Chapter 4 The "united" Jiang family
Jiang Jun thought for a while and said, "There are still six days left to be the day when our Jiang family will be the city lord and patriarch. I don't want the position of patriarch, but I will get the position of city lord. If we want to develop better in the future, we must have an official position. In this way, it can be justified. ”
Wei Zhongxian continued to ask, "Then how many people will be on the side of the lord?" ”
Jiang Jun said helplessly: "Except for my mother, everyone else can't wait for me to be alive." It's my uncle, I can't believe it, after all, they will want to get the position of city lord. ”
Zhang Dingbian next to him began to speak. "It's really difficult, and if you use force, it's counterproductive."
"Well, indeed, after all, there were only two people in our family, me and my mother. Even with the addition of you now, we are still a lot worse. We are short of money and people, so I gave up the position of patriarch and focused on the city lord, I want and must be the city lord. Do you have any good ideas? ”
There was no color on Wei Zhongxian's face, but he just said: "The world is bustling, and it is all for profit. Since we seek power and they seek profit, then give them benefits and let them support us. Even if it is a hostile person, after all, it is the Jiang family, with the blood of the Jiang family, and fame and fortune are nothing more than others. In addition, the lord has two major advantages, the eldest grandson and the son of the city lord, as long as the lord bites these two items, plus there is the support of others, even if it is a person, it can increase the chances of winning. ”
Jiang Jun nodded, it was indeed in his heart, and this should be the best plan.
"Then what we're going to do next is pretty clear. Visit our uncles and elders. I don't know how high the success rate is, but after all, I still have to play a game. ”
Zhang Dingbian got up and asked, "Are we visiting together?" Or how many ways to go? ”
"Let's go together! Let's try their reaction first, a person who is supposed to be a stupid child, suddenly normal, I wonder what they will think? Hehe, a little curious. But to avoid being too ostentatious, let's do some preparation first. ”
"Okay." Everyone stood up and replied.
At this time, Jiang Jun silently recited a sentence in his heart.
"Ancestor, can you borrow something in advance? I'll give it back to you later. ”
......
Although Rongdan City is the poorest place among all the cities in Qi Kingdom, since it is a city, there is still a lively place, that is, Dahefang City in the south of the city. Compared to the empty place in the north of the city, it is more lively. Countless merchants and hawkers are doing small business here, and there are many people coming and going on the street. But why small business? The reason is that most of the businesses that make money are dictated by the Jiang family, including rice roads, salt roads, river transportation, etc., which are all done by the Jiang family. Only some people will grab other rights, of course, this is also a must be someone above.
At this time, Jiang Jun's fourth uncle, Jiang Fengshu, had collected some vendors' booth fees and was about to go back. The Jiang family is very large, and Jiang Jun's fourth and third uncles are brothers, born to the great elder. The original Great Elder was Jiang Jun's grandfather, but after his early death, he was replaced as the Great Elder by Jiang Fengshu's father. There are three sons in the family, and their talents are average, compared with the sons of his brother's family, they are much worse, so they have no strength to compete for the position of city lord and patriarch. So he also saw it very openly, and the Great Elder simply handed over the rent collection right of Dahefang directly to him.
Jiang Fengshu was walking, but he saw a big carriage parked in the alley, and there were dozens of guard-like figures standing next to him. Is there any other character in this Rongdan City that he doesn't know? How can there be such a big carriage? Still without any signs? Which one?
After taking a few glances, Jiang Fengshu became interested. I have other things to do, and I can't delay any longer. He was about to continue walking, but he saw one of them, dressed in plain clothes, and a burly man stopped him. He was a little displeased.
"Do you know what this place is? Do you know who I am? Are you going to stop me? ”
The man was not angry. "My lord has no ill intentions, but I just want to ask Your Excellency to explain it."
Jiang Fengshu glanced at the carriage and asked a little angrily, "Since you invited me, can I know why I want to go?" ”
"My lord is the one who calls your fourth uncle."
Fourth uncle? That's my nephew. Hehe, it seems that he has some interest in those two positions, and he wants me to support him. Amusing!
Jiang Fengshu sneered, didn't care about the person, and was about to walk away. But the man stopped him again. Jiang Fengshu was about to get angry, but when he looked at the man's nine-foot figure, he was a little weak.
If you want to do it, you will be unlucky, right? Forget it, a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, after all, he is a nephew, and he shouldn't do anything to him. Jiang Fengshu got into the carriage.
After getting into the carriage, he was stunned by the figure in front of him.
Isn't this my stupid nephew? Why did he come to me? Does he still think he still has a chance?
With doubts all over his body, Jiang Fengshu sat opposite Jiang Jun.
Jiang Jun looked at this fourth uncle who didn't move around much, and he was also full of emotion in his heart. At this time, Jiang Fengshu found that a small man came in with his head bowed. He carried a saucer with four small bowls on it, which lay flat on the table of the carriage, and then stepped back. And when the man had gone, another servant came up with boiling hot water, and placed it beside the table.
Jiang Jun nodded to the man and motioned for him to go down first. Then Jiang Jun took out a ceramic-like bottle from behind him, opened it, and put something similar to a leaf in it into four cups, and then he soaked it in boiling water, pushing two of the cups towards Jiang Fengshu.
"Fourth uncle, please use tea!"
????
At this time, Jiang Fengshu was a little stunned.
"Boy Jiang, can you talk again?"
Jiang Jun just smiled and said lightly: "Fourth Uncle said that he was laughing, when will I stop talking?" It's just a short word. ”
Seeing that the eldest nephew was talking a little perfunctorily, Jiang Fengshu didn't feel anything wrong.
This is the legendary pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? But it's not like a tiger, is it?
Turning his thoughts, Jiang Fengshu focused his attention on the teacup in front of him again. The cup had just been soaked in hot water, and there was a lot of heat wafting upwards. Jiang Fengshu sniffed it forward, and immediately felt that the fragrance was overflowing, but it made people have the desire to be with the leaves in this cup.
Although he was a little hesitant, Jiang Fengshu didn't resist the temptation after all, and took a sip of the cup. As soon as you eat it, you feel refreshed and have an endless aftertaste.
"Big nephew, what did you call this just now?"
Jiang Jun saw that the fourth uncle liked this thing a little, but he was a little satisfied.
"This thing belongs to the tea category, and its name is Wuyi Mountain Tea. Bearing the moisture of the abundant soil, the sky descending by the nectar, the earth bell is harmonious, the sky is favored, the fragrant skin is cultivated, and the spiritual buds are produced. The love of nature has created the noble character of Wuyi rock tea. Wuyi rock tea's unique rock rhyme of "live, sweet, clear and fragrant" leaves a fragrance on the teeth and cheeks after drinking, and the fragrance is high and long-lasting; The bottom of the throat is sweet, mellow and clear; The green leaves are red bordered, and the seven bubbles have a lingering fragrance, which is refreshing. Its noble qualities and virtues are concentrated in the following aspects: first, it can give people the enjoyment of quenching thirst, curing diseases, and fitness materials; Second, it can give people pleasant physical, mental and spiritual enjoyment. ”
Jiang Fengshu was a little stunned after hearing this. "I don't understand what you said. Just say, how many do you have now? ”
Jiang Jun put the jar on the table. "There are only so many, if the fourth uncle wants it, he can take it directly."
Jiang Fengshu was a little excited, this taste was indeed okay, it was very in line with his taste, and this was also a unique one, and no one else should have tasted it. I can give Xiao Lin a taste when I go back, she should like it too.
But he hesitated. "There is no such thing as a free lunch, what do you need me to do?"
Jiang Jun smiled.
"Fourth uncle, I just need you to support me on the day you choose the city lord!"
