The water in Wuxi has not yet receded, but the overall situation has stabilized, and the villages that are not threatened by the flood have also completed the fields one after another.

Now that he has jumped back, Zou Wang's head is still bright, and he sent someone to help Ning Jue Litian.

And Zou Wang himself went to the Gu family's shack in person these days, and went to the "shed" to visit and apologize.

"Old lady, I really didn't think about it so much earlier, it's me Meng Lang, don't be surprised."

Mrs. Gu sat in the shack, her face was pale and she didn't say a word.

Zou Wang's heart was crossed, and he kowtowed to himself and said: "If the old lady doesn't dislike it, I, Zou Wang, will recognize you as a godmother in the future." ”

After that, Zou Wang had three rings, "dong", "dong" and "dong".

Until Gu Qing, who was beside the old lady of the Gu family, said: "Mrs. Tai, ......" Gu Qing's voice did not fall.

The old lady of the Gu family had a tight eye.

"What do you call me?"

Gu Qinglang hesitated for a moment, and then said with some discomfort: "Godmother, Zou Yuanwai is also our Xishan people, and they all live in the neighborhood. ”

Fang Cai Zou Wang was a little familiar when he saw Gu Qing, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Zou Wang suddenly remembered.

Isn't this the little maid who follows Ning Jue every day?!

"Madame, who is this ......?"

Mrs. Gu finally took care of Zou Wang.

"This is the goddaughter I recognized in my early years, and Zou Yuanwai knows me?"

Looking at Gu Qinglang who was standing next to Mrs. Gu Jiatai, Zou Wang finally understood why Ning Jue was able to settle so quickly in Xishan Litian.

But Zou Wang has changed ships after all, and there is no need to break some things again.

"Girl! In the future, I will be your third brother, we are all a family, if you talk about something, the third brother will never say anything! ”

It was only at this time that the old lady of the Gu family had a slight smile on her face.

The neighbors in the world who have only heard of it for 500 years have never heard of the Shangshu that has been written for 500 years.

If you can't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it is enough to convince the Zou family.

Gu Qinglang glanced at the old lady, and then looked forward to the Gu family's ancestral house.

"Third brother, this ......?"

Zou Wang's heart was overjoyed when he heard this, and he got up from the ground.

"Don't worry, my godmother did something foolish before, so all the old neighbors in Xiguan have moved back, and my Zou family will pay the money to build a house for everyone again."

"It just so happens that there are so many disaster victims in the city, and it is not a way to be idle all day, so I just came to Xiguan to help, and I can eat some wages to supplement my family."

Hearing Zou Wang say this, the old lady of the Gu family couldn't stop laughing.

"Cheng, the children and grandchildren are filial, and my old lady is relieved, without the neighbors around here, my heart is really empty."

Zou Wang cautiously looked at Mrs. Gu and asked, "Then ...... our shack?" ”

"Let's tear it down, I'll go to the city for a while and clean up my things."

"Hey."

Looking at Mrs. Gu's reaction, Zou Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

As for spending money.

After picking up such a large amount of family property in vain, Zou Wang will not be stingy with spending money at all.

After instructing the affairs of Xiguan, Zou Wang glanced at the sun, pinched his fingers to calculate the time, and then hurriedly returned to the county office.

When Ning Jue finished the acres of land in the Huishan area and returned to the county yamen, Zou Wang had already waited in the yamen with a few gentlemen.

There is no major incident in Xishan, and Litian is also in order, yesterday Zou Wang heard that Ning Jue, who really had no money in his pocket, was already packing his bags and preparing to go back to Jinling to eat Zhu Xizhong.

After all, the disaster relief has nothing to do with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Ning Jue is not a matter of being in Xishan.

If you don't see you again, you won't see it, and the errand of the Maigong bus agent hasn't been completed yet.

"Ning Baixian, I have offended a lot before, so I will compensate you first."

Ning Jue didn't have a good impression of Zou Wang.

But now he had no reason to kill Zou Wang, so he could only give up his hand slightly, and then sat back in the hall and picked up the teacup.

"Zou can still find time to come to Ning this time in his busy schedule, which is really frustrating for Ning."

Zou Wang saw Ning Jue's reaction, but he was not too surprised, obviously McFuy had greeted him in advance, Zou Wang just sat aside and said, "Ning Baixian, do you want to hear Zou tell a story?" ”

Ning Jue raised the teacup in his hand again, smacked the tea and said, "This official is not interested." ”

Zou Wang didn't have a face or skin, as if he hadn't seen the tea in Ning Jue's hand.

"Xishan fellow villagers often say, An Guo, Zou Wang, Hua Linxiang, every day with gold and silver, Brother Haiyue Ning has seen it, isn't Brother Ning curious where An Guo went?"

"Where did you go?"

"Dead."

The county magistrate fell into a dead silence, and after a while, Ning Jue's voice suddenly sounded.

"Come on, fork Zou Wang out to the official!!"

"Don't fork! Don't fork! Zou Wang waved his hand again and again: "An Guo was born in the seventeenth year of Chenghua, and he lived to be ninety years old this year, but he became famous in the Zhengde years, isn't Brother Ning curious about how An started his business?" ”

"I don't care! Bang out. ”

"It's the sea! Sea! ”

Zou Wang hurriedly looked at Ning Jue and said with a wry smile: "Don't fork, it's the sea." ”

Ning Jue was also stunned, and then waved his hand at a few menacing imperial princes in the distance.

"The sea?"

Zou Wang sat back in his seat and said with a sigh of relief: "The world only knows that Guipo started by printing books, but in fact, it is a matter of carving plates, but Guipo has nothing to do in his spare time, and Xishan An's family started by the sea." ”

"In other words, the southeast smugglers can have today's prosperity, and Guipo's contribution is indispensable."

"Therefore, although Guipo has not entered the office, the monarch's father also gave him the title of a straight doctor, a member of the household department, and five kinds of food." At the mention of Jiajing, Zou Wang raised his hand above his head again to show respect.

"It's a pity that in the end, they all made clothes for the nobles."

Ning Jue's brows tightened, staring at Zou Wang and asking, "Who is the noble person you are talking about?" ”

Zou Wang pondered for a moment before he said leisurely: "There are elders and gentlemen in the court, but those are too far away, and it is rare to see them like me, that is, to send the products from the fields to the nobles' hometowns every year through caravans." ”

"But in Jiangnan, the most powerful nobleman at the moment is ......"

Ning Jue's heart tightened.

"Who is it?"

Zou Wang pretended to groan.

Ning Jue couldn't help but turn pale when he saw this.

"It's a sunny day, don't force me to pump you with my own hands."

"The Sweet Springs School."

Zou Wang took a deep breath and continued: "In the third year of Jiajing, when the ceremony was discussed, Mr. Ganquan went to the court to discuss the ceremony, which was a family affair of the Son of Heaven, and had nothing to do with the ministers, so he was appreciated by the Son of Heaven, and he had to control the cultural context of the southern capital for more than ten years. ”

"Who Mr. Ganquan is, you should know."

"Zou Mou's words are all here, and he also wants to assist the county to respect the disaster relief, Zou Mou said goodbye."

After that, Zou Wang bowed to Ning Jue, and then left the county office.

Zou Wang, who was in the carriage, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Father-in-law has been waiting for a long time, the errand ordered by Father-in-law Mai has been completed, there should be no business for me, right?" ”

The chamberlain bowed slightly.

"It's hard work."

Ning Jue in the county government frowned, realizing that the young Jiajing had buried a big thunder for the middle-aged Jiajing after all.

Back then, it seemed that the discussion ceremony used a trivial matter to divide the officials and ministers, but in fact, who is Jiajing's father, the direct interests involved are too small, although the officials are divided, but there are still many people who bet at both ends.

Fang Xianfu took advantage of the muddy water to touch a big fish, and it wasn't until Jiajing wanted to attack the sea ban that these people surfaced little by little.

From time to time, some ministers included the Buddha Lang machine in the tributary list and allowed him to pay tribute from Guangzhou, but they were all blocked by the efforts of Fang Xianfu.

As for who Mr. Ganquan is, Ning Jue knows too well.

Zhan Ruoshui is Wang Shouren's old friend before his death, and among the people of Xinxuemen, he can be regarded as the existence of the top generation.

The most important thing is that the old man is still alive in his eighties.

It is not difficult to see that Jiajing originally wanted Zhan Ruoshui to be a mascot in Jinling, but Jiajing was afraid that he would be killed, but he didn't expect that the old man was over 70 years old and could still lead his disciples to build more than 30 academies in the seven southeastern provinces in one go, and there were more than 3,900 disciples of the Ganquan School who were able to enter the ranks.

"Wouldn't this be if you take out the old bottom of the Ganquan School...... Pick up more than 3,900 sworn enemies for nothing?! ”

Gu Kexue sneaked back to Jinling quietly after Zou Wang came back.

In the next few days, Ning Jue spent almost day and night looking through the Zhan family's books and the reports of the various prefectures in Jiangnan, after all, Gu Qing was taking care of everything on the road, and he didn't have to worry about it.

To Ning Jue's surprise, after having the banner of Zou Wang, almost all the gentry in Jiangnan Province cooperated a lot.

Although there is still some resistance among the gentry in various places, and the number of clan relatives who commit suicide and are killed is still rising, on the whole, it is much smoother than before.

From this point of view, it is only a matter of time before the distance whip method is implemented.

"After returning to Jinling, Qinglang will go back home, take care of the other courtyard in Jinling, and then go back to Xishan to take the old lady to Jinling."

Ning Jue leaned in front of the bookcase and said without replying: "Well, it's good." ”

"The old lady said to accompany her for a few years, and when the old lady is a hundred years old, her annex in Jinling will also be left to me...... Official, the concubine is talking to you! ”

"Isn't that good?"

Gu Qinglang looked at Ning Jue a little anxiously and asked, "Then, it's about to be separated, don't the officials want to tell me much?" ”

Gu Qing's words woke Ning Jue up, and Ning Jue also slapped his head suddenly.

"How did I forget this stubble, you are already the righteous daughter of the old lady of the Gu family!"

After that, Ning Jue looked at Gu Qinglang with a little flattery and asked, "Qingluo, that, I'...... Can I ask you something? ”

Gu Qinglang's cheeks flushed.

"Is that right here?"

"Or else?"

"But this is the ...... ship"

"What's wrong with the ship?"

"Oops." Gu Qinglang casually closed the door and window of the cabin, and then stood in front of Ning Jue delicately, closed his eyes and said softly with some expectation: "The official said, concubine...... The concubines are all according to the officials. ”

Looking at Gu Qinglong, Ning Jue's throat couldn't help but feel a little dry, as if he had mustered up enough courage and said:

"Can you lend me five taels of silver?"
