Chapter 286: The Four Great Families
"Four families?" Zhou Ruocheng frowned, as if he was a little unfamiliar with this term.
"To be exact, it is the four major families of Shanghai, you must know that Huzhou has always been a commercial place in South China, across the sea to the east, and then far away with the United Empire, it is also the place where Dahua countries have the most contact with foreign resources, such a wealth important place, how many people want to settle here?" The emperor said.
"Brother Huang, if you say this to me, I will be confused, you must know that I am not from Huzhou, there are no things recorded in this miscellaneous book, how can you want me to know?" Zhou Ruocheng replied with a little innocent.
"Then Zhou Ruocheng, you have been in Shanghai for nearly half a year, you should know who there are, right?" The emperor is still playing dumb riddles with Zhou Ruocheng.
"Eh, Brother Huang. . . I told you that I have a class in the next class.,You're still doing this with me.。。 Zhou Ruocheng said a little depressed.
"If you have this time to play around with me here, it would be better to think about which families are coming." The emperor said with a serious face.
Seeing that the emperor said so, Zhou Ruocheng could only activate his own brain meridian.
"I want to see it. You tell me to guess the last name, right? Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"Well, let's talk about it." The emperor said.
"So... Ning family. Zhou Ruocheng guessed.
"No, but it's getting close." The emperor replied.
"Closer?" Zhou Ruocheng was also stunned, and then tangled up, "You mean... The Guo family? ”
"Count you as a kid." The emperor nodded.
It turns out that Guo Xingyu's family is also one of the four major families in Shanghai. Zhou Ruocheng also felt more and more that the status of Guo Xingyu's family was not as cheap as he thought.
"What else?" The emperor asked again.
"I really can't think of it, Brother Huang, I only have a good relationship with Guo Xingyu in Shanghai... Zhou Ruocheng said helplessly.
"There are people who have a good relationship, and there are people who have a bad relationship, since you and Jiang Xue have a bad relationship, you should also think about who else, right?" The emperor asked again.
"You mean. . . The Jiang family? Zhou Ruocheng asked again.
The emperor smiled, "Why did you think of the Jiang family, the surname 'Jiang' was used by Longzi in order to hide his identity, and it has nothing to do with this Jiang family." ”
"And who else?" Zhou Ruocheng couldn't think of it.
"Do you think who beat you up?" The emperor asked.
Zhou Ruocheng was also stunned, ", Brother Huang, do you mean Lin Yixuan?" ”
"That's right." The emperor replied.
"But isn't Lin Yixuan a lackey under Jiang Xue?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"What you said is also a bit ugly, what is called a lackey, think about it, if this young person really doesn't have some background, do you think he can climb to the position of the ruling government?" The emperor asked rhetorically.
"Well... I looked at his sassy appearance, and I thought he was an orphan taken in by Jiang Xue or something. He behaved like an orphan. Zhou Ruocheng muttered.
"People can't be good-looking, the sea can't fight, don't think that you are a young talent in this world, you must know that there is a sky outside the sky, and you can't judge anyone casually because of your own personal preferences." The emperor started the sage mode again.
Zhou Ruocheng also smiled bitterly, "So Huzhou, Guo and Lin all belong to the four major families, so what about the other two families?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.
The emperor stirred his straw and watched the pearls in the quilt be driven to shake in the cup, "As for the other two families, there is also the Jiang family, this family has been in South China with a very high prestige since before the founding of the country, and when it was established in Dahua, the Jiang family also moved from Jiangzhou to Huzhou with the general trend, mainly eating the accumulation left by the Guangnan doormen, although the business is also doing, but there is still a big gap with the Lin family who was born in the merchant, but fortunately, the reputation is alive." The emperor replied.
"That's what it means, right?" Zhou Ruocheng said.
"If your words are heard by those people who respect the Jiang family in Shanghai, you will be beaten on the street." The emperor said.
"Haha, don't talk about this, what is this last family?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"This last family is the Trump family from the United States." The emperor replied.
Zhou Ruocheng almost squirted out of his mouth with a mouthful of milk tea, "Your Majesty." What do you say? Trump? ”
"Huh... Why are you reacting so much? Even the emperor had a look of disgust on his face.
Zhou Ruocheng didn't mean to do this, mainly because what the emperor said was as if Xiao Ming's father had three sons, the eldest son was called Da Mao, and the second son was called Ermao, and these three sons were not called Sanmao, just forget it, you still called Xiao Ming, not to mention what Da Mao and Ermao think, just others should feel a little confused.
The same is true of these four families, the first three are all native-born Chinese, don't you think it's strange that the fourth family suddenly has an outsider?
"Indeed, the Trump family is indeed a rising star, but I have to say that if there was no intervention of the Trump family in Shanghai, this development would not be as rapid as it is now, so Zhou Ruocheng, these four families, you have to take precautions." The emperor said.
"It's not Brother Huang. Do you also have to guard against this Guo family? In a few days, you'll be in-laws. Zhou Ruocheng asked in a low voice.
"That also depends on their attitude, you must know that the Guo family has been serving our royal side since the founding of the country, so many years, after the death of the father, the Guo family of the father's generation is still alive, more or less relying on the old to sell the old. Although they are very low-key in Shanghai, they may not know what will happen. The emperor replied.
"So what instructions do you want to give me, Your Majesty?" Zhou Ruocheng
Asked.
Zhou Ruocheng. The emperor quietly stepped forward, "I want you." ”
Zhou Ruocheng also leaned his ear over and listened carefully.
It was at this time that the school bell finally rang, and the noisy bell also hid the emperor's words with a noise, and the two of them finished their last words in this noise.
After Zhou Ruocheng listened, his face became solemn.
"Okay, Zhou Ruocheng, do you understand what I said?" The emperor asked.
"I see." Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"Zhou Ruocheng, it's actually not comfortable to stay in Shanghai, right? It's a bit of a waste for someone like you to be a teacher here. The emperor drank the last bit of milk tea, looked at the empty bottle and muttered.
"No, I still like this kind of life, if I don't have the pressure to go to school, then I can't be more comfortable." Zhou Ruocheng replied.
Hearing this, the emperor was also stunned, "Hehe, Zhou Ruocheng, do you think you can be too good in the palm of my hand?" ”
"When the emperor needs me, I will naturally stand up, but Xiaomin is also guilty now, if you let me be an official again, I am afraid that there will be many people who oppose it, and many people are not convinced, after all, those who have left a stain will re-enter the officialdom... It's a little difficult. Zhou Ruocheng replied helplessly.
The emperor's mouth rose, "In that case, please complete the task I gave you." After speaking, he threw the finished milk tea cup into the trash can on the side.
"Your Majesty, where are you going now?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"Of course I'm looking for Luoying, my sister is pregnant, and if I don't look at her as a royal brother, it will make me mean." The emperor said.
"Your Majesty, what I told you about the princess before, please think about it." Zhou Ruocheng said later.
The emperor stood in place and paused for a moment, and then walked straight out, "Don't worry about superfluous things, all you have to do now is to behave well, understand?" ”
When the emperor walked near the teaching building, it was also when the students of the teaching building came out, and the tall man looked so abrupt among the students, and many girls and children also turned their heads after seeing the emperor.
Only Zhou Ruocheng sat in place, watching the emperor walk into the teaching building, Zhou Ruocheng also stood up, threw the unfinished milk tea cup into the same trash can, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Behave well. Is it? ”
In the afternoon, it was the Chinese language class of the third class, although it was not a top class, but the learning atmosphere of the third class was also surprisingly good, and many students came back to Zhou Ruocheng to ask questions when Zhou Ruocheng got out of class.
Maybe it's because the midterm exam is coming, and the students are unusually conscious.
"Teacher Zhou, can you help me see if this question is answered?" When Zhou Ruocheng was packing up his textbooks and about to go back, a girl ran up and asked.
Zhou Ruocheng took the exercise book and looked at it twice, "Hmm... The answer is very unique, but there is still a point missing, looking at the length of the answer question here, since there are three lines, then the answer to the question should not be so simple. ”
Zhou Ruocheng said it, and the girl nodded frequently, and she didn't know whether she would know or not.
"I said you are very conscious, although you said that the midterm exam is indeed coming, and you will consciously find extracurricular topics to do?" Zhou Ruocheng said.
"Haha, no, it's my dad who called me two days ago and said that if I can get into the top 30 in the school in this midterm exam, he will sell me LV bags." The female classmates are also outspoken.
"Wow, the top 30 will sell you LV bags? If you take the first place in the school, you don't want to open a luxury store for you, what big brand people you choose. Zhou Ruocheng also said jokingly.
"Haha, I don't know what happened to my father this time, he said that I could do well this time, and said that this is a test that he will give himself or something." The female classmate muttered.
"President? Your dad is a businessman? Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"Well, my dad is in the timber business, what's wrong teacher?" The female classmate asked suspiciously.
"Oh, it's nothing, then I'll wish you a good grade in advance." Zhou Ruocheng said with a smile.
"Well, goodbye, Mr. Zhou." After saying that, the female classmate ran away.
After the female classmate left, Zhou Ruocheng also smiled helplessly: "Okay, you Lin Yixuan, I didn't expect to give me such a play." ”
However, after struggling for a while, Zhou Ruocheng shrugged his shoulders, forget it, you must know that forcing the number is at ease in the hearts of the people, and the two sides are swearing to win this bet in their own way, and in the face of the final result, there are thousands of ways in the process.
Just when Zhou Ruocheng was comforting himself like this, suddenly another person stopped Zhou Ruocheng.
"Teacher Zhou." This voice was peaceful and elegant, but it did seem a little serious to Zhou Ruocheng's ears.
"That. . . Dean, my lord. Zhou Ruocheng turned around with a smile.
Jiang Xue was still dressed in the same military dress, and looked at Zhou Ruocheng with a smile, "I don't think I need to say more, why did I come to you?" ”
Zhou Ruocheng wanted to be sloppy, but it didn't seem necessary to look at Jiang Xue's appearance, so he had no choice but to nod.
"Now you're out of class, come with me to my office." After saying that, Jiang Xue turned around and walked out.
Zhou Ruocheng had no choice but to follow Jiang Xue's ass to Jiang Xue's dean's office.
Zhou Ruocheng thought about it with his knees, and knew why Jiang Xue came to him, and he also knew that Zhou Ruocheng couldn't escape this tea, so he could only muttered in his heart for a while how to deal with Jiang Xue's question.
When she arrived at Jiang Xue's office, there was also a pair of sofas and coffee tables in addition to the desk where she came out of the dean's room, Jiang Xue didn't let Zhou Ruo this time
Cheng sat in front of her desk, but let Zhou Ruocheng sit on the sofa, and went to invite herself to run a pot of tea and put it in front of Zhou Ruocheng.
Zhou Ruocheng was a little scared while being "flattered", and he didn't know what Jiang Xue was going to say to him.
Since the emperor went to find Li Luoying, Jiang Xue saw it even if he didn't know it in advance, but Jiang Xue turned his head and came to find him, so it was very revealing.
"Zhou Ruocheng, I think you should also know why I came to you, right?" Jiang Xue also made herself a cup of tea and put it in front of her, then sat upright with Erlang's legs upright, and then asked Zhou Ruocheng.
"That..." Zhou Ruocheng covered the teacup with both hands, and asked with some hesitation, "Could it be?" Is it about the emperor? ”
"If you know, there's no need to hide it from me." Jiang Xue replied.
"The emperor mainly came to see the princess during this private visit, you may not know the dean, this princess seems to be pregnant when she found out a few days ago." Zhou Ruocheng said.
"Well, of course I do." Jiang Xue replied.
"I think that's why the emperor is here." Zhou Ruocheng replied with a smile, as if he was singing the praises of the greatness of family affection.
"Is that really the case?" Jiang Xue looked at Zhou Ruocheng with a smile and asked.
"Uh... So what's the matter? The emperor also pays more attention to the feelings between his brothers and sisters. Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"Oh~ Then Mr. Zhou, don't you know anything?" Jiang Xue showed a hint of intriguing.
"This... What else can I do? Zhou Ruocheng replied with a smile.
"Didn't the emperor come to you?" Jiang Xue asked.
"It's not. Your Excellency, you don't think I reported it to the Emperor, do you? My mobile phone is all here with you, how do you think I can contact the emperor? "Zhou Ruocheng's excuse is actually very far-fetched, can't he remember a phone number? But it's true that he didn't report to the emperor himself.
"I didn't say this, but you also know that when the emperor came up, we were actually still having a class teacher meeting, and the emperor should have been walking around the school so early, so who is the person who deserves the emperor to walk around this school?" Jiang Xue narrowed her eyes, this was already very clear.
Zhou Ruocheng also lowered his head a little helplessly, "I'm sorry dean... It's me... ”
"There is no need for you to apologize to me, you are originally a citizen of Dahua, and serving the emperor is a natural thing." The dean said.
"Haha." Zhou Ruocheng smiled, yes, he invited the emperor to a cup of three-free pearl milk tea for two dollars, I think no one will believe it...
"Then Mr. Zhou. Fairy, it's better to get to the point, didn't the emperor say anything to you during the time you got along with the emperor? Jiang Xue asked.
After hearing this, Zhou Ruocheng also chuckled in his heart, thinking that Jiang Xue was indeed sharp enough, and he didn't know how to answer her for a while.
"Don't think about fooling me with some inconsequential things, Teacher Zhou, the monitoring in the school is not a decoration, what kind of situation is it, I will know it as soon as I check it." Jiang Xue said.
said that Zhou Ruocheng had no choice but to admit: "It is true that I have been with the emperor for a while, but the main thing is to talk to me about the princess, which is all homely." ”
"Is that all?" Jiang Xue looked at Zhou Ruocheng and asked.
"Of course it's more than that, I just don't understand." Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"Don't understand what?" Jiang Xue looked at Zhou Ruocheng.
"The emperor also told me about the four major families in Shanghai." Zhou Ruocheng replied.
Jiang Xue looked at Zhou Ruocheng, "Four families? ”
"Yes, the Four Families." Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"So which four major families in Huzhou, Mr. Zhou, can you say now?" Jiang Xue asked.
"Guo Xingyu's Guo family, Lin Yixuan's Lin family, and two other families I am not very familiar with, the Jiang family and the Trump family." Zhou Ruocheng also answered truthfully.
"So what is the emperor telling you about these advantages? Is it for you to make friends? Or will you destroy them? Jiang Xue's tone suddenly became heavier, and from her eyes, she could feel some different meanings.
"Actually, I'm ashamed, the emperor happened to be out of class when he told me this, in fact, I just listened to a rough idea, mainly to make friends, after all, Guo Xingyu is also his brother-in-law, isn't he? My relationship with the princess and Guo Xingyu is so iron, I have to get to know each other somewhat, and if I still commit something in Shanghai in the future, I can take care of it. Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"That's all?" Jiang Xue asked.
"Anyway, with my character, Lord Dean, you won't believe it, that's all, believe it or not." Zhou Ruocheng replied.
Jiang Xue also laughed after thinking about it for a while, "Okay, I also know the specifics, you can go back to Teacher Zhou." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Ruocheng was also stunned for a moment: "That's it?" ”
"Or else?" Jiang Xue looked at Zhou Ruocheng, "Or do you want me to take you back and torture you again?" ”
"Haha, no, no, no, then I'll go first, Lord Dean." Zhou Ruocheng walked out with a smile, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's okay, there is no danger." ”
When I returned to the office, I didn't find Li Luoying, I was afraid that I was with the emperor.
Just as Zhou Ruocheng was about to leave for home, Zhao Qingyuan suddenly ran over, "Sir!!! ”
"What's wrong? Panicked, the eldest aunt is here? Zhou Ruocheng quipped.
Zhao Qingyuan also patted Zhou Ruocheng shyly, "No!" Sister Flower... Sister Hua, she... ”
"Hua Xijin? What did she do again? Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"She... She's gone... ”
"Huh?!"
