After leaving the house, the time had passed.

Zhang Xiang took the little slave to take a leisurely stroll on the bank of the Laolong River.

The little slave's big eyes of worship blinked and blinked, and he never stopped from leaving the mansion to now, chattering beside him: "Donkey, you are really amazing, I didn't expect you to be able to study and do business, look at the Huang shopkeeper who was surprised just now, his eyes almost didn't fall out." ”

"This is all what my mother taught me before, and now I just happen to remember it." Zhang Xiang casually found a reason to prevaricate this little girl, lest she ask questions.

The little slave thought for a moment, and then laughed again: "That horse is also very powerful, this yellow shopkeeper has been in business for so many years, and he hasn't been impressed by the horse." ”

Zhang Xiang shook his head and said with a smile: "Little slave, these arithmetic are a kind of knowledge, Huang Shopkeeper has not learned it, I have learned it, I just took advantage of it." But on business, Huang shopkeeper is indeed very powerful, I just said some theoretical points, but just on paper, on practical operation, or an old businessman like him knows best, he has been doing cloth business for so many years, the way to Jiangnan is clear, if you let me do it now, I am confused. ”

"That yellow shopkeeper still admires the colt very much!" Although the little slave couldn't understand what he was saying, he could also hear that the colt was praising the yellow shopkeeper.

Zhang Xiang said: "Because I am talking about some details, these details, he has not found now, but with his business experience, he can quickly find out in the future, I will tell him now, he just has a psychological preparation in advance, can be prepared in advance, he admires me, I don't know, I just can see that after he listens to my words, he should be able to think carefully about these problems." ”

It's so hard to understand!

The little slave's little head was dizzy, and he couldn't understand it at all.

She didn't bother to think about it, and jumped up and down on the riverbank while walking and laughing: "It's so beautiful here, I've been in Pingzhou for so long, I've never been here, next time I must let the princess come over to take a look." ”

Looking at the happy little girl, Zhang Xiang was still in a good mood.

The two of them walked like this, and soon walked to the door of the house next to them.

He stopped and looked at the deserted doorway.

If it weren't for the last time I knew that there were people living in it, I really wouldn't have been able to see it from the outside.

Yang Li said that the mother of Kang Yu, the little son of Kangfu, lives here.

This Kangfu is also the loyal family given by the emperor.

He originally wanted to visit last time, but Yang Li stopped him.

After he returned, he didn't ask the princess these days.

Since she is the mother of the little prince of Kangfu, why doesn't she live in Kangfu, but wants to live in such a remote place?

With some doubts in his mind, he also went up and knocked on the door.

It was a long time before the door slowly opened.

A maid-like woman walked out, looked at him, and then bowed to him in silence.

Zhang Xiang hurriedly saluted: "Girl, in the next Zhang Mingheng, it is from the house next door, I heard that Mrs. Kang lives here, I specially want to come to visit Mrs. Kang, and ask the girl to report it." ”

"Childe, please wait a moment." The maid spoke, then turned and closed the door again.

The little slave also walked up: "Donkey, is there someone living here?" ”

Zhang Xiang said with a smile: "The mother of the little prince of Kangfu lives here, by the way, little slave, do you know this Kangfu?" ”

"The slave doesn't know." The little slave shook his head.

How could she, a maid, know this.

Soon, the door opened again, and the maid walked out and saluted him again: "Childe, Madame is physically inconvenient and it is not easy to see guests, Childe, please go back!" ”

"Inconvenience?" Zhang Xiang frowned.

He didn't believe this reason at all, if he was physically handicapped, how could this maid not know?

Then he should have been rejected just now.

In this way, it means that this Mrs. Kang does not want to meet guests.

Zhang Xiang was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Thank you, girl, for disturbing." ”

The door slammed shut.

Then the whole courtyard fell into silence again.

The little slave had a little temper on the side, and snorted: "What kind of person! It's rude. ”

Zhang Xiang patted her little head funny: "Okay, let's go, it's us who are rude, this visit, empty-handed, it's really impolite, remember to bring some gifts next time you come." ”

After sunset, Zhang Xiang and the little minion returned to Fuzhong.

Zhao Hanyan has already returned, and is instructing his subordinates to prepare a dinner.

Today's Zhao Hanyan doesn't feel so cold to Zhang Xiang.

Her smile is getting better and better, and she doesn't always have an unspeakable sadness in her eyes like when she first met.

It seems that she has also become accustomed to this kind of peaceful little day.

In any case, she is only 19 years old now, and she still has the immaturity of pretending to be mature, and she has a kind of happiness in her heart that she longs for as girls of the same age.

This quiet day added this joy to her life, and she gradually faded away from that pretend face.

Start living your own life.

In fact, after understanding the royal family of Nanchu, Zhang Xiang understood her attitude towards him at the beginning.

In addition to disliking him for one reason, another reason should also be worrying about the rest of his life.

The princess of Nanchu is quite pitiful, as a princess, she can only marry once in this life, whether it is a marriage or a marriage, or finding a husband by herself, she can only marry once in her life.

If the husband dies, he can only be widowed until he dies, and he cannot remarry.

This is also a system derived from the strong imperial power of Southern Chu.

As far as Zhang Xiang knows, the eldest princess now, the sister of Emperor Zhao Yan, died fifteen years ago, she moved to the deep palace to live alone, this residence is fifteen years, and she is depressed all day long, but Zhao Yan is free, and occasionally goes to accompany this imperial sister to talk and help her relieve her boredom.

There is also a princess Yongchang who is one year younger than Zhao Hanyan, who was married two years ago to a side clan of the Li family of the Hedong Road clan, Shang Jia's son, but only two months after marriage, this Shangjia child was killed by a military disaster on an official road to trade with the Northern Liao people, and died in a chaotic battle.

At that time, the princess Yongchang pleaded with her father Zhao Yan to return to the capital, but was sent down by Zhao Yan and could not return to Beijing for life.

Another month later, the Yongchang princess was found hanging in her room with a white silk tie, and at that time, the princess Yongchang was not yet eighteen years old.

A few days later, this side clan of the Hedong Road clan was ordered by Zhao Yan to be executed for the crime of inadequate protection of Princess Yongchang.

All in all, it is a dangerous job for a man in Nanchu to be a concubine, and the princess's selection of a concubine is also a technical job, and this is the end if she chooses not well.

At the beginning, Zhao Hanyan was probably worried that he would follow the old path of these princesses.

But gradually, she found that she was a lot luckier, not only was her colt not sick, nor was she stupid, but also found that her colt was quite capable through getting along these days! That's why I was happy in my heart.

During the dinner, Zhang Xiang briefly told her about the business partnership with Huang Ji Buzhuang these days.

He knew that perhaps the chief housekeeper Qian Ziang and the bookkeeper Du Boguang should have reported to the princess, but in terms of details, what he said should be clearer.

After Zhao Hanyan listened, he just said lightly: "I said, these business things are handed over to the colt, I won't ask anymore, what the colt wants to do, just do it himself, I believe the colt can do it well." ”

Zhang Xiang said with a smile: "Princess, don't worry, the location of the new workshop was lent to me by Yang Li, and if I make money in the future, I will give him some dividends every year, so that we can save a thousand taels." ”

Zhao Hanyan said: "In terms of silver, don't worry about the horses, when we got married, my father rewarded me with a lot of valuable gifts, and my mother also gave me a lot of jewelry and jewelry, I put them away, and I also moved back a lot of treasures from the princess's mansion in the capital. ”

Zhang Xiang said: "Doing business is to make money, not to pay money outside, there are many places to spend money in the future, and I will naturally save if I can save it." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiang suddenly said: "By the way, the new workshop over there of the old Longhe, the house next to it lives in the house of Mrs. Kang, the mother of Kang Yu, the little son of Kangfu, I heard Yang Li say that this Kang Mansion has a plaque of the loyal family given by His Majesty, originally as a neighbor, I wanted to visit, but when I went today, this Mrs. Kang seemed unwilling to see me, does the princess know about this Kang Mansion?" ”

"She?" Zhao Hanyan frowned slightly, then stretched, and nodded: "I know, if she doesn't want to see her, the concubine won't have to see her in the future, if Kang Xiaogongzi knows, his heart should not be happy." ”

"Why?" Zhang Xiang asked strangely.

Zhao Hanyan said calmly: "The Kang family is now the only man left in the Kang family, this matter is also related to the fall of Liangzhou a year ago, Kang Xiaogongzi's father Kang Qirui was originally Honglu Temple, and has three sons, Kang Chen, Kang Hui, Kang Yu, Kang Chen and Kang Hui are also in Honglu Temple. A year ago, after the fall of Liangzhou and the slaughter of the Northern Liao people, 100,000 troops were stationed outside the city of Liangzhou, your father General Zhang was nowhere to be found at that time, and the defense line of the Beilu Army was too long, because there was no command from your father, a plate of scattered sand, and it was difficult for the troops to gather and resist, and only 20,000 people led by the deputy general Li Yan confronted each other. The Northern Liao people threatened to send another 200,000 troops to the south in one fell swoop, at that time, because the news of Liangzhou being slaughtered had just reached the capital, the people were panicked, and heard the news that the Northern Liao people were going south, and it exploded in the court, and the father and emperor transferred the privy envoy Wen Bo who was guarding the east back, and went north to lead the Northern Foot Army, but the Wen privy envoy did not arrive in Liangzhou for a long time, and the 20,000 people led by Li Yan were quickly defeated by the Northern Liao, and seeing that the Northern Liao people were about to cross Chongguan, the father temporarily decided to send a mission to stabilize the Northern Liao people. ”

"At that time, many people did not dare to go, only Honglu Temple Qing Kang Qirui recommended himself, so he led the mission as a messenger to negotiate with the Northern Liao, Kang Chen and Kang Hui were worried about their father, they also followed, the envoy group in Hedong Road under the escort of five thousand soldiers, intercepted the North Liao people who went south in Chongguan, they went to the military camp of the Northern Liao people, and conducted negotiations for ten days, and there was no result, because ten days later, the heads of the 28 people of the envoy group were all hung outside the military camp of the Northern Liao."

"But because of this, the envoy group bought ten days for Southern Chu, and the envoy Wen Shufu gathered 200,000 troops from the northern foot to arrive and repelled the Northern Liao people outside Chongguan."

Zhang Xiang understood, and said slowly: "Therefore, Kang Qirui's father and son were all killed by the Northern Liao people because they were envoys, so Your Majesty gave the Zhongmen family." ”

Zhao Hanyan nodded: "Kang Qirui's father and son led the envoy group to drag the Northern Liao army for ten days, so that the Northern Liao people could not step through Chongguan, they sacrificed their lives for the country, they are the heroes of Southern Chu, and now there is only one male left in the entire Kang family, Kang Yu, who is no longer powerful and powerless, and his father will give this plaque to ensure that the only male bloodline of the Kang family can be continued." ”

Zhang Xiang was silent, he figured out something.

Zhao Hanyan looked at him and said: "The Kang family hates your father, and thinks that if it weren't for your father who lost Liangzhou, the Kang family would not have such a result, and the three fathers and sons of the Kang family would not die in vain, so now Mrs. Kang and Kang Xiaogongzi will also hold a grudge against you, Mrs. Kang doesn't see you today, and this is the reason why I think about it, you don't want to see her in the future, so as not to add trouble to yourself." ”

Zhang Xiang nodded.

It's just that after listening to Zhao Hanyan's words, a sense of sadness arose in his heart, and he was full of sneers.

His father kept the peace of Southern Chu for 17 years, but he was hated by so many people because of the loss of Liangzhou, and even saddled with the infamy of a traitor to the country.

Except for Su Shaoyuan and Yang Li, whom he had seen, no one doubted the strangeness of this matter.

No one remembers his merits, only his deeds.
