Chapter 293: The Bold Zhang Renyao

Na Zhe continued: "The owner of the small hotel is a cripple, holding two crutches, slowly scalding two pots of rice wine, putting out a plate of broad beans, a plate of dried tofu, and three cut salted eggs, sitting on the bench at the door by himself, looking up at the sun that is about to set, but not looking at the three of them. ”

At this time, Zhang Renyao and Song Peng, who were fascinated by the hearing, heard a woman's voice coming: "Commander Song, why don't you go in?" Who is this gentleman? ”

Zhang Renyao and Song Peng looked back and saw Qin Wanlan standing at the door carrying a food box.

Song Peng hurriedly explained: "Qin Niangzi, when a certain family came, that gentleman was telling a story, so I didn't disturb him, and listened here for a while. Who knew that the gentleman's speech was so engaging, and we were fascinated before we knew it. ”

Qin Wanlan pursed her lips and smiled, as radiant as a hundred flowers blooming. Zhang Renyao nodded secretly in his heart, if he is really a woman with a beautiful and fragrant country, no wonder his son Zhang Yuanheng didn't think about tea and dinner for him, and competed with Na Zhe for her, making such a big fuss, it was indeed a disaster.

Qin Wanlan looked at Zhang Renyao and asked Song Peng again: "Commander Song, who is this gentleman?" ”

Song Peng felt a little embarrassed, and he said vaguely: "Yes, it's a colleague from the court, and I'm here to visit Han Shangshu." Qin Niangzi, you go in and report it, saying that Song Peng wants to see Han Shangshu. ”

Qin Wanlan nodded: "Please wait a while, the slave family will go in and report." ”

Qin Wanlan carried the food box into the courtyard, and Na Zhe in the house stopped telling the story when he heard the conversation outside. Picked up the tea bowl and took a few sips.

Qi Jiuniang was hearing Xing's head, and she was very unhappy with Na Zhe's behavior, and she hurriedly grabbed Na Zhe's ear.

"And then? Hurry up, I'm really anxious to die! ”

"Oops, you let go of me, my ears are going to fall off. is really a violent female man, you should let Cui Daoshu clean you up, as the saying goes, 'If you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house and uncover the tiles', which refers to you. ”

Han Xizai laughed, then stroked his beard and said, "Nazhe, the story you tell is quite interesting, the old man likes to listen to it very much, I don't know who wrote this story?" ”

Qin Wanlan pushed the door in, and seeing the pain of grinning teeth, Qi Jiuniang grabbed his ears unrelentingly, and couldn't help but shake his head:

"Childe, sister, why are you pinching it again? You have to come back a few times a day, and you guys are really not worrying. ”

Qi Jiuniang saw Qin Wanlan coming in, so she had to let go of Na Zhe and walked over to help Qin Qianlan carry the food box to the table.

Qin Wanlan said to Han Xizai: "Han Shangshu, there are two gentlemen outside who want to see you." One was a Song commander, and the other was about fifty years old, and the slave family didn't know him. ”

Han Xizai nodded: "Please let them in." ”

After Qin Wanlan went out, she said respectfully, "Two of you, please come in." ”

Zhang Renyao stood with his legs a little numb and stepped into the courtyard. Song Peng saw that his steps were a little vain, and hurriedly supported him from behind.

Song Peng helped Zhang Renyao into the house, and Han Xizai was surprised to see Zhang Renyao.

He stood up and arched his hand and said, "Zhang Servant, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you still unable to hold back your legs?" ”

Zhang Renyao said with a smile: "Han Shangshu, the old man has been here a long time ago, and he has been listening to the book outside." Who knew that I was fascinated by the listening, and my legs were numb when I stood up. This gentleman is indeed a great talent! This "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", although the language is almost vernacular, is very attractive. I just don't know who the author is? Can you tell the old man? ”

Na Zhe also stood up, and Han Xizai said to him: "This is Mr. Zhang, the prime minister, come and pay tribute." ”

Seeing that the main lord came to the door, Na Zhe stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "Hello Mr. Zhang, please take a seat." Weak Lan, go to tea to entertain the two. ”

Qin Xiaolan and Qi Jiuniang agreed and went out to get busy.

Han Xizai asked Zhang Renyao and Song Peng to sit down, and Song Peng said to Han Xizai: "Han Shangshu, I still have a lot of things to do." ”

Han Xizai nodded: "You go and get busy." ”

Song Peng smiled at Na Zhe again, turned around and walked out of the room.

After Zhang Renyao sat down, he continued to ask: "Then sir, who is the author of this book?" ”

Na Zhe explained: "It is a country scholar named Jin Yong, who has been dead for many years. He left behind several manuscripts, which were obtained by our brothers. This "Legend of the Condor Heroes" is one of them. ”

Zhang Renyao asked again: "Sir, do you have a manuscript in your hand now?" Can you let the old man take a look? ”

Han Xizai smiled dumbly: "Haha, Zhang Servant shot, your bookworm has committed the problem again." ”

Zhang Renyao laughed at himself: "Hey, the old man has this hobby in his life, he loves books like his life, and when he encounters a lone book, he sees that he is happy to hunt, and this problem can't be changed." ”

Na Zhe replied: "Zhang Servant, I didn't bring the manuscript below, you must not be able to see it." ”

Zhang Renyao asked: "The old man is very familiar with you, are you a genius who will never forget?" ”

Na Zhe smiled: "I'm not a genius, it's this "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", I have read it no less than ten times, and I am familiar with the whole book, and I am about to memorize it." ”

Zhang Renyao suddenly realized: "I see! Sir, the old man is very interested in what you are told, can you finish the story? Otherwise, the old man's heart is itchy, and he will not think about tea and dinner when he goes back. ”

"Zhang Servant, this story is too long, you only hear one thousandth, even a few days and nights can't finish it! I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. ”

Zhang Renyao sighed and said: "Hey, the old man is a little strongman's difficulty, that sir, the old man wants to ask you to transfer the manuscript of this book to me, and you can pay as much as you want." ”

Na Zhe smiled and said: "Zhang Servant Shooting, this "Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be the cash cow of Quanjude in the future, and it cannot be transferred to you in the future." You also know that half of the hot scene in Quanjude is because of the delicious dishes in Quanjude, and the other half is because of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

I estimate that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will be finished in a few months, and if there is no new book to continue by then, the good situation of Quanjude will not be saved. And the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is even more exciting than "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and we still expect it to make us a lot of money, so I can't transfer it to you, sorry. ”

Zhang Renyao was a little stunned, he was a bookworm, and he would do everything possible to buy a good book. He also knew that Na Zhe would not give up "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but he couldn't give it up in his heart.

Seeing this, Han Xizai changed the subject: "Zhang Servant, you came to Qingliang Temple today, I'm afraid it's not for this book, right?" ”

Zhang Renyao came back to his senses, nodded and said:

"That's true, sir, the old man came today to turn the conflict into a jade silk and solve the contradiction between us. I agreed to the conditions proposed by Cui Daoshu Gongzi, and there was no problem at all. ”

Zhang Renyao took out some paper from his bosom and put it on the table.

"These are a list of some of my Pucheng Zhang's properties, and the estimate is definitely more than 500,000 guan, you can send someone to receive them immediately."

Na Zhe couldn't help but smack his tongue, this Zhang Renyao is really arrogant! The industry of 500,000 yuan was sent out without blinking. People are the absolute local tyrant style!

Na Zhe swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and his voice trembled a little: "Zhang Servant, you're not joking, are you?" You don't bargain either? Cui Daoshu said that as much as you want, you will give as much as you want? ”

Zhang Renyao stroked his beard and said lightly: "That sir, the old man has always been a man of his word, if you don't believe it, you can ask Han Shangshu." ”

Na Zhe looked at Han Xizai, saw him nodded solemnly and said: "That's true, although Lao Yu and Zhang Fuchu have different political views, they admire him very much. He is a true gentleman and never speaks. You can rest assured that he will never go back on what he promised. ”

Na Zhe looked at Zhang Renyao with some curiosity, and saw that this little old man was thin, but he had a breathtaking bearing. This is what Confucianism calls raising Haoran righteousness.

He asked cautiously: "Zhang Servant, you have amazing courage, and you are a gentleman who is worthy of his word." But that Zhang Yuanheng, is it really your son? Didn't you hold someone else's child when you were a child? The gap between your father and son is also too great. ”

Zhang Renyao's complexion changed, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and he said sadly: "Hey, don't hide it from the two of you, Zhang Yuanheng is my son, and he has not been valued by me since he was a child, and he has neglected to discipline him. When he grew up, the old man was so busy with things that he didn't have time to pay attention to him. And his mother doted on him very much and responded to his needs, which caused him to have a perverse temper. This time he caused a big disaster, and the old man was heartbroken.

But the old man introspects, and the responsibility is indeed a big part of the old man. The old man gave birth to him, but he did not fulfill his responsibilities as a father, did not pay attention to him, and did not cultivate him carefully. So the old man is responsible for this matter, your request is very reasonable, my Pucheng Zhang clan must have a clear explanation to the people of the world, and we can't ruin the reputation of our poetry heirloom because of a few unscrupulous children. ”

Han Xizai and Na Zhe were both in awe, Na Zhe stood up, saluted Zhang Renyao respectfully, and then said solemnly:

"Zhang Servant, we are not asking you for compensation, not for the sake of pleasure and squandering this money. Our brothers are here to collect more homeless people and orphans so that they can live as well as possible. We're going to spend that money on the homeless, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Zhang Renyao nodded: "That sir, I have sent someone to seriously investigate your Seven Seas Commercial Bank, as well as Cao Deshun, Liang Wei, and Wang Mingjun. You are indeed trying to collect the displaced people, feed them and clothe them. Then they were all loaded onto ships and shipped away. The old man was very curious, where did you transport all these people? ”

Na Zhe explained: "Don't hide it, our brother is now in the sea east of Wu Yue Kingdom, creating a foundation. There are many islands there, and where we have transported the displaced people, we have worked for the Seven Seas Merchants. ”
