There was not much time left for the young couple to flirt, and soon, a group of nobles with a marquis on their heads made Zhang Ru busy again.

Originally, it stands to reason that Zhang Ru should go to these people to pay New Year's greetings first, but Zhang Ru was the so-called Hou Ye for the first time, and he didn't understand some rules at all, plus his temperament was not likable, so those Hou Ye **** New Year's greetings, no one thought it was strange.

Occasionally, when the people saw the richly dressed dignitaries and nobles entering the Hou Mansion, they couldn't help but praise: "Our Hou Ye is amazing, even those old Hou Ye have to **** to pay respects." ”

Of course, this is just a conversation between the little people after dinner, whether it is Zhang Ru or those veteran marquis, no one will take these rumors seriously.

Xungui's face is more important than anything else, but life is much more important than face.

Not to mention that Baoguo Gong maintained an ambiguous attitude, just the more than 30 Hou Ye of the 12th Regiment Battalion were respectful to Zhang Ru, and those Hou Ye who were coerced to come to pay New Year's greetings did not dare to talk nonsense.

To make the marquis of the 12th regiment battalion so respectful, the attitude of Zhu Yong, the protector of the country, is important, but the most important thing is some monetary benefits promised by Zhang Ru.

To be able to get a piece of the pie from the sea is a huge amount of money that no one can imagine, and just one year's income is enough for these Hou Ye to live in peace for two or three years. If the sea ban is really lifted as Zhang Ru imagined, maybe these nobles can become a wealthy family with a lot of money.

Although this was only a little idea put forward by Zhang Ru and Bao Guogong, those nobles did not doubt the feasibility of this idea at all.

I finally sent the gang away, and it was already afternoon.

Zhang Ru didn't care about eating lunch, so he asked people to pull out the gifts that had been prepared long ago, and led the convoy towards several cabinet ministers and the Baoguo Mansion.

The old men in the cabinet naturally need to pay a visit, and the power they control is not at all necessary to protect the power of the nobles such as the Duke of Baoguo. Of course, Zhang Ru was able to visit him in person, and these elders, whether they were sincere or fake, felt that they had a lot of face.

You must know that this is the lord who dared to bargain with the first emperor when the first emperor was there, not to mention that the current saint is a tiger brother in private.

Although Qiu Jun's attitude towards Zhang Ru is not as flattering as Liu Ji's, it is quite acceptable, but Liu Jian's attitude towards Zhang Ru is not very good.

Don't look at the little old man who personally went into battle to greet Zhang Ru in the morning, but in the afternoon, he immediately changed his face.

The reason why he appeared in the New Year's greeting procession in the morning was nothing more than the persuasion of Qiu Jun, an old friend, and the threat of Liu Ji and Liu Mian. If you really want to do things according to his heart, you won't go to visit Zhang Ru if you kill him.

A hairy boy, his ability is not very outstanding, and his prominent status is entirely because of the Holy Family, why should he let this old man go to visit?

Zhang Ru didn't care, he knew that all literati had the so-called integrity. This old master treats him coldly, and it is reasonable.

The next thing is to pay a visit to the marquis, and finally to Zhu Yong, the prince of the country.

When he arrived at the door of Zhu Yong's mansion at dinner time, the doorman saw the team from afar, and after entering to report it, he came out with an order that made him in a dilemma.

Two powerful servants blocked the gate on the left and on the right, and they didn't plan to let Zhang Ru in.

Zhang Ru smiled and arched his hand towards the door: "Please also give a respect, and say that Zhang Ru, the Marquis of Dingbian, has given the old prince a greeting." ”

Menzi glanced at the two healthy servants from the army with a sad face, and said: "It's not that the little ones don't go to the courtesy, it's really the Lord Guogong who has the words first, and it's not impossible for the Hou Ye to go in, so he will leave three thousand taels of silver first." ”

"What?" Before Zhang Ru could speak, Fan Tong was already glaring at him and grabbed Menzi's shirt angrily: "Three thousand taels of silver?" You Diao slave is really a big thief, do you know who is opposite you? ”

Menzi was so anxious that he was about to come out: "Uncle, I really don't know what grandpa means!" ”

Zhang Ru shouted at Fan Tong: "Fan Tong, don't be rude!" This is the problem that Master Zhu gave me, what do you do for a gatekeeper. ”

It is said that the prime minister has seven officials in front of the door, and since ancient times, there has been a saying that the door wants to be respected. Whether it is an official or a nobleman, except for a few people who are really capable of reaching the sky, ordinary people will not care about a few taels of silver.

But when it was said that Menjing asked for three thousand taels of silver, this was the first time that Zhang Ru had heard of it.

Seeing the expression of the disciple who wanted to cry without tears, and thinking about the amount of money that the other party wanted to access the curfew, Zhang Ru immediately understood that this was not a decision that the disciple dared to make. The reason why I was able to say that I wanted to get a curfew of three thousand taels of silver was that it really came from the mouth of the old and disrespectful Baoguo Gong.

Since this is the case, embarrassing a disciple who doesn't know anything will only lose his identity, so he let Fan Tong not be rude.

Zhang Ru walked over and straightened Menzi's messy clothes, took out an ingot of about five taels of silver from his arms and stuffed it into his hand: "My subordinates are rude, please don't be surprised." Please go in and tell the old Guogong, and say that Zhang Ru brought the silver, but he needs a person with status from the Guogong Mansion to get it. ”

Menzi was a little hesitant: "Grandpa's side."

Zhang Ru smiled: "If you go to Tongyu, Grandpa won't blame you." ”

Menzi was still a little hesitant, and when he saw Fan Tong's cannibalistic gaze, he took the risk of being beaten and went in from the new.

Zhu Yong laughed dumbly after hearing Menzi's words, originally a little angry because Zhang Ru put him, the Duke of Baoguo, in the last place to visit, but the other party threw out an identity question and blocked his way of asking for respect.

Yes, how can a small door be taken away by a small door for three thousand taels of silver? If Zhang Ru really felt at ease to hand over three thousand taels of silver to a doorman, it would either be Zhang Ru's head pumping or his ears were wrong.

"Hui'er, go and invite your fox friend in. If he doesn't have three thousand taels of silver, let him stay outside. Baoguo Gong said to a group of Zhu Hui who were pretending to be teacups.

Zhu Hui only felt a chill in his back, he didn't know what virtue that young master had, his old man dared to pinch the other party, he didn't dare to pinch the other party.

Zhu Yong seemed to see his hesitation, and snorted coldly: "Take out your courage on the battlefield back then." is thirty years old, and he was frightened by a hairy boy in his early twenties. ”

Zhu Hui immediately straightened his waist, to say that what really made him feel proud was definitely not the identity of the heir of the Baoguo Gong on his body, nor the noble friends who could summon Shuntianfu Yin, but the great military exploits he had made on the battlefield in those years.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he was once a soldier, a Ming soldier who would rather bend.

Along the way, Zhu Hui thought of countermeasures in his mind all the way, and when he arrived at the door, the strategy in his mind had basically taken shape. So the first thing he did when he went out was not to greet Zhang Ru, but stretched out his hand to Zhang Ru with a cold face: "You want enough status, so I'm here." But my father said that you still can't go in without three thousand taels of silver. ”

Zhang Ru couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, this pair of strange father and son are really a little confusing.

was about to speak, but saw Zhu Hui squeezing his eyes at him.

He immediately understood, waved his hand, and motioned to the person carrying the gift behind him to carry the gift to the door: "The silver is in the box, if you want to see the silver, it is impossible to see the face of the grandfather." It's a big deal that Lao Tzu took someone back to his home, and Ben Hou believed that with the ability of Jinyiwei, he would definitely be able to let the people of the capital know how arrogant the Duke of Baoguo was. ”

Zhu Hui made a look at him just to let Zhang Ru borrow the slope to get off the donkey and deceive his father, but he didn't expect this kid to come ruthlessly and threaten him directly.

He glanced at Zhang Ru fiercely: "You come in with me, and everyone else is waiting at the door." ”

Zhang Ru smiled and followed Zhu Hui into the Baoguo Mansion, and after a while, he entered the Baoguo Gong's study.

Seeing Zhu Hui bring Zhang Ru in, Zhu Yong was angry, glanced at Zhang Ru coldly, and then said to his son: "Where is the silver?" ”

Before Zhu Hui could explain, Zhang Ru had already taken the lead in speaking: "Grandpa, don't be so philistine, let's discuss the matter of silver, as long as Grandpa gives enough time, don't say three thousand taels, it's thirty thousand taels, three hundred thousand taels, what's the difficulty." ”

Zhu Yong's eyes looked at the sky: "It's really a toad yawning, what a big breath." You don't weigh how many pounds and taels you have, you dare to make a big statement in front of your father, and you are not afraid that your father will let you out of the way. ”

Zhang Ru smiled and said: "Oh, don't be angry, the old man is all acquaintances, why bother to show me." What I'm saying is true, as long as you have time, money is not a problem at all. This yellow and white thing is not born and died, and it is not good for me to deceive my grandfather. ”

"Tell me." Zhu Yong was still a little angry.

Zhang Ru smiled and found a place to sit down, picked up the teacup and drank it, and after a bowl of good Longjing before the rain was drunk by him in one gulp, he smashed it and said: "Grandpa, the coral here is good, well, it's a little smaller, this Dongzhu is also very good-looking, but it's still a little smaller." ”

Zhu Yong frowned: "My father asked you to tell me how you got the money, and you ran backwards to evaluate your father's baby, what's the matter, it's really itchy?" ”

Zhang Ru waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare." If the younger generation is right, these things should be things from the sea. ”

Zhu Yong's face changed slightly: "What do you mean?" ”

Zhang Ru said: "I don't know if my grandfather has any intentions for the things I mentioned before?" If there is an intention, Wen Xuan dares to guarantee that within three years, the three thousand taels of silver will become three hundred thousand taels. Of course, three million taels is also possible, after all, no one knows how much unknown wealth is hidden in the sea. ”

Zhu Yong raised his eyebrows: "Boy, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, these are all treasures left by the previous dynasty, and they have nothing to do with my father." ”

Zhang Ru nodded and agreed: "This junior knows, hehe, so to speak, the grandfather agreed?" ”

Zhu Yong waved his hand: "Hui'er, send off, by the way, leave the gift." ”

Zhang Ru immediately turned around and left, and when he left the Guogong Mansion, he couldn't help laughing, and Zhu Hui's scalp was a little numb with laughter.
