Zhang Zhou didn't stay in the Wenhua Hall for a long time, and when he explained his strategy to Zhu Houzhao, and when he left the palace, he happened to meet the Zhang brothers who entered the palace to find Queen Zhang.

When Zhang Zhou entered the palace, he heard Xiao Jing mention it, otherwise Zhang Zhou would not have assigned Zhu Houzhao the previous "after-school homework".

"Humph!"

The second child of the Zhang family saw Zhang Zhou from a distance and snorted lightly.

probably felt that Zhang Zhou also cheated them in the matter of bidding.

Zhang Zhou didn't go up to greet them, but just looked back.

Still snickering in my heart.

Look at your brother now, when you enter the palace and see the second ancestor of the demon king of the mixed world, it will be enough for you to drink a pot.

"Zhang Gongzi, don't leave yet, my second son-in-law has an order, saying that you should come over."

Zhang Zhou saw Zhu Feng's carriage again, and also saw Zhu Feng's subordinates, the guy named Zhu Daqi.

Because this person was very arrogant when he met him for the first time, Zhang Zhou held a grudge, Zhang Zhou was the best at holding grudges, and he had already nicknamed this person "pig intestine" in his heart.

Boy.

Sooner or later, you'll change your name!

"Is there something wrong?" Zhang Zhou's face was indifferent.

Zhu Feng liked to look for him when he was fine, but this time he was even more desperate, he didn't come anymore, so send someone?

You Zhu Zhijie is very rude, can you know?

Zhu Daqi didn't dare to despise Zhang Zhou now, because he knew that even if Cheng Guogong himself stood in front of Zhang Zhou right now, he had to salute politely, and now Zhang Zhou was a person relied on by the royal family.

"My son-in-law said that he wanted to talk to you about the sharing of accounts, and he also said that he would introduce you to a person." Zhu Daqi said politely.

Zhang Zhou nodded, and his tone was still very unkind: "The matter of sharing accounts should have been talked about a long time ago, as for who to see, I don't like to socialize the most." ”

"Yes, please get in the carriage and tell my second son when you get to the place."

Zhu Daqi hurriedly called the coachman and drove the carriage over.

……

……

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhu was reviewing the recital, and at the same time, he was also preparing to have people draft an edict ordering Jianchang Bo Zhang Yanling to go to Xiuchangguo Gongjia Temple in Xingji County.

But at this time, Xiao Jing hurriedly came in from outside and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the queen invites you over." ”

"Isn't the queen seeing her two younger brothers? Let me do it? ”

Zhu Youzhu was very annoyed.

The matter is settled, and his wife is still urging, which makes him very undignified as a man.

It wouldn't be for me to promise to take back that batch of shit in front of her two younger brothers?

Threaten ...... in public Doesn't it embarrass me?

Does the queen not care about my face?

Xiao Jing said: "The messenger said that Shou Ning Hou and Jian Changbo have an important matter, and they want to ask Your Majesty, and you have to ask Your Majesty to go." ”

"Hmm."

Although Zhu Youzhu was reluctant to go to Kunning Palace, he always decided to buy materials, and it was okay to say it in front of the Zhang brothers.

Anyway, keep it a secret, and don't look back and let the queen know that he is the initiator......

When he was about to take Xiao Jing to Kunning Palace, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Has Bingkuan entered the palace?" ”

"I entered, just left, and entering the palace with the two uncles is a matter of front and back. By the way, Your Majesty, on the way to the palace, the two uncles were ...... by the crown prince Called over! ”

"Prince?"

Zhu Youzhu frowned.

Son, which song is this? Let him keep it a secret, why did he still go to his two uncles? This is also taught by Zhang Zhou?

……

……

Inside the main hall of Kunning Palace.

Empress Zhang sat on her phoenix seat, and Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling sat left and right on the guest seats below......

Happy, lonely, and aggrieved.

Zhu Youzhu frowned secretly just by looking at the reaction of the brothers.

Sure enough, people who don't have a proper shape are so weird and alternative no matter how they behave.

"Your Majesty, are you here? The concubine greets you. ”

When Empress Zhang saw Zhu Youji, she reversed her previous indifferent attitude and took the initiative to come over to show her goodwill.

When he saluted Zhu Youji, he was not perfunctory at all.

This scene also made Zhu Youzhu stunned.

Wife, what's wrong? The last time we met, it seemed that you didn't have this attitude, this is to pretend that we are in love with each other in front of your two younger brothers?

Zhu Youzhu sat down, and when he saw the Zhang brothers, he remembered to salute him, and he directly raised his hand to stop him: "It's all a family, sit down and talk!" ”

Zhu Youzhu was also thinking about how to say it.

But I heard Empress Zhang say: "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to beg Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "Or is it for the wood and stone materials they have to build the palace?" ”

"Yes and no." Empress Zhang gave Zhu Youzhu an ambiguous beginning, and said earnestly, "The two younger brothers of the concubine are here to ask Your Majesty, saying that the family temple of the Zhang family in Xingji County is dilapidated, and I want to ask Your Majesty to send someone to repair it. ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Youzhu frowned.

I haven't mentioned it yet, the Zhang family brothers actually took the initiative to propose to repair the Zhang family temple, could it be that the Zhang family brothers, like Zhang Bingkuan, want to fool the late ghosts of your Zhang family?

Zhang Bingkuan is solving problems for me, what is the mentality of your brothers?

Zhu Youzhu said: "If you are good, why should you build a family temple?" ”

Originally, he was also going to bring up the matter.

Now the situation is different.

But since the Zhang brothers took the initiative to put it forward, the statement is different.

Zhu Youzhu suddenly found that his waist was up.

If I bring it up, and the queen knows that the materials are rotten wood, rotten bricks, and rotten stones, she will say that I pit your Zhang family and stuff bad things into your Zhangjia temple......

But now it is your two younger brothers who propose that at that time, not only can you not blame me, but I can also turn around and angrily accuse your two younger brothers of shoddy, deceive the superiors and subordinates, and fool the projects arranged by the imperial court!

The turn for the better is often so sudden.

The brothers of the Zhang family looked embarrassed, as if there was something unspeakable, but it was Empress Zhang who posed as a little woman, and said in a somewhat coquettish tone: "Your Majesty, it should be for the concubine, isn't it?" ”

"Ahem! This thing...... Let me think about it. ”

Zhu Youzhi was already overjoyed in his heart at this time, but he still had to pretend to be very cautious, "At this time, you have to call human hands, and you have to use wood and stone, where to adjust it for a while?" Crane age, Trillium, what do you think? ”

The Zhang brothers were questioned by the emperor, looking angry.

I'm probably still thinking about being threatened by my nephew before.

That scene......

Not to mention how exciting it is.

Zhang Heling said: "Your Majesty, that's the case, the two brothers just have a batch of materials in their hands...... This also happened to be a dilapidated family temple, so I specially came to ask Your Majesty. ”

Empress Zhang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, how good do you think this?" There is no need to go to the empress dowager to intercede, you can still use this batch of wood and stone, the Zhang family's family temple has also been repaired, which can make the ancestors of the Zhang family peaceful, and the concubines did not expect that Heling and Yanling could be so sympathetic to the difficulties of the court. ”

"Queen, that's what you say, but don't you need to spend money? The expenses are so large, I am afraid that the ministers in the court will not agree, so I can only transfer money from the inner treasury, which is very stressful. ”

"Your Majesty......"

Empress Zhang doesn't care so much.

Let the two younger brothers provide materials for the rebuilding of Qingning Palace, at most to make some money, but if the family temple is repaired for the Zhang family, this is not only to solve the problem of the younger brother, but also to make her face bright, and when she sees the old mother Mrs. Jin in the future, she can also brag about it, and it can better reflect the contribution made by the daughter to the family.

The significance of repairing Qingning Palace and repairing Zhangjiajia Temple is still very different from her.

"Then Heling, how much silver do you brother want?"

Of course, Zhu Youzhu couldn't agree directly.

can only put on a reluctant posture, and have to discuss with the Zhang brothers in the long run.

Zhang Heling looked at his younger brother, and then he was surprised: "Your Majesty, can you look at the price of 65,000 taels?" ”

Empress Zhang was not happy when she heard this, and said, "Didn't you bid 103,000 taels before?" Why do you need 65,000 taels now? ”

Zhang Heling was shocked: "You don't know the queen, in fact, when the minister purchased this batch of materials, the market price was still low, and he didn't spend so much silver, but later it was rumored that the palace was going to build the palace, and the price of wood and stone rose up, so the minister proposed 103,000 taels when bidding." ”

"The sixty-five thousand taels, you don't lose anything, do you?" Empress Zhang frowned.

She was embarrassed to say that you didn't even spend 65,000 taels when you purchased, so you dared to ask the court for 103,000 taels, no wonder she didn't choose you to supply.

"No loss, no loss!" Zhang Heling hurriedly said.

"Sixty-five thousand taels ......"

Zhu Youzhu thought about it, this is the same as the purchase price proposed by Zhang Zhou.

No profit or loss, in line with his heart.

"Heling, the price of the two of you didn't reach 65,000 taels when you purchased, and the Zhou family shouldn't have arrived, but later the price of materials increased, so you had to ...... In fact, it's not that the Zhou family is shoddy, that's what it means, right? ”

"Uh...... Be. Zhang Heling didn't want to admit it, but he could only admit it.

Zhu Youzhu said: "Queen, you see, someone wronged the Zhou family, and they are also worried about the court. The repair of the Qingning Palace was supplied at a lower price than the market price, which also reflected their filial piety to the imperial grandmother. ”

"Your Majesty......"

Empress Zhang is too lazy to pay attention to the Zhou family and Qingning Palace now.

If it weren't for the presence of her two younger brothers, she would have been annoyed again.

The concubine wants to build the family temple now, Your Majesty, you can say yes or no!

Zhang Yanling saw that his brother couldn't speak clearly, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, my two brothers have discussed, since it is a temple to repair the family temple, except for the 65,000 taels of wood and stone, the rest of the materials and manpower, etc., do not need to be allocated by the imperial court!" All by ...... The minister came to dig. ”

"What?"

Zhu Youzhu was confused.

Are these still the two brothers-in-law I know?

The two of you have really grown up, not only have you learned to share your worries, but you have also learned to add drama to yourself, right?

Wouldn't that save at least 10,000 taels of silver?

Empress Zhang glanced at her younger brother with very appreciative eyes, and then looked at Zhu Youzhu with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, you see, the two younger brothers of the concubine, how much do they think about you?" In fact, they are also filial sons and grandsons, you should be concubines, please agree to this matter! ”

When Zhu Youzhu heard this, he couldn't agree immediately.

Because he was also afraid that the two "filial sons" of the Zhang family would regret it.

Zhu Youzhu smiled and said, "How can I not be considerate of you, the queen? It's just that you don't have to dwell on the past anymore, I'm willing to give these 65,000 taels of silver! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Empress Zhang was overjoyed, and the grievances with her husband were naturally written off.
