"Hahaha! I forgot! In Xiajiangtong, people in Jianghu say they know everything about Chujing! Yin Jiangwuyan, the governor of Kyoto, is my father. I am also well-informed in Chujing. I know everything about everything! I sit across from him.
There is nothing I, Jiang Tong, don't know about these official ladies, their surnames, height, measurements, family background, and personalities and habits. Brother, you have asked the right person!" the man said with a proud smile.
Good guy! The governor of Kyoto is responsible for the social order of Chujing. All the yamen in Chujing seem to be under the control of his father. He is also a second-rank official in the court. Is this still a minor official? Except for the prime minister and the prince.
As the head of a hundred officials, the others are at most on the same level as your father, right?
"Disrespectful! With such a high status, why do you want to sit in the back seat? Should you sit in the front seats?" Liu Yueqi asked.
"Ahem..." Jiang Tong seemed to blush for a moment, scratched his head, and said indignantly: "Those bastards looked down on me as a scholar. I was sitting well in the front, but they forced me to come to the back!"
"..." Liu Yueqi was a little confused. Did he really look down on scholars? He drove the son of a dignified second-grade official to the last seat? Liu Yueqi felt that this guy must be lying, but without evidence, he had no choice but to let him go.
, anyway...it seems like I can't afford to offend others.
So he just laughed and said nothing.
"Brother Liuyue, after you said you were a businessman, can you tell me what your family does specifically... I always feel that the surname Liuyue is a bit familiar..." Jiang Tong thought for a while, but still
Continue to ask.
"It's nothing. My father and uncle jointly opened some restaurants. It's good to earn a little money to live a good life...but it's hard to live in a refined society."
"Restaurant...Restaurant..." Jiang Tong patted his head and his eyes lit up: "I remember! Is the Anxiang Restaurant that is very popular recently opened by your family? Liuyueqi...Liuyueqi!
You are the eldest son of Liuyue Mansion! Liuyue Qi! You have unlimited opportunities for making money!"
"???" Only then did Liu Yueqi take a new look at this so-called know-it-all about Chu Jing. He didn't even think about such trivial things, but he also knew what kind of leisure he usually had to do...
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. You see, we have got to know each other. When I go to eat at Anxiang Restaurant, you have to give me a discount! I went to have a meal yesterday and spent a lot of money
I had two taels of silver and was almost beaten to death by my father..."
"Um... If I were here, I would definitely speak to Mr. Jiang. If that doesn't work, I'll just ask him!" Liu Yueqi said, clasping her fists, but in her heart she thought this person was quite interesting. This shameless temperament is not the same as Mr. Jiang's.
He has a fighting chance...but nothing else. Money is something that Liu Yueqi still has in abundance. Real good things cannot be measured by worldly yellow and white things.
"The relationship is so good..." Although he was dressed like a scholar, Jiang Tong still came over and raised his hand to pat Liu Yue's shoulder, and said: "Brother Liu Yue, I see that you seem to be interested in the girls across from you.
It's very big, so whoever you like, as long as I know it, I can basically help you get all their information... including those that are more private, I can find out, and get this information, you can pursue it.
Wouldn’t it be much more convenient to get up!”
Did I show it so obviously?
Liu Yueqi was stunned for a moment, and the person who just called Liu Yue brother Liu Yue brother started to call him brother now. It seems that in this regard, you really consider yourself a senior...
However, there is a saying that he is quite interested in the gossip of noble ladies like Chu Jing... This seems to be something engraved in a man's bones and will not disappear just because of who is around him... In addition,
Qing'er isn't around at the moment, so I'll pay attention secretly... There should be nothing wrong with her!
"Brother Jiang, are you serious about what you said?" Liu Yueqi immediately showed an I-know-you smile: "Brother Jiang, can you really get information about those official ladies?"
"Of course! Is it true that people in the world call Chu Jing a know-it-all?" Jiang Tong patted his chest and said with a stern eye, "I just saw that you are very interested in the person at the head of the women's table, right?"
"I feel ashamed to say it... I have a low status and I really don't know any of the ladies across from me. The girl at the head table must be Prime Minister Wang's daughter! She really can be called a shy flower...
"
"Oh! You guessed it right. That girl is indeed Wang Erzhe's daughter, and she is the treasure in the old man's palm! She is an incredible treasure, and in terms of beauty and figure, she is considered top-notch in the whole of Chujing! But... it's just...
This woman is terrible, brother, you should find someone else..." Jiang Tong immediately whispered to Liu Yueqi.
"Brother Jiang is joking... I am the daughter of a prime minister, how can I reach such a high level as a commoner!" Liu Yueqi said with a wry smile.
"This is not a question of whether one wants to be high or not. Wang Erzhe was born as the head of the civil service. Marrying his daughter to a businessman can lower the King of Chu's guard... If he really marries His Highness the Crown Prince... the merging of civil servants and military generals, the King of Chu will
I really don’t necessarily agree!” Jiang Tong’s voice became lower and lower, knowing that what he said was a bit treacherous and must not be spread out.
"Oh? Brother Jiang, please tell me. What does marrying the heir apparent mean?" Liu Yueqi suddenly ate a big melon, and her curiosity was immediately aroused.
"You may not know that Wang Shishi's matter is no longer a secret among us officials' children. She... is in love with Crown Prince Chu Yun, and even said, 'I won't marry anyone who is not Yun'er brother.'"
If it weren't for the fact that the prince has no intention of marrying a wife, and Prime Minister Wang blocked it, these two people would probably ask the King of Chu for marriage!" Jiang Tong seemed to have endless energy when talking about this: "Brother, think about it, this
Once the head of the civil service and the head of the military generals get married, wouldn't most of the court belong to their families? Although our King of Chu is kind-hearted, he certainly cannot tolerate this happening! In addition, Prince Chu Yun's reputation is already
He is much better than the crown prince. It is better if Chu Gang is on the throne. If Chu Hua takes the throne, wouldn’t he be outcast as soon as he ascends to the throne?"
"But Prince Chu Lie and the King of Chu are one family after all. Whoever becomes the king, the Kingdom of Chu belongs to their Chu family, so why do they need to kill each other..."
Jiang Tong rolled his eyes at him, thinking that this little brother was too naive: "Brother! This is the imperial family. Although there is only one word difference between king and prince, their status is very different! Don't believe it.
, Although our Chu State is a small country and cannot compare with the imperial families of China, intrigues and struggles for power and profit are common!"
Liu Yueqi smiled faintly and didn't say much. He had never met Chu King Chu Gang, nor Prince Chu Lie, so it was too early to draw a direct conclusion. Besides... King Chu Gang was in his prime, so Chu Lie or
Chu Yun wants to be king... unless he rebels! And with King Chu's extremely high status in the hearts of the people, the probability of a successful rebellion is less than 10%...
As long as the King of Chu is still there, the Chu country will definitely not be in chaos. Even if you, the civil servants and the generals, unite, the King of Chu will have a lot of time to deal with you!
"Brother Jiang, as the son of a court official, it's not good for you to talk about the royal family behind your back. Aren't you afraid that I will report you?" Liu Yueqi squinted and joked.
"Hey, hey! I'm telling you so much because I think you are a friend! When I look at Brother Liuyue, he doesn't look like the kind of person who betrays his friends!" Jiang Tong looked filled with grief and anger: "Don't ever betray me!
"
Liu Yueqi secretly laughed in her heart, even if I wanted to report it, your father would still be in charge of it in the end... If you didn't see that I had no background, how could you dare to tell me this.
"Ahem! Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get back to the business. My little brother, besides Wang Shishi, do you have any other girls you like? For example, the one in red sitting in the sixth row is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
My daughter is not bad, but she is a bit small... But how can I equalize the world if my chest is not flat! My brother, your family is in business, if you have a good relationship with the Ministry of Household Affairs, your money will be unlimited!" Jiang Tong became more and more excited as he spoke:
"Also, look at the girl in purple sitting in the middle. Although her appearance is not as good as the previous ones, her figure... tsk tsk tsk, is even better than that of Wang Shishi, and
She is also the precious daughter of Yuan Wai Zhao, who is a well-known nobleman in Chu Jing. Many members of the family are officials in the government..."
Seeing Jiang Tong, who was getting more and more excited as he talked, Liu Yueqi was speechless.
Liu Yueqi only had a brief understanding of the official ranks of the Chu State, meritorious nobles, etc. Since the Chu State was only a small country, its official system was largely influenced by the Chen State in the Central Plains, but it was not completely copied.
Compared with the complicated officialdom of the Chen State, it is much simpler here. For example, in the Chu State, the six departments in the Central Plains were the Household Department, the Personnel Department, and the Punishment Department. As for the Rites, War, and Works departments, there were no corresponding departments.
official position.
There are also many nobles in Chujing. They are all big families. The whole family has a close relationship with the officialdom. This is something that all dynasties and generations are not exempt from.
However, as he talked, he finally talked about Bai Yeqing, who was sitting at the end of the hall. Since we were talking about beauty, Bai Yeqing, who was basically shining all the time, was an existence that could not be ignored at all.
When Liu Yueqi looked over, she discovered that Sister Xiaobai was chatting wordlessly with the two girls around her. The two girls looked quite happy, but Sister Xiaobai seemed a little confused...
"Brother Jiang, I think the woman in white sitting at the back is pretty good. Do you have any news about her?"
At this time, Liu Yueqi suddenly smiled and said.
Actually, when it comes to pretending to be sexy, Liu Yueqi feels very disgusted when she sees others doing it, but when it's her turn...it feels really good.
Of course, this also has something to do with people. He put on this look first and foremost because he wanted to show off his wife. Of course, he could only show off secretly in front of this Chu Jing know-it-all. If he showed off in front of everyone... Liuyue
Qi is still not that shameless.
Secondly, he also wanted to know that this Chujing Pepsi Notification did not know the information related to Bai Yeqing. To be honest, Sister Xiaobai usually never leaves the house and never steps out of the door. There seems to be only one rumor about Sister Xiaobai... that is
She is very good-looking, and she once attracted the favor of the prince. As for anyone who has really seen Sister Xiaobai’s appearance... that must be very few!
Just when Liu Yueqi looked at Jiang Tong with some confidence, Jiang Tong also looked at the outstandingly beautiful Xiao Bai for a second or two, and then said slowly: "That... seems to be the young lady from Bai Mansion, if
If I remember correctly... isn't that your fiancée?"
Then, Liu Yueqi's smile instantly froze on her face...
