Zheng Haizhu didn't lift the curtain, but through the gap in the curtain, she could see Li Daniu and Cao Xu's coachman coming out of her car window.

No matter how secluded this place is, it is not a barren mountain.

The house slaves and subordinates on both sides tacitly blocked Cao Xu. If outsiders look at it from a distance, most of them think that the car has collided, and the men are negotiating.

Zheng Haizhu said in his heart, Yibin, the husband of the daughter of the Zhu family, has more taboos for men and women than ordinary people. Cao Yibin, who has never met before, must have something important to stop him in the middle of the road today.

After dealing with Lu Fan for a long time, Zheng Haizhu knows that these guests of honor also have grades, according to the different clan girls who are still there, the grades range from high to low, ranging from three to six.

The other party calls himself a "royal guest of honor", obviously, he is still the county lord, not a county monarch or a township monarch.

Sanpin Yibin spoke humbly to himself, the sixth-grade lady, and Zheng Haizhu deduced that the possibility of this person "asking for something" was greater than "telling him something".

She then opened the door through the curtain and said in a cold tone: "Cao Yibin has any advice, but it doesn't matter." ”

The figure outside the curtain lowered his hands and stood with his sleeves down, and did not sell his words when he spoke again.

"I heard that Mrs. recently invited the craftsmen of the Dianbao Institute to go south, and there is a goldsmith surnamed Liu, although he is young and strong, and he is especially good at drawing gold skills, but he is the minions of those who have improper intentions, and Mrs. must not recruit them."

"Who's the wrong one? What to do against me? ”

"Since it is related to Mrs. wanting to offer treasures to Lu Mansion, it is not difficult for Mrs. to guess."

The people in the car said softly, and they were stunned for a moment, but they still said: "Lu Fan is deep, and I have blocked the financial road of nepotism." Did they plant that little man from the treasure house to exchange the gems I offered for defective and shoddy ones? ”

Cao Xu said: "Exactly." Cao heard that there were relatives outside the sect who had always come to sell gold and silver orbs into the Lu domain, and this time he heard that His Royal Highness played King Lu, and his wife would offer treasures from Nanyang, and he was furious. Out of thin air, someone gives good things for nothing, and these dealers, who earn a lot less money, will also teach the princes and princesses to see that the things in the past are afraid that they are fake. ”

Zheng Haizhu continued to ask: "What kind of fake method?" ”

"For example, gold wire is embedded in the glass, and it is disguised as a cat's eye in Ceylon. It is also made into a square cake shape with green glaze, smeared with purple acid and slightly corroded, just like digging from the depths of the crypt, and pretending to be called a Western gem 'Zhumula'. And ......"

"I know, they are all smart people, but they don't have to be smart on the right path." Zheng Haizhu interrupted Cao Xu softly.

In the Ming Dynasty, due to the influence of the wind of Western learning and eastward progress, the craftsmen mastered a lot of glass firing technology, and the glass is not as rare as the previous dynasty, and the commonness of daily porcelain is comparable, and it is no longer used as the main jewelry burial items of the imperial family. It is not difficult to understand that counterfeiters use glazed technology to imitate gemstones in terms of cost accounting.

Zheng Haizhu does not doubt that the level of fraud of Chinese people can win the Nobel Prize in physics or chemistry, even if it is an ancient.

She is more concerned about Cao Xu's purpose.

"Cao Yibin, where did you hear this rumor?"

Cao Xu said without hesitation: "The place where Fengyue feasts and drinks." ”

"Heh......" Zheng Haizhu laughed lightly, "While playing a prostitute, I recruited the doll surnamed Liu to tell me how to make a dark pile?" ”

"No, after Cao learned about their thoughts, the house slave secretly investigated, and was convinced that the pawn was a willow craftsman."

Zheng Haizhu was silent for a moment before saying: "Yibin and I have nothing to do, so I must have something to hope for." ”

Under the scorching sun of midsummer in Ludi, the two people inside and outside the curtain of the car spoke coldly, but they were not empty and wronged.

But Cao Xu's posture began to straighten up, and his words showed a decisive meaning: "If you want to find a place in your wife's southbound business travel, in order to show your sincerity, you must always submit a petition." ”

Oh? A noble stomach who is three grades higher than himself actually came to interview for a job application?

Zheng Haizhu finally lifted the curtain and looked at Cao Xu carefully.

Fang is far away, judging by his clothes alone, he is a rich son.

Look at this moment, but seeing this Cao Yibin, his face is tanned, and his body under the light silk robe in the summer is estimated to be not inferior to Liu Shimin's brocade guards with tiger backs and bee waists and mantis legs.

Cao Xu calmly met Zheng Haizhu's gaze and continued to speak: "My father is the commander of the left guard of Jining, Cao was designated as the county lord and guest of honor by the Zongfu at the age of thirteen, and he was still the county lord at the age of sixteen, and lived in the Yibin Mansion. The county lord lingered on the sickbed and went to the immortals. Madame rest assured, Cao is already free, and His Royal Highness has always known what Cao's character is, but he just doesn't know Cao's intention to go to the countryside to do business. I, I'm going to have to talk to my wife first......"

Zheng Haizhu smiled slightly: "In this dynasty, even if the county lord and county lord die first, the Yibin's Lu rice is still there, and it is only halved." Cao Yi Binshang is the county lord, although he is now a widower, he still enjoys 400 Shi Lu rice, and the ancestral precepts of the national law do not prohibit the remarriage of Yi Bin, he is a carefree person, why bother to ask for his own life? ”

When the house slave beside Cao Xu heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, and the word "you" rolled to his throat and swallowed it raw.

Even Li Daniu is also muttering in his heart, I am dripping mother, Mrs. said this, poked our men's lung tubes, doesn't this mean that your son-in-law who came to the door died and his sick wife, and he still has a fortune every year if he doesn't do anything, and he can still marry a bride, and come out to toss around.

Cao Xu glanced at the house slaves beside him, and said without changing his face: "Mrs. also mentioned the word 'sit and enjoy', and the word 'sit' is Cao's heart knot." Our Cao family's hereditary military household is not a military position bought by embroidered pillows and silver gun wax heads, and Cao's eldest brother was promoted to the governor of Denglai Tao last year. There are many nephews and nephews of the Cao family who defend the frontier, and they are from the literature, and there are also Jinshi and first. I'm a man who has entered the emperor's family, and the way of civil and military affairs has been tightly blocked, even if there is a lion embroidered on the chest complement, he is like a zombie insect at a young age. When he waited for death like this, Cao was unwilling. ”

Cao Xu said in the end, and his speech slowed down again, revealing loneliness.

"Then you can go into business on your own, why do you want to vote for me?"

"You are Mrs. An Yuan awarded by the national dynasty, you have military merits, you are not an ordinary merchant, your father and brother's pass, Cao is better."

Zheng Haizhu laughed, and simply threw away the last bit of reserve: "Cao Yibin, you are a soft rice eater in the eyes of the world, but eating the soft rice of the heavenly family, in the eyes of Ling Zun and Brother Ling, is still more decent than a trader like us, right?" ”

Cao Xu's face was calm, and he did not accuse: "Madam, I am the youngest son in the family, and my father is now past the sixtieth birthday, I don't want the old man to be angry and hurt himself." ”

"Well......" Zheng Haizhu was a little apologetic for a moment.

People are not low in emotional intelligence, and they show their desire to look down on merchants when they talk about it, they are just authentic ancients, and they care about filial piety very much.

"Cao Yibin, today's narrative, Haizhu is grateful for the warning, and I also understand your ambition to change your future. How about I think about it tomorrow after I think about it for the night? ”

Cao Xu bowed and said, "As it should be, Cao said goodbye." ”

After the car drove differently, in the shaking carriage, Zheng Haizhu picked up the details of Cao Xu's words and pondered them.

After the Fushun Defense War, a knowledgeable minister like Zhang Quan in the Ming court was not carried away by the victory, but set up a Denglai governor to strengthen the military defense of the Shandong Peninsula and contain the Houjin Nurhachi.

Tao Langxian, the prefect of Dengzhou and a native of Zhejiang, who he had dealt with, became the first governor of Denglai. This verse, as it is in line with history, is only two years earlier.

Cao Xu openly mentioned Governor Denglai Tao, and endorsed his brother's military position for his interview, which shows that he did not hide his origin.

When he arrived at the post house, Li Daniu took the initiative to ask: "Madam, do you want your subordinates to investigate that Cao Yibin together?" ”

"Yes, how much can I touch in detail, but this person, I do want to recruit him."

Zheng Haizhu looked at the letterhead in his hand and frowned.

Good birds choose trees to perch, and the reputation of their own side has been made, not to mention the swelling cowhide of the world's heroes, but a man like Cao Xu, who still has a little ambition, takes the initiative to run over, but it may not be strange.

What's more, the letter from Dong Qichang, who was delivered to the post house yesterday, made Zheng Haizhu temporarily need a useful person to go to Nanyang with Gu and Han.

Because, her own business trip destination had to be changed, from going to Vietnam to going to Beijing, the capital of the Ming Empire.
