Zhao Deyi was naturally mentally prepared for this, but what he couldn't accept was that in the transaction with the Jurchens this year, the Fuxiang actually lost a sum of money to the Jurchens because he missed the trading time, and this kind of low-level mistake was absolutely intolerable to him.

The reason why the Jin merchants and the Hui merchants are based on the Ming business community in the south and the north is because they have their own business foundations, the foundation of the Hui merchants is overseas trade, commonly known as "maritime merchants", and the Jin merchants are border trade, commonly known as "border merchants".

Therefore, Zhao Deyi worked hard to establish trade routes with the northern ethnic minorities, and the Jurchens were the most important trade objects.

"How could something happen to such an important trade?" Zhao Deyi frowned and asked the middle-aged man with a mustache, in his opinion, the occurrence of this incident was simply incredible.

"I heard that it was calculated by others." The middle-aged man with a mustache groaned for a while and said, he didn't know exactly what was going on.

"It's such a waste, I can't even do this little thing." Zhao Deyi couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, God knows what the truth of the matter is, but I think it is also because the leader is too stupid to make such an unforgivable low-level mistake.

"Third master, why did you let the young master participate in the imperial examination, if the young master's identity is revealed, the consequences will be unimaginable." The middle-aged man with a mustache remembered another thing, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Deyi with concern.

"Providence, everything is providence!" Zhao Deyi came back to his senses, smiled bitterly and said, the so-called cycle of cause and effect, since he and Li Renhai have made a marriage contract, the marriage between Zhao Xin and Li Hongyu cannot be cut.

"Providence?" The middle-aged man with a mustache couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, Zhao Deyi's reaction at this time made him feel very strange, as if he was very helpless, could there be any unknown secret in it?

However, since Zhao Deyi has an unspeakable hidden mustache, the middle-aged man will naturally not inquire, and if Zhao Deyi thinks he should know, he will definitely tell him.

Qingyuan County, Zhaojiabao.

Zhaojiabao is the largest township in Qingyuan County, as the name suggests, half of the town's residents are surnamed "Zhao", and it is the location of the Fuxiang business name.

At this moment, the entrance of Zhaojiabao was crowded with people, boiling and surging, and even the people of nearby villages rushed to see the excitement after learning the news of Zhao Xin's return to his hometown.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhaojiabao has never been out of the township test, and this time not only Zhao Xin, the Yayuan of the Huguang Township Test, came, but even the Xie Yuan of the Huguang Township Test also arrived, which naturally attracted everyone's interest.

At the front of the crowd, an old man in his sixties was surrounded by some brightly dressed male and female stars holding the moon, he was the owner of the Fuxiang and Zhao Xin's grandfather, Old Man Zhao.

It stands to reason that Daming puts filial piety first, and of course Old Man Zhao doesn't have to come out to greet Zhao Deyi and Zhao Xin, who is admitted to the Central Asian Yuan, but because he is accompanied by Li Hongyu, Xie Yuanlang, who ranks higher than Zhao Xin in the township test, then Old Man Zhao must not stay at home, otherwise he will be criticized by the outside world for messing up the etiquette.

Old man Zhao was surrounded by the respected villagers of Zhaojiabao, and they congratulated the old man Zhao, and also felt sorry for Zhao Xin, if Zhao Xin stayed in Zhaojiabao to participate in the imperial examination, then Zhaojiabao would appear in the first township to test the Yuan.

However, everyone is very optimistic about Zhao Xin's future, and Zhao Xin's ability to stand out in the Huguang Township test where the heroes are gathered means that she is strong and will definitely become the first Jinshi in the history of Zhaojiabao.

Old man Zhao smiled silently in the compliments of everyone, no one noticed the worry that flashed in his eyes, to be honest, he didn't expect Zhao Xin to participate in the imperial examination in Huguang and unexpectedly won the Yayuan in the township examination, which made him both happy and worried.

Obviously, Zhao Xin's high school Yayuan allows the Zhao family to glorify their ancestors and improve the status of the Zhao family in Taiyuan Mansion, but Zhao Xin is a daughter after all, even if she covers it up well, she is likely to reveal flaws, so the consequences will be unimaginable, and if you don't do it, you will lose your head and deceive the king.

Unlike Old Man Zhao, his wife, Zhao Xin's grandmother, Mrs. Zhao was so happy at this time, she didn't think as much as Old Man Zhao, thinking that Zhao Xin had earned a breath for the Zhao family this time, and at the same time, she was naturally happy to see her most favored granddaughter.

"Uncle, this time Young Master Xin was admitted to Yayuan, will the old man change his mind in favor of the third master?" In the crowd not far from Old Man Zhao, a middle-aged man who looked a little similar to Zhao Deyi was surrounded in the middle, and one of the men asked in a cautious low voice.

This middle-aged man who looks a little similar to Zhao Deyi is Zhao Deyi's eldest brother Zhao Dexiao, who is now the principal of the Fuxiang.

"Since the old man has made up his mind, it is not so easy to change." Zhao Dexiao couldn't help but flash a sneer at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and he didn't care about it.

Although Zhao Xin was admitted to Yayuan and was able to glorify his ancestors, in his opinion, Zhao Deyi lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot, and it was even more impossible for Old Man Zhao to hand over the Fuxiang to Zhao Deyi, otherwise once Zhao Xin's identity was revealed, the entire Fuxiang would be over.

"Second master, will the third master fight with the uncle when he comes back this time?" At the same time, a man whispered to another middle-aged man who was surrounded by people, a look of schadenfreude on his face.

"Although the third child can bear it, those who follow him have already been angry, and the third child is a person who values love and righteousness, so even if he wants to be alone when he comes back this time, it is impossible." The middle-aged man smiled slightly when he heard this, and said confidently that he was Zhao Xin's second uncle, Zhao Deren.

"The more the uncle and the third master fight, the better, and the second master can just profit from it." Hearing this, the other man smiled flatteringly.

Zhao Deren smiled and looked up at the road in the distance, his brows furrowed slightly, he is now fighting with Zhao Dexiao for the control of the Fuxiang has reached a white heat, and he needs to use external forces to bring down Zhao Dexiao, in the final analysis, Zhao Dexiao is the eldest son and grandson of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family's property should fall into the hands of Zhao Dexiao.

In fact, Zhao Deren originally wanted to win over his fourth brother Zhao Deli, but Zhao Deli was a concubine, so he was not qualified to take over the Zhao family and Fuxiang, and served as the chief treasurer of the Beiping Fuxiang branch, and was the best ally.

It's a pity that Zhao Deli is self-aware, and he didn't get involved in the power struggle of the Zhao family, and everything is based on the old man Zhao, which makes Zhao Deren unable to rely on him at all.

"Brother Zhang, why are you here?" Just when Old Man Zhao was talking and laughing, an old man of the same age walked over, and Old Man Zhao smiled when he saw this and stepped forward to say hello.

"Brother Zhao, congratulations, Xin'er's high school Huguang Township test Yayuan this time is really a long face for our Zhao Jiabao." The old man smiled and bowed his hand to Old Man Zhao and said, "Now that Xie Yuanlang from Lianhu Guangxiang is here, I naturally have to come out to greet him, otherwise I will lose my manners." ”

He is the only person in Zhaojiabao, the first move in the Wanli Dynasty, in the Taiyuan Mansion lifting circle can be described as a deep seniority, even the old man Zhao has to respect him for three points, if it is not for Li Hongyu to come, he will definitely not go to the town to greet him.

Although Zhang Juren's qualifications are profound, Li Hongyu is Xie Yuan, and he doesn't know how much higher the township test ranking is than him, so when the two meet, he has to salute Li Hongyu first.

"Brother Zhao, is Xin'er still unmarried?" After chatting a few words, Zhang Juren asked with a smile.

Since Zhao Xin was admitted to Zhonghu Guangxiang to test Yayuan, there have been many local clans in Taiyuan Mansion who have the idea of marriage, and Zhang Juren is entrusted by others, so he wants to keep a matchmaker.

"Let Brother Zhang worry about it, Xin'er's marriage has been booked by the third child of my family, and the other party is a big family in Huguang, so he will handle the family affairs after waiting for the weak crown." Old Man Zhao naturally knew Zhang Juren's intentions, so he replied with a smile.

"The lake is good, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the people are outstanding, the style of learning is prosperous, and the heirs of Xin'er will definitely be unlimited in their careers if they stay there in the future." Hearing this, a look of disappointment suddenly flashed on Zhang Juren's face, and then he said with a smile.

Obviously, compared with Shanxi, Huguang's living environment is more superior, and Zhao Xin is a person from Huguang, and his roots in Shilin can be said to be in Huguang, so he will naturally stay in Huguang to develop after getting married.

"Then it's Brother Zhang's good words." Old Man Zhao replied after smiling, with a hint of imperceptible helplessness at the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Juren is right, if Zhao Xin and Li Hongyu get married, then the heir will naturally stay in Baihe Town, after all, it is the descendants of the Li family, not the Zhao family.

As Zhao Deyi's father, Old Man Zhao naturally knew about the marriage contract between Zhao Deyi and Li Renhai, and Zhao Deyi told Old Man Zhao as soon as possible, Old Man Zhao was the only person in the Zhao family who knew about this matter except Zhao Deyi.

When the news of Li Renhai's accident reached Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao's mood was as complicated as Zhao Deyi, as soon as Li Renhai died, only orphans and widows were left in the three rooms of the Li family, and they were bound to be suppressed and gradually decayed, he didn't want Zhao Xin to suffer after marrying.

Therefore, Old Man Zhao acquiesced in Zhao Deyi's repentance of marriage, and did not send people to Baihe Town to mourn after learning of Li Renhai's death.

Perhaps because he felt a little guilty about this, Old Man Zhao sent Zhao Deyi to Baihe Town, and wanted Zhao Deyi to find an opportunity to mourn Li Renhai, which could be regarded as ending the friendship between the two.

Obviously, Old Man Zhao will not always hold Zhao Deyi in Baihe Town, and he will definitely be placed elsewhere after the matter of the Fuxiang is settled.

But who thinks that there is a providence in the dark, Zhao Xin not only unexpectedly came together with Li Hongyu, but also was admitted to the Yayuan of the Huguang Township Test, which made the old man Zhao quite emotional, but he was helpless, he could only sigh secretly to make people.
