportunity to talk alone like this.

If Cheng Chi thought that he was taking Qiao and wanted to negotiate conditions with the Cheng family, he would simply find a way to change the protΓ©gΓ© of the Cheng family or be the prefect of Jinling, and he would have no place to cry!

He was so anxious that he stood up suddenly, and just wanted to ask who the sixth master of the Shucheng Fang family was, when he heard Cheng Chi say: "The sixth master of the Shucheng Fang family...... Is it Fang Daxian? ”

Fang Cheng, the word is dedicated, to the ninth year of the Ding Bingxu Branch champion, once served as the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, because of the impeachment of the then Bingbi eunuch Wan Tong was transferred by the emperor to the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor, he simply resigned and returned to Shucheng to do Tao Weng, very famous in Shilin.

The steward hurriedly smiled and said, "The fourth master has a good memory. It was the man who lost his official position due to impeachment. "He was extremely attentive.

It turned out to be him!

Wu Xiu's face was flushed with excitement.

If he can say a few words to Fang Daxian, who will dare to look down on him in the future?

Why didn't he think of it just now?

Do you want to follow Cheng Chi over like this and pretend that you don't know anything?

Wu Xiu thought about it, only to see Cheng Chi stand up with a "huh", and said while walking out, "Why is he here?" Shucheng is more than half a month away from here? ”

The steward hurriedly followed but slowed down at a distance of half a step from Cheng Chi, and always maintained a distance of half a step behind Cheng Chi and said: "Fang Liuye is a friend of the ninth master of our family, his sister-in-law married a daughter-in-law, and he and his two nephews came over to drink the wedding wine. Who knew that after arriving in Zhenjiang, I heard that our Lao An people had gone, and rushed from Zhenjiang overnight to offer condolences. The ninth master of our family will not be able to rush back until the second day of the second month of February, and there is no one in the family who can talk to the sixth master of Fang Liu......"

Cheng Chi remembered.

Isn't Fang Daxian's sister the clanswoman of the Liao clan in Zhenjiang and the mother-in-law of Zhou Shaojin's sister Zhou Chujin?

It's a small world!

However, families like them are usually very small, and they will bump into each other when they turn around, and any one of them can be related and become in-laws.

Cheng Chi and the steward went to the flower hall next to them and left Wu Xiu aside.

Wu Xiu didn't go with him, and he didn't stand here, but fortunately, the housekeeper of the Gu family was very clever, and immediately invited him to the small study next to him to serve tea.

"No need!" He still remembered in his heart that he had to hurry up and make it clear with Cheng Chi, otherwise he would have a lot of dreams at night, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to close his eyes tonight. Wu Xiu instructed the steward: "As soon as the fourth master of the Cheng family comes out, you will sue me, I have something to say to the fourth master of the Cheng family." Then he rewarded the little man with two pieces of silver.

The silver guy didn't dare to take it, patted his chest and promised that as soon as Cheng Chi came out of the flower hall, he would sue Wu Xiu, and he was alone in the small study next to him, and the steward explained that this was a special place for them to be entertained by the old lady of their family, and Wu Xiu's heart was a little better. But he drank a belly of tea in the small study, and when it was lunchtime, Cheng Chi did not appear, he began to feel a little unhappy in his heart, and ordered his entourage: "You go and see what the fourth master of the Cheng family is doing?" It's impossible to talk to Fang Daxian all morning? Is it here that I left the things in the yamen? ”

The entourage didn't dare to slack off, and ran to the flower hall with a smoke.

After a while, the entourage turned back and said in a low voice: "The fourth master of the Cheng family came out of the flower hall and was dragged to the study in the front yard by the third old lady of the Gu family, saying that Shen Qingyun came over. When Master Cheng Si came out of the small study, he met Sect Lin on the road, and Master Cheng and Sect Master Lin stood on the side of the road and talked for a long time......

As he was talking, a servant from the Gu family ran in and said, "My lord, Sect Lin asks to see you!" ”

Isn't Sect Lin talking to Cheng Chi?

Wu Xiu was stunned for a moment before saying, "Please let him in!" ”

The little guy hurriedly went to invite Sect Lin in.

The two talked in the small study for a long time, and when the Gu family's little servant went to invite them to dinner, their faces were a little ugly.

The little guy didn't dare to say more, and carefully led the two to the hall.

Wu Xiu saw Cheng Chi talking with a tall, thin old man with a yellow face at a glance.

That should be Fang Daxian, right?

I don't know how Cheng Xiangqing offended Cheng Chi, his nephew, he actually wanted to cut off Cheng Xiangqing's career, and he was not afraid that the Cheng family would lose his arms because of this, which is also ...... It's a little too ruthless!

There is also Lin Jiaoyu, who usually looks like a humble gentleman, but who knows that he is a sanctimonious guy, not to mention Cheng Chi's wolf bèi, and shamelessly say something "Zhibo's death is also a victory in virtue", as if he seems to be noble, doesn't he want to flatter Jiuru Lane!

Wu Xiu sneered disdainfully in his heart, but with a smile like a spring breeze on his face, he walked towards Cheng Chi.

Just before he could get closer, a little guy ran in and said, "The sixth master is back!" ”

Cheng Chi immediately stood up, and the other party said "sorry", and said: "I just sent Jiuzhen out of the city in the morning, and Lao Anren went in the evening, and we didn't think of sending someone to chase Jiuzhen ...... for a while."

Fang Daxian hurriedly said: "Go quickly!" Just go! ”

Cheng Chi hurried out of the hall.

Wu Xiu had no choice but to stay at Gu's house for lunch.

But until the end of lunch, he didn't see Cheng Chi.

He asked the little servant Cheng Chi who was serving next to him where he went, and the little servant hurriedly ran to ask the steward, and came back to tell him: "The fourth master was called away by the eldest old lady, saying that he wanted to discuss inviting the masters of Jiming Temple to do the affairs of the water and land dojo." ”

Does this kind of thing also have to find Cheng Chi?

What are the Gu family people doing?

No wonder the people of the Gu family have nothing to do!

Wu Xiu slandered in her heart, so she had to go to Cheng Chi in person.

After all, he was the official of his parents, and the old lady of the Gu family exchanged a few words with him and left the study to him and Cheng Chi.

Wu Xiu couldn't care about his face, and whispered to Cheng Chi: "I thought about it with Sect Lin for a long time, and I felt that this year would not be successful, and next year's annual exam, we will find a way to advance the date and let him miss the exam!" ”

Cheng Chi smiled: "Is his studies good?" ”

Wu Xiu looked at Cheng Chi's warm face, clear eyes, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching.

That's a ruthless character.

That's why he can be left and right between Wan Tong and Li Yong, right?

He laughed twice and said, "Zichuan is right, I don't think his studies are very good!" ”

Cheng Chi laughed.

His expression became more and more gentle.

He said softly: "Although this matter requires Sect Lin's help, but in the end, I still have to trouble Lord Wu, and I ask Lord Wu to bother more, after three or five years, I can rest assured that Lord Wu will be promoted no matter where the feudal officials are." ”

Wu Xiu's heart couldn't help but beat wildly, but fortunately, his expression was still calm, and he said with a smile: "Then Chengzichuan's auspicious words!" ”

Cheng Chi's smile was even bigger.

Zhou Shaojin stood in Mrs. Guo's inner and outer probes her brain.

Old Madam Guo raised her eyes and saw the little girl with black hair and red face reflected in the mirror.

She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Come in!" What are you doing there? ”

The servants inside and outside the house laughed.

Zhou Shaojin walked in with a red face and said, "I want to see how you feel?" Who knew you would find out just after poking your head out! ”

Old Madam Guo looked her up and down with a smile, nodded and said, "Well, it's much better than the last time I saw it, so it can be seen that you haven't suffered any grievances at home." ”

Zhou Shaojin grinned.

The two difficult things were handed over to Uncle Chi, she ate well and slept well, and of course her complexion was better.

She grabbed Mrs. Guo's arm and said, "You also have to mourn and change." Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature. We're all worried about your body. ”

Mrs. Guo bowed her head and sighed: "I also know that I just feel uncomfortable." You don't have to worry about me, I'll be fine in a few days. ”

There is no one who is relieved, so I have to self-regulate......

Zhou Shaojin was sad when he heard this.

She thought for a moment and said, "I'll play leaf cards with you!" I'm so much better now than I used to be. When I was on the boat, I specifically consulted Uncle Chi. ”

"Really?" Mrs. Guo listened with interest.

Pearl and the others immediately took the felt blanket and came in to spread the table.

When Cheng Chi came back, there was laughter and laughter in the main room of Hanbi Mountain House.

He froze.

Mama Shang immediately smiled and said, "It's the second cousin who is here, and she is playing the leaf card with the old lady!" Said who lost to put a flower on the head, the pearl is full of flowers, the old lady and the second cousin also arranged flowers, the old lady is amazing, only two flowers, the second cousin is beautiful, people are more delicate than flowers, only pity the pearl, partial life wears a four-season scenery gown, like a flower ......woman, "said, the merchant woman also laughed.
