There were two sets of dresses, one was a green silk narrow-collared long coat and long skirt, and the other was a black Songjiang cotton jacket and long skirt. Even the tailor's ICBC cost a total of four cents and two cents. Wu Ling, who was in charge of the young master's money, didn't bring any silver.
When she came out, the seamstress smiled and said: "You know me, you know me, young master of the Zhang family. Who doesn't know her? Is she a maid from your house? She looks so handsome." It was agreed that the dress would be delivered to Zhang Yuan's house in three days and the cash would be collected.
.
After coming out of the clothing store and walking through the cross street, the lights dimmed and the moonlight shone brightly. Mu Zhenzhen, who had been unable to speak, finally spoke: "Master, this costs a lot of money. How can I afford it?"
.”
The voice of this fallen girl sounded a little sad in the cold night wind.
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "My mother has already said that she would make a set of clothes for you. I don't want my mother to be tired. Sewing clothes is also very labor-intensive. Today is just the way to go, so let's sew it in the shop." After taking a look.
Mu Zhenzhen stuck his toes outside the straw sandals and asked, "Didn't my mother make a pair of blue cloth shoes for you? Why don't you wear them and they don't fit?"
"No, no." Mu Zhenzhen said hurriedly: "It's because it's not cold yet, so I can't bear to wear it."
In a few days, it will be the frost of the 24th solar term, and it will be quite chilly at night. Mu Zhenzhen still said that it is not cold, but will it be cold until it snows?
Xiao Xi Nu Wuling could see that the young master was very kind to the fallen girl, so he said: "Sister Zhenzhen, our wife and young master are the most kind. Since the young master has given you the clothes, you can accept them and wear them when you go out with the young master."
Being so shabby, the young master has no face at all." Wu Ling is the same age as Mu Zhenzhen, the month is later, and she is a bit shorter, so she follows Brother Shitou and Tuting and calls her Sister Zhenzhen.
Zhang Yuan smiled "Hey": "Xiao Wu, you are getting better and better at talking. Does this mean that I want to sew new clothes for you and dress you nicely so that I can look good on you?"
Wu Ling dusted off his clothes and said with a smile, "My wife gives me clothes for all seasons every year. Xiao Wu, I'm already looking glamorous."
Mu Zhenzhen was still embarrassed and said: "This servant has just arrived at the master's house and has done nothing, yet has received so many benefits. I am really ashamed."
Zhang Yuan sighed: "Oh, you are so verbose. Let's do this. I'm going to Songjiang next March to visit my sister and celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday. I don't have anyone to support me on the long journey. Then you and your father can protect me."
Mu Zhenzhen's face shone brightly and he said happily: "Young master, my father has to be on duty every now and then. Master Dianshi from the county government's engineering department will be angry if he can't find my father on duty."
Zhang Yuandao: "When the time comes, I will inform Hou County Zun that I will not recruit your father as an errand for the next two months."
Mu Zhenzhen was very happy and felt that his father and daughter could work for the young master of the Zhang family, so that they would feel at ease receiving the benefits of the master's family.
…
The next morning, Zhang Yuan went to Xizhang to meet with his uncle Zhang Rulin. Zhang Rulin was compiling his rhyme book in the study. When he saw Zhang Yuan coming in, he put down his pen and said with a smile: "Zhang Yuan, are you going to use a clever plan?"
After Zhang Yuan bowed respectfully, he said, "I was about to ask my uncle for instructions."
Zhang Rulin said: "I have told Butler Liu that you can wait until you go to his place and let him arrange the manpower. Sit down first. My uncle wants to test you to see how well you have learned the craftsmanship at Wang Jian'an these days."
To test Zhang Yuan's recognition, he randomly picked a sentence from the Four Books and Spring and Autumn Annals, and asked Zhang Yuan to recite the paragraph of the original sentence. Zhang Yuan's ability to memorize it was naturally Zhang Yuan's ability. Naturally, it would not be a problem for him——
Zhang Rulin nodded and said: "Then I will ask two questions and you will solve them. Haha, there is no need to show off your seven-step aptitude. It is always better to defeat Zhou Zheng." He pondered for a while and asked the question: "The Master said that government should be governed by virtue.
.”
Zhang Yuan broke through the topic and said: "Government has its foundation, but there is no way to abandon the virtue of the king."
Zhang Rulin nodded to express his approval, and then asked the question: "The Master said that a gentleman has no use."
Zhang Yuan broke the topic and said: "When a sage talks about perfect virtue, he will never stop using it."
Zhang Rulin answered the two questions correctly, and Zhang Yuan solved the question in an upright manner. Zhang Rulin could not find any faults, and asked again: "Have you started doing eight-part essay? Oh, please recite one for me."
Zhang Yuan recited a piece of eight-part essay written yesterday, which was praised by Wang Siren——
Zhang Rulin beat time with his hands on his knees, as if listening to music. After listening to one article, he praised: "If I were to promote you to an academic officer, I could select you as a student officer just based on this article - I have nothing to worry about.
You go down and arrange a clever plan."
Zhang Yuan came out of the North Courtyard and first found Zhang E. Then the two of them went to see Butler Liu and asked him to choose five literate and capable domestic servants. There were hundreds of domestic servants in Xi Zhang, so choose these five people.
If there was any difficulty, five servants came. They were all literate and eloquent. Zhang Yuan asked them if they were familiar with the surrounding counties. Some said they were familiar with Yuyao, and some said they were familiar with Zhuji...
The eight counties of Shaoxing Prefecture, Kuaiji, Xiaoshan, Zhuji, and Shangyu are close to Shanyin. Zhang Yuan asked four Zhang family servants to go to these four counties each with three volumes of Yao Fuchou's history to find restaurants, teahouses, and car dealerships in the county towns.
The blind storytellers at the wharf can find three storytellers in each county, and let the storytellers compile a storyteller based on the events recorded in the book every day for three consecutive days. They can pay the storyteller one or two taels of silver, as long as
Giving money, and not talking about the local affairs of the storyteller, there is no need to worry about retaliation, why would the storyteller not do it——
He also ordered a servant to go to Hangzhou and find storytellers to tell stories about Yao Fu's scandal in teahouses, restaurants, and markets near the academic administration office. In this way, the arrangements were made. Except for Kuaiji in the same city, who would postpone the implementation for a while, the rest went to the three counties and counties.
The servant from Hangzhou will leave early tomorrow morning——
Zhang E felt that Zhang Yuan's plan was unremarkable and said: "Meson, why go to all the trouble? Apart from going to Hangzhou to spread the news about being an academic official, why go to the other four counties to spread the word? People from other counties simply don't care."
If you know who Yao Fu is, you should do your best to publicize it in this county."
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Foreign monks can recite sutras. If they spread the word locally, Yao Fu will soon know that he may have some countermeasures. But if it comes back from neighboring counties, it will be very different. People in this county will think that this is the case."
The story had spread to other counties, and Yao Fu's ugly reputation had spread far and wide. He was going to be in trouble. The effect was very different from the effect of direct publicity in this county. Moreover, Yao Fu had no countermeasures. When he figured out what was going on, he would
It already stinks."
Zhang E burst out laughing and said, "I didn't know that you were so particular about spreading rumors and slandering me. Jiezi, you are indeed sinister and cunning."
Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes and said: "Third brother, don't you know how to use good words? This is called resourcefulness and strategizing, isn't it? And how can this be slander and slander? Everything has its fault."
Zhang E smiled and said: "They are all the same, they are all the same. I prefer to use the opposite wording." He also said expectantly: "When those scandals come back from other counties, we will have to wait and see Yao Yigun——"
Unable to think of the right words for a moment, Zhang Yuan said: "Yao Yiguan has become a street rat that everyone shouts to beat."
Zhang E praised: "Wonderful, Yao Yiguan must have failed as a lawsuit stick, so he changed his nickname to Yao Shuhu."
The more Zhang E thought about it, the happier he became. In high spirits, he dragged Zhang Yuan to play chess, chess, and Go. Of course, he lost. He left Zhang Yuan to have lunch in Xi Zhang, and in the afternoon asked Zhang Yuan to accompany him to use the telescope.
Peeping into other people's homes——
Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "This can't be done, this can't be done, third brother, don't do this kind of thing less, it's not good for others to find out."
Zhang E said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter, no one knows what I am doing with a copper pipe, but I didn't see anything secret, only once——"
Zhang E lowered his voice and said: "Just a few days ago, I looked down at Yao Yiggun's inner house from Wolong Mountain and saw that Yao Yiggun pulled a young woman into the room in broad daylight and took a long time to come out. That woman was not from Yao's house.
The female family came in a sedan, but I don’t know whose family it is? It’s a pity that this mirror can’t see through the wall, otherwise it would be wonderful.” Asked: “Meson, do you know if there is a mirror in the world that can see things through the wall?
It seems that the ancient miracle doctor Bian Que had this ability?"
If he can be guided well, Zhang E may become an inventor of the Ming Dynasty, like Edison.
Zhang Yuan said: "That kind of mirror will be available in a few hundred years, just wait."
