I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 440
Muxiangju.

Zhan Feiyu put down the book and glanced out the window, "What time is it?"

He Nuan lit the mosquito repelling incense, "It's almost time, the sixth young master of the Jin family has been waiting in the side hall for about a quarter of an hour."

Glancing at the greeting card on the corner of the table, Zhan Feiyu stood up, "Go and have a look."

I have already drank two cups of tea. Although it is not yet the appointed time, as the sixth young master of the Jin family, no matter which house Jin Xu visits, the host will come to receive him immediately. How can he be left alone like today? In the side hall.

But when he thought of the black coffins placed in the Yizhuang, even though he was dissatisfied in his heart, Jin Xu didn't show it, and sipped the tea slowly with a teacup.

After a while, when he heard footsteps outside, Jin Xu put down his teacup and stood up, tidied his robes and walked towards the door, laughing loudly: "Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Miss Zhan is well."

Jin Xu's facial features are handsome, his temperament is elegant, he doesn't have the vulgarity of merchants in his body, and his wide-sleeved brocade robe looks more like a literati who has read a lot of poetry and books.

"I'm late, please forgive me, Sixth Young Master." Zhan Feiyu smiled politely, and beckoned Jin Xu to sit down. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Shopkeeper Tian kneeling in the corner, but the expression on his face remained the same.

This calmness is not like a ten-year-old girl. Jin Xu sat down again, and after some polite greetings, he explained the purpose of coming, "I offended you at Sheng Hexuan yesterday, please forgive me, Miss Zhan."

Jin Xu stood up and bowed solemnly to Zhan Feiyu. Wang Yanyue was his wife, and the husband and wife were one. As a husband, he could only bow down and be a little girl to apologize to a little girl.

Unceremoniously asking He Nuan to accept the gift list, Zhan Feiyu smiled and said, "Young Master Six, you are being polite, it was just a quarrel."

"Thank you for your generosity, my wife has always been domineering, and I don't know how many people I have offended in Minhe Mansion." Jin Xu didn't care about revealing his shortcomings.

Glancing at Shopkeeper Tian, ​​who was tied up by Wuhuada, his smile changed, and Jin Xu said seriously: "Shopkeeper Tian, ​​as a servant of my Jin family, you know that Miss Zhan is a noble person, why didn't you stop her at that time?"

Kneeling in the middle of the main hall under escort, shopkeeper Tian didn't have any wounds on his body at first glance, but the pale face, coupled with the sweat all over his face, let people know that shopkeeper Tian was definitely injured.

"It's all the villain's fault. It's the villain's fault. Don't believe the rumors that the Sixth Young Master and the Fourth Young Master are at odds, so you think of using the Sixth Madam to plot against the Sixth Young Master. man this time."

After finishing speaking, shopkeeper Tian kowtowed his head bang bang, just for Mrs. Liu's temper. At that time, shopkeeper Tian couldn't stop it if he wanted to.

Of course, the Fourth Young Master and the Sixth Young Master did not get along. Whether Shopkeeper Tian deliberately plotted against the Sixth Madam, thus indirectly making the Sixth Young Master and Zhan Feiyu an enemy, probably only the Shopkeeper Tian knew.

But no matter what, Jin Xu is the master, shopkeeper Tian is a servant, it doesn't matter whether there is evidence or not, if the conflict happened in Sheng Hexuan, shopkeeper Tian has an inescapable responsibility, even the fourth young master can't protect him.

Jin Xu didn't stay long in Muxiangju. After all, everyone knew that Zhan Feiyu studied hard, and spent the rest of his day reading except for eating and sleeping.

Asking people to put away the teacup, and cleaning up the blood stains left by shopkeeper Shang Tian when he kowtowed, He Nuan said, "Jin Xu wants to use Miss's hand to slap the Fourth Young Master of the Jin family in the face."

Shopkeeper Tian belonged to the fourth young master of the Jin family. If Zhan Feiyu was a narrow-minded person, shopkeeper Tian would not be able to leave Muxiangju with all his hands and feet today.

Of course, even if Zhan Feiyu didn't pursue it, but according to Jin Xu's practice, shopkeeper Tian would not end well when he returned to the Jin family, and there might be a way out if he was sold out. One meal, and one life is probably gone.

"The Jin family has a great career, and the most important thing is servants." Zhan Feiyu once again realized that in the Daqing Dynasty, the servants who signed the contract of selling their lives had long lost their human rights, and their life and death were at the whim of their masters.

Shopkeeper Tian was only Sheng Hexuan's shopkeeper after all, even if he was killed, it would not be a loss to the Fourth Young Master, at most it would be a loss of face.

But in contrast, Mrs. Six was kicked and lay on the bed, and Jin Xu even lost face. He pressed Shopkeeper Tian to make amends. Young Master Liu just saved a little face.

"Ke Tian shopkeeper..." He Nuan is not a soft-hearted person, but looking at the ground that has been wiped clean, and the battle between the young masters of the Jin family, shopkeeper Tian is just a victim, and he can't help feeling chilling.

Zhan Feiyu let out a long sigh, looked at He Nuan and smiled leisurely, "People are swords and I'm fish, you can't break the game unless you study."

"Today's Miss Shi is not finished yet." When He Nuan opened his mouth, he was not surprised to see Zhan Feiyu with round eyes and a look of lovelessness, and he also laughed.

……

The news that Jin Xu, the sixth young master of the Jin family, came to visit with generous gifts spread throughout Minhe Mansion in a very short period of time, and there was another news that spread along with it.

"The news is confirmed?" Third Young Master Min grinned grinningly, and the teacup in his hand was crushed with a click, "Zhan Feiyu can barely be regarded as a fake tiger, what kind of thing is their Jin family!"

The staff signaled the servant girl to come forward and wait for the third son of Min to wipe his hands, "A strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake. The Jin family has been domineering in Minhe Mansion these years, and even Yuan Zhifu has to avoid it by three points. I don't know how powerful the world is."

"It's just a lowly businessman." As the second prince's natal family, the third son Min even looked down on Zhan Feiyu, but after all, she was also a noble scholar, studied under Gu Xueshi, and was protected by the Forbidden Dragon Guard.

The Jin family is just a merchant, not even an imperial merchant in the Daqing Dynasty. They dared to cut off the Hu family so boldly. The third son Min sneered, "Send out the news that the Jin family wants to cut off the Hu roster. I want to see the Jin family." How strong is this ground snake!"

Following Zhan Feiyu's various forces from Suzhou Mansion to Minhe Mansion, according to Mr. Min's judgment, three of them are related to the prince in the palace, and the rest are also aristocratic families in the capital.

Of course, the whereabouts of the forces of all parties are extremely secretive, and this is only the rough inference of the third son of Min.

"My lord, did Zhan Feiyu release this news on purpose?" The staff also disliked the Jin family's actions, but the spies even found out the news that Jin Xu had offered 50 taels. It was Zhan Feiyu's intention to hear the wind.

"Murder with a borrowed knife?" The third son of Min squinted his eyes gloomyly, remembering the previous contact with Zhan Feiyu, "The Jin family has done so many murders and extortions over the years, but there is no evidence on the surface, Yuan Zhifu checked In a few years, they can only catch those low-level characters. The Jin family is very careful, and this news is more than the news. Zhan Feiyu deliberately released it, but so what? The Jin family is indeed planning to buy the roster past us!"

This is what the third son of Min hates the most. He is just a merchant. He knew that the Min family wanted to buy this roster, and even went to the bank to get the silver, but the Jin family dared to cut off the beard. Put Min San in your eyes!
Almost after the third son Min spread the news, several forces tacitly attacked the Jin family. They didn't dare to offend a little girl like Zhan Feiyu. Shang Saye, since the Jin family wants to seek death, they will fulfill him!

……

Since the government office was burned and the master of the command department was beheaded by Yin Wuyan in the street, in just five days, the current Minhe Mansion has become even more chaotic.

The soldiers and horses of the command department and the policemen of the yamen patrolled the market in shifts, but they still couldn't stop the chaotic situation.

"My lord, take care of your health." As Lord Yao's personal entourage, Xiao Zibai's tone is not hard to hear the anger towards the culprits like Zhan Feiyu. If they hadn't messed around, Minhe Mansion wouldn't be in such a mess, and your lord would not. Not so busy all night long.

Thick official documents were piled up on the desk, and the tired Master Yao rubbed his brows, "It's just a busy few days, just wait for the news from Beijing."

"Zhan Feiyu is simply a disaster. Wherever he goes, he will be a disaster!" Xiao Zibai was annoyed. His Excellency is the chief envoy of Longyou Road, but because Zhan Feiyu had to rush to the Suzhou government to deal with Zhang Zhifu being killed. case.

As a result, the matter in Suzhou Mansion has not been fully investigated. When Zhan Feiyu arrived in Minhe Mansion, who knew that Minhe Mansion was even more chaotic.

In broad daylight, there were people robbing the shop in the street, even killing the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper. It was even rumored that a group of Jiangyang thieves were robbing the caravan. One murder after another, Mr. Yao naturally got busy in his position.
