Chapter 944: Flowers and Branches Tremble
Although she was very curious about how Zhang Shou would show those noble disciples a clear way if she stayed in Qingfeng Xulaitang, Zhu Ying still had a good night's sleep. When she was woken up by Zhan Jin and Liuyin early in the morning, the eldest lady even got up a little bit, and it wasn't until she heard their words clearly that she was a little sober.
"Ah Shou asked Zhu Hong to come back and report on the scene when he saw someone last night? Quick, let Zhu Hong come in!"
"Miss, you haven't dressed up yet!"
In the face of such a reminder, Zhu Ying still ordered the screen to be put on, and she was busy grooming and dressing up by Zhan Jin and Liuyin in front of the dressing table, but her ears listened to Zhu Hong talking about what she saw and heard last night through the screen.
Angry? Of course it's impossible.
Halfway through listening, she laughed so hard that by the time she was finished, she was already laughing and lying on the dressing table, and the bright red color almost stained her sleeves red.
"I knew that Ah Shou must have a good idea before he made up his mind!"
Although Zhu Hong outside said that he expected Zhu Ying to most of the reactions, he endured and endured, and in the end he couldn't help but say: "But Shou Gongzi is completely in the name of the eldest lady, don't say that Mrs. Fuli has no such plan, and you don't have this plan at all, isn't he talking nonsense to deceive those people?"
"Originally, I didn't have this plan, but I just thought about it carefully, Ah Shou's method is very good, so I will do it!"
Zhu Ying casually threw the rouge paste in her hand on the dresser, looked at herself in the bronze mirror with her eyebrows fluttering, and then turned around and motioned for Zhan Jin and Quicksilver to remove the screen, and then appeared in front of Zhu Hong in the most perfect way as always.
Seeing that the guard that her grandmother had always trusted was full of astonishment, she hurriedly lowered her head and did not dare to look directly, she ignored him, and went to the main seat to sit down on her own, and then snorted softly.
"Why did the second brother dare to calculate me before? Don't you think that I, Zhu Ying, just rely on a face, which can make the queen mother and the emperor in the palace favor a few points, and then rely on the spoiling of my grandmother and father, and the connivance of my eldest brother, so I act arbitrarily and unscrupulously?"
"I've figured it out, I don't have anyone at hand, so I'm chasing after a group of guys who don't have enough success and more than enough to lose, what's the use? If Ah Shou can help me gather those people, find out their advantages, and then help me train these pig heads who will only make stupid mistakes in the past, let them do things for me, not to mention finding a family business for them in the future, even if I arrange a future for them, then it is not impossible!"
"Miss!" Zhu Hong was so shocked that his jaw was about to drop. The eldest lady is determined by her temperament in everything on weekdays, but there is only one thing that she is not interested in at all - that is, to compete for power!
"Why are you looking at me like this? If it weren't for my father and eldest brother, I wouldn't have bothered to care about this, but when is it now?" Zhu Ying raised her chin slightly, revealing a hint of pride on her face, "When my father and eldest brother come back safely, I will naturally tell them truthfully and hand over these people to them, but now it's different." Ah Shou must be for me, that's why he thinks so far!"
The pearls in the hair are shining, the chest is red and gold, the skirt is ringed and tinkling, coupled with the delicate begonia red dress that ordinary women can't suppress at all, when Zhu Ying left the Zhang family's mansion with the two girls of Zhan Jin and Liuyin, and came to the cuiyun room again, it was like a little red in the green bushes, which was extremely amazing. And the next moment, someone greeted him with a smile on his face, it was Zhang Lu.
After greeting and greeting, this noble disciple, who was also Zhang Chen's follower, quickly glanced around, and then said cautiously: "Miss, last night the old gentleman reminded me that if you want to get ahead, you can saddle the horse ......and horse for you in the future."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted impatiently by Zhu Ying: "Why, do you think that Mr. is scheming you, so you deliberately came to me to ask for verification?"
Seeing that Zhang Lu's face turned white in an instant, and then forcibly pretended to be casual, Zhu Ying sneered: "What Mr. said is what I said, if you question him, you will question me." Zhang Lu, put away your little cleverness, don't I know? You are the penultimate to go to the Shuibo Buxing Pavilion, are you going to inquire for Zhang Chen? If you tell Zhang Chen...... Huh!"
The eldest lady even knew the order of going to the Shuibo Buxing Pavilion, but this was the real thing that scared Zhang Lu a lot, and he hurriedly swore an oath: "I never told Brother Chen...... No, Zhang Chen! He just treats me and Xiao Wu as his followers, of course I prefer to follow the eldest lady......"
"It's good that you think clearly, and don't talk nonsense!"
Zhu Ying didn't bother to talk to Zhang Lu any more, and walked forward as if no one was around, and dealt with several groups of people who greeted her attentively along the way, until she entered the Shuibo Buxing Pavilion, with Zhan Jin and Liuyin guarding outside, and Zhu Hong guarding in the dark, she was relieved.
Although Zhang Shou's idea is good, it is really annoying that she wants to perfunctory those annoying guys.
"You're here!" Zhang Shou, who had his back to Zhu Ying in front of the desk, yawned without looking back.
"I've been busy all night, I have to continue to change you to help me watch during the day, I have to go back to sleep, I can't even open my eyelids at this time!
The words had already been spoken, and Zhang Shou, who was seizing the time to make a record of the meeting based on his memory, did not wait for a reply, and couldn't help but wonder a little. After all, the greeting voices outside just now were really not small, he could hear them clearly, and knew that it must be Zhu Ying.
But when he turned his head to look, he found that Zhu Ying happened to be standing behind him, and if he moved a little bigger, he was afraid that he would be able to bump into her!
"What are you talking about, who wants to scold you!" Zhu Ying poked her head out from behind Zhang Shou, and found that he closed the book and quickly shrank back, she secretly praised a true gentleman in her heart, and she took two steps back.
"I know all about last night, thank you for your ideas. Your method of recruiting them is very good, I felt a few days ago that I know a lot of people, why can't I pick out the ones that can be used at critical moments. But don't be too gullible about them, listen to Zhu Hong, you still show your true face in front of some people? That's too risky, what if someone says it with a big mouth?"
Even if she guessed in her heart that after Zhu Ying heard his demagogic words last night, according to the temper of this eldest lady, there was a chance that she would push the boat along the river, but she really put on such a bright and refreshing attitude, Zhang Shou was still quite touched.
He smiled to himself: "Sooner or later, my true face is not a secret, and there were only six people who saw my face last night, all of whom I had carefully observed for days. You're reminding me not to trust people, but don't you think you're too gullible about me, what if I had ulterior motives for doing that last night?"
"Didn't I already let Zhu Hong watch you here last night?" Zhu Ying looked at Zhang Shou with an innocent face, and then smiled slyly, "Besides, what's the benefit of you lying to me?
That's because you haven't seen clever liars, those people are honest and loyal, and they look like dogs!
Zhang Shou was slandering, and Zhu Ying smiled again: "Besides, my father taught me that if you want to see a person clearly, you might as well really believe him once, but the premise is that you must be invincible even if you believe wrongly, or you can afford to lose." I'm confident that it won't matter if you really lie to me once, so I want to believe that you are a gentle gentleman. What's more, you didn't lie to me!"
has a father who teaches his daughter like this, no wonder there is such a willful but atmospheric daughter!
Zhu Ying couldn't help but laugh when she saw Zhang Shou's slightly stunned appearance.
"In fact, my father also told me that when you look at people, don't look at the surface, what you say and do, you can see the nature of people in every detail. ”
"For example, Zhang Chen seems to be a good-for-nothing irascible boy, but in fact, he hasn't done anything good. I think that after many merchant ships left the port from Tianjin, they sank inexplicably, and it was he who took in a businessman who escaped death and returned to Beijing to complain but was chased and killed, and quietly raised the head of the Hou family in Taining to collude with the coastal battalion under the Tianjin Patrol Division to rob and kill merchant ships. ”
"After the matter got bigger, the emperor was angry, seized the title of Marquis of Taining, and killed a person's head. Therefore, although Zhang Chen said that he hated it when he pestered me, since I heard about it from my father, I also felt that he was a little timid and upright. You must know that the Qin State Mansion has never engaged in maritime trade, because the fields and shops it owns are enough for his father and son to squander for generations. ”
It turns out that Zhang Chen is still a hot-blooded teenager who loves to take care of injustices, well, I thought he was interesting before......
As soon as such a thought was born, Zhang Shou suddenly heard Qi Liang's shouting from outside.
"Sir, there are a few strangers in the village!"
With this voice, Qi Liang broke in like a gust of wind, obviously, Zhan Jin and Liuyin outside the door were very measured, and they didn't stop him at all.
And he rushed to Zhang Shou, so he lowered his voice and said: "They didn't come to Cuiyun to ask for a master, they came to you, sir, they went to your house! Moreover, these people met Zhang Chen, who was just going to go back to Beijing, and there was an excuse to send him, but in fact, they went to sneer at Lu Sanlang!"
