"Brother Jiang!"
Zheng Shangming was also very surprised. "I heard that you went back to Linzi. I even went to the Xia Mountain Villa to look for you, but you weren't there. I didn't expect to see you now! "
After not seeing each other for a while, Zheng Shangming had changed even more.
Yu Hezhi, Yu Hezhi, the stranger in the carriage, and Yu Jiang Wang were three completely different attitudes.
The way he spoke was also very appropriate. He was smooth, experienced, and affectionate. It was as if he was used to staying in the yamen and interacting with people from all walks of life.
Jiang Wang personally felt that when they first met, Jiang Wang's taciturn manner was more realistic. However, he also knew that people more or less changed.
Perhaps it could be called … "growth".
"I'm busy everywhere." Jiang Wang smiled. "After I'm done, I'll treat you to a drink. I still haven't thanked you for last time! "
"You went out to sea to do big things and also solved the case. You are a model Blue Medal. I should be the one thanking you!" Zheng Shangming said enthusiastically, "When you have time, let me know. I'll definitely treat you!"
Beiya's intelligence network was one of the top in the entire Qi Department.
Zheng Shangming was very clear about Jiang Wang's impressive performance overseas. His father, Zheng Shi, had mentioned Jiang Wang's name many times and always praised him.
Of course, he understood his father's hint and knew what he should do.
His previous arrogance and self-restraint had been shattered by Wang Yiwu in front of the Marshal's Mansion. He had also trained in the capital for a year. He had already let go of the things he couldn't let go of.
Previously, he went to the Xia Mountain Villa to find Jiang Wang for no other reason than to build a relationship. If it was in the past, how could he do this?
If it was in the past, he would still deal with the matter of He Zhen using the carriage seriously. However, he definitely wouldn't have thought that he would appease all sides of the street and take the opportunity to promote his own reputation.
The two of them chatted enthusiastically. The carriage driver of Pau's Carriage and Horse Company felt that something was wrong.
Surnamed Jiang … living in the Xia Mountain Villa …
Was this the surnamed Jiang?
Blue Medal!
That's right!
He was the one who had extorted a large sum of money from the owner of the carriage!
It was said that he was fine. It was mainly that Junggenjia Young Master Sheng who used this as an excuse to make a fuss …
But the point was that the carriage company had already made a rule that they would never accept any business from Chung Geng Sheng and Jiang Wang. Why did this person hire our family's carriage through a middleman?
The Junggenjia people were too immoral!
While the coachman was having mixed feelings, Zheng Shangming had already finished his small talk with Jiang Wang and went to deal with the case of He Zhen's rigging in the middle of the city.
At first, Zheng Shangming called for the carriage to stop because he wanted to leave a statement to prove that He Zhen's carriage had violated the Etiquette Ordinance and forced the carriages entering the city to make way. This kind of thoughtfulness was a reflection of his ability to handle matters.
But when he found out that the person in the car was Jiang Wang, he didn't mention it again. Because Jiang Wang's status was not ordinary, it was not good to trouble Jiang Wang with such a small matter. Secondly, if Jiang Wang's name was left on the statement, it might cause some conflict with the imperial uncle's family. If this happened because of him, it would inevitably leave a bad impression on Jiang Wang.
So he only exchanged small talk and didn't say anything else.
"Let's go." After watching Zheng Shangming leave, Jiang Wang ordered.
The coachman wanted to let him get off the carriage to show Pau's Carriage and Horse Company's serious stance, but after thinking about it, he didn't dare to.
I'll just pretend that I didn't guess … he thought.
"Alright, sit tight!" He lightly tapped the horsewhip, and the horse trotted out in small, quick steps, moving happily.
The Yan family's mansion in Linzi wasn't considered luxurious.
After all, it was in the capital of Da Qi. Whether it was a dragon or a tiger, they had to keep a low profile.
Yan Fu was in the mansion. After the banquet on Neverwinter Island, he was the first to return to Linzi. He had already had enough of the scenery on the sea. When it came to all kinds of enjoyment, Linzi was still the most prosperous.
Of course, this wasn't the main reason he was in a hurry to return to Linzi.
After receiving a message from a servant, Yan Fu hurried out the door to welcome him. He smiled from afar. "You're such a blockhead who only knows how to cultivate. Why did you come to see me today?"
Yan Fu, who had always been reserved and gentle, had such a warm attitude. Everyone in the Yan Prefecture naturally knew their young master's attitude towards Prince Jiang.
Everyone's eyes were filled with respect.
With Jiang Wang's current relationship with Yan Fu, there was no need for him to beat around the bush. He said directly, "Don't misunderstand. I'm not here to see you. I have something to talk to you about. "
Yan Fu smiled. Jiang Wang didn't need to be courteous with him, which meant that their relationship was in place. "What's the matter? Why did you come in person? Can't you just pass me a letter? "
He stepped aside. "Come, let's talk inside."
Following Yan Fu into the Yan family's mansion, Jiang Wang finally understood what it meant to be rich.
It was different from the simple and low-key exterior. His thoughts were all in the interior.
He didn't just pile up gold and jade. Instead, he went back and forth in the corridors, pecking at the jade-green spots, and doing meticulous work on details such as the corners and cornices.
For example, when the wind blew on the green bamboo and jade hanging curtains, there was a quiet sound, like the sound of a spring in a valley.
For example, the stone slabs under his feet, the feeling of stepping on them was excellent, and the temperature was just right …
Jiang Wang couldn't really see the value of it, but he felt that it was pleasing to the eye and comfortable to look at.
He was no longer the youth from Feng Xi Town who hadn't seen much of the world. He had been to the famous families in Linzi City, such as the City Destroying Marquis' Mansion and the Bowang Marquis' Mansion.
But in terms of manors, these two marquis' Manors couldn't compare to the Yan family.
"How much money would it take to decorate like this?" Jiang Qingyang, who had seen much of the world, lamented.
Yan Fu didn't directly respond. He only smiled and said, "Come with me to Beijun later. The old mansion is worth seeing."
In other words, what was this mansion in Linzi? There was nothing to say!
He thought about how he built the Taixu Corner Tower and still had to pay the bills from the Desheng Trading Company. It was all thanks to Chung Geng Sheng's investment. To build a mere Zhengsheng Hall in his fief, he had to slowly dawdle with Fan Qingqing and Dugu Xiao, deducting money from their fingernails …
Jiang Wang said sourly, "Tsk tsk, don't you know the principle of not showing off one's wealth?"
"There are two kinds of people who aren't afraid of showing off their wealth. The first kind is in a country of righteousness. They made their fortune legitimately and aren't afraid of being targeted. The other kind is that their fists are hard enough and they have someone above them. "Yan Fu smiled warmly." The Yan family has both. "
"Let's talk business." They followed him into the hall and sat down casually. Jiang Wang said faintly, "Money and such are worldly possessions. It's like floating clouds."
"You're right. It's just a number." Yan Fu had a sense of empathy. He smiled and said, "If there's anything you need, come find me. Even Chongxuan Fat can't do it."
Regardless of Chung Geng Sheng's reputation, Jiang Wang's circle of friends recognized his ability. There were very few things he couldn't do.
Jiang Wang said bluntly, "I want to participate in the Yellow River Gathering, but I don't know how to get a spot."
Yan Fu smiled. "Chongxuan Fat has a good idea!"
Only Chung Geng Sheng, who was familiar with the situation in Linzi, knew who was the most suitable person for Jiang Wang's matter. Therefore, he knew that this was Chung Geng Sheng's idea as soon as he heard it.
"Actually, many yamen offices have the right to recommend candidates to participate in the Yellow River Gathering. They also have the obligation to do so. For example, the Northern Yamen, the various prefectural governors … In addition, those marquises, counts, and the highly respected Blue Medal … can also have a say. "
Yan Fu analyzed, "These candidates will be recommended to the Political Affairs Hall. The Political Affairs Hall will then select three of them and present them to the Emperor. Chongxuan Fat can also help you. However, it's obviously not worth it to ask Marquis Bowang or Marquis Dingyuan to speak for you in order to recommend candidates. "
Jiang Wang thought that Jung Genzun also played a role in this.
Yan Fu said lightly, "I'll send an invitation later and this matter will be settled. Your name will definitely be in the Political Affairs Hall. "
