Chapter 458: Carry a black cauldron

The reason why Qi Siyu was able to arrange for Du Zheyan's father to go to the county to be the chief bookkeeper was naturally not only Qi Yuandao, a backer, and his father who was far away in the capital. The Qi family has lived here for generations, and the intricate network of relationships due to marriage and apprenticeship is their reliance and foundation. There are not only Xiao Xu in the government office, but also some minor officials who are not in the stream, all of whom have the in-laws of the Qi family.

Therefore, Qi Siyu went to the yamen, and in less than a cup of tea, he found out the name of the owner of the teahouse: Du Chen's.

"Not Du Jinning?" Qi Siyu came with great interest, but he didn't expect to see such a name, and he couldn't help but be disappointed. But......

"Wait, this Du Chen is also surnamed Du?" Qi Siyu said to the little official in charge of household registration, "Find out who this is." ”

The little official got the orders of his boss, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he picked up the file and flipped through it, and said: "The original name of this teahouse was Du Jinning, and it was recently changed to Du Chen's name. They are mother and son, from Lishui County......"

"I knew it." Du Zheyan tapped the table, "I knew it was Du Jinning." ”

Qi Siyu frowned and looked at the little official; "When did the teahouse change to Du Chen's name?"

The little official flipped through it again and told Qi Siyu; "Three months ago."

"How long has this teahouse been open?"

"I opened it two years ago."

"What other industries does this Du Jinning or Du Chen have under their names?" Qi Siyu asked again.

"Du Jinning also has a big mansion in Hulu Lane under his name, and there are two small courtyards near Gongyuan Street and Fuxue, and there are no others. In addition to several Boyue teahouses under Du Chen's name, there are also several bookstores in Fucheng. The little official said honestly.

Qi Siyu's brows furrowed even tighter.

He raised his head and glanced at Du Zheyan.

Du Zheyan understood, and felt that he had nothing to ask, so he said goodbye with Qi Siyu.

When they went out, the two simply went to Du Zheyan's newly opened teahouse and sat down, Qi Siyu asked; "What are you going to do?"

In his opinion, not to mention that Du Jinning put several stores under his mother's name very chickenly, even if it was Du Jinning's own name, they couldn't make any article with this.

After all, the Song Dynasty was not the Ming and Qing dynasties. In this era, agriculture and commerce are not emphasized, but agriculture and commerce are developed at the same time. Therefore, merchants were not as restricted and despised as the Ming and Qing dynasties. The system that the sons of merchants were not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations did not exist in this ethereal era. Therefore, even if those teahouses and bookstores are listed in Du Jinning's name, and he pays less taxes on agriculture than on business, and is classified as merchants, it will not have much impact on his future.

So he couldn't figure out what Du Zheyan wanted to do.

"Do you know why the business of this Boyue teahouse and bookstore is so good?" Du Zheyan asked.

"I don't know." Qi Siyu was really impatient with his dumb riddle-like behavior, "Don't sell it, just say what you think." ”

Du Zheyan hurriedly said: "The reason why their business is so good is because of the words "Condor Heroes" and "Dragon Babu". ”

Qi Siyu was surprised this time: "I knew this. Could it be that these words were written by their books? ”

Du Zheyan nodded: "Yes." ”

Qi Siyu was silent.

Qi Yuandao controlled him very strictly, he was not allowed to hang out with the gentlemen, he was not allowed to go to the Goolan tile shop, and even the time with Du Zheyan and them to go shopping and eating was not too long. So Qi Siyu didn't have the time to go to the teahouse to listen to the story. As for the script, Qi Yuandao didn't allow him to read it. Du Zheyan was worried that he would be punished by Qi Yuandao, so even if he read the script, he didn't dare to show it to Qi Siyu.

The reason why Qi Siyu knew these scripts was because he heard from his classmates in Fuxue. Some classmates are fans of these books, and every time a new book is released, they will discuss it enthusiastically, Qi Siyu has more or less heard it, and he also knows the content and popularity of this book.

But it was the first time he knew that these words came out of Du Jinning's shop.

"Do you know who wrote it?" Qi Siyu asked.

If Du Zheyan didn't mention this, he would definitely not think about it; But as soon as Du Jinning said that this was originally from Du Jinning's shop, he couldn't help but wonder if Du Jinning wrote it himself.

After all, this person is very strange, he is very talented at a young age, and I heard Du Zheyan say that he also made a garden, and the scenery inside is so beautiful that even the prefect praises it. If he came up with a few scripts, Qi Siyu felt that he could accept it.

He didn't realize it at this time, he already had the cognition of "Du Jinning is very powerful" in his mind, but he didn't realize it yet.

"Oh, senior brother, you're so powerful, you got to the point as soon as you asked." Du Zheyan looked admiring.

"What's wrong with me?" Although this sycophant was comfortable, Qi Siyu was still inexplicably filmed.

"That's what I'm trying to say." Du Zheyan smiled meaningfully, not daring to sell Guanzi, "We don't care who wrote this, let's put this basin on his head and say that he wrote it." Anyway, this teahouse and bookstore are his family's property, which is an indisputable fact. ”

Qi Siyu thought about it, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Good idea." ”

In this era, the people who write scripts are down-and-out scholars, and unconsciously everyone will have a kind of contempt for him when they hear someone write a script. So as soon as this news spreads, it will inevitably have a bad impact on Du Jinning's reputation.

Isn't he awesome? Didn't you take the head of the court and take the small three yuan? Didn't he take the name of his genius at the poetry meeting? Qi Siyu felt that letting Du Jinning suffer a little injury and live in a dormitory with poor conditions, or lose some money, these were not enough to relieve the hatred in his heart; Only by damaging Du Jinning's reputation and turning him from a talented man respected by everyone to a person despised by everyone can he feel comfortable.

Thinking of this, he patted Du Zheyan on the shoulder with great appreciation: "It's still your brain, come up with such a good way." Okay, you just do it. As long as I ruin Du Jinning's reputation, I won't treat you badly. ”

When Du Zheyan heard this, his face was full of surprise, and he stood up and gave Qi Siyu a deep bow: "Thank you, Senior Brother Qi." ”

Last time, he also helped Qi Siyu come up with an idea to fix someone he didn't like, and Qi Siyu found an official position for his father. If this thing is done well now, will his father be promoted?

Thinking about it like this, Du Zheyan was full of enthusiasm and went back to make arrangements.

Not to mention, this kid really deserves to be the Du family, and his brain is still very good. Last time, their family carried Du Jinning head-on, and they also moved out the Buddha of Zeng Tongju, but they didn't make Du Jinning suffer, but this time he didn't dare to carry it head-on. Their Du family has no power and power, and this time they don't take care of it, if the Qi family or the Liang family can't see it, they can be wiped out with a little finger.

In order to vent Qi Siyu's anger, it is not worth risking the Du family.
