Bao Qin stepped forward with a generous smile and let Mrs. Zhou look her up and down. Only then did Jia Jing realize that Bao Qin also had the qualifications to be a movie queen. When facing her elders, she didn't show her usual naughty look at all.
The Jia sisters were also appropriately generous and decent.
Only when facing relatives, uh...and myself, I get a little naughty. It looks like two people, the little thing has two faces!
Jia Jing thought jokingly, Mrs. Zhou looked at Bao Qin who looked very satisfied, and then said to Jia Jing: "Is this girl called Bao Qin?"
Jia Jing nodded and said to Mrs. Zhou: "Yes, Bao Qin and Xue Biao are the queens of Ziwei's family, Duke Xue." Mrs. Zhou was very surprised when she heard this, but also a little confused.
The surprise is naturally a surprise. The name Ziwei Sheren sounds very extraordinary. It seems that Baoqin is a queen from a famous family! No wonder she looks so decent and generous!
But I am also very confused, who is Ziwei Sheren...?
Mrs. Zhou looked at Zhou Huan, who smiled and said: "We are old friends in Huiyu's family. Didn't you say before that King Xue of Jia Shi is the Xue inside."
Mrs. Zhou was stunned when she heard this, and then she smiled and talked to Baoqin, but it was not as lively as before. Mrs. Zhou knew the Xue family, and although they were good old friends, the status of Huangshang was unavoidable...
Of course Bao Qin could feel it, but she still forced a smile on her face, but she felt a little sad in her heart. She could feel the enthusiasm of Master Jia Jing...
However, Bao Qin and Bao Chai are different. Bao Chai may sometimes feel sad and inferior because of her own life experience and her brother's incompetence, but Bao Qin does not feel that as the daughter of a businessman, she is inferior!
Although Mrs. Zhou feels that the businessman's daughter is not worthy of Jia Jing, she is the guest brought by Jia Jing after all. Even if Mrs. Zhou does not regard her as Jia Jing's daughter-in-law, she still likes her very much. After all, Bao Qin seems to be smart and smart.
And she is a very beautiful girl. In fact, just looking at her appearance, Mrs. Zhou even feels that her identity is not that important...
Even a businessman's daughter can't accept looking like this!
So Mrs. Zhou very kindly took Bao Qin's hand and went there, telling the men to talk to them, and they women to talk together behind the scenes.
Jia Jing didn't say anything. He was busy introducing Xue Biao to Zhou Huan and Lin Ruhai. Although both of them were elder-level figures, Xue Biao was not someone who had never seen the scene before, so it was natural at this time.
Not the slightest bit at a loss.
Jia Jing smiled and said: "Xue Biao is still very capable when he works with me. The only thing is that he is a little too honest. Although he is also loyal, he is inevitably a little roundabout."
When Zhou Huan and Lin Ruhai heard this, they both knew what Jia Jing meant. It seemed that they wanted to praise Xue Jing and ask them to give Xue Jing some guidance. With the two of them guiding Xue Jing, no matter what they said, they were considered to be for Xue Jing.
It's building momentum, isn't it?
So Zhou Huan and Lin Ruhai both encouraged Xue Biao with words. Xue Biao hurriedly bowed and listened. Zhou Huan smiled and said: "The nature is still good. As long as you keep your heart, you will eventually achieve something."
Xue Biao happily thanked Zhou Huan. Zhou Huan thought for a while and said: "The name Biao is too young. A man still needs to be a little domineering."
Jia Jing nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "His cousin is called Xue Pan, and his courtesy name is Wenlong. Perhaps he took advantage of this name and acted very recklessly! It seems that the two brothers should change their personalities.
yes!"
Zhou Huan nodded, twisted his beard and smiled: "How about I change your name? I'm here to cheer you up, and I'm also here to wish you a bright future. Of course, if your name is chosen by your parents, they don't want to be random.
If you change it, forget it."
Xue Biao was overjoyed when he heard this. Not to mention that his name was only obtained by the elders of the Xue family, even if it was really his parents who got it, he would have to throw it away!
If Xue Ben and the others knew that Zhou Huan wanted to change his son's name, they would have been so surprised! This man is now a literary leader! The Xue family is a wealthy businessman's family, how could He De get such a good name?
Are noble people favored?
Why didn't Daiyu feel disgusted when Jia Jing gave her small characters? With their status, when they give people names, even if they name them Zhang San Li Si Wang Er Mazi, people have to think about whether there is any deep meaning and they are too superficial.
I don’t understand...
So at this time Xue Pan was very surprised and said: "Thank you, Mr. Sir, for the name!" Zhou Huan smiled, and then said: "Your brother is called Xue Pan, Pan, which means winding and coiling, so he is called Wenlong, the elder and the younger.
Orderly, don't be higher than your brother, Qiu is a horned dragon, and has the same origin as the dragon, so why not just call him Xue Qiu?"
Xue Biao thought to himself, while Jia Jing quickly smiled and said: "Good! Excellent! He has to be sir! If it were anyone else, he would never be able to think of it again."
Zhou Huan hummed twice and glanced at Jia Jing with a half-smile but not a smile: "Don't put gold on my teacher's face! It's up to you whether it's good or not, this is his name!"
Then he looked at Xue Qiu and said with a smile: "I wonder what you think of this name?" Xue Qiu happily bowed and said: "Thank you sir for the name! From now on, my name will be Xue Qiu!"
The name Zhou Huan was chosen quite well. This is not the case these days. Baidu can be used at any time. Therefore, in this era, if a person can speak in detail or even explain a word clearly, he is definitely considered knowledgeable!
This is why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would ask Dongfang Shuo if he had anything he didn't understand or something he hadn't seen before, because Dongfang Shuo was like a "humanoid Baidu".
This is why the imperial court has to support so many Hanlin Academy scholars, so that when the emperor does not understand something, they can be asked to check the vast royal collection. In an era when information is scarce, only in this way can
Gain knowledge and "search" for things you don't know.
For example, Bangla (today's Bangladesh) paid tribute to Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, with a strange animal that no one had ever seen. Finally, after a long search of classics by the Imperial Academy, they unanimously determined that this thing was the legendary one.
Kirin!
This is a tributary unicorn from a subordinate country. God bless our Ming Dynasty! It is auspicious! Zhu Di was deceived by them so much that he believed that this thing was really a unicorn, and he even ordered someone to draw a picture of it.
It is the legendary "Picture of Kirin Paying Tribute to Bangla".
If you are interested, you can search it yourself. Modern people should be able to tell what this unicorn is at a glance...
Obviously the Hanlin officials are not that reliable, but in this era, there are no dictionaries or encyclopedias for you to consult, so someone like Zhou Huan who can explain the allusions in detail just by casually speaking a word,
He can definitely be called a cultural person among educated people! He is definitely worthy of his title of great Confucian!
Zhou Huan heard that Xue Qiu might be called Xue Qiu now. Xue Qiu was so excited that he couldn't help wiping his beard and nodded with a smile: "It's fine if you like it. It's just that this matter is serious, so we should discuss it with your family."
All at once.”
Xue Qiu nodded quickly when he heard this and said: "Yes! I will go back and write a letter in a while to tell my parents the good news!" Zhou Huan smiled bitterly when he heard this. He asked you to discuss it, but it's better for you to just give it a notice...
Lin Ruhai on the side also smiled when he saw this and said: "Since Wenhe has changed your name for you, I can't help but express it. After all, you and I are still relatives, and we should be closer than Wenhe!"
When Xue Qiu heard this, he quickly said yes. From the perspective of the four major families of Jia Shi Wang Xue, Lin Ruhai, as the son-in-law of the Jia family, must be regarded as the elder of Xue Qiu Zhenger, so Lin Ruhai did not say much to Xue Qiu,
He twisted his beard and smiled and said: "You are not too young now. Since Wenhe has chosen a name for you, then I will choose a name for you!"
Xue Qiu was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly stood up to say thank you. Lin Ruhai smiled, thought for a while and said: "Your brother is called Wenlong, how about you be called Wenjiao?"
[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on updates. It allows me to switch between sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]
When Xue Qiu heard this, he stood up and thanked him hurriedly. Lin Ruhai was his elder, and Lin Ruhai's "status in the world" was not low, so this time Xue Qiu could be said to have made a lot of money. Whoever sees him in the future, Xue Qiu
Even with his name, you have to consider that he is the junior under the care of Zhou Huan and Lin Ruhai!
Don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face. Just based on this, whoever wants to touch Xue Qiu in the future will have to give Zhou Huan and Lin Ruhai some thin air. This has already made Xue Qiu's public opinion full. It can be said that this time he goes out.
loss.
Therefore, Jia Jing accepted it as soon as it was good and stopped pushing Xue Qiu. Everyone was chatting. Zhou Huan and others were also more concerned about the situation in Shenjing. Jia Jing said: "The situation in Beijing has not changed much.
There is something that may involve Yangzhou, and I need my uncle to pay more attention to it."
Lin Ruhai and Zhou Huan looked at each other when they heard this, and said to Jia Jing seriously: "I don't know what is going on?" Jia Jing looked at Lin Ruhai and said: "There has been a big incident in the capital recently. Zhang Gong, the Minister of Household Affairs, stole and sold national grains.
.”
Lin Ruhai was shocked when he heard this: "Master Zhang stole and sold national grain? How is this possible!?" Jia Jing continued: "This case has been determined. His Majesty personally issued an order. Master Zhang has been..."
Lin Ruhai stood up in shock: "How is that possible! How could your Majesty..."
As Lin Ruhai spoke, his face suddenly turned pale, apparently thinking of something. Jia Jing sighed helplessly, and then said to Lin Ruhai: "The right minister of the Ministry of Finance is currently in charge of Tanjing, but he is only in charge temporarily, so
It is very likely that His Majesty will promote the Minister of Household Affairs in the near future, and I guess my uncle may be promoted to the position."
Lin Ruhai slowly shook his head when he heard this, frowned tightly and said to Jia Jing: "Please Ninghou, please tell me the whole thing."
When Jia Jing heard Lin Ruhai say this, she almost knelt on the ground, please don't be so polite to me! So Jia Jing smiled awkwardly and said: "You can just call me Huiyu, how can I have the nerve to show off in front of you...
………”
Lin Ruhai couldn't care less about the issue of title. He nodded and said to Jia Jing: "Hui Yu, tell us the whole story. This matter is of great importance!"
Hearing this, Jia Jing told all the details about Zhang Gongyu. The more Lin Ruhai listened, the uglier his face became. Finally, he asked Jia Jing: "Who are the four so-called salt merchants who provide channels for Mr. Zhang to sell stolen goods?"
Home?"
Jia Jing was stunned when he heard this, then scratched his head and said: "I really don't know about this...but there are people under me who should know. I'll ask them to come up and ask."
Lin Ruhai suppressed the ominous premonition in her heart and smiled at Jia Jing: "Thank you for your help." Jia Jing quickly apologized and said with a smile: "No, no, no, you are too polite. This is what I should do. What can you do?
Just give me your orders, don't be polite, but don't bother me, I'll go now!"
Zhou Huan, who had been silent all the time, was keenly aware that Jia Jing seemed to be trying to please, so he couldn't help but look at Lin Ruhai and Jia Jing interestingly, and then twirled his beard thoughtfully.
Jia Jing asked Xue Biao to call Qingfeng up. Qingfeng had been following Jia Jing, so when Xue Biao went out and called, Qingfeng hurried in. He met Jia Jing first, and Jia Jing asked him to meet him.
After passing Lin Ruhai and Zhou Huan, Qingfeng also bowed.
Then Jia Jing asked: "Do you know which salt merchants provided Mr. Zhang with channels to sell stolen goods in Mr. Zhang's case?"
Qingfeng was stunned when he heard this, but after glancing at Lin Ruhai who was looking at him, he knew that Jia Jing was probably asking for Lin Ruhai, so he thought about it and replied: "We have archived files on the whole matter, Mr. Hou."
Want to check?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jia Jing nodded and said: "Bring it here." Qingfeng took the order, his speed was very fast, and the people from Qiankun Gua were there.
It was passed through the middle, so it was quickly delivered to Jia Jing.
Jia Jing unfolded the file and took a look at it, then handed the file to Lin Ruhai with both hands and said: "Uncle, please take a look." Lin Ruhai took it with a solemn expression. After looking at it carefully, he stood up and said: "Sure enough, it is so.
!As expected!"
Jia Jing and Zhou Huan were stunned. They were both a little overwhelmed by Lin Ruhai's sudden excitement. Zhou Huan asked doubtfully: "Ruhai, what did you see? Don't get excited. Sit down and talk slowly."
Where can Lin Ruhai sit? He handed the file to Zhou Huan and said, "Look, Wenhe, look! It is indeed these four families!" Zhou Huan took the file and looked at it. Although his face was not ugly, he fell silent.
Seeing this, Jia Jing asked with some confusion: "Is there any problem with these four families?" Zhou Huan raised his head and sighed and said to Jia Jing: "The Huang family, the Zheng family, the Jiang family, and the Wang family. Except for the Wang family, the other three families have always been
There are several families who have a close relationship with Ruhai and advocate easing the relationship between salt merchants and the imperial court."
Jia Jing couldn't help being shocked when she heard this. Lin Ruhai knocked on the table and said: "This is a game! A complete scam!!!" After saying that, he couldn't sit still anymore and stood up excitedly. Zhou Huan remained silent and did not speak, but
Jia Jing, who was familiar with Zhou Huan, knew that this was a sign of Zhou Huan's anger. His eyes were lowered and his lips were pressed together tightly.
Lin Ruhai walked with her hands behind her back and said coldly: "I knew there would be a day like this. If they rebel, if they rebel, they are going to rebel! They deceive the superiors and conceal the truth, and they think they can hide it from others!"
Lin Ruhai stood still and said in a deep voice with an extremely ugly face: "The most important thing is that they want us to abolish our martial arts!"
Jia Jing frowned tightly. Lin Ruhai was right. This was one of the symbols that the Yangzhou salt merchants were about to start civil strife. If those four families knew that they were stabbed in the back by the other four, how could they let this matter go?
What's more important is that except for the people in Yangzhou City, no one knows the situation in Yangzhou. In other words, in Shenjing City, in the eyes of Emperor Yongxi, these four families are still among the four that need to be punished and exterminated!
For being involved in the serious crime of stealing and selling national food, no one from these four families could survive!
Obviously the three of them wanted to go together at this time. Lin Ruhai raised his head and said in a deep voice: "This matter must be reported to Your Majesty as soon as possible. There must be no difference between these four families, otherwise all the hard work I have spent in Yangzhou City over the years will really be lost."
Everything is ruined! Cough! Cough!”
As he said this, Lin Ruhai started coughing violently uncontrollably. Zhou Huan frowned slightly and said, "Ruhai, please be patient! Your bones are not good. If you get hurt because of this, it will be more harm than good!"
Lin Ruhai coughed violently for a long time before waving his hands and saying, "Wen He! I'm so anxious! If we wait for all the documents from the four families to be confiscated to Yangzhou City, it will be too late to regret it!"
Jia Jing hurriedly said: "Uncle, you can write a memorial in handwriting, and I will send my sergeant Xingye Ma to deliver it to the Nine Palace Palace in front of His Majesty!" Lin Ruhai sighed helplessly and said: "This can only be done now, the four families are at stake.
The current situation in Yangzhou City is already very complicated. If the four major salt merchants are wiped out at once, the city will collapse in an instant!"
Lin Ruhai has worked hard for more than ten years to create the current situation in Yangzhou, allowing the imperial court to have a hand in the impenetrable city of Yangzhou and gain a foothold among the eight major salt merchants!
What those salt merchants did this time was clearly to eliminate all the help from the imperial court in Yangzhou City! If all four of them were wiped out, the imperial court would really have abandoned its martial arts and would want to interfere in Yangzhou's salt affairs from now on.
I’m afraid it’s going to be even more difficult!
First he lost his legitimate son, then his first wife, and after being separated from his beloved daughter for so many years, he worked hard and exhausted all his energy before reaching the court's hand into the city of Yangzhou. How could Lin Ruhai just sit back and watch all of this disappear and fail in vain!
Therefore, in a moment of madness, he actually asked Jia Jing in a deep voice: "I wonder if Huiyu can stay in Yangzhou City for a while?" Jia Jing was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Lin Ruhai's eyes flashed with a dangerous cold light and said: "I would like to ask Huiyu to promote the Yangzhou Guards to prevent the thieves from jumping over the wall if they see something happening!" When Jia Jing heard this, his whole body suddenly became excited, and the hairs on the back of his neck started to stand up.
Xiang Lin Ruhai's eyes also became a little strange...
Darling, his father-in-law looks like a sickly, elegant, middle-aged and handsome man, but in fact he is very cruel and ruthless, and he is not merciless at all!
