Weinan Bo Zhang Kang happily found another famous restaurant in the capital. After entertaining Zhang Shou and his party, Lu Sanlang returned to the Imperial College with a smile on his face and continued to be his prodigal genius. And Zhang
When Shou and Zhu Ying and Zhu Er said goodbye to Zhang Kang and got on the carriage to go back, Zhu Ying couldn't hold back her curiosity.
"Ah Shou, why is Zhang Kang looking for you? This man has always been very low-key. He rarely goes to court. Even my father and the Duke of Chu and Qin Guogong rarely interact with each other, so I heard that he invited you to go.
Tingyu Xiaozhu really felt that this was abnormal, so he decided to block people in front of his house!"
Zhu Er couldn't help but look sideways. He dared to block people at the door of the Earl's house when he wasn't familiar with it. If it were me, I would probably kneel down if Zhang Kang glared at him. Not to mention, he would definitely be punished by his grandmother when he went back. But
Zhu Ying did this... Look at Zhang Kang's behavior just now, you will know that people are helpless and indulgent. As for when she returns home, her grandmother and stepmother will scold her for being a ghost!
There is such a huge difference between men and women!
And Zhang Shou could easily read the second young master's envy, jealousy and hatred from Zhu Er's changing expression. Of course he would not try to persuade him, but smiled and took out Zhang Kang's note and handed it to Zhu Ying.
.
"It's nothing serious. Weinan Bo was ill and went to the doctor in a hurry. He wanted to ask me to open a box. It was probably a treasure he had collected from nowhere. He was very curious and wanted to open it and take a look. You see, it is a fourteen-ring box like this.
Text Lock.”
After Zhu Ying took it, after taking a look, she couldn't help but hissed softly: "It's this kind of lock! There are several in my house, but most of them only have three rings, and at most they have five rings. When I was a child, I thought
I have tried it out of curiosity. Although each ring has four characters, it took me a long time to finally open the three-ring lock. How long will it take for me to try the fourteen rings?"
Zhu Er also came over and looked at it curiously, then curled his lips and said: "As long as you work hard, the iron pestle can be ground into a needle. I don't want to use stupid methods to try one by one, and it will still fail to open!"
"I told Uncle Weinan before that there are a total of 268,435,456 combinations. If you try them one by one, even the fastest hands will have to try them for ten years without rest."
Zhu Erdeng was startled. He stared at the note with wide eyes, and saw Zhu Ying hurriedly returned it to Zhang Shou like a hot potato. He had an idea and laughed and said: "This is something that Ying and I have to do."
Ying Ke can’t help, that guy Lu Sanlang is just about the same!”
Zhang Shou didn't know that Zhu Er wanted to trick Lu Sanlang, so he immediately smiled and said: "No one can help. It is said that even the teacher and the others have not figured it out. As for me, Uncle Weinan is just sick and seeks medical treatment. I can look back on it as long as I want."
Give it a try for a few days, and then reply to Uncle Weinan, saying that there is nothing I can do."
Hearing that Ge Yong had not figured it out yet, Zhu Ying got excited and said, "That's not certain! Regarding the secret letters between Linhai Camp and the ghosts in the Ministry of War, Grandpa Ge and the others were still helpless. Although Ah Shou, you may not be better than Ge
Grandpa is great, but you are luckier than him!"
Teacher Ge, do you have itchy ears and sneezing right now?
Zhang Shou, who was dumbfounded, had such an idea in his mind, and then shook his head and said: "You said it is simple, but it can't be that easy. Anyway, I don't have any expectations. But I made an exchange condition to Uncle Weinan. I want to see the Ming Dynasty.
He promised me that he would take me to see the maps of other countries in the world tomorrow night."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Er shouted: "Isn't this too much of a loss? You helped the emperor solve a problem as big as the Jiuzhangtang inscription, and you also helped Wang Datou solve the dozen secret letters, and got
But the benefits are very few! That barbarian Zhang Kang received many rewards from Grandpa Ruizong, but now that he is over sixty and has no children, you should ask him for houses, land, gold and silver..."
Zhu Er suddenly stopped and coughed several times before swallowing the word beauty.
"Vulgar!" Zhu Ying glared at her second brother fiercely, and then said angrily, "When Ah Shou unlocks the fourteen-ring lock, it will be too late to ask Uncle Weinan for these. You should show them now.
The attitude of being light-hearted and indifferent to fame and wealth is called being upright and honest, do you understand? Only in this way will people be grateful to you."
Seeing that Zhu Er was speechless, Zhang Shou was immediately happy: "Zhao Yingying, you said so, in order to make Uncle Weinan appreciate me, shouldn't I try my best to unlock this lock?"
Zhu Ying said confidently: "Of course! As long as you untie it, with Uncle Weinan's temperament, let alone houses, land, gold, silver and beautiful maids, he will definitely give you whatever you want. And we will testify for you, he
It’s impossible to even think about it!”
Miss, you said that, even if I really have clues that I can solve, I still have to say that I can't do anything... Otherwise, I will be waiting for a lot of people to come to me with all kinds of weird letters and books in the world to ask me to solve the puzzle.
alright!
With such an idea flashing through his mind, Zhang Shou put the note away again with a smile, and then said with interest: "Yingying, Zhang Chen said before that he was successful in capturing the thief, and the Duke of Qin received a reward from the palace. What should I say?
Zhao Guogong's Mansion also directly kidnapped two traitors to the Shuntian Mansion Office. Now that Wang Dayin has even judged the case, he has no reaction to the Zhu family of Zhao Guogong's Mansion?"
"To talk about the palace's reaction... That night when you and I came back from Zhaoyuan, when I went home to see my grandmother and mother, the palace rewarded my grandmother and mother with two pieces of Shu brocade, two pieces of cloud brocade, and two strings of red sandalwood.
Buddha beads, and some other odds and ends. He also rewarded me with a string of southern beads, a pair of jade bis, two red gold necklaces with precious stones, and also rewarded my second brother with a set of the Four Treasures of the Study."
Speaking of this, Zhu Ying didn't pay attention to Zhu Er's miserable expression when he heard about the Four Treasures of the Study, and suddenly realized, "There are rewards for my family every three days in the palace. I was in a hurry to go to your place that night and didn't care. It turns out that that time
Is it a reward for us to capture the traitor?"
Zhang Shou originally thought that the emperor wanted to highlight Zhang Chen's contribution, but then he realized that it was not that Duke Zhao had not received the reward, but that the eldest lady had simply ignored it because she had received too many rewards!
Sure enough, Zhu Ying slapped her thigh in annoyance immediately afterwards - but the one who grinned was the unlucky Zhu Er, because Zhu Ying slapped him directly on the leg: "No wonder my grandmother said to me that day.
, you may be promoted soon! I even forgot to tell you!"
"It doesn't matter if you get promoted or something." Zhang Shou smiled and then said calmly, "I hope that Wang Dayin's killing of chickens and monkeys this time can teach those thieves a profound lesson."
"That's right!" Zhu Ying immediately became angry again. "Although Zheng Huai'en was slapped with a slap in the face and Wang Datong wrote a letter asking for his clan membership to be removed as punishment, the matter has not yet come to an end! I will go to the palace tomorrow and invite the emperor directly.
To uphold justice, Zheng Huai'en has simply lost the face of the clan. If we don't teach him a lesson, these clans will be even worse in the future!"
Seeing his sister's murderous intent, Zhu Er coughed unnaturally, trying to remind her not to act so fierce in front of her fiancé. Sure enough, he only saw Zhang Shou shaking his head in disapproval: "Since Wang Dayin has already submitted, then we
Just wait for the result. It would be strange if Zheng Huaien's parents didn't go to the palace to plead for mercy. Don't beat the drum anymore."
"His father deserves it! He is the direct grandson of Yingzong. That's because all the sons of Emperor Yingzong killed each other, and he was the only one left. In order to show his respect for Emperor Yingzong, Grandpa Ruizong established this
I made him his heir and king. However, Zheng Huaien was still jumping up and down, and he even had ideas against me, huh!"
After losing her temper for a while, Zhu Ying finally agreed to Zhang Shou not to talk about Zheng Huai'en. But she remembered that she had used provocation to drive Princess Yongping back to the palace, and she didn't know that her sworn enemy was now using that.
Have you investigated an assassin's case? It's just that there's no need to go to the palace for this matter. It's better to find an opportunity and wait.
Having said that, Princess Yongping has eyes higher than her head, and so far it has not been reported that she has favored any man. Besides Princess Yongping, the two other princesses of the right age have not yet planned their marriages because their biological mothers are timid and cautious.
She might as well go to the emperor and ask him to palm his eyes in person to prevent the Ministry of Rites from randomly selecting people.
The princess of this dynasty has no worries about marrying. Except that her husband cannot become a senior official such as a bachelor of the Shangshu University, the rest of the officials can compete based on their abilities without delaying their future.
When the carriage stopped in front of the Ge Mansion in accordance with Zhang Shou's instructions, Zhu Er saw Zhang Shou entering and the carriage started again. Then he said earnestly: "My sister, even if you are doing it for Zhang Shou's good, you are too much."
The evil spirit is exposed. Just like you running to block Weinan Bo today, and then going to Tingyu Xiaozhu, if it had been me, Ah Shou, I would have exploded a long time ago!"
"How can you be A Shou? You are so far away!" Zhu Ying blocked Zhu Er back angrily, but then she muttered in a low voice, "I have been like this from the beginning, A Shou has never been like this.
You think there’s something wrong with me.”
"When he thinks you are not good, it will be too late!" Zhu Er changed his face with a serious expression, but after the words came out, he felt tangled in his heart. He clearly felt that Zhang Shou was not good enough for Zhu Ying, so why was he now afraid of his sister?
If you have a bad temper, will you be disliked by others in the future?
At this time, he only heard Zhu Ying say: "There are so many flaws found in Zhaoyuan, Haidian. I reported it to my grandmother and mother before, and I am personally checking all the properties in the family to see if there are any other black sheep.
.Second brother, I have only been to three or four stores yesterday and today, and the problems are not small. I will tell you in advance, and you can think about it for yourself, whether there is any problem with the person using it."
Before the stunned Zhu Er could react, Zhu Ying murmured in a low voice: "Ah Shou helped me recruit so many people back then. Although the plan can't keep up with the changes, I still have to take this opportunity to take stock of my dowry and private house.
Otherwise, how can we recruit troops and cultivate our own team? I also have to pay attention to their life-long events!"
My dignified Second Young Master Zhao Guogong can't even talk about his own team, so you are already planning to recruit troops and build a team?
Moreover, you actually pay attention to other people’s life events. What about my second brother’s life events?
Thinking about his limited monthly money, and thinking about Zhu Ying's dressing box full of goodies that she could never fit in, Zhu Er felt that he was really miserable for a grown man.
