Zhang Dingya easily returned to his home last night, and he drank a thousand glasses of wine with his confidant, so he drank happily.

He relied on his youth and vigor, his body was good, and when he woke up, he didn't even feel dizzy, but when he heard this question, he immediately felt heavy on his head and chest, so he had to count it with his fingers, and the decimal number was counted.

was asked by Gu Yanzhang so coldly, and saw Ji Qingling sitting on the side, very concerned, he really felt a little nervous for no reason, as if he went to school when he was a child, was caught by his master and asked about his homework, and he couldn't answer anything, he was anxious and busy, he had to turn around and find his own relatives, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Zhang Wu!" ”

Soon a man walked in from outside.

Zhang Dingya hurriedly instructed: "My burden, the one I threw on the bedside table, go and get it!" ”

The man answered, and after a while, he brought over a burden, less than a foot long and wide, and it was half full, but it looked like it had some weight, and he could send it in, and then he withdrew.

Zhang Dingya took the burden, regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one, he saw that there was a large table on the side, and immediately went forward, pushed the tea tray on it, and opened the baggage, and when he saw that everything was there, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and grinned at Gu and Ji, and patted the table very arrogantly: "It's all here!" I didn't lose anything! ”

Ji Qingling stepped forward, and saw the first few crumpled silver tickets, seven or eight ingots of gold, and a few pieces of silver, together with seven and all scattered post coupons, official certificates, etc., piled up in one place, which was unbearable to look at.

The next ones are all decimals, not worth mentioning, Ji Qingling first counted out the silver tickets, and calculated in his heart, the total is only six or seven hundred taels, plus gold, it is not a thousand taels, although this number is not small at first glance, let others to judge, relying on his own strength, he has only been an official for a few years, but he can save such a lot of money in his twenties, and he must feel that it is not easy.

But Ji Qingling is more and more wrong.

She turned her head to look at Gu Yanzhang.

Gu Yanzhang was born in a merchant, he was illiterate, he would count, he swept his eyes, immediately frowned, raised his head and asked: "I don't bother with you first, last time in Yanzhou Poyeli tribe, the court gave three hundred silver, the first time in Yongzhou, His Majesty gave one hundred gold, that is, you slaughter a sheep every day in Yanzhou and Yongzhou to eat, beat two catties of wine and drink, and it can't cost eleven, you haven't been out of the camp for a few days, and you can't spend money in the camp, how can this be left?" ”

Zhang Dingya's face was bitter when he heard this.

You ask me, and who do I ask?!

He has known Gu Yanzhang since he met, almost all major choices are influenced by him, and he also follows him when he turns around, he used to go to Yanzhou to join the army to listen to his advice, and later went south to quell the rebellion to ask his opinion, as for the use of cavalry, chasing thieves on the border, it was all explained by this brother.

Zhang Dingya is a loose character, he recognizes a thing, he must do it from the beginning to the end, and he will never give up until he comes out, but he only has big things in his heart, important things, how can he care about such small and trivial things.

For him, money is not a trivial matter!

The court rewarded the silver, and the Son of Heaven gave gold, isn't it just to spend it?!

As for how much was given, and how much was spent on one's own family - where is the effort to remember! Isn't there anything left! It's not all gone!

The dragon gave birth to nine sons, the children are different, there are thousands of people in the world, there are Yanzhang who can afford to take and put down, everything is in the mind, and naturally there are people like themselves who only remember big things and don't remember small things, and they don't have a family, they all say that they have started a family, they have not started a family, how to start a business!

It's Yanzhang, isn't it also after my sister in the same season became a parent, and she soared into the sky!

It can be seen that it is not your own sin!

However, if this is the case, Zhang Dingya only dared to whisper in his heart, and he knew that it was wrong, so he shrunk his hands and feet to the side, and did not dare to raise his head, only wilting.

Seeing that Zhang Dingya couldn't let out a fart for half a day, Gu Yanzhang knew that this one was not a good bird, and shouted: "Zhang Wu! ”

Outside the hall, Zhang Wu's fingers on the pillars of the porch trembled.

Rosin stood beside him.

When the two were in Yongzhou for half a year, they had already become acquainted, and at this time, Rosin Xiang saw that the old acquaintance's face was full of "help", and she couldn't help but laugh in her heart.

In the end, he was a little unbearable, and kindly reminded in a whisper: "Where are the account books of your family officials?" You hurry up and listen to me, and I'll go back in a minute, and I'll go and get it for you." ”

Zhang Wuzheng walked to the hall, turned around to find Rosin to confess, the panic on his face had not disappeared, he heard the word account book, his expression turned shocked, and he whispered: "There is only one official in my family, and you also want an account book?" What is to be done with the books? ”

Get!

Rosin had no choice but to reply with a "good self-sufficient" expression, seeing him enter the door, he had to send a sentence in his heart, "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold".

Let's say that Zhang Wu entered the hall, restrained his hands and feet and saluted, half-bowed his head, and didn't dare to take a breath of air, but only asked in a low voice: "Gouyuan, are you looking for something small?" ”

Sure enough, I heard the one ask from the court: "Where is the account book in your family's official mansion?" ”

At this moment, Zhang Wu only hopes that when his officials named themselves in the past, they would change the word and call Zhang Wen, but it really doesn't work, Zhang Shu is good, no matter how useless it is, he just changed it to Zhang Xian, cast an immortal method, and change the account book.

He had no choice but to look up at Zhang Dingya and asked, "Official, do we have account books in our house?" ”

……

……

Books of accounts are impossible.

A master and a servant scratched their ears and scratched their cheeks and recalled here for a long time, piecing together, but they couldn't remember how they spent so many silver taels.

Zhang Dingya is only busy marching and fighting, where is there spare time to manage the money, Zhang Wu is a rough man, he can remember to bring all the money with him, and he will not leak it in the house, which is already very effective.

The money in the barracks has always been mixed, Zhang Dingya is different from Gu Yanzhang, the latter has a great reputation in the camp, everyone knows his ability, and admires his actions, but in his heart he consciously opens a "degree" with it, while the former has never mingled with the soldiers.

When the soldier had something to do, he came in to ask for some money, and he gave it without blinking an eye.

As for the money, whether it was to drink wine, eat meat, or go where to do something, it is unknown.

Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but have a headache, so he had to send Zhang Wu out, approached the table, picked out a silver ticket with the smallest denomination from it, took out two more pieces of gold, and finally put the burden together, turned to Zhang Dingya and asked, "Do you want to take care of your own family, or what?" ”

Zhang Dingya was so smart that he immediately shouted: "Yanzhang! Where do you keep your money? ”

Gu Yanzhang was really proud in his heart, but he couldn't show it, so he only said very reservedly: "Feel free to take care of her at my mother's place." ”

Zhang Dingya hurriedly turned to Ji Qingling and begged: "Sister Ji, I will put Yulu here for you every month, you take 30% for me for pocket use, and leave the rest in your hands, how can you do it, is it appropriate?" ”

And he said, "For the sake of the two birds that day, help me this time!" ”

Ji Qingling pursed her lips and smiled when she heard it.

She discussed with Gu Yanzhang the day before yesterday, because this big brother Zhang is really unreliable, if he spends it so lavishly, it is a trivial matter if the money is gone, and An Zhi will not cause trouble because of the money.

At this time, she heard that there were so many places to reward silver, and she couldn't help but think about a bowl of rice, fighting rice hatred, everything to save the emergency not to help the poor, she saw Zhang Dingya look like a baba, and did not tell him to be anxious, only said softly: "Brother Zhang, I and the fifth brother bought a house outside the Fengqiu Gate, I see that the houses and land in the capital are getting more and more expensive, although the Fengqiu Gate is far away, it is not next to the Bianhe River, but it is the Wuzhang River to go forward for a while, and it is barely convenient to enter and exit the inner city, and it may not be the second Zhujiaqiao tile after one or two decades. ”

And said: "We have little money, and save for another one or two decades, even if there is no rest of the expenses at home, we may not be able to afford the property in the inner city, but we can buy the outside of the Qiu Gate, and we can barely make up enough, I called someone to see it a few days ago, and I just gave the letter back, there are still a few houses in that place, and there are also suitable ones, just today to rest, it is better to hit the day than to hit the day, I and the fifth brother and Brother Zhang went to see the house together, if it is proper, even if it is settled, even if it cannot rise much silver in the future, but it also falls into an industry, When we take it to live in the future, the two families live close to each other and it is convenient to move around, but I don't know what Brother Zhang thinks? ”

Zhang Dingya's mind has never been long in that place, and when he heard Ji Qingling say such a thing at this time, he only felt that every sentence was full of truth, although he didn't know what the truth was, he only knew that even if Yanzhang gave Sister Ji Lu a little bit, then he would follow it, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Besides, he has always known that his sister is smart, a stupid person in his own family, and he should not join in this fun, and it is important to throw away the silver money that will be spent cleanly as soon as it is in his own hands, so he will only echo and say: "My sister is right!" ”

Sure enough, the three of them braved the sun to go to Fengqiu Gate to take a look, and not far from the courtyard that Ji and Gu bought, they purchased a three-entry courtyard with a garden, because Zhang Dingya's hand was not enough money, and he happened to meet Ganzhou to send a round of silver, and Ji Qingling took that sum and paid half of it.

With such a relationship between the two families, Zhang Dingya is not a twisted person, he only thanked him seriously, and he didn't do that ugly and pretentious behavior, which left and right in his heart, whether it was his own family or Yanzhang, or Sister Ji, in fact, there was no difference between him and his brothers and sisters.

***

At this time, Zhang Dingya naturally didn't know that he gave the silver money to Ji Qingling to help with it this time, and twenty years later, what kind of result would be made, calling him a person who has no obsession with gold and silver, and then every time he thought of this day, he couldn't help but laugh out loud in nobody.

As long as he gets any one person in exchange for this move and makes any wrong step, there will be completely different results.

At this time, the price of the inner city industry and houses in the capital is more expensive than one day, but as long as it crosses an inner city wall, the price is a heaven and an underground, and the Fengqiu Gate is not close to the Bianhe River, nor is it close to the Jinshui River and the Cai River, which is the Wuzhang River, and it is necessary to walk a long way to get it, which is the lowest price.

The same silver money, in the rest of the place can only buy five of the land of one or two, but in the new seal Qiu Gate, not only the house is large, the area is wide, the orientation, the layout is also excellent.

And in exchange for a person, how dare and how can he be willing to borrow thousands of taels of silver from others to buy a house that his own family may not be able to use for several years, or even more than ten years, when his own family only has hundreds of taels of silver?

If you are a person who makes your own opinions, you have to go out to inquire and weigh it, and it is difficult to guarantee whether the house will be bought or not.

Only that Zhang Dingya, because he has a pure heart, as long as he recognizes a person, he believes it wholeheartedly, does not question, does not twist, and is not hypocritical, others are good to him, he accepts them all, only in his heart, and also repays a sincere heart, such a two-way relationship, as long as he meets the right person, the two sides are honest, and they are invincible.

***

The three of them looked at the house, paid the money, and waited for the Chinese to go to the Kyoto Prefecture to change their names and surnames, change their names, and put this aside in advance.

Let's say that the three of them have eaten, and they only sit and drink cool drinks, because Ji Qingling thought about what the hawker said the day before, and while Gu and Zhang were both there, he couldn't help but say: "Yesterday I heard someone on the side of the road say that the guards in Beijing are very useless, but I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

He turned his head to the Zhang Dingya and asked, "Brother Zhang, I saw the forbidden army fighting against the war elephants yesterday, but it was really in a hurry, I don't know how to deal with it, or is it really ineffective?" ”

Hearing her question, Zhang Dingya glanced at Gu Yanzhang and laughed in unison.

Zhang Dingya said: "In your opinion, if Yanzhang and I want to join the forbidden army, can we enter?" ”

Ji Qingling glanced at Gu Yanzhang first, and then at Zhang Dingya.

Both of them are good at riding and archery, and they don't know how many times they have fought against the enemy on the battlefield, and they have both experience and ability, even if they are physically fit, they can't find any faults.

She said without hesitation: "You can enter!" ”

Zhang Dingya shook his head and laughed: "You are wrong, neither I nor Yanzhang can enter the forbidden army." ”

Ji Qingling was stunned when she heard this, and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Zhang Dingya didn't sell it, but smiled: "Who told me that the two of us are not white enough." ”

Gu Yanzhang smiled and explained to her: "Since the time of the first emperor, the selection of the forbidden army in Beijing is the most important three of 'white skin', 'beautiful appearance' and 'high stature'. ”
