Chang Ning didn't care either. Zhao Hanzhang had already said that Fu Tinghan was equal to her. If anything happened to her, Fu Tinghan could take all the decisions.
Because of their marital relationship, Chang Ning indeed treated Fu Tinghan as his second master.
He was even worried that Fu Tinghan would compete with Zhao Hanzhang for power, but...
This Mr. Fu Dalang is really not interested in things like power. He is the one who is as gentle as a gentleman.
As long as he is given paper and pen, he can sit quietly all day long, and when he talks about county affairs... the most common thing he says is, "Ask Mr. Chang."
Otherwise, it’s, “Ask Hanzhang.”
Chang Ning didn't know if this marriage was intentional by Zhao Changyu, but he was very happy that the two masters got along so harmoniously and had a clear division of labor.
Chang Ning turned to Zhao Hanzhang and said: "Girl, Zhu Zhuan from Shu is going to hold a gluttonous banquet at the Song family. The notice has been sent. I asked about it and found out that he is going to sell iron pots at the banquet."
Zhao Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, "Has he left yet? I thought he was going to take the iron pot back to Shu to sell it."
"No," Chang Ning paused and said, "Maybe it's because of the lack of money."
He looked at Zhao Hanzhang meaningfully, "After all, these nine pots cost a lot."
Zhao Hanzhang: "..."
After thinking about it, she turned to Ting He and said, "Go to the Zhenbao Pavilion and ask the shopkeeper to take down two iron pots. Just place one pot. No matter who asks, there will only be one pot."
She smiled at Chang Ning and said, "It's not my fault. The gentlemen are generous, so we can't be stingy anymore. I'll send him a cook to help him later."
Seeing that she had handled it properly, Chang Ning nodded slightly and handed the post to her, "This is the post. Let the girl and the man go together that day."
Although Zhu Chuan is from Shu, his family business is not small and they can use many goods from Shu. Chang Ning does not want to lose such a big businessman.
After talking about Zhu Chuan, Chang Ning said casually, "Girl, Chen Zhou hasn't left yet. He also wants to attend Zhu Chuan's gluttonous banquet. Recently, he is looking for someone to take him. Do you want to meet him?"
Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said, "I told my uncle before me that he seems to dislike the Chen family very much."
So she could send the post about attending Zhao's banquet to Zhu Chuan, but not to Chen Zhou.
First, his identity is not recognized by everyone, and he does not have enough talent; second, it is because of Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming didn't like the Chen family, so of course Zhao Hanzhang couldn't make his elders sad.
With just one sentence, Chang Ning understood what she meant and immediately said: "I will find an excuse for you to refuse."
Zhao Hanzhang touched his chin and said: "If he is more generous, give me a craftsman who can print, even an apprentice."
Chang Ning:……
Although he was shocked by her shamelessness, Chang Ning quickly answered, "I will give you a hint."
The two people's eyes met, and their eyes were full of ambition. It is winter now, and everything is slow, including the transmission of news. It is not known how long it will take until Ji Yuan and Zhao Ming find the craftsmen from Luoyang, and the bookstore will be completed.
She would be very sad if there were no craftsmen inside.
How can you find eggs from just one place?
If you touch more, maybe you can find the eggs in the leaky nest?
A lord and a counselor looked at each other and laughed.
Chang Ning got the direction and was about to carry it out. Halfway through, he remembered and turned around to call Zhao Hanzhang, saying quietly: "Girl, you haven't gone to the front office to handle county affairs for several days."
Zhao Hanzhang: "Isn't it you? Is there a big case happening in Xiping County?"
That's not the case. Xiping County is very quiet. Even trivial cases cannot come to Zhao Hanzhang and are settled with the Li Zhenghe clan.
Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and said: "You can just handle these matters. If you can't decide anything, ask me again."
She is also very busy now.
Chang Ning thought of her unskilled marksmanship just now, and reluctantly nodded, forget it, they will still need the Lord's protection in the future, let her practice martial arts first.
Chenzhou still failed to integrate into the Runan gentry. Yes, it was the Runan gentry.
Because the weather was cold and the scribes were too casual, most of them left after attending Zhao's banquet, while a small number decided to stay in Xiping.
Some stayed in the inn of Zhao's Wubao, some stayed in the homes of friends of the Zhao family, and some stayed in the homes of local gentry such as the Song family and the Qian family.
These people feasted and had fun every day, enjoyed the snow, chanted poems, danced with swords and drank wine. Occasionally they took a look at the busy scene of Xiping County under Zhao Hanzhang's governance. Chen Zhou wanted to join them.
But they all rejected Chen Zhou's joining.
Chen Zhou expressed that he was very sad because he had no way out. After searching around, he found that Zhao Hanzhang was the only one with a glimmer of hope. After all, they had just made a business deal not long ago.
In order to express his respect for Zhao Hanzhang and to get the invitation to enter the Zhao family's banquet, he almost rushed back to Ancheng County to get the book she had ordered.
Ancheng County is not very far from Xiping, and the book arrived a few days ago. Unfortunately, Zhao's banquet has passed, and he did not get the invitation, let alone Zhao Ming's private banquet a few days ago, so he has no chance.
He felt that Zhu Chuan's gluttonous feast was the last chance. If he missed this time, it would be the New Year. He didn't mind staying in Xiping to celebrate the New Year, but I'm afraid the scribes didn't want to see him during the New Year.
So Chen Zhou gritted his teeth and visited the county government office again. This time, he brought his steward and a book list with him.
Zhao Hanzhang was not free, and it was said that he went to the countryside again for inspection.
Chen Zhou felt that she loved going to the countryside too much for inspections. For nearly a month, no matter when he came, she was always in the countryside, otherwise she was on her way to the countryside.
Chen Zhou sighed in disappointment, sat down with Chang Ning for a while, and then wanted to say goodbye and leave.
Chang Ning, who had always been quite polite to him, suddenly raised his head and glanced at the steward next to Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou didn't have any reaction yet. The steward was the first to react. After thinking about it, he asked Chen Zhou to wait while he took Chang Ning aside to talk, "Master Chang, you also know our husband's wish. Alas, it's a pity that we Chen Zhou
I am not familiar with my family in Xiping, so I would like to ask Master Chang to give me some advice."
After saying that, he put a purse into Chang Ning's hand.
Chang Ning pushed back and said: "I don't know what's going on. Someone in Xiping County seems to dislike Mr. Chen. As you know, we girls are walking on thin ice managing Xiping as women, so..."
Chang Ning gave him an idea, "If Mr. Chen has amazing literary talent, why worry about not being able to blend in with them?"
Steward: ...If their husband has this ability, why do they operate like this?
Wouldn't it be enough to just slap the scribes in the face with their literary works?
They just can't write it.
The steward stuffed the purse back again and asked in a low voice: "In Chief Chang's opinion, is there any other way?"
Chief Chang looked hesitant, maybe because he was too sincere, and finally said: "Although our girl is not easy to be the county king, her identity is here. If she can speak up, Mr. Zhao's matter will not be a problem."
The steward smiled and nodded, cursing in his mind, "Bullshit," pretending that he didn't know, saying that Zhao Hanzhang was difficult, that it was hard.
The Song family, Qian family and other gentry in the county shrank like quails and did not dare to speak out against Zhao Hanzhang's decision.
If it were said that it was all thanks to Zhao's support, I wouldn't believe it if I beat him to death.
But Zhao Hanzhang just refused to introduce Lang Jun, what could they do?
The steward tried his best to look at Chang Ning sincerely.
Chang Ning then hinted: "Our girl has built a bookstore in the city and wants to print some of her favorite books and manuscripts..."
