Zhang Fei is the new official who has made his first move. He will definitely promote some people. The way to employ people is to use both kindness and strictness. He will definitely build a team with himself as the core.
However, he believed that the competent should be given the job, so he only gave the work of drafting the contracts to those who had pens, first to see their abilities, and then to make some personnel arrangements.
As for himself, he entered the annual leave state.
... ...
"Blow up... blow up a big balloon... blow up a big balloon, clang clang clang..."
But in the steamy bathroom, there was a sexy song, and a long leg stretched out from the bathtub, with the sexy leg hair faintly visible...
Today... Today Zhang Fei will follow Cao Dongdong and others to Baifan Building. It is said that it is the most high-end karaoke bar in Tokyo. Not only that, Cao Dongdong also promised to give him a woman.
Young people
Zhang Fei is full of energy. He used to often accompany clients or his boss to nightclubs to have fun.
On the contrary, after coming to the Northern Song Dynasty, I have not been to any entertainment venue until now. You should know that the entertainment industry in the Northern Song Dynasty was very developed.
He had always wanted to go, as it was the only benefit of being single, he could indulge himself as he pleased, unlike those married men who had to be sneaky, make a phone call, or go to the bathroom first, just for a few seconds of pleasure.
It’s just that Xu Zun is so respectable that he feels embarrassed to live in Xu’s house.
He was in a hurry to move out because he needed a freer nightlife.
He was ready for everything tonight.
everything!
After taking a fragrant hot bath, Zhang Fei changed into a brand new jade-white robe and tied a headscarf.
"Li Si, how's it going?"
Zhang Fei stood in front of Li Si, dancing in a coquettish manner.
Li Si nodded naively and said, "Third brother, you look really handsome in this dress."
"You have only one shortcoming, which is that you always like to tell the truth!" Zhang Fei laughed proudly.
"Huh? Where are you going?"
As he was speaking, Xu Zhiqian suddenly entered the hall.
Zhang Fei was shocked. "Madam Xu, you came in without knocking?"
Xu Zhiqian was a little embarrassed. "I saw that the back door was not closed and you didn't have a doorman, so I just came in."
Yes! Doorman! Maid! I'll see if I can trick Xiao Ma into giving me a few maids and doormen later. Zhang Fei thought to himself.
Seeing Zhang Fei's eyes rolling around, Xu Zhiqian asked again, "Where are you going?"
Zhang Fei said, "Well, didn't Yanei invite me to Baifanlou for a good meal tonight to thank me for helping him win the lawsuit?"
"Alum Tower?"
Xu Zhiqian couldn't help but take a look at Zhang Fei's outfit.
"handsome or not?"
Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows.
Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes at him and warned him, "That place is full of trouble, especially at night. If you go with Yanei and the others, don't cause any trouble."
Zhang Fei's smile faded, "I don't want to go tonight."
Xu Zhiqian asked: "Why?"
Zhang Fei said unhappily: "Since you said so, how can I dare to go?"
Xu Zhiqian chuckled: "It's better not to go."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone outside the door shouting, "Zhang San, are you okay?"
It was Cao Dongdong's voice.
Zhang Fei hurriedly responded, "Coming! Coming!" Then he said to Xu Zhiqian, "Madam Xu, I have something to do and I'm leaving first. You can stay for a while. Goodbye! Li Si, you're welcome!"
The master and servant walked towards the door happily.
Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei's hurried back, which was so funny that she couldn't help laughing.
... ..
When he got to the door, Zhang Fei shivered suddenly. In order to show his figure, he didn't wear much inside, for fear of appearing bloated, so he just wrapped himself in a thick cloak.
He got on the carriage and saw that besides Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi, there was another handsome young man who could threaten his appearance. He couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"
Cao Dongdong said hurriedly: "This is my brother, Fu Shichun, you can call him Brother Chun."
"Brother Chun?"
Zhang Fei took a deep breath.
Fu Shichun asked curiously, "Why do you look like that?"
"Ah? No, it turns out to be Master Fu. My apologies, my apologies."
Zhang Fei quickly cupped his hands and thought, one cannot just call Chun Ge by his name casually!
The Fu family was once the number one foreign relative family in the Song Dynasty. His great-great-grandfather Fu Yanqing was known as Dugu Xin of the Zhou Dynasty because his three daughters were all empresses, namely Empress Xuanyi, Empress Xuanci of Emperor Shizong of Zhou and Empress Yide of Emperor Taizong of Song.
It was very prominent at that time, but its descendants did not live up to its expectations and is now on the decline. However, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, so no one should underestimate it.
Generally, large families of relatives by marriage have one characteristic: the women are pretty and the men are handsome.
Fu Shichun smiled and said, "When you defended Yanei that day, Xiao Ma and I also went there. It was really wonderful. I admire you deeply."
"Where! Where!"
Zhang Fei hurriedly bowed, squeezed past Ma Xiaoyi and sat down. With four people in a carriage, it did seem a bit crowded.
"It shouldn't be that the weather is too cold."
Zhang Fei rubbed his hands.
Ma Xiaoyi immediately said: "Third brother, you don't know, the weather is not cold, we are not going to Baifan Tower, let's go to Piaoxiang Tower."
Zhang Fei said, "Is there anything special about it?"
"This is very particular." Ma Xiaoyi introduced: "Baifanlou is the best restaurant in Tokyo. When the weather is good, the scholars and officials go to Baifanlou to eat and drink. We, the younger generation, don't have much fun there. But in the winter, the scholars and officials will not go to Baifanlou. Most of them are young people."
"So there are so many details here." Zhang Fei was happy, "Then we have come to the right place today."
"That is it."
Fu Shichun said, "I heard that there was a widow who was very pretty tonight and attracted quite a few people."
Zhang Fei frowned and asked, "Another widow?"
"again?"
Cao Dongdong, Ma Xiaoyi and Fu Shichun said in unison.
"Yeah! Why did I say 'again'?" Zhang Fei scratched his head, very confused.
Cao Dongdong's eyes turned, "Zhang San, do you dislike widows?"
Zhang Fei asked: "Do you like it?"
Cao Dongdong nodded.
Zhang Fei said: "I can't say I like it, but I don't care either."
Cao Dongdong said: "If this young master likes her, then...!"
Before Zhang Fei could speak, Ma Xiaoyi said, "Brother, you must be loyal. I promised to help you find a concubine today, so you can't go back on your word."
Cao Dongdong said depressedly: "I didn't say I wouldn't look for her, it's just..."
Ma Xiaoyi interrupted him again, "You have so many concubines, but my third brother doesn't have any, and you still want to compete with him."
"I'll just tell you."
Cao Dongdong said: "If you don't want to fight, then don't fight."
He really wanted to make friends with Zhang Fei, as he was lacking such a person by his side.
Fu Shichun said with a smile: "Yanei, Xiao Ma, don't rush to fight. There are quite a few people here tonight, and we may not be able to take them down."
Cao Dongdong frowned and said, "Who can compete with me?"
Fu Shichun said, "I heard that Han Pan and the others are also going there tonight."
Cao Dongdong snorted, "I'm not afraid of him."
Zhang Fei asked: "Who is this Han Pan?"
Fu Shichun said: "He is the grandson of Han Xianggong, a veteran of three dynasties."
It goes without saying that the veteran of these three dynasties was Han Qi.
Han Qi has now resigned from his official position and is living in retirement at home, but he is not on the same path as Wang Anshi and Sima Guang. For example, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang both have the same wife and live a very simple life. They cannot even afford a house, but Han Qi has many prostitutes and concubines. He knows how to enjoy life and is also very rich.
Wang Anshi and Sima Guang were outliers. If their thoughts had not reached a certain level, they would not have been able to do it.
Han Qi belongs to the mainstream of the scholar-officials.
Zhang Fei thought of Xu Zhiqian's words again and asked, "Will this cause trouble?"
Cao Dongdong said excitedly: "With this man here, what are you afraid of?"
Ma Xiaoyi said: "That's right, that's right, Han Pan is my brother's old rival, we can't give in."
Cao Dongdong said: "Xiao Ma is right. Today I must compete with Han Pan. Don't worry, I will definitely help you buy the widow."
"... ..."
Zhang Fei was confused and said, I didn’t say I wanted that widow!
Isn’t the girl sweet
Headache!
Little did they know that their Cao family and the Han family had a history of grievances. When Song Yingzong ascended the throne, he was said to be in poor health, and Empress Dowager Cao was behind the government. In addition, many court officials at the time disliked Yingzong, so they instigated the rift between mother and son. Empress Dowager Cao seemed to want to depose the emperor, which led to her not wanting to return power to the emperor after Song Yingzong recovered.
Han Qi repeatedly submitted memorials and threatened to resign, and eventually forced Empress Dowager Cao to return power to Emperor Yingzong.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Cao Dongdong and Han Pan. The two simply dislike each other.
“Ouch…!”
The carriage suddenly stopped.
Cao Dongdong asked, "Have you arrived yet?"
The coachman replied, "To answer your question, we have arrived at the gate of Baifan Tower, but there is a carriage blocking our way."
"Who is blind?"
Cao Dongdong lifted the door curtain, and coincidentally the luxurious carriage opposite also lifted the door curtain, revealing a handsome, elegant, and suave young man sitting opposite.
"Han Pan!"
Cao Dongdong frowned.
"He is Han Pan?" Zhang Fei said.
Ma Xiaoyi nodded.
"If he won't let us, then we won't let him."
Cao Dongdong gave an instruction to the coachman and jumped off the carriage.
Han Pan also got off the carriage and nodded to the coachman, who immediately drove away. Han Pan smiled at Cao Dongdong and said, "Are you here for that widow too?"
Cao Dongdong asked provocatively: "You too?"
Han Pan smiled and said, "If it were normal times, I would let Yu Yanei do it."
As he spoke, he glanced at the carriage that was giving way, and then added: "But this time I plan to buy this widow and give her to my grandfather as a concubine."
Zhang Fei, who had just got off the carriage, almost fell down when he heard this. How could this idiot be so good? I must scold him and beat him up. Confucianism is the best.
But on second thought, is this really filial piety
Han Qi is already that old, I guess you want to inherit the family property as soon as possible
Cao Dongdong snorted, "If you want something, just say it directly. Why bother to bring up Mr. Han?"
Han Pan smiled and said, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but I won't let you tonight."
Cao Dongdong hummed: "That couldn't be better."
Han Pan smiled slightly, then suddenly looked at Zhang Fei, frowned, and walked forward, "Who are you?"
Zhang Fei hurriedly bowed and said, "I am Zhang Fei."
Han Pan said, "Ear Pen Zhang San?"
Damn it, I'll change the name of the bookstore to a law firm when I get back. Otherwise, I'll be scolded every day and have to respond to it. It really makes me angry. Zhang Fei nodded.
Han Pan smiled and said, "Luckily you are here this time, otherwise, Yanei would be charged with raping someone else's wife."
When he said the latter, there was a hint of regret in his tone.
At this time, a man came over and said, "Haha... I heard that Zhang San from Dengzhou has the ability to confuse right and wrong and call a deer a horse. It's really better to meet him in person than to hear about him!"
Fu Shichun whispered to Zhang Fei: "This man's name is Fu Zhishuang, and he is the grandson of Mr. Fu."
Cao Dongdong said angrily: "Fu Zhishuang, what do you mean by this?"
Fu Zhishuang said with a smile: "There are so many young masters in the capital, why did Master Lin choose you? Shouldn't young masters reflect on themselves?"
Cao Dongdong said: "It just so happens that I get along well with him."
Fu Zhishuang laughed and said, "You get along well with him, so he wants to harm you. Haha, this reason is really unacceptable!"
Han Pan also smiled but said nothing.
Ma Xiaoyi stepped forward and said, "You think you are such a good guy, but you just spent money."
Han Pan suddenly looked at Zhang Fei, "Zhang San, as an informant, can you tell me whether this is considered a crime of slander?"
Zhang Fei said, "If Mr. Han wants to consult me, I will give you ten strings of cash for one stick of incense."
"You little ear-pen really take yourself too seriously," Fu said frankly, frowning.
Han Pan stopped him and waved to the servant.
The servant immediately took out an ingot of silver and handed it to Zhang Fei.
Rich people are different. I'll make friends with this one! Zhang Fei immediately accepted it, and then said, "I'm sorry, there is only one slander crime in our dynasty, which is the crime of criticizing the imperial carriage, which is disrespectful. Do you really want to sue Xiao Ma for disrespect?"
To criticize the imperial carriage is a metaphor for ostensibly scolding the king's carriage, but actually scolding the king.
And the extreme disrespect is the greatest disrespect, but it is just a taboo to avoid mentioning Zhao Kuangyin's grandfather Zhao Jing.
Fu Shichun pretended to be frightened and said, "Zhang San, this crime of disrespect refers specifically to being disrespectful to the government, right?"
Ma Xiaoyi took a deep breath and his expression was very appropriate.
Cao Dongdong also reacted and quickly clasped his fists and said, "You are indeed worthy of being my Brother Han. Compared to Mr. Han, you are even better!"
Han Pan's face turned pale, "Don't slander me, I didn't mean that."
Fu Zhishuang was also frightened by the hat he put on her. "Brother Han, don't argue with such a lowly person. Let's go."
Quickly pull Han Pan away.
The more he spoke, the more terrifying it became.
"hey-hey!"
Cao Dongdong said to Zhang Fei excitedly, "Zhang San, you are really amazing. You scared them away with just a few words."
Ma Xiaoyi said: "I also earned a silver ingot."
Zhang Fei sighed: "It's cool, but it's going to be hard to get the beauty tonight."
"Yanei! Xiao Ma! Brother Fu! You are here."
But a young man in his early twenties with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked over.
"Da Lang!"
Ma Xiaoyi called out and introduced Zhang Fei: "Third brother, this is Mr. Fan's only son, Fan Zheng. He is also my brother."
