Just by listening to the sound, one can tell that the person who comes is definitely not good.

Jiang Zhen raised his head, and saw a fat young man in his twenties walking towards him.

This young man's appearance is very pleasing, but now he looks disgusted and unhappy, so naturally he doesn't like him.

Jiang Zhen didn't know this person, and when he heard this person's words, he frowned immediately.

That fat white man was Feng Chenglin. He had paid people off and wanted to see Shen Anxin's good show, but he was ruined by Jiang Zhen. Naturally, he was very disgusted and angry with Jiang Zhen.

After both Jiang Zhen and Shen Anxin had left, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. In addition, he heard from shopkeeper Zhu that this Jiang Zhen was a small businessman from the south of the Yangtze River with no background, so he came to trouble Jiang Zhen.

Their Wanlong Commercial Company is really nothing in the capital, but it is not a problem to deal with a small businessman from other places.

Even if you can't really do anything to people, you can still scare them... These people from other places have always been easy to scare.

Feng Chenglin looked at Jiang Zhen's clothes, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "I don't know where the toad ran out from. It's fun to jump around, and I'm not afraid of being trampled to death."

Jiang Zhen cares about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, but he doesn’t care about clothing. In modern times, when he was still in the army, he wore clothes with his hair down every day. After he was discharged from the army, he bought several sets of the same clothes and trousers and changed them. Because of this, he was mistaken for not changing clothes all the time.

In this ancient time, he didn't care much about what to wear. In addition, he had been rich for less than a month, and he didn't even have time to buy a few better clothes.

What Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge were wearing at the moment were made of the fabric they got from the water bandits by the women they rescued from the water bandits.

This is already the best dress that Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jingge have ever worn. The material is not worse than what they wore when they got married. Imperfect clothing.

For Jiang Zhen, he also underestimated him a little bit.

Brother Zhao Jin was very happy to eat. When Feng Chenglin first came over, he didn't react, but now Feng Chenglin scolded Jiang Zhen...

Zhao Jinge looked at Feng Chenglin angrily, and after seeing the disdain in the other party's eyes, he was about to stand up and argue with him.

However, at this moment, Jiang Zhen held down one of his hands, then picked up a few ribs for him, and picked up some dried bamboo shoots for him.

Brother Zhao Jin was puzzled by Jiang Zhen's actions, but he didn't move.

"Master, it's time for us to go back." Shopkeeper Zhu rushed over out of breath at this moment, trying to dissuade Feng Chenglin.Although Jiang Zhen doesn't know people, they pay attention to being harmonious and making money in business, and there is no need to have grudges with others.

However, Feng Chenglin was unwilling to leave.

Although he didn't like Shen Anxin, Shen Anxin who rejected him several times smiled at Jiang Zhen, but it also made him angry.

"Then Shen Anxin is just like a man, and you can say what you want, but it's true, after all, he is rich, and if he leaks a little from his fingers, it will make a country bumpkin like you know better." Feng Chenglin said again.

"The young owner of Wanlong Commercial Bank?" Jiang Zhen glanced at the shopkeeper Zhu and guessed the identity of the person in front of him.At the same time, he also felt that the veins on Brother Zhao Jin's hand that was being pressed by him had already exploded.

Jiang Zhen sighed lightly.

At the beginning, when he didn't sell goods to Shopkeeper Zhu, after Shopkeeper Zhu became angry, he asked someone to inquire about Wanlong Trading Company - there are too many nobles in the capital, and he was also worried that he would accidentally offend some nobleman.

And according to the information he inquired, this Wanlong Trading Company is just a merchant with a good business, and there is no backstage. He doesn't have to be afraid at all, and they have no ability to do anything to him.

As a result... Just when he thought he would never have any contact with this Wanlong firm, the young owner of this Wanlong firm actually came to trouble him.

Jiang Zhen thought about it before and after, and he knew that Shen Anxin was pestered by others before, probably the man in front of him did it.

It's fine for this person to pester Shen Anxin, but now he's here to scold him...

"It's me," Feng Chenglin replied, "If you are sensible, please apologize to me, if not..."

Feng Chenglin looked at Jiang Zhen with a threatening expression. Several of the girls in the Feng family were married to officials, and his younger sister was even married to an official at the pier.

Feng Chenglin was a little complacent, but soon, both the threatening expression on his face and the complacency in his eyes disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Zhen stood up with a bowl of soup on the table, and then... unexpectedly poured the bowl of soup on his head!

This soup is winter melon, dried bamboo shoots and pork ribs soup. Jiang Zhen has already put the ribs and dried bamboo shoots in the bowl into Zhao Jinge's bowl. In the soup, there is only winter melon that almost every household in Hexi Village can grow, which is considered worthless by Zhao Jinge.

But now, the winter melon fell on Feng Chenglin's head, and the soup was poured all over Feng Chenglin's head and face.

A piece of wax gourd slid down Feng Chenglin's face from his hair and fell to the ground. Feng Chenglin finally came to his senses: "You bastard, how dare you do this to me!" He has never been insulted like this in his old age!

"What? Want to fight?" Jiang Zhen put the bowl heavily on the table and made a "bang".

Feng Chenglin's expression froze immediately. He just saw Jiang Zhen beat that "Second Zhang" to the point where he couldn't fight back. He knew that this person was not simple.

It's just, why doesn't this Jiang Zhen act according to common sense?This is the capital, businessmen from other places come here, which one is not sincere and fearful, how can anyone be as arrogant as this person in front of him?

"I don't know where the fat pig came from and kept barking, wasting a bowl of soup for me." Jiang Zhen looked at the soup bowl that was used to hold the winter melon soup with a face full of regret.

Originally, he didn't care about being said a few words.

But he didn't care, Brother Zhao Jin did. When Feng Chenglin scolded him, Brother Zhao Jin was so angry that he seemed about to go up and beat someone...

He couldn't let Brother Zhao Jin take action, so he acted first.

"The surname is Jiang, this place in the capital is not something you can do as you want, just wait for me!" Feng Chenglin was furious at Jiang Zhen's attitude, but in the end he could only endure it temporarily.

He didn't bring anyone with him this time, but Jiang Zhen is not only powerful himself, but also has someone beside him who doesn't look weak...

Fearing that he would be at a disadvantage, Feng Chenglin left without saying a word.

The people in this small restaurant are all looking at Jiang Zhen and Brother Zhao Jing right now, Jiang Zhen turned a blind eye to those gazes, he sat down again, and said to Brother Zhao Jing: "Eat quickly."

"Oh..." Brother Zhao Jin gnawed on a spare rib in his bowl, took two bites, and looked up at Jiang Zhen: "Jiang Zhen, you looked so good just now."

"That is." Jiang Zhen admitted without hesitation, and asked: "I look the best, don't I?"

Brother Zhao Jin paused, looked around subconsciously, and nodded after realizing that the people around him should not have heard what Jiang Zhen said.

He thought Jiang Zhen was the prettiest!

Jiang Zhen suddenly laughed.

Brother Zhao Jin started to gnaw on the ribs again, and after eating several pieces, he raised his head and asked suspiciously: "Jiang Zhen, why did he say that Shen Anxin looks like a man just now?"

After seeing Shen Anxin today, Brother Zhao Jin had a faint feeling that something was wrong, and what the man said just now made his feeling reach its peak.

"Because Shen Anxin is a twin." Jiang Zhen said.

"Shuang'er?" Brother Zhao Jin was taken aback.Shen Anxin came to Jiang Zhen to do business, but he was not with Jiang Zhen when his identity was revealed by shopkeeper Zhu, and no one mentioned it later, so that he didn't even know that Shen Anxin was actually Shuang'er.

"Yes, he is a Shuanger, I forgot to tell you before." Jiang Zhen said, he had always been unable to classify Shuanger and a woman together, and after Shen Anxin dug a pregnancy mole and wanted to be a man, he would not deliberately Tell people that he is actually a twin and not a man.

Jiang Zhen didn't take it seriously, but Zhao Jinge was taken aback.

Shen Anxin turned out to be a twin!

No wonder he was acting so weird before!

Brother Zhao Jin had a good impression of Shen Anxin. He felt that he was a very powerful and knowledgeable person. Now that he knew that he was actually a twin, he admired him even more, but when he thought of what that person said just now, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

The man brought Shen Anxin and Jiang Zhen together, which made him feel sour.

However, he didn't think that a young master like Shen Anxin would snatch Jiang Zhen from him, and also thought that Jiang Zhen had always been indifferent to Shen Anxin, so he quickly let go of him.

He has been with Jiang Zhen all the time, and he knows very well that Jiang Zhen has nothing to do with that Shen Anxin, and Shen Anxin and Jiang Zhen just said a few words politely.

But even so, Brother Zhao Jin subconsciously didn't want to bring up Shen Anxin, and just asked Jiang Zhen: "Jiang Zhen, will you be okay if you did that just now?" The young master who came up to scold people seemed quite powerful...

Jiang Zhen was also a little bit worried, he was not familiar with this capital... More importantly, he had Brother Zhao Jin beside him, and Brother Zhao Jin was still pregnant.

If Wanlong Trading Company finds someone to deal with Brother Zhao Jin like it did with Shen Anxin...

Just thinking about it, Jiang Zhen frowned tightly.

"Let's do some shopping and visit Zheng's house," Jiang Zhen said.

After Jiang Zhen left the pier and moved to the city, Zheng Yi also moved to the Zheng family.

Two days ago, Zheng Yi asked someone to find him and asked him if he wanted to meet some people.

At that time, he thought it was troublesome, so he refused, but thinking about it now... It would be good for him to know more people, and getting closer to the Zheng family would also make others afraid to attack him.

When Jiang Zhen thought about it, he did it. After eating, he took Brother Zhao Jing to buy some things, and then went to Zheng's house.

When they arrived at Zheng's house, Jiang Zhen reported his name and said he was looking for Zheng Yi, and was quickly taken into Zheng Yi's yard by the concierge, but Zheng Yi was not there and went out, and they had to wait.

Zheng Yi came back not long after. When he saw Jiang Zhen, he smiled and said, "I've looked for you several times before, but you didn't want to come here. Why did you come here today?"

"I have something to trouble Young Master Zheng." Jiang Zhen said directly, straight to the point and stated the purpose of his visit.

Zheng Yi quite likes Jiang Zhen's directness, how good is it to talk about things?After a long time of friendship and then looking for him to do something, it will make him unhappy: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Zhen thought about it, and then told the whole story.

"Wanlong Commercial Bank?" Zheng Yi laughed when he heard these four words.

"Young Master Zheng knows about them?" Jiang Zhen asked.

"I know, tomorrow, the principal of Wanlong Commercial Bank will come to Zheng's house." Zheng Yi smiled again: "Jiang Zhen, I asked you if you want to know some people before, because the household department will make a big move recently. .”

Zheng Yi spoke slowly.

It turned out that due to the increasing expenses of the royal family, the silver was not enough, so the queen mother came up with a way to save expenses.

That way is to seal some imperial merchants.

Give some merchants a certain status and official position, and then let them be responsible for purchasing something for the palace...

For example, if the palace needs a lot of silk every year, one can be selected from among the silk merchants, and given the title of imperial merchant, and let him be responsible for this matter. Naturally, the price cannot be expensive.

The Empress Dowager has been thinking about this method for a long time, and is planning to implement it recently, and the person in charge of this matter is the current Secretary of the Household Department, Master Zheng Er of the Zheng family.

Jiang Zhen only knew that Mr. Zheng Er was a second-rank official before, but he really didn't know that he was originally the Minister of the Household Department.

However, Jiang Zhen didn't know about this, but he knew something about the imperial merchants.

Even if he hasn't read the original novel of Dream of Red Mansions, he has also watched the TV series, and the Xue family in it is the imperial merchant?

Even the author of Dream of Red Mansions, the elders of his family used to be Jiangning weaving, which can be regarded as a kind of imperial business.

In the Qing Dynasty, being an imperial merchant was a sure thing.

Jiang Zhen had heard about the Imperial Merchant, but he didn't know much about it, so he naturally kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything. He only said: "If Zheng Shao can become the Imperial Merchant, he will definitely get a lot of benefits."

"It has been decided that I will be an imperial merchant." Zheng Yi was a little proud: "However, there are not many people who have made an appointment now, and some have to be selected from the merchants. Tomorrow, the Zheng family will invite some merchants to come. I originally wanted you to come and take a look, but you seem to have no intention of doing so, so you didn't force it."

Zheng Yi wanted Jiang Zhen to come, but Jiang Zhen didn't want to. He also thought that Jiang Zhen hadn't actually done any serious business, and it was basically impossible for him to be an imperial merchant, so he didn't force it.

"Wanlong Commercial Bank will also come?" Jiang Zhen asked.

"Yes, they are on the list, but they are just small merchants, and it is basically impossible to become an imperial merchant." Zheng Yi said, and asked: "Are you coming tomorrow?"

"Of course." Jiang Zhen agreed without hesitation.

At the same time, the Feng family.

After Feng Chenglin was poured a bowl of winter melon soup by Jiang Zhen, he hurried home. He found someone to prepare water and washed himself back and forth several times before he finally felt refreshed.

"Damn Jiang Zhen, I must make him look good!" Feng Chenglin couldn't help cursing while asking the maid to wipe his hair, making up his mind to show Jiang Zhen some color.

"Who are you looking for?" A dissatisfied voice sounded, Feng Chenglin raised his head, and saw his father Feng Jingyuan walking in from outside.

"Father..." Feng Chenglin called out embarrassingly.

"I heard from Shopkeeper Zhu that you went to trouble Shen Anxin and another businessman today?" Feng Jingyuan asked.

"Father, that Shen Anxin is really hateful..."

"It's not good! I told you to be nice to him and coax him to marry him. You have no patience at all. You are still playing with women outside. It's fine if you forcefully lose the good meat around your mouth. At this time, you will offend him again." What are you doing?!" Feng Jingyuan interrupted his son.

"Father, we don't need to be afraid of him!"

"He doesn't need to be afraid, but his father has always left him contacts, and barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. If you are too aggressive, you are not afraid that he will kill you? Come to your door to fight with you?" Feng Jingyuan said: "Do you know how to stay on the front line? Even if you want to swallow the Shen family, you have to boil the frogs in warm water!"

"I see, Dad." Feng Chenglin said, thinking about it carefully, he also felt that he was a little reckless before.

"There is also the businessman from other places, if you don't check out the person, you go to trouble him, are you afraid that you will cause trouble for yourself in the end?" Feng Jingyuan said again.

"He doesn't have much ability..." Hearing his father mention Jiang Zhen, Feng Chenglin's eyes flashed disgust.

Feng Jingyuan gave his son a cold look.

"Father, I was wrong. I will not be so reckless next time." Feng Chenglin began to apologize.

After his son apologized, Feng Jingyuan's face softened: "It's good that he has no skills. After a while, he will naturally be able to deal with him, but now you can't do anything."

"Why?" Feng Chenglin was puzzled.

Feng Jingyuan explained: "Your father and I have traveled countless places in order to become an imperial merchant. Now is a critical moment. You must not cause trouble for me. You must restrain yourself no matter what." When he came out, his heart was moved, and he had already paid a lot for it, so he didn't want to cause extra problems at this time.

"Father, don't worry, I will endure it." Feng Chenglin said.

"That's good. By the way, you go to bed early today, and we have to go to Zheng's house tomorrow." Feng Jingyuan said.
