Chapter 72: Ji Xiaolan
"Huh? How can you find out what trouble he's in? ", Chen Jialuo asked, this is not an opportunity, if you can help He Shen solve the problem, then Xinyan will have a chance to have a relationship with him, and when he goes to the place in the future, the signboard of the adult is still very useful. You don't need to inquire about it, this capital can't hide secrets! Mingrui said disdainfully, "Ming'er at noon, you go out with me to go out to various teahouses for a turn, everything is gentle!" "It's okay, just do as you say!" , Chen Jialuo picked up Xinyan's article and read it after sending away Mingrui and Shi Shuangying, and while reading it, he took a pen to scribble on the article, and explained the highlights and flaws of the article to Xinyan, "You have been in Gansu for so long, and you are more or less clear about things in the northwest, which is one more chance of winning than those rotten Confucians who stay at home, and if you think about it in the text, you will have a greater grasp of this test, and I will stay in the inn tomorrow to write an article, and I will go out with Mingrui to have a look." "Master, please inside!" , Outside the door of the teahouse, Xiao Er greeted Chen Jialuo and Mingrui diligently, and after welcoming them inside, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Two old guests, greeting upstairs!" On the second floor, the upstairs junior bowed down and asked, "Are you two sitting outside or in a private room?" What kind of tea do you want? There is a new arrival in our store, do you want to have some? The two of them came to inquire about the news, so naturally they would not go to the private room, Mingrui waved his hand and ordered, "Just outside, clean up the table, and taste your Biluochun, and serve some melon seeds and snacks!" "Okay, the second master is here, please!" Xiao Er led them to the window position, took off the towel on his shoulder and carefully wiped the table, "You two please sit down, tea and snacks will be here soon!" "This teahouse is not far from Ouchi, there are often Ouchi's father-in-law and junior officials in the court who come to drink tea, don't look at their position is not high, but they are well-informed, and it is perfect to inquire about the news!" , Seeing that there was no one next to him, Mingrui explained in a low voice, "It's a little early now, and in half an hour, this side should be full!" Sure enough, just as Mingrui said, after half an hour, the people in the teahouse gradually increased, judging from the costumes, there were eunuchs in Ouchi, and there were also sesame petty officials embroidered with herons and quails, one by one, pretending to be mysterious laughter and discussing what had happened in the court recently, although they all lowered their voices, but Chen Jialuo's internal strength had long been cultivated to the point of perfection, and he pricked up his ears to hear the news clearly; But I was depressed that I didn't hear any news about He Shen after listening to it for a while. "Master Ji, you're here! Hurry upstairs please! At this moment, there was a greeting from Xiao Er downstairs, and with the sound of tom's footsteps, the wooden staircase creaked, and it was obvious that the person who came up was not lightweight; A fat man walked upstairs, looking to be in his thirties, wearing a leather coat and holding a fan in his hand in the winter, squinting for a long time before finding an empty table to sit down, probably a little short-sighted. The eunuch who had just sat down at the next table quipped, "Isn't this Ji Hanlin?" What's going on with that fan in the middle of winter? I just thought of a pair, do you want to show the pair? The fat man known as Ji Hanlin cranked the folding fan in his hand, looking full of confidence, "Boss, please ask the question!" The old eunuch pinched the orchid finger in his hand and said in an official dialect with a slight southern accent, "Listen up, my Shanglian is Xiao Hanlin, wearing winter clothes and holding a summer fan, can you read a spring and autumn film?" The fat man was sharp-witted, and when he heard the old eunuch's southern accent, he immediately had a link, "Listen, I'm the old boss here, born in the south, and come to the north, is that thing still there?" As soon as the words fell, Chen Jialuo couldn't help but laugh out loud, except for a few eunuchs in the teahouse, they all laughed, and the old eunuch suddenly blushed, snorted and fled; Chen Jialuo asked Mingrui, "This person is interesting!" I don't know who it is? "This person's surname is Ji Mingyun Xiaolan, a native of Cangxian County, his father is a university scholar Ji Rongshu, he was known as a prodigy when he was a child, Qianlong was in the township in the twelfth year of the township to try to solve the yuan, and in the nineteenth year of the Jinshi, and now he is a bachelor of Hanlin!" , Mingrui has a very thorough understanding of the officialdom, and the other party's information comes as soon as he opens his mouth. "He's Ji Xiaolan?!" , Chen Jialuo stared at the fat man opposite with wide eyes, and combined with the deep impression left by Zhang Guoli on him, he suddenly felt like his three views were collapsing. "Yes, this person has always been witty, many people have suffered under his mouth, and the eunuch just now was just boring!" , Mingrui didn't notice Chen Jialuo's strange appearance, and still talked about Ji Xiaolan's deeds. "Oh." , Chen Jialuo looked at Ji Xiaolan thoughtfully, as if he couldn't think of something for a while, so he listened to the gossip in the teahouse and paid attention to Ji Xiaolan's side, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest immediately. It didn't take long for Ji Xiaolan's companions to come, and the two of them talked about what happened in the palace yesterday, Ji Xiaolan revealed the reason for He Shen's troubles, it turned out that Qianlong was very angry after receiving the news of Zhaohui's defeat, and he was about to send someone to the northwest to quell the rebellion, and after preparing for a period of time, the household department came to report that this year's Henan turmoil was first, and then the northwest was defeated, plus Qianlong's southern tour, seeing that there was a large expenditure before the year, and he was temporarily unable to supply grain and grass for the army on the expedition, in short, there was no money, and you had to wait for the northwest counterinsurgency; Of course, Qianlong was not happy, because He Shen had a reputation for being good at financial management, so he asked him about this question, and He Shen didn't have any good way for a while, so he was beaten and scolded by Qianlong, and he was naturally not in a good mood after returning home. So that's the case, Chen Jialuo silently wrote down this matter, how to deal with it? Will the Red Flower Society be able to find some opportunities to cause some trouble for the Qing court? However, in a hurry, Chen Jialuo couldn't come up with a good idea, since the news had been inquired clearly, there was no need to stay here any longer, and when he was about to leave, he heard a name from Ji Xiaolan's mouth, and immediately sat down again; I said, why did I always feel that something was wrong when I heard that it was Ji Xiaolan just now, how could I forget about this matter, wasn't the person Ji Xiaolan just said his friend! If you pull that person into your own team, it will be of great help to the rebellion of the Red Flower Society! Thinking of this, Chen Jialuo couldn't sit still anymore, so he got up and walked to Ji Xiaolan's table, bowed and asked, "Dare to ask if this is Bachelor Ji?" ”
Ji Xiaolan squinted her eyes and looked at Chen Jialuo, and asked suspiciously, "Dare to ask who is next?" Ji looks a little familiar to you, but you can't remember where you've seen it! ”
