Lian Ruohan couldn't hold back his curiosity: "Xia Xianzun has something to do with Mantuo?" Manta is not familiar with the place of true life, and if there is something to be done, leave it to me to handle. ”

Xia Xiang entrusted Mantuo to find a personal maid ring and entourage for him, Mantuo had already helped him find it, and the people were also brought to live idlely. As for Dong Xian's case, she has also made new discoveries, and she will continue to find out the truth tonight.

"Find a personal maid ring and a little thing with a servant, and you won't trouble even the little lady." Xia Xiang didn't want to hide this matter, "Although Liu Er is good, it is inconvenient to bring it to the inner house of the county government. ”

Lian Ruohan nodded and said, "That's right, it's good for Liu'er to stay and live idlely...... I don't know what else Xia Xianzun has to tell about Haojing Chang making medicine beds and medicine chairs? ”

Xia Xiang had reached a consensus with Lian Ruohan before, and Haojing Changzai was responsible for making the medicine bed and medicine chair, Xia Xiang had the responsibility of supervising the design to the production process, and as for the share, it was collected by Cao Shujun.

Xia Xiang's intention was naturally to popularize the medicine bed and medicine chair that cured Cao Yongguo and made the emperor's condition better, as for making money from it, it would be handled by Cao Shujun, he had neither time nor interest in intervening. The deeper intention is that through the medicine bed and medicine chair, he can get closer to the relationship with the good times, and it can be regarded as his return to Lian Ruohan for his strong support.

"The materials should be sufficient, the workmanship should be good, and the wormwood should be good. Although the medicine bed and medicine chair also want to make profits, it is still necessary to put the treatment of diseases and saving people in the first place. Xia Xiang believes that with Lian Ruohan's vision and courage, he will not cut corners, "As for the rest, the official doesn't know much about it, so he won't say much." ”

"Respect the teachings of Xia County." Lian Ruohan Zhengse said, "Within seven days, the first batch of finished products will be formed, and then I will ask Xia Xianzun for guidance." There is another thing, tonight I invited a friend to come to live in a casual place, introducing him to Xia Xianzun, he has always paid attention to the case of Dong Xian's suicide by throwing himself into the river, and may help Xia Xianzun solve the case. ”

"Who is it?" Xia Xiang couldn't help but be happy, and Lian Ruohan's move was undoubtedly a relief in the snow. Although he has just taken over the Dong Xian case and has not yet reached the end of the mountain, if there is help, he is naturally welcome and can close the case as soon as possible.

"Li Tuiguan has arrived." Ling'er's voice sounded outside the door.

"Xia Xianzun, Li Heng, the official of Zhending Mansion, has arrived, please go with the little girl for a week to greet you." Lian Ruohan got up and said.

What the? Is it true that the government is the magistrate? Xia Xiang was shocked, the official of Zhending Mansion was Zheng Qipin, the same level as him, but he was his boss, in charge of the criminal name of Zhending Mansion and the matter of prison lawsuits. Why didn't you say it earlier, he should have greeted him outside the gate.

Lian Ruohan said with a smile: "Li Tuiguan is visiting in private clothes, so there is no need to be too rigid about officialdom etiquette." ”

As they spoke, the two came to the door, and under the steps outside the door, a man was already standing.

The person who came was about thirty years old, a short beard fluttering, a body of civilian clothes fluttering, the figure was not fat or thin, not tall or short, the face was white, the eyes were bright, and the current station was quite a fairy wind and bones were born.

What a style! Xia Xiang secretly shouted Okay, if Cao Shujun saw this person, he would definitely be familiar with this person.

"Li Tuiguan is here, there is a disappointment, a faux pas, a faux pas." Xia Xiang went down the steps and saluted Li Heng, "Hurry up, please." ”

Li Heng returned the salute, grabbed Xia Xiang's arm, and said with a smile: "Xia Xianzun doesn't need to be polite, this official took the liberty to come, although he was invited by Lian Niangzi, but he did not ask Xia Xianzun's consent, and he was also an uninvited guest, and I hope Xia Xianzun doesn't mind." ”

Xia Xiang and Li Heng walked up the steps arm in arm: "Since they are friends of the little lady, that is, friends of the official, as long as Li Tuiguan is free, he can directly come to the idle house to drink tea with the official, why take the liberty of saying it?" ”

"You two don't have to be polite, it's important to hurry up and eat." Even Ruohan saw Xia Xiang and Li Heng at first sight, and he was also happy in his heart, "Ling'er, let people serve the food." ”

The eating place was arranged above the lobby, separated into an independent space with a screen, Xia Xiang pushed Li Heng to sit on the main seat, he accompanied him on the left, and Lian Ruohan sat on the right. Xiao Wu and Ling'er stood aside.

After a few words of greeting, Xia Xiang toasted Li Heng with a few glasses of wine. Li Heng did not refuse to come, he drank it all in one go, and his straightforwardness made Xia Xiang feel more cordial.

After a few glasses of wine, he felt a little closer, and Lian Ruohan took the opportunity to say: "I think Li Tuiguan and Xia Xianzun must be like-minded, so I recommended you two to know each other." Sure enough, it can be seen that my vision is not bad. ”

Li Heng smiled sideways at Lian Ruohan: "Lian Niangzi's vision has always been impeccable, and she has a clear eye. ”

Xia Xiang saw that Li Heng's attitude towards Lian Ruohan was three points restrained and seven points respectful, which showed that Lian Ruohan was obviously one level higher than him, he always avoided Lian Ruohan's eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, and did not dare to look at Lian Ruohan.

Lian Ruohan smiled and picked up the wine glass: "Come, the little girl respects Li Tuiguan and Xia Xianzun for a glass, and I hope that the two of you will take care of the good times in Zhending." The good times are really fixed at the beginning, the foothold is unstable, and some people intend to be bad for the good times, in case the good times are often calculated by the bad guys, please also ask Xia Xianzun and Li Tuiguan to be sure to uphold justice for the good times. ”

Xia Xiang only said casually to Lian Ruohan, in his opinion, the good times are always smooth in the capital, and dozens of stores have been opened in a row with an unstoppable momentum. Who will have such strength, who will have such guts?

Li Heng drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, put down the wine glass and said: "Even the lady, please rest assured, if there is really something, this official will do his best, I believe that Xia Xianzun will also help." ”

Xia Xiang also drank the wine in the cup, sandwiched a peanut and put it in his mouth: "Even the little lady's good times are always there, there should be no rival in Zhending, who would dare to calculate the good times so much?" Even the little lady doesn't want to laugh. ”

"There must be two rich people, Xu Wangshan in the east of the city, Ma Qingyuan in the south of the city, and Xia County Zun, why only the east of the city and the south of the city have rich people, but not in the west and north of the city?" Li Heng also picked up a peanut and ate it with relish.

Xia Xiang naturally didn't know, so he listened attentively: "I want to hear it." ”

"It's not that there are no rich people in the west and north of the city, but Xu Wangshan in the east of the city and Ma Qingyuan in the south of the city are well-known rich people, while Liu Changting in the west of the city and Xie Huagai in the north of the city are invisible and invisible, plus the two of them are low-key, and most of the business they do has nothing to do with ordinary people, so the two of them are not very famous in Zhending, and in the eyes of the people, it is as if they do not exist." Li Heng poured himself a cup, drank half a cup, and squinted his eyes slightly, "But in the eyes of real insiders, the combined wealth of Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan is not as good as a Liu Changting!" And Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan, plus Liu Changting, are not as good as a Xie Huagai! ”

Xia Xiang was taken aback!

The names of Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan, he had heard of them before he came to Zhending. Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan are not only a family of poets and scholars, but also have a merchant fleet of fertile land, although it is far less than the good business all over the world, but looking at the real place, they are also one of the richest. After all, if you really set a county, there are not too many rich businessmen.

Xu Wangshan, who doesn't want to connect mountains and gold, and Ma Qingyuan, who has a horse and a thousand miles of fertile land, together are not as good as a Liu Changting whose name he has never even heard! And the three of them together are even worse than a Xie Huagai.

Doesn't it mean that Xie Huagai is rich and rivals the country, and he can compete with the good times? In the small place of Zhending, there is such a character, no wonder Zhending is called Longtan Tiger's Den, and it is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

"What kind of business are Liu Changting and Xie Huagai engaged in?" Xia Xiang looked at Lian Ruohan meaningfully as he spoke, and Lian Ruohan did not mention the names of the two to him along the way.

Lian Ruohan shook her head slightly, the implication was that she didn't know about the two of them, and she didn't mean to hide it. It was indeed after Lian Ruohan came to Zhending that he heard the names of the two.

Li Heng smiled mysteriously, bent the middle finger of his right hand, and gently tapped the table: "I think it was three years after I came to Zhending, I overheard the names of Liu Changting and Xie Huagai, and after another two years, I knew who the two were." And until yesterday, it was clear what business the two of them were engaged in, Xia Xianzun, who came to the door rashly today, came empty-handed, Liu Changting and Xie Huagai, it was regarded as a small gift I gave to Xia Xianzun. ”

Being able to know the dragon and tiger hidden in his jurisdiction at the beginning of his tenure is not a thin gift, but a heavy gift, you must know that Li Heng spent five or six years to find out the true identity of Liu Changting and Xie Huagai, he got it today without any effort, Xia Xiang was overjoyed, and couldn't help but glance at Lian Ruohan more.

"Brother Li is so generous, but I am flattered." Xia Xiang no longer called Li Heng by his official name, nor did he call himself his own official, he got up and poured wine for Li Heng, and toasted first, "Thank you Brother Li for your love first, and I will do it first as respect." ”

Li Heng also reciprocated the favor, drank it all, took Xia Xiang's hand and asked him to sit down: "Brother Xia doesn't have to be so polite, since even the lady recognizes Xia Xianzun's personality, I naturally have nothing to say." Come, sit down, and listen to me slowly. ”

There was a gust of wind outside the window, blowing the leaves and rattling, if you listen carefully, you can also hear the sound of the Hutuo River flowing not far away, under the quiet autumn night, on the bank of the Hutuo River, there is a quiet residence, Xia Xiang suddenly has a feeling of intoxication and the warmth of home.

There is a woman like a flower, a sincere friend, a table of sumptuous meals, and a few pots of wine, so that Xia Xiang, who has been dependent on his mother since he was a child, is full of flowers in his heart.

Xia Xiang couldn't help but think of his mother, who didn't know where he was, and although Manta later told him about his mother's death, he still insisted that his mother hadn't left, she was just hiding, waiting for a suitable time to show up to meet him. At the same time, he also firmly believes that although Xia Lai and Xia Go are separated from him, they are both looking at the moon and looking forward to the day of reunion.

No wonder Du Fu has a poem that says: Life does not meet, but it is like participating in business. Tonight and night, a total of this lamp candlelight.

Li Heng is also very eloquent, his voice is low and frustrated, and he is still low and powerful.

"Speaking of which, I can know Liu Changting and Xie Huagai, and I have to thank Cui Fuzun." Li Hengwei was a little drunk, "Although I am the official of Zhending Mansion, I have no personal relationship with Cui Fuzun. Cui Fuzun is a strict person, never interacts with his subordinates outside of business, and is called Cui Fuzun by the people of Zhending Mansion as an iron-faced and selfless Cui judge. Once, Cui Fuzun was extremely happy for some reason, and held a banquet to invite colleagues and wealthy businessmen from Zhending Mansion. When Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan arrived, Cui Fuzun just nodded and did not get up to greet them. Later, the subordinates reported the arrival of Liu Changting and Xie Huagai, and Cui Fuzun not only immediately got up to greet him, but also greeted him out of the door and went down the steps......"

Greeting is a high-standard etiquette for greeting distinguished guests, second only to greeting guests when they go out. Xia Xiang was shocked in his heart, he could alarm the dignity of the mansion to descend to greet him, I am afraid that Liu Changting and Xie Huagai are not just as simple as being rich. With Cui Fuzun's identity, he will not go out to greet him unless a senior member of the fourth grade or above comes. An official of the same level of the fifth grade, he will not be demoted to greet him.

Even Ruohan was slightly stunned, she knew the rules of officialdom, and Daxia was a country of etiquette, and she paid the most attention to etiquette, which would neither exceed nor lack etiquette. Cui Fuzun only nodded to Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan, which was in line with common sense, but to Liu Changting and Xie Huagai, he was downgraded to greet him, which shows that Liu Xie's status is extremely noble.

Why didn't she know anything about Liu Xie and the others? Lian Ruohan thinks that if she talks about vision and knowledge, Xia Xiangyuan can't compare with her, after all, no matter her background or the level of everyone she can come into contact with, it is very human to compare, even so, she still doesn't know anything about Liu Changting and Xie Huagai, which shows how mysterious the identity of the two is.

Li Heng continued: "Many people present at that time were extremely shocked, looking at the Zhending Mansion, there should be no one who can be worthy of being greeted by Cui Mansion. Xia Xianzun must know that although Zhending Mansion is under the jurisdiction of Hebei West Road, it is one of the most important towns in the north of Great Xia after Kaifeng Mansion. Although King Jing concurrently serves as the envoy of Xuanfu on Hebei West Road, King Jing has never asked about political affairs, so the status of Zhending Mansion far exceeds that of other prefectures, and it faintly means that it is comparable to Tokyo. Usually, if it weren't for the arrival of high-ranking officials in Beijing, Cui Fuzun would not have been demoted to greet him. I have been in Zhending for three years, and it is also the first time I have seen Cui Fuzun bow to others. ”

Xia Xiang nodded, although Cui Xiang firmly implemented the new law and was a person appreciated by Hou Pingpan, Cui Xiang was also a square person, and he had a clear name, and he had heard of it in the capital.

When Cui Fuzun introduced Liu Changting and Xie Huagai, he only said it simply, and did not say exactly what the identities of the two were. After three rounds of drinking, some people took advantage of the wine to toast Liu Changting and Xie Huagai, and both of them refused to drink on the grounds that they were too strong to drink. Later, someone was dissatisfied and raised a glass to the two again, but Cui Fuzun suddenly became angry and threw the cup away, shocking everyone on the spot. Li Heng shook his head and smiled, "There are always people who don't know the height of the sky, and want to know who the person who even Cui Fuzun is downgraded to greet is sacred, but it angered Cui Fuzun, and the gains outweigh the losses." However, it is precisely because of the recklessness of a few people that the identities of Liu Xie and the others are even more unfathomable. After Cui Fuzun left, the banquet did not disperse, and everyone had different opinions, all speculating about who Liu Xie and the others were. ”

Liu Xie and the others let everyone speculate and discuss, but they never said a word, for other people's inquiries, the two waved their hands or shook their heads and smiled, and finally everyone was helpless, so they had to surround Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan in the middle, wanting to know something from the mouths of the two. In the eyes of everyone, Xu Wangshan in the east of the city and Ma Qingyuan in the south of the city are the two great riches in Zhending, and the two must know a thing or two about the origins of Liu Changting and Xie Huagai. ”

Xia Xiang also thought about it, Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan had been entrenched in Zhending for many years, and it was impossible not to know that there were two giant tigers sleeping soundly on the side of the couch. Unexpectedly, even Ruohan smiled: "I guess Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan don't know who Liu Xie is." ”

Even the lady guessed correctly, Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan were also stunned, like everyone, not to mention knowing the origin of Liu Changting and Xie Huagai, they didn't even know who the two were. Everyone almost couldn't believe that Xu Ma, who was calling for wind and rain in Zhending, and Xu Ma, who were rich like mountains and good fields, didn't know who Liu Xie and the others were. Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, even Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan didn't know how unfathomable the origin of the people should be. Just when everyone thought that no one in the audience knew the origin of Liu Xie and the others, one of them stood up and toasted Liu Xie and the others, and the two not only clinked glasses with him and drank, but also chatted with him affectionately......

"Who is it?" Lian Ruohan raised his eyebrows, showing curiosity.

"Who is it?" Xia Xiang was also surprised.

"A person who no one could have imagined. This person is also known to Xia Xianzun. Yes, even the lady knows. Li Heng took a sip of wine complacently, and wanted to pour himself another drink, but when he saw that Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan were eager to do so, he was embarrassed to sell Guan Zi again, and said, "It's Xu Heguang." ”

Xu Heguang? Xia Xiang was stunned for a moment, then figured out the reason, and couldn't help laughing: "In the end, it is a family, Cui Fuzun really loves Xu Heguang." ”

"What I said is that Cui Fuzun is upright, only one point, afraid of guilt, haha." Li Heng laughed and raised his glass, "I salute Xia County Zun and Lian Niangzi again." ”

Xia Xiang drank it all, but Lian Ruohan raised his glass and pondered, and asked puzzledly: "Liu Xie and the others are not from the four great families, so noble, could it be that they are the people of the three princes?" I heard that the Third Prince secretly laid out many forces in various parts of Great Xia, and in addition to local officials, there were also many invisible super-rich. ”

There is also such a possibility, Xia Xiang nodded and said: "With the ambition of the Three Princes, with the importance of the Zhending Mansion, there must be various forces of the Three Princes in the land of Zhending, both openly and secretly. ”

Li Heng smiled: "It's really hard to say whether Liu Xie and the others are the people of the three princes, but there is one point, the two of them have surfaced after this incident, but the people present are all smart people, and no one has spread the word, but you know that I know that everyone knows it." After this incident, although Liu Xie and the others were famous, they were limited to a few people who attended the banquet, and no one leaked the slightest rumor. It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare to risk offending the forces behind Cui Fuzun and Liu Xie. ”
