In front of the Desheng Gate in the north of the city, Zhang Zhou spent two fortifications and ran two places before he saw Zhu Feng standing at the gate of the city.

"Brother Zhang."

The smile on Zhu Feng's face was still so kind.

Zhang Zhou went from the east of the city to the north of the city, and the bumps along the way also made him a little unbearable.

So Zhang Zhou's face was not so good, he said coldly: "Why did you see you at the city gate?" Do you want to meet someone? ”

Zhu Feng said: "That's the case, I just received the news that it was Uchiko's ship to Xiya today." ”

Xiya, that is, the later Jishuitan, is just outside the Desheng Gate, here is also the transportation end point of the canal connecting the capital, if it is the direction of Tongzhou by boat, will get off at the ferry here.

Zhang Zhou frowned: "You took me all the way to see your wife?" Will her presence help you and me in my errand in Beijing? ”

Zhang Zhou almost wanted to say that there was nothing wrong with Zhu Feng, right?

"No, Brother Zhang misunderstood, in fact, what I really want to introduce you to is the second son of the Guozi Priest Jiulin Shilang's family, didn't you see it that day when I was comparing poems? He contacted me and said he wanted to meet you, and I agreed...... Hey. ”

Zhang Zhou felt a kind of "ill will" from Zhu Feng's smile.

I wanted to come to Zhu Feng to see Lin Ting, or because Lin Ting would introduce the white-faced scholar to him, otherwise Zhang Zhou would not have thought of seeing Lin Ting, why would Zhu Feng show such an ambiguous and obscene smile.

"Aren't you here to split the accounts?"

Zhang Zhouxin said, really when I am very light every day?

I, Zhang, am very busy every day, and I can't stand it just because I am temporarily summoned to enter and exit the palace gate, and I almost forget that I am a candidate who came to the capital to participate in the entrance examination, and my other students are different.

"Uchiko said that she had arrived, and she had already said that she had disembarked from the ship, so why hadn't she come yet? Wait a little longer. ”

"Can't you go to the ferry and wait for her?"

"No, I'm seasick, I don't know how to water, I fell into the water when I was a child, so I'm most afraid of seeing water in my life!"

There are many problems.

……

……

Zhang Zhou accompanied others to wait for his wife, the most boring, and after waiting for a long time, he finally waited for Ning Tong and his party to wait for the carriage.

Ning Tong got out of the carriage, probably because of the bumpy journey and looked very haggard, but after seeing Zhang Zhou and Zhu Feng together, her eyes instantly widened.

"Tong'er, you are here, see who I brought to you? Brother Zhang, you've seen it yourself. ”

When Zhu Feng introduced her, the tone of her voice was a little different.

Zhang Zhou was speechless when he saw Ning Tong's vigilant appearance.

You Zhu Ershao don't think that others don't know about your liking, right? Who is with you, and you think someone else will feel honored?

"Mrs. Zhu."

Zhang Zhou was very polite.

Ning Tong just bowed slightly, and didn't even greet Zhang Zhou.

Zhu Feng didn't seem to notice his wife's abnormality at all, and still enthusiastically introduced: "...... Recently, thanks to Brother Zhang's care, I have been doing well in the capital, Tong'er, your journey is also smooth, right? ”

Ning Tong said: "Xianggong is now working in Jinyiwei, and he is still taken care of by others?" ”

Really......

There is ambiguity.

"Ugh." Zhang Zhou also had to quickly explain, "It's just that they usually do business, or take care of each other when they do things." ”

"Yes, yes, that's it, usually I discuss things with Brother Zhang, and sometimes I enter the palace with him, by the way, Tong'er, I originally thought that I entered Beijing just to be a Jinyi Wei commander of Jilu, who knew that His Majesty rewarded me with a real Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and about ten days a month to enter the palace to accompany the prince......"

Zhu Fengxu chattered.

Typical tabes.

Zhang Zhou was impatient, and said in his heart that if you husband and wife want to say goodbye, can't you wait until you go home?

Can you settle my account for me first, and I'll catch up with the next one?

Listening to your boy's words, it is getting darker and darker, there is nothing going on, and when your wife hears it, she may not think it is something dirty.

"Xianggong, the concubine is going back to the house first, can you send someone to accompany you?"

Even Ning Tong didn't bother to listen to Zhu Feng's nonsense.

Zhu Feng didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "What's the hurry, I arranged a table at the nearest restaurant and went together." ”

"No, the concubine is a little tired."

Zhang Zhou also saw that everyone has their own ambitions, Ning Tong married into the Chengguo Mansion just to be a young grandmother, what is as deep as the sea when he enters the Hou Gate, probably does not exist in Ning Tong.

But she didn't volunteer to come out to accompany her husband to show up.

Zhu Feng's face was cold on his buttocks, and he said with a smile: "Then find someone to send you back first, and we'll talk about it in detail later, I still have something to do with Brother Zhang." ”

Zhang Zhou smiled: "Yes, brother and sister, I do have something to do with Zhijie, we are talking about official affairs, and we don't have any private matters to discuss." You can rest assured! ”

When Ning Tong heard Zhang Zhou call himself "brother and sister", his brows couldn't help frowning.

But when he heard Zhang Zhou's words later, he couldn't help but ask as if he was mocking: "What can you rest assured?" ”

Zhang Zhou smiled.

This lady, you know in your heart, why I told you, everyone knows it.

"I mean, Madame don't worry about handing him over to me, after we finish talking, I will definitely let him go back to accompany you, I still have a wife and children at home waiting for me to go back. There have been too many things recently, and I have to enter the palace if I have nothing to do, it's too cumbersome, and I don't have the heart to prepare for the exam, so I don't get tired of it. ”

Zhang Zhou's words sounded like bragging.

Even Ning Tong was puzzled.

You are a person, even if you have helped the emperor to cure pox and plague, you will not often go in and out of the court, right?

But there was something that she understood.

Zhang Zhou was also telling her that he was not interested in her husband at all, and Zhang Zhou was just cooperating with Zhu Feng on official business.

……

……

Ning Tong's entry into Beijing was just a small episode of Zhang Zhoulai settling accounts with Zhu Feng.

When he arrived at the nearest restaurant, Zhu Feng handed over the account book to Zhang Zhou.

"Chang Ningbo is responsible for the contact of the Zhou family to buy wood and stone, the wood is mainly supplied by me, the cost is 20,000 taels, and they also have to earn a little over there, a total of 24,000 taels, all of which are plain silver, and the palace procurement Brother Zhang You know, they are all settled in silver, so there is no copper money ever given."

"Here I will give you six thousand taels, four thousand taels are what you deserve, and two thousand taels are my gifts."

Zhu Feng pointed to a line in the account book.

Zhang Zhou frowned and said, "You have nothing to do when you go out and keep accounts?" Who else has seen this account book? ”

It was originally a matter of earning kickbacks, Zhang Zhouxin said that you have no brains, and you still write down the accounts?

"No one has seen it. This is my private record. Zhu Feng said.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Ruined!" Ready-made case, what is the result of Li Guang's bookkeeping, you should know, right? ”

"I'm not named...... Okay, I'll tear it up when I turn around, but I sometimes forget something, a good account is better than a bad pen, and if I don't write it down, I'm afraid I won't be able to remember it when I look back......"

Zhu Feng looked aggrieved.

Zhang Zhou didn't bother to comment on this kind of second-hand behavior.

"You take back the two thousand taels, and say whatever you want, the twenty thousand taels are your capital, you don't need to take the capital to make me satisfied."

There are no silver tickets in these years, so there will be no silver money delivered on site.

The banknotes of the Ming Dynasty have long been worthless, and the treasure banknotes have not been seen on the market in the Hongzhi period, all of them are silver and copper coins, and the imperial court purchases and taxes are denominated in silver, and bulk commodities have become the main currency in circulation because of the convenience of silver.

At this time, the silver in South America had not yet flowed into the Ming Dynasty, and the price of silver was still strong, and the imperial court tax involved the silver part, and the net income was less than three million taels a year.

Zhu Feng said: "You helped me so much, and gave you two thousand taels, which is a little heart, and I made a lot of money by selling grain before." ”

Zhang Zhou shook his head: "One yard is one yard, I don't like to take advantage of business partners." ”

"Oh."

Zhu Feng's admiration for Zhang Zhou deepened again.

Zhang Zhou actually wants to say, I don't rarely take advantage of you, other people's advantages should be taken advantage of, and you kid is a long-term deal, and what is the benefit of taking advantage of you?

It's better to settle accounts than anything else.

Otherwise, the two thousand taels will be considered a bribe for you!

"Then turn around, and send the money to your house." Zhu Fengdao.

Zhang Zhou waved his hand and said: "No need, my house is not a warehouse, and it is easy for thieves to worry about piling up so much silver, so I will store it in your hands first." ”

"Huh? You don't want it yet? ”

"yes, there's nowhere to spend it."

Of course, Zhang Zhou can't accept it immediately, firstly, the matter of purchasing wood and stone is not over yet, what if he goes back to the imperial court and settles accounts after the autumn? He still didn't want to have a direct connection with it.

Second, and more importantly, ......

He can't afford to spend that much money right now.

Now he has a lot of belongings in his hands, and after removing the real estate part, he will give it to the emperor, Lao Jiang, Ying Tianfu to purchase medicinal materials, Chengguo Mansion and Zhu Feng in batches...... The discounted value is more than 1,000 taels.

The business he planned belonged to the traverser's habit of making money by making money from small and large, relying on epoch-making products.

"Then I'll go first!"

After the account is clear, Zhang Zhou is about to leave.

"Don't, Brother Zhang, give that second son Lin some face, I have already informed him, it is estimated that he is already on the way here, he is the son of Lin Shilang, and he doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha. Deshengmen is not far from Beiyong. ”

……

……

Zhang Zhou did not intend to stay.

Lin Han seems to be his direct boss, but the problem is that Zhang Zhou didn't plan to go to Guozijian's "class room", so he didn't need to look at anyone's face.

But before he could go downstairs, he was notified that Lin Ting had taken one person downstairs.

"Come up, please."

Zhu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Probably agreed to other people's things and didn't want to break his promise.

When he saw Lin Ting, and then saw the little white face behind Lin Ting, after Zhu Feng went over to say hello, his eyes couldn't take his eyes off the little white face.

The look of infatuation...... Zhang Zhou instantly thought of Duan Yu's deep love for "Miss Wang".

It's just a little weird.

"Brother Zhang, it's been a long time. A few days ago, in the competition outside Beiyong, after you left, there were also people on the spot, but unfortunately whether it was an article or a poem, it was recognized that it was slightly inferior, so you won the competition. ”

Lin Ting seems to have some prejudice against Zhang Zhou, but he seems to be very principled.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Your Excellency is here to inform me of this?" Does it make that big difference who loses and who wins? ”

Lin Ting didn't expect Zhang Zhou to be so "open-minded", and he didn't know how to pick up the stubble.

Zhang Zhou just wanted to talk about the sky to death, so that he could say goodbye.

But the little white face on the side couldn't help but retort: "If you don't win, what are you going to compare?" ”

This opening, from Zhu Feng's ears, is no different.

But for Zhang Zhou, it's a bit exposed.

This voice, although deliberately low, is deliberately very thick.

Zhang Zhou secretly thought, I am also a "master" who has experienced thousands of episodes of women's and men's drama dramas, no matter how good your makeup is, can't you hear that you are a woman?

Of course, there is another explanation - you are a eunuch who has been purified since childhood.

This female classmate, you are very bad!
