The matter of selling second-hand idleness, once it starts, it can't be stopped.

At the end of the fundraising bazaar, I heard that I finally got a small 10,000 taels of silver, so Zhu You waved his hand to Cao Huachun: "Cao Banban, let's go back and count again, and Ming'er will come back."

Wang Song of the Ministry of Rites was already dumbfounded. The scene in front of him was too much beyond the cognition of this middle-level civil official who was intoxicated with the tricks of officialdom but had a mediocre mind, and he was stunned.

Kong Yinzhi glanced at Kong Shangyi quickly.

Kong Shangyi suppressed his anger, whitewashed the elegance of the descendants of the Kong family and the sincerity of the people of the Ming Dynasty on his face, and respectfully said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Highness deigns to raise salaries and share worries for the country, and it will soon spread throughout the three provinces of my Ming Dynasty. His Royal Highness still has to climb Mount Tai and make great salutes, how can he be tired again. The Yansheng Mansion will announce to the whole county tomorrow that it will offer 30,000 taels of silver, which will be shipped to Jingshi immediately."

Zhu Youxiao knew that Master Zheng's purpose was far from being as simple as turning a dot, but the real money did not refuse, so he grinned, showed two tiger teeth, and said with a smile: "Oh, very good, very good. Lonely just said, you Yan Sheng Gong Mansion, Bilu Mansion is magnanimous."

Kong Yinzhi took over the conversation: "Your Highness has worked hard for half a day, so it is better to go back to the dormitory to rest for two or three hours and use some syrup water. The ministers held a banquet next to the Confucian Temple in the evening, and the gentry of the Qufu Wang clan couldn't wait to admire the demeanor of His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor."

"But," Zhu Youxiao looked at Wang Song of the Ministry of Rites, "Master Wang, my Master Zheng and Master Lu can also sit at the same table, right?"

Without waiting for Wang Song to answer, Zheng Haizhu took the initiative to refuse: "Your Highness, my lords, it's really unfortunate, today is my brother's sacrifice day. The eldest brother is like a father, and it is the duty of people to chase away cautiously, so I must be in the courtyard, put fruit and burn incense, and worship my brother. Master Lu accompanies His Highness, and it's the same."

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Then Master Zheng will stay in the guest house of the Yansheng Mansion."

The speaker is intentional, and the listener is more attentive, Kong Shangyi's eyes narrowed, and he began to think about it in his heart.

……

At the beginning of Shen, between the lobby and the second hall in the front hall of the Yansheng Mansion.

Zheng Haizhu sat on a crimson chair, and Huang Zude, the head of the bodyguard, took a few brocade guards, and walked leisurely in the nearby ear porch.

Lu Xiangsheng walked through the narrow corridor at the back of the second hall and walked to the front of the red chair.

Although Lu Xiangsheng was clearly told by Zheng Haizhu that he could just watch from the sidelines, where could Lu Xiangsheng really stay out of the matter.

It wasn't until Zhu Youxiao, who was also considered his student, made his debut and got a large sum of money from the gongs and drums, that Lu Xiangsheng had doubts about Zheng Haizhu's hesitation in Qufu to set off a storm, and he seemed to be pressed down by another self in his body.

"Sister should be quite disgusted here, why is she still sitting in the front hall of the Confucian Mansion to rest?"

"Enjoying the flowers," Zheng Haizhu said to the spring and summer flowers in the courtyard, "I don't know, when Yan Song sat on this chair, what kind of mood he felt when he looked at these flowers?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Lu Xiangsheng asked.

Zheng Haizhu smiled lightly and said slowly: "Yesterday, General Zhenguo told me that Emperor Shizong wanted to investigate the Yan family, and Yan Song got the news and rushed to the Confucian Mansion, wanting to ask his son-in-law Kong Shangxian to come forward and enter Beijing to intercede and save the life of his son Yan Shifan. Unexpectedly, the people of the Confucian Mansion asked Yan Shoufu, who was still in power not long ago, to sit on this red bench for two hours. In the end, Kong Shangxian still didn't show up."

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng turned around and set his eyes on the peony that began to sprout in the bright sunshine.

After being silent for a moment, he suddenly pursed his lips and said with teasing: "Kong Shangxian must not have imagined that his Yansheng Mansion, like Yan Shoufu, would be targeted by the imperial court one day."

"Paying for the country, that's the great creation of his Confucian Mansion," Zheng Haizhu put away his loose expression and said coldly, "Whether it's Yan Shoufu or Yan Shenggong, it's not a Tai Sui who can't be moved. Xiangsheng, why do you want my Ming Dynasty's nine-sided soldiers to guard the country hungry, and the old and young of his Yan Shenggong Mansion can sit here and enjoy flowers and listen to music and eat fat just because of the shit luck of reincarnation? If they want to enjoy such blessings, they can also spit out the land and the money, fill up the salaries, and fill the treasury. Not only the Confucian Mansion, but also the rich families of our Nanzhili can't be left alone."

Lu Xiangsheng listened to the deep and firm in his ears

The female voice suddenly seemed to return to the scene five years ago, by the pond in the Qingyuan of Songjiang School, after taking a course to simulate a fireboat water battle, the students went to other classrooms, Zheng Haizhu walked into the Qingyuan, and said to him "There are no eggs under the nest", "work hard to earn money, and help the military generals of Wenchen".

Now he really understands that Zheng Haizhu doesn't just want to be the Ba Qing of Qin Shi Huang, she wants to learn to be the second Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty, she doesn't just want to rely on her own dismal business and donate silver to save the country, she wants the vassal kings, the Yan Shenggongs, and the gentry in Jiangnan and Jiangbei to be unable to watch from the wall.

Under the banner of her bold words, there are bits and pieces of meticulous strategies that are dense like fireship mines, just as she thought at the beginning, despising Xu Xu Tuzhi and not showing her edge, and so on, and she will charge when she has made a decision, and the soldiers will be fast.

But these attacks, the risk of fighting for her life is greater than once, but she doesn't seem to hesitate.

Lu Xiangsheng thought about this, and turned his head to stare at Zheng Haizhu: "Daddy's sacrifice day is not today, right?"

"Xiangsheng, I will say, if you lead the army as a civilian in the future, you will be a fierce general, and you will be a commander."

"You want to talk to Kong Shangyi alone?"

"He'll come to talk to me."

"He's slicker than Kong Yinzhi, I'll stay and watch."

Zheng Haizhu regained his smiling expression, glanced at Huang Zude, who was chatting with his subordinates not far away, and said to Lu Xiangsheng, "Do you think Lao Huang and their Jinyiwei are made of tofu? Kong Shangyi is a half-old man, and he is not the Mang Gurtai Emperor Taiji who is a slave, can he still do it? Xiangsheng, my temper is that I am not willing to hide after coming up with an idea of three melons and two dates, and only rely on you men to come out. I got to do it too. You eat your banquet, and remember all the noble clans that Kong Yinzhi called here."

Lu Xiangsheng responded "good" and no longer insisted on staying.

The greatest respect for the brave is trust.

……

Jade Rabbit rises eastward.

A few large birds with slender tails landed on the treetops, and the silhouette of a moment of stagnant motion, reflecting the bright moon in the middle sky, is like a frame of timeless strokes.

Kong Shangyi took two small servants, and Huang Zude, who obtained the master's permission order, introduced the guest house and stepped into the east wing of the library.

Zheng Haizhu arched weakly: "The third master, please take a seat." Zude, pour tea."

After speaking, he continued to study the inkstone in his hand.

When Kong Shangyi sat down, his brows tightened, not because he was still in the mood to care that the tone of this surnamed Zheng was not respectful and polite, but because he stared at Zheng Haizhu's strange and somewhat terrifying right hand.

Zheng Haizhu received Kong Shangyi's gaze, took the initiative to raise his right hand and shook it, and gently knocked on the inkstone, making a crisp and pleasant "ding, ding" sound.

"The third old man doesn't feel strange, this is a wire glove sent by my fellow villagers in southern Fujian. I thought that after sacrificing Mount Tai, the eldest son of the emperor would go to Dengzhou to inspect Haiphong, and use wire gloves to open a few oysters for him to taste. It's also good to use it for a good inkstone."

Kong Shangyi said in his heart, this woman is really more like eunuchs like Wang Zhen and Liu Jin, and she is very good at using novel gadgets to please the young prince.

Kong Shangyi turned around and looked at the court: "Mrs. Zheng's incense case to pay tribute to the ancestors has not been set up yet?"

Zheng Haizhu put down the inkstone: "After I come back, I guess that the third master will come to the door tonight, or listen to the third master first, business is important, and my brother is in the spirit of the sky, and he will not blame me."

Kong Shangyi said: "I've been talking about official affairs for two whole days, and I've discussed enough, let's talk about private matters."

"Oh......" Zheng Haizhu raised his gaze, and saw Kong Shangyi's two little servants from Huang Zude, and said with a calm face, "Since it is a private matter, it is necessary to talk about it with sincerity, and it is not appropriate for people to listen to it, right?"

Kong Shangyi's heart was overjoyed, and then even more contempt swelled up.

Let's just say that this woman is the same as the eunuchs of the previous dynasty who paid many mining taxes and supervised the army.
