Chapter 216

Wen Yan had mixed feelings in his heart, but after seeing Lin Baozhu leaning over and saluting without losing his proportion, he felt a little bitter in his heart. [No pop-ups. But in the end, it is a person who has been in the mall for a long time, even if he is sad, he still does not show half of it.

"Madame came to the capital, but to watch the general's style in the city?" The clerk bowed his hand naturally, and then said with a smile, "I just saw the general's heroic appearance, which really made the scholar admire." ”

Even though he was happy with Lin Baozhu, he still couldn't say that the reckless man in the mountains was not worthy of Lin Baozhu. Not to mention that now Zhang Manchu is a general who protects the country, it is no longer something that he can compare with a businessman, even if he is still a villain in Peachtree Bay, as long as people love him, it is impossible for the clerk to say such rude words.

The two of them already knew each other, and Wen Yan had always hidden his own intentions very well, and even the little guy who was waiting beside him didn't notice half of it. Naturally, let alone Lin Baozhu, she didn't think about it at all. After all, no matter how much her own man praises her, she will not be so narcissistic that she feels that she is a fairy and everyone likes her.

Now that I see that the clerk takes care of Zhang Ji a lot, and he also respects himself, I think it is also because of the smooth cooperation between the two businesses, and they have benefited. Or, now that her man is also a general, it will be a little different.

So after saluting, the two of them didn't have much polite greetings, and sat down directly and let the shopkeeper personally choose the refreshments.

After everyone sat down, Lin Baozhu smiled and said: "The general has the might of the general, but the young owner also has the spirit of the young owner, why do you make fun of me?" ”

Wen Yan just said such a sentence because of sadness, but he didn't want to be pushed back directly by Lin Baozhu. However, when he looked at Lin Baozhu and mentioned the general, the whole person was full of energy, as if he had tens of millions of love, which made him feel stuffy in his chest again.

He found that he was just looking uncomfortable, knowing that Lin Baozhu and Xiang Gōng Guān were very good, and the two of them were in a heart-to-heart posture, so he had to come up and ask and listen.

felt sour and uncomfortable, and seeing Lin Baozhu's happy and joyful appearance, it was even more dazzling. Simply, he put aside what he just said, and directly picked up business matters.

Now he is really glad that he is doing business with the Zhang family alone, even if he can't explain his intentions, he can talk to her about cooperation.

"This year's chrysanthemum banquet was led by Princess Chenyue, and because of the trial release list in the autumn, the princess intended to let several princes, after the Qionglin banquet, bring the champion to explore the flower list and be praised by the emperor to attend, which can be regarded as a lottery." Although the clerk is not a person from the capital, he has his own way to inquire about the affairs of the nobles, especially this chrysanthemum banquet is not hidden, and the Wen family has also gathered a lot of contacts, this news can still be found.

Lin Baozhu saw that he was honest and didn't hide his secrets, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "What does the young owner think?" ”

In fact, to be honest, she was also a little surprised in her heart, didn't she say that the rules were as big as the sky. How can a woman invite a man to a banquet?

Seeing that Lin Baozhu was a little strange on his face, he guessed a little in his heart, and he could probably guess seven or eight points.

"It's a royal business, and no one dares to criticize anything. Second, this time the chrysanthemum banquet also had the participation of the ladies of the palace, in order to win over the new scholars, the princes had to operate, that is, a reason. However, in fact, the women's chrysanthemum banquet is not in the same courtyard as the man's, according to the habit of the nobles in the past, I am afraid that they want to find a Zhuangzi or mansion, divided into the inner courtyard and the front yard to entertain. ”

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty also had rules for men and women, it was much more relaxed than the previous dynasty. That is, some remote places, which still continue the strict rules of the past. Like in the capital, it is not a strange thing for noble ladies to go out in groups to get together, or to visit the lake to enjoy the flowers.

And the celebratory reception after the chrysanthemum banquet and the Qionglin banquet has always been a custom. Originally, the two banquets would not get together, but when the princess reached the time of marriage this year, she had been grinding the emperor for a long time before she was promised such presumptuousness. Said to be a drinking party, in fact, there are some girlish thoughts, there is a saying in ancient times, that girl is not pregnant with spring, and she is the proud daughter of the sky in 28 years, so she naturally wants to find a husband who is unique in 10,000.

Lin Baozhu nodded, the surprise on her face flashed, and when she got an answer, she naturally figured it out. As you can see today, in the tea shops on the street, there are also many women waiting to watch the ceremony, and some of them directly throw flowers to show their hearts, no matter how you look at it, they are much more generous and open than the women in Peach Tree Bay and even Taoxi County.

And the clothes and makeup are also very bright, so it really responds to the explanation of the text.

"Beauty tea has naturally entered the princess's mansion, yesterday just got the news, said that it was a new tea, the princess is very happy, named to appreciate the chrysanthemum banquet to use Zhang Ji beauty tea. As for the white rooster comb tea, the Wen family has already sent the best stubble to the Xiaoyao Palace, everyone in the Great Zhou knows that the Xiaoyao King is the most happy tea, and it is also quite important to Zhang Ji, I estimate that after the Qionglin banquet, it is necessary to set Zhang Ji's white rooster comb to entertain guests. Speaking of this, the clerk smiled and said directly, "When Zhang Ji soars into the sky, I have to ask Mrs. to take care of the Wen family more." ”

Looking at the clerk's words and laughter, Lin Baozhu also laughed and said again and again. It's a good thing, there is no greeting and polite prevarication, the clerk is frank, and she should be naturally happy.

After saying these words, Lin Baozhu couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "Rao is Zhang Ji has entered the eyes of nobles, and it is not as good as the Wen family, and there are still many things to do in the future, and I still have to be helped by the owner." ”

"Come on, don't tell me about these vain, when the holy decree comes down later, it is estimated that there will be an endless stream of people asking Zhang Ji to do business, and the door of the general's mansion will be flattened" After finishing business, I looked at Lin Baozhu's leisurely appearance of sipping tea, and talking to himself casually, leisurely and comfortable, he simply didn't maintain any ghost image of the young owner, so he simply glanced at her unceremoniously, and said unceremoniously, "Zhang Ji is on the thief ship of the Wen family, and it is difficult to pick a son." ”

Seeing that Wen Yan didn't care about it, Lin Baozhu burst out laughing, and then said: "What the owner said is that the left and right Wen families can't get rid of Zhang Ji and go to make a fortune alone." ”

After saying this, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then raised the teacup in front of them and lit it in the air.

After talking for a while, Lin Baozhu coaxed the eldest girl to eat a few pieces of snacks, and then listened to the story of the story of the protector general seven in and seven out of the story of capturing Princess Tana on the platform under the teahouse, and the group got up to say goodbye.

At this time, it was already past the end of the day, and the crowd of people who were watching the ceremony outside had almost faded. When Lin Baozhu took the eldest girl to the post station, it was not crowded and difficult to walk.

And the clerk who was talking about the world just now looked dignified, but after staying at the window and watching the beautiful figure leave, he breathed a sigh of relief. Somehow, looking at the back of the woman holding the big girl in his hand and turning his head to talk to the maid next to him, the sadness and swelling pain in his heart gradually disappeared.

And just when Wen Yan felt uncomfortable, the dumb man on the side leaned over and whispered: "Young master, just now Aunt Fang sent a letter saying that she is in poor health and wants you to go over and take a look." ”

At first glance, when he heard the name Aunt Fang, Wen Yan really didn't come back to his senses, and when he remembered it, he realized that it was the same room he had accepted when he settled in the capital. said that it was a room, but in fact, it was just a maid who served closely in the Beijing Courtyard, and it was only because of the friendship that she had served for many years that she was left by her side and never promised to be rationed to the maid at will.

That's it, that person shouldn't be thinking about himself, if he is obsessed, I'm afraid that it will bring disaster to the Wen family in the future. You must know that the reason why King Xiaoyao values the Wen family is that in addition to tea, there is also the secret instruction of that person. And that one cares more about Zhang Manho, the general who protects the country.

On the other side, His Royal Highness King Rui and Zhang Manchu entered the palace gate with three hundred soldiers, and a team of soldiers stopped and waited at Xuanwu Gate. His Royal Highness King Rui, Zhang Manchu and the six sons and others went to the saber weapon, and followed the father-in-law who was waiting here all the way to the Qianqing Palace.

For the soldiers who returned triumphantly and were people who had made immortal feats that had not been seen in a hundred years, the emperor was somewhat jealous in his heart, but he was also very happy. Now, make an exception to personally welcome people into the court outside the Qianqing Palace, and after King Rui and Zhang Manchu presented the head of the Xiongnu King who had been treated with lime, the emperor was even more happy to praise and encourage the court.

When the emperor's commendation decree is lowered, it is clear that all the soldiers are meritorious and all the officials will be promoted to the next level. The remaining 10,000 teachers were rewarded by the Holy Decree, and each of them was rewarded with two pieces of silver and a jar of wine.

Later, he was rewarded with Zhang Man's hoarding of mansion and fields, as well as thousands of taels of gold and silver, as well as countless cultural treasures. Anyway, after reading the holy decree in a circle, Zhang Manchu basically didn't remember it, only remembered some jade jewelry, and he said in his heart that he would go back and wear it for his daughter-in-law.

After kneeling to thank the emperor, Zhang Manchu glanced at His Royal Highness King Rui, who was still kneeling, and did not move easily. The two had privately discussed before, and above the court, they would preemptively return the military power and marshal seal, firstly, to solve the emperor's suspicions, and secondly, to show their loyalty to the monarch.

"Father, the emperor, the son has something to play." Without waiting for the admiration and congratulations above the court to fall, His Royal Highness King Rui Qin Jinrui knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully and spoke, "Trusted by my father, I gave my son and his son to act cheaply, but fortunately, my son did not disgrace his mission and now returned triumphantly, and now his father's wish has been fulfilled, and the people at the border pass are all grateful for the grace of the saint." Now the sons and daughters will return the handsome seal, and ask their father to allow the sons to return to the house to recuperate, which can be regarded as letting the sons and daughters have a leisure. ”
