Before Master Bi, who was desperately beating Huang Gongzi, could react, he was dragged up, followed by him, and a ball of hemp walnuts was stuffed into his mouth, and then he was tied into zongzi. And Huang Gongzi on the ground was panting like a dead dog, and when he was picked up, even if he was tied up and tied down after being gagged, he didn't even have a symbolic struggle.

Zhang Shoumu sent the two people to be dragged away one after another, and just as he was about to speak, he only heard Zhu Tingfang say: "I was about to arrest this guy who thought he was smart, but I didn't expect to be preempted by you." I heard that you still revealed how much money he brought with him in public? Your trick is to kill people without seeing blood! ”

"Who let him offend Yingying, and then want to get back the lost face and jump up and down in this Cangzhou city?" Zhang Shou smiled, and casually relayed the conversations between Master Bi and Shopkeeper Hua that Xiao Peanut heard in Hua's Silk Village. As for whether the matter will be completely distorted after the two of them relayed it, he is naturally not worried, Zhu Tingfang still has the ability to judge this.

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then said casually: "However, today is really a bit too coincidental, these two people were all bumped into by me, not to mention, they were twisted to the county office, and they were all inseparable from me, which is really strange." ”

"The previous case was that the shopkeeper Nahua took the initiative to send someone to see me to denounce, and you just said that you were going today, so I said something to him, so I let you meet him so coincidentally."

Zhu Tingfang briskly explained the origin of the first coincidence, and then said with a smile, "As for you bumping into this prefect, then you have to blame that the probability of going out and crashing into an accident is too high, I heard that you bumped into him last time on Bliss Street and smashed a cup?" ”

Zhang Shou didn't expect that the eldest brother would make such a joke in the future, and immediately sneered: "The last time I bumped into him, I have to ask the Cao Wu you recommended to me to lead the way as a guide." ”

"This guy is a bit interesting, and Yingying recommended it to me, and he has some influence on many dart games and martial arts halls, of course I want to use it. He took you to see this Huang Wei, and nine times out of ten, it was just to remind you that there was such a person who was making waves. Of course, even without him, those two fools jumped up and down so blatantly, thinking that I was blind and deaf? ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Tingfang said lightly: "Next, the two of them will be locked in a prison cell, and they will go dog-eat-dog!" After two days, I will send them directly to the capital by car, and let the prefect of Hejian go to the capital to file a complaint! ”

The eldest brother is really ruthless enough! Zhang Shou muttered in his heart again, but since Zhu Tingfang didn't ask how he talked with the shopkeeper Hua, he was happy to drag it out first. After all, although the businessman in Luzhou said that he had a big package, he hadn't agreed yet, and he couldn't talk about the follow-up, just like the progress he made with the shopkeeper Hua today.

At a time when the DPRK and China have not yet reached a consensus on this matter, of course he cannot be too full of words. Of course, whether these people will be able to exert their strength in the DPRK after knowing about it is another question.

When he came out of the lobby, he saw that at the bottom of the steps, Ah Liu was talking to Little Peanut. The little guy obviously just came back, and he was so hot that he wiped his sweat with his sleeves, but it seemed that he was wiping and wiping before he realized that he was wearing a silk handkerchief, which was a bad clothes, and the person's movements suddenly stiffened. Especially when he saw him coming down the steps, Little Peanut was even more embarrassed and red.

"What do you say in the sun on a hot day? Let's go, go back to the room first, look at the two of you, your faces are red! ”

Seeing that Zhang Shou did not reprimand himself for ruining things, but only said that it was hot, Xiao Peanut was immediately grateful, and after seeing Ah Liu follow, he hurriedly chased after him. As for the fact that he almost hit someone and fell down on the way back on his horse when he came back today, he wanted to hide it, but in the end he still said it.

"You didn't hurt anyone, and you didn't hurt yourself?" Zhang Shou asked, and when he saw Little Peanut nodding again and again, he smiled and said, "That's fine, it's not a big deal." In the future, the horse will be yours to ride for the time being, remember to ride and practice more near the county government if you have nothing to do. It's a very docile horse, and it's good to get used to it. ”

Knowing that the horse had temporarily returned to him, Little Peanut was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him again and again. At last he still remembered what he was doing, for fear that he would be heard by those servants and servants on the road at this time, so he endured it until he entered the room, and then he couldn't wait to say: "The price of that cloth shop in Songjiang is too expensive, no wonder the business is not good at all." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Shou was a little surprised, "What's a bad law?" ”

"I was dressed in silk clothes, and I rode a tall horse to the door, and as soon as I stopped, the shopkeeper immediately circled around me, and his attitude was very courteous!" Little Peanut said vividly, "At first, I thought that people knew that I followed you out of the silk village, but later I found that there were many people coming and going in front of the store, but none of them came in to see the cloth!" The shopkeepers all complained that business was not good. ”

He paused for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then continued: "They said that to open a shop in this Bliss Street, it costs dozens of dollars a month to rent a shop, and they have a large shop, many personnel, and a huge overhead, but the cotton cloth is transported from Songjiang Mansion, that is, when the rich people cut intimate clothes, they can only afford it, and they can't sell dozens of horses a month. ”

"So, if you can't make ends meet, if you continue like this, you're going to close the door. The two young men were hired locally, and they were sad when they talked about the possibility of losing their jobs, and the shopkeeper also said that he was afraid that he would have to pack up his bed and go back to his hometown in Songjiang. By the way, I asked about the price of the cloth, and said that their best standard cloth is produced in Sanlintang, Songjiang Prefecture. ”

Little Peanut's whole face was about to twitch, and he complained unexpectedly: "This is cotton, not silk, they dare to sell it so expensive, why don't they rob the money!" ”

Zhang Shou couldn't help but be embarrassed by Little Peanut's righteous indignant tone, and then said earnestly: "There is a kind of thing in this world, called high quality and high price...... To put it more colloquially, it is a penny for the price! ”

"I think it's the right slaughter of fat sheep!" In Little Peanut's simple cognition, cotton cloth should be cheaper than silk - he didn't know that a few hundred years earlier, there was a time when scarce cotton cloth was also very expensive. He carefully explained the prices and sales of other fabrics, and finally patted his forehead and said, "By the way, I met someone when I came back." ”

"That's Mr. Cao's dart head of the Shunhe Dart Bureau, and he said please let me bring it to you. He also said that the Songjiang people's cloth was of high quality and quality, and the things were not very good, and he had just bought a piece of cloth at a high price, and if he hadn't returned and lost face, he would have fallen directly into the face...... He also said that the shopkeeper of the cloth village had also secretly met the son of the prefect of Hejian, because the prefect was his great patron. ”

When Zhang Shou heard this, his heart was very bright for a while. There is no doubt that regardless of whether Cao Wu passed on the news to him because of the scene at the canal wharf, no one leaked his conversation with Ah Liuna, otherwise he would not have deliberately created a chance encounter with Little Peanut.

As for the Matsue cloth shop...... Hengzhu didn't want to buy cloth, but to see how Songjiang cloth compared to Beibu, and as a result, the Songjiang cloth shop obviously didn't sell ordinary cloth, or the shopkeeper didn't want others to think that they were selling ordinary goods. Otherwise, the price of a horse will not be offered consistently.

"Very well, you've got everything you need to inquire about."

Zhang Shou touched the little peanut's head with a smile, and then asked, "If you miss your uncle, go back and see him." By the way, I asked him on his behalf, is there any chili pepper? I want the small, pointy, if anything, piggyback on ten pounds and eight pounds! ”

"Ten pounds and eight pounds...... Why didn't he go and grab it! ”

When Little Peanut arrived at the shop of Lao Xianyu on Shuishi Street, and brought Zhang Shou's original words to Lao Xianyu, the latter suddenly jumped like thunder. However, Little Peanut didn't cling to it, and complained with a dark face.

"Uncle, you've been growing those things for many years, and you haven't sold them, and you don't usually eat them yourself, but now Dr. Zhang wants it, and you give it to him, isn't that a favor?" Besides, he didn't let me come here empty-handed. ”

Little Peanut opened an oiled paper bag on the table as he spoke, and it was a lump of mud, but the old salted fish that he had tasted once recognized at a glance that it was a chicken called Hua Chicken that Zhang Shou had instructed him to specially concoct for Zhu Ying to eat. Thinking of the tender and fatty taste, he immediately felt that his mouth was full of saliva, and his stomach couldn't help but growl.

Little Peanut then opened another single-layer small round food box, where a small five-inch porcelain dish was stacked with pieces of crystal clear pastries, and a layer of yellow osmanthus was sprinkled on it.

"This is the secret sugar osmanthus made by Zhao Guogong's Mansion, Dr. Zhang asked people to make a cake, and then sprinkled with sugar osmanthus after it cooled, but it is delicious, and you can't buy it outside! Dr. Zhang said that if there are peanuts, it is better to send some, he asked people to make peanut crisp for me to eat, the peanuts are crushed, and you can also wrap rice balls, and he has already taught the cook the chicken in the palace......

Seeing that Little Peanut couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when he said it, the old salted fish suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

What is this, following Zhang Shou, a top foodie, so Little Peanut has also become a foodie? He deliberately changed the name of this kid to Little Peanut, is it a prophecy?

But the problem is that ten catties and eight catties of chili peppers must be small and pointed, plus sun-dried ...... He doesn't have so many!

Although there was no, but the chicken was eaten, and the osmanthus cake was also eaten, and the old salted fish felt that his tongue was full of relish, and at the same time, he had to complete Zhang Shou's explanation. In desperation, he could only send the little monk Guantao back to the Zanghai Lower Courtyard and find someone to ask for support. And for such a result, Little Peanut said that he couldn't be more satisfied.

Zhang Shou's slug and the fragments of the stele and the rubbings of the stele he sent to the imperial court, but because the fragments were too heavy, they were delayed for several days on the road, and on the seventh day after Zhu Ying arrived in the capital, he and Zhu Tingfang sent a four-day late note and arrived in the capital together.

At the same time, it was sent to the Zhu family of the Zhao State Mansion, and Zhang Shou made up for the future uncle Zhu Tingfang for twenty times, and finally became the two silk horses he bought. He didn't write a letter, and neither did Zhu Tingfang, so he deliberately hired a car to deliver it day and night, so that the Zhu family's guard, who cost more money for carriages and horses, also couldn't say the reason for delivering silk from hundreds of miles away.

Even so, when Zhu Ying saw the material of the colorful butterfly flying, she immediately smiled and said, "This pattern is just right for making a skirt!" My mother and I made a pleated skirt by ourselves, so that when we go out, we don't look like a mother and daughter, but like a sister! ”

Jiu Niang couldn't cry or laugh: "Yingying, you are too childish, how old am I......"

"How old are you, mother, you're only in your early thirties, and you're still young!" Zhu Ying didn't say that you are not old at all, so she grabbed Jiu Niang's arm and said, "And you see how beautiful the color of this colorful butterfly is...... Besides, how can it be a piece of Ashou's heart! ”

Jiuniang suddenly laughed dumbly. In her thirties this year, she can be a grandmother in a family where some children get married early - their family is because the eldest Zhu Tingfang has a changeable marriage, and the second Zhu Tingjie is too unproductive before, and the marriage is not high or low, otherwise, even if Zhu Ying is not married, even if she is in the temple, she will already be a grandmother!

However, since Zhu Ying insisted that this was Zhang Shou's intention, she also agreed to it. Seeing that Zhu Ying was holding another royal blue silk and frowning worriedly, she saw Mrs. Tai smiling slightly, and knew that someone must have guessed what Zhu Ying was struggling with.

Aren't you just thinking about how to divide a piece of cloth among your grandmother and future mother-in-law? Zhang Shou is the same, everything is sent to Zhao Guogong's Mansion, and it will be okay to send another horse to Zhang Yuan?

"Yingying, you can personally send Zhang Yuan to Mrs. Wu." Mrs. Tai took the initiative to speak, and when she saw that Zhu Ying was suddenly a little embarrassed, she smiled and said, "Ah Shou and your eldest brother didn't bring back a word, obviously this is not so much something that was specially bought, but rather a casual purchase, and I didn't take it seriously, otherwise if I really want to give a gift, I won't even have a gift list, and I won't even bring a word." ”

Zhu Ying's face suddenly stretched when Mrs. Tai said it, and she agreed immediately. When she went out in a hurry, Mrs. Tai said in a deep voice: "The quarrel between the DPRK and China has not yet come to a conclusion? ”

"Where can the quarrel be over so quickly. Besides, the people who complained for the eldest prince went forward and succeeded, not to mention that some people implied that the queen murdered the adulterous concubine, so they could only be trapped in the deep palace. Don't look at the adulterous concubine in their mouths who don't even have a son, how can they have the kung fu to mix in any big drama to win the heir. Jiu Niang shook her head, and then laughed, "Even Yongping has woken up this time." ”

Although Zhu Ying knew about the dispute between the court and the Chinese people, which Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang were discussing, she didn't bother to pay attention to it - she had never claimed to be a smart person, so she didn't bother with it. When she dismounted at the gate of Zhang Yuan, she met another fat guy unexpectedly. She raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Lu San is fat?" What are you doing here? ”

Lu Sanlang greeted him with a smile, and when Zhu Ying dismounted, he smiled and said, "The little gentleman is not here, there are a lot of messy voices in the court, didn't I come to visit the great master?" Do you know that the voices that have been looking for the eldest prince recently, and the second prince is also in the back. Do you believe that they are brothers, friends, brothers, brothers? ”
