Chapter 603: Return to the Jingshi

Yan Hong made a big fuss in Yangzhou, not only got rid of Li Wenxiu and Li Jinghu's uncles and nephews, but also took the opportunity to beat Zhang Bancheng hard, reached a temporary alliance with the Western merchants among the salt merchants, and even learned that Wei Zhijie was sick at home, and helped Xun Si, the county commander, up. This big show of hands and feet can be described as a powerful Huaiyang.

It is Wang Cuiqiao and Xue Yanniang, also known as Yangzhou Shuangjiao, who have become hot figures. There are some unclear rumors between these two people and Yan Hong, and they are widely circulated in the circle of wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou. Of course, this made many people stomp their feet and scold shamelessly, but it made many people pay more attention to these two women. With the appearance of these two people, who originally lived in Yangzhou, they inevitably had some different thoughts in life. However, since the two of them knew that Yan Hong was forbidden, those salivating businessmen had to dispel this thought.

Wang Cuiqiao and Xue Yan opened a salt number, but they actually also operated silk and southern goods. In particular, Wang Zhi and others hijacked the treasure at sea, and they also had to get rid of it. Now don't look at them being recruited, that means that they can't come to plunder the Ming Dynasty again, and at sea, if they occasionally do something unproductive to the ships of other countries, it will not be a big problem. And if you want to get rid of the things you can get, Wang Cuiqiao's salt number is undoubtedly the best choice.

Yan Hong went to the south of the Yangtze River this time, and the entourage of the Xungui family originally went to Nanjing after the entrenchment was finished, and they also saw that this was a business opportunity, and they took out money one after another, expressing their willingness to buy shares. Yan Hong is also generous, he doesn't want money, and each family gives away a number of dry shares. Although these nobles no longer have authority, they still have a position after all, and these many nobles are invested in the alliance, and the energy represented behind the king and Mo Yan. It is also necessary to make the local government and businessmen in Yangzhou more fearful. Don't dare to fight at will.

That's it. In the Huaiyang business community, Yan Hong can be regarded as a force that has supported himself. Although the backer behind this power is still himself, with the cleverness of Wang Cuiqiao and Xue Yan, ordinary businessmen may not be able to catch up, so if you want to make a difference in Jiangnan in the future, it can be regarded as having a foundation.

Seeing that everything is about to be finished, and it is already autumn, Yan Hong wants to go out of Beijing this time. It has been half a year since the round trip of thousands of miles, and it is time to return to Beijing to pay an account to Emperor Jiajing. So he handed over all affairs with Hu Zongxian and others, and received the banquets and generous gifts of local officials and businessmen in Yangzhou and the people's umbrellas. Yan Hong's southern tour of the sealed boats was naturally returned to the sailors, as for the Galen ship obtained from the Francophiles, as well as the three ships compensated by Wang Zhi, these ships naturally did not enter Beijing with great fanfare, so as not to attract too much attention. Yan Hong rented a wharf at the mouth of the Yangtze River in the name of Wang Cuiqiao and moored. Thousands of local Jinyi guards sent additional manpower to watch day and night. Who dares to move Chief Yan with half a nail. Lawfully kill on sight!

The last time Yan Hong returned to Beijing from Shandong, he was already majestic, but this time he was even more powerful. This time, he can be regarded as temporarily solving the problem of widows who have been trapped in the Ming Dynasty for many years. If it is explained from an official point of view, since the four great Japanese robbers have recruited and destroyed them, it should be completely resolved. Coupled with the time in Jinan, Shandong Province last year, the three major tumors of the Ming Dynasty, the white lotus in the south and the north, can be regarded as Yan Hong getting rid of two tumors.

This kind of combat feats are simply unique, and there will be no one who is not open-minded to find fault. After all, Yan Hong's current identity is not only the favored grandson of the Yan family, the favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, but also the future grandson-in-law of Xu Ge. Everyone knows that Xu Jie's proposal to the Yan family is known, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military asked themselves, which idiot would refuse this kind of proposal. Let's not talk about how beautiful Miss Xu Ting looks and how virtuous and virtuous she is, but she is the power of the Xu family, and there is no reason to refuse. Therefore, most of the people in the court now regard Yan Hongnei as Xu Jie's grandson-in-law. In the past, offending the Yan Party and the Xu Party could take refuge, but now, to engage Yan Hong is tantamount to going against the Yan and Xu families, that is to be suspected of looking for death. The current topic of the civil and military forces in the court is: Where will this Yan Hong go in the future? Is it possible to retake the imperial examination and enter the cabinet to pay respects? This guy is handsome and much better than his father, but I heard that the moral article is really a mess, isn't it too child's fun to let him take the imperial examination?

Because of this kind of reliable or unreliable speculation, Yan Hong was entertained more grandly on the way back than when he went. There are more and more local products on the ship, such as gold and silver, silk and satin, medicinal herbs, etc. Even Hua and Geng's second daughter have received countless gold and silver jewelry, and they have been pulled away by many official ladies who have orders, and their sister is long and their sister is short, and they are non-stop affectionate.

Thinking about the benefits of this trip, Yan Hong lay in the cabin and couldn't help but be complacent. If you say it's a pity, that is, there is no news about perilla for the time being. But everyone is in hand, are you afraid that she can fly to the sky? Hua and Geng were fanning beside them, serving carefully. The closer they get to Jingshi, the more apprehensive they become, after all, they are going to be girls, who knows if the mother of Lu Dao is good to serve and what her temper is? They had heard a lot before that a girl from any family went to work as a maid, and because she was slept with by the master, she was sold by the master, given away or beaten to death. The two of them are not pregnant, what should I do if the master doesn't like me anymore.

At the Datong Bridge Wharf, Sun Yuerong looked anxiously and kept muttering, "Why haven't you come back yet?" Could it be that the message is wrong? ”

Zhang Qingyan comforted on the side: "Sister, don't worry, since this news came from Miss Lu, it is expected that there will be no mistake." Didn't you see that the girl of the Lu family was also there? Sun Yuerong also noticed that the maid of the Lu family, the mandarin duck who sent a message to herself, was also at the dock, and her heart was a little blocked, but after thinking about it, she felt that as long as the little wrongdoer had nothing to do, everything would be fine. Anyway, Miss Lu and Miss Xu's two daughters are competing for a husband, this matter is now an open secret in Beijing, that is, she has been asked by those young ladies of the noble family, who wants to enter the door, is there any news? This thing is really wrong, how can it be like these two young ladies who are first-class adults, but they want to be almost the same as a female thief?

Sun Yuerong is now a little pitiful to her late mother. This Yan Hongzheng's wife, although she began to be strict with herself, Sun Yuerong could see that she was actually a very timid person, for fear that her status would not be guaranteed. And for Yan Hong, Hu Wanniang is also sincere. When the former heard that Yan Hong was killed, the late mother began to eat or drink again, preparing to go on a hunger strike and martyrdom. Later, although I heard that Yan Hong was alive, her body collapsed and she had that serious illness.

And after Wanniang fell ill, Shen'er found Yan Da and Yan Er's managers a few times, but these two managers were humming, and even Yan Luo, the little manager, rarely went to Wanniang's room. If it weren't for Sun Yuerong who couldn't stand it, she went to the Ouyang family to complain, and the old lady spoke, but I was afraid that she wouldn't even call Langzhong to the late lady. Is this the treatment of the grandson of the prime minister and the wife of the four-rank civil official? Now her body is not well adjusted, and she is becoming more and more haggard.

Thinking of this, Sun Yuerong couldn't help but feel a little sad. I only hear the newcomer laughing, but I don't see the old crying. Now that the Xu Lu family is vying to marry into the Yanmen, the late mother is a stumbling block, can her fate be good? The Yan Mansion is concerned about who is his new wife, and who cares about the life and death of the old lady?

Although Sun Yuerong herself was favored by Yan Hong, she couldn't help but feel sad for her late mother. No matter what, tonight we must send the thief to stay in the room of the late mother's sister, so that they can talk about themselves. Even if you want to take a break, you also have to find a good home for your sister sister. Sun Yuerong is even in YY, if the late mother has to make room for Hugh, do you want to persuade her to go to Shandong, her father Sun Lie is leading the camp in Shandong, and it is still no problem to eat a bowl of rice, so as not to be sad in Beijing. Otherwise, just put yourself in the middle and see if Wanniang is willing to marry her godbrother He Dayong, although Brother Dayong looks stupid, he is actually not confused about big things, and he is also a straight intestine, and he will not be as attentive as Yan Hong, a thief......

Sun Yuerong was running horses with her mind full, and only heard Zhang Qingyan say: "Sister, the boat is coming." Sun Yuerong turned around at this time. Sure enough, I saw several official ships flaunting their flags and slowly approaching the shore. The Jinyi guards, who were originally on guard around the Chase Bridge, immediately had a team of people walk to the dock and line up around the wall, leaving only a passage in the middle. Then the big ship moored and lowered the ship's plank. Sun Yuerong was tall and long-legged, and found a few boxes to step on, and saw clearly that Yan Hong was wearing a wingless black veil and a red cloak on his body, and with the support of two beauties, he walked out of the cabin and stepped off the gangplank.

"This guy." Sun Yuerong's heart was sour, and then it was sweet: no matter what, he finally came back alive, just alive. She jumped off the box and rushed over, shouting, "Master." ”

Those brocade clothes also recognize her identity, who would dare to stop this rouge tiger? One point left and right, let Sun Yuerong in. When Yan Hong saw Sun Yuerong, he didn't care about any style and appearance, so he shook off the second daughter who was supporting him, opened his arms, and shouted: "Yuerong." The two of them hugged each other tightly in front of the public, all kinds of grievances, thousands of lovesickness, all in this embrace.

"Hey, Yuerong, it's not good to blame me, it's hard for you." Yan Hong couldn't think of any better explanation, except for Xia Zisu, Chrissy, and Wang Cuiqiao, Xue Yan and others not to mention, there were two women in front of him alone, and I don't know how many Lu Dao there will be in the future. For example, at this moment, he is not far away, his eyes are circulating, and he is looking at Zhang Qingyan here with affection. This can't control the problem of Xia Shen, and Yan Hong has no excuse. It's better to simply admit it and be honest.

Although Sun Yuerong is simple, she is not stupid, she sees more and more women around Yan Hong, and she is also a little pantothenic. It's just that when he saw Yan Hong apologize like this, and thought of him almost dying this time, his heart softened, and he said softly: "As long as you don't have anything to do, anything is fine." Do whatever you want. Speaking of this, she suddenly woke up to the fact that this was still in front of the public, and hurriedly pushed Yan Hong, and she jumped backwards, bowing her head in shame and saying nothing.
