Early Spring in Gangnam (XII) (Part II)

At the beginning, Wang Xiaohua's woman was not the rough man of Rayong, but the eldest young master of his Shi family, Yongxing. Shi Lao Tang Master realized the predicament of the Shi family in Jiangnan very early, and in addition to martial arts when Yongxing was very young, he invited a famous teacher to teach qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and studied literature and history under the name of Confucianism, so that he could have the opportunity to enter the circle of gentry under the guidance of his mentor. Of course, he also found an opportunity to contact people from the capital, and also had the opportunity to marry him a good family. The second Aeon is even more focused on the scientific examination of fame, and now has entered the head of the six ministries, although it is only a member of the six ranks, but someone takes care of it, and now he is only twenty-eight years old, and the future is just around the corner.

Yongxing is the head of the Shi family in the future and the master of Jishantang. Back then, Wang Xiaohua hit the idea on Yongxing, and designed to provoke the relationship between Yongxing and his wife and find an opportunity to marry into the Shi family. Although Jishantang started from the end of the micro, but the Shi family is cautious, how can the fireworks woman get started, Yongxing is also clean, and has broken free from Wang Xiaohua's entanglement many times. Wang Xiaohua also hated the Shi family because of this.

Since she joined the Great River Gang, the confrontation between the Great River Gang and Jishantang, which had been a little bit of friction, has heated up in a straight line. Originally, it was nothing for the two sides to compete to find trouble, but this woman should not be too greedy and black-hearted. I want to dominate the Great River Gang, and I want to do something in private. Some time ago at the temple fair, she came to provoke Yongxing again, when she teased Yongxing, she accidentally stimulated Yongxing's daughter-in-law, Yongxing's daughter-in-law is not young, this is the third child, she has been in a bad state since she was pregnant, and she was stimulated to move the fetal gas, causing a miscarriage.

For this reason, Yongxing specially went to his father-in-law's house to apologize, and accepted his father-in-law's instructions to set up a trap for the Dahe Gang. When he got married, Mr. Shi saw it very clearly that the other party chose Yongxing in order to win over the forces in Jiangnan and assist them in running the industry, and Jishantang also needed a backer who could be able to see the sky in the capital. Over the years, although Jishantang will still be squeezed by Sun Dufu and the Dahe Gang on the surface, it is because their backers are low-key and don't want people to know too much, in fact, Jishantang and the Shi family have quietly and rapidly grown with the support of their backers.

Wang Xiaohua, that woman doesn't know whether she is alive or dead, provokes his eldest daughter-in-law, that woman thinks that others don't know who the master behind her is, and those who have survived walking in the rivers and lakes all the year round are not stupid, and they have already found clues over the years. The backers in Beijing are also cautious people, since the people in Beijing said that they would do something to her and Sun Dufu, they must also know the master behind Wang Xiaohua. Both sides are capable of reaching the sky, and the immortals want to fight, so little ghosts like them naturally have to accompany them. After so many years of reaping the benefits, it's time to help. What's more, it's not just the Shi family that the Dahe Gang has offended, and Jishantang is not alone at this point.

Old Hall Master Shi put the hookah in his hand on the table, twisted the paper that was about to burn out in his right hand, and took out a new paper twist from the bamboo tube on the table. Hearing that it was the Sun family, not Wang Xiaohua, the hall master's movements paused slightly, and he gently twisted the paper twist back and forth in his hand. Zhou Qi knew that this was the old master's habit, and did not continue to talk and disturb. He just gently uncovered the lampshade and gave it to his master for backup. Master Shi Laotang stretched out the paper twist in his hand to the lamp and lit it, and then extinguished the flame, and a light smoke rose from the paper twist.

Zhou Qi saw that the old owner did not speak, this was waiting for him to continue: "The second lady met Li Chong today, not only mentioned that she wanted to take a stake in Li Chong's new partnership in Hangzhou, and clamored to buy a stake in the dart shop, but also used her son's name to buy a stake in the rouge gouache and Jiangnan embroidery clothing shop that Li Chong will open in the capital. In order to persuade Li Chong, he not only promised to have a few car dealerships under Li Chong's name this year, but also took a ride on himself. Li Chong responded to her falsely according to your old man's previous meaning, and said that because there are many partners, there are more than a dozen large and small owners in Hangzhou, and Li Chong only has two percent of the shares in his hands, and he can only give her two dividends of the profit of the dart store at most. There are even more shop shareholders in the capital, and she can only give her a share of the dividend. But I also told her that this year's waterway tickets are going to be more than 30%. She was originally said to be in great difficulty, but later Li Chong reminded her that now that the Dahe Gang has made such a big mistake, it is normal for the government to withhold the tickets and plan to give them less. It is also possible that Sun Dufu does not give a favor, and it is the favor that the second lady gives to Wang Xiaohua. This woman is very good and has already agreed. He also copied all the stubs of the Dahe Gang in the past year, as well as the stub base list of the official ship going out, the stub of the vehicle and ship dispatch slip of the Salt Brine Division, and the entry and exit list of the personnel of the Jiangnan Jiaofang Division in the past three years. With that, he placed a stack of papers on the table next to him. These things are internal documents of the government, and they are generally not external, but if you want to find clues, this is the best source. It is difficult for ordinary people to get it, but Second Mrs. Sun has been in the superintendent for so many years, and she always has her own way. If the people in the ministry knew that the governor's records had been copied out, Sun Dufu's official fortune would be coming to an end.

"It's really interesting to have such a brainless woman on the Sun family's stall." Old Hall Master Shi picked up the hookah again and twisted it with paper: "But she has children and daughters, although it is a little stupid to plan for her children, it is understandable." Tell Li Chong that in the future, he will use less dry shares in the shop to deal with her, and if he can, he will sell less, and try to keep the price down. He is a beautiful offspring, and it is a way to suppress this kind of half-aged. It doesn't have to be silver. This kind of woman from Qinglou, at the age of a wolf and a tiger, he can handle it very well as long as he has a little more strength. After speaking, he smiled and put the hookah on the table and picked up the paper that copied the bottom list of the entry and exit of the Jiangnan Teaching Division.

Although Zhou Qi nodded yes, he had to mourn for Li Chong. The old club is good at everything, sometimes it's just very picky, lest they don't use up their subordinates. With the appearance of Second Lady Sun, Li Chong was afraid that the time would soon come when he would be eaten up.

Old Man Shi quickly flipped through the paper, stopped on one of the pages, and nodded slightly: "This woman is still of some use." From this point of view, the surname Sun is actually better for us in terms of position. A new one, it may not be a good thing, and then we have to put a lot of effort into installing people, which is even more troublesome. ”

"But the news in Beijing said that this time the official patrol was ordered by the Queen Mother herself, and she went out of Beijing by secret order, and after coming to Jiangnan, she has been micro-obedient and low-key and hidden. Maybe I've already found out about the surname Sun and other people. Let us restrain ourselves from the capital and not fall into his eyes. And he is the son-in-law of the Chen family, so it's hard for us to meddle in his affairs. ”

Old Hall Master Shi just glanced at Zhou Qi, continued to flip through the paper bundle in his hand, and continued: "We may not need to interfere. Jiangnan is the money bag that many people are staring at, and the Queen Mother will not want chaos here. The Queen Mother has been operating in the imperial court for many years, and Jiangnan is the base camp of the Chen family, maybe she has long known the dynamics of Jiangnan, so that all parties can grow naturally, as long as one side is not too strong, this place will prosper peacefully. If one side is injured too hard, it will inevitably cause great turmoil. The big river gang made such a big move, and the patrol press didn't make any moves, which means that it is not necessary to take down the surname Sun. Maybe it's just banging and banging to make all parties feel a little more conscious. Jingzhong is only afraid that there will be a major event recently, and it is estimated that Beijing will be peaceful, so that the Queen Mother will have the time and energy to rectify the affairs in Jiangnan. ”

"In fact, there are a lot of capable people in the imperial court, although this is the foundation of the Chen family, but there is no need for the Queen Mother to worry about everything. For example, this Lord Gong. Sending a henchman and capable minister of the Queen Mother will not be enough. ”

"There are many capable people, but those who are not capable are reassuring." Old Hall Master Shi said faintly.

Zhou Qi was stunned for a moment, and nodded in submission, it was indeed difficult. What is rare in this world is loyalty, unconditional loyalty. Capable people often have their own ideas, except for the family or other interest groups that have to be tied together, to make them loyal, the conditions for fame and fortune are indispensable. Since there are conditions, there are people who can tempt them with higher conditions. Just like the second lady of the Sun family, in the eyes of outsiders, Sun Dufu gave her good conditions for heaven, but the second lady will still make a private deal with Li Chong for the sake of her children. That woman was born in Qinglou, and using her to compare her to the imperial court officials seems to be a bit of that, Zhou Qi is not only funny about his thoughts.

Seeing Old Man Shi's curious glance, Zhou Qi said what he thought just now.

Old Man Shi also chuckled: "In fact, there are some officials who are better than the women in the Qinglou." Qinglou is a clear sale, transaction. Some hypocrites are far less open than they are. With that, he put aside the roster of the Teaching Workshop Division, and picked up the transcript of the draft of the river ticket for the Great River Gang.

"If this fireworks woman in Jiangnan knew that her master was so elevating them, she would probably throw herself at your old man."

"Less poor. Copy two copies of the list of geisha sold cheaply by the Jiangnan Jiaofang Division this year, and then copy the Hualou under the name of the Dahe Gang, the list of geisha listed under the name of the Jiaofang Division this year, and the Dahe Gang's boat channel ticket for this year, and send one to the Yu family, and then send one to the Tang family's old house, and let them forward it to Tang Sangongzi. ”

"Yumen should have the means to get these, why should we give them away for nothing?"

"When the Dahe Gang didn't grow at the beginning, Yu Lao'er never went against us, and now that the Dahe Gang is so strong, Old Man Yu didn't think about encroaching on our territory to expand and grow, on the contrary, he restrained his subordinates and coexisted peacefully with us, just looking for trouble with the Dahe Gang. This kind of person is easy for us to get along with, and only with them can we be truly calm in Jiangnan. ”
