Number of romantic figures

Chapter 42 The A Word Scroll

"My junior pays homage to Mr. Qiao." Seeing a man in a blue casual robe come in, Feng Ziying knew that this was Qiao Yingjia, and hurriedly bowed to salute.

"Nephew, don't be too polite, sit down." Qiao Yingjia was also looking at Feng Ziying.

He felt that he was joking when he said that the other party was twelve or thirteen years old. Although his face was immature, his eyes were so steady. A boy of twelve or thirteen years old might not have such a bearing, maybe it was this boy. The face is tender.

"I haven't seen Ling Yue for several years, how are you doing?" Qiao Yingjia asked with a smile.

"My father-in-law is in good condition, but his mother-in-law has passed away." Feng Ziying pretended to be sad, and sighed softly.

After Qiao Yingjia was startled, he could only comfort him, and then said: "Since my nephew is studying in the Imperial College, why did you come to Shandong? I remember that the current Imperial College sacrificed wine to Zhou Gong, right? He is stern and selfless, how can you get out of prison so easily?"

Feng Ziying hurriedly got up and gave another salute, "Reporting to Duke Ming, an elder in the family passed away, and my father couldn't afford it, so he sent me back to Linqing to express his condolences on his behalf, but I never thought that the civil riots in Linqing yesterday, and the Bailian sect bandits were also involved ,..."

Qiao Yingjia was slightly startled.

He already knew about the riots in Linqing, and it is estimated that Li Sancai will discuss this matter at noon. There are three grain warehouses in the inner city of Linqing, which is of great importance, but the rioters only robbed the outer city and did not attack the inner city. All the troops from the Dongchang Mansion Guards went south to Yanzhou to suppress the bandits, so the situation was quite unfavorable.

"Nephew, are you from Linqing City?"

"Yes." Now that he started, Feng Ziying seized the opportunity to tell the whole situation in one go, "My father and Jiayue already intend to make an appointment for marriage, but because of their age, they have not yet engaged. The boy acted rashly earlier, please clarify Forgiveness."

Qiao Yingjia didn't expect this kid to be so daring and dare to use Lin Ruhai's reputation as the only daughter to lie.

If this word gets out, Lin's reputation will be damaged. I'm afraid that this kid and his father will be involved, and even he will bear some infamy.

As for the fact that a military general after martial arts is not in the eyes of a civil official like him, although he is annoyed in his heart, but considering the other party's painstaking efforts, if he hadn't used Lin Ruhai's signboard, he might not have seen him at all.

"Hmph, but you are so bold. Even if you have some difficulties, how can you do such a thing that destroys people's reputation?"

Seeing that Qiao Yingjia had no intention of expelling herself despite her stern voice, Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief.

This hurdle has finally passed. Lin Daiyu, as Lin Ruhai's first daughter, is now being promoted by herself. Qiao Yingjia may really need to weigh it carefully.

However, Qiao Yingjia still wondered how Lin Ruhai would agree to marry the Feng family after such martial arts?

From the point of view of scholars, it is undoubtedly a self-declining status, but after thinking that Lin Ruhai's Yue family Jia's family is also Wu Xun, Qiao Yingjia is relieved.

The Jia family is probably also family friends with the Feng family. If there is such a relationship, it is barely acceptable, but the daughter of the Lin family has been wronged.

"Nephew Feng Xian, you said that the bandit of the White Lotus Sect and the city's rascal bandits are entangled to create chaos, why is Miss Lin's family in Feng's mansion again?" Without asking these questions clearly, Qiao Yingjia will not make a judgment lightly.

What Feng Ziying was most afraid of was that the other party didn't bother to ask anything. As long as she asked, it showed that the other party was seriously considering this issue, and it also meant that the other party still attached great importance to Lin Ruhai's relationship or line.

He briefly introduced the situation again, nine truths and one falsehood, "Who would have thought that it would be such a coincidence that they were going to Beijing to visit his uncle's house, and they were going to visit Linqing by the way, and they happened to meet this person when they visited my house for a ceremony? kind of thing..."

Everything is true, except that he caught up with him by such a coincidence, and he was blinded by a single shot.

Qiao Yingjia also knew about the relationship between Lin Ruhai and the Jia family.

The Jia family has one family and two males, which can be regarded as the leader in martial arts, and the Jia family also has a Jinshi. Jia Jing, the son of Ning Guogong, is one class earlier than Qiao Yingjia. Yuanxi 23 years Jinshi, but this Jia Jing is good Dan Dao, who actually resigned from his official position and went to a Taoist temple to practice, has puzzled many people.

"At present, bandits are becoming more and more powerful in Linqing City. I am afraid that Duke Ming is aware of them. The people in the palace are demanding too much, and the people are suffering. This is probably the reason why the bandits took advantage of the situation. If the bandits are allowed to grow, the previous Maybe they are still afraid of the guards, but if they see the truth, the inner city of Linqing will be destroyed, and if the third storehouse is destroyed, it will be..."

Feng Ziying didn't say any more.

Qiao Yingjia snorted lightly.

Of course he knew about the fact that the palace tax supervisor set up a card in Linqing to extort merchants, but the Holy Majesty's move was not completely selfish. It's a secret.

If they continue to owe wages like this, I am afraid that the frontier army will change.

Although Qiao Yingjia has been away all the time, she is still well aware of these situations. The court has been arguing endlessly over this matter, but when it comes to the past of the Supreme Emperor, who dares to be serious and insist on tossing the bottom of the sky?I'm afraid that if the Holy Majesty's face is not easy to say, it will provoke the wrath of the Taishang Emperor.

"Nephew Feng Xian, I understand what you mean. It's just that Li Cao is in charge of the water affairs. It's hard for others to say anything. Although I am responsible for inspecting the water affairs, I can't do it for me..." Qiao Yingjia cleared Clear your throat.

"What Duke Ming said is true, but the matter of suppressing bandits and quelling chaos is of great importance, and it has something to do with people from the palace. The younger generation is worried..." Feng Ziying did not continue.

"Hmph, not necessarily." Qiao Yingjia's face was serious, "The water affairs are related to the capital's plan, and Caotai has its own plan."

"Yes, yes." Feng Ziying was overjoyed.

Seeing Qiao Yingjia raised her hand to pick up the tea bowl, Feng Ziying knew that she was about to see off the guests, so she got up quickly.

Coming out of Qiao's residence, Feng Ziying felt that the clothes on her back were drenched with sweat. Up to now, he still didn't really have a firm grip on Qiao Yingjia's mind. He could only say that he guessed something about the other party's intentions, but that was enough.

"This one is Mr. Feng?" Outside Qiyun Zhai, Feng Ziying saw the excited and proud Zuo Liangyu, and knew that Zuo Liangyu had done a good job on this errand. Seeing that he also won some recognition from the other party, he just had such an expression.

This trip is indeed Feng Ziying's intention to train Zuo Liangyu and get in touch with the people at the Shanshan Guild Hall. Even if it really goes wrong, it doesn't matter too much. If it's a big deal, I'll just ask Chen Jingxuan to come forward. I believe it's settled. After Qiao Yingjia's side, Chen Jingxuan also had to weigh whether there were other factors behind him.

But now it seems that it is unnecessary, Wang Shaoquan did not lie to himself, he still has some right to speak in the Shanshan Guild Hall.

This good relationship seems to be really coming to an end.

"Exactly." Feng Ziying was not polite. The person who came to the guild hall was naturally a representative of Shanshan merchants. At worst, my father would just take care of him in Datong Town in the future. Now that I have to tide over the difficulties, I don't have so much energy to waste time .

"Mr. Feng, if you need anything, just distribute it." The visitor was also quite knowledgeable, and went straight to the point without talking nonsense, "If you need antiques that can be sold, this Qiyunzhai is the leader in Dongchang Mansion."

"Well, I need an ancient inkstone, please ask your lord to choose it for me." Feng Zi's English is gentle, but the meaning revealed in his words is unquestionable, "It is best to make it by famous Tang and Song Dynasties, regardless of the amount of money .”

The visitor also took a deep breath. There were quite a few famous inkstone makers in this dynasty, and there were also in the Ming Dynasty, but it is really rare to be called a famous inkstone maker in Tang and Song Dynasties. Small, but it may not be possible to find suitable objects.

This one came with Wang Shaoquan's famous stabbing, calling out important people to accompany him on errands. Before that, his family didn't care much about it. It's not a problem.

But after hearing some news later, he realized that it was no small matter, so he came here in person.

"Mr. Feng, Qi Yunzhai may not have the famous inkstones of the Tang and Song Dynasties for a while. If it is in this dynasty..." Feng Ziying interrupted the visitor before he could speak: "You must know why I am here. If it is an ordinary thing, I don't have to ask for it." You Shanshan Guild Hall."

Seeing that Feng Ziying was so resolute, the visitor kept silent and led Feng Ziying inside.

Fortunately, this Qiyunzhai can be regarded as the number one antique shop in Dongchang Mansion, and they also found a Chengni inkstone made by Lu Taoist in the Northern Song Dynasty.

300 taels of silver is the same price, even though Feng Ziying was already mentally prepared to be chopped off, she was still speechless.

For the sake of the face of the visitors from the Shanshan Guild Hall, a discount was given, and the sale was almost at the purchase price plus a little commission, otherwise it would be a sky-high price of 500 taels of silver.

However, when he arrived at the Governor's Yamen, he was turned away. No matter how thick his words were, the concierge refused indifferently.

The people waiting in line to see Mr. Cao are like crucian carp crossing the river. How can they be noticed just because you are a little Guozijian Gongsheng?

Both the red envelope and the name card were accepted, but they didn't give a letter of approval at all. Knowing that there was nothing to do, Feng Ziying left decisively and went straight to the Shanshan Guild Hall.
