"Uncle, why don't you take a look at this gift list first?" Wang Fu said with a grin.

Now Wang Jin is Tao Zhongwen, is the most favored Taoist priest in front of Jiajing, he usually considers himself a real person, his eyes are too high, and ordinary dignitaries and nobles are not in his eyes, and over time, he has developed a momentum of a superior person.

When Wang Jin is angry, ordinary people will definitely become submissive and pale, but Wang Fu is an exception, because he is Wang Jin's own nephew, and only he dares to be indifferent when Wang Jin is angry.

Hearing his nephew say this, Wang Jin stretched out his hand and took Wang Fu and handed over the gift list.

As soon as he opened the gift list, Wang Jin, who was well-informed, couldn't help but light up, only to see that it read:

a pair of thirteen-year-old best sisters;

two coral jade ruyi branches of one foot three;

Ten taels of gold ingots and one hundred ingots.

The gift list is not long, but each of them is enough to make people tempted, especially the last one, a hundred gold ingots, that is, a thousand taels of gold, even Wang Jin has to be tempted.

No wonder the nephew was so anxious, he rushed to this generous gift, and the rudeness just now could be ignored.

Putting down the gift list in his hand, Wang Jin was silent for a moment, and asked, "Ah Fu, who is here?" ”

It's okay not to go to the Three Treasures Palace, to be able to give such a heavy gift, there must be a lot of pictures, although Wang Jin is greedy for money, but he also knows that some money can be collected, and some money cannot be collected, in his position, if he is not careful, it will be broken.

"Uncle, I've heard about this" Wang Fu whispered: "That person's identity is only said when he sees you, and he also said that after you see him, I promise that I will not regret it." ”

No regrets guaranteed?

This was really confident, and Wang Jin groaned for a moment. His eyes swept over the gift list on the table, and finally said lightly

"Let's meet. ”

Wang Fu was overjoyed, and immediately said, "Uncle, I'll go and prepare." ”

In any case, take this generous gift first, and then talk about it, as a reporter. Wang Fu also received a generous fee for running feet.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be so diligent.

Soon, a middle-aged man of medium stature, thin face, and beard walked in.

"Hey, this, isn't this Zhang Daoyou?" Wang Jinyi, who was originally sitting upright, saw this person, paused for a moment, immediately stood up, and said happily: "I don't know what kind of wind blows your half-immortal here." ”

Brother Zhang? Half-immortal?

Wang Fu, who was standing on the side, was taken aback. I didn't expect this person to be an old acquaintance of his uncle, and it seems that the friendship is still very good, the strange thing is that it is obviously an old acquaintance, how to get into the door, in order to let himself run his feet, he also gave a piece of fifty taels of silver.

Isn't that looking for something to do?

In fact, not only Wang Fu was surprised. Even Wang Jin was surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Bao to be here.

Zhang Bao originally lived in Qingfeng Temple. Known as Qingfeng Dao people, the face is very accurate, there is the title of Zhang Banxian, when Wang Jin traveled around, he had been to Qingfeng Temple to borrow, when he was sick and penniless. Fortunately, Zhang Bao took him in and took care of him, and it can be said that he received Zhang Bao's great kindness.

Seeing Zhang Bao appear, how could Wang Jin put up a shelf again?

"Wang Daoyou, let's be okay with the other" Zhang Bao laughed and said: "Could it be that Wang Daoyou is flying Huang Tengda, don't you look at us old people?" ”

"Don't dare. Don't dare" Wang Jin immediately said: "Zhang Daoyou, what are these words? If you hadn't taken it in back then, how could there be Wang today, you are slapping me in the face. ”

Zhang Bao said with a smile: "Wang Daoyou doesn't have to be serious, it was just a joke just now." ”

"It's a joke too?" Wang Jin pointed to the gift list, frowned and said, "Zhang Daoyou, between you and me, still use these false gifts?" ”

can go from a little Taoist priest to the number one "immortal master" around Jiajing, Wang Jin naturally has his way of life and excellence, although the gift list is rich, but with Wang Jin's current status, it is not very visible.

"Wang Daoyou don't have to be polite, this is just entrusted by others, it can be said that borrowing flowers to worship the Buddha, being generous to others, not accepting nothing, those things will be said later, now let's talk about the old days first." Zhang Bao said with a smile.

"Okay, let's catch up on the old days." Wang Jin laughed, but did not refute.

After the two sat down, their own maidservants offered fragrant tea and pastries for Wang Jin and Zhang Bao to enjoy.

Needless to say, Wang Jin's current situation is needless to say, he is suspended in the Ministry of Rites, serving Jiajing, as for Zhang Bao's recent situation, his attitude is a little vague, roughly that Qingfeng Guan has been handed over to his disciples, and he works for a noble person who appreciates him.

After chatting for half an hour, Wang Jin finally couldn't help asking: "Zhang Daochang, you came to the door this time, I don't know if Wang has any place to help you?" ”

Zhang Bao smiled slightly: "I am also entrusted by others, and I want to discuss something with Wang Daoyou." ”

"By whom?" Wang Jin immediately grasped the main point and got to the bottom of it.

Zhang Bao didn't speak, and pointed to the south.

"Nanjing?"

"That's right" Zhang Bao nodded and said, "Entrusted by the one in Nanjing, I want Wang Daoyou to do something that benefits himself and his friends." ”

Wang Jin looked at Zhang Bao with some caution, and then said softly: "Please also ask Zhang Daoyou to tell me, how to benefit others and yourself?" ”

The current Wang Jin is no longer the down-and-out little Taoist priest of the past, and he finally reached his current position, which makes him more cautious, which is related to the struggle of the upper echelons, and sometimes a small decision can become a lifelong mistake.

The relationship is good, but in the face of interests, it still becomes no longer important.

Favors belong to favors, and the number should be clear.

Zhang Bao smiled, looked left and right, and smiled silently.

Wang Jin knew that this matter was not trivial, and he didn't dare to hold it up, so he waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat, including his nephew Wang Fu, who was also driven out with the excuse of guarding the outside.

"Zhang Daoyou, what's the matter, now I have to say it."

"Wang Daoyou, what do you look at here?" Zhang Bao did not speak, but took out something wrapped in silk.

As soon as he opened the silk, Wang Jin's eyes lit up, he picked up the bowl-shaped object with one hand, and responded with a smile: "Hehe, this is not difficult for me, this is the new glass ornament launched by Taisheng Commercial Bank." Yes, this bowl is very chic. ”

For people from other places, they may not have heard of it for a while, but the people in the capital are like thunder, and Taisheng Commercial Bank caused a sensation as soon as it was launched. Wang Jin, as a hot figure in the capital, was sent two sets of glass ornaments that day, so he could see it at a glance.

"No," Zhang Bao said with a straight face: "This is a golden mountain." ”

Wang Jinleng paused for a moment, but soon came to his senses, nodded and said, "That's right, this is indeed a golden mountain." ”

Judging from the popularity on the day of release, it is easy for these glass ornaments to make money, and they are obviously rare treasures. But the price is only a dozen or two, which is enough to make people crazy.

It's a rare boutique, but the price is surprisingly cheap, needless to say, the profit behind it must be amazing.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mountain of gold.

Zhang Bao said ambiguously: "This is a tempting gold mountain, Wang Daoyou doesn't have any ideas?" ”

Wang Jin shook his head and said, "The meat is good, but there are bones in this meat." If you're not careful, it's not good if you can't eat the meat and let the bones get stuck in your neck. ”

Let's talk about it. After hesitating for a moment, looking at the old feelings, Wang Jin reminded Zhang Bao and said: "Zhang Daoyou, although I still don't understand which one you are entrusted with, but I advise you not to get involved in this matter, this trip is too deep." On the surface, this glass ornament is sold by Taisheng Commercial Bank, but the supply is all in a place called the outlying island. ”

"As far as I know, this outlying island is owned by a small school named Yu Jin, don't look at this guy's small rank, but the background is terrifyingly hard. There is a fellow villager who is the imperial history of Zuodu, behind him is Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, he is a hereditary prince, deeply trusted by the emperor, and now he also serves as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and this outlying island is the land under the name of Zhu Guogong, it is obvious that he has a part, and it is said that there is also the participation of King Yu here. ”

Wang Jin patted Zhang Bao on the shoulder and said, "Zhang Daoyou, you'd better see the situation clearly, if you accidentally stab the hornet's nest, don't know how to die." ”

King Yu, Cheng Guogong and Zuodu Yushi, each of them is a big man, and these four people together are definitely an extremely terrifying force.

Zhang Bao was not intimidated by these big shots, but said very calmly: "Wang Daoyou really has great powers, and he knows so many secrets. ”

It turns out that he knows, not ignorance and is being taken advantage of.

Wang Jin thought that his old friend was being used, and said in surprise when he heard this: "Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, why bother to be bored?" ”

Zhang Bao did not answer his question directly, but changed the topic and asked, "Wang Daoyou, what do you think of the current situation?" ”

"Well, it's not bad." Wang Jin said with a smile.

There was also a bit of satisfaction and pride in the tone.

Since Tao Zhongwen's death, Wang Jin has stood out from a group of Taoist priests and become the most favored Taoist priest in front of Jiajing.

Although Wang Jin's Taoism and methods are not as good as Shao Yuanjie and Tao Zhongwen, Jiajing is no longer the extremely smart emperor of the past.

Wang Jin felt that he had already figured out the context of Jiajing, as long as he prescribed the right medicine, he would be prosperous and prosperous, and he would be able to get it at his fingertips.

Zhang Bao echoed: "That's right, Wang Daoyou is out of the box today, the emperor has a lot of trust in you, I heard that he is also going to give Wang Daoyou a promotion and a knighthood, and the opening of the government is just around the corner, but"

"But what?" Wang Jin heard what Zhang Bao said, and hurriedly asked.

"There are no outsiders here, so the old way is straight to the point."

"Zhang Daoyou, please speak up."

Zhang Bao lowered his voice and said: "Flowers are not red for 100 days, people are good for 100 days, Wang Daoyou is now rich and glorious, all of which are based on the current emperor, as long as the emperor is alive and protected, Daoyou is not afraid of any wind and rain, but once the emperor dies, Daoyou has thought about what to do?" You know, the emperor is very old, and the dragon is sick, this is probably better than everyone else, right? ”

Jiajing is a good woman by nature, he has been in power for decades, and there are more than 60 concubines who have been titled, all of whom say that color is a steel knife that scrapes bones, and his body has long been hollowed out by women, coupled with excessive consumption of pills, and now his physical condition is getting worse and worse.

To describe it in four words, it is about to die.

Saying that thousands of years of immortality, longevity without borders, and feathering and ascending to immortals are okay to coax others, Shao Yuanjie and Tao Zhongwen's Taoism are so profound, in the end, they are still invincible to time.

It's all your own people, and you don't need to make it too clear.

Zhang Bao's words gave Wang Jin a slap in the face: Yes, his glory and wealth all come from Jiajing, if Jiajing returns to heaven, once he is a son of heaven and a courtier, what will he do?

Seeing Wang Jin's suddenly changing face, Zhang Bao added oil and vinegar to the side: "The next emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the aunt who sells vegetables on the street, and everyone knows that he is King Yu, because he is now the only descendant of the emperor, that is, the emperor does not like to withdraw, and the subjects will not agree. ”

The more Wang Jin listened, the paler his face became, and when he heard the end, the cold sweat came out.

"Zhang Daoyou, do you have any good methods?" Wang Jin wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said.

"Hehe, the road has been pointed out, it depends on how Wang Daoyou chooses."

Just now, I wanted to find a way to take down the outlying islands and get the secret recipe for the glass jewelry, if I wanted to deal with a mere Jiupin elementary school book, Wang Jin agreed without hesitation, the problem is that this also involves Zuodu Yushi, Chengguo Gong Zhu Xizhong and King Yu, and the thought of facing these big people is terrifying to think about.

The problem is that if you don't fight, you will die, and if you fight, you may have some life.

Obviously, in the current situation, even if King Yu did not settle old accounts with himself, then those characters who lobbied him this time would not let him go.

If you don't have Jiajing's protection, you are a little ant yourself, and others can press yourself to death with a finger.

Like Shao Yuanjie and Tao Zhongwen, they caught up with the good times, they didn't have their own concerns, and they also had time to establish their own connections and friendships, unlike themselves, who had just improved a little, and before they had time to establish their own connections, Jiajing couldn't resist.

That is, born in the emperor's family, those heavenly treasures are used regardless of the cost, which prolongs the vitality, if it were replaced by ordinary people, it would have been settled in the earth long ago.

Left and right is a death, it's better to fight.

Wang Jin looked at his house full of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, decorated with gold, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang Daoyou, this matter is not easy to handle, if I am not careful, it will be shattered, if I do it, what kind of promises and benefits can I get?" ”

Hearing Wang Jin say this, Zhang Bao's face showed an imperceptible smile.

It's done. (To be continued.) )
