Whisper......

Even if Zhu Ying was generous, she still couldn't help but look around suddenly, for fear that someone was eavesdropping in the shadows, and when she turned around, her face was slightly red, and she said angrily: "If there are words that are not suitable for others to listen to, you won't tell me first when you are in Qing'an Hall?" In such an open-air place, God knows if anyone will listen to it. ”

"How so? It's in your house. Zhang Shou said this sentence in a natural tone, and then told him what he was doing in Listening to Yu Xiaozhu today. Although he is convinced that Zhu Ying will not have any misunderstandings because of the gossip of others, but some things can be explained clearly immediately, so don't delay, otherwise there will be no need to cause any estrangement in the future.

Sure enough, when he finished speaking, Zhu Ying smiled with crooked eyebrows: "I knew that you would definitely be different from others when you went there!" When I saw you upstairs today, that guy from Yongping heard you say that you went to listen to Yu Xiaozhu, and sneered at me to see my jokes, but I choked back in a few words! You have always been honest and frank, and you have never deceived me! ”

Belch...... Actually, I'm not that honest, I can be honest about this matter, but there are still secrets......

Zhang Shou felt that Zhu Ying's trust was really a bit heavy, and after a moment of silence, he asked with a smile: "Then what are the results of your boudoir tea party in Yangzhou Teahouse today?" ”

Zhu Ying did not have much objection to the statement of the boudoir tea party, and even raised her eyebrows happily: "Of course there is!" Today they all saw you, except for Yongping, who was uneasy and kind, everyone else said that you have a good look, a good personality, a good voice, everything, and they all said that I am blessed and have vision! ”

Zhang Shou suddenly laughed. However, after being with Zhu Ying for a long time, the thickness of his face has also increased beyond the limit, and he asked casually at the moment: "This can only be regarded as your windfall, right?" What was you supposed to do? ”

"Well...... It's a long time coming. Zhu Ying's eyes were fluttering at first, but when she saw Zhang Shou looking at her directly, she smiled and said, "Of course I won't forget!" I can tell you ......."

She looked around again for a moment, her voice was extremely low, and she quietly told Zhang Shou about Princess Deyang's evaluation of Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu. Seeing him frowning slightly thoughtfully, she couldn't help but want to reach out and smooth out the small mark, and her eyes couldn't help but feel a little strange. It wasn't until Zhang Shou coughed that she came back to her senses, and quickly withdrew her somewhat too direct gaze and moved to the black shadow on the side.

"We're almost done doing this. You might as well go and meet the emperor and talk about half-truths and half-truths. Zhang Shou never mentioned that Zhang Chen had shouted that he wanted to marry Princess Yongping, and said calmly, "Didn't you say that the marriage of the eldest princess of Qingning was pleaded by herself to the emperor, and the person is also favored by her and the emperor, so why not do it again?" ”

"The emperor hopes that the prince will marry a well-informed wife, and at the same time hopes that the future daughter-in-law's family will not be too ambitious; I hope that the princess will marry someone who knows the roots, and the future son-in-law can have the grace and generosity of a high-ranking son...... These rumors in the Heavenly Palace have been spread all over the outside. ”

When Zhang Shou said this, seeing Zhu Ying looking up at him again, his eyes flickered for a while, and finally nodded heavily, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and immediately took a step closer and said in a low voice: "After all, the matter involves the princess, which is different from the previous emperor promised you to let you help people match." As for today, it's just that you pulled her and the others to relax. ”

Betraying Lu Sanlang, Zhu Ying has no burden, and betraying other noble children who want to get a good family affair, Zhu Ying also has no burden, but betraying Princess Deyang, who has always been cautious, she is a little hesitant. At this time, hearing Zhang Shou's face-to-face teaching, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Zhang Shou wanted to make today a genuine street encounter.

Think about it along this line, Zhang Shou admitted on the street that he went to listen to Yu Xiaozhu, did he also want outsiders to think that they were not agreed? Which fiancé would let his fiancée know that he was impatient to go to that kind of land of wind and moon in broad daylight......

Thinking so in her heart, the expression on her face softened a little, and she nodded again: "Okay, listen to you." ”

This kind of well-behaved answer, in the past, even if it was Mrs. Tai, or Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing, it was difficult to expect to hear it from Miss Zhu's mouth, but at this time, Zhang Shou easily heard it. And he didn't realize how difficult this kind of achievement was at all, and now he smiled and listened to Zhu Ying talk about the little thing about today's boudoir tea party, which reminded her that it was already very late.

Out of the back door of Zhao Guogong's mansion, seeing Zhu Ying close the door in person after waving his hand, Zhang Shou walked a few steps along the somewhat dark back alley, and suddenly shouted: "Ah Liu, are you there?" ”

Such a straightforward question is also a simple and clear answer: "Yes." ”

Zhang Shou didn't ask if there were other people watching this kind of question when he was talking to Zhu Ying just now. After all, since Ah Liu is here, then a hypothetical situation cannot exist. Therefore, he said bluntly: "Tomorrow you go to the Sun family and the Zhang family and bring those three apprentices." At noon, find a quiet place near the Guozijian and wait for me. ”

Although the answer he got was just a simple hum, Zhang Shou knew that he would definitely be able to see people at noon tomorrow.

Although he didn't get enough sleep that night, when Zhang Shou returned to Guozijian the next day and continued to teach, he still maintained a good mental state. And this mental state was crushed in the second class of the basic class of arithmetic in the middle of the mountain. The reason is very simple, even the third prince and the fourth prince can easily recite the ninety-nine songs, and there are people who can't!

And the guy who won't...... It's a full eighteen years old!

At that moment, Zhang Shouzhen really experienced the painful feeling of the elementary school teacher when facing the scumbag. At that moment, he did not hesitate to throw the waste wood aside, starting with the simple four operations. As for the guy who couldn't recite the ninety-nine songs, he didn't hesitate to throw it to Zhang Chen, the chief of the fast. As for how Zhang Chen made people recite ninety-nine songs, he didn't care.

At noon on this day, Zhang Shou went to Jiuzhangtang and called Lu Sanlang to come to the university archway of Guozijian, but saw that Ah Liu was already waiting here. And Lu Sanlang didn't follow Zhang Shou into the carriage until he glanced at Ah Liu, who was driving, through the crack in the door, and asked in a low voice full of awe: "Little sir, there is no class in Jiuzhangtang in the afternoon?" ”

"Of course. It takes up the small meeting time at noon. ”

Although he had done to bring Carpenter Sun's black cloth sleeve to Zhang's family, at noon that day, there was no moth in the place that Ah Liu arranged for Zhang Shou and Lu Sanlang. It was a small teahouse in a secluded alley, so quiet that there were no customers. Of course, there was no one in the shopkeeper and the buddy either.

When Zhang Shou stepped into this room, he saw a dazzling array of more than a dozen bowls and plates in front of the three anxious apprentices, including everything from cold dishes to hot fried dim sum, and the hot dishes were also heated with a small charcoal stove, all of which were foods that could keep warm.

Sure enough, Lu Sanlang, who was following him, only glanced at it and shouted: "Isn't this the eighteen dishes that the Duke of Zhao is best at?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Shou to ask, the little fat man took the initiative to explain: "Eighteen hot and cold hearts, this is the most common trick used to feast guests in the Zhao Guogong Mansion in the past. When I had a good relationship with Zhu Er, I went to Zhu's house twice to eat, so I was very impressed. ”

Sun Carpenter's two apprentices, Guan Qiu didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and only asked why, while Zhao Si was bent on improving the carpenter's skills, and he didn't know anything about the dignitaries. And Luo Xiaoxiao, the apprentice of Blacksmith Zhang, who can almost be called a master, is also exquisite, but he is a bit simple.

Therefore, they had long been shocked by such pomp and circumstance, and they didn't hear Lu Saburo's off-strings at all.

Zhang Shou saw that Lu Sanlang didn't say a word, so he smiled and moved a stool out, and asked him to sit first, he was about to greet Ah Liuye and simply come over to eat, and when he looked back, the young man didn't know where he had gone, and no one answered after shouting. So, he could only shake his head helplessly, sat down by himself, and then nodded at the three of them.

"I've picked you up early in the morning, are you all hungry? Let's do it, while having lunch. ”

Although Ah Liu had just left them in this teahouse - and at the same time put down the table full of various dishes, but none of the three of them dared to move the chopsticks just now, at this time Zhang Shou said this, seeing that he took the initiative to eat, they hesitantly picked up the chopsticks. However, except for Guan Qiu, who soon began to let go of his stomach, the other two were always cautious.

And Zhang Shou was half-full first, then put down his chopsticks and said, "I asked you to come over, and I need you to make a few more difficult things for me." But because I am often in Guozijian, I will rent a small courtyard near Guozijian and buy the corresponding equipment. Of course, the carpenter needs simple tools for his work, but the blacksmith needs more specialized tools. ”

He paused for a moment, then said with a smile: "So, Ah Liu said that he has already found a blacksmith shop not far from Guozijian. Although the scale is not large, I usually play kitchen knives and farm tools and other things, but for what I want to do, it is basically enough for Xiao Luo to use it. When you are idle on weekdays, you can do something else and not waste your craft. ”

Lu Sanlang came with him today, originally because Zhang Shou brought him, and at this time he realized that this was the follow-up of the last time Zhang Shou asked him to invite craftsmen, and he came to the spirit at the moment, and said without hesitation: "Which blacksmith shop does Mr. Xiao fancy you?" I'm going to buy it! ”

Luo Xiaoxiao was simply amazed to the extreme. Even if he leaves the school, he will have to work for his master Zhang Blacksmith for a few years or even more than ten years, so that he can earn enough money to open his own shop. Nowadays, just because it is convenient for people to make things, they go directly to buy a blacksmith shop? He swallowed hard, and his heart couldn't help but be extremely excited.

And Zhang Shou did not answer Lu Sanlang's volunteer, but directly took out a drawing from his sleeve: "This is one of the things I want to do, and there are many similarities with things like rotary bed grinders, but I hope that it is not only driven by manpower, it is best to use water power or other external forces, I have drawn a few strokes casually, you can take a look at it first." ”
