Chapter 689: Silver Coins (4)
On the evening of the sixth day of the third month, the news broke. The newspaper on the seventh day of the new year reported it loudly, and the whole city knew about it. And, with the Pravda report, the news began to circulate to the world.
The subtle atmosphere in Beijing is reflected in the fact that more and more powerful people and forces are participating in the competition for a share of the coinage. Zhao Heling, the head of the household, is meeting guests every night. All sides are constantly putting pressure on him. The situation was chaotic and chaotic, and all kinds of rumors were flying in the newspapers.
On the morning of March 10, in the Hui Chamber of Commerce Hall located outside the Chongwen Gate, courtyards formed the pattern of the hall.
In a quiet courtyard in the south, two major Hui merchants, Wang Heting and Ma Juntai, gathered to drink tea.
Spring light falls on the window railing. On the small round table, several exquisite and delicious pastries, a purple clay-colored pine dry pot, and the fragrance of tea is curling. A thick stack of newspapers was placed casually on the tea table.
Ma Juntai sat on a rattan chair, sipped tea, and sighed: "Brother Wang, the situation in Beijing is really different from Jiangnan!" You see, according to the information reported in the newspaper, the powerful people in Beijing basically want to take a share of the coinage.
What King Wei, King Beijing, and Wei Qihou all came out. I heard that Zhao Shangshu was in the house, and the lobbyists were like clouds. Originally, several of our major merchant gangs were separated from the imperial court yamen, but now it's good that there is such a trouble. Good guys, so many people popping up. ”
He added: "Look at these newspapers again, they are all attacking Jiafu." Hey, it's really the sign of the political envoy of Jiafu is hung in vain! There must be someone behind. The Jin Shang gang is quite bold. I heard that Jia Ziyu is still in Dongzhuang Town? ”
On the same day, in Yunbin Tower, the "besieged" Jiafu was led by Gao Zhiling, Yin Wuji. Yin Wuji talked the most. The rest, fueling the fire.
Wang Heting nodded, smiled with emotion, and said, "Yes!" Sit firmly on the Diaoyutai platform. Brother Ma, do you think that the preliminary plan of the household department is a bit like throwing Jia Fu out as a target? It's so eye-catching! ”
Ma Juntai said strangely: "Can't it? Didn't Zhao Situ have a good relationship with Jiafu? ”
Wang Heting smiled slightly, "What if Jia Ziyu did it on purpose?" ”
Ma Juntai was stunned for a moment, this is a bit like Jia Huan's style, and then smiled: "The discussion on the fifteenth day will be a good show." ”
Wang Heting said with a smile: "Anyway, our Hui businessman's share is indispensable." ”
Ma Juntai nodded, "Hmm." "That's the bottom line.

…
On March 13, the Son of Yongzhi did not go to court as usual. Hua Mo, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, took the ministers to pay homage to the throne in the Imperial Palace, and then dispersed the court.
The ministers walked out of the main hall in twos and threes, walked on the square, and returned to the yamen.
In the Wenyuan Pavilion, Wei Hong, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, took a book of music and went to the duty room of Huamo next door.
…
…
In late spring in March, on the outskirts of the capital, the scenery is just right. Ning Ke, the king of Shu, followed the royal family and the sons of the nobles from a safari in the suburbs, and went straight to the palace of King Wu to see Ning Xiao, the lord of Yongqing.
Since the news that the King of Shu asked to marry the three girls of Jiafu, King Wu and Princess Wu's senses of King Ning Ke of Shu have been much better. In the house, some details can be reflected.
The entourage handed over the wild deer, rabbits, and pheasants they had hunted to the housekeeper in King Wu's mansion to cook. Ning Ke went to the backyard to see Ning Xiao, the county lord of Yongqing.
Ning Xiao's routine is generally to deal with the affairs of the house in the morning, free time in the afternoon, and talk to her mother after dinner in the evening. At this time, it was almost evening, Ning Xiao was reading and writing in the east wing of the courtyard of her residence.
Maids, maids and maids. Keep quiet.
Ning Xiao wore a green and watery long skirt today, with a slender waist, a straight posture, and excellent proportions. The slender and straight legs under the skirt make it impossible for anyone to appreciate it. The long hair that was as black as satin flowed freely over the shoulders.
The face is like a beautiful jade, and the eyes are like a clear spring. Like a greasy white jade carving, a big beauty with bright eyes and bright teeth. Absolutely stunning.
Ning Xiao held the bookcase in one hand, held a bamboo pen in the other, and wrote on the white paper, and heard a sentence in the Yongfang that day: Wang Sun is down, Fuyun lives and dies, why is he afraid of this body? Fen Shu was angry and taught the six armies to make changes. The old devil clown, what a blow!
Especially the bright Danfeng's eyes shone with wisdom and contemplation. She has her own understanding, her own views on the current situation. At this time, she is undoubtedly extremely beautiful. The golden sunset peeked in through the window and fell on her greasy goose egg face, drenched in multicolored colors.
Ning Ke crossed the threshold under the leadership of a maid. The Wu Palaces are huge. But the backyard is not something he can walk around at will. greeted with a smile: "Sister Xiao, you are reading and writing again." Fortunately, you didn't go with me today, it's quite boring. ”
Ning Xiao smiled slightly and greeted, "Brother Nine is here." Putting down the brush, a pretty maid stepped forward and brought water to wash her hands.
Ning Xiao's eldest maid Zi'er, slender and tall, about 170, was very familiar with Ning Ke, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, what is a boring method?" ”
Ning Ke sat on the chair by the window, drank tea, and said with a smile: "A group of people, full of copper smell." Even, some people openly said that the Son of Heaven does not allow us to touch power, can we still earn money?
Sister Xiao, in my opinion, Jiafu will kick out this coinage transaction. Jia Huan offended too many people in the court. ”
Speaking of Jia Mansion, Ning Ke's face was melancholy. His request to marry Jia Tanchun was unsuccessful. In Beijing, many people laughed at him for taking a fancy to a concubine.
However, even if he is a prince, how can he be noble? How stupid is it to distinguish a person by his descendants?
Jia Huan's words flashed in Ning Xiao's heart, and she couldn't bear to comfort Ning Ke as usual. The matter of Brother Jiu and Sister Tan, she is the best neutral. took a sip of tea, continued the topic, and said, "Brother Jiu, in fact, there may not be an accident in Jiafu. ”
"Oh?"
Ning Ke looked at Ning Xiao curiously, and then, he felt as if something was almost there, and then, when he came to his senses, Xiao Mei didn't comfort him as usual, and she was stunned in her heart, but intellectually speaking, it was a good thing. said with a wry smile: "Sister Xiao, you have grown up!" ”
Ning Ke didn't make a fuss, but Ning Xiao understood it. It's just that Brother Jiu's "vicissitudes" made Ning Xiao can't help but laugh "poof", choke on a sip of tea, cough a few times, and after a while, she calmed down.
Ning Xiao smiled: "Brother Jiu, do you still treat me as a little girl?" He said generously: "I remain neutral about you and Sister Tan." However, when it comes to feelings, the twisted melon is not sweet. ”
If Jia Huan is unwilling to marry his sister, the chance of her ninth brother is very small. Jia Huan's will is too strong.
Ning Ke let out a long sigh. He still admires Jia Tanchun. He met Tanchun a few times and said a few words.
Ning Ke looked at Ning Xiao, who was as bright as a flower, opened his mouth, and didn't speak. He suddenly discovered that there was a certain emotion between him and Xiao Mei. At this point, it is fading away. Perhaps, over time, it will dissipate in the wind. Only good memories of the past remain.
Ning Ke smiled abruptly and freely, and asked, "Sister Xiao, you tell me your judgment, how can Jiafu be fine?" The King of Chu, the Jin Shang, the Song Tianguan, the Imperial Shang, these people all want to swallow the share of Jiafu. ”
Ning Xiao was about to speak, when she saw Ning Cheng and Ning Xi panting and walking in from outside, holding a letter in their hands, "Sister, sister, Mr. Jia's letter to you." Oh, Brother Jiu, you're there too. Haha, how was the harvest of today's shooting? ”
"Brother Cheng, you didn't go to Qingqing today, it turned out that you went to Dongzhuang Town?"
Everyone greeted each other for a while. The maids were busy serving tea and pouring water.
Ning Xiao took the letter and looked at the elegant regular script on the envelope: The lord of Xiaojun personally opened it from Dongzhuang Town. Take a knife and cut open the letter, open it and read it. I couldn't help but smile, like a flower, and handed it to Ning Ke, "Brother Jiu, look." ”
Jia Huan wrote to her because she felt that she was more rational and safe. Jia Huan suggested that Brother Jiu send someone to Yunbin Tower on the 15th to get a share of the silver coins. He had already arranged the rest.
Jia Huan was afraid that Brother Jiu would not accept Jiafu's overtures, so he specially wrote to her.
She had known that this would be the case. And just now, what did Brother Jiu say? Jia Huan's flaws are a bit obvious. But those giant businessmen and powerful people with related interests will still can't help but squeeze Jia Fu and try to kick Jia Fu out.
Ning Ke, the king of Shu, after reading it, smiled bitterly!
Ning Cheng took the letter from Ning Ke's hand and said, "I'll take a look, I'll take a look." "Today in the academy, although he and Brother Xi saw Mr. Jia, Mr. Jia didn't say anything about the situation, just asked the two of them to send a letter back to his sister.
That's it, huh?
