Chapter 260: Wood Bang Incense
The princess? Du Fugui's title made Zhang Chen slightly surprised. Originally, Zhang Chen didn't have much interest in this noble lady, but because Du Fugui called him like this, he instantly became interested and interested in the title of this woman. Looking at the entire Luoyang City, there should not be many women who can be called the princess's mother!
Although he was interested, Zhang Chen just watched quietly and did not bother.
"Hmmm! This hairpin, if you put some red jade at these two ends, it would be even better! The woman whispered. The sound is very soft, which makes people listen to it, and it is very comfortable.
"Well, what a shame, sis! The small ones are built according to what the mother said. Nodding, Du Fugui said respectfully. After speaking, Du Fugui glanced at the door, and finally saw Zhang Chen standing at the counter.
"Oh, great, sir! You're here! Du Fugui hurriedly greeted. I was very happy. Zhang Chen became a big official, and he was happy for Zhang Chen. And with Zhang Chen covering his Jin Yuzhai, no one rushed to make trouble anymore.
"Hehehe, shopkeeper Du, we are all old friends, why are you still so polite with me!" Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"Hehehe, no, you're not an adult anymore!" Du Fugui also said with a smile.
The lady turned her head to look at Zhang Chen. And Zhang Chen was slightly stunned when he saw this noble lady's face, and he was very surprised. Even if he was accustomed to seeing beautiful women, he was still impressed by the beauty of the noblewoman. Willow leaf eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, melon seed face, not emaciated, but more rounded, white skin, water and spirit, a little lazy on the face, gentle with a little charming. and match the lady's bumpy figure. The best, and the best woman. The princess is really the princess! Nima's, these emperors are really cheap, and all the good women are taken up by them.
Zhang Chen was only slightly stunned, smiled, and nodded at the noble lady. Why is he always a little excited when he sees such a beautiful woman? Sin, sin! If it weren't for this excitement, there wouldn't be so many things! I just don't know. Which princess's concubine is this beautiful woman? Does that guy have a good relationship with him? If it's not good. Is it possible to force his wife?
Who is this beautiful woman? It is the princess Mu Bang Xiang of the acting king Li Jian! As for whether that Li Jian is a good person or a bad person? I believe that soon, Zhang Chen will be able to know the Tao!
When Mu Bangxiang saw Zhang Chen, he was also slightly "stunned". Then smiled. Said: "Lord Zhang, right?" ”
Seeing Mu Bangxiang, he suddenly called out his surname. Zhang Chen was a little surprised. Such a tall, graceful woman, if he had ever seen it. It's absolutely impossible to forget!
"Madame knows Zhang?" After thinking about it, Zhang Chen asked.
"Hehehe, I don't know! However, the prince often mentions Lord Zhang, saying that Lord Zhang is outstanding in appearance and is the most handsome of the civil and military officials. The concubine is just a casual guess! Mu Bangxiang chuckled softly. The tone is still gentle, not at all pretentious.
"Oh? Rajah! I think it's the princess! Disrespectful! Disrespectful! Zhang Chen pretended to be stupid and said.
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Mu Bangxiang hurriedly said.
"I don't know which prince can be lucky enough to marry a fairy like the princess?" After thinking about it, Zhang Chen asked softly. Respectfully. The words are a little exaggerated, but from the mouth of Zhang Chen, the three-grade Dali Siqing, the taste is different.
"Master Zhang is really good at laughing, what kind of immortal is the concubine! The concubine is just a concubine of the acting king's mansion! Mu Bangxiang smiled.
If you want to talk about a fairy-like person, this Zhang Hongyu in front of you can be regarded as a "fairy-like" person. There are many beautiful women, but it is indeed rare for a man to be so handsome! Not only handsome, but also tall, not thin at all. Every time she saw Zhang Chen, she was a little surprised. Didn't Li Jian ask her why Empress Wu liked Zhang Hongyu so much? What woman doesn't like such a person?
"Oh, it's the princess of the acting king, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Zhang Chen hurriedly said. That stupid B Li Jian can also marry such a beautiful wife? Such a good cabbage is really arched by a pig! Originally, Zhang Chen didn't hate Li Jian. But after seeing Mu Bangxiang, Zhang Chen couldn't help but hate Li Jian.
"Did Master Zhang also come to buy jewelry? Give your sweetheart a treat, right? Mu Bangxiang asked with a smile.
"Oh, Xiaguan is the boss of the Red Jade Bookstore opposite, and he is an old acquaintance with the shopkeeper Du, and he has nothing to do, so Xiaguan will come here to have a fun!" Zhang Chen said. Respectfully.
"Oh, I see!" Nodding, Mu Bangxiang said softly. It's like the real thing.
"Disturb the princess Niangniang Yaxing! The princess doesn't have to care about the lower officials, just continue! Bowing his head slightly, Zhang Chen still said respectfully.
"Oh, no, no! The concubine body has already seen it! Mu Bangxiang said with a smile, "Today I have a fate, and I met Master Zhang." I wonder if Lord Zhang can enjoy a face, accompany the concubine to drink a cup of tea, and chat for a while? ”
"The princess thinks so highly of the lower officials, the lower officials dare not disobey!" Zhang Chen hurriedly said.
"Hehehe, it just so happens that the villain has some good tea here, if the princess and Master Zhang don't dislike it, just sit here for a while!" Du Fugui hurriedly said with a smile.
"Then, it's troublesome for the shopkeeper Du!" After hesitating for a moment, Mu Bangxiang said softly.
"No trouble, no trouble! Princess Niangniang, Lord Zhang, please inside! Inside please! Du Fugui hurriedly greeted.
"Princess, please!" Zhang Chen also hurriedly greeted.
"Lord Zhang, please!"
Then, Du Fugui led Zhang Chen and Mu Bangxiang to the living room of the Du family to sit down. And Du Fugui himself went to make tea, and Du Fugui is still very researched about the tea ceremony. And the little maid brought by Mu Bangxiang was guarding the door.
"Lord Zhang isn't a local, is he?" After sitting down, Mu Bangxiang asked softly.
She only knew that Zhang Chen was the owner of Hongyu Bookstore, and now he was Dali Siqing, living in Jishanfang, and was deeply liked by the Empress Wu. As for Zhang Chen's other information, she didn't find it at all. This is the reason why she wants to chat with Zhang Chen for a while, and if she explores it from Zhang Chen's mouth, she may be able to find something useful. In addition, she also knew that Zhang Chen had a weakness, that is, he liked beautiful women! Well, it's just!
Of course, chatting with such a handsome man, she was also happy in her heart. As for what Li Jian would think, she didn't bother to care. Li Jian, that idiot, won't live long! Oops, it's this man, it's really itchy to see people's hearts!
"Oh, Xiaguan's ancestral home is Yangzhou, it's quite far from here!" Zhang Chen replied. It's like the truth. His ancestral home is not from this world! However, when he first said that he was from Yangzhou, he was also from Yangzhou, and now he has to set himself as a Yangzhou person.
"Oh, Yangzhou! I heard that Yangzhou is a good place, and there are more handsome people, no wonder it can give birth to talents like Master Zhang! Looking at Zhang Chen, Mu Bangxiang said softly. Her voice is indeed gentle, the kind of gentleness that never gets tired of listening.
"The princess is praised! Xiaguan doesn't dare to be the word 'talent', Xiaguan is just a bookstore, lucky, he was appreciated by His Majesty and the queen's mother, and became the current Dali Temple! Otherwise, Xia Guan is still a bookstore, an idler who can't even get famous! Zhang Chen said. Respectfully.
"Master Zhang is really good at laughing! If Lord Zhang is not a talent, then His Majesty and the Queen Mother have no vision? Looking at Zhang Chen, Mu Bangxiang smiled. seized the loophole in Zhang Chen's words.
"This, this, this ......"
For a while, Zhang Chen didn't know how to answer. Damn, of course he's a talent, that's just modest words, can't you hear it? Empress Wu is optimistic about herself, that can only show that Empress Wu has vision!
"Hehehe, make a joke with Lord Zhang, and please don't be weird!" Seeing Zhang Chen's embarrassment, Mu Bangxiang hurriedly smiled.
"No, no! Although Xia Guan is a little stupid, he is not stupid! I can hear that the princess is joking with the lower officials! Zhang Chen said. Still respectful.
"If Master Zhang is stupid, it is estimated that there will be no smart people in this world!" Mu Bangxiang said with a smile. Then he hurriedly asked, "By the way, why did Lord Zhang open a bookstore in this bustling South Market before?" As far as the concubine knows, it should be difficult to make money when the bookstore is opened in this kind of place, right? ”
Nanshi is prosperous, and taxes are still very heavy. Although Zhang Chen bought the courtyard of the Red Jade Book Company, he had to pay taxes in order to open the door to do business. And the amount of tax is not calculated according to the income of the store at all, but according to the location! Every inch of land in Nanshi is expensive, and it is difficult to make money unless the business is super good!
"It's hard to make money! However, this is the interest of the lower officials. Although Xia Guan failed to gain fame, he is also a scholar, so he just wants to open a bookstore! After thinking about it, Zhang Chen replied respectfully.
"Oh, I see!" Nodding, Mu Bangxiang said. Of course, she wouldn't believe what Zhang Chen said. Zhang Chen is a master, others don't know the way, but she knows the way! If it weren't for underestimating Zhang Chen's master, he would definitely be lying in a coffin by now! Isn't it strange that he is a man who can write and martial arts, but he is only willing to open a small bookstore and do a loss-making business?
At this moment, Du Fugui personally sent the tea he had brewed himself, and after putting down the tea, Du Fugui said with a smile: "Princess Niangniang, Master Zhang, you talk slowly, the little one goes out first, if there is anything, call the little one at any time!" ”
"Trouble the shopkeeper Du!" Zhang Chen and Mu Bangxiang spoke at the same time and said.
"No trouble, no trouble! The two of you are distinguished guests, please don't come! The two of you chat, the little one went down first! With that, Du Fugui respectfully withdrew from the city.
"Princess, please!"
"Lord Zhang, please! Actually, the concubine is not good at tea, but she has a relationship with Lord Zhang today, and she wants to talk casually with Lord Zhang! Looking at Zhang Chen, Mu Bangxiang smiled. It's like the truth. On this rainy day, I ran from Lidefang to Jinyuzhai in Nanshi, and happened to meet Zhang Chen, is it really so fateful? This Lide Fang can be north of Luoshui, not close to here!
"Yes, it's fate! Xia Guan just came and walked around casually, but he didn't expect to bump into the princess! Zhang Chen also smiled. Naturally, I don't think too much about it. I can't think too much about it. (To be continued......)
