Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Jingxiang Heroes
Xu Xuan was not born in a wealthy family, and the Xu family in Guangling Haixi will never be called a wealthy family. His father, Xu Shu, was the former general of Duliao.
It sounds very majestic, but in essence, it is the same as General Fuguo, General Huya, General Light Car, General Champion, and General Henghai, and he is a general with three miscellaneous numbers.
Everyone wants to climb up when they go to officialdom, and Xu Xuan is naturally no different.
Some people want fame, some people want profit, and he wants to gain fame and fortune in order to master more political resources.
Empress Dowager Dong is the emperor's own mother, he is not polite to Empress Dowager Dong, he is favored by Emperor Touling, which emperor doesn't want to have such a few lonely ministers under him?
But Liu Hong has a lot of things to do all day long, and it is estimated that he can only think of this person when his mother mentions that he wants to punish Xu Xuan, how can he notice an official with 600 stones on weekdays?
The Xuzhou family is in the same spirit, and communication with each other is naturally indispensable.
According to the news from the Chen family, Zhao Yundang has a great relationship with Zhao Zhong, one of the biggest eunuchs in the dynasty, and now he is the son-in-law of the Xun family, so it is strange not to use it.
Xu Benyi has a lot of secrets on weekdays, and he knows a little about his father-in-law's affairs. layer by layer, he naturally instructed the house to keep an eye on him day and night.
The Ma family in Jingzhou, the head of the family, Ma Bingma Boxiong, has left no traces in history.
However, he has five very famous sons, who appear in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and there is a saying that the Ma family has five constants, and the white eyebrows are the best.
It's a pity that their father has just married a wife at this moment, and Ma Liang's shadow doesn't know where it is.
The Ma family is a pure merchant family, and their ancestral land is Yicheng, Nanjun, and now they have a monopoly on the grain and shipbuilding industries in Gangneung Yicheng.
Of course, in the eyes of the big family, it is to look down on businessmen.
The heads of each generation of the Ma family do not live long, because they have no guidance skills, and they are working hard at all times, calculating their business, so as not to be swallowed up by the great family.
Moreover, not only the Ma family, the Xuzhou Mi family, and the Hebei Zhen family, which family can live a long life? Guy was overworked and died in the prime of life.
Early this morning, he changed into the latest Shu brocade clothes, and he still looked like a businessman with a big belly.
"Ma Qin," Ma Binglin shouted loudly before getting into the carriage: "Someone came to me today, and they said that I was in the Yanzhao Flavor Wave Pavilion, with the sons of the Taishou family and the Kuai family. ”
He knew about the last gathering of the sons of the Jingxiang clan, but he was not qualified.
It's different now, because Zhao Yun's letter to him is on his body, and he can naturally blend into the rich and handsome circle in the name of greeting.
As in the past, every time I do business with everyone, I only face the housekeeper and the like, and even the number of times the big housekeeper meets is only a handful.
He has always had a wish that after his child is born, he will invite the best teacher, even if the family is bankrupt, and it would be better if he were a well-known teacher in the world.
Otherwise, even if the family has a lot of property, in the eyes of the family and in the eyes of the scholars, it is only the same as the status of the peddler and pawn.
The carriage started, and before Ma Qin could reply, he poked his head out again and commanded loudly: "You bring me enough people, we are going to meet Mr. Zhao Zilong!" ”
It is known as a street for the rich, and it is inhabited by wealthy merchants.
Peers are light, peers are jealous, and they are always paying attention to the situation of other homes.
Ma Bing's voice itself was not small, and the two shouts made the little servants guarding each house hurriedly tell the head of the house.
Nima, the son of Taishou, and the Kuai family, these are the soil emperors of Nanjun.
Although they are all families of merchants, Zhao Yun's name was spread to Jiangling in the early years, and Yunti became a must-learn for all sons.
The rich are like crazy, looking for connections everywhere and wanting to enter the circle.
The Wave Pavilion is the largest box in Jingzhou Yanzhao flavor, on the far left of the fourth floor, close to the river water, open the window, the rolling water beats the waves and goes east.
Looking at the four-story building in front of him, Ma Bing's face was full of excitement. The Wave Pavilion has also spent a lot of money and the housekeepers of the big family have spent money in it.
When he arrived at the door of the hotel, he smiled brightly, took out Zhao Yun's letter, and the smiles on the faces of the guys were even worse, and he respectfully led the way to the fourth floor and delivered it to the door.
Seeing that there are his own buddies to send them off, the waitress at the door of the private room will not stop him.
As soon as he stepped into the private room, the handsome people who were talking were silent, staring at the accidental intruder.
"Hello everyone!" Ma Bing's slightly chubby face was full of redness: "Mr. Zilong once wrote a letter to Zaixia, and made an appointment to come to Jingzhou to discuss important matters. ”
He had never put the letter in his hand all along.
The letter was quickly handed to the eldest Pang Qilong, who frowned slightly and looked at it carefully.
"Brother Boxiong, my brother will come to Jingzhou in the near future, I have important matters to discuss, and I look forward to meeting my brother in Jiangling."
The handwriting is very short, but even Pang Qilong has never seen Zhao Yun's handwriting, let alone others.
"Boxiong, huh?" Huang Chengyan also read the letter, and he didn't think that a businessman would dare to lie to the Jingxiang clan.
Besides, the main lord Zhao Yun is coming soon, if there is a fake, how can he have a foothold in Jingzhou in the future?
"Exactly!" Ma Bing's breathing became rapid and uncontrollably.
"You came just in time," Pang Qilong also reacted: "Yesterday, before yesterday, Zilong Xiandi passed through the county, all of them were horse teams, one person and two horses, and they should be able to arrive at noon today." ”
"Mr. Xie Zhengjing!" Ma Bing was overjoyed, took a deep look, and found a position on the side to sit down.
Over there, Pang Qilong's group didn't pay attention to him and continued the topic just now.
"Brother Zhengzhi said this, Jun didn't dare to agree!" This son is Xi Jun, the eldest son of the Xi family, Xi Shaotang: "Qin also has a precedent of killing good generals. ”
He arched his hand around him: "Killing God Bai Qi, in the first battle of Changping, he killed 400,000 elite soldiers of Zhao State, his contribution is not small." But as soon as he turned around, King Zhaoxiang actually gave him self-killing. ”
"Rabbit dead dog cooking, at that time, the Qin State had not yet dominated the world, and it didn't seem to have caused much damage to the national strength of the Qin State."
"What about what Brother Xian means?" Everyone was pondering, and Huang Chengyan was also interested: "What you said is very reasonable, the famous ministers of the Qin State, few of them have a good end." ”
"In Jun's opinion, it's horses!" Xi Jun's words shocked the entire box.
He generously stated: "The northerners are good at horses, and the southerners are good at boats." But we can't always live on the water all the time, and on land, cavalry is the fastest and most powerful way to attack. ”
"Young cousin, this is wrong!" Kuai Yue shook his head: "Li Mu and Lian Po of Zhao have been fighting against the Xiongnu for a long time, and there are not a few cavalry. ”
"That's it!" Cai Mao was not to be outdone: "Even the Yan Kingdom in a remote corner has a large number of cavalry, why did the Zhao Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom be destroyed in the end?" ”
It is said that the Jingxiang clan is a good family, and they have been related to each other for generations.
There is no first and no second, and when arguing, no one gives in.
There was silence in the room.
Zhao Yun and his entourage finally arrived at the north gate of Jiangling City.
