Chapter 9: First Encounter
(Ask for recommendation votes, ask for collections, ask for support, it's not easy for newcomers)
Li Zhengyang couldn't climb it, he stayed in the restaurant without face, covered his face with his sleeves and left, he knew that he would end up with this result, it was better to ask for a hundred taels of silver, Guerjia snorted: "I thought it was an ambitious and affectionate person, but I didn't know that it was an embroidered pillow." β
"Yao'er, in the future, you have to look at all people, and you have to divide people with good hearts."
Shu Yao nodded obediently, and Shuxuan asked, "Zi said?" Little sister, what did you say just now, from which book? I read through the four books of the Analects, but I haven't read them. β
Shuxuan is familiar with the subset of scriptures and history, and loves to read the most in his life, but he is not a pedantic Confucian student, and reminded Shu Yao: "Zi said that it is not allowed to be used indiscriminately, and Sage Confucius must not be offended." β
"Zi said that it must be a Confucian saint to be able to say it? What I said is not Confucius, not Mencius, but a boy and a woman, all of them, and I didn't say that it must be Confucius? β
Shuxuan, who can speak well and argue, is a subset of scripture and history, and is very speechless to his little sister Shu Yao, especially Shu Yao's serious appearance, with two curved thin eyebrows, and slightly raised eyebrows, which is very proud.
Shuyi pushed the snack box to Shu Yao, and secretly lit up his thumb, there are not many people who can block the eldest brother Shuxuan, the lazy little sister has good skills, Zhiyuan also glanced at the Guerjia clan, are you still worried about Shu Yao? It's good if others don't mess with her, Shu Yao doesn't open her mouth easily, but a mouth will definitely be a blockbuster.
Guerjia's head hurt more and more, and her daughter's temperament was like that of her husband Zhiyuan, and the edges and corners were easy to offend, "Have you eaten well?" Before dark, we have to rush back to the Duke's Mansion in the capital. β
After checking out and paying the silver, Zhiyuan asked for two more jars of thyme incense, sorted out his clothes and robes, wiped three well-maintained short beards under his chin, and returned to Beijing with his family.
In another private room in the restaurant, the young man who witnessed the whole process poured himself a drink, and a man dressed in green clothes who looked like a scholar bowed down and asked, "The slave asked people to listen and listen?" β
The young man with a delicate face paused the wine glass in his hand, "No need, look at their family is back to the capital, if their identity is enough, they will always meet." β
If the status is not high enough, what's the use of asking clearly? The scholar replied: "That girl should be a show girl from the Eight Banners, but I don't know if she is good enough to be in the draft." β
The young man put down his wine glass, "It's just an eight- or nine-year-old girl, the master values the head of the family and his wife, and his wife is a smart person. β
The scholar said yes again and again, whatever the master said, the lady, he was stunned that he didn't see her ability, the young man was shortlisted, and the folding fan knocked on the scholar's head: "Check out and go back to Beijing." β
The sun is in the west, the blue sky is rendering rolling and burning clouds, the streets of the capital are full of people, and Shu Yao, who is sitting in the carriage, is napping by the Guerjia clan, "When will it arrive?" β
"Soon, through the long cross street, in the vicinity of the Rakshasa Sea, most of the noble mansions are from the dragon into the customs, I remember accounting for most of the street, although the ancestor is greedy and lustful, making the back house smoky, full of all kinds of beauties gathered, but he is really capable, not only can he fight habitually, but also know how to operate, and laid a huge family foundation, if he did not die before entering the customs, the Duke's Mansion would not have fallen from the top nobles to the current point."
"Him?"
Guerjia said: "It's your Amma's Marfa, speaking of which he is a legendary figure, is the only military general who is reused by Prince Dolgon, but can escape the liquidation of the first emperor, the Empress Dowager has personally mentioned the plaque, you Marfa can attack the lord, thanks to the old lady who went through the door of the Empress Dowager, although the old lady is the Gege of the idle Baylor of the clan, but it does not give benefits, the clan is one hundred and eighty, the Empress Dowager can still remember?" β
"The benefits? The Empress Dowager will not lack benefits, she is the most noble woman in the world. Shu Yao glanced out casually through the gap in the car curtain, there were many fewer pedestrians, and this house was extremely prosperous in Beijing in later generations.
"The old lady is a shrewd person, knowing that she can't keep the glass, perfume, soap and so on, so she took the initiative to dedicate it to the Internal Affairs Office, the Queen Mother is happy, the Duke's Mansion does not downgrade the level of the lord, you Marfa is now a first-class duke, and caught up with the enclosure after entering the customs, the old lady's vision is good to circle a lot of fields and barren mountains, plus the Queen Mother pity the Duke's Mansion people spend a lot of money, and reward several shops, which makes the Duke's Palace income retained."
"Glass? Soap? All made by the ancestors? β
Guerjia said: "So the ancestor is a genius. β
"Oh." Shu Yao answered, shaking off the thoughts in her head, "Are we short of silver?" β
Shu Yao rarely cares about the income in the house, glass, soap can be sold for silver, in the previous life as a science genius Shu Yao can make mirrors and other more items, from the Guerjia clan's words Shu Yao can feel that she is uneasy, for the Amma brother suspense, although the mainstream in this life is Shinong industry and commerce, but it is difficult to move an inch without silver, the relatives who come to fight the autumn wind are eye-catching, Shu Yao wants to help the family as much as he can, the radish of the space bracelet is not valuable, when can he grow ginseng medicinal materials worth silver, Shu Yao still doesn't know, maybe Shu Yao will not be able to rise to the level of being able to grow ginseng in this life, I'm too tired to farm the gods.
"Yao'er, do you remember if your wealth is not exposed?"
"Hmm."
It seemed that there was no shortage of silver, Shu Yao stretched her waist, and the carriage stopped slowly, "Madam, the girl's Duke's Mansion has arrived." β
The Guarjia clan opened the curtain and was stunned, the middle door of the Duke's Mansion was wide open, the people of the porter were neatly dressed, the clothes were new, the fabrics were exquisite, the Guarjia clan was eye-catching, the Duke's Mansion was renovated, the family of meritorious inheritance was rich and noble, and the Guarjia clan frowned, could it be that the news of her enlightenment was wrong?
Guerjia saw two middle-aged men in their thirties walking out of it, according to the rare impression, tall and upright, with a slight hooked nose was Shu Mulu Zhicheng, who was raised in front of the old lady as a sister-in-law, and the other fat and rich smiling was the fourth brother Shu Mulu Zhihao.
Guerjia grabbed Shu Yao, shook his head and said softly: "We can't move, let's see how you Ama responds." β
"Are they the third and fourth uncle?"
Guerjia's eyes flashed fiercely, and he was full of interest, "As soon as I returned to Beijing, the Duke's Mansion put on this grand battle, they were smarter than I expected, and Ma Wei couldn't catch up with the brotherhood he showed when he met him coldly, they are to see if you Ama can return to Beijing with the help of nobles, and plan to find out our backstage." β
"Are they afraid that Amma will compete with them for the title?"
"Of course I'm afraid, before you Ama returned to Beijing, the official residence was four grades, and his political achievements were so outstanding that he had to be valued by the top of the peak, and after reporting to the Ministry of Officials, he would be promoted by at least half a grid, and he would enter the ranks of the three grades, and he had reported in front of the emperor. The three-room master is just a hereditary idle position, and he has been in the capital for more than ten years or is still a fourth-class product, not to mention the four-room, go through the door to mix a third-class shrimp, and you Ama first moved, and then the official down-to-earth promotion gap is too far, although the raid is your Marfa to ask for the title, but the old lady who has no son-in-law, even if the three-room is raised as a son-in-law, it depends on whether the emperor can approve it, you Ama don't want to compete with them, but they don't necessarily have to be wary. β
The more Guerjia spoke, the more excited they became, "If they act too perversely, what if I help you Ama take the title?" Ducal PalaceΒ·Β·Β· HmphΒ·Β·Β· It doesn't matter who is in charge. β
