Although the rented house is not small, after all, it seems a little crowded with more than ten people, but even so, Li Si insisted on sorting out a study, and his young master was a scholar.

Li Si is the son of the Qian family, and he has followed Qian Yuan since he was a child, but since this trip, he feels that his status has been seriously threatened, and it seems that the young master values Zhang San's rough embryo more, isn't it just that he can fight?

Walking into the study with a cup of tea, Li Si whispered to Qian Yuan, who was practicing calligraphy, "Young master, there is another fight outside." ”

Qian Yuan asked casually: "How many are there this time?" ”

"This time, the four of them brought down that guy." Li Si pouted, "Zhang San is also a soft-footed ......"

"And why this time?"

"It seems that Zhang San turned the fish over at lunch."

"Hmm." Qian Yuan responded casually, the white-faced man Yang Wen is from Taizhou, and he often takes the sea route, so it is normal to have this kind of taboo.

Li Si was a little frustrated, since he was injured last year, the young master's temperament has changed greatly, he originally talked a lot but now he talks less, and he is now graceful and generous...... No, it's just a lack of heart, and I was deceived by the Jin family for a few hundred taels of silver last time.

Qian Yuan's attention was still focused on the notebook on the table, for him, after fusing his memory, there was a lot of trouble, but the biggest trouble in reading was that he would often write simplified characters, so it would take a long time to practice calligraphy.

When he was in Yuyao some time ago, Sun Yan asked him very strangely, how can there be so many taboos in your family...... The ancients often lacked pens when they ran into the names of their elders when they wrote.

On the one hand, he practiced calligraphy, and on the other hand, he also wrote letters, and after drying it slightly, Qian Yuan put away the stationery, turned his head and asked, "Did the people who went to Yuyao come back?" ”

"Not yet." Li Si paused, "It should be back today." ”

"Then let him run again." Qian Yuan handed over the letter and asked Li Si to put it up.

Qian Yuan stayed in Yuyao for three days, during which he got along well with Sun Ling and Sun Yan, and later met with Sun Sheng, an old man who kept filial piety.

Although there are many taboos about keeping filial piety in the feudal era, in fact, most people will not stick to it, as long as they don't make trouble about giving birth to children during the mourning period, eating meat in private is a common thing, and Qian Yuan will occasionally fight tooth sacrifices.

But Sun Sheng rigidly abided by the ancient law, and did not touch the slightest bit of meat, resulting in physical damage, and Qian Yuan did not persuade him, but after arriving in Ningbo, he privately wrote a few prescriptions for dietary therapy and sent them to Sun Ling.

There's no way, Sun Kan has already hung up, Qian Yuan really hopes that Sun Jiquan, who is at least the right attendant of the ministry after the recovery, will be good, not only from the perspective of income, Sun Sheng's care for him makes Qian Yuan grateful, if it weren't for Sun Sheng's orders, where would Sun Ling and Sun Yan brothers be so polite.

It has been several months since he left Songjiang, and Qian Yuan was thinking about whether to write a letter to his family, when Zhang San's voice sounded outside the window. "Young master, Zhang Hanlin is here."

"What?" Qian Yuan was taken aback, "Zhang Juzheng? ”

"Yes, I came from Yuyao and came here directly."

Qian Yuan washed his hands in surprise and went to the front hall, and when he asked, he found out that Zhang Juzheng was late for a while before going to Yuyao Sun's house to worship, Sun Sheng was the master he could try, and he happened to collide with the subordinates sent to Yuyao by Qian Yuan, so he came straight to Ningbo to find the door.

"Uncle, big brother." Qian Yuan threw his sleeve robe behind his hand with a smile, "The Sun family has been in the spirit for seven days, you won't be the last day to go." ”

Zhang Juzheng was a little embarrassed, when he went out of the governor's yamen that day, he immediately figured out why Wang Chen forced Qian Yuan to take Wang Shimao to worship on his behalf, in this case, he naturally wanted to avoid it.

The two sat down and chatted for a few words, Li Si ordered someone to set the meal, Qian Yuan pouted and said, "Uncle and brother, the younger brother has come from Hangzhou to Ningbo, and they still can't hide." ”

Zhang Juzheng took a servant on this trip, set off from Yuyao in the morning, and walked around Ningbo City for a long time, and then came to find Qian Yuan at sunset, and it was clear that he was here to eat.

Although it was a temporary stop, Zhang Juzheng was still feasted on by a few dishes under the personal guidance of Qian Yuan, especially the pickled and fresh dishes, which were simmered for four hours with freshly marketed bamboo shoots, pork chops, and aged ham, and the soup was as white as milk, salty and delicious.

It's a pity that there are outsiders, Qian Yuan can only pick some bamboo shoots to eat, and Zhang Juzheng grabbed all the good things.

"What?" Qian Yuan frowned, "You want to go to Zhoushan Ligang?" ”

Zhang Juzheng, who was cleaning his hands, put down the towel and nodded, "I used to despise the merchants, but I have gained a lot in the past month or so, and the southeast is a gathering place for the merchants, one is Hangzhou, the other is Ningbo, and the most important location of the latter is Zhoushan Ligang." ”

Qian Yuan's brows furrowed more and more, is this a fool?

"Didn't you say you would leave for Beijing at the beginning of this month?"

"I have already written back to Beijing, and it will be too late to leave again at the end of April."

"The end of April?" The corners of Qian Yuan's mouth twitched, "Uncle brother, don't forget, there is a leap March this year." ”

"Yes, yes, I forgot, today is the second day of the third month of the leap month." Zhang Juzheng was stunned, "Then at the end of this month." ”

Qian Yuan was about to persuade again, when suddenly Zhang San walked over and whispered in his ear, "There is a letter in Hangzhou." ”

"Uncle and brother drink tea first." Qian Yuan's face tightened and nodded, and he turned around and went to the side hall.

This time he came to Ningbo, Qian Yuan left three people in Hangzhou, and secretly stared at Zhang Siwei, he didn't need to do anything, he just needed to confirm Zhang Siwei's whereabouts.

After taking the letter and glancing at it a few times, Qian Yuan slightly stuck out his tongue and licked his lips that were a little dry, "It's finally here......"

The letter only asked when Qian Yuan would return to his hometown, and Songjiang's family had already sent three letters in a row, but at the end of the letter, it was mentioned that Zhang Siwei had disappeared for three days, and Jin Hong was quite frightened.

Zhang Siwei was the person with the closest relationship with the maritime merchants among the middle-level generals of the Ming army, and the governor Wang Chen wanted to attack Wang Zhi, and he was destined not to use Zhang Siwei.

And how to deal with Zhang Siwei is the key to determining what Qian Yuan will do next.

It is impossible to kill directly, Wang Chen is a civil official, and it is impossible to be dispatched, Wang Chen is not so stupid, the biggest possibility is to temporarily detain to prevent leakage of news.

Qian Yuan pondered in his heart for a moment, he was sure that this battle was inevitable, but he was not sure if Zhang Siwei would be able to escape this turmoil...... However, Qian Yuan decided to give it a go.

"Is that house all normal?"

"Normal." Zhang San lowered his hands and stood solemnly, "There is no abnormality, and two hands were turned in the middle of the rent." ”

"Scatter people out tonight and keep an eye on them." Qian Yuan swallowed, "That one is still spending time drinking, right?" ”

"Yes." Zhang San hesitated: "Do you want to send someone to keep an eye on Yang Wen?" ”

"Leave him alone." Qian Yuan shook his head and walked out, suddenly paused, rubbed his head and sighed, how could he forget that there was Zhang Juzheng outside.

Zhang Siwei's disappearance shows that Wang Chen's raid on Ligang has been well arranged, and it is likely that it will be done in the next day or two, and Zhang Juzheng will go to Zhoushan at this time......
