Heshen is a strict wife
Chapter 52
Anyone who is soft-hearted or even sympathetic at the beginning, and later discovers that the object of soft-heartedness is actually obsessed with obsession, if he wants to attack again, there may be no room left.
Feng Shuangzhi can be regarded as one of the best.
If she wants to do it, she will do it the best.
He Shen also deduced Feng Shuangzhi's strategy from the various details of the incident, but in the end he could only sigh and couldn't say anything.
He felt that this was the real Feng Shuangzhi, the Feng Shuangzhi he liked so much...
As for Feng Shuangzhi himself, he was just teasing the dumpling, listening to the news reported by the maid.
In the past two days, she had already added a dowry to Xitao, and Fan Yiheng also liked Xitao, and the two of them liked it very much. The wedding day was approaching, and Feng Shuangzhi was a little busy here.
She handed the dumpling to the nanny to take care of it, but she walked aside. There was a book on the table that recorded the gifts received at the full moon banquet. She flipped through it and asked, "How is it?"
"I heard that after they went back, Mr. Qian didn't plan to divorce his wife, but Mrs. Qian was crying, cursing and saying a lot of bad things in the house, which attracted the attention of Mr. Qian's parents, so they forced Lord Qian divorces his wife."
This is really made by myself...
After all, it is a one-night couple with a hundred nights of grace. If Feng Yunjing is willing to be smart and doesn't explain a word, maybe after a while, Qian Feng will also understand that the matter is irreversible. Thinking of Feng Yunjing's prosperity, life can continue like this.
Love and marriage cannot be equated, but Feng Yunjing still doesn't seem to understand.
If you don't do it, you won't die, she is just pushing hands, and it is Feng Yunjing herself who finally made it all happen.
"How is the result?"
Xitao is no longer serving by Feng Shuangzhi's side, she also has to prepare her own marriage, Feng Shuangzhi's side will be served by Wei Mian.
When Wei Mian was in Yinglian Mansion, she was quite clever, and she was finally transferred to Feng Shuangzhi's side. She was also quite clever, unlike Xitao who could say funny things, Wei Mian was a very serious woman, although she was old Small, but quite mature, even somewhat similar to Feng Shuangzhi.
In fact, marrying Xitao and changing to Weimian was not accidental.
Feng Shuangzhi's current environment is different after all.
She is He Shen's wife now, and she has a lot of contacts, so it's just right for her to be replaced by a close servant girl like Wei Mian who seems to be a bit more scheming.
Wei Mian lowered her voice at this moment and said: "The news this morning is that Qian Feng has divorced his wife. As for Miss Feng San's situation, it is not very clear, it seems that she has not left yet."
Feng Yunjing should be desperate now, right?
"But... there is one more thing..." Wei Mian took a look at Feng Shuangzhi, as if hesitating whether she should say this, but seeing that Feng Shuangzhi didn't lift his eyelids, she understood, she Said, "Today is the day when the concubine of the Qian Mansion comes in."
Feng Shuangzhi then laughed, this concubine was probably the one who pushed him into the water.
Back then Feng Yunjing was able to make friends with this concubine, so what about today?As the next wife, the relationship between her and that concubine...
Wei Mian didn't understand why Feng Shuangzhi was smiling, her face was full of doubts.
Feng Shuangzhi flipped through the gift list and said, "You go down first."
Wei Mian blessed herself, didn't dare to ask any more questions, and went down.
After all, she just came to Feng Shuangzhi's side, and many things are not clear yet. She was a second-class maid before, but she also knew Feng Shuangzhi's methods were powerful, so she was a little scared.
But after touching it, it seems to be much better.
Feng Shuangzhi thought about this matter, and it would take a few days to get results, so he didn't care much.
Opening the gift list, most of them were court officials. That day He Shen flipped through the book and looked at the name of one of them, seeming to frown.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't want to interfere with He Shen's affairs, he was just curious.
She flipped through the pages and saw the names of the people on it, but she didn't feel anything unusual, but when she turned to the middle, she found a strange person.
An Ming, give me a pot of red coral and a small mutton jade Guanyin...
This man is generous.
Feng Shuangzhi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at his official position. He was just a member of the household department, and he was just a petty official. Where did this person get so much money to give gifts?No wonder He Shen frowned, even Feng Shuangzhi frowned when he saw it.
It is the same reason as the editing of the Hanlin Academy, there is no place to make money, so it is not normal for An Ming to take out these things at this time.
Although he knew that corruption was prevalent in the Qianlong Dynasty, and even his own husband was what would be called huge corruption in the future, but now...
He Shen didn't start being greedy at this time either.
Feng Shuangzhi's heart was heavy.
At this moment, He Shen was working in the household department, and An Ming brought up a lot of books, "These have already been sorted out, please check it out, sir."
He Shen didn't raise his head, and said, "Let it go."
In fact, An Ming was originally a secretary of the household department, but he was promoted and demoted by Feng only two days ago.
He Shen is very clear about this matter, and also knows that An Ming colluded with other ministers to fight against Feng Sheng.An Ming made good friends with the previous left and right servants, and wanted to take Feng Sheng's position off the table, only then did Feng Sheng know about it, he was very contemptuous of Feng Sheng, and Feng Sheng's nature was impossible to be soft on him.
Who is Feng Shengquan?down from the battlefield.Although he may not be an upright and capable official, it can be said that he is quite scheming and cunning to be able to get to this point. Naturally, it is impossible to lose to such a small secretary. The evidence of the servant's crime was reported to Qianlong, and finally the two were transferred.
As for An Ming, who had ulterior motives, he was naturally demoted to be a writer.
He Shen has only been serving as the right servant of the household department for a short time, and he doesn't want to offend anyone here. This An Ming wants to curry favor with him, so he can't just push away and make enemies for himself.
He Shen's current attitude is a bit lukewarm, which makes An Ming unable to understand, so he can only put down his things and leave.
In the afternoon, Qianlong invited people into the palace for questioning, about the recent deficit of the household department.
Sitting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, holding a collection of poems in his hand, he asked Feng Sheng: "How is the account settlement of the Ministry of Accounts recently? The taxes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are exempted in this way. What is that?" Zheng Shifang seems to be quite capable, what do you think?"
"Long live, the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are big tax-paying provinces. If they don't pay taxes this year, the treasury will..." Feng Sheng is not in favor of tax reduction or exemption at all, especially for Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
Qianlong's treasury is indeed not rich at all. It took thirteen years for Yongzheng Lord to fill the deficit of the Kangxi Dynasty. Qianlong has spent almost all his money when he went to the south of the Yangtze River these few times, and now he wants to reduce taxes...
He Shen felt a little absurd in his heart, going to Burma and pacifying Jinchuan, which one doesn't cost money?Wanting to reduce or exempt taxes now feels like a dream.
Fukang'an is also here, and echoed: "Although the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts have not been calculated yet, the national treasury is indeed empty. A lot of money has been spent on the expedition to Burma and Pingping Jinchuan, and the renovation of the Old Summer Palace. If this year Tax reduction and exemption for Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces... I'm afraid it's..."
Needless to say, Qianlong himself can comprehend.
The person who said this was Fu Kang'an, and Qianlong couldn't be angry, so he could only sullen his face, "In this case, you all go back and give me a clear accounting of the accounts of the household department, and then see you again."
"The ministers obey the order."
Everyone backed away.
After leaving the palace, Feng Shengle sighed and said: "What is this..."
Fu Kang'an said as he walked: "I see that His Majesty is looking at the map of Jiangnan recently, and said that he wants to listen to Wu Yue's music. I'm afraid he still wants to go to Jiangnan."
"Sacred Grandpa went to Jiangnan everywhere, how many times does our Long Live Lord have to go down?" Feng Sheng'e couldn't help saying this, and then began to sigh again.
He Shen had nothing to say along the way, and seemed extraordinarily quiet.
It was getting late, and they returned home after leaving the palace.
He Shen only felt that there were a lot of things going on recently, so he went back to find Feng Shuangzhi, only to find that she was teaching the group to speak.
"Come on, Tuanzi, look at Erniang...call me Erniang..."
She half-lyed on the bed, coaxing the child, He Shen went in and laughed at her: "Such a small child can't talk, what are you thinking?"
Feng Shuangzhi didn't expect him to come back so early today, so he picked up the dumpling and walked to him, "Our dumpling must be smarter than other children..."
Feng Shuangzhi said something with a smile, which only made He Shen feel that she had a thick skin.
He Shen stretched out his hand to hug the dumpling, but the dumpling rolled his dark eyes, as if he didn't notice He Shen, but turned around to grab the hairpin on Feng Shuangzhi's head, his face was pink, and he ignored it at all He Shen's outstretched hand.
Feng Shuangzhi laughed loudly, and kissed him, "Tuanzi is so good. If you love Erniang and don't love Ama, be good..."
He is not good at all.
He Shen really felt that after having a child, he had fallen out of favor.
He patted his forehead and said: "If there is a cruel and heartless mother, there must be a cruel and heartless son. This is the end for Shen and I... Not only are we rejected by our wife, but also by our son. Old age has something to support? Alas, alas..."
This person is not a typical person, and he likes to say unreliable things when he is excited.
Feng Shuangzhi gave him a blank look, and continued to coax Tuanzi to speak.
It's just that what can a child of more than one month say?
No matter how Feng Shuangzhi tried to lure him, Tuanzi opened his mouth at most, but there was only that childish babbling sound—if this child knew that his mother always thought he would be a genius when he was young, I don't know if he would be. Depressed to vomit blood?
She kept talking to Tuanzi, and completely ignored He Shen, who could only sit down, so she saw the roster of the gift list that Feng Shuangzhi had opened...
An Ming's name.
He asked her, "Why did you suddenly turn this thing out?"
Feng Shuangzhi didn't turn his head back and said: "Seeing you frowning at the gift list that day, I was a little curious about what you were thinking about frowning, but now I know."
The dumpling in her arms suddenly opened its mouth wide, Feng Shuangzhi was a little surprised, thinking that he was going to say something, but the child...just grew his mouth, yawned, and closed his eyes, He didn't give himself such a mother face at all.
Feng Shuangzhi, who was full of expectations, was suddenly a little embarrassed.
Heshen saw all this, walked over and hugged the dumpling, and scolded: "You dare to sleep in the arms of a beauty, you are so brave, I will let you go to sleep, Ama. Sister Xida, Come and take the son down to sleep."
"Yes." Mammy stepped forward and took the dumpling.
Feng Shuangzhi pursed his lips depressedly, and said, "This kid doesn't know people at all."
He Shen laughed at her: "How old are you, do you care about a child? When it comes to children, you seem to be as old as a child..."
In fact, it's all because it's the first time to be a mother, so many times I don't grasp the middle scale well, sometimes it seems a little doting, and sometimes it seems a little harsh.
Sometimes Feng Shuangzhi couldn't understand herself, as long as she thought about the future of this child, she couldn't stop worrying and wanted to treat him better.
Most of the panic can only be buried in my heart and cannot be told to others. At this time, I have to tell myself that everything will be fine.
In fact, sometimes, Feng Shuangzhi is not as cold and hard as he appears...
Maybe it was her silence that also ignited the panic in his heart. He frowned, seeing her panicked expression, he went up and pulled her arm: "What's wrong?"
Feng Shuangzhi came back to his senses, smiled, and asked about An Ming in a disguised manner: "I was just wondering who the hell is An Ming? It's just a child's full moon wine, why did he send so many things? "
They are also extremely valuable.
The full moon wine is fine, if you give something special on other occasions, it will be difficult.
Sensing Feng Shuangzhi's worry, He Shen pulled her to sit down, and seeing that it was getting late, he asked the people below to prepare meals, "These things are unavoidable in the officialdom. After all, it's the full moon wine, and he sent things openly. , we are not easy to push away."
"Then what if he bribes you in private?" Feng Shuangzhi asked again.
He Shen smiled: "That depends on what's going on."
Feng Shuangzhi controlled the pace of the matter and didn't ask any further questions.
He Shen suddenly thought of something at this time, "In the afternoon, Lord Long Live summoned us to enter the palace and said that the treasury was empty, but when talking about taxes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he praised our Mr. Zheng, I always feel that Mr. Zheng is probably coming back."
It has been several years since Zheng Shifang was transferred to Jiangnan. He is a person with big ambitions. Before that, it was just because he had no room to display his talents. Now that he has such a platform, he seized the opportunity to climb up—it is conceivable that he will He and Shen are, without accident, the most popular figures in the imperial court.
"This year's spring is about to start, and another group of people will come up at that time." He Shen laughed, "I think Mr. Zheng may become the academic administration on the Jiangsu and Zhejiang side, in charge of scientific examinations."
Speaking of Chunwei, Feng Shuangzhi thought of someone.
She didn't say a word to He Shen, she just said, "They're making vegetables, let's go there."
He Shen nodded, and had dinner with Feng Shuangzhi, during which time they talked about the matter between Fan Yiheng and Xitao, and then they talked about the matter of adding a maid to the mansion.
"Let's leave this matter to Liu Quan'er." Feng Shuangzhi pondered for a moment, "Things in the mansion started to increase, and things with Lin haven't been settled yet, but now the road is wide open. I'll go tomorrow Pick some gifts and give them to Xizhu."
He Shen knew that she and Xizhu were close, so he only said one word to be careful.
They slept together at night, and Feng Shuangzhi's health was almost healed. He might have to have sex with Heshen. He was so exhausted that he couldn't get up early the next morning, so he was lazy until noon. After dressing up, I took my maidservant and a few servants to go out.
Xizhu likes some treasures of literature and ink, so she goes out to help choose.
The four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as calligraphy and painting scrolls.
Feng Shuangzhi thought about it, stood in front of the counter, looked at these paintings, and was a little uncertain.
"Is there nothing more suitable?"
What she wants is the kind of literati paintings that are more suitable for Xizhu. Some of the paintings in this shop seem to be relatively wealthy, suitable for hanging in the homes of high officials, but there seems to be none for women.
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, "A few days ago, there were some, but the young master who painted for the small shop recently is a talented man who is more popular. As soon as his paintings came out, all the girls snatched them away. This is really unreasonable." Keep a few."
Feng Shuangzhi actually laughed, "Where did such a charismatic talent come from that he even sells his paintings so well? I think he must be a flirtatious talent?"
She was just joking, but she didn't expect the shopkeeper to say with a serious face: "Ma'am, you can't say that, that young master has a good character, how many girls fall in love with him, he is really the same as Liu Xiahui."
The shopkeeper is quite serious, Feng Shuangzhi didn't care, just said: "There is no one here, so I have to change to another place."
Feng Shuangzhi brought a lot of people with her when she came out today. Anyone who saw her would know that she was not an ordinary customer. , we will be able to send you a painting that satisfies you right away, and you will never be disappointed."
She was interested for a while, "The shopkeeper's words are not afraid of flashing his tongue, but I have high vision. Where can I be satisfied with the paintings that are delivered directly?"
This store was just wandering around, there was no plan at all, but now that the shopkeeper has actually given this guarantee, she can only stay and take a look.
The shopkeeper simply asked Feng Shuangzhi to sit down, and brought out other treasures in the store to show Feng Shuangzhi.
It's fine for Feng Shuangzhi to just sit and look around, but only after looking at it did he realize that this store has a very deep heritage and there are quite a lot of treasures out there.
Feng Shuangzhi liked a pair of jade bis, but it was useless to buy them back, so he just held them in his hands for a while, and chatted with the shopkeeper for a while.
The shopkeeper inadvertently mentioned: "The one who painted for me in this shop is a geek. He hasn't taken the imperial examination for many years after the provincial examination, but it seems that he will go this year. My shop will soon become the number one scholar." store."
The shopkeeper was a bit fat, but he spoke with an indescribable complacency at the moment, as if he had fallen in love with Bole, who had fallen in love with Maxima.
Feng Shuangzhi recalled what happened during Heshen's imperial examination. At the beginning, she still thought that Heshen would definitely be the number one scholar in the examination, but the result surprised her. "Shopkeeper, you don't know, the puddle of water here is deep, it doesn't take talent to win the first prize."
The shopkeeper seemed to have heard this too, so he said with a smile: "Ma'am, what you said is true. I heard that the current servant of the household department was also talented at the beginning, but he failed in the exam... I just hope that I will be in love with you." It’s good that nothing happens to this one.”
"You really have great expectations for him." Feng Shuangzhi hadn't seen someone like the boss for a long time, and he even said a lot to him for a while.
The shopkeeper here doesn't have much business at this time, seeing that Feng Shuangzhi seems to be determined to wait for the calligraphy and painting, so he made a pot of good tea for Feng Shuangzhi, "Looking at Madam, she doesn't seem to be in a hurry, why don't you drink a cup of tea. Cup of tea, let's do a long-term business."
The shopkeeper had a good plan.
However, Feng Shuangzhi likes such a frank statement. After getting married, there will be nothing to do. It seems good to sit here drinking tea and spend the afternoon.
Originally, she was still thinking of visiting the playground, but now chatting with the shopkeeper seems to be good.
The shopkeeper has traveled all over the world, has seen many things, and is quite insightful when he speaks.
Feng Shuangzhi talked with him for a while, and suddenly remembered something, and asked the boss's ancestral home, it turned out to be from Jiangnan.
At this time, Liu Quan'er suddenly said from behind: "Why do I listen, I think you, the shopkeeper, have a Wuyue accent?"
The shopkeeper said "Yo", as if he didn't expect to be heard by others. He is a little fat and has a double chin, but his eyes are very gentle, unlike those businessmen outside, who are very philistine.
"I am indeed from the south of the Yangtze River, but I am from Yangzhou. I have been in the capital for a long time. I thought this accent was an authentic Beijing movie, but it was recognized by your powerful servant."
Feng Shuangzhi still believed in Liu Quan'er's ability, so he laughed at this moment: "Liu Quan'er, you have really good ears. But shopkeeper, you can recognize my voice, which also has a bit of Wu Yue's accent."
"Haha..." The shopkeeper smiled, "I've heard it a long time ago, but it's not very serious. Madam, you have been to Jiangnan and lived for a while, right? You can still hear the authentic capital of the original with this accent." Accent. It is precisely because I can hear it that I am willing to talk to Madam about these few words."
These words were a bit arrogant, maybe the shopkeeper himself didn't realize how sensitive Feng Shuangzhi was?Just listening to his last sentence, I understood everything. Although this man is a businessman, he doesn't look very old-fashioned. He even has a refined demeanor. He must be a Confucian businessman who has studied.
She suddenly felt that this identity setting was very suitable for a person...
"After talking for a long time, you haven't asked the shopkeeper's name yet?"
The shopkeeper didn't mind at all, and said casually, "Mian your surname is Wang."
"Wang Rulong..." Feng Shuangzhi suddenly called out the name.
Wang Rulong was surprised, "How does Madam know?"
Feng Shuangzhi was just guessing, and it came true before he thought about it.
She really felt that there were some things she couldn't escape...
"When I was in Jiangning before, I heard about several major salt merchants in Yangzhou. Shopkeeper Wang is one of them that I have to mention. I just heard you talking like people from there, so I thought about it for a while. I asked your surname, and I guessed what you said casually." Feng Shuangzhi only thought that the road was narrow.
I have indeed heard of Wang Rulong's name before, this person is very famous, especially in the Jiangnan area.
All the salt merchants over there are rich, even said to be the world's richest, and they are indescribably capable.
Now that he unexpectedly met Wang Rulong in the capital, Feng Shuangzhi would say that he was lucky.
——No, it’s just bad luck.
He Shen will become Wang Rulong's nobleman, and this person will also become He Shen's helper.Feng Shuangzhi felt that he hadn't come in vain.
Wang Rulong really didn't expect such a coincidence to happen, he sighed for a while, remembering the glory of the past and the predicament of today, he sighed again and again: "I, Wang Rulong, have already come to the capital, but the things in Yangzhou are not good. , you don’t know... Our business over there has always been linked to the Cao Gang. If the inspector of salt and censors don’t give us Yan Yin, we can’t do anything. There were some ways to think about it before, but since Then when Li Shiyao and others went to the south of the Yangtze River, everything went wrong...the Cao Gang was in chaos, and even official salt and private salt couldn't get through..."
In other words, Wang Rulong actually came here...
Looking at Feng Shuangzhi's expression, Wang Rulong knew that she had guessed it, and continued to sigh: "I'm afraid Ma'am has already guessed it. I came to the capital to find a way out, but there are not many things going on in this store right now. Come and cook while waiting for news..."
I'm afraid there are not many opportunities to wait.
The high-ranking officials in the capital, who were tipped off by somewhere, don't want to see Wang Rulong, right?
In the past, Feng Shuangzhi had heard a lot about these rich salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. He also knew that there were several big salt merchants in Yangzhou, and Wang Rulong was one of them. They were doing well, but Wang Rulong alone had an accident, maybe something happened to the salt merchants in Yangzhou.
Just now Wang Rulong mentioned Li Shiyao's name, which made Feng Shuangzhi pay attention.
She can't say anything now, let alone her identity.
However, she has already begun to doubt that there is such a coincidence that she can meet Wang Rulong just by looking for a shop at random. If the coincidence is too much, it becomes a kind of calculation.
She smiled: "Boss Wang has great powers, so he must be able to solve it."
Only Wang Rulong knows whether it is a coincidence that he appears here. He actually knows Feng Shuangzhi's identity. The high-ranking officials in the capital can't curry favor with him. , it may not be useful in the future.
In the future, Wang Rulong will be extremely grateful and regretful about his decision to contact Feng Shuangzhi today, but the current Wang Rulong still doesn't know about it.
"I just hope that I can find someone in the capital to make it easier, otherwise the foundation in Yangzhou will have to be abolished... The Nine Provinces Water Transport has changed its head, it is a hard stubble, and I am going to talk to Li Shiyao and others If we don't dare to participate, we can only suffer a dark loss?" Wang Rulong doesn't mind revealing some information, although these are confidential, but they are secret weapons to gain people's favor.
Sure enough, Feng Shuangzhi became interested as soon as she heard it, and Wang Rulong wanted to flatter her, so she directly gave her a ladder and asked, "I remember the Nine Provinces Water Transport... Isn't Zhang Gaoyuan the section of Gaoyou in Yangzhou? He didn't Can you become the boss?"
The general manager is talking about the highest family member, but it is actually a slang word.
The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through the north and the south, and connects several major water systems. It flows through several provinces, so it is called "Nine Provinces Water Transport". The water transport is busy and there are many ships on the water. Gradually, water thieves come to intercept ships on the river goods.In order to expand the business and resist Jiang Pirates, some boatmen and helmsmen gradually agreed to go together, and then the Cao Gang was born.
The current Cao Gang controls many boats on the river, and controls the people who go on the boats. Ships going south and north must listen to the Cao Gang.
They mainly transported tea and private salt between Beijing and Hangzhou, and also helped some merchants to bring some other things.
Nine Provinces Water Transport, there are Nine Provinces Water Gang, each province has its own power, so each province’s Water Gang has a scoop handle, and the chief manager of the Nine Provinces Water Gang is the chief scoop handle , it can be said that it controls the entire water transportation.
It seems that the matter of Wang Rulong is caused by the Cao Gang.
Feng Shuangzhi still has a good understanding of the situation here, and Jiangnan has not been in vain for a few years.
But the bitterness on Wang Rulong's face turned up: "You don't know, it would be great if Zhang Gaoyuan was still there. That Gaoyuan was originally a powerful person, but his original second position suddenly jumped up. On that day, the gathering of the crowd actually forced Zhang Gaoyuan to retreat. The affairs of the Jiangshang Cao Gang have always caused countless deaths and injuries. You should have heard of the struggle between their Cao Gang. It is no more brutal than our Salt Gang. The entire river has become popular. The new head of the Cao Gang is called Lian Shuangcheng. He is a ruthless character. All the previous relationships are useless. Yan Yin from Xunyan Yushi's side can't get off, and the business on the river is not easy to do. , all at once... oh..."
Wang Rulong couldn't help sighing when he talked about the things about the Cao Gang and the Salt Gang.
Feng Shuangzhi had heard about the situation there for a long time, but now that he heard Wang Rulong's words, he didn't know what to say. At this moment, the person Wang Rulong was waiting for also came.
This person is really the person Feng Shuangzhi thought of.
All along the Qing Dynasty, there were not many people who passed the exam and did not participate in Chunwei, let alone talented people?
When he saw Wang Jie appearing outside the door, Feng Shuangzhi knew that the time was completely ripe.
Now that Wang Jie is back, many stories seem to be able to unfold.
The green shirt Wang Jie wore was as unruly as ever, and he even had a smile on his face when he came in from the outside.
In today's past, the bookishness when he met Feng Shuangzhi that day has faded away, and he has become a little more calm and indifferent after vicissitudes.He didn't seem to expect that when he entered the door, he saw Feng Shuangzhi sitting on the side drinking tea.
Wang Rulong is also a Confucian businessman. He has read many sage books, and he likes to associate with people like Wang Jie the most. This can be regarded as a kind of political investment.He hasn't discovered the acquaintance between Feng Shuangzhi and Wang Jie for the time being, so he walked up and patted Wang Jie on the shoulder, "Little brother, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Here is a The lady is waiting for the literati to come, and you have solved the urgent need."
Who knew that Wang Jie followed his gaze to look at Feng Shuangzhi. Feng Shuangzhi sat at the round table with a glass of Biluochun in his hand, and looked at him quietly.
Some scenes from the past were lightly flashed across Wang Jie's eyes like this.Thinking of those unbearable memories back then, he even laughed, looked at Feng Shuangzhi and said, "If this madam likes literati paintings, why don't you paint by yourself? Presumably, Madam He's skills are always better than those of Mr. Wang." awesome."
Wang Rulong was startled, thinking that Wang Jie took the wrong medicine today, why is it so sharp like a needle?He was afraid that he would offend He Shen and his wife, so he hurriedly turned his head, but he saw Feng Shuangzhi's expression of indifference, as if he had known Wang Jie's virtue for a long time.At this moment, Wang Rulong's heart became subtle, and he didn't dare to speak for the time being.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't expect that after all these years, Wang Jie still had this kind of virtue. "I didn't know I had such a reputation..."
These words were just casual perfunctory, how could Wang Jie say in a serious manner: "Back then, my wife's name was spread throughout Jiangnan, and countless scholars were fascinated by it... It's a pity..."
Feng Shuangzhi didn't like other people's words with some twists and turns, so he frowned at this moment and looked at him.
Under Wang Rulong's trembling eyes, Wang Jie actually said: "It's a pity...it doesn't include mere things."
Liu Quan'er and the others just listened in a daze. They didn't know what kind of grievances this scholar had with his wife. How could such words hurt others?
Wang Rulong was terrified, this Wang Jie used to be considered humble when speaking, why today...
Feng Shuangzhi wasn't surprised at all. She laughed: "Wang Jie, why do you hurt me by talking? It's just that after seeing me, you recall those unbearable memories from the past."
Wang Jie lowered his head, with a smile on his handsome face, but the words he said were cold: "Ma'am, you are joking, how dare a person like Wang Jie challenge your second-rank wife?"
Feng Shuangzhi was about to be laughed at by him, and immediately stood up, "I'm just here to buy paintings, you don't need to say so much, I just hope that you will have a good performance in Chunwei this year and make others look at you with admiration."
The main reason is to make some people hate their blindness.
Wang Jie raised his head and stared at Feng Shuangzhi, feeling that she hadn't seen her for a long time, and when he saw her again today, she was already very rich.
Many moods are changing.
He will always remember the words that this woman said that day, the difference between saving a person and saving a group of people.
Those who are officials have the heart of helping the world.
"Since Madam has high hopes for Wang Jie, Wang Jie will naturally not let her down."
In fact, there is still hatred after all...
If you don't hate, how is it possible?Being tricked by the woman he loves so much, Wang Jie is not a stupid person. He didn't understand it at the time, but can he still not understand it afterwards?
This man, who came back with hatred, is probably Chen Xijia...
Feng Shuangzhi can be regarded as one of the best.
If she wants to do it, she will do it the best.
He Shen also deduced Feng Shuangzhi's strategy from the various details of the incident, but in the end he could only sigh and couldn't say anything.
He felt that this was the real Feng Shuangzhi, the Feng Shuangzhi he liked so much...
As for Feng Shuangzhi himself, he was just teasing the dumpling, listening to the news reported by the maid.
In the past two days, she had already added a dowry to Xitao, and Fan Yiheng also liked Xitao, and the two of them liked it very much. The wedding day was approaching, and Feng Shuangzhi was a little busy here.
She handed the dumpling to the nanny to take care of it, but she walked aside. There was a book on the table that recorded the gifts received at the full moon banquet. She flipped through it and asked, "How is it?"
"I heard that after they went back, Mr. Qian didn't plan to divorce his wife, but Mrs. Qian was crying, cursing and saying a lot of bad things in the house, which attracted the attention of Mr. Qian's parents, so they forced Lord Qian divorces his wife."
This is really made by myself...
After all, it is a one-night couple with a hundred nights of grace. If Feng Yunjing is willing to be smart and doesn't explain a word, maybe after a while, Qian Feng will also understand that the matter is irreversible. Thinking of Feng Yunjing's prosperity, life can continue like this.
Love and marriage cannot be equated, but Feng Yunjing still doesn't seem to understand.
If you don't do it, you won't die, she is just pushing hands, and it is Feng Yunjing herself who finally made it all happen.
"How is the result?"
Xitao is no longer serving by Feng Shuangzhi's side, she also has to prepare her own marriage, Feng Shuangzhi's side will be served by Wei Mian.
When Wei Mian was in Yinglian Mansion, she was quite clever, and she was finally transferred to Feng Shuangzhi's side. She was also quite clever, unlike Xitao who could say funny things, Wei Mian was a very serious woman, although she was old Small, but quite mature, even somewhat similar to Feng Shuangzhi.
In fact, marrying Xitao and changing to Weimian was not accidental.
Feng Shuangzhi's current environment is different after all.
She is He Shen's wife now, and she has a lot of contacts, so it's just right for her to be replaced by a close servant girl like Wei Mian who seems to be a bit more scheming.
Wei Mian lowered her voice at this moment and said: "The news this morning is that Qian Feng has divorced his wife. As for Miss Feng San's situation, it is not very clear, it seems that she has not left yet."
Feng Yunjing should be desperate now, right?
"But... there is one more thing..." Wei Mian took a look at Feng Shuangzhi, as if hesitating whether she should say this, but seeing that Feng Shuangzhi didn't lift his eyelids, she understood, she Said, "Today is the day when the concubine of the Qian Mansion comes in."
Feng Shuangzhi then laughed, this concubine was probably the one who pushed him into the water.
Back then Feng Yunjing was able to make friends with this concubine, so what about today?As the next wife, the relationship between her and that concubine...
Wei Mian didn't understand why Feng Shuangzhi was smiling, her face was full of doubts.
Feng Shuangzhi flipped through the gift list and said, "You go down first."
Wei Mian blessed herself, didn't dare to ask any more questions, and went down.
After all, she just came to Feng Shuangzhi's side, and many things are not clear yet. She was a second-class maid before, but she also knew Feng Shuangzhi's methods were powerful, so she was a little scared.
But after touching it, it seems to be much better.
Feng Shuangzhi thought about this matter, and it would take a few days to get results, so he didn't care much.
Opening the gift list, most of them were court officials. That day He Shen flipped through the book and looked at the name of one of them, seeming to frown.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't want to interfere with He Shen's affairs, he was just curious.
She flipped through the pages and saw the names of the people on it, but she didn't feel anything unusual, but when she turned to the middle, she found a strange person.
An Ming, give me a pot of red coral and a small mutton jade Guanyin...
This man is generous.
Feng Shuangzhi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at his official position. He was just a member of the household department, and he was just a petty official. Where did this person get so much money to give gifts?No wonder He Shen frowned, even Feng Shuangzhi frowned when he saw it.
It is the same reason as the editing of the Hanlin Academy, there is no place to make money, so it is not normal for An Ming to take out these things at this time.
Although he knew that corruption was prevalent in the Qianlong Dynasty, and even his own husband was what would be called huge corruption in the future, but now...
He Shen didn't start being greedy at this time either.
Feng Shuangzhi's heart was heavy.
At this moment, He Shen was working in the household department, and An Ming brought up a lot of books, "These have already been sorted out, please check it out, sir."
He Shen didn't raise his head, and said, "Let it go."
In fact, An Ming was originally a secretary of the household department, but he was promoted and demoted by Feng only two days ago.
He Shen is very clear about this matter, and also knows that An Ming colluded with other ministers to fight against Feng Sheng.An Ming made good friends with the previous left and right servants, and wanted to take Feng Sheng's position off the table, only then did Feng Sheng know about it, he was very contemptuous of Feng Sheng, and Feng Sheng's nature was impossible to be soft on him.
Who is Feng Shengquan?down from the battlefield.Although he may not be an upright and capable official, it can be said that he is quite scheming and cunning to be able to get to this point. Naturally, it is impossible to lose to such a small secretary. The evidence of the servant's crime was reported to Qianlong, and finally the two were transferred.
As for An Ming, who had ulterior motives, he was naturally demoted to be a writer.
He Shen has only been serving as the right servant of the household department for a short time, and he doesn't want to offend anyone here. This An Ming wants to curry favor with him, so he can't just push away and make enemies for himself.
He Shen's current attitude is a bit lukewarm, which makes An Ming unable to understand, so he can only put down his things and leave.
In the afternoon, Qianlong invited people into the palace for questioning, about the recent deficit of the household department.
Sitting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, holding a collection of poems in his hand, he asked Feng Sheng: "How is the account settlement of the Ministry of Accounts recently? The taxes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are exempted in this way. What is that?" Zheng Shifang seems to be quite capable, what do you think?"
"Long live, the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are big tax-paying provinces. If they don't pay taxes this year, the treasury will..." Feng Sheng is not in favor of tax reduction or exemption at all, especially for Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
Qianlong's treasury is indeed not rich at all. It took thirteen years for Yongzheng Lord to fill the deficit of the Kangxi Dynasty. Qianlong has spent almost all his money when he went to the south of the Yangtze River these few times, and now he wants to reduce taxes...
He Shen felt a little absurd in his heart, going to Burma and pacifying Jinchuan, which one doesn't cost money?Wanting to reduce or exempt taxes now feels like a dream.
Fukang'an is also here, and echoed: "Although the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts have not been calculated yet, the national treasury is indeed empty. A lot of money has been spent on the expedition to Burma and Pingping Jinchuan, and the renovation of the Old Summer Palace. If this year Tax reduction and exemption for Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces... I'm afraid it's..."
Needless to say, Qianlong himself can comprehend.
The person who said this was Fu Kang'an, and Qianlong couldn't be angry, so he could only sullen his face, "In this case, you all go back and give me a clear accounting of the accounts of the household department, and then see you again."
"The ministers obey the order."
Everyone backed away.
After leaving the palace, Feng Shengle sighed and said: "What is this..."
Fu Kang'an said as he walked: "I see that His Majesty is looking at the map of Jiangnan recently, and said that he wants to listen to Wu Yue's music. I'm afraid he still wants to go to Jiangnan."
"Sacred Grandpa went to Jiangnan everywhere, how many times does our Long Live Lord have to go down?" Feng Sheng'e couldn't help saying this, and then began to sigh again.
He Shen had nothing to say along the way, and seemed extraordinarily quiet.
It was getting late, and they returned home after leaving the palace.
He Shen only felt that there were a lot of things going on recently, so he went back to find Feng Shuangzhi, only to find that she was teaching the group to speak.
"Come on, Tuanzi, look at Erniang...call me Erniang..."
She half-lyed on the bed, coaxing the child, He Shen went in and laughed at her: "Such a small child can't talk, what are you thinking?"
Feng Shuangzhi didn't expect him to come back so early today, so he picked up the dumpling and walked to him, "Our dumpling must be smarter than other children..."
Feng Shuangzhi said something with a smile, which only made He Shen feel that she had a thick skin.
He Shen stretched out his hand to hug the dumpling, but the dumpling rolled his dark eyes, as if he didn't notice He Shen, but turned around to grab the hairpin on Feng Shuangzhi's head, his face was pink, and he ignored it at all He Shen's outstretched hand.
Feng Shuangzhi laughed loudly, and kissed him, "Tuanzi is so good. If you love Erniang and don't love Ama, be good..."
He is not good at all.
He Shen really felt that after having a child, he had fallen out of favor.
He patted his forehead and said: "If there is a cruel and heartless mother, there must be a cruel and heartless son. This is the end for Shen and I... Not only are we rejected by our wife, but also by our son. Old age has something to support? Alas, alas..."
This person is not a typical person, and he likes to say unreliable things when he is excited.
Feng Shuangzhi gave him a blank look, and continued to coax Tuanzi to speak.
It's just that what can a child of more than one month say?
No matter how Feng Shuangzhi tried to lure him, Tuanzi opened his mouth at most, but there was only that childish babbling sound—if this child knew that his mother always thought he would be a genius when he was young, I don't know if he would be. Depressed to vomit blood?
She kept talking to Tuanzi, and completely ignored He Shen, who could only sit down, so she saw the roster of the gift list that Feng Shuangzhi had opened...
An Ming's name.
He asked her, "Why did you suddenly turn this thing out?"
Feng Shuangzhi didn't turn his head back and said: "Seeing you frowning at the gift list that day, I was a little curious about what you were thinking about frowning, but now I know."
The dumpling in her arms suddenly opened its mouth wide, Feng Shuangzhi was a little surprised, thinking that he was going to say something, but the child...just grew his mouth, yawned, and closed his eyes, He didn't give himself such a mother face at all.
Feng Shuangzhi, who was full of expectations, was suddenly a little embarrassed.
Heshen saw all this, walked over and hugged the dumpling, and scolded: "You dare to sleep in the arms of a beauty, you are so brave, I will let you go to sleep, Ama. Sister Xida, Come and take the son down to sleep."
"Yes." Mammy stepped forward and took the dumpling.
Feng Shuangzhi pursed his lips depressedly, and said, "This kid doesn't know people at all."
He Shen laughed at her: "How old are you, do you care about a child? When it comes to children, you seem to be as old as a child..."
In fact, it's all because it's the first time to be a mother, so many times I don't grasp the middle scale well, sometimes it seems a little doting, and sometimes it seems a little harsh.
Sometimes Feng Shuangzhi couldn't understand herself, as long as she thought about the future of this child, she couldn't stop worrying and wanted to treat him better.
Most of the panic can only be buried in my heart and cannot be told to others. At this time, I have to tell myself that everything will be fine.
In fact, sometimes, Feng Shuangzhi is not as cold and hard as he appears...
Maybe it was her silence that also ignited the panic in his heart. He frowned, seeing her panicked expression, he went up and pulled her arm: "What's wrong?"
Feng Shuangzhi came back to his senses, smiled, and asked about An Ming in a disguised manner: "I was just wondering who the hell is An Ming? It's just a child's full moon wine, why did he send so many things? "
They are also extremely valuable.
The full moon wine is fine, if you give something special on other occasions, it will be difficult.
Sensing Feng Shuangzhi's worry, He Shen pulled her to sit down, and seeing that it was getting late, he asked the people below to prepare meals, "These things are unavoidable in the officialdom. After all, it's the full moon wine, and he sent things openly. , we are not easy to push away."
"Then what if he bribes you in private?" Feng Shuangzhi asked again.
He Shen smiled: "That depends on what's going on."
Feng Shuangzhi controlled the pace of the matter and didn't ask any further questions.
He Shen suddenly thought of something at this time, "In the afternoon, Lord Long Live summoned us to enter the palace and said that the treasury was empty, but when talking about taxes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he praised our Mr. Zheng, I always feel that Mr. Zheng is probably coming back."
It has been several years since Zheng Shifang was transferred to Jiangnan. He is a person with big ambitions. Before that, it was just because he had no room to display his talents. Now that he has such a platform, he seized the opportunity to climb up—it is conceivable that he will He and Shen are, without accident, the most popular figures in the imperial court.
"This year's spring is about to start, and another group of people will come up at that time." He Shen laughed, "I think Mr. Zheng may become the academic administration on the Jiangsu and Zhejiang side, in charge of scientific examinations."
Speaking of Chunwei, Feng Shuangzhi thought of someone.
She didn't say a word to He Shen, she just said, "They're making vegetables, let's go there."
He Shen nodded, and had dinner with Feng Shuangzhi, during which time they talked about the matter between Fan Yiheng and Xitao, and then they talked about the matter of adding a maid to the mansion.
"Let's leave this matter to Liu Quan'er." Feng Shuangzhi pondered for a moment, "Things in the mansion started to increase, and things with Lin haven't been settled yet, but now the road is wide open. I'll go tomorrow Pick some gifts and give them to Xizhu."
He Shen knew that she and Xizhu were close, so he only said one word to be careful.
They slept together at night, and Feng Shuangzhi's health was almost healed. He might have to have sex with Heshen. He was so exhausted that he couldn't get up early the next morning, so he was lazy until noon. After dressing up, I took my maidservant and a few servants to go out.
Xizhu likes some treasures of literature and ink, so she goes out to help choose.
The four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as calligraphy and painting scrolls.
Feng Shuangzhi thought about it, stood in front of the counter, looked at these paintings, and was a little uncertain.
"Is there nothing more suitable?"
What she wants is the kind of literati paintings that are more suitable for Xizhu. Some of the paintings in this shop seem to be relatively wealthy, suitable for hanging in the homes of high officials, but there seems to be none for women.
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, "A few days ago, there were some, but the young master who painted for the small shop recently is a talented man who is more popular. As soon as his paintings came out, all the girls snatched them away. This is really unreasonable." Keep a few."
Feng Shuangzhi actually laughed, "Where did such a charismatic talent come from that he even sells his paintings so well? I think he must be a flirtatious talent?"
She was just joking, but she didn't expect the shopkeeper to say with a serious face: "Ma'am, you can't say that, that young master has a good character, how many girls fall in love with him, he is really the same as Liu Xiahui."
The shopkeeper is quite serious, Feng Shuangzhi didn't care, just said: "There is no one here, so I have to change to another place."
Feng Shuangzhi brought a lot of people with her when she came out today. Anyone who saw her would know that she was not an ordinary customer. , we will be able to send you a painting that satisfies you right away, and you will never be disappointed."
She was interested for a while, "The shopkeeper's words are not afraid of flashing his tongue, but I have high vision. Where can I be satisfied with the paintings that are delivered directly?"
This store was just wandering around, there was no plan at all, but now that the shopkeeper has actually given this guarantee, she can only stay and take a look.
The shopkeeper simply asked Feng Shuangzhi to sit down, and brought out other treasures in the store to show Feng Shuangzhi.
It's fine for Feng Shuangzhi to just sit and look around, but only after looking at it did he realize that this store has a very deep heritage and there are quite a lot of treasures out there.
Feng Shuangzhi liked a pair of jade bis, but it was useless to buy them back, so he just held them in his hands for a while, and chatted with the shopkeeper for a while.
The shopkeeper inadvertently mentioned: "The one who painted for me in this shop is a geek. He hasn't taken the imperial examination for many years after the provincial examination, but it seems that he will go this year. My shop will soon become the number one scholar." store."
The shopkeeper was a bit fat, but he spoke with an indescribable complacency at the moment, as if he had fallen in love with Bole, who had fallen in love with Maxima.
Feng Shuangzhi recalled what happened during Heshen's imperial examination. At the beginning, she still thought that Heshen would definitely be the number one scholar in the examination, but the result surprised her. "Shopkeeper, you don't know, the puddle of water here is deep, it doesn't take talent to win the first prize."
The shopkeeper seemed to have heard this too, so he said with a smile: "Ma'am, what you said is true. I heard that the current servant of the household department was also talented at the beginning, but he failed in the exam... I just hope that I will be in love with you." It’s good that nothing happens to this one.”
"You really have great expectations for him." Feng Shuangzhi hadn't seen someone like the boss for a long time, and he even said a lot to him for a while.
The shopkeeper here doesn't have much business at this time, seeing that Feng Shuangzhi seems to be determined to wait for the calligraphy and painting, so he made a pot of good tea for Feng Shuangzhi, "Looking at Madam, she doesn't seem to be in a hurry, why don't you drink a cup of tea. Cup of tea, let's do a long-term business."
The shopkeeper had a good plan.
However, Feng Shuangzhi likes such a frank statement. After getting married, there will be nothing to do. It seems good to sit here drinking tea and spend the afternoon.
Originally, she was still thinking of visiting the playground, but now chatting with the shopkeeper seems to be good.
The shopkeeper has traveled all over the world, has seen many things, and is quite insightful when he speaks.
Feng Shuangzhi talked with him for a while, and suddenly remembered something, and asked the boss's ancestral home, it turned out to be from Jiangnan.
At this time, Liu Quan'er suddenly said from behind: "Why do I listen, I think you, the shopkeeper, have a Wuyue accent?"
The shopkeeper said "Yo", as if he didn't expect to be heard by others. He is a little fat and has a double chin, but his eyes are very gentle, unlike those businessmen outside, who are very philistine.
"I am indeed from the south of the Yangtze River, but I am from Yangzhou. I have been in the capital for a long time. I thought this accent was an authentic Beijing movie, but it was recognized by your powerful servant."
Feng Shuangzhi still believed in Liu Quan'er's ability, so he laughed at this moment: "Liu Quan'er, you have really good ears. But shopkeeper, you can recognize my voice, which also has a bit of Wu Yue's accent."
"Haha..." The shopkeeper smiled, "I've heard it a long time ago, but it's not very serious. Madam, you have been to Jiangnan and lived for a while, right? You can still hear the authentic capital of the original with this accent." Accent. It is precisely because I can hear it that I am willing to talk to Madam about these few words."
These words were a bit arrogant, maybe the shopkeeper himself didn't realize how sensitive Feng Shuangzhi was?Just listening to his last sentence, I understood everything. Although this man is a businessman, he doesn't look very old-fashioned. He even has a refined demeanor. He must be a Confucian businessman who has studied.
She suddenly felt that this identity setting was very suitable for a person...
"After talking for a long time, you haven't asked the shopkeeper's name yet?"
The shopkeeper didn't mind at all, and said casually, "Mian your surname is Wang."
"Wang Rulong..." Feng Shuangzhi suddenly called out the name.
Wang Rulong was surprised, "How does Madam know?"
Feng Shuangzhi was just guessing, and it came true before he thought about it.
She really felt that there were some things she couldn't escape...
"When I was in Jiangning before, I heard about several major salt merchants in Yangzhou. Shopkeeper Wang is one of them that I have to mention. I just heard you talking like people from there, so I thought about it for a while. I asked your surname, and I guessed what you said casually." Feng Shuangzhi only thought that the road was narrow.
I have indeed heard of Wang Rulong's name before, this person is very famous, especially in the Jiangnan area.
All the salt merchants over there are rich, even said to be the world's richest, and they are indescribably capable.
Now that he unexpectedly met Wang Rulong in the capital, Feng Shuangzhi would say that he was lucky.
——No, it’s just bad luck.
He Shen will become Wang Rulong's nobleman, and this person will also become He Shen's helper.Feng Shuangzhi felt that he hadn't come in vain.
Wang Rulong really didn't expect such a coincidence to happen, he sighed for a while, remembering the glory of the past and the predicament of today, he sighed again and again: "I, Wang Rulong, have already come to the capital, but the things in Yangzhou are not good. , you don’t know... Our business over there has always been linked to the Cao Gang. If the inspector of salt and censors don’t give us Yan Yin, we can’t do anything. There were some ways to think about it before, but since Then when Li Shiyao and others went to the south of the Yangtze River, everything went wrong...the Cao Gang was in chaos, and even official salt and private salt couldn't get through..."
In other words, Wang Rulong actually came here...
Looking at Feng Shuangzhi's expression, Wang Rulong knew that she had guessed it, and continued to sigh: "I'm afraid Ma'am has already guessed it. I came to the capital to find a way out, but there are not many things going on in this store right now. Come and cook while waiting for news..."
I'm afraid there are not many opportunities to wait.
The high-ranking officials in the capital, who were tipped off by somewhere, don't want to see Wang Rulong, right?
In the past, Feng Shuangzhi had heard a lot about these rich salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. He also knew that there were several big salt merchants in Yangzhou, and Wang Rulong was one of them. They were doing well, but Wang Rulong alone had an accident, maybe something happened to the salt merchants in Yangzhou.
Just now Wang Rulong mentioned Li Shiyao's name, which made Feng Shuangzhi pay attention.
She can't say anything now, let alone her identity.
However, she has already begun to doubt that there is such a coincidence that she can meet Wang Rulong just by looking for a shop at random. If the coincidence is too much, it becomes a kind of calculation.
She smiled: "Boss Wang has great powers, so he must be able to solve it."
Only Wang Rulong knows whether it is a coincidence that he appears here. He actually knows Feng Shuangzhi's identity. The high-ranking officials in the capital can't curry favor with him. , it may not be useful in the future.
In the future, Wang Rulong will be extremely grateful and regretful about his decision to contact Feng Shuangzhi today, but the current Wang Rulong still doesn't know about it.
"I just hope that I can find someone in the capital to make it easier, otherwise the foundation in Yangzhou will have to be abolished... The Nine Provinces Water Transport has changed its head, it is a hard stubble, and I am going to talk to Li Shiyao and others If we don't dare to participate, we can only suffer a dark loss?" Wang Rulong doesn't mind revealing some information, although these are confidential, but they are secret weapons to gain people's favor.
Sure enough, Feng Shuangzhi became interested as soon as she heard it, and Wang Rulong wanted to flatter her, so she directly gave her a ladder and asked, "I remember the Nine Provinces Water Transport... Isn't Zhang Gaoyuan the section of Gaoyou in Yangzhou? He didn't Can you become the boss?"
The general manager is talking about the highest family member, but it is actually a slang word.
The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through the north and the south, and connects several major water systems. It flows through several provinces, so it is called "Nine Provinces Water Transport". The water transport is busy and there are many ships on the water. Gradually, water thieves come to intercept ships on the river goods.In order to expand the business and resist Jiang Pirates, some boatmen and helmsmen gradually agreed to go together, and then the Cao Gang was born.
The current Cao Gang controls many boats on the river, and controls the people who go on the boats. Ships going south and north must listen to the Cao Gang.
They mainly transported tea and private salt between Beijing and Hangzhou, and also helped some merchants to bring some other things.
Nine Provinces Water Transport, there are Nine Provinces Water Gang, each province has its own power, so each province’s Water Gang has a scoop handle, and the chief manager of the Nine Provinces Water Gang is the chief scoop handle , it can be said that it controls the entire water transportation.
It seems that the matter of Wang Rulong is caused by the Cao Gang.
Feng Shuangzhi still has a good understanding of the situation here, and Jiangnan has not been in vain for a few years.
But the bitterness on Wang Rulong's face turned up: "You don't know, it would be great if Zhang Gaoyuan was still there. That Gaoyuan was originally a powerful person, but his original second position suddenly jumped up. On that day, the gathering of the crowd actually forced Zhang Gaoyuan to retreat. The affairs of the Jiangshang Cao Gang have always caused countless deaths and injuries. You should have heard of the struggle between their Cao Gang. It is no more brutal than our Salt Gang. The entire river has become popular. The new head of the Cao Gang is called Lian Shuangcheng. He is a ruthless character. All the previous relationships are useless. Yan Yin from Xunyan Yushi's side can't get off, and the business on the river is not easy to do. , all at once... oh..."
Wang Rulong couldn't help sighing when he talked about the things about the Cao Gang and the Salt Gang.
Feng Shuangzhi had heard about the situation there for a long time, but now that he heard Wang Rulong's words, he didn't know what to say. At this moment, the person Wang Rulong was waiting for also came.
This person is really the person Feng Shuangzhi thought of.
All along the Qing Dynasty, there were not many people who passed the exam and did not participate in Chunwei, let alone talented people?
When he saw Wang Jie appearing outside the door, Feng Shuangzhi knew that the time was completely ripe.
Now that Wang Jie is back, many stories seem to be able to unfold.
The green shirt Wang Jie wore was as unruly as ever, and he even had a smile on his face when he came in from the outside.
In today's past, the bookishness when he met Feng Shuangzhi that day has faded away, and he has become a little more calm and indifferent after vicissitudes.He didn't seem to expect that when he entered the door, he saw Feng Shuangzhi sitting on the side drinking tea.
Wang Rulong is also a Confucian businessman. He has read many sage books, and he likes to associate with people like Wang Jie the most. This can be regarded as a kind of political investment.He hasn't discovered the acquaintance between Feng Shuangzhi and Wang Jie for the time being, so he walked up and patted Wang Jie on the shoulder, "Little brother, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Here is a The lady is waiting for the literati to come, and you have solved the urgent need."
Who knew that Wang Jie followed his gaze to look at Feng Shuangzhi. Feng Shuangzhi sat at the round table with a glass of Biluochun in his hand, and looked at him quietly.
Some scenes from the past were lightly flashed across Wang Jie's eyes like this.Thinking of those unbearable memories back then, he even laughed, looked at Feng Shuangzhi and said, "If this madam likes literati paintings, why don't you paint by yourself? Presumably, Madam He's skills are always better than those of Mr. Wang." awesome."
Wang Rulong was startled, thinking that Wang Jie took the wrong medicine today, why is it so sharp like a needle?He was afraid that he would offend He Shen and his wife, so he hurriedly turned his head, but he saw Feng Shuangzhi's expression of indifference, as if he had known Wang Jie's virtue for a long time.At this moment, Wang Rulong's heart became subtle, and he didn't dare to speak for the time being.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't expect that after all these years, Wang Jie still had this kind of virtue. "I didn't know I had such a reputation..."
These words were just casual perfunctory, how could Wang Jie say in a serious manner: "Back then, my wife's name was spread throughout Jiangnan, and countless scholars were fascinated by it... It's a pity..."
Feng Shuangzhi didn't like other people's words with some twists and turns, so he frowned at this moment and looked at him.
Under Wang Rulong's trembling eyes, Wang Jie actually said: "It's a pity...it doesn't include mere things."
Liu Quan'er and the others just listened in a daze. They didn't know what kind of grievances this scholar had with his wife. How could such words hurt others?
Wang Rulong was terrified, this Wang Jie used to be considered humble when speaking, why today...
Feng Shuangzhi wasn't surprised at all. She laughed: "Wang Jie, why do you hurt me by talking? It's just that after seeing me, you recall those unbearable memories from the past."
Wang Jie lowered his head, with a smile on his handsome face, but the words he said were cold: "Ma'am, you are joking, how dare a person like Wang Jie challenge your second-rank wife?"
Feng Shuangzhi was about to be laughed at by him, and immediately stood up, "I'm just here to buy paintings, you don't need to say so much, I just hope that you will have a good performance in Chunwei this year and make others look at you with admiration."
The main reason is to make some people hate their blindness.
Wang Jie raised his head and stared at Feng Shuangzhi, feeling that she hadn't seen her for a long time, and when he saw her again today, she was already very rich.
Many moods are changing.
He will always remember the words that this woman said that day, the difference between saving a person and saving a group of people.
Those who are officials have the heart of helping the world.
"Since Madam has high hopes for Wang Jie, Wang Jie will naturally not let her down."
In fact, there is still hatred after all...
If you don't hate, how is it possible?Being tricked by the woman he loves so much, Wang Jie is not a stupid person. He didn't understand it at the time, but can he still not understand it afterwards?
This man, who came back with hatred, is probably Chen Xijia...
