Chapter 308: Undercurrent (34)

The fact that the Qin Party was supported by old ministers shows that the Qin Party has actually been weak in succession, and there are no particularly capable Shaozhuang officials among the younger generation of Qin Party officials. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info This is a very red flag.

There is a big difference between the Qin Party and the Zhejiang Party, and this difference can also be said to be the disadvantage of the Qin Party and the advantage of the Zhejiang Party.

This difference is that there are very few Jinshi in the Qin Party every time, and due to geographical factors, the Jinshi in Qin are far less than those in the southeast of Zhejiang. At this point, the Qin Party has already lost to the Zhejiang Party.

The base of Zhejiang party officials is large, and the probability of capable officials emerging among the younger generation of Zhejiang party officials is much greater than that of the Qin party. After all, the number of young officials in the Qin Party was far less than that of the Zhejiang Party.

If the Qin Party does not transfuse blood to itself from the outside and create fresh blood, the Qin Party will be at a disadvantage in the future game between the two parties. There is no guarantee that Song Yuren will abandon the Qin Party and trust the Zhejiang Party instead.

After passing through a moon cave door, a small lake as calm as a mirror appeared in front of He Tengxiao and Xu Hongqian. The small lake is very calm, and it is obvious that this is an artificially excavated lake, and there are relatively few natural small lakes in the northern region, and most of them are artificially excavated.

Being able to dig an artificial lake in a place like Jingshi City shows the strong financial resources of the Xu family. The lake is calm, and the water has not been frozen to death due to the warmer weather these days, and there is a thin layer of ice floating on the lake, through which you can see the faint flow of water under the ice surface. The water below this small lake is still alive.

"Every inch of land in Jingshi City is expensive, and this lake of Lord Shoufu is probably worth the property of a thousand ordinary families." He Tengxiao looked at the artificial lake that was calm on the surface and had an undercurrent surging under the thin ice and said, "I don't know what the name of this lake is?" ”

He Tengxiao didn't know which tendon was wrong, and suddenly asked the name of this small lake.

"Mirror Lake." Xu Hongqian said the name of this artificial lake.

Mirror Lake, He Tengxiao muttered the name of this artificial lake, which sounded a little interesting. He Tengxiao looked at this artificial lake carefully, and this artificial lake did look like a mirror.

"Sure enough, the lake lives up to its name." He Tengxiao looked at this lake that really looked like a mirror and said.

"You're not here at the right time." Xu Hongqian said, "Now the lake is frozen, and I can't see anything. When there is no ice, the lake is calm, and the water is so clear that your face can be seen very clearly on the surface of the lake. This is also a strange thing in the old man's house. ”

He Tengxiao first came to Jingshi City, and the center of public opinion in Beijing Shicheng these days is on Peng Chaodong, and few people talk about other things. He Tengxiao didn't care about other things in Jingshi City, and some people didn't have time to care.

"Oh, is it that clear?" He Tengxiao pretended to be surprised, as if he was surprised by this, just like a child thinks something ordinary is magical.

"Really." Xu Hongqian looked very serious, and he didn't understand why He Tengxiao showed such a childish expression.

"Since you can see it so clearly, can you see the white bones at the bottom of the lake, there should be a lot of fish in this lake, right?" He Tengxiao looked very bad.

In another time and space, He Tengxiao saw that in ancient times, many craftsmen who died of exhaustion due to the large amount of work they dug artificial lakes were excavated. In order to save trouble, these powerful people directly sank the corpses of these dead craftsmen to the bottom of the lake. In addition, if the servants of these powerful families do something wrong, the powerful people will also choose to throw them directly into the lake after beating them to death.

If you see a beautiful man-made lake, don't be surprised at it, there are probably white bones beneath the beautiful lake.

"Hahaha." Xu Hongqian reacted, this He Tengxiao is really interesting, ordinary people come to his house, this kind of topic is very evasive, it's too late to avoid these topics, where do you dare to take the initiative to talk about this kind of topic?

He Tengxiao was good, not only did he not shy away from it, but he talked about this topic with Xu Hongqian generously and matter-of-factly.

"The old man thinks that this mirror lake must not mind adding one more corpse to you."

Xu Hongqian also said in a joking tone.

"If Lord Shoufu asks Yun Qi to come to the house, just to feed the fish for Yun Qi, isn't it too troublesome?" He Tengxiao shrugged his shoulders and said.

Xu Hongqian pointed to a pavilion in the center of Mirror Lake and said, "Let's go to that pavilion and talk." ”

Only then did He Tengxiao notice that there was a thin and long corridor by the lake, which led directly to a small pavilion in the center of Mirror Lake.

He Tengxiao nodded and followed Xu Hongqian to the pavilion in the center of Mirror Lake.

There was already a handsome and beautiful maid waiting in the pavilion, surrounded by several stoves, and in the middle of winter, although there was only a thin curtain around the pavilion and the curtain was still raised. But the pavilion was still very warm, so it didn't feel too cold.

He Tengxiao sniffed and smelled the strong aroma of wine in the middle of the pavilion, which turned out to be the beautiful maid warming the wine.

In the end, it is a literati, who has some mood, and chooses to talk in such a place. It's just that He Tengxiao doesn't know that the world is so big that the people who are qualified to accompany Xu Hongqian to the Jinghu Pavilion in the center of Jinghu can be counted on one hand. He Tengxiao is honored to be one of them.

He Tengxiao walked into the Jinghu Pavilion, and when the maid saw the guests coming, she hurriedly took out the cushion and put Xu Hongqian and He Tengxiao on the seat.

The beautiful maid saw He Tengxiao, saw that He Tengxiao was very young, and saw that the age was not much older than him, and the beautiful maid couldn't help but feel a little surprised: who is this person, how young can he be personally summoned by Lord Shoufu, and go to the Jinghu Pavilion. What a courtesy this is, how can this young man be able to accept such a courtesy from Lord Shoufu.

After a few more glances at He Tengxiao, Mei Wan returned to normal and continued to be busy with his own affairs.

After entering the Jinghu Pavilion, Xu Hongqian and He Tengxiao did a good job according to the position of the host and guest. Xu Hongqian sat in the guest seat of Chairman He Tengxiao. The two sat opposite each other.

He Tengxiao looked at this pavilion, different from the extravagance of other places in the Xu Mansion, this pavilion is not extravagant at all, but seems a little quaint, if you use one word to describe this pavilion, the word exquisite may be the most suitable adjective to describe the Jinghu Pavilion.

Jinghu Pavilion is a very special place in Xufu, and it is also the only place in Xufu that is not luxurious. In his spare time, Xu Hongqian likes to sit quietly in the middle of the Mirror Lake Pavilion. Only in the pavilion, Xu Hongqian can find a sense of being hidden in the world. (To be continued.) )
