The horse neighed lightly, twisted his neck, stretched out his tongue and licked his face moistly twice, wet and itchy, he couldn't help laughing, next to Zhao Fushen looked at it, with a smile on his face, "It's good if the little minister likes it, and there is the carriage that the little minister said, I recommend renting, one is cheap, and the other is convenient." ”

Zheng Guofan nodded, and said to Shan Sinan next to him, "Big head, get some soybeans for this horse, remember to mix some eggs into it." Shan Sinan agreed loudly, turned around and ran away, Zhao Fushen had to shake his head secretly when he heard it, in his opinion, it was enough to feed the horses some alfalfa and sheep grass or something, but this young master wanted to mix soybeans with eggs, it was really ......

This young master, no matter how much money he makes, it is not enough. He had no choice but to say so in his heart.

However, now that people want to go south to study, although he still wants to continue to buy Zheng Guofan's book, but the capital of Deyifang is too small, and he is not qualified to drive the semicolon to the south, so he has to give up.

At this time, Zheng Guofan asked him how much silver the horse gets, and he smiled and said, "Because it was bought from a friend, and the horse is still young, it only cost fifty taels of silver." As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of silver cakes from his arms and handed them to Zheng Guofan, "Please take these thirty taels away." ”

Zheng Guofan took it casually, but at this time, Shan Chixia came over, took the silver cake from his hand, turned around and handed it to Zhao Fushen, "This horse is in the south, more than one hundred and fifty taels, even if it is on the ninth side, this horse is more than fifty taels, it's not good to ask the little proprietor to put money inside, please ask the little proprietor to put away this money!" ”

Zhao Fushen shook his hand again and again, "Mr. Chixia, I just ran errands, to be honest, my surname is scattered, I usually like to wander on the street, and my uncle doesn't know how many times he scolded me for this, this thing is really easy for me, and I really didn't put money into it, it is indeed a horse dealer friend who just wants to dispose of everything on hand and go home, although this horse is good, but in the end it is young, so most people refuse to buy, but it is really not polite to Mr. Chixia." "But he refused to accept Chixia's silver no matter what.

Next to him, Zheng Guofan saw that his old housekeeper Uncle Shan was doing things well, and secretly admired it tightly, but these small details were by no means something he could figure out, and only people like Uncle Shan who traveled south and north had this eyesight, and immediately hugged Zhao Fushen, "Brother Zhao, a thousand words, always the little brother is very grateful, these words have come to work hard Brother Zhao, please accept the little brother." He said with a deep bow.

This Zhao Fushen is also a high-eyebrow, and he accepted a gift from him, so he returned the salute with a smile, "My brother is embarrassed, I don't know what the little minister is going to leave, I will give the little minister a ride." ”

Zheng Guofan said with a smile: "In these two days, I don't dare to bother to send each other, I am going to go to Tianjin first, and then take a boat to the south." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Zhao Fushen said goodbye and left, Zheng Guofan thought that he had to give leave to the teachings in the county school, how could he have to seal ten taels of silver before he was embarrassed to come to the door, this Daxingzhi County Shen Bang Shen Master also gave himself a table word, and he also wanted to visit to express that the respect of this county had to be sealed twenty taels.

He told Shan Chixia about this plan, Shan Chixia didn't blame him for spending money on this, but nodded in approval, this interpersonal relationship is sleek, even he has only fully understood it in recent years, and sometimes he thinks that if he understood this truth in the army twenty years ago, he would be able to be a deputy thousand households, so he thinks that Zheng Guofan can have this idea, and he has indeed grown up, and it seems that he can support this family in the future.

Of course, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty at this moment is very normal for this kind of interpersonal interaction, just like the later "Confucianism and Foreign History" wrote that the old Xiucai Fan Jinzhongju was in the middle of the book, and it was normal to visit the officials and fight the autumn breeze from now on.

Although this Shen Bang is like Zhao Cangjing said, the annual salary is only forty taels, but there are all kinds of ways to make money that the people in the market do not know, and he is not surprised that Zheng Chengguan took twenty taels to the door, this student in his name has become famous in the past ten days, and sometimes he has to be proud when he thinks about it, so although he does not attach much importance to these twenty taels of silver, he is a little happy to know that he came to visit, and specially opened a study tour note for him, and stamped it with a formal big seal, just like a letter of introduction from a heavyweight unit to an individual in later generations. With this half-finger-wide strip, Zheng Chengguan can justifiably travel all over the world.

As for the old gentleman of the county school, he is extremely satisfied with the ten taels of silver that he is only a young student who is not an excellent student, the county school is a clear water yamen, unlike the universities of later generations, which can always open the door for people, they only have so many candidates a year, or the county order invigilator, even if there is any oil and water, where is it his turn to be an old pedant.

Therefore, satisfied, the old gentleman is very much to take the Zheng obedient official homework, these four books and five classics in the things to test the Zheng obedient official face to face, where to get the test, the natural answer is not very satisfactory to Mr., the obedient official is embarrassed to face red, fortunately in the teaching of the old gentleman for the sake of ten taels of silver, but kind, said that you are young, there happened to be such a thing at home, so it is Mr. I was negligent, but remember that no matter where the person is, the book is to be warm, and in the future, the examination of the national sub-supervisor, the examination of the palace, this will have to be solid!

After thousands of instructions, the old gentleman sent this student who had given him a huge bribe for the first time in decades to the door, waving his hand in the wind.

Bidding farewell to Mr. Goodbye, the obedient official went to the carriage shop again, asked the price of chartering two carriages to Tianjin, and then returned home.

That night, the Zheng family booked a table of three dollars of silver in a restaurant not far from Huaishu Hutong, and invited the neighbors to have a running water banquet, which is always a neighborhood, and they may not be able to meet in the future, and the furniture and benches at home are sent to people all in one go, and it is not good to take them to Tianjin and then take them to Ningbo by floating boat!

The next day, he asked a neighbor who was closest to him to keep the key, saying that when Zhao Fushen's small owner or Zhao Cangjing's old owner of Deyi Fang came, he would hand over the key to the other party.

This day, it is the ninth day of the ninth month of September, Chongyang ascends to the heights, and it is also the day to enjoy chrysanthemums, dogwoods, and flower cakes, just when the sky is clear, the blue sky is like washing, there are many people who help the old and the young out of the city one after another, and the Zheng family goes out of Daxing County in the flow of people.

At the same time, today's great emperor also enshrined the Empress Dowager Chen and the Empress Dowager Li to climb the Long Live Mountain, followed by the Empress Dowager Li, and there was a girl who had recently been named a concubine of the sixth grade, who was also in the royal queue, occasionally glancing at the young emperor, and there were soft smiles in the eyes of both sides.
