Chapter Ninety-Three: Plan Ahead
、、、、、、、、、、 Zhang Golang? After measuring my own outfit, I won't talk about the dress, but the hair is a ponytail, it's okay to be with people, and it's impossible to see outsiders. I had to take a comb in Mrs. Cen's room, put my hair in a simple bun, inserted a silver hairpin in my hand, and He Zhizhong accompanied him out to see Zhang Wulang.
Zhang Wulang sat in the middle hall of the He family, holding the teapot and looking at the surrounding decorations generously. It was the first time he had come to He's house, and the decoration of He's house was not as gorgeous and eye-catching as he and his group of brothers had guessed behind their backs, and there was gold and silver everywhere, but he was a man who knew things, and knew that these half-used furniture were actually good things, and the fragrant mountain made of sugar knots and incense was even more rare.
Shiro and Da Lang sat beside him, and when they saw him looking at the fragrant mountain, they enthusiastically told him about some old things and some strange spices when they went to sea to buy spices. Although Zhang Wulang often mingled in Shiro's shop and was quite familiar with these spices, he didn't understand the subtleties very well, but he was willing, so they talked very warmly.
It wasn't until Peony followed He Zhizhong into the middle hall that several people stopped talking, Zhang Wulang quickly glanced at the person in his heart, and stepped forward to greet He Zhizhong, and then hugged his fist to Peony to say hello, He Zhizhong held him up, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, the virtuous nephew quickly sit down and talk." ”
Peony blessed him with a blessing, and shouted with a smile: "Fifth Brother Zhang." ”
Zhang Wulang smiled when he saw her, and felt as if a peony flower had suddenly bloomed in front of him, he couldn't see enough, he couldn't care about anything, he glanced at the peony first before retracting his gaze, and responded very seriously.
After the guest sat down, Shiro said with a smile: "Today, Danniang went to my shop and asked me to send guys to various temples and Taoist temples to inquire about peony flowers. I couldn't ask for any reason, but Gorou heard about it here, and asked his friends and brothers to find a way, so he found out something useful. ”
Zhang Wulang saw Peony's beautiful eyes like autumn water looking at him, his heart trembled first, and he cleared his throat vigorously and said seriously: "Exactly." Coincidentally, one of my brothers, usually has a close relationship with a monk in the Shanguo Temple of Buzheng Fang, and when he went to the Shanguo Temple to find the monk to play yesterday, he happened to have someone pay a high price to buy those peony joints, and also mentioned the name of Danniang. ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at the peony brightly, "Danniang always went to the Taoist temple and the temple to buy the peony joint a few days ago, and it has been spread in these Taoist temples and temples. My brother only noticed when he heard the man mention your name, and he went with him on a special trip, and found that the man went to many Taoist temples and monasteries, all of which were bought at a high price for the joints of other people's precious species. ”
Peony frowned and said, "Do you know who the fifth brother is?" What did he say? ”
Zhang Wulang said a little proudly: "My brother thought it was strange at the time, so he followed him on a trip, only to know that he lived outside Guanghuamen, his surname was Cao Wanrong, and he had a peony garden, and he always had to make a good amount of money on peony flowers every spring. He said to the people around him at that time that he couldn't ask the He family's peonies to buy all the good seeds, otherwise she would build that garden in the future, wouldn't it make people lose their lives? ”
When Peony heard that it was Cao Wanrong, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be him." She still thought that this matter was related to her Fangyuan incident, thinking about what kind of serious incident it was, and he was a powerful character, but since it was Cao Wanrong, whether he was only with her to buy this peony joint or both things related to him, then he was nothing to fear.
Zhang Wulang rolled up his sleeves indignantly and said, "Did Danniang offend him before?" He's clearly deliberately going against you! How can a big man compete with a delicate little lady for this? It's not a man! Wait for me to clean him up, see if he dares to come? ”
Peony smiled: "Thank you Fifth Brother Zhang first." But speaking of which, it's normal for peers to be jealous of each other. Since he rushed to buy it before me, and it was a high price, he didn't steal or rob, so there was nothing wrong with it. ”
Zhang Wulang secretly thought, yes, Peony is probably not happy to be rude casually, and his proposal is really terrible. couldn't help blushing slightly, and sat aside to play with the teapot.
Da Lang frowned and said, "I just wonder, how could Cao Wanrong know that Danniang was going to build a garden?" hasn't built a garden yet, just buying flowers, he knows that Danniang is going to rob him of his job? This man is also too shrewd. ”
Peony said: "Big brother has never seen that person. The man was indeed very shrewd, he wanted to buy a peony with me, and then somehow found out who I was. That day, I went to his garden with my fifth brother and sister-in-law to see peonies, and I happened to meet him, and he was so close that he wanted me to sell flowers to him. I didn't agree, and he said to change again, but the fifth sister-in-law was not feeling well at the time, and we were in a hurry to go home, so I told him to change the day, but he almost didn't turn his face.
I always go to the monasteries and Taoist temples these days, ask everywhere about this good seed, pay for the joints, he does this business, always pay attention to these news, how can I not attract his attention? In addition, our family is already in business, and when I think about it, I can guess that I am probably going to build a peony garden. Since he has the heart to make achievements in this, he naturally wants it. ”
He Zhizhong had heard Peony mention Cao Wanrong's rush to buy peonies, and he was deeply impressed, so he said: "This is also normal, we do business, who is not like this?" It's just that this human nature doesn't seem to be good, Danniang should be more careful when she goes out in the future. He also asked Peony to salute Zhang Wulang and thank him, and then looked back at Zhang Wulang and smiled: "How about Wulang stay for dinner?" A few of us have a drink. ”
Zhang Wulang reluctantly forced himself to withdraw his gaze from the back of the peony, and said with a smile: "I'm bothering my uncle." ”
He Zhizhong smiled: "What's polite?" He ordered someone to clean up the banquet, invited Zhang Wulang to the banquet, and asked him: "I heard that you opened a rice shop not long ago, how is the business now?" ”
Zhang Wulang blushed and said: "Wulang is not a material for business, he is already closed." ”
He Zhizhong let out an "oh", knowing that he was probably back to his old business again, so he stroked his beard and said, "If Wulang wants to make a contribution, it is better to join the army." Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhang Wulang, and saw that although he didn't mean to be disgusted, he was obviously not interested, so he said, "Or, what are your plans?" ”
A thin layer of cold sweat broke out in Zhang Wulang's palms, and he opened his mouth: "I'm still thinking about what to do." These days, he took his brothers to various places to stabilize the field for others, and also tried to raise fighting cocks, and the days were much more comfortable, and the oil and water were enough. I just always want to see the peony, otherwise it's really good.
He Zhizhong didn't ask any more questions, but said: "In fact, to do business, people who are new to the industry still need to be introduced." ”
As soon as Zhang Wulang heard this, he seemed to have some meaning in it, and immediately raised his eyes to look at He Zhizhong, He Zhizhong did not avoid it, and calmly raised his glass and smiled: "You also know that Danniang is like this, and she can't be idle, and she always wants to do something." We can't follow her at any time, there are many chivalrous people who Gorou knows, and I have to bother you to say hello everywhere, and Hugh is going to let her be bullied. Dalang and I are very grateful to you. ”
Zhang Wulang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, frowned and thought for a moment, then got up and said: "Uncle, don't worry, I have been friends with Shiro for many years, Danniang is like my own sister, I will definitely try my best to take care of her." As for business......" he was silent for a moment, "I don't think I'm that material." But I can always support my wife and children. ”
He Zhizhong was a little surprised that he rejected his kindness, but seeing that his expression was obviously a little unhappy, thinking that he understood what he meant, he skipped the topic and said something else. Shiro stepped forward with Da Lang at the right time to pay homage to Zhang Goro, called him brother and brother, and drank Zhang Goro happily again, so that someone sent him back.
Da Lang asked He Zhizhong: "Does Daddy want to lure him into the sea?" ”
He Zhizhong said lightly: "People like him can't be offended, he helped Danniang twice, and maybe he will help our family again in the future." I can't give him what he wants, only to make money, anyway, there is not much of him on the boat. If he had the guts, I would have taken him to sea, and if he was lucky enough to make money, he deserved it. But he is still very ambitious, and he refuses to go with me. ”
Shiro sent Zhang Wulang back, and looked at He Zhizhong when he heard the words: "Daddy is talking about Zhang Wulang, right?" ”
He Zhizhong sighed: "I have already seen the look in his eyes when he looks at the peony several times. But my Danniang is reluctant to give it to him, Danniang is afraid and will not be willing. "I don't have a proper job, I mix with those people every day, run rampant in the city, and have a bad reputation. Such a person is a parent who will not be willing to give his only baby daughter to him.
Shiro smiled: "He's not an eyeless person, he's just bold and straightforward, but he hasn't done anything rude." And didn't he ever mention it? I think he understands what you mean tonight, and he won't mess around. ”
He Zhizhong said: "His sex is indeed straightforward, but he is not suitable for Danniang." It's easy to get old. "The parents who raise their daughters are really miserable, and their daughters are worried that no one is staring at them; Being stared at by inappropriate people, or staring at too many people, is even more worrying.
Peony didn't know that He Zhizhong had done something for her in front of her, and after resting for a night, she got up early in the morning and asked Aunt Feng and Yuhe to follow, and asked the two powerful family members to take the gift, and went to visit the neighbors in Fangyuan according to the content written on the piece of paper.
