"It doesn't matter. Mr. Jin is such a hero, why would he care about such a thing?" Cui Xuanze said nonchalantly, "Miss Jin is a lady, and she won't care about such a trivial matter. Besides, Mr. Park, you must have a reliable person in your inner house.
She is from the local area. Otherwise, Madam would not be served even when she comes in."
Then he hinted that Mr. Jin knew about this, so he could accept it without any problem. Pu Dehuan then thought that since she was an evil girl, her status in the family was not very high, so she didn't need to worry too much. Besides, this woman was really seductive.
People accepted it half-heartedly.
Pu Dehuan sent Cui Xuanze away and asked someone to call his brother back. In addition to discussing his marriage, he had other plans: Pu Dehuan acted as a translator and was often around the leader and knew a lot of inside information.
He wanted to find out who had been around the chief recently to give him eye drops, and at the same time, he wanted to remind his brother that someone might be harmful to his brother.
In the recent Jeju Island "Leading Party", there have been faint signs of "official struggle". Feng Zongze suffered from a lack of suitable cadres, and some negative effects of appointing a large number of leading parties have gradually emerged. A large number of old personnel have been absorbed into
In the administrative machinery of the new government, some political characteristics of the old regime also emerged.
Park Dehuan is now the "Arrow Supervisor" and has naturally become a thorn in the eyes of many people. In order to preserve his position and the benefits that come with it, he plans to have a good talk with his brother about today's matter.
"I'm so exhausted..." Pu Demeng dragged his tired body back from outside the city.
He spent most of today working as a translator for Chief Nick at the horse pen outside the city. Nick was known for his high energy among the chiefs. Pu Demeng even felt that he did not need to sleep: one day he trained Nick as a breeder.
I worked as an on-site translator until midnight. The next morning, before dawn, he called me out to be a translator again. I only slept for less than two hours. I was so groggy that I just wanted to sleep.
Pu Demeng felt that working as a translator for Nick was not only more tiring than working as a translator for other chiefs, but also more tiring than when he was an official servant in the past - it was a mindless job, but now not only do he have to follow him all the time.
He was running around and constantly thinking about how to translate many words that he had never heard of before. It was really exhausting.
Because of his busy work, he lived in the dormitory of the prison camp most of the time and did not return to the house purchased by his brother. As soon as he returned to the dormitory today, a security soldier came to tell him what his elder brother wanted him to do tonight if he had no way out.
Take a trip home.
After Pu Demeng heard this, he hurried home and returned to his mansion. As soon as he entered the courtyard, the maid came up to him and took his satchel.
"Is there a guest at home?" Pu Demeng saw a pair of women's shoes on the stepping stone outside and couldn't help but feel strange - his brother had always planned to get married, but he had not gotten married yet; and he would not bring a prostitute home.
"It belongs to the new slave," the maid said.
"New slave?" Pu Demeng was a little surprised. At this moment, he heard the voice of the elder brother in the room:
"Are you a good brother? Come in quickly!"
Pu Demeng walked in and was surprised to find that his eldest brother was drinking with a strange young woman. He was already a little tipsy.
Just as he was about to salute, Pu Dehuan waved his hand: "Sit down. We brothers will have a good conversation."
"Yes." Pu Demeng sat down respectfully.
Although Pu Dehuan drank a few drinks, his mind was very clear, and he immediately asked Zhang Chengxue to exit first. Then he told him what happened to Feng Zongze today, and asked him to pay more attention to the things around the chiefs, especially to see who was among the chiefs.
Talking ill about himself in front of him. He also specifically mentioned that Kim Yong Joo might be causing trouble behind his back, asking Park Deok Meng to find an opportunity to throw a black brick at Kim Yong Joo.
Pu Demeng didn't speak. He just listened to his brother's half-narrating and half-complaining words. It wasn't until he mentioned Kim Yong-joo that he said:
"Kim Yong-joo is highly regarded by the chiefs," he said cautiously. "He also wants to send his daughter Kim Oh-soon somewhere to 'study' and come back to become a female official..."
"Nonsense!" Pu Dehuan said unconsciously, and immediately broke into a cold sweat as he spoke the words. How could he say "nonsense" about the chief's affairs? If someone heard about it and reported it, it would be a serious crime to slander the superior officer.
He quickly looked around and whispered: "Why do you want a woman to be an official? She is so ugly!"
Pu Demeng nodded and whispered: "Big brother is right. But he is very trusted now. I'm afraid it will be difficult to do what big brother said..."
He hesitated for a moment and wanted to add some more of his own opinions: since the eldest brother became the Archery Supervisor, he has had more and more social activities outside, and the house has become bigger and bigger. All kinds of enjoyment have also increased, and now there is an inexplicable addition of a sister-in-law.
woman.
Thinking of the two brothers who originally only wanted to have enough food every day, a house to live in, and a woman to be their wife, Pu Demeng couldn't help but feel that his eldest brother had become too big now.
"Asshole!" Pu Dehuan saw that he had been hesitating and refused to answer, so he put on a "brother" face and scolded him seriously. "You can't do such a small thing! How can you be a translator?"
Pu Demeng didn't dare to say anything - he was raised by his elder brother and was very afraid of him. Although he felt that this matter was inappropriate, he did not dare to bring it up in person.
Pu Dehuan lost his temper, but then calmed down: "You also know how difficult it is for us brothers to reach this point. When the chiefs came, we turned over. Now it is the time when the chiefs are employing people, and working hard is to fawn over.
What’s going on is that you have to protect yourself! Otherwise, if you keep trying to fawn over, you’ll still end up in the same end!” As he spoke, he raised his neck and drank another glass of wine.
Pu Demeng had no choice but to say: "Brother, what you have learned is true." In fact, he didn't really agree. In his opinion, it was a bit taboo for the eldest brother to enjoy such a high-profile life now - among the current "Path-Leading Party", there really are no such blatant people.
But he did not dare to say any more, and only listened to his eldest brother continue to talk about his marriage. The fact that Huang Yunyu mentioned to him the marriage of the evil daughter of Mr. Jin's family was the first time that Pu Dehuan told his brother.
"Brother, this is not appropriate." After listening to his words, Pu Demeng was a little afraid of his brother, but felt that the matter was serious, so he still spoke.
"What's wrong?"
"This Master Jin is still a second-rank official of the imperial court - although it is a false title, he is still from the Li Dynasty. My eldest brother is now an official of the Song Dynasty. Isn't it a problem..."
"What's the point?" Pu Dehuan disapproved, "Master Jin is also the one invited to this meeting - besides, his second-grade official position is just an empty title. He is also a big horse breeder. Didn't you say that the chiefs value horses very much?
After establishing a good relationship with him, wouldn’t Jeju Island become the racecourse of the Song Dynasty? Your brother and I still have merit.”
These words seemed to make sense. After all, Pu Demeng was a young man with limited experience. Although he felt that something was wrong in his heart, he still did not say it out loud.
Pu Dehuan saw that his brother obviously did not approve of his marriage, and he was a little uninterested. He asked Zhang Chengxue to come in and serve the meal, and they ate together and went to rest.
That night, in the backyard of a large shop in Jeju City, another banquet was in progress. Besides Cui Xuanze and Huang Yunyu, the other person at the table was Zhao Minggui.
The three people drank sips of wine and talked quietly.
Huang Yunyu stroked his beard and seemed to be deep in thought. After a while, he said: "So he didn't shirk?"
"After a little pretentiousness, I said a few words and he accepted it - this kid is so greedy!"
"It's good to be greedy, even if you dare to make money out of the frying pan." Huang Yunyu laughed, "Does Zhang Chengxue like him?"
Cui Xuanze said quickly: "I think he likes it very much!"
"Okay, okay." Huang Yunyu nodded repeatedly, "Go find her tomorrow and tell her to put more effort into gaining his trust as soon as possible and keeping him firmly in your hands!"
"She can't afford this kind of thing!"
Zhao Minggui, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up: "This person is greedy for money and lustful, but it's easy to control him. I'm afraid he won't be reliable at the critical moment."
"So put Zhang Chengxue next to him." Huang Yunyu said. Then he looked at him with probing eyes and asked: "What does Mr. Jin say now?"
In fact, Cui Xuanze went to the peninsula ostensibly to sell goods. In fact, he also had another task, which was to contact officials of the Li Dynasty for Jin Wanyi.
As a large local landowner, Kim Wan-il took advantage of the short-term chaos of the collapse of the government and embezzled many horses from the official horse farm and made a fortune, but he had no intention of joining the newly arrived "Japanese Kun".
This is not because he is loyal to the Li Dynasty, but under the rule of the Li Dynasty, he is very comfortable on this island. Although there are several officials, he inevitably spends some entertainment and contributes some horses every year, but other than that,
The government doesn't interfere with his affairs at all.
Now it's this group of "Japanese pirates" - although they have always called themselves the "Great Song Dynasty", Mr. Jin thinks that they are just Japanese pirates who are slow to change their tune.
After this group of "Japanese kings" arrived on the island, they neither looted nor burned it. They just continued to build and transport people from the Ming Dynasty to the island in large ships. They began to build roads on the island, measure the land, and build horse pens.
They are also checking household registrations and sending people to all parts of the island to check pastures... All these actions show that they have ulterior motives. Recently, I learned from Pu Dehuan that the "Japanese Kun" is planning to convene a meeting in all villages on the island, and all big households will send
When people came to attend, Mr. Jin couldn't help but feel great worries about his property.
He is the well-known richest man on the island, and he has many horses coveted by Japanese emperors. Could it be that he is planning to take action against him? Although Mr. Jin is not very loyal to the court, the Li Dynasty will not want all his wealth after all. This group of unknown origins
"Japanese Kun" is hard to say.
