Xu Qian walked out of the noon gate unharmed, but found that there were many people waiting for him outside the noon gate, and as soon as he saw him come out, he heard a familiar voice that couldn't be more familiar: "Look, isn't this coming out?" Uncle, what do I say, my cousin must be safe and sound. ”

"Hmph, you are an afterthought, I obviously heard you say that if you don't come out later, how should you deal with it." The person who spoke was Xu Chang, and although his words were a little angry, this old face couldn't hide his joy.

As soon as Xu Qian came out of the doorway, he was surrounded by more than a dozen people, from Xu Chang to Xu Yong and Xu Fu, so that even Xu Chen came, the carriage was ready-made, Xu Qian wanted to say a few words to the old man, but Xu Chang patted him on the back and said: "Don't gossip, if you have something to say, then you are not in a hurry, after entering the palace for so long, Xu Fu has already roughly said the situation inside, haha...... You are my son, who can do anything about it? Let's get in the car, go back and take a break, have you eaten? I asked Xu Yong to order a table of wine and food to take home. ”

Xu Qian had to smile bitterly: "It's really tired, I don't want anything now, I just want to sleep well." ”

Everyone hugged Xu Qian and got into the car, all the way home, naturally he didn't mention it.

Lying on this couch, Xu Qian felt unprecedented peace of mind, as if only this remote corner of the Beijing Division could stop him from intrigue, let him completely relax, and leave all his troubles behind.

Approaching the end of the year, it seems that he is also infected by this joyful atmosphere, Xu Qian was dazed before going to sleep, and couldn't help thinking: "I just don't know how Miss Zhao is in Hangzhou, and Deng Jian's guy, he has been at sea for so long, I hope nothing happens, hey......"

Wake up. found that Xu Fu was probing his brain outside, Xu Qian sat up and said half-asleep: "What time is it?" What are you doing at home when you're not at Ruyifang? ”

Xu Fu came in and said with a smile: "You have only slept for three hours, and now it is only past the unitary hour, I am here to ask for advice." ”

This guy has been getting close to Xu Qian recently, maybe because of this, this guy has become crepe even when he speaks. Xu Qian said angrily and funny: "I have been waiting for Xiao Chen'er to come and ask me, who knows that I gave my heart to him, but he shines on the bed bugs in the stinky ditch, left and right, but waits for you to come and ask, you say." What do you want to ask? ”

Xu Fudao: "It's a matter of Ruyifang, just when you came out of the palace, the news came out quickly, the Jingshi was shaken, Ruyifang over there, today's customers are six or seven times that of yesterday, and the merchants from the south and the north and the merchants from the land are now pouring in." The number of listed transactions has also increased several times, and now Ruyi Fang is overcrowded, I mean it is time to take precautions and buy several large houses in the vicinity to expand. Recruit some more people, practice a little, and save yourself too much of a busy time when the time comes. ”

Xu Qian stroked his forehead, he actually forgot about this stubble. Wang Feng's case is closely related to Ruyifang, and it has a great relationship with businessmen. After all, although some businessmen dare to try new things, some are still waiting, which is human nature, but it is nothing. Now, the results of the imperial trial have come out, and Wang Feng, who criticized Ruyifang, has been sentenced to death, which is nothing less than a shot in the arm for businessmen, and Ruyifang's credit has reached a peak unconsciously.

Xu Qian smiled slightly and said, "Now that Ruyifang is entering the golden bucket every day, are you still afraid of spending money?" If you want to expand, then expand, the surrounding can buy all the land to buy, in my estimation, the future of the near land price is afraid to double several times, now buy at a low price, it is better than to do a lot of wrongs in the future, so let's prepare a sum of silver, yes, what is the total profit of Ruyi Fang in recent days? ”

Xu Fu replied: "Ninety thousand taels ......"

Xu Qian couldn't help but be speechless, ninety thousand...... Sure enough, the business involving the merchants is a huge profit, it is barely a month, and more importantly, with the gradual increase in the fame of Ruyifang, this number will continue to increase, Xu Qian pondered for a moment, and said: "In short, all the profits from the previous few months were taken out to buy land, as for the matter of dividends, I will talk about it for the time being, Shou Ninghou and their side." ”

Xu Fu couldn't help but be speechless, a few months of profit, this is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, although the capital land is worth money, but throwing out so much silver, God knows how much land can be bought, but he is now very convinced of Xu Qian, and there is no criticism, just nodded and said: "Okay, I'll pay attention to it." ”

It's only a day or two away from the end of the year, but preparing for the New Year doesn't seem to have anything to do with Xu Qian, he wants to pick up some things to do, such as buying some fireworks and the like, although it is useless, although he is a scholar, but it is always okay to buy things, but he was just about to go out, but he was stopped by a few cousins who were now on vacation at home, this said: "Uncle said, you have to study more, this kind of thing is naturally for us to do." Go, go, read your book and go. ”

The one said earnestly: "How can you do this kind of errand?" You're busy with yours, why don't you really be a few of us eating dry rice? ”

They don't eat dry rice, as a result, Xu Qian can only eat dry rice, and as a result, even writing couplets, which should be done by him, was robbed, and on the thirtieth day, He Xinyin, a foodie, actually refused to go, obviously relying on here, but now for the New Year, Xu Chen didn't have the heart to read, He Xinyin didn't want to go, so he volunteered to write a couplet, his calligraphy is not bad, more thoughtful than Xu Qian, and Xu Qian is different, because he has seen too much calligraphy, but messy, although there are new ideas, but after all, it is just a couplet, Who is interested in seeing your new ideas?

What's even more annoying is that when it came on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the New Year's greetings came one by one, and many of them were the old man's colleagues, these people knew that the Xu family had recently been in the middle of the holy family, and they had a heart, Xu Chang took Xu Qian out to meet the guests, and everyone saw Xu Qian, and they couldn't help but praise a few words, this said: "The nephew has been in high school at a young age, and he is amazing." ”

That said: "This is natural, he is different from us rough people, people are Zhejiang Xie Yuan, full of knowledge, Lao Xu gave birth to a good son, I won't talk about other benefits, just say this year, we don't pay much attention to rough people like us, when we encounter writing couplets, it is inevitable to ask someone to write on behalf of us, but the Xu family is different, there is a nephew, and I still need to ask someone to write on my behalf?" When I came in, I looked at the words on the couplet, oops, it's really Zhou Zheng, I don't know how many times better than I asked someone to write it on my behalf. ”

"Yes, yes, I think the couplet is very good, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, the pen is very strong, and the nephew is erudite and talented, so that we are envious."

Where did they notice that Xu Qian's face had been pulled down, and they were still praising it.

Xu Qian was injured, in his words, he had no face to see people, every time people praised the good writing of that character, he could even feel He Xinyin's smile nearby, so he simply closed the door to study, so as not to go to meet guests.

In addition to reading, Xu Qian inevitably has to read some newspapers, although Ming Pao was set up by him, but Xu Qian prefers the official Di Bao, Ming Pao This thing is just a tool for people and writers to entertain themselves, and Xu Qian, an official fan with ambition and ideals, is naturally not interested in reading this kind of entertainment newspaper, but Di Bao is different, don't look at the chapters in the Di Bao are all strict, and the words are almost the same, but in this old-fashioned word, you can see many mysteries, sometimes it may be just a word difference, After a little pondering, Xu Qian could see many of the stories behind this.

This kind of newspaper is really fun for Xu Qian, although the official chapter is hateful, but it also has its difficulties, after all, this kind of chapter represents the attitude of the imperial court, and once it comes to the official, there must be no mistakes or omissions, for example, the chapter in the Ming Pao can be intense, and it can also be moved with emotion, but the official chapter can't, it must be stable and stable, so that everyone can't find fault, the result is naturally conceivable, the words in it are simply set out of a mold. It's just that in these templates, as long as you have a heart, you can find very important confidence, and it may even involve the direction of the entire national policy, which is why anyone with an official status attaches the most importance to this newspaper, and if there is a slight omission, it may be impossible to recover.

And in the recent Di newspaper, Xu Qian found a very interesting information, this year's Jingcha was actually Yang Tinghe personally drafted some detailed rules, and even wrote a chapter in this Di newspaper, the chapter is actually very simple, naturally it is about Wang Feng, saying that Wang Feng is a person like Wang Feng on the outside, but in fact he is deeply treacherous, the imperial court has been in Beijing several times, and the evaluation is not low, so he took the opportunity to talk about the rule of officials, and said that His Majesty Xià Longyan was furious, this time Jingcha must be ruthless to clean up the officials to govern Yunyun.

Seeing this chapter, Xu Qian couldn't help but feel creepy, Yang Ting and this guy are really old and spicy, maybe you can't see any information on the surface, it's just an inventory of the officials, but if you think about it deeply, it's very different, Yang Tinghe first proposed Wang Feng, obviously he had already treated him as an outcast, it can be said that he could afford to put it down, and then it led to the emperor Long Yan's anger, which means to warn everyone, it's not that he wants to rectify you, but that His Majesty wants to move seriously, and finally, put forward all kinds of harsh rules, Make sure to scare someone into peeing on their pants.

But the problem is that although this has the experience of Wang Feng, His Majesty is angry, but there is only one person who really presides over Jingcha, only the head of the court and the secretary of the ministry, that is to say, during this period of time, the honor and disgrace of the officials are all in the hands of Master Yang, from now on, whether to eat meat and soup or die and eat prison is in the mind of Master Yang.
