MTL - Number of People-Chapter 10 A character scroll Qi Lu Qing Weilai first chance meeting
Chapter 10 A-character scroll Qi Lu Qingwei meets by chance for the first time
Jia Yucun knew the opportunity had come when he saw the two people rushing out from the opposite alley to plead.
This kind of big family will not let outsiders in. Even if they knock on the door, they may not be able to get asylum. I never thought that there would be two people leading the battle first, and they would be allowed to enter.
While regretting a little, Jia Yucun didn't hesitate at all. He walked up the steps briskly, and motioned for the mother-in-law to follow with the little girl.
Feng Ziying didn't expect to make such an opening, but two groups of people came. How dare she treat her house as a shelter?
Feng You and Uncle Fu didn't look good, but this was not the time for hesitation. Feng Ziying didn't bother to say much, and didn't even wait for the latecomers to speak, so she waved: "Let them all come in, and close the door quickly!"
Forgive that the three of them couldn't do much after that. A young man brought two women and children, one old and one young. If the gangster really had such a thorough preparation to come undercover, he would admit it.
As the door closed with a creak, the entire group breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng You sheathed his waist knife, and stared fiercely at the outsiders.
The person who begged before clasped his fists and bowed again at this time, and then said sincerely: "Thank you for your rescue, Xue Jun has nothing to repay, if..."
Jia Yucun didn't say much, he just stepped forward and bowed slightly, bowing his hands in a salute.
Feng You glanced at Brother Keng who was frowning and did not speak for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "Who are you and why are you here?"
"I am Xue Jun from Jinling. He has been in business for generations. He has heard of Linqing's reputation for a long time. He wanted to come to Qing to find out if there is a suitable business. He never thought that he would encounter such a thing..."
Feng Ziying stood in the veranda and observed this middle-aged man, dressed in a gray silk robe, and although his speech was not eloquent, it was considered gentle and polite, and it could be seen that he was not an ordinary businessman.
The Taizu of this dynasty was born as a merchant, and his discriminatory attitude towards merchants is much better than that of the previous Ming Dynasty. However, after all, the concept that merchants are not allowed to go to the lobby is deeply rooted, so the gentry class still has innate contempt for merchants.
Jiangnan is a place where merchants gather. Merchants from Huizhou, Suzhou, Longyou and other places are quite powerful. Huizhou merchants and Shanxi merchants are also the two most powerful merchant groups in Dazhou.
"Where is your honor?" Feng You's eyes fell on the young man in his thirties.
He is also a person who has seen the world for a long time. He has been in the capital for a few years, and he has seen some big scenes. Seeing this person with sword eyebrows and star eyes, straight nose and square cheeks, and a refined bearing, Feng You's impression is a little better. .
"I was in Jiahua, Huzhou. This trip was to send Dongweng's daughter to Beijing. I have heard for a long time that there are Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south, and Linzhang in the north. I wanted to go ashore to have a look and buy some things. I didn't expect it to be in broad daylight..." Jia Yucun said. Miss Lin's identity was not revealed, only about herself.
Dongweng Linhai is Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor. His official status is prominent and he holds the great power of salt import. Ship the salt to Linqing Prefecture.
Although this family is not like merchants, it can be said that relatives, friends and old relatives are not allowed to make a living as merchants. If they know about the relationship between the Lin family, it will inevitably cause some troubles for the Lin family for no reason.
I went to Beijing this time to make use of the relationship between Lin and Jia to seek recovery, so naturally I couldn't add any more trouble.
Feng Ziying was still observing the man surnamed Jia, but she didn't realize it for a while, thinking that this man might be from a scholar's background, and he had a bit of an official air.
But I heard him say that he sent Dongweng's daughter to the capital. This kind of person actually has Dongweng. Could it be a friend of an official?
The Great Zhou Dynasty followed the Ming system, especially the Zhou Taizu family was born as a merchant, so he valued scholars more, and started a new imperial examination since the establishment of the dynasty.
The County Examination, the Government Examination, the Township Examination, the Palace Examination, are basically in line with the pre-Ming Dynasty. The County Examination and the Government Examination are qualification examinations. After passing the government examination, you are basically a scholar.
The rural examination is the most intense. After passing the provincial examination, you can recruit people and establish your qualifications to be an official.
Once you have passed the test, it will be completely different from Yuyuelongmen. Even the most down-and-out person can become a seventh-rank magistrate. It depends on the opportunity and connections.
According to the practice of the Great Zhou Dynasty, non-Hanlin cannot join the cabinet, that is to say, those who have not been polished in the Imperial Academy are not eligible to enter the core cabinet of the Great Zhou Dynasty. cannot.
Feng Ziying, relying on the feeling left by her body in the Imperial College, realized that this Jia Yucun was probably not as simple as an ordinary child born scholar, at least he should have passed the provincial examination, which was revealed by the other party. It can be felt from the momentum, even in such a crisis situation, it is not easy to maintain a certain demeanor.
"It seems that Mr. Jia is still a scholar." Feng Ziying said in a neutral tone.
Jia Yucun was also taken aback. Although he knew that this young man should be the owner of the house, he was still a childish boy who was only eleven or twelve years old. It was this young man who answered first.
"I dare not, I have indeed studied for a few years, but half my life has been in exile, so I don't mind mentioning it." Jia Yucun didn't want to mention his past, but he was a little ashamed to mention it. Broke the record of the same year in the department.
"Then how can you prove that you are not a gangster party?" Feng Ziying did not let the other party go easily, at least she wanted to know the other party's bottom.
Jia Yucun also didn't expect the other party to be so aggressive at such a young age, he froze for a moment, and then slowly said: "The gangster brother in the city today should also know about it, if I was a gangster insider, how could I bring a Two women, one old and one young? And I’m afraid that the younger brother can also hear the accent. I think the bandits in the city today are all with a Lu accent. Let one old and one young act as internal support?"
In fact, Feng Ziying never thought that these three people were the insiders of the gangsters. He just subconsciously wanted to know more about each other.
It's just that this guy is also very eloquent, cleaning up his relationship, but making it difficult for him to ask about its origin.
"What about you two?" Feng Ziying turned to the other two.
"The two of us are from Jinling, and Linqing is the commercial port of Beidi. We wanted to investigate, but we encountered such things in the first few days after we came here. We temporarily live in Huifu Building in Bixiagong Hutong. Today we plan to I went to Guozi Lane and Mashi Street to find out about the market, but I didn't expect..."
The middle-aged man who claimed to be Xue Jun was also very graceful and calm, but he lacked some bookishness, which made Feng Ziying feel more like a character from the Jiuli shopping mall.
These two looked like a combination of master and servant. They claimed to be Jinling merchants, but Jinling merchants were not ranked among the Nanzhili merchants in Linqing. Huizhou merchants and Dongting merchants were the leaders.
Needless to say, Huizhou merchants are naturally from Huizhou Prefecture, and the Dongting merchant gang does not come from Dongting Lake in Huguang, but from Dongting Mountain in Taihu Lake. It has the reputation of "Drilling the Heavenly Dongting".
For a while, I was not sure whether what the other party said was true. Although I was basically sure whether the other party should have something to do with the bandits, but I didn't know the details of the other party, and it was still difficult to let go.
He always felt that the spirit of this merchant surnamed Xue was different from ordinary merchants. Although he might have nothing to do with the bandits, he should be a character with some background.
