Chapter 12 My Uncle Wei Zhongxian
"You have to learn to refrain from it!"
Looking at the young master and the house slave who fled in a hurry, Huang Zhen sighed and said.
"Restraint? I don't like restraint yet! ”
Yang Xin said.
Huang Zhen didn't say anything more, and then waved his hand to signal the coachmen to speed up, and the group continued to move forward, and just after turning a reed pond, houses finally appeared on both sides of the road. At the same time, the bustling city also unfolded in front of them, with rows of buildings, pedestrians, and busy traffic......
Yang Xin shrugged.
Then move on!
Soon, even Chongwenmen was really displayed in front of him.
"That's what it looks like!"
Yang Xin said with satisfaction.
Chongwenmen Urn City finally has an arrow tower, and it is a huge arrow tower with four floors and forty-eight mouths in the front, standing majestically in the blue sky and white clouds. The main city tower behind is also towering, although there are only two floors, but it is a heavy eaves, the whole city tower plus the city platform more than ten meters high below is not less than forty meters, and the arrow tower that is almost high in front shows the strictness of the imperial capital. In front of Chongwen Gate, it was really crowded, and almost all the merchants and travelers from all over the world gathered here, waiting to pay taxes and enter the inner city, and all kinds of vehicles lined up in dense long queues, almost clogging the wide streets. However, to Yang Xin's surprise, there were also many women on the street, and there was even no shortage of handsome men and women in bright clothes walking together, and the most exaggerated thing was that there was an old lady blocking in front of an official sedan chair, I don't know why she scolded angrily, and the officials in the sedan chair did not dare to show up.
"It's nothing, even Shangshu has been scolded by the old woman on the street!"
Huang Zhen said with a smile.
"Why don't you catch it and hit the board?"
Yang Xin was stunned.
"Goshi is watching! It's not a big crime for a shrew to scold people, even if she scolds Shangshu, if you really care about her, it will be troublesome to turn back which Yushi ginseng has a bad relationship, it's not worth it for such a trivial matter, even if Shangshu is reasonable, arguing with a shrew on the street is also unseemly. ”
Huang Zhen said.
While they were talking, they arrived in front of a shop, the shopkeeper had already come out, the shopkeeper surnamed Lin and Huang Zhen should be old friends, even Huang Ying is very familiar, after a few people exchanged pleasantries, then sent the goods to the warehouse, and then Huang Zhen sent the coachman, and walked to the living room in the backyard with the shopkeeper to quickly count the money......
"Why be in such a hurry, this wine must be eaten?"
Shopkeeper Lin said with a smile.
"Let's talk about it later, I just met the son of an unknown family on the road, and he was rude to Yingzi, and he taught him a lesson!"
Huang Zhen pointed at Yang Xin and said.
Yang Xin showed a simple smile.
"Didn't hurt?"
Shopkeeper Lin said.
"No, I carried him around twice!"
Yang Xin said honestly.
At the same time, he also stretched out his hands and gestured.
"It's a good man, it doesn't matter if you don't hurt anyone, there are so many sons in this capital, and we are not allowed to be bullied."
Shopkeeper Lin said indifferently.
From his previous conversation with Huang Zhen, Yang Xin already had a general understanding of their operation, this shop should be opened by a eunuch in the palace, the latter is in charge of the inner treasury, theoretically the inner treasury is a tribute sent from all over the country, but after all, when there is a shortage, then you have to buy it from the outside. So this eunuch partnered with the purchaser, and bought from the local area those that should be very far away, in fact, they could be bought locally, of course, the quality was much worse or even a lot of adulteration, but the eunuch in the treasury would be put into the warehouse with qualified products. Such a good thing must open a shop by himself, and in the end the huge price difference fell into the hands of this eunuch and his partners in the palace, this is all a routine, basically I understand when I think about it, anyway, it costs the emperor's money, and the official procurement routine is almost the same.
So Shopkeeper Lin doesn't care about this.
After all, there are many young masters in this capital, as long as they are not wealthy and dignitary, a small quarrel is not a big deal, and it is not a big deal if they hurt people in a fight.
In this capital, after all, he is still the most horizontal official.
Just then, there was a commotion outside, and then a guy hurriedly walked in.
"Shopkeeper, Deputy Commander Han of the Terracotta Division is here!"
He said.
Shopkeeper Lin and Huang Zhen looked at each other.
"Let's go, go out and have a look!"
He said.
A few people got up and walked out, more than a dozen soldiers outside blocked the door, a green-robed officer in the middle, there was still a long-legged bird on his chest, and next to him was the young master and his house slave.
"How is it a civil official?"
Yang Xin whispered suspiciously.
Huang Zhen waved his hand and motioned for him not to speak.
"Deputy Commander Han, why are you free?"
Shopkeeper Lin arched his hand and said.
"That's him!"
The young master pointed at Yang Xin and said.
Commander Han hugged his fist at Shopkeeper Lin and walked directly to Yang Xin and the others.
"Lu Yin!"
He stretched out his hand and said.
Huang Zhen took out the road guide, and at the same time glanced at the shopkeeper Lin, the latter's face changed slightly, at this time, Commander Han had already checked the road guide, and then returned this thing to Huang Zhen, and then stretched out his hand to Yang Xin, Yang Xin reciprocated with a sincere smile.
"Commander Han, this is the villain's nephew."
Huang Zhen hurriedly said.
"Lu Yin!"
Commander Han ignored him and continued to stretch out his hand in front of Yang Xin.
"Take out the road to lead, if you don't have a road lead, it's private, first catch the yamen and hit the eighty boards!"
The young master shouted happily.
Commander Han also smiled happily, he just asked the city gate guard first, Huang Zhen paid for exemption from inspection, so he came to the door to find fault, Lu Yin This thing is actually known to everyone, and a large number of people will not take it. After all, it is very troublesome to open the road, and you have to open the door once you go out, and a businessman like this who runs this route all the year round and is very familiar with the place will basically not take it. No one cares about this kind of thing, as long as the money is given, including Huang Zhen's one, which is theoretically invalid, but Commander Han is just here to clean up Yang Xin, and he won't care about such a trivial matter. Of course, he knows the background of this shop, and since Shopkeeper Lin has come forward, he still has to give face, and he only needs to target Yang Xin alone.
"Commander Han is not an outsider, so why take a trivial matter seriously."
Shopkeeper Lin said with a smile.
"Lu Yin!"
Commander Han continued to look at Yang Xin and said.
If there is no guide, you will have to have at least 80 boards.
Huang Zhen sighed, glanced at the shopkeeper Lin, and asked him to take the silver and send it away first, after all, the silver of the Ming Dynasty is omnipotent.
"What is this doing? I don't let people do business! ”
A voice suddenly rang out outside.
Commander Han looked back in amazement, and a man with a white face who looked forty or fifty years old, and who looked somewhat rich, walked in with square steps, wearing a similar black hat on his head, a cyan patch on his body, and a waist tag around his waist, and looked at the soldiers who were obviously a head shorter with a little smile.
"Uncle!"
Huang Ying shouted in surprise.
Commander Han's face changed, and then he changed his smile.
"Xiaoyingzi is here, we haven't seen each other for two years, you Nizi is getting more and more smart, and you haven't found your mother-in-law's house yet?"
The man laughed.
Commander Han subconsciously stepped aside.
"I'm still looking for my mother-in-law's house, I was almost bitten to death by his vicious dog as soon as I entered the capital, if it weren't for my cousin's quick move, he would have to tear off a piece of meat on his leg, and he also sued the wicked first, and brought this official to arrest my cousin to beat him, Uncle Lin's plea didn't work, uncle, you came to comment on it, this dog hurts people anywhere, right?"
Huang Ying said.
"Commander Han, is this true?"
The man looked at Commander Han with a smile on his face.
"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding!"
Commander Han smiled dryly.
"Ah, misunderstanding, since it's a misunderstanding, let's all disperse, don't block the door of Shopkeeper Lin, people still have to do business! They are all acquaintances, and it's not a big deal, children are playing around, so don't mix with adults, Commander Han, don't you say? ”
The man said.
Commander Han laughed dryly and left without hesitation.
The young master glanced at Yang Xin hatefully, obviously he also knew that he couldn't see a good show of beating this guy's board, although it was certain that this guy had no guide, but Commander Han was a sesame official, and it was impossible to refute the face of the lieutenant for this trivial matter. Even if the rank of this lieutenant official is not high, but a lieutenant official of this age has enough connections in the palace, since he came forward to protect people, if Commander Han slaps his face in public, he will be asking for trouble for himself. In the final analysis, the middle official in the capital is the most difficult to mess with, even if it is an ordinary middle official, there may be a big guy behind him.
Yang Xin smiled and waved his hand at him.
The young master snorted coldly, turned his head and left with the house slave.
"Thank you,"
Yang Xin paused, and then said to the eunuch, "Uncle? ”
"That's it! Our family and your cousin are brothers who played together when they were young, and Xiaoyingzi also grew up in our family, since you are all cousins and cousins, it is also appropriate to call our family an uncle! ”
The eunuch said with a smile.
As he spoke, he walked straight into the shop, and Shopkeeper Lin and Huang Zhen also followed, but Huang Zhen signaled to Yang Xin and the others before leaving, asking them to stay outside for the time being. A few of them went in to conspire, Yang Xin and Huang Ying moved a stool and sat in front of the door, watching the bustling flow of people with interest, and a melon seed seller next to them came over. Yang Xin bought two packs for the guys in the store, and sat there with Huang Ying with one pack, but this is not sunflower seeds, but watermelon seeds, fried with salt.
"What is our uncle's position in the palace?"
Yang Xin asked.
Huang Ying gave him a blank look.
"I don't know, he and my father are friends who have known each other for a long time, but he has already entered the palace when I was born, and my father has taken me with him for business, and I have only met him a few times in the capital, and it is said that he is serving a talented person by the prince's side, which is not too big an official."
She continued.
"What's his name?"
Yang Xin asked.
"When I first saw him, his surname was Li, but later he was changed to Wei, which was his original surname before entering the palace, but his name has not changed, and he is still called Jinzhong."
Huang Ying said.
"Surname Wei, Wei, Wei Jinzhong, cough, cough ......"
Yang Xin clutched his throat and coughed violently.
In Huang Ying's speechless gaze, he finally coughed up the piece of melon seed skin.
"Is that talented man surnamed Wang?"
He asked, with a look of horror.
