Chapter 43: Trouble

In the Changwang Mansion, Zhao Gou was sitting in the courtyard drinking a drink, and two maids were standing next to him.

Zhang Heng walked over and saluted, and said, "Lord Wang, the interest is very good!" Drink alone under the moon, accompanied by beautiful women. ”

Zhao Gou motioned for him to sit down and said, "I called you here today because I have good news to tell you, the affairs of the newspaper have been completed, and you can start preparing for the affairs of the newspaper." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Heng couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "If this thing can be done, we have to thank the prince for his help, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth."

"I'm not helping in vain, after all, forty percent of the newspaper's income has to go to the imperial court, and I can drink your wine for free in the future."

Zhao Gou smiled and poured him a glass of wine.

"No matter what, as long as you can open the newspaper, it will be worth the effort."

Zhang Heng's heart that was hanging now was also put down.

Seeing that he was so happy, Zhao Gou said, "Is the newspaper really so important? ”

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "The newspaper is very important, it can cover many industries, you will know it later, Lord Wang." ”

Zhao Gou smiled and said: "Then I'll wait, by the way, there is one more thing to tell you, the imperial court sent a person to the newspaper to review the manuscript, which can be regarded as supervising the work of the newspaper, that person's name is Sun Mo, he is an old stubborn, difficult to entangle, you go and have a good relationship with him first, so as not to deliberately make things difficult for you when you get it." ”

"I'll visit him early tomorrow morning."

Zhang Heng nodded, although the newspaper can do it, but this series of things is enough to be busy.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Heng also said goodbye.

After returning home, Zhang Heng also took out the paper and began to write the plan prepared by the newspaper, and now the newspaper is mainly facing three problems, insufficient funds, insufficient personnel and the need for a printing workshop, and these problems are not solved in a while, and they must be improved step by step.

was busy until late at night, Zhang Heng wrote the plan, and then lay down on the bed to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Heng also got up early, then prepared some toothpaste, toothbrushes and a pot of liquor, and went out to visit Sun Mo, ready to have a good relationship with him.

Soon after, Zhang Heng came to Sun's Mansion and asked the gatekeeper to report it.

In the living room of Sun's Mansion, Sun Mo and a girl were eating breakfast, and they saw that the girl looked dignified and beautiful.

At this time, the servant came up and said to Sun Mo, "Master, there is a guest who asks to see you." ”

Sun Mo opened his mouth and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"It's a son named Zhang Heng."

The servant replied.

"Who is he?"

For this person, Sun Mo has never heard of it at all.

The servant said, "He is the head of the newspaper and wants to visit you today." ”

Sun Mo put down his chopsticks and said: "If you want to enter my door, you have to see if he has this ability, I have a couplet, he can come in if he is up, the white goose yellow has not yet been taken off, and I don't know how thick the sky is." ”

The servant immediately made a note and turned away.

The girl on the side opened her mouth and said: "Grandpa, this person has no grievances with you, why do you scold others for not knowing the height of the sky!" ”

"The little kid who hasn't grown up even the hair dares to pry King Chang to run a newspaper, but he doesn't know the harm of such behavior, this is not what the sky is high and the earth is thick."

Sun Mo is also angry now, if it weren't for Zhang Heng, he wouldn't be idle at home.

Looking at her grandfather's bearded and glaring looks, Sun Jingxiang knew that he was still angry about the idle thing, and Zhang Heng became the object of his venting.

After waiting at the door for a while, Zhang Heng watched the servant walk out, and was also about to go in with him.

But at this time, the servant said to him: "Zhang Gongzi, my master said that if you want to go in to see him, you must match the couplet." ”

"What couplet?"

Zhang Heng heard Zhao Chang say that this Sun Mo was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect to give him a dismount as soon as he came up today!

"Zhang Gongzi, please listen well, Shanglian is white goose yellow has not yet been taken off, and I don't know how thick the sky is."

The servant read out the couplet.

Zhang Heng also heard that Sun Mo was scolding him for not knowing the height of the sky, and he knew that it would not work for such a person to be patient, otherwise this Sun Mo would dare to ride on his neck to shit and pee in the future, so he immediately thought of a couplet and said: "The turtle shell has long been polished, and it can be regarded as a cunning man." ”

When the servant heard this couplet, he hurriedly said: "Zhang Gongzi, this couplet is not appropriate, you better change it!" ”

Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "No need to change it, that's it." ”

Seeing his firmness, the servant said nothing more, but turned and walked in.

In the living room, Sun Mo looked at the servants who came over and said, "Is he right?" If not, let him be more interesting! ”

"Master, he's right."

The servant was also very hesitant, not knowing whether to say or not to tell.

"Then you say! What are you doing. ”

Sun Mo urged.

The servant spoke, "His couplet is that the shell of the turtle has long been polished, and it can be regarded as cunning. ”

As soon as he heard this, Sun Mo immediately slapped the table and roared: "Presumptuous, disrespectful." ”

"Sir, that's not what I said."

The servant was also frightened and hurriedly stepped aside.

Sun Jingxiang next to her covered her mouth and laughed, and said, "Grandpa, this is your fault, if you can scold others, you won't allow others to scold you!" ”

Sun Mo glared at her and said, "You girl is now turning her elbow out, and she will be able to marry someone in the future." ”

"Grandpa, I don't help my relatives."

Sun Jingxiang smiled.

At this time, Sun Mo said to the servant, "Let him come in!" ”

The servant immediately turned around and called Zhang Heng in.

After Zhang Heng came in, he walked in front of Sun Mo, saluted, and said, "Elder Sun, the junior Zhang Heng came to visit, and I benefited a lot from Elder Sun's teaching just now!" ”

Sun Mo glanced at him, and said angrily: "Flim tongue, say it!" What are you looking for me for? ”

Zhang Heng put the gift he brought and said: "This time I just came to visit Sun Lao, and by the way, I just brought some gifts to Sun Lao." ”

"It's useless, you take these things back!"

Sun Mo directly refused.

"Old Sun, I brought you a bottle of wine, I hope you can like it."

Zhang Heng opened the wine bottle, and suddenly a rich aroma of wine wafted out.

After Sun Mo smelled this fragrance, he couldn't help but look over and swallowed his saliva.

After noticing this, Zhang Heng spoke again and said, "Old Sun, this is all a little careful, you can accept it!" ”

"My grandfather didn't take it, I took it, and I also liked to drink."

At this time, Sun Jingxiang put down the wine, she knew that her grandfather loved to drink this sip, but now she couldn't pull it off.

Sun Mo had no objection to this.
