Chapter 712: From Lingnan
"By the way, Brother Ji, what are you going to do in the capital this time? Trade? ”
Zhao Dahu has observed, Ji Yushen only brought accompanying items when he went out this time, and there were some domestic servants accompanying him, and he didn't bring much goods.
It's not like you're going to sell something.
Ji Yushen said: "No, go to visit the old man." ”
"Brother Ji, do you still have relatives and friends in the capital?"
Zhao Dahu laughed, "I'll just say that you don't look like a person who has never seen the world, it turns out that you have even mixed up in the capital." This is not authentic, you haven't told me, anyway, which official are you going to vote for? ”
Today's Queen Mother is a Lingnan person, and there is also a Lingnan person when the court elder.
In recent years, the atmosphere of Lingnan scholars studying has become better and better, and there are more and more people who go to Beijing to take the examination as officials.
Ji Yushen smiled.
"It's a bit of a ...... Official. ”
Ji Yushen has never spoken publicly, and those who can be called big officials by him must at least be above the third grade in the court, right?
Zhao Dahu was a little surprised, seeing that Ji Yushen was becoming more and more unpredictable, "What kind of official is it?" ”
After speaking, I remembered that Ji Yushen had always disliked to publicize his affairs to outsiders, and he always kept it secret everywhere, and he might not be willing to say this.
changed the topic, "Hey, it's a big official anyway." When the time comes, I will follow Brother Ji to the capital to see the world, maybe I can see what the officials and masters of the court look like, and it will be an eye-opener! ”
Ji Yu knew that he was considerate of his own mood so he stopped talking, and he was slightly grateful in his heart, "Well, if there is a chance at that time, I will definitely introduce you to you." ”
……
After a long journey, Zhao Dahu and the brothers of the dart game are all martial arts practitioners, and they can still bear it.
But it was Ji Yushen's servants who couldn't hold it anymore, Zhao Dahu was worried about Ji Yushen, but he didn't expect to look at him who was the weakest.
First, his carriage had been carefully remodeled, and it was not hot or stuffy, and it was padded underneath it, so that it would not bump even if the road was rough.
More importantly, he is determined and unfazed.
Zhao Dahu looked at it coldly, Ji Yushen didn't seem to go to Beijing to join relatives and friends this time, his family had a lot of money and didn't need to ask for someone at all, and it didn't look like he was going to visit his friends.
If you are an ordinary friend, you don't have this attitude of refusing to take a break without trekking away.
This must be a very important friend to Ji Yushen.
Zhao Dahu secretly thought in his heart, Ji Yushen is a mysterious person, although he is a scholar and a Confucian businessman, he is unfathomable, and he doesn't know what kind of turmoil he has experienced.
This time I went to the capital, I'm afraid it was not as ordinary as I imagined......
When they arrived in the capital, the prosperous atmosphere suddenly opened the eyes of these countrymen.
Standing on the street of the capital, Zhao Dahu couldn't help but sigh that he had been traveling south and north for many years, but he had never been to the capital, and the past days were simply in vain.
The atmosphere in the capital was unheard of and unseen, and he was amazed and delighted.
In the past, he was a god of killing, and it was inconvenient for him to come to the important land at the feet of the Son of Heaven such as the capital, but now he is also an upright businessman, so there is no need to be taboo.
It's just that he and his brothers still feel out of place when they stand on the street.
The capital is prosperous, and even the small people of Shengdou are quite rich, and the people on the streets come and go, all of them are silk and satin, and their waists are wearing jade, and many of them are young men wearing cyan cotton gowns-
It looks particularly suave and elegant.
Zhao Dahu looked down and saw that he was dressed in a martial artist's short fight, and the brothers were almost the same, out of place with the crowd.
At first glance, it looks like a native old hat from the countryside.
Sure enough, someone saw them pointing and pointing, and covered their mouths and snickered.
Zhao Dahu's face was red to the root of his ears, and he saw someone come up to talk, "Where are you from?" Merchants or gangs? ”
The brother on the side replied unconvinced, "We are from Lingnan to walk darts, do you know the Humen Dart Bureau?" ”
As soon as the person who spoke heard this, his expression immediately changed, with some respect.
Zhao Dahu's face looked better.
It seems that his reputation as a Humen dart game is still quite loud, and even the people in the capital know it.
The passer-by who didn't want to talk arched his hand, "It turned out to be guests from Lingnan, what are you here for?" Is it to do business or to find relatives? Seeing that you are also unfamiliar with life, let me show you the way! ”
Zhao Dahu: "......"
It turns out that people have never heard of the Humen Dart Game, and they look at them differently, just because of the word "Lingnan".
It is no wonder that the Queen Mother is a native of Lingnan, and now there are many officials in the court who are born in Lingnan.
Who knows what kind of relatives this group of rustic-looking countrymen will have?
People are also kind, Zhao Dahu is not good at seizures, he only snorted and walked away, and the person who talked to him looked inexplicable.
It was Ji Yushen's servant who went up and distributed a bag of pastries to him, "This minister, thank you for your kindness, we know the road ourselves." This is a specialty we brought from Lingnan, a little careful. ”
In this way, the passer-by showed his smile again, and happily took the small bag of pastries, "It's easy to say, in the capital, as long as you say that you are from Lingnan, no one will embarrass you!" ”
About five years ago, the maternal uncle of the Queen Mother took her cousin to Beijing to take the exam, and by the way, she joined her family, and at first she was also regarded as a hillbilly.
Later, the hillbilly father and son, one became an old feudal monarch living in the Gaomen compound, and the other became the youngest pavilion elder in the dynasty.
From now on, who would dare not look at the people from Lingnan differently?
……
Ji Yushen's people led everyone forward.
Zhao Dahu said: "Which inn are we going to live in?" Little brother, do you know the way? ”
The servant smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, don't worry, our host has already booked a quiet courtyard, and he also ordered someone to go to Beijing in advance to clean and settle it." Let's go over now, and there will be hot dishes and hot meals. ”
Zhao Dahu was surprised when he heard this, and the brothers in those dart games were even more happy.
It's so comfortable to be able to take a break for a hot meal right away!
It seems that this Ji Dongjia is even more wealthy than they imagined, and even has a way in the capital, and he actually arranged the courtyard early, and even has servants.
Everyone drove the carriage and horses, walked through the most lively and prosperous street in the capital, when turned into an alley, not long to see a courtyard with the door open, see them, someone came forward to pick them up.
It was a servant who looked like a husband and wife, and went to the carriage to say hello, "Boss, everything is packed, please get out of the carriage." ”
There was a slight sound from the carriage - "hmm".
Immediately afterwards, the car door was opened, and a young man in a green shirt walked out of the car, like a bright moon and a clear breeze, and like a green pine and green bamboo.
The brothers of the dart game, who had not seen Ji Yushen's true face along the way, couldn't help but gasp.
