The Founding of the Red Chamber

Lin Jing said "Governor Zhang is here", from the cabinet to Chen Qibao, the feeling at that time was exactly the same: as if being slapped on the face by someone!

That kind of embarrassment is enough for them to remember for a while.coward

However, for politicians, even an embarrassing slap is nothing.What the imperial court is anxious about is, what does the Beijing Army mean by this!Chen Qibao said even more, "Is the Beijing Army rebelling?"

Regardless of whether the Beijing Army rebelled or not, but the Beijing Army dared to answer these five words about the imperial court's intention to send troops, and it must have the intention of taking over.The court finally realized that the Jiangnan Army, a ferocious beast refined in the flames of war, finally bared its sharp white teeth to the court when the court was in crisis.

The judgment of the imperial court was very accurate. They believed that the Beijing Army was threatening the imperial court with their own strength.Not to mention that the case of Governor Zhang is a muddled account. If you want to calculate it, everyone from His Majesty the Emperor to the cabinet to the two former governors, Meng and Liu, are all responsible.How should this responsibility be calculated? Moreover, even if there is a responsibility, the Beijing Army cannot force the court to calculate it.If it weren't for the continuous fighting in the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial court would probably send troops directly to Beijing Pass.

Chen Qibao immediately dispatched General Guan Tingyu to lead the Bianzhou Army to suppress the Jiangnan rebellion, and at the same time issued a sternly worded edict to Beijingguan.

Seeing that Guan Tingyu was going to Jiangnan to suppress the rebellion, Lin Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and Tu Xiaosan said, "Fortunately, General Guan is not coming towards us."

Lin Jing said, "Now I hope those rebels in the south of the Yangtze River can hold Guan Tingyu back."

For the Guanwai army, the more intense the Jiangnan war, the better.As for the imperial court's harshly worded imperial edict, neither Tu Xiaosan nor Lin Jing paid much attention to it.Tu Xiaosan put all his energy into training soldiers, including brainwashing the Jiangnan Army, and talked over and over again about how Governor Zhang had done so well and how he was wronged and died.As for Lin Jing, Lin Jing devoted all his energy to Mrs. Zhang, the leader of the overseas Japanese bandits. Through Shuili, he treated Mrs. Zhang very favorably in many trades.

So much so that Shui Li thought that Lin Jing was interested in Mrs. Zhang or something.

Mrs. Zhang also knows etiquette quite well, since she cooperated happily with the Guan foreign army, Mrs. Zhang even gave Lin Jing a great gift.In the evening, Lin Jing was playing with a few round beads, and suddenly said with emotion, "I don't know who is suitable for such a strange woman?"

Tu Xiaosan had just finished taking a bath and was tying the belt of his cotton robe. Hearing Lin Jing's words, he couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking about?"

"Come here and think about it with me. Do you think any of our old bachelors here is worthy of Mrs. Zhang?" Lin Jing pulled Tu Xiaosan to think about it together.

Tu Xiaosan asked, "Isn't Mrs. Zhang a widow?"

"What's your name?" Lin Jing didn't like to hear this. "There are many men in the world, and their daughters-in-law immediately remarried after death. Mrs. Zhang's husband passed away, so she can marry another. What's wrong with the widow? Mrs. Zhang has such a family business , if many men can marry her, not to mention this life, even children and grandchildren don't have to worry about it."

Tu Xiaosan knew that Lin Jing was looking for someone to marry Mrs. Zhang, and the benefits of marrying Mrs. Zhang, Tu Xiaosan thought about it for a while, and couldn't help being moved.Tu Xiaosan said, "What do you think of Shui Li? He has the most dealings with Mrs. Zhang."

"I'm thinking the same way. If he can get married with Mrs. Zhang, it will be a blessing for three lifetimes." Lin Jing discussed with Tu Xiaosan, "The rebels in the south of the Yangtze River saw the vigor and vigor, but after thinking about it, they may not be the opponent of General Guan. .They are all wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, and they don’t know how much wealth they have in their hands. Here, we don’t lack anything but money.”

"You mean, you can't help but fight the rebels from the sea?" Tu Xiaosan somewhat understood Lin Jing's thoughts.

"If they are stunned, how can they hand over the money to us?" Lin Jing smiled, "We have to be their way of retreat. This man is only willing to put his wealth and life on the way of retreat. "

Tu Xiaosan said, "Let Mrs. Zhang come forward?"

"Yes. It's just that there is a premise. The relationship between us and Mrs. Zhang is just an ordinary business relationship and a relationship of interest. If we want to go further, in a short time, only marriage is feasible." Lin Jing explained his plan Inform Apprentice Xiaosan.

Tu Xiaosan said, "OK, then I'll ask Shui Li tomorrow."

Tu Xiaosan wanted to be a matchmaker for Shui Li, and when Shui Li heard that Tu Xiaosan wanted him to marry Mrs. Zhang, even though Shui Li came from a scholar background, after all, his family used to work as a Cao Gang. Those stinky and fastidious scholars are gone.Shui Li listened to Xiaosan mentioning this, and said, "I don't mind, I just don't know if Mrs. Zhang is willing or not?" Don't think that men only value sex, men value wealth and strength more than beauty.Like Mrs. Zhang, she said she was a widow, but as long as she thought about Mrs. Zhang's overseas influence, Shui Li didn't say "no", and she was worried that she would not want to.

Tu Xiaosan said, "You have also won Juren in the past, and you are such a good-looking talent, how can she refuse?"

Shui Li said, "That's third brother. You don't know how powerful Madam Zhang is overseas. As long as she wants to marry, the king of the Wa Kingdom can marry her."

"What do those Japanese people know? They are not as knowledgeable as you, and they are not as good-looking as you. You should work hard." Tu Xiaosan encouraged Shui Li.In the past, Shui Li never thought about living with Mrs. Zhang, but after Tu Xiaosan mentioned it, Shui Li also felt that Mrs. Zhang was a good candidate.Seeing that Tu Xiaosan was still encouraging him, Shui Li went to work hard.As a result, within half a month, Shui Li said to Tu Xiaosan, "Mrs. Zhang said she didn't mean anything to me. Instead, she wanted to have a baby because there was no suitable candidate. She asked me if we have any outstanding boys here. If so, If it's suitable, you can go over and show her."

It was the first time in Tu Xiaosan's life that he heard such words, he was dumbfounded, and said for a while, "A true god."

"I said the same thing." Shui Li felt a little embarrassed because of being rejected by Mrs. Zhang, and said to Tu Xiaosan, "I'm not boasting. Outside our customs, there are people who are more talented than me. They are not as good as me. They are better than me." Yes, I don't have the fame of raising people. She can't even match me, who else can she match? Unless you try it yourself, third brother."

"Go, go, go!" Tu Xiaosan thought, how could he let a woman pick and choose him like this.

However, Shuili's progress was not going well, so Tu Xiaosan still talked to Lin Jing, and Lin Jing pondered, "This is a strange person, call Shuili over, and ask, what kind of lady Zhang does she want? For Zhang Luo."

Tu Xiaosan said, "How can a man with a little dignity be underestimated?"

"Okay, what does our serious matter have to do with dignity? If the child can have a mother as capable as Mrs. Zhang, I don't know how to be outstanding." Lin Jing called Shui Li to ask. Refusing, I felt very humiliated, and didn't ask Mrs. Zhang's conditions clearly. Lin Jing simply said, "Next time I go to sea, I will go with you and meet this Mrs. Zhang."

Tu Xiaosan suddenly became very nervous, and when the water receded, Fang and Lin Jing said, "This is impossible. What if you are detained by that female sea bandit?" I was worried that Lin Jing would be looked down upon by others and would not return. What to do?

Lin Jing said to Tu Xiaosan, "Business is not righteous. I just went to see Mrs. Zhang in person. If we want to do something about Jiangnan, we can't get there by land. We must go by sea. But this sea route, we The soldiers are not good at water warfare, not to mention, many things cannot be hidden from Mrs. Zhang. I just went to see her and establish a good relationship with her, not to have a baby with her."

Tu Xiaosan said, "I'll go with you."

"As soon as you leave, who will take care of this mess at home?" Lin Jing said, "We have been in Jiangnan for the past few years. If you are not outside the customs, it is difficult to guarantee that people will change their minds. It is because of your return that you should walk more in the army. I am only three years old. You can come back in five days, and there is no danger."

Tu Xiaosan was worried, he repeatedly told Lin Jing, and personally prepared things for Lin Jing, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep at night, and then he took the opportunity to share a room with Lin Jing, and Xu Xu went to the same room with Lin Jing. Jing nagged for half the night and made Lin Jing so noisy that he didn't sleep much all night. On the second day, he got on the boat with two big dark circles under his eyes and water.

To say that the fate of people is so strange.

Lin Jing's clothes were actually not too outstanding.He was just dressed in a jade green brocade robe with a black fox fur over it.Except for a piece of mutton jade around the waist, there is only a golden crown on the head, and the rest, there is no other adornment, but just like this, it directly makes Madam Zhang's eyes shine, Madam Zhang smiled, "Listen, A Li Speaking of Mr. Lin, I always thought that the wise man mentioned by Ah Li must be at least an old gentleman, and I don’t want you to be so handsome and outstanding, it really opened my eyes.” Later, it was directly changed to “Young Master” to match Yes, Shui Li's heart trembled when he heard it, thinking that Mrs. Zhang might be Lin Jing in love, right?

Lin Jing said with a smile, "I've heard about Madam's name for a long time, and when I saw her today, I know that there is nothing worthy of her reputation." Although Madam Zhang's words and deeds are bolder than ordinary women, she is tall and tall. Long eyebrows and beautiful eyes, an extremely handsome face.Moreover, this Mrs. Zhang has steady and clear eyes, and she knows that despite her big words and deeds, she is not a casual woman.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Mrs. Zhang asked Lin Jing to talk in the room.

Although Mrs. Zhang lives overseas, her living expenses are not inferior to those of the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, and even many places pay more attention to it.The maid brought the tea, Lin Jing watched the maid's behavior, when she came in like this, there was no mess or noise in the waistband, it could be seen that she had been specially trained.

Lin Jing's heart moved, thinking that Mrs. Zhang must have some background.Because, such purges are rare in the Governor's Mansion.

Lin Jing picked up the tea and took a sip. Seeing that it was the top quality Longjing tea, he said, "This kind of good tea is rare."

Mrs. Zhang smiled, "This tea recipe matches Mr. Lin's personality."

Lin Jing smiled slightly, "When I was in the south of the Yangtze River, I thought Miss Mu was already a rare hero among women, but now that I see my wife, I am not inferior to Miss Mu."

Mrs. Zhang's smile gradually faded, and she sighed, "If it wasn't for my husband's carelessness, I wouldn't have died in Jiangnan. Even though I am in charge now, you don't need to mention these Jiangnan affairs."

Although Mrs. Zhang's complexion turned pale, just looking at her words and deeds, one can tell that this lady has completely controlled the forces under her hand.Lin Jing bowed slightly to apologize.Mrs. Zhang said, "In the past, Mr. Shui came here, but now Mr. Lin is here in person. I think there is something important?"

Lin Jing said, "I have a big deal, and I want to discuss it with my wife."

Mrs. Zhang said, "Sir, please tell me."

"Madam, do you know how the current situation in Jiangnan is?"

"I haven't been to Jiangnan for a long time, but I heard that there is a war there."

"Yeah, there are constant wars in the south of the Yangtze River. In the past, some of you did business in the south of the Yangtze River. After all, although the south of the Yangtze River is farther away, the price of tea, silk, porcelain, and everything else is lower than outside the customs. For you It's more cost-effective." Lin Jing said, "Now there is another overseas friend named Jiang who has never cooperated with us before, but he found us. I knew that the war in the south of the Yangtze River may not be light."

Mrs. Zhang had no expression on her face, she said, "Boss Jiang is also a well-known figure in our seas. Although there are constant wars in the south of the Yangtze River, Mr. Yu is not a bad thing."

"It's not a bad thing for me, but what about Mrs. Yu?" Lin Jing asked back.

Mrs. Zhang continued, "In terms of business and business, what happens to me depends on your decision, my lord."

Lin Jing smiled, "If I had malicious intentions, I wouldn't come here in person. Regarding the matter of Chief Jiang, as Madam said, business belongs to business, but Madam's share of transactions with us will always occupy the first place."

Rao, Mrs. Zhang made such a promise without making any demands on Lin Jing. Although she knew that Lin Jing's conditions might come later, she said at this time, "Then I will thank you first."

"There is nothing to be thankful for. We also have good profits in the trade with Madam." Lin Jing waved his hand and said with a smile, "This is my first time overseas, and I have seen the scenery on the sea. Madam is where , is it an island?"

"Yes." Mrs. Zhang smiled, "If you are interested, my son, I will take you to see the scenery on the island."

"That would be great." Lin Jing said, "Basically, I have been to everything from the north to the south, and this is the first time I have been to Duhaihai."

So, after Lin Jing took a day's rest at Mrs. Zhang's place, the two went to see the scenery while talking and laughing the next day.Seeing the momentum of these two people, Shui Li's liver trembled, thinking of Tu Xiaosan's order before leaving, Shui Li felt that he would have to have Tu Xiaosan skinned alive when he went back!
