Huang Mingcheng picked up the bowl of tea and said: "We can find someone who can talk to Su Nang to be a matchmaker and plead for our two families."

"Those who can talk to Su Nang are all Mongolians, and they may not be able to intercede for us." Zhang Guangkun said with a frown.

Huang Mingcheng shook his head slightly and said: "No, there is another person who can speak in front of Su Nang, and he is not a Mongolian, but a Han."

"There are people like this, how come I didn't know about it!" Zhang Guangkun looked thoughtful.

Huang Mingcheng picked up the bowl, took a sip of the tea inside, and reminded him: "The leader of the Han merchants in Bansheng City is Mr. Zhao of the Zhao family."

"How could I forget about Mr. Zhao?" Zhang Guangkun slapped his forehead in annoyance and said immediately, "Mr. Zhao was personally summoned by An Da Khan."

Huang Mingcheng smiled and said: "As long as Mrs. Zhao is willing to intercede on our behalf, whether it is Su Nang or other Mongolian nobles, and you have to give him some thin noodles, you and I will naturally be fine.

"

"Brother Huang still has a way." Zhang Guangkun praised, and then added, "But I heard that Mr. Zhao always considers himself a Mongolian and never admits that he is a Han. Is he willing to take care of our affairs?"

"Don't worry!" Huang Mingcheng said, "We have normal business dealings with the Tiger Flag. Mr. Zhao knows this very well. We just asked Mr. Zhao to come forward to prevent the Mongols from taking advantage of the Tiger Flag.

The family business of two families.”

Zhang Guangkun sat up straight and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go see Mr. Zhao now."

With that said, he stood up.

"Wait a minute." Huang Mingcheng stopped him and said, "You don't plan to go see Mr. Zhao just like this, do you?"

Zhang Guangkun looked at his clothes and said, "There's nothing wrong with the clothes you're wearing! If Brother Huang thinks it's not good, I'll go back to the room and change into another one."

"It's not about your clothes." Huang Mingcheng said, "We are going to ask Mr. Zhao to help us find a bag to intercede. You can't go to Mr. Zhao empty-handed!"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, you can't go empty-handed." Zhang Guangkun suddenly realized, and immediately shouted outside the study, "Butler, butler."

After a few calls, Butler Zhang trotted in from outside, stood in front of Zhang Guangkun, and said respectfully: "Master, what are your orders?"

"Go and prepare a generous gift. I will take it to visit Mr. Zhao later." Zhang Guangkun told his housekeeper.

Butler Zhang responded: "Yes, I'll go get ready now."

After saying that, he exited the study room.

Huang Mingcheng, who was sitting on his seat, picked up the bowl and took a sip of tea and said: "Mr. Zhao doesn't like the tiger-character flag. Don't say anything good about the tiger-character flag when you see him."

"Don't worry, I know what I know." Zhang Guangkun nodded.

When the Tiger Character Banner first came to the grassland and wanted to cooperate with the Han merchants in Bansheng City, the Zhao family took the lead in preventing these powerful Han merchants in Bansheng City from cooperating with the Tiger Character Banner.

It was reported that Mrs. Zhao was dissatisfied with the Tiger Flag.

At this time, if they ask Mrs. Zhao to help them intercede with Su Nang, he will naturally not say anything that Mrs. Zhao doesn't like to hear.

Not long after, Butler Zhang, who was preparing to pray, came in from outside.

"Master, everything is ready. When will you use it?"

Zhang Guangkun looked at Huang Mingcheng and said, "Brother Huang, when are we going to visit Mr. Zhao?"

Huang Mingcheng, who was sitting on the seat, put down the tureen in his hand and said with a smile: "Since the things are ready, let's go now to save you a long night and many dreams."

Zhang Guangkun said to Butler Zhang: "Call a few servants, bring them with you, and follow me and Shopkeeper Huang to the Zhao Mansion."

Butler Zhang retreated from the study room again.

"Brother Huang, please!" Zhang Guangkun made a gesture of invitation.

Huang Mingcheng stood up, clapped his sleeves twice, and said, "Brother Zhang, please!"

The two people walked out of the study and came to the door of Zhang's house.

At this time, there were several men dressed as servants standing at the door, carrying burdens on their shoulders, and on both ends of the burden were carried the tributes sent to the Zhao Mansion.

The servants outside the door include not only servants from the Zhang family, but also servants from the Huang family.

Zhang Guangkun stepped on the horse-mounting stone, mounted the horse brought by Butler Zhang, and then said to Butler Zhang: "Don't go, just stay in the house."

"Yes." Butler Zhang bowed.

On the other side, Huang Mingcheng also rode on horseback, and then said to Zhang Guangkun: "Brother Zhang, let's go!"

"Okay." Zhang Guangkun agreed, flicked the reins, and said, "Drive!"

The horse moved forward slowly, and the servant carrying the load followed behind on foot.

Along the way, the two men encountered several waves of Mongolians, but none of the Han people were seen.

Every time they saw the Mongols, the two of them took their servants and hid on the roadside, leaving the entire road open for the Mongols to pass first.

Bansheng City is not a big city, and it is inferior to some counties in the Ming Dynasty.

Soon, the two people came to the gate of Zhao Mansion and reined in the reins.

"Go and call the door." Zhang Guangkun on horseback turned around and gave instructions to the servant who came with him.

A servant came forward, stood on the stone steps, raised his hand and knocked on the door knocker several times in a row.

"Who is it?" A voice responded from behind the door.

Then, the door of Zhao Mansion was opened a small crack, and an eye was exposed from inside.

Huang Mingcheng, who was on horseback, said: "Excuse me, please go in and tell me that Shopkeeper Zhang and Shopkeeper Huang from Bansheng City want to see Mr. Zhao."

The person behind the door seemed to recognize the man on horseback outside. The door opened a little wider, revealing a face and said: "Two shopkeepers, please wait a moment until the younger one comes in to report."

Huang Mingcheng nodded.

"Hurry up and say we have something urgent to see you." Zhang Guangkun added another sentence.

The servants of Zhao Mansion closed the door again, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

Not long after, the door of Zhao Mansion was opened again, and a middle-aged man walked out.

This person stood outside the threshold, raised his hands to Huang Mingcheng and Zhang Guangkun, and said: "Two shopkeepers, my old man has invited you."

Huang Mingcheng and Zhang Guangkun knew that he was the housekeeper of Zhao Mansion.

The two people got off the horse, and one of them, Huang Mingcheng, also cupped his hands and said, "Can I trouble you, Butler Zhao, to lead the way?"

"Two shopkeepers, please come with me." Butler Zhao made an invitation gesture toward the door.

Huang Mingcheng and Zhang Guangkun walked up the steps and walked into Zhao's house with Butler Zhao.

Behind them, servants walked in carrying burdens.

Several people walked through a corridor and came to the door of a room. Butler Zhao said, "Please come in, the old man is in the study."

With that said, Butler Zhao reached out and pushed open the study door.

Huang Mingcheng and Zhang Guangkun walked in.
