Xu Ping comforted Duan Yunjie a few words, and when he saw that the young man inside kept probing his head and looking out, he stood up and walked straight to the store.

Sitting down across from the young man, Xu Ping asked him, "What's your name?" Who's on it? ”

The young man looked at Xu Ping, raised his head and said, "Why do you ask me?" Who are you? ”

"My name is Xu Ping, the Marquis of Yongning County, and I am now the deputy envoy of Langzhong and Yantie. Before returning to Beijing, Ren Quan knew the military of Yongzhou Prefecture, promoted Yongzhou sugar affairs, and promoted Zuojiang Daoxi Tong. ”

The young man originally felt that Xu Ping was familiar, and only after listening to Xu Ping's words did he think that he had seen it at the prisoner sacrifice ceremony last year.

There was such a high-ranking official of the imperial court sitting opposite, and he didn't know why Xu Ping said his official position in such detail, the young man was a little nervous, and whispered: "My name is Zhang Xinyi, the official of the east head, and I-my father is the former privy servant Zhang Shot!" ”

Xu Ping nodded: "It turns out that Zhang Fu shot the little yamen in the mansion, what have you been doing in this store for the past two days?" ”

"I'm in the store, naturally eating and drinking, can you manage it?!"

Zhang Xin looked at Xu Ping with a glare, and his voice suddenly rose high.

Xu Ping smiled: "I naturally can't care about it, but the shopkeeper said that you are harassing your lover here, and you have been persuaded to leave many times, but you have stayed here and not left." I can't ignore such things. ”

Zhang Xinyi's face turned red: "Why do you care?" I took a fancy to the little lady of the Duan family, and I wanted to marry back to be a concubine, but I didn't use it, did I still violate the royal law? Besides, even if it's not appropriate, it's not your turn to be the deputy envoy of the third division to take care of it! ”

Just now, Zhang Xin had already eaten a little vinegar when he saw Xu Ping talking to Duan Yunjie cordially, and then he had a seizure, pointed at Xu Ping and said, "Isn't it that you also take a fancy to the lady of the Duan family?" You also have a wife, it's nothing more than a concubine! You didn't pay to go home, so why did you stop me? ”

Xu Ping's complexion sank, grabbed Zhang Xinyi's finger pointing at him, and slammed it on the table.

Zhang Xinyi is pampered, not as good as Xu Ping's daily fitness, and once went into battle to kill the enemy, his fingers hurt, and he screamed involuntarily: "What are you doing?" Do you want to use strong? My father is a servant of this dynasty, and he is a servant of the court, and he is a feudal prince, you dare to be presumptuous! ”

Xu Ping said coldly: "If you talk nonsense again, I will slap my mouth!" ”

Zhang Xinyi He had seen this kind of scene, and was frightened by Xu Ping, and didn't dare to speak anymore, but just puffed up his eyes and got angry.

Xu Ping said: "Do you know what the lady of the Duan family you are pestering is?" ”

"It's just a down-and-out eunuch woman, not your wife and concubine!"

Xu Ping raised his hand and slapped Zhang Xinyi in the mouth, stunned Zhang Xinyi, and looked at Xu Ping stupidly.

"The father of the Duan family lady was originally the county magistrate of Yongzhou, and later served as the magistrate of Taiping County, because he returned to Beijing to report on his work, unfortunately contracted a serious illness and died. I just told you that I was the original chief official of Yongzhou, didn't you hear it? Duan Zhixian has served under me for many years, and I don't know how much credit he has made, but he died without waiting for his merits, leaving such a daughter alive alone. ”

It wasn't until this time that Zhang Xinyi came to his senses, covered his face that was red by Xu Ping, and snorted: "So what? In short, her father and mother have gone, and the man should get married and the woman should get married, what did I do wrong? ”

"You don't know what you're doing wrong? After the lady of the Duan family is a hero, she is now wearing filial piety, and in order to make a living, she has to open a small shop here and show her face, and she was molested by the son of a powerful person like you, what is your official law! ”

Zhang Xinyi was confused by Xu Ping's words for the first time, Duan Yunjie was wearing plain clothes, but she didn't expect her to be filial piety. And after any heroes, Zhang Xinyi has no concept at all.

Xu Ping said slowly to Zhang Xinyi: "Duan Niangzi's father turned out to be a hero under me, and when I met an unsuccessful prodigal child like you in the capital, I had to call me here, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Zhang Xinyi was in a fog when Xu Ping said it, and he was a little scared and uneasy. Zhang Qi himself relied on climbing the big tree of the Empress Dowager Liu to rise to prominence, and he has no talent, but he has a very good godson and usually manages it very strictly, Zhang Xinyi is not the kind of gentleman who is spoiled by his family. Besides, he has more than 20 brothers, and it is not his turn to be favored.

The reason why Duan Yunjie has been pestered here in the past two days is that she is fascinated by beauty, and secondly, she is just a broken household with no background. Zhang Xinyi's father was a privy envoy and was the prince of the country, although the Zhang family was not as powerful as when the Queen Mother was there, but for a broken family, it is undoubtedly from hell to heaven to be able to enter the door.

As soon as his heart was shaken, Zhang Xinyi remembered his situation, and saw that Xu Ping was fierce on the opposite side, and he still held one of his hands firmly, and he was a little annoyed and angry after being afraid. Xu Ping is just a county marquis, the deputy envoy of salt and iron of the third division, although he is close to the newly favored uncle Li Yonghe and his family, so he is too domineering to himself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xinyi jerked the hand that was grabbed by Xu Ping, but he didn't expect that his strength was too small, so he didn't pull it out at all, and was caught by Xu Ping. couldn't help blushing: "Those who don't know are not guilty!" I didn't know this before, even if it wasn't a big mistake to pester Duan Niangzi here. You came here and scolded me, didn't you take my home seriously? ”

Xu Ping said coldly: "I don't pay attention to an unsuccessful prodigal child like you, what does it matter to your family?" Could it be that you are still carrying the sign of the 'Deng Guogong' Mansion here? ”

"You let me go first!"

Xu Ping shook his head disdainfully, let go of his hand and let go of Zhang Xinyi.

Knowing that Duan Yunjie was still in the filial piety period, Zhang Xinyi was unwilling and did not dare to entangle it in his heart. It's okay if no one knows, as long as you use means to get Duan Yunjie to the mansion, everything will be fine. Now that Xu Ping has been provoked, he can't use any means, and he may even get into trouble if he is not careful.

Countless thoughts turned in his heart, Zhang Xinyi still stomped his feet hatefully after all, only remember in his heart that there will always be a chance in the future, is it possible that Xu Ping can still watch here for a lifetime?

Standing up, Zhang Xinyi looked at Xu Ping and Duan Yunjie hatefully, and left in a huff.

Looking at the back of Zhang Xinyi leaving, Duan Yunjie whispered to Xu Ping, who came to his side: "I heard that his father is a servant, and the official is the prince of the country, if you offend him like this, will there be any trouble?" ”

Xu Ping laughed when he heard this: "I offended him? When I was in Yongzhou, his father was a privy envoy at that time, and I don't know how much trouble he caused me! Now that there is a son who is coming to pester you, why don't you ask his family if he is afraid of offending me? ”

Hearing this, the dark clouds on Duan Yunjie's face finally dissipated, and she laughed: "You are a sincere gentleman after all, you will not worry about these villains, and you can't offend anything." ”

"A gentleman does nothing more than to be above board, and to repay virtue with virtue and grievances. He's got into trouble, and I'm not going to swallow this disadvantage casually! ”

Hearing Xu Ping say this, Duan Yunjie was a little worried: "What do you want?" Acting like this, the officialdom is a handle! ”

"I'm not good, but I'm just driving this unsuccessful kid far out of the capital! Don't worry, I will clearly write the third class courtyard, saying that this Zhang family Xiaoya has nothing to do in the capital, disturb the place, and find a small official in a remote state, so as not to stir up the miasma in the capital! Besides, I have a lot of words in the officialdom, and this one is not bad! ”

Duan Yunjie didn't say anything more, after knowing each other for so many years, he knew that Xu Ping would not be so easy to regress when he was up to the bull, but he would not lose his mind, and he would always grasp the measure.

The two sat down at a table, Duan Yunjie looked at Xu Ping and said, "You have been very busy these days, you haven't been to my small shop for a long time." ”

Xu Ping didn't answer, and he couldn't answer. The capital is no better than in Yongzhou, where you have the final say on everything, and thousands of people are available for your own disposal. Nowadays, many things have to be done by yourself, and they are still hindered by others everywhere, where is the freedom when they work outside. What's more important is that he still has to take care of his family now, and family matters can't be mentioned in front of Duan Yunjie.

At this time, the sun has set down the mountain, the sky is completely dark, and the trees on both sides of the road are hung with colorful lanterns, like a long dragon, winding in Kaifeng City.

"The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk."

Xu Ping thought about it, it seemed that he had never come to this world without such a charming and romantic day. Now sitting with Duan Yunjie, there are still many entanglements in state affairs, family affairs, and private affairs.

After being silent for a while, Xu Ping whispered to Duan Yunjie: "Opening a business like a hotel is always showing up, and something may happen." This time, I drove away a small Yanei of the Zhang family, and I don't know who will be provoked in a few days. Forget it, you two better change your profession and what can't you do to make ends meet? ”

Duan Yunjie smiled and said, "Then what to do?" ”

Xu Ping lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that he was editing and revising the book he was printing today, and looked up at Duan Yunjie suddenly: "Or you will do what you are best at, and open a book printing workshop in the capital." Today's Sansi Li printed books are very different from what you printed in Yongzhou back then! The bookstores in the capital have always sold well, and they can make money by printing any book! ”

"Print what? What to sell? Where does the capital come from? Our small shop, doing life and work, can only save twenty or thirty yuan a year. The set of tools that Yongzhou printed books back then was worth a lot of money. ”

After being entangled by Zhang Xinyi for two days, Duan Yunjie was also a little annoyed and didn't want to open a hotel for a living. It's not that she hasn't thought about picking up the job of printing books with her relatives, but the cost is too big and she is powerless.

Xu Ping looked at Duan Yunjie and smiled: "Isn't there still me?" There's always a way to raise money for you! ”

Duan Yunjie looked at Xu Ping and just smiled and shook her head. Now it's not as good as it was back then, how could Duan Yunjie take Xu Ping's family's money? Xu Ping's family has everything, the most important thing is to have a wife and daughter, which is a gap that cannot be crossed.

Xu Ping knew what Duan Yunjie meant, but he was still full of confidence: "Don't worry, the capital will always be raised for you!" (To be continued.) )
