He gained a large amount of money, and the blackmailer was still disdainful to Zhu Ying. He used words to make things difficult for his eldest prince in Qingning Palace, and then lost a difficult little guy to others, Zhang Shou's
Naturally, he was in a very good mood. Especially since tomorrow was another rare day off, he could finally change his mind that was numb from teaching, and he felt even more relaxed.
And when he walked out of the Xiao family gate, he happened to see the beautiful figure in a jade-colored dress under a pomegranate red cloak leaping off the horse, and he felt even more in a good mood. This bright red and tender color outfit,
No one else could suppress it at all, and only a young lady like Zhu Ying would wear it unscrupulously.
Just when he was looking at the person with a smile, Zhu Ying had already rushed to him with brisk steps and showed a big smile: "Ah Shou, great news, great victory! Just now, dad sent someone to report quickly.
When I returned to Beijing, I said that my eldest brother had raided a firearms manufacturing base of the bandits and brought back three tribes that requested naturalization!"
Although he was still looking forward to Zhu Tingfang's return soon, when he really heard such good news, Zhang Shou couldn't help but take a breath, and then said with some surprise: "There were rumors outside that you
The gossip about eldest brother being defeated and his whereabouts unknown, is it possible that this is all about your father's past and spreading suspicion?"
"Although I really want to say it's true, I actually don't know what's going on." Zhu Ying's bright smile suddenly disappeared, replaced by depression and annoyance, "God knows what happened to my dad.
I think he never told me about those big things, and the same goes for my eldest brother, who treats me as an ignorant child all day long!"
Speaking of this, she herself gradually became a little surprised: "When the news came back from dad before, it was said that the eldest brother's vanguard army suffered heavy casualties... He should not lie about such a defeat. Besides, how about Beilu?
It was easy to get those craftsmen and firearms manufacturing methods from our Ming Dynasty, how could it be so easily stolen by my elder brother? Something is wrong with this!"
"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it."
Zhang Shou comforted him out of habit, but when he saw Zhu Ying staring at him angrily, her eyes seemed to say, How dare you look down on me, he smiled and said: "Because I can't figure it out either. The onlookers can't understand the war."
Pointing fingers will only get in the way, and the majority of people who don’t understand make up the majority, so we don’t want to imitate those laymen who don’t know how to pretend to understand, and just concentrate on cheering for your dad and your eldest brother!”
Zhu Ying suddenly turned from anger to joy at Zhang Shou's words. The corners of her mouth were raised unconsciously: "A Shou, why are you so good at talking? Every time I hear you speak, I feel happy! Do you know that today?
When the news came, I happened to meet Yongping who was out hosting a literary party at Yuehua Tower, and I also met a pretentious talent on the way."
She sneered as she spoke, imitating their disdainful tone and raised her head and said: "Those generals who fought in the war killed good people and took credit for their merits, made mistakes and covered up their mistakes, and turned defeat into victory. How many of them did they kill? Maybe they killed a few more.
He is a shepherd and then pretends to be a military hero!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Ying was so angry that she immediately said angrily: "I was so angry that I whipped that mean-mouthed guy all over the street! Are my father and eldest brother like that? My father
I remember that I had killed the scoundrels who killed good people and took credit for their merits, and my elder brother often told me that a man should expand territory and protect the peace of a place, and he should never pretend to be wrong!"
Although some people are verbal heroes, and some are strict with others and relaxed with themselves, Zhang Shou is still more willing to believe that the father and son of Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang should be consistent in their words - of course this can only mean that he found that the emperor was
The Zhu family seemed to be very trusting, and the impression they had on him was quite good.
Therefore, he coughed lightly and said: "What you said is true, but if you beat someone in the street, you will cause trouble for your father and your elder brother. Moreover, the scholar who was beaten can still publicize you everywhere.
"Atrocities" to establish a reputation for not fearing power. So, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, just pretend not to care about a villain and just walk away."
Seeing Zhu Ying, his eyebrows suddenly stood up, but Zhang Shou seemed not to notice, and said with a smile: "Then, you can ask people to find some street urchins, and make them look different in their ten or twenty years on the road that the scholar must pass.
He can ruin your family's reputation, and others can certainly ruin his reputation. I think that such a guy who talks so much about looking down on others can never be a flawless saint."
"Hitting can only cause temporary pain. Treating others with their own treatment can make some people shut up completely."
When Zhu Ying heard this, she couldn't help staring at Zhang Shou with wide eyes: "Ah Shou, aren't you a gentleman? This method is so vicious!"
Zhang Shou couldn't help but was slightly stunned, then touched his nose, and was about to say that he had never said that he was a gentleman, but the girl in front of him broke out with a bright smile: "But I like it! But I have a short temper and will never take revenge.
Overnight, next time I meet this kind of person, I'll beat him up first, then ruin his reputation, and let him taste the feeling of being slandered and being praised by everyone!"
Seeing that Zhu Ying meant to fight first before talking about anything else, Zhang Shou burst into laughter. Also, if he held back and reported the matter the next day, would he still be Zhu Ying?
After laughing, he saw Zhu Hong and other guards at the entrance of the alley looking around, so he took the initiative to lead Zhu Ying's horse. Perhaps because he had seen him more often, the beautiful horse seemed very docile.
Zhu Ying walked side by side with him with a smile, talking about some chores about taking stock of her family's property recently, but she suddenly stopped when she was still some distance away from the alley.
"Ah Shou, you said before that good things are about to happen for Zhang Chen and my second brother, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, but why is there no news? The second brother sighs all day long, and I heard that some people in your Banshan Hall are also in a low mood.
But that is inevitable, the emperor has ignored Yongping for the time being, there are only three princesses and princesses to be betrothed to this time, so not everyone can be so lucky."
Zhang Shou nodded knowingly: "That's it for the others. Those people in Cuiyunjian, I promised them a future on your behalf. After you take stock of your property, have you found any businesses or shops in the house that are not profitable or even losing money?"
, take it for a test?"
Zhu Ying immediately rolled her eyes at Zhang Shou: "Although some of the managers in my family are lining their own pockets, there are no useless snacks. If the shop they run does not make money or even loses money, no matter how senior they are, my grandmother has already taken them down!"
But I finally found a few that have some problems. I will issue the order to you later, and you can help me think about whether there is any place where I can use people."
She paused as she spoke, then raised the corner of her mouth and said, "I believe in your judgment of people. What's more, you are a powerful person who has earned thousands of dollars in property from the eldest prince!"
Zhang Shou was immediately surprised: "Why did you get the news so quickly?"
"Haha, don't even look at who I am!" Zhu Ying said with a smile, "Uncle Hua told me!"
Although he had no intention of hiding it from anyone who was interested, Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard that Hua Qi told Zhu Ying directly. However, when he thought about it, he said softly: "Yingying, I don't want to send a letter to the emperor through the General Affairs Department.
Can you use the box that the emperor gave me before and send it to me?"
Zhu Ying immediately said without thinking: "This is easy, you leave it to me and I will deliver it for you!"
"Then I'll leave it to you. I've already written the memorial and put it in the Imperial College. I'll give it to you later!" Zhang Shou said with a smile, "It's great to have someone who can pass through the palace anytime and anywhere..."
However, Zhu Ying keenly heard the missing words from Zhang Shou, and immediately said slightly angrily: "Hey, why don't you finish what you said? There is something that can pass through the palace anytime and anywhere? It's for no reason, so why save the word!
If you don't explain it clearly to me, I won't send it to you!" While being fierce, her eyes were a little wandering, and she was a little afraid that Zhang Shou would be silent or not answer the question.
"Okay, it's my fault. I just want to say that it's great to have a fiancée who can go to the palace anytime and anywhere!" Zhang Shou said the word "fiancée" naturally, and when he saw Zhu Ying, a smile appeared on his face.
Although she was wearing a wisp of delicate red, she still glanced at him happily. He immediately laughed, and then continued to lead the horse to meet Zhu Hong and others.
However, as soon as the two groups of people met, they heard only the sound of horse hooves, followed immediately by a young man galloping towards him. When he got close, he reined in his horse hard, and he almost fell off the horse. It was so nice to see him.
It was easy to stabilize his body. Zhang Shou recognized that it was Deng Xiaodai and asked with a smile: "Xiaodai, are you here to find me in this urgent situation? What's the matter with your Wang Dayin?"
"I'm not looking for you, Mr. Xiao." Deng Xiaodai said with a bitter look on his face, "I'm looking for the Sixth Young Master of Huaiqing Hou and the Fifth Young Master of Nanyang Hou. Wang Dayin wants to question the previous case. Oh, and Brother Zhu Hong and everyone from Zhao Guogong's Mansion.
, because it is you who hold the man."
Having said this, he bowed to Zhu Hong and others with a grimace and said: "Wang Dayin said that it would not be easy for others to come, so he sent me to make this trip."
"Wang Datou is so cunning!" Zhu Ying immediately snorted in dissatisfaction, but was immediately silenced by Zhang Shou.
"Wang Dayin is miserable enough. Every time he encounters something, he takes the blame. If it were a Shuntian Prefecture Yin, who would take care of these nosy things that may cause trouble?" When Zhang Shou saw Zhu Ying chatting with San Ran, he politely said
He said to Zhu Hong, "I have to trouble you and everyone else to go to the Shuntian Mansion Office. I'm going to call Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, and I'll go with them."
"I'll go too!" Seeing Zhu Hong immediately agreed, Zhu Ying added after volunteering, "It's not a court trial, so it doesn't matter if I go, Ah Shou, you can go too!"
Knowing that the eldest lady had made up her mind, Zhang Shou didn't want her to change her mind. He smiled and turned back to call for someone. Sure enough, when he came out with Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu who looked relieved,
, Zhu Hongzheng was seen standing helplessly behind Zhu Ying, apparently unable to persuade the young lady not to join in the fun.
When the group arrived at the Shuntian Mansion Office not far away, as soon as they entered the gate, Deng Xiaodai, who was leading the way, once again enjoyed the collective attention of many petty officials and servants. He knew that this was all because of his victory in the mission, and the round trip only took a few seconds.
It took only a quarter of an hour to bring back the person Wang Jie named, but he himself felt unhappy.
According to the behavior of Mr. Xiao and the Zhu family of Zhao Guogong's mansion, I am afraid that he will bring a steady stream of troubles to Shuntian Mansion in the future. When the time comes, he will be caught in the middle and will have to do what he did today. However, Prince Yinren
No matter how good he is, he may not be able to stay in Shuntian Mansion for the rest of his life. What about him?
Because of those visual charts, he was about to be promoted to a magistrate. Such a speed of promotion even frightened his uncle! The question was, could a different governor be able to accommodate him?
Deng Xiaodai struggled again and took the person behind, but he had nothing to do. He could only go back to his room with worries and continue working. In the second hall of Shuntian Mansion, he saw the crowd of people coming in, including
And the young couple he didn't want to see at all, Yin Wangjie of Shuntian Prefecture, felt like his head hurt. He was not afraid of things or avoided them, but that didn't mean he liked to cause trouble!
He took a breath and said bluntly: "I broke into Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu's weaving and dyeing workshop before, and then I was turned over by Zhu Hong and others. Those guys who claimed to have evil intentions have admitted that they were instigated by the second prince. But now.
But they turned around and said that the Zhu family of Duke Zhao and Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, your brothers, were colluding and plotting against each other."
Before everyone could explode, he slapped the table and said: "He appealed to me and asked me to personally inspect your weaving and dyeing workshop. He said, if you don't have a reputation, why would you set up an ambush inside and outside to capture them in one fell swoop?"
Zhang Lu, who was about to present the facts and reason, was stunned. Zhang Wu reacted directly and turned his head to look at Zhang Shou's expression. As for Zhu Hong, a guard of the Zhu family, he felt that he had no chance to speak, so he pretended to be deaf.
On the other hand, Zhu Ying said angrily: "This is unreasonable. Isn't this Zhu Bajie beating him up? When a thief and robber is caught, he still needs to ask why the owner is so defensive?"
Wang Jie didn't expect that Zhu Ying, who had always been mindless, would make such an appropriate analogy, and he burst into laughter.
Zhang Shou asked calmly: "Excuse me, Wang Dayin, does the second prince have anything to say?"
"He's staying behind closed doors, saying he's sick." Wang Jie didn't have any good impression of the impulsive and trouble-making second prince, so he said calmly, "Even if the incident is reported, he will definitely not be able to bear the consequences."
Let's go, but if he insists on this, I'm afraid those people who don't like you will start to attack you again."
"Then please ask Wang Dayin to go to Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu's weaving and dyeing workshops to find out what's going on."
When Zhang Shou said this, he had a smile on his lips and clear eyes, which made him appear to be open and honest. Even though Wang Jie didn't think that Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu were hiding something when they bought the weaving and dyeing workshop and hired a few spinners to do the work.
He still felt extremely satisfied with the person's reputation.
He just said that Zhang Shou has always been quite upright in his work.
"Okay, let's go now!" Wang Jie stood up majestically, and then said in a deep voice, "If it is proven that there is no such thing, we must punish those guys who lied and made false accusations!"
When following the Shuntian Prefecture Yin out, Zhang Shou, who was lagging behind, calmly said to Zhu Ying: "Yingying, you accompany Wang Dayin there. He can watch whatever he wants. I'll go back later."
Imperial College, get the memorial box. If he wants to enter the palace then, you should go with him."
