Chapter 158: Ancestral Rules
Xiao Er covered his face and staggered down, and after a while, there were heavy footsteps in the corridor, and a voice screamed: "I want to see which dog dares to pretend to be an official at the feet of the Son of Heaven!" β
The door of the private room, Xiao Er ran out just to cover up, and the speaker kicked it open again.
Qian Xiancong was already frowning, sitting at the door with a majestic face, ten years of tempering, coupled with the experience of fighting, made him angry, and there was a fierce majesty all over his body.
The person who came in was suppressed by Qian Xiancong's momentum, and the second half of the sentence was weak, he stood awkwardly, not knowing whether to apologize and turn his head and walk away, or continue to force the person away.
Sun Yanping sat downstairs, and the little two ran down, only then did they realize that something was wrong, and rushed up at this time.
Shi Donglun saw that Sun Yanping gave him a gesture, grabbed the person who rushed in from behind, and fell in the corridor: "Crash into the official driver, look for death!" β
The general saw that the private room hadn't been vacated for a while, and he couldn't wait, so he walked over with a bang, and just saw that his own person was beaten, and he was angry for a while, and reached out to grab the person on the ground, and threw it behind him: "I can't even beat a little hairy child, go home and breastfeed, you, get out!" β
Poor man, once again he was thrown to the ground.
Sun Yanping took out the majesty of the housekeeper, although he was still very young, but he looked very powerful: "Lord Qian, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, is here, Hugh is offended!" β
General Lin Jianping stood very embarrassed as if he had been immobilized, and behind him, he was followed by his fellow villagers who were about to have a banquet, as well as his two young generals.
But going back like this, he was really unwilling, remembering that the shopkeeper said that this group of people was impersonating, he gritted his teeth and plucked up his courage again: "Since Shangguan is here, Xiao naturally should go in and salute and apologize!" β
As he was talking, the boxes next door opened: "Zhang Mu'er, who are you going to apologize to?" β
It's really evil today, and the person who came out turned out to be Ouyang Gai, the governor of Xicheng District of the Five Cities Terracotta Division.
Ouyang Gaigai's original name was Ouyang Tiezhu, his hometown was from Fengxiang, where he called a madman or a fool, he just had a crazy spirit that was not afraid of death and didn't want to die, so he climbed up to a noble man in the army, and came to this day step by step.
Lin Jianping was overjoyed, and knelt on one knee with a pop: "The little one has seen Lord Dudu!" β
"What's going on?" Ouyang changed his official tone.
"Hehe, the little one wants to invite the fellow to dinner, don't you want a private room, the shopkeeper said, the person here claims to be an official, but he ......" He deliberately didn't continue.
"Oh? Impersonated? β
"Presumptuous!" Sun Yanping drank hard, "Lord Qian, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, is here, and the idle people will disperse immediately!" β
Ouyang Gaigai was stunned and glared at Lin Jianping fiercely.
The governor of the Five Cities Terracotta Division is a second-grade official, higher than Qian Xiancong, if he comes, he can easily drive Qian Xiancong out of the house, but the governor of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division is a fourth-grade official, not to mention, the military attache itself has a lower status than the civilian official, and he is not qualified to drive Qian Xiancong out.
But the status of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is special, who they want to toss, let your officials be bigger than them, and they are often dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and they can't say what they are suffering.
For example, if it is found out that a servant in your family has been abducted and trafficked, and you are slandered as a human trafficker, although it can't do anything to you, it is also a toad jumping on the surface of your feet, biting people who can't die, and your diaphragm should kill people.
Although Ouyang Gai is a small official, his momentum is not small, not to mention Qian Xiancong, an official who has no real power in Fu Erpin, or some idle nobles who are higher than him, he dares to provoke.
Anyway, Qian Xiancong didn't wear an official uniform, so he could bite the bullet and say "I don't know, I don't know" to shirk it.
For the sake of public security in the capital, who can blame a case of impersonating an official? Besides, there are people behind him.
Lin Jianping was still kneeling on the ground, and when he saw his boss's face flashing, he immediately guessed his thoughts: "Dudu, he said that he is Lord Shilang, is it Lord Shilang?" β
Ouyang Gaikai understands that Qian Xiancong must be from Weifu, who will go out and bring the official seal? Today, without physical evidence, he can turn his face and deny people, and clean up first.
"Someone! Recently, there have been criminals in the capital who have been deceiving everywhere, and the impeachment of this adult has been confirmed, and he has to come forward to pay a salute! β
Qian Xiancong was so angry that his face turned red, and he regretted that he was too reckless today, if he brought his official uniform, he would change it at this time, and see who would dare to be presumptuous?
Sun Yanping and the three Shi family disciples stood nervously at the door, stopping a few soldiers who were about to rush up: "Our family, how can you rats check it?" Today, if you dare to save the face of my family, you will be swept away by the face of Long Live Banzai, and you don't want to live, squeak. β
This is not wrong, Qian Xiancong is an official awarded by the emperor, and he is a disgrace, and he is also a person who has lost the emperor.
Ouyang Gai laughed strangely: "How about I come to check it myself?" Our official is also awarded by the emperor, all for the emperor's errand, please cooperate with this one! β
"Prince Ren has arrivedβ"
A majestic shout came from the staircase, Prince Ren, but the red man in front of the current emperor, although he was stranded in the capital, the emperor refused to remove his official position as the vanguard of the Western Xinjiang Soldiers and Horses.
Ouyang Gaigai and Lin Jianping hurriedly knelt down: "The last general will see Prince Ren's son!" β
"What's the noise?" Qian Jun stood at the top of the stairs, and the scout behind him walked around to help the master ask questions.
"My lord, some people suspect that these people are pretending to be officials......" Before Lin Jianping's words fell, he was slapped in the face.
"Lord Qian's official authority, in fact, you can offend when you are young? Get lost! "Liu Gang turned out to be a scout in the Western Xinjiang Army, because he was clever and reliable, Qian Jun came back and always took him with him.
The subordinates in the prince's mansion, except for Zheng Xin's servants in the prince's mansion who are loyal, where do the rest of the money dare to be used? On weekdays, they are followed by several guards and scouts in front of the army.
Lin Jianping was very unconvinced, feeling that Qian Junnai was a person in the army, and he was actually facing a civilian official, and when he hesitated, he was slapped in the face on the other side. If you don't leave, it will be even more embarrassing, Lin Jianping didn't dare to speak anymore, and climbed downstairs with a black face.
Ouyang Gaigai knelt awkwardly, slapping Lin Jianping's face, it was to slap him in the face, although there was someone behind him, but that person might not be able to provoke Prince Ren's son, even if he was bound to fight hard in the future, but today, they were fledgling here, and they didn't dare to plunder the tiger's whiskers here.
"Lord Ouyang, you are also an important minister of the imperial court, Lin Jianping is not sensible, why are you messing around?" Qian Jun's voice sounded low.
Ouyang Gaigai hurriedly kowtowed: "Lord Shizi, it's not that I have poured too much horse urine, and I am a little unconscious, as soon as I hear that someone is pretending, I will ...... it."
"Now, how dare you say it's for business?" Qian Jun said, and kicked Ouyang Gaigai's chest, "Covering up the subordinates to bully people, if you admit your mistake, I will not care, I didn't expect that you would die without repentance, it seems that the rights given by the imperial court, you use it like this, no wonder the security in Dongcheng is so chaotic, today, I invited Lord Qian to come over to test the water, I didn't expect to really catch a big fish, go back, wait to listen to it." β
Ouyang Gaigai also wanted to kowtow and beg for mercy, but was dragged up by several guards commanded by Liu Gang and pulled downstairs. Ouyang Gai fell to the ground like a thin muddy mess, and there was only one thought in his mind: "It's over, it's over, this life, it's over." β
The master will definitely not break his face with Prince Ren because of such a small shrimp, he has an official position to protect himself, but he has done a lot of evil, and now, he has become a commoner, and those enemies who have offended will definitely take the opportunity to settle accounts. Ouyang Gaigai struggled to return to the official office, explained the official affairs to his subordinates, and left the capital with his family before dark and fled to his hometown.
Qian Jun only heard about this the next morning, and he didn't even hand over the excerpt, but he suggested to the emperor to rectify the security of Dongcheng, or let Emperor Yongchang attach great importance to it, and sent an official from Wuju Wang Hongli to take over the errand there.
Wu Jinshi also passed the written test, and his literary talent is not bad, and he governs the place, between Wenchen and the general, and he really did a better job than Ouyang Gaigai, a madman, and Wen Jin's restaurant later benefited a lot, which is a later story.
Qian Jun didn't know that he had made this move, but he had ruined another person's big thing, and he was hated by others.
Emperor Yongchang also quickly asked people to inquire about it, Qian Xiancong went on a trip in micro-clothes on this day, and even brought Qian Wenjin in men's clothes, he immediately thought that this was an appointment with Qian Jun to go to a tryst, and the emperor naturally would not think that it was Wen Han who gave Qian Jun the news, he guessed that it was Wen Jin and Qian Jun secretly communicating with each other.
"Slut!" Emperor Yongchang was very annoyed, as if Wen Jin was already his person.
Well, it's not too much to say that, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, and the emperor doesn't want to think about it, so many men and women are his people, he can take care of it!
Fortunately, the first emperor passed away, and no marriage and fun were allowed within this year, not even engagement, otherwise, Wen Jin would have been recruited into the palace immediately and became a prisoner in the four walls.
Wen Jin didn't know about the impending crisis at all, and was busy directing Sun Yanping and them every day, decorating the hotel, and preparing to open.
Qian Jun is clear in his heart, and he has already begun to prepare.
The Qian family was led by the Emperor Shengzu, but in the final stage, he met a beautiful woman who had half his life, this woman, who had no other skills, was especially able to toss people, and the Emperor of the Holy Ancestor was like a masochist, the more the woman was accusing and dissatisfied, the more he was fart, revolving around the woman, and even putting the business aside, and as a result, he suffered a defeat, and the world was about to be pacified, and the war was full of disasters, and he forced the days of the Qian family to sit on the country for a year and a half, and he himself was in the war. He was seriously injured and eventually died.
Emperor Gaozu ascended the throne, the first thing was to kill the woman, and when the world was decided, he became the real emperor, Emperor Gaozu named his father as the Emperor of Shengzu on the one hand, and set a rule on the other hand, that is, to enter the palace to be the emperor's woman, must be the biological daughter of an official above the third grade.
The woman favored by the Holy Ancestor Emperor was a traitor under him, and when he saw that the daughter of a merchant was unusually beautiful, he adopted her as an adopted daughter and dedicated it to the emperor. Emperor Taizu set this rule in order to prevent some officials from wanting to flatter and invite favor through this way, and Qian Jun found a practical basis in most of the clan etiquette and determined that he could protect Wen Jin with this, and his heart finally fell to the ground.
Jurong officials all know this rule, Qian Jun is afraid that the emperor will do tricks, or he has to recruit Wen Jin into the palace, so he will work hard to find out these rules and regulations.
Now, there is still a question, is Wen Jin's father and mother alive? What if the emperor insisted on letting a high-ranking official say that Wen Jin was his lost daughter?
Qian Jun heard about He's confession from Wen Han's mouth, Wen Jin left her family, and she still wore such a valuable collar on her body, proving that she was born in an official eunuch, and more than ten years ago, ordinary people were not allowed to wear gold and jade.
Qian Jun didn't dare to take it lightly, in case, if it was really as the emperor wanted, he had to have a way to deal with it.
More than ten years have passed, and the He family has sold all those things properly, and there is not even a clue, and now it is really difficult to find Wen Jin's family.
But Qian Jun was not discouraged, from the day he knew that Wen Jin had picked it up, he had already sent a few scouts who were good at tracking and searching for information to Liangzhong Province.
Emperor Yongchang is also widely known in the capital, but he is concerned about the situation of a few humerus ministers and several governors who guard the capital gate on weekdays, and it is the first time that he has asked people to investigate why Ouyang Gaigai escaped.
Guo An'an, the chief eunuch in charge of the news, saw that the emperor ordered the specific affairs, and did not dare to be a little lazy, besides, the matter has passed, and the longer the time drags on, the more difficult it will be for him to find out the most real situation.
Guo Anan is also capable, and it only took one day to figure out what happened, including Qian Xiancong's family, why they appeared in that hotel.
"This Qian Xiancong wants to open a restaurant, why do you want to take his daughter out? He is an official of the Ministry of Rites, don't you know that girls should pay attention to etiquette, righteousness and shame the most? β
"This, I heard that Brother Qian Shilang is not good at housework, but Miss Qian is very proficient, their family used to be in Shanyang County, very poor and poor, it was Miss Qian who was good at financial management, and she became rich step by step, the Qian family also opened a restaurant in Minghu City, Qian Shilang's brother and nephew, I just know that there is such a thing, as for how to open it, how to operate, I don't know anything." Guo An'an also knows this question clearly, after all, the servants of the Qian family are still very messy, and they have not been completely collected by the master, and there are a few people who will say anything as long as they give some benefits.
Emperor Yongchang was very interested, and raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect this Miss Qian to be a female Tao Zhu Gong." β
"No, the emperor is just a man, and in just a few years, he has gone from having nothing, living in a grass hut and wearing rags, to being worth tens of thousands."
"It's really all earned by Qian Wenjin? This Qian Wenhan also followed Lu Can to Zhongjiang Mansion, but at that time, he brought down several big families, and the first emperor ordered to raid the house. β
"Your Majesty, this little one has also checked, Lu Can is now in Zhongjiang, and he lives a very simple life, he hasn't given much gift to his family in the past two years, and Qian Wenhan left Zhongjiang, there is only one rattan bookcase, a clothes bag, and a small bag of broken silver, and when he returns home, the money for marrying is still from Qian Wenjin."
"Qian Wenjin just opened a restaurant, can he make so much money?"
"Long live, she didn't rely on the restaurant to make money, this Qian Wenjin was a teenager, her family was poor, and she had to go into the mountains to pick mountain fruits for food, I don't know how to find kiwifruit, she introduced it, this fruit is rare, the price is high, every year it brings her thousands of taels of silver, someone once used 10,000 taels of silver to buy her kiwifruit orchard, she didn't agree."
Emperor Yongchang became more and more interested in Wen Jin, and he really hated that he couldn't immediately recruit him to his side and accompany him every day.
Guo Anan saw that the emperor frowned and pondered, so he knelt and did not dare to speak, quietly waiting for instructions.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Qian Wenjin quietly, I want to know how she opened a hotel in the capital."
"Yes!"
Emperor Yongchang thought for a while: "Don't let her have any accidents." β
"Yes!"
If Guo Anan was not good at speculating on the master's intentions, he would not be able to climb to his current position. Qian Wenjin is a beauty, what does the emperor mean by paying so much attention to her? The pig's head can figure out the reason, not to mention him, out of the palace, he immediately arranged for a few of his subordinates to infiltrate the Qian Mansion, the hotel that Wen Jin is about to open, and the gangster circle outside the hotel.
Wen Jin was closely monitored, unconsciously, still at home, and Qian Xiancheng selected calligraphy and calligraphy and paintings to be hung in the hotel.
Those who paid attention to Ouyang's reform were also his superiors, subordinates, and Prince Ren.
The fact that his son had ruined his uncle made him angry and worried, no matter what dissatisfaction he had with Qian Jun, this was his eldest son after all, and he was the son of Prince Ren's greatest hope. In the frontier for ten years, the letters he received a few years ago were all from his little wife telling his son how he didn't become a weapon, in Zongxueqi, skipping school, and even the prince was provoked, he was angry and sad in his heart, after all, the other son was too young, whether he would succeed or not, it is still unknown, besides, he listened to the advice of his mother and married Shen Mingting, the first talented woman in the capital, that is, he took a fancy to the Shen family's brothers-in-law who were smart and good at reading, and he hoped that his son would not be like the sons of other brothers, who had no ink on his chest, and would only eat, drink and have fun.
He once wrote several letters to Qian Jun to persuade his son, but they were all in vain, and he did not receive a single reply, and Liu Caiqin's explanation in reply was that Qian Jun did not listen to persuasion at all.
Prince Ren also wrote to ask a trusted cousin of the clan, and the result was consistent with what Liu Caiqin said.
Prince Ren was disheartened, until the Liu family stuck the grain and grass to be served, he suffered a defeat in the western Xinjiang, Qian Jun heard that the prince was personally conscripted, volunteered to be a pioneer, only brought 5,000 men and horses recruited from Liangzhong Province, to the front line of the western Xinjiang, he knew how wrong he knew. The son is well-read and smart, not only strong in martial arts, but also smart and witty, strategizing, if you have a son, what more can you ask for? Although he is in the western Xinjiang and the environment is harsh, Prince Ren is like a spring breeze all day long, and his mood is extremely comfortable.
