Chapter 7 Shrewd Jiang Qianhu

In the hall of the Song Mansion, Jiang Qianhu sat on the top with a big thorn, Song Huan ordered his subordinates to make good tea and serve delicious snacks, and the dozen or so soldiers grabbed snacks and stuffed them into their pockets like starving ghosts, making a mess all over the ground.

Jiang Qianhu was a little embarrassed, rolled his eyes and scolded: "A bunch of eight lambs, lose Lao Tzu's face, what is there to grab dim se?" Are you all from Hanako? ”

Yan Shi smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, later the old man ordered everyone to pack a bag and bring it back to the military masters to taste it slowly, everyone is stationed in Ulzhou, to keep our people safe, what is it to eat some snacks?" ”

Jiang Qianhu coughed dryly, waved his hand and said to the soldiers: "Go, go, go to the courtyard and stay, lose Lao Tzu's face." ”

The soldiers rushed out of the house, sitting or standing in the courtyard while basking in the sun, while staring at the maids who came and went in the Song Mansion, with a look of slander, which frightened the maids of the Song Mansion with red faces and hurriedly bowed their heads, not daring to look at them.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Jiang Qianhu took off his helmet and stepped on the stool with one big foot, and the mud on his shoes trampled the shiny mahogany bench surface black.

Song Huan hurriedly stepped forward and told Song Nan the truth about coming here to ask for family property and making trouble, and finally said: "Lord Qianhu, do you say that this kind of Diao people are hateful?" How can there be such a person in the Ulju Mansion? The Lord of the Thousand Households will definitely make the decision for me. ”

Jiang Qianhu was still careless at first, and threw the dim sum into his mouth with his cheeks and chewed it, nodding frequently and making a sound of hum, but when he heard Song Nan bite back and say that Song Huan was not the blood of the Song family, he opened his mouth wide in surprise, and the pastries in his mouth fell one after another, like catkins in March spreading a layer on the ground.

"What a slippery boy!" Jiang Qianhu slapped the table and shouted.

"yes, you say it's infuriating?" Song Huan echoed.

Jiang Qianhu slowly walked up to Song Nan and asked, "What Song Gongzi said just now is the truth?" ”

Song Nan said: "It is indeed the truth. ”

Jiang Qianhu looked Song Nan up and down, and said with a smile: "It's a little interesting, you are such a slippery boy, this is the first time that Lord Ben has seen you, and you actually dare to bite back, you are afraid that you will break the jar and break it, right?" ”

Song Nan said quietly: "Isn't my question reasonable?" They falsely accused me of not being my father's own, so can't I question them in the same way? They want me to show proof of my birth, so can't I ask them to do that? ”

Master Jiang smiled and nodded, "It's a good question, it's a little interesting; But have you thought about it, even if you sue the government, your chances of winning are probably less than one percent, I dare to say that when you go to the state yamen, you will be taken to prison for slandering and causing trouble. ”

Song Nan smiled: "What if it's less than half of it?" Ulzhou is the world of the Ming Dynasty, even if there is collusion between corrupt officials and prominent families, paper can't contain the fire after all, I was imprisoned, my mother and friends will still go around for me to redress grievances, but whenever the Qingtian Lord knows, the unlucky one is not me, who covers up who bends the law and no one can escape. ”

Jiang Qianhu was stunned for a moment, and said: "I can't see it, but he has a strong character, it sounds like what you said has some truth, you are willing to cut your body, you have to be unforgiving, right?" ”

Song Nan arched his hand and said: "I don't want to be like this, I originally just wanted to get a piece of my own family business, but since they didn't want to, and slandered and insulted me, I had to burn jade with them." ”

Jiang Qianhu smiled and said: "It's a bit interesting, but don't you suffer from the flesh and skin and can't get what you want when you make such a fuss, this is called harming others and not benefiting yourself, why bother?" ”

Song Nan said: "Could it be that Lord Fei wants to be a mediator?" ”

Master Jiang widened his eyes and smacked his tongue: "It's not simple, it's really not simple, even you have figured out my thoughts, how do you know that General Ben wants to mediate?" ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "Lord Qianhu and the Song family must be very familiar, but after hearing what happened, they didn't immediately support them, but they had the intention of persuading me, and they dared to guess, that is because once I go to the yamen to complain, maybe the chances of winning will be very great, and the eldest prince of Song can't come up with evidence, and if he doesn't get it, the real family property will be confiscated, so many people may be involved, and maybe even adults will be implicated, so it's better to turn a big thing into a small matter, and the adult will come forward to mediate and settle the matter, wouldn't everyone be happy." ”

Master Jiang raised his big finger and praised repeatedly: "Amazing, great, although it is not completely right, it is also five or six points right; Since you are so happy, I might as well open the skylight with you and say something bright, if you go to the government to complain, you will be defeated, I dare to guarantee that you will die a miserable death; But today's events will inevitably fall into the eyes and ears of others, and the city of Ulju ...... Hey...... It's not just the state government that is in charge, there are always some nosy people who will be moved by the wind, although it is not difficult to prevaricate, but it is better to have more than one less; Since I am familiar with the Song Mansion, of course I don't want to see anyone embarrass the Song Mansion. ”

Song Nan smiled slightly, and said softly: "Embroidered spring knives, flying fish clothes, did the adults mean these people?" ”

Na Jiang's eyes were sharp, and he immediately returned to peace, and Ha Luha smiled noncommittally; Song Huan's mother and son on the side saw that Lord Jiang and Song Nan were chatting familiarly, and they were secretly anxious, originally expecting Lord Jiang to support themselves, but they never thought that Lord Jiang actually intended to mediate, and Song Huan's mother and son were also confused about the answer between them.

"You're a smart person, but it's not a good thing to be too smart, anyway, how are you going to be good about this?" Master Jiang sat down on the chair, picked up the snack and munched on it again.

Song Nan knew that today's opportunity was here, saying that he would go to the government to sue Yunyun, whether it would work or not He himself didn't know, this is the Ming Dynasty, and it is completely different from later generations, although he has read a lot of people in later generations, and he has a good grasp of the subtle relationship between people, but he still doesn't know anything about the situation here, and the reason why he did that scene is just based on the common weaknesses of human nature.

As for guessing the meaning of this Jiang Daren's words, it is true that later generations are good at observing and thinking about the ability to observe, this Jiang Daren and the accompanying soldiers are ordinary military clothes, and their identities may only be the imperial army stationed in Ulzhou; Lord Najiang said: 'This place is not the affairs of the state government' Referring to the brocade guards in fresh clothes and angry horses he saw on the street when he came today, Song Nan easily guessed what he was referring to.

Although Song Nan is not very familiar with the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei is notorious, and hundreds of years later, later generations also circulated various descriptions of the Jinyiwei of this dynasty. Although a big family like the Song family seems to be strong, in the eyes of Jin Yiwei, it is a big piece of fat, if things are big, how can they let go of this opportunity to seize and confiscate all the family business of the Song family? As soon as Jin Yiwei intervened, the Song family's property was finished.

Jiang Qianhu naturally knew these things, but Song Huan Yan's mother and son didn't know the benefits and disadvantages of the Dao at all, Song Huan complained a little: "Lord Qianhu, you can't condone this kind of blackmail of the people, can you help him speak." ”

Jiang Qianhu said disdainfully: "You know a fart? Let me ask you, can you show proof that you are your biological son? ”

Song Huan snorted: "How can adults listen to this kid's nonsense? I'm my father's own, do I still need to be suspicious of such things? ”

Jiang Qianhu reprimanded: "Nonsense, you can count with one sentence, so what do you have to do as an official?" Proof, you know? ”

Before Song Huan could speak, Jiang Qianhu ignored him anymore, and asked Yan to go to the side with him and muttered a few words, Yan's face changed greatly, and he asked a few words in a low voice, and Jiang Qianhu replied a few words.

Yan stood stunned for a long time, and said softly: "What my lord said is that there are some things in this world that even if they are true, they can't prove it, and after years of death, the deceased husband really can't prove it; The adult is to protect my Song Mansion, and everything is mediated by the adult. ”

Song Huan hurriedly said: "Mother, how are you ...... How can you be cheap this kid. ”

Jiang Qianhu glanced at him and said, "It's still the old lady's general knowledge, this kid and I have never been in life, why should we help him?" Grand Master Song, use your brain more in everything, you are far worse than your brother. ”

Song Huan shouted: "He is not my Song family's bloodline......"

Jiang Qianhu sank his face and said, "Are you a fool when you are Lao Tzu?" Whoever has the courage to come and pretend to recognize the Song family, such things can be thought clearly with their butts, whether he is the Song family after the Song family, your Song family knows it; If he really wasn't the queen of the Song family, I'm afraid you would have sent him to the yamen a long time ago, and it would be your turn to beg me? ”

Yan Shi and Song Huan's faces were pale, and they looked at each other silently.

Jiang Qianhu stretched out his hand and rubbed his big nose, slowly came to Song Nan, stared at him and said: "This brother, don't expect to take half of the family business, although the Da Ming Order is clearly written, but Song Gong died five years ago, and in the past five years, the eldest son of Song has been busy taking care of the family business. ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "Then according to the meaning of the adult, what should I do?" ”

Master Jiang raised his head and thought for a while: "You make a price, I don't think you are a person who cares about a few small money, if it weren't for your mother and son to live without a living, I guess you wouldn't come here to ask for it." ”

Song Nan lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Since the adult mediates, it is natural to give the adult face, and I am not greedy, the Song family gave me two thousand taels of silver, plus the title deed of the old house on North Street, and I will not come to fight for the family business again." ”

Song Huan's mother and son were stunned, and even Lord Jiang was surprised, the Song family's family business was huge, adding up to tens of thousands of taels, I thought that Song Nan would ask for tens of thousands of taels, but I didn't expect that as long as it was two thousand taels, Yan's mother and son almost laughed out loud.

Jiang Qianhu said suspiciously: "Are you sure?" ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "Of course, I know that the Song family has a huge business, but the adult mediates, how can I make the adult embarrassed?" I sold my adult a face, and these two thousand taels of silver were also asked for my mother's worry-free life, and the Song family owed my mother a lot, so what could I do if I wanted 20,000 taels, can I buy back the suffering suffered by our mother and son? I just want to warn the people of the Song family that it will not last long if you are not benevolent for being rich, my father taught me when I was a child, I haven't forgotten, but I'm afraid the eldest son of Song has long forgotten. ”

Jiang Qianhu raised his finger and praised: "Courage, mind, rare and rare." ”

Where did Yan and Song Huan have the heart to listen to Song Nan's ridicule, for fear that Song Nan would regret it, they were busy ordering someone to take the silver from the account room, and asked Song Nan to set up a note, and since then it has nothing to do with the Song family.
