Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

The younger brother-in-law is not the younger brother of the wife, so what kind of identity is this, Wang Xiujin finds it very interesting, "Is the eldest princess's maid in the capital? Or here?"

"He is a married man, so he is here naturally." Li Sushan glanced at Wang Xiujin strangely, and Wang Xiujin touched his nose. He was not sure about the whereabouts of his servant after marriage, so he naturally asked, if in the autumn In the city, as the magistrate's wife, you watch other people's younger brothers show off?Wang Xiujin didn't believe it.

"I remember that the magistrate is a fourth-rank official, is he allowed to have a flat wife?" Wang Xiujin raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Sushan, who shook his head.Wang Xiujin narrowed his eyes, "A person who is not allowed to have an ordinary wife, but has a brother-in-law who is not his wife's natal family, is really courageous. If he is frightened, I wonder how the prefect will react?" Li Sushan's eyes were bright With a smile, he agrees with Wang Xiujin's idea.Wang Xiujin rubbed his chin, "I'm also a second-rank official. Tomorrow, I'll put on my official uniform. I'm going to visit the government office. I'll meet the magistrate's brother-in-law for a while."

"If you want to see him, just let him roll over, why bother to go by yourself." Li Sushan didn't quite agree with Wang Xiujin's going to the government office.

"Because it's a government office! The magistrate is not the only one who is an official. There are a lot of troubles in the yamen! No matter who the magistrate is, there must be someone thinking about his position. Some things just need to be revealed. Make a point, there will be a lot of people to help, just wait at home, and someone will deliver the desired result." Wang Xiujin sneered with the corners of his mouth curled up, and it is estimated that Qiucheng will be in chaos by then.

Li Sushan had to admit that what Wang Xiujin said was very reasonable. They came here to run a workshop, so naturally they can't take too much care of some things, but it has nothing to do with them if there is chaos in the government office. Besides, the vassal kings are now Cut it off, even though the eldest princess has the title of a princess, she doesn't have much ability, and the magistrate who climbed up with the help of a maid next to the eldest princess, I am afraid that many people have long disliked it.

Wang Xiujin, who was going to visit the government office in official uniform, failed to take action.

Guided by the locals, Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan went to the most famous restaurant in the city, and ordered a few signature dishes in the restaurant, except for the high-protein bugs, of course, he didn't want to lose his appetite.The two chatted while eating, and when they turned their heads, they saw a man with a very obvious label outside the restaurant, the prefect's brother-in-law, and the biggest word on his label was "hypocrisy". He held his chin and looked at the man who looked tall. A man with a nice face.

"What are you looking at?" Li Sushan looked out following Wang Xiujin's line of sight, but didn't see anything special.

"It's nothing, what do you think the prefect's brother-in-law will look like?" Wang Xiujin looked away, and he suddenly lost the idea of ​​going to the government office to demonstrate. As long as there is a wind, the officials and officials in the government office can do something. , Enough for the magistrate to be in a hurry.Wang Xiujin didn't think of borrowing his father's hand to clean up the magistrate's affairs. After all, the magistrate didn't have the word "greedy" on his head, but the magistrate's brother-in-law had a label on his head that embezzled court money. This magistrate is really interesting. He didn't get any money, but his brother-in-law made a lot of money, whether he was too smart or too stupid.

"The first impression is treacherous!" Li Sushan gave the answer after thinking about it very seriously.

Wang Xiujin sighed in his heart. Before he saw the person, he would also feel that the brother-in-law was not a kind person in terms of appearance, but after seeing the person, he was different from what he imagined. He had an honest and kind face. It can really make people lower their guards and increase their favorability.With such a face, it is really easy to deceive people. "I think it should be a very deceptive face."

Li Sushan thought about it and thought it was possible.The two changed the topic, but after a while, they heard the waiter's enthusiastic voice, "Mr. Yang is here, but is he still in the same position?" The two who were chatting followed the voice of the waiter for some reason In the past, they didn't understand what Xiao Er said, but they could hear the excessive enthusiasm in their voices.It seems that the person who came up, Wang Xiujin raised his eyebrows secretly. This Mr. Yang is not the magistrate's brother-in-law. Li Sushan glanced, narrowed his eyes, and then turned back to chat with Wang Xiujin again.

The waiter in the store arranged Mr. Yang, and Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan were also about to leave. They called the waiter to check out. The two of them spoke with foreign accents, not to mention Beijing flavor. Mr. Yang, who was sitting still, turned his eyes and looked at the two of them, guessing With two identities.Xiao Er immediately quoted the price, and before Wang Xiujin could take the money, Mr. Yang, who had already sat down before, floated over at some point and bowed to the two of them, "You two have come from a long way to sit in the autumn city and taste the delicious food of the autumn city. , it should be hosted by local people, I don’t know if my younger brother has this honor.”

Mr. Yang felt that these two people were very likely to be distinguished guests from the capital, so they were not the Imperial Merchant, but also part of the Imperial Merchant's group.Mr. Yang had already heard what his brother-in-law said when he met the distinguished guests, so he wanted to find an opportunity to meet the emperor. He knew that it was impossible to meet people in his capacity, but he never expected that he would come out to have a meal. After dinner, he really met a distinguished guest from the capital. If he had a good relationship with the two people in front of him, he might be able to meet the emperor.

When Young Master Yang stepped forward, Li Sushan protected Wang Xiujin behind him. This man has a pure and kind face, but his eyes can't deceive anyone. This man is not as pure and kind as people think.

Wang Xiujin felt that Mr. Yang was acting too aggressively. Who would ask others to treat him to dinner for no reason? Everyone likes to take advantage of it? "Thank you in advance, but I am not short of money, and I don't like to take advantage of others, so I won't bother this young master." After speaking, Wang Xiujin took out the money and put it on the table, "The rest will be considered rewards."

The shop waiter didn't accept the money happily, but looked at Mr. Yang in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.Wang Xiujin looked at the waiter's expression, "Why, do you have to ask someone to tell you if you can eat in Qiucheng?"

"I'm being rude, you two don't think too much." Mr. Yang cupped his hands again, then looked at the waiter with an apologetic face, and said that he caused trouble to him, but the waiter felt sorry for it, and almost didn't have red eye circles, but he was still in his heart. It's true to think about the two dinner guests. Mr. Yang wanted to invite them to dinner, but they refused. I really don't know good people.

Seeing the waiter's appearance, Wang Xiujin couldn't help sighing in his heart, fearing that they might have become villains unknowingly, this feeling is really not very good.

When going downstairs, Wang Xiujin casually asked, who is that Mr. Yang, and the waiter in the shop kept talking about Mr. Yang's identity. The first thing he said was that he was a good man, and the reason was that he often sent things to people who couldn't eat enough. , to give money to Shantang, porridge and so on on the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, and then Mr. Yang is the magistrate's brother-in-law, but he never uses his status to overwhelm others, and he will not look down on these workers. Being bullied by a guest, Young Master Yang helped him.

When he heard that Mr. Yang was the magistrate's brother-in-law, Li Sushan raised his brows, his face became more and more frightening, but the expressionless face all the time, no matter how frightening it was, it only changed in momentum.When the two left the restaurant, the first thing they said was, "You really know how to sell people's hearts." After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and left.The next day, the two left Qiucheng with a few people, without any specific goal, they just wanted to wander around.

When Wang Xiujin left, the magistrate really didn't think there was anything wrong with him, what could be wrong with him, but in the afternoon, he got a bad wind from somewhere, and it was rumored that the imperial merchant might have returned to Beijing. As for the reason for leaving, it was probably because of the prefect of Qiucheng. .The magistrate heard the rumors and felt that he was not well. He didn't do anything, so why did he return to Beijing because of him?Could it be that the imperial merchant knew about his desire to share a share of the money?Thinking about it this way, the magistrate broke out in cold sweat. He didn't dare to offend the imperial merchant, not because of the size of the imperial merchant's officials, but because of the imperial merchant's father, Mr. Wang, how many officials folded in when the accounts were settled.

The magistrate hurriedly called his brother-in-law to discuss what to do with him. He has been an official for many years, but he has climbed to the position of magistrate, and he doesn't want to lose his position!

The group of Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan who left Qiucheng were in a very beautiful mood. They stopped and stopped along the way, very happy. If there is any beautiful scenery, it is really nothing. It is just that the mood is different, and it is not rushing on the road, just relaxing , I feel that everything is pleasing to the eye, Wang Xiujin looks at the high mountains in the distance, and misses the cameras of later generations in his heart.

In the Yamen of Qiucheng Mansion, except for the uneasy magistrate, many people started to toss secretly, delivering letters and handouts to the capital.The big maid who has been with the eldest princess for many years is not an ordinary person, but since she got married, her heart has died a little bit.It can be said that the husband and son-in-law were selected out of thousands of picks, what a scene they were when they entered the door, and how regretful they would be when they knew the truth.

Such a person, in order to be able to marry the most capable servant girl beside the eldest princess, did not hesitate to turn his original wife into a concubine, and all this was just to climb up the ladder.And all of this was only known after she gave birth to her son, and the one who made the plan was Yang Shanren, who was praised by the outside world. Back then, Yang Shanren was so talented that he had such scheming. She only felt disgusted when he said good people.It's not that the servant girl never thought about reconciling, it's just that she couldn't bear the child.

"Quickly, help brother-in-law think about how to invite the nobleman back." After seeing his brother-in-law, the magistrate grabbed his brother-in-law's hand, without explaining the cause and effect, and directly asked for advice.The magistrate felt that his brother-in-law was very reliable. If he hadn't had a brother-in-law these years, he wouldn't be able to climb to his current position. Right now, he still has to rely on his brother-in-law to come up with a good solution.
