After Yuan Chaonian left with the contract and silver, Zhang Yuan said to Wuling: "Xiao Wu, we are going to play on the ice bed on the bank of the Paozi River in the afternoon, you and Uncle Yao go to Brother Zongzi to move the myopia glasses, faint goggles, and incense glasses to the Hanshe bookstore on Dengshi Street for sale, the retail price is four taels and five yuan for faint goggles, six taels and five yuan for myopia glasses, and four taels of incense glasses, all of which are slightly higher than the price of Shanyin. ”

Wu Ling grinned and agreed, but he wanted to say something but stopped talking.

Zhang Yuan asked, "Xiao Wu, what do you have to say?" ”

Wu Ling scratched the back of his head and smirked, but he still couldn't open his mouth.

Xue Tong on the side said loudly: "Jie Zi Xianggong, Brother Xiaowu wants to marry Sister Yunjin." ”

Zhang Yuan laughed, patted Wu Ling's shoulder and said, "Xiao Wu, don't worry, I have a plan-let me ask you, do you and Yun Jin want to get married before the new year or wait for the first month of the new year?" Shang Tanran had already consulted Yun Jin's opinion, and Yun Jin agreed to marry Wu Ling, Wu Ling is eighteen years old this year, and Yun Jin is sixteen years old, both of whom have reached the age suitable for marriage.

Xue Tong clamored: "Just get married tonight, Brother Xiaowu can't wait." ”

"Go aside." Wu Ling pushed Xue Tong, scratched his head and said to Zhang Yuan: "It's all up to the young master and the young grandmother to decide." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Today is the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, let's put it in the first month, the marriage event can't be too hasty." ”

Wu Ling nodded again and again, he couldn't close his mouth with joy, Xue Tong and Bai Ma The two teenagers were making a fuss about begging Brother Xiaowu for wine and food, Zhang Yuan entered the house and told Shang Ran about it, Shang Ran smiled and said: "Okay, tomorrow, please ask the people of Qingmo Mountain to choose a good day and do it well, Yunjin has been with me since he was six years old." I can't treat her badly. ”

Yun Jin was on the side, his face was flushed with shame, and he thanked his aunt and Miss shyly, Yun Jin used to think that Wuling was short, Wuling has grown a lot taller in the past two years, Wuling is a close confidant of his uncle, and his appearance is also delicate, after she married Wuling. can still be by the side of the young lady, which makes Yun Jin very satisfied.

……

In an early second, Liu Dongming, Xu Yun, and Jin Zhongqing, three North Korean envoys, visited on time and sent two large gift boxes to Zhang Yuan. It is said that it is a local instrument in a remote and small state, and Zhang Xiu is invited to laugh at it, there are small North Korean specialties such as oil, cotton paper, pen and ink, and more valuable gems, crystals and ginseng. Zhang Yuan thanked him and did not refuse.

Wang Wei cooking tea in the inner courtyard. Let Hui Xiang come out to entertain the guests, Wang Wei ate the tea of the tea master Min Wenshui for several years, and he was exposed to it, and he also learned a good tea art, Xu Yun and Jin Zhongqing sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty many times. I have never tasted such a good tea, and I am full of praise.

Liu Dongming took out the chapter that Jin Zhongqing had prepared last night to prepare for the Zhengdan Dynasty meeting and presented it to the Ming Emperor. After asking Zhang Yuan's opinion, Zhang Yuan was not polite, and put forward a few suggestions for revision, Liu Dongming expressed his admiration, and after he went back, he revised according to what Zhang Yuan said.

Zhang Yuan asked about the results of the trial of the Weitai Restaurant, and Jin Zhongqing said: "I also went to the Jinyi Wei Yamen to visit Wang Qianhu before the afternoon of next day. Wang Qianhu said that the Jurchen spy named Ang Abba who was caught would not have spoken, if it weren't for the shopkeeper surnamed Zhai who confessed that Ang Abba was the Niu Lu Ezhen of the Zhengbai Banner of Jianzhou. Wang Qianhu and they really want to think that Ang Aba is mute, this Jurchen spy has refused to eat since the day he was captured, and he broke his wrist, and now he is dying, it seems that it is difficult to get this person to confess. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "It's a pity that I couldn't catch the red-faced scholar, that red-faced scholar is very likely to be the master of the Jianzhou Zhengbai Banner Black Return, have the three envoys ever known the black return?" ”

Liu Dongming and Jin Zhongqing glanced at each other, and Jin Zhongqing said: "Hei is still the eighth son of Nurhachi, we have only heard of his name, and I have never seen him before." ”

Zhang Yuan noticed that Liu Dongming's expression was different, Jin Zhongqing should be inexhaustible, and thought: "Guanghaijun and Nurhachi have always had dealings, Liu Dongming is the uncle of the country, presumably he knows the inside story, as far as I know, before the battle of Salhu, Guanghaijun was forced by the pressure of the Ming court to send troops to help the war, and after the war, Guanghaijun wanted to maintain neutrality on both sides, Senior Brother Xu once wrote to Emperor Wanli, asking to send ministers to North Korea to take care of his country, so as to control North Korea and contain the southern invasion of Houjin, Senior Brother Xu is very insightful, However, the ministers of the DPRK and China still held the so-called benevolence, righteousness and generosity of the suzerainty power, and failed to support Senior Brother Xu's suggestion, in fact, in extraordinary times, there is a precedent for the suzerainty to send people to guardian the subject country, and it is completely feasible——"

Xu Yun and Jin Zhongqing are all Confucian scholars of the Korean liberal arts, and naturally have a long talk with the new champion of the Ming Dynasty to quote scriptures and classics, and the deputy envoy Xu Yun is Li Zhen's admirer, this time in Beijing to find Li Zhen's "Book Burning", regarded as a treasure, Xu Yun knew that Zhang Yuan's teacher Jiao Hong and Li Zhen were friends, Jiao Hong had published 68 volumes of Li Zhen's "Collection of Books", but after Li Zhen died in prison, some of the works were ordered to be burned by the Ministry of Rites, the ban has been relaxed in recent years, Li Zhen's books have appeared in the market again, but "Collection of Books" because of more than 60 volumes, So far, there is no new engraving, Xu Yun learned from Zhang Yuan's words that Zhang Yuan also admired Li Zhen, not the kind of traditional Confucian who regarded Li Zhen's doctrine as a poisonous snake and beast, so he wanted to ask Zhang Yuan to write a letter to a friend in Nanjing to find a set of "Collected Books" -

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Deputy Envoy Xu, it's not that you don't want to help, but Li Zhuowu's book is regarded as heresy by many people in the Ming Dynasty, and if it spreads to your country through the hands of your subordinates, I'm afraid that it will not be appropriate to spread it." ”

Xu Yun's face turned red in an instant, and he left the seat and said, "I'm presumptuous, don't blame Zhang Xiu." ”

Zhang Yuan also saluted: "Deputy Xu is a person who loves books, how strange is it. Xin said: "It is difficult for me to introduce Western learning, and the effect of holding a big debate is limited, so why let Wang Xue's leftist Li Zhen's doctrine disturb the Korean Confucian tradition, for North Korea, now is not the time to change its academic thinking, it is more useful to promote the loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety of orthodox Confucianism, and North Korea is to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty——"

After talking for half an hour, Jin Zhongqing saw that there were maidservants outside the hall who came to peep frequently, and he thought that Zhang Yuan still had something to do, so he whispered a few words to Liu Dongming, and the three Korean envoys got up to say goodbye.

Zhang Yuan sent out of the gate and said goodbye to Liu Dongming and the three of them, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Jing Hui smiling at him inside the Golden Pillar Gate and said, "Uncle, I drove your guests away." ”

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Xiao Hui is here, then let's set off to the bank of the Paozi River." ”

At this time, Qi Biaojia came from the military department, and wanted to accompany his fiancée Shang Jinglan to enjoy the snow scenery and sit on the ice bed, Shang Ran was also easy to play, and brought the nine-month-old Xiao Hongjian with him, Wang Wei and Mu Zhenzhen went, hired three big cars, and went to the bank of the Baozi River to see, there were many people playing on the ice bed, men and women, there was no spare ice bed, and I could hear that there were women singing Suzhou songs in the sliding ice bed, and there was a man's laughter, first went to Zhang Lianfang's mansion to wait, Shang Ran took Xiaohong to talk to Zhang Dai's wife Liu-

Zhang Yaofang went to Xicheng to visit the Chenghuang Temple Fair and did not return, Zhang Dai heard that Zhang Yuan had brought his family to play on the ice bed, so he said: "I'll go and ask, give some silver, let those people leave, and vacate this side of the lake." "Hurriedly went to the back garden, and often opened the road with silver money, which Zhang Dai and Zhang Cao are very similar, they are both gentlemen.

Zhang Yuan asked Wuling and Uncle Yao to move the glasses from the Hanshe Mirror Workshop to the bookstore on Dengshi Street, and when they were moving the cages, they suddenly saw Hui Xiang running in from behind, panting, and shouted: "Jie Zi Xianggong, Zongzi Xianggong quarreled with people, and those people made fun of Wei Gu and Kou'er——"

Zhang Yuan frowned, strode to the back garden, Uncle Yao, Wu Ling, Xue Tong followed, Zhang Lianfang's mansion is located on the west bank of the Paozi River, the back garden is facing the Paozi River, Zhang Yuan came out of the wooden gate of the back garden, and saw a large number of people gathered on the frozen riverside, the people who were originally playing on the ice came here at this time, the eldest brother Zhang Dai was arguing with a few men in brocade hats and mink fur, Wang Wei and Li Ko'er were standing in the back, and a few maids and servants, who were also helping Zhang Dai scold those people-

Zhang Yuan walked over and asked Zhang Dai, "Big brother, what's the matter?" ”

Before Zhang Dai could reply, he suddenly heard a woman in an ice bed in the Baozi River exclaim in surprise: "Isn't this the head of Zhang's case?" "It's clearly a Shaoxing accent.

"Case head Zhang, is this the name of the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse?"

Zhang Yuan stared at it, the woman in the ice bed had already gotten up and walked down the ice bed, but her little feet slipped, she fell on all fours, wanted to get up, and slipped again, how can Jin Lian's little feet walk on the ice, the woman in the red dress simply knelt on the ice, bowed to Zhang Yuan and said: "Zhang doesn't recognize the slave family, the slave family is Wulingchun of Shanyin Guanwang Temple." ”

Zhang Yuan said softly, Wu Lingchun, there is an impression, that year he won the county test case, and was invited by the third brother Zhang Cao to go to the Baihua Restaurant near Guanwang Temple to drink, there were seven prostitutes who accompanied the wine, Wu Lingchun was one of them, Wu Lingchun had sharp teeth, Wu sang very well, and his name was one more word than Wu Ling, so he was quite impressed by Zhang Yuan, but I don't know how this Wu Lingchun also arrived in the capital, of course, now is not the time to catch up with a hometown prostitute-

Zhang Yuan nodded at Wu Lingchun, and asked the eldest brother Zhang Dai what happened?

Zhang Dai said angrily: "Let Kou'er say, I arrived later." ”

Li Kouer then said: "Zongzi Xianggong made a Xiaoice bed for me, I want to play with Weigu by the river, these people-" pointed at the few brocade-hat mink Qiu men, "these people came over and made fun of the wind, I scolded them, then Zongzi Xianggong came over, these people actually asked Zongzi Xianggong to apologize to them!" ”

Wang Wei and Li Ko'er are one in ten thousand beauties, the costume is the regulation of concubines, these few light men thought it was okay to laugh a few words, but they didn't expect Wang Wei and Li Ko'er to be unforgiving, scolding them so annoyed and angry, seeing Zhang Dai coming, knowing that it was Zhang Dai's concubine, he wanted Zhang Dai to apologize to them, these men are obviously very powerful, and a little stupid, otherwise they wouldn't be so arrogant, you must know that most of the people who live on the banks of the Paozi River are also eunuchs-
