Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi
Chapter 33 Sheng Hong ‘shows his ugliness’
Yangzhou
It was an important salt-producing land in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Nearly 30% of the salt produced in the country during the Great Zhou Dynasty was produced in Yangzhou.
Rich salt profits and relatively developed commerce made Yangzhou one of the most prosperous states and counties in the Zhou Dynasty.
Among the wealthiest families in Yangzhou City, the Bai family has the highest status.
The head of the Bai family was a poor man who lost his father when he was young and was raised by his mother alone.
After his mother passed away, the head of the Bai family boarded a ship and made a fortune at sea.
I don't know which big shot he got close to, and he became a famous salt merchant in Yangzhou.
A few years ago, the only daughter married into the Gu family of Ningyuan Marquis. Although the popularity has increased to a higher level, the Bai family has become even more low-key.
The previous general magistrate of Yangzhou was promoted to another prefecture and county that was not wealthy and became the magistrate.
The seat of general judge was vacant for a while.
However, not long after he was vacant, there was news from the official circles that this position was probably confirmed.
Bianjing,
Quyuan Street, Yongyihou Mansion.
Sheng Hong, who was the same age as himself, had already visited his father's hometown in Beijing and sat in the carriage with his eyes closed and thinking.
This time he returned to Beijing to show off his political achievements.
Especially in a case in Quanzhou, he knew every detail and saved a slandered Lao An man named Zhuang.
Zhuang's son was a well-known gentleman in Beijing, and his students often won the imperial examination.
Knowing what happened to his mother, he wrote a letter of thanks and sent it to the Ministry of Officials.
Sheng Hong also followed the wishes of his mother and mother-in-law and moved to Yangzhou instead of seeking to enter Beijing.
Added a half-level official,
Although it was a flat promotion, it was considered a promotion from Quanzhou to Yangzhou.
Moreover, Yangzhou is a tax-rich place, which is different from other places.
After finishing these things, I had a drink with my brother-in-law, Mr. Kang.
Today, Sheng Hong prepared gifts and came to visit Yongyi Hou Xu's mansion.
Through the servants and stewards Sheng Wei left in Jiying Lane, Sheng Hong learned about the general situation of the Xu family.
I have prepared several gifts that my brother and sister will like.
When Sheng Hongzhong was a Jinshi, there was some discord between the Xu family and the Sheng family.
Because the Xu family wanted their concubine daughter to marry into the Sheng family,
He looked down upon Sheng Hong more or less.
Sheng Hong has been an official for more than ten years, and he could have calmly dealt with what the Xu family did back then.
He was thinking about how to put things in perspective by visiting Xu's house.
It was at this time that the Sheng family's carriage stopped.
It turned out that there was some congestion at the entrance of the alley and there was a traffic jam.
The servants of the Sheng family in front were outside the car.
"My Lord, the carriage that just came out has given way to us. The sign belongs to the Yuan Family of Earl Zhongqin's Mansion."
"parking."
The Sheng family's carriage stopped and Sheng Hong got out of the carriage, just in time to see the Yuan family's carriage pulling over and preparing to leave.
"Stop the carriage at the entrance of Xu's mansion, and I'll go there right away."
Yuan Wenshao, who was driving with the driver on the carriage, saw Sheng Hong and hurriedly said:
"Father, the owner of the carriage opposite has come down and seems to be coming to say thank you."
Yuan Bingkai in the car naturally didn't care.
Sheng Hong got off the car and returned the favor to express his gratitude.
"Jiying Lane Shengjia, Sheng Hong, thank you so much for making way."
"Shang Shanda is so polite. We are from the Yuan family of Earl Zhongqin's mansion."
"Oh, Uncle Yuan! What are you doing?"
Yuan Bingkai cupped his hands and said, "I delivered the reward that His Majesty gave Sanlang Xu of the Marquis Mansion to the Marquis Mansion today. Could it be that Mr. Shanda also went to the Marquis Mansion?"
"Exactly, exactly."
"Come on, Shanda, hurry up. It's just a matter of giving way. You actually got out of the car to thank me. You are really a gentleman."
"Uncle, you are a true gentleman when you give way first. Then I will go first. I'll ask Uncle Fan Lou to talk to you if you have time."
"Okay, Shanda invites you, I will go back naturally."
The two families separated, and Sheng Hong turned back and walked towards the Hou Mansion.
The face was quite happy, which made it a good thing for everyone to have the opportunity to meet the nobles in the capital.
In the Xu family, when they heard that Sheng Hong was visiting, Mrs. Sun naturally asked her children to come and greet him.
According to seniority, Xu Minghua should be called Sheng Hong's cousin, but his cousin.
Xu Zaiduan and his siblings should be called Uncle Sheng Hong.
"Sheng Hong has met the Xu family's sister-in-law."
"Brother Hong, don't be too polite. Come on, children, I have met your uncle."
Xu Zaijing bowed and saluted, and looked up to see the uncle clearly.
Sheng·Tongpan·Hong Lang·Scumbag Daddy·Face First·Yuqingguan Screamer·Catching the Traitor·The Taken·Hong
It is said that Sheng Hong inherited his father Tanhua Lang.
Xu Zaijing felt it was true, because Sheng Hong was really a middle-aged handsome guy, and his experience as an official made his temperament very smooth and calm.
He is handsome and speaks nicely.
Moreover, it was afternoon when Sheng Hong picked it.
Lunch has been finished, and it’s still a long time before dinner.
Then the Xu family would have no possibility of keeping food, and would avoid a lot of trouble.
He is a standard feudal scholar-official,
In the main room of the central hall of the courtyard, Mr. Sun was sitting on the side of the main seat.
Naturally, people of the same seniority as her could not sit at the bottom. Fortunately, there was a servant, and Sheng Hong sat on the other side of Sun.
Naturally, the Xu family brothers and sisters sat at the bottom.
Sipping the tea soup, Sun said:
"Brother Hong, I often hear people in the capital say that His Majesty is full of praise for your handwriting."
"Sister-in-law is so complimentary. What I did was just a small skill."
"Brother Hong, you are being too modest. I wonder if I can let you pour some ink on me so that these motivated children can study every day."
Sheng Hong waved his hand and said quickly: "How can this be done?"
Xu Zaijing knew that his mother was telling the truth, and the current emperor remembered Sheng Hongsheng because of his handwriting.
So as soon as his mother spoke, Xu Zaijing stood up,
"Mom, I'm going to get pen and paper."
As he spoke, Xu Zaijing bowed and saluted Sheng Hong, and then ran out quickly.
"This kid makes Brother Hong laugh."
"Sister-in-law, I heard that Brother Jing showed off his talents at His Majesty's birthday banquet. He really earned face for our Xu family."
"Uncle Shi, your majesty's reward has arrived today. It's a beautiful horse."
Xu Zaizhang, who has a somewhat out-of-touch personality, said.
"Oh, your Majesty's reward must be something excellent."
Sheng Hong's words made Sun pick up the handkerchief and smile.
This was a reward earned by her son. Sheng Hong was so curious, which made Sun feel very comforted.
It's like praising someone. Don't praise them directly. Praise them for their children's good grades, their dog's obedience, and their house's cleanliness.
Xu Zaijing didn't walk quickly, and it took a while before he came in with a stack of paper.
Behind him was his young servant Qingyun, holding a pen and ink in his hand.
"Brother Hong, what a joke."
Sun said,
Because Xu Zaijing held a lot of paper.
Before Sun could finish speaking, Xu Zaijing went to move another desk.
Sheng Hong looked at Xu Zaijing who was busy and his brothers and sisters who were helping.
"Sister-in-law, these children in our Xu family are really good."
This main room is originally a place for entertaining guests.
If Sheng Hong is asked to write, he can't do it on a coffee table or a square table.
And Xu Zaijing moved the desk, which is a sign of sensibleness.
"Brother Hong, since the children are ready, then..."
"Sister-in-law, then I will show my shame."
As he spoke, Sheng Hong walked to the desk and took the high-quality fragrant ink handed over by Xu Zaiduan. He studied the ink while thinking, and at the same time sketched the words in his mind, as if he had a well-thought-out plan.
