Chapter 303 Notebook
Zhou Banxia's heart trembled. He dared to show favoritism. What happened to the second prince? What was his background? Did he know who Xuanzi was and his student deliberately muttered this.
"Don't worry." Gu Wenxuan pointed to his left ear and patted his wife's shoulder comfortingly with one hand, "With my current hearing ability, I can be sure that the mumbling was unintentional."
Yes, your hearing is much better.
Zhou Banxia nodded slowly, "Who was sitting next to him? Did they hear it? Did they pay attention to their expressions at that time?"
"There were two tables, I was sitting here, opposite was Senior Brother Zheng..."
Gu Wenxuan pointed at who was in the small group at that time and where they were sitting, "He is sitting in this position.
When that table was chatting, Senior Brother Zheng was telling Da Jiang that I don't drink or anything.
I deliberately pretended not to hear what he said. When I turned my head like this, I happened to see him lower his head and spit out the bones, and I happened to hear him muttering.
We were so far apart at that time, let alone everyone's loud voices, even if they were chatting softly, he just muttered half a sentence, and even Dajiang couldn't hear it, let alone me who was further away.
It was quite interesting to me to see him spitting out the bones. Generally speaking, few people would pick up the plate and spit out the bones, so he picked it up. Otherwise, no one would pay attention to what he was mumbling as he lowered his head and spit out the bones.
No matter how interesting it is, the most you can do is glance at him. It's impossible to stare at the bones and dregs that others have eaten.
It’s not disgusting, but you should also consider whether it would be rude to be seen by others when you are outside. ”
"Indeed."
If you are a mysophobic person, it is very rare to take another look at the bones and dregs that others have eaten. "Is he also a student of Jingshan Academy?"
"No."
Gu Wenxuan handed her a peach, "This brother, like Xuezheng, also has the surname Zhang. His given name is Zhang Ling, Shanling Ling, and his nickname is Qingshan, Zhang Qingshan. His native place is Dingzhou Prefecture. His mother currently lives in Tongzhou Prefecture, the capital. My father was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Longxing——"
A fellow Jinshi in the 18th year of Longxing in Dingzhou Prefecture?
"I know who the young master is, wait."
With that said, Zhou Banxia went to pull the drawer and took out the big book he had recorded.
The content recorded in this large 16-page notebook comes from personal and in-law information of relevant people obtained from various channels.
She was afraid that she would forget it after a long time, so she sorted out the information and recorded it one by one in her spare time.
"I remember before I came here, it was ranked eleventh in the Dingzhou column, and the page number seemed to be seventy-four." Gu Wenxuan reminded her when he saw her opening the big book.
Hearing this, Zhou Banxia didn't bother to look for it in the table of contents on the homepage, and decisively turned to page 74, "I'm so impressed with you, I even forgot which page I wrote."
"You didn't remember it carefully. There are many and complicated things.
Not to mention the income and expenditure account books, there are three or five favor registration forms, and I can remember them all. ”
"Thank you, I'll take it as a compliment." Zhou Banxia couldn't help but smile, "It's the human relationship between our small family and the big family, not three or five."
"Isn't the book from Dajiang Xiaohe a favor registration form?" Gu Wenxuan took the big book she handed her and opened it with both hands, "It's this family, his father Zhang Yan."
Zhou Banxia subconsciously picked up a ballpoint pen and planned to add the person's son's information, but suddenly remembered, "Which son is he?"
That’s a great question!
Gu Wenxuan laughed loudly, put the notebook on the table, and tapped a place on the page with his finger, "Lao Wu, the youngest son."
"It turns out to be this, the legendary Xiao Jiao'er among Zhang Yan's five sons.
Look here, I wrote about Lao Mu Sheng Zhu, whose mother loved her very much, and who studied under her elder sister and father-in-law——"
Gu Wenxuan laughed. Hearing his laughter, Zhou Banxia couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Don't think about it, this Mr. Zhang Yan and this Mr. Lin are close friends.
Look at this line of fine print. When Mr. Zhang went on a study tour in the south of the Yangtze River and encountered bandits, it was Mr. Lin who came down from the sky with his guards to save him.
Just wait a minute, I'll turn to Master Lin's page for you and you'll know.
Although Mr. Lin is not from Jingshan Academy, he is actually half of it. ”
"No need to turn it over." Gu Wenxuan held her hand down, "I have the impression that Mr. Lin's husband and master were classmates.
In other words, he was also a classmate with the headmaster of Jingshan Academy. Although Mr. Lin was from Jiangnan, he was also related to Jingshan Academy.
But judging from the situation, Mr. Lin has not had much contact with his husband. Looking at Zhang Qingshan’s behavior, what should I say? ”
"Xiao Jiao'er?"
Gu Wenxuan did not deny the title "Xiao Jiao'er" recorded on the page, "She is a bit squeamish.
When Yun Ke comes, he dislikes the fact that there is a restaurant in front of him and the accommodation is too noisy.
Think about it, there are small courtyards behind Yunke Lai, everyone is in charge of their own business, it's no big deal. If he doesn't, he will live in Juxian Building and eat in Yunke Lai. ”
Zhou Banxia chuckled.
"Isn't it interesting? But if you are not arrogant, you will not like others. At most, you will be indifferent, just like a child who has not grown up."
The youngest son of Lao Bengshengzhu was not only loved by his mother, but also treated as a treasure by his elder brothers and sisters. The family was not short of money, so I thought.
Zhou Banxia nodded thoughtfully, "So you deliberately led him to want to go with us. Do you want to find out what he heard from Mr. Lin and the others, or are there other reasons?"
"Both." Gu Wenxuan pointed at Zhang Yan's appointment resume on the page, "Here, he was awarded the same Jinshi. He once served as a county magistrate in Shanxi."
"Coal, coal origin?"
"Yes!" Gu Wenxuan gave Zhou Banxia an appreciative look, "Look at his resume again?"
"Wait a minute, here, during this period, I stayed in the Iron and Steel Department of the Ministry of Industry for three years, but I didn't have to deal with coal again."
"Smart!" Gu Wenxuan raised his thumbs, "Although this is a Tong Jinshi, except that he first served as a county official, the next one he held was not a regular position. Tong Jinshi is a bit unpleasant."
"Hey, like a lady and a Jinshi, Zeng Guofan."
Gu Wenxuan shook his head and smiled, "Not as good as Zeng Guofan, but he is still a Jinshi, much better than Juren.
Okay, let’s get down to business.
The husband is so shrewd that it is hard for me to ask him about some things.
For example, I'm afraid this person knows better whether briquettes have appeared or not.
If you think about Mr. Lin's life experience and what positions he has held, you think this Mr. Lin should have helped Zhang Yan and Mr. Zhang a lot, right? ”
Zhou Banxia nodded slowly, "It can be said that, regardless of whether it is true that Mr. Lin saved Mr. Zhang back then, the in-laws of the children will definitely help each other to some extent."
Gu Wenxuan immediately gave her an encouraging applause, "Clever! Come on, continue your speculation."
"Then if this family's private property is not good enough, it might be possible to invest in a coal mine?
I understand what you mean. "Zhou Banxia gave him a thumbs up, "It should be, to explain to Coal, even if there is no mine, there is a high probability that it will acquire shares from some major mining businessman. ”
