"This letter is for me?" Cheng Zhong asked in surprise. He didn't know a few people in Huating County at all, who would write to him?

Hai Rui nodded: "You can take a look." ”

The letter was written by Cheng Zhong three days later, with only a few numbers and a beautiful font, which was obviously written by a woman. It was the mother of the "Second Prince Xu" that Jing Xinzhai met, Shen.

Cheng Zhong's heart was shocked, the father of "Second Prince Xu" is Xu Jie, the current scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, so isn't this Shen Jie's wife? At this moment, Cheng Zhong suddenly had a bold idea - to pull Xu Jie into the gang.

Xu Jie's high and far away in Beijing, Cheng Zhong can't reach it, so it will fall on the Shen family and Xu Ergongzi.

To do silk business, it is inevitable to deal with the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau,

The Weaving Bureau is a government-run silk weaving workshop, responsible for silk and cloth for the use of the imperial court. The weaving superintendent is a eunuch sent by the palace, although the official rank is relatively low, but because of the difference in appearance, the status is equal to that of the superintendent.

In such a situation, the identity and background of such a county as Hai Rui is too insufficient, but if you add a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion who is being favored by Emperor Jiajing, then the situation is completely different.

Cheng Zhong told Hai Rui his thoughts, Hai Rui pondered for a while, and finally nodded and said, "You have full authority to deal with this matter." ”

Hai Rui knows that although he is Cheng Zhong's master, in many ways, Cheng Zhong has novel ideas, clear thinking, thoughtfulness, and most importantly, he is relatively dark-bellied, and he can use the resources that can be used by Yiqiē, and he can completely take charge of himself.

Three days later, Cheng Zhong changed into a clean and decent kaftan and went to the appointment on time.

Shen did not explain the purpose of the banquet for Cheng Zhong in the letter, but Cheng Zhong thought that it would not be a bad thing.

Although Cheng Zhong and Xu Kun had a conflict in Jingxinzhai, first, Cheng Zhong did not know Xu Kun's identity at the time, and secondly, Xu Kun originally wanted to accept Jingxin as a concubine.

Although Jingxin was once a red card, but his status was low, not to mention that the Xu family had such a high threshold, even ordinary innocent families would not be willing, and the Shen family naturally strongly opposed it, but Xu Kun had a stubborn personality, and the Shen family had no choice.

I thought that this matter had been settled, but I didn't expect Cheng Zhong to come out halfway and destroy this matter, thinking that the Shen family wanted to thank Cheng Zhong, at least he wouldn't blame it.

At the same time, Cheng Zhong also regarded Shen's invitation as an important opportunity.

The Xu family's house is about 20 miles away from Huating County, and the environment is elegant. Cheng Zhongxin said that this is called low-key luxury.

Cheng Zhong stepped forward and handed over the greeting post, and soon the door opened, and the group came out. The woman in the middle is about fifty years old, with a serene demeanor and a noble temperament, and she should be Shen.

"Cheng Zhong will meet the old lady in the evening." Cheng Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

"Hurry up and excuse me." Shen took half a step forward and gave him a handful.

Cheng Zhong stood up with the momentum, and only then did he have the opportunity to watch the group in front of him.

To the left of the Shen family stood a middle-aged man in his forties, who should be a housekeeper. And standing to her right was Xu Kun, the second son of Xu.

Xu Er Gongzi seemed to have some opinions about Cheng Zhong, although he didn't dare to be rebellious at the request of the Shen family, but there was a little unnaturalness on his face after all.

"Cheng Gongzi is very kind to my Xu family, and the old body is inspired, please accept the old body." Shen said that he was about to salute with a cane.

Shen's gift, how dare Cheng Zhong take it?

Cheng Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to support the Shen family, and said again and again: "Old woman, don't be like this, you are going to be a late born Bo Fu." ”

Shen was just putting on a show, so he stood up and said to his son Xu Kun: "Kun'er, thank you for being a young man." ”

Xu Kun was a little reluctant to thank Cheng Zhong, but his mother strictly ordered him not to disobey, so he had to reluctantly salute.

Cheng Zhong thanked again: "The Xu family accumulates virtue and does good, helps the community, benefits the people, and the merit is in the future, this is the will of God, what is Cheng Zhong's merit?" ”

Cheng Zhong's words opened his eyes and smiled, feeling that this Cheng Zhong was indeed a clever person.

Because Xu Jie is an official in Beijing, and his eldest son is by his side at any time, there is not much population in the Xu family's house.

Shen and Xu Kun accompanied Cheng Zhong to a family banquet. I don't know if it is to reflect the poverty of the house, the family banquet only prepared six dishes, of which two plates were pickled by the Shen family himself.

For this, the Shen family apologized again and again, while Cheng Zhong lamented that the Xu family was poor and self-controlled, and was a model for the world.

Shen felt that Cheng Zhong's every word had spoken to his heart, and he liked Cheng Zhong more and more. How good would it be if his son could be as clever and well-behaved as Cheng Zhong?

Seeing that the time was almost up, Cheng Zhong began to mention the topic of silk business.

Shen just listened to a few words and then stood up and said, "Cheng Gongzi forgives his sins, he is old and frail, and he is a little tired, just have something to say to Kun'er." Kun'er, accompany Cheng Gongzi well. ”

The Shen family's arrangement was also expected by Cheng Zhong, after all, it was indeed inconvenient for the Shen family to come forward for this kind of thing, and it was most suitable for Xu Kun to come forward.

Cheng Zhong and Xu Kun talked in detail about the specific arrangements for the silk business. According to the results discussed with Hai Rui before, the Xu family and the Xie family accounted for the same proportion of thirty percent.

In this way, borrowing the wealth of the Xie family and the power of the Xu family, the entire layout has been unfolded. Of course, the power of the Xu family is for the future, and for the time being, Hai Rui's power is enough.

Although Xu Kun is a little stupid, he is not stupid, knowing that Cheng Zhong is sending wealth and wealth.

Although Xu Kun did have some resentment towards Cheng Zhong in the matter of meditation, but once meditation did kill someone and break the law, it was also a matter of course, and after knowing about meditation and Du Chongde, Xu Kun's infatuation with meditation was much lighter, and his resentment towards Cheng Zhong was much lighter.

Now that Cheng Zhong has sent such a wealth to the door, the money will roll in in the future, what kind of woman can't find it?

Xu Jie and the Shen family are stricter in disciplining their juniors, and Xu Kun has never had enough money. In order to avoid being criticized by the imperial history, Xu Jie did not allow his children and nephews to do business.

But now the situation is different, it is Cheng Zhong who comes forward, and the Xu family is just hiding behind their backs, and if there is nothing to do, there is no need to come forward at all, so naturally there is no need to worry about anything. Even if something happened, Xu Jie could say that he didn't know. The Shen family left under the pretext of leaving, and I am afraid that there is also this layer of consideration.

The more Cheng Zhong and Xu Jie talked, the more speculative they became, and the trace of mustard left in Xu Kun's heart before was completely gone. Not only that, Xu Kun also felt that Cheng Zhong was indeed a friend of the people, and the more the two talked, the hotter it became, and they almost had to burn yellow paper to worship the handle.

After completing this, Cheng Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is only a silk business, Cheng Zhong's move is equivalent to tying the Xu family to the chariot of interests. Cheng Zhong has always believed that the strongest relationship is the relationship of interests.

Although Hai Rui was recommended by Xu Jie, if the situation changed, Xu Jie could completely abandon Hai Rui. But now Xu Jie wants to abandon Hai Rui, and he has to weigh it, after all, there is Xu Kun's relationship.

On the surface, the Xu family was only involved in the silk business. But the prerequisite for the silk business was the implementation of a whip law. If Xu Kun wants to ensure his own interests, he must support the implementation of a whip law.

If you encounter such a job as opening a road in a mountain or building a bridge in a water, the Xu family will naturally not be able to run away.
