After sending Song Lian away, Zhu Yuan did not return to the inner house to rest, but came to the lake again.

There are already guests waiting here.

It's Fang Guozhen.

dispelled the idea of having a banquet at home during the New Year's Festival, but I still made an appointment with Fang Guozhen to fish together today, and I didn't expect that there would be a temporary insertion in the advertisement.

As soon as he entered the cabin of the boat, Fang Guozhen, who was sitting cross-legged by the window like a black tower, grinned and showed his fish basket: "Pingzhang, it's a good omen, look at what this is?" ”

Zhu Yuan got closer and saw a red and yellow carp in the fish basket: "Koi, it's a good sign." You're not going to eat it, are you? ”

"Why, I'm just waiting for you to come and see this red carp...... Heh, you just said 'koi', this name is better," Fang Guozhen said, holding out the half-foot-long koi and motioning: "Pingzhang, will you put it or will I put it?" ”

Zhu Yuan sat down on the brand-new sofa cushion on the side, and said, "Come on, I'm already 'brocade' enough." ”

Back in this era, Zhu Yuan found himself becoming more and more superstitious.

However, it is not enough to rob other people's koi.

When Fang Guozhen heard Zhu Yuan say this, he was no longer humble, leaned out slightly, threw the koi into the lake, and chanted: "Go, if you cross the dragon gate one day, don't forget my old Fang ......"

After sending off the koi, Fang Guozhen sat down again, his body moved, and motioned to the sofa cushion with a backrest: "Pingzhang, this is ...... This ......"

Zhu Yuan said: "Sofa." ”

Although there is no stand, it is considered a sofa.

"Oh, this couch...... It's really good, what's inside, it won't be deformed even if it's pressed? ”

"There's a spring inside."

"Spring?"

"Probably ......"

Zhu Yuan patiently explained it, and Fang Guozhen understood, and said with emotion: "The creation is magical, only this...... Good steel is used to make this sofa...... Not. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Guozhen suddenly closed his mouth.

Zhu Yuan smiled and didn't continue.

In fact, I know that what Fang Guozhen thought of should be similar to that of Chang Yuchun before.

This thing is sharper when it comes to making weapons!

However, Chang Yuchun can say that if Fang Guozhen talks and is listened to, it will not be good.

Could it be ...... Your old man is still ambitious, what else do you want to do?

That's probably it.

Fang Guozhen was relieved to see that Zhu Yuan didn't answer his words, and took the initiative to turn to another topic: "What about the advertisement of "Daming Monthly", but it has been properly handled?" ”

Zhu Yuan didn't answer for a while, but asked rhetorically: "Are you well-informed again?" ”

"How can you not be well-informed, Jinling City has spread all over the city," Fang Guozhen said: "That...... What, one page of an advertisement is worth 10,000 taels of silver, and one issue is 10 pages...... It's ten pages, that's 100,000 taels, a year...... 1,200,000 taels. After meeting Pingzhang, I realized that this money always comes so easily. ”

Zhu Yuan said: "Since you have heard about it, you should also know that this matter is not this kind of algorithm. I went into the palace in the morning to talk with my ancestors, and it was determined that there were only 2,000 taels per page. ”

When Fang Guozhen heard this, his eyes still widened: "Is 2,000 taels less?" ”

"Quite a few, but, that's it." Zhu Yuan said: "Anyway, it won't fall into my hands." ”

Fang Guozhen retracted his gaze, threw the fishing rod again, and said, "This matter, it's just that you don't want to." ”

"Yes, I don't have so many thoughts," Zhu Yuan said: "The wall is thousands of miles, and if you have no desire, you are strong." ”

Fang Guozhen felt that he was also hit in the heart: "This sentence is good, where does it come from?" ”

Zhu Yuan also hung up the bait and threw out the fishing rod.

I thought about it.

It seems like...... It's not what Confucius said, it's not Mencius, is it Lao Tzu?

Unsure, so he said: "Lu Xun said." ”

Fang Guozhen: "......"

Although he didn't know Brother Xun, Fang Guozhen felt Zhu Yuan's ridiculous tone, but he didn't ask again.

Maybe it's because of Fang Guozhen's koi, this time, both of them had better luck, but after a while, they each caught two or three fish, including the black-backed crucian carp that is a specialty of Xuanwu Lake.

Fishing while chatting like this, Fang Guozhen didn't stay long.

Zhu Yuan did not hold a banquet this New Year's Festival as he said years ago, Fang Guozhen was actually a little complicated in his heart.

This young man......

It's really 'no desire is just right'.

However, because of this, when he received the invitation to fish together, Fang Guozhen paid more attention to it.

This is really treating myself as a friend who has forgotten his years.

Not bad.

In the cabin, listening to Fang Guozhen's words of farewell, Zhu Yuan got up to see him off, came to the outside of the cabin, remembered the previous few times, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "Old Fang, I suddenly found that you don't seem to be polite in front of me, don't you want him to go further?" ”

Fang Guozhen stopped, smiled and waved his hand: "Pingzhang thinks he can, just can." If it doesn't work, let him polish it for a few more years, and I won't talk nonsense. ”

A few years ago, Mingzhou Winter Capture Xugong, Fang Li, Liu Lian and Yao Feng were promoted to the deputy envoy of the camp from the third grade at the same time, which was one step away from a certain camp envoy of the third grade who had been vacant.

This is also a position that the court is staring at from top to bottom.

Fang Guozhen is not stupid, the previous foundation of the Fang family is over there, if Fang Li can go further, then it will be a hell. Even, being able to get to the current position, in Fang Guozhen's opinion, is a bit too much, if he is Lao Zhu, he will definitely limit it, so as not to have another opportunity for the Fang family in eastern Zhejiang.

Therefore, out of the idea of self-preservation, Fang Guozhen really considered whether to ask Zhu Yuan for a request and simply transfer Fang Li back.

lest you be suspicious.

However, after getting along a few times, Fang Guozhen also dispelled these thoughts.

A certain young man Pingzhang must be smarter than him, and he can see many things more clearly than him, the Fang family has already expressed a clear attitude, and the other party has also acquiesced in this attachment, so where else do you need him to consider as an idle old man.

Doing nothing is probably the best.

Fang Guozhen has been silently observing Zhu Yuan, and Zhu Yuan is not like this.

asked this time and got an answer, and Zhu Yuan was also relieved.

Zhu Yuan had been worried that Fang Guozhen would open his mouth and help his eldest son mediate the position of the camp envoy.

This location...... Unfortunately, it definitely can't be given.

The inside is also the reason why Fang Guozhen understands himself.

Therefore, if Fang Guozhen really proposes it, Zhu Yuan will not only not agree, but can only transfer Fang Li back from Mingzhou in advance, and when the time comes, he may let the other party be promoted to another level, to Zhengsanpin, or he may be in charge of a large industrial group, such as steel or coal, but ...... For the Fang family, Zhu Yuan also had to have some more scruples.

Because, Fang Guozhen is still not smart enough, or still not quiet enough.

The wall is thousands of feet, and there is no desire to be rigid.

Although he didn't think of which 'son' said it for a while, Zhu Yuan didn't say it casually without purpose.

Waiting for Fang Guozhen to leave, Luo Shui came out of the inner cabin and asked Zhu Yuan if he still wanted to fish, if he wanted to take a nap here?

Zhu Yuan shook his head, returned to the position he had just placed, and motioned for Luo Shui to lean over, remembering one thing, and said with a smile: "Like them, you ...... this month If you like, you can also sew a set of clothes. ”

Last month, I said that it was the twenty-first day of the first month.

Luoshui was ...... There was already one when I was in Minnesotto. However, when she heard Zhu Yuan say this, the woman did not refuse, and nodded happily: "Lord Xie." ”

As they spoke, they looked out of the porthole.

The feather fish floated again.

The two pulled the fish together, a very big carp, two or three catties, if it wasn't for Luo Shui who happened to be by his side, Zhu Yuan felt that he would probably throw away the fishing rod directly, so as not to be accidentally dragged out.

It's a little sad that it's not a koi.

Then I'm sorry.

Put the carp into the fish basket on the side, and Zhu Yuan explained: "Send it to the kitchen, I want to eat sweet and sour carp at night." ”

When the maid took the carp away, seeing that there was no movement outside the window, Luo Shui took a picture album: "My lord, this is some of the patterns that the slave sisters have drawn for 'Guan Jufang' recently, you can take a look." ”

Zhu Yuan turned his head to look.

This is the design artwork of a batch of bags, looking at the pages one by one, I quickly found the joints, and said with a smile: "Song Ci theme." ”

I just saw one I liked.

Yoo Yong that.

The southeast shape wins, the three Wu metropolises, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times.

Luo Shui nodded, and said worriedly: "My lord said earlier that in the future, this 'Song Ci' theme can also be used on the pen of Zhiyongzhai, which ...... A few slaves can draw a picture casually. ”

"It is used everywhere, and our Chinese culture is ...... I will definitely not run out," Zhu Yuan said, but regretted: "I originally thought that I could advertise Guan Jufang in Daming Monthly Magazine next, but now I ...... Well, I mean, it's not going to be easy to squeeze in. ”

Luo Shui listened to Zhu Yuan talk about the advertisement in the inner house yesterday, and said with a smile: "Our Zhiyong Zhai last year, we didn't use the advertisement, and it was also prosperous." This Guan Jufang, and there is a plaque inscribed by the mother, and the slave sisters are also confident that these styles will be very popular, and it doesn't matter if there is an advertisement or not. ”

"That's the truth, but it can't really be like this," Zhu Yuan smiled: "It depends on the situation, the advertisement must be played." What's more, Guan Jufang also has royal shares, and Zushang and Niangniang will not want the business to fail. ”

Several times in a row, Zhu Yuan also found that Lao Zhu was very wealthy, and even, husband and wife were one, and Ma ...... It is also impossible to treat money like dung so much.

In that case, do what you have to do.

As he spoke, he was still tired unconsciously.

Zhu Yuan didn't move to the inner room, and fell asleep directly on the sofa cushion against Luo Shui.
