When Zhu Youzhu came out of the Wenhua Palace, he changed his previous gloomy and gloomy expression, and his pale face was reflected in the warm sun.

It seems that Li Guang, Tu Huang, and Bai Mi cases can't make waves in his heart.

"This Bingkuan can teach the prince to be so learning, and there are really some means, I didn't believe him wrong."

Zhu Youzhu was comforted in his heart, probably thinking that it was his own outstanding vision that he discovered the talent of Zhang Zhou.

When you are an emperor, you also need to be self-satisfied.

Dai Yi said with a smile: "Zhang Jieyuan, he not only knows astronomy and geography, but also knows how to save people from heaven and hanging pots, but it's a pity that he hasn't been admitted to the Jinshi yet, otherwise...... In the future, Your Majesty will be able to have one more talent. ”

Zhu Youzhu shook his head and said: "Talents, it doesn't matter what fame is, there is a certain bias in judging people by articles. ”

As soon as Dai Yi heard it, he understood that the emperor was trying to reuse Zhang Zhou.

The fairest imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was said to be so unbearable by the emperor just because it did not meet Zhang Zhou's admission requirements for fame.

"And that sand table exercise, it's very interesting, it makes me think...... Alas! ”

Dai Yi heard some signs.

The emperor was very happy to see his son playing, and he was itching beside him, and it was estimated that the emperor himself wanted to go up and fight with others on the sand table.

Who said that a man who is an emperor and has a son must be busy with official business?

Playing games has nothing to do with age for men, and they can still have a childlike heart in their seventies and eighties.

Dai Yi said tentatively: "Then Your Majesty, do you want people to put the sand table...... Moving in for you? Or...... Do you go again? ”

Zhu Youzhu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I still have official business to do." Well, otherwise, you send someone to keep an eye on the point, and after Bingkuan leaves, I will go to the Wenhua Hall again, and I will say that I will personally teach the prince the art of war. ”

Dai Yi was speechless.

Just play, I don't want the courtiers to see it so as not to be ashamed, but also to find a high-sounding excuse.

Teach the prince the art of war? Your Majesty, are you a soldier who knows the soldiers?

Dai Yi pondered again, the more people lack something in their hearts, the more they want to show something, maybe this monarch of the Ming Dynasty is not very good at marching and fighting, so he is eager to prove himself.

"Yes, the old slave will arrange for someone to come over."

Zhu Youji's face was sunny: "The weather is pretty good today." ”

"Yes."

Dai Yixin said, that's because you saw Zhang Bingkuan, and your mood was like this weather.

Otherwise, no matter how good the weather is, you will be familiar with it.

……

……

After Zhang Zhou passed noon, Zhu Feng came in and told Zhang Zhou that he was leaving the palace.

"What's the hurry?"

Zhu Houzhao was still eating, and he hadn't had enough of the sand table exercises in the morning.

Zhu Feng said something in Zhang Zhou's ear.

Zhang Zhou stepped forward and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a time limit for the minister to enter the palace, if you still want the minister to come in the future, let the minister do his own thing." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should know that any reluctance regarding His Majesty's arrangements will not end well. ”

A group of eunuchs around looked at Zhang Zhou with big eyes.

The heart said that you Zhang really dare to say it.

Listening to the meaning of this, you seem to be educating the prince, and it seems to be instigating the relationship between father and son, you are getting carried away for a while, right?

Zhu Houzhao said: "Hmph! With you say? ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "The details of this game, the prince also understands a rough idea at present, and the people in the East Palace will accompany the prince to continue to deduce, if there is a new way to play, the minister will also be listed in the book, and the next time he enters the palace, he will bring it along with other things." ”

Zhu Houzhao was originally quite unhappy, but when he heard this, his little eyes suddenly brightened: "Then say okay, come early next time." Also, bring all the good things you said. ”

After speaking, he didn't even care about eating and continued to eat, and personally sent Zhang Zhou out of the Wenhua Palace.

When he saw Zhang Zhou leave, there was a reluctant mist in his small crystal eyes, which made the surrounding eunuchs feel distressed.

Liu Jin was jealous in his heart, and he was thinking in his heart, this kid has only been in the palace once, and he has not met the prince a few times in total, so can the prince be so affectionate towards him?

You can't let him continue, or what will happen to me in the future?

I am the person who is the best at coaxing the prince to play in the East Palace!

……

……

Zhang Zhou and Zhu Feng rode back in a carriage.

Zhu Feng had long admired Zhang Zhou to the ground, and praised Zhang Zhou on the carriage, and finally made a summary: "...... Brother Zhang, I am convinced, it seems that you are really the pillar of governance, and the Ming Dynasty will depend on you in the future. ”

Zhang Zhou pouted: "I'm coaxing the child, do you think I'm supporting Sheji?" ”

"It's all the same, it's all the same."

Zhu Fengle hehe, "You are Mr. Wolong, I follow you, just learn more." ”

Zhang Zhou thought to himself, you probably can't learn much from me with this knowledge reserve, what kind of honor do you think it is to accept you by your side?

"Where is this going?" Zhang Zhou suddenly became vigilant.

Zhu Feng smiled: "It's to meet someone." ”

Zhang Zhou immediately shouted: "Stop!" ”

The driver who was driving the car outside was startled, and quickly reined in the reins of the horse and braked the car.

Zhu Fengren stumbled, and hurriedly said, "It's none of your business, continue to catch the car." ”

Zhang Zhou still insisted on leaving, and coldly threw down a sentence: "Zhijie, every time I take your car, I feel like I am being dragged to the Hades Palace. ”

Zhu Feng grabbed his arm and said, "Don't, it's a good thing, it's a business." That's what you said earlier, let me go to the Zhou family to bid together, but the Zhou family's supply is not much, don't find the person who supplies it, or our businessmen in the south, want you to check it? ”

When Zhang Zhou heard this, he frowned slightly, as if he felt that this matter was still reliable.

If you see an ordinary businessman, even if you are not condescending, at least there is no personal danger.

"Go on, go! Hurry up, don't delay Brother Zhang to go home to accompany his wife and children. ”

Zhu Feng is also learning to be obedient now, and knows that Zhang Zhou likes to talk about his wife and children's hot kang heads.

……

……

When I arrived at the teahouse where I met, it looked very elegant and quiet, only on the second floor, the windows were open, and Zhang Zhou was also wondering if it was not cold at the end of autumn?

Or do you say that you come from the south and don't adapt to the climate of the north?

"Brother Zhang, tell you, it's a good thing, you have beauty. The color of a knife on the head. Zhu Feng was also afraid that Zhang Zhou would leave with his sleeves away, so he would create some expectations first.

Zhang Zhou looked at Zhu Feng with a strange gaze.

It's like saying, the "color" we think about shouldn't be the same thing, right? Is it by your standards? Or by my standards?

Zhu Feng pulled him upstairs, only then did he know that it was still his standard.

Among the many table guests, near the open window, there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman with the fireworks of the market, with her fingers clasped in front of her, standing proudly, saluting Zhu Feng and Zhang Zhou from afar.

Appearance......

Zhang Zhou tasted the product, and it was okay.

But it is a small round face, which is very in line with the aesthetics of men in this year, but he still likes the "fox spirit" with a melon seed face, and there are already good wives at home.

The heart of a married man......

"The little woman Chen, I have seen the little grandfather and Zhang Gongzi." After the other party gave a salute, he said in a very gentle voice.

The voice is not very crisp, and the very thin voice is obviously deliberately lowing the voice, so that the woman who rolls in the market Vanity Fair will definitely not be so graceful, and she must have the pungent side of a strong woman in her career.

Zhang Zhou will not be deceived by this little bird's appearance.

said that it was Chen, not "X Chen", which means that he is not married and has his maiden name.

Zhang Zhou smiled: "Oh, Miss Chen, right? Fortunately, I will be honored. ”

……

……

After sitting down, the daughter of the Chen family poured tea for Zhang Zhou herself, and her skin was still very white, and Zhang Zhou also found that women in these years seemed to have whiter and more delicate skin than women of a certain era in later generations.

It probably has something to do with the fact that women in this year are very tightly wrapped in all seasons and will not wear short sleeves to go out in summer.

It is not raised by water and soil, but created by the background of the times.

"Brother Zhang, that's the case, the Chen family is mainly engaged in the official salt business in Jiangnan, and they have business dealings with the Chengguo Mansion in the past. This time she came to the north, and she had a batch of stones on hand, and she just had enough to go to the bidding, and the bidding was about to take place, and there was no delay. ”

Zhu Feng explained the situation.

In Zhang Zhou's opinion, this kid is still too sincere.

This is called revealing your hole cards.

"How much?" Zhang Zhou asked.

Chen Jianu said: "There are tens of thousands of square meters, and they will be transported to the capital in the next two days, all of which are good deep pit stones, and fifty catties of iron hammers cannot be broken." ”

Zhang Zhou nodded: "Zhijie, you don't have to tell me about this kind of thing, you can accept it if you have the goods." Is there anything else to do? ”

"Huh?" Zhu Feng didn't expect that Zhang Zhou's checks were so concise, and he said, "No...... Nope. ”

The daughter of the Chen family seemed to notice something, and took out a book from her arms and said: "I heard that Zhang Gongzi is a trial solution in Jiangnan Township, and he must have the ability to appreciate books. Also, the little girl has been doing business with Ling Nu Weng for many years, and this time he went north, and he also entrusted him to come to visit. ”

After a little force, the woman didn't speak so gently, and poured out all the thoughts in her heart like a cannon.

"You still know my father-in-law?"

"Yes. Mr. Jiang's wine is very famous in Jiangnan. ”

The Chen family girl breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's fine. You are docking with the little grandfather of the Zhu family, not me. Please come back. ”

The Chen family didn't expect that even if Jiang Dezhong moved out, Zhang Zhou would still be so angry, but she could only get up, and she didn't forget to remind her when she left: "Zhang Gongzi has time to read this book more." ”

……

……

"Brother Zhang, she still has some appearance, why did she want to drive her away so much? Maybe she'll give it a generous gift? Seeing off the daughter of the Chen family, Zhu Feng asked with a puzzled face.

Zhang Zhou flipped the book in his hand slightly, revealing the gold leaf inside.

Zhu Feng was stunned in an instant.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Do you think it wasn't delivered?" Not to mention this gold, even this thread-bound book is worth dozens of taels of silver on the market. I said Zhijie, you do business with people, don't come with these people who are good at officialdom, they are unprincipled for the sake of profit, I can talk to you about cooperation with you today, and I may go to the Zhang brothers to show loyalty when I turn around. ”

"When you finished bidding, she pumped the supply and told you that the materials were insufficient, and then the Zhang brothers deliberately stuck you, so that you couldn't buy the materials, wouldn't a good game of chess be ruined by you?"

Zhu Feng instantly hung his head like a frosted eggplant and said, "Got it." ”

As he was talking, Dr. Tea came upstairs and said with a faceless face: "The business is over, right?" Occupy the table for a long time, hurry up, there will be a cultural meeting here, and it will be wrapped! ”

"Holy!"

Zhu Feng became angry when he heard this, and when he touched his waist, he remembered that he was just going to the East Palace to accompany the prince today, and he didn't wear a brocade guard.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Aren't we like scholars? ”

"Scholars still come to talk to people about business?" Dr. Tea said, "Those who come soon are all masters, but if there is a champion among them, it is known that he has sat with people here and talked about the Tao, and no matter what kind of scholar will visit in the future." Let's go! ”

"Dogs look down on people!"

Zhu Feng didn't want to hit people this time, so he wanted to come out and brag.

Zhang Zhou pulled Zhu Feng to sit down, and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's go." ”

Dr. Tea directly cleaned up the teapot and tea bowl on the table, leaving a bare table for them.

"Let's just say that he has no vision, he doesn't know that he is the most popular candidate for the palace exam next year, so he sits in front of him?"

Zhu Feng looked disdainful.

As he was talking, a scholar in a green shirt with a smile on his face came over from the next table, laughing with his hands, touching things out of his arms, and said, "Look at the two, they are also readers, right?" The contemptible people are happy with the heavens, the words are mellow, and I am fortunate to have seen it. ”

As he spoke, he handed the name card to Zhang Zhou and Zhu Feng's arms.

Zhang Zhouxin said, isn't this my reserved item?

When I looked at the famous post, I found that there were no items introduced on it except for the name.

"Shuntianfu? Looking for something to do with us? Zhu Feng looked guarded.

Qi Qing said with a smile: "That's the case, today's Wenhui is in the next bureau, and the two of them are also like people who have entered Beijing to take the exam. But it doesn't matter, this article will be done often, do you think you two need to be famous, or do you need to make friends with dignitaries? Follow the following, there is a way in the capital, and the two can be introduced. ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "Today's article meeting, how to pay attention to it?" ”

Qi Qingdao: "That's the case, Tang Bohu, a great genius in Jiangnan, has arrived in the capital yesterday, and the people around Shuntianfu are raising people and paying tribute, and they are preparing to compete with the Jiangnan scholars represented by him. This literary meeting is precisely for the selection of good materials, and I went to fight. ”

"Damn!"

Zhu Feng was upset when he heard it, "Tang Bohu? Is that Jiangnan Township the second in the test? What qualifications does he have to represent Jiangnan Shizi? ”

Qi Qing was also quite enthusiastic, probably seeing that the two of them were dressed extraordinarily, and said with a smile: "That's the case, I heard that this year's Ying Tianfu Jieyuan is an example of tribute, and it was not famous in the past, and it was only known in the Gongyuan Dynasty." Tang Yin had to compete with him in Nanjing, but this person ran away first...... This matter was rumored in Nanjing for a while, and they all felt that this son had no ink, so he did not dare to take it. Tang Yin regarded himself as the first genius in the south of the Yangtze River, all the way north, and had confrontations with scholars in many places, he not only wrote poems and paintings, but also wrote outstanding articles, and no one was outstanding. ”

"This ......"

Zhu Feng couldn't help but look at Zhang Zhou.

It's like saying, if you don't compare your talents with Tang Yin, why did you still run away?

Zhang Zhou glanced back at him, as if asking him, why did I come to the capital, don't you know?
