"Zhou Changshi, please."

The eldest lord Jia Yu stretched out his hand to lead him, and a person next to him smiled and bowed his head, and then walked side by side with the eldest lord Jia Yu.

The man was wearing a black gauze head, a green official robe with a cross-collar and wide sleeves, and his face was more than forty people, it was Shi Zhou'an, the head of the Zhongshun Palace. (Note 1)

Jia Yu walked forward, bypassed his study, entered the passage from the corner door, and bypassed Mengpo Zhai, and could see the small courtyard in the northeast from a distance.

Jia Yu wondered in his heart, and only then did the disciple come to report, saying that Shi Zhou'an, the head of the Zhongshun Palace, had handed over the door sticker and was going to visit immediately. The Jia family has nothing to do with the Zhongshun Palace, why did the prince come to the door now?

Going further, when the old man was alive, the Jia family supported the abolition of the prince, and they did not deal with the king of Zhongshun.

If the old man is alive, Jia Yu naturally doesn't care, then the chief of the palace is just a five-grade official, and he Jia Yu is a super general. Now it is different from the past, the chief of the palace is not big, but what he can represent is the face of the loyal king. Jia Yu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent his friends to invite him to the study, and served fragrant tea before talking to Zhou An.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Zhou An turned to say that this time he was actually visiting Li Weijian, and he said some apologies without saying anything.

That Li Weijian is just a relative who lives in Jia's house and turns a corner, and he is only a show talent in terms of fame, but I heard that this person is very good at drilling camps, and after more than ten days in Beijing, he got the blue eyes of Da Sikong and Shao Si Kou, how can he climb the high branches of Zhongshun Wangfu again?

While walking, Jia Yu pondered for a long time and didn't understand the internal reason, and asked Zhou An, but the other party would only laugh haha. He made up his mind, and he would always be with him later, and listen to why Zhou An came to Li Weijian.

In a flash, the small courtyard in the northeast is close in front of you.

Jia Yu smiled and raised his hand and pointed: "Long history, please look, Li Weijian lives here." ”

Zhou Anfu looked at it, and praised with a smile: "It's quiet." ”

Jia Yu was about to send the little servant to call the door, when he heard Zhou An arch his hand and smiled: "Thank you General Jia for leading the way, the lower official is on the order of the prince, and there are some private matters to talk to Li Xiucai." This...... It is inconvenient to disclose inside, so I also asked General Jia to stay. ”

"Ah...... Oh. Jia Yu smashed his mouth, and his heart became more and more itchy.

Unexpectedly, everyone said this, and his eldest lord Jia Yu didn't want to follow up. After thinking about it, it was a big deal to turn around and mention that Li Weijian came to the front and asked. So he smiled and arched his hand and said: "In this case, then Zhou Changshi please take care of yourself, and I will be out of company." ”

"I'm really tired of General Jia, and I will make amends for my sins with wine on the next day. General Jia walked slowly. ”

The eldest lord Jia Yu left two little servants to guard the left side, so that Zhou An could lead the way when he went out, so he hesitated and turned around step by step.

Changshi Zhou An stopped in front of the door and briefly went through the past in his mind.

King Zhongshun was originally only one step away from Dabao, but at the last moment, he fell short, and let Jinshang enter the Daming Palace and seize the throne!

Because the reputation of killing his father and killing his brother is really not good, and he is not in the right position today, so he is serving Taishang on the one hand and treating his brother well on the other. is that the abolished prince is only imprisoned, and he has not pursued the past.

The big thing has been decided, and the king of Zhongshun knows that he has no skills to return to heaven, and he thinks about it now, so he simply indulges in more and more lust.

The more greedy the prince, the more lustful, and the more perverted the law, the more stinking this reputation becomes, and the more it sets off the current position is what everyone expects.

In order to make money, the pawn shops in the palace were opened all over the country, and the Jinling branch was naturally indispensable.

I don't want to, it's this Jinling semicolon that gave the prince a surprise.

The semicolon hired Wu Haiping, who came to Beijing with the debt show more than ten days ago. A few days ago, a report suddenly came, and Li Xiucai's hands and eyes were all over the sky, and he was not low!

His eldest uncle was the former resignation and return to his hometown of the son of the country to supervise the wine Li Shouzhong, his sister married into the Rongguo Mansion, his head is bright, and his practical attainments are very profound.

Such a character will rise to prominence in the future. Then Wu Haiping said what Li Weijian wanted, and Zhou An had the intention of making friends, so he came forward to handle it properly.

It was nothing more than coercion and temptation, two hundred taels of silver for a board, and the Ding brothers had no way to accept it, and they came out the next day.

Later, Wu Haiping was instructed to inquire about Che Qinghe, a wealthy businessman in the Shanxi Guild Hall.

It was still received by Zhou An, he was a little tired in his heart, but he still pinched his nose and inquired about the news.

Then the day before yesterday, Wu Haiping met Zhou An for the third time, he was extremely tired in his heart, thinking that he was just a showman, if he bothered him again, he would have to give Li Weijian a good look.

Unexpectedly, this time Wu Haiping actually said a great news!

Then Li Weijian didn't know what to do, so he forced out a sweet well! And according to what Wu Haiping said, this time it is not shit luck, then Li Xiu can make a mouthful, and he can make countless shots.

Zhou An was slightly distracted when he heard this...... It is not easy to live in Beijing, and this draft is particularly difficult.

There are thousands of wells in Beijing, except for a small number of sweet wells, the slightly astringent and bitter water is very precious. If Li Weijian really has the ability to dig a sweet water well, wouldn't he have made a fortune?

Needless to say, just digging a few sweet wells to sell is a good deal. Compared with the mere three thousand taels of silver, this method of digging a sweet water well can be described as hard to find.

Zhou An didn't dare to slack off, sent Wu Haiping away, and turned around to report the matter to King Zhongshun. The prince was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Zhou An to deal with the matter, regardless of the fee, as long as he asked for that method.

However, Li Weijian was sick at this moment. Zhou An waited for a day, for fear that something would change later-there were few fools in the Jingshi, and he was afraid that if this matter spread, all the princes and nobles would rush up. When the time comes, not to mention the expense, it may not be able to hold the method of drilling wells in your hands.

So, this is why he took the liberty to visit.

The previous situation was slightly sorted out, Zhou An slightly sorted out his robe, and walked to the door.

The gate of the small courtyard was open, and after hearing the message, there was already a pretty maid waiting in front of the door. When Zhou An arrived at the door, the maid hurriedly blessed and said, "But Zhou Changshi is in person?" ”

"It's the official."

The maid was clever and said: "My frugal fourth master is infected with the cold, and he really can't get up this time, so I ask Zhou Changshi to forgive me." ”

"This official has already heard about it, so it doesn't matter."

"Then please come with me."

Zhou An bowed his head, followed behind Hongyu in four square steps, and entered the main room in a short time.

As soon as I entered, I smelled the smell of medicinal soup in the room, bypassed the screen to the warm pavilion, and saw a person sitting on the bed, his face was slightly pale, and he smiled and said to this side of the room: "Zhou Changshi, forgive me, I was infected with the wind chill below, and I was not good for a while." ”

"Li Xiucai doesn't want to be polite, speaking of which, we are also old customers."

The maid moved to embroider the pier, and when Zhou An sat down, she hurriedly served the fragrant tea, and then retreated far away.

After a little greeting about his illness, Zhou An changed his words and got down to business.

"Li Xiucai—"

"The student was resurrected. Changshi doesn't dislike it, just call me the table. ”

"Well, resurrection, what is the matter of this official, I have already expected it to come back to life."

Li Weijian smiled and bowed his head, listening to him say the following.

Zhou An said: "This matter has already been made clear to the prince, and the prince heard that there is such a wonderful method for resurrection, and he praised it very much in person." Resurrection has this ability, and the future in the future is limitless. ”

"Haha, the prince praised it falsely."

"Well, then again, the prince is ...... this method It's a must-win. Zhou An leaned forward and said in a low voice: "The debt of resurrection is forgiven." Not only that, but the prince is willing to give this number. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Anbi drew five fingers.

Li Weijian nodded when he saw this, and said, "Fifty thousand taels, the price is not low." ”

Zhou An looked stunned, and hurriedly said: "Don't make a fuss about resurrection, it's five thousand taels!" 50,000 taels ...... Tsk, you say that your method is an elixir? ”

"It's only five thousand taels......" Although Li Weijian was smiling, he was extremely dissatisfied with this little money.

"Counting the debt, it's eight thousand taels...... In this way, if the resurrection is too little, the official will call the shots, and add another 2,000 taels to you, making up 10,000 taels - this is a lot. ”

Li Weijian smiled and bowed: "It's not less, the prince is really arrogant." It's just a pity that this method has already been made in the following and sent to the imperial case. ”

Zhou An smiled on his face, and suddenly became gloomy: "Li Xiucai is playing his own official?" Don't forget your previous two requests, if this matter is publicized, what do you think will happen to you? ”

Li Weijian smiled undiminishedly, and said: "Zhou Chang is not in a hurry, why don't you say a message below, in exchange for debt forgiveness, and add two thousand taels of silver?" ”

Zhou Changshi was silent, and looked Li Weijian up and down with a pair of eyes, trying to see through the person in front of him. However, after looking at it for a long time, Li Weijian had no smile on his face except for the slightest emotion, and there was no more to him.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, let's talk about it, whether it's worth the price or not, the official must report to the prince to decide." ”

Li Weijian lowered his voice and said: "As a guarantee, this matter is definitely worth the money." Please also come over with your ears. ”

Zhou An moved the embroidery pier, leaned forward, and listened to Li Weijian whisper for a while. But seeing that Zhou An's face was cold at first, then suspicious, then surprised, and finally became suspicious again.

After Li Weijian said that, he slowly straightened his body, and thought about it for a long time before saying, "This matter ...... The official can't be the master. ”

Li Weijian said: "Changshi must be reported to the prince as soon as possible, there are some things...... One step late is one step late. ”

"This official can save it." Frowning tightly, Zhou An stood up and said, "In this way, wait until the official understands the prince first." ”

"It's okay, Hongyu, send the history of the perimeter on my behalf."

The red jade outside responded, and hurriedly went to the door of the warm pavilion and gave a salute: "Zhou Changshi, please." ”

Zhou An walked out of the warm pavilion with Hongyu, he twisted his brows and thought in his heart what Li Weijian said, his eyes glanced at random, and then he caught a glimpse of a person sitting bored in the study.

Hey? How could this man be so kind? He was thinking about it, when he saw the person in the study looking up at the future, the two of them looked at each other, Zhou An secretly gasped, and said in his heart: Why did Yan Xiyao's baby son come to Li Weijian?

After thinking about it again, the sweet water well was dug out at Yan Xiyao's house, could it be that Yan Xiyao's old fox was also eyeing this matter? Yes, Wu Haiping said before that Li Weijian and Yan Fengzhen have a bad relationship. Regardless of whether what Li Weijian said was true or not, just because Yan Xiyao was taking care of him, the prince would not be able to move Li Weijian.

In this case, it is better to make friends with Li Xiucai first, and then deal with them in the future.

Zhou An's footsteps hesitated slightly, suddenly turned around, and walked quickly back to the head of the warm pavilion.

Li Weijian had already laid down again, and when he saw his return, he hurriedly stood up again, and said, "Zhou Changshi? ”

saw a smile on Zhou An's face, and said: "No matter what, if you have such a thing to do in resurrection, the account will be settled sooner or later." As he spoke, he took out a deed from his sleeve and handed it over: "The prince of my family is also generous, and this time he is sincere and sincere in making friends with resurrection." Let's return this deed to the resurrection, so as not to think that the prince of my family is bullying people in the future. ”

Li Weijian didn't know what Zhou Anxin was thinking, but he also knew that the reputation of Zhongshun Wang Feng was extremely bad over the years. But there is a way to reach out and not hit the smiling person, since the other party has good intentions, it is always not good to give people a cold face. A look of surprise appeared on his face: "This ...... In the next moment—"

"Huh? This official has just said it, and I believe that it can be resurrected. It would not be good to resurrect and then resign. ”

"Haha, since that's the case, then I'll take it first. Zhou Changshi rest assured, what he said below is false, and I will repay this debt. ”

"Okay, the resurrection is fast, then the official will return first. When the prince is clear, he will make plans. ”

Li Weijian smiled and gave up his hand, watching Zhou Changshi walk away quickly.

Don't allow him to think about it, Zhou An just walked on the front foot, and Yan Fengzhen on the back foot rushed in.

He didn't see anything outside, and went straight to the embroidery pier and sat down, twisting his brows and saying: "I just listened to it, how can I come back to life as if I owe the money of the Zhongshun Palace?" It doesn't matter, right? ”

Li Weijian picked up the IOU with a smile, flicked his fingers, and said, "Important? This IOU is back, what else does it matter? ”

Yan Fengzhenhu said suspiciously: "What benefits did you just promise others?" You can't just return the IOU for no reason, right? ”

"Shanren has his own clever plan," after a pause, Li Weijian said: "Brother Jingwen went back to Ming Shao Si Kou, there is a big deal with a million profits, seeing that Shao Si Kou is friendly with those rich businessmen, you might as well spread this matter first." ”

Yan Fengzhen blinked and said disdainfully: "It's just a well, what kind of profit is it?" Even if the price is 1,000 taels, there are only more than 100 families that this Jingshi can afford, and it is still a one-shot deal......"

Li Weijian smiled and said: "Drilling a well is naturally a hammer deal, but if you dig a well and sell water on the ground, isn't it a million profits?" If Brother Jingwen has leisure tomorrow, he can go with me to see King Zhongyong, and then he will know what is going on. ”

Where is Yan Fengzhen willing to believe? Bisheng was whetted by Li Weijian again, and asked what kind of business it was. However, no matter how Yan Fengzhen provoked, Li Weijian just smiled and didn't speak, which made Yan Fengzhen angry.

Approaching noon, Yan Fengzhen left in a hurry. Li Weijian lay on the bed arbitrarily, a smile on the corner of his mouth. After all these years of planning, it has finally come to fruition.

Note 1: Zhou An, the second character, the original book did not mention the name.
