Cheng Riching was considered the most talented among the Qing guests around Jia Zheng.
Of course, people such as Zhan Guang, who was good at painting fine buildings, Ji Haogu, who was good at playing the piano, and Wang Erdiao, who was good at playing chess and opera, were all outstanding cultural figures in later generations.
But Cheng Rixing is more comprehensive than them.
He is a businessman, but he is not a dull rice merchant and cloth merchant. Instead, he runs an antique shop. He has some skills in appreciation. His ability to draw beautiful women is enough that even a wealthy and idle man like Jia Baoyu can call him a "stunt". This shows that he is a businessman.
His artistic accomplishment.
Not everyone is qualified to be an antique dealer. There is also an antique dealer in the original book who was praised by Jia Yucun as "having great abilities" and was praised by Leng Zixing.
Jia Lan has already seen Leng Zixing, and Cheng Rixing's talent is no less than Leng Zixing's.
"After nearly two years of absence, Lange'er has become more and more dazzling. First he won the first place in the Poetry Club, and then won the top prize. If he wins the number one prize in the future, the first person in this dynasty to win three prizes in a row will be born!"
Jia Lan bowed and said, "Mr. Cheng's style remains the same."
Cheng Rixing smiled. He didn't chase him out just to chat with Jia Lan. Seeing that there was no one around, he stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Thanks to Lange'er for helping the governor in advance, otherwise Dong Weng would be released this time."
I’m afraid it’s not peaceful.”
Jia Lan's eyes narrowed slightly: "But what did we encounter? Could it be that we met some bad guy?"
At this moment, he suddenly recalled in his mind the attack on Yuqiu Station when he returned to Beijing.
Cheng Rixing shook his head: "It's still a matter of Qingzhang. Someone got Dong Weng's idea and contacted Shan and Bu privately to donate the land to Dong Weng's name. The two people actually agreed, and then asked Hu
Come and plan."
Jia Lan frowned slightly, almost invisible, and then quietly relaxed: "So those three gentlemen..."
"Yes!" Cheng Rixing nodded, "Dong Weng gave the three of them a last resort and said they were going back to their hometown."
"Then how did you invite Mr. Fang?" What Jia Lan is most concerned about is the origin of Fang Jingzhai. It's not that he looks down on Jia Zheng. In fact, Jia Zheng is considered a first-class gentleman today. He respects his elders at the top and teaches his children at the bottom.
He is loyal to the emperor and conscientious and has no plans for others. For example, Cheng Riching once confessed to Jia Lan that he was willing to follow Jia Zheng because he liked his character.
"This is what I want to say!" Cheng Riching said: "That day, Dong Weng received the order and was ready to leave the city from the west gate and walk to a place not far from Baiyun Temple. However, he saw Mr. Fang coming out with the Nan Province Zhen.
The carriage was stopped by invitations of greetings and letters of recommendation."
"Zhen family?" Jia Lan frowned, wondering why he was involved with the Zhen family again?
The Zhen family and the Jia family are old relatives. The two families have had family friends for many years. It is said that the relationship can be traced back to the ancestors of the two princes in the first generation. They also send each other gifts and greet each other during holidays.
Unlike the Jia family and other nobles who entered the capital, the Zhen family has been staying in Nan Province since the founding of the world by Emperor Gao. The family has also produced several famous officials. The current head of the family, Zhen Yingjia, serves as the president of Jinling Tiren Academy.
Even though he is just a president, Jinling Tirenyuan can be said to be the most noble official position in Southern Province. The Zhen family has a unique position in the hearts of the current Xiao royal family. It is said to be the first family in Southern Province.
Not an exaggeration.
All this stems from the old lady of the Zhen family. This reclusive woman has another identity that is well known to the world. She is the current wet nurse of the Supreme Emperor and the Holy Lady.
In addition to Mrs. Feng Sheng, the Zhen family has another unknown relationship, so it has been favored over the years.
Seeing Jia Lan's puzzled expression, Cheng Rixing said: "The letter to the Zhen family said that our ancestor Jingzhai had an old relationship with the Zhen family. At the age of 40, he had lost interest in the imperial examination. He originally wanted to find a job with the Zhen family, but President Zhen just remembered that
Dong Weng once wrote that he trusted him to look for some talents, so he recommended Jingzhai over."
"I see, my grandfather's move was unintentional." Jia Lan nodded. He was the one who started this matter. He felt that there were not enough talents in the family. Apart from the noble concubines in the palace, only Jia Lan was left in the Rongguo Mansion.
Since he was a figure in politics, he suggested that his grandfather recruit a few talents to serve as staff to make up for the shortcomings of the talents first. In addition, if he really met any talents, he could also recommend them as officials to help the family, instead of relying solely on the Wang family all day long.
.
Jia Zheng didn't look very interested at the time, but he actually listened.
Cheng Rixing smiled and said, "Isn't that right? Seeing that it was President Zhen's recommendation, Dong Weng kept him by his side as a clerk. Thanks to his carefulness, he discovered Shan and Bu's plot. Later, Mr. Fang also did the same with the Qingzhang matter.
There are many strategies, so Dong Weng attaches more importance to them."
"One person is short-term, and two people are long-term. Although Mr. Fang is talented, he can only do his job if everyone is of one mind and heart." Jia Lan gave a shallow compliment. The most rare thing about Cheng Riching is that he is not greedy for merit and does not know how to do it.
Jealousy of the virtuous.
After a pause, Jia Lan turned to chat with him about his family affairs: "It was cold last year. Is Mrs. Xian's condition still getting worse? How is our little brother Chao doing?"
As soon as he talked about his family, Cheng Rixing's face suddenly brightened: "Thanks to you, my wife's health is much better than usual, and my kid is also doing very well now. He is almost a big fat man!"
The relationship between Cheng Riching and Jia Lan actually originated from the former's initiative, and the reason was Jia Lan's medical skills that even the imperial doctors praised.
Although many outsiders didn't know about it, Cheng Riching, who was a guest of Jia Zheng, had heard about Jia Lan's medical skills to some extent. Later, he finally made up his mind to stop Jia Lan in the middle of the mansion for the sake of his wife.
Cheng Riching and his wife were married and had one son. They had been loving each other for many years.
But Mrs. Cheng had stomach problems since she was a child. Later, she took some strong medicines in order to give birth to a child, which caused the root cause of the disease and could not be cured for a long time. It was also to aggravate his wife's illness that Cheng Riching made up his mind to give up the scientific examination and concentrate on running an antique shop. He never thought about learning.
Despite a rather bumpy journey, he had a smooth business journey. Not only did he earn a fortune, but he also got to know people from the Jia family, and later became Jia Zheng's husband-in-law.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But his wife’s illness has always worried him. He has visited famous doctors over the years, but the condition still recurs. At the worst point, he suddenly suffers from colic and bursts of pain.
I couldn't help but almost rolled over on the bed.
Jia Lan was invited to the mansion by Cheng Riching, but Jing Yuanlang looked at the thick medical records with a blank expression, asked his wife a few more questions, then took out the acupuncture box he carried with him and used a three-edged needle to inject
His wife's Shuangchize point released some black blood, and she was immediately startled.
"Yi Zong Jin Jian" says, 'Chize is the main puncture point for various lung diseases, such as colic, intestinal syndrome, throat-locking wind, unresolved typhoid and fever, and also acupuncture for acute and chronic wind in children.' Chize point is the combined point of this meridian, and it can be treated together.
Take it orally. This point can harmonize the stomach, regulate the intestines and stop diarrhea. If the disease is acute and the patient suffers from abdominal pain and vomiting and diarrhea, blood can be bled to purge it, just like opening a floodgate to purge water. This method can treat acute abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea."
With one sentence, Cheng Rixing gradually calmed down.
After that, Jia Lan used moxibustion and continued to apply acupuncture. Cheng Riching found that the pain on his wife's face gradually lightened and her frown gradually relaxed.
…
After treating Cheng Riching's wife here, Jia Lan said again: "I see that my brother's eyebrows also seem to be a little sick, why don't we just take a look at them too?"
Cheng Rixing was stunned, and the couple looked at each other. The long-extinguished fire of hope burned in Cheng Rixing's heart again.
…
After listening to Cheng Riching's words, Jia Lan couldn't help but curl his lips, nodded and said: "That's good. Madam's pathogenesis is indeed hidden deep, and even the tongue symptoms cannot reflect the true condition. But as long as we find out the cause and then prescribe the right medicine,
He's probably fine." Probably every doctor feels the same way when he hears that a patient has recovered. He feels a sense of gain.
That's not all that satisfied Jialan.
Making friends with Cheng Rixing not only gave Jia Lan more ways to do business, but also gave him an additional window to understand Jia Zheng. Unconsciously, from Wang Xifeng to Jia Zheng, from Shenjing to Beizhuang, his management has gradually improved over the years.
achieved results.
After figuring out the origin of Fang Dongsheng, Jia Lan basically put down his worries, and was even happy that Jia Zheng got rid of Bu Guxiu, Shan Pinren and Hu Silai.
His steps became brisk unconsciously.
"Brother Lan." A clear and exquisite voice suddenly emerged.
Jia Lan stopped and took a look. He had a waist, slender shoulders, and an oval face. Who else could he be if he wasn't a mandarin duck?
"Hey, sister Yuanyang, why are you here? Don't you have to serve the ancestors?"
Yuanyang bowed to Jia Lan Yingying and responded with a smile: "The old lady still has amber, jade and glass with her. It won't be a problem if I leave for a while, but Brother Lang, you have to hurry up and don't starve the old lady."
"
"Sister Yuanyang, we'll see you soon." After Jia Lan finished speaking, her eyes suddenly fell on Yuanyang's slender jade shoulders.
Yuanyang was startled immediately, her pretty face was slightly blushing, as if she had never thought that Jia Lan would be like this.
Before she could react, she saw Jia Lan taking off the blue winter cloak on one side and draping it on Yuanyang's body.
"It's cold, sister, you better be careful and don't catch a cold!"
The girls in this red building don't seem to be in good health, and they get sick all the time. I should pay attention to it, and imitate the time-traveling seniors to do radio gymnastics.
As I walked, I thought about it.
Looking at Jia Lan's back, Yuanyang's beautiful eyes couldn't help but be a little dreamy, and they didn't move for a long time.
The Rongqing Hall was bustling with activity. As soon as Jia Lan walked into the room, she was spotted by the sharp-eyed Sister Feng: "Hey, Huiyuan Lang is finally here!"
The signature infectious laughter rang out. Sister Feng’s laughter had a magical appeal, making people unconsciously immersed in a happy atmosphere.
"My grandson is late!" Jia Lan smiled and greeted his mother Jia.
"Lan'er, come on!" Mother Jia hurriedly asked someone to help her up, pulled her to her side, touched her grandson's hand and asked, "You have been busy for a long time, are you hungry? Come on, let's get some food." After saying that, she took Jia Lan's hand.
Take your seat with your hands.
Jia Baoyu, who was sitting aside, stared with his lips pursed, but the Jia family had strict dining rules, and although there were many maids and daughters-in-law waiting outside, they could not even hear a cough, and it was not easy for him to have an attack.
After three cups of tea after dinner, Jia Mu waved her hand and invited everyone to go to the front to watch the show. Jia Baoyu became happy again. But when everyone took their seats in front of the stage, they saw Qingwen who was waiting behind Jia Lan.
The corners of Jia Baoyu's mouth became depressed again, with a look of grievance on his face.
【Such a person was originally mine...】
Jia Lan stared at the stage intently, and suddenly a candied fruit was handed to his mouth. After a slight start, he ate it with a smile and waved his hand back slightly.
When someone on the side saw this, he seemed to have been hit even harder, and his body was shaking a little.
"Stop being naughty."
Jia Lan whispered to someone behind him.
What responded to him was an equally soft, quirky and charming laugh.
