Although Zhang Juzheng was not a poor family, he was not a wealthy family, and even a military family. Qian Yuan cooked, and Zhang Juzheng's wife Li took her son to accompany him.

But now there are guests coming again. Li took his son back to the backyard. Brother Ikki was still reluctant to give in, staring at the unfinished Mapo tofu, yelling that he refused to leave.

"I didn't expect Zhancai to have this skill!" Wang Shizhen praised.

Master Xing pleased him and said, "For Bo's mother, she cooked in person, and the reputation of filial piety has been spread all over the southeast."

"Hmm?" Qian Yuan looked surprised, "Brother Yuanmei, don't you know?"

"What do you know?"

"During the provincial examination, Jingmei and I were in Hongzi. I didn't bring any food in the last show, and they all pointed at me..." Qian Yuan smiled casually and said, "Tsk tsk, Jingmei looked hungry that day, and she ate voraciously..."

"Is there such a thing?" Wang Shizhen was stunned. "The second brother came with two letters, but he didn't mention it..."

"That Master Xun must know." Qian Yuan turned his head to look at Xunshi with a smile, "This year, there must be Japanese pirates plundering Taicang, right?"

Fortunately, I lamented in my heart, and it was so familiar!

The Wang family was the first in Taicang. Last year, the Japanese pirates invaded wildly and the Wang family suffered heavy damage, but this was also their opportunity.

The Wang family is a traditional family of farming and reading, farming in front and reading in the back.

So in the first half of this year, countless self-cultivated farmers were out of clothing and food, and the Wang family bought land in large quantities. For the sake of reputation, the price was fair, but it also brought about a problem, cash flow shortage.

In May, I returned to Taicang and went to Huating and Hangzhou one after another. I wanted to postpone the dividends to Qian Yuan, but I didn't expect that I could not find anyone, and there was no one in Huizhou Prefecture... Of course, Qian Yuan was still traveling with Japanese pirates in Ningguo Prefecture at that time.

So, when he returned to Taicang, he suggested that Qian Yuan’s dividend be cut off, which took half a year.

Unfortunately, when I was lucky, I returned to the capital, and news came from the south. Yesterday, Qian Yuan entered the West Garden. His Majesty refused Cao Bangfu, and Qian Yuan beat Xu Fan again...

Wang Jun was also reluctant to give up the large amount of silver. In the past two or three years, Yingxing candy shops have spread all over the world, not to mention Zhejiang, Zhili, Fujian and other places, from Guangzhou to Sichuan to Sichuan in the south, and from Liaodong in the north, it is everywhere. The annual dividend is a silver that cannot be underestimated.

But after the rumors that Qian Yuanjian was in the Emperor's heart were spread, Wang Jun's deep inner weakness once again gained the upper hand. Even if he wanted to swallow the silver, he had to wait for Qian Yuan to resist.

Over the years, Qian Yuan’s reputation has spread throughout the country, but what impressed Wang Jun was all about what happened in Hangzhou three years ago.

So Wang Jun immediately sent Haoshi over and also took over the world's first son Wang Shizhen.

However, Wang Shizhen did not take care of these miscellaneous things in the mansion. Apart from official business, he only focused on writing poetry and papers, he could not hear Qian Yuan's meaning at all.

Fortunately, he smiled bitterly and bowed his hands, saying seriously: "This year, the Japanese pirates are becoming more and more rampant and they are not able to make ends meet. But how can the Taicang Wang family have been famous for hundreds of years be ruined by some money?"

"Zhancai is relieved that the second young master passed the 18th place in the provincial examination this year. After entering Beijing..." Xunshi glanced at Qian Yuan and frowned, and immediately changed his words: "No, let's go and write now to keep the second young master's food and clothing free of worries!"

Qian Yuanyu reminded earnestly: "That's good, that's good. Don't forget to bring food to the test, the capital is cold."

"Yes, yes, yes, I will remember, I will remember."

Wang Shizhen, who was standing beside him, was confused, but Zhang Juzheng thought. If he remembered correctly, Qian Yuan seemed to be cooperating with the Wang family in Taicang to run a sugar shop.

"Zhan Cai, it is said that he had a fight with the eldest son of Xu Pavilion yesterday?" Wang Shizhen was too lazy to think too much and asked directly: "It was inconvenient to come yesterday. Things have spread today. You are too reckless. If you don't talk about anything else, you are still a fellow villager."

"It's not just fellow villagers, but also classmates." Qian Yuan poked out his feet, and Xiao Hei rushed up flexibly along his legs and lay on Qian Yuan's shoulder.

Wang Shizhen shook his head, "I offended the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel and Huating again. Could it be that you want to rely on Yan Fenyi?"

At this time, another knock on the door sounded.

Zhang Juzheng pushed the door open and came back a moment later. He handed a famous post to Qian Yuan, "Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!"

Qian Yuan opened his eyes and said, "It was Yan Shifan's post, and he was invited to come to him."

Turning back to see Wang Shizhen with an ugly face, Qian Yuan grinned and glared at Zhang Juzheng, "This is destroying my platform, is it necessary to add that sentence?"

Zhang Juzheng said, "There is only one person in the capital in the golden silk outline on the post."

In history, Wang Shizhen and Yan Song had a deep hatred. His father Wang Jun was said to have died at the hands of Yan Song. Of course, Wang Jun is still alive now, but Wang Shizhen finally had a good friend Yang Jisheng died at the hands of Yan Dang.

Although Yang Jisheng died of illness in prison, everyone in the court knew it well.

Looking at Wang Shizhen's back, Qian Yuan spread his hands at Zhang Juzheng, "Does he think I will surrender to the Yan Party?"

"I offended Mr. Xu and the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel in succession, and it is said that I have had a good relationship with Da Sikong again. It is not surprising that he thinks this way."

Dasikong is the Minister of Works.

Zhao Wenhua, who returned to Beijing and was promoted to the Minister of Works, is now an important official in the court. After all, he is one of the nine ministers. But in fact, he can't make any decision because the Ministry of Works has long been Yan Shifan's private land, and he himself is here as he passes on.

"So, it's decided that it's Hu Ruzhen?" Zhao Wenhua looked happy.

"About 80%." Yan Shifan said with a smile: "That guy has given him a lot of good things."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll pick out the best ones and look back and respect my merciful father." Zhao Wenhua whispered: "It is said that Qian Zhancai of Huating said good things to Hu Ruzhen in Xiyuan yesterday?"

"Tsk tsk, this Qian Yuan..."

Yan Shifan stood up and saluted halfway. Yan Song slowly walked into the study with the help of his servant.

After leaning against the soft couch and drinking hot soup, Yan Song turned around and asked, "Just talk about Qian Zhancai just now?"

"Yes, adoptive father."

"Yesterday it was said that Huating's eldest son was beaten very badly. The young man was flying and had a big temper."

"The adoptive father, Qian Yuan is actually kind to others in the southeast and has a wide range of connections. All civil and military officials are quite close to him and respect his integrity."

Zhao Wenhua never thought of violating the alliance he had made with Qian Yuan back then, and talked about Qian Yuan's various legendary deeds in the southeast with erectile sensations. He heard Yan Song and Yan Shifan all enjoyed it.

"It's really a character." Yan Shifan said, "And this time I'm quite sensible. I thought I could make trouble."

"Make a fool?"

"Zhang Banzhou was escorted to Beijing, and no one of his generals spoke. Only Qian Zhan saw him off. It is said that there was a fight before."

Zhao Wenhua knew very well about this matter. It was for the stay and departure of Tian Zhou's wolf soldiers. For this matter, Qian Yuan negotiated with Zhao Wenhua, Zhang Jing and Hu Zongxian one after another, and finally ensured that the wolf soldiers remained in the southeast.

After thinking about it in my mind, Zhao Wenhua changed the matter and said, "If it weren't for this Tianzhou wolf soldier, the situation in the southeast would be very difficult to say, but Qian Zhancai was also for his hometown, which is understandable."

"Well, it doesn't matter."

Zhao Wenhua asked again: "I have a lot of contact with this boy in Hangzhou, should I invite him..."

Yan Shifan shook his head, "No need."

"Brother Donglou, Qian Zhancai is definitely an ordinary thing, even if he fails the exam next year..."

Yan Shifan looked at Zhao Wenhua strangely, "I have sent the post."

"Huh?" Yan Song snorted, "The choice of Zhejiang Zhi Governor has not yet been decided. In the next few days, will you be so impatient?"

"Father, I sent my own post and invited him to the villa."
