Xiao'er was taken aback, looked up at Jia Qing with a tangled face, and saw that Jia Qing didn't seem to be joking, slowly, slowly got up, moved to the side and sat down, but didn't dare to sit down, just half next to a stool, and then lowered his head, not daring to move.

Jia Qing looked at her speechlessly, could it be that she was very afraid of people?

Jia Qing simply ignored her, lifted his feet directly, and half-lay on the couch. Close your eyes and recuperate.

This kind of action startled Xiaoxiao'er, who hurriedly came over, knelt down again, and took off her shoes for Jia Qing.

Jia Qing naturally sensed it, but did not stop her. If she feels more at ease with this, let her be.

Let her take off her shoes for herself, and lift her feet up to the slump.

After noticing that Jia Qing was resting and had no intention of objecting, Xiao'er gently thumped Jia Qing's legs......

......

"Lord Qincha, the Wuting Bridge has arrived."

Finally, when Jia Qingdu was about to fall asleep, Jia Yucun's humble voice came from outside.

Jia Qing sat up suddenly, startling Xiao Xiao'er, who had been beating his legs for him. Hurriedly put on shoes for Jia Qing, and then got up to help Jia Qing up.

It's just that I don't know how long she has been kneeling, her legs should be painful, and she has some difficulty standing up.

Jia Qing stood up directly and said, "Okay, you can rest here." ”

Then he lifted the curtain and walked out.

"Press the car~~"

Walking out of the range of the sedan chair, Jia Qing raised his eyes and looked: What a beautiful place!

A meandering lake, rippling, sparkling, and elegant. Surrounded by green hills, there are a few early-blooming red plum trees on both sides, which reflects the scenery here and is different from other places.

In the middle, a wide bridge to the lake runs through the lake, the most spacious in the middle, and there are five pavilions on it.

"Is this the famous Yangzhou Slender West Lake in the south of the Yangtze River?" Jia Qingdao.

Jia Yucun said with a smile: "Lord Hui, this is Slender West Lake." In front of it is the Wuting Bridge, and Boss Wu and they will set up a banquet in the pavilion to entertain adults......"

Jia Qing looked at the group of people standing at the entrance of the bridge, it seems that this is today's host, the big salt merchants Wu Zhong and Qian Wumu are waiting.

When the people on the other side saw Jia Qing looking at them, they dared to step forward, and they all said, "The grass people and others have seen Lord Qincha." ”

"Xue Xiao has seen Lord Qincha."

"Wang Chuan has seen Lord Qincha."

Wait, Jia Qing, Xue? King? Are these two also big salt merchants?

It doesn't look like it.

Jia Yucun hurriedly said, "I'll introduce you to the adult." These two are Boss Xue and Brother Wang, speaking of which, they are still close friends with the adult's house! ”

Jia Qing was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Could it be that it is the Xue family and the Wang family in Jinling?" ”

Jia Yucun smiled: "Exactly." ”

Jia Qing hurriedly said: "Forgive the boy for his young sin, it is rude to fail to recognize it......"

King Xue and the others said that they were fine.

Jia Yucun continued: "This Boss Xue is the second grandson of Xue Gong, the son of Ziwei Sheren, and Boss Xue Xiaoxue. ”

Xue Gongyan's second grandson, isn't that the second uncle of Xue Dadu, that is, the father of Baoqin and Xue Zhen?

He's not dead yet?

Jia Qing looked carefully at the middle-aged man in front of him, and he didn't see any signs of early death......

"It turned out to be Uncle Shi's face, the kid is really rude." Jia Qing said, bowing to Xue Xiao.

Xue Xiao smiled: "The nephew is too polite, please get up." ”

Wu Zhong and Qian Wumu next to him were very happy to see Jia Qing like this, and the secret rumors were indeed true. The four major families of Jinling Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue are in contact with each other, one is prosperous, one is lost, support and cover, and all take care of each other, and they are close to each other and different.

In this way, things will be much easier today.

"This is the fourth-generation great-grandson of the prince of Du Taiwei, the brother of Wang Chuan."

Jia Qing also saluted and said, "I've seen Brother Shi." ”

Wang Chuan couldn't compare to Xue Xiao, and suddenly returned the salute to Jia Qing with some nervousness. Although he is an orthodox Wang family, the current head of the Wang family is Wang Ziteng, who has been an official in Beijing for many years. The Wang family that fell in Jinling, although because of the existence of the name of the four major families, no one generally dared to bully, but the wealth was long gone.

He can't represent the Wang family.

Boss Qian also couldn't invite the Wang family in the capital, so he had to invite one from the Jinling Wang family to come over and count.

is not as good as Xue Xiao, the foundation of the Xue family has been in Jinling since before Aunt Xue entered Beijing. Xue Xiao is also the current Xue family, except for Xue Pan, the person who can best represent the Xue family.

It was also the luck of Boss Qian, because the New Year was approaching, and Xue Xiao came back to worship his ancestors. Otherwise, it can be known from the original book that Xue Baoqin's father is "wandering" outside all year round.

"These two are Boss Wu and Boss Qian, and they are also the proprietors of today's banquet."

Jia Qing smiled: "Long admiration, long admiration." ”

The two hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare." Adults, please ......! ”

So he made way for Jia Qing and invited Jia Qing to sit at the table.

Jia Qing didn't want to waste time, so he walked directly to the pavilion.

After walking twenty or thirty steps, I saw a large number of maids standing quietly in the pavilion in the center. In the middle is a large round table, which is filled with all kinds of dishes, although there are not many types, but the colors are rare, and it is obvious that this table is worth a lot of money.

"Your Excellency, please."

Walking into the pavilion, Boss Wu guided Jia Qing to sit on the top.

Jia Qingdao said: "This can't be done, this banquet is not an official banquet, Uncle Xue Shi is an elder, how can there be a reason for me to sit on the head." ”

Boss Wu was stunned, having said that, however, Xue Xiao's identity was too far from Jia Qing. Now that the Xue family has also been separated, Xue Xiao is just an ordinary businessman from a big family. He really didn't expect Jia Qing to bring up this stubble, didn't this give him a problem?

Xue Xiao smiled and said: "Otherwise, although it is not an official banquet, but the nephew is the guest of Boss Wu and Boss Qian, I and Jia Zhifu, and Wang Nephew are the escorts, so naturally the nephew is the first." ”

Jia Yucun also said: "That's right, please take a seat." ”

In this way, Jia Qingcai didn't say anything more and sat down in the direction of due north.

Others, including Zhao Baihu, took their seats.

Then, the maid next to her stepped forward to pour wine for everyone. Wu Zhong personally took the wine jug in the hand of a maid, walked to Jia Qing's right hand, and poured the wine for Jia Qing.

Then, he sat back.

The wine glasses of others are naturally added by the maids.

Jia Qing's eyes lit up as he looked at this scene.

It can be seen from this small scene that in this land south of the Yangtze River, the status of businessmen seems to be quite high!

Although Jia Yucun has a meager background, his official position now is not low! The dignified and upright prefect of Yingtian is one of the two prefects with the highest official position in the country!

The person who was the first to be the introduction of Wu and Qian is just that. Now, Wu Zhong actually skipped Jia Yucun directly after pouring himself wine.

Although this may be an unintentional mistake, it can also be seen that Jia Yucun, a third-grade master, does not have a good status in their hearts......

It seems that the society in the land south of the Yangtze River is much more open than in the capital.

He thought of his policy of "leniency of agriculture and heavy business", perhaps, in the future, he could find a breakthrough point from the land south of the Yangtze River......
