The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. I think there are a lot of mediocre people in this shopkeeper. There are also a lot of people who have a smooth tone. And he had compassion. I said to the shopkeeper, "Zhang's shopkeeper. I'm Lang Lan Yunjie. I ask you. If I were to take down this restaurant. Could you please continue to be the shopkeeper here? I won't lose your wages. And don't let these guys quit here. What do you think?"

Listen to what I say. He replied happily: "If you don't dislike it. The villain went on. It's just that what if the skin comes again."

"I have a way to do this. Do you know the name of that pimp and what official position he holds in his family?"

"Listen to the man himself. Let's call him Li Sangongzi. Because I just moved in. I really don't know what his identity is in the family."

"This official has his own way. You count the amount of silver. I'm going to talk to my friends. I'll bring you money tomorrow. By the way, I will go to the government office to change it."

"Thank you, sir. Silver. I wouldn't ask for a lot either. Even the house with the contents of the house. What do you think of five hundred taels of silver?"

As soon as I heard that this number was really not expensive, I agreed... But I made a request. I just can't tell anyone that I contacted him. I want the second senior brother to take over here. Usually close to me. It's good to have a response. You can also find out the news for me. As for earning money or not. That's all trifles.

The shopkeeper because the restaurant has already shot. Rarely happy. said, "My lord, you can order food. Today is a villain who pays the bill. You can eat whatever you want."

"You can 'get' four of your good dishes here. Don't do it more. If there is more, the two of us will also be 'wasted' fees."

The shopkeeper goes down. After a while, four dishes came up. It's all good dishes. Liu Lianjiang and I finished eating. The shopkeeper gave him four more fruit bowls. Even the few grapefruits in the capital have 'gotten' one. It seems that this shopkeeper is really 'excited' me. I'm glad too. Got it done. Also went to a piece of heart disease. If only Master Ran wrote a letter asking Senior Brother to send someone to help me. There will be no fewer people who will come. Maybe the third senior brother and the fourth senior brother will come over. Plus those apprentices. There should always be a place to arrange. Now there is no other place. This is the place to be. I can inform them of anything while I have dinner.

Out of the restaurant, Liu Lianjiang asked me: "Young master. We're really opening a restaurant."

"yes. Say no more. I bought this restaurant. Don't say it. As long as your father knows. Those little eunuchs are determined not to let them know."

"Young master, I know. I won't ask anymore. We'll go there in the afternoon."

"Go home. Tomorrow I will go to Master Zhang's mansion to apprentice. Go back and pack up this afternoon. Let's see how your father's gift goes. This is the second most important thing after marriage. Can't be sloppy."

Let's go back to 'Jade' Horse Lane. Lao Liu hasn't come back yet. It wasn't until it was almost dinner that I came back with a big bag of things.

"Young Master, how about you look at these. I've run half of the capital." As he spoke, he placed the package on the table and opened it.

I picked up a few and looked at them. It's all superb. I asked Lao Liu, "Brother Liu. Why have you been here for so long?"

"Young Master. This inkstone is not easy to buy. I ran several of them and they were fakes. In the end, I went to the pawnshop and found these two. It's really out of stock." Lao Liu wiped his sweat as he spoke.

"Okay, Brother Liu. You go and rest first. In a moment it's time for us to eat. After dinner, I have to arrange to go to the teacher tomorrow. You go to Zhang's house. Ask his butler. What else is needed. Someone is going tomorrow. We're well prepared. Take some silver with you when you go. Throw it down to the butler. It's better to go back later."

"The young master still wants to give silver. Every time you go out, you have to give silver. Don't send us to poverty."

"Brother Liu, how can he be empty-handed now. Don't be afraid to 'spend' money. You just do what I say."

Eaten. After sending Lao Liu away. I went to the study. Let's see what else I can give to Zhang Juzheng. I'm afraid these things alone won't hold his eyelids. I looked and saw that there was nothing good in the study. I was about to open a secret passage and go down. Just opened. And behold, there was a man standing below. The lights in the secret passages are also on.

A man stands in the secret room below. There were also a few people on the side carrying things. Look at me opening the secret passage. The man looked back. I'll take a look. It's my cheap dad.

I quickly closed the door of the secret passage and followed the steps to the bottom. First give the cheap dad luggage: "Why is my father here. Don't let me know either."

"It's fine. I'm going to put something. I know you have the eyes and ears sent by the emperor now. If you can't go up, you won't go up. Do you have anything to do next?"

"Father is like this. Tomorrow I will go to worship Zhang Juzheng as a teacher. Didn't I prepare something for Yu Wei? I took a look. Something is a little missing. Besides, it's worthless. I'm afraid that Zhang Juzheng won't be able to look down on it. So I wanted to come down and see what else was rare and sent to him along."

"It's a good thing. I know that too. It should be a little heavier than a gift. Let's go with you and I to the place where the paintings and calligraphy are kept. After all, he is a reader. Love these things. Give him silver and gold. He didn't dare to ask for it. I'm sure I'll be going to a lot of ceremonies tomorrow. Just send a calligraphy and painting. I remember the character of Vice Wang Xizhi here. Give it to him."

Follow the cheap dad to the house where the calligraphy and paintings are placed. Cheap dad rummaged inside for a while. Take out a scroll. Open it and take a look. It's really Wang Xizhi's words.

"Father, this should be worth a lot of money. It's a pity to give him a lot."

"yes. Now it's worth 10,000 taels of silver. But I can't help but let the child trap the wolf. You still have to pay when you have to pay. This is also temporarily placed there for the time being. Wait until we have mastered the court. It's not all ours."

"Father, this gift is too valuable. If you go to the ceremony, you won't think. I'm a petty officer. There's no such thing as a prominent family background."

"You. The head is stupid. You won't give it to him alone. If only someone else were there. You say it's a fake. Found in a pawnshop. I know that he likes calligraphy and painting. So I bought it. It's to see if it's true. Who would dare to say anything else."

Cheap dad is indeed an old fox. My brain is spinning much faster than I am. I asked again, "Father. What are you putting in here?"

"This is the gunpowder I bought from the Shenji Camp. We'll use it in the future."

I looked at the big boxes. The big men standing by the box were all 'blinded'. Looks like this cheap dad is still guarding against me. These people are probably his descendants. I'm afraid it's rarely known.

"Okay, you go up and get it. If they can't find you, you're in trouble. It's time for me to go, too. If there is something, let Chen Lao Er inform me. Now you have to be careful. These eunuchs are all good."

"Father, you've seen them." I asked, with a puzzled look on my face.

"I haven't seen it. But I sent someone to follow you and see the way they walked. It's all kung fu. You think the emperor will send some mediocre people to follow you. So. You'll have to make it easier in the future. You can't show your feet."

"Father rest assured. The child must obey his father's commandment. Do things carefully. Don't show your feet."

"Alright. You go up. I'll have to wait a little longer before I go."

I went back to the study. Put the slip on the table. Just thinking about it. What does this cheap daddy mean by putting explosives here. Did you find me something? Put the dynamite under my house. If I'm disobedient. He hasn't been blown up yet.

It doesn't help to think about it too much. It's better to deal with tomorrow's apprenticeship ceremony first.

Early the next morning. I can't sleep because there's something on my mind. Got up early. I saw Liu Lianjiang practicing martial arts in the yard. A few little eunuchs watched from the sidelines. I called Liu Lianjiang over. Tell him, "You go to the inn. Tell my second senior brother Hua Tian. Which restaurant to let him go to.' Handed over the money. Tell him what I said yesterday. All you have to do is tell him the address. By the way, buy something to eat and come back, or these eunuchs will be suspicious."

Liu Lianjiang agreed and left the yard. I called Lao Liu over again. Let him go out and hire a few people to carry the gifts. If Liu Lianjiang and Lao Liu pick it up, it will look too shabby. It's better to hire a few people.

Had breakfast. I'm fully dressed. Lao Liu hired four people. Found two gift boxes. Let the two of them carry one. As for the copy, I put it in my bosom. so as not to be seen by more people when the time comes.

Several eunuchs carried a palanquin. Lao Liu's father and son followed me on horseback. Walk towards Zhang's house.

Arrived on the street of Zhang's house. I saw that there were a lot of sedan chairs parked on both sides. There are dozens of tops. It seems that there are a lot of people. We haven't reached the 'gate' yet. The housekeeper rushed over to pick us up. He saluted me first and said, "Lord Lan. The master asked me to come out and pick you up. The hour has not yet waited. When the drums are played, we'll go inside. Lan Daren will take it for a while. I'm going to inform my family. Then come out and pick you up."

"Then there's Big Brother Steward. We are waiting for you."

"Lord Lan is polite. We'll be a family from now on. Don't say the words of the two families. Then I'll go in and tell the master."

The butler went in and came out in a short time. Say to me, "Lord Lan. It's almost there. It's ready inside, too. Let's see if you're ready."

I took a look. Everything that should be prepared is ready. The notebook in his arms is still there. Nodding. Kind of answered him.

After a while, drums sounded in the courtyard. The housekeeper took me. A few hired men carry gifts. Lao Liu's father and son followed me and walked towards Zhang's mansion.

When I got to the house, two more family members came to pick me up. The family members are all dressed in new clothes. There is also a smile on his face, and he doesn't know what benefits Zhang Juzheng has given them. I apprentice to them what they are happy about. There are also four more family members on both sides of the big 'gate'. The guests who came to watch the ceremony next. And arrange for the family members who come with me. Looks like this is going on today. Zhang Juzheng has already arranged it.
