Jia Hu, a fan of wealth in the Red Chamber

Before King Zhongyong came out to refute, Yang Liu, who had just been appointed as the censor of Zuoqian capital, was not happy. Yesterday his good disciple told him and Shen Xuan the whole story of this matter. Wake up, doesn't his precious apprentice also want to eat melons?His little apprentice still has to take the imperial examination!Can't bear it!

"Does Deng Yushi know why Wei Shizi went after the Japanese? It was because some fishermen of our dynasty were robbed by the Japanese and asked for help from Wei Shizi, who was inspecting the coastal defense at Citong Bay. Wei Shizi just came to recover the fishermen's belongings. Bring people to catch up! Dare I ask Deng Yushi, facing the people asking for help, Wei Shizi has the ability to help, should he not extend his hand to help, but should let those evildoers go instead?"

Mr. Yang's eloquence is not inferior to these literati who have been officials for many years, and Deng Yushi was caught off guard with one sentence.How can he accept this?Said that Wei Shizi shouldn't help fishermen recover their property?If this word spreads, the saliva of the world will drown him.But if he admits it, wouldn't he want his own face?

Before Deng Yushi could think of a way to deal with it, the sage on the dragon chair suddenly said, "Dai Quan, read to the officials what Jiang Er sent the day before yesterday."

The whole court suddenly fell silent.

"Cough, 5 taels of gold, 50 taels of silver, ten dendrobiums of white pearls, one dendrobium of gold pearls, and one dendrobium of black pearls...a piece of calligraphy by a calligrapher..." After reading a long list, the civil and military officials in the hall Baiguan was as quiet as a chicken.

"Do you understand, my lords? According to Jiang Er, less than one in a hundred Japanese lairs he suppressed, and how many treasures of our dynasty have been recovered. It can be seen that Japanese pirates are rampant, which is rare in the world. How can the people talk about living and working in peace and contentment?"

Humu looked around and saw that everyone shrank their necks and said nothing more, he sighed in his heart, if Wei Jiang hadn't told him what he had seen and heard at sea that day, he wouldn't have known that the barbarians actually Already have such a powerful firearm, and use it on sea ships.Among other things, this alone was enough to make him vigilant.The so-called lying on the couch, how can you allow others to sleep peacefully.

"I heard that Shen Aiqing and Yang Aiqing recently accepted a disciple?" The saint asked Shen Xuan and Yang Liu below.

Yang Liu replied respectfully: "That's right, my little disciple is the eldest grandson of Duke Rong Jia Daishan. He was ten years old the previous year and passed the examination. His martial arts are also very good, quite similar to that of Duke Rong My grandpa Gu was like a gentleman, and the ministers were delighted to see Lie Xin, so they took him in together as a disciple." Speaking of his little apprentice, Yang Liu was filled with joy, and completely forgot that this apprentice was still hard-pressed by him and Shen Xuan. I received it, but I didn't want to be a teacher at all.

The saint nodded without showing any emotion, "Sure enough, you are a young talent. Now that you are re-entering the court as an official, you have no time to relax every day. There are not many children of similar age in their house who can accompany you to study. Tomorrow Chun let him enter Guozixue to study. In this way, you can teach him, and he can also get along with those students of Guozixue, and he will help each other in the future, and become a pillar of the country, just around the corner!"

Of course, Yang Liu has no objection. He also wanted to let Jia Xiaohu study in the Imperial College in the coming year. In the future, he will become an official in the court. The friendship of classmates is also an important resource, isn't it?There is nothing better than the golden words of the saints today. "I thank the saint for his grace."

So this afternoon, Jia Hu heard from his master that the sage himself said that he would be admitted to the Guozi Academy next year.

Jia Hu: ...

Well, Guozixue is at least that much better than Jia's clanxue.

Seeing the young disciple with an unlovable face, Mr. Yang became angry. It was rare for him and his wife to look at a good seedling, but he didn't appreciate it at all, and he was unwilling to even ask for a teacher. He left Jia Hu a lot of homework for the winter vacation, and asked his attendants to move away the only soft couch left in Jia Hu's room before leaving. Jia Hu really cried.

"Hey... Master is so cruel. Not only did he arrange so many theories for me, but he also asked me to write scriptures and poems, and even robbed my last soft couch. It's too much. It's gone!" Jia Hu was so sad that she cried loudly in Wei Jiang's arms.

Looking at Jia Xiaohu who was rubbing tears and snot on his body, Wei Jiang's temples on the forehead twitched, stared at Jia Hu's big black head, and seriously considered whether to throw this aggressive guy out.

"Don't cry, I accidentally cried and broke my body." Jia Xiaohu's maids endured so much pain with laughter, Wei Jiang only felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavy. "I have something important to tell you today. If you continue to cry like this, it will be too late."

Jia Hu retaliated and rubbed against Wei Jiang's body a few more times, then raised her head and asked, "What's the matter?"

"You have been in the capital for a few days, shouldn't it be time to check out our businesses?" Wei Jiang asked with a smile.

Jia Hu patted his forehead. He really forgot about it. Originally, according to his idea, he only cared about sharing the money, and left all other things to Wei Jiang, but Wei Jiang didn't want him to be so easy If you are a pot dumper, when you should go to inspect, you still have to go.

After confessing, Jia Hu got into the carriage of the palace that was parked in front of Jia's mansion.

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and Jia Hu got out of the car after Wei Jiang, looked up, only to find that they had stopped in front of a restaurant, and the plaque on the restaurant said "Tianwaitian".

The restaurant is located on a bustling street where the imperial city and the inner city meet, and the people who come and go are either high-ranking officials or wealthy people.At that time, Jia Hu positioned the restaurant as a luxurious top restaurant.

This is a three-story building, which was originally a well-known restaurant in the capital.The owner of the title deed of this very large small building is none other than Wei Jiang's mother, Princess Jiahui.This was a birthday present given to the eldest princess by the King of Zhongyong County.

In order to support her son's career, the eldest princess generously gave the title deed of this building to Wei Jiang. Coincidentally, the original lease of the restaurant had also expired, and Wei Jiang took it back directly and opened the "Tianwaitian" ".

Standing at the entrance of the restaurant and looking up, the first thing that catches your eyes is the plaque that is said to be written by a certain important person.Jia Hu sighed, if he hadn't strongly opposed it at the beginning, I'm afraid that a few more words would have been added to this plaque, such as "the first building in the world".I feel a little ashamed thinking about it.

"Brother Hu, come up." Jia Hu, who was thinking back then, was brought back to his senses by the voice, looked up, and saw a young man in a purple python robe smiling and waving at him at the window facing the street on the third floor, isn't it? But who is Shen Tuqian?

Look at this guy's spirit is not bad, I'm afraid he will live a very comfortable life after returning to Beijing.

"Fourth Master seems to be having a good time recently. Look at his proud face."

Wei Jiang looked up, and said, "Since returning from Jinling, the fourth brother has solved the embarrassment of the sage's empty treasury in recent years. With the sage's heart happy, there will be more rewards."

"Tsk, the three of us do this business together, and he is probably the biggest winner."

"Do you mind?" Wei Jiang tilted his head to look at him and joked.

"Thank you for being sensitive! I only like to make money!" Make a fist!

Wei Jiang laughed, stretched out his hand and rubbed the dull hair on Jia Hu's head, speechless, "Let's go, don't make fourth brother wait."

Jia Hu nodded, and followed Wei Jiang into "Tianwaitian".

"Tianwaitian" covers an extremely large area, which is rare in this capital where every inch of land is precious.

As soon as you enter the lobby, the first thing you see is a circular high platform surrounded by a table of eight immortals. Many people who like to listen to books will come and sit and listen to a passage, make a pot of tea, buy A few taels of melon seeds, not to mention how comfortable it is.

This was proposed by Jia Hu back then, and such a location was specially circled, and a well-known storyteller in Beijing was invited here to entertain the guests who entered the store by storytelling and attract customers.

The people who spend on this floor are basically the servants and guards who go out with their masters or the people nearby, and more are the many students who gradually gather, although the money they earn is not as good as that of the second and third floors. A table of hundreds to thousands of taels, I heard that the money spent on drinking tea and eating melon seeds here every day, it is also very impressive.

It's just that Jia Hu didn't expect that as the reputation of "Tianwaitian" grew, this place gradually became a place for literati and students to discuss poetry and papers. After all, every three years in the spring, the capital gathered people from all over the world. students.

"Tianwaitian" is much higher than other restaurants and teahouses in terms of hardware and software. At least the calligraphy, paintings and poems hanging in the lobby are all authentic works!

Moreover, with luck, it is not impossible to fall into the eyes of some nobles and ascend to the sky in one step.

It was lunch time at this time, and the lobby on the first floor was already [-]% full. The white-haired storyteller's book seemed to be reaching its climax, and many guests were listening attentively with excitement.According to Jia Hu's wishes, there are quite a few more expensive ornaments around, and the proud works of some students and scholars are hung on the walls, which is quite interesting.

Jia Hu glanced at it, but didn't take it seriously, and followed Wei Jiang straight up to the third floor.

The third floor is the most luxurious place in the entire "Tianwaitian". The walls are hung with masterpieces handed down by famous masters. Every decoration, even if it is not an antique, is also an exquisitely crafted masterpiece of famous masters. Some even come from the palace. .

Jia Hu, who came to "Tianwaitian" for the first time, was almost overwhelmed, his eyes were full of gold!Standing under the "Huang Ting Jing", which is the treasure of the town building, Jia Hu clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the eager desire to touch the treasure handed down from generation to generation. Jia Hu seriously considered and moved these things back to the possibility of home.

"Don't think about it, this one is a saint's collection, and my mother came out to borrow it." Wei Jiang could see at a glance what was going on in Jia Hu's heart. In a word, he directly took Jia Hu's picture Ideas die in the bud.

Jia Hu stroked the dull hair on his head, "I'm just looking at it." Don't let the guilty conscience in your tone be too obvious.

Wei Jiang didn't believe him, "I've been watching it for a long time, and I've missed it in my heart. I don't know when these treasures in the building will become yours."

Jia Hu stared: "...you don't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, and you don't expose your shortcomings when you curse!"

"Did I say something wrong?" Wei Jiang folded his arms and stared at him.

Jia Hu directed luck at Wei Jiang, considering whether to beat him up.

"What are you doing standing here? You don't go in even if you come?" A familiar voice came from behind the two.
