At night, Zhang Yaozuo sat at his desk and looked at a painting in his hand, which was a tablet, and only four words were engraved on the tablet, 'Langya should stand'.

Zhu Yuanjun, who stood cautiously at the table, although he was not from a professional class, but after all, he was a person who had been a high-ranking official, and after enduring it for a long time, he still couldn't help it, and whispered: "Zhang Gong, it's a little inappropriate!" ”

Zhang Yaozuo's face sank, "What's wrong!" ”

Zhu Yuanjun's lips moved, but he still told the truth, "I think that these four words are a bit too straightforward, if you can be a little more subtle......."

"Subtle fart!"

Zhang Yaozuo glared at him fiercely and scolded: "Last year, you came up with the idea of what kind of fish belly brocade book Laizhou would make, and what kind of new Wang Li would be written, seven or eight bends around his mother, and in the end?" Where are your implicit results? It's like a fart, a gust of wind is gone, today I want to be blunt, let everyone in the capital know, this is God let Langya Wang make heir, this is the will of God, who dares to fight against the will of God! ”

Looking at Zhang Yaozuo's more and more arrogant face, Zhu Yuanjun became more and more frightened.

Zhang Yaozuo patted him on the shoulder, "I'll leave this matter to you, tomorrow at the earliest, five days at the latest, I have to see the results!" ”

.........

Zhu Yuanjun returned to his house with heavy steps, and as soon as he entered the study, he said to the tea boy Ma Yu'er: "Go and find Zhu Xing for me!" ”

Ma Yu'er hurriedly ran out, Zhu Yuanjun looked at the four words on the paper, only to feel extremely dazzling, 'Langya Dangli' made him think of 'Huang Tian Dangli', is this still Ruizhao? This is a rebellion!

Of course, Zhu Yuanjun also knew that it was too much to say rebellion, but these four words were too direct, and there was no room for relaxation, giving people a feeling like holding a knife on their neck, the pressure was too great, Zhang Yaozuo might be able to bear it, but what about himself? Why didn't Zhang Yaozuo think about himself.

Zhu Yuanjun sighed, and there was a trace of resentment in his heart, why did Zhang Yaozuo always leave this kind of dirty work to himself, and he couldn't hand it over to others?

Resentment is resentment, Zhu Yuanjun also understands in his heart that he is just an idle official with no real power, except for doing dirty things for Zhang Yaozuo to please him, what other capital does he have?

At this time, the voice of the second grandson Zhu Xing came from the door, "Is my grandfather looking for me?" ”

"Come in and talk!"

In a moment, a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old walked in from the door, he was Zhu Xing, the second grandson of Zhu Yuanjun.

Zhu Yuanjun has three sons and eleven grandchildren, and after the eldest grandson Zhu Xuan finished studying, he was assigned to Luzhou State School as a teaching assistant, which is also the way out for most of the students, to teach in a lower school.

But Zhu Yuanjun admires the second grandson Zhu Xing the most, Zhu Xing is extremely shrewd and capable, no matter what he explains, he can do it properly, without a little mistake, including last year's fish belly brocade book, he also did it very well, although it did not succeed in the end, but the responsibility is not on Zhu Xing.

"Grandson to grandfather!" Zhu Xing knelt down and bowed to pay respects.

Zhu Yuanjun waved his hand, "Get up!" ”

Zhu Xingxing stood with his hands down, Zhu Yuanjun looked at him for a while and asked, "How are the two Yannei of the Song family?" ”

"The grandson is still drinking with them today, they said..... said that they would have to wait for half a month, but they couldn't wait. ”

"Waiting for a month was proposed by them themselves, why do they have to change the hexagram?"

Zhu Xing pondered for a moment and said: "It should be the fire in Zhu Lou, so that they can see the opportunity and want to take the Strange Stone Pavilion while the iron is hot." ”

Song Zhen's son and nephew wanted to occupy the Strange Stone Pavilion, it was indeed a ploy planned by Zhu Yuanjun, but his real target was not Zhu Yuanfeng, but his nephew Zhu Xiaoyun, Zhang Yaozuo invited Zhu Xiaoyun to dinner several times, and Zhu Xiaoyun excused himself to shirk it, which really made it difficult for Zhu Yuanjun to be caught in the middle.

Once Fan Tiege is pressed, he will definitely go to Zhu Xiaoyun for help, this is the face of his son-in-law, Zhu Xiaoyun has to agree, but the relationship between Zhu Xiaoyun and Song Zhen is not good, Zhu Xiaoyun can't go directly to Song Zhen, if he wants to solve this matter, Zhu Xiaoyun can only ask Zhang Yaozuo.

This not only completed Zhang Yaozuo's explanation, but also slashed Zhu Yuanfeng's face, eager to kill two birds with one stone.

However, at this time, Zhu Yuanjun was a little irritable in his heart, Ruizhao's matter made him anxious, Zhang Yaozuo only gave him five days at most, how could he have the heart to care about the affairs of the Strange Stone Pavilion again.

He waved his hand, "If they want to go ahead, go ahead!" Whatever they want, don't ask me again. ”

"Does the grandson want to participate again?"

"You just tell them what I said, and you don't want to get involved, I have more important and urgent things for you to do."

"Grandson obeys!"

Zhu Xing didn't move, he knew that his grandfather still had a new task for him.

Zhu Yuanjun handed him the piece of paper, "How about this sentence?" ”

Zhu Xing glanced at it, and his face immediately became bitter, "Grandfather, this is a little inappropriate!" ”

Zhu Yuanjun was full of annoyance and said: "This is Zhang Yaozuo's decision, it's useless if I say it inappropriately." ”

Zhu Xing didn't dare to say anything, Zhu Yuanjun said again: "This time it's a stone stele, if you want to make it old, it feels like it's been buried for more than 20 years, and it must be completed within three days, which one are you familiar with?" ”

"I am very familiar with the Jiangji stone carvings next to Xinzheng Gate."

"Then find his house, and make sure he keeps it a secret!"

Zhu Xing agreed, and hurriedly left with the paper.

Zhu Yuanjun became more and more upset, as soon as he looked up, he saw Ma Yu'er sitting in the corner, Ma Yu'er was sitting in the corner of the study, and if there were special circumstances, he would be allowed to leave.

Today, Zhu Yuanjun was so uneasy that he actually forgot to call him out, his heart was on fire, and he said viciously: "Come over to me, lie down!" ”

The horse fish slowly crawled over like a dog.

.......

Xinzheng Gate is the west gate of the outer city, and it is also the street scene drawn by the Qingming Shanghe map, after entering the city, both sides are densely packed with shops, doing all kinds of livelihood, one of the shops is made of stone carvings, and the flag on the door of the shop reads 'Jiangji stone carving'.

The range of stone carvings is relatively wide, the most down-to-earth is to carve tombstones, engrave inscriptions at a point, and the grade is a little higher, such as carving various works of art, such as the wall on Fanning's mansion, and the lower grade is to do bridge stones, well stones, and so on.

Jiang Kee stone carvings are mainly famous for carving inscriptions and tombstones, and the business has been good for more than ten years.

At noon, people came and went on Xinzhengmen Street, particularly lively, a carriage slowly stopped in front of the Jiang Ji stone carving shop, the shopkeeper Jiang Wu looked up in surprise, only to see the carriage followed by two fierce horseback men, one of them turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and opened the door.

Out of the carriage came a tall young man, about twenty-three or fourteen years old, wearing a gauze hat, wearing a white dark coat, a leather belt around his waist, and holding a folding fan, he was not very handsome, but his tall nose and sharp gaze gave people a strong sense of coercion, Jiang Wu immediately realized that this was a superior person.

Jiang Wu hurriedly greeted him, and he came to his own shop! ’

"May I ask the guest officer, what can the shop do for you?"

The person who came was Fan Ning, he still remembered this small shop, and this shopkeeper who was as tall as Wu Dalang, when he was admitted to the imperial examination and rode a horse to Kua Street, he still remembered that this shopkeeper stood on the counter and waved to him, when he was in Taixue, this shopkeeper still knew him, but now, he has completely forgotten himself.

In fact, not only him, most people in the capital have forgotten themselves, and the years are a pig-killing knife, which not only changes people's appearance, but also cuts off their memories.

Fan Ning smiled faintly and said, "Does Lord Jiangdong still remember me?" ”

Jiang Wu looked at him blankly for a long time, and suddenly realized, "Are you ...... Fan Zhizhou! ”

Fan Ning smiled, "I didn't expect the Jiangdong Lord to remember me!" ”

"How can you forget! It's just that it's been too long, and the memory is a little blurry, please come in! ”

Jiang Wu enthusiastically invited Fan Ning to the back hall, and asked his wife to make tea, Fan Ning waved his hand, "Don't bother, it's just some small things I want to ask the Jiang owner for help." ”

"Fan Zhizhou, please say, as long as I can do it, I will do my best!"

"That's right, I want to build a dungeon in my backyard, I plan to use bluestone to pave it, and I need about fifteen thousand bluestones, is the owner of this business interested?"

Jiang Wu's heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it a big bluestone or a small bluestone?" ”

"Big bluestone, of course!"

Jiang Wu couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, the big bluestone was about ninety yuan, and the profit was half, and when this business was completed, he would make a net profit of seven hundred yuan.

He nodded again and again, "Of course you can, the price is ninety yuan, and I will send it to the house." ”

"I'll count you as a piece of a hundred dollars! and pay fifteen hundred taels of silver. ”

The market price of silver and copper coins is one or two to one thousand and one hundred wen, and the other party has increased the price by ten wen, and his profit from this business will reach a thousand yuan, and he will not be able to earn so much in two years.

He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, but Fanning said another twist, "But I have something I want to inquire about." ”

"What's the matter?"

Fan Ning smiled and said, "Zhu Xing came to you yesterday!" ”

Jiang Wu's face turned white, those four words made him not sleep all night, today Fan Ning came, he suddenly understood, Fan Ning was clearly coming for those four words.

"I ...... I ......"

Jiang Wu's lips trembled, but he couldn't speak, but Fan Ning waved his hand, "I won't embarrass you, you just need to tell me when Zhu Xing will come to pick up the goods, and the rest of the things have nothing to do with you, and then Qingshi's business will be handed over to you." ”

Jiang Wu hesitated for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "The day after tomorrow, the fifth watch!" ”

There was a hint of coldness in Fanning's eyes.
