This is what everyone expected, and the Zheng family said: "You are a person, you don't know what to do, my eldest son sincerely invited, willing to shelter you, but you refused, it is really ........" ”

Li Zhaoji didn't want to provoke this Zheng Fusong, so he smiled and said: "I'm a little seafarer, where do I dare to climb the high branches of the Zheng family." ”

When Zheng Fusong heard this, he knew that Li Zhaoji didn't want to say anything, so he was quite helpless, and when he left home this time, Zheng Fusong knew that what he thought might not be the truth, but his status was noble, and no one around him was willing to tell the truth.

Li Zhaoji got up and said to Zheng Fusong: "Zheng Gongzi is a open-minded person and a righteous hero, which Li has personally experienced. I wonder if Childe is willing to do a favor? ”

"Oh, please." When Zheng Fusong heard Li Zhaoji's praise, he was already fluttering, and immediately said.

Li Zhaoji pointed at Gu Jinniang and said: "This Gu Jinniang Gu girl is from your township party and a native of Zhangzhou, Fujian, and unfortunately she was captured by four pirates and saved by me. I wonder if Zheng Gongzi is willing to send her home? ”

Zheng Fusong's expression was awe-inspiring, and he immediately said: "That's natural, my generation should do righteous deeds, Brother Li Zhuyu is in front, how can I, Zheng Fusong, be backward, I will protect the girl and protect my hometown." ”

"That's good, thank you Zheng Gongzi. If you want to be rich, you don't want my fare. I have something that I took from Yangyi, and I would like to give it to Zheng Gongzi, and I hope that Gongzi will not be disgusted. Li Zhaoji said, took out a flintlock pistol from his bosom and placed it on the table.

Zheng Fusong picked up the pistol and liked it very much: "Did you really take it from Yangyi?" ”

Li Zhaoji nodded slightly and said, "Please." After that, he greeted Zhang Dahe and the others, who had been waiting outside the tea shop for a long time, and left.

"Brother Li, can you leave your name?" Zheng Fusong became more and more interested in Li Zhaoji and asked loudly.

"Zheng Gongzi, you and I will see you again." Li Zhaoji smiled, got into the carriage and left.

Zheng Fusong put away the pistol, looked at Gu Jinniang's reluctant appearance, and asked, "Miss Gu, what is the name of this Mr. Li who saved you?" ”

Gu Jinniang retracted her gaze and said, "I promised Li Xianggong, how could I never betray him." ”

Zheng Fusong smiled: "You girl, no wonder you fell in love with Brother Li, it turned out that you have the same temperament, and they are all ordinary people." Anyway, I won't ask him about his identity, but I want to ask the girl, what is the difference between Brother Li and my Zheng family, and I seem to have a grudge against my father. ”

Gu Jinniang said with a solemn face: "Don't look at Li Xianggong is just a shopkeeper of a trading company, but he cares about his family and country, I have heard him say to the people around him more than once that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband." And what he did was also beneficial to the country and the people, like Ling Zun, who dominated the Fujian Sea and controlled the sea trade, but he did not want to serve the country and ignored the saint's grace in vain. ”

"Why do you say that about my father?" Zheng Fusong is strange, what's wrong today, why do they all look down on their father like this.

When Gu Jinniang heard this, she shook her head slightly: "It's inconvenient for me to say it, Li Xianggong said that it is rude to scold his father to his son." I'm a little woman, and it's even more inappropriate to judge Ling Zun. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Fusong seemed to think of a slight change in his face: "Let me guess, is he the righteous businessman who rescued the captive people with Chen Zongqi as rumored, Li Zhaoji and Li Shopkeeper of Oriental Trading Company." ”

Gu Jinniang lowered her head and did not answer, but this was already an admission in disguise.

"Okay, a good Li Zhaoji, courageous and knowledgeable, by no means an extraordinary person, he will see each other every day, I, Zheng Fusong, have to explain to you, my father is a chivalrous hero who stands up to the sky, and it is definitely not what you think. I, Zheng Fusong, have always taken my father as an example, and he will surely be better than the blue one day. Zheng Fusong confirmed Li Zhaoji's identity, and the previous displeasure and haze were swept away, and his mood became very happy.

"Li Xianggong said, the great man of chivalry is for the country and the people, Zheng Gongzi, helping a weak woman like me return to her hometown can only be regarded as small righteousness, and the real righteousness is in the temple." Gu Jinniang always mentions what Li Zhaoji said, intentionally or unintentionally.

Zheng Fusong nodded heavily: "A good sentence is for the country and the people, and a good sentence that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband." I am a hero, you are a horseman, who can be loyal to the country and serve the Son of Heaven, it depends on you and my creation and fate. ”

The next day, Shen Mansion.

Song Bao helped Shen Youlong change his clothes, combed his hair, and chattered while Shen Youlong suddenly interrupted him and asked, "What did you say, the Zheng family's boat blew up at the dock?" ”

"Yes, it's so bad, it's the thunderclap yesterday."

Shen Youlong nodded: "The old man only knew that there was an accident on the dock, but he never thought it was the Zheng family's ship....... Well, then you beckoned the Zheng family's uncle and nephew to the study, how did the two of them look? ”

"That General Zheng Hongkui is as usual, but the son of the Zheng family seems to be quite happy." Songbao said.

Shen Youlong snorted coldly: "The Zheng family's big fortune boat, the old man saw it when he first took office and passed through Fujian, I don't know how much silver it cost to build, the decoration inside is luxurious, and now it is damaged, but Zheng Fusong doesn't take it seriously, in the end, the Zheng family has been entrenched in Fujian for many years, and I don't know how much wealth has been accumulated." ”

Songbao didn't think so, because he had led the way for the Zheng family's son, and he didn't even have a red envelope, if he was rich, he shouldn't be like this. So he said: "Xu Gongzi is just happy to see that you arranged for him to meet in the study and treat him like a nephew." ”

Shen Youlong smiled, packed up, and went to the study.

"Junior, Zheng Fusong, see the boss." Seeing Shen Youlong coming in, Zheng Fusong immediately wanted to pay homage.

"Oh, Fusong, hurry up, hurry up, I am an old friend of your father, where do you need such a false courtesy." Shen Youlong said, but he didn't even make a gesture of support.

However, Zheng Fusong insisted on finishing the big ceremony and said: "Back then, my father was reckless, but fortunately he was appreciated by the boss. My father wants the younger generation to see the adult, and he has to make a big salute to feel at ease. ”

After Zheng Fusong stood up, Shen Youlong looked at him carefully, and found that Zheng Fusong was only twenty years old, but he was extremely handsome, but he was full of heroism, but he lacked the gentleness of a scholar, so he said: "Oh, in the end, it is the Qilin'er of General Feihuang, who has read books for more than ten years, and this can't get rid of the tiger and wolf spirit brought out of this bloodline, what a young man, he will be a pillar of the court in the future." ”

Zheng Fusong also knows why Shen Youlong said this, you must know that the Confucian scholars of the Ming Dynasty, especially the scholars in Jiangnan, attach great importance to manners, like his age, and have a talent and fame, in Jiangnan needs to be greased and powdered, but also a brocade robe and incense, its pretentiousness, especially better than women, is a great beauty.

The Zheng family doesn't have such habits, Zheng Fusong himself is a young hero, he doesn't like fat powder, and he especially loves military books, but when he saw Shen Youlong say this, he didn't dare to refute it, but just said: "The demeanor of the boss is the only thing Fusong has seen in his life, and the younger generation is not as good as the old man." ”

"Come, come, sit down and talk. General Zheng sat down together to speak. Zheng Fusong's thoughtful manners really won Shen Youlong's favor, he greeted him with a smile.

Zheng Hongkui did not sit down, but took out a red post from his arms, presented it to Song Bao with both hands, and said: "My brother really can't get out, but I know that the boss is sleeping all night for the eight rows of Yao, and he can't bear it, so he sent my uncle and nephew to come, not to praise the military aircraft, but to praise some practice, this is the filial piety sent by the brother's life, not a tribute, please smile and accept." ”

Shen Youlong opened the folded red post gift list and bowed slightly.

He is the governor of Liangguang, and he can't control Zheng Zhilong in Fujian, Zheng Zhilong sent people to give gifts, to put it bluntly, it is a private affair rather than an official matter, and this gift list reads, there are 1,000 taels of silver for sponsorship, 50 sets of armor, 100 muskets, and 200 brave men in Fujian, with all the soldiers, and a year's salary, which was sent to Guangzhou to supply him with Shen Yulong.

This is already a generous gift, but it is not what Shen Youlong wants.

Shen Youlong coughed lightly, went directly to the topic, and said: "Now the Yao Rebellion in the Eight Rows has been controlled, but the Yao people take time to avoid the deep mountains and search the mountains and check the land.

General Zheng, the old man is going to invite the imperial court to merge the ships of the east and west oceans, and sell them in Guangzhou to raise money for the army, and this matter is also secretly sent to General Feihuang, what does he think? ”

Zheng Fusong stood on the side, and it was not until Shen Youlong said this that he knew that there was such a thing, Zheng Zhilong did not tell him before, and it was only at this time that he knew what he came to Guangzhou with his uncle Zheng Hongkui this time.
