Chapter 413: The Jiang Family

A simple table of wine and food, and a pleasant atmosphere, added a lot of fun to this small gathering.

At the same time, it was originally an extremely laborious and laborious thing to be thrown to anyone to do, but at this time, it was successfully solved with the cooperation of Moli and Zhang Haocheng.

The four great families in the past have basically left only a false name now, and almost everyone thought that the Zhang family, like the other two, directly threw themselves into Li Qing and used it to protect themselves. But in fact, Mo Li and the others naturally understood that the Zhang family was by no means the true sense of self-loss like the Zheng family and the Wang family.

For two hundred years, no matter when and where, the Zhang family has preserved the integrity of their family and their absolute power as much as possible than any other family, which is absolutely inseparable from the golden mean of several heads of the Zhang family.

And now it is the same, they accepted Li Qing's marquis, indicating that the Zhang family's position is still the same as before, and they are willing to serve the imperial court, but they will not completely abandon the glory of the family and become lackeys attached to Li Qing like the Zheng and Wang families.

This point was made clear by the head of the Zhang family before the Zhang family accepted the title, and Li Qing now has no absolute strength, and the other is unwilling to make any more extraneous branches, so as long as the Zhang family is not able to make such a statement, it is basically acceptable.

The three kings and the four families have long since been left with an empty shell, the first emperor destroyed the Wang family and forced the anti-Meng family and has been marginalizing the Mo family, while Li Qing accepted the Zheng and Wang families, cut off most of the branches of the Han family, but there is no need to tear up the skin with the last Zhang family.

Because of this, the Zhang family is in a much more advantageous situation than any other family. What's more, they have never completely tied the entire family to Li Qing, what they should do and what they have to do, where they should interact with and who they have to deal with. It's nothing more than spending a little more brains and making all the preparations, whether it's the bright side or the dark side, so that others can't find fault with it.

It's like this cooperation with Moli, although everyone knows that the matter between Moli and Li Qing should never be mixed, helping Moli is equivalent to dismantling Li Qing's platform, and Li Qing will definitely not be happy.

But. This time Moli and the Zhang family have absolutely legitimate reasons for this cooperation, even if anyone wants to find trouble, don't be afraid, after all, what the Zhang family does is just their duty. Providing military funds to the army is a matter of supporting the imperial court and supporting the emperor's merits, after all, this army was specially dispatched by the emperor.

As for Mo Li's unauthorized use of the Beiyang Gold Mine to offset the cost of materials. There is no need for the Zhang family to bear any responsibility and risk. In Moli's words, the Zhang family only needs to be in business, and even if there are any problems, Moli will bear it, and it has nothing to do with the Zhang family.

The Zhang family has provided military funds for the imperial army for two hundred years, and all kinds of strange settlement methods have appeared, like this is nothing at all, otherwise, no matter how big the Zhang family is, it will not be able to recover the money. He had to be dragged to death.

So there is a precedent to ask, and the Zhang family is not afraid of anyone making a fuss about this matter. That is, to be able to sell a favor to Mowangfu, and at the same time it is profitable, such a thing is not tolerated.

After everything was negotiated, Zhang Haocheng did not stay for a long time, the military funds of the Zhang family have been shipped one after another, and many things need to be handled by Zhang Haocheng himself.

And early the next morning, Mo Li finally nodded and met with the local officials and some representatives of the gentry in Qingyang, and after a few days, after completing the most important layout above the military, some things on the scene still had to be done.

Han Jiangxue didn't have any interest in these entertainments, and took Ziyue Dongling and Beifeng into Qingyang City early in the morning.

She went to Qingyang City this time, she had discussed with Mo Li first, although the fifth child had already returned to Jiang Haozi's side, but another thing dug up from the fifth person was not over.

"Miss, that tea shop is right in front, why don't I go in and have a look?" The group had already hidden in the shadows when they entered the city, and now there was only Ziyue beside Han Jiang, and the two of them walked and strolled, and soon arrived at their destination this time.

"No need, let's go in together." Han Jiangxue shook her head slightly, but she felt that there was no need for this.

Along the way, she and Ziyue have indeed been extremely low-key, just like ordinary women who come out to take a stroll, but with a little eyesight, they can guess her identity, so since they have already arrived at the door, there is no need to make any more effort, because she has no intention of hiding her identity at that time.

Hearing this, Ziyue didn't say much, nodded her head to indicate that she knew, and then followed Han Jiangxue's side, and soon entered the tea shop in front.

Maybe it was too early, maybe it was because now that we were in the midst of war, business was relatively light, and there were no customers in the simple tea shop at this time, only a shopkeeper who was dozing off on the edge of the counter.

"Xiao Er, come to the pot of the best tea in your store, and a few more special refreshments!"

Ziyue stepped forward and patted the counter, and suddenly woke up the dozing shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, but when he saw that he was coming for business, he immediately resumed his warm welcome, responded with a smile, and then shouted to the back kitchen: "Distinguished guests, a pot of high-grade Longjing, special refreshments are ready quickly!" ”

After taking over the business, the shopkeeper immediately bent down and led Han Jiangxue and Ziyue to a good seat by the window, and wiped the white towel in his hand on the already clean table and chair, and entertained him diligently.

Nowadays, the world is not good, business is difficult to do, and there are very few guests like Han Jiangxue, so of course the shopkeeper is easy to entertain. What's more, business has just opened today, so naturally it is even more polite.

"Don't be busy, go and invite your boss, I have something to look for him!" Han Jiangxue commanded the little two, but her eyes moved to the street outside the window.

As soon as the shopkeeper heard that the customer was looking for his own boss, he immediately said: "This lady, my boss is not in the store now, if you have anything, just talk to the little one, and the little one will ......."

Before she finished speaking, Han Jiangxue moved her gaze back, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Whether he is in the store or in the residence on West Street next door, you go and find him immediately, I have kung fu and so on, and I am not afraid of delaying the time." ”

"But madam, the little one really doesn't know where our boss is!" The shopkeeper couldn't help but show a bitter face, he really didn't pretend, since he came to this tea shop to help, he had never seen the mysterious boss, and this tea shop has always been in charge of the shopkeeper, he doesn't worry about those hearts, just get paid.

"Can't you find it, won't you let your shopkeeper look for it?" Ziyue glanced at the stupid shopkeeper, and at the same time threw a little broken silver and ordered: "Hurry up, otherwise I will smash here!" ”

Ziyue is a person who practices martial arts, and his spirit is naturally ordinary, this is both a threat and a reward, of course, he immediately shocked the shopkeeper, and immediately didn't dare to ask more and be verbose, picked up the broken silver and said Wait a while, and then hurriedly retreated and ran to the backyard.

Whether it was the information learned in advance or the on-the-spot observation just now, it was enough to prove that the shopkeeper was indeed just a helper who didn't know anything, so Ziyue didn't embarrass anyone, and only asked him to find the shopkeeper.

After a while, the shopkeeper in the backyard soon came, and after lifting the curtain and seeing Han Jiangxue, his expression suddenly changed, but it was only for a moment before he stabilized.

"Hello this lady, I wonder what you have to do with our boss?" The shopkeeper saluted, and said to Han Jiangxue: "Our boss will really not be in the store, please forgive my wife, if there is anything to tell the villain first, the villain will definitely tell my boss immediately." ”

"If they already recognize my identity, why pretend they don't know?" Han Jiangxue glanced at the shopkeeper: "The descendants of the dignified Jiang family, how can your eyesight be poor, bring the red sleeves, isn't the purpose of your coming here to wait for me, since I have taken the initiative to come to the door, what are you doing hiding again?" ”

was suddenly exposed by Han Jiangxue, and the shopkeeper suddenly couldn't pretend anymore, and then said: "Since Princess Mo came in person, I naturally don't dare to wait slowly, and I also ask the princess to use a cup of tea here first, and then go and find the red sleeves." ”

Although the shopkeeper's expression changed, he did not have the slightest fluster, and motioned to the shopkeeper to entertain him, and he nodded slightly, and went out of the tea shop first, and went to find the red sleeves that Han Jiangxue said in his mouth.

This shopkeeper seemed to understand something, but he was more confused, he never thought that the woman in front of him was the famous Princess Mo, the eldest lady of the Han family, Han Jiangxue, who was stunned for a while and didn't know what to do.

It wasn't until he was lightly snorted by Ziyue again that the shopkeeper came back to his senses and gave Han Jiangxue a big gift at the moment, and then hurriedly went down to serve the tea and refreshments.

"You go down and rest first, there shouldn't be any more guests coming at this time." After the tea and refreshments were served, Han Jiangxue did not embarrass the shopkeeper, since this person doesn't know anything, then simply don't know anything, at least this is better for this person.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper was also smart, and immediately thanked Han Jiangxue and retreated.

"Miss, it's better not to move this tea and refreshments, the Jiang family is worried that they can't do anything to you!" Ziyue glanced at the things on the table and said with an indignant expression.

"It doesn't matter." Han Jiangxue wasn't worried that someone would put something unclean in these tea snacks just now, but she wouldn't be thirsty or hungry, so she didn't move much.

In less than a cup of tea, the shopkeeper came back, followed by a woman in her thirties, the two of them looked calm and calm, obviously not too surprised by Han Jiangxue's arrival. (To be continued......)
