The living room of Zhang Zhiyuan's mansion.

After letting the housekeeper send Feng Xi away, Zhang Zhiyuan's expression was even more confused than Sun Ding'an.

In Zhang Zhiyuan's opinion, although Zhang Lingyang does not have the appearance of a bright gentleman, he didn't expect him to do this?

Zhang Zhiyuan's own daughters are all married, and the age of the young is not suitable, but he can't bear that Zhang Zhiyuan's brother's family has a woman of appropriate age!

The big family is a big family living together, and if there are elderly people in the family, it is impossible to mention the separation of the family.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiyuan encountered a similar problem as Sun Dingan.

But the difference is that Sun Dingan doesn't know which girl in his family should participate in the draft, while Zhang Zhiyuan doesn't want his daughter to participate.

In the court battle, the two different factions can be torn apart with open swords and guns, but the harem is different.

The battle in the harem has always been weird, and it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, which is much more dangerous than the court battle.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiyuan didn't want his daughter to enter the palace.

Besides, it's different from Sun Ding'an.

Sun Ding'an is a nobleman, and he must closely follow the steps of the emperor, once he is rejected by the emperor, the defeat of the family is also a matter of speed.

But Zhang Zhiyuan is different, Zhang Zhiyuan was born in the local gentry, and the family is very prosperous, even if Zhang Zhiyuan himself falls, the rest of the family can also be motivated.

Therefore, there is no need for Zhang Zhiyuan to sacrifice the happiness of his daughter in exchange for wealth for himself.

But just now Feng Xi had made the words of the holy decree clear, and Zhang Zhiyuan could only accept it if he didn't want to.

However, in his heart, Zhang Zhiyuan planned to secretly make his daughter lose the election.

"Come to think of it, the second brother and the third brother will agree with my idea." Secretly made up his mind in his heart, Zhang Zhiyuan asked people to call his second and third masters.

When the two brothers came over, Zhang Zhiyuan informed the two of them of his thoughts.

Second Master Zhang said: "What the eldest brother said is reasonable, our family is a scholarly family, and there is no need to sacrifice his daughter to seek benefits. ”

Master Zhang San also nodded yes.

Seeing that both of them agreed with their ideas, Zhang Zhiyuan said: "Since this is the case, then after half a year, several girls in the family will still participate in the draft, second brother, if you go Feng Xi's way, you will definitely make a few girls lose at that time." ”

There are some things that Zhang Zhiyuan is not easy to do, so he will let his second brother, who has no official position and no position, do it.

After all, how can Zhang Zhiyuan also be the first assistant of the same dynasty, how could he do something to intercede with a eunuch?

When the will of the draft began to spread to all directions, chefs and celebrity chefs from all over the country rushed to the capital.

Chefs, whose status in this era is not high, are even included in the lower ninth-rate.

After all, Master Confucius once said that "a gentleman is far away from cooking".

Therefore, men who can cook are not only not popular in ancient times, but even looked down upon.

Therefore, when Zhang Lingyang's holy decree was transmitted to the locality, the chefs from all over the country were all excited, hurriedly packed up their things and rushed to the capital.

Because, once favored by the emperor's grandfather, the future is limitless, and it is even very likely to become the emperor's grandfather's imperial chef.

After all, under word of mouth, the emperor has always appeared in the minds of the people as an old man......

Xiao Fuzi hurriedly ran into the Qianqing Palace, bowed his waist and said to Zhang Lingyang: "Long live the restaurant, the restaurant you ordered the slaves to buy before, the slaves have already bought it, do you want to go and have a look?" ”

"How much money did it cost?" Zhang Lingyang asked.

"Back to Long Live Lord, this time the minions have acquired a total of four restaurants, totaling 630,000 taels of silver." Xiaofuzi replied.

"A ninth-rate family costs 160,000 taels of silver, but I didn't expect it to be so expensive?" After estimating, Zhang Lingyang was secretly surprised in his heart.

But then after thinking about it again, Zhang Lingyang was relieved. After all, it is not only the housing prices in the current society that are high, but also the housing prices in the developed cities of ancient times.

Otherwise, Bai Juyi's friends in the Tang Dynasty would not have sighed "Chang'anju, it's not easy".

What's more, it is still commercial land, and the location is in the most prosperous section of the capital, so the price is naturally much more outrageous.

In fact, what Zhang Lingyang didn't know was that Xiaofuzi used some means to finally succeed in getting these restaurants.

After all, who can afford to open a restaurant in the most prosperous section of the capital, who doesn't have a few noble ministers behind them?

said that since entering the palace, Zhang Lingyang has never stepped out of the palace gate, so at this moment, seeing Xiaofuzi say that he would let him go out of the palace to take a look, Zhang Lingyang was still very moved.

couldn't help but think about it, Zhang Lingyang entered the inner room, changed into a cloud-white regular dress under the service of the palace maid, and left the palace under the escort of Xiaofuzi and several guards......

Yongan Street can be said to be the most prosperous street in Beijing.

The pedestrians on the street are endless, and on both sides of the street, there are many hawkers' stalls, people come and go, and the sound of bargaining is endless, which is very lively.

Zhang Lingyang didn't have the heart to look at this, after all, he had been begging here for a while, and he was very familiar with this place.

When you come to the central area of Yongan Street, you will see a three-storey restaurant in front of you.

In the past, this restaurant was the most luxurious restaurant in the capital, and most of the people who entered and exited were dignitaries, but now, there were many people in front of the restaurant, and the sound of 'jingling' came from time to time.

Without going in, Zhang Lingyang knew that there were craftsmen inside who were decorating.

"Xiaofuzi, how much money did this restaurant cost?" Zhang Lingyang looked back at Xiao Fuzi and asked.

"Long live Hui......" Xiao Fuzi was just about to speak, but was stopped by Zhang Lingyang: "Remember, this is outside the palace, my pseudonym is Zhang Lingyang, you want to call me Young Master, can you remember clearly?" ”

Now that he is out of the palace, Zhang Lingyang naturally wants to change his appearance and use his real name back.

Otherwise, after a while, I am afraid that Zhang Lingyang himself will think that he is the real Zhao Chenxi.

"Little one understands, young master." Xiao Fuzi replied and continued, "Young master, this restaurant costs a total of 250,000 taels of silver, which is the most expensive of the four restaurants. ”

"Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, you can buy such a good place?" Obviously, Zhang Lingyang didn't believe Xiaofuzi's words.

Xiao Fuzi replied with a dry laugh: "If you go back to the young master, it is indeed 250,000 taels, mainly because the owner of this restaurant is the Anguo Mansion, and I saw that it was a slave who came to buy it, so it was sold so cheaply." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang was relieved.

The Anguo Mansion is the maiden home of the queen Wang's family. It is also logical to be able to sell it to Xiaofuzi at such a cheap price.

After all, as long as the people of the Anguo Mansion are not fools, they can guess who is standing behind Xiaofuzi?

What's more, although the Anguo Mansion is one of the three and four princes of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it can be compared with the Ningguo Mansion, which is simply different from the clouds.

The main reason is that the Anguo Mansion did not have a man who could not be supported, if it weren't for the fact that four years ago, the eldest lady of the Anguo Mansion was given marriage to the crown prince Zhao Chenxi by the emperor, I am afraid that the Anguo Mansion would have declined long ago.

Therefore, the Anguo Mansion will sell the restaurant to Xiaofuzi at such a low price.

Otherwise, even if it is 300,000 taels of silver, I am afraid that Xiaofuzi will not be able to buy such a good restaurant.
