Zhang Song felt even calmer after returning home from the cold wind.
But he couldn't wait any longer and wanted to slap Yang Kang in the face right away.
He couldn't wait until the first lunar month, so he had to ask his father to leave for the capital immediately.
Zhang Gugua is a person who is more honorable than his son. When his son said that he had been humiliated in such a way tonight, he couldn't help it.
"When we meet the Marquis and have the Marquis as our backer, who is the son of the troubled Chief Minister? Don't worry, Song'er. My father will leave for the capital tomorrow. If you tolerate him any longer, at most
Two months later, let’s see how surprised they are!”
Mrs. Feng also felt distressed that her son was being looked down upon, and immediately urged her to pack Zhang Gugua's luggage.
"We are not short of money now. My eldest brother sent me another two hundred taels of silver. You should take it with you. We haven't been to the capital yet. I don't know how much money we have to spend. In case it is not enough, you will arrive in town tomorrow."
Go ahead, ask your elder brother for more advice. Keep some extra money with you. Remember to rent a good carriage so that you can ride comfortably on the road."
Zhang Guangquan has refused to wrong himself since he was a child, and he has never endured hardship. He naturally nodded when he heard this.
The couple seemed to regard the eldest brother of the Feng family as a money bag, asking for money without feeling anything.
What Zhang Guquan thought was that their family had Lord Marquis as their backer, and his son had a bright future, so it was right for his uncle to fawn over them.
If he doesn't curry favor now, he won't be happy to curry favor with them when his son becomes an official!
Zhang Guquan was full of expectations for this trip to the capital, and even foresaw the scene when he arrived in the capital and took the token to the Marquis of Changye's Mansion to be worshiped as a guest of honor by the Marquis.
Therefore, early the next morning, I got on the luxurious carriage specially rented, and excitedly left the city gate and embarked on the road north.
Arriving in Panshi Town at around noon, he first went to his uncle's house to stay one night and asked for some money before continuing his journey early tomorrow morning.
The Feng family uncle's hospitality of fine wine and delicious food was boasted by Zhang Guanggu, and after knowing the purpose of his trip to the capital, and seeing that his brother-in-law had such an opportunity, he immediately became more enthusiastic and excited, and without Zhang Guanggu asking, he took the initiative to offer money again
.
The more capable the brother-in-law's family is, the further his nephew can travel, which will be of great benefit to him!
If you have a nephew who will become a high official in the future, why worry about business being difficult?
After lunch, it was still early. Zhang Gugua thought that he had not been back to the town for a long time, and he was about to go to the capital to pursue a good future. He felt extremely proud and couldn't help but want to show off to the people he used to hang out with.
.
Something like that happened to his family last year, but he didn't forget the way those people laughed. This time, he just wanted to go back to the scene.
He had money, so he was even more generous. He asked for the best private room in the teahouse he used to frequent, ordered fine tea, and invited singers to sing in the private room.
A few of them used to play with Zhang Gugua, and they know him very well, and they also know what happened to his family. Didn't they hide away with their tails between their legs last year? Now that they are back and acting like this, they seem to have made a fortune.
of.
Everyone couldn't help but inquire openly or covertly.
Zhang Gugua came back to show off. He was not afraid of others asking, but he was afraid that they would not ask.
Immediately he began to brag triumphantly.
In a moment, everyone in the private room knew that Zhang Song, who had been admitted to the town school, had been admitted to Tanshan Academy.
Zhang Gugua also had a good opportunity to establish friendship with the Marquis in the capital. This time he was going to the capital to visit the Marquis and find a good future for his son.
Immediately, everyone started to fawn over Zhang Pumpkin.
Being so fawned over by everyone, Zhang Gugua felt even more proud, and his whole body became elated.
He came out of the private room in a very good mood. With his chin in the air, he didn't see the road clearly and bumped into the waiter who brought tea.
If the waiter hadn't reacted quickly, the pot of hot tea would have been poured on him.
But he didn't care about this, and scolded the waiter all the time. He didn't stop until the waiter repeatedly apologized and begged for mercy.
Turning his head, he discovered that the person sitting at a table not far away was none other than Li Donggua, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
When he thought of something, he immediately walked over and sneered, "Oh, isn't this the second child? Why don't you work for the Cheng family? Why are you here in town? Are you sitting here drinking tea and listening to books?"
That tone almost didn't say that you deserved this.
Li Donggua was a little startled when he saw Zhang Gugua appearing here. He was not in the county seat, so why did he come back to the town?
The son and others were busy opening the shop, and he happened to meet Manager Qu of the Cheng family. This man used to order some wood carvings from him. Knowing that he was no longer in the Cheng family, he planned to open a shop by himself, so he wanted to open a joint venture with him.
He was a wood carving shop, so he invited him to come to this teahouse.
Not long after I sat down, I bumped into Zhang Gugua.
"Brother." He called out calmly, not intending to say much to anyone.
Zhang Gugua was irritated by his attitude. He thought that even a bastard with muddy legs was worthy of sitting in this teahouse. Looking at what he was wearing, it turned out to be cotton. When could he afford to wear fine cotton?
"Let me ask you, why didn't you work in the Cheng family and why did you come here? If you don't work, how will you support your family? You are so self-righteous that you want to take your mother to support you. If you don't make any money, how will you support yourself? Otherwise, it's up to you.
Son? I said that your son, who has been wandering around the town all day long and not doing his job properly, can he get money back? Even if he does, it is not legitimate money at all!"
"It's the same as giving birth to a son. Your nephew is now a student of Tanshan Academy, and he will definitely become an official in the future."
"You are so annoying to your mother to divide the family, but you have to make things better. Please don't come to your door in the future!"
As he said that, he dusted off the non-existent dust on his silk robe and looked down at Li Donggua with the attitude of an eldest brother reprimanding his younger brother.
He hated Li Donggua with all his heart, and felt that if Li Donggua hadn't been pestering the old woman to separate the family, the incident of his father killing Li Dachui wouldn't have happened.
How could he be ridiculed for having a murderer father, expelled from the town school, and leave Panshi Town with his family in despair?
But now it's better. His son is so promising and is about to have a big backer. They will regret it in the future.
By then, I'm afraid the old lady will also regret it, right?
If we don't separate the families, they can all benefit from it.
But now, well, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for them, it's good. Want to take advantage of it? Don't even think about it!
Li Donggua was fine, but Manager Qu across from him was surprised when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Gugua in a strange way.
He had also heard about Brother Li's family affairs. If he had known about the virtues of his half-brother, he would never have thought that he would learn from them personally before he realized that rumors were better than seeing them!
This man has such a big face, he looks like he is carrying a huge fortune on his back. Why is he so proud?
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but said, "I invited Brother Li to come to discuss business. Brother Li is a good woodcarver. I plan to open a shop with him. We are currently discussing the articles of association of the shop.
