The Demon Fox Wife is a Foodie/

Chapter 86 Jiang Tong

"Hahaha! I forgot! I'm Jiang Tong, and people in the martial arts world call me Chu Jing's all-knowing expert! Jingdou Prefecture Governor Jiang Wuyan is my father, and I'm well-informed in Chu Jing. I know a little bit about everything! Just the names, heights, family backgrounds, and personality habits of these officials sitting opposite me are not unknown to me. Brother, you've asked the right person!" The man smiled proudly..

Good fellow! The governor of Jingdou is responsible for the social order of the entire Chu capital. It seems that all the government offices in Chu capital are under his father's control. He is also a second-grade official in the imperial court. Is he still considered a minor official? Other than the prime minister and the prince, the two heads of officials, the rest are at most on the same level as your father, right? Liu Yueqi asked,"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! You have such a high status. Why do you have to sit in the back seat? You should sit in the first few seats.".

"Cough cough…" Jiang Tong seemed to blush for a moment. He scratched his head and said indignantly,"Those bastards look down on me as a scholar. I was sitting well in front, but they forced me to come to the back!" Liu Yueqi was a little confused. Did he really look down on scholars? He pushed the son of a second-rank official to the bottom? Liu Yueqi felt that this guy must be lying, but she had no evidence, so she could only let him be. Anyway, she couldn't afford to offend him..

So he laughed dryly and said nothing.

Jiang Tong thought for a moment and continued to ask,"Brother Liuyue, after you said that you are a businessman, what exactly does your family do? Can you tell me…I always feel that Liuyue's surname is a little familiar…".

"It's nothing. My father and uncle have teamed up to open some restaurants. It's not bad to earn a little money to live on…but it's hard to be elegant..

” "Restaurant…restaurant…" Jiang Tong patted his head and his eyes lit up."I remember now! Is the Dark Fragrance Restaurant that has been very popular recently opened by your family? Liu Yueqi…Liu Yueqi! You are the eldest son of Glazed Moon Manor! Liu Yueqi! Qian Tuwuliang!" "???" Liu Yueqi was impressed by this so-called Chu Jing know-it-all. He knew how idle he was usually without thinking about such a nook and cranny... "Sigh, sigh! Brother Liuyue, look, we've gotten to know each other. When I go to Dark Fragrance Restaurant for dinner, you have to give me a discount! I went to eat once yesterday and spent two taels of silver. I was almost killed by my father…" Liu Yueqi cupped her fists and said,"Erm…If I were here, I would definitely help Young Master Jiang speak up. If it really doesn't work out, I'll treat Young Master Jiang!" She felt that this person was quite interesting. This shameless character was comparable to him…However, she didn't lack anything else. Money was something that Liu Yueqi didn't lack. How could real good things be measured by ordinary things?.

"That's a good relationship..." Although Jiang Tong was dressed like a scholar, he still leaned over and patted Liu Yueqi's shoulder. He said,"Brother Liuyue, I think you seem to be very interested in those girls opposite you. If you like them, I can basically get all their information for you as long as they are someone I know... including those that are more private. If you get this information, it will be much more convenient for you to chase them!" Am I that obvious? Liu Yueqi was stunned. Just now, it was Brother Liuyue calling him Brother Liuyue, but now he's calling him Brother. It seems that you really consider yourself a senior in this regard... However, he was still quite interested in the gossip of Chu Jing and the other ladies…It seemed like it was something engraved in a man's bones and would not disappear just because he had someone by his side…Plus, Qing 'er was not by his side at this time. Cough cough, secretly paying attention…There should be nothing wrong with it, right? "Brother Jiang, are you serious?" Liu Yueqi immediately revealed a smile."Brother Jiang, can you really get information about those officials?" "Of course! People in Jianghu call Chu Jing a know-it-all, but it's just a false reputation?" Jiang Tong patted his chest and said sneakily,"I saw that you were very interested in the woman at the first table, right?" "I'm ashamed…I'm of a low status and I don't know any of the ladies opposite. The lady at the head table must be Prime Minister Wang's daughter! She's really a shy flower…" Jiang Tong immediately whispered to Liu Yueqi,"Sigh! You guessed it right. That girl is indeed Wang Erzhe's daughter. She is the treasure in the old man's palm! She is extremely precious. Moreover, regardless of her beauty or figure, she is considered to be the best in the whole of Chujing! It's just... it's just that this girl can't be wanted. Brother, you should change someone else...".

Liu Yueqi smiled bitterly and said,"Brother Jiang, you must be joking…She's the daughter of the Prime Minister, and I'm just a commoner. How can I be high up in the world?".

"It's not a matter of whether one is high or not. Wang Erzhe is the head of civil officials. If his daughter marries a merchant, it will lower the King's guard…If she really marries His Highness, the King might not agree to the merger of civil officials and generals!" Jiang Tong's voice became lower and lower. He knew that what he said was a little rebellious and must not spread..

Liu Yueqi suddenly ate a big melon, and her curiosity was immediately aroused."Oh? Brother Jiang, tell me quickly? What does it mean to marry the Crown Prince?".

:.

: "You may not know, but Wang Shishi's matter is no longer considered a secret among us children of the government..

She…is in love with Prince Chu Yun and even said that she won't marry anyone other than Brother Yun 'er. If it weren't for the fact that Prince Chu has no intention of marrying, and Prime Minister Wang stopped her, these two would probably have asked King Chu to bestow a marriage on them!"Jiang Tong said this with endless energy." Brother, think about it. Once the head of civil officials and the head of military generals get married, won't most of the imperial court belong to their family? Although our King Chu is kind, he definitely can't tolerate such a thing happening!"In addition, Prince Chu Yun's reputation is much better than the Crown Prince's. It's fine if Chu Gang is in power, but if Chu Hua is in power, wouldn't he be overpowered the moment he goes up?" "Dear King Chu Lie and King Chu are family members after all. Whoever becomes the king of Chu is also the Chu family's world. Why must brothers kill each other…" Jiang Tong rolled his eyes at him, thinking that this little brother was too naive."Brother! This is an emperor's house. Although the king and the prince are only one word apart, their status is worlds apart! Don't you believe it? Although our Chu is a small country and cannot compare to an emperor's house in the Central Plains, this kind of scheming and power struggle is common!" Liu Yueqi smiled faintly and didn't say anything else..

He had never met Chu King Chu Gang, nor Prince Chu Lie, so it was too early to draw a conclusion. Moreover…Chu King Chu Gang was in his prime. Chu Lie or Chu Yun wanted to become king…unless they rebelled! Moreover, with Chu King's extremely high status in the hearts of the people, the probability of success in rebellion was less than 10%. As long as the King of Chu is still around, Chu will not be in chaos. Even if you civil officials and generals unite, so what? The King of Chu has plenty of time to deal with you! "Brother Jiang, as the son of an official of the imperial court, it's not good for you to talk about the royal family behind your back. Aren't you afraid that I'll report you?" Liu Yueqi asked jokingly..

"Hey, hey, hey! I'm only telling you this because I treat you as a friend! When I look at Brother Liuyue, I don't think she's the kind of person who betrays her friends!" Jiang Tong looked indignant."Please don't sell me out!" Liu Yueqi secretly laughed in her heart. Even if I wanted to report him, it would still be your father's responsibility in the end…If it weren't for the fact that I don't have a background, how would you dare to tell me this?.

"Cough cough cough! Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get back to the topic. Little brother, besides Wang Shishi, have you taken a fancy to any other girl? For example, the one in red sitting in the sixth row is the daughter of the Minister of Revenue. She's not bad looking, but she's a little small…but how can she be fair to the world if she doesn't have a chest? Your family is in business, so if you build a good relationship with the Ministry of Revenue, you'll have a limitless future!"Jiang Tong became more and more excited as he spoke."Also, look at the girl in purple sitting in the middle. Although she doesn't look as good as the others, her figure…tsk, she's even better than Wang Shishi. Moreover, she's the precious daughter of Minister Zhao. Minister Zhao is famous for being a noble in Chu Jing. Many people in the family are officials…" Liu Yueqi was speechless as she watched Jiang Tong get more and more excited..

Liu Yueqi had only a brief understanding of the official ranks and meritorious nobles of Chu. As Chu was only a small country, its official system was largely influenced by the Chen State of the Central Plains, but it was not completely copied. Compared to the complicated officialdom of the Chen State, it was much simpler here..

For example, there are only three ministries left in the State of Chu from the six ministries of the Central Plains: the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Punishment. As for the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry, there is no corresponding official position..

There were also many nobles in the Chu capital. They were all large families. The entire family had a close relationship with the officialdom. For this point, all generations could not avoid customs..

However, as they talked, they finally slowly talked about Bai Yeqing, who was sitting at the end of the hall..

Since they were talking about beauty, Bai Yeqing, who was basically glowing all the time, naturally could not be ignored..

When Liu Yueqi looked over, she realized that Sister Xiaobai was chatting with the two girls around her. The two girls looked happy, but Sister Xiaobai seemed a little confused... "Brother Jiang, I think the woman in white sitting at the back is not bad. Do you have any news about her?" At this moment, Liu Yueqi suddenly smiled and said,.

Actually, Liu Yueqi would be disgusted when she saw others doing it, but when it was her turn... it felt really good..

Of course, this also had something to do with people. The first reason he pretended to be like this was to show off his wife. Of course, he could only secretly show off in front of Chu Jing's know-it-all. If he showed off in front of everyone... Liu Yueqi would not be so shameless..

Secondly, he also wanted to know if Chu Jing knew anything about Bai Yeqing. Logically speaking, Sister Xiao Bai usually stayed indoors. There seemed to be only one rumor about Sister Xiao Bai in the streets…and that was that she was very good-looking and had once attracted the attention of the Crown Prince..

As for who had actually seen Sister Xiaobai's face…it was definitely very rare! Just as Liu Yueqi was looking at Jiang Tong, Jiang Tong also looked at Sister Xiaobai for a second or two. Then, he slowly said,"That... seems to be the young lady of the Bai residence. If I remember correctly... isn't that your fiancée?" Then, Liu Yueqi's smile froze on her face.
