Zheng Haizhu dusted off the dirt on his body, took two steps forward, and asked the man in brown in a loud voice: "I don't know when I offended that Wei father-in-law, are you the servants of his mansion outside the palace?" ”

The man in brown sneered: "Stinky girl, you have offended the people in your father-in-law's house, and we are going to find you unlucky." ”

The man in the green robe once again stood in front of Zheng Haizhu: "Don't be rude to this girl." ”

Zheng Haizhu's eyes swept over the man's rather handsome side face, but it was not amazing, but muttered.

Girl?

Regardless of age, and say that I have such an obvious bun, how can you default to me as a woman who has not left the cabinet?

At this time, in the direction of the meditation room, several monks hurriedly came. Among them, a white-bearded old man, an ochre monk's robe, and a diagonal robe shimmer in the sunlight with a swastika texture.

"I am the presiding officer of this temple," the old monk looked at the brown-clothed thug like a knife with two sharp eyes under his white eyebrows, "No matter where your master comes from, you don't want to make trouble here and disturb the purity of Buddhism." Did you leave on your own, or did I let the apprentices kidnap you and go to the Southern Patrol Hall to see the military master? ”

Seeing that the old monk had gathered a few young monks one after another, and then looked at the servants of the young man in the green robe, he snorted in his nose and pointed at Zheng Haizhu and said, "Wait, go back and clean up your anger for Mama." ”

Zheng Haizhu said lightly: "For a while, my father-in-law, for a while, my grandmother, I don't even know where to come from." ”

After she finished the last half of the sentence, her eyes fell on the Wang family's secret whistle behind the little novice with a broom.

The two secret whistles understood the meaning of the word "source", and hid in the pilgrims who were scattered not far away to watch the excitement, and then turned back to the main hall, ready to follow the brown-clothed guys who retreated with scolding.

At this side, the host asked the man in the green robe with concern: "Is Gongzi Xu okay?" ”

Zhu Qianju shook his head, and looked at Zheng Haizhu with a slightly embarrassed look: "It turns out that you have kung fu, but I came out of the spur, but it delayed you." ”

The abbot and the old monk continued: "The female Tanyue has a way of self-defense, which is really powerful, but Xu Gongzi's decisive decision to save people is also a chivalrous act." Female Tan Yue, this Xu Gongzi, often comes to the small temple to give alms and play the piano. ”

Zheng Haizhu said "oh", and Fu Li said: "Thank you Gongzi for being chivalrous and righteous, and thank you to the mage for expelling the small people who are floating on the waves." ”

The abbot of the brocade robe clasped his palms together and said: "Today's Buddha's birthday, the old man went to the front hall to salute first, and said goodbye to the two Tan Yue. ”

Seeing a group of monks rushing out of the door of the Moon Cave, Zheng Haizhu turned around and took off the burden that Hua Er was carrying, and turned out a piece of silver.

"Young Master Xu, I was in a hurry, I didn't have time to collect the knife, and I scratched the sleeve of your robe, this is the silver money for compensation, please accept it."

Zhu Qianhui was stunned.

He got Gu Qingquan's report a few days ago, and immediately made a temporary strategizing, setting up the set of heroes saving beauty in the book, and thinking in his heart that he would first make friends with the little granddaughter of the Zheng family.

Rao is Zhu Qianju has heard from Miao Ruiyun and Liu Shimin more than once, Zheng Haizhu is by no means a delicate little lady, he still didn't expect that today, facing this woman who clearly has no martial arts, can actually accept the enemy without chaos.

And after the turmoil calmed down, she was so cold to a man like herself, and she seemed to be polite and polite, revealing the rejection of the living.

Zhu Qianju pursed the corners of his mouth, took the silver nugget, handed it to the servants beside him, turned his gaze back, pinched his soft and pleasant voice and said to Zheng Haizhu: "But it's disrespectful, I'm taking it down." ”

Zheng Haizhu nodded: "My surname is Zheng, I open a warehouse in Beijing, and Xu Gongzi calls me Zheng Shopkeeper." ”

Zhu Qianju changed his expression of concern and curiosity, and asked, "Oh? Just now, what did the gangsters say about their father-in-law and grandmother, but the shopkeeper Zheng offended them because of the palace market or something? ”

Zheng Haizhu smiled slightly: "I should just recognize the wrong person." By the way, listening to the accent, Childe is not from the capital either? ”

"My family has some small property in Guangzhou, and a few shops."

Zheng Haizhu said in his heart, in this person's official words, there are clearly one or two sharp group sounds. The concept of Jiantuan Yin was only put forward by linguists in the Qing Dynasty, and the Ming people themselves may not be aware of it, but modern people like her, who often listen to Kunqu Opera and Peking Opera, are very sensitive.

Zheng Haizhu did not hide his participation in the research, "How can the son speak with a little Jiangnan accent?" ”

Zhu Qianju said with a smile: "Didn't the shopkeeper Zheng ask me if I was from the capital?" Actually, I am from Beijing, but not from Beijing, but from Nanjing. My ancestors originally lived in Nanjing, but later came to the Guangdong area because of business. The elders of the family are most concerned about their homeland, and the accents of their children and grandchildren also leave old marks. ”

The descendants of Jianwen, the rules of the overseas royal families of the past dynasties, Yingtian is the official capital of their Zhu family, what is Beijing, the lair of the usurper. They are in the same vein and will never call Yingtian "Nan" Jing.

Today is for the little granddaughter of the Zheng family, making an exception.

Then, he got his wish and saw that Zheng Haizhu's eyes were a little more vivid.

"It turns out that they are all fellow villagers of Nanzhili, and they are all under the disciples of Tao Zhugong, so they are really fateful. I take the liberty of asking, what kind of goods does Xu Gongzi's Mansion have in the land of Guangzhou? ”

"Mainly trade with merchants. Cantonese silk, Cantonese embroidery, porcelain, tea, and Manraka, Siamese or Franky people traded pepper and spices, and after getting the imperial court's ship, they had to go to Haojing by ship. ”

Zheng Haizhu Wan'er was fascinated: "The business of the son's family is a big show." Although the goods taken by my family are similar to those of your house, there are also fabrics and embroideries, but they are just a little tossing some subsistence silver by the canal. Sea...... I don't dare to think about it, it's too hard. ”

When Zhu Qianju heard this, his heart rippled.

Zheng Lang and Zheng Yi's uncle and nephew in Ningde and Minhai have already reported to him that Zheng Haizhu not only walked through the sea boat, but also exchanged black tea and incense with Yan Siqi, and demarcated the border with Yu Shigao to sell firearms.

However, at this time, this woman concealed her strength and showed a little low and small compliments.

What does it mean? It should mean that she has a tendency to cling to me, right?

Zhu Qianjue's frustration of being treated coldly by her a moment ago was like the Wang Ba who was released in the pond in front of Fahua Temple, swishing away and disappearing.

"Shopkeeper Zheng," Zhu Qianju looked around and proposed in a cautious tone, "I will send you back to the shop with the little guy at home?" In case the villains don't go far, I'm afraid something will happen. ”

Zheng Haizhu pondered, pursed his lips and said, "Okay." ”

Half an hour later, Qin Fang stood in the alley at the entrance of the "Zheng's Haoming" trading company, watched the rather decent carriage go away, and met Zheng Haizhu's thoughtful gaze when he turned around.

"Old Qin, do you remember the faces of this Xu Gongzi and his little servant?"

Qin Fang was stunned: "Madam, didn't you mean that this Xu Gongzi stepped forward to save him?" ”

Zheng Haizhu smiled: "Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts." Who knows if any horn has come out of nowhere? Lao Qin, this box of silk tea and spices has been transported, don't you have to lift it all the way to the bottom, you can't just look at the surface, right? The more strange things are, the more strange people are, the more careful they are. ”

Qin Fang nodded hurriedly in agreement.

Hua Er accompanied Zheng Haizhu into the backyard, and Zheng Haizhu asked the little girl: "Do you think that Xu Gongzi is weird?" ”

Hua Er rolled his eyes and said: "His family is a businessman, he doesn't look like a nerd, he should have seen all kinds of people's dresses, how could he see a bun like Mrs., and call Mrs. a girl?" ”

"What else?"

"And ...... Nothing. ”

Zheng Haizhu sat down and looked at Hua Er with a smile: "Also, he looks handsome, wears high-quality two-color satin, plays the piano in the Zen courtyard, and is rich and elegant." After the results came out, I was so interested in talking about me, an ordinary woman who was a little old and far less beautiful than those delicate girls, and I didn't even play the piano anymore, and I was in a hurry to send us back. Could it be that just because I heard that I am also a merchant? He has shown that his goods are similar to ours, and he blows bigger than us, so why should he come to talk to us? ”

Hua Er was enlightened.

"Hua Er," Zheng Haizhu took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Those men who look particularly radiant are courteous to women like us for no reason, we must have more eyes." ”

"Hmm, Hua Er understands. By the way, madam, what did the gangster say today, what did Grandpa Wei say, did Mrs. offend in the palace? ”

Zheng Haizhu narrowed his eyes: "Even if there is a father-in-law surnamed Wei who gives that guest grandmother a head, it shouldn't be called Wei Dynasty." This is the real weirdness of today. ”
