Chapter 663: The Shen Couple
Whether it is a personal relationship or justice, Shen Baozhen has the need to visit Yang Meng, from the perspective of personal relations, Yang Yi, the second eldest of the Yang family, is his uncle and father-in-law Lin Zexu's closed disciple, although since his father-in-law died of illness, the Lin family has basically cut off contact with Yang Er, but Yang Er's incense relationship with the Lin family cannot be erased......
The connection between the Lin family and Yang Er was broken, not because Yang Yi and the Lin people were responsible, but because the world was like this, although Yang Yi said that he was in the Tibetan border and the quality system was not bad, but he was not born on the right path of the imperial examination, and the people of the Lin family, whether it was Shen Baozhen, Feng Guifen, Liu Qi, or Lin Zexu's two sons, were all born on the right path of the imperial examination.
Yang Yi's Yiqing Zhangjing, most of which came from the imperial court's favor for the Yang family, Yang Yi, who boasted of being full of wealth, after doing this Yiqing Zhangjing, the way of the imperial examination was also broken, and after becoming an official, he went to the imperial examination, how could there be such a thing? The official hat came from unexplained, and Yang Yi didn't have the face to contact those fellow disciples.
And the Lin family, who was born on the right path in the imperial examination, naturally did not want Yang Yi, a half-person, to join them, and the hypocrisy between the two sides slowly broke off.
This time Yang San strongly supported the Lin family, the reason is also unclear, now Yang San can be said to be in the limelight, with his prestige and status, he does not need to please anyone, who to stammer, if Yang San just supports him Shen Baozhen, this matter is still in the past.
This time, Yang San raised the three backbones of the Lin family, Shen Baozhen made a small fiefdom, Rao Ting elected officials to be reinstated, and Feng Guifen was ordered to train in a group.
When things go wrong, there must be demons. There is also a talk of killing in officialdom. Yang San was dismissed that year. and his father-in-law Lin Zexu also have great responsibilities, in case Yang San harbors evil intentions in this matter, the result will be unimaginable.
The situation in the south of the Yangtze River affects the whole body, and two of the people in the forest system are in the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang are precisely the most worrying boundaries of the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, although Yang San is in the fold. mentioned that Feng Guifen was given 10,000 sailors to practice, but that was all for later.
In case Feng Guifen and Rao Tingxuan are defeated in advance, it is not only Shen Baozhen who will be affected, but Lin Congyi of Liangjiang and Lin Ruzhou of Jingshi are afraid that they will be involved, and it will even affect the name of their father-in-law Lin Zexu.
This time Shen Baozhen and Lin Puqing came, Shen Baozhen represented Liu Qiyi, Feng Guifen, Rao Tingxuan and others, and Lin Puqing came directly on behalf of the Lin family.
The big and small things in Jiangxi, if Yang Meng has the heart to investigate. There are basically no secrets to speak of, and the Shen couple's hiding is not a secret matter. After the couple got on the boat, the sedan car should have been a journey of more than ten days, and it only took more than a day to finish.
Yang Meng was in a hurry to go to Guangzhou to take up a job, and there was no time for the couple to rest, and the couple went to Jiujiang for a short rest, and then went to the Jiujiang Mansion where Yang Meng's brothers were under the escort of the sailor regimental training.
"Provisional Hunan Governor Shen Baozhen......"
"Shen Puqing has seen ......"
"Sister Puqing and Brother Shen don't have to be polite, just feel free, I'm different from the second brother, I don't talk about any etiquette."
The Shen couple entered the lobby, and when they saw Yang Butang, who was also a member of the imperial mission, they naturally wanted to kneel and worship, and without waiting for the two to move, Yang Meng got up and left the main seat.
"Yang Butang's number of rituals is still ......"
Seeing Yang San's surprising enthusiasm, the doubts in the hearts of Shen Baozhen and his wife became heavier, the Lin family only had some friendship with the second child of the Yang family, but he had no friendship with this Yang Butang, this was too eager, the couple exchanged glances, and this leading matter was also taken over by Shen Baozhen.
"We don't have to be like this! Lin Gong and my old man had some friendship when they were in Guangzhou, from my second brother's side, we are considered world friends, let Sister Puqing and Brother Shen kneel down, Yang San can't afford it! ”
After Yang Mengxu led the two of them to sit down, he also casually sat on the chair opposite the two.
"Lord Ministry, Youdan is here to thank you......"
Although he has received the edict of the imperial court to transfer his position, in terms of officialdom, Shen Baozhen is still a big step behind Yang Meng, plus his position as governor of Hunan was earned by Yang San, and he can't put on the posture of Brother Shen.
Shen Baozhen served in Hunan, Luo Bingzhang and Zeng Disheng all contributed, but the final decision was still Yang Meng, there was no Yang Meng's excerpt, even if there was Luo Bingzhang and Zeng Disheng's recommendation, he Shen Baozhen did not have the slightest chance to ascend to the governor's position.
Before Luo Bingzhang recommended Shen Baozhen, he had written contact with him, so Shen Baozhen also knew what role Yang Meng played in it.
"We don't have to be like this between us, Yang San is a rude person, he doesn't pay attention to etiquette, if he is evil in words, you have to bear with it! Who made us relatives?
As for the title, the third child is good! ”
Yang Meng did not call Lin Puqing Mrs. Shen, but also to show the position of the Yang family, this time the Lin family was immediately put on the throne, he looked at the relationship between the second brother and Lin Laohu, and everything else was not considered.
Yang Meng's words were clear, and after the Shen couple exchanged glances again, Lin Puqing also took the lead.
"Third child, this time Youdan, Lin Yi and Meichen are all up to you, I don't know what to say?"
Youdan is Shen Baozhen's word, Lin Yi is Feng Guifen's word, as for Meichen is Rao Tingxuan, Lin Puqing is not a big lady who does not go out of the door, Shen Baozhen Shou Guangxin, if it wasn't for Lin Puqing to ask for Rao Tingxuan's rescue, the couple is afraid that they would have died in the hands of the Taiping Army.
Seeing that Yang Meng's posture was very low, she was not hypocritical, and directly inquired about Yang Meng's wit.
"Sister Puqing, this matter has to start with my second brother, I took over the position of the minister of Nanyang in the imperial court, and the court gave my second brother the function of Jiujiang, and the things in his stomach are quite a lot, but whether it will be used or not, I have to say two.
The location of Jiujiang is critical. The officialdom of the Qing Dynasty was deep. In order to find a few suitable helpers for the second brother. I chose Brother Shen Shi, I did one thing and did two or three things, Rao Tingxuan was taken away by the imperial court last time because of Brother Shen Shi, and Feng Guifen was also overstretched in Jiangsu, and it was easier to do three things together.
Tell me about the errand! I won't say much about it. ”
Although Yang Meng's title is a bit nondescript. But Lin Puqing was extremely grateful, if Yang Meng called Shen Baozhen his brother-in-law, it would be heroic shortness of breath for his husband, and Brother Shen Shi was a good name.
"That's it?"
Yang Meng's reason is too simple, it is simply unexpected, just to pull a few helpers for Yang Yi, he took up the three main forces of the Lin Department in one fell swoop, this matter is really a bit of a child's play.
"Hmmm! One is the ability of several brothers, and the other is to help my second brother. The third is the friendship with Lin Gong, which I don't understand very well. You go to my second brother and ask.
As for the errand of the two brothers of the Lin family and Brother Liu, when I get to Guangzhou, it will be difficult to arrange such a large number of manpower in a hurry. ”
Looking at Yang San with a real face, Shen Baozhen and Lin Puqing were a little helpless, these words were too untrue in their ears, just to find a helper for Yang Yi, this promoted a governor, a commander, a minister of regimental training, and the follow-up to support the eldest brother-in-law Liu Qi and the Lin brothers, this is too child's play, right?
If the provincial officials are still excusable, this is the governor and the admiral, and the handwriting of this boy from the Yang family is too generous.
"Third child, what are your plans to go to Guangzhou?"
Since Yang Meng's words have come to this, Lin Puqing is not good at asking anything, this matter can only be asked by Yang Yi clearly, the boundary of Guangzhou is a sad place for the Lin family, since it is tied to the Yang family, the matter of Guangzhou has become a big deal.
Looking at Yang San's style, he is almost the same as his father, and he is very tough, once he causes trouble in Guangzhou, it is still the people of the Lin family who are implicated.
"War with foreigners!"
Sure enough, Yang San spoke really directly, and the matter of starting a war should be decided by the imperial court, and when he spoke like this, he obviously regarded the two of them as his own.
"Third child, you still have to be cautious in this matter!"
Talking to Yang Meng, Lin Puqing was the leader, and seeing her husband Shen Baozhen frowning and shaking her head, Lin Puqing also said the general meaning.
"There is nothing to be cautious about, there will always be a war between China and the West, it is inevitable! Since it is inevitable, why don't we take the initiative to fight! This time, Brother Shen Shige was appointed to Hunan, which also meant to be the backing of Guangzhou.
I can take care of the affairs of Guangzhou alone, but the responsibility of Brother Shen and all the brothers is in this place south of the Yangtze River.
If nothing else, the Taiping army will be trapped and killed in the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui within a year, as long as the Taiping army does not make trouble, I have the confidence to sweep away the Yangyi threat to Guangzhou! ”
Yang Meng's words were similar to Lin Zexu's, they were too strong, and after hearing this, the Shen couple had worried expressions on their faces.
"The third child, my father was frustrated in Guangzhou back then, and you are so tough that you are afraid that after the matter becomes bigger, you will be the scapegoat of the court again."
Lin Puqing's heart is also a little resentful about what happened back then, his father's death in office has a lot to do with the suffering of the seven years of war, if it weren't for the ......
"Hmph...... Scapegoat? Which one dare I see? The sailor group training is not a decoration! ”
Yang Meng shouldn't say this, after all, the three of them met for the first time, and this was too chaotic, after hearing this, Shen Baozhen's face changed greatly, and Lin Puqing's face was no better.
"You ......"
"Let's not talk about this, the origin of the matter, you go to my second brother and say, I have bought you a house in Changsha, which has some family assets, and after arriving in Changsha, you still have to live in this house, otherwise it will be a slap in the face!"
Some words had to be said slowly, and after leaving a word, Yang Meng talked about his personal relationship again.
"The third child, this matter must be decided, you do this, how can you behave as a person?"
The Yang family is a big businessman. Lin Puqing is clear, but he is afraid that Yang Meng will make a move, and that skill is not small, he has followed Shen Baozhen all the way over the years, although it has been a little harder, but there are some things that cannot be done.
"There are not a lot of things, a house with two entrances, a matching furniture, calligraphy and paintings, three hired servants, and a few pieces of scattered silver, just such a few things, it is already very shabby, and it is chilling if you don't accept it."
Yang Meng took out a booklet from his arms, flipped through it, and reported a general list of items.
"Third child, let's talk about it bluntly, it's not good for you to do this! Tell me how much these things are worth? If it's a few hundred taels, our husband and wife will take it, if it's too much, we can't take it! ”
In this matter, Lin Puqing is also not giving an inch, and it is true that the two families are on good terms, but a two-entry house in the provincial capital, I am afraid that the rent in January will be more than ten or twenty taels, and if I buy it, I am afraid that I will not be able to get down without a few thousand taels.
"Uh...... I really don't know.
Come up and check the price code of this house. ”
Yang Meng took the booklet and asked people to calculate the price of the house, and the three of them fell into a dry seat, Yang Meng didn't know what to say, and the Shen couple had many things to consider, and it was a good thing to be silent for a while. (To be continued......)
