It turned out that the "Uncle Zheng" in Chen Bantou's mouth was the external manager of Zheng Guotai's family, the uncle of the dynasty, and his name was Zheng Zhaoyi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ใ info Maybe in the eyes of the minister, this kind of foreign steward is just a slave of the family, but in the eyes of Chen Bantou, he is definitely a big man who can be a backer.
In any case, Zheng Guotai is the brother of the most favored concubine in the dynasty, and the steward of the Zheng family is also a very face-saving figure in the capital.
The Zheng family came out violently because of a favored concubine, but at present, the family property is not enough to be squandered by the uncles of the country, so the stewards outside the Zheng family have the pressure and task of generating income.
And this Zheng Zhaoyi chief steward set his sights on the area outside Chongwenmen, where commerce was thriving, so he got acquainted with Cheng Qin Gaoye of the former county of Daxing County and Chen Wenwu, the head of the team.
It's a pity that after the last shot, not only did he not grab the territory, but he broke off Qin Xiancheng, an ally, and in the end he didn't get anything, and he completely lost money.
Today's Shangyuan night, the officials of Daxing County have to inspect the streets near the city, and Chen Bantou is no exception.
Later, Chen Bantou met Zheng Da Steward and his party again, and saw that Zheng Da Steward was annoyed that there was no good place to watch the lanterns and drink, so he led Zheng Da Steward to the Invitation Moon Tower.
There was such a big movement in the corridor on the third floor of the Invitation Yue Building, the shopkeeper was already alarmed, and hurriedly squeezed in, he recognized Chen Bantou, so he asked: "It turned out to be Chen Bantou, what's wrong?"
Chen Bantou pointed to the flower room and said: "I have a distinguished guest who wants to find a place to drink, and this is good, and I will spare the shopkeeper to vacate the room." โ
The shopkeeper's surname was Hu, and he turned his head to see Fan Hongdao blocking the door, and in an instant, he had a full view of Fan Hongdao's dress, and then made a judgment in the next moment, this young man was a poor man from other places.
can continue to judge that in the flower room, this young man is only afraid of being the one with the highest status, so he will come forward from the private room to deal with the dispute.
Shopkeeper Hu has opened a restaurant for so many years, and this eye is not blown. How to weigh the weight between a poor scholar who has no ambition and a snake servant who is not willing to do it, I already know in my heart.
Immediately, the shopkeeper Hu said to Fan Hongdao: "This friend, the master sent a message, and there is no way to do it, and ask a friend to make it convenient to get out of the room, even if it is to help in the next favor, this intention must be remembered!"
Then the shopkeeper Hu said very "boldly": "As for tonight's expenses, all of them are waived, which can be regarded as making amends to friends." If a friend comes to us next time, the cost will be waived, and it will be regarded as the next east, how about that?"
I have to say that the shopkeeper Hu is still very exquisite, even if he drives people away, he can say it very well, and he can also make up for part of the face from other places. When a person with a slightly soft and weak temperament encounters such a statement, he is afraid that he will agree.
It's a pity that Fan Hongdao hates this kind of "social person" tone that is oily and smooth, looks exquisite, and obviously harms others but seems to give others face. Besides, there are two women in the house, how can this face be easily thrown away by a man in front of a woman?
So Fan Hongdao replied with a smile: "Shopkeeper Hu wants to exchange two free meals for my face, but he looks down on me too much! Is my face only worth these two meals of wine and food?"
The rejected shopkeeper Hu was not annoyed, and immediately issued a new price code: "You can ask your Excellency to enjoy it three times, and all the expenses will be paid by you." โ
Fan Hongdao scoffed: "It's not a matter of money, my generation of scholars is different from you businessmen, and your face can't be exchanged for money." โ
Shopkeeper Hu felt that it was not cost-effective to pay a greater price, so he turned to Chen Bantou and said helplessly: "The guest refuses." โ
Chen Bantou sneered a few times, whether Fan Hongdao got out of the way or not, it was all in his expectation. If Fan Hongdao is willing to give up the room, then he will earn face with Steward Zheng, and if Fan Hongdao refuses to give in, then dig a pit for him.
Chen Bantou pushed the shopkeeper Hu aside, and personally came out to face Fan Hongdao and said: "The one behind me is the chief steward of Uncle Guo's mansion, Zheng Zhaoyi and Uncle Zheng, who needs a room to entertain distinguished guests, do you have the courage to let it?"
Uncle Zheng Jia? Fan Hongdao immediately knew which side of the character it was. But anyone who knows a little about the history of the Wanli period, how can they not know the Zheng family?
Chen Bantou revealed Zheng Zhaoyi's identity and waited for Fan Hongdao's reaction. Fan Hongdao had already released cruel words that he would never let go, if he suddenly changed his position at this time, it would naturally be embarrassing, but if he continued to insist, he would look down on the Zheng family, and he would wait to be crushed by Uncle Zheng!
Fan Hongdao, who should have faced a difficult choice, had no pressure, and even couldn't help laughing, nodded Chen Bantou and said, "Your heart is punishable, but with your IQ, it is at this level." โ
This made Chen Bantou very unhappy, he obviously came up with such a clever plan, first use the Hu shopkeeper to lure the enemy deep, and then dig a pit and wait for Fan Hongdao to jump, why Fan Hongdao still treats himself as a fool?
Afterwards, Fan Hongdao ignored Chen Bantou and shouted to Zheng Zhaoyi, who was standing a little farther away: "This Chen Bantou plans to borrow a knife to kill people, does Steward Zheng intend to act as his knife? Being used by such clumsy means, don't you feel ashamed of Steward Zheng? If you change to Zuo Xia, you will definitely turn around and leave, and you will not be embarrassed with this surnamed Chen!"
In the eyes of others, if the dignified housekeeper of the national uncle family is so easily used by small tricks, it is indeed quite cheap. Chen Bantou's careful thinking, if it is not publicly pierced, it is still a little interesting, if it is publicly poked, it will be a bit low-end.
But Steward Zheng was expressionless, couldn't see his emotions, and asked Chen Bantou, "Who is this?"
Chen Bantou replied: "This is Fan Hongdao, he was the one who broke the good thing last time." Xiao thinks that if Steward Zheng can vent his anger, it is also excellent. Moreover, Fan Hongdao is a well-known person in the neighborhood, and he can be used to kill chickens and monkeys. โ
The name Fan Hongdao set off several waves in Steward Zheng's heart, and after listening to Chen Bantou's words, he said to Fan Hongdao again: "If you are Jinling Fan Hongdao, you don't mind being used!"
Fan Hongdao frowned, "The principle of first come, first come, don't you understand Steward Zheng?
Zheng Zhaoyi chuckled a few times and replied unceremoniously: "So what, you are just a showman! Who dares to take care of me for you? If no one cares, why can't you use force?"
In the mind of Steward Zheng, who intends to touch the business district outside Chongwenmen, Fan Hongdao is the banner of the business group outside Chongwenmen, and he has a strong interest in humiliating Fan Hongdao.
So he knew that Chen Bantou deliberately led him to meet Fan Hongdao, but he didn't mind. To a certain extent, this is also an opportunity for Chen Bantou to do what he likes and deliberately create an opportunity for himself to "repair" Fan Hongdao.
Fan Hongdao understood that Steward Zheng made it clear that he couldn't get along with himself.
