Chapter Seventy-Six: The Great Chapter of Two in One

(I went back to my hometown, and I have been writing 4,000 words today)

At the end of the day's trip, Zheng Xiong returned home, and his life was okay at three o'clock every day.

And at this moment, Lao Zhu is secretly enjoying the song and dance in a side hall, what is hollowed out by wine, exhausted by work, there is no place here in Lao Zhu, and the energy is outrageous.

After a dance, Lao Zhu was still unfinished, staring at the leading Xiu'er.

Feeling Lao Zhu's ill intentions, the leading Xiu'er was obviously not prepared, being sheltered by others and associating with the big brother on the list are two different things, you have to be fully prepared and overcome psychological obstacles.

"Your Majesty, the new Fengluan has made two songs, do you want the slave to sing them to Your Majesty."

"The new Fengluan seems to be Zheng Xiong of Huimin Pharmacy, he can also write poetry, this I am a little interested, you can sing it and listen to it."

"Obey the order, the slave family will prepare."

I saw that this Xiu'er gathered several dancers together, lined them up, and sang a grateful heart.

After listening to the song, Lao Zhu was dumbfounded. Secretly said that this Zheng Xiong is really a talent, and he is ashamed of himself for this method, and he has to be grateful to others for selling others.

Lao Zhu likes the lyrics of this vernacular, because the usual music is also required to be as concise and clear as possible, not twisted and twisted. The lyrics are also quite touching, recalling the bits and pieces of my journey along the way, as if I was describing myself. There are some uses, Lao Zhu unconsciously recalled the people who had helped him, the abbot who had taken him in, his brother who had helped him, Guo Zixing who knew the grace of encounter, his sister-in-law Ma Xiuying, and a group of old buddies who followed him.

Lao Zhu can come to this point, it is really inseparable from the help of so many people, thinking of the bits and pieces of the past, Lao Zhu was still a little affected and quietly reflected.

Although he gave everything he should have given, these people did a lot of things that were arrogant and violated the law, and the oppression of the people reached Lao Zhu's ears from time to time. Lao Zhu's murderous intent has become heavier and heavier with the passage of time, and now this grateful heart makes Lao Zhu secretly think about whether he should be more tolerant.

"What about another one? Sing it too. ”

"Obey, the following song is called "The Devotion of Love".

This show and a group of musicians have been practicing all afternoon, and at this time they are already familiar with it, and they quickly put on a posture. The music sounded, the accompaniment began, and they sang a song "Love Dedication" together and gave it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After listening to another song, Lao Zhu seems to have found the answer he just asked for, that is, love, maybe love should be used to influence them. As a last resort, Lao Zhu will not make a dead hand, people have feelings, let alone these brothers of life and death.

Zheng Xiong on the other side didn't know that Lao Zhu was still affected by his two songs after all, less extreme and more gentle. Here, Zheng Xiong finished dinner, and at the tea party after dinner, he talked to his father about the problem of buying a store.

"Dad, how much money do I have now, and my son is going to buy a few shops and collect rent."

Zheng Qi calculated for a while, and then said.

"I haven't calculated carefully, the difference between your income in the past few months is quite big, and now it adds up to less than a hundred stones, which is equivalent to dozens of silver coins."

This is quite a big gap with the money he handles, and Huimin Pharmacy consumes more than this every day, but it is more than one grade stronger than ordinary people.

And those officials who clamored that they couldn't eat were, at least they wouldn't worry about eating and drinking until the treasure money was broken, and it would be another matter if they wanted to live a little chic.

It's a bit difficult to buy a store for dozens of dollars, and you can't sell it at a high price if it's small, and you can't afford it if it's big.

"If you want a store, your father and I have a few shops, you go and pick one, whether it is to collect rent or do some small business yourself, you can use it, it should be given to you in advance, and your money will be kept to marry a daughter-in-law later."

If you don't pay attention, you will reach the age of fighting for your father, but fortunately you have a good father, more than the upper and lower than the bottom, and you have arranged a store, but this topic can't get around marrying a daughter-in-law.

"Thank you, Dad."

"Well, you should have been to our shop, there are five shops in total, three are in this vicinity, do some small business, and two are far away, one is in the west of the city, and the other is near the Qinhuai River in the ten miles."

Coincidentally, it's just right, I also like the store over there, since my dad has spoken, there is no psychological burden to take advantage of my dad.

"My son wants a shop on the other side of the Qinhuai River, and he was recently transferred to the Department of Teaching Workshops, and I just told my father about a piece of news."

There are many people, and the reputation of Qin Huai in the later generations is very loud, and the eight famous prostitutes can have a few names, and now they can reveal a little about the future development, mention their own father, Zheng Xiong whispered quietly in his father's ear.

"Dad, ten miles of Qinhuai will set up an official brothel in the future, exclusively for rich businessmen and dignitaries to have fun, and those who have spare money can buy more shops, there is a lot of room for development, and you will not lose money if you buy it."

Zheng Qi got the inside news and was very satisfied, his son was finally not raised in vain, such a news is very valuable. Whether it is now or in the future, an inside message is likely to change the fate of many people, and what is a gift is given, not just seeking asylum, maybe just such an inside message is enough. However, my family's foundation is not thick enough, and I can't buy a few shops.

"Dad, inside information, don't talk about it everywhere."

"I know this in my heart, haven't I ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run? Rest assured, God knows that you know and I know, and will never let a third person know. ”

Just remind me, my dad shouldn't talk much.

On the issue of Zheng Xiong, the attitude of the whole family is the same, try to meet the needs as much as possible, and create conditions if there are no conditions, after all, it is the hope of the whole family.

Seeing that Zheng Xiong had nothing to do, the topic of the family inevitably turned to Zheng Hu's marriage, and the old man talked about it, this time of day was the most difficult, and Zheng Xiong hurriedly left.

Zheng Xiu saw Zheng Xiong leaving, and also followed, pestering Zheng Xiong and telling the story of the Pleasant Goat again, Zheng Xiong said another episode, and Zheng Xiu was satisfied after listening to it.

"Brother, you wait, I finished painting what you said during this time, and I changed it later, you can see if it's okay."

After listening to Zheng Xiu's words, Zheng Xiong was a little surprised, this girl in his own house has a very strong hands-on ability, she used to draw very well, and now she still knows that she has changed and improved, and this attitude alone is commendable.

"Okay, bring it over and I'll take a look, and my brother will give you a tasting."

The child is energetic and energetic, Zheng Xiu ran into his boudoir like a gust of wind, brought his masterpiece, and ran in front of him quickly.

"Brother, look at the shortcomings, I'll change it."

Taking the painting in Zheng Xiu's hand, Zheng Xiong slowly admired it. The whole is already smoother, and the paintings are more vivid, and the story of each episode is like having a soul with the blessing of paintings, and there is a feeling of reading comics.

"Yes, very good, I really didn't expect you to do this, so hard, you don't have to change it, just like that, I'll take it to the printing house for you tomorrow and print some for you to publish." When the time comes, painting quietly at home and earning some pocket money is much better than staying at home all day and not leaving the door. ”

got Zheng Xiong's praise, Zheng Xiu didn't care, every time he showed the painting to Zheng Xiong, he came back and said this, praising the scene, he was already immune. Hearing that Zheng Xiong could print and publish his paintings, he was overjoyed, representing that Zheng Xiong truly recognized this painting. It doesn't matter if you make money or not, your family is not short of money to spend, but if you can let more people know yourself and recognize your paintings, your mood is naturally different.

"Thank you, brother, you are so good, I have a little sister not far away, why don't I introduce you to you."

is really his own sister, someone else's good sister, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, in order to thank himself without hesitation to betray his little sister, although Zheng Xiong's conditions are not a pit. But is Zheng Xiong a beast? Obviously not, the little sister who can be Zheng Xiu must also be a little girl, there are not a few pieces of fat, who has this interest.

"Go play, I warn you, if you don't reach the age of seventeen or eighteen, find me a brother-in-law, take care of his legs, I'll break him, weigh it myself."

Facing the unreasonable Zheng Xiong, Zheng Xiu had no choice but to stop and return to his boudoir in a huff.

Zheng Xiong picked up Zheng Xiu's painting and returned to his room and put it on the table. The next day, I don't know when, I woke up, washed up, took my sister's painting, and came to Huimin Pharmacy.

As usual, the number of people who came to get vaccinated against cowpox has not decreased, there are still two long queues, but the number of officials and dignitaries on the left has decreased significantly, and there are even many people lined up behind.

The pharmacy signed, and even if the day's task was completed, as long as there were no major moves, the entire pharmacy could deal with it very calmly.

After handling official business, Zheng Xiong slowly walked to the printing house and handed over his sister's painting to Wang Zheng.

"This is my sister's painting, it's a private matter, you calculate the cost and report it to me, and I'll pay for it."

"Yes, adults, small ones will be explained, calculate the cost as soon as possible, start construction as soon as possible, ensure quality and quantity, and complete it as soon as possible."

Although the engraving of drawings is difficult, although engraving is time-consuming, although there is no talent for engraving pictures. But as long as it is the sister of Lord Zheng, then it will be fine, all difficulties can be overcome, and making money does not exist, and the cost of charging is too much.

There is a sensible subordinate is worry-free, and I know what to do after a little mention, I don't stay long, a group of big men have nothing to look at, or the young lady is comfortable to see, and it's good to look at.

The younger brother Ergou followed Zheng Xiong and ran to the door of the Teaching Division, Wu Busi drooped his head, and was pulling with Kong Wu Youli to the limit, and said weakly.

"I'm the right Si Le of the Teaching Workshop Division, a serious and honest Jiupin official, it's not like you haven't seen it, why don't you let me in."

"The Lord said that if you don't let people in, don't be embarrassed."

"Am I a person who is not three, but my name is not four, why don't I let me in, besides, Sun Busan can enter, why can't I Wu Busi."

"My lord, when Lord Sun went in, we didn't see it, but now that we have met adults, please don't make it difficult for the little ones."

"You did it on purpose, when Lord Ti Ling comes, I must sue you two, isn't this playing the piano indiscriminately."

Several people don't know how many times they have said this sentence, and the threatening words are back and forth, and both of them are immune to hearing it.

Seeing Wu Busi from being angry to now weak, the two of them are also a little sympathetic, we who know the truth are really lonely, I want to help you, but you have to block the road.

At noon, the exhausted Wu Busi finally saw Zheng Xiong trotting towards the Jiaofang Division, as if he had seen a savior, he hurriedly staggered forward to greet Zheng Xiong, hugged Zheng Xiong's thigh and began to cry.

"My lord, you can be regarded as coming, the two of them said that they were not allowed to enter, but the lower officials only had the word "no" in their names, so they stopped me outside, and it was not easy for anyone to come, so please call the shots and give me justice."

Zheng Xiong was secretly happy in his heart, calling you a bad thing, although the reminder was in place, but it was just not happy. Now that he finally relieved his grievances, he looked at Kong Wu Youli.

"Is that so? The official said that people who are not inappropriate will not be allowed to enter, but he did not let you stop those whose names are not four, so forget it this time, don't do it next time. ”

"What the adults teach is that the little ones know their mistakes."

With care, these two young men are also good, promising, and quite discerning.

However, Wu Busi was stubborn.

"Raise the adult, they are absolutely deliberate, Sun Bu can enter, but the small one can't enter, it is obviously unreasonable, I hope the adult will see it."

Zheng Xiong was a little speechless, you all know that it is unreasonable, so you won't use your brains, think about why you don't let you in, an official of the Eight Classics Teaching Workshop Division, you are clearly partial, or a tendon, and there is no future.

"Then let's do it, you two apologize to Lord Wu, it's such a trivial matter, there is no need to go online."

"Lord Wu is angry, the little ones know their mistakes, they will compensate you, and please spare the two of us."

"No, it's not that the lower officials don't give face to the adults, it's really a mistake, there is no punishment today, maybe something will happen next time, please bring up the adult Mingjian."

When Zheng Xiong heard this, he had to say, although this stubborn donkey was not saved, he still knew that he had not given himself face.

looked left and right, or quickly find a topic, and put this matter over, there is really no way to meet such a stubborn donkey.

"Okay, I've apologized, this matter has been revealed, what's going on with the beggars over there, how can there be beggars here in the inner city."

"Back to my lord, this beggar is not uncommon in this Nanjing City, just give a bite to eat, adults don't have to care."

"The official has been here for a while, and he hasn't seen anyone give alms, and this beggar has become skinny."

"Adults don't have to be like this, life and death are fateful, wealth is in the sky, it's okay here, there can always be some gains, and you will definitely not starve to death."

"In this case, it's okay elsewhere, but it's not okay at the door of my teaching department, it's not that you can't beg here, but it's better to give them fish than to give them fish, so it's a great good. I teach the singing and dancing music of the Fang Division to learn casually, and it can be regarded as having a skill, which is better than simple begging. ”

"Do you want to make him into our pleasure and give him a guarantee?"

"How is this possible, of course it's still begging, a skill is to make him better begging, don't think too much."
