Chapter 74: Meeting the Father at the Guild Hall

Liu Jin left with a stomach full of grievances.

Zhengde is determined to take the red face into the leopard room, if he opposes it, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will stand on the side of the ministers. With the urine nature of those Wenchen, they will definitely support it vigorously.

Liu Jin's heart was heavy, and seeing that Jian Ning's favor seemed to have no possibility of reversal, he began to wonder whether to ease the relationship.

Those rumors are not painful for Jian Ning, her books are still selling well, and many people have even come out to reprimand the rumors.

Jian Yunshu already has a certain reputation, and this recognition makes it difficult for Liu Jin to accept. Those stories are pretty good, but what's worth pursuing?

Liu Gonggong doesn't know the fan effect, so he naturally can't understand the thoughts of fans.

On the second day, Gonggong Liu tried to put on a smiling face, but was told that Jian Yunshu had gone out to play. Gonggong Liu, who was in the air, was suddenly furious, but he couldn't attack, so he had to leave a message, let people go home, and send someone to come and make a sound.

The new little guy sent Gonggong Liu away tremblingly, and he found more and more that his new master had great powers.

Not to mention how the little guy sighed here, and Jian Ning saw that the weather was slightly cool today, so she wanted to go out and take a walk.

Hu Yanshu moved quickly and had already set up a storefront near the guild hall. The owner of this shop gambled and lost all his money, so Hu Yanshu bought this shop in a prime location at a very cheap price.

The guild hall is a safe place for travelers from all provinces and regions across the country to Beijing, and most of the students participate in the imperial examination. The guild halls concentrated in the Chongwen district in later generations made ordinary hutongs no longer simple, and commerce flourished.

The Changzhou Hall is located here, and some Changzhou students or Changzhou officials and generals will also come to stay here.

According to the address given by Hu Yanshu, Jian Ning quickly found the bookstore with the help of the old Beijing helper at home.

The shop is selling pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and there is no need to change it, just change the signboard, and you can operate it with some books.

Looking at the signboard that had not yet been hung up, exuding the fragrance of paint, Jian Ning pursed her lips and smiled.

Baiwenzhai is still Baiwenzhai, and a sense of intimacy arises spontaneously.

Jian Ning entered the store, and an old man inside greeted him, and a local voice sounded in his ears, "But Mr. Bai Xiaosheng?" ”

Jian Ning nodded and saluted, "Old man, is your master here?" ”

"Childe has an order, if Mr. arrives, let the old man take you to the hall."

"To the guild?"

Jian Ning was slightly surprised, but she didn't say much.

Today, I am dressed in men's clothes, so it is convenient to go to the club. After following the old man across a street, he arrived at the Changzhou Hall.

The Changzhou guild hall is a little plain, and it even looks a little shabby compared to other guild halls. Probably the literati of Changzhou did not care much about these, there are very few carved beams and paintings, but the interior decoration is quite elegant, very clean and refreshing.

Most of the halls were built by villagers with raised funds, and their purpose was to facilitate their neighbors, and the idea of Changzhou people to pay attention to practical results was set from the time of Jizi.

With the old mother, Jian Ning of the little maid seemed to be quite concerned, and someone whispered after walking a few steps, "Which son's son is that?" Are you here to study? ”

"It must be a rich family, and I don't know which family it is."

After that, the curious eyes fell on Jian Ning again, only to feel that this son was very beautiful and elegant, and couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart: What a beautiful person.

Janine smiled at the gaze of the others. They are all fellow villagers, and they feel much more friendly when they look at it. People who don't wander around the field probably find it difficult to understand the preciousness of the local sound.

Passing through the slightly narrow aisle, at the end of the aisle, the old man stopped and shouted outside: "Childe, Mr. Jin Ling is here." ”

"Hurry up, please."

The door was opened, and Hu Yanshu's smiling face appeared in front of him, "Yun Shu, are you here?" ”

Jian Ning nodded, "Why is my brother in the guild hall?" ”

"Knowing that you are coming today, many scholars in Beijing have come to pay a visit."

"Huh?"

Jian Ning was a little surprised, but after Hu Yanshu stepped into the room, he saw a group of people dressed in different clothes get up and salute, "Mr. Jin Ling is polite." ”

Jian Ning's eyes showed puzzlement. Hu Yanshu should know that she doesn't like these social interactions, and besides, she is a daughter in the end, and she will be criticized if she dares to see people.

Although she was confused, she still returned the salute and said in her hometown: "I have seen all the little officials." ”

"Yun Shu, when I learned that you were humiliated by that dog thief in Beijing, these townsfolk elders were quite indignant. Tomorrow my bookstore will open, and they are here to stand in solidarity with you. ”

Jian Ning immediately understood Hu Yanshu's intentions. Looking at the dress of the people here, you can see that they are all from wealthy families, and the children of the Wang clan are unknown. This kind of arrangement is to "form a party" against Liu Jin, so as not to be too arrogant.

This is also common sense. In the era of inconvenient transportation information, nostalgia is the highest in addition to family affection, which is more reliable than the friendship of classmates. Officialdom grouping according to region is not the first case in the Ming Dynasty, but has existed since ancient times.

Although she is a woman, she was brought to the capital by the Son of Heaven to represent the face of her hometown fathers, and she did not have the truth of being bullied. Hu Yanshu summoned people to him, and he wanted these people to have a relationship with him, thinking that he wanted to further stabilize the relationship.

A trace of emotion flowed through her heart, she bowed and said: "How can Jian Yunshu He De be so concerned by the elders of Xiangzi, I don't know what to say, I just wait for the next day to get out and return to my hometown, and invite everyone to thank you." ”

"Sir is so gracious! You and I are fellow countrymen, and we are also Mr. book lovers, so there is no reason to watch the eunuch bully you! ”

"That's a good point! There are a lot of rumors in the market these days, and they all say that you suggested that Your Majesty open a private sea trade, which is really ridiculous, how can others know about the conversation between the Son of Heaven and Mr.? It must be a villain rumor! ”

"That's right! I have also been to my husband's house, although I have never been there, but from the outside, it is strictly abiding by the law of the country, how can I encourage Your Majesty to open up sea trade?! ”

Embarrassment flashed on Jian Ning's face, and he was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice: "Actually...... It is indeed me who encouraged His Majesty to open the sea trade in the name of the inner court......"

"What?!"

Everyone was shocked, and then a young man with a round face and a blue collared shirt said, "Oops! Sir, how can you be so confused?! We don't have any maritime merchants in Changzhou, but there are mostly maritime merchants in Songhu and Zhejiang, don't you want to offend them here? ”

"Isn't it?!"

The topic was too terrifying, and a group of scholars were stunned, and directly analyzed the pros and cons, and the relationship was a lot closer.

Jian Ning sat down, and after a long while, he said, "Everyone, have you ever read the history of the Song Dynasty?" ”

"It's nature!"

The round-faced son is surnamed Yang, his name is Huan, and he knows the new, he is a descendant of the Northern Song Dynasty philosopher Yang Shi, and he is also a child of the Wang family for more than 100 years, and his vision is not ordinary.

He stomped his foot, "Everyone knows the benefits of opening the sea, but no one dares to move, is it not clear that Mr. is so smart?" We are familiar with the history of the Song Dynasty and know what Mr. means, but how can those who can benefit allow others to touch their interests? Now there have been many rumors in the market, and we have fought back in the past few days, but it is foreseeable that once His Majesty decides to carry out maritime trade in the name of the inner court, he will be resented by the maritime merchants, and their relationship with the court is complicated, and Mr. will be implicated at that time. ”

"Huh."

Jian Ning chuckled, "That's not going to happen, rumors are just rumors, I'm just a woman, where can I give Your Majesty any good words?" When I see the benefits, someone is crazy, and it may not be me if I don't see someone at that time. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they understood, and couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Yes, Mr. is a woman, how can he advise His Majesty?" ”

"I understand, no wonder Liu Jin pushed the matter of going south, but Zhang Yong took the initiative to ask for a decree to go south, hehe, these two have been incompatible for a long time, I'm afraid there is a good show."

Everyone began to talk again, and they all had a good impression of Jian Ning's honesty. Today, the people who can enter this room are naturally chosen, and they must have outstanding family backgrounds and noble character, in short, they are all reliable people.

After discussing for a while, the group felt that Jian Ning's plan was really clever. It's Chi LL's impotence, it depends on whether you Liu Jin can hold yourself down when the time comes.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

A short man stood up, "That Liu Jin is as greedy as gluttony, and the northerners of this sea trade are not clear, but the people in the south of the Yangtze River are clear." There are a lot of sea merchants in Wusong, porcelain, silk is difficult to support, when I buy goods from Changzhou, I don't know how much silver is traded every year. History books are dead after all, if Liu Jin sees his interests, it may be difficult to escape his temptation! Brilliant plan, brilliant plan! It's a pity, if Mr. is a man, he will be a big humerus for me, it's a pity, it's a pity! ”

Jian Ning said modestly: "I can't afford to be praised by Gongzi Yun, Gongzi is Sima Qian's grandson, after Yang Yun, the minister of the Western Han Dynasty, but the blood of Taishi Gong is flowing in his bones, and you don't dare to hold it up at present." ”

Yun Hui laughed and said, "Mr. said that it was a joke, it is unfilial piety to change the surname of the ancestors in order to avoid disasters, ashamed, ashamed." ”

Although his mouth was modest, Jian Ning could see his pride. Also, if you have such an ancestor, you will be proud, right? Especially in this year, which is quite important to the door.

"The world changes, every time a wicked person is in power, and the war disaster is prosperous, there is a matter of changing the name and surname, hasn't my surname also changed?"

Everyone laughed, and Yang Huan said: "Listening to Mr. this, it seems that he has studied the surname quite a lot." ”

"I know a few."

Jian Ning smiled faintly, "The days and nights are long, three meals a day, except for writing books, you always have to find something to do, and reading books is a blissful thing." ”

Everyone admired for a while, "Mr. doesn't need to do business, it is also known as moving me from north to south, but he can still study with peace of mind, I admire it!" ”

As he spoke, he saluted respectfully, and his face showed admiration.

This is a moral era, although there are many false Taoism, but there are also many gentlemen, who are cautious and studious, and will be respected wherever they go.

Jian Ning hurriedly returned the salute and said: "All the brothers are older than me, I can't bear to always salute, so it's better to be casual, otherwise I'm afraid that I won't be able to get out of this door, and my lifespan will be lost." ”

"Hahahaha!"

Now everyone couldn't help it, hugged their stomachs and laughed, Yang Huan laughed so much that tears came out, "Mr. really knows how to laugh, and death can also be used to ridicule, I admire it!" ”
