Ran Zaijing has been very happy in the past two years, but at the same time he is not very happy.

His grandfather was a Ming concubine, and Emperor Chongzhen was his cousin. But to be honest, it's very boring, the family has no real power, and there is nowhere to start if you want to be greedy for money.

Historically, Li Zicheng tortured in Beijing and beat the horse master half to death, but he couldn't find any silver taels.

After Ran Zaijing was brought to Nanjing, he was like a fish in water. While in Beijing, he played a minor role in the honorable people. But when he arrived in Nanjing, as Chongzhen's cousin, there were many gentlemen who took the initiative to play with him.

Usually consumes in high-end places, and there is no need for Ran Zaijing to pay for it himself.

The value of his existence is to have fun with this group of gentlemen. The profession is simply too right, cockfighting and lackeys, cage birds, flowers, wine and tea, exclamations and songs...... Ran Zaijing can be said to be proficient in everything!

Occasionally, I will tell some interesting stories about the palace of the Ming Dynasty and tell about the entertainment activities of the nobles of Beijing. No matter how he made it up, the group of local buns in Nanjing all gathered around him and listened carefully, and there were bursts of amazement when he talked about the highlights.

It's a pity, no matter how many stories you see, there will be a day when you will finish telling them.

Nanjing's gentlemen gradually lost their freshness to him and became an indispensable existence, and many times they no longer brought him with him for fun.

Today, there was finally a big wrongdoer, and he was invited to go to Goolan to drink flower wine, and slept until the next morning before going home.

"Where did you fool around again?"

As soon as he passed through the courtyard, Ran Zaijing heard his grandfather's voice.

Ran Zaijing didn't take it seriously, and replied with a hippie smile: "Back to my grandfather's words, I drank too late last night and rested at a friend's house." ”

Ran Xingrang snorted coldly: "It's those fox friends again!" ”

"Just playing together." Ran Zaijing argued.

Ran Xingrang suddenly sighed: "Alas, with your father and son, what kind of life am I doing evil!" ”

Although Xu Ying's meticulous work brought the horse family to Nanjing. But the princess (the daughter of Wanli) died of illness halfway, and the son and eldest grandson who did not let people worry about it did not work properly after settling in Nanjing.

This father and son also met in the Qinhuai River.

At that time, they each went to the Qinglou to seek pleasure, and they wanted to see a famous prostitute but could not get it, so the two groups were arranged to drink tea together. The father and son collided head-on, staring at each other with big eyes and inconvenient to recognize each other, so they each called "Mr."

Ran Xingrang called his grandson into the study and said, "I pulled down this old face and asked you to find a living." The Physics Museum of Qintianyuan lacks a small warehouse. Although he is not a clerk, if he does a good job, he can be promoted to a clerk. What's even more rare is that this errand is very leisurely, as long as you can read and hyphenate words. In addition to your daily work, you can also read more books. To be promoted, you must be assessed, one is to test the Datong theory, and the other is to test the rules and regulations of the physics museum. ”

Ran Zaijing suddenly became anxious: "Aren't all officials?" If you want to be a official, you have to be promoted? Isn't that a government servant! Grandfather, no matter how you say it, we are also the clan of the old dynasty, where to put the face when it is passed out! ”

"You still want face?" Ran Xingrang was furious, "The name of your father and son has spread all over the Qinhuai River!" The old man asked for help, and he could have arranged for the clerk to do errands. When people hear that it's you, they don't want to help. The old man begged hard before he agreed to let you do the chores first! In three months, as long as you don't miss work and don't make trouble, you can become a clerk! ”

Ran Zaijing said impatiently: "Dad is not making a living, let him do miscellaneous labor." ”

"Say it again!" Ran Xing was so angry that he trembled.

Of course, Ran Zaijing didn't dare to be disobedient, so he lowered his head and said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, I'll do it for a few days." ”

A few days later, Ran Zaijing was fired for being late and leaving early for no reason, and he also contradicted the director of the treasury and scolded the eighteenth generation of the supervisor's ancestors in public.

He didn't dare to go home, so he was introduced to Cao Fengji by Zuo Liangcheng and took him to the painting boat for three days.

Ran Zaile didn't think about it, and said one day: "Shopkeeper Cao is happy these days, so he won't change the immortals." ”

Cao Fengji said with a smile: "My uncle is a Shanxi giant, and this time he came to the south to do business, and he has his own buddies to follow the arrangement." As for myself, I made more friends with the gentry and celebrities, and had good relations with the officials in Nanjing. If there are acquaintances on this official's face, wouldn't business be easy to do? ”

"Shopkeeper Cao is really rich and noble, and eating, drinking, and having fun all day long is considered a serious thing." Ran Zaijing said enviously.

Cao Fengji said: "Your Excellency is also a rich and noble life, the former dynasty is noble, how majestic. I heard, Lord Chongzhen is still Your Excellency's cousin? ”

Ran Zaijing waved his hand again and again: "Don't say it, don't say it, I'll be angry when I say it." How rich and noble am I? Grandfather lowered his face and begged for help, but he only found an errand for a government handyman. His Majesty is also stingy today, since he can accommodate the old dynasty clan, why not give him a decent house, hang some idle errands in the official mansion, and send some silver taels every month as an example of money? ”

Cao Fengji echoed: "That's how it should be." ”

"Drink, drink!" The more Ran Zaijing thought about it, the more angry he became.

Cao Fengji sighed again: "In the past few years, Your Excellency is a noble of the clan, and you are just a grass people. Now Sansheng is fortunate to be able to drink with a noble person like Your Excellency. ”

"What kind of noble man am I? It doesn't count, it doesn't count. Ran Zaijing was actually very happy in his heart, and finally someone recognized his identity.

One is holding hard, the other is fluttering, and when he drinks to the back, Ran Zaijing has regarded Cao Fengji as a confidant.

Finally, Cao Fengji asked casually: "I heard that it was Grandfather Ling who sent the prince and daughter of the Ming Dynasty to Nanjing." That's a lot of work! ”

Ran Zaijing became more and more indignant: "Today's Your Majesty is very mean and unkind. No matter how great the merit of my grandfather was, he only rewarded him with a few dozen taels of silver, and the mansion he gave him was very shabby. There are so many people in my family, the house can't live in it at all! I don't pay it on a monthly basis, and I have to earn my own livelihood on weekdays. In the past, in Beijing, there were all kinds of money! ”

Cao Fengji saw that Ran Zaijing was already drunk, so he asked: "When I escorted the prince south, besides Grandfather Ling, who was there a loyal minister of the old dynasty?" ”

"There are no loyal ministers in this world, they are all ......" Ran Zaijing thought of the individual, and sneered, "There is one loyal minister, and at that time, under the pretext of worshipping ancestors, eunuchs and guards escorted them out of Beijing. Halfway falsely claimed that the thief was coming, and the eunuchs and guards were so frightened that they scattered. There was a red-helmeted guard who did not run away and did his duty to protect the prince. This person is also in Nanjing now, and he is also a patrol captain. You say that he is not stupid, he has few monthly salaries, and he has to support his family, and he actually buys pastries for the prince and princess every month to pay filial piety. ”

Cao Fengji's eyes lit up, and he unlocked a new character, and hurriedly said: "This loyal minister and righteous man is also, but unfortunately I can't see it!" ”

Ran Zaijing smiled: "It's not easy to see him? Lead the patrol every day, and you can see it on the street. He is a dignified red-helmet general, a guard of the Ming Emperor, and he can only catch fast when he comes to Nanjing. ”

Catch it quickly!

Cao Fengji became more and more happy.

He continued to inquire about the news and learned that this person's name was Zhou Yingyuan, and the next day he went to secretly investigate the situation.

It soon became clear that Ran Zaijing's news was lagging behind. Zhou Yingyuan is not a patrol captain, he has already been promoted, and he assists in the security of the entire Saddle Braidle - probably equivalent to the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau.

Cao Fengji asked Ran to visit him in Jing, said some words of admiration, and said that he missed the old dynasty and liked to make friends with the loyal ministers and righteous men of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhou Yingyuan said with a dark face: "What is the new dynasty and the old dynasty, now there is only one Datong court." You don't want to talk nonsense and harm Chongzhen's children. You are honest in your business, and you must not meet everywhere in the future, otherwise you will be arrested and punished as a spy! ”

Cao Fengji hurriedly smiled, and said with a sad expression: "General Zhou, don't be angry, the grass people are just ...... Alas! The grass people are also talented and famous, which one does not bathe in the emperor's grace? The dynasty has raised scholars for 300 years, but we and other scholars cannot repay Jun's kindness. Now His Majesty Chongzhen is no longer there, and the contemptible people happen to come to Nanjing to do business. It's really ...... I really can't help it, I want to see the royal nobles of the Ming Dynasty. But he didn't dare to be presumptuous, for fear of causing disaster to the prince and princess, so he could only make friends with loyal ministers like the general. ”

Zhou Yingyuan couldn't help but feel a lot when he saw that he was sincere, and immediately said in a relaxed tone: "It's good that you have this heart, it's not easy, not the kind of ungrateful person." But it must also be remembered that today's saint tomorrow, when the royal family of the old dynasty is not thin, the princes and princesses can all study, and they can also become officials in the imperial examination when they become adults. If you are really loyal to Lord Chongzhen, don't disturb the Ming bloodline again. If you know that your children can be treated like this, Your Majesty must be able to smile at Jiuquan. ”

"General Zhou is right." Cao Fengji didn't dare to say more.

Sedition did not happen overnight, he had time to plan. If it doesn't work in one year, it will be two years, and if it doesn't work in two years, it will be three years, and it is better to delay it until the Manchu Qing is destroyed.

Cao Fengji likes to live in Nanjing, which is much more comfortable than Liaodong and Shanxi.

He is indeed from Shanxi, but he is not Cao Sanxi's nephew, but a disciple of the Fan family of the "Eight Great Emperor Merchants".

Their whole family is doing business in the Zhangjiakou area, and with the sparse population of Beizhili, the family business is not easy to do. The Manchu Qing Dynasty withdrew to Liaodong, and even some family members of the "Eight Great Imperial Merchants" were also taken away, and now they are all hostages in the city of Shenyang.

Selling the country is selling the country, making money is making money, the Tartar can't see it, since he can't exchange it for glory and wealth, who is willing to be a dog?

Sometimes, Cao Fengji even thinks that he simply doesn't want Liaodong's wife and children, and directly votes for the Datong court in Nanjing.

Cao Fengji is not the only one who can come to Nanjing to work carefully.

Cao Fengji didn't know how many there were, let alone where he was hiding. He was afraid that after he turned against the water, not only would his wife and children be gone, but he would also be killed.

Cao Fengji is now spending half of his energy as a spy, and the other half of his energy is crazy about creating people. The maids he had brought with him from the north were kept in the room and tossed around night and night, just to give birth to a son as soon as possible.

If you have an heir, you will be able to pass on incense.

When things were not good, he directly took his young son to surrender and asked for the blessing of Emperor Datong.

Having seen the prosperity of Nanjing and the living environment of southern businessmen, Cao Fengji really wanted to do business in Nanjing.
