MTL - Enter the Room-Chapter 211
Chapter 211
Shao Qing didn't even look at the cross-eyed person, and continued to argue with Mr. Xu about the triple tax.
This farce raged for more than half an hour, and finally the inspection department admitted its mistake in public; cross-eyed was fired and never hired; the inspection department compensated Song Jiyun and others with two hundred taels of silver and the curtain came to an end.
Everyone who watched the excitement next to him clapped their hands and applauded.
Master Xu also enthusiastically asked the porter to send them into the city himself: "I will pay for the expenses myself, so you can rest assured, Young Master Shao, I will never take a cent of the public's money."
Of course Shao Qing would not agree: "Our master is very strict, you want him to know and kill me! But," he rolled his eyes and said slyly, "If you really want to help me get my things Send it home, didn't your inspection department invite a lot of people temporarily? Just them."
This... think about it carefully, isn't it still taking advantage of the public?
Zhou Zheng was puzzled.
Song Jiyun pursed his lips and smiled.
Thinking about it, it’s no wonder that Yuan Yunzhong asked Shao Qing to **** them to Nanjing, not to mention the famous posts he brought, as long as the business affairs are handled quietly, it’s not someone who has been in it for many years, I really don’t know the joints in it. And this is not something that can be known through extensive experience. Not to mention these people around her.
She explained to Zhou Zheng in a low voice: "A person with such character as Mr. Xu is afraid that what he says is one thing and what he does is another. Since the old master of Shao Qing's family is strict, it can be seen that they are not allowed to enter the house." He said that he would not let the government pay the porter's wages, but we can't see their account books, who knows how they will keep accounts.
"It's different to let those helpers be porters. They were originally hired temporarily. It takes a day to help check the road guides and goods, and it takes a day to help us pick things. Master Xu doesn't have to pay them at all, let alone take money. Use this matter as an excuse, and report to the public account separately.”
Zhou Zheng is also a person who manages a kiln factory, and he immediately understood the key points. He nodded repeatedly, and looked at Song Jiyun with a little more admiration.
Shao Qing had other plans.
He and Song Jiyun whispered: "I'm afraid that this surname Xu still has doubts about us. He wants to send us to the city, so let him do it. We just saved the porter's money."
Song Jiyun has come all the way, mostly relying on Shao Qing to manage up and down, she nodded again and again: "It's all up to Mr. Shao to decide!"
Shao Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and with a smile, he hooked his shoulders with Zhou Zheng and proudly said: "How is it? I'm not bragging, am I? When I arrive in Nanjing, what name card do I want, sir, this face is the name card."
Zhou Zheng had already re-examined his understanding of Shao Qing, and guessed that not only him, but also Young Master Yuan also came from an extraordinary background. But Shao Qing has a cheerful and lively personality, and is sincere and sincere to others. Even so, he still feels that Shao Qing is a rare and close friend, so he doesn't have any scruples about him because of this. Hearing this, he couldn't help but gave him a thumbs up, and said: "It is indeed worthy of being called 'Master Shao'!"
Shao Qing laughed out loud.
Everyone called him "Master Shao" half in jest and half in earnest.
He accepted it with ease.
The inspection department didn't dare to neglect them, Master Xu personally ordered the trackers to move the boat for them, so that they could go to the shore and drop off the goods quickly.
The people on the Fu Chuan who occupied their berth before kept poking their heads at them. When their ship docked and unloaded the goods, the steward who smiled at Shao Qing yesterday nodded and bowed and asked to see Shao Qing. Said: "We are from the royal family of Taicang, and we belonged to the same family as your old man five hundred years ago."
Everyone looked at Shao Qing.
Shao Qing let out a "bah" and said, "What kind of relatives do you care about? Our old man went to Xiangtan and lived thousands of miles away from Taicang. Even five hundred years ago, there was no way we could be a family!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go into the city!"
Everyone laughed.
Song Jiyun knew something called "family tree".
She asked Shao Qing in a low voice: "Is it really okay?"
Shao Qing pouted disdainfully, and said: "It's just that there is a third-rank official in the family, Sheng Enzhenglong, who dares to come to Nanjing to play wild. Don't worry about them!"
This is not Song Jiyun's field of expertise, so she has no choice but to listen to Shao Qing.
When she got off the boat and landed, the housekeeper had already brought a carriage to pick her up.
The style of the carriage is very ordinary, it is used by ordinary people with a flat top, but the car body is very exquisitely carved, and the four corners are bounded with brass, which is polished and polished. Silver chi embroidery belt embroidered with silk thread.
The green mantle and the silver chi embroidered belt are all things that can only be used by senior officials above the third rank.
Song Jiyun was shocked!
She knew that Yuan Yunzhong had an extraordinary background, but she didn't expect such an extraordinary one!
Look at the butler, he looks about forty years old, with fair skin and a good appearance, wearing a parrot green lu silk padded gown, if he is not seen on this occasion, anyone will think that he looks like a rich and pampered man the big lord.
Who is Won Yun-jung?
What are you doing in Jingdezhen?
After he can move freely, he can obviously leave, so why does he still rely on her?
Will he have something to do with the smuggling case of King Ning?
Song Jiyun's mind was in a mess, but at this moment, she could only keep all the confusion in her heart.
Shao Qing introduced that the housekeeper's surname is Wang, and his name is a rising character: "You can call him steward Wang. When you were young, you used to serve the old man, and now you are in charge of the general affairs in Nanjing. If you have anything to do, just tell him He is."
Having served the old man, he seems to have the same surname as the old man. Song Jiyun has no common sense and can't treat him as an ordinary manager.
She stepped forward to salute Steward Wang gracefully.
Steward Wang hurriedly avoided, politely yet modestly said: "You are the fourth young master's distinguished guest, so I dare not treat you as a gift."
Talk about a Beijing film.
In his previous life, Song Jiyun ran around and was proficient in several languages and dialects. He would say what kind of people he met, and the Beijing film came out as soon as he slipped: "Please tell me!"
Steward Wang couldn't hide his surprise, but he didn't ask any more questions, but he showed a lot of enthusiasm for Song Jiyun's attitude.
Zhou Zheng and the others were going to **** the goods into the city, but Manager Wang left someone to help, and said pointedly: "It will be easier to enter the city if someone leads the way."
Song Jiyun had already seen Xiaguan Wharf, so naturally she would not refuse Steward Wang's kindness, thanked him, and Shao Qing and Xiang Ye escorted her into the city.
In the previous life, transportation was convenient, and it was rare for so many people to gather in one place.
Now walking all the way, needless to say, crowds brush shoulder to shoulder, there are thousands of shops everywhere, shop fronts are open, and shouts come and go, which still makes Song Jiyun look left and right, feasting his eyes.
The carriage passed the Guozijian, turned a corner, and entered a bluestone corridor that was still shaded by trees in winter. The hustle and bustle of the city was immediately blocked from the corridor, quiet and peaceful.
The carriage stopped directly outside a hanging flower door with white walls and black tiles. The three-story Ruyi door with dripping eaves and mahogany roof is carved with seven or eight three-dimensional patterns, such as step by step, four seasons, and horse to success. Delicacy needs to be described as uncanny workmanship.
Song Jiyun remained calm and asked Shao Qing, "Do I want to live in the inner courtyard?"
Babies, please ask for a recommendation ticket...
