On the day of the beginning of winter, Sister He, the beautiful little master of Suzhou, should be relieved if she has a soul in heaven - the "Peony Pavilion Commentary" she painstakingly wrote was printed and published.

When Zheng Haizhu came to the door of the Nine Lotus Nunnery, he saw Zhang Yanke dressed in colorful brocade, like a majestic tabby cat, sitting at the door, shouting and selling books.

The people of the county crowded one after another, stretching their heads and necks to watch with great interest, just like they had seen the county lord ascend to the hall before.

A few old Xiucai also heard the news and rushed over, and when they saw the picture in front of them, the handsome boy was selling engravings related to the commentary of "The Peony Pavilion" in front of the nunnery.

My Yao Shunyu, Zhou Tianzi, Confucian sage Meng Yasheng, Zhu Lao Master, and all the first emperors of the Ming Dynasty, open your eyes and take a look! Now that the world is declining, how can a woman write a book and sell it for money!

It's still such a book of prostitution and theft!

The government can't help it, the Ming Dynasty is going to die, it's going to die.

Where is Zhang Yanke a fuel-efficient lamp, standing up with a hand warmer, with a straight face,-for-tat accusing them of having eyes and not knowing pearls and jade, and reading and reading become fools.

He said aloud to some young men who looked like scholars but were poorly dressed, and said: "A few brothers, please patronize here, the younger brother will give a good book and a penny of pure silver." You must be aware of your neighbors, the master of the Nine Lotus Nunnery comes from the hairpin family, is benevolent and generous, not only to give the Dharma, but also willing to make good connections with the heart of literature. Regardless of the suffering of being wronged before, Mrs. Shi still lives in this Shanghai County, looking at her father, old folks, aunts and sisters, helping her a lot, and often taking care of her. This time, for the construction of the matter, I came to Songjiang to hire a gardening master, and before leaving, I came to repair the Nine Lotus Nunnery, and in the future, I will also accompany my Shaoxing Zhang's female rolls, and often come to visit relatives. ”

Zhang Yanke said endlessly.

The young scholars of Songjiang didn't expect such a gentleman who didn't wear a headscarf, but he was quite literary when he opened his mouth, and his demeanor was even more good, and the meaning of his words was also reasonable, and it also showed that he had a wealthy family.

The young men often don't have the sour and old-fashioned atmosphere of the old talents, so they stepped forward one after another and chatted with Zhang Yanke.

Zheng Haizhu first walked into the nunnery to greet Sister He, accepted her sincere gratitude, and talked for a while before coming out again.

Seeing that Zhang Yanke was a little free, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "The third prince is too capable of talking, the so-called belly has poetry and books talk show, if you really spend time on your career, you will also be a scholar." ”

Zhang Yanke listened to the novel but not difficult to understand words such as "talk show" and "Xueba", and said proudly: "Miss Zheng rarely praises me, and I don't scold the girl. Hey, by the way, when I go back to the play book that my eldest brother wrote for Father-in-law Liu, I will also go to play a role. Those eight strands of articles, tied up, what do you do? Life is like a play, and singing in the play is interesting. ”

Then he glanced around a few times, and whispered to Zheng Haizhu: "You're not stupid, you can't see it?" Today, I am not here to sell books, but to sell my face, to show the face of my Zhang family in Shaoxing, so that the neighbors know that the teacher in the nunnery has someone to support her, and don't continue to bully her because she has suffered a wrongful lawsuit. ”

Zheng Haizhu smiled knowingly and said sincerely: "Actually, you are also an old Jianghu, you know the path of this person's heart, otherwise your eldest brother will not leave you alone in Shanghai County, Zhang Luo, and go back to Shaoxing first." ”

After that, he took out his purse, counted out the silver horns, pointed to the books that were quite elegantly engraved, and said, "How can my young lady miss such a good book." She wanted to buy twenty copies and give them to the handkerchiefs. ”

"Okay, Miss Han is bold and discerning." Zhang Yanke instructed the servant to wrap the book in a cloth bag and hand it to Zheng Haizhu.

He pretended to make a gesture again: "Zheng Xijiu of Shoukuan Academy, what else do you have to order?" ”

Zheng Haizhu was not pretending to be polite to him, and said bluntly: "Yes, please take the time to move and follow me to see the field, half an hour ago, I just signed the lease deed of the academy in Yaxing." ”

……

Shanghai County.

In front of the simple but still intact gate, a middle-aged man in neat cloth is leading two craftsmen to measure the size of the door frame.

It was Zheng Haizhu who asked for rental information and paid the consultation fee by the Yuehe River, called Cao Jingting.

Zhang Yanke was happy, and arched his hand: "Ouch, my brother's name is good, there is a famous storyteller named Liu Jingting in Suzhou and Hangzhou, my brother loves to watch dramas the most, and then he loves to listen to Liu Jingting's storytelling." ”

Cao Jingting was born in the tooth shop, and he was sophisticated and generous in dealing with people, and he said respectfully but not humbly to the young rich children: "What the son said is that he eats open meals like the commentators. I have eaten this bowl of open rice for more than ten years. However, from today onwards, I will be sent by Gongzi and Miss Zheng. ”

Zheng Haizhu explained on the side: "Third son, as soon as you and the eldest prince make a move, our academy will not start with a small fight. I have to accompany the eldest lady to the Gu Mansion next year, so I will invite Brother Cao to be the steward of the academy. All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted. The two daughters of Cao's steward family will also come to the academy to learn literacy and art. ”

Zhang Yanke bowed her head and praised a few words in front of Cao Jingting, saying "Miss Zheng is a heroine among women", which can be regarded as helping the president to press the executives as an employer, but she remembered something in her heart.

He followed Zheng Haizhu to the door, and after carefully inspecting the courtyard and houses that were still empty but neatly arranged, he turned around and said solemnly: "Miss Zheng, can we still place a female steward in our academy?" ”

Zheng Haizhu was stunned for a moment, and then stared at him meaningfully: "Is it your confidante?" ”

Zhang Yanke flattened his mouth and "coughed", glared and said: "I am such a bright and upright person, how can I have any confidantes." Besides, if I fancy the red face, how can I be willing to be a confidant outside, I will definitely have to carry a sedan chair to welcome home. ”

Zheng Haizhu suddenly realized: "Is it your brother's?" ”

"That's right, it's the red man on the bank of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, Wang Yuesheng."

Zhang Yanke looked up at the clouds: "After all, it's my own brother, I'm kind-hearted and softer, how can I be willing to see my eldest brother gradually widen and stand tall for this matter." But I'm the Zhang family in Shanyin, how can I let Miss Wang enter the door. ”

When Zhang Yanke said this, he looked at Zheng Haizhu and did not change color, so he continued to consider his rhetoric and said slowly: "Miss Wang is arrogant, and my eldest brother doesn't want to put a house to trap her, that is to treat her like a puppy and a kitten, and wronged her." Originally, I thought that there was no solution to this matter, but this time in Songjiang, the girl's behavior, as well as the current situation of Sister He, made me Zhang Yanke feel that in fact, women have many ways to live, some ways to live, which are very fresh and more decent. Furthermore, I thought that Miss Zheng and Ru Leek could have a relationship without any trouble......"

Zheng Haizhu interrupted him: "I understand. Third son, I'm glad you can look at me like this. Indeed, in my eyes, the women of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, the girl Wang of the Red Pavilion, or the Qing Dynasty Ru Leek, there is no distinction between high and low, and me, or even you and your brother. I think you must first ask the lady Wang what she means, and if she wishes, I can allow her to live in the academy and ask her to teach the children poetry, poetry, and music. ”

When Zhang Yanke heard this, he was just about to show his joy, but when he heard Zheng Haizhu's tone become serious: "But the third son, there is a sentence, I also have to make it clear, since Miss Wang has come to be the housekeeper and female gentleman of the academy, she has to explain clearly to the past, and she can no longer pretend to be the female envoy of Qinhuai who holds the moon with many stars." Wash off the fat powder, remove the halo, change the name, and teach the children here with peace of mind. As for your eldest brother coming to Songjiang to meet her, as long as it's not on duty, I don't care. ”

Zheng Haizhu's three chapters of the law made Zhang Yanke a little overwhelmed.

But he soon realized that the more Miss Zheng set the rules like this, the more it showed that she had no intention of refusing, so he simply said: "Okay, the girl reminded me that I will go back and discuss with my eldest brother." ”

Zheng Haizhu sighed and finished saying his last meaning: "But in my opinion, your eldest brother will still make the women inside and outside the family sad." ”

Zhang Yanke almost blurted out: "How come? ”

yes, how could it be? Her future sister-in-law doesn't have to face the humiliating scene of her husband taking her female envoy home to be a concubine, and Wang Yuesheng doesn't have to deal with those tacky merchants of the turtle king, move to a pure and simple place, and meet her true sweetheart from time to time.

Isn't this a joy for everyone?

Zheng Haizhu looked at Zhang Yanke's confused expression, smiled shallowly and helplessly, waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about it, you won't understand." You pay the most, so let's do it first, and then wait until you ask Miss Wang. As long as she doesn't behave out of line, my nephew and I will treat her well. ”

Zhang Yanke let out a sullen "oh".

If, after dealing with him for these days, he did gradually have a charming mind about the Zheng girl in front of him, then at this moment, these few thoughts suddenly disappeared.

Zhang Yanke clearly captured that Zheng Haizhu's gaze, under the resoluteness of saying one thing and another, concealed a clear disdain.

For a woman with such a gaze, he Zhang Yanke can talk together, explore and break the eucalyptus, and even do business with her, but he definitely doesn't want to take him into his arms.

When I felt that the atmosphere was a little cold, I suddenly heard an "aunt", and I saw a half-sized boy running at the gate.

"Oh, this is Shoukuan, right?" Zhang Yan said.

Zheng Haizhu responded and instructed his nephew who rushed to the front: "Shoukuan, this is the third son of Zhangfu, hurry up and give a big salute." ”

The young man Zheng Shoukuan was busy and deeply, and after raising his head, he told Zheng Haizhu a little angrily: "Auntie, I went to Master Huang's house today to ask for words, and Master Huang said that his father would not allow his mother to be a tutor, let alone give us an inscription." ”
