Song Jinggong didn't want to drink too much wine this time, just tasted a few glasses, but after a few glasses, he was still confused, lying there crookedly, and his mouth kept saying flattering things to Steward Zhang.

Steward Zhang was also a little swaying, he knew that his alcohol consumption was not like this, it was all made by the little boy, not in the wine, but in advance in this somewhat cramped restaurant with a brazier.

He didn't know what oxygen deficiency was, or what it meant that a local temperature increase would increase blood circulation, which would cause alcohol to affect the brain faster.

He only knew that since the little boy said so, it would definitely not be wrong, after arranging Song Jinggong's rest, he would go out to do other things.

When Song Jinggong woke up, it was already afternoon, and he was fed the sobering soup by the maid who waited for him, and in a daze, he vaguely heard someone talking.

"Steward Zhang, who let you call the shots alone? Could it be that you don't have me in your eyes anymore? ”

Listening to the voice as if it was a woman, Song Jinggong rubbed his still aching head with his hand, and listened carefully with his ears sideways.

"No, the little one doesn't dare, the little one just thinks that Song Gongzi's business is doing well, so he wants to get some money, if Madam doesn't allow it, the little one will send him away."

Song Jinggong finally heard it clearly, it was the Zhang Wang family who was talking at this time, and then thinking about Zhang Zhuang's matter, obviously, the person who could make Zhang Guan so scared must be that Zhang Wang's family.

Seeing that the hostess was about to drive her away, Song Jinggong was in a hurry, and was just about to go out to explain one or two, when he heard Zhang Wangshi say: "Steward Zhang, since you have taught Zhuangzi to you, you must be in good spirits, don't let people deceive you." ”

"Madam, don't worry, you will never be deceived, then Song Gongzi is not that kind of person." Just when Song Jinggong was worried that he would be recognized, Steward Zhang's voice sounded.

"Huh, it's not anyone? Could it be that you have benefited from him and are speaking for him? I've heard that Song Jinggong actually moved to Gejiazhuang yesterday, and this is to cheat money and escape. Zhang Wang's voice came again.

Song Jinggong was a little aggrieved when he heard this, if he could explain, he would definitely rush out and say that the two people in front of him were really too tricky.

But he couldn't say, who did the Zhang Wang family know about him? If you really rush out, that's unwise.

With a hint of worry, Song Jinggong listened carefully, hoping that Steward Zhang could say a few more good words for him at this time, and sure enough, Steward Zhang spoke.

"Back to Mrs., I have tested Song Gongzi today, especially when eating and drinking, Song Gongzi is really good, as for resting in other Zhuangzi, according to small conjectures, there must be someone who is familiar with Song Gongzi in that Zhuangzi."

"Okay, needless to say, I can't even recognize people, if you don't believe it, send someone to follow the man surnamed Song, if my guess is correct, he doesn't have any goods at all, these days, as long as he gets the money, he will hide.

His shop is not worth three hundred taels of silver at all, and you haven't even seen what the goods are, so you dare to make such a plan, how can you put Zhuangzi in charge in the future, hum! ”

Zhang Wang's dissatisfied voice came again, so that Song Jinggong was taken aback, he was not afraid that someone would investigate, he was afraid that this Zhang Wang would directly veto his proposal, if this was the case, wouldn't the money he spent a few days ago be cheaper for others?

After listening for a while, until the footsteps of a person faded away, Song Jinggong sat down on a small stool next to the window, thinking about what to do in the future.

waited until he couldn't hear any more sounds, and then he heard Steward Zhang, who had never left, greet people.

"Go and call Xiao Qi, wait for Song Gongzi to leave the courtyard, follow behind, if you find that he intends to leave, come back quickly and report to me."

Waiting for a person to leave, Song Jinggong breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly made up his mind that he couldn't let people see the horses and feet in the past few days, and quietly walked back to the front of the collapse, and the clothes were lying there, enduring the headache, looking at the roof of the shed, thinking about how to cheat the money of this Zhang family Zhuangzi.

I didn't expect that Steward Zhang said that Zhang Wang's family came back so early, so coincidentally? Did he hear about his arrival, or he didn't worry about managing things and deliberately did this.

This lay, Song Jinggong fell asleep in a daze again, until he woke up again in the evening, got up and collapsed, and just wanted to find Steward Zhang to say goodbye, he heard Steward Zhang's voice sounding outside the window.

"Has Song Gongzi ever woken up?"

"The slave doesn't know, Song Gongzi has never gone out."

"Well, wait for me to go in and have a look, and order someone to prepare food and drinks."

Song Jinggong heard the voice, pretended to have just woken up, opened his hazy sleepy eyes, and waited for Steward Zhang to enter the door, then yawned and said: "Steward Zhang is a good drinker, Song still knows what to say to Steward Zhang since he was eating, but then he forgot it all, and he can't even remember how to get to this room." ”

"Song Gongzi doesn't have any concerns about Zhuangzi, so he is so relieved to drink, Zhang Mou will not be, Zhuangzi has to take care of all the big and small things, and you need to keep a few points for drinking, otherwise I don't know what chaos will happen."

Steward Zhang came in with a smile on his face, and said with a haha when he looked at Song Jinggong.

Song Jinggong didn't have time to pay attention to the truth of these words, pressed his eyebrows with his hand, and said: "Looking at the sky outside, it should be dusk, Song will not bother much, wait for a few days, the goods will arrive, and then talk to Manager Zhang in detail." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, I'll leave after dinner, the people in Zhuang are not smart, it's hard to find someone to talk to, Song Gongzi finally came once, no matter what, he can't leave like this." Steward Zhang wanted to stop him.

"Thank you Zhang for your kindness, it's a pity that Song is not strong enough to drink, and at this moment he still has a headache, he can't drink, he really can't drink, in a few days, Song will come again."

Song Jinggong said that he would not eat here anymore, all he had to do now was to pretend and make people believe him, and it didn't matter if he ate a meal or not.

Steward Zhang persuaded a few more words, but Song Jinggong insisted, and in desperation, sent Song Jinggong outside the gate, and then stood there and refused to turn back for a long time.

If he was a bystander, he would have been moved a long time ago, but Song Jinggong knew that there was a person named Xiao Qi, who should follow him in a place that he couldn't see, and after thinking about it, he decided to live in Zhang's Zhuangzi's house, and it didn't matter if he spent some money, at least he could put the Zhang Wang family at ease.

******

When night fell, a few people who left Zhangjia Zhuangzi and Wang Zhuangzi were still in a hurry.

The closest to Zhuangzi should be said to be Weishui, if you want to use a ship to transport goods, you have to walk less, but the closest to Sanshui County is the Luoshui River, according to Song Jinggong's work, it should be there to release goods.

In order not to make a mistake, people were sent on both sides to check, in addition, two people went to Sanshui County, and when they went there to arrange, several groups of people were instructed not to reveal their identities no matter where they went.

Xinping City, which is dozens of miles away from Tuqiao Village, ushered in two dusty people in the morning of this day, these two people did not enter the city directly, but in a place not far from the city, they found a Zhuangzi to live in, according to the instructions, they slept well, and only woke up in the afternoon, freshened up, and threw a few copper coins to the people who stayed overnight, and then came out to inquire around where there was a house for sale.

When others asked, they said that they came from afar, and wanted to find a house to live here, and after half an hour, they finally found a person who was willing to sell the house, regardless of the fact that it was not early, and pulled people to buy the house on the same day.

One of them stayed to clean the house, and hired someone to pan the kang, and the other hurried back, when it was really a starry night, Yu Chou returned to Zhangjiazhuang at three o'clock, entered the door regardless of fatigue, went straight to the courtyard where Zhang Xiaobao slept, to the door, panting and reporting.

"Zhang Si was ordered to return, and two miles outside Xinping City, Xiaoniuzhuang bought a house, fortunately not dishonored."

After that, the man was so tired that he couldn't stand anymore, and he squatted there, holding the ground with one hand, and kept panting.

Xiaohong heard the voice, woke up Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, the two of them looked at each other, hurriedly got up, asked Xiaohong to hug the collapse, lit the lantern, and walked out of the door.

When he got outside, seeing the appearance of Zhang Si under the moonlight, Zhang Xiaobao nodded, sent the water forward, and said, "Good job, the Zhang family is glorified because of you." ”

"Little boy Xie, the house is bought, please ask the little boy to command." Zhang Si took the bowl, raised his head and poured it down, wiped his mouth with his hand, and replied respectfully.

"Well, that's good, let's go find the cherry, let her arrange the rest, and it will be hard for you to make a trip, remember to be careful on the road." Zhang Xiaobao saw that a matter had been done, and nodded with a smile and said.

Waiting for Zhang Si to leave, he turned back to Wang Juan and said, "This is the person I Zhang Xiaobao wants, how efficient is it compared to your special second place?" ”

"It's just ordinary, don't think that all the people in my place are eating idle food, and the other three ways you arranged to go out haven't come back yet." Wang Juan pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

"I don't mean to belittle you, just ask, go back to sleep, it seems that you don't have to sleep right away, eat milk first, just a little hungry."

Zhang Xiaobao smiled, saw the mother standing at the door, ran two steps and threw herself into the mother's arms, pretending to be a child, Wang Juan touched his stomach and found that there was indeed nothing in it, so he also walked over.

On the bank of the Luoshui River, there were also two people who didn't sleep here, looking at the boats staying at the dock, looking secretly, and carefully noting down the red and green things exposed on the boats by the occasional flashing lights.

"Xiao Mazi, you are locked here, I will go back to report, the little son of the Zhang family is still waiting." One looked at it for a moment, felt that he remembered what it was, and said to the other, and when the other nodded, he turned and disappeared into the night.

Those who remained, holding back their weariness, lay on the grass, let the dew gradually wet their clothes, and watched the situation motionlessly, and listened to the words of the two night watchmen on the other side.
