Zhang Yuan heard that Qiu Chengyun's hometown was in Yuhang, and he was delighted! "Since Eunuch Qiu requested Hangzhou,
Then Eunuch Lao Zhong will make the right decision - Eunuch, I will go and summon Ma Qianji's brother-in-law Qin Minping, and I will ask him personally, how about it?"
Eunuch Zhong said: "Okay, let him come in." Then he asked a young eunuch to follow Zhang Yuan out. This young eunuch was not a legal eunuch, but came from the palace to seek refuge with His Majesty. 1 The young eunuch's surname is Gao, twelve,
When he was three years old, he called Eunuch Zhong his godfather.
Zhang Yuan and the young eunuch went out to the gatehouse of the Weaving Department. Qin Minping, Mu Jingyan, Mu Zhenzhen, Wuling and two stone pillar soldiers were waiting there. Zhang Yuan said to Qin Minping: "Brother Qin, Eunuch Zhong has invited you.
" Qin Minping was overjoyed when he heard this. If Eunuch Zhong is willing to see him, he must be willing to intercede. His gratitude to Zhang Yuan is beyond words. He bowed to Zhang Yuan and then followed the two men.
People go in.
When they arrived at the dining hall, they saw Eunuch Zhong standing on the steps with his hands behind his back and said to Zhang Yuan: "Master Zhang is responsible for his own meal. Our family is full." He looked at Qin Minping and said: "You are the brother-in-law of Shizhu Xuanfu.
What a majestic man!"
Qin Minping crossed his hands and sang a promise: "Qin Minping, a native, comes to see Eunuch Zhong."
Eunuch Zhong said: "Come with us to the small hall to talk...turn around and walk towards the hall on the left.
Qin Minping looked at Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan said: "Eunuch Zhong is eager for merit and righteousness, and he has the style of the ancient sages. Brother Qin just responds quickly." Qin Minping nodded and followed Eunuch Zhong into the small hall.
Zhang Yuan stood at the foot of the wall for a while, but Eunuch Zhong didn't let Hua go with him. He must have wanted to ask Qin Minping something alone. Of course, he couldn't go without permission, so he had to eat first. He was just thinking and talking, and he really didn't eat a few bites of food.
Zhang Yuan walked into the dining hall, and the two maids hurriedly came to greet him and asked: "Master Zhang, do you want to cook some other food and wine? This dish is a bit cold." Zhang Yuan said: "Don't bother me, I can just eat some more."
." Sitting on the previous seat, one of the beautiful maids heated the wine with wine, and the other poured out the remaining wine for Zhang Yuan and poured it on again, then stepped aside, and behind the green curtain, the sound of flowing flutes gurgled out again.
.
Zhang Yuan thought to himself: "This Eunuch Zhong really knows how to enjoy himself. He even plays the flute while eating." After listening for a while, he said: "There is no need to play the flute. It's not tiring to play for so long." There was silence behind the green curtain.
Zhang Yuan drank a cup of warm imperial wine Han Tan Chun alone, ate some heavy Luo Jing noodles, then put down his chopsticks, and heard the maid next to him ask: "What kind of dishes do Mr. Zhang want to use? Just give me your orders."
"
Zhang Yuandao: "I'm full and I'll wait here for my father-in-law to summon me."
Another maid quickly brought a cup of hot tea, as well as fruit oil and black and white cakes.
Ganlu cakes are these refreshments.
Zhang Yuan took a sip of tea and praised: "This is Jianning tribute tea, and it is well cooked." The beautiful maid on the left with two pear dimples said: "Young Master has good taste, this is Jianning tribute tea."
The garden heralds spring,."
Zhang Yuan said "hmm" and said no more. The eunuch had a weird temper, especially towards women, and seemed to be more possessive. He had to be careful not to cause trouble.
The cup of tea was bottomed out, and before he saw Eunuch Zhong coming, Zhang Yuan was a little anxious and did not dare to trouble these two beautiful maids. He walked outside the hall and saw the little eunuch standing by the small hall, so he greeted: "1 Xiao Gao
"My father-in-law." The little eunuch came over and asked with a smile on his face: "What are your orders, Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Yuan asked the young eunuch to take him to relieve himself. When he came back, he saw Qin Minping bowing and exiting the small hall, so he stepped forward and asked, "Brother Qin, have you told Eunuch Zhong the whole story?"
Qin Minping said: "Everyone has reported that Eunuch Zhong is a benevolent and righteous man, and he has graciously agreed to intercede with Eunuch Qiu." Zhang Yuan asked Qin Minping to wait a moment. He entered the small hall and saluted Eunuch Zhong and said, "Thank you very much, Eunuch, for the delicious food and hospitality. 1.
Resign."
Eunuch Zhong said: "Our family promised to intercede with Qiu Chengyun, but this person is greedy and stingy. He wants to siphon off 50,000 taels of mine silver and take advantage of the opportunity to rely on Ma Qiancheng. It will not be easy for him to spit it out.
." Zhang Yuandao said: "Since Eunuch Qiu's old father is in Yuhang, we can ask Mrs. Qin to ask for a favor from his father. Eunuch Zhong should be able to convince Eunuch Qiu to do this."
Eunuch Zhong nodded and said: "Let's do our best. Everyone from the Ma family has arrived in Hangzhou. I guess Qiu Chengyun will be here soon. You just stay here for a few days. Then you and our family can lobby Qiu Chengyun."
Zhang Yuan thought that there were still some days until the seventh day of March. After all, Qin Liangyu's side of the matter was important, so he bowed and said, "Yes."
Eunuch Zhong asked him to move to the Weaving Department again, but Zhang Yuan declined, saying that his brother-in-law Shang Zhoude was still waiting for him.
Zhang Yuan and Qin Min said goodbye to Eunuch Zhong and went out to call Mu Jingyan and his daughter. Wu Ling and two Shizhu soldiers entered the city from Yongjin Gate and found a restaurant for dinner. Zhang Yuan had already eaten, so he could eat any more at this time.
By the time we got back to the port of the canal, it was already early Haichu.
Zhang Yuan went to the Wumingwa ship to tell Shang Zhoude about his meeting with Eunuch Zhong just now. Shang Zhoude was very pleased to see that things went smoothly and said: "Then we will travel to the West Lake tomorrow, and we will almost leave the day after tomorrow.
Please stay here for a few more days.,,
Zhang Yuan had just returned to the white-topped boat with tiled tiles in Sanming, and before he could sit down, Qin Minping invited him to the red-headed camphor boat to discuss matters. When he arrived at the red-headed camphor boat, Qin Liangyu, mother and son, knelt down to salute him. How dare Zhang Yuan do that, he knelt down to return the gift.
They got up to discuss the matter of persuading Qiu Chengyun. Zhang Yuan asked Qin Minping to take a few more soldiers to Yuhang tomorrow to find Qiu Chengyun's family. Qin Minping might as well be polite. The soldiers can be more arrogant, using soft and hard tactics, interceding and threatening. Qin Liangyu praised: "Mr. Zhang
Wisdom and insight into people's hearts, it is really a blessing for me, the native people of Shizhu, to meet Mr. Zhang this time.
After discussing for a while, Qin Minping sent Zhang Yuan back to the ship. The oil lamp in the small cabin was dim. Wu Ling couldn't hold back his sleepiness. Mu Zhenzhen said: "I'm here. Xiao Wu, you go to sleep first. I will serve Ling when the master comes back."
So he went to bed first. When Zhang Yuan came back, he saw Mu Zhenzhen kneeling on the bed and reading the small regular script he had written yesterday. It was a copy of Zhu Zhishan's "Foreign Master" - "Do you really know the calligraphy too?" Zhang Yuan bowed.
Entering the cabin, he asked with a smile.
Mu Zhenzhen had already washed herself. The high bun of a fallen woman had been removed. Her long hair was tied into a large bundle with a green cotton handkerchief hanging behind her head. Because she was sitting on her knees, the ends of her hair were dragged straight to the banquet, as if
Xianyun sighed and Mu Zhenzhen hurriedly put the small letters on the small letters and said with slightly red cheeks: "My servant only recognizes my own name and my father's name, but not the other characters. Oh,
I also recognize the words Dashan Temple, Daxiong Hall, Medicine Master Hall, Guanyin Hall, and Chengyou Temple."
Zhang Yuan took off his shoes and sat on his back, smiling: "So you can recognize all the characters that you often see, so you know a lot. If every character is as big as an orange, you will have a basket to put it in."
Mu Zhenzhen pursed her lips and said shyly, "Young Master is making fun of my little maid." This sounded a bit like withdrawal, but this fallen girl lost her mother when she was young and had never been pampered by anyone, so withdrawing was a bit of a withdrawal.
It's stiff, like a civet cat stretching out its claws to test, and it will retract at any time.
But just such a blunt withdrawal made Zhang Yuan's heart skip a beat and he asked: "Then you just looked at these small regular scripts I wrote. How many words do you recognize in them?" Suddenly he stretched out his hand and waved it to his nose, and said with a smile:
"Go and bring me some water to wash my feet. It stinks."
Mu Zhenzhen laughed loudly, stood up quickly, got out of the hatch, quickly brought a tub of hot water in, placed it at Zhang Yuan's feet, squatted down and checked the water temperature with his hands, then raised his head
He said: "Master, wait a moment, the water is still a little hot." He put his hand into the water and made gentle circles to make the water cool down faster.
Zhang Yuan saw that the tip of Mu Zhenzhen's hand quickly turned red from the heat, so he also reached out to explore the water. Wow, it was so hot that it almost made it blister. Then he looked at Mu Zhenzhen, paddling circles in the water as if nothing had happened.
The fallen girl dares to go barefoot in the snow or take eggs from boiling water. Water and fire will not immerse her. This is not because she has practiced martial arts, but because her hands and feet are calloused and she is good and patient.
"Master, okay, now you can try it." Mu Zhenzhen withdrew his hand and wanted to wipe it on the skirt of his clothes. When he lowered his head and saw that it was new clothes, he held his hands to dry them.
Zhang Yuan put his feet into the wooden basin, but the water was still scalding his feet. He resisted not lifting his feet. It was unbearable at first, but he got better after a while. He felt so hot that he felt sweat on his forehead, but he felt comfortable all over. Mu Zhenzhen hesitated and said
: "Master, do you want your maid to wash your feet?" As far as she knew, young masters from wealthy families would have their maids or servants serve like this.
Zhang Yuan looked at Mu Zhenzhen with a smile. He met Qin Liangyu today and tried his best to persuade Eunuch Zhong. This was for a few years later. This was very tiring. Now he might as well tease this personal maid a little and relax with a joke.
Relax and ask, "Are you willing?"
Mu Zhenzhen's snow-white cheeks turned red and she whispered: "My maid is willing." Zhang Yuan was about to come over and said hurriedly: "No, no, no, I'll do it myself, I'm just kidding." Seeing Mu Zhenzhen looked at his rough body
Palm, face turned pale again, knowing that this fallen girl had misunderstood. This girl was both sensitive and had low self-esteem. She grew up in a fallen street and was bullied. Her feeling of being born inferior to others was unforgettable. One original smile said
: "Don't think so wildly. I don't mean that you have thick hands. I'm ticklish. If you scratch the bottom of my feet, I'll laugh so hard that I'll step over the basin."
Mu Zhenzhen became happy all of a sudden and said, "1, the maid will be very careful not to touch the soles of the young master's feet."
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "I don't dare to take it seriously. The real hand is for wielding the small panlong stick, not for rubbing people's feet. Just like your father, who is skilled in martial arts, how can he be a sedan bearer all his life? I will make plans for your father."
If you have the opportunity to serve in the army, your father will definitely be able to make military achievements and stand out in the army. As for you really"
Mu Zhenzhen's eyes were full of joy and he said: "My servant will follow the young master and protect him." He felt that he was not that capable and was embarrassed to say that he was protecting the young master.
Zhang Yuan said: "Yes, follow me and protect me." Mu Zhen was so happy that she almost threw the wooden basin into the river far away when she went to pour the water. When she returned to the cabin and saw that the young master had fallen asleep, she
After blowing out the lamp, she got under the quilt and took off her clothes. After taking off her clothes, she got out of the quilt and looked towards the young master. The young master's eyes were like stars, looking at her. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't scream.
, my heart almost jumped out of my chest, and my body became weak, so I heard the young master say: "Go to sleep, go to sleep, we will go to the West Lake tomorrow."@.
