On the sixth day of February in the eleventh year of Jinghan, Bianliang.

After the winter cold has faded, the capital has begun to warm up, and the trees on the street corners have pulled out new green leaves, and a few birds chirp, occasionally flying across the sky. It was morning, and the sun was hiding behind the unfolding clouds, shining its light warmly. In the Ning Mansion, Su Wending and others, who had eaten breakfast, were going out one after another.

Now these people in the Su family have their own responsibilities, and most of them are on the track. Su Wending took over the Su family's cloth shop newly opened in the capital, because he had just arrived, the cloth shop had not opened the situation at all, and it was just open for the time being, so he should be given the right to practice.

Su Wenxing is in charge of the operation of the compound outside the city, the daily life, meals, rewards and punishments of the craftsmen and servants in the courtyard every day, because the overall situation is still in Ning Yi's hands, what he does is some step-by-step work.

Su Yanping's side is a little more important, the production and transportation of new lotus coal, and the manufacture and sales of coal furnaces. These two workshops are not big, and now they have something to do with Zhuji, and they are attached to Zhuji to survive, and the big business is still done by Ning Yi, and he is also in the learning stage, keeping things, and being able to develop slowly according to Ning Yi's instructions.

All the way from the south, there are only a few people who are relatively close to the Su family. There is also Su Wenyu, who has now returned to Dulonggang again to manage his labor camp. In addition, some of the Su family's shopkeepers, account offices, and even the children available in their families who came up with Su Tan'er have also been arranged to work and study one by one at this time.

In the past, these children of the Su family were relatively idle. When it comes to talent and qualifications, they are actually average. But there is not much difference between people, as long as there are enough opportunities and teachings, it is always no problem to manage affairs step by step, and with more experience, you will naturally become smart and shrewd. Compared with IQ, Ning Yi believes more in the experience generated after training.

In the past few months, although several members of the Su family have not been able to take charge on their own. But they have also found a way forward. There is a little bit of a steady temperament. In the feudal era, although it is not impossible to say that there are smart people, most people have not had much knowledge in their lives, after they were trained by Ning Yi. In fact, he can be regarded as a very good young man. Many students are studying in poverty. Or even scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam. It is difficult to have their current demeanor in a lifetime.

"I heard before that the old lady in the Su family treats the second cousin the most. Now that the family is separated, it can be seen. This time, I am afraid that all the young people who can be used in the Su family will be sent to Bianliang, and the old lady really has too much hope for the second cousin......"

Song Yongping, who was born in a family of eunuchs, was not too surprised by Su Wending and others at this time. At the beginning, he listened to his father's evaluation, and knew that the young generation of the Su family basically had no stable people, although he had several contacts, but when he was young, Su Wending and others were also young, he basically couldn't see anything. After these few days of contact, we can only come to such conclusions. Watching them fight at breakfast time, and talking about their respective affairs with high spirits and even ease, he was somewhat envious in his heart - but this was only a good appearance among businessmen, after all, it was not stable enough - they were even urged to go out every morning to practice martial arts, although the six arts of the gentleman also pay attention to fitness, but the kung fu that would hit the nose and face was swollen was still too vulgar.

Eating the porridge and rice in the morning, thinking about these things, when I looked at the host's seat, it was empty.

"The second brother-in-law went out early in the morning, what happened over there in Zhuji, after all, today is the performance of the teacher and the girl." Su Wenxing told Song Yongping about this, and then asked, "By the way, Xiaosi, do you want to go and see it at night?" We'll be there in the afternoon, too. ”

"Uh...... Still can't. Song Yongping said with a smile, "After all, I will try it soon, and there are still some books to read, so I don't plan to go out today." If something interesting happens, the brothers will have to tell me when they come back. ”

Although after coming to the capital, he also wanted to meet the first Oiran of the capital division, but this time he didn't want to go. It is indeed because the exam is imminent, and the candidates who are really nervous have begun to close their doors to restrain their mood, which is most of the reasons, and the other small part belongs to the psychology that he himself does not want to think about, which is slightly arrogant or dark.

What kind of person this brother-in-law is, he can't see it clearly at the moment. Of course, he didn't have the heart to explore these things before he tried it. My father once said that the other party was very good, and he also mentioned that he would make friends with him, and the other party also had a reputation as a talented man in Jiangning, and he had read his poems himself, which was indeed very powerful, but the article was eternal, and after the Tang Dynasty, not many people could rely on poetry to be officials, and writing some poems was a small way after all. On the other hand, he is very good at business, and he can invite Master Li, which should be regarded as a powerful part, but a man with a considerable reputation, diligently drilling in the eyes of money, it should have been an elegant thing to meet Master Li, but in today's situation, it will inevitably look tacky.

These things are just turning in my heart, after all, they are a family, in fact, Song Yongping still has a sense of intimacy. Even if Ning Yi came to see it, he would only think that it was a teenager's heart, and when he saw his outstanding peers, he subconsciously compared. He stayed at home this morning to study, and after a short time, someone came to visit, it was the students he had made in the capital a few days earlier, who had come here today to communicate with each other for the examination in a few days.

Juan'er, who stayed at home with her children, brought refreshments, and everyone discussed poems in the courtyard. After talking for a while, when the atmosphere was warm, the topic turned to other things, and when they heard that Song Yongping's brother-in-law was Ning Liheng, everyone was quite surprised, and then talked about Zhu Ji, Li Shishi, and the new poems to be announced in today's performance.

"Speaking of which, the little brother of Zhuji has also been there, and the layout is quite good, atmospheric but not luxurious, but that's it. It's the new work that the teacher and the girl are going to perform this time, everyone is looking forward to it, Brother Song, since you live here, have you ever had the pleasure of seeing it in advance? ”

When everyone asked about this, Song Yongping smiled and waved his hand. said that in the past few days, he has been concentrating on preparing for the exam, but he has not paid attention. In fact, when they met two times before, he had thought about talking to Ning Yi about poetry, but Ning Yi had no interest in poetry, and Su Wending and others also confirmed this with a wry smile, so Song Yongping didn't talk about it. Of course, he wouldn't talk about it in front of outsiders.

After a few more words, there was a young man named Zhang Xilian among the people who came, who was the son of an official eunuch in the capital, and said: "Speaking of the performance of the master girl in Zhuji today, I heard a news, and I don't know if it's true. ”

"Brother Zhang, please speak."

"I'm afraid someone is going to go over and look for trouble." Zhang Xilian touched his chin. Said. "When I went out this morning, I vaguely heard people say that they were going to find trouble with Zhuji. That person is a gentleman in the capital, and he doesn't do anything on weekdays. It's all about dealing with a bunch of gentlemen. The teacher girl has a great reputation in the capital. There are a lot of things to be jealous of her. Maybe your cousin-in-law is making too much noise this time, and maybe it will cause people to be jealous. At that time, I seemed to hear that I was going to find someone to beat him up......"

Zhang Xilian's father was a Beijing official. It's not huge, but there are still a variety of relationships. After learning about Song Yongping's family history, the other party also had the meaning of friendship. After everyone discussed this, Song Yongping paced in the courtyard and thought for a while, and then made a decision.

"Since there is such a thing as Brother Zhang said, after all, it is a family, but I can't stay out of it, and I have to rush over to Zhuji in the afternoon. If you have something, please take care of yourself, the little brother knows the depth of the capital city, these troubles, can you not get involved or don't get involved......"

When he said this, everyone hurriedly stood up and protested: "Brother Song doesn't treat him as a friend!" ”

"This kind of thing can be said ......"

"The capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the land of the king's law, I don't believe that anyone really dares to mess around, I wait for the day to pass, but I want to see if there will be such a thing."

That Zhang Xilian smiled: "Brother Song said this kind of thing, it is too unusual. You and I have a relationship, and if there is anything, the foolish brother naturally can't stay out of it. To be honest, although my father's official position in Beijing is not high, he still knows some people, and he is a little thin-faced, if the other party makes trouble, even if he makes trouble in front of Kaifeng Mansion Yin, he doesn't have to be afraid of anything......"

Song Yongping hurriedly thanked him, but he was already thinking of countermeasures in his heart. In the land of the capital, there are countless powerful people of all kinds, and his father is a governor in the field, so it may not be useful to go here. But in any case, if there is really any conflict, the children of the official family can always be a little more sure than the businessman who comes forward. In the past, he was in the locality, and he also understood this kind of officialdom back and forth very well, and he knew what was going on, and it was best for his brother-in-law to give him the lead, after all, it was a family, and those who should be helped always had to help.

As for Zhang Xilian's side, the relationship is still two words, he has the heart to make friends, and he might as well sell his personal favor. But if it really doesn't work, even if you raise the relationship with the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, it's okay to fake the tiger. In this way, it also tells the other party not to underestimate themselves.

Thinking like this, in the afternoon, the group happily went to the evening building of Zhuji, and Song Yongping also felt that it was meaningful for him to go out. As for the others, they thought that they might be able to speak up in front of the teacher and show their faces more.

The group went a little early, but not long after lunch was over in Zhuji, there were already many scholars waiting upstairs to drink tea. A few people entered the building, and they happened to meet Ning Yi. Seeing Song Yongping coming, Ning Yi greeted him with a smile, and then met everyone one by one, Ning Yi seemed to have something to do here, so he asked the second child in the building to lead them to the second floor to sit down temporarily. Song Yongping came here to solve the trouble, but the situation had not been clarified at this time, so it was naturally difficult to mention it to Ning Yi.

Along the way, Zhang Xilian also found a few familiar faces in the scholarly circle in the capital, he got up and went over to say hello, and also to ask who Ning Yi had offended. Song Yongping was looking for Ning Yi's figure upstairs, his heart was burning his eyebrows, and he didn't know where Lu Dao's cousin-in-law was still working blindly. Then he pouted, no matter what, he always tried to help.

He sat back in his seat and chatted with others, and after a while, Zhang Xilian came back with a frown, and after sitting down, he looked strange.

"Your cousin-in-law...... How to offend this person......"

"Who?"

"Huahua Tai Sui Gao Muen......" Zhang Xilian frowned deeply, after saying this name, seeing that Song Yongping didn't quite understand, he added, "Gao Yanei, the son of the current Taiwei Gao Yu." ”

Song Yongping was stunned for a long time.

At the same time, outside of Zhuji, Ning Yi, Wen Renfuji, Zhu Biao, and many people from the Secret Investigation Division were busy with some trivial things outside of Zhuji's performance.

Somewhere on the side of Bianliang, under the leadership of Wen Ren, more than a dozen people were closing towards a quiet small courtyard.

Ning Yi drove the carriage on the road in the city, only turned two streets, and he said something to Zhu Biao next to him, Zhu Biao's eyes sharpened and nodded.

The light came in through the window lattice, and in the room, Chen Fan poured himself a glass of water, then raised the glass, and suddenly stopped there.

More than a dozen people from the Secret Investigation Division drew their swords and climbed over the courtyard wall——(To be continued......)
