It is said that Zheng Boduan slept in the open on the way to Shaoxing Mansion, stayed in Xiaoxing at night, and came to Shaoxing Mansion in less than a day and found the local guard General Zhao. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the Taiping army had just captured the city of Shaoxing and had not yet formally appointed the garrison officials, General Zhao, who led the troops, temporarily acted as the prefect.

This General Zhao is also a sensible person, born in poverty, got a letter from General Hangzhou, and knew that this matter was a little strange, and he was not embarrassed by Zheng Boduan at the moment, but also secretly sent someone to look at him to see if this Zheng Boduan's lady was a demon.

He thought about it, this Shaoxing Mansion is in ruins, and some are places to employ people, seeing that this Zheng Boduan was originally the shopkeeper, he took him to a pharmacy in the city to take care of it, and at night he went to a vacant room on the opposite floor to rest.

This Zheng Boduan has been working since he was a child, and he has a pharmacy in Dali in order at the moment, and General Zhao is very happy to see it, and he wants to keep him.

However, the trade of this pharmacy is not easy to do. It turned out that there were originally two stewards in the store, one in charge of Zhang and one in charge of Li. This steward Li has been honest all his life, but it is easy to say, but this steward has been cunning and mean all his life, relying on the old and selling the old, and he likes to bully the back, and when he saw a shopkeeper in the store, he was very displeased, and he was afraid that he would offend General Zhao who was guarding here, and he secretly hated him.

It is said that one day General Zhao was idle and came to this pharmacy to inspect, and it happened that Zheng Boduan went to the branch to buy goods, so he asked the others: "Is this new shopkeeper okay?" How is buying and selling? ”

When Steward Zhang heard this on the side, he was overjoyed, and secretly wondered if he was not in my plan this time? At that moment, he said: "Good is good, but there is one thing......"

General Zhao asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Steward Zhang said: "This shopkeeper is estimated to come from a big place in Hangzhou, and he is willing to do big business, but the smaller customers refuse to take care of it, and sometimes he is sent away at will." Therefore, everyone said that he was not good, and I tried to persuade him several times, but he refused to listen, and said that I relied on the old and sold the old. ”

General Zhao said: "This is easy, I will talk to him about this matter, and I am not afraid that he will not follow." ”

The loyal and honest Steward Li heard it on the side, and said to Steward Zhang in private: "It is the so-called harmony that makes money." This Zheng Boduan is new, and he can't do it for long, you and I just have to cooperate. If you say anything to your face, why do you want to talk about people behind your back? If he had known, he would have said that we were jealous of him. ”

Steward Zhang sneered: "You know a fart! If he is confirmed, will there be a way for us old things to live in the future? ”

It was getting late, everyone went home, and the more Steward Li thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he came to Zheng Boduan's residence and said, "You were not there when General Zhao came to patrol the streets today, and Steward Zhang was jealous of you in front of the general. In the future, you should use more dim sum, whether it is a big deal or a small business, you must do it carefully. ”

Zheng Boduan was an understanding person, and nodded immediately: "Thank you for your advice." I'll go with you for a drink! ”

The two came to the store, Zheng Bo ordered wine and food, and toasted Steward Li first.

Steward Li said: "This General Zhao has a very upright personality and cannot be resisted. He will come to you tomorrow to speak, and you will do as he says, and don't talk back. ”

Zheng Boduan said: "Thank you brother for your love, and I can save it in the next province." ”

The two drank a few more glasses, only to see that it was getting late. Steward Li was afraid that it would be difficult to travel at night on the road, so he quit Zheng Boduan and went straight home.

Zheng Boduan was also a little drunk, afraid that he would bump into pedestrians along the way, so he went back from under the eaves. was walking, only to see an upstairs upstairs push open the window and pour a basin of water down, right in the middle of Zheng Boduan.

Zheng Bo woke up suddenly after taking this wine, stopped his steps, and scolded upstairs.

I saw a woman hurrying down from the upper floor, apologizing, and wiping his clothes with a handkerchief.

Zheng Boduan raised his drunken eyes and looked, only to see that the woman was Zhang Niangzi, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and scolded: "You thief and demon woman! What enmity do I have against you? You have harmed me three times and many times, and you have made me so miserable! You're here now, and you still say you're not a monster? Rushing up, he grabbed her and said, "Let's go, let's go to the lawsuit to reason!" ”

Zhang Niangzi smiled and said: "Official, as the so-called one-night husband and wife are a hundred days, how can I harm you?" Listen to me, these clothes were left by my late husband. I have a deep affection for you, so I let you wear it on your body, but why should I take revenge? ”

Zheng Boduan said: "I came to look for you that day, why are you and the maid gone?" The servants said you came to the temple to look for me, but why are you here? ”

Zhang Niangzi said: "I did go to the temple, but I heard that you were arrested by the people of the Ganwang Mansion again, and I taught the maid to inquire about the news, only that you had escaped and left." I was afraid that King Gan would send someone to embarrass our female generation, so he asked for a boat and came to this Shaoxing Mansion to join his relatives. I just arrived here yesterday. I only said that I have caused you to suffer two unjust lawsuits, how can I see you? It's useless for you to blame me. It is the so-called 100-year repair of the same ship, and the 100-year-old repair of the same sleep. Since you and I are husband and wife, why are we like this now? Wouldn't it be better if you would come to my dwelling place for the sake of your husband and wife? ”

As soon as Zheng Boduan heard this, he was disgusted and happy, and he was fascinated by lust, so he didn't go back to his residence, but rested upstairs on Zhang Niangzi.

Early the next morning, I came to General Zhao's mansion. The soldiers of the Taiping Army are all from a bitter background, and they are not as good as the Qing court officials, and this General Zhao met Zheng Boduan in the living room while eating breakfast.

He originally wanted to say a few words about Zheng Boduan, but when he heard him say that the lady and the maid came to Shaoxing Mansion to join relatives, and now they want to live in one place, his heart moved, and he said: "This is a good thing, why do you need to say more?" Go and join your lady. ”

And so some more time passed, and it fell on the seventh day of the seventh month. Zheng Boduan was looking at the shop on the street, and saw that the road was very lively, and the guy Xiao Jiang received: "Zheng Guanren gave incense the day before yesterday, why don't you go to the temple today?" There are villains here to watch. ”

Zheng Boduan said, "Why don't you go for a walk?" ”

Xiao Jiang smiled: "Did the officials forget that I rested yesterday?" I've been there for a long time. ”

Zheng Boduan thought about it, and said, "Then you will have to work." After speaking, he packed his things and went home to find Mrs. Zhang.

He knew that Zhang Niangzi was reluctant to go to the temple, so he immediately said: "I want to go to Feiyun Temple in the city to burn incense, if you don't want to go, stay and take care of the family." ”

Zhang Niangzi said: "You have been to the temple several times, do you still want to go now?" ”

Zheng Boduan said: "Of course you have to go, burn incense and worship the Buddha to eliminate disasters and solve problems." ”

Zhang Niangzi said: "If you want to go, I can't stop you." However, you have to rely on me for three things. ”

Zheng Boduan said: "Which three?" (To be continued.) )
