Chapter 163: Dragon and Tiger

"This tea is better than the one in the palace."

The middle-aged man sitting on the windowsill took a sip of tea and commented.

"Your Majesty...... Zhanglang, why can you taste it? I can't taste it. ”

The woman beside him smiled lightly, with some admiration in her beautiful eyes, and some true gestures.

If it was another concubine in the palace, she might be shocked and ask who dared to deceive His Majesty or something, and then ask for guilt in fear.

But she is different, she has both the purity of a girl and the charm of a woman. There is not only the coquettishness of a girl, but also the thoughtfulness of a woman.

At this time, her answer made Zhou Zhang feel better.

Looked at by the beautiful woman with such adoring eyes, Zhou Zhang smiled faintly and said: "First, the tea in the palace does not seek the best, but only the most stable; Second, I ...... I've cut a lot of dollars over the years, and I haven't had new tea in the palace for two years. ”

At this time, he was outside the palace, and he originally planned to stop worrying about these things for the time being.

But in the end, he sighed and said, "A pot of tea, from Hangzhou to the capital, how much does it cost?" If one service a year is changed to one service every three years, a lot of silver can be saved, and how much food rations will be for the people? But I understand this, but those people don't understand it......"

Chen Yuanyuan didn't ask who those people were, she silently listened to him complain for a while, and then put her hand on Zhou Zhang's hand with her heart.

"Zhanglang, since we are outside, people can do this, right?" She asked.

Zhou Zhang nodded and said with a smile: "Why not." ”

His other hand patted hers and sighed, "I know you're trying to soothe me, but...... I still haven't been able to manage this well. ”

Chen Yuanyuan said: "I don't understand those court things." But in fact, Zhanglang is my benefactor. ”

"Huh?"

"In the fifth year of Yanguang, the great water in the south of the Yangtze River, if you hadn't reduced the taxes, I would have been sold by my aunt at that time." Chen Yuanyuan lowered his head, revealing a white neck, and said in a low voice: "I only know that you are my eternal monarch and my true son." ”

Zhou Zhang was greatly relieved.

The depression of the past few days has also dissipated a lot.

He looked out the window, and downstairs was a bustling street lice... Just looking at this capital, it seems that it is still prosperous.

The four words of Mingjun through the ages were in his ears, and he still added a little bit of self-satisfaction to his heart.

The wind and the sun are beautiful, the beauties are on the side, drinking tea and talking, and they have a leisurely taste.

"The mountains and rivers are empty, and the falling flowers and wind and rain hurt the spring even more. It's better to take pity on the people in front of you. Zhou Zhang stroked Chen Yuanyuan's hand and chanted.

Chen Yuanyuan bowed his head shyly.

Zhou Zhang suddenly felt that if he was not a son, but just an ordinary rich son, he would be much happier in life, leisurely, elegant, and prosperous.

Naturally, he wouldn't know that the rich son also had the worries of the rich son. For example, Wang Zhen sighed that he spent his life and could not display his ambitions; Like Wang Zhu, the beloved is separated from life and death, filled with grief and hatred, and it is difficult to let go of his life.

The world is like a cloud, and everyone has his own suffering, and everyone has his own calamity.

After a while, Zhou Zhang raised the teacup, but saw the wrinkles on his forehead faintly reflected in the tea.

He looked at Chen Yuanyuan beside him, and the spring was just right.

I want to pity the person in front of me, but I am also old.

In this life, how much is in its prime, and it is spent in those state affairs!

"If you want to buy osmanthus and carry wine, it will not be the same, and you will travel as a teenager." He looked out the window and sighed, "Old, old." ”

Chen Yuanyuan said shamefully: "Zhang Lang deals with state affairs every day, but he still ...... with others every night In the middle of the night, the dragon is fierce, where is the old age? ”

Zhou Zhang was stunned.

Chen Yuanyuan's face was even more flushed, and he said in a low voice: "People make up for sleep in vain, and they still feel tired. Zhanglang is in good spirits. ”

Zhou Zhang thought for a moment.

It's true.

"Hahaha!"

He couldn't help laughing, only to feel high-spirited!

Turning his head to look at Chen Yuanyuan again, Zhou Zhang only felt more pity in his heart.

He knows his own family affairs, he is no longer as lustful as a teenager when he lives to this age, and he occasionally plays with Xu Guifei once in the past, and he is a little tired the next day.

And this time for a while, he sang songs every night, and the next day was the same spirit as a full night's sleep, presumably because Chen Yuanyuan's physique was different......

But he is indeed a treasure knife before he is old! Hahaha......

When Wang Xiao walked to the second floor of the tea room, he heard such a long list of hahaha.

He was speechless.

This Your Majesty, just coming out for a trip, do you need to be so happy?!

Thinking about his plan to go home and sleep, he couldn't help but yawn.

followed Wang Fang to Zhou Zhang.

"Your Majesty'......"

Zhou Zhang stretched out his hand and waved.

Wang Xiao had to change his name

"Uncle...... Uncle. ”

Speaking of which, there is nothing wrong with calling the old man uncle.

Zhou Zhang glanced at Wang Xiao and reprimanded: "Young man, why are you so unenergetic?!" ”

Wang Xiao didn't expect to be reprimanded like this when they first met.

He resisted the urge to yawn, a little confused.

The two looked at each other.

Wang Xiaoxin said: These days, I am busy with people's livelihood affairs, and I have to be fierce at night, and I haven't slept for an hour, and now I am in good spirits.

Zhou Zhangxin said: These days, I am busy with people's livelihood affairs, and I have to be fierce at night, and I haven't slept for an hour, and I am still so energetic.

The prospective father-in-law and the prospective son-in-law were a little proud in their hearts.

It's a pity that you can't talk to each other in this way, which is a bit regrettable.

Wang smiled and said: "Didn't the locusts fly to the capital in the first few days, I have some crops on the outskirts of Beijing, and I have gone over to see them." ”

Zhou Zhangben was investigating the people's livelihood, and asked casually: "Your Wang family is a winemaker, but you have grown grain?" Is the loss big? ”

Wang smiled: "I didn't take care of the family's business, I grew some sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and peanuts by myself. Not long after planting, some of the ones that had just sprouted were bitten a little, and the loss was not too big. ”

At this point, he took this opportunity to introduce: "Uncle, do you know? My crops can yield thousands of catties per mu. ”

After that, Wang Xiao's eyes looked at Zhou Zhang.

He thought that Zhou Zhang would be shocked, and then asked questions, such as Liu Bang seeing Zhang Liang and Liu Bei seeing Zhuge .

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhang just nodded calmly, and said casually: "The child's family, don't be deceived." ”

Wang Xiao was a little speechless.

Zhou Zhang said lightly: "But it is also a good thing that you have this heart of farming." ”

"Uncle, it's really a thousand catties per mu!"

"Oh, Wang Fang, this son doesn't serve the farmland, and he has no knowledge. You come and tell him. Zhou Zhang was too lazy to talk to him more, and said to Wang Fang.

Wang Fang smiled at Wang in a low voice: "Do you know how much grain can be produced in one acre of fertile land?" ”

Without waiting for Wang Xiao to answer, he stretched out three fingers: "The sum of summer wheat and autumn millet is only two to three stones per mu, which is folded into three hundred catties." Are you a thousand pounds of money per mu? ”
