At noon, the sun rises to the highest point, and the rolling red sun sprinkles thousands of golden rays, which makes people warm both physically and mentally.

In the yamen of the Wei State Mansion, Xu Bangrui, the Duke of Wei who listened to Xu Liu's story about Fan Jin's majesty, smiled and couldn't help nodding.

"It's a good Fan to think about it, but there are some Taoism, and it's no wonder that a Guangdong barbarian can make Jiangling East Bed. This time, thanks to his secret guidance, our family's business facades were not destroyed by Ah Bi, and the troops were dispatched in time, which made people unable to catch the pain. At present, the entire Jiangning officialdom is looking for someone to blame for it, and our family can stay out of the matter, and it is indispensable to miss his benefits. This time Jiangning County is going to be unlucky, in the past, Jiangning pressed Shangyuan, and now there is such a big mess, Jiangning County's yarn hat is afraid that it will not be able to wear it firmly, and it will not be long before it should be handed over. There is no high mountain and no flat land, Shangyuan and Jiangning are separated by a water, and here are just a few gentry who were killed, and they were quickly pacified before becoming a major disaster. Here in Jiangning County, every family has been in trouble, and everyone has suffered, only our family has been prepared and has not been killed. Compared with these two, Jiangning County couldn't eat and walked around, so he had to admit that he was unlucky. ”

The Duchess Mu on the side glanced at her husband, "Don't be a fool of yourself, where did you come from?" Is it a kiss or a Gengti? What you haven't done before, how can you be the son-in-law of the Zhang family, the sixth child, do you say that your father is a fool? ”

Xu Liu shook his head innocently and said: "Daddy is right, Sister Zhang and brother-in-law will be husband and wife sooner or later, if it weren't for the current mourning, I'm afraid that I would have already started to talk about marriage." This matter is tacitly understood, and it is right to call a son-in-law. ”

Mu Shi looked at this poor girl and wanted to cry without tears, angry and unbearable, so he had to muttered in his heart: This nest looks like a mother-in-law, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later. Now is the time to rob a man, you first admit that he is the Zhang family, how can my mother help you rob?

Xu Weizhi didn't care about this, just foaming at the mouth and talking about Fan Jin's majesty. "I really didn't expect that he was so bold to retreat, and he would dare to do something to Feng Bangning. To be honest, even I didn't dare to do this kind of thing, he was good, he slapped Feng Bangning all over the face, although the injury was not too serious, but he looked embarrassed. Then he was beaten on the spot in the public court, and asked the victim's family to come to the yamen in private to receive gold and silver compensation. To be honest, but with the big and small yamen in Jiangning, I am afraid that there is only one Fan Jin who is brave enough to do this. ”

Xu Liu also said: "Yes, my brother-in-law is so majestic, as soon as he gave an order, those officials dragged Feng Bangning down, lifted the bamboo board and beat him." The fight crackled, Feng Bangning screamed and howled, and the people below knelt there and shouted Fan Qingtian, Lord Qingtian. It sounds better than any other song. ”

The excited and somewhat shy girl, who changed her habit of few words on weekdays, introduced her mouth like a river, her face was flushed, and her two apricot eyes were radiant, she herself did not realize how different today was from the past.

Wei Guogong and his wife secretly exchanged a look, as a person who came over, how could they not understand what a woman had such emotions for. Mrs. Mu coughed, "You don't have to praise him, that board is just a trick to fool people, lend those officials a few guts, and don't dare to break Feng Bao's own nephew." The board was beaten loudly, and there was no damage to the people, which was a common method in the yamen, and it was just to fool some ignorant people. Fish for fame and reputation! ”

Xu Liu hurriedly said: "No! My brother-in-law said that I didn't beat him to the ...... That's it. In order to beat his face, he was beaten in Shangyuan County, and what face will be rampant and domineering on Jiangning Street in the future, although this board will not hurt people, but it can beat this demon king out of Jiangning, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. The brother-in-law is not to let the people call him Lord Qingtian, just to let the people lose their anger. As long as the grievances of the people can be vented, they will not think of rebellion. If those Ah Bi's anger had been released, it wouldn't have been like this time. The slave rebellion has subsided, and the civil rebellion must not happen, so my brother-in-law wants to use Feng Bangning as an example to relieve the hatred of the people of Jiangning! ”

The girl unconsciously followed Fan Jin's appearance, and Xu Weizhi couldn't help laughing. Mu Shi glared at him, and Xu Bangrui smacked his taste, "Fan Jin has a way to say this, now the whole Jiangning is thinking about arresting people and finding responsibility, but no one thinks about relieving the gentry and venting anger to the people." These sub-officials, it's not as good as a junior to see far, it's a shame to throw them home! It seems that in the next few years, this Shangyuan County will press Jiangning County. Weizhi, don't just giggle here, go to the Yamen to discuss with Huisi, and move our family's business in Jiangning County to Shangyuan. If what I expected is not bad, except for those of us who can't move the place casually, the rich families in Jiangning will move to Shangyuan. In the next few years, Shangyuan will be the feng shui treasure of Jiangning, and it will be a good place to move the business as soon as possible, and there will be no loss. ”

Xu Liudao: "Big brother, let's go later, now my brother-in-law doesn't have time to see him." Almost all the gentry of Shangyuan came to pay a post, and the brother-in-law couldn't entertain. If my mother hadn't called me, I would have to help my brother-in-law entertain the gentry over there, and I wouldn't have time to come back. ”

Mu snorted, "He is such a sesame official, let my baby girl so much for him, but I'm not afraid of losing my life!" It is said that he should come to our house to kowtow, but the county does not go out of the city, and our family is in Jiangning County, and it will ...... in the future It's still a nuisance. Think about it, my family is in Shangyuan, I remember that there are a few other courtyards, he doesn't move me, you go with me, old thing, let that kid come to meet him, I have something to ask him. ”

Xu Liu didn't understand what his mother meant, what did his brother-in-law have to do with his family in Shangyuan, and how could it be troublesome. It was only the mother who was angry about her uncle's affairs, and hurriedly told her mother not to embarrass her brother-in-law. Xu Bangrui was a little embarrassed there, "This ...... It's not good, Zhang Jiangling is not easy to mess with......"

In the Ya of Shangyuan County, Feng Bangning was subjected to 80 boards, and was sent to the Jinyi Yamen of Jiangning by the Yamen of the Yamen of Jiangning, and handed over to the Jinyi Guards for disposal. He himself is a brocade official, and the local yamen is not qualified to deal with it, and playing the eighty boards is already counted as a substitute for the deputy, and it is impossible to have more punishments.

In fact, the people who complained also knew in their hearts that it was impossible for such a big man to really pay for his life or go to prison. All that is required is to vent, not to have to hit the ground. What's more, Fan Jin's previous arrangement also made the people feel that this was their own person, and they couldn't let such a Qingtian lord be difficult to behave, so he beat Feng Bangning in the court, and got gold and silver compensation, so he stopped crying.

The bitter masters all resigned themselves to their fate, and the others had nothing to say. The people kowtowed to thank Qingtian and then left, thousands of people gathered in the county government, and in the end, no one was injured, no house was burned, and the official army was not alarmed.

In the inner house, Fan Jin took Zheng Chan's hand and took a walk in the back garden. At this time, although it was not time to rest, Fan Jin had just done such a glorious thing, and he didn't feel a burden when he occasionally touched fish. He was mainly worried that Zheng Chan's demands would be too harsh and he would not be able to meet them, so he came over to appease him. didn't want Zheng Chan to be far more reasonable than he imagined, and he didn't mean to have Feng Bangning pay the price, but leaned on Fan Jin's shoulder to enjoy the warmth of this moment, and Yu Feng Bangning's disposal didn't care.

There are noble ladies such as Li Cailian in the Beijing Division, and Zheng Chan does not dare to fight with each other for ten lives. thought that she could be favored alone when she arrived in Jiangnan, but she didn't want Song Jin and Ma Xianglan to appear again, and Xu Liuhu was eyeing her on the side, and she once felt like an abandoned woman in her heart. But when he saw Fan Jin boxing Feng Bangning first, and playing the board in the back of the hall, the awkwardness in his heart had long disappeared, and all that was left was infatuation. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, a man who dared to work with Feng Bao's nephew for the sake of a bed-warming cook, I am afraid that he will never be able to find it again, what is there to be dissatisfied with such a man?

She couldn't bear to ask anything more from this man, just snuggling up to him was enough. The two laughed and laughed, like a pair of lovers in love, as for Feng Bangning, Zheng Chan didn't care for a long time.

At this moment, at the corner gate of the garden, a figure dressed in heavy filial piety appeared, looked at the two of them, showed a smile on their faces, glanced at Zheng Chan with disdain, and then coughed.

"Oh, it's really unfortunate that I'm here, it's a good thing to ruin Sister Chan, and I should fight. But I can't help it, the people in front of me are in a hurry, and I want to see the big man to talk about business. There are also those Yi people, waiting for the slaves and maids to talk about silk and satin. Slaves and maids can't be masters of these things, and they have to be the master to come forward. Why don't I tell them to wait a little longer, in half an hour? ”

Zheng Chan wondered, "You haven't left yet?" There was a funeral in your family, and yesterday the slave mutiny and the death of someone, and now it is the time when you, the lady in charge, have to preside over the overall situation at home, why did you run to the backyard in your spare time? ”

That heavy filial piety is naturally the Song family, she and Zheng Chan originally had a good relationship, but last night when the two served Fan Jin they competed with each other, Song's means are better than Zheng Chan's, and they are resistant to fighting for a long time, and they share more benefits, and the friendship between the two is not as good as it was at the beginning.

Hearing Zheng Chan's words, Song Jin said unhurriedly: "It is said that I have to go home to preside over the situation, there are so many things inside and out, I have to deal with problems if I can't manage it, I am born to work hard, I can't compare to the good luck of the Zheng family's sisters, as long as I am busy in the kitchen, I don't have to worry about anything else." But the family is in a hurry, and the eldest lord is also in a hurry here, there are only some officials in the yamen, and there are no second officials, and they are not good at entertaining these officials. It's the woman who can support the white agarwood or something, but the dignified county yamen, with a woman from the courtyard to entertain guests, what will it look like when it goes out? I had no choice but to go into battle on my own and perfunctory them for the eldest master. When Sister Chan and the eldest man were enjoying the flowers and walking, I was busy but my feet were not dusty, if I really couldn't help it, I wouldn't dare to disturb it. ”

Fan Jin said: "Let those people wait, it's not too late for me to go later." It's not nice to talk to them about things on weekdays, but now I want to see me and wait for me! You go home first, and I'll arrange for someone to bring the money over later." To hold a funeral, you must have face to put on a show, and silver is the foundation. With silver taels in his hand, his voice should be a little louder! ”

"When it comes to face, it's best for the eldest master to go to the house. Now you can go to Jiangning, who doesn't know that the eldest lord is Fan Qingtian, the white bread prince, and today there are still people who call you a small pen holder, and the eldest lord walks around the house, and the Yang family has brilliance. Whether those people want to talk about business, or if they want to buy silk, they can all be discussed at the Yang family. The concubine cooked a few Yangzhou dishes for the eldest lord, and asked the eldest lord to ...... Taste. ”

"Then do it, you go back, I'll talk to those outsiders, go to Yang's house to condole, and talk about things clearly by the way."

Sending the Song family away, Fan Jin said to Zheng Chan: "Now is a rare good time, there are a lot of businesses to do, tell me which one you want to do, and I will pay you the capital." ”

"No, Sister Song is a good businessman and can make money for the family, I just need to be a good cook, serve the good master, cook well for the master, and serve the good master. The head of the family has wanted to make a difference since he arrived in Jiangning, and now he finally has the time, it is time to show his strength, and he can't miss a big thing for me. ”

"Now, you are my big business, those gentry, let them go, don't bother to pay attention to them. There is no future. ”

Zheng Chan smiled gently, "I am naturally happy when the family loves me." But men have to do big things, and women don't have to pull back their legs. The head of the house is still ready to eat Yangzhou food, and the concubine will not leave you the door tonight. Wait for Ming, the concubine will give you a roasted pig's head to make up for your body. ”

There are few people in the world who can become rich people who are completely stupid. Through this slavery change, everyone can see very clearly that the big businessmen who are close to Fan Jin have not suffered at home. Either there are fast catchers or there are officers and soldiers nearby, and some have a dart master guarding the phoenix dart line at home, and they are safe and sound. Those who do not support the work of the county order, or who are alienated, are suffering.

Looking at the chaos in Jiangning, everyone's hearts are like mirrors, this is a strong and powerful county commander, and more importantly, there is a strong backer behind him. If you want business to get better and better in the future, you must have a good relationship with the county yamen. Otherwise, even if there is no slavery, the commercial discrimination alone is enough to make your business difficult.

It was an invitation made by Fan Jin, and no one dared to refuse. The Yang family, who thought it was doomed to bankruptcy, was once again full of cars, and the rich gentry of the entire county gathered in the Yang family. When it was evening, the gentry and wealthy businessmen of Jiangning County also rushed to Yang's house to offer condolences, and then the people in the officialdom also came. For the Shang Jia's family, this is already a special honor.

The Song family was like a fish in water on this occasion, although his footsteps did not stop for a moment, and he ordered his subordinates to command the servants to speak dryly, but he was not tired, and his eyebrows were full of inexplicable excitement. For this face-loving woman, this kind of funeral is what she wants, so that she can be regarded as having face.

Looking at the representatives sent by the government, a bold idea popped up in her mind, to continue to maintain this kind of physical and interest cooperation with Fan Jin, one day, will the powerful Jiangling Prime Minister send someone to socialize with his family? His brother has some dealings with Zhang Jiangling's dead Lao Tzu, if he can get to that point, this life will not be in vain!

Originally, her relationship with Fan Jin was forced to be helpless, but later it was physical satisfaction. At this time, in addition to these two, the woman saw a brighter future, and she knew very well in her heart that the physical ties were only temporary, but the interests were for a lifetime. If you really want to cling to Zhang Juzheng's line, the relationship between himself and Fan Jin will be inseparable because of this expectation of interests, and he is destined to be firmly controlled.

As soon as I thought of this, I inevitably felt guilty about my husband and the entire Yang family. But then I thought that the Yang family would probably not be able to escape bankruptcy this time: if they could live this time, it would also be the benefit of their relationship with Fan Jin, and the so-called guilt disappeared.
