129. Rakusudo
The lunch in Qifengzhuang is very lively, except for Zhao Rongrong looking at Yao Fangyu with a complaining look from time to time, everything is fine. After the meal, Zhao Fengming called Nangong Jin to the study alone.
In the study, Zhao Fengming did not sit, but held on to two bamboo poles to do a half-squatting action, "Don't be surprised, Dr. Xiao Du said that you should practice the strength of your lower limbs." He also taught a lot of movements, hehe. He gestured to another oddly shaped shelf, "That's what he did, too." Mrs. Xiao Du is good, and her medical skills are also good. ”
Nangong Jin laughed and recommended: "His ambition is to be a miracle doctor, if his father-in-law doesn't dislike the doctor, it's still okay to be a grandson-in-law." ”
"I think so. However, my Rongrong likes to look good, and Dr. Du is a little ordinary. By the way, has Li Gongzi been married? ”
Nangong Jin almost choked on the tea, and hurriedly said, "No." Did the stepfather take a fancy to him? Our family is really good, it looks good, and the family has a lot of property, but the key is that there are no in-laws, and as soon as the door is passed, it is the housewife. ”
Zhao Fengming said worriedly: "I'm afraid that he has a sweetheart ......." ”
"He? This man also has few tendons. The family asked him to find what he liked, he would rather go to glass, and next year the family will marry him anyway. Nangong Jin said with certainty.
"Glass?"
"Yes, he did it himself, saying that he was going to make a glass for everyone in the family, and he had already made a few of them, which I thought was good. He also said that if this is done, all the windows in the house must be replaced with glass. Although Nangong used a disgusted tone, he still had a little pride of 'my cousin is a genius'.
Zhao Fengming laughed, the more he thought about it, the better it became, he was afraid that Nangong Jin would think he was too anxious, so he changed the topic: "Miss Yao has seen the world, she talks generously, she should be a cheerful person when she looks at it, and she has set a date?" ”
Nangong Jin paused, and said embarrassedly: "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, in fact, now it's just a favor for each other, and ...... behind, I'm afraid there will be no back." ”
"Help?" Zhao Fengming looked at him in surprise: "Help sometimes look at her and smirk from time to time?" Have a meal and help with the dishes? The soup splashed on the table, and also helped to wipe it clean? Shaking his head, he smiled and said, "This favor is distracting." ”
Nangong Jin blushed, "I mean, this, of course it's good for her to be willing, but ......, I can't force others, right?" ”
"You've known her for a long time?"
"Forget it. At that time, we were all young, and we didn't talk about the future. ”
Zhao Fengming nodded: "However, women, they are always a little stupid." If she had you in her heart, of course, she would have the best of both worlds, and now it looks like she's ...... to you Not as distracted as you. ”
Nangong Jinbian flattened his mouth: "I know, just helping." ”
Zhao Fengming smiled, "Don't be discouraged, it's really fanciful, it's not good to give up easily." The Yao family is not a big family in the South China Sea, and it is an orphan girl, and the family background is indeed inferior to your Nangong family. However, it is better than herself, if you can get her help to work hard with you, it will be a lot easier. ”
looked at Nangong Jin, and saw that he seemed to be pondering, and estimated what rumors he had heard, so he persuaded: "She is not young, she has never been married, and there are indeed many rumors on the rivers and lakes." It's unclear whether it's true or not, it's just that in the past few years, in the eyes of her father-in-law, she has not had a good life. However, Miss Yao is a smart person and should soon understand. ”
Nangong Jin raised her head and asked cautiously, "Her master?" ”
Zhao Fengming said with a smile: "There is always her intention to let you help like this." Fortunately, she can think of you, which can be regarded as an opportunity. You're not too young, as long as you don't mind those rumors, your father-in-law thinks she has the talent to help you share the burden. ”
Nangong Jin nodded silently and remained silent.
Zhao Fengming got up, stopped half-squatting, sat down on the chair next to him, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's talk about business." Dr. Xiao Du kept saying that there were not enough people, and Zhao Feng told me that he wanted to transfer some people to Xiaoye Village. ”
"I looked for some connections and inquired about Yang Wentian's situation in Beijing. It turned out that the Yang family's business in the capital was not small. At first, it was a blacksmith shop, and now in addition to these shops, the largest is a large workshop specializing in ironware around the capital. Since a few years ago, his family has wanted to meddle in the ordnance business, and I heard that the military department has recently changed several officials, and his family's affairs have suddenly taken a turn for the better. ”
Zhao Fengming frowned, and said thoughtfully: "If you can open an iron workshop to make ironware, his family will not be simple." Now, is it to make ordnance? ”
Nangong Jin nodded, "Tatar has always had our Ming ordnance, and Yang Wentian's affairs depend on what the imperial court thinks." ”
"He can make iron, he can't have a backstage. Even....... This matter will affect Nangong Jin, Zhao Fengming is worried.
"What if I report it to Jinyiwei?" Nangong Jin said suddenly.
Zhao Fengming was stunned, and looked up at him for a long time, "Anonymous? ”
"It's useless to be anonymous, they'll find out who it is first."
Zhao Fengming sighed, "Ah Jin, you are too bold. ”
"Actually, it's not that dangerous." Nangong Jin laughed, "I am their master, if the Yang family commits a crime, the main family will also be implicated, it is better for me to directly report them for smuggling weapons." At the very least, it can prove that I, the master, do not show favoritism. Besides, Jinyiwei is the emperor, but this does not mean that they have no position. Now it depends on who Yang Wentian's backstage is. ”
"You found it?"
"No, the Jinyi Guard will check anyway." Nangong Jin said it easily.
"You ......." Zhao Fengming didn't know what to say. Although I think he has some truth in what he said, the risk is too great.
Nangong Jin smiled: "That is, they called to talk about it a few times." If they don't reveal their identity, it means that there is a play. ”
"It's a gamble."
"I think there's an 80 percent chance of winning. How many officials and yamen in Beijing can stand up to investigation? If you really check it, those adults will definitely abandon their pawns to protect the commander. ”
Zhao Fengming thought about it, but still shook his head, "No matter what, Leshui Hall is under the Nangong Gate, whether it is reported by the main family or not, I am afraid that I will be responsible." Besides, if even the Jinyi Guard can't find out what happened, then ....... Alas, Jinyiwei. ”
Hearing Zhao Fengming say this, Nangong Jin could only smile bitterly: "Yes, Pingyang has been seized by them once, and no matter how good the relationship with the local government is, it is useless." ”
"You know how to do it?"
"We don't have enough people, and we want to make it refreshing. Yang Wentian, it is very difficult for us to bring down in a short period of time, and we can only borrow external forces. I know that Jinyiwei can't help us to come, no matter what, before they set up the Yang family, we will first withdraw Leshuitang and report to the government. The Yang family's property in Jingli has nothing to do with us, as long as they don't check Jingzhou Leshuitang's. ”
Zhao Fengming always felt that he was thinking simply, but he couldn't think of a more suitable way. I only heard Nangong Jin smile and said: "It's useless to think about this matter." However, regarding the matter of Xiaoye Village, I think my father-in-law should not send people here for the time being. ”
Zhao Fengming didn't seem to understand what he meant, "Xiaoye Village, to say the least, there are about three hundred people." Moreover, Li Gongzi has always been worried that the evidence is not enough. ”
"So, I want the Iron Knife Hall to do it."
Zhao Fengming had a flash of inspiration, and instantly understood Nangong Jin's intentions, and smiled very meaningfully, "What is Qin Yongsen's attitude?" You haven't talked about it yet. ”
Nangong Jin nodded, "That's why my father-in-law didn't send anyone for the time being." If the talk is not good, it is better to leave a way back. ”
