Chapter 209: Meet your father-in-law

"I still have to do something in Hangzhou, if Brother Seven is in a hurry, you can go to Fujian first, if you are not in a hurry, you can also go to Hangzhou to take a look, Brother Seven will change a lot in these days in Shandong!" , arrived at the Hangzhou wharf, and got on the carriage prepared by the Hangzhou rudder of the Red Flower Society, Chen Jialuo said to Xu Tianhong. ↖,

"The changes brought by the chief helmsman to the meeting for more than a year, although the little brother already knows it from the letters in the meeting, but after all, seeing is believing!" , Xu Tianhong's face was indifferent, "If the chief helmsman doesn't suspect his subordinates of slacking off, his subordinates want to rest in Hangzhou for a few days now, and then leave together after the chief helmsman is finished." ”

"That's fine!" , Xu Tianhong is one of the few people with brains among the leaders of the Red Flower Society, but unfortunately he is not Chen Jialuo's person now, let him see the changes in Hangzhou, so as not to feel overwhelmed when he arrives in Fuding!

It was still Ma Shanjun's yard by the West Lake, and the Ma family father and son got the news and pushed a number of shopping malls to wait for Chen Jialuo's arrival, "I've seen the chief helmsman and the seven masters!" ”

"Brother Ma doesn't have to be polite, I'm going to bother Brother Ma for a few days this time!" , Chen Jialuo stretched out his hand to help the two of them up.

Today's banquet is Chen Jialuo, Xu Tianhong and Ma Shanjun, father and son, and after drinking three glasses of wine, Ma Shanjun couldn't help but ask, "Chief helmsman, it is said that there have been great changes in Beijing, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

"Well, the court of the Tartars is now divided in two! Prince Zhuang took a group of Manchurian relatives to Shengjing, presumably it won't be long before they will fight! Chen Jialuo said unhurriedly, "When they are almost finished, we will officially start the incident!" Brother Ma is responsible for collecting grain and grass, and he must step up preparations! ”

"Please rest assured that the subordinates have hoarded ten thousand stone of grain, and the rest are being shipped one after another." , Ma Shanjun's smiling eyes were about to narrow. "Since I used the method of the chief helmsman, this business of my subordinates can be described as making money every day! There are no less than two percent of the weaving workshops that have closed down in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and now our safflower society has become the largest workshop in Suzhou and Hangzhou; When his subordinates went out, other businessmen had to give some face, and several big grain merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou went to their subordinates' mansions all day long, in order to get more silk, cotton cloth and other things from their subordinates. ”

"Well, the troop movement of the Su and Hangzhou generation also bothers Brother Ma to pay attention. If you are an officer who has the heart to the Han people, you may wish to deal more with them on weekdays, and the proportions of it are controlled by Brother Ma himself, in short, everything is based on safety! Chen Jialuo expressed satisfaction with Ma Shanjun's work, "Brother Ma will stay in Brother Ma's mansion these days, Brother Ma might as well take Brother Seven around to have a look!" ”

After finishing the official business in the meeting, he rested in Ma Shanjun's mansion for one night, and at noon on the second day, Chen Jialuo came to the outside of the Zhejiang Water and Land Governor's Mansion, secretly feeling guilty in his heart. I promised Li Yuanzhi that I would come back soon, but I didn't know that things in Beijing had been delayed for so long! Hey, I'm afraid she's sad now! When he arrived at the gate of the Admiral's Mansion, Chen Jialuo took out He Shen's name card and handed it in. Menzi took a look and hurriedly respectfully invited Chen Jialuo to the gatehouse to sit down, served tea and hurriedly went in to report. But to Chen Jialuo's surprise, this time it was not as smooth as the previous revelation of Heshen's name, and he waited for half an hour before leading him in.

Hey? What's going on? According to common sense, it is inferred that now someone comes to the door with the name of the emperor's favorite courtier, and Li Kexiu should come out to receive it as soon as possible no matter what. But now it's dragging him for half an hour, why? Chen Jialuo's mind was spinning rapidly. From the depths of his memory, the information about Li Kexiu obtained from Lu Feiqing and Li Yuanzhi was dug up and analyzed in detail, and this person's military level is generally very good at being an official. It was appreciated by his superiors, so he was able to complete the difficult move of transferring from poor Anxi to wealthy Hangzhou. Didn't he have a different mind after the great changes in Beijing? Of course, he didn't have the courage to rebel, but it was normal to delay a little before the situation became clear in order to sell in an attempt to wait for a price.

In a blink of an eye, I had arrived at the living room where Li Kexiu was meeting guests, and when I entered the hall, I looked up, and there was an old man in his forties and fifties at the top, and a master at the bottom. There are also men dressed as officers. Presumably they are all subordinates of Li Kexiu's cronies; The corners of Chen Jialuo's eyes twitched slightly, how can I ask for a kiss from so many people in Nima!

After Li Kexiu received the famous post, he used his brain to figure out the purpose of coming! Combined with the situation in Beijing, if this person is a cronie of He Shen, then it is estimated that there is only one purpose for coming to him, to subdue himself for Qianlong. In the past, this was an undesirable thing, but now Prince Zhuang has publicized the fact that Qianlong was not Yongzheng's flesh and blood and testament after occupying Shengjing. It has made the hearts of all the people in the world fluctuate, and even General Hangzhou, who has dealt with him a lot on weekdays, has been a little strange recently, if he rashly agrees, what if he is evil? As the saying goes, the county officials are not as good as the current management, the emperor is far away in the capital, and the general of Hangzhou is in this Hangzhou city, so it is better to avoid it. So in order to avoid suspicion, Li Kexiu specially recruited several generals to accompany him, which can be regarded as a witness for himself.

"Who's coming? I don't know what important things to tell this official with my lordship? Li Kexiu's tone was unfamiliar.

"It's not Heshen's person in the next place, I bought this post with money, just to see Admiral Li!" , Chen Jialuo saw that He Shen's name post was counterproductive, so he immediately threw it away.

"Who the hell are you?" , Li Kexiu had a toothache for a while, and it took so much effort to prepare, but it was all useless.

"Miss Li knows the identity below." , Chen Jialuo pretended to smile mysteriously, "I came here for a private matter this time, I wonder if Lord Admiral can talk in a different place?" After speaking, Chen Jialuo looked at the others.

After her daughter came back, she was quite lively in the first month, who knew that the longer the time, the less she smiled, could it be because of this kid? Li Kexiu looked at Chen Jialuo carefully, this person has a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament, at first glance, he is from a family and is afraid of high positions, just by appearance, he is also a character who can cause debts.

As soon as they heard that it was a private matter and related to the Admiral's favorite lady, the others said goodbye one after another, Li Kexiu waved his hand lightly, and many subordinates rushed out; After a while, only Chen Jialuo and Li Kexiu were left in the living room.

"Who the hell are you? Now you can always say it! Li Kexiu's voice revealed a hint of uneasiness, should I invite my wife too?

"Chen Jialuo, the chief helmsman of the Red Flower Society, came here this time to ask Admiral Li for marriage!" , Chen Jialuo took a long look after speaking. (To be continued......)
