Qin Dewei saw that Jiao Wenjie was also a well-informed person, so he continued to use Zhang Juzheng's name and deliberately chatted with Jiao Wenjie for a few more words, and learned a lot about the recent situation in Nanjing City.
With Qin Dewei's current status, if he appeared publicly in Nanjing, many things would not reach the ears of Academician Qin.
Now that Jiao Wenjie doesn't know Qin Dewei's identity, he naturally has less scruples about what he says and is closer to the truth.
After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Jiao Wenjie saw that Qin Dewei was very impressive and generous, so he wanted to make friends, and asked proactively: "Brother Zhang is here tonight, are you passing by or staying?"
Qin Dewei replied: "I have heard for a long time that Jinling is a scenic spot in the southeast, so I came down the river specially to visit. I want to enter the city tomorrow."
Jiao Wenjie said quickly: "There are many scenic spots in Jinling. In the past, the number one scholar of Qin Dynasty personally designated forty scenic spots. I'm afraid it will be difficult for outsiders to adapt. I am a local. If Brother Zhang doesn't dislike it, I would like to be your guide."
The attendant Ma Er, who was waiting at the table next to him, secretly laughed a few times and thought it was quite fun.
Now it is clear that two "strangers" met here by chance and chatted about Nanjing city stories, but they could hear the name Qin Zhuangyuan at every turn.
This is enough to show that Mr. Qin's influence is pervasive in Nanjing City, and it will be related to anything he says.
But why did Qin Dewei need a tour guide? He casually changed the subject and asked: "Are you a local? Why were you outside the city gate that night?"
Jiao Wenjie first pointed to the square-faced scholar next to him, "This is a descendant of Mr. Dingshan from Jiangpu Village on the other side.
I crossed the river today to buy new tea at Puzikou, but I came back late and the city gate was locked, so I had to stay outside the city gate."
Yunwu tea is a specialty of Jiangpu County on the other side. Qin Dewei was a little surprised: "You want you to go to Jiangbei to buy tea in person? Isn't it sold in the city?"
Jiao Wenjie replied: "It is specially given to the Qin Mansion. Only by going to the place of origin to purchase it can I show my sincerity."
Hearing the word "Qin Mansion", Qin Dewei was stunned, "Which Qin Mansion?"
Jiao Wenjie explained: "You friends from other places may not know. If we only talk about Qin House in Nanjing, then there is no other family, which is Qin Zhuangyuan's family."
Qin Dewei's opinion of Jiao Wenjie immediately dropped a bit. This man was already a scholar after all, but he was willing to do such a servant thing.
Moreover, for a scholar who is less than twenty years old, he knows that he is too slick and worldly to run around among the rich and powerful, even working hard for such trivial matters as buying new tea.
So Qin Dewei was not interested in continuing. He stood up and said, "I'm tired from the journey. Let's go back to the room to rest."
When Jiao Wenjie saw this, he understood that his behavior might have caused Brother Zhang to misunderstand him and regard him as a flattering villain, but it was hard for him to explain.
The friend next to him, Zhuang Sheng, explained on his behalf: "Brother Zhang didn't know something, but brother Jiao Xian actually had another reason.
The second old master of the Qin Mansion has an only daughter who is of marriageable age. Someone is helping Jiao Xiandi to arrange the marriage, so Jiao Xiandi has to show his attentiveness."
Qin Dewei couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't expect to hear such news.
The second old master of the Qin family in other people's mouths is naturally his uncle Qin Xiang, and his uncle's only daughter naturally refers to his cousin, who is a few years younger than himself and is indeed old enough to get married now.
Although how to marry a daughter is a matter for the uncle, when Qin Dewei encounters it, he should ask about it.
He turned to look at Jiao Wenjie again, looked at him a few more times, and then said, "It seems that my friend Jiao must be the best among men."
The meaning of this sentence is, given the status of the Qin family in Nanjing, how good are you, Jiao Wenjie, that you can let others help you match up?
Jiao Wenjie didn't understand why Brother Zhang and his entourage were instantly moved, and their eyes began to look at him.
He smiled sheepishly and responded humbly to Qin Dewei: "I don't have much ability. It's actually just a coincidence."
"What do you mean by coincidence?" Qin Dewei didn't understand.
Jiao Wenjie further explained: "Actually, the second old master of the Qin Mansion only wants to recruit a local scholar as his son-in-law, and he also wants to recruit someone with a reputation as a scholar.
Among the enrolled students, I happen to be the only one who has never married, so the seniors from the county school helped introduce and match up with the Qin family."
Qin Dewei suddenly realized: "No wonder it's a coincidence, then you are really lucky."
Jiao Wenjie vaguely felt that the friend Zhang in front of him seemed to be a bit bossy. From this, he could judge that this person must have been born into a wealthy family.
While thinking about it, he answered very seriously: "My family is poor, so it is difficult to get a wife, and I am still single.
Now, thanks to the inspection by the second old master of Qin Mansion, no matter whether it succeeds or not, it can be regarded as an opportunity."
When Qin Dewei heard the words "poor family", he thought highly of Jiao Wenjie again.
For the Qin family, which owns the largest bank in the two capitals, it doesn't matter whether the marriage partner is poor or rich. The most important thing is wealth.
However, those who are from a poor family and can still study and pass the examination in Nanjing are definitely considered to be one of the rarest talents. At least their IQs are very high.
The last similar person I met was Xing Yifeng, the "second child in ten thousand years", who passed the exam last year by virtue of his strength.
Thinking of this, Qin Dewei searched desperately in his memory, but he couldn't remember who Jiao Wenjie was.
But among the celebrities named Jiao in Nanjing, Qin Dewei thought of one person, Jiao Hong, the old number one scholar during the Wanli period.
The reason why this man is famous is that he broke the black history of Nanjing city having no literary champion for more than 200 years and made Nanjing scholars feel proud and proud.
But in this time and space, this task has been completed by Qin Dewei decades in advance.
In history, Jiao Hong was able to be the number one scholar, so his IQ was certainly not bad, and the Jiao Wenjie in front of him seemed to have a similar IQ, and both of them had the very rare surname Jiao. It couldn't be such a coincidence, right?
Qin Dewei counted the time and suddenly asked Jiao Wenjie: "If you had a son, what would you name him?"
Jiao Wenjie: ""
It’s hard to understand. What kind of weird problem is this?
Qin Dewei pretended to be mysterious and said: "I have learned some methods of measuring characters, and I can tell the fortune of your descendants."
Jiao Wenjie thought for a while, then came up with a name and said: "Jiao Hong."
The case has been solved! Qin Dewei finally deduced that this Jiao Wenjie is probably the biological father of Jiao Zhuangyuan in history, but he just doesn't know where the historical trajectory of this time and space will go.
At least it can be said that the Jiao family has no problem with their IQ, but they just don’t know what Jiao Wenjie’s character is like.
So Qin Dewei first said a few good words: "The imperial examination will surely flourish in future generations."
Of course everyone liked hearing the nice words, so Jiao Wenjie thanked him a few times.
Qin Dewei raised his head and looked outside again, "I've heard for a long time that Nandu is famous for its prosperity, but I've just arrived in Guibao, and I'm not familiar with the place.
Please ask friend Jiao to lead the way. I will be the host again and hold a second party of flower wine, so that I can experience the golden dust of this colorful world."
Jiao Wenjie smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zhang is going to explore the ancient world. It's not a problem for me to be a guide, but I'm really not familiar with the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion."
Qin Dewei said with a serious face: "Did friend Jiao deliberately show me his aloofness? In a place like Jinling where the atmosphere is unrestrained, how can any scholar not flirt with women?"
Jiao Wenjie hurriedly replied: "Brother Zhang still misunderstood! Scholars are not all libertines, but with my family background, how can I have spare money to squander it?
Even after I entered school, I went to the old courtyard house in Qinhuai Henan twice with my seniors. It was just a small taste of socializing, but to say that we are familiar with each other is not really familiar. "
Qin Dewei smiled and said: "Don't worry, I don't know the Qin Mansion. What happened tonight will not be spread to the Qin Mansion! It doesn't matter if you are not familiar with it!"
At this time, the attendant Ma Er called the waiter over and asked: "Where is the beauty outside Jiangdong Gate?"
Qin Dewei or Ma Er are familiar with places like Qinhuai Old Courtyard and Nanshi Lou Street in the city, but they are really unfamiliar with the outside of the city. However, there must be entertainment industry in the lively business district outside Jiangdong Gate.
The waiter replied simply: "The Jiangdong Building was renovated last year, just go there!"
Qin Dewei grabbed Jiao Wenjie and said boldly: "Let's go! Let's enjoy the night view of Jinling together. Today I met my friend Jiao and I feel like old friends. I'm sure my friend Jiao won't let me walk alone!"
Qin Dewei believes that ordinary people can easily reveal their true nature in the face of alcohol and sex.
Jiao Wenjie was very troubled, who is this person? He was polite and polite just now, but suddenly he became enthusiastic.
Besides, we just met each other, and we immediately went to drink flower wine. Isn’t the progress too fast?
Jiao Wenjie wanted to refuse, but several of Qin Dewei's followers probably understood their master's intention, so they rushed forward.
With persuasion and cart pulling, Jiao Wenjie was forced to go out. Jiao Wenjie's friend Zhuang Sheng had no choice but to follow along.
Various facilities are concentrated in this area, and within a few steps you will reach the renovated Jiangdong Building.
At this time, the moon is shining above the willow trees, and the lights upstairs and downstairs are brightly lit. From a distance, you can feel the intoxicating atmosphere of Jinjin Cave.
"As expected of a newly built place, the hardware is really good." Qin Dewei commented.
Ma Er also subconsciously replied: "It's a bit similar to the fashion of Nanshi Building Street. Could it be that places where businessmen gather like this style? It's never been like this at the old Qinhuai courtyard."
Jiao Wenjie: ""
You call this unfamiliarity? Are you deliberately hiding something?
Qin Dewei patted Jiao Wenjie hard and said, "Don't worry, I will bear all the expenses tonight!"
Then Qin Dewei took the lead and walked quickly into Jiangdong Tower.
Later, Jiao Wenjie couldn't help but ask Ma Er: "Your master seems to be very happy?"
Ma Er sighed: "It's probably been a long time since I had a carefree relaxation."
After Qin Dewei walked into Jiangdong Building, he looked around and saw a row of huge screens in the lobby on the first floor. After walking around the screen, he saw a dozen women of various colors sitting behind the screen.
The reason why I don't say there are more than a dozen beauties is because compared with his past experience, Qin Dewei feels that the overall quality is a bit off.
Sure enough, the industry leaders are still in Qinhuai Old Hospital and Nanshi Lou Street. No matter how gorgeous the hardware is in other places, the software is still inferior.
Suddenly, one of the women stood up and walked towards Qin Dewei.
Qin Dewei took a closer look and saw that she was a woman in her thirties, but she looked very familiar. Although she still had charm, in this industry, thirty years old is considered old.
Not everyone can be like Qin Dewei, who can appreciate both young girls and young adults.
As he got closer, Qin Dewei finally recognized him. Isn't this Feng Shuangshuang, one of the four beauties of Qinhuai back then? The senior sister who was involved in the relationship with Wang Lianqing ten years ago and broke up with her.
Qin Dewei cursed in his heart, "You're on horseback," why are you still meeting old acquaintances here? You, Feng Shuangshuang, are already in your thirties, why haven't you turned behind the scenes?
At the same time, he stepped forward urgently and said proactively: "I'm in Jiangling, Zhang Juzheng, and I've met this sister!"
Feng Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment, then climbed up and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Zhang. I'm lucky enough to meet you. Do you need me to serve as a slave tonight?"
After all, he was also a top figure in the flower field in the past, with quick thinking and reactions.
Qin Dewei suspected that as long as he did not agree to let Feng Shuangshuang accompany him for drinks, his identity would definitely not be kept secret.
Although Jiao Wenjie was a little down-to-earth, he was not stupid. He looked at Qin Dewei and Feng Shuangshuang suspiciously. You guys started interacting with each other right away. Do you still call this unfamiliar?
However, he still couldn't understand. Judging from his age, Zhang's friend was only two or three years older than him. Why could he be familiar with this young woman in her thirties?
Qin Dewei left Feng Shuangshuang behind, pointed out a few that looked good, and then went directly upstairs.
To make it easier for people to hug each other, they are seated separately and each person is seated alone.
In this way, Qin Dewei and Jiao Wenjie sat a little further apart, and took the opportunity to ask Feng Shuangshuang in a low voice: "You are also one of the four beauties of Qinhuai, how did you end up here?"
Feng Shuangshuang laughed miserably: "How old are these four beauties of Qinhuai?"
No need to go into details, Qin Dewei can probably guess the inside story. It's just that he is old and has passed away, and he has not found anyone to entrust him to for life.
So after the old Qinhuai Hospital lost its competitiveness, it was moved to a third-rate venue like Jiangdong Building outside the city.
Of course, Feng Shuangshuang's decline is also closely related to Qin Dewei. Feng Shuangshuang's "big brother" is Gu Lin and Gu Dongqiao, the former leader of the old alliance.
Gu Lin was hit by Qin Dewei and lost her reputation. She left Nanjing four or five years ago. Feng Shuangshuang lost his backer and his most important brother, and no one has come to take over.
Qin Dewei asked curiously: "You don't hate me in your heart?"
"How dare I hate you? What's the use of hating you? Who doesn't know in Nanjing that as long as you can be related to you, whether it is a person or an object, your worth will immediately double.
Take the flower world as an example, the two most popular beauties at present are one who claims to be the abandoned wife of Qin Zhuangyuan, and the other who claims to be the woman Qin Zhuangyuan desires."
Qin Dewei: ""
What is this all about? Who is the abandoned woman? Liu Yue? Who is she who cannot get her? What are her feelings five hundred years later?
Qin Dewei suddenly felt that the city of Nanjing had become very strange. It was no longer the Nanjing in his memory, and now it had become very alienated.
Qin Dewei drove the messy thoughts out of his mind, "Don't talk about that now, I have something to ask you to arrange!"
Feng Shuangshuang complained: "In Nanjing, there are still things that you can't do. Do you need help from others to arrange them?"
Qin Dewei habitually gave orders: "I don't care what method you use to arrange a conflict! I want to test the courage of others!"
