Chapter 219: Picking Peaches (I)

After returning from Shenfu, Fan Hongdao once again missed the time to go out of the city, and after resting in the inner city for one night, he left the city and returned to the residence of the Rugui inn the next day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Outside the gate of the inn, Fan Hongdao saw a person waiting there, but it was Zhang Zhong, a servant of Miss Zhang. Seeing Fan Hongdao coming back, Zhang Zhong took the initiative to explain: "My young lady is inside." ”

Fan Hongdao thought that this eldest lady was really interesting to herself, and she must be concerned about the result of her "negotiation" with Shen Shoufu. So he couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Zhang is so polite, just send you to ask about the results, why bother to come in person?"

Zhang Zhong said with a smile: "Mr. Fan misunderstood, my young lady came here to talk with several courtiers, not for Mr. Fan." ”

Fan Hongdao suddenly felt that he was a little self-inflicted, he looked inside through the courtyard door, and sure enough, he saw a tea house in the south-facing bright room, and Miss Zhang with a veil was sitting there, talking to five or six businessmen.

Fan Hongdao's familiar Sun Chaofeng, Yang Chaofeng, Wang Shopkeeper and others were among them, so he couldn't help but secretly wonder, what are they doing here? What does Miss Zhang have to talk about with these businessmen?

The courtyard was not big, and Miss Zhang looked up and saw Fan Hongdao, but she didn't say hello to Fan Hongdao and continued to talk to a few people around her.

"Then you talk first, and go back first!" Fan Hongdao was bored, turned around and walked towards the courtyard where he lived.

Back in the house, about half an hour later, when Fan Hongdao was thinking about lunch, he heard Zhang Zhong standing outside the window and shouting, "Mr. Fan!

Fan Hongdao followed Zhang Zhong again and came to the previous courtyard, at this time most of the people had dispersed, and only Miss Zhang was left.

Fan Hongdao asked curiously, "How did you and those few outsiders get together today, and what do you have to discuss?"

Miss Zhang didn't answer, but asked with great concern: "You went to see Shen Ge Lao, what was the result?"

Fan Hongdao said nonsense: "Shen Ge said that Shen Dagongzi can be mediocre, and this time he is the Cheng of Nancheng County, please take care of me." ”

Zhang Chongxiu was very happy, Fan Hongdao could talk nonsense so easily, which shows that the two sides have "made peace", and Shen Shoufu will not continue to exclude Fan Hongdao from now on.

really let this Fan Hongdao do it, as a small prisoner, he "forced" Shoufu to make peace, which is really surprising. Miss Zhang sighed secretly for a moment, and then she asked again:

"There are three shops to sell here on Chongwenmenwai Street, I heard earlier, what kind of Zhu Gongzi do you want to introduce to buy these shop properties?"

Fan Hongdao didn't know why Miss Zhang was suddenly interested in this, so he nodded and admitted: "I thought so before, probably to deter the Zheng family from interfering in forced buying and selling. But now things have changed, and I haven't figured out what to do next. ”

Miss Zhang continued to ask: "Then what is the background of Zhu Gongzi? If he can deter the Zheng family, he must also be a big man, why doesn't the concubine know anything about it?"

Of course you don't know, Fan Hongdao thought to himself.

Zhu Shufang is used to showing people in men's clothes, and ordinary people can't figure out where she comes from; second, she will definitely not publicize her life experience everywhere, and only people with enough connections will know; third, Zhu Shufang has only been in the capital for more than a year, which is not too long.

So of course, an "outsider" like Miss Zhang doesn't know the details of Zhu Gongzi, at most, she has vaguely heard that there is such a number one person.

Now that Miss Zhang asked directly, Fan Hongdao replied cautiously and vaguely after a little thought: "She has a bit of a royal background. ”

In addition, Fan Hongdao didn't say much, after all, Zhu Shufang's life experience and purpose of entering Beijing are still a bit sensitive, so it's better not to spread it around. Besides, Fan Hongdao himself is not a long-tongued woman, so he is not interested in promoting gossip everywhere.

Fortunately, Fan Hongdao was cautious at the moment, otherwise he would reveal the origin of Lord Zhu in front of Miss Zhang, but he was afraid that the effect would be similar to that of detonating a bomb on the spot.

Of course, Fan Hongdao doesn't understand Miss Zhang's background, and he doesn't know what kind of danger he has just experienced.

Fan Hongdao asked rhetorically, "Why are you asking these things?"

Miss Zhang replied thoughtfully, "The concubine is thinking, can you buy these three store properties?" Do you think the concubine can do it?"

Fan Hongdao seemed to have heard something incredible, and the first question that came to mind was "Do you have money?" and the second question that came to mind was "What do you buy store property for?"

Fan Hongdao wanted to complain, it was inappropriate to let the eldest lady of the official eunuch family, and it was too bad to jump out to buy store property.

There is no need for Fan Hongdao to give advice, Miss Zhang has already made up her mind: "Today afternoon, I will talk to Shopkeeper Tian about these three store properties!"

Fan Hongdao didn't bother to say anything about this. You have money, you are willful, you are happy.

Zhang Chongxiu suddenly got up solemnly and said to Fan Hongdao: "The concubine invites you to meet, there is one more thing I want to tell you." ”

"What else is important?" Fan Hongdao had no clue and couldn't guess at all, so he could only ask directly.

Miss Zhang replied: "Didn't you advocate that the merchants outside the Chongwen Gate in Nancheng should imitate the scholars to form an alliance? No matter what the name, it doesn't matter if it's the leader of the alliance or the president. ”

Fan Hongdao was already stunned, he was dumbfounded, and fell into a state of extreme shock.

If it was just incredible that he heard Miss Zhang say that he was going to buy three properties, then now it feels like a fantasy.

Miss Zhang looked at Fan Hongdao quietly, as if she didn't think her thoughts were weird, and asked calmly, "What?

Fan Hongdao recovered from the shock, and after making sure that Miss Zhang was not joking, he questioned: "This is actually an industrial and commercial alliance, you want to join it, what is your purpose? What benefits can you get?"

Secondly, you don't have the qualifications to join the game, let alone want to be the head of the club. You're not from here at all, and you don't deal much with the merchants here, so I'm afraid you're not recognized. You just said that you bought three store properties, could it be that you are aiming at this one?

Third, if you want to join in and occupy the first golden position, then why should you serve the public? If you can't serve the public, then even if you can become the head of the council, what's the point of being a light pole?"

Miss Zhang listened to Fan Hongdao's question, and suddenly interjected coldly: "You still haven't said the fourth point, right? If I become the head of the meeting, what should you Fan Hongdao do?"

"Let's talk about this again!" Fan Hongdao avoided talking about his selfishness. He worked hard to plant trees for half a year, and suddenly someone else wanted to pick the peaches, and Fan Hongdao was strange if he had no opinion.

"The main thing is the above three questions, can you answer them? and then you think about how to convince me of this question!"

Miss Zhang said confidently: "Of course I am prepared. ”
