Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 057

The next day, Xia Xun and Xiao Jingtang had another long talk. After knowing the grievances between Yang Xu and his son and the family, Xia Xun became more confident, and he began to confide his plan to Xiao Guanshi: "Xiao Uncle, I have been in Qingzhou for the past few years, and the business is booming. On the one hand, Uncle Xiao, you manage well, and on the other hand, it is also because we are next to the big tree of King Qi.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages to being around such a powerful person. In order to raise funds to build the palace, Prince Qi is now starting to take risks. It became a scapegoat.We have a big family and a big business now, so we can't afford to take this risk.Besides, I plan to stay in my hometown after I get married. Our old house cannot be abandoned there forever.

We have to go back, what should we do with King Qi?It is not easy to climb this big tree, and it is also not easy to leave it.I have already said to Prince Qi that it will take a few months to go back and forth to Beiping, and it will take another few months to go back to my hometown to get married. With the permission of the prince, I can find someone to help me manage his business.I want to take this opportunity to move all our main industries and funds back to the south of the Yangtze River, and slowly distance ourselves from King Qi. "

Xiao Jingtang is a down-to-earth businessman. When Yang Wenxuan was eager for quick success and followed the path of the king of Qi, he felt that it was wrong. He once advised Yang Xu. Now when he heard Xia Xun say this, Xiao Jingtang couldn't help being overjoyed: "No wonder you It is said that a man can only be like a man when he is married, look at my young master, he has just planned to get married, and his way of thinking is much more solid and stable than before. "

Xiao Jingtang praised repeatedly, and the master and servant started to act after planning. Some current accounts of the Yang family began to be cleaned up, and some properties that were neither loss nor profit began to be put on public sale.

The shopkeeper Lin Bei Xia Lin of Lin Yang's pawnshop was very happy, because that Yang Wenxuan was so kind and willing to let him redeem the shares currently owned by Yang Wenxuan and withdraw from the operation of Lin Yang's pawnshop.Shopkeeper Lin drank half a jar of fine wine in his excitement, ran to the ancestral hall and knelt for half the night, crying and laughing, and happily raised money the next day.

The most profitable stores in the property originally under the name of Yang Wenxuan cannot be sold by ordinary means. No matter how loyal Yang Wenxuan is, there is no reason to sell all his properties in order to collect money for the transaction to Beiping for King Qi Besides, although the sum of money is huge, it will not let Yang Wenxuan go bankrupt.If there is such a big fanfare, it will definitely attract suspicion, but what is the proper way to send out these hot potatoes, the two of them discussed for a long time, but they did not come up with a way.

This afternoon, Xia Xun was sitting in his study racking his brains on how to transfer his main property to others with a plausible reason. After the handover between the owner and the palace, Xia Xun had no choice but to put aside his concerns for the time being, and rushed to Xinqi Palace with Peng Ziqi and Xiao Huo.

What is the most eye-catching thing in Qingzhou City recently?

It wasn't Feng Jianxiao from the state government office who died of colic, or Yang Wenxuan, the golden old man who decided to go back to his ancestral home to get married next spring, and it wasn't Ms. Miaoyi, the young owner of Shengchuntang Pharmacy, who was planning to recruit a wife.

Feng Jianxiao died suddenly, and the only ones who were sad were his crying landlord and few colleagues in the state government; Yang Wenxuan was going to get married, and the only ones who lost was Ms. Miaoyi and some people who had emotional entanglements with him, but because they never dared to He took the initiative to contact him, so the lady of the family who has not surfaced until now; and Miss Sun Miaoyi came to the door, and the only thing she cared about was the shopkeeper and the guys of the Sun family.

The shopkeeper and fellow members of the Sun family have already secretly set up a bet on whether the young lady will have a son after she gets married, which will change the fate of two consecutive generations of the Sun family's hen to wake the morning and recruit a son-in-law. In this bet, it is inevitable that Mentioning the members of Geng, it is said that Mrs. Xuelian can give birth to Ms. Miaoyi, which means that the wife can give birth, but after the wife recruits Geng's salary, she has nothing. This is obviously a problem with Geng's salary.

So Geng Yuanwai was secretly ridiculed by the servants of his house again, Geng Xin was not ignorant of these things, and the sudden killing intent in his heart became stronger.He wants to take revenge for the humiliation that the Sun family has given him over the years, and he wants to be a man with pride

Once a criminal idea is germinated, it is like a seed full of vitality, which quickly takes root and sprouts and grows up.

For the whole Qingzhou, the most eye-catching thing now is Prince Qi's house repair.

King Qi repaired the house, causing many people to demolish the house.Of course the house was not demolished, and those rich gentry and wealthy households spent a lot of effort in running the house. Once the house was razed to the ground, the loss could be imagined. The bill is still worth it.

So the Qi Wang Mansion continued to be built vigorously. The surrounding residents saw that the high-rise building was built with their money, and their hearts were bleeding. However, the ordinary people in Qingzhou City were elated. A large number of employment opportunities have been provided, and many industries in Qingzhou have been provided with a large amount of income. Even small businesses have followed suit. There are vendors selling snacks and various daily necessities everywhere around the New Palace.

Xia Xun came to the location of the new palace, first met with his own steward, and then busy with the palace to check the goods, handover, and after these things are done, look at the palace that has just seen its scale, and simply take Peng Ziqi with him. Xiao Huo started wandering around.

In terms of architectural style, interior decoration, and staffing, the palace is very similar to the imperial palace in Beijing, except that it is smaller in scale and has a smaller number of people.In the palace, there are Changshi Division, Trial Office, Dianshan Office, Enshrining Office, Dianbao Office, Jishan Office, Good Doctor Office, Dian Dai Office, Justice Office, as well as companions, professors, citations, court uniforms, admiration, etc. Palace ladies, inner eunuchs, etc. are all available, so it can be imagined that it occupies a large area.

However, King Qi was not born well enough. No matter how he built it, the size and grandeur of his palace could not compete with King Yan's Yuan Palace, so he tried his best to make it magnificent.The entire Xinqi Prince's Mansion is planned to cover an area of ​​[-] hectares, with more than a thousand palaces and towers, on a grand scale.

Now the Wangfu has begun to take shape. The two four-pillar and three-door archway-style stone archways on the corridor in front of the Wangfu, which are commonly known as the "Wuchao Gate" by the people, are made of materials from Yang's Xishipengzhai stone factory. As soon as the carved stone pillars, stone platforms, and stone workshops arrived, they were ordered by the workers of the Gongzheng Institute to build them.

These two stone squares are each composed of 28 huge stones. The bases are in the shape of Xu Mi, and are divided into upper, middle and lower layers. They are lions, unicorns, peonies and lotus flowers, with diamond lion patterns engraved on the corners.The stone pillars on the base are two feet high, with openwork dragons, and the horizontal plaque on the top of the pillars is a relief pattern of two dragons playing with pearls.

The auspicious words on the horizontal plaque, such as "Le Shan Yifeng", "Xiang Xian Yong Yu", "Filial Friends, Loving and Benevolent", and "Great Elegance and No Group", are said to have been specially invited to the Hanzhong Prefecture of Shaanxi Province by Fang Xiaoru, a professor of the prefecture. The characters were engraved on the stone plaque after they were brought back.A stone workshop is so exquisite, one can imagine how huge the construction projects of the entire palace are.

Xia Xun was standing outside the "Wuchao Gate", watching the magnificent, exquisite and generous stone workshop being built, when Li Gong and Zeng Mingshen, the small officials of Qingzhou Prefecture, were also standing there watching the fun, Li Gong said angrily : "Qi Prince's Mansion was built less than 20 years ago, and it took a lot of people's fat and money to rebuild it. I am not long after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, how many family assets can support the princes so squandering?"

Zeng Ming sighed deeply: "It's just that, that's all. The prince also cleverly set up a name to collect people's wealth and make people complain. It's a pity that you and I are so soft-spoken that we can't listen to the heavens. Those officials who are qualified to write to the court are all ignorant. I only know how to be wise and protect myself, otherwise, I must read his book."

Li Gong snorted coldly: "How to participate? If it wasn't for the emperor's permission, would King Qi dare to rebuild the palace?"

Zeng Jian smiled bitterly and said: "That's right, the emperor is diligent and thrifty, and has never been extravagant. With the respect of the emperor, the emperor's three meals a day are nothing more than a bowl of rice, two side dishes, and a head of garlic. There are no delicacies from mountains and seas. I heard A good friend of Jinhua Mansion said that last year they presented a bag of fragrant rice to the emperor. The bag of rice was returned to Jinhua, and the local officials in Jinhua were asked to get some seeds. The emperor took his servants to open paddy fields in the royal garden and planted them for food. The emperor is so strict with himself that he is a model in the world It's just for the princes... why do you spoil them so much?"

The two little officials sighed unceasingly, Xia Xun felt a little guilty listening to it, although King Qi might have done something absurd and outrageous if he didn't offer advice, this time the people who used the encirclement to blackmail were also rich people, yes The common people in the local area were not affected, but he still felt guilty when he heard the two officials talking face to face.

Now he was not in the mood to continue reading, he hurriedly greeted Peng Ziqi and Xiaodi, and left the palace construction site.Go out of the front door and turn right, not far from the street is a row of colorful shed stalls, selling snacks, clothes, and all kinds of jewelry.

"Huh? So beautiful"

Just when he came to a stall, Xiaodi's eyes lit up, and he rushed over.This stall sells head ornaments from my daughter's family, so the small business naturally doesn't have any expensive materials, so I have carefully thought about the fancy colors, and those jewelry head and face looks very bright.

What Xiaodi looks like is a comb, that is, a comb, which is a hair cleaning tool used by both men and women, but for women, it has another function, that is, it can be used as a hair ornament, so women The grates used are refurbished, and there are many styles.

The comb that Xiaodi saw was made in the shape of a butterfly, which is very delicate and lifelike at first glance. The patterns and colors on the comb follow the shape of a butterfly, and the two wings of the butterfly are used to comb the hair. Ingenuity The masterful hand is amazing.

But just as Xiaodi stretched out his hand, a catkin as white as jade and delicate as an orchid reached out, and both hands touched the comb at the same time.
