The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

Zheng Yi went to Beijing this time because he wanted to use cards to please the empress dowager in the palace.

But on this matter, he was not absolutely sure.

If the Queen Mother doesn't like it, they will be self-defeating, and the many cards that have been made in advance will be useless.

Because of this reason, Zheng Yi has been under a lot of pressure before.

And now, it's finally done.

As soon as Zheng Yi entered Beijing, he told Mr. Zheng Er about the playing cards, but Mr. Zheng did not have the opportunity to present them in the first few days. He was not free until the Queen Mother approached him to discuss the matter of the Imperial Merchant a few days ago. I mentioned it to the queen mother, saying that he got something very interesting in Jiangnan.

The Empress Dowager didn't say anything at that time, and only yesterday did she send someone to bring Mrs. Zheng into the palace, saying that Princess Ziyi was a little bored recently, and asked Mrs. Zheng to bring some interesting things to accompany her.

This Princess Ziyi is the younger sister of the late emperor. Because of the great age difference between her and the late emperor, the queen mother almost watched her grow up. Now, she has reached the age where she can choose a son-in-law, and she is even about to start choosing a son-in-law, so she is a little restless .

The queen mother can understand her, so she can get some fun things for her to play with. After Mrs. Zheng Er entered the palace, she played cards with Princess Ziyi.

Princess Ziyi can play with many things in the palace, but there will always be a day when she will get tired of building block dolls, such as Jiulianhuan, ordinary people can't play much fun after all.

This Princess Ziyi has average talent and doesn't like reading much, let alone playing Jiulianhuan. In the past, it was boring. She can only do needlework, but now...

Modern people hold mobile phones and computers that can know the world's affairs, and many people also use it to play cards with others, which shows the charm of cards, let alone people these days.

Not to mention mobile phones and computers nowadays, it’s just that there are only a few back and forth when listening to dramas, there is too little entertainment...

Princess Ziyi was unsurprisingly fascinated by playing cards, she didn't even want to eat even today.

The Empress Dowager became interested when she heard about this, so she came to have a look in person, and then she saw the exquisite playing cards with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum paintings, and the quite interesting playing methods.

Jiang Zhen provided several ways to play cards, and Zheng Yi gave each of those different ways to have elegant names.

For example, in the game of Fighting Landlords, he checked many allusions in the end, and finally gave him an elegant name.

The first thing the Empress Dowager and Princess Ziyi learned was fighting the landlord, and they both had such a good time that Mrs. Zheng was unable to leave the palace last night, and was able to stay overnight in the palace.

Mrs. Zheng Er came back this morning. As soon as she came back, she told Mr. Zheng Er and Zheng Yi that the Queen Mother liked playing cards very much, and praised the dexterity of the people who made them.

This card undoubtedly won the Queen Mother's favor.

As a result, Zheng Yi is naturally in a very good mood at the moment.

However, to ask Jiang Zhen to wait for Jiang Zhen to come over and explain some precautions, and to prepare two sets of clothes for Jiang Zhen and Brother Zhao Jing, he had already ordered it yesterday.

The clothes of Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge were sent by the servants very quickly. They were not gorgeous, but they were made of excellent fabrics and fit them very well.

After Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge changed their clothes, Zheng Yi explained some things.

Since all the businessmen were invited this time, there were not many things to pay attention to. After Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge wrote down one by one, someone came to tell them that basically all the businessmen had come.

"We'll go there too." Zheng Yi said, leading Jiang Zhen to the courtyard where the merchants were.

None of these businessmen knew Jiang Zhen, but most of them knew Zheng Yi.

The Zheng family has been doing business between the capital and the south of the Yangtze River many years ago. After Mr. Zheng Er was admitted to Jinshi and had a successful official career, the business became bigger and bigger...

Seeing Zheng Yi, these people stepped forward to speak one after another, and waited for their eyes to fall on Jiang Zhen who was beside Zheng Yi.

This Jiang Zhen and Zheng Yi seem to have a very good relationship, could it be...he is a big businessman from Jiangnan?

This time, there are not many imperial merchants that the Ministry of Households is looking for, and suddenly another competitor appears...

These people were all a little worried, but when they faced Jiang Zhen, they all smiled at the same time. Even Feng Jingyuan, no matter how complicated the emotions in his heart, was smiling all over his face at this time.

There was also a faint smile on Jiang Zhen's face all the time. He smiled and talked to the people present, and his official speech was very smooth and pure.

His previous attire made it easy for people to notice the differences between him and the pampered person, but now, seeing his extraordinary demeanor, everyone began to speculate about his origin.

As for his skin, it looks weather-beaten... There are many sea chambers of commerce in the south of the Yangtze River who go to sea to do business, and all of them are weather-beaten.

This person... Could it be a sea merchant?

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and there were various speculations about Jiang Zhen. When Jiang Zhen communicated with these people, he kept paying attention to Zhao Jinge.

He didn't quite get used to such a scene, and he was worried that brother Zhao Jin would not be able to handle it.

Brother Zhao Jin really couldn't handle it. After coming here, he felt at a loss and didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

But thinking about not embarrassing Jiang Zhen, he still stood up straight, chest out and abdomen in.

Thanks to Jiang Zhen who had been training him before and allowed him to stand in a military posture, he was also tall and straight in this way, so imposing that no one dared to despise him.

Jiang Zhen immediately felt relieved.

Zheng Yi looked at Brother Zhao Jin in surprise, this Brother Zhao Jin, like Jiang Zhen, was somewhat different.

He was still in such a place, this brother Zhao Jin had to be ashamed, and he even told his servants to watch over him, but in the end... Brother Zhao Jin performed very well.

After Zheng Yi found out that Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge didn't need his help, he completely relaxed and went to do his own thing.

And after Jiang Zhen had a chat with someone, he took Zhao Jingge to the corner - he didn't intend to compete for the position of the Imperial Merchant, so why bother to socialize with others all the time?

It's better to take Zhao Jingge to the pavilion next to him to eat some fruit.

Hexi Village is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are quite a lot of fruits that can be seen, such as peaches, apricots, loquats, and persimmons. People in the village grow them, but there are also many fruits that Zhao Jinge has never seen before.

He has never even seen oranges and apples... After all, no one in Hecheng County grows them.

After Jiang Zhen took him to the gazebo, he looked curiously at the various fruits on the table.

"Taste." Jiang Zhen took an orange, peeled it and gave it to him.

"Can this be eaten?" Brother Zhao Jin was a little worried.

"Put it here, isn't it just for people to eat?" Jiang Zhen laughed.

Hearing what Jiang Zhen said, Brother Zhao Jin just ate a piece of orange.

The orange is a bit sour, but it suits his current taste... Brother Zhao Jin's eyes lit up.

"Master Jiang." At this moment, Shen Anxin also came over, he smiled at Jiang Zhen, and began to thank: "Master Jiang, thank you before, if it weren't for you, my reputation..."

What Feng Chenglin said in public, although it has an influence on Jiang Zhen as a man, it is not big after all, but it will definitely make him unable to see people in the future.

"You're welcome, he was talking about me." Jiang Zhen said.

"Thank you, if it wasn't for Mr. Jiang, I would have been miserable." Shen Anxin said again, his eyes fell on Jiang Zhen, and there was more affection in it.

Looking at Shen Anxin like this, Brother Zhao Jin suddenly felt that the orange in his mouth was a little too sour, and it didn't taste good at all.

At the same time, he also felt a wave of panic.

Shen Anxin is really much better than him. Compared with He Qiusheng, he can work and earn money, but compared with Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi, he is clean.

What about Shen Anxin?Shen Anxin is rich, knowledgeable, and looks better than him...

"He won't do anything in public," Jiang Zhen said.

"But that would also make me ashamed to see people." Shen Anxin looked at Jiang Zhen, blushed and lowered his head.

"Since you want to be a man, don't be so coy." Jiang Zhen reminded Shen Anxin when he saw Shen Anxin like this.

Although this Shen Anxin doesn't have a feminine appearance, but his personality is really sticky, and he is different from Brother Zhao Jin.

When Zhao Jingge was divorced, he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he was not as tall as he is now. Zhao Fugui took him out to work for others, and he rolled up his trousers and clothes without hesitation and went to the paddy field to plant rice...

At that time, there were idlers in the village who molested him, and boys of the same age said that he would definitely not be able to marry after showing his body, so why didn't he still work?

Brother Zhao Jin has always felt that he should marry, and he persisted even when he was in trouble. This Shen Anxin...can't he be tougher?

After being told, he can't scold him back?

He is so weak, he only feels sorry for himself, and he cares about his reputation... No wonder the Feng family doesn't take him seriously and covets his property.

In fact, if he is tolerant, no one will dare to bully him even if he is a woman, let alone a twin.

Jiang Zhen also knew that Shen Anxin's personality was such that he couldn't change it, but he kindly reminded him.

Shen An said, his eyes were red.If only he were a man, but he's not, he's a twin.He could work hard to be a man before, but now he hopes to become a beloved twin: "I know...I will change..."

"Brother Jin, do you want to go over there to see the fish?" Seeing him like this, Jiang Zhen didn't know what to say to him, so he wanted to leave quickly.

Brother Zhao Jin nodded hastily, he wished to take Jiang Zhen away from Shen Anxin.

Jiang Zhen smiled, and was about to take Zhao Jingge to the pond, but at this time, Shen Anxin stepped forward a few steps, and was about to pull Jiang Zhen's clothes: "Master Jiang, wait."

Jiang Zhen avoided Shen Anxin subconsciously, and frowned: "Master Shen, don't do such misleading actions in the future, my wife will be unhappy."

Shen Anxin's action...

With this Shen Anxin again, others will probably think that there is something wrong with him and Shen Anxin!

Brother Zhao Jin should also be jealous, maybe he won't let him go to bed... Thinking of this, Jiang Zhen immediately looked at Brother Zhao Jin.

At this moment, Brother Zhao Jin felt that the orange in his mouth was too sweet.

He was very happy when he heard Jiang Zhen's words.

As for Jiang Zhen's worries...he was too worried.Brother Zhao Jin was thinking at the moment that he must serve Jiang Zhen well, so that Jiang Zhen would not have the energy to find someone else.

Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge happily went to watch the fish, while Shen Anxin stood where he was, feeling a little gloomy.

Feng Chenglin swears at him before, and when Jiang Zhen stood up to deal with Wu Chenglin, his heart couldn't help beating violently.

He knew that he liked Jiang Zhen.

Although it was impossible for them, it would be good to just say a few words to Jiang Zhen... But, Jiang Zhen didn't see him at all.

Shen Anxin couldn't tell what it was like in his heart for a while, he only knew that it was sour and astringent, and it was extremely bitter.

This time, Jiang Zhen just came for a formality.

He met some people and let some people know him, but he didn't fight for the seat of the imperial merchant.

After discovering this, those businessmen became even more enthusiastic about him.

Jiang Zhen took Zhao Jinge to stay at Zheng's house for a long time that day, and then left. After that, he didn't go out for a few days, and he was busy training his subordinates at home.

But in the past few days, the capital is very lively.

One is because the Ministry of Households has selected some imperial merchants, and the other is because a new thing has spread from the palace.

Such a new thing is called Junzi card, because the pattern of the card inside is evolved from the four gentlemen of "plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum".

It has many ways to play, and it is perfect for killing time. For a while, almost all the upper-class people in the capital are talking about this thing.

The exquisite decks of cards that Zheng Yi asked the artist to draw were sold out in a short time. At the same time, the decks of cards in the Zheng family's shop also sold very well.

Sometimes, the easiest thing to spread is the fun thing.

For a while, almost everyone in the capital was talking about playing cards, but in the end, not many people paid attention to such things as the Ministry of Households' decision of the Imperial Merchant.

When Jiang Zhen took Zhao Jingge to a nearby shop to buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones, he heard someone in the shop asking if there were cards for sale.

"These playing cards are only sold in Zheng's shop now." The shopkeeper said after packing up the pens and inks Jiang Zhen bought.

"That's it..." The man said, "There is no Zheng's shop here, so I'll go further."

When Jiang Zhen took Zhao Jinge to a teahouse to listen to a storyteller...

The storyteller in the teahouse, who usually gets rewards for his stories, is now explaining how to play cards, and there are many people around him, listening to him with rapt attention.

It was Jiang Zhen who took Zhao Jingge to dinner, and there were people playing cards beside him.

Jiang Zhen: "..." The degree of popularity really exceeded his expectations...

No wonder the Zheng family specially sent him a carriage... It's a pity that he doesn't even have anyone who can drive a carriage.

Where in ancient times had the most rich idlers?There is no doubt that it is the capital.

The Qi Dynasty has been established for 300 years, and there are more and more noble children in Beijing every year, and not all of these noble children are promising, and many of them are just dawdling all day long.

However, it was these people who were the quickest to accept poker, and they popularized poker in a very short period of time. For a while, many people stopped wandering and played cards at home every day.

"When we get back, we'll also play cards." Jiang Zhen said to Zhao Jinge on the way back, holding a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Ah?" Brother Zhao Jing looked at Jiang Zhen in confusion. Didn't Jiang Zhen keep saying that he couldn't play cards and lose his mind, so he didn't take him to play cards?

Of course, he doesn't like it very much.

He is now inferior to Jiang Zhen in every way. Compared with playing cards, he is more willing to learn more and practice his handwriting well.

"Whoever loses at that time will take off one piece of clothing." Jiang Zhen said again.

Brother Zhao Jin's face turned red all of a sudden, and he had a feeling of "it really is".

Jiang Zhen looks very serious, but he is always not serious when doing things!

And he...he didn't reject it at all.
