Liang Hezhen's clear eyes became deeper, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, as if he was moved and helpless, but more sad: "Lady, if I am destined to be in the turmoil in this life, are you willing to accompany me?" ”

He held her hands, his eyes burning and a little expectant.

Su Yunran was silent, neither in her previous life nor in this life, she had never yearned for vigorous. She is a person who loves life and enjoys life, she likes calm, and she doesn't like hustle and bustle.

In my previous life, my friends always said that if you are young, you will be crazy, and if you are not crazy, you will be old. But she thinks that life should be crazy, ordinary is true.

Her silence made Liang Hezhen let go of his hand: "Don't be in a hurry to answer, wait until you think about it before answering me." ”

The atmosphere seemed to begin to condense at this moment, and Su Yunran suddenly asked, "Xianggong, you obviously have also studied, why don't you go to the test for fame?" ”

In her opinion, Liang Hezhen is not only literate and hyphenated, it should be said that he has an article, otherwise the county order would not have taken a fancy to him and let him be a master. But such a person does not take the test for fame, but is willing to be a lonely and unknown master in the county government, she really can't figure it out.

Liang Hezhen turned his head to look at her, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes: "Gaining fame is not the only way out. ”

Su Yunran was puzzled again, this is a world where 'everything is inferior, only reading is high', but anyone who is a man has not sharpened his head and wants to enter the career. But he said that this is not the only way out, is it also a way out to be a staff member for the county commander?

Liang Hezhen didn't explain too much to her, and when he entered the town, he directly sent Su Yunran to Zhang's mansion.

"Why are you sad, have something on your mind?" After the follow-up visit, Xu Limo asked.

Su Yunran sighed: "I heard that there was going to be a war in the north, but I didn't expect that the people who would be most implicated in a war were the people. Taxes and grain will be increased, but this year's weather has been very dry. ”

Xu Limo had also heard about it: "The things set by the imperial court are not something that we ordinary people can change. Why, can't you pay your family's taxes and grain? ”

Su Yunran shook her head, she still had a lot of food in her space, and she could call it over. She has room to cheat, but what about the others? What happens if you can't hand it in?

Xu Limo said helplessly: "If you can't pay it, you can compromise on it, either draw Ding or exchange silver." Of course, this matter is not so absolute, and it mainly depends on the current situation of the war. If there is a shortage of people, make up for people, and make up for lack of money. Don't worry too much, if you can't pay the taxes and grain, I can help you find a way not to cry and mourn your face, it's not good-looking. ”

Su Yunran smiled: "Who cried and lost a face?" To be serious, Mr. Zhang's complexion has been much better recently, so I may have to be busy with my shop after this and I won't come here often. ”

Xu Limo nodded: "It seems that everything is almost ready?" ”

Su Yunran nodded: "Well, the furniture will be delivered in a few days, and you will have to appreciate your face when I open it." ”

"Little girl, I heard that you are going to open a restaurant?" Mr. Zhang, who has been ill for a long time, has been getting better and better recently, and he has less time to lie down.

"yes, I don't know anything else, so I thought maybe I could make some medicinal food. I don't know how long I can last, after all, there is no restaurant that specializes in medicinal diets. Su Yunran is indeed a little lacking in confidence now.

Medicinal food is inherently unfamiliar to the common people, not to mention that her shop is a little biased, and now she has bad luck and has encountered war. The tax grain has increased, and I don't know how many people can't even afford to eat, let alone eat her medicinal food.

The smile on Old Man Zhang's face as he stroked his beard did not decrease, although he did not show contempt when he first saw Su Yunran, he definitely did not pay much attention to it. But now it is different, he really feels that his body is slowly changing, and his attitude towards Su Yunran has naturally changed.

Before, I only thought that Mr. Zhang had been a feudal official, so he was serious and not angry, but now she is smiling, she looks a little like her grandfather.

"The little girl's skill is indeed good, but you should know that now that there is a war in the north, the imperial court urgently needs to obtain grain and grass, and I am afraid that the grain merchants everywhere have been hollowed out during this time. The people can't even eat, and the big families with money and food will never dare to be extravagant and wasteful at this time. ”

Old Man Zhang said a little tactfully, Su Yunran said with a smile: "I understand, but I believe in my fair judgment, he said that this battle can't be fought." ”

Old Man Zhang didn't do much, but Xu Limo smiled: "When did your father-in-law still have such a hand?" can pinch and calculate, no wonder he married you Chongxi, and he was really disrespectful to Liang Banxian. ”

Su Yun glanced at him: "What a half-immortal, he is the result of careful analysis." ”

Xu Limo was very disdainful, but Old Man Zhang was very interested: "Oh, then tell me, how did he analyze it?" ”

Su Yunran thought for a while and said, "Because I don't know much about this, he just told me very roughly. He said that the friction between Daqi and Chang Qingguo was actually to fight for a mineral vein on the border.

Although it is said that this vein spans the territory of the two countries, one country accounts for half of it. But everyone wants to swallow the entire ore vein alone, but the national strength of Chang Qingguo is not enough to drive away Daqi's border army, and vice versa, Daqi does not have this ability.

Once the two countries really go to war, then the first person to benefit is to chase the country. The country has always been in obscurity, and only now is it showing strength that should not be underestimated. Once Daqi and Changqing started a war, then the Yue Kingdom would definitely enjoy the benefits of the fisherman. ”

The imperial court is not unaware of this truth, but sometimes it has to respond to Chang Qingguo's provocation for the sake of a country's face. As a result, some battles have to be launched. When the two countries go to war and find out each other's strength, the war will be over.

Old Man Zhang's deep eyes changed from serious to appreciative, although Su Yunran didn't know much about the current military situation, but from Old Man Zhang's reaction, it could be judged that what Liang Hezhen said had been approved by him.

Old Man Zhang was silent for a moment and said, "You are a master in the Yamen?" ”

Su Yunran nodded, and Old Man Zhang said with some regret: "If these are all analyzed by him, then he should go and run for his own future." What future can you have as a master in the yamen, it is better to take the test for fame and make a fortune. ”

Su Yunran smiled and didn't answer, Old Man Zhang thought she didn't understand and said: "If he wants to make a name for himself, the old man can recommend him." ”

Su Yunran was a little flattered, the Zhang family is a family, even if he is far away from the court now, what he said still carries a lot of weight.

Xu Limo also looked at Old Man Zhang with some surprise: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and thank Master Zhang!" You don't know what Mr. Zhang's recommendation letter means! That is equivalent to eliminating the hospital examination and the township examination, and you can directly participate in the examination as a person.

Old Man Zhang wrote a letter of recommendation to a person before this, and later this person became the youngest official of the Great Qi Kingdom. Do you understand the weight of Mr. Zhang's recommendation letter? ”

Su Yunran knew that the Zhang family's status was transcendent, but he didn't expect that Old Man Zhang, a person who had stepped down from his official position, could still play a pivotal role in the imperial court.

"Thank you, old man, but I have to ask me what my husband means first." said so on his lips, but in his heart, he felt that Liang Hezhen had no idea about his career.

Master Zhang nodded and didn't say anything more, but Xu Limo felt very strange: "If your husband can be appreciated by the county order and hired as a master, then his literary talent is naturally not a problem." Then I wondered, since he has this ability, why has he not participated in the imperial examination for so many years? ”

Su Yunran smiled helplessly: "Are you curious?" I'm curious, too, why don't you ask for yourself? ”

Xu Limo touched his nose and shook his head: "Forget it, your family doesn't look at me well, so I won't be bored in front of him anymore." ”

Master Zhang suddenly interjected: "Have you thought of the name of your restaurant?" ”

Su Yunran nodded: "Xianggong gave me one, and it's called Zuiyunzhai." ”

————

Seven days later, Zuiyun Zhai opened to the sound of crackling firecrackers.

Su Yunran thought that this would be a bleak opening ceremony, but he didn't expect that many people would come on this day.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Su, this is a plaque that my father made for you with a pen in his hand. He wanted to come over, but I was afraid that there would be too many people in his body, so I didn't let him come. Don't be angry, this plaque is a gift from my father, and these are my gifts, please smile. ”

Zhang Qianyun said with a smile, and the little guy behind him carried a plaque, on which the handwriting was vigorous and powerful, comparable to that of a calligrapher.

Su Yunran called Liang Hezhen over in surprise: "Xianggong, look, this is the plaque that Old Man Zhang gave us." Old Man Zhang's technique is really a must, and he really deserves to be the first of the scholarly sects. ”

Zhang Qianyun didn't dare to be humble for his father, but smiled: "Mrs. Su is polite, I don't know what good dishes we can eat today?" ”

Su Yunran smiled: "Patronizing and talking, Zhang Gongzi please come inside!" After speaking, he asked people to help hang up the plaque written by Mr. Zhang.

"Xianggong, I didn't expect so many people to come today."

Liang Hezhen said with a smile: "If you want to say that the influence of the Zhang family is too great, let alone Old Man Zhang, Zhang Qianyun is enough to make most of the big people in Linzhou appreciate their faces." ”

Su Yunran smiled, how else to say that everyone in ancient and modern times wants to mix up a good connection?

"Mrs. Su, I was sent by Mrs. Zhao below. Hearing that Su Niangzi's medicinal food shop was opened, Mrs. sent a congratulatory gift. Mrs. wanted to come in person, but the little boy has been crying incessantly in recent days, so Mrs. had to give up and ask Mrs. Su for forgiveness. ”

Su Yunran thanked him, and told a few more words that the child's crying might be caused by the situation: "It's hard to come all the way, go in and take a break and eat something." ”

The person who sent it shook his head: "No, there is still something to stay in the army, and I ask Mrs. Su to stay." ”

Su Yunran ran to the kitchen with her skirt, wrapped it in oiled paper and called flower chicken and a few steamed buns for him to wear on the way to eat.

As soon as he was sent off, he turned around and saw a sedan chair with various colored tassels parked in front of Zuiyunzhai. The slender hand lifted the curtain, revealing a familiar face......
