In front of the Chengguo Mansion.

Zhang Zhou stood on the steps, watching a group of people below busy carrying things, large and small boxes.

Three wagons were also prepared for him to load as gifts.

"It looks powerful, but it doesn't have much value, so how good would it be if a box of copper coins were exchanged for gold? You have become a big family in the country, are you missing? ”

"Oops! The silk is only given to four horses, so let's kill them! ”

Zhang Zhou was not very satisfied with these gifts, but they looked quite a lot, and they looked good on the surface, so he calculated in his heart that it should be difficult to get a hundred taels of silver.

Even if it is to help Zhu Feng earn money in business, and give a dime a dime in dividends, it should be more than this.

"Uh-huh......"

Just when Zhang Zhou was still planning to make a plate in his heart, a throat-clearing voice sounded behind him, as if he was deliberately trying to remind him that someone was coming!

When Zhang Zhou heard this voice, he knew that it was Ning Tong.

turned around, and sure enough, Ning Tong took his little maid and stood on the steps and looked down.

"Isn't this Mrs. Zhu? I haven't seen you for many days, but my complexion is very good. Zhang Zhou greeted with a smile.

Ning Tong looked at the busy crowd at the door, and said coldly: "I finally know what you discussed with your husband, you are also quite bold, you actually dare to go to the court to offer medicine to the little princess, and you actually made it?" Do you know what happens if you don't do it? ”

Zhang Zhou smiled.

This little girl, with no hair on her mouth, came to scare him?

"Madame Zhu, in my opinion, unless Your Majesty does not adopt our opinions, if you do, things will definitely be done, and there is no need to think about the question of whether it will be successful. The little princess is infected with acne, even if something happens, will she be able to rely on others? ”

Zhang Zhou's smile was like a spring breeze, and he explained to Ning Tong that it was useless, seeing that the loading was almost the same, he should also go home in a beautiful way...... Then wait for Ying Tianfu to send their reward.

Today was a sunny day, and I got a bunch of valuable things for nothing.

Family conditions need to be improved again.

Zhang Zhou was eager to go back and share it with his wife and children.

Ning Tong on the side said: "Hmph! If you don't help him, then he may be just a gentleman in the public government for the rest of his life, and he won't even be a real official. And now, the emperor admires him and leaves him on an errand in front of the emperor! ”

Zhang Zhou pondered for a moment the overtone of these words.

It sounds like you're a wife, and you don't support others helping your husband? Your husband is prosperous, and you still feel sorry for yourself here?

What hatred and what grudge?

"Mrs. Zhu, since Gongzi Zhu is now staying in the capital as an errand, you are also going to move to the capital, right?" Zhang Zhou asked with a smile.

Ning Tong had a red dust and worldly indifference on his face: "With the way we get along, is there any difference between me and whether I go to Jingshi or not?" ”

"Huh?"

That's not right.

Zhang Zhou thought to himself, this grievance is big.

"Wait, Mrs. Zhu, how do you husband and wife get along, you don't need to tell me an outsider, I just asked casually, I don't mean anything else, you see that my carriage is also installed, so I will leave first!" We'll talk about it later! ”

Zhang Zhoucai didn't want to pay attention to the bad things in Zhu Feng's family.

It doesn't matter what happens to you and your wife, even if you get married, what does it have to do with me? Don't say I'm instigating you!

"The Book ......"

Ning Tong finally remembered that she had finished reading the second volume of the script, and this time she came out to ask Zhang Zhou when the next volume would be handed over to her.

But Zhang Zhou is very busy now, how can he have time to pay attention to her?

Zhang Zhou didn't seem to even hear her words, and got into the carriage directly, and then added the carriage carrying the goods, and the four carriages went off into the distance.

……

……

In the courtyard of the Zhang family.

As soon as Zhang Zhou arrived home, he came at the reward given by Tianfu.

Now Zhang Zhou finally understood that these rewards would definitely not be given only by Tianfu, because many of them were tribute, and you could only use them if the emperor said that you could use them, and even ordinary ministers could not enjoy the treatment of using these things.

"Husband, what kind of satin is this? Why is it so pretty? ”

Sent away the guests, a yard of good things, while Jiang Pingyu and Han Qing set their eyes on the six silk horses sent by Ying Tianfu.

These satins are very brilliant, under the sunlight, and even faintly change the brilliance, it is the "Nanjing Yunjin" that has left a brilliant stroke in the history of Chinese handicraft manufacturing.

The people have never seen this thing much, and they were all made by the royal palace and sent directly to the palace as tribute.

Of course, not all of them are used by the royal family, and ministers, princes and nobles may be given some by the royal family.

Han Qing didn't even dare to pick up the silk to look at it, but just stretched out his hand and carefully groped for it, for fear that it would be damaged.

She couldn't help but praise: "It's so slippery, the pattern on it, I don't know how it's weaved, it looks like a cloud." ”

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "This is Yunjin, a royal thing." ”

Jiang Pingyu looked at Zhang Zhou and said with an unbelievable look: "Husband, how can this be Yunjin?" I heard that Yunjin can't buy it even if you have money. ”

"Madam, you are really right, this is really money can't buy it, speaking of which, for my husband, I did a big thing without telling you, anyway, let the emperor who was far away in the capital be grateful to me, and then let Ying Tianfu give us these things."

When Jiang Pingyu heard this, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "Husband, the concubine knows that you are powerful, but don't make fun of the royal affairs." ”

Zhang Zhouyi said with a wronged look: "Madam, you have to believe that you are a husband, but you are not bragging at all." ”

As he was talking, Sui Sui and Zhang Jun also ran to the front yard.

The two little ones looked at the boxes all over the yard with great joy, and to them they looked like big toys.

Zhang Jun was pleasantly surprised: "Dad, have we made a fortune?" Buying so many things? ”

"Stinky boy, what do you mean to get rich? Is wealth really important in your eyes? To acquire something other than wealth...... See what you like and pick a few to go back! "Zhang Zhou is very generous.

Anyway, I didn't buy it myself, it was given by someone else, and it was a casual thing to give a few things to children as toys, and they would be confiscated by their mothers anyway.

Jiang Pingyu said: "Husband, don't get used to them. ”

"It's fine."

Zhang Zhou didn't think so.

And Han Qing on the side finally had the courage to pick up the satin of Yunjin, and after comparing it on his body, he said to Jiang Pingyu: "Madam, if this is made into clothes, how beautiful it will be?" ”

Zhang Zhou said: "These silks are not for me, they are all for you, three horses for one person." Remember that this thing can't be delivered, only our family can use it, and if you give it to someone else, it's not a gift, but a disaster! ”

Jiang Pingyu heard the seriousness in her husband's words and asked, "Is this really a tribute Yunjin?" ”

Zhang Zhou nodded: "Yes!" If you have any leftovers from making clothes, remember to make me a back, so that I can feel silky smooth and comfortable when I sleep in my arms at night. ”

"Hmm."

Jiang Pingyu nodded at first, and then thought that it seemed that her husband had also used it on them at some point.

Thinking of the relevance, Jiang Pingyu's cheeks were also a little red, but he was full of joy and commanded a few maids, as well as Han Qing, to help carry things.

……

……

With the help of the family, it took more than half an hour to move everything to a place with tiles to cover their heads.

As soon as I sat down to rest, Lichun was about to finish lunch when there was a knock at the door.

It was Jiang Dezhong who came to the door in a hurry.

"Virtuous son-in-law, the big thing is not good, the price of grain in this city, and others, the price has dropped again and again, the batch of medicinal materials that the old man advanced first has now lost more than half, and he can't find a buyer if he wants to sell!"

Jiang Dezhong came up as if he was crying and mourning, and complained to Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou asked Xia Zhi to move the octagonal table and small bench, but Weng and his son-in-law still did not sit in the house, but still sat in the courtyard and talked.

"Father-in-law, don't be nervous, it's like this, it's better to calm down. Come, have some tea! ”

Zhang Zhouxin said, why did you go earlier? If you want to sell it, you won't sell it, and now that the price has fallen, you will come and tell me again, I still have the ability to raise it for you?

He took out the tea he was tasting earlier and poured a cup for Jiang Dezhong with the purple clay pot given by the emperor.

Jiang Dezhong has drunk tea all his life, and he has seen a lot of exquisite tea sets, and when he saw the purple clay pot, his eyes lit up: "This ...... That's a good thing. ”

As he spoke, he took it in his hand and looked at it, and the lines on it made him feel that something was wrong.

"How about tasting this tea first." Zhang Zhou said with a smile.

Jiang Dezhong wanted to say, I still have the heart to drink tea at this time?

But after seeing the purple clay pot, he also became interested in tea, so he put the purple clay pot down, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and looked very enjoyable.

Then I drank it all, and after drinking, I looked like a misty look, and I didn't know that I thought it was a smoker who hadn't been exposed to cigarettes for ten days, and I was full of intoxication after smoking a load of cigarettes.

"Good tea, good tea, what kind of tea is this? Is there a way? Give some back. "Jiang Dezhong came up and exposed the essence of a businessman.

"Oh, I'm afraid it won't work, this is tribute tea. You can't buy it on the market! ”

Zhang Zhou said it casually.

"Bang dang!"

One of the small benches under Jiang Dezhong's buttocks couldn't sit steadily, and he fell directly, and he almost sat on the ground, but fortunately he stood up with his hands on the table.

"Virtuous son-in-law, are you messing with the old man? Is this tribute tea? Where did you get your tribute tea? Jiang Dezhong hurriedly got up and straightened the small bench, but he didn't sit down.

Zhang Zhou said: "If my father-in-law likes this tea, I will ask Neiko to wrap some for you and take it back to taste it slowly." Let's not talk about tea for now, I have something to ask you for help with, you see...... Can you help me buy a dozen cows back? I'm in a hurry here! ”
