Song Jinggong didn't want to drink too much of the wine, just tasted a few cups, but after a few cups, he was still confused, lying there crookedly, and constantly saying flattery to Zhang's stewardship.
Guan Shi was also a little swayed. He knew that his drinking volume was not so good. It was the little boy who made it. It was not the medicine that was taken after the drink, but the people used the brazier to roast in this small restaurant in advance.
He doesn't know what oxygen deficiency is, nor does he know what local temperature increase is to promote blood circulation, so that alcohol affects the brain more quickly.
He only knew that since the little son said so, he would definitely not be wrong. After Song Jinggong was arranged to rest, he would go out to do other things.
When Song Jinggong woke up, it was already in the afternoon. He was fed sober soup by the maid who was waiting for him. In a daze, he could vaguely hear someone talking.
"Guan Shi, who left you alone? Could it be that you don't have me in your eyes?"
Listening to the voice as if it were a woman, Song Jinggong rubbed her aching head with her hands and listened carefully with her ears sideways.
"No, the little one dare not. The little one just thinks that Young Master Song has done a good business, so he wants to get some money. If the wife doesn't allow him, the little one will send him away."
Song Jinggong finally heard clearly now. At this time, it was Guan Shi Zhang. Thinking about Zhang Zhuang's affairs, it was obvious that the person who made Guan Shi so scared was Zhang Wang.
Seeing that the hostess was going to drive herself away, Song Jinggong was immediately anxious. She was just about to go out to explain one or two, and then heard Zhang Wang say: "Government Zhang, since I teach you Zhuangzi, you have to score 12 points. Spirit, don't let people be fooled."
"Don't worry, Madam, you will never be deceived, that Young Master Song is not one of those people." Just when Song Jinggong was worried that she would be seen through, Director Zhang's voice sounded.
"Huh, isn't it someone? Could it be that you have benefited from him and are speaking for him? I heard someone say that Song Jinggong moved to Gejiazhuang to be the lord yesterday. This is just to cheat the money and escape." Zhang Wangshi The voice came again.
Song Jinggong was a little aggrieved when he heard this. If he could explain it, he would definitely rush out and say that the people on the two Zhuangzi in front of him are really cheating.
But he couldn't say, who did that Zhang Wang know him? It's not wise to really rush out.
With a trace of worry, Song Jinggong listened carefully, hoping that Steward Zhang could say a few more good things for him at this time. Sure enough, Steward Zhang spoke up.
"In return, Mrs. Song, I have tried Young Master Song today, especially when I was eating wine. Young Master Song is really good. As for the rest of the other villagers, according to my little guess, it must be that Young Master Song is familiar with each other. man of."
"Okay, don’t say much, I don’t even know people, if I don’t believe me, I will send someone to follow the surname Song. If I guess it’s right, there won’t be any goods at all. In these few days, as long as If he gets the money, he will hide.
His shop is not worth three hundred taels of silver at all, and you don't even see what the goods look like, so you dare to make such a plan, how to put Zhuangzi in charge for you in the future, huh! "
The voice of Zhang Wang’s dissatisfaction came again, and it shocked Song Jinggong. He was not afraid that someone would investigate, but he was afraid that Wang directly rejected his proposal. If this is the case, what he had spent a few days ago Doesn't money make others in vain
After listening for a while, until the sound of a person's footsteps faded away, Song Jinggong sat slumped on the small stool next to the window, thinking about what to do in the future.
Waiting for no more sound, then I heard the steward Zhang, who had never left, greet people.
"Go and call Xiao Qi, wait for Young Master Song to leave the yard, and follow afterwards. If you find that he intends to leave, come back and inform me as soon as possible."
Waiting for someone to leave, Song Jinggong breathed a sigh of relief and secretly made up his mind that nothing can be seen in the past few days. He quietly walked back before collapsing, lying there in his clothes, holding back the headache, and his eyes. Looking at the roof, thinking about how to swindle this family's money.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Wang, who Zhang Guanshi said, came back so early, so coincidental? It was because I heard that I was here, but I couldn't rest assured that Zhang was in charge and did this deliberately.
After lying down, Song Jinggong fell asleep again, until she woke up again in the evening, got up and collapsed. Just as she was about to find Guan Shi to leave, she heard Guan Shi Zhang's voice ringing outside the window.
"Did Son Song ever wake up?"
"The slave servant doesn't know, Song Gongzi has never left the house."
"Well, wait for me to go in and have a look, and order people to prepare wine and food."
Song Jinggong heard the sound, pretending to have just woken up, opened her dim sleepy eyes, and waited for Zhang Guanshi to enter the door, then yawned and said: "Zhang Guanshi is a good drinker. Song still knows what she said to Zhang Guanshi since eating. I forgot all of it. I can't even remember how to get to this room."
"Master Song didn't have any worries about Zhuangzi, so he could drink with confidence. Zhang would not be able to take care of everything at the Zhuangzi. You need to keep a few minutes for drinking, otherwise you don't know what will happen."
Guanshi Zhang came in with a smile, and said haha when he looked at Song Jinggong.
Song Jinggong didn't have time to pay attention to the truth of this statement, pressing her eyebrows with her hands, and said: "Look at the sky outside, it should be at dusk. Song will not bother you much. After a few days, the goods will arrive, and then you will deal with Zhang. Elaborate."
"No hurry, no hurry, before leaving after dinner, Master Zhuang is not clever, and it takes a lot of effort to find someone to talk to. Young Master Song has finally come here, and he can't leave like this anyway." Zhang Guan Shi wanted to stop.
"Thank you Mr. Zhang for his kindness, but it's a pity that Song is not strong enough to drink. At this moment, he still has a headache, can't drink, really can't drink. After a few days, Song will come again."
Song Jinggong said that he would not eat here anymore. What he has to do now is to pretend to make people believe him. It doesn't matter whether a meal is eaten or not.
Guan Shi asked a few more words, Song Jinggong insisted, and in desperation, sent Song Jinggong outside the gate, and then he stood there and refused to turn around for a long time.
I was moved by someone else, but Song Jinggong knew that there was a person named Xiaoqi who should follow him where he couldn't see. After thinking about it, he decided to live in Zhangjiazhuang’s house and spend some money. It doesn't matter, at least it can relieve Wang's mind.
…
As night fell, the few people who had left Zhangjiazhuangzi and Wangjiazhuangzi were still hurrying on their way.
The nearest one to Zhuangzi is Weishui. If you want to transport goods by ship, you have to travel less, but the nearest to Sanshui County is Luoshui River. According to Song Jinggong’s work, it should be there to deliver goods. .
In order not to make mistakes, people from both sides were sent to check. In addition, two people went to Sanshui County to make arrangements there. Several groups were instructed to not reveal their identities no matter where they went. .
Xinping City, dozens of miles away from Tuqiao Village, ushered in two servile people on this morning. The two did not enter the city directly, but found a Zhuangzi in a place not far from the city. I stayed, followed the instructions, took a good night's sleep, woke up in the afternoon, freshened up, and threw a few coins at random to the borrower, and walked out to find out where there is a house for sale.
When others asked, they said they came from afar and wanted to find a house to live here. After half an hour, I finally found someone who was willing to sell the house. No matter how early it was, I took the person and bought the house on the same day. .
One of them stayed to clean the house and hired someone to pan the kang. The other hurried back. It was really starry and night. He returned to Zhangjiazhuang in three quarters when Yu Chou, entered the door regardless of fatigue, and went straight to the courtyard where Zhang Xiaobao was sleeping. Before, panting for a report.
"Zhang Si was ordered to return. Xiao Niuzhuang bought a house two miles outside Xinping City. Fortunately, he did not humiliate his life."
After all, the person was already tired and could not stand, squatting there, resting on the ground with one hand, breathing continuously.
Xiao Hong heard the sound and woke Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. The two looked at each other and hurriedly got up, let Xiao Hong hug Tiaozi, light the lantern, and walked out the door. Zhang Xiaobao also put a piece of water beside Takuzi. Lift the bowl firmly.
Outside, seeing the appearance of the four under the moonlight, Zhang Xiaobao nodded, brought the water forward, and said, "Good job, the Zhang family is honored because of you."
"Little Master Xie, I have bought the house, please order from Little Master." Zhang Si took the bowl, raised his head and grumbled it, wiped his mouth with his hand, and replied respectfully.
"Well, that's fine, go find Cherry. Let her arrange the rest. You have to work hard. Remember to be careful on the road." Zhang Xiaobao smiled and nodded when he saw that one thing was done.
After Zhang Si left, he turned his head and said to Wang Juan: "This is the person I want, Zhang Xiaobao. How efficient is it compared to your second office?"
"It's just normal. Don't think that all the people in my place eat free meals. The other three roads you arranged have not come back yet." Wang Juan pouted his lips and said disdainfully.
"I didn't mean to belittle your side, just ask, go back to sleep, it seems that you don't have to go to bed right away, take milk first, it just happens to be a little hungry."
Zhang Xiaobao chuckled and saw the mother standing at the door. She rushed two steps into her arms and pretended to be a child. Wang Juan rubbed his stomach and found that there was nothing inside, so he followed.
On the banks of the Luoshui River, there were also two people who were not asleep here. Looking at the boats at the dock, they looked secretly, and carefully noted the red and green things that appeared on the boat with the occasional flashing lights. .
"Xiao Mazi, you are staring here, I will report back, Young Master Zhang is still waiting." One person looked at it for a moment, and felt that he had remembered things, and said to the other person, waiting for the other person to nod. He turned and disappeared into the night.
Those who remained, resisting fatigue, lay on the grass, letting the dew gradually wet their clothes, watching the situation motionlessly, and listening to the words of the two night watchmen over there.
