.Ten of the twelve large wooden boxes were locked, and it was difficult to open them at the moment. Now that he had the box of silver, Zhang Yuan was not in a hurry to open the other wooden boxes, but just pushed them one by one to look at them.
Judging by whether they are heavy or not, eight of the ten boxes are heavier and should be gold and silver. The other two are lighter and must be paintings, calligraphy, ancient books or rare antiques. Don’t worry about it for the time being——
Looking at Zhang Dai again, he was like a monkey picking corn, turning out all the scrolls in a box, unfolding one, admiring it for a moment, saying a few words of praise, then throwing it on Zhang Yuan's bed, taking another scroll to read, and finally said with a smile: "Meson,
Dong Qichang's most cherished collection of calligraphy and paintings is all here. If these are lost, Dong Qichang will be really angry to death."
Zhang Yuandao: "Now that these masterpieces of sages have fallen into the hands of our brothers, we love to cherish and collect them. They are in Dong's hands just as they are in our hands. As for these silvers, they are the people's wealth exploited by the Dong family, and they naturally belong to them."
Let’s use some of it to do good deeds and gain a good reputation.”
Zhang Dai said: "Jiezi, the overthrow of Dong Dong is mainly due to you. I was just watching the fun. The things in this box are also yours and are up to you to do with. As for those calligraphy and paintings, just give me a few of them."
Zhang Yuan then discussed with Zhang Dai to use the name of the Shanyin Zhang family to provide relief to the homeless households by the Changsheng Bridge that Dong Zuyuan had forced. This matter could be contacted by Laifu, who was by the Changsheng Bridge.
Resident——
It was decided that the two brothers would go to the inn dining room for dinner. It was already noon, so they had breakfast together. Zhang E, Yang Shixiang and others had also gotten up, but Lu Tao was not there. After asking, they found out that Lu Tao had brought two
A servant went to the government office to rescue his younger brother Lu Yangfang. Lu Yangfang was accused of raping a good family and imprisoned by Wu Long's men. Now that Dong Zuchang and Wu Long have been arrested, Lu Yangfang's case can certainly be overturned and he is innocent.
It should be no problem to be released from prison, but of course this requires Lu Tao to work hard to apply for rescue——
Zhang E said: "Why would someone like Lu Yangfang save him? Let him stay in prison so that he can avoid causing trouble to Sister Ruoxi and Brother-in-law Lu."
Zhang Dai said: "This can only be said by us. Brother-in-law Lu and Lu Yangfang are brothers. No matter how unbearable Lu Yangfang is, Brother-in-law Lu will do his best to save her."
Zhang E nodded and said: "That's right. If the eldest brother is imprisoned, then of course I will try my best to save him."
Zhang Dai was about to be moved when he suddenly stared and shouted: "Nonsense. Why should I go to jail!"
Zhang E laughed, and Yang Shixiang and others also laughed.
After lunch, Zhang Yuan called Laifu over and asked him what his future plans were. If he was willing to stay in his hometown of Huating, Zhang Yuan would buy him a house for him to grow old in. Update quickly.
Laifu quickly knelt down and said: "Master, the villain is Laifu. The master now knows the villain's loyalty. Of course the villain must follow the master."
Zhang Yuan said: "Well, if you follow me from now on, I won't ask you to sign any slave contract. I will hire you as my servant."
Laifu knelt and refused to get up: "If the master doesn't sign a slave contract with the villain, then the villain cannot be regarded as the master's person - the master still can't trust Laifu?"
Zhang Yuandao: "It's not that I can't believe it. You see, half of the evil deeds of the Huating Dong family were committed by their domestic slaves. Those domestic slaves took advantage of their power to bully others. It is really necessary, so I only hire slaves and do not accept slaves into the household registration."
Laifu swore that he would kneel down and become a slave of the Zhang Yuan family, otherwise he would not feel at ease.
Zhang Yuan still had something to tell Lai Fu, but he was too lazy to entangle with him on this matter. He just agreed in vain. Lai Fu was immediately overjoyed and kowtowed.
Zhang Yuan asked Lai Fu to search for the relocated households by the Changsheng Bridge. The Shanyin Zhang brothers would provide corresponding relief to those poor and displaced households. Lai Fu said happily: "Those are the neighbors of villains.
Their background is very clear, and the villain will go to them now." As he stood up to leave, Zhang Yuan said again: "Yesterday, Wang Dachui's mother, you should also go and visit me. I think Wang Dachui still has filial piety, so I promised to take care of her.
Mother, you can't break your promise. If you need money, just ask Wu Ling for it."
Laifu said: "I will go and understand the situation clearly first, and then I will report it to the young master." He rushed away happily, and met the shopkeeper of Wanghailou when he went out. The shopkeeper shouted: "Laifu, where did you go? I don't want to be here."
I'm working in a restaurant, right? Hehe, half of my salary will be deducted this month!"
The shopkeeper originally thought that Laifu would come to him in panic, but unexpectedly Laifu said: "I, Laifu, am now a member of Master Zhang's family, Master Zhang of Shanyin, yes, Mr. Zhang who betrayed Dong. My young master asked me to do something, so I am not free."
I'll take care of you, shopkeeper, you can find someone else to do my errand." After that, he strode away.
After Laifu left, Zhang E, Hong Daotai and other Qingpu students went to the government office to support Lu Tao and demanded severe punishment for Dong Zuyuan, Dong Zuchang and Songjiang gangsters. This case must be watched closely and the government must continue to exert pressure——
Zhang Yuan will not come forward now. The overall situation has been decided. He has many other things to do. He invited his elder brothers Zhang Dai and Yang Shixiang to review the 500 eight-part essays with him. This was what Yang Shixiang asked him to select and review. Yang Shixiang met Zhang
I have never forgotten this, and I am very happy. Zhang Yuan’s reputation today is even worse than last year. Taking advantage of the momentum of defeating Dong, he quickly released a collection of current articles selected by Zhang Yuan. It will definitely be a big seller, and Songjiang Paper is definitely expensive——
Through this overthrow of a director, Yang Shixiang has a deeper understanding of Zhang Yuan's scheming and abilities. Zhang Yuan is not only good at writing eight-legged essays. Such scheming and methods will surely make him rise in the sky in the future. Not to mention other things, Zhang Yuan alone
Yang Shixiang would be able to make a lot of money by running the election for his Qingpu Bookstore, so Yang Shixiang decided to share the profits of Zhang Yuan's collection of contemporary essays with Zhang Yuan 50-50 in the future -
There are nearly 200,000 words in the 500 articles on craftsmanship written by students from three counties in Songjiang. It takes a lot of time to read each article. Of course, three people can read it much faster. Yang Shixiang and Zhang Dai were each assigned 150 articles. Zhang Yuan invited
The two of them selected 100 articles from these 300 articles, and then he selected and commented on them.
The three of them had not read a few articles when Wu Ling came in and said, "Master, Mr. Yishan is here, and Mr. Yishan's parents are also here."
Zong Yishan once lived in Zhang Yuan's house for a few days, and Wu Ling always called him Master Yi Shan. Although he now knew that Zong Yishan was a slave like him, because the young master still respected Zong Yishan as before, Wu Ling
When Mu Zhenzhen and others saw Zong Yishan, they still addressed him as Young Master Yishan——
Zong Yishan's parents were both in their fifties, and they looked like they had lived a humble life for many years. When they saw Zhang Yuan coming out, they knelt down to greet him. Zhang Yuan rushed to support the two elders and said: "Two of them
You are an old man, Yi Shan and I are brothers, and you two are also my elders. Please sit down, please sit down."
Zhang Yuan asked Mu Zhenzhen to talk to the two old people. He took Zong Yishan's hand and entered the guest room and said: "Brother Zong, you have suffered a lot because of me. Now, all the hardships should be over."
It's time, brother Zong, don't worry, I will try to create another household registration for you to get rid of the shackles of the Dong family. Of course, brother Zong will need to change his name, and brother Zong can also take part in the imperial examination in the future."
In the late Ming Dynasty, many sons of slaves participated in the imperial examination, and even those who became Jinshi all the way to high school had many loopholes to exploit in household registration and registration. In Zhang Yuan's view, this was not fraud, but a fight for a fair opportunity. Zhang Yuan was willing to help the clan.
Yi Shan fought for this opportunity——
But I heard Zong Yishan say: "Brother Jiezi, I have not thought about the imperial examination. It is enough to support my parents as long as I am alive. Also, if brother Jiezi thinks that I am not useless, I will be an official in the future, and I am willing to serve as a staff member."
.”
Zhang Yuan said: "Let's not talk about that for now. Brother Yishan will go to Nanjing with me this time. Taishi Jiao will be very happy to see you. Brother Yishan's parents can live in my sister's house in Qingpu. If you want, you can go to Shan
Living in Yinmi Fang, depending on the wishes of the two elderly people, I will make appropriate arrangements."
Zong Yishan couldn't say anything, so he held Zhang Yuan's hand and shook it vigorously.
Zhang Yuan continued to read the eight-part essay, and Zong Yishan naturally joined in. Zong Yishan understood the "Nine-Character Jue" deeply and knew the styles of the eight-part essay better than Zhang Yuan. With Zong Yishan's help, Zhang Yuan felt very relaxed.
Just like when sisters Wang Jingshu and Wang Yingzi helped him select articles that day——
In the afternoon, students from Huating and Shanghai came to visit Zhang Yuan one after another. Zhang Yuan was very busy meeting and socializing with each other. Zong Yishan was responsible for the selection of articles. Yang Shixiang was a little worried at first, but after seeing Zong Yishan
The eight-part essays reviewed were indeed not inferior to those of Zhang Yuan, which turned worries into joy. Anyway, they were borrowing Zhang Yuan’s reputation. As for who reviewed them, it was secondary. What’s more, Zong Yishan’s review was really
Exquisite, Yang Shixiang is a Linsheng herself, so she still has this point of view.
In the evening of that day, thirty people from Huating came forward to invite the three Zhang brothers and the people from Qingpu to have a banquet at Wanghai Tower. Zhang Yuan showed off his social skills. He was familiar with the names of people he had met once and heard once.
Keep it in mind and let everyone who interacts with him feel that Zhang Yuan values him, instead of just being polite and perfunctory. Zhang Yuan's communicative charm is fascinating——
The students were joking about what they had seen today in the restaurant. They said that before noon, an old student from Shanghai came to Huating. This old student did not know about the betrayal of Dong. He was holding a folding fan with Dong Qichang's inscription on it. He was holding the fan to protect himself from the sun. Suddenly someone snatched the fan away.
Tear it. The Shanghai student was furious and wanted to drag the man to see the official. The man shouted that the Shanghai student was a relative of Dong Qichang. A group of people surrounded the Shanghai student, beat him, tore his clothes and left. It can be seen that the Shanghai student was torn apart.
Dong Qichang's reputation has reached such a bad level. Now the Songjiang Prefectural Government and Huating County Government have filed a thick stack of papers against Dong and his son. The old and new grudges must be settled together——
Pan Ruofu, a student member of Shanghai County who was present at the meeting, laughed and said: "Shanghai is so blocked that they still regard Dong Qichang's calligraphy as a calligraphy treasure."
Pan Ruofu invited Zhang Yuan and others to visit Shanghai and meet with Shanghai residents. Pan Ruofu came from a famous family, and his grandfather Pan Yunduan was the chief envoy of Sichuan. His family owned a garden, "Yu Garden", which was the first famous garden in Songjiang. Zhang Yuan heard that
He said it was Yu Garden, so he agreed to go and asked Pan Ruofu if he could hold an elegant gathering of students from the three counties of Songjiang in Yu Garden. Pan Ruofu happily agreed and agreed to gather in Yu Garden on the 23rd of this month.
