As soon as he heard that the imperial court had sent a big official like the governor down, even Zhu Cunshu, the son of King Qin, was a little intimidated, was silent for a while, and agreed: "Yes." Then you send someone to send the tenants out of the city, and I will tell the chief of the palace to pack up the team and return to the palace immediately. ”

Chen Yingyuan didn't want to offend the Qin Wangfu too much, so he pretended to obey Zhu Cunshu's orders, arched his hand and said, "Then the lower official will obey the orders of the prince." "It can be regarded as saving face for Zhu Cunshu.

So under the command of Chen Yingyuan, the prefect of Xi'an, hundreds of tenants and palace guards withdrew one by one. This "Lao Wanxing" restaurant, which is not big or small, was still noisy like a pot of boiling water, and now it has finally returned to its previous calm with the departure of everyone.

The restaurant is the property of the Ji family, so Ji Qingwen did not leave with everyone, but sat on the chair alone, his mind fluctuated, his face was cloudy, and he didn't seem to have reacted from the thrilling turmoil just now.

But what he didn't know was that after the turmoil just now, he had actually postponed the imminent uprising of Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng at the end of the Ming Dynasty - and the arrival of he, a traverser, was like a butterfly flapping its wings, about to trigger an unstoppable and violent hurricane that would change the course of history!

Just as Ji Qingwen was thinking about it, he suddenly heard an anxious voice from outside the restaurant: "What's wrong?" What's going on? Qing'er didn't have an accident, right? ”

This voice is very familiar to Ji Qingwen, it is his father Ji Guangming in the Ming Dynasty.

I saw Ji Guangming, a short and white fat man, with a waist circumference almost longer than his height, and he ran to Ji Qingwen quickly, took his son's hand, and looked up and down many times, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Ouch, it's okay, I'm not injured." These tenants are so hateful, see how I clean them up in the future. ”

After half a year, Ji Qingwen more or less accepted the setting that Ji Guangming was his father, so he followed his meaning and said: "Forget it, Dad, what do you have to do with these mud legs?" Oh, by the way, the tenant negotiation is down, and next year the tenant rent will remain the same, not a penny, not a lot. ”

Ji Guangming was a little overjoyed when he heard this, patted Ji Qingwen's shoulder and said, "Good son, you have the ability!" With such a harvest in the past two years, it is not easy for you to stabilize the tenant rent. You are so promising, Dad, I can be regarded as worthy of your dead mother's spirit in the sky......" He was touched by his words, and tears oozed from his eyes.

Ji Qingwen was full of disdain, and said: "Dad, of course my mother is happy to see that I have a chance." But if she sees the lady of the sixth room you married, I don't know if she will be happy to come out......"

Ji Guangming was embarrassed by this, raised his right hand and patted Ji Qingwen's head, and said, "Good boy, you dare to make fun of your father, it's really dizzy!" ”

Ji Qingwen scratched his scalp and said: "Dad, today's discussion is like this, it's almost time now, I'm really sleepy and can't stand it, I have to go back to sleep first, if we have something to say, let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" ”

Ji Guangming nodded and said: "You say so, I really have a few important things to tell you, you go back to sleep first, and I will come back to you tomorrow." With that, Ji Guangming instructed the shopkeeper to call a few runners in the restaurant, and together with Xiao Duozi, escorted Ji Qingwen and the others back to the house to rest.

This night, when Ji Qingwen closed his eyes, all that appeared was Li Zicheng's yellow and clear pupils, Xu Hongru's wrinkled old face, and when he opened his eyes, he seemed to see Xiuying's graceful figure and beautiful face......

In this way, Ji Qingwen tossed and turned, and he didn't sleep well all night. It wasn't until the sun was rising over the horizon that he barely fell asleep.

But not long after he closed his eyes, Ji Guangming's voice came from his ears again: "Son, get up soon!" It's time to wake up! ”

Helpless, Ji Qingwen had no choice but to send Xing'er and serve him to get up and freshen up.

Before Ji Qingwen could tidy up, his father Ji Guangming couldn't wait to push the door in and said, "Son, my father has something important to tell you, why are you getting up so slowly?" ”

Ji Qingwen complained: "Dad, I'm already moving fast, what important thing do you have to tell me?" I'm still hungry, can you wait until I'm done with breakfast? ”

"What does it matter if I have breakfast?" Ji Guangming said that, in the end, he still loved his son, and ordered Xing'er to make a bowl of lotus seed porridge and send it over, and after Ji Qingwen drank a few sips, he said again, "Son, let me ask you, do you know what Daddy and I did yesterday?" ”

Ji Qingwen drank porridge and said: "Daddy, you don't have time to preside over such a big matter, Dad, you must be doing something more important, right?" ”

Ji Guangming smiled and said: "It's worthy of being my son, it's really smart!" Tell you, the future of the rest of your life, Dad, I have paved the way for you. ”

Ji Qingwen's face was full of doubts, and asked: "My family is so rich, even if I lie down and spend it, I can't spend it all, as long as I don't lose my family, I will still be uncomfortable for the rest of my life?" What could be a better future? ”

Ji Guangming replied: "What's so great about being rich? These industries of my family, the court and the government can be cleaned with a word, and I think that when Zhang Jiangling's old minister (Zhang Juzheng) was there, our family was almost ...... Therefore, having money is only secondary, and the most important thing is that there must be people in the court! ”

Ji Qingwen answered: "Listen to what my father means, is it that you have set up a line with a big official in the official mansion?" ”

Ji Guangming looked proud, and said: "Line, Dad, I have already boarded it, it is the old man Dai Liyin who was sent by the imperial court to inspect Shaanxi yesterday." But yesterday, when Dad greeted Lord Dai, he got a few important news. ”

Ji Qingwen looked at the mysterious expression on Ji Guangming's face, and asked, "What news?" ”

Ji Guangming raised his eyes and looked around at the surrounding environment, and said in a low voice: "Master Dai said that he came to Xi'an this time to pass on the edict to the lord of Qin in the city, saying that the emperor of the Apocalypse has died, and he has set up his younger brother Xin Wang Ye as the emperor, and he will change the year name to Chongzhen next year!" ”

Ji Qingwen was shocked when he heard this-he knew that Emperor Chongzhen was the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he reigned for more than ten years, and the Ming Dynasty would fall.

Ji Guangming saw Ji Qingwen's thoughtful expression, and thought that he was shocked by the news of the emperor's death, so he smiled and said: "The emperor's death is not a bad thing for our Ji family." At that time, as long as you go to Beijing to take the exam, you will definitely be able to enter high school and shine in the court, and my Ji family will also have a son of an official faction, and from then on, it will soar to the top ......"

"Slow, slow, slow......" Ji Qingwen interrupted Ji Guangming's words and asked, "Dad, you are too good at this abacus, I can only learn this point, and I can't get into the Jinshi even if I think about it......"

Ji Guangming smiled: "I didn't expect you kid to be a little self-aware, knowing how many catties and taels you have." Tell you, how did you come to raise people in the first place, and this is how the Jinshi came this time......"

Only then did Ji Qingwen know that he still had a reputation for lifting people, and he thought that he was a gentleman who didn't learn or knew how to do it, and he wanted to be lifted unless he was ......

So he asked tentatively, "Could it be that Daddy bribed the examiner?" ”

"Of course!" Ji Guangming immediately answered, "It's the same this time, Dad, I rely on the face of Governor Dai, let the old man take the lead, and take care of it up and down, as long as you enter the examination room, write a few words on the test paper casually, and someone in the court will take care of it." ”

Ji Qingwen was happy to hear this, and after thinking about it, he suddenly felt bad, and asked again: "Dad, I remember that in addition to the entrance examination, there is also the palace examination. The main examination of the examination is easy to buy, but the palace examination is checked by the emperor, how can he buy the emperor? ”

In fact, he still wanted to say in his heart that Emperor Chongzhen was impatient and serious, and he was not so easy to fool, but as soon as he said this, he would inevitably expose the identity of the traverser, so he could only swallow his words back.

Ji Guangming didn't know what he was thinking, his face was even more proud, and he said: "Don't worry, this time the joints that my father and I have opened up can be more effective than Long Live Lord......"
