Chapter 213: The True Colors of a Man
Yang Zheng suddenly smiled, lowered his head and said, "How about you?"
Li Yan'er's face turned red, and she suddenly pushed him away, gritted her teeth and said, "I'll cook raw rice with you."
Quiet!
Absolute silence!
The entire hall was completely still, and even the little monks who were shuttling back and forth were looking at Yang Zheng and Li Yan'er with their mouths wide open and following everyone's eyes.
"I'm sweating, can't you find a private time to talk about such a private thing?" Yang Zheng touched the sweat droplets on his forehead.
"People, do people hate you to death?" Li Yan'er is her daughter's family after all, she gritted her teeth and shouted this sentence, and now she is being looked at like this, her pretty face is crimson, and she can't wait to find a hole to get into.
"Now that I know I'm shy, why did I go earlier?" Yang Zheng scolded secretly, and he didn't know what to do for a while, but he didn't speak like this, and it was not a way, so he coughed twice, and smiled awkwardly: "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and many people took advantage of no one to see it and gave Yang Zheng a thumbs up, needless to say, what does that obscene appearance mean.
"Okay, brother—?"
Yang Zheng couldn't cry or laugh a little, but the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't deny it, so he only smiled awkwardly.
Li Zhuo didn't know whether he didn't hear it, or pretended not to hear it, at this time, he coughed twice and said loudly: " Hangzhou is a prosperous place since ancient times, businessmen are all over the world, although I am based on agriculture, but also attach importance to businessmen, Hangzhou is a prosperous place since ancient times, is an important place for my Ming economy, so the imperial court attaches great importance to the Chamber of Commerce in Hangzhou, the official is favored by the emperor, the development of Hangzhou businessmen, there is an unshirkable responsibility, today on the occasion of the gathering of all businessmen and celebrities, specially come to understand, there are many inconveniences, please forgive me!"
Li Zhuo is a county magistrate and an official of the imperial court, although he is polite, the courtiers dare not say anything.
Yang Yifeng said: "Your Excellency is polite, your Excellency can come to watch our businessmen, it is something that we can't ask for, how can you bother?"
Li Zhuo nodded, and said in his heart: "This Yang Yifeng has a bit of eyesight!"
"Then the official is not welcome?" Li Zhuo smiled, his expression did not mean to be half annoying.
"Is that natural?natural?" Yang Yifeng and the others hurriedly echoed.
Everyone didn't dare to talk more because of Li Zhuo's arrival, at this time, Liu Wenjie on the side glanced at Yang Zheng, a trace of resentment flashed quickly in his eyes, and while people were not paying attention, he walked up to Yang Yifeng, pulled gently, and said in a low voice: "Young Master Yang, test questions-?"
As soon as he heard the test questions, Yang Yifeng suddenly realized, glanced at the Peng family's location, a sneer in his eyes, stepped forward and hugged his fist at Li Zhuoyi and said, "My lord-?"
Li Zhuo was carefully checking how many businessmen had come to the main hall, and suddenly saw Yang Yifeng stepping forward, with a little displeasure in his eyes, and asked, "Young Master of the Yang family, this is-?"
Yang Yifeng didn't notice Li Zhuo's displeasure, gritted his teeth and said: "Today's adult can come to the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, it is really a great blessing for my Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hangzhou is a prosperous place, in addition to the national policy of agriculture, businessmen also occupy an extremely important position in Hangzhou, as the county commander of Hangzhou, Li Zhuo also attaches great importance to the commercial development of Hangzhou, the annual battle of the Chamber of Commerce, no matter how busy he is on official business, will come to the scene to take a look, but it is just to see, understand, understand, and do not participate, so when I heard Li Zhuo's words, I was slightly flustered, and said with a smile: "This is not very good?"
Yang Yifeng thought about his three competitions, so he naturally wouldn't let go of Li Zhuo, and then said that the dignified county order personally made the question, hehe, even if others have some opinions, they won't say anything, and for the three test questions, the businessman who didn't know thought that it was the county order himself, and let Li Zhuo ask the question, which would be harmless for the Yang family to seize the president of the Chamber of Commerce this time.
"The adult is a talented man who everyone admires, and is an official of the imperial court, although we are businessmen, but also the people under the rule of the adult, today's chamber of commerce war, related to the commercial development of Hangzhou, if the adult can personally come up with the question, first, can let those opportunistic people, stop there, second, the adult can learn from me and others to admire, the adult personally came up with the question, but also can show the battle of the chamber of commerce, fair and just!
Thousands of clothes are not worn, although Li Zhuo has a reputation for being honest, but he has always claimed to be a talented man, Yang Yifeng has learned from the left sentence, and he has learned from the right sentence, which makes Li Zhuo very useful in his heart, nodded and said: "What Yang Gongzi said also has some truth!"
Yang Yifeng was overjoyed and said, "Please also ask the adults to come up with the first question for my chamber of commerce?"
There are a lot of businessmen who rely on the Yang family to live on weekdays, and seeing the Yang family like this, can they still care, and they all hugged their fists and said: "Please ask the county lord to come up with the first question?"
Li Zhuo smiled, nodded with great satisfaction, and said, "That is the case, but the official is disrespectful?"
Yang Yifeng and Liu Wenjie each glanced at each other, nodded and said, "My lord is too modest?"
Li Zhuo nodded, glanced at the surging talents of various merchants, closed his eyes and muttered for a moment, then opened his eyes and said, "Is there a requirement for this test question?"
Yang Yifeng said: "Don't hide it, the battle of our chamber of commerce has been for many years, and the annual competition is not poetry and songs, calligraphy and painting, many talents in addition to giving elegance, there is no half benefit to the chamber of commerce, therefore, the grass people are courageous, this year and the merchants discussed, no longer to poetry and songs, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting as the theme, set up three piano and chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and song other than the test questions, so that you can compete fairly, but also can the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce really useful competition?"
"Oh" Li Zhuo nodded, a little interested, and said with a smile: "In this way, this first question is particularly important?"
Yang Yifeng said: "Exactly, Hangzhou is a prosperous place, businessmen such as clouds, after years of development, I Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce has the initial dozens, the evolution has now dozens, each family has cultivated a lot of talents, if according to the ordinary competition, I am afraid that it is a few days, more than ten days can not be finished, therefore, the grass people and all the businessmen discussed, this first question must be the most difficult test question, only through the first question of the talented people, can enter the last three test questions of the competition, so as to select the real Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce beneficial business!
Yang Yifeng had already been prepared, and what he said in an orderly manner was that even those businessmen who didn't understand also nodded secretly.
"This Yang Yifeng is not a hollow radish, how much ability does he have? It is really rare to come up with such a good show to deal with the Peng family?"
"That's natural, much better than some big carrots?" The eldest lady on the side pulled a pretty face, looking like I didn't know you.
"Men are all lustful people, and when they see beautiful girls, their parents don't want them-?"
Yang Zheng couldn't cry or laugh a little, and he couldn't say anything, coughed twice, and said, "This, this, is a man his true colors?"
"Shameless!" the eldest lady glared at him fiercely and threw out such a sentence. Wang Rong, who heard the laughter on the side, couldn't stop laughing, and the pair on her chest was soft, which almost didn't let Yang Zheng give full play to the ability of a man's true "color".
After thinking for a while, Li Zhuo nodded and said, "In this case, this first test question needs to be considered by the official?"
Yang Yifeng bowed and saluted, "It should be, it should be!"
Li Zhuo's talent is true, but his talent is still within the eight characters of poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, let him put aside these eight characters to come up with the question, but it makes him a little embarrassed?"
After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't get it, and seeing that everyone in the businessmen was looking at him, he made him admit that he couldn't solve this question, and he couldn't save face.
At this moment, a scholar in a gray robe who had been standing behind Li Zhuo and looked like a poor and talented man stepped forward, gently pulled Li Zhuo's official robe, and called in a low voice: "My lord-?"
This poor scholar is Li Zhuo's master, named Zhong Guan, although there is an official word in the name, but has not been related to the official, he has taken the imperial examination nine times, and has never been selected, when he was poor and destitute, he met Li Zhuo, Li Zhuo appreciated his talent, so he left it in the county government and made a master for himself. Because of this appreciation and knowledge, Zhong Guan was quite loyal to Li Zhuo, and seeing that he was embarrassed, he couldn't help but shout softly.
Zhong Guan's talent, Li Zhuo knew it, otherwise he would not have taken a fancy to him at the beginning, at this time, seeing him pull his sleeve, he immediately understood, walked to the side, and said in a low voice: "Master Zhong, do you have a plan?"
Zhong Guanren has some other hobbies in addition to finally poetry and songs, and among the many hobbies, he is extremely interested in ancient arithmetic, and he also dabbles in many things on weekdays.
"Well, there is a test question for the humble position, which is neither in poetry and songs, nor in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and adults can just use it?"
Li Zhuo was overjoyed and said, "Seriously!"
Zhong Guan nodded and said: "I like arithmetic on weekdays, and some time ago, I saw an interesting test question from "Zhang Qiu Jian Sutra", this test question is not in the poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it is still a little good with this businessman?"
Li Zhuozheng was worried that he couldn't find the test questions, and since there were such well-behaved test questions, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Hurry up?"
Zhong Guan said: "This test question is called "100 Yuan Question!"
Li Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Businessmen value profit and ignore parting, this money word is a bit appropriate to the businessmen of the Chamber of Commerce, I don't know what the specific test questions are?"
Zhong Guan seemed to have studied this test question a little, reached out and brushed the long beard under his chin and smiled: "Don't worry, adults, if you want to know this test question, please listen to me speak slowly, otherwise adults don't know how to ask the question for a while?"
Li Zhuo was taken aback and said, "This test question is so difficult?"
