The next day, it wasn't until almost noon that Wang Yuesheng really woke up from his hangover.

She asked Cui Yu'er how she looked when Miss Zheng left last night.

Cui Yu'er said, "Miss Zheng just sighed a few times, let me guard you, don't choke when you vomit filth."

"Isn't she annoyed?"

"Last night? No, I don't. Not today, I saw her just now, and I was very happy, with the man pulling the cart. I guess I bought a new lump."

Wang Yuesheng hurriedly freshened up, did not apply powder, did not wear hairpin rings, plain clothes and skirts, and went to the blacksmith shop in Fuyuan to find Zheng Haizhu.

But there are still only Lu Xiangsheng and the masters of the Ge family.

"Mr. Lu, where is Miss Zheng?"

"She put down the iron material and left, saying that she was going to see Governor Zhuang and Master Huang. Firearms, no matter what style they use, require gunpowder buckshot. If you make pills, Miss Zheng said, if the government doesn't nod, she won't dare to try it."

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng immediately saw that Wang Yuesheng's eyes were swollen and his face was tired, but he didn't want to show his concern too much, and only tried to use a warm voice and a gentle tone to talk to her, hoping to make her feel more comfortable and relaxed.

It has only been six or seven days since he first met Miss Wang, but Lu Xiangsheng has begun to realize that on every new day, it seems that he is more happy to see Miss Wang than to see the collector's edition of the military book.

Early in the morning, in the sound of Master Ge's jingling wrought iron, he meticulously carved two hexagonal pieces of wood.

If Miss Wang is satisfied after acceptance, he is willing to take over the remaining more than 100 pieces of wood, and does not need Miss Wang to move her fingers to do such rough work.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't realize that something was wrong with him.

If it was in the past, he couldn't look down on the haggard tone of his peers, even if he occasionally went to the Qinglou to socialize in the same year as Wenyou, he just reluctantly came to the scene to order a meal, and then found a way to go back to the house to read, not to mention the contempt for those who sleep in flowers and willows.

Until now, I really met a graceful beauty, and I know how many poems, lyrics and songs, but I can't sing the inexplicable love thread in my heart, wanting to talk about it, and trying and fearing.

However, Wang Yuesheng's gaze when facing Lu Xiangsheng was still as quiet as a pool, without ripples.

After listening to Lu Xiangsheng's narration, her eyes went over the two quite excellent wooden lumps on the lathe in front of her, and fell to the iron lumps piled up outside the fiery iron workshop.

That should be the iron material that Zheng Haizhu just bought.

Wang Yuesheng remembered every moment of his gaffe in front of Miss Zheng last night.

A former Qinhuai Hongqi person has come out of the quagmire, but he told the love and hate in those happy scenes in the past to a busy woman from a good family like Miss Zheng over and over again, naturally out of completing the task assigned to her by Shangfeng.

However, Wang Yuesheng also sincerely sighed that Miss Zheng's world is another world entirely.

Miss Zheng has done so much this morning.

After Wang Yuesheng was in a trance, he walked to the lathe: "Thank you Lu Gongzi for helping you cut the ingredients."

Then he counted the time with his fingers: "After July, the piano will be in the shade room. There are many adhesive sections of the baiqin, and the bottom plate of the panel is completely closed, and the weather in Songjiang takes about a month. Then there is the gray tire, which is a little long, you have to scrape more than ten or twenty times, and then enter the shade room, and come out of the Dragon Boat Festival next year, grinding, polishing, and fixing the emblem, it will be fast. Then, in a year and two months, if the materials I have hoarded can produce four pianos, and I ask the old people to shout and shout, I can exchange it for more than two hundred taels of silver, and I can make you thirty combination guns, right?"

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment, and then was greatly moved.

Miss Wang is really not a vulgar fan.

When they meet, they can fully support their ideals.

Lu Gongzi, who was greatly moved, decided to cut the ingredients with all his might before leaving Songjiang to go to Yingtianfu to participate in the township test.

This feeling of going both ways with people in the same way is great.

Until one day not long after, Miss Wang, who said that she was going to adjust the lacquer, did not appear in the Fuyuan, and in the Qingyuan to the east, there was the music of the piano and flute ensemble.

Lu Xiangsheng followed the sound and left

From a distance, I saw that by the pond where I had taken the dolls to test the water war, fire and thunder and the collision of boats, Miss Wang was caressing the qin, and a man with a Confucian scarf was standing next to her.

At the end of the song, the man picked up the thin booklet again and began to sing:

"The railing is two watches on the moon, and it is difficult to see Lang Lang,

Letters came to me, asking me to reharmonize with the phoenix, but I didn't see it in front of me, and taught me how to do the tears,

Pick up a red light, re-read the book and return to the date carefully, and the taxi should be said to Changshan."

The man had only sung two sentences, and Wang Yuesheng, who was listening sideways, seemed to have found inspiration, and began to stroke the strings, playing a tune that was completely different from the ensemble of Fang Cai's qin flute, but which fit seamlessly with the song.

Lu Xiangsheng stood in a daze.

Behind him, Zheng Haizhu, who bought reed root juice from a merchant outside the door to cool off, saw it clearly.

Zheng Haizhu stepped forward and said softly, "This is Zhang Dai's son of Shaoxing."

Lu Xiangsheng's stiff elbow loosened, and his forearm hung down.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself.

When he saw Zhang Yanke's "Zhang Gongzi" more than half a month ago, from Wang Yuesheng's alienated politeness, he naively thought that even if Wang Yuesheng had an ambiguous background, he had nothing to do with Zhang Yanke.

Perhaps, Zhang Yanke's ancestors have an old relationship with the ancestors of this Wang girl, and Yanke's son is just a friend of the world and a helper to save the dust.

As everyone knows, the Zhang Gongzi in front of him is the "main master".

Luan Feng and Ming, only envy the mandarin ducks and not the immortals, the master.

Lu Xiangsheng sighed deeply in his heart. He turned his head to look at Zheng Haizhu.

This little sister, who met for some legendary reasons and intersected but poured her head up, handed over a jar of fragrant reed root juice.

Lu Xiangsheng asked himself, he couldn't blame Zheng Haizhu for not disclosing the existence of Zhang Gongzi to himself at the beginning.

This woman is like this, making money is very stammering, but in front of the faint sign of human affection, she waits and sees, does not mix, it seems that no matter what the ending, she has no intention of nodding or shaking her head.

In fact, in a sense, this performance of contradicting the defenders made Lu Xiangsheng more and more adaptable.

Lu Xiangsheng smiled at Zheng Haizhu and said, "Sister, it's the first time I know that the piano can accompany mountain songs."

Zheng Haizhu also looked at him with a smile: "Everything is like this, whether it is done well or not depends on the person who does it, whether it is suitable or not. Well, would you like to come in with me and say hello?"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded.

……

This summer, most of Zheng Haizhu's energy will not be put on the emotional story of the male and female supporting characters in the school.

She only gave up a little time to lead Zhang Dai to visit Huang Zunsu and his wife.

After all, in the eyes of most people, the Yuan Matching Sect and the Outer Room Sect are the same thing, let alone pulling together as colleagues.

Yao's grandmother, who is a wife, can now be regarded as the actual second-in-command of the school, Zheng Haizhu placed Zhang Dai's outer room in the school, how can she not greet the Huang family's grandmother.

Fortunately, Zhang Dai's emotional intelligence passed, and he first put his posture very low, but he was also frank, emphasizing that Wang Yuesheng was also from an official craftsman who worked for the imperial court, and sighed that there was a lover who could not resist the shackles of fate.

After such a bitter water, Yao Shi spoke first, saying that the world is often unsatisfactory, leave one or two points of good fate in Miss Zheng's school, she is soft-hearted, Miss Zheng is not a person who cuts her face, and Miss Wang can live in peace of mind.

After this section of the relationship was straightened out, Zheng Haizhu immediately pulled out his legs and hurried to Zhenjiang.

In order to implement the business of a shipping insurance company as soon as possible.

In this era, more than ninety percent of the people were illiterate, and the captains and sailors were naturally illiterate, and the subordinates sent by the wealthy merchants to transport goods may not recognize a few words.

Therefore, Zheng Haizhu decided not to be too bookish, and to engage in a lot of insurance clauses when he came up, but to learn from Liu Bang's down-to-earth model of entering the customs and the three chapters of the law.

"Estimate the value of the goods, and then look at the distance to arrive at a silver coin. If the ship capsizes and the cargo is damaged, the Zheng family loses money."

The slogan is so popular

It is easy to understand to the outside world, when the owner of the goods comes to ask, Zheng Haizhu is ready to take Zheng Shoukuan and talk to the other party one by one.

For example, small boats, old boats, are risky and have to be paid for.

Shipwrecks and fires are all in charge, and money has to be added.

If it is finished if it is wet, it is impossible to recover the residual value of the goods, and you have to add money.

Along the way, the robbers robbed the goods, and it was useless to add money, and it was not covered.

At the same time, Wu Bangde, who did not show up in the trading company, according to the previous discussion with Zheng Haizhu, trained and recruited male and female slender men, dressed up in disguise, and acted in a scene of capsizing, fishing, discounted shipment, and Zheng's claim settlement, which spread among the shippers who delivered the goods in Zhenjiang.

In this way, for about half a month, there began to be flexible Hui merchant shippers to ask about underwriting matters, and then, Huaiyang merchants also followed.

Zheng Haizhu is most worried about not that someone will learn this model immediately, after all, there is so much silver business, and people in this era are still a little trembling, and they are more willing to use this money to pour real goods.

What she is wary of is insurance fraud. The ship's boss, who acted recklessly and unscrupulously, may collude with the shipper's subordinates, lie about the accident, and swallow the cargo privately, and the insurance company will lose money anyway.

Zheng Haizhu talked about this hidden danger with Wu Bangde, and Wu Bangde replied directly, this is not a hidden danger, this is a hidden danger.

"Miss Zheng, there is a saying among the people, the car and boat shop should be killed if you are not guilty. We don't believe that every righteous slaughterer is a dog, ruthless is the most scholar."

Zheng Haizhu nodded and said, "Good and evil in the world are already crowded and endless. When we buy and sell, we see only evil, and we dare not open this business. What we need to do is to fight evil with ruthlessness. If there is a danger in the future, and the owner of the cargo comes to claim compensation, the spies should go out to find out what happened to the shipwreck site, and whether there is any change in the life of the ship's sailors after the accident. If there is really fraud, those who recover the losses for our trading company will be rewarded."

After thinking about it, he said, "Hey, the word spy is not good, and the word scout is not good, the ten men and three women we raise are called intelligence officers."

Wu Bangde smiled: "Then it's better to set up an intelligence bureau like the Beijing Division Soldier Bureau, the Needlework Bureau, and the Leather Bureau."

Zheng Haizhu didn't smile, just stared at him: "Wu Gongzi, what you said is exactly what I think. I believe that one day the two of us will be able to come in handy, rather than just investigating the insurance system."

Wu Bangde listened to the word "the two of us", his heart moved slightly, but there was no difference on his face, but he said straightforwardly: "Then the hall of this bureau belongs to me, right?"

Zheng Haizhu smiled: "Yes, but the heads of the War Bureau, the Needlework Bureau, and the Weaving Bureau are all internal officials, and they are named as admirals. How can Wu Gongzi be compared to them, the people in our hands will call you a bureau."

Wu Bond looked satisfied: "This name is good, it sounds like a master."

The atmosphere was relaxed, and Zheng Haizhu finally decided to ask a question that had not been asked before.

"Wu Gongzi, why haven't you started a family yet?"

When Wu Bangde heard this, he gently let out a "hmm" with a raised tone.

Zheng Haizhu has been very attentive to his tone since he dealt with him.

With her limited experience in getting along, Wu Bond used to use a somewhat stunned tone to cover up his state of deliberating answers.

This often means that answering the question is not as common as going to the country to buy a scarf, such as slogans such as "the husband should start a business first and then start a family" and so on.

Wu Bangde paused for a moment and said, "Originally, I should have married a woman three or four years ago, and I was the matchmaker of General Qi, and I used to raise the daughter of a general. The general fled from the battle, and many soldiers died, and Li Yongfang convicted him and beheaded him. His wife and daughter were sent to Beijing, and they were not official slaves."

Zheng Haizhu guessed that the answer was not very good, but she didn't expect to hear the words "Li Yongfang".

There was a sudden change in her eyes, making Wu Bangde think that she was sorry for her recklessness.

Wu Bangde then took the initiative to add a few more details that Qi Jin had tried to rescue, to show that he was not disgusted to answer this question

。

Zheng Haizhu realized that when dealing with the right group of civilians, officials and generals, opportunities like today's often come unexpectedly.

She then squinted her eyes, revealing a look of "I don't believe those nonsense", and said very bluntly: "Do you know that this Li Yongfang is not cowardly and finds his subordinates to block the gun afterwards?"

Wu Bangde did not answer immediately.

Zheng Haizhu sincerely intercepted the other party's gaze: "I think very simply, the old man treats you as his own son, how can he be sloppy in the matter of marriage. The in-laws in his picture will never be rats. As for Li Yongfang, I don't know who it is, is he a civilian official sent by the imperial court to lead the troops?"

Wu Bangde raised his eyebrows: "He is a military general. Your uncle, Mao Wenlong, didn't tell you about this person?"

Zheng Haizhu shook her head: "No."

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Wu Bangde's mouth: "Then I'll tell you the same, he's a rat."

Zheng Haizhu gave Wu Bangde a thumbs up in his heart, and said secretly, yes, this Li Yongfang is not only a rat, but also the first senior general of the Jin Army after the surrender of the Ming Empire, and many of us in later generations will know it.

Zheng Haizhu continued to ask, "Then this person is still in office?"

"Yes, still guarding Fushun."

Zheng Haizhu said, "If I remember correctly, is Fushun in the east of Shenyang? Is it blocking the gateway to Houjin?"

Wu Bangde said: "Yes, not far east of Fushun Pass, there is a place called Salhu, I heard that it is actually controlled by Nurhachi."

"So," Zheng Haizhu frowned, "How can Fushun Pass ask a rat to guard it?"

Wu Bond sighed noncommittally.

Zheng Haizhu suddenly said coldly, half humorously and half seriously: "If Li Yongfang has a precedent of cowardice, he will sacrifice the city to ***."

Wu Bangde also showed a similar tone: "There are too many things in the future that cannot be guaranteed. We happened to be in Liaodong at that time. Didn't Miss Zheng say last time that rushing into battle to kill is also killing, and assassination is also killing?"

Zheng Haizhu said with a straight face: "Wu Gongzi, I really think that if Fushun Pass is guarded by such a general, it will be a big disaster. There was a famine in Shandong, and those peasants who were honest and could only hoe would rebel. Now, if there is a famine in Jianzhou Jurchen, they will directly bring bows and horses to detain Fushun Pass, what should they do?"

Wu Bangde stared at Zheng Haizhu and said meaningfully, "It's a pity that the place where you are sitting now is the Zheng Insurance Trading Company, not the cabinet of the Jingshi."

"Well, we can't change people, can't we kill people?" Zheng Haizhu smiled shallowly, and did not have a fierce tone.

Wu Bond stood up: "It's too early to say this. By the way, if you have the goods to go to your Mao Shibo later, I can help you escort them over."

Zheng Haizhu pursed her lips: "It's a good idea, bring a few intelligence officers, the accent of Qingzhou Yanzhou is not too different from the accent of Jiaoliao."
