Feudal scholar-bureaucrats reborn: marrying a husband and marrying a virtuous

Jianwen ten years, summer solstice.

If it were in previous years, Lin Fangqin would probably be running around with his husband at this time, busy making summer tea.

But this year it is not needed, he is introducing his own golden thread tea to Mr. Shang and others.

In the exhibition booth in the center of the exhibition, many people gathered around, headed by the crown prince and Shang Zhongyan, all the heads of the major families, as well as Zhejiang officials headed by Cai Buzheng.

Lin Fangqin was actually a little nervous, but most of the Lin family has a characteristic, that is, they will never back down when they have to be on top of you.

When introducing Jinsi tea, it was a well-thought-out rhetoric that was cultivated unintentionally. If someone insisted on asking the bottom line, the answer would be that the soil on the top of the mountain is special.

Shang Zhongyan, as Lin Fangxu's teacher, and the scale of the fair this time, also has the credit for his old man's lobbying everywhere, so he naturally doesn't want any twists and turns.

So he joked: "I also came here at the right time. Such a rare thing just happened to meet such a grand event. I don't know if the little friends of the Lin family are willing to ask the old man to taste it first?"

Lin Fangqin glanced at the crown prince, saw him nodding his head slightly, and said politely: "It is a great honor to be commented by the grand tutor."

After speaking, Lin Fangqin fetched the tea set and planned to brew it on the spot.

All the people present were human beings, and with just one look, everyone knew in their hearts that this rare treasure must have been taken into the pocket of his old Zhu family.

Shang Zhongyan didn't care who the Lin family sold the golden silk tea to, no matter who he sold it to, he couldn't afford a few taels anyway, but he still felt a little bit resentful.

He didn't believe the Lin family's rhetoric, that brat Lin Fangxu!

Kui still called himself a master, and shamelessly abducted his own grandson. There is such a good thing in the family, and he doesn't even reveal a word of it.

Lin Fangqin is not good at tea art, at least in the eyes of old tea lovers, his tea art skills are still rough and rough, so that when he opened the lid to get tea, Shang Zhongyan couldn't help but stepped forward to blast him away, and personally hands on.

Lin Fangqin was naturally very self-aware and stood aside.

Compared with Lin Fangqin, Lin Fangxu and his wife are more self-aware. The one who can accompany the crown prince is not a celebrity like Shang Zhongyan, but a member of the third rank in Zhejiang, or even the head of a wealthy family.

Naturally, Lin Fangxu and his wife did not move forward, and wandered around the exhibition happily.

There are actually seven booths in the royal booth, the one in the middle is the most luxurious, and now a group of bigwigs have gathered there to drink tea.

There are six more around, just to encircle the city, Lin Fangxu and Jiang Shiyun stopped at one of them at this time, watching the brocade like colorful clouds in front of them.

"This fabric is not bad, it's pretty!" Jiang Yun said with emotion.

"The colors are quite special, and the brocade weaving technique seems to be different." Lin Fangxu judged after careful observation.

"I don't know where this material came from. It doesn't look like Shu brocade or Yun brocade, and it doesn't have much similarity to Suzhou Song brocade. It's really rare!"

Lin Fangxu struggled for a while, and asked Jiang Shiyun: "Should I have seen Xiaoyun in the capital? Do you know where this material comes from?"

Lin Fangxu, an old man, knew of this brocade, which surprised Jiang Shiyun.

Regarding his question, Jiang Shiyun was embarrassed for a moment, touched his nose, and then said expressionlessly: "I know that horses that are nine feet tall, neck and body equal, and that stand tall like phoenixes are mostly from the Western Regions."

As for the cloth and so on, I will wear whatever my father prepares.

Lin Fangxu: "..."

Well, Lin Fangxu understood what he meant, his family Xiaoyun is a little brother who doesn't like red makeup, but likes to be armed.

The two reckoned that they would not be able to see the flowers again, and when they were about to leave, they saw the young master of the Luo family who was deviant, who abandoned literature and went into business, walking towards them.

When he was two steps away, he smiled and bowed his hands in salute: "Master Lin, Jiang Shaolang, are you two also interested in this Xiaguang brocade?"

Lin Fangxu was a little surprised when he heard his words, and said in disbelief: "This is Xia

Guangjin?Didn't it mean that the weaving technique of Xiaguang Brocade has long been lost? "

Luo Shu smiled reservedly, and said vaguely: "It's not considered lost, it's just that the descendants of Xia Guangjin had to hide from the world due to some troubles, and now His Highness is in charge to reorganize the Shibo Department, so he dares to take it out."

'Interesting..., there is a market meeting, and all the extinct things appear in the world one after another. It seems that Mr. Luo is also well prepared. '

After Lin Fangxu finished listening, he smiled clearly: "Young master is so clear, could it be that this Xiaguang brocade was presented by the Luo family?"

Luo Shu didn't intend to hide it, and said directly: "The last successor of Xia Guangjin is my mother."

As for the persecution of his mother's natal family by the Cai family and the Municipal Bureau, Luo Shu didn't intend to talk about it, and Lin Fangxu and the two of them naturally wouldn't get to the bottom of it.

Jiang Shiyun had never heard of Xiaguang Brocade, but seeing Lin Fangxu's reaction, he guessed that it should be quite famous, so he concealed it a little: "So that's the case, no wonder I haven't seen this kind of brocade in these years."

Lin Fangxu glanced at him with a half-smile, and after being stared hard at him, he answered, "Yes, Xiaguang Brocade should not have been published for many years."

"For 50 years, since the death of my great-grandfather, I have never weaved again." Luo Shu didn't pay attention to the eyebrow-eye lawsuit between the two. Silk tea has been disappearing for a long time, this is a tea plant from thousands of years ago!"

Lin Fangxu just said modestly: "It's just a coincidence that the soil is special."

Who doesn't have any secrets? !

Of course Luo Shu didn't care, smiled, and then seemed to think of something suddenly, a little mysteriously said: "Speaking of coincidences, the Kang family is really a coincidence, when is it bad, but the day before the city ship meeting, Nan's family got into trouble The Kang family wants Kang Ziyou to adopt the name of Nangong Mountain and inherit the incense."

"What's his surname? How could the Kang family agree?" Jiang Shiyun asked in surprise.

"It is said that Nan Gongshan made an agreement with Kang Song when he was still alive, and even wrote a deed." Luo Shu replied with a smile, and gave Lin Fangxu a deep look.

Because of the relationship between the grandfather and Taifu Shang, when the prince was in Hangzhou, the Luo family had vaguely guessed that in addition to reorganizing the city ship tax, His Royal Highness probably also wanted to intervene in maritime trade.

So before Luo Shu came to Ningbo, in addition to preparing Xiaguang Jin, he also recruited a small and large sea fleet, the purpose of which was of course to cooperate with the prince.

But at present, it seems that there are especially many competitors, not to mention the He family with Marquis Weiyuan as their backer.

Kang Ziyou seems to have this plan too, and in the words of his grandfather, he is a wolf cub who dares to gamble and fight, and the Luo family may not be able to compete.

Among the people of the same generation, there were only two people who were valued so highly by grandfather, except Kang Ziyou, and Lin Liushou in front of him.

In comparison, my grandfather's evaluation of Lin Liushou was much higher than that of Kang Ziyou. After all, in his old man's eyes, the imperial examination was the right way.

Speaking of which, Lin Fangxu and the Kang family were more or less dirty, Luo Shu thought, maybe it would be helpful to tell Lin Fangxu?Always try again.

When Lin Fangxu heard the news, he thought a lot for a while, and had a rough guess in his heart.

Thinking of that result, to be honest, Lin Fangxu was a little depressed, but he was the one who lived two lives, the biggest one!Lin Fangxu's face was flat, and he didn't comment on whether Kang Ziyou's surname was Kang or Nan, and he happily continued to watch Qiqi with Jiang Shiyun, who didn't understand much.

The fair lasted for five days. During the five days, Lin Fangxu not only watched the exhibition, but also inquired about some news about the Kang family.

On the first day, the Nan family made a lot of noise at the door of Kang's house, and it eventually progressed to beating and smashing.

The next day, more people came from Nan's house, still smashing and making noise, and even rushed into the Kang mansion.

On the third day, Kang's family was brought to the government office for disturbing the neighbors, and the magistrate Kong intervened in person.

The Nan family took out the contract written by Kang Song himself, and asked the prefect of Kong to make the decision to adopt Nan Gongshan's only blood, grandson Kang Ziyou.

On the fourth day, after all kinds of wrangling,

Kang Ziyou changed his surname to Nan.

On the fifth day, Nan Ziyou took away his mother's dowry, a dozen sea boats, some farm shops, jewelry, etc. from the Kang family.

The sixth day, ..., well, that is today.In the magistrate's yamen, in the other courtyard where the prince stayed, when Lin Fangxu accompanied his elder brother to arrive, Nan Ziyou was standing next to the prince.

Also present at the same time were the six families including Kang Song, as well as new forces like the Luo family.

The prince called these people together, it was nothing more than a beating, probably everyone will run on the sea in the future, don't engage in unfair competition!

Of course, the Lin family didn't run on the sea, and his family didn't have a sea boat. The reason why they called the two brothers over was because of the golden silk tea.

The golden silk tea, which symbolizes the imperial power and the flourishing age of Han Wu, has reappeared after being extinct for a thousand years, causing a greater sensation than the people in Ningbo Mansion imagined.

The prince even ordered someone to reappear the golden silk tea as a symbol of God's blessing to Wei.

Naturally, such precious and rare tea became tribute tea, and [-]% of the annual output needed to be sent to the emperor.

Of course, it is not a free gift. Every year, [-]% of the tea is given to Lin Fangqin for a Hongnong Yuanwailang, who is a sixth-rank idler. It sounds higher than the rank of the county magistrate of Wuyi County. In fact, the job he is responsible for is to grow his old man well. tribute tea.

It is far less powerful than the county magistrate, but it is also a real benefit to the Lin family. The Lin Fangqin brothers naturally accepted the order respectfully and thanked him.

"If there is any surplus of Lin Yuan's family's golden thread tea in the future, do you plan to sell it?" Wang Xiaowen asked curiously after Lin Fangqin thanked him.

Lin Fangxu glanced at him expressionlessly, thinking, 'Haven't you already made arrangements, what are you pretending? ! '

"Naturally, they intend to make a move. The Lin family dare not monopolize such a precious thing, and they must let the world appreciate it." Lin Fangqin replied.

Wang Xiaowen was a little embarrassed by Lin Fangxu's stare, and smiled awkwardly, but he still bit the bullet and said: "Speaking of which, Mr. Nan's fleet has traveled all over the world and has seen a lot. Lin Yuanwai might as well cooperate with him."

As a good younger brother, Lin Fangxu naturally told his eldest brother that he and Kang Ziyou, oh..., no!Nan Ziyou's hatred.

Glancing at his younger brother with a calm face, he must have been scolding his mother in his heart, Lin Fangqin sighed in his heart, and could only reply helplessly: "As long as Mr. Nan's price is reasonable, naturally he will first consider cooperating with Mr. Nan."

Nan Ziyou got the bargain, and promised with a smile, "Member Lin, don't worry, someone from Nan can guarantee that no one will offer a more affordable price than me."

From the beginning to the end, the family members who didn't have time to say anything just watched the matter settle down. Not only the name of Jinsi Tea fell into Nan Ziyou's hands, but also the opportunity to cooperate with the royal family fell into Nan Ziyou's hands. inside.

If anyone is said to be the most aggrieved, besides Luo Shu, it is He Jingming, the head of the He family in Quanzhou. Kang Song's mood is probably beyond description, so let him alone.

He Jingming is the natal brother of Marquis Weiyuan's step-wife, and he also gave Marquis Weiyuan an idea about the imperial business, but now the plan has failed.

Nan Ziyou is completely on the line with the prince, and when he does two more beautiful errands, it is estimated that the title of the imperial merchant will be firmly established.

He Jingming was not angry in his heart, hated the prince for being unrighteous, and also devoted himself to Shibo, and the He family spent so much money, his brother-in-law is still at sea with his hands? !It didn't do any good in the end.

The unrighteous prince in his heart obviously didn't care about the grievances in his heart, and he was trying to persuade another person who was grievous at this time.

"Speaking of which, both Dongsheng and Ziyou are rare talents, and their mental skills are far superior to those of their peers. Fortunately, one has gone on a business path and the other has gone on an official career. Don't worry about both Shengyu and Shengliang."

The prince personally made peace, Lin Fangxu naturally didn't dare to lose face, but he didn't want to speak first.

Nan Ziyou was also very knowledgeable at this time, and hurriedly said modestly: "Ziyou, a mere merchant, can't compare to Mr. Lin who governs the world and serves the people."

Lin Fangxu smiled, and only said: "Mr. Nan is polite. Although a businessman is after profit, it is also

Earning every penny by yourself is better than those bandits who kill people and steal goods, so Mr. Nan doesn't have to belittle himself. "

Zhu Xianzong squinted his eyes, hey...forget it, the future will be long, let's not put these two enemies together in the future.
