Early the next morning, as soon as Zhang Sui finished practicing, Dong Zhi came to the door.
Zhang Sui asked Dong Zhidao strangely: "Are we going there so early? Ford Building should not be open at this time, right?"
Dong Zhi said with a smile: "The second young master of the Huang family has the habit of drinking morning tea. Fu Fu Building is originally the property of the Huang family. Because of this habit of the second young master of the Huang family, Fu Fu Building will be open every morning, but there is no business.
That’s all.”
Zhang Sui complained in his heart: Could this second son of the Huang family be a Cantonese who traveled through time, right?
Hearing this, Zhang Sui had no choice but to go into the house and pack things up. Fang Xiong had already prepared the carriage, and the group first came to the clan elder's mansion to pick up the clan elder Zhang Yan.
After all, they were getting older and had little time to sleep. When Zhang Sui and the others arrived at the Clan Lao Mansion, the old man had already returned from strolling around the street.
On the way, Zhang Sui asked Dong Zhi about the temperament of the second son of the Huang family. Dong Zhi thought for a long time before replying: "The second son of the Huang family is just a face-saving person. Everything else is easy to talk about."
When Zhang Sui heard Dong Zhi's words, he knew in his mind that it's easy to talk about good face, just hold it in a little bit. As for the dignity of a time traveler, what is that?
Soon we arrived at Telford Building. There was not a single customer in the lobby on the first floor. It was so early in the morning that it was unusual for someone to come to eat.
Under the guidance of the waiter, a group of four people came to a side room by the window on the second floor. Sitting inside was a young man in his mid-twenties who was looking at the distant mountains outside the window. In such a cold weather, he actually held a
He held the folding fan and fanned it twice from time to time. Zhang Sui's first impression when he saw him was two words: slut!
Dong Zhi quickly stepped forward to salute and introduced the young man: "Second Young Master, these two are both from the Zhang family. This old gentleman is Mr. Zhang Yan, the elder of the Zhang family, and this young master is Zhang Sui, the second young master of the Zhang family.
"Fang Xiong stood by the door holding a brocade box. He knew he was a follower at first glance, so he didn't introduce him.
The second son of the Huang family stood up, saluted Zhang Yan first, and said, "I have met you, sir." Then he faced Zhang Sui, looked him up and down, stepped forward, took Zhang Sui's arm, guided him to his seat, and said with a smile:
"This is the second young master who broke the head of Du Zhen and Du Jiuling, right? Haha, it's so satisfying! I'm Huang Jian of the Huang family, we are all the second child!"
Zhang Sui complained in his heart: "You are the second child! Is there anyone who talks like this?"
Zhang Sui was also confused by Huang Jian's enthusiastic attitude.
Huang Jian explained: "I've long been unhappy with that guy Du Zhen. He looks so poor, so he's pretending to be elegant!" As he spoke, he involuntarily fanned the folding fan in his hand a few times, and Zhang Sui next to him shivered from the fan.
I thought in my heart: "You are so elegant!"
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "That boy came all the way from Qujiang Road to show off to us and made so many sarcastic remarks. Isn't it normal for him to get beaten?"
Huang Jian put away his fan and slapped his palm, and said with a smile: "That's the truth! Isn't it just because Mr. Mingzhi of Kuizhou Prefecture praised his literary talent? He brags about it wherever he goes. His face is really embarrassing.
It’s disgusting for people to watch.”
Huang Jian seemed to have found a confidant, and he responded to Du Zhen with a lot of resentment.
Zhang Yan saw the two of them talking attentively from the side, and he smiled and remained silent.
Huang Jian talked eloquently for a long time. He stopped when he felt thirsty. He picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip to calm down. Seeing Zhang Yan's expression, he seemed to have remembered the purpose of today.
He quickly cupped his hands to Zhang Yan and said, "Mr. Rang, you are laughing. I was so excited talking to Young Master Zhang that I forgot that there is an elder around. I wonder what I can teach you about today?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said: "I don't take advice seriously. In fact, our second son is in charge today. I am just a companion."
Huang Jian looked at Zhang Sui and said, "I heard Dong Zhi said that you and he fought side by side, and you were very brave. When I saw you today, I felt extraordinary. I wonder if you have any good things for me?"
I don’t know how many times Zhang Sui complained: "You don’t feel extraordinary, but you feel that we are like each other. Is this really the person in charge of Kunzhou Prefecture from the Huang family?"
Zhang Sui waved to Fang Xiong, and Fang Xiong came forward with the brocade box, put it on the table and opened it. Zhang Sui pushed the brocade box in front of Huang Jian and said with a smile: "Please give Brother Huang a taste of it."
Huang Jian was attracted when the brocade box was first opened. The morning sunlight shone in through the window and just fell on the opened brocade box. Several bottles of perfume exuded magnificent colors under the sunlight.
Huang Jian picked up a bottle, looked at the color of the perfume in the bottle, sniffed again, looked at Zhang Sui, and said: "Flower dew?" His reaction was exactly the same as that of several elders when they saw these perfumes.
They were all surprised.
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "Yes, I made this at home when I had nothing to do. I heard from my family that the Huang family are experts in doing this, so I asked Dong Zhi to help make an appointment with Brother Huang, and asked Brother Huang to help you check the quality."
Huang Jian opened the bottle cap and sniffed it, then capped it, put the perfume on the table, and sighed: "What's so good about it? It's ten times better than my flower dew."
Then he stared into Zhang Sui's eyes and asked, "What do you want?"
Zhang Sui didn't expect Huang Jian to be so direct. He paused and said, "I have given the Zhang family the method of making this flower dew. The purpose of my coming to see Brother Huang is to discuss some business with you. If I can
If it is achieved, I will let the Zhang family come up with this production method and cooperate with the Huang family."
Huang Jian asked for the second time: "What do you want?" That expression was not as frivolous as before. I guess this is the real Huang Jian.
Zhang Suidao: "I like antiques very much, especially statues and the like. The older they are, the better, and the more unique they are, the better."
Huang Jian frowned and said: "Statue? My family is in the antique business and there are quite a few things, but there are not many statues. Most of them are books and antiques. Can't those be used?"
Zhang Sui shook his head and said, "Except for statues, I'm not interested in anything else."
Huang Jian scratched his head and said, "How much do you want? You can't ask for as much as we have, right?"
Zhang Sui thought for a while and said: "Ten statues, but they must be inspected and approved by me personally!"
Huang Jian directly raised his right palm and said: "Deal."
Zhang Sui smiled, raised his right palm, struck each other, and said: "Deal!"
Zhang Sui continued: "My request has been met. How to arrange the specific cooperation next? Brother Huang will discuss it with the Zhang Yan clan elders, and I will not participate."
Huang Jian nodded and said: "Yes, the specific cooperation cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Tomorrow I will take a few shopkeepers from the clan to the Zhang Mansion to visit the elders of the Zhang clan, and we will discuss it in detail. As for Brother Zhang,
I will collect the statues you want as soon as possible, within three days at most, and I will ask Dong Zhi to inform you, what do you think?"
Zhang Sui nodded and said: "Okay." He emphasized again: "The older and weirder it is, the better."
Huang Jian nodded in agreement. When Zhang Sui saw that the matter had been settled, the last stone in his heart was relieved.
So Zhang Sui stood up and said goodbye to Huang Jian, but Huang Jian didn't keep him because Huang Jian was also eager to take these bottles of perfume samples back to show the master in charge of floral dew production and ask him to give an evaluation.
.
A group of four people left Defu Building. Dong Zhi said goodbye and left if he had anything else to do.
Zhang Sui and Zhang Yan said goodbye at the door. How to deal with the perfume was a matter for the clan. He had already handed over the method of making perfume to Zhang Yan. As for the method of making alcohol, that was just a tip. Anyway, perfume
The production of products is also inseparable from it.
Only now did Zhang Sui really feel relaxed and in a good mood. He said to Fang Xiong, "Nobita, come with me to go shopping."
Fang Xiong nodded honestly and followed him closely.
For a whole day, Zhang Sui visited various antique shops in Kunzhou Prefecture. Zhang Sui also thought that if he was lucky, he could gain some power of disaster, but it seemed that he was disappointed. There were many antique statues, but there were no
One is what Zhang Sui needs.
Looking at the sun that was gradually setting in the west, Zhang Sui led Fang Xiong back to his residence listlessly.
As soon as she returned home, she saw Zhang Xin holding a box of dried fish and sitting on the recliner where Lao Lu often sat. Lao Lu moved a small bench and sat aside. He didn't know what he was saying to her, which made the little girl amused.
Laugh.
Seeing the return of Zhang Sui and Zhang Xin, Zhang Xin immediately jumped up, stuffed the dried fish into Lao Lu's hand, and ran over, shouting loudly: "Second brother, Daxiong, you are finally back. I'll wait for you."
I’ve been keeping you for a long time!”
Zhang Sui smiled and wanted to touch her head, but Zhang Xin got out of the way. Zhang Xin ran behind Fang Xiong, exposed her head and looked at Zhang Sui and complained: "Don't touch other people's hair, I'm not a child anymore. I
I came to look for you in the afternoon. Lao Lu said you would be back soon. But by now it is almost dark!"
Zhang Sui smiled and said, "What do you want? I went out for a walk with Nobita in the afternoon."
Zhang Xin said: "My mother asked me to come here to look for you. She said she had something to do with you, but she didn't tell me what it was. She insisted that I go back with you after I find you."
Zhang Sui thought, maybe he knew about his cooperation with the clan elders, and wanted to ask him about the situation.
Zhang Sui said to Zhang Xin: "Then you wait a moment, I will go back to clean up and bring something."
Zhang Xin said: "Then hurry up, it's getting dark and I'm starving!"
Zhang Sui asked Fang Xiong to get two boxes of perfume and gave one to Zhang Xin. Fang Xiong said happily: "Okay, Second Master!" He stepped forward and said to Zhang Xin: "Come on, Third Miss, I will take you to see some good things!"
Zhang Xin was a little curious after hearing this, and said to Fang Xiong: "Nobita, don't lie to me. If it's not a good thing, I will definitely knock you on the head!"
Fang Xiong grinned and said, "Second Miss will definitely like it!" With that, he took Zhang Xin and went straight to the wing where the perfume was stored.
Zhang Sui looked at the two figures, smiled and shook his head, went back to his bedroom, changed his clothes, thought about it, took out a booklet from the drawer and put it into his sleeve.
When Zhang Sui came to the hall outside, he saw Zhang Xin staring at several bottles of perfume in a brocade box with bright eyes, touching one bottle now and that bottle now, with eyes filled with fondness.
Seeing Zhang Xin's appearance, Zhang Sui smiled and said, "How about it? Do you like this gift?"
Zhang Xin nodded repeatedly, looking at Zhang Sui with little stars in his eyes, and said: "Second brother is really amazing. Daxiong told me that you made this. This is much more beautiful than the flower dew I saw in my mother's room, and
The scent is so delicious!”
Zhang Sui smiled and said, "As long as you like it!" After thinking about it, he took out a jujube from his sleeve, handed it to Zhang Xin and said, "Xin'er, try this jujube."
Zhang Xin took the jujube, smelled it, swallowed gently, resisted the urge to take a bite, handed the jujube back to Zhang Sui, and said aggrievedly: "I can't eat it. When I was a child, I stole one from Grandpa Qi."
I only took one bite of a jujube soaked in wine, and ended up with rashes all over my body for several days, and was scolded by my mother." After saying this, he looked gloomy.
Zhang Sui touched her head. This time Zhang Xin did not move away, but just lowered her head. Zhang Sui comforted her softly: "It's okay. My second brother will definitely find the best doctor to cure your disease. This jujube is not needed."
Return it to me, you should be fine if you go back and soak it in water to drink, it will be good for your body."
Fang Xiong couldn't help but said from the side: "Yes, Second Miss, these jujubes are very magical. If you soak them in water and drink them, it might cure your disease."
Lao Lu coughed heavily at the side. When Fang Xiong looked over, he glared at him fiercely. Fang Xiong shrank his neck.
Zhang Xin put the dates away, held the brocade box in both hands, and looked happy again.
Zhang Sui greeted Fang Xiong and asked him to prepare the carriage. After giving some instructions to Lao Lu, he took Zhang Xin out and got into the carriage and drove towards Zhang Mansion.
