Chapter 313: To Help the People

After Ginkgo and Lizhi left, the two of them were relieved, but Tanglin Shuo still looked like he was in love, and Chu Nanyue reminded loudly: "Lord Wang, the person has left." ”

Tanglin Shuo let out a somewhat displeased "um", and then did not continue to speak.

Chu Nanyue obviously felt that the other party was unhappy, but he didn't say anything, just ate the buns and side dishes in his mouth in a sullen voice.

The taste of this steamed bun is really excellent, Chu Nanyue wants to dig this old man who sells steamed buns to make steamed buns in his heart.

When the two of them finished eating, Huang Sheng happened to come again.

"Congratulations to Brother Xian, Brother Hexi, Brother Xian looked for the shop that Brother Yu was looking for before, and Brother Yu has already found it." Huang Sheng shook the folding fan, looking personable.

He is only thirty, and he gives people a sleek and sophisticated feeling, this kind of sleek is not the same as those young officials in Beijing, Chu Nanyue can't tell the difference, but he is angry, so he glanced at Huang Sheng a few more times.

Who knew that this Huang Sheng was also looking at her, she retracted her gaze a little embarrassed, but Huang Sheng said without embarrassment: "Is it better to be drunk last night?" ”

Chu Nanyue slandered in her heart, she is often in the barracks, where can she get drunk so easily? Didn't you put something in your glass? But his face was as usual: "Thank you Brother Huang for your concern, the concubine is fine." ”

Donglin Shuo saw the two in front of him, and before he could say a word, he had already begun to frown, and he couldn't help coughing lightly twice, and when he saw that the eyes of the two turned to him, he said with satisfaction: "I'm tired of Brother Huang." ”

Huang Sheng shook his head: "For this matter, the virtuous brother wants to thank me, but it's not me." ”

Tanglin Shuo asked knowingly, "Who is that to thank?" ”

Huang Sheng winked at Tanglin Shuo a little mysteriously: "It's the prefect, and the prefect learned that the virtuous brother wanted to open a store, so he asked people to look for a store overnight." ”

Tanglin Shuo knew in his heart that the fish was about to be baited, but his face was very frightened: "Lu Mou, this is just a trivial matter, where do you dare to bother the prefect?" ”

"Huh." Huang Sheng knocked on the table indifferently: "The prefect is very enthusiastic, the virtuous brother is so famous in the capital, and the prefect also has two or three respects, besides, the virtuous brother comes to Yangzhou to do business, which is also beneficial to the people of Yangzhou, of course the prefect opens the door to welcome him." ”

Chu Nanyue listened to this Huang Sheng on the side, and finally understood what was the difference between him and those scheming officials in Beijing, he was more familiar, and the officials in Beijing all understood the truth of Mingzhe's self-preservation, and he was not too enthusiastic with anyone, and he had just known Tanglin Shuo for a day before he called him a brother.

Moreover, Tanglin Shuo was originally not familiar with the Yangzhou prefect, and after these words, there was a feeling that the two hated to meet early.

Since he said so, Tanglin Shuo was of course very happy, and said, "Then Brother Huang may take the younger brother to meet this prefect and thank him in person?" ”

Huang Sheng looked enthusiastic about matchmaking: "Brother Fool came here this time to introduce the prefect to Brother Xian. ”

After speaking, he said a little mysteriously: "Brother Xian should also know that those of us who are in business, if we want to continue to operate, we still have to build a big tree to operate, so this time when I see the prefect, Brother Xian still has to behave well." ”

Tanglin Shuo looked clear, Huang Sheng was also very happy to see him so good, but Donglin Shuo begged: "This time to meet the prefect, the younger brother wants to take his wife with him." ”

Huang Sheng was a little puzzled: "Why?" ”

Dongling Shuo took Chu Nanyue's hand and said: "Most of the family's industries are jointly operated by Mrs. and the younger brother, and the lady does not let the eyebrows be shaved, and the younger brother will be more at ease with the lady by her side." ”

Huang Sheng knew that Chu Nanyue did look more capable, so he agreed.

He quickly took Chu Nanyue and Dongling Shuo to the prefect's mansion, he was an acquaintance of the prefect's mansion, and the subordinate just let him in after passing the word, and a few people entered the prefect's mansion, and they felt that this prefect's mansion was really luxurious.

It is almost like a small royal palace, even a little more luxurious than the palace of Tanglin Shuo, with gardens, water pavilions, promenades, exquisite scenery, at first glance by the hands of famous gardeners.

It is no exaggeration to say that this mansion can be used as evidence of corruption in the Yangzhou prefect.

Chu Nanyue wanted to look back at Donglin Shuo, but saw that the other party was just concentrating on walking, and soon, several people arrived at the living room of the guests, and Shen Liangzhou, the prefect of Yangzhou, sat on the Taishi chair in front of him and drank tea.

After Chu Nanyue saluted, he couldn't help but look at Shen Liangzhou, he was past the age of not being confused, and his eyes were as shrewd as torches, and he felt that he could see through you with a sweep.

After he looked at a few people, he showed some smiles, and he was very satisfied: "Why don't you hurry up and pour tea for a few people?" ”

The maids hurriedly went to make tea, and Chu Nanyue found that all the maids here looked average, and it seemed that the ones sent to Chu Nanyue's house were all Huang Sheng's own people.

The tea came up quickly, Chu Nanyue took a sip, it was a good big red robe, this tea was at least at the level of tribute tea, and it was really strange that it could be drunk in the small prefect's mansion.

Donglin Shuo complimented: "The grass people came all the way from the capital, and found that the prosperity of Yangzhou was not inferior to the capital, and the prefect was really well governed." ”

Speaking of this, Shen Liangzhou immediately felt a little proud: "Where is it, Yangzhou is originally rich, and it has nothing to do with this official." ”

That being said, there was not a hint of modesty on his face.

He looked at Dongling Shuo again and said, "I knew that Mrs. Lu would not let her eyebrows, but today, when the official saw it, it was indeed so." ”

Chu Nanyue smiled a little embarrassedly: "My lord praised it falsely, the concubine is just an ordinary woman." ”

At this time, Huang Sheng interjected: "Where is my brother and sister an ordinary woman?" That ordinary woman, when she saw the majesty of the prefect, she was already frightened and her legs were weak, where could she still talk and laugh with the adults here? ”

Tanglin Shuo also complimented Chu Nanyue with love on his face and said: "If you want to say that the reason why the grass people can break into a three-point hall, it is all up to Mrs. ”

Chu Nanyue pursed her lips and smiled, but in her heart, if this Donglin Shuo was fake, it would be too bad.

Several people complimented each other for a while, and then finally got to the point: "Brother Xian doesn't know, we have an unwritten rule in Yangzhou City." ”

Tanglin Shuo asked curiously, "What are the rules?" ”

Huang Sheng said mysteriously: "Yangzhou is only so rich, and it has a great relationship with the prefect. ”

Good guy, three points of profit, only two points of national tax, this Yangzhou prefect is too lion to open his mouth.

As soon as Dongling Shuo was about to open his mouth to be angry, he was pressed by Chu Nanyue: "I heard that the prefect has always been honest, how can he ask for this three profits?" ”

Huang Sheng had already prepared his words: "Of course, the prefect is honest, and this three-point profit is not for the adults, but for the people of Yangzhou City, although Yangzhou is prosperous on the surface, there are still many unknown places, some people are very hard, and the prefect wants to take three points of profit, in order to help the people of Yangzhou." ”
