Chapter 222: Recruiting Black
Ji Tong went out of the pen and ink shop in Liji, and asked the little guy around him to go to Zhou's Mansion and call Zhou Zimao to Ji's Mansion.
Intuitively, he thinks that Zhou's shopkeeper has nothing to do with Zhou Zimao.
With the affection of their seven chivalrous guests, Zhou Zimao would have said this a long time ago.
In case, the shopkeeper of Zhou is Brother Zhou's father-in-law, then he will be beautiful!
Zhou Zimao was caught by his mother to complain, as soon as he heard that Ji Tong was in an emergency, he ran away like a rabbit, rushed to Ji's mansion in a hurry, hurried into Ji Tong's study, and asked, "What's the matter?" What's wrong? You're not in trouble, are you? ”
Ji Tong was dreaming, and when he heard this, he gave Zhou Zimao a punch: "You just had an accident!" ”
Zhou Zimao smiled: "If you don't call me out, I'm really going to have an accident!" ”
Ji Tong came to his senses and sat up: "Are you going to marry a daughter-in-law?" ”
Zhou Zimao took a sip: "Phew, you're just going to marry a daughter-in-law!" ”
Ji Tong raised his eyebrows, and this sounded like a joke: "Then tell me, what are you going to do?" ”
Zhou Zimao spread his hands: "I heard that my eldest brother returned to the capital, but before he returned home, my mother lost her temper, saying that his eldest brother threw his future daughter-in-law at home for her to take care of, which blocked her." ”
"Huh? Is it really your eldest brother's father-in-law? ”
"What old man? Have you seen it? ”
"I've seen it! It was recorded in the West Market, and it was said that a silk shop was opened. ”
"Yes, yes, my cousin is busy with these things. No, he made my clothes. ”
Ji Tong's focus is on the back: "When did your eldest brother order a family affair?" Why haven't I heard you say this? ”
Zhou Zimao shook her head and was happy: "Listen to my mother, it was my grandfather who rushed to take the exam when he was young, and he married his classmates. ”
Zhou Zimao secretly thought, hey, it's so dangerous, if you find him to marry, it's over. If you want to say Zhou Qinglian, she looks quite delicate, but she can't compare with the temperament of the little lady in the capital, it's okay to stay in the study with red sleeves and add fragrance, and marry her as a wife, but even a little finger of the little lady of the Wang family can't compare!
Ji Tong is even happier, if Brother Zhou has a family affair for marriage, then the little lady will be a gentleman!
Zhou Zimao asked: "Why do you think of asking my eldest brother about marriage?" ”
Ji Tong rolled his eyes, and as soon as he heard this, he knew that Zhou Zimao had nothing to say: "I won't say it, I went to Liji today." ”
Zhou Zimao smiled: "You went to Liji today, what did you buy, take it out and take a look." ”
Ji Tong bought two Hui inkstones, both of which were customized for Zhang Jinwen, of course he wouldn't take them out, so he shook his head and said, "I didn't buy it, I just looked at it." I didn't get any new products. ”
Zhou Zimao didn't believe it: "You will never come out empty-handed when you go to Liji!" ”
Ji Tong grinned, this guy was too familiar to be good, so he had to say: "I really didn't buy it, let the second shopkeeper expedite it for me to make seven wolf pens, engraved with the 'gold list title', and go get it the day after tomorrow." ”
"Won't the day after tomorrow be the Chinese New Year's Eve?"
"Well, I'll let them send them to their home."
Zhou Zimao laughed: "Okay, we can all be named on the gold list after the Seven Heroes Hall exam, and then the good students will celebrate." ”
Ji Tongdao: "Before the palace test, let's go to the Xinglin Pavilion, right?" ”
Of course, Zhou Zimao agreed: "It must be dropped!" ”
The two hit it off and immediately wrote a post for the little guy to send to the Xinglin Pavilion.
In less than an hour, the little guy came back: "Childe, the shopkeeper of the Xinglin Pavilion said that he will give the letter tomorrow." ”
Waiting for the next day, Ji Tong didn't need to be a small servant, and he happily took two Hui inkstones to the Xinglin Pavilion.
The snow was falling, the carriage couldn't move at all, and Ji Tong didn't dare to make a noise, so he rode out of the door.
There were no patients in Qianjintang, and Zhang Jinwen was in the study to read and write notes.
Zhou Ziyu took Lord Zhou's message and took Luo Huai back to Zhou's mansion, and it was quiet in the study.
Ji Tong rode over on a horse, Zhang Jinwen heard the sound of horses' hooves, and thought it was Luo Huailai to report the news, so she hurriedly ran out, opened the gate, and saw Ji Tong jumping off the horse.
The snowflakes flying all over the sky are about to envelop people.
Ji Tong didn't expect Zhang Jinwen to answer the door in person, and he was very excited: "Little lady Zhang, it's snowy outside, come in." ”
Zhang Jinwen was a little surprised when she saw that it was Ji Tong, but she was also very happy: "Ji Gongzi is here, what are you doing?" ”
Ji Tong threw the reins to Zhu Qing, who heard the sound, stepped into the Xinglin Pavilion, handed the brocade box in his hand to Zhang Jinwen, turned around and closed the door, took off the hood, dusted off the snowflakes on the big coat, and then turned around and smiled: "Yesterday, I asked the little girl to ask about the luncheon after the New Year, and today I came to listen to the letter." ”
With such a big snowstorm, it is impossible for Little Lady Zhang to drive him home like this, right?
Sure enough, Zhang Jinwen smiled and said: "It's too much wind and snow outside, it looks like it's going to rain for a while, Ji Gongzi came to the study to bake the fire, and I asked Aunt Zhang how the time after the New Year was arranged." ”
Ji Tong followed Zhang Jinwen into the study and took it off and handed it to Chunlan at the door.
The study was as warm as spring, and Ji Tong immediately felt the heat, so he walked to the charcoal brazier and rubbed his hands to roast the fire.
Zhang Jinwen put down the brocade box in her hand, went to the dark grid under the bookshelf and took out a bottle of chilblain cream, and handed it to Ji Tong: "Ji Gongzi, apply some ointment, and your fingers won't get chilblains." ”
Ji Tong asked in surprise: "How do you know that my hands will get chilblains?" ”
Zhang Jinwen smiled: "My ears are very smart, just listening to the sound of your hands rubbing, I know that your fingers are frozen." ”
Ji Tong was not polite, opened the bottle cap, picked out some ointment and applied it to his hands, and asked, "Is this your newly prepared ointment?" In fact, he also has it, and he also carries a bottle of chilblain cream from the palace given by the emperor, but he doesn't say it, he likes to use the little lady Zhang's own handmade.
Zhang Jinwen smiled and acquiesced.
This bottle of chilblain cream is the ointment that she specially prepared and Zhou Ziyu suggested not to be released.
Zhou Ziyu can't use up such a good thing, but he can't be tyrannical.
After Ji Tong applied the ointment, he praised it: "It's really comfortable!" I feel like my fingers are heating up. ”
Zhang Jinwen smiled: "Since Ji Gongzi likes it, this bottle of ointment will be given to you, but don't tell others that I made it." ”
It's not that she's generous, but Ji Tong often gives her gifts, and she also gives back a bottle of ointment, which can be regarded as a good courtesy.
Ji Tong was puzzled, such a good ointment, he still wanted to advertise for her: "What? ”
Zhang Jinwen said: "The medicinal materials for preparing this ointment are scarce, and only two or three bottles have been made. ”
Ji Tong sighed, and said in his heart, the bottle of ointment in his hand is equivalent to a private order! immediately laughed beautifully: Hehe, I'll talk about Brother Zhou's marriage later, and find a chance to say it!
