In the mind of Shopkeeper Ji, what kind of person is Zeng Daxia? Thinking that the children of Western businessmen in Shanxi and Shaanxi were fighting at the beginning, they were about to die, and it was not Zeng Daxia and the local Yan Daxia, Gao Daxia and others who came forward to mediate that this fight was avoided. What kind of face does that have to be, except for Danyang Shao Daxia, who can compare to Zeng Daxia? Why is Zeng Daxia a long-term follower now, this son looks really young and handsome, and there are a lot of beautiful people around him, but he doesn't look like a master, is this actually a character who can be on an equal footing with Danyang Shao Daxia?

Yan Hong said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Ji, don't listen to Zeng Daxia's nonsense, I am a junior of Zeng Daxia, and I am a traveling merchant on the orders of my family." For fear of a mistake, please ask Zeng Daxia to protect my safety. When I was at home, there was a problem, so I could take care of some nosy things, and the shopkeeper might as well tell me what it was, if it was a matter of money, I might be able to do it on my behalf, but I can't say. ”

Shopkeeper Ji is also a ghost in the field, he is very familiar with the things on the street, and he is enthusiastic, so he wants to get ahead in this matter, but he doesn't have this ability, listening to Yan Hong's question, he feels that even if this person can't manage it, if he is willing to talk to Zeng Daxia, maybe he can save that family, so he said to Yan Hong.

If you want to say that the city of Yangzhou is lively, Baoyang Lake is second to none. On both sides of the river, there are many salt merchants who build their own private gardens. These salt merchants are rich, and the gardens they build are also the pursuit of perfection, and they do not spare money, so they attract countless tourists to linger and watch. There was a family from outside, and they opened a small teahouse on the shore of Baoyang Lake. Sell some tea soup for food. Later, he opened a restaurant. Business is booming.

It is said that this is a good thing, but the bad thing is that the proprietress is a beautiful woman and a widow. Since there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, she has to show up for this business, so some idlers have the idea of this proprietress. Originally, the proprietress also had a backer, and it is said that she was familiar with Xiao Renxiong of the 100 households of Yangzhou Jinyi Wei, and had the face of 100 households in Jinyi. There are still some military remnants who are there to suppress, and no scoundrel dares to provoke them.

As a result, there has been a recent disturbance of Japanese robbers, and the city of Yangzhou is heavily guarded, which is greatly restricted from going out of the city. Zhang Yongfu, nicknamed Zhang Bancheng in the city, was very bored, leading a group of people to hang out and drink tea in this teahouse. But at a glance, I took a fancy to the proprietor's beloved daughter, the girl was in the year of jasper this year, she was beautiful and lovely, like a flower like jade, and she hooked Zhang Yuanwai's soul at once.

Zhang Yuan sent someone to inquire. The man of the Zhilu Dao family was also a hundred households in the Jinyi Guard, and then somehow committed something. The female dependents also joined the Fang Division. Zhang Yuanwai didn't care about these pasts, and directly sent someone to hire him, saying that he wanted to fill in the house for his son. The bride price is only open and never counteroffered, and the other eight boxes and eight lifts of the dowry are prepared according to the highest specifications, and the money is sent out by Zhang. The family also has a young son who is in school, and Zhang Bancheng even promised to ensure that the boy has a future. As for the rest of the family, they all moved to Zhang's house and were supported by Zhang's family.

It is important to know that the status of merchants at this time is no longer as low as it was in the early Ming Dynasty. The champion of Zhengde for three years, Lu Nan, the waiter of the Jiajing Dynasty Rite Department, once said when answering a question from his disciples: "Shang is also harmless." However, scholars should not do it themselves, or they can order their children or ask their relatives. Otherwise, what will be given to the support of parents and wives?" And the children of merchants can be the secretary of the military department, and they can be the Shuji of the Hanlin Academy, who can say that the status of merchants is low? Nowadays, people like Zhang Dahu can't climb if they want to, not to mention the origin of the Teaching Workshop Division?

In this family, only the second mother came out to do business, and the lady in the main room did not come out at home. As soon as the matchmaker went, he mentioned that he was a wife who used to fill the house, so he said that he moved the lady in the main room of the house. But I didn't expect that the little girl would not live or die, and she would not marry if she was looking for death.

The proprietress also counted her sister down, saying that she had already inquired, the two sons of the Zhang family, and the wives and concubines were in groups, where did they come from? The third young master that the matchmaker said was already dead, did he want to marry him? It is clear that the big family has bad intentions, and it is estimated that he wants to follow the wisdom of King Chuping, and he is called marrying his daughter-in-law, but in fact, his father-in-law intercepts it. As for what to take a family to support, it is clear that he has a heart that eats big and small. That package is a meritorious person, not to mention that under the relatively strict imperial examination system of the dynasty, this kind of commitment is reliable. If in the future, after he gets tired of playing, he turns his face ruthlessly and drives the family away, will he still go to him to ask for a lifter?

When the main room heard it, he also knew that he had done something wrong. But Zhang Dahu saw that the right way was not going through, so he turned around and took out a marriage certificate, saying that the girl of that family had promised his dead son that he was born to the Zhang family and died as a ghost of the Zhang family, so he had to spend a red sedan chair to carry people.

When Yan Hong heard this, he had already guessed eight points in his heart, and asked, "What is the surname of that family, does Shopkeeper Ji know?" ”

Ji shopkeeper said: "Those who know the way of the devil know the way." The man in that family is surnamed Mo, called Mo Huaigu, who went to Jiangnan on an errand back then, and lived in my store, but he is a good person. If he hadn't reached out to help, my poor girl...... Forget it, let's not talk about the past. It's really pitiful, as soon as people die, the tea is cold, and the family is forced by this, and no one in the old robe is willing to come forward. Xiao Renxiong Xiao Baihu still has some dealings with her man, but he still refuses to come forward to help. If it weren't for the second lady of this family, who had some knowledge, she actually ran to the gate of Danyang Shao Daxia's courtyard to cry Qin Ting, I was afraid that she would have been robbed to the house by Zhang Dahu at this time. ”

Yan Hong said: "What Shao Daxia, do you mean that Shao Fang or Shao Jing, these two brothers can take care of this idle matter?" ”

When Shopkeeper Ji heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Son, be cautious in your words, the name of Shao Daxia's uncle and nephew is not something that can be mentioned in your mouth." There are 3,000 guests under the door, and the south of the city is five feet in the sky, and the Shao family is not an idler. There are many diners in the house, all of whom are heroic characters who value righteousness and life, if you listen to your disrespectful tone, beware of asking for white knives to go in and red knives to come out. Although the Shao Xiaohero you mentioned is strong in martial arts, when we mention Shao Daxia, we are referring to the uncle. Although he is from Danyang, he also has another courtyard in Yangzhou, and occasionally comes to sit. It is said that with Shao Daxia's fame, he may not be able to shock Zhang Bancheng, but Zhang Bancheng has a reason in this matter. The eldest lady of the Mo family said that her own girl had never been married, but the signature on the marriage certificate was to find a few old masters, and they all said that it was Mo Huaigu's handwriting, and they couldn't rely on it. Even if Shao Daxia is good, he can't be strong. ”

Yan Hong said: "Since Zhang Dahu's son died early, can't you see a problem with this date?" ”

Shopkeeper Ji said: "That's what I said, but several old courtiers said that it was not a forgery, what can others do?" Especially in the recent troubles, Shao Daxia sat in Danyang to practice Yong to protect the realm, and he was also unskilled, so he only asked his subordinates to send a note, saying that he must act according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, and there must be no act of robbing by force, and it is inconvenient for him to interfere in other things. Later, I heard that it was the second mother of the family who had said that her girl was allowed to be a little one for Yan Qincha, who was ordered to go south, think about it, isn't this staring nonsense? What kind of family is the Yan family, if it is really small with his family, why don't you take the door earlier? Besides, if you don't have a credential, why should you believe it? Shao Daxia's partiality and the Yan family are a little wrong, so I don't want to care about this matter, so as not to fall into the reputation of a sycophant and powerful. ”

Yan Hong said: "Then in this case, why don't the family go to Qincha Xingyuan, go to deliver the papers, and ask Qincha to come out for her family?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't? However, the people of the Zhang family were extremely strictly guarded, and it is said that they had paid off the inspection to prevent their family from leaving the city. Since the Japanese invaders, this Yangzhou city has been strictly checked, there is no road guide, and it is strictly forbidden to go out of the city. When did you say that you were so strict about the road guide, and in the yamen, Zhang Bancheng had already bought it out, who could open the way for her family? Although we see things unfairly, we can't afford to provoke Zhang Bancheng. For a matter that I don't know whether it's true or not, I went to the Qincha Yamen, and I couldn't get a whip, and I had to be calculated by Zhang Bancheng when I came back. I don't see Zeng Daxia arrive, I hope that Zeng Daxia will come forward and talk to Zhang Yuanwai, maybe Zhang Yuan will let this matter go for a face, and it is unknown. ”

Zeng Shifang knew in his heart that a rich man like Zhang Yongfu and Zhang Bancheng made friends with the government, and he was a hero like him, and he was really worthless in the eyes of the other party. is to talk about fighting, the other party has many family guards, and they also collude with Zao Yong, and their entire Yandang faction is given in vain. But now that his identity has changed, relying on the big tree of Qincha, he doesn't take this local tyrant seriously. At the moment, he said: "Shopkeeper Ji rest assured, since my son-in-law knows about this matter, he will not let it go, and he will definitely save this family from danger." ”

Yan Hong asked where the Mo family lived, and led everyone out of the inn and went straight to the Mo house. Long Ruhai said: "Childe, do you want to take your waist card and transfer the Zhejiang soldiers?" Or transfer to the standard camp. In case a family attracts a young man, I am afraid that we will be outnumbered and will suffer. ”

Wang Cuiqiao said with a smile: "The old man is really careful, but don't worry, now that I hear that the Qin mission is coming, they are so afraid of acting so much that they will not dare to make a big show and lead troops to rob people." Besides, Brother Hong just went to take a look, and there was no conflict, but Zhang Bancheng dared to take the younger brother's woman, so he deserved to be unlucky. ”

Yan Hong said: "Sister Cuiqiao, I keep in mind what you said at the beginning, whether Zhang Bancheng has this matter or not, I will spare him." ”

The two of them are now open and unscrupulous, just by name, and they are still referred to as sisters and brothers in public, just making superficial articles. However, who dares to say anything more about these relatives, they can only pretend that they have not heard. Although the Yellow River Shuangxia looks a little awkward, this kind of selfish matter is not easy to interfere too much, and it does not involve major festivals, so they have to open their eyes and close their eyes.
