Chapter 267: Fictional Characters
Peng Xinai is the head of Gong Cao of Zheng Liupin, and he is also the confidant of the county guard Pang Chengan.
In the entire Wangsha County, Peng Xi is a very dignified official.
His goddaughter naturally wants to wear silk and satin.
Otherwise, such a poor and sour person will definitely provoke the ridicule of others.
There are very few officials who have a bad face, and Peng Xi is among them.
Seeing Hu Bao go out in response, Pan Wenchang immediately opened his mouth to stop him, Enhui is his daughter, how can he be embarrassed to let Peng Xi break the bank and buy silk clothes for his daughter?
This money should be paid by him.
Although, he didn't want to.
"Hu Bao, please stay, or let the official buy the cloth."
Although he felt sorry for the silver money spent to buy cloth, Peng Xi was a great nobleman who Pan Wenchang wanted to tie up, and Pan Wenchang couldn't help but stop it.
Elder Pan Wen is old, and it is more difficult to get promoted, but it is always better to have Shangguan to take care of him.
What's more, he also wants to take a concubine and have children and inherit the incense.
Now you have to plan ahead, and with enough connections, you can pave the way for your son in the future.
He has a knot in his heart, that is, he has always thought that his own knowledge is very deep, but the reason why he did not become a senior official is because his family background is poor and there are no relatives to take care of him, so he must not let his son not be able to pay for his ambition for this reason.
He wants to pave the way for his son, win the imperial examination in the future, and rise step by step, glorifying his ancestors!
Peng Xi interrupted with a smile, and took a few steps forward, gently touching Pan Enhui's head, "How can you accept Enhui as a goddaughter, how can you do it without some blood?"
Buying some silk is a welcome gift from my father to his goddaughter.
Favor, do you like it or not? ”
"I like it." Pan Enhui has a good impression of Peng Xi, so he let Peng Xi touch his head instead of dodging, and enjoys it very much, there is only one man in the family, but he has never been close to her, and other men can't touch her easily.
So this is the first time that Pan has been so close to a man since he can remember.
The feeling is fresh.
And as long as it's a girl, there's no one who doesn't like beautiful dresses, and she naturally does the same, nodding her head again and again.
"Ha Luha, if you like it!" Peng Xi smiled heartily.
When Hu Bao heard Pan Wenchang's stop sound, he didn't stop at all, and went straight away.
Judging from Pan Wenchang's treatment of his daughter like this before, what good materials can he buy for Pan Enhui to make dresses?
And if you dress indecently, it will embarrass Peng Xi.
The important thing is Peng Xi's face, not whether Pan Enhui is dressed well or not.
Hu Bao went to buy clothes, and Pan Wenchang led the way, leading Peng Xi and others all the way to Shanwei Building.
Pan Enhui watched them leave, but a few people didn't bring them, Peng Xi accepted her as her goddaughter with ulterior motives, she didn't really like her, she didn't have clothes to go out to meet people, Peng Xi was particular about her identity, and she would never take her to embarrass herself.
Pan Wenchang didn't notice his daughter's look at all.
Along the way, Pan Wenchang was smiling.
has a relationship with Peng Xi, and he can be regarded as having a way and a backer.
Shanwei Building, as the name suggests, the restaurant's dishes are mainly game.
In this part of northern Xinjiang, it is not difficult to catch wild animals in summer and autumn, so the price of wild meat is low, but the chefs in Shanweilou have excellent skills, so the taste is very good.
As soon as Pan Wenchang stepped into the door of the restaurant, he beckoned the guys to serve wine and food.
The dishes were ordered on a table, and the wine was served on the altar first.
Peng Xi tasted good and was quite satisfied.
However, when he came to Pan Wenchang this time, Peng Xi's purpose was not to recognize his daughter and deceive him into having a banquet for nothing.
After eating a half-full, Peng Xi drank a few more glasses of wine, and finally got to the point, "Mr. Pan, this official looks at Lingtong County, this is definitely a big deal, and he actually rebuilt the whole city, so that all the people live in a new house, how much does it cost!" ”
"What Master Peng said is very true." The achievements of Lingtong County are in front of him, and Pan Wenchang has also contributed, so he is a little proud to mention this matter, but he also told the truth, "In fact, when Lord Jing proposed to rebuild the city, the lower officials were not very optimistic about Lu."
How much money does it cost to think about it?
But I didn't want the river to start, and many people rushed to see the list of texts, and the county was lively.
The people who go to work are paid every day, and the number of people is increasing, so many wealthy merchants have taken a fancy to the business opportunities and have come to buy shops and stores at high prices.
In just one month, the price of the shops on the street has more than doubled!
Now it's nearly five times more!
Moreover, those wealthy merchants did not hesitate to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to revitalize the business in the county. ”
Pan Wenchang didn't drink much, a few glasses of water and wine went down, and his face was red, so he talked a lot, and he talked endlessly.
"Who put that big sum of money into the beginning?" Peng Xi asked puzzled.
"I don't know who the official is, but Master Jing only said that a friend funded it." Pan Wenchang immediately replied with a look of admiration: "I thought that person was a fool, but now it seems that people are the real long-term vision!" ”
"How?" Hu Bao asked curiously.
Halfway through the meal, Hu Bao had already bought clothes and sent them to the Pan family's house, and then hurried over.
"The early renovation is indeed to invest a lot of money, but before the reconstruction, the houses were uneven, and the land was wasted in a large area.
But now, the price of private housing has nearly tripled.
These empty houses are all owned by Lord Jing's friend. ”
Hearing Pan Wenchang say this, Peng Xi was shocked.
This time he came to Lingtong County to make a lot of money, if this is the case, then it will be difficult to occupy some real estate!
"What about the shops on the street?" Wei Yong asked urgently.
"That friend of Master Jing is also generous, willing to spend money, enough atmosphere! All the shops on the street should be converted into two or three storeys, and then one of the first floors should be returned to the previous owner, and the surplus should still be sold. Pan Wenchang shook his head, looking very proud, as if he was the person behind the silver investment, "Those redundant shops and storefronts are naturally friends of Lord Jing." ”
The reason why Pan Wenchang has such a statement is naturally made up by Jiang Long.
Jianglong is the Lingtong County Commander, and with this identity, it is really not good to invest in business here.
Otherwise, when he invests money, others will call him stupid, and when he gets it, he will attract people's eyes.
So I made up a friend.
Now Hou Jiang often appears in front of people, and he appears in front of people as the manager of Jiang Long's friend.
Hearing Pan Wenchang say this, Peng Xi and the others all sank their faces.
It's not easy!
After the reconstruction, all the redundant houses and shops in the entire Lingtong County were all Jianglong's friends.
Want to dominate some ...... can invest in such a large amount, and his identity is certainly not simple.
From Jiang Long's identity, it is speculated that the other party is likely to be the son of a wealthy family in the capital.
And it is very likely to be from a top wealthy family in Daqi!
Such a character is so easy to offend?
Moreover, Jiang Long's identity is not simple, Jing Xian once made a name for himself in Northern Xinjiang, and left a huge number of contacts.
Captain Jiang Qi before, didn't he help Jiang Long?
Otherwise, last time Pang Chengan wanted to drag Jiang Long in Wangsha City, Jiang Long couldn't get out easily.
wanted to occupy the real estate of the merchants, but Jiang Long couldn't agree.
Peng Xi and the others looked ugly, but Pan Wenchang didn't notice it, and was still talking there.
"Master Peng!" Seeing that the oil and water were about to be gone, Wei Yong eagerly leaned over and said eagerly in a low voice.
Hu Bao, Zhao Ping, and the other three officials were also anxious to fix their eyes on Peng Xi's face.
There was an unexpected situation, and Peng Xi had to come out.
Peng Xi frowned tightly, waved his hand lightly, and motioned for everyone to eat, while he secretly carefully pondered and pondered the powerful relationship in his heart.
But where can Wei Yong and the others eat?
The chopsticks were moving, but they didn't feed them to their mouths.
Just poking the dishes around.
From time to time, he would raise his eyes to glance at Peng Xi's face.
Pan Wenchang was happy and in high spirits today, so he drank a few more glasses, and it wasn't until a long time later that he realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the box.
But I don't know what the reason is.
I wanted to ask, but he was in awe of Peng Xi.
Wei Yong and other officials, he was not familiar with it.
I really couldn't ask, so I just shut up and fell silent.
After a while, Peng Xi made up her mind.
His eyes moved to Pan Wenchang's face, "Mr. Pan is not young anymore, but he only has one daughter under his knees, if he can't take a concubine and give birth to a son, wouldn't he have to cut off the incense?"
This is a big unfilial piety to the ancestors of the Pan family! ”
"Who says it isn't!" In one sentence, Peng Xi said that Pan Wenchang's heart was in his heart, and he felt something, that is, Pan Wenchang forgot the previous dullness, "I don't hide it from Master Peng, the previous official family was poor, and he really couldn't afford to accept a concubine."
But now......" Speaking of this, Pan Wenchang had a smile on his face, "Since Lord Jing took office, the money issued by the imperial court can be received in full and on time, and after the river starts, I can get a large amount of subsidies every month."
As long as he saves for a few more months, the old man will be able to take a concubine. ”
There are two types of concubines: good concubines and cheap concubines.
Cheap concubines are basically all purchased with money, and the husband's family has the concubine's deed of sale in his hands, and the life and death of the concubine are directly in the hands of the husband's family.
There is also a situation that the son of a wealthy family is also a concubine if he is accepted as a concubine by the owner.
Good concubines have free autonomy, but concubines are concubines, and their husbands can abandon them at will.
Although the status of women is low in this era, the wife is not divorced for no reason.
If you want to give up, you have to have a good reason.
For example, he committed one of the seven outs.
In addition, if the wife is divorced, she can still get back the dowry of the year.
But the good concubine is completely different, if the husband's family wants to give up, it should not be considered a retirement, because the concubine has no status at all, even if it is a good concubine.
The husband's family just kicked people out of the gate.
No reason at all!
Pan Wen has grown older, although he has an official size, it is not easy to take a concubine.
So the best way to do it is to spend money on one.
There are many poor families in northern Xinjiang, and they don't have to worry about not being able to buy them if they have money.
