After the rebirth of the ancestor in the last days, he exploded! Chapter 188: The Rebellious Officials and Traitors got off the carriage and stood at the door of Dinghe Restaurant. A group of children came down from several carriages following behind.
"Today we have become the kings of children!"
King Qian silently counted in his heart. There were seven and a half-year-old children in the Xia family, plus his own Li Yuzhu, two behind the other. The princess was right when she said she became the king of children today.
"Let's go up first. There are too many people standing at the door."
The second floor of Dinghe Restaurant.
In the private room.
King Qian, Xia Jing, Li Yuzhu and the children of the Xia family were sitting around the big round table.
This was the first time for the children to come to Dinghe Restaurant after coming to Lingnan. They were all surprised to see the waiter serving them.
Each boy has a cup of water chestnut juice, and each girl has a cup of longan tea, along with various snacks. At least while watching the dragon and lion dance upstairs, the children will not be idle.
"If you want to watch the dragon and lion dance, just lie down by the window and watch. Don't be restrained when you come out to play."
Xia Jing saw that the children did not dare to speak loudly in front of King Qian, so she comforted them.
After listening to Xia Jing's words, the children glanced at King Qian and saw him smiling at them. The bolder children stood up and moved their chairs to the window to sit down, so that they could sit and eat snacks while watching.
To the dragon and lion dance team on the street.
The timid child looked back at King Qian and Xia Jing. Seeing that they had no objection, he boldly moved the chair over.
Now it's better, there are children sitting by the window facing the street.
Li Yuzhu and Li Yingzi are similar in age, so they have a lot of topics in common.
"Now that Sister Yuzhu is engaged, she should feel at ease, right?"
Li Yuzhu lay by the window and looked at the flow of people downstairs, shaking her head: "It's still the same as before. The only difference is probably that I don't have to attend banquets frequently to deal with the ladies in charge."
"Are you bothered by the banquet? I wanted to attend the banquet but no one invited me."
Li Yingzi's tone was a bit sour, as her family's situation was too ordinary.
She is the daughter of Xia Jing's sister Xia Ni. Although her surname is also Li, her surname is very different from that of the royal family. The Li family is just an ordinary small business owner.
Back then, he and the Xia family opened a shop in the town. Later, the two families got married, and the situation did not change much.
What really changed was that the Li family's situation improved after Xia Jing married into Prince Qian's palace and became a princess.
Taking advantage of Princess Qian's style, many powerful local squires gave the Li family some face, which led to the improvement of the Li family's business.
But even with such an east wind, even a pig can fly into the sky, but perhaps because the Li family is not good at doing business, more than ten years have passed, and they are still standing still, with little growth in their family business.
The way outsiders would describe the Li family is: A Dou who cannot be helped!
Li Yuzhu patted her hand and comforted her: "You are still young. You can choose your fiancé slowly. You must choose the one that suits your heart."
After all, Li Yingzi was still young and wouldn't pay attention to annoying things for too long. As soon as he heard her words, his attention was drawn to her.
She leaned over and asked with a gossipy face: "What do you mean by this, Mr. Yuan San is very suitable to your liking?"
Speaking of Mr. Yuan San, Li Yuzhu couldn't help but blush a little. She quietly looked back at Xia Jing and Prince Qian and saw that they didn't notice them.
She then whispered: "Fortunately, he looks majestic and cares about me. It's hard for me to find faults in him. Besides, there is no perfect man in this world."
"Oh~"
Li Yingzi made a long note, thoughtfully.
She touched Li Yuzhu and asked in a low voice: "My family background is not as good as yours. It seems a little difficult to find a man with a good family background. You said that if I find a talented scholar but a poor family, and then train him, let him be a good man."
How good will he be to me all his life?"
Li Yuzhu: "."
After a long time, as if he had digested what he just said, Li Yuzhu asked in surprise: "Do you want to stage a love story between a poor scholar and a rich daughter?"
After hearing this, Li Yingzi rolled her eyes and said, "My family is at least a little wealthy, but it's still far from being a wealthy family."
Li Yuzhu retorted unconvinced: "Just because you are my grandmother's niece, you will not be able to marry badly in the future. So, you are still young, don't think about whether you have these things in your mind, and grow up well."
Li Yingzi shook her head and said in an old-fashioned way: "You don't understand. If people don't have long-term worries, they will have immediate worries. Important events in life should be considered in advance."
Li Yuzhu: "."
Well, everyone’s worries are different!
There are so many things to consider in this world.
Xia Jing saw that the two little girls were excited about chatting, so she left King Qian and came over, "What are you two talking about? Is the dragon and lion dance downstairs good?"
"grandmother."
"Aunt."
"Eh!" There were loud gongs and drums outside, and Xia Jing found that the members of the dragon and lion dance team were all good-looking.
Li Yuzhu looked downstairs and asked curiously: "Did grandma find anything?"
"I found that the dragon and lion dancers downstairs are very strong. They are far different from the soldiers we are recruiting this year!"
Xia Jing pursed her lips. During the military recruitment, the men who came to apply were all thin and thin. When they arrived at the military camp, they had to train and raise meat for them.
It turned out that all the strong men who were ready were recruited by these dragon and lion dance teams.
"This situation is normal. Powerful families spend a lot of money on these people every year. How can their bodies not be strong?"
Xia Jing and the two little girls looked back at King Qian who was standing behind them.
Xia Jing shook her head, "That's not all. Didn't you notice that the chassis of these team members is very stable and their steps are light?"
Li Yuzhu looked downstairs, paying special attention to their steps, "Not to mention, after my grandmother reminded me, I really found out that these people are not simple. They all seem to have a foundation in martial arts."
Xia Jing smiled and rubbed her head: "Zhu'er is right, their martial arts skills are not low. These are the talents our army urgently needs."
King Qian knew that Anu had investigated the details of various aristocratic families, but he actually heard him mention it.
"The team members recruited by the major aristocratic families are basically from Jihua Township." As he said this, King Qian smiled and asked, "Has the princess heard of Jihua Township?"
Xia Jing raised her eyebrows, "I don't know!"
King Qian was proud that he finally found something that he knew but the princess didn't know. "Jihua Township is a famous martial arts town in Lingnan. The Southern Martial Arts originated from here. The people in Jihua Township have been influenced by martial arts since they were young and have the conditions to do so."
Some families start training their children at the age of three, while families without conditions will let their children learn a few tricks even if they create conditions."
Li Yuzhu said in shock: "According to what my grandfather said, do the people in Jihua Township have a foundation in martial arts?"
King Qian laughed loudly after hearing this, glanced at Xia Jing, and replied: "That's more or less the case."
Xia Jing wondered whether Jihua Township would be Foshan in later generations?
Foshan in later generations has extremely profound historical and cultural heritage.
The hometown of overseas Chinese, the hometown of pottery, the hometown of Cantonese opera, the hometown of dragon boats, there are simply not too many places to call it!
"Aunt, Yuzhu, look at that man, he's so handsome!"
Li Yingzi's exclamation made Xia Jing come back to her senses. When she looked outside, not to mention a purple dragon, the person dancing with the dragon's head was too eye-catching.
He has a strong posture, three-dimensional facial features, and tight pursed lips. The most eye-catching thing should be the coldness and alienation between his eyebrows.
This person's temperament seemed familiar. Xia Jing took a closer look and saw it!
acquaintance!
Isn’t this guy Tong Song, the eldest young master of the Tong family?
In addition to having a good skin, he still has some abilities, but he is too proud!
"Young masters from these aristocratic families in Lingnan are still keen on dragon and lion dancing?"
This has reached the point where I have to go on stage in person, and there is no other explanation other than love.
Li Yingzi turned around in surprise: "Auntie, do you know the person below?"
Xia Jing looked at Li Yingzi's shining almond eyes and was speechless for a moment: "."
"Auntie, do you know who he is?" Li Yingzi watched the dragon lantern dance team go away, she turned around and asked again.
Xia Jing coughed slightly and said, "Well, he is the eldest young master of the Tong family, one of the four major families in Lingnan. His name is Tong Song."
"Wow, young master from an aristocratic family, his family background is better than mine!"
"Ahem, your family background is not bad either!" King Qian couldn't stand hearing it anymore. He couldn't bear to see the little girl belittle him.
According to Xia Jing's point of view, the status of the princess's niece is not bad.
Xia Jing looked at the two red clouds on the little girl's face and felt extremely envious.
It's great to be a little girl. The estrogen in your body is secreted strongly. When you see a handsome man, you blush and your heart beats. This feeling should be good.
It's a pity that she has entered middle age!
Of course, according to later generations, Xia Jing is not too old at this age, and at most she can only be classified as an advanced maternal age.
Then I looked back at King Qian. Although he was good-looking when he was young, he was still eye-catching!
Although the fat man he once was has lost weight, but after losing weight, the skin on his body is too loose and his age is obvious. How can he compare with his younger and energetic brothers?
"Auntie, where are these dragon and lion dance teams passing by downstairs going?"
Xia Jing looked down and said, "This is not the best place to watch. I asked Ye Fei to find out where these teams are going to gather."
King Qian, who was standing behind, touched his nose. He overestimated the butler's ability to do things.
Just as he was about to inquire, Anu knocked on the door and walked in.
"Your Majesty, Princess, dear mistresses, there are especially many people coming out to watch the dragon and lion dance this year. Due to venue issues, we finally decided to move the dragon and lion dance competition venue to the North Square."
"Chengbei Square!"
That is the large square in front of Xinfu Yamen. It can gather tens of thousands of people without any problem.
Xia Jing stood up and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go there quickly."
"But, we don't have a private room reserved in the north city square." Anu said in a low voice.
This is a lack of consideration on their part as slaves. If the masters can't have fun, it's their fault.
Xia Jing opened the door, listened to his words, and said with a smile: "Don't forget, who built the buildings in the north of the city? I built the north of the city and have the best shops in the north of the city. My salt shop has a wide view, that is,
Best place to watch.”
Children cheer!
The salt shop in the north of the city occupies the best location and sells the cheapest salt. It is Xia Jing's fourth salt store in Fucheng, Lingnan.
The store is five stories high, with the first floor being a salt shop, and the second to fifth floors being where Xia Jing plans to give Xia Ji her office.
That is Xia Ji headquarters.
Xia Ji Salt Shop is said to be a salt shop, but actually it sells quite a variety of things.
Things like kelp, jasmine tea, dried seafood, cane sugar, longan meat, etc. are all on sale.
Moreover, these goods are very popular with foreign merchants, and their sales performance has been good.
For example, jasmine tea, dried seafood, cane sugar, longan meat, etc. used to be the most common items in grocery stores.
But in Xia Jing's hands, the goods are carefully selected and then packaged in high-end and high-end porcelain bottles. The packages are available in various sizes to meet the needs of different customers.
With this kind of packaging, the price of these dry goods has increased several times as the grade has improved.
Fifth Floor Xia Jing thought it was too hot in summer, so she set up an office on the fourth floor.
As soon as the children entered the office, they all ran to the floor-to-ceiling windows to watch the dragon and lion dance competition in the square.
Xia Jing looked at King Qian who was strolling in from behind and said, "Please do as you please."
King Qian nodded and found a sofa to sit on. The soft cushions were very comfortable to sit on. "Princess, you know how to enjoy yourself."
Xia Jing said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I'm not as good as you."
King Qian: ".I sincerely praise you."
Xia Jing raised the corners of her lips slightly, "I also sincerely praise you."
"."
This woman is really capable of making people angry!
King Qian turned his head and looked out the window, and changed the topic, "Princess, your window here is too big, right?"
"My lord, this is called a floor-to-ceiling window!"
King Qian looked at Xia Jing as if he were an idiot.
Xia Jing was looked at inexplicably, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
King Qian pointed to the window, "You have also seen the violent storms in Lingnan this summer. I heard the locals in Lingnan say that the wind and rain this year are not bad. If your window is faced with what the locals call a hurricane, it can survive
live?"
"."
Xia Jing was silent. No one could say what the situation would be like when faced with a hurricane.
But if she was afraid of hurricanes and designed the windows to be very small, Xia Jing couldn't do it.
The windows are too small and really block the view.
Thinking of this, Xia Jing remembered the flat glass that did not exist in this era.
If glass is manufactured, such solid wood lattice windows and glass will really not be afraid of hurricanes.
Unless there is an unprecedented super hurricane!
"There are still a few months until this year's hurricane season. There are always more solutions than difficulties. Let's think of other solutions then."
"My princess is still open-minded."
Xia Jing wanted to touch her forehead. Why did she feel so awkward hearing these words from King Qian?
"princess."
Ye Fei's shout came from outside the door.
"Please come in!"
Xia Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Fei opened the door and walked in, walked quickly to Xia Jing and handed her a letter.
Xia Jing took it and looked at the paint on it, which was intact.
"Whose letter is this?" King Qian couldn't help but ask.
Xia Jing did not reply to his words, so she opened the letter and read it carefully before handing it to King Qian.
King Qian took the letter and asked, "What does the letter say?"
Xia Jing: "You see for yourself, your leisurely days won't last long."
"This is unreasonable, they are all rebellious ministers, all rebellious ministers and traitors!" After reading the letter, King Qian was so angry that he slapped the table and yelled.
This sudden situation frightened the children sitting in front of the window.
"When Dayu was in danger, they actually went their own way without caring about the Emperor Jiankang. What do they want to do? Want to change the dynasty?"
