Chapter 38: Do You Like Me?

"Opening? Where are you going to drive? Thorn State? ”

Gu Feng is in Tongzhou, although he can help Gu Zheng watch the sugar bureau in Thornzhou on weekdays, but he can't do it himself, as soon as he heard that Gu Zheng wanted to open a sugar bureau, his first thought was who to find to take care of it: "Brother Zhang Dahu helps you manage this sugar bureau now, if you really want to open another branch, the two of them are afraid that they will not be able to take care of the branch for you." ”

Gu Zheng smiled mysteriously: "I already have a candidate, the eldest brother only needs to help me prepare the sub-bureau." ”

Gu Feng was surprised: "Oh? Have you already chosen the candidate? ”

Gu Feng is Gu Zheng's most trusted person, Gu Zheng discussed everything with him first, and immediately told Gu Feng about Zhang Sheng's advantages: "Well, I think Zhang Sheng, the eldest aunt of the Liang family, is good, I talked to him a few times earlier......"

After hearing this, Gu Feng also admired Zhang Sheng, thinking that this kind of person who learned from scratch in a down-to-earth manner after planting his heels and had a talent for business himself could indeed help them in business.

So after Gu Feng summed it up in his heart, he immediately ordered the spoon to lay the paper and grind, while quickly calculating up and down, and calculating the cost of opening a branch on the paper: "Although it is only a branch office, the cost is not low!" I've done the math, and I'm afraid we're still a little short of the money we have. ”

Gu Zheng thought about it, and thought that it seemed that Zhang Sheng was a little harsh to him by only letting him be the shopkeeper, so it was better to pull Zhang Sheng into the gang and divide him with one or two shares, so that he would definitely do his best to take care of the sub-bureau: "It's better for us to let Zhang Sheng find a way to make up the little bit of silver, and we won't take his silver in vain, just give him some dry shares." In this way, he also has a copy of the sub-bureau, and we don't need to say that he will take care of it with all his heart. ”

Gu Feng also felt that Gu Zheng's method was good, which not only solved the problem of insufficient funds, but also tied Zhang Sheng to a boat, and the two quickly gave the charter for opening the branch.

Gu Zheng didn't go directly to Zhang Sheng to talk about this matter, so he went to the study to find Liang Jingxian first, and as soon as he went over, he found that Xiao Yurou was helping Liang Jingxian grind on the side of the case, and his heart suddenly felt a little unhappy, anyway, it was not good to ask Zhang Sheng for help in front of Xiao Yurou's face, Gu Zheng didn't even bother to say hello to Liang Jingxian, and left directly.

Gu Zheng rarely took the initiative to find Liang Jingxian, Liang Jingxian naturally would not miss this opportunity, so he immediately left Xiao Yurou and chased him out, making Xiao Yurou's face so angry that his face was blue and white, and he didn't even notice that his sleeves were stained with black ink, and he gritted his teeth with hatred for Gu Zheng, who suddenly appeared and disturbed her and Liang Jingxian alone.

Gu Zheng saw Liang Jingxian chasing after him, and his mood was a little better, but his mouth was sour: "Why are you following me out?" Won't you leave your precious cousin like this and make her feel left out? ”

Liang Jingxian still helplessly cleared up his relationship with Xiao Yurou, and took the opportunity to confess to Gu Zheng in a roundabout way: "You are more important than her, even if I snub her, I can't snub you." ”

"The ghost only believed what you said, you all had a tryst in the study behind my back," Gu Zheng said and suddenly felt that it seemed a little inappropriate for his nominal lady to say such a thing, and he was a little embarrassed to 'touch' the tip of his nose, and quickly changed his words to divert the topic: "I came to the study to find you because I wanted to ask you for help, but I didn't expect that I came at a bad time to disturb your tryst with your cousin......

"I'll go back first, and it's not too late for you to accompany your cousin back to Qiushuang Garden, and we'll talk about me again." Gu Zheng smiled apologetically at Liang Jingxian very insincerely, and after laughing, he turned around and slipped away without waiting for Liang Jingxian to speak.

Liang Jingxian quickly reached out and grabbed Gu Zheng's arm, in order to prevent Gu Zheng's misunderstanding of him from getting deeper and deeper, he subconsciously explained: "Don't go, since everyone has come here, why don't you accompany me to the garden?" Yurou and I are not what you think, she came to the study to borrow books from me, and after borrowing it, she had to stay and grind for me in order to thank me, and I couldn't get rid of it, so I didn't bother to let her take care of herself. ”

Although Gu Zheng was very arrogant and ignored Liang Jingxian, his footsteps spontaneously followed him to the garden, so that Liang Jingxian had a faint smile between his eyebrowsβ€”β€”β€” his bends would be jealous, it seemed that she didn't have any place for him in her heart, but she didn't seem to feel this yet.

No matter what, this discovery still made Liang Jingxian feel very happy, and he gently shook Gu Zheng's hand as he walked. Gu Zheng thought to herself that there were spoons behind them, how embarrassed would she be to see them?

As soon as he thought of this, Gu Zheng was a little embarrassed to try to break free of Liang Jingxian's hand, and protested awkwardly: "Go to the garden, go to the garden, you hurry up and take my hand?" Loosen up, it's not good to be seen! ”

"What's wrong with me holding my own lady's hand?" Liang Jingxian saw that the spoon was already very interesting and flashed away when he spoke, and immediately leaned into Gu Zheng's ear with a wicked smile, and the thin 'lips' were close to her ear: "Lady, you have 'touched' my whole body, but you don't allow me to hold your handβ€”β€”β€” only allow the governor to set fire and not allow the people to light the lamp, is this reasonable?" ”

Liang Jingxian's words made Gu Zheng's face burn hotly, and he pushed Liang Jingxian away with shame and annoyance: "Who 'touched' you!" What kind of system does the pull and pull of the blue sky and white day become? I'm not ashamed! ”

Liang Jingxian casually folded a 'jade' hairpin and 'flower' pinned it to Gu Zheng's sideburns, and his tone was not in shape: "I don't think you're too ashamed, have you forgotten?" You were ...... that night."

Gu Zheng's face is not as thick as Liang Jingxian, how can he withstand his repeated teasing, and immediately yelled at Liang Jingxian with his waist crossed in annoyance: "Liang Jingxian!" ”

I never thought that Liang Jingxian didn't take Gu Zheng's anger in his eyes at all, but suddenly bullied Gu Zheng, stared at Gu Zheng intently, and asked half-truthfully: "Wanwan, are you already in love with me?" ”

"Whew! I don't like you! Gu Zheng glared at Liang Jingxian angrily as he spoke, but after staring at him, he felt a little weak, and hurriedly turned his head sideways and pretended to appreciate the brilliant peony 'medicine' beside him, and turned his back to Liang Jingxian to divert the topic: "I have something serious to do with you, don't play poor with me, let's talk about serious thingsβ€”β€”β€” my brother and I both appreciate the talent of my eldest brother-in-law, and I want to invite him to join the new sugar bureau I plan to open, and he will help me take care of the branch." ”

Liang Jingxian also felt that after Zhang Sheng learned the lesson of being deceived for the first time, he was now a good talent, and he supported Gu Zheng's idea very much: "Well, the eldest brother-in-law is a good candidate...... But you're going to start a game? Is the cost enough? Would you like to dial some from me? ”

"No, I'm not short of silver for the time being." Gu Zheng and Liang Jingxian are not a real husband and wife, how can she use Liang Jingxian's money confidently?

Liang Jingxian was not reluctant, and only asked about Zhang Sheng again: "You told your eldest brother-in-law?" ”

Gu Zheng shook his head: "It's not convenient for me to go and say it's a little inconvenient, or you go to him for me, set up a table in Baole Zhai and invite him, and tell him about this matter for me during the banquet." ”

Liang Jingxian has always been very concerned about Gu Zheng's affairs, and soon helped her invite Zhang Sheng to Baole Zhai to discuss in detail. As soon as he heard that Gu Zheng was willing to give him a chance to take care of the sub-bureau, he was 'spirited' and agreed, and immediately discussed the specific details with Liang Jingxian.

I never thought that when Zhang Sheng went back, he asked Second Mrs. Liang and begged Second Mrs. Liang to lend him some capital, but Second Mrs. Liang refused him on the spot, refusing to borrow some capital to let Zhang Sheng take this rare opportunity to show his strength.

Zhang Sheng couldn't figure out how to think about it, and rarely refused to do what Mrs. Liang wanted, and for the first time in front of her, he went to the bottom of the matter: "Mother, you also know that the third brother and sister have always been good at making money, and even if they don't make money, they have never lost money in the business they have, and now she is willing to give me this opportunity and let me join the branch of the Sugar Bureau, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me!" ”

"Think about it, as long as I take the capital into the branch, I will be able to return the capital in less than half a year, and then I will be able to earn the money I owe you before, and the silver I will earn in the future will be ......" Zhang Sheng originally wanted to say that he could send the silver earned in the future to the Zhang family, but he didn't dare to mention the subsidy to the Zhang family in front of the second Mrs. Liang, so he could only temporarily change his words and say: "In short, no matter how much I think about it, I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to prove that I have the ability, and I ask my mother to agree to my cooperation with my third brother and sister!" ”

It's a pity that Second Mrs. Liang has another plan in her heart, as soon as she saw that Zhang Sheng said that the prospects were so good, she was afraid that he would slowly become stronger after cooperating with Gu Zheng, and finally hardened her wings and gave birth to the idea of establishing her own 'door', and in the end she and Second Master Liang were left behind......

But Second Mrs. Liang was reluctant to give up such an opportunity to make money, so she quickly summed it up in her heart, and still insisted on her original intention not to let Zhang Sheng and Gu Zheng cooperate: "After calling you back from the shop, Yuan Niang will take over for you to take care of the big and small matters of the shop, if you go to help San Lang's daughter-in-law 'wife' again, then there will be no one around meβ€”β€”β€” I and your father have not been in good health, how can there be no one around to 'serve'?" ”

Zhang Sheng also wants to fight for a chance for himself: "But I ......"

Zhang Shengcai said two words and was ruthlessly interrupted by Mrs. Liang: "This is also a good opportunity for our house to make money, I will go to talk to Sanlang's daughter-in-law 'wife' in detail, and cooperate with her in my name, you don't have to get involved in this matter anymore, it is only right for me to study at home!" ”

As soon as Zhang Sheng heard that Second Lady Liang wanted to leave him alone and cooperate with Gu Zheng alone, he immediately became anxious: "Mother, you can't do this, the third brother and sister named me to help, and she ......"

"You don't have to say more, I have my own opinions on this matter, you don't have to 'worry' anymore," after the second lady Liang made a domineering decision for Zhang Sheng, she didn't forget to beat him with words: "Since you have joined my Liang family, it is equivalent to my Liang family's daughter-in-law 'wife', you must obediently 'serve' your father-in-law and mother-in-law at home, read the book well and win glory for our second room, so as not to waste our cultivation of you!" ”

The reason why Second Mrs. Liang didn't give Zhang Sheng a chance to earn money, and only focused on letting him gain fame was because if Zhang Sheng could really get out of high school, he would still be inseparable from the protection of the Liang family in the end, and he still had to rely on the power and connections of the Liang family.

Zhang Sheng was unwilling to give up this rare opportunity like this, so he disobeyed the meaning of Second Mrs. Liang for the first time: "If my mother refuses to lend me the capital, forget it, I will think about it myself." ”

As soon as Zhang Sheng spoke, Second Mrs. Liang slapped the table with an angry face, and shouted: "It's the other way around, it's the other way around, you dare not listen to my mother-in-law?!" If you don't listen to me, then pay back the money I paid for your Zhang family, and then get out of the Liang family for me and go back to your Zhang family to live a poor life! ”

Zhang Sheng did not show weakness at all, looked at Second Mrs. Liang with a stubborn face, and used silence as a confrontation.

Second Mrs. Liang saw that she had talked about this, Zhang Sheng still didn't bow her head to her and admit her mistake, so angry that she picked up the tea cup on the table and threw it at him: "And the clothes on your body!" You're going to have to take it off for me! You ungrateful thing! Have you forgotten how I helped your Zhang family out of the predicament in the first place? ”

"Let me tell you, San Lang's daughter-in-law is also a member of our Liang family, do you think she will give you this opportunity after you leave the Liang family? Don't be delusional, without our Liang family, you are nothing, and no one will look at you in their eyes! ”

Second Mrs. Liang's words made Zhang Sheng's face very ugly, and the hands hanging on both sides were clenched tightly, and even his originally 'straight' body trembled slightly, as if he was trying his best to control his emotions......

Zhang Sheng owed the Liang family in the end, so he was silent for a moment and finally chose to swallow his anger, and accepted the arrangement of the second lady Liang obediently: "I listen to my mother's arrangement, and my mother can do whatever she wants." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Liang to speak, Zhang Sheng retreated silently, and stood under the scorching sun for a long time after leaving the courtyard where Mrs. Liang lived, and finally slowly raised his head to meet the scorching sun at noon, and the dazzling white light poured into his eyes, making his eyes sour and sour, and tears flowed out unconsciouslyβ€”β€”β€” at this moment Zhang Sheng secretly vowed in his heart that he would get ahead in the future, so that people who looked down on him today would no longer dare to underestimate him!
