Outside the small east gate, Taiping Street, Taiping Inn. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Taiping Inn is close to the hall field, the front and back three into the courtyard, and there are two cross-courtyards, outside the small east gate is also a famous inn, Jin Ying, who dressed as a man and dressed as a small maid, entered the inn and went straight to a single courtyard in the west cross-courtyard.

In the main room, Yi Zhenren, dressed as a gentleman, was leisurely drinking tea, listening to a man in his early thirties talking about the news from outside, and when Jin Ying came in, he frowned slightly, and said, "Why did you come back at this time?" ”

"The apprentice has seen the master, and the senior brother has seen it." Jin Ying said after seeing the salute: "I was kept by my senior sister for a night, and now my senior sister is like a different person......" ”

"What's the situation, tell me carefully."

"The junior brother married a Dorogeg, and now the rules in the house are much bigger than before..... Jin Ying pondered and said: "Master also knows that those concubines of the junior brother are either bought, or they are from small families, and the junior brother does not pay attention to any rules, and there are no rules in the backyard, but since he married a Dorogge, the situation is different."

The rules are not ordinary, words and deeds, food and sleep, entry and exit, visits from relatives and friends, etc., all have to follow the rules, and it is really a loss to the senior sister, who can swallow her anger and accept it, I really don't know what method the junior brother uses......."

What else can be done? Girls are outgoing, married are the same, according to the real person secretly resentful in her heart, seeing her verbose, I had to interrupt her and say: "Can you see your junior brother?" ”

"Naturally, I saw it." Jin Ying said: "However, he is very busy, he was only promoted to marquis yesterday, and it was dark for a long time before he returned to the backyard, and after late at night, the backyard was not allowed to enter or exit, and the apprentice could only accompany his senior sister for a night." After a pause, she continued: "Senior brother said, now that he is in a high position, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him, for the sake of prudence, it is better not to meet with the master, as for Yi Zhuanzi, he will arrange for someone to contact the master." ”

Don't meet? Yi Zhenren was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "If you run again, you will say that the teacher has important things to discuss with him, be sure to meet for a while, and the meeting place or something, it depends on him." ”

"Yes, the disciple will go now." Jin Ying said with a well-behaved face.

"Go early and come back early." According to the real person's advice, Jin Ying saluted and left, his face became gloomy, and the eldest disciple Yang Kaishan groaned before he said: "The junior brother is not only promoted to marquis, but also takes over as the minister of Nanyang, and he is indeed busy enough these days, he is a Han man, holding tens of thousands .....of people in the navy, and there are many people who are monitored by the imperial court." ”

"Use your brain for everything." Yi Zhenren said impatiently: "You believe whatever he says?" This is Shanghai! It's his territory, it's his people both openly and secretly, so what Xingqing Gang and Zhongxin Society are all Yuanqi's people! Shanghai is now a place where he can't get into the needles he runs, and the water can't splash in, who can spy on him here? ”

Yang Kaishan said sneeringly: "Is the little junior brother worried that the master is holding his handle in his hand, so he is reluctant to meet?" ”

Hearing this, Yi Zhenren shook his head a little speechlessly, yes, he was pinching the handle of Yi Zhicontentment, and when he was introduced to the religion, he was forced to write an oath of joining the religion, but he didn't dare to use this handle at all, the kid's words back then were as crooked as an earthworm, and he had been practicing words diligently over the years, and now the handwriting is very different, and throwing it out may not be able to threaten the other party.

Furthermore, how powerful is Yuan Qi now? How could the Liangguang Blue Lotus Sect provoke? Once the face is torn, it will definitely be devastated, Yuan Qi is not the imperial court, but it is even more ruthless than the imperial court, not only has close contacts with the Heaven and Earth Society, but there is also a Shenlong Xingzhong Association behind him, he does not dare to take risks.

Yi Zhishan is indeed busy enough, busy writing excerpts and busy handling the handover, Qiying can't wait to handle the handover and rush back to Beijing, the Nanyang minister's errand is unloaded, but no new errand is designated, he is worried about being idle, and his heart is naturally anxious to return to Beijing to see, although Qiying is equivalent to being set aside, but all the handover procedures are the same, these things are naturally done by the masters, but the Yang Xing is to Yi Zhixin personally come forward.

For Qiying, Yi Zhizhi still has a good impression, at least Qiying has not caused him any trouble in the past few years, and he also knows that Qiying's return to Beijing will inevitably be reused, the mountains do not turn around, maintain the love of the past few years, and it is one thing to see each other in the future, he also hopes that the other party will be like the prince of the stove, return to Beijing and say good things, don't bury him in front of Daoguang.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Jin Ying seized the opportunity to see Yi Zhishu in the study, seeing that he was full of alcohol, she was also worried that the other party was drunk, and after saying a few words, she saw that the other party was very sober, so she said that she would meet according to the real person's request.

Yi Zhizhi drank a few small cups with Qi Ying at the feast, the amount was not large, I heard that Yi Zhenren said that there were important things to discuss, and it was estimated that it should be arranged to train the backbone in Nanyang, for the Qinglian Sect He did not have the slightest feelings for the cheap master Yi Zhenren, but he knew that Bai Zhi couldn't let go of the Qinglian Sect, if he didn't shirk it, one was that Jin Ying was afraid that he would be entangled with the old age, and the other was also worried that they would be entangled to see Bai Zhi.

The child in Bai Zhi's belly, he didn't plan to let people know about it for the time being, he didn't want his wife and children to be placed as hostages in Jingshi like Yi Yunchang and his wife, and he groaned a little before he commanded to the outside world: "Li Wang." ”

Li Wang, who had been staying in the courtyard, hurriedly walked in and said, "What do you have to say?" ”

"Take someone to the Merchant Marine Club and invite the owner Wang Tongchun, the director Yu Taifeng, Wang Renbo, and Shen Wanxiang to come."

After Li Wang retreated, he looked at Jin Ying and said, "Li Wang, this kid is actually quite good, this time he is already a fifth-rank guard." ”

"Even adjutant generals are not uncommon." Jin Ying said unceremoniously.

Yi Zhifen quipped: "Second Lady is not rare, but she is interested in someone?" ”

Jin Ying glanced at him and said, "I'll arrange it." He turned around and left.

This girl, Yi Zhizu shook his head slightly, took out a cigar and lit it, in fact, in Shanghai, he really couldn't be so cautious, but he was worried that Yi Zhenren would also take the initiative to come to the door frequently like Huang Dianyuan in the future, so he pretended to make arrangements, and the gang of sand ship owners in the Merchant Marine Club did have something to talk about.

Just thinking about it, Yan Kexin came in with the maid carrying the food box, squatted and blessed, and then said: "The concubine has boiled some sobering soup.... ”

"You're considerate." Yi Zhizhi smiled, "Actually, I haven't drunk much, my body is strong, but not so delicate." ”

"It was ordered by the lady, and the concubine didn't dare to be greedy." Yan Kexin took the food box from the maid's hand as she spoke, and retreated the maid casually, and then said tentatively: "Sister Bai is in Shanghai?" ”

Yi Zhixiang glanced at her and said quietly, "Jin Ying told you?" ”

"Why don't you need to ask......." Yan Kexin chuckled: "You can guess from the attitude of the young girl." ”

Slowly drank the decanting soup, felt hot, Yi Zhizhi put down the bowl again, and said in a deep voice: "Don't spread this matter, don't talk about it." ”

"The concubine understands." Yan Kexin said with a smile.

Yi Zhizhi glanced at her and said, "What are you happy about?" ”

"Nothing." Yan Kexin hurriedly covered up, in fact, she had vaguely guessed in her heart that Bai Zhi should have it, otherwise she would not have lived outside alone, but since Yi Zhixiang was so cautious, she was naturally not good at trying again, in fact, in the past few years, none of their sisters were pregnant, and they all had some doubts in their hearts, if Bai Zhi had, then they would naturally have a chance, being a concubine is not as good as being a wife, there are no heirs, and the evening scene is very bleak.

Seeing her radiant appearance, Yi Zhizhi estimated that she had guessed the truth, and secretly thought in her heart that the young girl was really harmful, if she didn't make such a fuss, no one would have thought of this, these women in the backyard, one is smarter than the other, and I am afraid that I can't hide it now.

He was thinking about how to solve this problem, and Menzi hurriedly came to report, "Miss Xu is out asking to see her." ”

The one who can stab and ask to see as a woman is naturally Xu Yixuan, hearing that she is back, Yi Zhizhi is happy in his heart, and asked her to go back to Guangzhou to comfort Jin Lanxiang a few months ago, he is really worried that it is a meat bun beating a dog - there is no return, and he immediately ordered: "Invite her in." ”

Yan Kexin pursed her lips and smiled: "When a confidante comes, it's better to avoid the concubine." ”

Yi Zhizhi smiled, "What a confidante, don't ruin the reputation of other people's daughters." ”

"Take advantage of the heat to pass the decanting soup." Yan Kexin said softly, she didn't want to stay in the way, she had heard a little about Xu Yixuan and Jin Lanxiang, what kind of character Yi Zhixiang was, she also knew what Jin Lanxiang's situation was now, she didn't know, this Xu Yixuan, who was dangling in front of Yi Zhixiang all day long, was afraid that most of the time she would be sisters in the future, and it would be good to avoid it.

Yi Zhixiang didn't want to ask about Jin Lanxiang in front of her, so he drank the soup immediately, and then told him thoughtlessly, "You also have to take care of your body, if you feel unwell, you must quickly ask Lang Zhong, don't be afraid to seek medical treatment." ”

Yan Kexin packed up her things and walked out of the room, still a little inexplicable, I don't know what this means? However, thinking that Bai Zhi was very likely to be pregnant, she was overjoyed, did this imply that she might also be pregnant? Thinking of the charming scene of Yi Zhi's contentment and two mandarin ducks playing in the water, her pretty face couldn't help but blush.

Xu Yixuan, who was dressed as a man, deliberately strode into the courtyard, and saw Yi Zhishu standing on the steps outside the door, couldn't help but smile, and arched her hand: "Congratulations to the big shopkeeper Rongjin Marquis." ”

Yi Zhishu nodded and said, "It's good to come back, I'm really worried that you will go back to Guangzhou to get married." ”

"Now you know you're worried?" Xu Yixuan glanced at him and said angrily: "Why didn't you worry about letting the little girl go back to Guangzhou at the beginning?" ”

"It's not impossible." Yi Zhishu said and stretched out his hand, "Miss Xu, please." ”

The two of them entered the room and sat down, and Yi Zhicai said with concern: "How is Miss Jin?" ”

Xu Yixuan said lightly: "The hair has fallen into a nun." ”

Hair loss for nun? Yi Zhizhi was stunned for a while, and only after a while did he murmur with a gloomy expression: "Why are you so desperate and hang yourself on a tree......" ”

"Now you know your heart hurts?" Xu Yixuan said unceremoniously: "What did you do earlier?" Did you think about being a relative of the emperor early on? ”

"A lot of things aren't what you think." Yi Zhifu said in a low tone, sighed lightly, and then asked, "In which nunnery?" ”

Xu Yixuan said: "She won't let you tell you." ”

"If you don't tell it, it means that your heart is not dead." Yi Zhishu said in a deep voice: "If you don't say it, I'll let people check it myself." ”

Xu Yixuan said faintly: "You have already become a nun, why do you still want to provoke her?" What if you find it? Accepted as a concubine? ”

Yi Zhifen shook his head and said: "You should bring her to Shanghai, the atmosphere here will become more and more open, women can be completely independent, can live freely and freely, fall in love, there are many good men in this world, and she will definitely meet the person she likes in the future, how old is she ......." ”

Xu Yixuan stared at him for a long time with a pair of big black and white eyes, then stood up and said, "The big shopkeeper is saying this to the little girl?" With that, he walked away quickly.

What do you mean? Yi Zhizhi was content, then reacted, rushed to the door and said loudly: "It's also your freedom to squeeze in if you want!" ”

Xu Yixuan paused, and then sped up and left without looking back, looking at her slightly embarrassed figure, Yi Zhizu sighed lightly, he never dreamed that Jin Lanxiang would choose the path of becoming a monk, the nunnery is not a clean place, others don't know, but he has heard of it, so he has to quickly give a message to Guangzhou and let them bring people out.

The Merchant Marine Club, hearing that Yi Zhizhi was calling, the owner Wang Tongchun and the directors were quite surprised, and they all secretly wondered in their hearts, did this let them go to the mansion to celebrate? After all, he had just received the news that Yi Zhishu was promoted to a third-class marquis and took over as the minister of Nanyang.

After discussing the amount of gift money with everyone, Wang Tongchun led a few named directors to rush to the West Garden, and when they entered the courtyard, they saw that it was deserted inside, and several people couldn't help but wonder secretly, no one noticed that there was an unknown gentleman behind them.

Wang Tongchun and a few people were taken directly into the study, Yi Zhifen put down his pen and got up, and several people hurriedly congratulated him in unison, Yi Zhixiang smiled and waved his hand, and said, "You don't need to be polite, sit down." ”

After everyone sat down, he said straight to the point: "I invite you to come today to discuss the matter of trade with the Japanese. After a pause, he continued: "As you all know, the Japanese state has been closed to the outside world for a long time, and although foreign maritime trade has been maintained through the port of Nagasaki, the trade between the two countries has been in an extremely sluggish state for a long time.

This time, the Wa State opened several major coastal ports, but it was worried that the disorderly trade competition would have a serious impact on the domestic economy of the Wa State, bringing great harm, and the imperial court hoped that the Wa State would become a maritime barrier of the Qing Dynasty, and also hoped to maintain the stability of the Wa State, so Yuan Qi decided to monopolize the trade with the Wa State.

The purpose of monopolizing trade with the Japanese is to coordinate and organize trade in a planned and organized manner, so as to promote the normal and orderly development of trade between the two countries and maintain the stable rule of the Japanese shogunate. ”
