Chapter 72 Professionals
(Thanks to the book friend "Tears Falling Red Dust 5, **22" for the reward!) )
Cuiyun Building, the first building of the Daimyo Mansion, although it is not as good as the Fan Tower in Tokyo, it is also a first-class place in this Hebei region. [
Speaking of which, this Cuiyun Building is still the property of the Lu family on the surface, but there are still a few dry shares in the secret, except for Lu Junyi himself, I am afraid that no one knows about it.
"Sure enough, it is the first floor of the Daimyo's Mansion, it is indeed extraordinary, Lu Yuanwai is worthy of being the first wealthy man of the Daimyo's Mansion, it is really magnificent!"
For the character of Yan Qing, I am afraid that anyone who has read "Water Margin" will not like it, and Ximen Qing will not like it. It's a pity that this person is loyal to Lu Junyi, and Ximen Qing knows that he can't accept him under his command, but Lu Junyi is raised more between words, which can be regarded as an indirect friendship with this "prodigal son".
"The Ximen official is a superb person who has been to Tokyo and visited Fan Tower, which is really ridiculous!"
Yan Qing said politely, and invited Ximen Qing to go upstairs, and the rest of the Ma brothers and Shi Xiu Jiaoting also followed, but they didn't want to just go up to the staircase on the second floor, and someone leaned out at the railing on the third floor, and shouted to Yan Qing downstairs: "Brother Yan, it's a good coincidence!" ”
Ximen Qing followed the sound and looked up, only to see a man in his twenty-five or six, with a solemn face, holding on to the railing with both hands, waving to Yan Qing beside him.
"Daguan, that is Xiao Yi's close friend, surnamed Xu Guanzhong, Zhenghe went to Beijing to take the martial arts exam in the early years, won the championship in one fell swoop, and is a genius with both civil and military skills!"
Ximenqing didn't think that there was really a character like Xu Guanzhong, so he couldn't help asking: "Does he still have an old mother at home?" ”
"How do the big officials know so carefully, haven't they had a relationship before?"
That's it!
There is no such person in the 100 editions of "Water Margin" that have been handed down to later generations, but in the 120 editions that are said to have been continued by Luo Guanzhong, there is this strange person who is highly respected by Lu Junyi and Yan Qing. Many people who studied "Water Margin" in later generations said that the word "Guanzhong" is very similar to Luo Guanzhong's name, which is the homonym of "Void Guanzhong", which is the meaning of the author's appearance.
In any case, this is a confused account, and Ximenqing has no interest in exploring it, but Xu Guanzhong appeared in front of his eyes in person, and everything was concluded.
"It's just that I heard the old people in Beijing mention that they have been friends for a long time, but it's a pity that they didn't have a chance to meet!"
"Then isn't there fate today, if the big officials are interested, wait for Xiao Yi to go up and say hello, if my brother is okay today, then everyone will get together!"
Seeing that Ximen Qing values his brother very much, Yan Qing is also happy in his heart, but he knows Xu Guanzhong's temper, he is a person who is round on the outside and square on the inside, he is modest and polite on the outside, but he is arrogant on the inside, and idle characters are not in his eyes. Therefore, there is still three points of leeway in the words, so as not to have disharmony in the future, but it will lose Ximenqing's face.
Yan Qing called a clever junior second, and after a few words, he confessed to Ximen Qing again, and then walked up to the third floor, and Xu Guanzhong was also waiting at the staircase, and when he saw Yan Qing coming up, he chatted a few words very enthusiastically.
Ximenqing and his party were led up the stairs on the other side by the shopkeeper, and finally entered a box on the third floor. In just a moment, the delicacies of water and land, delicacies and wine were all brought up, and it was obvious that Yan Qing had made arrangements before. There are also two delicate female dancers on the side, plucking the strings and stroking the piano.
"Ma Wei Ma Jin, you entertain the two brothers of Shixiu and Jiao Ting, I'll go over and take a look!"
I have never entered such a grand restaurant, and I am covered in coarse cloth clothes in the market, which is very incompatible with the surrounding environment, Shi Xiu and Jiao Ting can't help but be a little restrained at this time.
Ximen Qing also knew that he was here, and he was afraid that these two would not be able to eat steadily, but they would be greeted by the Ma brothers, who were also from the green forest, which made it easier for Shi Xiu and the two to let go of their arms. On the other hand, for that Xu Guanzhong, although Ximenqing has no intention of soliciting now, he also has some curiosity in his heart. Seeing that Yan Qing had not returned for some time, waiting for someone to come to the door, it was better to go over in person, and he could also show his sincerity.
Out of the box, bypassing a verandah, before reaching Xu Guanzhong's box, he heard a quarrel inside, stopped to listen for a moment, but there were two people fighting for a strange thing. Because of the separation of a door, Ximen Qing only heard a few vague paragraphs, and the two people who were competing seemed to be well-read and memorized, and they were all quoted from the scriptures, and Ximen Qing was really confused.
"Great official!"
Just as Ximenqing was about to step forward and knock on the door, Yan Qing inside opened the door and walked out, but the two of them were facing each other, "It makes the big officials laugh, my brother Xu is also a Confucian, Taoist and legal soldier, and is good at astronomy and geography, all kinds of miscellaneous studies, but only one point is a headache, everything is easy to get to the bottom of things, and when you encounter something you don't know, you will never give up if you don't clarify the reasons." ”
"What's the matter?"
Later generations, because of the Internet, naturally far surpassed the ancients in terms of the breadth of knowledge. Ximenqing is also curious, who is Xu Guanzhong arguing with, and what is the issue of arguing, maybe he can know a scale.
"I can't tell you clearly for a while, if the big officials are interested, you might as well go inside and talk about it together!"
Yan Qing took half a step back and let go of the door, and Ximenqing stepped in, only to see a man in his early thirties sitting opposite Xu Guanzhong, with a broad face and a dark complexion. Looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like a person who can make friends with characters like Xu Guanzhong, but more like a rural farmer who works in the fields all day long.
The red-faced and red-eared people who were originally arguing in the room couldn't help but stop their lips and tongues when they saw Yan Qing leading another person in, and their eyes turned to Ximen Qing, who came in last.
Introduced by Yan Qingjuzhong, Ximen Qing learned that this black-faced man's name was Ye Chun, who was from Sizhou, and traveled between the north and south waterways to do some small business. If this was the case, Ye Chun would not be able to be valued by Xu Guanzhong and Yan Qing. It's just that this Ye Chun is very good at building boats, and in recent years, he has spent a lot of thought to design a new type of boat, which can travel far without sail oars.
Xu Guanzhong didn't believe it after hearing it today, and the two had the fierce debate before.
It turns out that this Ye Chun is the designer of the loach boat in the book "Water Margin", which is a professional talent that is urgently needed in his own family at the moment. When it comes to the ability to build ships, this one is much more powerful than the "jade banner pole". The latter is just the level of building and transporting civilian ships such as "Huashi Gang", and in later generations, he can be regarded as a skilled veteran worker or supervisor at most. But Ye Chun is a bull who can break through the tradition and design a new type of warship, and it is clear which is higher and which is lower between the two.
The yamen of the logistics office is set up in Dengzhou, but it has other plans, even if the person in front of him is tied, he has to be taken to Dengzhou!
At this moment, this Ye Chun was still arguing fiercely with Xu Guanzhong, but he didn't know that the Ximen official sitting next to him had already begun to move his crooked brains and wanted to calculate him into his own pocket.
