Before Master Bi, who was beating Mr. Huang desperately, could react, he was dragged up, followed by a ball of walnuts stuffed into his mouth, and then tied into a rice dumpling. Mr. Huang on the ground

He was panting like a dead dog. When he was picked up by someone, even though he was gagged and tied up neatly, he didn't even put up a symbolic struggle.

Zhang Shou watched the two people being dragged away one after another. Just when he was about to speak, he heard Zhu Tingfang say: "I was planning to catch this smart guy back, but I didn't expect you to beat me to it. I heard that you were still in public.

Are you trying to trick someone out to find out how much money he has with him? You can kill people without blood!"

"Who made him want to get back the lost face after he offended Yingying and jump up and down in Cangzhou City?" Zhang Shou laughed and casually told Master Bi and Hua what little Peanut heard in Hua's Silk Shop.

The shopkeeper roughly recounted the conversation. As for whether the two people's recounting of what happened would be completely distorted, he was naturally not worried. Zhu Tingfang still had some ability to judge.

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then said nonchalantly: "However, today's coincidence was a bit too much. Not only did I bump into these two people, but they were also taken to the county government office, and they couldn't get away from me."

It’s really strange to have a relationship.”

"In the previous case, shopkeeper Nahua took the initiative to send someone to see me to report. You happened to say you were going to go today, so I said something to him, so you bumped into it by chance."

Zhu Tingfang readily told the origin of the first coincidence, and then he laughed and said, "As for you bumping into this prefect, it's because you have a high chance of getting into trouble when you go out. I heard that you were in Paradise last time.

Did you see him smashing cups on the street?"

Zhang Shou didn't expect that his uncle would make such a joke in the future, so he immediately retorted: "The last time I bumped into him, I have to ask Cao Wu, the one you recommended to me as my guide."

"This guy is interesting. He was recommended to me by Yingying. He also has some influence on many escort agencies and martial arts schools. Of course I want to use it. He brought you to see Huang Wei, most likely just for the sake of it.

I remind you that there is such a person making trouble. Of course, even without him, those two idiots are jumping up and down so blatantly, do they think I am blind and deaf?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Tingfang said calmly: "Next, the two of them will be locked up in a prison cell, and they will be allowed to go dog-eat-dog! After being locked up for two days, I will send them directly to the capital in a rickshaw, so that they can

The magistrate of Hejian goes to the capital to file a complaint!"

The uncle is really ruthless! Zhang Shou muttered in his heart again, but since Zhu Tingfang didn't ask how the conversation with shopkeeper Hua went, he was happy to hold off for now. After all, although the businessman from Luzhou said he was taking over everything,

But he has not agreed yet, and there is no follow-up discussion, just like the progress he made with Shopkeeper Hua today.

When the DPRK and China have not yet reached an agreement on this matter, of course he cannot speak too satisfactorily to others. Of course, whether these people will work hard in the DPRK after knowing this is another question.

When he came out of the lobby, he saw Ah Liu talking to little Peanut at the bottom of the steps. The little guy had obviously just come back and was wiping sweat with his sleeves due to the heat, but it seemed that he only woke up after wiping and wiping the sweat on his sleeves.

The clothes were made of silk, which was a waste of good clothes, and the person's movements suddenly became stiff. Especially when she saw him coming down the steps, Little Peanut's face turned red with embarrassment.

"What are you talking about under the sun on a hot day? Let's go back to the room first. Look at you two, your faces are all red!"

When Little Peanut saw that Zhang Shou did not scold him for wasting things, but only said that it was a hot day, he burst into tears of gratitude. After seeing Ah Liu following him, he quickly chased after him. As for when he came back today, he almost got hit by a horse halfway because of his stiff movements.

When someone fell down, he originally wanted to hide it, but he still hesitated to tell it.

"You didn't hurt anyone, and you weren't hurt yourself either?" Zhang Shou asked, and when Little Peanut nodded repeatedly, he smiled and said, "That's fine, it's not a big deal. From now on, I'll let you ride that horse for the time being, remember it's okay

I ride it near the county government office for practice. It is a very docile horse, and it will be fine once you get used to riding it."

When he learned that the horse was his for the time being, Little Peanut was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him again and again. Finally, he still remembered his business, and he was afraid that the guards and petty officials might hear what he said on the road.

I endured it until I entered the room, and then I couldn't wait to say: "The price of that Songjiang cloth shop is too expensive, no wonder the business is not good at all."

"Oh?" Zhang Shou was a little surprised, "What's wrong?"

"I was wearing silk clothes and riding a big horse to the door. As soon as I stopped in front of the door, the waiters and shopkeepers immediately surrounded me. They were very attentive and polite!" Little Peanut said vividly, "I thought at first that people knew that I followed you from silk to silk.

I came out of the store, but later I discovered that there were many people coming and going in front of the store, but no one came in to look at the cloth! The shopkeepers all complained that business was not good."

He paused for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then continued: "They said that to open a shop on Jile Street, it would cost dozens of guan a month to rent the shop. Moreover, their shop is large, they have many people, and their expenses are high.

It’s huge, but the cotton cloth is shipped from Songjiang Prefecture, which means that only rich people can afford it when they are making underwear, and they can’t sell dozens of pieces a month.”

"So, we can't make ends meet, and if we continue like this, we will close down shop. The two boys are both hired locally, and they frown when they think about losing their jobs. The shopkeeper also said that he might have to pack up and go back to his hometown in Songjiang.

By the way, I asked about the price of the cloth, and I was told that their best standard cloth is produced in Sanlintang, Songjiang Prefecture. The top quality of the top quality costs a consistent price per piece."

Xiaohuatou's whole face was about to twitch, and he complained forgetfully: "This is cotton, not silk. How dare they sell it so expensively? Why don't they just steal the money!"

Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile at Little Peanut's indignant tone, and then he said earnestly: "There is a thing in this world, which is called high quality and high price... To put it more simply, you get what you pay for.

!”

"I think it's better to slaughter the fattened sheep!" In Little Peanut's simple understanding, cotton should be cheaper than silk - but he didn't know that going forward a few hundred years, the scarce cotton was once available.

When it was very expensive, he carefully explained the prices and sales volume of other cloths, and finally patted his forehead and said, "By the way, I met someone when I came back."

"That's Mr. Cao from the Shunhe Escort Bureau. He asked me to bring you a good one. He also said that the cloth shop from Songjiang was of high quality and not very good. He just bought a piece of cloth at a high price.

If it weren't for the shame of retreating, he would have fallen directly on someone's face... He also said that the shopkeeper of the cloth shop also secretly met the young master of the Hejian magistrate, because the magistrate was his big customer."

When Zhang Shou heard this, his heart suddenly opened up. There is no doubt that no matter whether Cao Wu passed this news to him because of the scene at the canal dock, no one leaked the conversation between him and Ah Liuna, otherwise they would not deliberately

Making a chance encounter with Little Peanut.

As for the Songjiang Cloth Store...anyway, he didn't want to buy cloth, but to see how Songjiang cloth compared with Beibei. As a result, the Songjiang Cloth Store obviously didn't sell ordinary cloth, or the shopkeeper didn't want to

Let others think they are selling ordinary goods. Otherwise, they will not offer a consistent price.

"Very good, you've asked everything you need to know."

Zhang Shou smiled and touched Little Peanut's head, and then asked: "If you miss your uncle, go back and see him. By the way, ask him for me, are there any more chili peppers? I want the small and spicy ones."

If there are any sharp ones, bring them here with you!"

"Ten or eight pounds...why didn't he grab it?"

When Little Peanut arrived at Lao Xianyu's shop on Shuishi Street and told Zhang Shou's exact words to Lao Xianyu, the latter immediately became furious. However, Little Peanut refused to comply and began to complain with a dark face.

"Uncle, you have been growing those things for many years, but you have never sold them. Usually you don't eat them yourself. Now that Dr. Zhang wants it, you give it to him. Isn't that a favor? Besides, he didn't let me come empty-handed.

"

As he spoke, Little Peanut opened an oil paper bag on the table, and it turned out to be a lump of mud-like stuff. However, the old salted fish who had tasted it once recognized it at a glance. It was specially prepared for him by Zhang Shou.

Zhu Ying ate Beggar's Chicken. Thinking of the tender and plump taste, he immediately felt saliva filling his mouth and his stomach couldn't help but growl.

Little Peanut then opened another single-layer small round food box. In a five-inch small porcelain plate, there were stacks of crystal clear pastries, with a layer of yellow osmanthus sprinkled on top.

"This is the secret sugar-osmanthus made by Zhao Guogong's mansion. Dr. Zhang had people make pulled cakes. After it cooled down, he sprinkled sugar-osmanthus on it. It was so delicious that you couldn't even buy it outside! Dr. Zhang said, if there are peanuts,

It’s best to send some away. He asked someone to make peanut cakes for me to eat. The peanuts are crushed and can also be used to make glutinous rice balls. He has already taught the cook the Kung Pao chicken..."

Seeing that Little Peanut couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva as he spoke, Old Xianyu immediately couldn't laugh or cry.

What does this mean? Following Zhang Shou, a top foodie, Little Peanut has also become a foodie? He specially changed the name of this kid to Little Peanut. Is this a true prophecy?

But the problem is, ten to eight pounds of peppers, small and sharp, plus dried ones... he doesn’t have that many!

Although he didn't have it, he ate the beggar's chicken and the sweet-scented osmanthus pulled cake. While feeling thirsty and thirsty, Lao Xianyu had to fulfill Zhang Shou's instructions. In desperation, he could only give the little monk Guantao

He was sent back to Zanghai Lower Court to find someone to ask for support. Regarding the result, Little Peanut expressed that he couldn't be more satisfied.

However, Zhang Shou's memorial and the tablet fragments and rubbings he sent to the court were delayed for several days because the fragments were too heavy. It was only on the seventh day after Zhu Ying arrived in the capital that he and Zhu Tingfang arrived in the evening.

After sending the memorial for four days, we arrived in the capital together.

At the same time, Zhang Shou sent to the Zhu family of Duke Zhao's mansion twenty guan to make up for his future uncle Zhu Tingfang, who finally became the two pieces of silk and satin he bought. He did not write a letter, and neither did Zhu Tingfang, so he deliberately spent time day and night

The Zhu family guard who hired a car to deliver the goods at the same time, so that the carriage and horse fees were even higher, could not explain the reason why he sent the silk and satin from hundreds of miles away.

Even so, when Zhu Ying saw the material with flying butterflies, she immediately said with a smile: "This pattern is just right for making a skirt! My mother and I made a pleated skirt. Going out like this doesn't look like a mother and daughter, but instead

Like sisters!"

Jiuniang was dumbfounded: "Yingying, you are too childish. How old am I..."

"How old are you? Mom, you are only in your early thirties, you are still young!" Zhu Ying would not say such heart-wrenching words that you are not old at all. She grabbed Jiuniang's arm and said, "And look at this colorful butterfly.

The color is so beautiful... Besides, Ah Shou is so happy with it!"

Jiuniang suddenly burst into laughter. Nowadays, in her thirties, in some families where children get married early, she can be a grandmother. In their family, this is because the eldest Zhu Tingfang has many misfortunes in her marriage, and the second child Zhu Tingjie is too young to be married.

If you are promising, the marriage must be high or low, otherwise, even if Zhu Ying is not married yet, she will already be a grandmother even if she is in the temple!

However, since Zhu Ying insisted that this was Zhang Shou's wish, she agreed without hesitation. Seeing Zhu Ying holding another piece of sapphire blue silk, frowning worriedly, she saw Mrs. Tai smiling slightly.

, you know that people must have guessed what Zhu Ying is struggling with.

Aren't you just thinking about how to divide a piece of cloth between your grandmother and your future mother-in-law? The same goes for Zhang Shou. If all the things are sent to Zhao Guogong's house, wouldn't it be fine if he sends another piece to Zhang Yuan?

"Yingying, please send it to Zhang Yuan in person to Mrs. Wu." Mrs. Tai took the initiative to speak. Seeing that Zhu Ying suddenly became a little embarrassed, she smiled and said, "Neither Ah Shou nor your eldest brother came back with a message. Obviously, this is not so much.

It's something I bought on purpose, rather than just buying it casually and not taking it seriously. Otherwise, if I really wanted to give a gift, I wouldn't even have a gift note or a message."

Zhu Ying's face immediately relaxed after being told by the Madam, and she immediately agreed. When she went out happily, the Madam said in a deep voice: "The quarrel between the court and the court has not been resolved yet?"

"How could the quarrel be over so quickly? Besides, people who complained about the eldest prince came one after another, not to mention that some people implicitly accused the queen of murdering the traitorous concubine, so she had to be trapped in the palace. Don't even look at the traitorous concubine they mentioned.

If you don’t have a son, how can you have the time to get involved in the drama of seizing the legitimate heir?" Jiuniang shook her head, then smiled and said, "Even Yongping has woken up this time."

Although Zhu Ying knew about the dispute between the imperial court and Jiuniang, she didn't bother to pay attention to it - she had never considered herself to be a smart person, so she didn't bother. When she excitedly walked at the gate of Zhangyuan

When she dismounted, she met another fat guy unexpectedly. She raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Lu Sanfatty? Why are you here?"

Lu Sanlang greeted him with a smile. When Zhu Ying dismounted, he smiled and said: "The young gentleman is not here, and there are a lot of messy noises in the court. Aren't I here to visit the Grand Priest's wife? Do you know, those who have replaced you recently?"
