The meeting with Zhang Han was in the study, which is naturally also the credit of Zhang Yin's letter, otherwise he would not even be able to enter the door as Zhang Han, let alone the study with the nature of a private meeting.

Zhang Han got up according to his words, and Deputy Envoy Zheng called him very affectionately, and after a few casual chats, he learned that Zhang Han was still a child, and Deputy Envoy Zheng twisted his beard and said: "Business can pass through the shortage of goods in the north and south, and it is also beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood, but in the end, studying is the right way, if you have the opportunity in the future, you still have to take the exam, so that you can really serve the country." ”

"Yes, the grass people think the same way, and they don't leave their books behind at home."

Zhang Han hasn't entered the study once since he crossed over, and it is estimated that it has been covered with dust, but Deputy Envoy Zheng can only brag to himself like this in person.

If it was an ordinary fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, seeing the red-robed civil officials, he would be very nervous, and even frightened, although Zhang Han showed a respectful look on his face from time to time, but the answer was not leaky, Deputy Envoy Zheng was originally just perfunctory, but at this time he really appreciated Zhang Han a little.

"I don't know if Xianqi has ever seen my teacher in person, do you know how he is doing, and his body is still strong?"

At this time, Zhang Han knew that Deputy Envoy Zheng was Zhang Ran's Xiucai when he was the magistrate of the county, although there were also teachings in the county, but there was no Xiucai who took the teachings as a teacher, the real teacher was the magistrate, and the deputy envoy Zheng was very taken care of by Zhang Ran, and he was very polite to Zhang Han after receiving this letter.

Zhang Han pondered for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: "The good teacher knows that the grass people have never seen their uncle, and there were many misunderstandings between my grandfather and my uncle. ”

"I see." Deputy Envoy Zheng nodded and said, "I have also heard about the past of the Zun family, and now it seems that it is not bad." ”

Saying that, Deputy Envoy Zheng sat at the table, wrote a letter with a pen, and did not close his mouth, and then called a person, turned his head to Zhang Han and said: "This is Ma Guohua, the steward of my house, I asked him to take this letter to find Lai Tongxin, and Xianqi will go with him." ”

"Yes, thank you, sir." Zhang Han said with a grateful face: "In the next three festivals, I will come to meet the boss." ”

"You and I have the same family background, it doesn't seem to have to be like this."

"The etiquette cannot be abolished, and the business is still acceptable, and there will be no trouble in the future."

Hearing this, Deputy Envoy Zheng pondered for a moment, and then pointed at Ma Guohua and said: "I am busy with official business every day, and I may not have time to see Xianqi every time, if there is anything else, I will look for him." ”

After saying that, Deputy Envoy Zheng picked up the tea bowl and touched it lightly, Zhang Han quickly knelt down, the gold bricks under his knees were very hard, he kowtowed, and said: "The grass people have thanked the boss, and the grass people have said goodbye." ”

After getting out of the second gate, Ma Guohua ordered people to prepare the carriage and horse, and his face was not good-looking when he spoke, from Yanghe Acropolis to Xinping Fort, the fast horse can be reached in one day, and the fast car is two days, and the slow is three days.

"Steward Ma, this trip is hard, and I need you to take care of it in the future." Zhang Han's right hand stretched out into Ma Guohua's left sleeve, and the other party took out a piece of silver with fifty or two foot patterns, and suddenly smiled like a flower.

……

Three days later, the carriage and horses returned to Xinping Fort, and when entering the fort, the soldiers guarding the door deliberately glanced at Zhang Han and a few people, although the military fort was big, there were not many things, and the selection of Zhang Han's family as the head of the line must have been well known.

The carriage and horse did not arrive at He Yusheng and Zhang's house, but went straight to the general's mansion, this time as soon as the post and letter were sent in, Lai Tongxin immediately asked to meet, and when everyone arrived at the second gate, Lai Shenjun actually greeted him at the door in person.

Seeing Zhang Han, Lai Tongxin's face was shaking, and he said in a complaining tone: "Zhang Shao's proprietor is actually related to Master Ma, why didn't he say it earlier?" If I had said it earlier, wouldn't there have been such misunderstandings? ”

Zhang Han was about to kneel down and snort, but Lai Tongxin helped him up and said, "There is no need to do this, Zhang Shaodong doesn't have to alarm Master Ma if he has anything in the city in the future, he can solve it by looking for the general." ”

Of course, this was said to Ma Guohua in person, and Zhang Han hurriedly agreed.

"Young proprietor, you can go by yourself," Ma Guohua took a step forward, turned to Zhang Han and said: "My lord also explained some official affairs, I went in to discuss with the general, and I also rested here after the matter, and then I turned around, and the proprietor can go home." ”

"Yes," Zhang Han turned to Lai Tongxin and said, "In that case, the grass people retreat." ”

Lai Tongxin said: "The young proprietor doesn't have to worry, I will send someone to the official hall, and someone will be exempted from the errand service of your family, and I will not send another errand in the future." ”

Zhang Han was grateful, and after thanking him a few times, he turned around when Ma Guohua and Lai Tongxin had entered the second gate.

After he walked out of the gate, he smiled at Liang Hong and the others, and nodded again, Liang Hong rushed forward, but he lifted Zhang Han up.

Liang Hong said with excitement on his face: "Young proprietor, you are really powerful!" ”

Zhang Han laughed and told Liang Hong to put himself down.

His heart was also relieved, and he even felt much happier breathing.

Since the fight has been crossed, this time the matter is dangerous and dangerous, if it weren't for the fact that there is a family that is not weak enough to borrow, this time it is really dead and can not die again.

What kind of invention and creation when you come back, and then desperately make money, or farming and development or something Zhang Han has read a few novels, and now it seems that it is all nonsense, in the political environment of the Ming Dynasty, a rich businessman who has no official body and back, and a view is a fat sheep, and the low-level officers have no family to rely on, even if they have more meritorious service, it is useless.

Back home, Zhou Fengji and others rushed to hear the news, and it happened that the people from the Qing Military Hall also came, and the soldiers and soldiers at the door, including the shacks, were withdrawn, these days the Qing Military Hall has urged several times, and this time they never mentioned it, but the officials guarding the door came in to Zhang Han again and again, accompanied him, and then received a small piece of silver, and left happily.

"This is a letter from my uncle, and this matter is over?"

Chang's face was full of incredulity, she was a woman in the end, and she didn't understand the Tao here at all.

In fact, even Zhou Fengji and Liang Hong don't know much about it, they are just pure shopkeepers in the final analysis.

Zhang Han was half-lying in the chair, with a charcoal basin at his feet, running back and forth for more than ten days, and it was also thanks to his strong body, and he was the age of his later life, otherwise he would not have survived.

He looked at everyone and said with a smile: "This is the benefit of having a gentry at home, the uncle has been a magistrate, and Master Ma is his showman, this is the friendship between teachers and students, the most important teacher-student relationship in this dynasty, sometimes it is above the father and son, this is just a point of show, if the uncle is a jinshi, he has been a scholar, and he has been a jinshi again, then there are protégés everywhere in the world, and what protégés will do, if the minister of the cabinet has presided over the spring festival, this teacher and student are a force in the court and the locality, and they can respond to each other. There are a lot of head joints here, and I don't really understand them. ”

Liang Hong asked, "Then why does General Lai attach so much importance to Master Ma's letter?" ”

"Master Ma is in his prime, and he is likely to be governor, fu, or even an official in the future, although General Lai is a third-grade official, in the end he is only a military official, and Master Ma is a direct boss, how can he not give face."

Zhang Han said leisurely: "In the final analysis, we are just ant-like characters in the eyes of others, and the things we ask for are just mustard seeds, and we don't have to worry about it at all." ”

"Amitabha." Chang put his hands together, chanted the Buddha, and said with a happy face: "No matter what people think of us, it is important for us to live our own lives, since Puzhou has returned to the sect, and there is still Lord Ma here to take care of it, and no one will bully us and Yusheng in the future." ”

"That's what my mother said."

After Zhang Han answered, he got up and went out, and glanced at Zhou Fengji and Liang Hong.

"This is a risky pass, but who knows if anyone will fight our idea again in the future?" Zhang Han looked at the two of them and said in a calm tone: "Master Ma may be transferred, the prince of Puzhou is old, and I don't want to go to the ancestral hall all the time." ”

Liang Hong said very respectfully: "Shaodong said a charter, and we will follow it." ”

Zhou Fengji also said: "This time and Yusheng can survive this pass depends on Shaodong, what decision Shaodong wants to make, we don't have anything to say." ”

Zhang Han groaned and said: "In the future, I will try to get an official position, but I don't care about it for the time being, the important thing is that I can't do business with Yusheng like this, you come to the study with me, I have something important to say to you." ”

At this time, Li Jinlian in the backyard of the house screamed again, Zhang Han stopped and listened for a while, but she was clamoring for bird's nest to eat, it turned out that Zhang Han was not in these days, this Jinlian also stopped, and as soon as she heard that there was nothing to do, she began to toss again.

Liang Hong said with a smile: "Young proprietor, just sell her to the Mongols, such a rich and white woman with small feet, the nobles over there love her very much." ”

Zhou Fengji said unhappily: "I am from a white family, how can I do such an unconscionable thing." ”

Zhang Han's heart moved, but there was nothing abnormal on his face, and he only smiled: "Let her make trouble, anyway, there is no bird's nest." ”

Everyone laughed, and at this time, Liang Xing and Yang Qiu came over, bowed and said, "Young proprietor, the matter has been completed, and the two of us have nothing to do here, so we have to turn around and go to rest." ”

"Don't be in a hurry." Zhang Han stopped the two of them, and said to Zhang Chun: "Take that plate." ”

Zhang Chun agreed, and after a while, he brought a boxwood strip plate, which was covered with red cloth and silk, and Zhang Han reached out and lifted the cloth, revealing the bright silver.

The silver looks like a lot, but it is actually one or two ingots, and there are dozens of them, Zhang Han said to Liang Xing and the others: "You follow me all the way, things are done very smoothly, and you have a lot of credit, twenty taels per person, take it first." ”

Liang Xing said uneasily: "I'll just run away, everything is done by you, the young proprietor, how can you take so much." ”

These tigers, usually look majestic, but in fact, they can't get a few dollars, only the head of the group can get some silver in the first year, which is not much, Liang Xing is usually at home, and he may not earn this amount in a year.
