Chapter 35: Shameless
Ruyi was behind the door, with a look of admiration, and said like an idiot: "Miss, look at Mr. Qin, how majestic!" Just rely on this mouth to scold this group of chess players! That's amazing! ”
Jia Jingmin turned around and walked to the backyard, and said viciously: "You nymphomaniac!" Go, go back! What a man! Keep saying, is it your house at the door of my house? Return my family, who is your family? Hum! Hum! ”
Ruyi raised her eyes and saw that her young lady was snorting and scolding, and the corners of her eyes were full of smiles. Ruyi pouted and looked at the young lady with disdain. In a blink of an eye, I saw Mrs. Jia waiting a few steps away, sticking out her tongue and making a grimace.
Qin Feng was at the door, first said hello to Master Liu, and then raised his hand: "Thank you!" Thank you for speaking up today! After two days, Feng will put a few tables of flowing water seats, please have a drink! ”
"Good! Good! Qin Xiucai, he scolded happily just now, and he asked us to have a good drink when I went back! ”
"Well said, well said!"
The power of the masses is great! You have to have a good relationship with the surrounding neighbors, and if there are people you don't know in the future to challenge, you can be driven out directly in the name of traitors! It's quick and easy, and it's easy to talk about.
Therefore, it is necessary to do it.
Qin Feng walked down the steps and bowed his hand to Master Liu: "Shicai Feng didn't have time to receive Brother Liu, and he looked at Haihan." ”
Liu Ziqi smiled: "You have been blocked here, and I can't help." These chess players, from superior backgrounds, seem to be shrewd, but in fact they are confused. And only you can drink them in the head. Relying on my servants, it's really not good! ”
Qin Feng waved his hand: "Brothers, maintain the order, and I will have a chance to preach." ”
Qin Feng turned around again and said, "Li Zhu, take one hundred taels of silver out, and ask Cao Zhutou to share the profit with everyone." The officials and brothers have worked hard today. Also, Cao Zhutou, in two days, I will have a flowing water banquet here, and after the brothers are on duty, they will take turns to come over and have a few drinks! ”
Cao Zhutou responded, and a smile bloomed on his face: "Thank you Qin Xiucai for being considerate!" "Xindao: Such an atmospheric talent really can't live in seclusion in the mountains and forests!
Qin Feng made a gesture and led Master Liu into Jia's house, and Wang Erwa also ran in and brought water and tea.
The two sat down, and Qin Feng bowed again: "At the critical moment, it is all thanks to Brother Liu's righteous words!" Kaede thanks! ”
Liu Ziqi waved his hand: "Brother Qin is polite, this matter does involve Dahua's face, and it is really not allowed to be trampled on by others." What I said was more for Dahua. ”
Qin Feng smiled bitterly: "Since I called you Brother Liu, I don't want to hide it, I was really helpless that day." One Dahua has no one to fight. Second, I am also for the Jia family. ”
Liu Ziqi said with a straight face: "Brother Qin, I don't care what the truth is. I only know that Brother Qin saved Dahua's face. The foolish brother thinks that everything in the world and the process are all in the service of the result. The result is good, and it is normal for the process to have some flaws. If you want a positive result, you must use the right way, everything is like this, it is impossible! So, I'm proud of Brother Qin! The double harmony situation re-established the confidence of the great Chinese, scholars, and scholars. It has a positive effect on the entire Dahua from the imperial court to the Li people. Lose a little personal morality in exchange for the confidence and honor of the whole society. This is a great virtue! ”
"Thank you, Brother Liu, for your explanation! Maple mouth plugged open. Qin Feng got off the donkey.
"However, you said that the second is for the Jia family, the foolish brother is puzzled, what does this chess game have to do with the Jia family?"
"Brother Liu knows about Jia Song's agreement with Buxing, and this matter is quite difficult. So Miss Jia wants to partner with Miss Shu and make enough money to buy and sell perfume first. But Mrs. Shu was troubled by the matter of Go, and she had no intention of negotiating or doing business. Feng made this decision, with the intention of at least one win and one loss, and solve half of the Shu family's worries first. Who knew that the chess skills of these two people were so comparable, and they played a double draw. That's the best ending. ”
"If he weren't so equal, he wouldn't be in this trouble." Liu Ziqi said with a smile: "In this way, Miss Jia and Miss Shu are cooperating. The agreement between the Jia family and the cloth bank, you solved it like this? ”
"The trouble is solved, now I can let go and prepare to go to Fujian to pull stone, even if it doesn't work, it's no big deal." Qin Feng nodded.
"Oh? The matter is settled, why do you want to go? Liu Ziqi said strangely.
"The outside world is wonderful and I want to see it. Moreover, it is very profitable to go to business. Broaden my knowledge and have a lot of profits, I really want to try it. It's just that I have something I want to ask Brother Liu. Qin Feng said with a smile.
"It's a wonderful world out there." Liu Ziqi repeated it and said: "Brother Qin's words are refreshing. If you are honest with me, I will be honest with you, Brother Qin has questions, and Brother Fool knows everything and says everything. ”
"How do I have a convoy?"
Mrs. Jia is right, the escort team hired with money is unreliable, a rabble. But Qin Xiucai basically didn't have much social interaction, Qin Feng didn't understand Dahua society in his previous life, so while Master Liu was at present, Qin Feng hurriedly asked questions.
Liu Ziqi pondered for a moment and said, "In a hurry, how can you have it, I can't think of it." But I can tell you about the origin of the other convoys. Qin Feng nodded. Wait for the following.
Liu Ziqi said again: "Military rations, taxes, official escorts, don't say much." Private guards are mostly reserved for wealthy families, and there are people in their families who are officials, many of whom are famous, and they have money and are qualified to buy slaves. A child born of slavery is still a slave. Decades, or even a hundred years later, there are many slaves in these large families, and life and death are in the hands of the master's family, and it will be easy to organize an escort. You can't do this, you're just a showman, and there is a limit to the number of slaves. Moreover, there are very few people who sell their bodies now, but if they have a little strength, they will not be willing to be slaves. Then there are the family members of the criminals, but you can't buy this kind of thing. The family members of the convicts are not many, but the conditions are far higher than those of other slaves, and the quality is quite high, and everyone wants to buy them. For example, in Nanchang, this resource is firmly in the hands of the town guard eunuch and Wang Gonggong. ”
Qin Feng frowned, even if he could buy it, what year and month would he have to wait until this slave could give birth to a guard team for himself?
Liu Ziqi glanced at Qin Feng: "This is the mainstream, and the rest, such as some smuggler salt dealers in the past, logging and transporting wood, working in mines, and pulling boats, can also organize escorts." However, this kind of is mercenary, not long-lasting, and easy to change. Not for you either. Therefore, Brother Qin is cautious. ”
Qin Feng sighed: "It is precisely because of this that the escort team is difficult to organize, and the circulation of commercial goods is inconvenient, so it is very profitable to go to business!" I'm going to have to figure out a way to get the convoy up! ”
Liu Ziqi was a little surprised and said: "Brother Qin looks at the problem, it is indeed different. ”
"Thank you Brother Liu for your advice, I still have to think about this matter in the long run. Perhaps, it won't work out. Qin Feng responded.
Liu Ziqi teased: "Brother Qin is so bothered to do his best to the Jia family, I'm afraid it's not because of Jia Song." It's because of Miss Jia, right? ”
Qin Feng smiled, even if he acquiesced.
Liu Ziqi said again: "Brother Qin, do you want Brother Fool to keep you a matchmaker?" You are a talent, dignified, both civil and military, wise and strategic, and everything is not bad, this is Miss Jia's blessing. ”
Qin Feng snorted: "Thank you, Brother Liu, this matter has to be slowed down, the children of the Jia family are still in the period of filial piety." In the past two and three months, I have seen her every day at Jia's house, and I am not afraid of extraneous branches. ”
Liu Ziqi smiled: "It makes sense! Yes, Lord County also cares about Qin Xiucai. Ask me to ask, how is Qin Xiucai preparing for next year's exam? If you have any needs, you might as well say so. ”
The number of people in the middle is directly related to the performance of local ruling officials. It's normal for the magistrate to care about potential talents.
It's just that Qin Feng is a little embarrassed: "I ......"
Jia Song was inconvenient to disturb Mr. to talk to people, so he returned to the inner courtyard by himself, and just happened to see Ruyi passing by with his mouth pursed. couldn't help but ask: "Ruyi, whoever provokes you can hang an oil bottle on your mouth." ”
"Mr. Qin!"
"Sir is talking to someone, how can he mess with you?"
"If he said a word, a hundred taels of silver would be gone! What a big plate of silver with white flowers, I will give it to the pillar. The pillar changed hands and was caught quickly. It's so distressing to watch. ”
"It's not in vain! I can spend a lot of money! You can earn more money back! Also, if you give that money, if someone comes to the door in the future, these officials will run faster! ”
"Somebody will come, yes! Young master, Mr. Qin played chess games, did he cheat? ”
"Guess?"
"Looking at his straightforward appearance, I think, I have done a fake!"
"In the future, don't play in front of Mr. Also, put away our family's Go and don't let the gentleman see it. Don't let him be fooled into thinking we're irritating him. Why hasn't my sister gone out today? ”
"Oh." Ruyi thought thoughtfully, nodded again, and said, "Let's wait a little longer, the crowd outside has dispersed, and we will go to Miss Shu." ”
Master Liu returned to the county government with the officials, dispersed the officials, and came to the back hall alone.
Zhixian Wei Dayou was a little strange: "You're back so soon?" What about the chess players who block the door? ”
Master Liu then recounted the events in front of Jia's house, especially Qin Feng's reprimand, which was almost word-for-word.
At the end, Master Liu sighed: "It's still the county that respects people with a discerning eye, this Qin Feng acts, is resolute and resolute, thoughtful, and plans and calculations are not leaky!" What a talent! I talked to him today about the purpose of our Shilin Society, and he did not reject it at all. Just ......"
"Just what?"
"I just chatted with him, and I finally told him clearly that the chances of Shilin Academy taking the exam questions account for fifty percent, and Nanchang is promoted every year, and the Jinshi and the first, ranking among the best are all due to Shilin Academy! But he doesn't seem to be on the imperial examination, and is thinking about the way of business. ”
Wei Dayou smiled: "Young man, attracting money for money is nothing. It's just that if he doesn't enter Shilin Academy, he won't have the opportunity to be influenced by Shilin Society. Letting go of such talents is a loss for our Shilin Society! ”
Master Liu said: "Take your time, I can talk to him seriously." Since we are like-minded, sooner or later we will end up in the same place. ”
......
Wu Family Mansion.
Wu Jin stood in the living room, staring at Steward Feng with a bitter face, and Steward Feng said: "Those dozen or so chess players all know that Qin Feng is cheating, but they are stunned, no one dares to shout out!" But whoever wanted to shout out at that time would be beaten to death by the onlookers! ”
Wu Jin's face trembled for a while: "I'm really angry!" I lived for more than forty years! I have never seen such a brazen person in the world! I cheated myself, and I dared to question others so confidently! It's really a dog, everyone knows that he is cheating, but everyone still has to hide it for him! Whoever dares to tell the truth is a traitor!? ”
Steward Feng said again: "Master Wu, the people from the Jia family, do you withdraw, or continue to stare at them?" ”
Wu Jin gritted his teeth: "Withdraw half and come back!" Stay half and keep staring, don't give me a chance, I'll kill you if I find a chance! ”
