Mr. Zheng Er is now highly valued by the Queen Mother, and he has steadfastly stabilized and did not join any cronies under the circumstance that the ministers in the DPRK and the central government have formed a party... Jiang Zhen and Zheng Yi both knew that if he had prepared earlier, he would definitely Can find the right person to take over the Hongjiang Salt Works.
However, Jiang Zhen is still not very good at these things, so he didn't say much.
After Zheng Yi and Jiang Zhen talked about the Hongjiang Salt Works, they told the story of Shen Anxin: "The person who bought the Jiang family was Shen Anxin."
"Is it him?" Jiang Zhen was taken aback. After Shen Anxin's confession last time, he never saw him again. He really didn't expect this person to come out like this.
"There should be Feng Jingyuan intervening in it." Zheng Yi said again, he was very angry when he heard the news at first, and he didn't say anything, but in fact he had already made up his mind to teach Shen Anxin some lessons in private, but later...
After seeing how Feng Jingyuan and Shen Anxin were fighting, and seeing that Shen Anxin refused to say anything, it was obvious that he was in a wrong state. He guessed a little bit.
After guessing, it is not good to do anything to Shen Anxin. Of course, it is impossible for him to continue to cooperate with Shen Anxin.
Jiang Zhen has been thinking about his own future for the past few days, and almost forgot about it. After hearing what Zheng Yi said, after a little thought, he agreed with Zheng Yi's approach.
Now, he doesn't want to have any contact with Shen Anxin at all, and he doesn't want to get to the bottom of why he did it.
"And the people from the Jiang family... There are a lot of people staring at you now. You can't do anything to them, but you can change the village and let them live far away from you." Zheng Yi said again.
Jiang Chengxiang and Jiang Chengcai were taken by him for interrogation before, but he couldn't keep holding people, he always let them go.
He wanted to send people away at first, but who knows if someone else will make a fuss about them? After much deliberation, he felt that it would be better to find another village near Hecheng County to settle them, and then pay attention to the people.
"Just send it to Qiaotou Village." Jiang Zhendao said that the escorts under him now have the most people in Qiaotou Village, except He Xicun. If the Jiang family goes to Qiaotou Village, he can naturally watch closely.
"Then do it like this." Zheng Yi said, directly set the matter, and immediately ordered people to do it well.
After solving the follow-up incidents caused by Zhou Maohe's sudden arrival, Zheng Yi and Jiang Zhen talked about the construction of the Qingfeng Tower in Fucheng, and also mentioned the distilled liquor that Jiang Zhen mentioned before.
The Zheng family has a special brewing workshop. After Zheng Yi mentioned it to the craftsmen in the workshop, the craftsmen got busy. By now, they have made some distilled wine.
"The wine that has been distilled according to the method you said is indeed very mellow and tastes very good. It takes a lot of wine to distill a small jar. The food consumed by this wine is really incredible." Zheng Yi thought of the wine and lightly sighed.
Wine is indeed good wine, but if this method spreads, everyone will make this kind of wine one after another... Then the consumption of food will be too much.
Now, there are still many people in Daqi who can't get enough to eat. If this wine spreads out... the court will definitely issue a ban on drinking.
"This is the secret recipe of Qingfenglou. It must be kept secret. There are also these wines. We will sell them in limited quantities every day, and not many." Jiang Zhen said: "Before that, we must first give some to the Empress Dowager."
Although the queen mother is not good at drinking, it is still necessary to give some good things to the boss and flatter the boss.
"You actually know all this?" Zheng Yi looked at Jiang Zhen in surprise. He always thought that Jiang Zhen didn't know about the twists and turns in the officialdom.
"I know everything I should know, but I'm just not used to doing it." Jiang Zhendao, he knows many routines, and he didn't think about it before, but it was just impatient.
Zheng Yi and Jiang Zhen talked for a long time, until it was almost dark, and they finally talked about it. Looking at the sky, Zheng Yi simply asked someone to go back and report that he was going to live here.
"Wait," the little servant who reported the letter was about to leave, when Zheng Yi suddenly stopped him again: "After you go back to the manor, go find your wife, and ask her if she wants, why not take the child to Hexi Village tomorrow. "
"Yes, young master." The boy responded and left immediately.
There are many empty houses in the Zhao family, and Jiang Zhen soon asked someone to help Zheng Yi clean up one.
These houses, built by Jiang Zhen very neatly, look nothing new and very ordinary, but because he is willing to use bricks and build thick walls, they are very heat-insulating, warm in winter and cool in summer, and they are still very comfortable to live in.
Zheng Yi disliked the furnishings in the room, but after going to bed, he slept very well, and even overslept. Finally, the sound of the drill near the dock woke him up, and he got up from the bed.
The Zhao family had already woken up and went out, but Li Shi and Ruo'er had been waiting for him to wake up and prepared a hot and fragrant breakfast for him and the people who were serving him.
There are two breakfast notes, one is fried buns, and the other is white rice porridge. In addition, there are seven or eight kinds of side dishes such as fried peanuts and pickled radishes.
Zheng Yi was extremely satisfied with his meal, and in the end, he ate almost all of these things. After eating, he took a fried dough stick that had just been fried, and then he took someone and walked leisurely to the pier.
At this moment, it wasn't long before dawn, but the people in Jin Zhen's Escort Agency were already busy, but although they were busy, everything seemed to be in good order. Zheng Yi watched them come and go, and he felt relaxed and happy.
The school has not yet opened, but there are already many children playing nearby, and some people take pens and write and draw on the ground.
When Zhao Jinge taught those girls and Shuang'er to read yesterday, he told a joke that Jiang Zhen told him, and now, those girls are proudly telling some boys the joke: "There was a man before, Dad. Mother sent him to school, the husband taught him 'one' on the first day, 'two' on the second day, and 'three' on the third day. I have learned it myself. Later, his father wanted to invite a person surnamed Wan to his house for dinner and asked him to write an invitation, but he did not finish it after three days... His father was very strange, and he complained when he asked him. Get up and say that this person's name is too difficult, he has written for three days, and he has not filled 10,000 lines."
The children laughed, and Zheng Yi also listened to the music.
Jiang Zhen trained his subordinates as usual this day, and dealt with some affairs on the pier. When he came back, he saw Zheng Yi lying on a bamboo reclining chair with his legs crossed, surrounded by children, who were giving People tell stories.
Zheng Yi has read books. He has a wide range of knowledge and good eloquence. After a few stories, all the children were fascinated by them, and they all looked at him with admiration.
"It's time for class." Jiang Zhen looked at the time, said to the children, and then saw that they were all running quickly.
"These children look quite afraid of you." Zheng Yi smiled upon seeing this.
It would be strange if they weren't afraid of themselves. When they were fighting before, these children all came to watch... Jiang Zhen responded with a smile, and said, "Master Zheng, your wife is here."
Mrs. Zheng's boat had already docked at his dock.
Hearing this, Zheng Yi immediately stood up from the reclining chair and straightened his clothes: "Come, follow me to pick up your sister-in-law!"
Zheng Yi is actually not much older than Jiang Zhen, and was born a year or two earlier, but Zheng Yi got married early. The eldest son is now seven years old. Besides the eldest son, he has a son and a daughter. The daughter is four years old this year, the youngest. son is two years old.
These three children were all born to Zheng Yi's wife, Zheng Hu. When he came to Hexi Village this time, Zheng Hu brought all three children with him.
There are already many servants of the Zheng family. This time, Zheng Hu brought three little masters together, and more people came with them... In the end, there were 30 or 40 Zheng family members standing on the wharf. next person.
Jiang Zhen had never seen Zheng Hu before, and this was the first time he had seen it. He was not good at looking at other people's female relatives casually, so he just glanced at it, except that he felt that Zheng Hu was good-looking and had a good temperament. Can't even say it.
Jiang Zhen didn't need to contact other people's female relatives. The arrival of Zheng Hu's family did not affect him, but Zhao Liu's family was different from Zhao Jinge. They were going to entertain Zheng Hu's family.
Zheng Hu is a completely different person from them... When Zhao Jinge saw Zheng Hu surrounded by many servants, he felt like he had nowhere to put his hands and feet, but Zheng Hu was very friendly to him and kept smiling and following him. He spoke, but let him relax slowly.
Jiang Zhen has been watching from not far away. After finding that Zhao Jinge has adapted, he breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up Zhao Mingzhu and said to Zheng Yi: "Zheng Shao, do you want to go shopping in the village?"
"Okay." Zheng Yi nodded, thought about it, and asked someone to call his four-year-old daughter and hold him in his arms.
Zheng Yi's daughter was very beautifully dressed, with bright eyes, white teeth, white and fat. Jiang Zhen looked at her and felt that she was just like a little princess. As a result, after the little princess was hugged by Zheng Yi, her whole body froze and her mouth froze. Involuntarily, it opened up, looking stimulated.
"Really, is it okay for Dad to hug you?" Zheng Yi was extremely tangled when he saw his daughter's expression.
The little girl named Zheng Zhen still looked at Zheng Yi in disbelief.
Zheng Yi: "..."
He has never held this child before, but this child doesn't need to show such a look as if the sky is about to fall, right? !
Zheng Yi was a little depressed, but soon, something even more depressing happened - he hugged the little girl for a while, but he couldn't hold it anymore... The nurse in the house is obviously not too tired to hug him for an hour, his Not as strong as a servant girl
Although Zheng Yi frightened his daughter at first, it didn't take long for the little girl to become more natural, and she became very close to Zheng Yi, and the loud "father" was very sweet.
Zheng Yi had never been close to his own children before, and his daughter was so close to him that he inevitably liked her more and more, but he somewhat understood why Jiang Zhen liked holding Zhao Mingzhu so much.
Zheng Yi's family stayed in Hexi Village for a day before leaving. After they left, Zhao Jinge breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Zhen, "Mrs. Zheng is really amazing and knows a lot."
Mrs. Zheng has been very indulgent when chatting with him, but he can still feel that the other party understands a lot of things that he does not understand.
"Zheng Yi too." Jiang Zhen nodded.
"Zheng Shao is very powerful," Zhao Jinge nodded and said again, "By the way, why did Zheng Shao suddenly call his wife and child?"
"He wants to have a good relationship with our family." Jiang Zhen said.
Of course, it is impossible for Zheng Yi to call his wife and children for no reason. In fact, it means that the two families have a good family.
At the beginning, Zheng Yi didn't take him very seriously, he only regarded him as his subordinates, but later he paid more and more attention to him, and now, Zheng Yi has treated him as an equal, and even treated him as an equal. Plan to have a deep relationship.
The next day, Jiang Zhen took Zhao Jinge to the county seat, and after another day, he took Zhao Jinge to the Zheng family's boat, and then went to Fucheng.
They were going to walk around Fucheng, preparing to open a larger Qingfeng Building, and by the way, they gave the "Qingfeng Wine" brewed by the Zheng family according to the "secret recipe" in an ancient book to some people in Fucheng.
This time I went to Fucheng, and Zheng Yi's wife was also there.
Zheng Hu's natal family, the Hu family, is from Fucheng. When Zheng Yi went to Fucheng to run errands, she could just stay at her natal home for a few days.
Zheng Hu was very enthusiastic about Zhao Jinge, but found that Zhao Jinge was different from ordinary women. After chatting with her a little uncomfortable, he stopped looking for Zhao Jinge. Even if he occasionally talked to Zhao Jinge, he only talked about a few children.
When Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge went to Fucheng this time, they brought Zhao Mingzhu with them. The youngest son of the Zheng family was still breastfeeding. The Zheng family raised two wet nurses. Zhao Mingzhu could eat the milk, but Jiang Zhen, who was reluctant to bear his daughter, simply packed her with him.
"You take your daughter wherever you go. In the future, you don't know what your daughter will look like..." Zheng Yi looked at Zhao Mingzhu and said that a girl's house was being led around by Jiang Zhen all day long. This...
"Grow up into a woman that ordinary men would never dare to bully!" Jiang Zhen said without hesitation.
Zheng Yi had a meal, and decided to stop joking with his younger son to let him marry Zhao Mingzhu.
Zheng Yi had a house in Fucheng, and it took everyone a day to settle down. The next day, Zheng Yi took Jiang Zhen and a small jar of Qingfeng wine to visit the prefect of Hexing House.
As we all know, the prefect of Hexing House, he is the best wine.
The prefect of Hexing House is from the north, and he has no friendship with the Zheng family, nor does he hate the Zheng family. If it was in the past, for the sake of Mr. Zheng Er, Zheng Yi would go to see him, and he would definitely meet him, but now...
Zhou Maohe had just made a scene in Hecheng County, the prefect, now made up his mind to stay away from the Zheng family.
"Zheng Yi? Said that I was busy with business and asked him to go back first." The prefect said immediately after learning that Zheng Yi was here.
The servant nodded quickly, went out to answer, and came back after a while.
"Are they gone?" the prefect asked.
"Returning to the adults, the people left, but the ceremony was left." The humane said.
"I don't accept gifts... Sigh... What did you give? Let the madam go to the storeroom to have a look and choose a similar one to send back." The prefect said.
"Sir, it's just a small jar of wine." The servant said: "The villain knows that the lord is good at wine, so he will accept it. It's just a jar of wine, and you don't need a gift in return."
The servant said, and then took out a very small jar... It really was a "small" jar of wine, and the jar was only the size of a palm!
"This... such a small jar of wine? The Zheng family is too stingy, right?" This jar is so small that the wine inside is probably only a jug! The prefect of Hexing House felt extremely speechless.
The servant smiled shyly: "It's a little small, but it's said to be made by a secret recipe..."
"Secret recipe, I want to see what's so special about this wine." The prefect opened the jar and said, "This Jiangnan wine is too soft, I have never eaten anything that suits me. Mind... wait..."
After the prefect opened the wine jar, a strong aroma of wine came to his nostrils, and he was shocked almost immediately.
This wine is really delicious!
"Bring me a cup!" The prefect of Hexing Prefecture said hurriedly.
The servant hurriedly brought him a cup, he poured out a small cup, took a sip, then slapped his thigh and said, "Good wine!"
It was the first time he had drunk such a mellow wine!
Why is there only such a small altar? Also, he kind of wants to visit Zheng Yi...
