Zheng Shangming was also very surprised: "I heard that you returned to Linzi earlier. I also went to Xiashan Villa to look for you, but you were not in the mansion. Unexpectedly, I saw you now!"
It’s been a while since I last saw Zheng Shangming, his changes have become even greater.
To He Zhi, to the stranger on the carriage, and to Jiang Wang, these are three completely different attitudes, which can be switched freely.
The way he speaks is also very appropriate, mellow, sophisticated, and affectionate, as if he has been accustomed to being in the yamen and dealing with all kinds of religions and nine streams.
Jiang Wang personally still feels that the way the other person cherishes words like gold is more genuine when they first meet, but he also knows that people will change to a greater or lesser extent.
Perhaps it can be called..."growth".
“I’ve been busy here and there.” Jiang Wang said with a smile: “After I’ve been busy for a while, I’ll treat you to a drink. I haven’t thanked you for what happened last time!”
"You went to sea to do big things, and you also handled the case by hand. You are a role model for Qingpai. I can't thank you enough!" Zheng Shangming said enthusiastically: "Whenever you are free, tell me and I will treat you!"
"
Bei Ya's intelligence capabilities are ranked among the best in the entire Qi State.
Zheng Shangming knew very well about Jiang Wang's impressive performance overseas. His father Zheng Shi mentioned Jiang Wang's name several times, always praising him.
Of course he understood his father's hints and knew what he should do.
His earlier arrogance and self-restraint were smashed to pieces by Wang Yiwu in front of the Marshal's Mansion. After another year of experience at the Capital Inspection Mansion, he had long since let go of the things he couldn't let go of.
Earlier, I went to Xiashan Prefecture to find Jiang Wang for no other reason than to keep in touch. How could he be like this before?
If it were him in the past, he would still have dealt with He Zhen's driving incident seriously, but he certainly would not have thought that he would also appease the higher-ups on the street and promote his reputation.
The two men were chatting enthusiastically, and the coachman from Bao's Carriage and Horse Company listened more and more to something strange.
The surname is Jiang...lives in Xiashan Mountain...
Is this the one with the surname Jiang?
Green card!
That’s right!
The one who took a carriage ride and extorted a large sum of money from his master's family!
I heard that others were doing well, mainly because Mr. Sheng of the Chongxuan family was using the topic as an excuse...
But the point is that the carriage and horse shop has already made a rule that it will never take on the business of Zhong Xuan Sheng and Jiang Wang. Why does this man still hire our carriage through an intermediary?
The people of the Chongxuan family are too unethical!
The coachman had mixed feelings here. Over there, Zheng Shangming had finished his pleasantries with Jiang Wang and went to deal with the case of He Zhen driving in a busy city.
Zheng Shangming first stopped the carriage in order to leave a testimony to prove that He Zhen's carriage had violated the "Etiquette Order" and forced the carriage entering the city to avoid the road. This kind of thoughtfulness is a reflection of his ability to handle things.
But later he found out that the person in the car was Jiang Wang, so he didn’t even mention it. Because Jiang Wang’s identity was unusual, it was not good to trouble Jiang Wang with such a trivial matter. Secondly, Jiang Wang’s name was left in the testimony.
If he goes up, there might be some conflicts with Uncle Guo's Mansion. If these troubles happen because of him, it will inevitably leave a bad impression on Jiang Wang.
So he only exchanged pleasantries and said nothing else.
“Let’s go.” Jiang Wang ordered after watching Zheng Shangming leave.
The coachman wanted to let him get off the bus to show the seriousness of Bao's carriage, but after thinking about it again and again, he finally didn't dare.
Let’s just pretend that we didn’t guess it...he thought.
“Okay, sit still!” He tapped the riding crop lightly, and the horse started walking happily with small steps.
The Yan family's mansion in Linzi is not considered luxurious.
After all, we are in the capital of Qi, so whether you are a dragon or a tiger, you must act in a low-key manner.
Yan Fu was at home. After the banquet at Neverwin Island, he was the first to return to Linzi. He had already had enough of the scenery on the sea. When it came to various enjoyments, Linzi was still the most prosperous.
Of course, this was not the main reason why he was in a hurry to return to Linzi.
After receiving the message from his servant, Yan Fu hurried out to greet him. He smiled from afar and said, "How come you, a stupid person who only knows about cultivation all day long, come to see me today?"
Yan Fu, who has always been reserved, gentle, and very elegant, can show such enthusiasm, and everyone in the Yan family will naturally know his son's attitude towards Mr. Jiang.
Everyone’s eyes were somewhat respectful.
Given Jiang Wang's current relationship with Yan Fu, there was no need to mince words. He said very directly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to see you. I have something to do with you."
Yan smiled. Jiang Wang refused to be polite to him, which showed that the relationship was in place. "Why do you need to go there in person? Can't you just hand over a letter?"
He gave way and said, "Come on, come in and talk."
Following Yan Fu into the Yan family's mansion, Jiang Wang finally saw what wealth is.
Different from the simple and low-key outside, all the thoughts are on the inside.
It is not a matter of piling up gold and building jade, but of carefully curving the waist of the corridor, pecking at jade and dotting green, and doing meticulous work on details such as screen corners and cornices.
Like the green bamboo and jade hanging curtains, when the wind blows, there is a quiet sound, like the sound of spring in the valley.
Like stone slabs paving the ground under your feet, it feels great and is warm and cool...
Jiang Wang couldn't quite see the value, but he just felt that it was pleasing to the eye and comfortable everywhere he looked.
He is now no longer the young man from Fengxi Town who has never seen much of the world. He has been to all the famous families in Linzi City, including the House of the Marquis of Decheng and the House of the Bowang Marquis.
But simply speaking of residences, these two princely residences are not as good as the Yan family.
“How much does it cost to arrange it like this?” Jiang Qingyang, who has seen the world, sighed as if he had never seen the world.
Yan Fu did not respond directly, but only smiled and said: "You can go to Bei County with me later. The old house is worth a visit."
The implication is, what is this house in Linzi? There is nothing to say!
I remembered that when I built the Taixu Corner Tower, I had to get the accounts from Desheng Merchant Bank. It all relied on Zhongxuansheng's investment. I had to build a Zhengsheng Hall in the fiefdom, and Fan Qingqing and Dugu Xiao had to slowly grind there, scratching their fingernails.
Deduct money...
Jiang Wang said sourly: "Tsk, tsk, do you know the principle of not showing money in vain?"
"There are two types of people who are not afraid of showing their wealth. One is that they are in the land of Qingming, they are getting rich legitimately, and they are not afraid of being remembered. The other is that their fists are strong enough and there are people above them." Yan Fu smiled warmly: "The Yan family has both.
occupy."
"Let's talk about business." He walked into the hall and sat down casually. Jiang Wang said quietly: "Money and other things, things outside of you are like floating clouds."
"You're right, it's just a number." Yan Fu felt that the hero had similar views, and said with a smile: "Come to me if you have anything that you can't even handle?"
No matter what his reputation is, Jiang Wang's circle of friends all recognize his abilities. There are very few things he can't accomplish.
Jiang Wang said bluntly: "I want to attend the Yellow River Meeting, but I don't know how to get a spot."
Yan smiled and said, "Chongxuan Pang has quite an idea!"
Only Chong Xuan Sheng, who was familiar with the situation in Linzi, knew who Jiang Wang was most suitable to approach for this matter. So he knew immediately that this was Chong Xuan Sheng's idea.
"As for the candidates to participate in the Yellow River Meeting, in fact, many yamen have the right to recommend, and they also have the obligation to recommend. For example, Beiya, the major county governors... In addition, those marquis and uncles, the highly respected Qingpai... also
Able to speak."
Yan Fu analyzed: "All these candidates will be recommended to the Zhengshi Hall, and the Zhengshi Hall will select three from them for the imperial review. Zhongxuan Pang can also help you, but for the step of recommending quotas, please ask Bowang Hou or Ding
It is obviously very uneconomical for Marquis Yuan to speak."
Recommended, [ app ] is really good and worth installing. After all, there are many book sources, complete books, and fast updates!
Jiang Wang thought to himself that there are still important factors of Xuan Zun in this.
Yan Fufeng Qingyundan said: "I will send you a post later, and the matter will be settled. There must be your name in the political affairs hall."
