Zhang Shou asked Ah Liu to bring food in, but left it with Qi Liang. As for himself, of course he would never feel wronged.

Now that there were so many Guijie disciples studying, he specially built a bamboo house in Cuiyun Room as a small kitchen. Among the followers brought by Guijie disciples from each family, in order to satisfy the master's appetite, all of them had one who could work part-time.

As a good cook, one of the most common things he does every day is to serve all kinds of delicious dishes in front of him and Zhu Ying.

It is fake to please him, the gentleman, but it is true to please Zhu Ying, the eldest lady of Zhao Guogong's house.

In the evening of that day, Qi Liang quietly returned home with an empty food box, while in the Pavilion, Zhan Jin smiled as usual and carried a three-layer large food box to Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying.

"The cook who delivered the meal today had a bruised nose and face. He seemed to have had a fight with someone just to deliver the meal. He quietly handed me a jade pendant and begged me to tell my husband that my young master would be here soon."

When Zhang Shou saw that Liu Yin who had followed him was busy putting the dishes in the food box on the small square table, he smiled and asked, "Who is the young master he is talking about?"

Zhan Jin suddenly chuckled: "There are so many cooks. If he came here as he is, I would still remember him, but he has been beaten into a pig's head. How can I recognize him? Since I can't recognize him, I naturally don't know him."

Who is the young master!"

"You actually picked up a jade pendant for nothing!" Zhu Ying couldn't help laughing so hard, "You're such a bad girl!"

"Miss, it's just a worthless thing. You can probably buy two of them for one tael of silver!" Zhan Jin said, spreading his palms in front of Zhang Shou, and then said with disgust on his face, "Sir, look at the quality of it!

"

Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh when he saw the two maids laughing and joking and not forgetting to take him with them. However, Liuyin drove Zhan Jin away with an angry smile and sent a small plate to him. It was exactly what he had done so many times before.

The chopsticks were full of braised pig's trotters, so he could only quickly raise his hands to indicate that he didn't need to serve.

After he finished the meal as quickly as possible without squinting, he was thinking about how to hint Zhu Ying and the three of them to go back.

But before he could speak, Zhu Ying stood up and smiled proudly at him: "They came to me before, but if they secretly come to ask you for advice and I catch you, then it's not the loss of face, but the loss of dignity.

One piece is gone too! I will tell Zhu Hong or Zhu Yu to turn around and quietly guard the area just in case, and now I will go back with Zhan Jin and Liu Yin!"

"Wait until tomorrow and I'll ask you what good ideas you gave people!"

Seeing the eldest lady leaving immediately, Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will use your tiger skin as a banner?"

"That's okay!" Zhu Ying smiled with crooked eyebrows and didn't take it seriously, "Originally I used your name to bring people here, and now you use my name to deal with them, then I can finally

Didn't cause any trouble."

Seeing that Zhan Jin and Liu Yin had also packed their food boxes and were preparing to follow Zhu Ying, the three masters and maidservants were not sloppy at all. Zhang Shou felt that their free and easy temper was really to his liking, but then he smiled to himself.

Today he said that others had nothing, but he was actually talking about himself, but the eldest lady didn't seem to hear it at all!

Not long after Zhu Ying left, after finishing her meal, Zhang Shou, who was slowly walking around the room to eat, heard a rustling sound coming from outside, followed by a very light voice.

sound.

"Old sir, can I come in?"

It was not Lu Sanlang, and certainly not Zhang Chen, who was blessed by nature. He remembered that the voice was Zhang Chen's follower, Zhang Wu, the fifth son of Zhang Hanzhou, the Marquis of Nanyang!

"Come in!" The next moment, Zhang Shou saw Zhang Wu rushing into the house quickly.

After scanning around, he seemed to find that the large bamboo house was in full view. As expected, Zhu Ying and the others were nowhere to be seen. Zhang Wu immediately knelt down and said straight to the point: "Sir, I'm here to ask for advice."

Seeing that Zhang Shou was not surprised, Zhang Wu suppressed his uneasiness and whispered: "I am the fifth in the family and a concubine. My mother died young and my father treated me as nothing but a dispensable person. I can hardly talk about my future. The reason why I

I followed Zhang Chen in the hope that he would help me get a good relationship. But my husband’s words woke me up from my dream. I have already woken up. How can a good relationship help me?”

He paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and said: "I am not good at literature or martial arts. I have wasted sixteen years. I don't know what I can do in the future, let alone where I will go. Please teach me, sir!"

"

When Zhang Shou saw the person finish speaking, he immediately lowered his head, as if he was planning to knock his head to the ground with a loud bang, so he slapped his hand on the armrest without hesitation: "Sit up straight!"

Zhang Wu subconsciously stirred up and sat up straight, and then he saw Zhang Shou taking off his hat and veil. When he saw that young face that was unworldly, he felt that his head went completely blank for a moment.

Not an old gentleman?

"If you want to do something, you must first straighten the backbone in your heart! There are so many high-ranking officials in the court, are all of them from noble backgrounds? No, many people were poorer and more miserable than you when they were young.

You are more downcast and more embarrassed than you!"

He poured down the chicken soup with just a few words. Before Zhang Wu could react, Zhang Shou said word by word: "You chose to follow Zhang Chen in the past, undoubtedly hoping to be supported by noble people. But he stayed to study and never forget to teach you.

To be married together shows that at least he has you in his heart. However, he has not yet planned for the future, and the most he can give you is a pretty good marriage."

"But what kind of marriage is good, and what kind of marriage is really suitable for you? Are there too many in-laws who undermine each other? You should know the virtues of those famous families in the capital. It is easy to give up a daughter, let alone give up.

son in law!"

"What you need is not an in-law, but a noble person who is willing to support you and help you. Such a noble person is more reliable than a marriage. And such a noble person requires you to show all your abilities in front of him! Think about it for yourself

When you think about it, do you really have nothing? You have the courage and courage to be the first to come here. This alone is better than others!"

Zhang Wu suddenly forgot Zhang Shou's age and identity. He was completely immersed in Zhang Shou's words, and then subconsciously asked: "May I ask, sir, where does such a noble person come from?"

"Far away, yet so close!"

Seeing Zhang Wu's eyes widening, as if he was wondering who Zhang Shou was, Zhang Shou smiled slightly.

"You have appeared in front of the eldest lady so many times. Do you think she is not a noble person? She is of noble birth, has an upright character, and dares to do things. She comes and goes from the palace as if entering the family, and has a wide circle of friends. In the past, it was just because she had her father and brother in front of her.

, so others can only see her arrogance and willfulness, but not her advantages. But you should be able to!"

Until he left Shuibo Bu Xing Pavilion after talking to Zhang Shou for a long time, Zhang Wu was still a little confused. But as the cool night breeze blew against his face, he suddenly woke up. He felt that the words were still in his ears, and his whole body was excited.

Very.

On Zhu Ying's side? Nonsense, he didn't think that the gossip outside would affect Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing, otherwise why would he follow Zhang Chen here? Compared to his father who didn't take him seriously at all, the Zhu family

This backing is too strong!

Zhu Ying was the daughter of the Duke of Zhao. Although they usually chased her, they couldn't reach her. Why didn't they agree now?

As for the old gentleman who is actually too young and handsome... he must be Zhao Guogong's confidant who is secretly assisting Zhu Ying!

Zhang Wu raised his head, and then there was an endless stream of visitors in the Shuibo Bu Xing Pavilion. Each visitor asked his confidants to stay outside, and quietly went in to ask for advice on the future. When he came out, he was either worried, lost, or smiling.

Or in high spirits.

Therefore, those who observed secretly and were still hesitating whether to seek advice from the old gentleman gradually joined the ranks.

However, everyone carefully staggered away from the one before them, which made it difficult for the followers who were looking for the wind. They had to see the right moment to clear the way for their master and grab a passable position, and then they could send the person into the water.

Not building a museum.

When the sky gradually turned white, Zhang Shou, who had barely slept a wink all night, was working as a confidant. He looked tiredly at Zhang Chen, who was so proud and the last one to leave, and then he hurriedly hit him several times.

Yawn.

The visitors throughout the night were divided into three categories.

The first category is Zhang Wu, who is from a low background, ignored by his family, and feels hesitant and confused about the future. At the same time, he is willing to give it a try and has a certain awareness and ability. He showed his true colors and recruited Zhu Ying. In this way

As long as a human being is given some guidance, support and opportunities, he or she will most likely be able to stand alone in the future without wasting resources.

The second type is Zhang Chen, who is arrogant and arrogant, but has high ambitions and low abilities. He feeds people a lot of secrets of officialdom and chicken soup for the soul, makes some inscrutable calculations, and then sends people away.

Of course, among the disciples of Guijie who came here after Zhu Ying, there were relatively few of them, including Zhang Chen, there were only two in total.

The third category is Lu Sanlang, who firmly believes that what he is born with will be useful, and indeed has some talents and talents. He also recruited such people on behalf of Zhu Ying, but his true appearance is not considered, and people who are too smart are not so good.

Shock and deception.

Stretching a lot, Zhang Shou looked up at the roof, and suddenly asked without thinking: "I remember that the eldest lady said before she left that she would send someone over just in case. There are still people on the roof or outside.

Is anyone here?"

After a long while, he heard Zhu Hong's familiar hesitant voice: "Is there something wrong, Mr. Shou?"

Zhang Shou chuckled and said nonchalantly: "I'm fine here. You go back and tell the eldest lady what you saw and heard tonight. Just say, I will kill first and then I will recruit a lot of people for her. If she
