Chapter 28 Return (Part 2)
"Xiaojiu, do you think Zhao Chengzong was intentional?" Pan Weidedao. From the bottom of his heart, he still didn't want what happened today. The emperor was too arrogant to this brother-in-law.
"Who knows."
Logically speaking, no, even Zhao Kuangyi was not very clear about Song Jiu's entire plan. Before Hezhou and Henan were connected, Hebei was also a beneficiary, and Zhao Pu did not need to do anything to him for the time being. But it was hard to say, or Zhao Chengzong was also jealous and deliberately met Wang Jixun, and then released the news and handed the diamonds to Wang Jixun to make himself uncomfortable. That's it, Song Jiu must be patient for the time being. Wang Jixun is not afraid, Zhao Pu is too terrible.
When he arrived at the Song family, Pan Lian'er was sitting behind and talking to Zhu San's wife.
Seeing them coming back, I came over nervously and asked, "What did the uncle say?"
"You are not filial to me," Song Jiu sighed. Wang Jixun asked his subordinates to harm Ma Renyu. Zhao Kuangyin did not act stubbornly. He instead led Ma Renyu out of the magistrate of Mizhou. It was not considered an promotion. Ma Renyu was a real colonel and commander. There were only more than 30 people in the entire Song Dynasty, but he was only transferred at the same level. He asked him to avoid disaster. How could he not ruin such a habit? Take a look at that, so many yamen, including Fu Yanqing's children, Gao Huaide's children, Shi Baozheng and others were all afraid of Wang Jixun.
Song Jiu said something about the incident lightly.
The brothers in the war, father and son soldiers went to war. Facing such a cruel uncle, Pan Weide actually dared to pull his collar. Song Jiu was still very moved. Pan Lian'er touched his chest and said, "The two kings and Zhao Chengzong are also mixed in, that's good, that's good."
"Little sister, go home." Pan Weidedao.
"I……"
"You haven't gotten married yet, so you often come and run away in a bad mood."
Song Jiu watched his brother-in-law pull Pan Lian'er home with laughter and cry.
...
The cold wind was howling outside. Yuping got up very early and boiled water for Song Jiu. Fortunately, with a coal stove, it became convenient to boil water. Then she called Song Jiu to wash and comb. Generally, Song Jiu was unwilling to serve him, so at most he asked Yuping to comb his hair occasionally. If he didn't shave his hair, his hair was too long and he had to tie it up, which was very troublesome. Song Jiu brushed his teeth and washed his face, and Yuping made millet porridge.
Song Jiu complained while washing his face: "It's too cold outside."
Not only was he cold, but he also got up so early, causing chaos in his biological clock.
In fact, she was a judge for thirteen months. Song Jiu did not take it seriously. The judge only had the right to review and no right to discuss matters. What she saw was a bunch of boring data. Song Jiu was not as aware of being an official at all. But Yuping was very serious, especially when she went to the morning court. Every morning court, she didn't dare to sleep all night. Fortunately, there were many festivals in the Song Dynasty. There were many festivals in the big and small festivals, and it was too much for a year, so she could have holidays for nearly three months. In addition, Song Jiu went there for thirteen months. Including today, she only had fifteen morning courts.
If you don’t count on duty or sacrifices, you don’t have to get up very early. Like Song Jiu’s usual living time, he caught up with it. Then he went home early in the afternoon.
After a while, the millet porridge was fragrant. Song Jiu drank the millet porridge and ate cooked chickens and said while eating: "Yuping. In a few days, someone will probably send gifts to you one after another. If you don't accept them, let Cui'er take them. If the villagers of Lianghe River or the parents of students come over, let Cui'er tell them that the gifts must not exceed fifty cents."
"good."
"But every household must send it to both parties."
“Why?”
"One is your gift. If you don't have a family member, let the people of both rivers be your family member."
"Kyuro."
"However, there is one thing that must be collected after May next year."
Yuping looked at Song Jiu in confusion.
"I have thought about it carefully. If all the villagers in Shundian were to hold a wedding banquet, there would be no more people in the Lianghe River. The wine table would definitely not be available, especially the Pan family had many noble people. If there was any verbal conflict, it would be unsightly. Therefore, in the ordinary wine shops in Hezhou, we will choose a good day to hold a wedding banquet in Shundian, and then we will be able to host a wedding banquet in Shundian. This will reduce your grievances, that is, you have to wait."
"Jiulang, no, I'm just a concubine."
"Wife and concubine are just a kind of praise. Whether it is a wife or a concubine, in my heart, you are always my family."
"Kyuro."
"Come on, hug me, I'll go to the morning court." Song Jiu wiped his mouth with a towel, gave Yuping a warm hug, and rode his horse to the imperial city.
After entering the Wai Lu Courtyard, many ministers looked at Song Jiu strangely. There were several things happening in Hezhou yesterday, such as the transfer of profits of Liuli Workshop, the large amount of dividends in advance, Wang Jixun's blackmail, and Song Jiu's punishment. But the key is the latter two.
Going to morning court.
At the end of the year, we have summarized the report and planned for the next year. There are no such statements now, but similarly, there are more memorials. Some things are important, while others are not important. Now there are many military generals in the court, but they are not. Many of them are from military clerks, and they have internal strife, but they are more concise in their work. This is not like a hundred years later, under the guidance of scholars and officials, etiquette becomes extremely complicated, and they use long-term discussions to attack the other party. If Sima Guang had been through a hundred years ago, he would be disappointed and cry. If these officials had traveled a hundred years ago, they could be mad by those literati. In fact, Song Jiu agreed with this point. Although government affairs gradually became redundant, they should be more efficient than in the future.
There seemed to be many memorials, but they were almost the same soon.
While preparing to disperse the court, the edict was announced. Song Jiu had a dispute over profit, and the influence was bad, and he was fined for one year.
It depends on whoever is fined. If an official like Zhao Qi is usually well-behaved, honest, and has no industry or other sources of income. It is fatal to fine salary. Zhao Pu used this trick to force Zhao Qi to step down voluntarily. Otherwise, if the Zhao Qi family would be fined twice at a time, the northwest wind would have to drink. However, it doesn't matter to Song Jiu. The one-year salary would be a drizzle on Song Jiu.
Not a serious punishment.
Song Jiu also expected that Wang Jixun would stop Wang Jixun and continue to expand his shares. Wang Jixun would definitely find Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin cannot say that you did the right thing. Can blackmail still encourage it? This is against Wang Jixun. If others do this, as Zhao Kuangyi said, a huge number of 20,000 yuan may be beheaded and abandoned. But I have to comfort him. At the same time, Wang Jixun is notorious and is afraid that other ministers will cause trouble. So he punished himself slightly.
Song Jiu was still very disappointed.
Don’t say that the diamond was given to him by Qian Chu, even if the diamond was bought by Wang Jixun, it was not wrong to make it. Fortunately, Hezhou cannot do without himself for the time being. Otherwise, he might be released.
After the court came, Chu Zhaofu said to Song Jiu: "You can do it."
"I don't want to do it either. If I get anxious, I will really withdraw from Hezhou, not just talking about it."
"You said your Majesty is unfair."
Song Jiu could not say that Zhao Kuangyin was unfair, and said, "Chi Shi Envoy, my official titles and salary are rewarded by Your Majesty. Your Majesty only has a one-year salary. How dare you say that it is unfair? I am worried that Your Majesty will harm the uncle if he does this."
"Song Jiu, the Wang family is weak, and the father-in-law is old and has a son, so he is inevitably a little favored. The uncle has a son late, so he only has one son, and he is only three years old now, so Your Majesty cannot bear to deal with it."
"Chu Si Envoy, don't say anything, do you think the uncle can teach you good children?" But Song Jiu was also afraid of something unexpected. This was a lunatic. God knew what he could do. The worst thing was that even if he broke the sky, Zhao Kuangyin kept him with a huge hand. Song Jiu simply rented a house in Hezhou and asked his fifth sister and fifth brother-in-law to hand over the inn to the supervisor for some work. He moved to Hezhou together. Anyway, the three sisters gave each of them five hundred pieces of money and asked them to buy the deeds. This dividend was enough for them to pay. I originally wanted to give it a little more, but I didn't want it. Let them go to Hezhou to take care of some things. My family members were relieved. As for that small inn, if Wang Jixun was happy, he would smash it.
Guo Da went to the market to invite two people back, one called Ma Chun and the other named Wu Ping. Song Jiu didn't know how good he was, but he must be smart. He should prepare an empty house to put the dowry, squeeze it first and let them help watch the home.
If people are in Hezhou, they will be basically safe. Unless Wang Jixun comes forcibly with a regular army, he probably won't have the courage.
A few days later, my fifth brother-in-law and his family moved here.
Even the yamen were afraid, let alone their family.
The fifth sister first complained about Song Jiu, and Song Jiu was timid. Then she asked someone to carve the second book. She didn't print many, and only planned to print two thousand books. One thousand books were kept for teaching. The other thousand books were sold to the public, and the price was not expensive. Although it was thin, it was only 100 cents. The next year, it was not as expected. It was not unsold or popular. Some people bought it, but it was still the same kind of buying it without knowing why.
However, there are more and more tourists in the upper reaches of Hezhou, and they never stop from day to night. Many shops bring more popularity, and the singing halls are all equipped with glass. This time it is red glass, the main building is round, with two floors on top, which is larger than the circle below, just like wearing a big hat on top or like a red mushroom. It is the place for formal performances, with five floors in total, and the three floors below are not high, and they dare not be high, otherwise the performers' singing voices below will not be heard on the third floor. The fourth floor is rehearsal and the placement of props. The fifth floor is
There is also a three-story restaurant. There is a two-story kitchen next to it, but there is also a storage room below, and then a layer of round undulating waves is built on the ground to let light shine in. As well as a place for Masi and artists to rest, etc., the same is true for six or seven small building houses, including the courtyard wall. There is a small round mushroom every distance, but there is a round mirror below, and the top is a red roof. There are many murals of theater scenes on the courtyard wall. The inside is not decorated and has not been opened to the public for the time being. However, the shape is very beautiful.
The small courtyards in the southwest are also built very elegantly.
Therefore, it has become one of the first attractions for tourists from other places to visit, not the first. The first is Yu Street and you can also see the imperial city outside. The royal family is now extremely attractive to people. The second is Xiangguo Temple and Hezhou, which have almost the same status. Xiangguo Temple is also lively.
And without the expectations of Song Jiu and other merchants, many stores began bulk transactions. This is just the beginning, and the business atmosphere here will be more developed in the future.
My elder sister's store is not good, and she has been worried after renting it out, but it's okay after opening it. At least it's better than her small restaurant, which is not that she is too disappointed. Besides, Song Jiu also said that there is a square in front of her in the future, and once it is laid out, there will be more tourists. After the actual store is opened, the most nervous one is Zhao Chengzong, who is worried that the business will be snatched away. However, he is also surprised that Hebei's business has increased instead of decreasing. He cannot blame him, even Zhao Pu may not be able to understand the benign interaction after the formation of the business circle.
In this calm atmosphere, the Pan and Song families were silently decorating. The Song family's house was tense, which forced the Pan family to simplify the complex, otherwise the Song family would not be able to let go of the large amount of dowry.
On the tenth day of the lunar month, Song Jiu returned home from Sansi.
As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he saw more than twenty horses tied outside. He immediately turned over and got off the horse, afraid something would happen. As soon as he entered the door, Dr. Yan, who was basking in the sun and drinking tea on the balcony, shouted: "Song Jiu, General Pan is here."
