The Yangzhou Governor Li Mingyu often smiled slightly and looked gloomy. "It is said that the "Pearls and Jades" in Wanfang Seal Society are very good?"

When Song Tianxing heard this, he felt bitter and he was no longer as calm as he had just arrived. "All seal clubs... all come out, and I, Wan Fang, is the leader of the guild..." [The latest updates are all in search.]

"What a guild leader..." Li Mingyu smiled and raised his hand to stop Song Tianxing from speaking. "My father-in-law, my son-in-law has told you several times. The more you are the leader, the more you should think more. It is natural for merchants to make profits, but if you just stare at A Du in your eyes, you will lose your grudges. As the leader of the Yangzhou Seal Society, you cannot contribute any benefits to local scholars. How can you convince others in the long run?"

Upon hearing this, Song Tianxing's body trembled and his face changed, but he immediately recovered. "What the virtuous son-in-law said is that several teachers in the provincial school have recently criticized the "Zhu Yu Ji" and thought it was too hindered the academic style. I immediately stopped selling after I went back. I also vigorously promoted the "Zheng Xin Ji"."

When she said this, Song Tianxing was bleeding in her heart. The loss of stopping the sale of "Zhu Yu Ji" was not counted. If she wanted to promote "Zheng Xin Ji", there was no other way except to reduce the price, and the price reduction must not be low, otherwise it would be of no effect.

When the carving and printing "Zhengxin Collection" was not exquisite, it was conceivable that the cost was high. This would be a loss to the bone after doing this.

After hearing what Song Tianxing said so explicitly, Li Mingyu frowned again, but his face finally calmed down. He picked up the teacup and took a sip and said calmly: "I forgot to ask just now, what is the matter with my father-in-law here?"

After seeing the story of "Zhengxin Ji", Song Tianxing finally barely passed the test. After a long sigh, he told Tang Song about opening a seal club. "To open a seal club, you must be approved by the state corps to become a successful person. It's a wise man..."

"A scholar from the north who is not familiar with the place, can he still stump his father-in-law if he wants to open a seal club?"

"This person is different." Song Tianxing said about Crystal again, "It is not an exaggeration to wait for Qin Yi to say that Yangzhou is the best. If you have such a high-end skill, you can tell the origin of Lu Qi without looking at the body of the piano. This kind of person is just a close servant next to Shangguan Li! I... I really can't make up my mind..."

Over the years, Li Mingyu knew very well about Song Tianxing and knew that he was not a person who likes to speak nonsense. For a moment, he felt something was wrong, "Oh?"

Song Tianxingjing waited for a while but couldn't see Li Mingyu talking, so he spoke, "The son-in-law came from a famous family in the north and is knowledgeable, have you ever heard of this person?"

Li Mingyu shook his head after thinking for a long time.

"In this case, I may as well give him a difficult situation first, and use this to try his best to determine the response based on his background..."

"Shangguan Li" Li Mingyu pronounced the name several times and finally nodded.

Seeing that the matter was over, Song Tianxing stopped staying any more. After asking his daughter to tell the common words of the family, he left the state yamen.

On the third day after that, Zheng Yue was indeed rejected when he went to the prefecture yamen to request documents from the printing press.

There is no reason to refuse to apply for the Yinshe Prefecture Office, and the reasons given by the official were really bad. At this moment, Zheng Yue knew that someone was making trouble and saying too much was useless, so he left the Prefecture Office and went all the way to search for Tang Song.

At this time, Tang Song was still living in the inn and was discussing with Fuxiang and others. Zheng Yue said the whole story, but he hadn't said anything. Fuxiang sneered first, "Okay, just a mere state government office dares to make things difficult for you. Isn't the young master going to the banquet tonight? Just call the police officer and shouted, "Just yamen will do it obediently..."

Hearing this, Zheng Yue was shocked. He has been in Yangzhou for many years and naturally knew that the weight of the Maritime Commission could be invited by the Maritime Commission! What background does this man hide?..." While guessing, Zheng Yue muttered that the fat man Zheng in the capital was so tight that he had to worry about the rest of his life.

Tang Song didn't accept Fuxiang's words, pondered for a while and said to Zheng Yue: "I'll leave this matter to me. In more than a month, a group of craftsmen will come from the north. Perhaps the placement of these people with family members will be troubled by Manager Zheng..."

When the craftsmen from the north heard this, Zheng Yue was even more generous and responded respectfully.

Tang Song sent him out and after the discussion with Fuxiang and others, he looked up and saw the sun shadows slanting west outside the window. After the time when the yamen was dispersed, he left the inn and took a car to Shugangzicheng.

Once he was born again and again, he successfully arrived in front of Lu Xiang's mansion. The old disciple could still recognize him, so he reported it without any delay.

When the old gate came out from inside, the main gate opened first. When Tang Song was about to step in, he was stopped by the old gate. After a while, he saw Lu Xiang, who was dressed in neat clothes, first greeted the inside.

Lu Xiangxian, who was slightly thin, still had the elegant demeanor he had seen in the capital at the time. He had not yet reached the door and said, "I have long admired the name of Tang Song in Xiangzhou, and I will finally see you today..."

His eyes seemed to have a little myopia. Only when he said this was the case was clear about Tang Song's appearance, "Is it you?"

Tang Song smiled and greeted him, "I parted in the Lu Mansion that day, and I finally saw you again today. Fortunately, I am very lucky!"

Thinking that the last time he met Tang Song was when he was scolded by his father, Lu Xiang smiled bitterly, "I'll make you laugh..."

"A gentleman's demeanor is not as good as he is, so he laughs at the sight of Lord Xiao Lu's words..."

Lu Xiang was open-minded and did not worry too much about this old thing. He led Tang Song to the mansion, "The letter from my father said that it was you, Tang Song, who delivered the letter from your family on your behalf, why is he now Shangguan Li?" As he said, Lu Xiang raised the letter from his hand first.

"First misunderstanding, then I went with the flow..." Tang Song told Zhang Xu and others that he had misunderstood, "It just so happened that I came to Jiangnan and didn't want people to know much. I was trying to be a person who was convenient for his actions, so I would be wrong..."

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the flower hall and exchanged greetings and sat down. Lu Xiang first asked about the matter of general subjects.

"After the scientific examination is over in February next year, Tongke, Xingxian, Gyeonggi Province, will now move to Jiangnan. Two days ago, I have already found a place in the countryside of Anyi. The scenery is quiet and not attracting attention. It is not far from Yangzhou. It is a great place to run Tongke. By the way, Tongke two-character tree attracts wind. I intend to change it into a new school..."

Lu Xiang listened quietly first, "It is difficult to determine whether the general subject is good or bad, but I am the same as my father, and I am quite expecting this. Although the official who is a kind of official in the current class talks about literary and essays is indeed literary and elegant, but he is concerned about political principles..."

Speaking of this, Lu Xiangxian shook his head slightly, "Since this way, local government affairs have always been controlled by minor officials. The so-called "officials are as clear as water but not as slippery as oil." These officials have no hope of entering the current situation, and they will inevitably focus on their own interests. In this way, local government affairs can be imagined. If your knowledge... the new school can really produce officials who are skilled in civil affairs, then the people will be more fortunate than the court..."

Lu Xiangxian talked about his demeanor and was calm. When talking about political affairs, he was sincere and did not show any pretentiousness. He vaguely had the style of his father, gentleman Lu. After he finished speaking, Tang Song had no smile on his face and said, "Brother Xiangxian's words are exactly my original intention..."

"Today, although the results of the general subject are difficult to determine, your courage to face difficulties without avoiding the wind and rain is really admirable..." Lu Xiang, with clear eyes, smiled at Tang Song first, "Now you should be busy, but you come to my cold house. You must have entered the Three Treasures Palace without any trouble. Tell me, what's the matter? In the letter you brought that day, my father told me if I can help you, my father will teach you here, I dare not do my best?"

"It is a great blessing to be able to meet the father and son..." Tang Song stood up and bowed to Lu Xiang first to thank him, and then said his future intention.

"Wanfang Seal Society is not only the leader of the city, but also the leader of the seal society in Jiangnan provinces. Song Yingxing's young daughter married Li Mingyu, the governor of Yangzhou, two years ago, as the second concubine. The two actually have a relative of the father-in-law and son-in-law..."

After explaining the truth, Lu Xiang stood up first, "But there is no difficulty in this matter. I will just go to the state yamen now..."

Tang Song was naturally happy that he was willing to do this, and the two left the Lu Mansion together.

In the house behind the Yangzhou Prefecture Office, Li Mingyu heard that Lu Xiang had come first and immediately went out to greet him.

After welcoming, there was a lot of greetings. When Lu Xiang first explained his purpose, Li Mingyu suddenly slapped the teacup in his hand on the small table beside him, "What happened?"

Lu Xiangxian's head, "It's true..."

"It must be the good things that the cunning officials in the yamen did behind my back..." After saying that, Li Mingyu glanced at Lu Xiang first and then slapped his forehead, and sighed: "Yes, yes, this matter cannot be separated from the old father in the inner room. The door is not banned. If the emperor does not make such a serious incident, it will be spread to Brother Xiangxian's ears, which is really shameful..."

Seeing him like this, Lu Xiang smiled and advised: "The official waves are like water, and the cunning officials are like oil.

There are many officials in the world who suffer from this. Mingyu doesn’t have to blame himself for this. If the matter of the seal club is accurate, it is…”

"This is natural." Li Mingyu smiled bitterly and asked curiously: "Xiangxian brother has the spirit of respecting his father, and he has never been tempted to talk about human kindness. Who is the one who opened the seal club? He has such a big face to be able to seek my brother's disciple?"

"It's not a matter of illegal things that open the seal club, so it's a matter of human nature. As for the Kai Yin Club, it's a man from the north who called Shangguan Li. Somehow I found my mansion and was not familiar with him..."

Li Mingyu's eyes turned around Lu Xiangxian several times, and said with a smile: "So that's it! Brother Xiangxian, don't worry, after I go to the yamen tomorrow, I will personally remind those cunning officials not to make things difficult for them..."

"Thank you so much." Lu Xiang was not a man who liked to visit people's private houses. Since the matter was finished, he would not leave any more. After Li Mingyu sent him out, he ordered a servant to send a message to Wanfang Yin Society.

After doing this, Li Mingyu did not rush back. After standing at the door for a while, he called his most trusted butler.

After finishing the matter about Shangguan Li, Li Mingyu explained: "It's time for you to give New Year gifts. You should leave a few days before returning to the North and have to explore Shangguan Li's background..."

The housekeeper bowed and agreed, and Li Mingyu turned around and returned to the back house.

After receiving the news from the state yamen, Song Tianxing felt nervous. He could actually invite Lu Xiangxian? Putting aside his reputation in Yangzhou, there is also a man who is the second assistant to the political affairs hall behind him. What is Shangguan Li's origin? Can Lu Xiang, who has never been pleaded with, run to his son-in-law in person?

I originally wanted to explore Tang Song's background, but after all this trouble, it became more and more unfathomable.

Although the details were not clear, the appearance of Lu Xiangxian was enough for Song Tianxing to be afraid. He hurriedly retreated the people arranged to stay in Tang Song inn and waited for the son-in-law to make plans after he had accurate news.

After this incident, the prefecture government approved the establishment of the seal company to handle the documents smoothly. Just then the end of the year was approaching. After Tang Song sent Fuxiang away, who had finished the work and returned to Beijing, he also stopped what he had to do and took Shangguan Li and Shangguan Jin to live in the elegant courtyard of Shuijing for a lively New Year.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, just as February of the New Year was approaching, a team of carriages and horses came from north to a large courtyard that Zheng Yue had prepared long ago. In addition to the craftsmen, there were a total of ten sets of fired mud movable characters.

Therefore, the seventh seal company in Yangzhou called "Hongxue" is about to open.
