Chapter 126: Watch out for the villain
After arranging the opening and packing, Xu Yongzhi took a 500 salt lead, and did not bring anyone, he sneaked out of the mansion and went to Zhang Dejun's residence, which is the outer residence of Zhang Dahu, the richest man in the local area and a silk merchant, and was borrowed by Xu Yongzhi to make a pavilion to entertain important guests from Tokyo.
"Adults are parents and officials we haven't seen for a hundred years, and our lives are all given by adults, can we still ask adults for money?"
There is an element of flattery in his words, but when he thinks of the protection he provides to the people and businessmen of Zezhou, he will feel a little fluttering about saving the world.
Fortunately, our Xu Gongzi will remind himself: warlords all grew up like this, at first they protected others, and then they felt that the whole world should let themselves protect, so they sent troops from all sides.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly told himself that he should give money or have to give, and finally forcibly stuffed Zhang Dahu with a friendship price, Zhang Dahu is a very knowledgeable person, and directly doubled the money, just waiting for Xu Yongzhi to leave, buy sheep and wine to labor the army, and let you receive this favor.
Xu Yongzhi walked to the back door of the house and gently knocked on the door knocker.
Zhang Dahu didn't just throw a set of rough houses to Xu Yongzhi, the maids, mothers-in-law, and servants were among them, and the one in charge was a big maid from Zhang Dahu's family, this girl was called Ah Zhen, who heard the back door and thought secretly, knowing that it was his own people who came over, and asked softly.
"Who?"
"Ah Zhen, it's me."
"Master Xu!"
"What is the old man who is not the old man, help me inform Grandpa Zhang, I will visit."
"Can't you just come in?" Ah Zhen said.
"No, even though it's only for one day, this house is also the residence of Grandpa Zhang, so report it seriously." Xu Yongzhi said.
Ah Zhen looked at this hot day, and was really worried that Xu Yongzhi's sun would be damaged, so she quickly pulled out her legs and went inside.
"Grandpa Zhang!" Ah Zhen asked softly.
Zhang Dejun just put a table of dishes in the house, Zhang Dahu's cook is good, don't look at this small place in Zezhou, but the craftsmanship is not worse than the big restaurant in Bianliang.
Zhang Dejun opened the door.
"Hmmm......"
When I came in just now, it was Xu Yongzhi's people who brought it over, and then it was the old adult servants in this courtyard, Ah Zhen and a group of girls, who saluted in the crowd from a distance, and went to get busy.
Now, when Zhang Dejun saw this girl running through the small garden through the back door, her face was full of crimson, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
This girl is good.
The size is only counted, but it is really white, there is a little freckle on the face, but it is not annoying at all, the hair is a little light gold, which is natural, two small dimples, and a lovely face in the shape of a heart.
"What's your name?" Zhang Dejun asked with a grin.
Zhang Dejun is a strong muscular man among the eunuchs, although he has entered the palace, he still likes women.
In the Tang and Song dynasties, such eunuchs were not uncommon, Gao Lishi was a general, and Tong Guan in the late Northern Song Dynasty was also a eunuch and a commander - if he was born strong, even if he did not have a little brother, he could command a thousand troops.
It is very different from the situation of the eunuchs of the Qing Dynasty.
This is related to the ancient purification technique, before the Ming Dynasty, the castration of eunuchs was basically to remove the ** of men or boys, or tie **, so that they lose their function.
The risk of such a semi-purification is small, and the degree of injury of the eunuch is light.
But the problem also arises, although some eunuchs have lost their fertility, but some people retain their sexual function, Wei Zhongxian of the Ming Dynasty is like this, he is nearly thirty years old and enters the palace, and after entering, he and the emperor's nurse get along with the two of them - that can still be used!
Later, when he came to the Qing Dynasty, he learned this lesson, and the eunuchs all purged their bodies and went to the general trend.
There is an idiom called "the general trend has gone", which is talking about this kind of tragic operation, fortunately, the castration technology of the Qing Dynasty has been developed relatively well, and the mortality rate has also been reduced, but the eunuchs of the Qing Dynasty will still leave a lot of sequelae, and they are very easy to pee their pants.
"Father-in-law! The slave's name is Ah Zhen. Ah Zhen answered.
"Huh? Ah Zhen, what's your last name? Zhang Dejun continued to ask.
"What does the slave have a surname, my father-in-law will have whatever my surname says." Ah Zhen said.
This is true, Ah Zhen doesn't know what her father's surname is, she has grown up in Gou Li since she was a child, and when she was eight or nine years old, her mother thought that there was no way out for girls in this industry, so she sold her to be a maid, and was bought by Zhang Dahu.
"Then it's better for you to have the surname Qian." Zhang Dejun said with a grin.
There's nothing wrong with it, my father-in-law loves money.
"Thank you for your name!" Ah Zhen was also obedient, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Dejun.
"Get up...... Get up and ......" Zhang Dejun helped Qian Zhenzhen up and took a closer look.
Red red, white white, it's really beautiful.
"What do you think of me?" Zhang Dejun said.
"Huh?" Qian Zhenzhen had already seen what Zhang Dejun meant, but she still pretended to be surprised.
"Be my daughter-in-law." Zhang Dejun said.
"This ...... Are you a father-in-law, is it okay......" Qian Zhenzhen really doesn't understand, there are no eunuchs in Zezhou, everyone only heard that there are eunuchs in legendary dramas, and the old people explained that eunuchs are people who serve the emperor and can't get married.
"As I said, if I make a meritorious service, the official family will let me marry a wife." Zhang Dejun said.
"This ...... Does it really work? I'm just such a girl in a small town......" Qian Zhenzhen is still a little twisted.
"I'll go tell Xu Yongzhi that he is my brother." Zhang Dejun said.
He really misunderstood, he thought that Qian Zhenzhen was Xu Yongzhi's maid or concubine, this is not surprising, from the five dynasties to the Song Dynasty, the generals were more lustful than the other, and it was normal to grab two women to sleep with them.
"Ahh Qian Zhenzhen remembered that Xu Yongzhi was still standing outside the back door.
"Lord Xu is still waiting outside the back door." Qian Zhenzhen panicked.
"Why don't you let him in?" Zhang Dejun said.
"He said, you are the master of this house now, and he is a guest when he comes to visit, so he naturally has to report it." Qian Zhenzhen said.
"My brother is inevitably too sensible, you come with me to meet him!" Zhang Dejun said with a smile.
Xu Yongzhi stood for a long time, thinking to himself, Zhang Dejun was too much, although he was very well cultivated, but he was sweating profusely, and he also felt wronged.
After a while, I saw Zhang Dejun walking out quickly.
"Brother, didn't you kill me, you are an assassin, standing outside the back door waiting for me, I am simply not a human being." Zhang Dejun suddenly changed his face.
Qian Zhenzhen took two hand towels, cold and hot, to Xu Yongzhi, Xu Yongzhi wiped his face, much more comfortable.
"This girl is so good at taking care of people." Zhang Dejun looked at it with a grin.
"Yes, Ah Zhen, thank you." Xu Yongzhi said.
"My lord, don't dare, the slave can't afford it......" Ah Zhen hurriedly politely.
"Brother, come in, come in, I just put the wine on the table, and I knew you were coming." Zhang Dejun pulled Xu Yongzhi into his room.
"Give my brother a wide coat, and we can eat and drink freely." Zhang Dejun instructed Ah Zhen.
The two of them took off their official clothes, sat down to eat and drink, and after eating three cups, Xu Yongzhi took out the five hundred pieces of salt.
"Brother, brother, I was in a hurry just now, and I didn't prepare local souvenirs for you, this is a trivial matter, you just take it and buy a bag of tea for the brothers below." Xu Yongzhi said.
If the money does not say "give you a big gift", it should be said that it is paid for the people below.
"Brother, what are you talking about? You don't think that I refuse to eat and drink at your place in the morning, but I am giving you a look, and I am ready to ask you for money, hahahahaha. Zhang Dejun said.
Xu Yongzhi thought, if you want money, you still have to be so clear water hibiscus, you are also thick-skinned enough.
"Brother, what did you say, when you come to Zezhou, I should take you around, play, and eat local specialties, but as you said, the official family wants us to go back quickly, so I thought about getting you some plates, and let you take the people around you out for a walk, it is not easy to serve inside, the responsibility is great, the pressure is great, and the life is also hard, my brother knows it." Xu Yongzhi said.
"Brother, you are too polite," Zhang Dejun said, bringing salt into his sleeve, "I'll toast my brother." ”
Xu Yongzhi drank this glass of wine, thinking that there would be a lot of big troubles when he returned to Tokyo, and he was also speechless.
"That woman, is she a concubine or a maid?" Zhang Dejun suddenly asked.
Xu Yongzhi's mind was full of the aunt's wife and the little master at home, thinking that Zhang Dejun was asking Sister Qiao, and he was so frightened that he sweated.
Do the officials know about it?
"Brother, you're talking about ......" this kind of thing, don't rush to answer.
If Zhangkou comes to "the minister deserves to die, the minister deceived the official", he will suffer a loss.
"Well......" Zhang Dejun pointed out the door with his chin.
"Who?" Xu Yongzhi asked.
"Zhenzhen!" Zhang Dejun said.
Xu Yongzhi's heart can be put down.
"Oh! You, you, you, you're talking about her! Xu Yongzhi said.
"Who else could it be?" Zhang Dejun said strangely.
"No, no, no." Xu Yongzhi hurriedly gathered his mind.
"I'm serving the official family now, and I'm very busy at work, and now I'm the head of the western class, and I already meet the conditions for staying outside, but you also know that we, the internal servants, are not easy to find someone to take care of life, I saw Zhenzhen just now, and I also saw it at a glance, I don't know if my brother is willing to cut his love?" Zhang Dejun said politely, but in terms of posture, it really cannot be refused.
This kid has really swelled up in the past six months. Xu Yongzhi thought secretly.
"Brother, if this is my brother's maid, I will give it to you without saying a word. But this is the maid of Zhang Dahu in this state, and this house is also rented by me, so I have to ask this girl what she means. Xu Yongzhi said.
"Well said, well said." Zhang Dejun sat back vigorously, picked up the bowl and drank tea.
This is a bad sign, Zhang Dejun felt that Xu Yongzhi played an official tone, and he also played an official tone.
"I'll just ask." Xu Yongzhi said.
He walked out the door, the ornament in the corridor was still shaking, Zhenzhen should have been waiting here just now, and now she is out.
Walking all the way to the small garden, I saw the big sun under the ground, where Zhenzhen was standing.
"Miss Zhenzhen." Xu Yongzhi spoke cautiously.
"Lord Xu, don't want a girl, I'm just a maidservant." Zhenzhen looked a little angry.
"Grandpa Zhang has a proposal, I want to ask your opinion." Xu Yongzhi asked.
"I hear you." Zhenzhen said.
"Father-in-law Zhang wants to marry you, are you willing?" Xu Yongzhi said.
"Lord Xu, the slave family has a question for you, I want to hear your truth." Zhenzhen said.
"Please."
"Have you ever had a woman?" Zhenzhen asked.
"Yes." Xu Yongzhi replied honestly, thinking that it was really not a pleasant experience.
"So you know what men and women are all about, right?" Zhenzhen asked.
"Hmm...... Know. Xu Yongzhi said.
"I've had men too, and I know what's going on with men and women. Then why are you interceding for him? Let me marry a eunuch and keep a widow? Zhenzhen asked.
"This ...... I think some women may be willing to accept that he is young, healthy, well-paid (this lady just gave him 500 yuan), and works next to the chief...... And many girls actually don't care that much about that. Xu Yongzhi said.
"Of course I do! If you don't touch her, you don't love her! She doesn't let you touch it, she doesn't love you! Zhenzhen said.
"I'm sorry, it seems that I paid attention to the psychology of the wrong girl." Xu Yongzhi said.
It wasn't that Zhenzhen complained about him, he was sad that he suddenly thought of Duan Meimei, could it be that he resisted her body because he really didn't love her?
"Then I'll go back and go......" Xu Yongzhi turned his head and walked slowly.
There is a saying that "if you don't do it, you won't be a guarantor, and if you don't be a matchmaker, it's good for three generations", Xu Yongzhi secretly scolded himself for being stupid over and over again.
Let people call Zhang Dahu, and let Zhang Dejun talk to Zhang Dahu!
It's a matter of buying and selling.
It's because I always think about each woman's feelings, and as a result, every woman is dissatisfied with herself!
He walked listlessly to Zhang Dejun's room, and then heard Zhenzhen calling him from behind.
"The surname is Xu!"
"This girl is really gone, and the adults don't call anymore." Xu Yongzhi thought secretly.
"What's the matter with you?" Xu Yongzhi said.
"Can't you afford to mess with that father-in-law?" Zhenzhen asked.
"It's not!" Xu Yongzhi said.
"And say no," said Zhenzhen, "your legs are shaking." ”
She didn't know that Xu Yongzhi thought of her own trouble.
"If you're good with me once, I'll marry him." Zhenzhen said.
"Nope." Xu Yongzhi said.
"You're afraid of him?" Zhenzhen asked.
"No, I'm afraid of you......" Xu Yongzhi said honestly, he was really afraid of women.
"Hahaha." Zhenzhen looked at him.
This handsome face, this young and promising, if only he could follow Master Xu.
"So, you buy me." Zhenzhen said.
"And then?" Xu Yongzhi said.
"I changed my surname to Xu and be your sister." Zhenzhen said.
"Interesting, and then?" Xu Yongzhi said.
"Then I will marry him, and with you as a backer, I can keep his position as his wife." Zhenzhen said.
Xu Yongzhi looked at this girl, Zhang Dahu's family is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there is such a powerful maid.
"I don't really have to worry about it." Xu Yongzhi said.
"You two brothers, it's the dew brothers." Zhenzhen said with a smile.
Xu Yongzhi stopped, and Zhenzhen was right.
"I can also help you, Master Xu, I will go to Grandpa Zhang as your sister, you are serious in-laws, even if you don't want to be too close to Zhang Dejun, I am there, I can help you block the villain." Zhenzhen said.
"Deal." Xu Yongzhi looked back at Zhenzhen.
This puff puff's face is still a little pretty.
It's not terrible to be greedy for fame and fortune, to be straightforward, it's a person who is easy to deal with.
