The literati were light, and Xu and Zhang sat separately on the left and right. Zhang Gongliang saw Xu Wenzhong put down the teacup, coughed, habitually reached out and stroked his beard, knowing that he was going to speak, he hurriedly preemptively said: "Shao Guogong, Zhang has three strategies for upper, middle and lower to choose. ”

"Oh", Cheng Xiquan was really attracted by Zhang Gongliang's words, turned around and smiled: "I would like to hear it." ”

Xu Wenzhong and Zhang Gongliang are both from Juren, Xu is from Bingzhou, and Zhang is from Suzhou. The two of them went to Beijing to catch up with the exam, and they were invited to be guests in the mansion of Wenguo, and while studying in the mansion, they gave Cheng Xiquan some ideas. Cheng Xiquan was generous, and the two of them have a lot of money in recent years. Cheng Xiquan promised the two of them, and if they still didn't rank in the next department, they would come forward to act for the two of them, and they would have the face of Wen Guogong, and they could be an eight-grade official such as a county lieutenant and a county lieutenant at the worst.

"Work hard. There are many high-ranking people in the house, and it should not be difficult to find an opportunity to beat the surnamed Jiang half to death. After Zhang Gongliang succeeded in attracting Cheng Xiquan's attention, he became calm, dipped his thumb in the tea, and then wiped it on his lips and two whiskers.

"Use the momentum in the middle of the strategy. I have heard of Jiang Anyi, the officialdom is 'stunned', and there are too many people who have offended. It is not easy to deal with the Wailang of the Ministry of Rites from the Sixth Rank with the power of the Guogong Mansion, as long as the Grandpa of the Kingdom comes forward to hint, I believe that there are many people in the court who are willing to collect Jiang Anyi's mistakes, and the imperial historians of the Imperial History Observatory are like wolves all day long. ”

Seeing that Cheng Xiquan listened carefully, Zhang Gongliang became more and more proud, shaking his head, shaking his head with a little snow, and Erlang's legs trembling violently, becoming more and more obscene. Xu Wenzhong has a white face and black beard, beautiful eyebrows, and a good appearance, he has always looked down on Zhang Gongliang, who was born in a humble family, and when he saw Zhang Gongliang getting carried away, he couldn't help but chuckle at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't make a sound.

Zhang Gongliang noticed Xu Wenzhong's laughter, sat up straight, put down his upturned legs, and pointed a little in the air, and said with great momentum: "Use wisdom in your strategy." Set a trap, as long as Jiang Anyi takes the bait, then you will not let the son take the lead. ”

"Will the plan be released?"

Zhang Gongliang smiled a little embarrassedly: "I didn't think about it in a hurry, I just started from the wealth and wine, didn't this matter be tried and tested before?" ”

Cheng Xiquan smiled, it is true that there are several concubines in his mansion who got it in this way, "Mr. Zhang is right, I want to use these three strategies, I must make the surname Jiang ruined, as for his family, there are a lot of adults in this son, and they will help him take care of it." ”

There was a lewd laugh in the hall.

"Mr. Xu, I don't know what your plan is?" Cheng Xiquan turned his face and asked Xu Wenzhong.

Xu Wenzhong said indifferently: "Brother Zhang's three strategies are okay to deal with ordinary people, but I am afraid it will be a little difficult to deal with Jiang Anyi. ”

Zhang Gongliang's face was angry, and the two of them, who were both strategists, often fought openly and secretly in front of Cheng Xi, but this kind of direct accusation was a bit excessive. Cheng Xiquan is well versed in the way of employing people, and to add fuel to this kind of competition, the superior can firmly grasp the decision-making power.

However, Cheng Xiquan felt that Zhang Gongliang's three methods were all good, no matter how Xu Wenzhong would disagree, there was nothing to compete, but it would be not enough to damage the interests of the master family because of the struggle. Cheng Xiquan restrained his smile and asked, "Please Mr. Xu for advice." ”

"Jiang Anyi, Sanyuan and the first champion, Jiangnan Ci Xian, from the officialdom 'two stunned' to the straight bachelor of Chongwenguan, won the favor of the Son of Heaven, this person has achieved such an achievement at a young age, which is really enviable. Don't hide that Xu has done some in-depth research on him and wants to learn some experience from him, whether it is the imperial examination or the future career, it will be helpful. There may be some words that the son does not want to hear, and Xu does not know whether to say it or not. Xu Wenzhong held his ink beard and looked at Cheng Xiquandao.

Cheng Xiquan opened the folding fan, fanned it lightly a few times, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Mr. Xu, but please say it bluntly, you must know that the old father once said, 'Only by knowing this and knowing the other can we win a hundred battles', we have to deal with Jiang Anyi, and naturally the more we know about him, the better." ”

This son's family is poor, and he befriended fellow villagers with bamboo poems, and was able to take advantage of the situation. After entering Zechang Academy, he was valued by Deng Shanchang because of his humble background, and recommended him to be under Master Fan. After winning the promotion, he befriended Shen Guogong, and his imperial examination's "Sun Five Colors Fu" was indeed brilliant, and Xu sighed to himself. ”

Talking about Jiang Anyi's poetry, Xu Wenzhong admired it so much, Zhang Gongliang on the side surprisingly had the same opinion as Xu Wenzhong, and sighed: "This person's poetry is like a godsend, incomparable." ”

Listening to the admiration of Jiang Anyi for his two powerful strategists, Cheng Xiquan was silent on the surface, but the folding fan in his hand was fanned like a wheel, and the hatred in his heart became more and more vigorous.

"When Jiang Anyi first entered the officialdom, he helped his teacher clear the fields, and the newborn calf was all over the place, offending the officialdom family, and was placed in the Ministry of Rites.

Cheng Xi Quangui is a young prince, and of course he knows about the affairs of the court. Among the six departments, the Ministry of Rites is the most noble, except for the triennial imperial examination, which has some things to do, and is the most leisurely on weekdays. Leisure also means clear water, unless you reach the level of a squire, the average official of the Ministry of Rites can only live on a pitiful few servants, and a low-level, non-mainstream official like Tian Shoulou can only often go in and out of the pawnshop.

"What puzzled Xu was that Jiang Anyi had already fallen into a desperate situation, and it was impossible to turn over without more than ten years, but for some reason, Gonggong Liu suddenly invited him to a banquet, and the Son of Heaven chose him to enter the Chongwen Pavilion as a bachelor, and since then he has been favored." Xu Wenzhong frowned and was puzzled, and Zhang Gongliang sighed "strangely".

Xu Wenzhong's words evoked Cheng Xiquan's memory, he had heard a few words from his fox friend Wang Zhizhi, when his father was belittled, the Son of Heaven once said that Jiang Anyi was dedicated to the country, and had few selfish interests, and he liked his heart. The power of the Wang family is stronger than his own family, and he was degraded because he made things difficult for Jiang Anyi, it seems that he can't be careless, otherwise he will end up like Wang Kefu, which will make people laugh.

"What Mr. Xu said is right, this Jiang Anyi is indeed not to be underestimated, and dealing with him requires a long-term plan." Cheng Xiquan put away the folding fan and said solemnly.

If he can't figure it out, he doesn't want to, Xu Wenzhong let go of his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Although this Jiang Anyi has a lot of cleverness, it is not difficult to deal with him secretly, what the son said just now is good, this matter must be ......considered in the long run."

The voices gradually turned low, and the three of them muttered and whispered about each other, bursting into laughter from time to time. Cheng Yougui listened to the laughter in the house and felt upset for no reason, and he didn't know which family was going to be unlucky again. If you don't listen to your ears, let the servants under the eaves stand farther away, and Cheng Yougui will leave.

The fragrance soon became famous in Beijing, and wealthy people from several nearby states made a special trip to buy this magical perfume. After using perfume, some merchants in the Western Regions found that perfume had a great effect on masking body odor, and they boldly bought 200 bottles. There are not many 12,000 bottles of perfume left in the early stage, and the second batch of 22,000 bottles escorted by Guo Haiqing is on the way.

In mid-July, Yu Qingle received his salary, and for the first time in his life, he took the two hundred taels of silver he earned from his labor, and Yu Qingle had mixed feelings. The Yu family education is very strict, Yu Qingle only had five taels of silver per month before getting married, and it became twenty taels after becoming a family, but the money was all controlled by Zhang Yuzhu, and Yu Qingle had a few dollars of silver on him, and there was no other way than to eat and drink.

Two hundred taels of silver, Yu Qingle has a feeling of becoming a house slave and a master, thinking about how to spend it, fifty taels to his wife at home, fifty taels to eat, drink and play, and the remaining one hundred taels should be able to go to Manchun Courtyard to see Li'er a few times.

Guo Huaili saw Yu Qingle stunned, and said with a smile: "Qingle, you have to be the east today, let's go to the Xiangzhu Kitchen to eat, I can eat two roast ducks there in a row." ”

Xiangji Kitchen, a famous place to eat roast duck in Beijing, a table of first-class wine banquet at least five taels of silver. Money is heroic courage, Yu Qingle is extremely arrogant, and readily agreed: "Brother Guo, call Shangdonghe." simply invite An Yi and Brother Fan, let's not get drunk and not return. ”

In the following days, Yu Qingle lived extremely chic, and the friends who had been far away gathered around like cats that smelled fishy, and all kinds of flattering words were fluttering, of course, flattery was a price, not only the fifty taels that were intended to be used for treats were spent, but even the silver taels that went to Manchun Courtyard were also misappropriated.

Miss Li'er is no longer in Manchun Courtyard, it is said that she was married by a wealthy businessman with a lot of money, and her youth dreams are fragile, and Yu Qingle, who is full of melancholy, was drunk several times, so she let go and used this part of the cost to eat.

In the past, a few taels of silver were carefully calculated, and fox friends and dog friends helped each other, so please come to me for the next meal. Yu Qingle carried more than 100 taels of silver on his body, and paid the bill again and again in the sound of flattery, and before the end of July, the silver on his body was in single digits.

When the meal was approaching, the friends gathered one after another, one "Yu Gongzi", one "Yu Young Master", and the sedan chair was carried by everyone, lifting Yu Qingle higher and higher. One of them is surnamed Hong, whose father is from Guanglu Temple in Liupin, with a family history and is good at checking faces. Seeing that Yu Gongzi was embarrassed today, he knew that he should be shy.

Hong Daokun rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "It's still early, it's better to try your luck together, whoever is lucky will have a treat, although Yu Gongzi is hospitable, but we are not good at always letting Yu Gongzi treat." ”

Everyone said hello in an uproar, and surrounded Yu Qingle to Changle Fang on the left side of the East Market, where several famous casinos are located in Beijing. Dazheng strictly prohibits private casinos, but is reluctant to pay huge taxes from casinos, so according to the size of the state capital, there can be 40 casinos in Shangzhou, 30 in Zhongzhou, and 20 in Xiazhou.

Standing in front of the huge gold-lettered signboard of Yunshan Fang, Yu Qingle was a little hesitant, and the Yu family rules clearly stated: enter the casino to gamble, blame ten boards, repeatedly teach and do not change, and be expelled from the house. If his father knew that he had entered the casino to gamble, he would have been unable to escape.
