Chapter 236: Down to the South of the River

A woman like her, who was born in a family education, naturally knows what to do and what not to do. For example, taking advantage of her husband's absence to kill her husband's favorite concubine or sell it, she naturally disdains it. On the contrary, she has to find a way to maintain the absolute authority of her eldest woman, but also to maintain the stability of the family's appearance.

"When the Bi family got married, I heard that they brought 600 families, and they will all be arranged on our grange when they go back. Manage tenants and collect rents. The business in the city, they don't look suitable. And our salt store in the northwest, do you also leave some people? While she consulted with her husband, she cautiously mentioned the woman she feared the most. This woman and her husband are in distress, and the position is a little heavier than herself. Originally, her father's identity was embarrassing, but now if even the old devil is solved, that embarrassment will not be a problem. "Sister of the Liu family, when I enter the palace to worship the queen, say a few words of favor to the mother, and also bring people from Hengshan."

Zheng Guobao nodded and said: "This is my good lady, she is really thoughtful." But Sister Jing, you have to wait for me to settle the matter of Ren Lao Mo and pick it up together. Otherwise, don't talk about her, even Yingying can't be kept. Since my father-in-law is a curse, Jiangnan has to be regarded as the foundation of our family, and I have to ask my father-in-law to recommend one or two virtuous abilities for my use in order to achieve great things. ”

Shen Wanying sighed, and suddenly remembered something, "The husband is here, not only can he fulfill his wish, but he can also make great contributions, can he also do one thing for the concubine." ”

"Madame, but there is an order, I will go to the soup and go to the fire, and I will not give up."

"Then, I want that plum village. Isn't it good for the husband to get it for others? ”

On weekdays, Shen Wanying is an eldest woman, so she has to put on a graceful and dignified appearance, not smiling, and the relationship with everyone is not far away. Zheng Guobao saw her like this, and the idea of paying taxes again. "Good madam, why did you remember to ask for that plum village?"

"Wait a minute, don't make it bad yet." Shen Wanying also felt the change in her husband's body, and hurriedly mourned. He also talked about his festival with Meizhuang.

Nameizhuang is in Hangzhou. It is not far from Suzhou, and it is naturally indispensable to interact with each other. Meizhuang plum blossom is also a famous beauty in Suzhou and Hangzhou, every plum blossom season, there are countless literati and scholars. Go to Plum Village for wine tasting and plum blossoms. Poetry is given. Meizhuang also became famous in Jiangnan.

At this time, the literary style of Jiangnan is far better than that of the north, and those talented people who chant poetry and do endowments, do you know that they are not the future Hanlin Qing Xuan, the minister of the ministry? Danqing is a good wine. Huang Zhonggong played a good piano, the bald pen Weng is good at calligraphy, and the black and white son is good at dancing with long sleeves. The nickname of Jiangnan Siyou was first touted by those literati. It is precisely because they have friendships with these literati and local governors that no one dares to attack their ideas.

On the contrary, there are many people with many problems who need to dredge their joints, and when there is no way, Meizhuang has become the most ideal channel. And Meizhuang is also an expert in doing this kind of thing, and he is familiar with it. Itself this appreciation of Mei Ya set, there is a link to identify calligraphy and painting, Meizhuang four elders are Jinshi everyone, have absolute authority in the industry, and it is more convenient for them to do things. For example, if someone wants to make a point to a certain official, Dan Qingsheng or Bald Pen Weng will come forward and buy a pair of calligraphy and paintings in the official's hand at a high price, and that person will take the painting and give it to the official. is so inconspicuous and dewy, even if a favor is done.

Another method is that after doing the appraisal, the four elders come forward to say that the calligraphy and paintings of the worthless calligraphy and paintings in the hands of the officials are antiques, and then organize an auction. During the auction, the bidding was ridiculously high, and in the end, a pair of worthless things could bring in thousands of taels of income. The four elders of Meizhuang, just collecting intermediary fees, are already rich.

Shen Wanying's short-lived husband was originally an active member of the literati and elegant concentration, otherwise it would be impossible to marry the Shen family. It's just that he didn't have a good fortune, and before he had time to taste the beauty, he died.

Shen Wanying's brain is active, she sees the great business opportunities of this Meizhuang Yaji, and actively wants to participate in the Yaji. At the beginning, these literati were very welcome, this rich widow is said to be born and extremely beautiful, who doesn't want to be close to each other, relying on literary talent to get close to Fangze, maybe you can get both people and money.

But after contact, I realized that although Miss Shen's father was a court assistant, she herself was a first-class vulgar thing. When she opens her mouth and closes her mouth, she talks about business and money, and as for the literati and poetry, she disdains them all. Even some talented people put down their bodies and wanted to ask Miss Shen to swim in the same boat, or ride a horse, but they were all ruthlessly refused. Even the food and drink are all brought by themselves, and there is no foreign alcohol and food, not a single drop, and no secluded places are visited. In front of and behind him, there are always some sturdy women and vulgar servants who are interested in bad people.

Later, after these people summed it up, they came to the conclusion that Miss Shen was not here to find a man, but to do business here. Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable? Don't let us take advantage, but want to get advantage from here, do you want to deceive me that there is no man in Jiangnan?

After another overture to Widow Shen was refused, several Jiangnan geniuses called on their colleagues to collectively boycott Shen Wanying. Claiming that men and women travel together is immoral and even more damaging to their reputation. The ethics of a scholar is the most important, if he is said to be a silver evilman, it is difficult to change his innocence even if he dies. Meizhuang has her without us, and we without her.

Of course, Siyou should consider the feelings of the company, but it is more important to consider the feelings of the overall customer. had no choice but to tear up and ban Miss Shen. Shen Wanying said angrily: "It's unreasonable! Do you know, just because of this, how much business has I lost and how much money I have lost? If this revenge is not avenged, what face is there to be the main room of the uncle? ”

She now has the title of Sanpin Destiny on her body, and she can be regarded as the wife of the imperial court. But when it comes to money, no matter what kind of official body and demeanor you have, you don't want it at all. The light in her eyes is comparable to Zheng Guobao's gaze when he looks at her delicate body. "It's a pity that such a good place in Meizhuang is for four guys who only know piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to live. Let's take it over, and when the time comes, we will be able to support this elegant collection. With my father's name, I'm not afraid that no one will come. Whoever asks people to do things, who wants to buy and sell some important things, let's open our eyes, close our eyes, and only collect some water, which is enough to make a lot of money. I can do the same antique buying and selling, picking out the missing flowers. If you need Jinshi, I can make a few for them at any time. There is also a salt merchant in Yangzhou, with a principal of 30 million and an annual profit of 9 million. If we get a piece of the pie, it will be a lot of money. ”

Zheng Guobao also knows that when his wife talks about money, she is like a hero in retreat, a monk**, and is not interfered with by foreign objects. I had to make a promise one by one, and said in my heart: Yangzhou salt merchants, with an annual profit of nine million, but only pay hundreds of thousands of taxes and silver, and they have to push back and push, if they only share his piece of the pie, what is the point?

Winter goes to spring, and in a blink of an eye, it has reached the warm spring season, the river is smooth, and it is finally possible to go down to the south of the Yangtze River. Since the Henan mutiny subsided, the wind and rain were smooth, the expected Henan disaster did not come, and the Yellow River failed to break through the embankment, so that the princes of the court and China breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, it will not be the first peaceful mutiny, and then the civilian mutiny, as for the blood and tears of Songshan and Shaolin Ermen, no one knows.

In the court, King Lu first became a vassal of Weihui, and then Gu Xiancheng, Gao Gui and others degraded, and the momentum of the clear stream was frustrated. Subsequently, there was Jiajing Nian Jinshi, Lingyingzi Geng Yilan entered Beijing to sue the royal court, sued the monk Shangdeqing of Jianshan, forcibly seized Laoshan Dao property, and beat the host to death.

This state was originally to Dali Temple, but somehow it alarmed the heavenly family. It is said that the monk Deqing is commensurate with the sister and brother of the Empress Dowager Li, and this lawsuit is still a big matter and a small matter, which is the right way. How do you know that Emperor Wanli is abnormal, high-profile handling, and has a fair posture to return things, which makes the princes of the Beijing officialdom muttered a little in their hearts, could it be that a new round of big storm is brewing? After the imperial party, is it going to war?

In this context, Zheng Guobao's departure from Beijing is widely interpreted as avoiding trouble. After all, there is no enmity between mother and son, and if the old queen mother wants to hate, she must hate Zheng Ruonan, the demon concubine who brought her son. Although there are rumors, Zheng Ruonan had great luck and found the four antiques that Princess Yongning had been thinking about and sent them to her hands. made my sister-in-law happy enough, and even said good things in front of her mother. But freezing three feet, not a day's cold, just relying on these four treasures, can the old queen mother's concept of Emperor Zheng's concubine improve? When you think about it, you know it's impossible. (To be continued!)
