Chapter 020: Suspected blind date
Zhang Yu originally thought that Jiang Chengyang was born in a family of eunuchs, and it is reported that his grandfather was also wealthy, so it stands to reason that he should have no concept of money. I don't want to talk about expenses just www.biquge.info I don't want to talk about expenses, this kid is extremely slippery, and it seems that he is not just a lonely child with a rebellious temperament.
At the beginning of the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, he conquered and expanded everywhere, and he was martial arts in the whole country. Now that he has been peaceful for a long time and his literary style is flourishing, Jiang Runze very much hopes that his son will inherit his father's will and embark on the path of orthodox literati like him. Such as practicing sword fighting, archery and horse archery, etc., are regarded by Jiang Runze as a vulgar skill of a martial artist, and the baby son can't even think about it.
Jiang Chengyang's biggest pleasure is probably to secretly flip through his favorite war books and strategies. However, most of these books are obscure, and they dare not openly ask for advice, and they can only find relevant wonderful classic war examples in many historical books. After all, twelve or thirteen-year-old children have limited patience, and when they are bored, how can they not often sneak out of the county office and linger in the streets? A child who is not short of money, who can bear not to buy things and wander around?
As it turned out, Zhang Yu's speculation was not bad at all.
The streets and alleys in Weinan City, the location of shops, and the price of goods, Jiang Chengyang is more familiar with three points than the county government where he lives. As long as Zhang Yu opens his mouth to buy something, this broken child doesn't need to frown, and he can take him there immediately.
When the two passed by a richly decorated mansion on the side of Linhe Street, Zhang Yu asked coldly: "Is Wanhualou expensive?" Is it fun? ”
"What's the fun? It's not too expensive...... it's expensive. "Wanhualou is the most famous Fengyue fireworks place in Weinan, that is, the building house that Fang just passed by. As soon as Jiang Chengyang spoke, he knew that he had been fooled, and said angrily: "I said that I am not allowed to yin me!" ”
"I'm just asking casually out of curiosity, why is it yin you?" Zhang Yu glanced at him a few times with bad intentions, and then continued to walk forward, shaking his head and sighing: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!" ”
With such a small episode, Jiang Chengyang is obviously much more honest, and he is much happier when he picks up the money. Zhang Yu bought a lot of miscellaneous things, although he didn't know what to do with them, he didn't interject anymore, he just closed his eyes and paid according to the price.
A large brush that is rarely used on weekdays, iron drills of different lengths and thicknesses, pots and jars of various sizes, long iron boxes with strange styles, a variety of spices and medicinal materials with strong smells, a coarse linen white cloth more than several zhang long, sturdy and durable thick-soled boots, expensive boning sharp knives, and the best old sheepskin ...... of the year, can almost open a grocery store.
For all the things purchased, Zhang Yu asked the store to send them to the Yang family firm in Chengbei Old Street, instead of sending them to the county office. Without waiting for Jiang Chengyang to ask, Zhang Yu took the lead in asking, "How much silver do you still have?" ”
Don't look at the wide variety, there are a lot of things, but they are not worth a few dollars. Jiang Chengyang replied depressedly: "You said that I should bring more money, I asked my mother for two hundred taels of silver, and there are less than one hundred and seventy taels left." ”
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "It should be almost enough." If it is missing, you can go to your mother again tomorrow to ask for it. - Go! Follow me to the Yang family business in Chengbei Old Street. ”
“…… Almost enough? What if it's missing? Are you so deceitful? Jiang Chengyang said with resentment on his face: "Do you know that even if you want to eat whatever you want in Tao Ranju, two hundred taels of silver is enough to eat for a month!" My mother repeatedly told me not to ask her for money for at least half a month! Do you think my family's money was blown by a strong wind? ”
Zhang Yu said expressionlessly: "Don't say it too early. The owner of the Yang family's firm is my maternal uncle, and now it is my second cousin who is in charge. If you are really unwilling to spend this money, I believe that the Yang family firm can still take out two hundred taels of silver. ”
After the sudden change in the Yang family, rumors did spread. Because of the effective timely disposal, the Li family's mother's family did not make a fuss, and many neighbors witnessed that the nephew of Xiucai, who had lived in sojourn for three years, was hired to go to the county government, and the gossip has gradually stopped.
After Li's death, Yang Zhao's status was naturally different. For the sake of the Yang family, but also for himself, most of the time he stays in the firm. Zhang Yu and Jiang Chengyang strolled speechlessly all the way, and Yang Zhao had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing that it was not early, Zhang Yu had no intention of saying more: "This is my student, the young master of the county lord." This is my cousin, the young proprietor of the Yang family's firm. Cousin, in order to arrange Young Master Jiang's free time, I bought a lot of things. Most of the inconvenience is stored in the county office, so it can only be stored here temporarily, and then come back to pick it up, and do not publicize it to the public. ”
What kind of eyes does Yang Zhao have? He agreed, "Cousin, what are these words?" It's a pleasure, but it's not a pleasure. Please rest assured, Young Master Jiang and cousin! ”
When Jiang Chengyang heard it, it was all for "free activities", and his resentment immediately decreased. Zhang Yuyi stretched out his hand and said, "Take all the silver you have left." ”
Jiang Chengyang took it out ignorantly, and Zhang Yu took it and stuffed it into Yang Zhao's hand without looking at it: "I also want to ask you to help buy two healthy horses, with stirrups, and two good bows and arrows." If there is a shortage of money, you should pay it in advance, and then pay it back. Oh, by the way, Young Master Jiang doesn't seem to have a lot of money lately, can my cousin lend me two hundred taels of silver? When I get the shackles, I will give them back in full. ”
Healthy horses? Bow and arrow? Even if Jiang Chengyang is a pig, he knows what Zhang Yu's intentions are. couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and quickly stopped Yang Zhao and said, "No, no!" My husband and I have already spoken in advance, and we don't need to spend a penny on my husband! Don't laugh, sir! With Boss Lao Yang bothering to help, I am deeply ashamed and cannot thank me. How can I ask you to advance money again? If there is a shortage, it will be delivered the next day! ”
Zhang Yu and Yang Zhao looked at each other and smiled, and asked, "Are you telling the truth?" ”
"Honestly, absolutely honestly!"
"My cousin and I are the same biological son, thanks to Young Master Jiang for not giving up, but in the future, but if there is a need, Yang will do his best to flatter." Yang Zhao coughed lightly a few times and said, "Cousin, there are still some trivial matters related to your return home and settlement. I wonder if you have time to finish tomorrow? ”
Zhang Yu was stunned when he heard this, and knew that Yang Zhao should have something to discuss: "Then it's going to be tomorrow afternoon, you can name a place." ”
Yang Zhao replied knowingly: "Tomorrow afternoon, I will wait for you at the Sihai Teahouse near the left." ”
On the way back to the county office, Jiang Chengyang couldn't help but smile and asked, "Sir, are you entertaining me?" Why didn't you say it earlier? ”
"Say what?"
"Healthy horses, bows and arrows, what else can be done? No wonder you're going to come up with some free time! Why didn't I think of that before? You're a master, and you're a wonderful person! Many of the things you buy today must be interesting to use! ”
Zhang Yu said angrily: "Then you are still anxious with me for a few pieces of silver?" Don't rejoice too soon, everything will have to wait until your father studies to get to the bottom of your studies. I'm very confident in myself, whether I succeed or not, it's all up to you! ”
Jiang Chengyang patted his chest and said, "Look, look at me!" ”
Zhang Yu smiled: "That's good." Regardless of whether you will lead the army in the future, there is no harm in having a strong body. If you're interested, go out for a run with me tomorrow? Your father said that the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones! ”
Zhang Yu has the idea of actively exercising and strengthening his body for more than a day or two, and it is absolutely necessary in the era when medical technology and conditions are not developed. Who thinks they're living a long life?
The Yang family business has become a den of free activities outside the county government, and getting up early to exercise is also an unprecedented new experience. Jiang Chengyang went from resisting to compromising to being curious about Zhang Yu, and unconsciously gradually obeyed sincerely. As for the silver, as long as you have the courage to cheat in front of your mother, you can always get it.
In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Yu came to the Sihai Teahouse as promised. Jiang Chengyang has heard a little about Zhang Yu's family background, and his aunts and cousins have cut off trivial matters, so it is naturally inconvenient to follow.
Yang Zhao had already taken the first step, pacing uneasily in front of the teahouse, followed by a maid. Zhang Yu stepped forward and asked directly, "Cousin, what are you looking for me?" ”
"Cousin, I ......".
"This must be Mr. Zhang Gongzi, a newly hired Mr. Xixi by the county lord." The maid beside Yang Zhao interjected: "My young lady is already waiting in the private room, and I respectfully ask Zhang Gongzi and Yang Shaodong to move upstairs to talk." ”
The maid was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with beautiful eyebrows and pretty eyes, and she felt very faced.
Zhang Yu said confusedly: "Your young lady? Who is your young lady? …… Cousin, what's going on? ”
I remembered that Old Man Yang had promised to find a family for him. I can't help but think to myself, this is going to be put into action? Yang Zhao didn't ask me to come on a blind date today, right?
Yang Zhao said with a strange expression: "It's inconvenient to talk here, you will know when you see it later." ”
