92. Live in the capital(1/2)

Jiang Zhen originally didn't want to contact those big names who were officials, but Master Zheng Er called him to see him, so he obviously couldn't refuse.

Let Brother Zhao Jin go back to his room first, but Jiang Zhenbing goes to Zheng Yi's place.

Compared to the yard where Jiang Zhen lives, the yard where Zheng Yi lives is luxurious. Even if Jiang Zhen doesn’t know much about the goods, he still knows that the things in it are probably very expensive.

However, even so, all this did not shock Jiang.

No matter how smooth the floor is, it is still slabs. Can they compare to the various ceramic tiles of later generations? They are all made of marble... At this time, people cannot polish the marble floor as smooth as the later generations. They can't even think about it if they are made of flowers.

As for the wooden boards... I have seen all kinds of beautiful wooden floors with exquisite colors, and the solid wooden boards here, Jiang Zhen really doesn't think they are so beautiful.

As for those luxury items... For those like Jiang Zhen who have no research on antiques and do not like them, various modern ornaments are actually more beautiful.

Because of this, Jiang Zhen was never expressed in any curiosity and envy at the things in Zheng Yi's house.

At the same time, Jiang Zhenguang, who had been standing for more than ten years, had a sense of momentum with his own momentum, and every step he took was measured well when walking.

Mr. Zheng Er came to meet Jiang Zhen because of his strong recommendation from his nephew. He thought he was just an ordinary person with more outstanding features, but he didn't expect that the last person he saw was a young man with extraordinary demeanor.

Although the young man's skin is dark, his hands are very rough, and his clothes are ordinary, and from the details, it can be seen that his life was not good in the past, but he has a very good temperament. Just looking at his appearance, I am afraid no one would have thought that he would have been an ordinary farmer who farmed before.

For a moment, Master Zheng Er even suspected that his nephew was deceived by someone with ulterior motives.

But... this man approached their Zheng family and gave a lot of things, but did not deceive anything...

And... in the capital, their Zheng family is really nothing. It is actually not worth it for this person to deceive them.

Master Zheng Er quickly came to his senses and spoke to Jiang Zhen. When he spoke, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he used official language.

The Mandarin of Daqi is very similar to the modern Mandarin, and most of the people in the capital speak Mandarin.

After a few days of adaptation, Jiang Zhen had already learned almost all this Mandarin. Even because he had spoken Mandarin since he was a child, he actually had no Jiangnan accent when speaking Mandarin.

When Mr. Zheng Er spoke to him in a Jiangnan accent, he responded in more purely.

That official words are much more authentic than Master Zheng Er.

Master Zheng Er's expression suddenly became a little subtle.

Because Zheng Yi had been talking to Jiang Zhen in the dialect of Hecheng County, he did not know that Jiang Zhen could speak Mandarin, and was also shocked for a moment.

Because he often travels between Beijing and Jiangnan, Zheng Yi is able to understand many dialects, and he is not only able to understand Mandarin, but also speaks some.

Occasionally, when he was in Jiangnan, he would show off his official words.

He always felt that he was quite talented in this regard, but now... Jiang Zhen's pronunciation is spoken seriously and his words are even more serious.

He has been in Beijing for a few days, right? How did he learn it?

How did you learn it? Of course, the primary school Chinese teachers teach pinyin one by one, and they also let someone stand up and read the text...

Jiang Zhen also knew that Master Zheng Er wanted to make things difficult for him.

He would not offend Master Zheng Er for no reason, but he did not intend to endure it if others made things difficult for him.

"No, really good." Master Zheng Er said: "You can speak official words. When the wound is sutured, I will take you to meet the nobles in Beijing." He smiled and looked kind. In one sentence, he said that all the temptations and embarrassment against Jiang Zhen were for Jiang Zhen's good.

Jiang Zhen has seen many such people. He has several leaders on him. Even if he rushed in and patted someone’s table, he could still smile. Therefore, he didn’t find it strange, nor would he be afraid because of the other party’s kindness.

Of course, he has no shortage of etiquette and even does a good job - this society is different from modern times.

Master Zheng Er saw Jiang Zhen's appearance and was secretly amazed, and his evaluation of Jiang Zhen was a little higher.

He really believed in his nephew's words now - Jiang Zhen is probably able to do something.

Master Zheng Er's expression became more and more kind.

Master Zheng Er said something to Jiang Zhen. At first, he pulled Jiang Zhen to talk about all kinds of things about He Cheng County, and later asked about the suture of the wound and the cards, and praised Jiang Zhen for his dexterity.

After saying that, he also invited Jiang Zhen to have a meal.

The food on the table is very exquisite, but Jiang Zhen, who has been to hotels many times in modern times, is still very calm.

After dinner, it was already dark, and Jiang Zhen also said goodbye and left.

Seeing him leaving, Master Zheng Er said to Zheng Yi: "This person must be won over, not neglect, and do not give others the opportunity to sell well."

"Second uncle, that's what I think." Zheng Yi said, he always attached great importance to Jiang Zhen.

"By the way, I have an empty house in Beijing, surrounded by merchants, you go and give it to him." Mr. Zheng Er said again.

Zheng Yi nodded.

If there is no way to buy this better house in Beijing, it is impossible to buy it even if you want to. Giving a house to Jiang Zhen is really good.

They are in the capital this time and will probably stay for a month or two, and Jiang Zhen really needs to have a place to settle down.

When Jiang Zhen returned to his room, Brother Zhao Jin had already had dinner, but he left him a dish: "Jiang Zhen, the braised pork made by Li today is very delicious, I'll keep it for you."

After saying that, he added: "This meat is relatively fat, I only ate two pieces."

After saying that, he glanced at the bowl of meat on the table again.

Pieces of pork belly, two fingers wide and three fingers long, are braised with soy sauce and sugar. The roast is so oily that it looks very appetizing.

When Jiang Zhen and Master Zheng Er were having dinner together, they were very restrained and were not full. At this moment, Ruoer directly brought him a bowl of rice.

Brother Zhao Jin left some of Jiang Zhen for every dish, hoping that Jiang Zhen would try it. In addition to braised pork, the food on the table also included winter melon soup, cold tofu, and two stir-fried vegetarian dishes.

Jiang Zhen swept the dishes with the rice, and even picked up the last piece of braised pork and took a bite...

Brother Zhao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and then a piece of braised pork that had bitten off the fat meat was stuffed into his mouth.

"Go and wash, then go to bed." Jiang Zhen said.

When he heard the word "sleep", Brother Zhao's face turned red subconsciously.

Since getting married to Jiang Zhen, the meaning of the word sleep is not just sleeping...

Jiang Zhen felt refreshed the next day and was in a good mood. After Zheng Yi came to him and gave him a house in Beijing, he felt better.

Unexpectedly, one day he would have a big house in a place where every inch of land in the capital...

"The house is very big, even if you take all your subordinates to live there, you can live there." Zheng Yi said: "As for the sailors you rescued on the way, why not leave it to me and I will arrange work for them." There are so many people, it is not good to keep them idle all the time...

Jiang Zhen agreed.

He asked Zheng Yi's manager to arrange those people, and asked the manager again if he could arrange work for the woman and Shuang'er on the boat.

He wanted to take all the sailors back, but he just asked the manager to arrange some work for the time being, but if the Zheng family had a suitable job for them, it would be fine to let them stay here.

Zheng's family has a great career and a lot of work, but if those women want to stay, they must have a skill...

In just two days, the men rescued from the water bandits were arranged to work, but the Zheng family only had about thirty women.

If everyone is sold, no matter how many people in the Zheng family are, they can get rid of it. However, Jiang Zhen hopes that those people can be independent and have a job that can support themselves, which is more troublesome. At the same time, many of those women, Shuang'er, dare not follow the Zheng family.

However, with more than 30 people missing, the rest is easier to arrange.

It was not safe to keep these women Shuang'er living on the boat. After Jiang Zhen confirmed that the house that the Zheng family gave him was big enough to settle these people, he decided to take them to the capital and let them work in the house.

The ready-to-wear pieces made by these people before were pretty good, so they could definitely keep doing this.

"Take them to the capital?" Brother Zhao Jin was a little unhappy when he heard Jiang Zhen's plan.

"Well. I'm impatient with contacting these people. You can take care of them then." Jiang Zhen said.

Brother Zhao Jin was immediately happy.

After all the work was over, Jiang Zhen and his group entered Beijing in a mighty manner.

The seats given to Jiang Zhen by the Zheng family are not good. There are no officials living on the left and right, but the place is very large and it is a large courtyard with three entrances.

This is the first time that Brother Zhao Jin saw such a big house, which is so rare. After looking around, he chose the largest and most luxurious house, which is the main house in the second entrance for himself and Jiang Zhen to live in, and then stuffed all the women into the third entrance courtyard, which is commonly known as the backyard.

There were many houses in the backyard, and there was no problem living in sixty or seventy women. Brother Zhao Jin assigned a room for them, and then told them that food or meat would be delivered on time, so that they could not leave the yard.

He is... planning to lock all these people in the backyard.

After Jiang Zhen found out, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You can choose a few older people, honest and honest ones to come out to work." This house is so big, people have to arrange for cleaning...

"That's right..." Brother Zhao Jin's face turned red, and he went to the backyard again, picked out some of them, either old or ugly, and went to the front yard to clean and cook.

The people who came from Hexi Village were brought here by Jiang Zhen. Jiang Zhen also picked some from the sailors to supplement them. The food for so many people must be found to be helpful.

Neither Liu Qianqian nor Zhao Lingxi left.

This one is because they found a job they can do - embroidery, and the other is because they are worried that if they follow the Zheng family, they will fall into some miserable situations.

They do want to live a good life with a man, but they don't want to be ruined.

If it weren't for this, Liu Qianqian wouldn't have tried every means to redeem herself.

Although Jiang Zhen was not wise, he was at least a decent person and would not harm them.

But why doesn’t such a man like them? Instead, he likes that Brother Zhao Jin?

Whether it is Liu Qianqian or Zhao Lingxi, they are inevitably a little jealous of Brother Zhao Jin. Seeing Brother Zhao Jin going back and forth, they have to say a few sour words.

"Is this a plan to let Mr. Jiang see a group of crooked melons and cracked dates every day?"

"Jealous to eat like this?"

"Even if you keep us all shut, there are still a lot of beauties outside!"
