Zhang Zhou saw off the emperor's father and son, and when he entered the house, he found that the craftsmen in the courtyard were ready to pack up their stalls and leave.

There was also a very honest man who persuaded him: "...... The work isn't done yet, Uncle Che, we can't go. ”

This man's shoulders are very round, and his square face looks like an embarrassing character in Zhang Zhou's eyes, and his words are very pale and weak, and obviously it will not have a positive effect on those craftsmen.

"Two fools, if you want to you, let's go!"

A group of people resist the ladder and move the shelf.

Zhang Zhou said sharply: "What are you going to do?" If you don't finish your work, you want to leave? ”

A mason in his fifties came up to him and said, "This man, you have caused trouble, right?" We are all small people, and we can't afford to provoke the officials, so we won't do this work, so you can settle this half-day's salary. ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "Who said that I caused trouble? ”

"Those ...... times"

"Just now there were just a few people with knives, as if no one had a knife! See this house? Have you ever seen a lintel so high? Know what this used to be? ”

"Official...... Official residence? Are you an official? I didn't see you wearing an official uniform. ”

"I'm a lifter, do you understand? Before, my son, don't look at that kid, it's a hereditary brocade guard! You blind people, do you want me to give you some color to see? ”

A group of craftsmen looked at each other.

No matter how you listen to it, this person in front of you seems to be bragging.

But if it's pure bragging, how can you live in a big house in Sanjin Courtyard in the Clarification Workshop? This area cannot be called either rich or expensive, and the rich alone are not qualified to live here.

"Look at what? If you collect the money, you will work for me, or you will be sent to the yamen for trial!" ”

Zhang Zhou had a menacing posture.

He had to.

The people in front of them are not bad-eyed, they are afraid of bullying the soft and the hard, and they are also afraid of causing trouble.

The more majestic he is, the more he can suppress them.

This trick really worked, and a group of craftsmen could only spread out the things that had been put together again and go to work.

Zhang Zhou stood aside and watched for a while like a supervisor, and then waved his hand to the so-called "two fools" and asked him to come to his side.

"Proprietor, what's wrong with you?"

The second fool really lived up to the name that others gave him, and he didn't seem so shrewd.

But what Zhang Zhou likes is his honesty.

"What's it called?"

"Two fools."

"Daimyo?"

"The big name is Jia Laoshui, and my father said that the water in the old well is delicious."

"Then your father should call you Jia Laojing. How old is it? ”

"Twenty-five."

"Married?"

"Nope. Can't afford to marry. ”

"Who else is in the house?"

"Daddy died in the first year. There is also my mother, two old sisters, my mother asked me to come out to do manual work and make money to marry my sister. ”

Zhang Zhou pondered, this kid is quite realistic.

Zhang Zhoudao: "That's okay, in the future, Jia Laoshui, you will do it with Master Ben, and I will give you 300 wen a month, is it enough?" ”

"Enough, just do whatever you have to do."

"Living in the city?"

"Out of town!"

"If you enter the city early, you will report to my door and your salary will be counted tomorrow. After working for a year, I will guarantee that you will marry a daughter-in-law and go back! ”

"Hey, hey!"

Zhang Zhou turned his head and glared at the group of craftsmen who were looking this way, and the craftsmen heard what he said earlier, and they were still smiling at Jia Laoshui.

It's not the envy of "you kid meets a nobleman", it's more like a kind of ridicule of "you don't have a good life and you can't bear it".

……

……

Zhang Zhou entered the inner courtyard, and several members of the family were anxiously waiting for him, and when they saw him come back, a room of women and children surrounded him.

"Husband, who is it? Da Lang came back and said that he seemed to have provoked the prince, and said that he had seen the prince's father...... Husband, it won't be the emperor, right? ”

Jiang Pingyu was terrified.

In the past, she was always suspicious of what her husband said to do things for the emperor, but today it is said that even her son provoked the emperor's father and son, and scared her into having no master.

Zhang Zhou beckoned and asked Zhang Jun to step forward.

Zhang Jun had already changed into clean clothes at this time, and he was still unconvinced: "Even if it is the prince and his father, they can't be unreasonable." ”

"Are people unreasonable? Even the prince didn't do anything to you, you are right to protect your sister, but sometimes you have to distinguish the situation......"

Having said that, Zhang Zhou thought for a while.

Put yourself in your shoes as Zhang Jun, and when you encounter an outsider coming into your yard to bully your sister, you should also rush forward.

Throwing muddy water on your body?

You should grab your hair and beat it up!

"Your Majesty said, your kid is quite loyal and courageous, with your father and me's demeanor, you may have the opportunity to learn from the prince again in the future!"

Zhang Zhou didn't take it too seriously.

There is no enmity between father and son, and the trouble caused by this kid will be cleaned up by the kid himself.

It seems that Zhu Houzhao is still a little interested in playing with mud, the more ordinary things ordinary people have, the more Zhu Houzhao longs for it, and when he grows up, Zhu Houzhao also looks forward to the market life every day, and still engages in the palace market?

Jiang Pingyu's hand holding her husband's arm was sweating, and her forehead was shining, she said, "Husband, is it really okay to beat the prince?" Why did the prince come to our house? ”

Zhang Zhou wrapped his arms around his arms, took his injured deer-like wife in his arms, and comforted him with a smile: "Your Majesty is not unreasonable, the prince is wrong in this matter, but Suisui, next time the girl should be stronger, don't cry when something happens!" Look at your brother's toss. ”

Hoho blinked her big innocent eyes.

I wanted to cry again, but I couldn't help it.

is too late for her little princess to feel distressed, thinking that Zhu Youzhu has those worries about his daughter's illness, Zhang Zhou also feels that he and Zhu Youzhu have a lot in common.

"Clean up, cook some food for me, go out and run for a long time to starve to death!"

"Also, you should hire some people to come back and fill up the courtyard, so that even if outsiders break in, if you want to resist foreign enemies, you don't have to let your women and children come out to block it!"

"Hmm."

Jiang Pingyu was in her husband's arms, nodding her head one after another, now she really knows that she is different from before.

……

……

At the dinner table.

Zhang Zhou was pulling the rice and vegetables in the bowl.

It was very physically exhausting to go out in the limelight before, whether it was to compare poems or take his son to apologize in front of the palace.

To say that he is not worried about Zhu Youji's guilt, it is impossible, at most it is just a gamble, I think that no matter how unreasonable the emperor is, he can't shout and kill because of a child fighting, right?

"Xianggong, my aunt came to visit before, saying that she received a letter from her father, and he was already on his way to Beijing."

Jiang Pingyu sat on the small bench on the side and said to Zhang Zhou very well-behaved.

Apparently she hadn't recovered from the events she had done before.

This is much more serious than before someone came to the house to rob them to pay off their debts, and the trouble was not good, and the family had to fall to the ground.

Of course, this is only her woman's opinion.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Is my father-in-law coming to the capital?" Very good. ”

said this, and scolded secretly in his heart, that old guy must have learned that his son-in-law was flying and wanted to come to get a dip, otherwise he wouldn't do the business of brewing and speculating in Nanjing, and what would he do in the unfamiliar capital?

"Your aunt?"

"Hmm. She was married to a man before, served as a teacher for several terms, and also served as a magistrate, she has always looked down on her father to do business, this time I heard that Jiangnan Xie Yuan in the public examination, I came to meet, and the concubine gave her our address before. My father didn't know where we lived, so he had the letter delivered to my aunt's house. ”

"Oh."

Fu has distant relatives in the mountains.

"My aunt didn't know my current situation, and she always thought that I was just married to Gongsheng, and the family situation was fine, but in fact, I haven't been in touch for the past few years. It's because after arriving in the capital, I need to find someone to help me, so I ......"

"It's okay, you don't have to explain it to me. It's good that your father is here, so I can hand over some business to him, after all, I will be an official in the future. ”

Jiang Pingyu stared at her husband with wide eyes: "Xianggong, after you arrived in the capital, you haven't concentrated on preparing for the exam, can you really win the spring next year?" ”

Zhang Zhou thought for a moment.

Say surely, obviously impossible, the butterfly effect has already been generated, will the questions of the 12-year examination of Hongzhi be the same as history? Even whether Li Dongyang and Cheng Minzheng are the main exams is now unknown.

He once bragged that he was very good at the imperial examination, so don't beat himself back to his original form in this examination.

No matter how well the article is written, it is still a little less interesting than those old pedants who have been immersed in it for more than ten years or even decades.

Zhang Zhou still has to show a confident posture in front of his wife: "Of course I can pass the exam, even if I don't pass the exam, I will take Zhang Jun's brocade clothes and Wei Qianhu as a pawn first, and then pass it on to him later, isn't it the same?" ”

Jiang Pingyu said: "That Xiaojun...... Is it from literature or martial arts? ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "In the past, I was bent on letting him study and take the imperial examination, but after today's incident, maybe it should be time for him to practice both civil and military, and let him get up every morning to practice, practice three nine in winter and three in summer, and then memorize the four books and five classics after practice, and make a mistake and hit ten strokes!" ”

"Oops!"

Zhang Jun's voice came from the window.

Obviously, this kid was lying on the window eavesdropping on his father's conversation, but he heard the cruel daily life arranged for him by his father, and then he couldn't grasp his hands steadily, and he fell in the yard.

"This stinky boy, dare to be a serious scholar and lie on the wall? If you don't look back and are not an all-rounder, how can you help the world? Maybe let him accompany the prince in the future! If you can't learn well, you will be castrated and sent to the palace directly! ”

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

When Zhang Jun heard this in the courtyard, he was so frightened that he ran away early.

Jiang Pingyu glanced at her husband: "Xianggongjing scared him." ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "The dual cultivation of civil and military affairs is also my expectation for him, I didn't think it was very important before, but now it seems to be indispensable." What His Majesty admires is his loyalty and bravery, and what the prince values is his playfulness. What I hope is that he can write to calm the world, and martial arts can go to the country to settle the country! Who doesn't want their son to be awesome? ”

"Hmm."

This time, Jiang Pingyu also felt the same way.

The cub who came out of his belly, of course, looked forward to his son being able to soar to the sky in the future.

……

……

Inside the Royal Palace.

As soon as Zhu Youzhu returned to the palace, he went to find Queen Zhang, hoping to share the joy of Zhang Zhou finding a miracle medicine for him to continue to have a son with his wife.

But unexpectedly, he was looked down upon by his wife again.

"Your Majesty, Heling and Yanling have suffered a big loss this time, it is said that the wood and stone materials in their hands cannot be sold, and some people deliberately lower the price. also said that the Zhou family and someone from the Chengguo Mansion joined forces to enrich their own pockets, don't you care? ”

"This ......"

Although Zhu Youzhu is the emperor, he seems to be inferior to Zhang Zhou in terms of getting along with his wife.

At least Zhang Zhou is the head of the family, and he says the same.

And he, Zhu Youji, is almost a "strict wife" in the affairs of his inner courtyard.

If it weren't for his "intimacy phobia", he would have only married one wife for the rest of his life, perhaps the situation would not have been so serious.
