Enter the room 2

Chapter 211
Shao Qing didn't even look at the cross-eyed man, 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 mistakes in public; cross-eyed was fired and never hired; the inspection department compensated Song Jiyun and others with 200 taels of silver and the curtain came to an end.

All the people watching the scene clapped their hands and applauded.

Master Xu also enthusiastically asked the porter to send them into the city in person: "I will pay 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! However," 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 Yuan Yunzhong asked Shao Qing to escort them to Nanjing, not to mention the famous posts he brought, as long as the business is 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 one day to help check the road guides and goods, and it takes one 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 Li was also in charge of a kiln factory, so he immediately understood the key points. He nodded repeatedly, and looked at Song Jiyun with more admiration.

Shao Qing had other plans.

He and Song Jiyun whispered: "I'm afraid that this surname Xu still has doubts about us. If he wants to send us into the city, 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 things up and down, she nodded again and again: "It's all up to Mr. Shao to decide!"

Only then did Shao Qing heave a sigh of relief, and with a smile, he hooked shoulders with Zhou Zheng and said triumphantly, "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 extraordinary backgrounds.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 inspectors 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 to unload the goods quickly.

The people on the Fu Chuan who occupied their berth 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 were in the same family as your old man 500 years ago."

Everyone looked at Shao Qing.

Shao Qing let out a "bah" and said, "What kind of relatives do you care about? Our grandpa went to Xiangtan and lived thousands of miles away from Taicang. Even 500 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.

However, Song Jiyun knew that there was something called "family tree".

She asked Shao Qing in a low voice: "Is it really all right?"

Shao Qing curled his lips in disdain, 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. I don't think their official position will last long. 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, and he is wearing a parrot green Lulu silk padded robe. the big lord.

Who is Yuan Yunzhong?
What to do in Jingdezhen?
After he could move freely, he could obviously leave, so why did he still rely on her?

Could 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 single name is a rising character: "You can call him steward Wang. When he was young, he served the old man, and now he is 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 Beijing movies.

In his previous life, Song Jiyun ran around and was proficient in several languages ​​and dialects. He would say whatever he met with the people he met, and the Beijing film came out as soon as he slipped: "Please introduce 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 wanted to escort 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, the transportation was convenient and the large cities were scattered. Nanjing has long lost its previous prosperity.

Now along the way, there are crowds of people brushing each other, needless to say, 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, ask for a recommendation ticket...
