In the Qianqing Palace, Dai Yi was summarizing the content of the day's recital.

“…… The telescope built by Mr. Zhang has been sent to Xuanfu, Datong, Yaotou and other places, and the soldiers have used it, and the report is that the judgment of the enemy situation is more effective, and he is full of praise. ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "Use it so quickly? ”

Dai Yi said: "Yes, Your Majesty, after receiving your imperial decree, quickly send twenty-one telescopes to the border pass, but recently it was said that the limelight of the Northwest Tatars has passed, maybe they also know that Wang Junmen has arrived in Xuanfu, so they dare not invade the border again." It's still the battle in Helan Mountain, which is too relieving. ”

"Alas!"

Zhu Youzhu sighed, and seemed to feel a little sorry for the battle of Helan Mountain, "The scale is very large, but the result is not satisfactory." ”

This means that if you can kill hundreds of Tartars, and if you can be a little happy, you can kill forty-two Tartars...... Isn't the numbers a little too shabby?

Dai Yi sighed: "It's a pity that Wang Junmen can't stay in the northwest for too long, otherwise, he will definitely be able to raise the prestige of my Ming army like the Red Salt Pond and Weininghai." However, now the Tatars in the northwest are also frightened when they hear the name of Wang Junmen. The whole army is united. ”

The reason why Zhu Youzhu reactivated Wang Yue was that Wang Yue repeatedly created a strategic miracle after the Ming Dynasty in the Chenghua period, and beheaded Di Yi in the two battles of Hongyanchi and Weininghai.

Wang Yue was still awarded the title of Wei Ningbo at that time, but unfortunately in the last years of Chenghua, he was seized of the title and the official and ended miserably.

Originally, this time the monarch and ministers were single-minded, and they could also help Wang Yue make up for what he had lost...... But if you kill forty people, how can I reward them?

If you can be knighted again if you kill dozens of people, won't there be more things to kill in the northwest in the future?

"Let's stop the telescope." Zhu Youzhu said, "I promised Bingkuan, don't disturb him too much before the exam, every time I find him to enter the palace, I have distracted him, if he fails to pass the Jinshi exam, won't he not be able to fulfill my wish?" ”

"Yes."

Dai Yi heard that now the emperor was bent on giving Zhang Zhou a reasonable reason to become an official, rather than letting Zhang Zhou start as a preacher from a high background.

The stability of the frontier is not as important as this.

"As for Wang Yue, let him stay in Xuanfu for a while, if there is really no movement in Tatar, let him return to Beijing, the burden of the left servant of the military department is also very heavy, and the affairs of the ministry always need someone to take care of it."

Zhu Youzhi made arrangements for Wang Yue's future itinerary.

Dai Yi asked: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent someone here before, saying that she wanted to invite Mr. Zhang to Renshou Palace to talk to her." ”

Zhu Youzhu sighed: "The emperor's grandmother's wish to let me have more children, I know it well, why bother with Bingleni? turned around and let Bingkuan go, but it also showed that Bingkuan would enter the palace as little as possible in the future. If I don't pass the Jinshi exam, who will I use when I arrive? ”

Dai Yi secretly wondered, Zhang Zhouzhong was not a jinshi, did it have any impact on whether His Majesty used him?

It's nothing more than a question of whether it's justified or not, even if it's a jinshi, if you change someone else, you can't just enter the palace to accept the special errand assigned by the emperor.

"The old slave will go back and arrange ......"

……

……

In the main courtyard of the Zhang family's mansion.

Jiang Dezhong was not surprised, and drank high again.

When Jiang Pingyu learned the news and came out to take a look, Jiang Dezhong was already sitting on the ground and talking to his son-in-law.

“…… I'll tell you, I've never been drunk. The old man has drunk countless drinks in his life, and he has always drunk one tank at a time, and the amount of wine is unrivaled in the world! No one beats you, you know? Even if the wine fairy Li Bai comes, he has to bow his head and admit defeat...... Huh? Where did my purse go? Who saw me purse ......"

Looking for a purse, but groping back and forth on the ground.

Jiang Pingyu hurriedly said: "What's wrong with Dad?" ”

Zhang Zhou looked at the wine jar left in front of Jiang Dezhong on the table, and said, "A jar of wine, almost let him drink it." ”

"This ...... Not much. "Jiang Pingyu is very strange.

She is probably clear about her father's amount of alcohol, she can usually drink a large jar, but now this small jar of wine can make him so drunk that he can't find the north?

Zhang Zhou gestured at the wine jar, which was probably less than four catties, which was probably equivalent to the capacity of a two-liter Coke bottle, if it was the Jiang family's wine...... It was more than 20 degrees in the sky, and Jiang Dezhong drank more than three catties, and there was no problem at all.

The key is......

This is the fucking imperial wine, Jiang Dezhong looks down on other people's imperial wine, but the degree is there.

Anyone who drinks three catties and more than fifty degrees will not be able to find the north.

The wine fairy is also in vain.

"Madam, there's no way, this wine is strong, father-in-law may be reunited with me after a long absence, let's be happy to drink." Zhang Zhoudao.

Jiang Pingyu looked at her husband with curiosity in her eyes, as if asking, is there anything wrong with her father's drink?

Zhang Zhou shook his wine jar and said, "I didn't drink much." ”

As he was talking, the subordinates of the Jiang family also came in, and when they saw their master sitting on the ground and enjoying themselves, they hurriedly went up to help.

"Don't help me! I didn't drink much? Can't it be cool here? I'll tell you, no one can drink me......"

As soon as Jiang Dezhong looked up, he saw Zhang Zhou and his wife, and then said nervously, "It's you, what's your name?" But don't tell my son-in-law, my son-in-law is the reincarnation of the wine jar, and he must have been soaked in wine all his life in his previous life. The old man didn't accept anyone...... Wow wow...... The old man actually lost to him...... Also twice ......"

People are already crying.

Still crying.

Jiang Pingyu said in her heart that she would add it again.

"Daddy!" Jiang Pingyu also wanted to go up and help.

Zhang Zhou didn't let Jiang Pingyu go up, the ghost knows what this old drunkard can do when he is drunk, before him Zhang Zhou, no one has really seen how this wine is, and now the old guy can't even recognize his daughter and son-in-law.

Zhang Zhou said to the Jiang family: "Help the person back, go out and call someone to come in to help him, and bring him the wine, let him go back and taste it slowly." Let's see if we can figure out how to make sake. ”

"What a recipe"

Jiang Pingyu was also confused.

"Oh." Only then did Zhang Zhou remember to explain to his wife, "Your father said that this imperial wine is not good, he plans to go back to study and study, and may plan to supply wine to the palace in the future." ”

"This ...... Alas! ”

Jiang Pingyu felt angry and ridiculous when she heard it, and she couldn't cry or laugh.

Jiang Dezhong was carried out by two Jiang family members, and he didn't forget to turn around and make an appointment with his son-in-law as he walked: "...... Who is that, you drink well, next time I will introduce you to my son-in-law, he is in the palace, and he can do things solidly! ”

Zhang Zhou frowned, listen to this, am I a eunuch?

Zhang Zhou sent Jiang Dezhong to the door, and there was a carriage not far away, which belonged to the Chengguo Mansion.

Zhu Feng jumped out of the car, and Zhang Lun also came down like a follower, and they were all curious about what was going on at the door of Zhang's house.

"Hehe, dignitaries, amazing...... Whose house is this? ”

"Master, it's time to go!"

In the end, Jiang Dezhong was almost carried by his subordinates and stuffed into the carriage.

……

……

"Brother Zhang, this is ......"

Zhu Feng was also stunned.

What's the situation? Didn't Brother Zhang just come back not long ago? Why did the Jiang family bring out such a product?

Zhang Zhoudao: "My old Taishan, came to visit me from Nanjing, so I gave him some imperial wine to taste, and that's it." ”

"Imperial wine?" Zhu Feng's lips twitched, "Is there anything else?" ”

Zhang Zhou said coldly: "You just came to me for a drink?" ”

"No, isn't it, you have completed the emperor's mission, and there are still many things waiting for you to deal with." Zhu Feng said with a smile.

Zhang Zhou said curiously: "What else is there to talk about later?" When I was at the gate of the palace before, didn't I say everything? ”

Zhu Feng was stunned, and then thought of the conversation at the gate of the palace......

At the gate of the palace, I want to tell you, you just mentioned to me about giving birth, and asked if there is a woman surnamed Chen.

I don't have a side.

"That's the case, I heard that you have glass over there, and some people want to ask to see if they can make a batch and sell it as an antique treasure or something." Zhu Feng looked forward to it.

It's like panning for gold in the sand, or turning stones into gold.

Ordinary glazed products, although they are not rare in the Ming Dynasty, are mostly used as tribute, especially in good condition, and ordinary people cannot see pure white glaze.

Zhang Zhou shook his head.

He made glass, not as a handicraft, nor to make telescopes, nor to make window glass.

The blue ocean market he wants to do is myopia glasses and reading glasses.

In the Ming Dynasty, myopia and presbyopia are also stubborn diseases that plague readers and the elderly...... Wouldn't it be a direct entry into the high-end market and make a lot of money?

As for when crafts...... You Zhu Ershao can think of it.

Zhang Zhou wanted to say that when that thing is a craft collection, I am afraid that it will not be worth a few dollars, and it may soon be rotten on the street.

"Zhijie, this thing of colored glass, there are things in all parts of the south, you want to be an antique treasure, are you going to bully the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital who don't know how to do it?" Zhang Zhou said, "In this way, I'll give you a few pairs of finished things, put them on the bridge of your nose, and you can go back and find someone to see if anyone is willing to buy them." I call it glasses, which are specifically for short-sightedness, as well as those with dizzy eyes in the elderly. ”

"What?"

Zhu Feng was confused when he heard it.

I'm here to talk to you about antiques, you talk to me about glasses?

Zhang Zhou turned around and walked back between words: "Come back tomorrow, I will give it to you." There's something else going on here, see if you're ......"

"Don't ...... I have another letter here, it's Miss Lin......"

Zhang Zhou was also very curious, Zhu Feng seemed to be very interested in being a "matchmaker", and Miss Lin even became a "pen pal" with him, after writing a letter, he asked him to reply, and then the second letter came again.

This time, it won't be to educate him with great truths, right?

This kind of daughter, the values have not been formed at all, and she is completely living in the worldview shaped by others.

"Zhijie, do you know what eyesight power is? I have been a monk in the palace for so many days, do you think it is easy for me? Walk around...... Take Zhang Lun with you, and when I turn back, I will invite you to drink and drink royal wine! ”

While driving people, Zhang Zhou walked into his yard and did not invite anyone to enter the door after entering.

Then the door closed with a bang.

"Alas!" Zhu Feng sighed there.

Zhang Lun was dumbfounded, one of us is the grandson of the governor of the British Mansion, and the other is the second son of the Chengguo Mansion, and we were locked out of the door like this...... You Zhu Feng don't have a temper at all?

Zhu Feng looked at Zhang Lun on the side, pointed to the gate of Zhang's house and said, "He's just like that, I'm talking about your husband." ”

Zhang Lun solemnly emphasized: "He is not my husband yet. ”

"Humph!"

Zhu Feng said disdainfully, "If you want to worship him, he may not be willing to accept it, what are you doing these days when he is doing it, he is alone in the palace to teach the prince, the kind that teaches day and night." Why did you let you come to worship him? He is not only knowledgeable, but also proficient in heavenly machines and secret methods, and has access to immortals and ghosts. ”

Zhang Lun: "......"

Zhu Feng said: "It's a pity that I'm too old to worship him as a teacher, otherwise this good opportunity will definitely not fall on your head." If you listen to me, be diligent in my work, and I will help you to do good things. ”

Zhang Lun shook his head: "Forget it." I just thank Mr. Zhang for treating my father's illness. ”

"Yes, yes, you have to learn from him when it comes to curing diseases, maybe you will become a generation of miracle doctors......"

Zhang Lun felt even more awkward when he heard it.

You are the second son of the Chengguo Mansion, and you have no right to inherit the title, but I have it, why should I be a miracle doctor? Are you going to be done?

……

……

In the city, Cheng Min's government residence.

On this day, Tang Yin was invited to visit, and Cheng Minzheng took the initiative to call Tang Yin.

This time, Cheng Minzheng was entrusted by his old friend Shen Zhou, and Shen Zhou wanted Cheng Minzheng to enlighten Tang Yin, so that Tang Yin could adopt his heart and prepare for the exam.

“…… Bohu, I heard that you have been writing poems and paintings outside recently, and you are high-profile, why don't you study hard, and strive for a Jinshi exam next year, and then rank in the court class? Not only are you good at poetry and painting, but you are also talented in writing articles, so you shouldn't have distractions at this time! ”

Cheng Minzheng had already met Tang Yin once, and although he also felt that Tang Yin was very wild and uninhibited, he admired Tang Yin's talent and learning.

Cheng Minzheng is knowledgeable.

Tang Yin Jiangnan Township took the second place in the exam, not because his talent was not good, but because Zhang Zhoujian went off the rails and won.

Tang Yin said: "Governing scholars, if you have fetters in your heart and can't do it, why force yourself? ”

"What do you mean, you have to read as you like?" Cheng Minzheng frowned, "I don't support your dealings with that Xu Heng's father." Although he is talented, he is different from you, you should set higher ambitions than him, and you should not be as uninhibited as him. Ishida recently came to me and told me that you have always been worried about the fact that the Jiangnan Township test ranking fell behind Zhang Bingkuan, and you also said that you have to compare with him. But Zhang Bingkuan refused to see you. ”

Tang Yin almost gritted his teeth and said: "A person who sells fame and reputation." ”

"This person dares to stand out, dares to be known to the world, but can also hide himself before the exam, he knows what the priority is. Have you ever thought that even if you let you see him and compare him, what is the point of you being inferior to him in the back and palace test? ”

Of course, Cheng Minzheng can't tell Tang Yin, in fact, Zhang Zhou's identity is far from being as simple as a person or a tribute.

You Tang Yin really can't compare, and you're not qualified to compare.

The only thing you can do is to get a jinshi.

It's not important to you to make a name for yourself, it's important that you take responsibility for your own life.

"Bohu, the old man has seen so many talents in his life, and the old man has never seen a higher literary talent than you, don't delay your life because of a momentary mood!"
