(On the shelves today, please read the book friends to support a lot and bow to the ground.) )

Some people rejoice, some people are sad.

Just after the next hour, a sedan chair came from outside the Wenguo Mansion, and Steward Cheng hurriedly welcomed the people into Yuhuatang to drink tea, and he served diligently.

Hearing the knock on the door, Cheng Xiquan pushed the thighs pressed on his body away, got up and scolded angrily: "Which one is dead, anxious to report the funeral?" ”

The servant outside the door said loudly: "The prince of Ningling County has something to discuss with his son. ”

Shi Fangqi came, Cheng Xiquan was clever, and immediately got up from the bed, hurriedly put on his clothes and pants, put on a pair of cotton shoes, opened the door and asked, "Have you entered the house?" Take me to meet me. ”

With Cheng Xiquan's arrogance, when he heard that the prince of Ningling County was coming, he didn't dare to slack off, and trotted all the way to Yuhuatang. ”

Shi Fangqi is nearly thirty years old, his black hair is coiled into a bun on the top of his head, tied with a hosta, his face is resolute, similar to the Son of Heaven, he raises his head slightly, and is full of arrogance. Seeing Cheng Xiquan saluting, Shi Fangqi put down the teacup in his hand and smiled gently: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, the foolish brother is here because he wants to discuss something with the virtuous brother." ”

"Don't dare, Brother Shi, but please command." Cheng Xiquan knew that this prince of the county didn't look at the sweet smile, there were many twists and turns in his stomach, and he was calculated by him accidentally.

After Cheng Xiquan sat down, Shi Fangqi straightened his navy blue robe and said with a smile: "Seeing that Brother Xian is sleeping peacefully, I must not know that a major incident happened in Changle Fang last night, a gambler won 3.4 million taels of silver, and our Yunshui Fang was won 420,000 taels." ”

Shi Fangjue's eyes flashed with anger, and he cleverly covered it up by drinking tea. Cheng Xiquan on one side was shocked a lot, and the old man repeated dumbfounded: "Three million and four hundred thousand taels, who is the divine dare to be so bold, Changle Fang didn't send someone to do them?" ”

"Speaking of which, people have something to do with Brother Xian, you still remember that at the end of July, I mentioned to Brother Yu that I wanted the casino to help you win the money of Yu Jiale, I remember that the total was 14,000 taels, and I also asked the casino to give you 7,000 taels of this money, which is considered a dividend."

Cheng Xiquan nodded, and suddenly came to his senses: "Could it be that someone came last night has something to do with this?" Jiang Anyi was so bold, he actually dared to ignore the law and discipline and cause trouble in the casino? Brother Shi, why don't you take it down on the spot, Yushitai will inevitably be impeached, and the surnamed Jiang will definitely lose his official position and be dismissed. ”

"Da Zheng Law", Cheng Xiquan is very familiar with it, and he specially asked the gentleman in the house to explain it to him. Cheng Xiquan still remembers his father's teachings very clearly, the old man said, "Only by knowing this and knowing the other can you win a hundred battles", this truth also makes sense in doing bad things, only by understanding "Da Zheng Law" can you take advantage of loopholes.

Shi Fangqi was not interested in Jiang Anyi, and the gambling house lost 420,000 taels of silver was the purpose of his visit. Putting the teacup in his hand on the table, Shi Fangqi said: "The people who came dressed up, they challenged according to the rules of the gambling house, and finally lost the game but won the money, and the gambling house could only admit it." The people who followed them said that they entered the imperial city, and it was confirmed that one of them was a eunuch in the palace. ”

Cheng Xiquan was silent, and the palace instructed him to make a move, so he couldn't ask or say, he could only admit that he was unlucky. Cheng Xiquan was very depressed, Jiang Anyi got the instruction of which person in the palace, the queen or the son of heaven?

"The losses of the gambling house have been spread according to the scale, and tens of thousands of taels can still bear it, but there are two families who refuse to share, Jasper Fang and Yunshui Fang, Jasper Fang has folded 200,000 taels, and Yunshui Fang is even worse, 420,000 taels."

Shi Fangqi paused, took a sip of tea, and said softly: "After careful study, Yunshuifang suffered from the pond fish because of Brother Xian, so Shi wanted to ask Brother Cheng Xian for an explanation." ”

Cheng Xiquan was annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to offend Shi Fangqi. Although the Duke of Wen is powerful, he is inferior to the royal family, don't look at the king of Ningling County, who can only eat, drink and have fun, and his favor in the heart of the Son of Heaven is no less than his own family. The prince of this county often purchased the treasures of Jiangnan and Jiangbei in the name of his father and dedicated them to the palace, and took the initiative to pay more than 10,000 hectares of land when the Son of Heaven cleared the acres, and was praised by the Son of Heaven as "my good horse".

Gritting his teeth, Cheng Xi confessed it all, and said with a smile on his face: "This matter is that Cheng has involved Yunshuifang, and I am willing to compensate Brother Shi for 100,000 taels of silver." ”

Shi Fangqi scratched the tea leaves with the tea lid, as if he had not heard it. Cheng Xiquan's face changed, 100,000 taels of silver was not enough, Shi Fangqi's taste was too big, on the other hand, if the gambling house won money last night, I am afraid that he would not give himself half a penny.

The atmosphere cooled down, the lobby was silent, and Steward Cheng hurriedly smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince came to the house, and there happened to be a few famous chrysanthemums in full bloom. ”

Shi Fangqi also felt that it was inappropriate to tear his face, and immediately smiled: "Oh, there is such a thing, then I have to open my eyes." ”

The garden is full of purple and red, like a spring day. After looking at the several famous plants pointed out by the housekeeper in the process, Shi Fangqi smiled and said: "Concubine Huang Shu in the palace likes chrysanthemums, these pots of 'cinnabar red frost', 'rouge little snow', and 'Yaotai Jade Phoenix' flowers are good, and the name is also good, brother Xian, it is better to dedicate it to Shujing Palace in the name of the two of us." ”

Cheng Xiquan was overjoyed, it was a good thing to be able to please the lady in the palace, and he threw a mouse trap on Jiang Anyi because there was a queen mother behind the perfume shop.

By sending flowers to ease, Shi Fangqi made his intentions clear: "Brother Xian, I don't want you for the 100,000 taels of silver, I heard that you have a silk village in Dongshi, and I am very interested in partnering." ”

Cheng Xiquan's heart twitched, and he finally realized how he felt when he wanted to buy shares of Jiang Anyi perfume shop. The silk and satin village specializes in brocade from Lizhou, which is popular with the rich because of its vivid patterns, rigorous structure and colorful colors. The brocade is produced in the village of Lizhou, and the servants are reluctant to deal with the Zheng people, so the brocade rarely flows out. Wen Guogong Cheng Puyang has a famous personal guard, and now he is the general of Mingwei in Lizhou, and under the pressure of the army, the servants are not allowed to pay tribute of 2,000 horses per year.

In addition to the monopoly brocade, the silk village also sells other silks, and the net profit is not less than 300,000 yuan a year, which is the main source of wealth for the Wenguo Mansion.

"Rest assured, the foolish brother only needs to be twenty." Shi Fangqi smiled slightly, revealing the snow-white teeth in his lips.

It seems that it is not possible to not bleed, Cheng Xiquan smiled: "Okay, this matter is settled." "Steward Cheng standing beside him was really painful, and the industry accumulated by the master was scattered in sporaries.

However, Cheng Xiquan also has his own plans, and the silk village gave 20% of the shares to the king of Ningling County, so the relationship between the two families will naturally be closer in the future, and if you encounter problems, you can open up to this prince. This turmoil arose because of Jiang Anyi, and he couldn't let him go easily, he might as well ask this prince for advice, as long as this prince got on the boat, it would be difficult to get off the boat.

Dong'er pouted and packed up for Jiang Anyi, although a good man has ambitions in all directions, Jiang Anyi has not been idle since he entered Beijing, and he doesn't know how many months it will take. Jiang Anyi looked at Dong'er who was busy, and felt a little guilty in his heart, in order to make Xinfei feel better, Jiang Anyi deliberately controlled it during sex and did not let Dong'er get pregnant. Maybe with a child by her side, Dong'er won't feel lonely.

Counting that it is the third time that he has traveled far away, Renzhou has cleared the war, sent an envoy to the desert, and went to Beijing for disaster relief, which can be regarded as diligent in the king's affairs. Jiang Anyi was a little uneasy, every time he went out to Beijing to do business, he would always encounter some twists and turns, and he didn't know what happened to this disaster relief.

The hand inadvertently touched the Dharma protector card on his chest, Jiang Anyi decided that every time he left Beijing in the future, he would first go to Mingpu Temple to ask Master Guangming about the good luck, and Jiang Anyi was already convinced of the hexagram number of "dead wood in spring" at this moment.

The list of people who went to disaster relief has reached the Son of Heaven, and only the parties themselves know the ups and downs.

Zhou Chucun, a member of the Ministry of Labor, learned that he had been selected, and he was silent for a long time. Since the beginning of this year, Zhou Yuanwailang is a man of the hour, two pomelo lamps in exchange for the old lady Jin Feng, the attention of the Son of Heaven, and the reputation of everyone is really not easy.

During this time, Zhou Chucun tried his best to make good friends with Li Liuru, the right attendant of the ministry, and finally got the truth from Li Shilang's mouth that the performance appraisal at the end of the year must be "superior". At the end of each year, the officials have to evaluate the performance of officials in the world, and only one-twentieth of them can be ranked "upper-class", and there are only more than ten officials in Beijing. Officials listed in the "upper class" can break the practice of mentioning every three years and be promoted directly, that is to say, they will be promoted from the sixth rank to the sixth rank next year.

Zhou Chucun secretly heard that the political hall, Dali Temple, and Guozijian all have vacancies under the six products, and at the end of the year, he gave Li Shilang a generous gift, and it should not be difficult to ask for a Guozijian to speak directly, and then he can go to Zhongzhou to do a long history or continue to serve as a doctor in Guozijian, and then go out of Beijing to serve as the chief examiner of the township examination.

The plan was very good, but unexpectedly, the disaster relief incident was reborn, and Zhou Chucun knew that someone would be rewarded for this disaster relief, and the original several "superior" evaluations were afraid to be redefined, Duan Shaojian would undoubtedly take one, Jiang Anyi was afraid that he would also take away one seat, and according to the usual practice, the family in Beijing would take away three or four seats, and there would not be many remaining positions.

If I don't go to disaster relief, I am afraid that the evaluation of "superior" will be in vain, and I think that the antique calligraphy and paintings exchanged for white flowers and flowers will be given to Li Shilang for nothing, and my heart is bleeding. In desperation, Zhou Chucun had to bite the bullet and go to disaster relief, and only by mixing this scene could the "superior" performance not run away.

In the chrysanthemum hall of the welcome building, Hua Wenqing went to Zhuo Chengxun for disaster relief, and Ding Chu was regarded as an accompaniment. On the side of the house, a woman played the guqin to cheer up.

The sound of the piano was melodious, Zhuo Chengxun was proud to fly, hit the table and sang: "...... Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for pleasure will require 300 cups of drink. Ding Fuzi, Hua Tanhua, will enter the wine, and the cup will not stop. A song with you, please listen to it for me......"

The singing voice is heroic, and even the girl who plays the guqin is infected, and the sound of the piano becomes cheerful and lively.
