When Zheng Haizhu woke up, he found himself lying on Wang Yuesheng's bed.

She got up and saw the light outside the window, and it was almost noon.

In the distance, the sound of the children in the school hall chattering and laughing could be faintly heard.

Zheng Haizhu opened the door and was greeted by Cui Yu'er, who was crackling firewood.

"Where's Miss Wang?" Zheng Haizhu rubbed her head in dull pain after a hangover and asked.

"She and I carried you into the house yesterday, and after serving you to sleep, she called Lu Gongzi out."

"Going out at night? Didn't you say where to go?"

Cui Yu'er shook her head and said, "But Mr. Lu didn't come back until midnight."

When Zheng Haizhu heard this, he hurriedly wiped his face, and didn't even bother to eat the vegetarian buns and porridge brought by Cui Yu'er, so he went to the pond in Qingyuan.

After the summer vacation, the dozen or so newly admitted dolls were watching Lu Xiangsheng's simulated boat collision attack in a naval battle, with a childish and lovely face with a smile as bright as the sun.

Zheng Haizhu squinted her eyes in a trance.

Just seven or eight hours ago, Xu Dahua's filthy dog official was still selling his power by the pool. The same place, because of different people, is a completely different scene.

Lu Xiangsheng walked over and said gently, "Everything is as usual. You're so tired, it's okay to go and rest for a while."

Zheng Haizhu said, "Enough rest. Where did Yuesheng go? You're not going to find Xu Dahua, are you?"

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head: "No, don't worry, she has understood that we will not abuse her, and she herself will not abuse herself. I put her on a night boat to Hangzhou, and she said she was going to pick up something, and she could help us, and we'll talk about it when we get it back."

Zheng Haizhu breathed a sigh of relief.

She believed in Lu Xiangsheng's carefree judgment.

Lu Xiangsheng is a gentleman, after understanding that it is impossible to be with Wang Yuesheng, he always treats each other politely, but he still cares about the safety of Miss Wang in his heart, if he feels fine, then he will be like him, waiting for Wang Yuesheng's next words with peace of mind.

Zheng Haizhu went back to eat his breakfast and lunch to his heart's content, picked up the disgusting mandarin duck pot, and went to Xu Guangqi's mansion to complain.

Fuck, Lao Tzu said everywhere.

As soon as she walked to the school gate, Gu Lanjie, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family, led Xu Huizhen in.

"Huizhen, you go to Mr. Yao and ask her to teach you how to draw Lamei, I have something to tell Miss Zheng."

Hye-jin nodded obediently and walked away with a drawing book.

Gu Lanjie and Zheng Haizhu walked under the osmanthus tree and said bluntly: "Early in the morning, Xu Dahua's entourage left all the Tuyi gifts sent by his father-in-law and you in front of our house, and also left a message from Xu Dahua, saying that you were raising prostitutes in the name of a school, and blamed your father-in-law for introducing you to him."

Zheng Haizhu sneered: "It's really bad and stupid, Grandma Gu, it's clear that this Xu Dahua thinks that since we are counting on Chang Yingku of Taifu Temple, we will respond to his requests and give him a friend like Wang Yuesheng to spoil him." Unexpectedly, I hit a wall, and I began to clumsily spread rumors."

Gu Lanjie made a reassuring gesture: "Ah Zhu is not in a hurry, my father-in-law learned that he mentioned this verse, but he actually understood. This man had a bad deed in the past, and when he asked his colleague to ask for a concubine, but he couldn't do it, so he asked his good friend to impeach that colleague for taking a prostitute as a concubine."

Zheng Haizhu's frowning brows stretched a little.

In this case, I don't have to explain to Xu Guangqi more.

Just go back and talk to Huang Zunsu again.

Xu Dahua is a bastard, Zheng Haizhu doesn't remember what the pinnacle of this person's career was in history, but looking at this kind of virtue, it is estimated that he will take refuge in Wei Zhongxian and others in the future, so he has to remind Huang Zunsu.

Gu Lanjie saw that Zheng Haizhu's face was better, and sighed softly and said, "My father-in-law said that you are all great juniors, and it would be good for Daming to have more children like this. But now in the court, most of the people who are holding money bags and carrying pens are people like Xu Dahua, and he can't help it, but this time, he really didn't expect this person's shamelessness to reach such a blatant point."

Zheng Haizhu said: "Such a person, the more the patch on his chest goes up, the more bad he is, the more stupid we ordinary people can't stand it. Grandma Gu, before yesterday, I couldn't have imagined that it would be so dignified

Pin Jingguan can even do such a thing as drugged the wine of the envoy from a good woman. Later, I figured it out, he just didn't care if he was in power, he didn't even care if he was a human or a beast, he still cared about his face?"

Gu Lanjie smiled, with a hint of joy in his heart that he had not mistaken someone.

From the time she saw Zheng Haizhu in Sheshan, Gu Lanjie decided that this child did not look like a thing in the pool from her performance in dealing with Guigong's arrest of Ru Leech, and sure enough, as time progressed, her different background from ordinary women was revealed.

As for why this girl has such insight and courage in addition to her integrity, Gu Lanjie, who believes in Western Buddhism, like countless fellow Buddhists, resorts to mystical explanations and regards her as an envoy of God or a Bodhisattva, and therefore will defend such a "messenger" more and more.

Gu Lanjie said to Zheng Haizhu: "Nanjing actually came a few days ago, saying that another parishioner was beaten, and although Wang Zongxian (referring to Wang Yinglin, the imperial history of the left capital) sympathized with the Western religion, it was not easy to run. The church asked his father-in-law to come forward, and his old man had already sailed north. Before leaving, he asked my husband to tell Governor Zhuang and Master Huang that Songjiang switch and self-made firearms, and he will continue to study when he returns to Beijing, so you must not be discouraged."

"By the way, this is for you by your father-in-law."

Speaking of this, Gu Lanjie took out a silver ticket and handed it to Zheng Haizhu.

Zheng Haizhu took it and looked at it, five hundred taels of silver.

Gu Lanjie said: "When my father-in-law returned to Songjiang this time, many gentlemen came to ask for words and gave them the money to polish the pen. My father-in-law also laughed at himself, his words were not as good as Dong Gong (referring to Dong Qichang), and his pen was not high."

When Zheng Haizhu heard this, the last bit of mustard in his heart because Xu Guangqi went to beg Xu Dahua was gone.

Xu Guangqi in history, after being reused by Emperor Tianqi in his later years, ran around for military training and anti-gold, and his family had no money left after his death.

He is different from many wealthy and wise gentry in Jiangnan in the late Ming Dynasty, after all.

There will be no more than refined egoists in every era.

With this silver ticket in front of him, how can he teach Zheng Haizhu not to be moved?

Okay Xu Hanlin, you continue to go to Datianting and get the permit.

We, young people, continue to engage in scientific research.

As well as making money.

The Songjiang artillery building working group will definitely not be disbanded.

……

Hangzhou, Lingyin Temple.

It is the most beautiful autumn season in Qiantang written by Empress Li.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing on the mountain stream, the cinnamon falls in the wind, and the wonderful sound and fragrant fragrance complement each other.

In front of a quiet courtyard in the back mountain, Wang Yuesheng knocked on the firewood.

The bamboo incense came in broken steps, opened the door and led Wang Yuesheng into the meditation room.

"The county lord."

Wang Yuesheng knelt down and bowed to the old man sitting under the window.

Miao Ruiyun put down the embroidery bandage in his hand and said kindly, "It's not in front of Zheng Shoufu and General Liu, who gave me any great gifts. Come and sit down."

Wang Yuesheng got up as he said and sat on a round stool brought by Zhuxiang.

"When did it come?"

"If you go back to the county lord, yesterday at noon, the night ship arrived at Yongjinmen Wharf. Because I knew that Zheng Zhilong was in Songjiang these days and would not bump into Hangzhou, after I got off the boat, I went to look for their "Haoming" trading company, and I really found it in Qinghefang at the foot of Wu Mountain.

Miao Ruiyun said with a smile: "Jiangnan is all two crops of rice, harvest a batch of rice before the beginning of autumn, hull the husk and grind finely, the rice merchant is not selling at this time. It is estimated that they are to be sold to southern officials and businessmen in Jingshi. This year, there will be a drought in March and a flood in June, and the grain harvest will fail, including the rice that has been planted in the past."

Miao Ruiyun actually went to Hangzhou on the first day of worshipping the Buddha, and sent Zhuxiang to see the trading company opened by Zheng Haizhu and others to find out the current situation.

Today, Wang Yuesheng's active and accurate report made Miao Ruiyun very satisfied.

"So, Yuesheng, you see, this girl surnamed Zheng has a very good eye for choosing people. I didn't know it at first, but after listening to her mention it, I let General Liu inquire about it, Mao Wenlong was a garrison, and Governor Zhang of Liaodong also knew,

It can be seen that this person is quite capable of doing things over there. Now that he sees, his son can also become the right-hand man of Zheng Yatou's trading company. After all, Zheng Yatou is very good at gathering talents, and I told Zheng Shoufu that General Liu and I are on the mainland, and I really want to support this person."

Miao Ruiyun said while observing Wang Yuesheng.

She was a person who had been in the palace for many years, and she was very sensitive to the look of a young woman.

When Wang Yuesheng heard himself praise Zheng Haizhu, there was an eager expression on his face and he wanted to add.

"County Lord, Miss Zheng's heart is also very good."

"Oh? What?" Miao Ruiyun asked.

Wang Yuesheng then carefully explained the fact that Zheng Haizhu and Xu Dahua turned their faces.

At the end, Wang Yuesheng said with a tone that was half excited and half earnest: "So this time, it's really a coincidence, I don't have to find other reasons to leave Songjiang temporarily, and come to meet Zheng Shoufu with the county lord. Didn't the county lord say that Zheng Shoufu wanted to reward me this time? How about I exchange this reward for silver and make a firearm for Miss Cheng?"

Miao Ruiyun's sharp gaze flashed.

Interestingly, the descendants of this Fang family, like the girl surnamed Zheng, are not stingy.

Miao Ruiyun smiled, "It seems that you like Miss Zheng quite a lot."

Wang Yuesheng did not hide his emotion: "She really has a bit of backbone."

Miao Ruiyun said at the right time: "No wonder you like her. Your ancestors, the most respectable thing is the backbone of the reader. If you look at the scholars who are officials in the Ming Dynasty today, they are all the servants of the temple and the like. So the country still has to go back to people like us."

Wang Yuesheng nodded heavily.

For this topic of Jiangshan, she has changed from the shock and trepidation when she first heard it a few years ago to a firm belief now.

Her miserable childhood, a humiliating teenager, was told by a visitor from heaven, "Your ancestor is Fang Xiaoru", she had an answer.

If it weren't for the usurper, she would have been born two hundred years later, and she would still have the surname Fang, instead of being forced to change her surname like other relatives who survived the thrilling situation back then. She and her cousins, perhaps like Han Ximeng and Zhang Dai, are the daughters and sons of a noble family who have nothing to do with their lives and work.

She raised her head and said to Miao Ruiyun calmly, "The county lord said let me win her heart, this is really a good opportunity."

Miao Ruiyun stared at her: "Last year, you came to tell me that Zhang Dai actually wanted to redeem you, please Miss Zheng to give you a place to stay, I know that when such a coincidence happens, if you continue to let you stay in Qinhuai River and listen to the secrets of the DPRK and China that the officials confided after drinking too much, it will be a condescension. Now it seems that you are really fit to stay with that girl."

Wang Yuesheng said: "She doesn't look down on me at all, so compared to the trading company that intervened in her, why don't I use this opportunity to become her helper in making firearms? With General Liu and Xu Guangqi going to run, Songjiang opened a cannon workshop like the Franky people in Haojing, and the imperial court should be able to approve it, right? It's just that they don't give money."

Miao Ruiyun Actually, after listening to Wang Yuesheng's description of Zheng Haizhu's predicament of lack of money, he had already made a decision.

She was not in a hurry to say it, she just wanted to see Wang Yuesheng's heart.

At this moment, another test has been completed, and Miao Ruiyun can also put on a sincere attitude.

"Good girl, you have also suffered a lot over the years, the Lord asked Zheng Shoufu to reward you with five thousand taels of silver, which you deserve, and you keep it by your side for emergency use in the future. As for the money that envelops Miss Zheng, the old body will prepare another "heirloom" for you that can be exchanged for a lot of money. Zhuxiang, go and bring the things that have been sent to the south this time."

Zhuxiang hurriedly got up and walked inside.

During this interval, Miao Ruiyun's face became more benevolent, and he said in a warm voice: "Girl, in the future, we will not be able to see it in Songjiang, you must not shout such a flaw as 'county lord'."

"Yuesheng remembers the teachings of Miaotai."

"What a clever child. By the way, after hearing that Zhang Dai met you, Miss Zheng led him to meet Huang Zunsu?"

"Yes, he told me that Master Huang is a kind person, not as old-fashioned and crazy as the legends on the outside

。」

"Well, this person's career is also very promising. His wife is now friendly with Miss Zheng, and she doesn't dislike you, and you should try to get close to his family, and you will be able to use it in the court in the future."

"Yuesheng understands, and he definitely wants to vote for Yao's favor.

Miao Ruiyun picked up the embroidery bandage in his hand and said meaningfully: "No matter how beautiful the picture is, it is also embroidered stitch by stitch. Let's not be in a hurry, let's save talents first. General Liu said that the one on the dragon chair now, the bones of the body can't last for a few years. At that time, let's see if General Ma can get the blessing of the king's actions, the brothers can go to the wall, and those outside our wall can sit and reap the profits. If the younger brother didn't kill the elder brother, then let's wait, and Jiannu will also consume a lot of troops in the imperial court who can be the king. The day we win, it will always come, and then the Lord will crown you as the county lord, and you will be married to Zhang Dai openly."

When Wang Yuesheng heard the longing, Zhuxiang came back with the "baby" that Miao Ruiyun said.

As Zhu Xiang carefully opened the cloth bag, the crystal in Wang Yuesheng's eyes became obviously blazing.

She stretched out her hand and stroked the shiny black lacquered paulownia wood.

Miao Ruiyun saw that the slender and beautiful jade fingers stopped at the words "Dongpo Monk in the Second Year of Shaosheng", trembling slightly.

"My God. This is, this is ......."

Wang Yuesheng was a little incoherent.

Miao Ruiyun said slowly: "The bright moon enters the room, and the white clouds are in the sky. All feelings are over, and the piano says goodbye. Fly to the birds, trickle springs. The wind is soothing, and the panhuan is loosened. Eliminate worries and pride, and rest and wander."

Wang Yuesheng burst into tears.

Miao Ruiyun patted her on the shoulder: "Take it and sell it for a big price, and I will come back in the future."

Wang Yuesheng said: "Yuesheng understands that Yuesheng will not be greedy for this piano."

Miao Ruiyun said again: "You informed Miss Zheng in time that she had the idea of making a cannon, very good, there is someone in Hangzhou now, and it is suitable to introduce Miss Zheng to her."
