Zhang Yang followed Li Mi's confidant Qingshan to the county government office. He had the prince's private seal. How can the county magistrate not show off his face? So he followed the instructions and asked Zhang Yang to get a new book smoothly.
Household post.
In addition, I also made an appointment with the county magistrate for several official visits.
It was said that someone in the court was easy to do, so Zhang Yang happily returned to the village with his things, trying to get the matter done within two days.
In two days, he will have to go north to Beijing with the prince.
Then I ran around town for a long time, and through Master Hong's connections, I finally bought three good shops and two houses of similar size.
I just spent all the five hundred taels of silver.
Among the three shops, one is in a pretty good location. It is a two-story shop that is suitable for opening a ready-to-wear shop. The remaining two are one with a one-room front and the other with a two-room front. The location is good or not, and they can be rented out to collect rent.
, these two shops will be used as dowry for Lihua from now on.
In addition, there is a second-level house, which is also used as a dowry for Lihua.
The other second-level house was for his father and his family to live when they went to town to do business. It was not far from the shop, just in the alley behind it. The shop was open and closed every day, so it was very convenient to go back and forth.
Because he got the household registration first, some of the government seals were lost, and he immediately prepared the registration as soon as he showed it to the scribe at the town office. Therefore, the names of all the properties Zhang Yang bought were the names changed by his father. Li
Winter melon.
It has nothing to do with the Zhang family.
Zhang Yang had done all this and was carrying a bunch of things close to his body. He felt very happy. From now on, their family's life would be settled well.
But this is all the money his mother earned by herself. The twenty or thirty taels he saved are not enough.
After returning the third brother's daughter-in-law's book, Zhang Yang took his twenty or so taels and thought about it, he still wanted to contribute some money to buy things for his family, so he simply decorated the house where he wanted to live.
Some of the furniture was ready-made, and some of it was purchased if it was not available. Then, the bedding and other items were all bought, and all I had to do was wait for Mrs. Chen to come and sew the suit and cover it up.
I also bought everything in the kitchen.
After finishing these things, it was getting dark today and he could not return to the village for the time being. Zhang Yang casually ate a bowl of noodles on the street and prepared to go back to Fifth Master's place to sleep.
As soon as I gave him the money, he stood up and walked forward when he met a little beggar running towards him. When he saw him, his eyes lit up and he came up to him, "Brother Yang! You are here! Old Man Lei asked me to come looking for you! I'm still afraid of you.
I’m not in town, come on, come with me, I won’t be able to see you when it’s too late!”
With that said, he pulled Zhang Yang and turned into Bianchong Street.
Zhang Yang followed up calmly and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
The little beggar had a happy expression on his face, "It's just the fun of your cousin! Old man Lei asked me to come look for you when he saw me! I haven't had time to take a second look! In short, it's a big bustle, it's late.
Everyone is done making trouble!"
Zhang Song?
As Zhang Yang listened, he thought of what old man Lei told him that day, that Zhang Song was seduced by a pretty widow.
It's only been a few days, why is there so much fuss? Was someone caught raped by the Ge family? Or something?
Don't tell me, Zhang Song has such a brain, is that pretty widow really that good? After going there once, you can't leave her behind?
He also likes to see this excitement!
Hearing this, Zhang Yang stepped up his steps excitedly, and then he simply dragged the little beggar away.
Just like last year, I saw Zhang Gugua compete with others for a bird in a teahouse, but failed to win, which made a big joke. He was outside watching the fun at the time!
He couldn't help it, the father and son, one taller than the other, were looking at him with their noses. He just wanted to watch their fun!
Anyway, it was not him who caused the bustle, it was their own fault. They were living a good life on the hard-earned money of others, but they did not cherish it themselves.
snort.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhang Yang led the little beggar to Maoer Hutong.
When Old Man Lei saw Zhang Yang coming, he waved to him, pointed to the house inside, and said with a curl of his lips: "It's still noisy! The young master from the pavilion chief's family brought several people and blocked them in the courtyard. Who are the neighbors around here?
Dare to start a fight? Your cousin will probably get a lot of pain."
"The son of the pavilion chief's family?" Zhang Yang looked at that house and saw that the door was ajar, with several families outside looking in, but they didn't dare to get closer because they could vaguely hear the screams inside.
"No! This pretty widow, her man has been dead for more than a year, and she has never lost her sweetheart. The young master from the pavilion chief's family is also a frequent visitor to her place. He is so jealous of her that he comes here every day.
Once.
Today is also a coincidence. I just watched your cousin go in. Not a quarter of an hour later, Mr. Meng also came. At that moment, I knew that there must be something exciting today! Your cousin is also unlucky! Other men
He was fine when he came here, and no one encountered Mr. Meng, but he did today!"
"Just a moment after Mr. Meng entered, there was a commotion in the house. His servants threw a piece of silver at the door and asked me to come and help him!"
Old man Lei spoke enthusiastically, took out a piece of silver and showed it to Zhang Yang. He had made a lot of money from the bustle today, enough to eat and drink for the next few days.
After that, he looked at Zhang Yang, "I said, I called you to watch the fun, you don't want to save your cousin, do you?"
That's not a good thing. Last year, when this man ridiculed Zhang Yang, he heard it.
He also disliked Zhang Yang's shabby clothes and let him wander around the town, let alone his cousin, because it would be embarrassing for him!
People like this who are nothing deserve to be beaten.
Still a scholar!
Bah, grab a widow from someone else! What a rare treasure!
save him?
Zhang Yang shook his head. He went to save him after he was full.
I won't get a thank you from him for saving me. I don't think this person feels so angry that he saw the joke and has to scold him.
He didn't want to take the blame for it.
Instead, he wanted to add some fire.
Don't everyone in the village think that Da Fang has a bright future? Both father and son are scholars, so the villagers know what kind of scholars they are.
Zhang Yang grinned, called the little beggar to come over, and said this and that.
As soon as the little beggar heard this, he went to Ge's house which was not far from Cangshan Lane.
Old man Lei listened and patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder, "You kid! That's okay!"
Then the two of them hid behind a big tree, waiting to watch the excitement.
Not long after, I saw Ge Fuzi and his son and several strong men from the neighbors who were close to each other coming from the other side of the street in a large number, and then all the way into Mao'er Alley.
"It's over there! Mr. Zhang is being beaten!" The little beggar who led the way retreated and stepped aside.
When Ge Fuzi entered the alley, he heard the familiar shouts in the courtyard without asking anyone. He quickly waved his hand and rushed in with everyone.
…
A quarter of an hour later, Gefu and his son walked out with livid faces, followed by the half-dead Zhang Song who was being carried by several people.
Passing by the big tree, one could still hear the son of Kufuzi pouting to the side unluckily and saying to his father: "Dad, look, this is the good young man and good son-in-law you have chosen!"
The faces of the neighbors who were helping were all bright and pretty, but Ge Fuzi had an ugly look on his face, "Isn't that embarrassing enough? Let's talk about it when we go home!"
After they left, Meng Tingsheng, who was swinging his sleeves and holding his hands behind his back, also came out with his servants.
The pretty widow chased her out, still holding Meng Tingsheng back in the rain.
But Meng Ting didn't even look back and walked away.
After seeing the excitement, Zhang Yang grinned and called the little beggar to give him some instructions, asking him to go to the morning market tomorrow to tell all about this. There are many people in that market, and there are many people in the villages ten miles away! By the way, he gave it to him
Buy candies with a handful of copper coins.
