After staying in Yangzhou for two days, Qian Wubing returned to Nanjing.
Sun Yuping, who learned his identity, had been walking with wind for the past two days, and the joy on his face was just like the last time the salt merchant sent him this thin horse as a concubine. When people reach middle age, especially
The biggest wish of an official is to "get promoted and make a fortune to kill his wife!" His wife has died long ago. After working as a promotion officer for several years and as a transport envoy for more than half a year, he can be considered rich, and
Now, this promotion does not seem to be such a far-fetched dream.
Jinyiwei is aware that he is acting on behalf of the commander! Doesn’t this mean that all the Jinyiwei in the world have to listen to their own son-in-law now? My dear, if I see whoever gives me a wink in the future, I’ll call him good when he comes back.
The son-in-law is going to deal with him. That girl Qian'er, I have always seen her as not a lucky person since she was a child. Now it seems that she is indeed the case. Although she is not the son-in-law's wife, she is not wronged by being an equal wife.
.
Humming a little tune, Sun Yuping came back from the dock and looked at Zhao Bao, who was beside him with a smile on his face.
"Zhao Baihu!"
"Master Sun!" Zhao Bao was startled and suddenly came back to his senses. Now he knew that the person in front of him was Master Taishan, his acting commander. The smile on his face was so brilliant!
"In the future, we will have to trouble Zhao Baihu in Yangzhou. We were not very close before, but now we have to get close!" Sun Yuping said.
"That's right!" Zhao Baihu said with a smile: "Master Sun, whenever you need Zhao Bao, just speak up. Although Zhao Bao has a small official position, he still has a lot of strength!"
"Then I'm really rude?" Sun Yuping remembered something that had been on his mind for a long time, and rolled his eyes slightly: "My wife, Naru, used to be from the salt merchant Xu's family, but now she's with me, but...
, it seems that the Xu family has always forgotten to send her body deed. This is not a big deal. It would be a bit embarrassing for me to go alone. How about Zhao Baihu help me ask? "
"Leave this matter to Zhao Bao!" Zhao Bao's chest clapped loudly, "Master Sun and your lady, just wait at home for Zhao Bao to deliver the body deed!"
Sun Yuping's Mrs. Ru is, well, just a concubine. Mrs. Ru is just a polite way of saying that his concubine was given to him by the salt merchant Xu Zihou. Zhao Bao had already found out about this concubine after he came to Nanjing.
It is clear that Yangzhou is rich in "skinny horses" and is famous all over the world. At that time, Zhao Bao didn't pay much attention to this skinny concubine. He just sighed that this little skinny horse was considered a blessing. Compared with her "standing horses"
"Guan" sisters, life is much better.
But things are different now. Although this little skinny horse is just the concubine of Mr. Sun, not his wife, she can still be regarded as the aunt of his commander. He has no shirk in this matter!
"By the way, the name on the deed should be Ziyuan. Zhao Baihu must not make a mistake!"
Speaking of Yangzhou thin horses, the people who raise thin horses financed the purchase of pretty girls from poor families and trained them, teaching them singing and dancing, playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. When they grew up, they were sold to the rich as concubines or moved into Qin Mansion.
Chu Palace, in order to make profits from it. Because poor women are often thin and weak, the name "Skinny Horse" comes from this.
Although they are all called Shou Ma, there are generally differences due to their different qualifications: girls with first-class qualifications will be taught to play the piano and flute, recite poetry and calligraphy, draw and go, play Shuanglu, wipe dominoes, and bed
There are all kinds of obscenities and exquisite makeup skills and physical training. Girls with second-class qualifications can also read some words and play some music, but they are mainly trained to be accounting talents, knowing how to keep accounts and manage affairs, so as to assist businessmen.
To become a housewife, girls with third-class qualifications are not allowed to read and are trained to become qualified housewives by learning some sewing, tailoring, or "frying and steaming cakes, making stove food, and arranging fruits, each with their own skills."
In short, everyone has his own place and his own abilities.
The salt merchants are the richest people in the world. The skinny horses they like may be simply the skinny horses raised by their own families. Of course, they will not have the latter two qualifications. They must be the first type. Such skinny horses will have a low price.
No, the market price of the best thin horse is generally more than two thousand taels of silver. If two wealthy businessmen fall in love with the same thin horse, the price may rise to tens of thousands of taels of silver. Officials serve in different places,
Naturally, they cannot bring their families with them. In Yangzhou, for a local wealthy businessman to give one or several well-qualified thin horses as concubines to local officials, that is both elegant and unrealistic.
Of course, it is a bit unethical to send a thin horse out, and also hold the body and deeds of the thin horse in your hands, and not give it to the recipient. Doesn't this mean that as long as the person giving it is willing, he can give it to him at any time?
If you want the thin horse that you sent out to come back, you should sue the government. This government only recognizes the contract!
Zhao Hu, as a local snake, knew who this salt merchant Xu Zihou was. Although he was not the first-class rich man in Yangzhou City, unlike those salt merchants, this Xu Zihou still had a foothold.
Xu Zihou is from the Xu family.
It's a little awkward to say it this way, but the meaning, the literal meaning, is not wrong at all.
There are several great families in Jiangnan, all of which have been inherited for hundreds of years. The seven families of Xu, Su, Jiang, and Wang are all behemoths. After these families became big, they began to branch out. You can see almost every field in Jiangnan.
Looking at their clan members, it can be said that wherever there is huge profit, you can definitely find people from these families there, whether they are direct descendants or collateral descendants.
Even for the children of the collateral line, who come from a family, when something happens, the first thing they consider will naturally not be the people of the court, but their family. All the children of the collateral line understand that family is their foundation.
The support of their family means nothing to them. They feed back the family, and the family spares no resources to support its own people. Although there are some unscrupulous children in every generation, there are also smart and capable people in every generation. The management of the children of all generations
, official positions, marriages, and huge nets to describe their power in the south of the Yangtze River are not enough.
As for whether Xu Zihou was a collateral or direct descendant of the Xu family, Zhao Hu had never really cared before.
Therefore, when it comes to dealing with people from these big families, even if Zhao Hu's chest thumps in front of Sun Yuping, he still has to carefully consider how to act.
Leading a group of royal guards, kicking open the door of a house with a ferocious look, and then placing a bright embroidered spring knife on the opponent's neck, ordering the opponent to hand over his identity bond, this is obviously not possible, even if he, Zhao Hu, flatters the commander-in-chief
No matter how thoughtful my aunt is, she never does things with such a careless attitude. Jin Yiwei has a reputation for being domineering, but that also depends on the person. He is a small householder, no matter how domineering he is, how can he be so domineering?
Which of these big families couldn't produce a second- or third-grade official? They really wanted to crush him to death. He didn't believe that he had such a great reputation, so he asked the acting commander to support him!
