Shen Shixing shook his head and said, "How does the old man know about the things in the back house? However, Wu Ninghou's wife is worthy of being a businessman, and now she is in charge of the business affairs of the Hou Mansion, making the Hou Mansion's net worth richer and richer!"

Speaking of this, Shen Shixing suddenly asked, "Madam, isn't today the day to meet the Queen Mother!" Have you ever been?"

Madame nodded and said, "Naturally, I've been there! And there are quite a few people who entered the palace today, and they didn't say a few words to the Queen Mother!"

Shen Shixing leaned down on the chair and said, "It's good to go, it's good to go!"

The lady was a little discouraged when she heard this, and after waving her hand to let the maids go down, she said, "Master, other people's wives are eager to go to the palace every day, why do you have to keep the days to enter the palace? Look at the lady of the Zhang family, she has been in the palace more than a dozen times this month, and she coaxed the mother to the point that she didn't know how happy she was! I can't say that this time the position of the first assistant will fall on the Zhang family!"

Shen Shixing sat up straight and said, "What do you know? Don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing this, the lady angrily threw the fan in her hand on the table and said, "Why doesn't the concubine understand? Didn't the lady of the Zhang family enter the palace just to have a good relationship with the queen mother, and in the future, she will be like Zhang Jiangling in the court! The concubine also knew that the Zhang family had also sent a lot of valuable gifts to Zhang Banban, but they were all returned! Why, the master doesn't want to fight for the position of the first assistant?"

At this time, Shen Shixing suddenly laughed and lay back, saying, "Woman's opinion! Father Liu's attention here is to fight or not, and if you don't fight, you fight!"

When the lady heard this, she grabbed the fan and slapped it on his arm and said, "If you have something to say, don't fight with the concubine, and you're not a monk!"

And Shen Shixing shook his head and said proudly, "The Buddha said don't say it, don't say it!"

The lady was even more angry when she saw him like this, and picked up the fan and beat him a few times! These few hits didn't hurt, but they made Shen Shixing laugh! He stretched out his hand to stop Madame's fan and said, "Madam, they all say that you women have long hair and short knowledge, and that's really the case! I want to contact the Queen Mother and the Master of Ceremonies, so that I can make a promise in the court! But now that His Majesty even has a few sons, and Zhang Companion has grown up with him, where is this road so easy to walk?"

When Madame heard that he seemed to mean something else, she came up to ask him! However, at this time, Shen Shixing resolutely refused to say any more, and Mrs. was helpless to ask repeatedly! Coincidentally, at this time, there was the following steward to report the matter, and he could only let Shen Shixing go!

At sunset in the evening, Zhang Siwei finally stepped out of the duty room. By the time he walked out of the palace, the sun had already begun to set!

Now that one person is missing, everyone's work has increased a lot! So when they leave the palace these days, it's basically time for the sun to set! Zhang Siwei couldn't see half of the sun on the horizon standing outside the imperial city, and the only thing he could see was the sunset!

Looking at the sunset, he couldn't help but sigh! During this time, he always entered the palace before dawn, and he could only come out after dark, and he couldn't even see the sun! It's such a busy day! The thought that it might be busier in the future makes me feel more comfortable!

Zhang Siwei can't stop after going home for dinner and washing up a little, some people must be seen! When he had sent some of the people away, he rubbed his temples and asked the butler, "Who else is asking to see you?" Forget it, the people behind you are gone, send them back another day!"

The housekeeper bowed down and said, "Master, your clan brother Zhang Yuanfeng is here early! He told the old slave that he must be arranged at the end, and that you will see him again when you are done with your business! Do you want to see him?"

Hearing this, Zhang Siwei said to himself, "What did he do when he came to see me? Forget it, let him in!"

To be honest, Zhang Siwei didn't plan to see Zhang Yuanfeng, because Zhang Yuanfeng's status in the family was not high! Back then, he only passed the examination for a showman, but he didn't even pass the exam! But Zhang Yuanfeng has an advantage, he is good at business! Now he is in charge of most of the Zhang family's business, and he has earned a lot of money back for the Zhang family! The expenses of the Zhang family depend on him, so Zhang Siwei finally decided to meet him!.

A moment later, Zhang Yuanfeng walked in under the guidance of the housekeeper. After he saw Zhang Siwei, he respectfully stepped forward and saluted and said:

"Brother, the younger brother is polite here!"

Zhang Siwei waved his hand and said, "My own brother, how can there be so many courtesies! Sit down by yourself!"

Then the maid served tea to Zhang Yuanfeng, and Zhang Siwei said at this time: "You have been in the Beijing Division during this time, and the time you have stayed is not short! You haven't been in Jingshi for so long before. And you don't come to the house very often, so is there something wrong with coming here today?"

Zhang Yuanfeng said with a reserved smile: "There is something, there are two things, the first thing is that I just sent 10,000 taels of silver to the house, which is specially used for the expenses of the house!" In addition, there are three thousand taels dedicated to my brother's personal use! These two pieces of silver have been delivered, so I came to tell my brother!"

Zhang Siwei nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. Although he is an old man, the Ming Dynasty has always been concise and clear, so there is no surplus food in the old house! If it weren't for Zhang Yuanfeng's annual appearance of sending a lot of them, let alone personal hobbies, even the people in the house wouldn't be able to support them!

So Zhang Siwei smiled and said, "Brother Xian has really worked hard over the years! Zhang's family is inseparable from the support of his virtuous brothers, and it can be said that he has worked hard!"

After the two of them said a few more words, Zhang Siwei said, "I don't know what the second thing you said is?"

Zhang Yuanfeng got up at this time and said solemnly, "Please also ask my brother to step back from the left and right!"

Zhang Siwei was stunned when he heard this! He didn't think that this brother in charge of business would have any confidential matters to tell him! So he was, "It's okay! Everyone around me is trustworthy, you can say anything directly!"

But Zhang Yuanfeng said more and more seriously: "Please also ask my brother to step back and go!"

At this time, Zhang Siwei finally felt that he seemed to have something important to say, so he waved his hand gently, and the housekeeper retreated with the others! When there were only the two brothers left in the room, Zhang Siwei said, "What can be said now!"

Zhang Yuanfeng straightened up and said with a strange smile, "Brother, I'm afraid that Zhang Jiangling didn't die of illness, right?"

Zhang Siwei was taken aback when he heard this, and instantly widened his eyes and looked up and down at the clan brother in front of him, and he was also shocked in his heart! Because he clearly knew one thing, that is, the imperial court had completely blocked the news of Zhang Juzheng's condition, and everyone thought that he was seriously ill and died after being blown by the wind! And there are very few people who know the real situation! The rest will either be silenced or put into custody!
