Two gold…”
Zhang Yunming clapped his hands with his fan and said, "You are going to use the 300,000 yuan to buy grain! Then sell it and make a fortune! But how do you know this will happen?!"
In the previous life, last year, Ji Wenzhao proposed to the prince to buy a large amount of grain, on the one hand to subsidize the farmers, and on the other hand to prepare for the famine year. The prince also presented this suggestion to the emperor, which was adopted. However, the grain harvests have been good year after year, and this year, the price of rice has become even cheaper. Ji Wenzhao asked the prince to do it again, and many people objected. As a result, the prince neither spoke to the emperor, nor did he try his best to buy grain. Many people will regret it when there is a famine in the future. Although the crown prince moved to attract foreigners, Ji Wenzhao was killed. However, the grain purchased by the crown prince following Ji Wenzhao's suggestion brought him huge benefits during the famine years, and the court also had a large amount of grain stockpiled because of his suggestion, and the crown prince was widely praised.
Shen Wen raised his head halfway: "I can predict the future!"
Zhang Yunming was a little skeptical: "Really?"
Zhang Yunzheng said irritably, "It's true!"
Zhang Yunming raised an eyebrow at Zhang Yunzheng: "How do you know?"
Zhang Yunzheng said loudly: "I knew it!"
Zhang Yunming pursed his lips, looked at Shen Wen with a smile again: "If it's true, it's a good thing. In fact, you borrowed this money to make money in the future, repay the principal and interest, and then share the dividend with us."
Shen Wen said: "I don't know if I can pay it back."
Zhang Yunming said in a persuasive tone: "The Marquis of Zhenbei is in the north, and the grain and rice are all in the south of the Yangtze River. How can I buy them? How can I sell them? My mother's family is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River..."
Shen Wen said: "I originally wanted you, my brother, to help me buy grain and rice through your mother's family..."
Zhang Yunming shook his fan: "Wait, wait, you mean, use our family's money, let our people buy grain and rice for you, and you just sit at home..."
Shen Wen nodded vigorously: "Yes, how old am I? How can I run all over the place?"
Zhang Yunming closed his fan and pointed at Shen Wen: "You think well! When the money comes, you just count it..."
Shen Wen shook his head: "I don't count money."
Zhang Yunming snorted, "Yes! You don't want to touch money!"
Shen Wen said: "Of course I can't touch it. Because some of the money has to be given to my second brother and paid to the craftsmen. Of course, most of the money is used to buy grain and rice, and some of it will be transported for my father to make military food reserves. The rest will be exchanged for gold and silver. , used to recruit private soldiers, water bandits and road tyrants, to open wine cellars... "
Zhang Yunming waved his hands anxiously: "Stop! Stop!" He turned around and went out.
Zhang Yunzheng looked at Shen Wen angrily and said, "You know more than me?"
Shen Wen rolled his eyes: "Of course, otherwise how could I take you there?"
The muscles on Zhang Yunzheng's face twisted: "Who copied and killed my family?! Is it the prince?! I have always heard my father say that he is not kind, is it him?!"
Shen Wen narrowed his eyes: "Yes, so what?"
Zhang Yunzheng's eyes widened: "Then I'll kill him!"
Shen Wen cut it: This is indeed something that Zhang Yunzheng worked hard in his previous life. She tried her best to be patient and said: "First, it is very difficult to assassinate him. He is in the deep palace with guards around him. Second, if he killed him before committing a crime, the punishment is not appropriate."
Zhang Yunzheng looked at Shen Wen: "Are you confused?! Don't you have to wait for him to do something bad before you kill him? It's not too late?"
Shen Wen said: "If you know that your neighbor is always trying to kill you, sharpening his knife every day, would you jump over there and kill him, or are you ready to kill him at the crime scene when he does it?"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Of course I jumped over there and killed him, the first strike is the best! What if I don't prepare well and he kills me?"
Shen Wen said contemptuously: "Coward!"
Zhang Yunzheng said angrily, "What do you know? It's bad for me to strike later. Do I have to wait until he puts the knife on my neck before doing it?"
Shen Wen said: "It's not when you're on the neck, it's when he shows the knife to you, but it's not when he sharpens the knife in his own home. This is a legal concept. Having a bad heart does not mean that you will do bad things. The punishment has to be for the crime. Otherwise, it’s killing innocent people indiscriminately.”
Zhang Yunzheng said impatiently: "What is killing innocent people indiscriminately? If he has malicious intentions, he will kill innocent people in my family indiscriminately in the future. Can't I kill him?"
Shen Wen said: "Because he hasn't acted yet, we can't do it either."
Zhang Yunzheng clenched his fist at Shen Wen: "I thank you for letting me see... that life, otherwise I would be confused... But, we really think differently. I borrowed money for you, which is considered a reward for you! From then on, We parted ways!"
Shen Wen sneered: "How much have you seen? How much do you know? But I know what's going on from the beginning to the end! Who did it, how did it, step by step, one by one, how did I destroy my Shen Jiajun? How did my father and elder brother and second brother die in northern Xinjiang, how did my eldest sister commit suicide on the battlefield to keep her innocence, how did your father die in battle, how did your elder brother get pierced by thousands of arrows together with my third brother and third prince... "
Zhang Yunzheng burst into anger again: "What did you say?! Why didn't I know that my father and brother were dead?! I want to watch it again!"
Shen Wen shook his head: "You can only see your own life, you can't see others. Your mother didn't tell you that your father and brother are dead, probably to prevent you from getting angry and revenge. She wants you to escape alive. And , you didn't look down."
Zhang Yunzheng stared at Shen Wen: "Then how do you know this? What happened in your life?"
When Shen Wen thought that Zhang Yunzheng wanted to do it alone, he became angry: This is really a troublemaker, he must be deterred! Shen Wen looked directly at Zhang Yunzheng and said: "It doesn't matter what happened to me in that life, the important thing is that I was unwilling to stay after that life!"
Seeing Zhang Yunzheng's puzzlement, Shen Wen emphasized again: "Yes, it was you who broke up and died in your family, and fought alone with the prince and later emperor for more than 20 years. Come down. I stayed! Moreover, I persisted for a thousand years, until I found the opportunity to return to my body!"
After all, Zhang Yunzheng was still a sixteen-year-old boy, and when he heard this, his back felt cold.
After Shen Wen was reborn, he finally told his true situation once, and he was very happy for a while! Seeing Zhang Yunzheng's terrified eyes, he said even more boldly: "Yes! I am a ghost who has lingered for thousands of years! Now the sun is returning to settle the old accounts one by one! Therefore, I know everything! Therefore, I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and insist on crimes. Punishment! So, I have a comprehensive plan, which is definitely a hundred times better than your reckless assassination! So, you must listen to me! Because in the end, I will win!"
Shen Wen looked up at Zhang Yunzheng angrily.
Zhang Yunzheng broke out in cold sweat under his armpits: A thousand-year-old ghost!
Shen Wen probably knew what Zhang Yunzheng was thinking, and said proudly: Are you afraid? mock up! Did you quarrel with me just now? ! She suddenly stuck out her tongue at Zhang Yunzheng and rolled her eyes at the same time, trying to scare Zhang Yunzheng.
But Zhang Yunzheng felt that the terrifying atmosphere that had been established with great difficulty was completely broken up by Shen Wen's grimace: A little girl in bright yellow clothes sticks out her tongue to you, no matter how bloody the tongue is, it is not long, so there is nothing to be afraid of of. And those eyes are not big in the first place, even if you turn them over and over again, you won't be able to turn them anywhere!
Zhang Yunzheng immediately dismissed it—what's so scary! Even a ghost is also a wretch! I was going crazy after being imprisoned for such a long time. She cheated every day, and it was not much better, and she was probably a little crazy. Immediately lost awe of Shen Wen!
He said with contempt: "What's the big deal! It took a thousand years to come back! What a fool! If it were me, it would take about a hundred years!"
Shen Wen was angry again: "What do you know?! You bastard who doesn't hurt your back when you stand and talk!"
Zhang Yunzheng managed to find a new word, and immediately used it: "Stupid ghost!"
Shen Wen fell into the pit again: "The little bastard who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth!"
Zhang Yunzheng started to get used to it with ease: "You idiot who can't come back no matter what!"
The words pierced deep in Shen Wen's heart, and Shen Wen was so angry that he was going crazy: "You big bastard!"
Zhang Yunzheng: "You're still a little fool! Don't expect me to say you're old!"
…
Zhang Yunming walked in from the door, closed the door again, and said in a low voice: "You guys are so careless, what are you talking about loudly? Today, because Miss Shen Er is coming over, everyone is sent away, and they are watching from a distance. No one cares around here. But what if someone comes to listen to me? I took a good look at the left and right, Miss Shen, what do you want to use the money for? It sounds like Rebel!"
Shen Wen calmed down for a moment before saying: "It's not rebellion, it's self-defense. Besides, it's too far away to say that now. First, we need to allocate money to purchase a large amount of food... At least three hundred thousand taels, is it okay?"
Without waiting for Zhang Yunming to answer, Zhang Yunzheng frowned and replied annoyedly: "I've already said it! Why do you keep asking!"
Zhang Yunming frowned: "Hi! I'm still here! Who is the eldest brother?"
Su Wanniang's voice came from a distance: "Miss..."
Shen Wen saluted hurriedly, looked at Zhang Yunming and said: "If this matter is not done closely..."
Zhang Yunzheng waved impatiently: "I know! Stop talking!"
Zhang Yunming was stunned: "She is an outsider, how can you speak so rudely?"
Zhang Yunzheng said disapprovingly: "She's a ghost! I don't care about it!"
Shen Wen was angry: "Of course I care! Remember, don't leak the news, don't expose me..."
Zhang Yunzheng waved impatiently: "Okay, okay, you go away! You're so stupid! We have to discuss money!"
His tone was rough, Shen Wen said before leaving: "You are stupid!" But she didn't care about it: she finally got the money! There was some relief in the joy, and he felt that he had relieved another burden, and completely dissipated the anger of the quarrel with Zhang Yunzheng just now. She walked out quickly. At the gate of the courtyard, I met Su Wanniang who was walking over with a maid.
Seeing Shen Wen, Su Wanniang breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss! Why have you been away for so long! Missy and the others have urged her several times."
Shen Wen smiled embarrassedly, took Su Wanniang's arm and said, "Sister Wanniang really cares about me, let's go!"
The three walked through the willow forest to the lake.
In the room, Zhang Yunming thought deeply: "Speaking of which, there have been good harvests for two years, and it is okay to store more grain at this time. It is only three hundred thousand taels, which is too much..." He looked down at the broken furniture in the room , shook his head: "What's the matter, are you so angry?"
Zhang Yunzheng said anxiously: "Brother, I'm sorry..."
Zhang Yunming turned his head: "Then what kind of ecstasy soup did the girl give you?"
Zhang Yunzheng said seriously: "She opened my eyes for a moment, and let me see why that Taoist priest asked my parents to raise me as a girl."
Zhang Yunming laughed: "There is such a thing? Why?"
Zhang Yunming was the only one who came to see Zhang Yunzheng every day. From childhood to adulthood, this elder brother was Zhang Yunzheng's closest and most jealous person.
Zhang Yunzheng hated that his brother could live so generously under the care of his relatives and under the eyes of people, while he was confined here like a prisoner. But this brother really loves him and sympathizes with him. Now that Shen Wen is gone, there is only Zhang Yunming in the room, thinking that one day this brother will leave him and die far away, Zhang Yunzheng is a proud and stubborn young man, so he can't help crying.
Seeing tears in Zhang Yunzheng's eyes, Zhang Yunming hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't want to say it..."
Zhang Yunzheng swallowed back tears reluctantly, and said with a choked voice, "Because, one day, father and you will die on the battlefield. I, dressed in women's clothing, was dragged away and escaped death... "
Zhang Yunming asked in disbelief: "You said you saw this with your eyes open? Dad has long since stopped commanding soldiers, how could he be on the battlefield?"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Bei Rong called, Zhen Beihou died, and the Shen family army was finished. Father said to lead the army, you said to be a pioneer, and mother sold the dowry, so you left... I want to go too, but my father won't let me go." Go... After you left for many days, the Hou Mansion was besieged by the Imperial Forest Army, and all the guards in the mansion were killed..."
The fan in Zhang Yunming's hand "clicked", and the bones of the fan were broken. He threw the fan on the ground, put his hands behind his back, and stood in front of the window.
Looking at Zhang Yunming's back, Zhang Yunzheng finally burst into tears: "I chased you to the outside of the city, and watched you go away, brother, just looking at your back... I really want to walk with you!"
Zhang Yunming turned around and hugged Zhang Yunzheng, Zhang Yunzheng cried like a child: "Brother, I'm not good, you go tell your parents that I'm not a good son..."
Zhang Yunming hugged Zhang Yunzheng tightly. Although this younger brother has a bad temper and always finds opportunities to fight with him, but he is unsophisticated and pure-hearted, and will never lie to himself. He said that and cried like this, he must have seen it. This winter hunt, the crown prince was so blatantly attacking the third prince, and because he ran away with the third prince and the others, the crown prince wanted to marry the fourth princess to him. If one day, Bei Rong invaded and Zhen Beihou collapsed, based on his understanding of his father, he could imagine that his father would ask for conscripts, and he would definitely go with him, and the family of women and children left behind would fall to the crown prince. hand!
Zhang Yunming gritted his teeth and said to Zhang Yunzheng: "Don't cry, it's okay! With Dad and I here, it's not that easy!" He didn't know that his tone was actually very similar to Shen Yi comforting Shen Wen back then.
Zhang Yunzheng nodded and said: "This is also that little liar... what the kid said, it's from the previous life..."
Zhang Yunming smiled: "Why do you call him that, she is a little fat girl."
Zhang Yunzheng shook his head: "She is a fool!"
Zhang Yunming sighed and said: "Where is that stupid? It's a little brat, that fat duck! You're such a big brat, you even fooled me!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Brother, I will definitely not stay behind. You can make arrangements tomorrow and get me a servant status. I will follow you!"
Zhang Yunming let go of Zhang Yunzheng, looked at him and shook his head: "You don't look like a servant, you look like a noble son, people can see through it at a glance!"
Zhang Yunzheng frowned: "Then you help me make up an identity, Jianghu hero or something... Go get my master back, say that I will not beat him, let him bring me back, and tell others that this is his apprentice …”
Zhang Yunming smiled: "It's easy to talk about, now it's about the money, how can I persuade my parents to buy food?"
Zhang Yunzheng took it for granted, "Just tell them what I saw!"
Zhang Yunming sighed: "It's hard to say such illusory things."
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Since my mother believes the Taoist priest's words, maybe my mother will believe it."
Zhang Yunming shook his head: "It is precisely because my mother can believe it, so I shouldn't tell her. If she is a woman, if she believes it, she will stay at home and worry every day, what can she do? The key is that my father must believe it, but my father is suspicious, so it is difficult for me to say nothing." Convince him on grounds."
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Father is not easy to persuade, but we have to convince mother anyway, she manages the money and allows me to buy food."
Zhang Yunming pondered: "I can't really tell her what happened next, she must be frightened. We have to make up something and coax the two of them to let you go to Jiangnan to supervise and buy grain."
Zhang Yunzheng was overjoyed: "You also agree that I will do this myself?"
Zhang Yunming nodded and said, "In this way, you can also go out for a walk."
Zhang Yunzheng was really happy: "Okay! Brother, you go with me! I won't hit you anymore!"
Zhang Yunming habitually raised his hand to fan, but his hand was empty, he opened his palm, nodded and said, "Anyway, I have to hide recently, so let's go out and have fun with you." Zhang Yunzheng has never been out of the capital, There must be someone with it.
Zhang Yunzheng was so happy that he kicked out a chair leg, and the wooden block came out through the window. Zhang Yunming sighed, looked around and said: "Remember, if they come to question you, just say that you have defeated me, and I agree to take you. If you go back on your word, you have to..."
Zhang Yunzheng said, "I'm going to set fire to the house!"
Zhang Yunming nodded and said, "Okay, enough ruthlessness! Oh, that note."
Before Zhang Yunzheng went to the bookshelf, he found the note that said "Zhang Yunzheng, male", and gave it to Zhang Yunming. Zhang Yunming looked at it and said happily, "Okay! With this evidence, the 300,000 yuan will definitely be paid!" Then he said to Zhang Yunzheng: "Don't clean up here, go to sleep in the back. I will see my father after I send them away. mother."
Zhang Yunming sent away Shen Wen who was also smiling, Shen Xiang who had a good chat with Zhang Yunjin, and Shen Zhuo who looked very unhappy even though he won the chess game, and then went to see Pingyuanhou and Li Shi.
Marquis Pingyuan and Mrs. Li were very curious about the "date" between their "eldest daughter" and Miss Zhenbei Hou, and they had already sat in the hall, waiting to hear the details.
Zhang Yunming wiped off the smile on his face, came in with a gloomy expression, and handed the note written by Ping Yuanhou, Shen Wen when he was six years old. When Ping Yuanhou saw it, his face changed, Li Shi hurriedly took it, and was also shocked Pale.
Marquis Pingyuan asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Zhang Yunming hurriedly said: "It's nothing. That Second Miss Shen sometimes has weird dreams. She dreamed about it at that time, so she wrote it down to see if it's true."
Li frowned and said, "Did she write this?"
Zhang Yunming nodded and said: "He said yes, there is life outside the purse, and, looking at the handwriting, it is a child's, and the ink is already old."
Marquis Ping Yuan twirled the jade ball: "Since she knows he is... why did she want to see him?"
Zhang Yunming lowered his voice: "That Second Miss Shen had another dream. She dreamed that this year was ripe, and the price of grain was extremely cheap, but then there were four years of severe drought and one year of severe flood, and the fields were full of hunger, and the price of grain was extremely expensive. The second Miss dreamed that he went to the south of the Yangtze River to collect grain with 300,000 silver and became a rich man..."
Li exclaimed: "What?! How is this possible?"
Zhang Yunming also sighed: "I also said it was impossible, but he believed it all! He kept talking about going to the south of the Yangtze River to collect grain. After the lady left, I couldn't persuade him no matter what, so he fought me hard. The tables and chairs in the house were smashed, and the windows were broken... "
Li Shi was about to cry again: "My son..." But he turned to look at Ping Yuanhou's calm face, and swallowed his tears.
Marquis Ping Yuan pursed his lips tightly and listened, turning the jade ball in his hand and asked, "What happened next?"
Zhang Yunming whispered embarrassingly: "Later he won and forced me to agree, saying that if I couldn't convince my parents, he would set fire to the house..."
Marquis Pingyuan snorted, "He dares!"
Zhang Yunming went on to say: "...then, he ran to Zhenbei Hou's mansion and said that anyway, the second lady knew his identity. He originally told that lady not to tell others, but now he changed his mind and asked her to tell her brothers. He just lived in their house. He didn’t have any friends these years, so he just happened to have a good time with those young masters. He will come back when his father and mother figure it out and let him go to the south of the Yangtze River.”
Marquis Pingyuan scolded: "You little bastard!" How dare you go to Zhenbeihou's house? Does this mean that your own home is not good? ! This is very irritating to Ping Yuanhou—he feels in his heart that he owes Zhang Yunzheng, so he can't stand Zhang Yunzheng and therefore hates his family.
Zhang Yunming saw that Marquis Pingyuan was really angry, and tentatively said: "Actually, I can go with him."
Marquis Pingyuan frowned and looked at Zhang Yunming, and asked: "Aren't you working hand in hand with him?"
Zhang Yunming's heart beat, but he said naturally: "What did Dad say? We are brothers, so I should naturally take him with me."
If Shen Wen was present, he would have to admit that when it comes to cheating, Mr. Zhang is even better!
Ping Yuanhou stood up and said, "Let's go and see him!"
Zhang Yunming accompanied Marquis Pingyuan and Marquis Li to the study room. Outside, the servants who had been sent away had already returned, but no one entered the study room. When they saw Marquis Pingyuan and Marquis Li, everyone stood in silence with their heads down.
Marquis Ping Yuan led the way into the room, and Li Shi and Zhang Yunming also walked in. When Mrs. Li saw the broken furniture all over the floor, she really cried, and turned around to hug Zhang Yunming: "My son, are you not hurt?"
Zhang Yunming dodged: "No... no, it's mainly because he... smashed it."
Marquis Pingyuan picked up a piece of wood to have a look, and found that it was indeed destroyed like this with great effort, which shows that he was furious. Only shook his head and sighed.
Mrs. Li said in a low voice: "Actually, if you really go to buy grain, it's nothing. Three hundred thousand silver is not a small amount, but if there is a real famine, grain is the most valuable. Let Da Lang take him out It’s good to turn around, he is so anxious, he should relax. Shouldn’t Dalang be hiding too?”
Zhang Yunming was secretly delighted—as expected, it was the mother who spoke the best, seeing the note, he believed in dreams.
Pingyuan Hou Yushi's expression changed, and Zhang Yunming said: "Father, you always say that everything is like the moon, there is profit and loss, and there have been good harvests for two or three years. It will be really severe drought next year. Buy the grain early, don't worry." Just right? If it’s a good year, the grain and rice can be stored for a year or two. If it’s really not good, it can be sold at a good price when it’s sent to the border...”
Ping Yuanhou frowned: "Go to the back and see him."
The three of them walked out of the study door to the backyard, which is actually a big courtyard, with a large courtyard in the middle where you can practice martial arts, and a small courtyard with three entrances in the back, where the guards live. One of the courtyards is Zhang Yunzheng's bedroom.
The three of them entered the bedroom door, and Zhang Yunzheng was lying on the bed with his clothes on. When he saw his parents, he thought of how much they had painstakingly hid himself here all these years, but how much he hated them for this, and how much trouble he caused them. Who knows, in the end, he was the only one who escaped with his life...
Zhang Yunzheng felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, but he was still awkward on the surface. He pulled up the quilt next to him and covered his head, expressing that he didn't want to see them!
He has always been used to being arrogant and pampered, and the Marquis Pingyuan felt sorry for Zhang Yunzheng the most. How unfair it was to him to be imprisoned here for so many years! But how did the Taoist know that Li's second child was a son? How can you say so conclusively? Although Ping Yuanhou didn't agree with Li so much verbally, he still had a shadow in his heart. He retreated bravely and never got involved in government affairs. Isn't it a kind of fear of the future? Therefore, even if Li Shi gave up one day, Marquis Ping Yuan did not dare to say that he would not persist until the day when Zhang Yunzheng was twenty-two years old. What's more, now that Zhang Yunzheng is old enough to go out at night, it will be enough to stay up for a few more years. But Marquis Pingyuan also knew, how can a person not associate with other people... So since childhood, Marquis Pingyuan and his wife doted on this child in every possible way, no matter how much they cursed, they never really beat him. Knowing that he hated his parents in his heart, he has always tolerated his willfulness and violent temper.
Mrs. Li sat down by the bed and said in a crying voice, "My son, I'm sorry for you..."
Zhang Yunzheng felt even more sad when he heard it, but turned over to face the bed, and gave Li Shi his back.
Marquis Pingyuan sighed, "You son of a bitch! You deserve a beating!"
Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "He is not happy, don't talk about him."
Zhang Yunming said in a low voice: "Actually, my younger brother doesn't have to stay here anymore. It's just an empty shell, and no one else will know."
Ping Yuanhou looked at the second son who was lying on the bed with a quilt covering his head, hunched over like a big shrimp, and then looked at the tall and confident eldest son standing aside, feeling sore in his heart, he finally nodded: "You take him Go to the south of the Yangtze River to collect grain." He said to Mrs. Li: "You let a capable housekeeper follow them."
Zhang Yunzheng lifted the quilt at once, sat up from the bed, and said excitedly: "I can go out now?!"
Mrs. Li was so startled that she clutched her chest, Ping Yuanhou scolded: "You child, you are so irritable! Look, you are scaring your mother!"
Zhang Yunzheng patted Li Shi on the back indiscriminately, and Li Shi immediately burst into tears with gratitude: "What a good boy, I know I love my mother..." Zhang Yunzheng immediately withdrew his hands, looking very unhappy.
Marquis Pingyuan said with emotion: "Nizi!"
Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "Don't talk about him like that, he is starting to understand now." She was very relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhang Yunming: "Since you are going to the south of the Yangtze River and collecting grain, you must Go tell your grandfather, let him have an idea. In case there is a real drought in the future, they are not prepared." She has always been superstitious, but now she has believed in "prophecy".
Zhang Yunming knew that it was all over, so he quickly agreed politely, and compared Zhang Yunzheng to being uneducated. But at this time Zhang Yunzheng didn't openly trouble Zhang Yunming like before, he just sat on the bed frowning.
Seeing this scene, Marquis Pingyuan already believed in his heart that the two brothers were working together, he could only sigh and said: "It's better not to say anything about it."
Zhang Yunming hurriedly said: "My son knows, otherwise people will suspect that Pingyuanhou's residence has bad intentions." That's natural.
Mrs. Li smiled and said to Zhang Yunzheng: "Son, are you happy to be able to go out with your brother now?"
Zhang Yunzheng never had a good face towards his parents, the best he could do at this time was just pouted and nodded.
Mrs. Li smiled, and suddenly asked: "I saw a sparrow in that study, how did it get in?"
Thinking of Shen Wen, Zhang Yunzheng even gave him a sparrow as a gift to cheat money! Immediately angry, he jumped off the bed and said: "That liar..." He rushed out of the door, planning to burn the sparrow to relieve his anger.
Li stopped in the air with a handkerchief in his hand, and sighed: "This frizzy person..."
Ping Yuanhou said to Zhang Yunming: "You have to teach him well when you go out."
Zhang Yunming nodded.
Zhang Yunzheng ran to the study room, grabbed the little sparrow in his hand, but hesitated for a while, and threw the sparrow out of the door. Seeing the little sparrow flapping its wings and flying away, Zhang Yunzheng cursed again in a low voice: "You little liar!"
In a fragment of furniture, he saw the handkerchief Shen Wen used to wrap the sparrow. Because Shen Wen was too lazy to do needlework, the handkerchief was simply embroidered around it, which was much simpler than what Zhang Yunzheng saw his mother use. Zhang Yunzheng picked it up with two fingers in disgust, went to the bookshelf to find a book, opened it, put the handkerchief in it, and pushed the book to the bottom. He couldn't let the servants who came to clean up the furniture get this handkerchief and cause trouble. But he didn't bother to return the handkerchief to the little liar, he was so angry when he thought of the annoying person who quarreled with him!
When he returned to the bedroom, Ping Yuanhou and Li Shi had already left, only Zhang Yunming was waiting for him.
Zhang Yunming smiled and said, "It's done."
While Zhang Yunzheng was happy, he suddenly asked: "Brother, do you have any tips for arguing with others?"
Zhang Yunming was surprised by this kind of answer, and replied: "This kind of profound thing has not been experienced for a long time..."
Zhang Yunzheng said anxiously: "Say it quickly!"
Zhang Yunming sighed: "Let me tell you something simple, anyway, whatever the other party scolds you, you immediately scold back!"
Zhang Yunzheng said disdainfully: "It's not easy! I knew it a long time ago! You don't know as much as I do!"
Zhang Yunming squinted: "You boy! Who helped you just now?"
Zhang Yunzheng became angry from embarrassment, stared and said: "Want to fight?!"
Zhang Yunming snorted: "Who is afraid of you?"
The two of them fought ping-pong-pong.
Marquis Pingyuan and Mrs. Li walked back slowly. In the spring evening, the wind was warm and the sunset was peaceful, and both of them were in a good mood.
Mrs. Li was a little puzzled and said, "You said why does the Second Miss of the Shen family always dream of him?"
Marquis Pingyuan snorted: "You believe in everything!"
Li was shocked: "They lied to us again?"
Ping Yuanhou shook his head: "It's not all fake..."
Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Ping Yuanhou said again: "It's not all true, but it must be counting your money..."
Li was angry: "Those two! That's three hundred thousand taels of silver!"
Ping Yuanhou smiled: "They are all grown up, what's wrong with letting them go out to play?"
Mrs. Li sighed: "The child is grown up, so he is so eccentric. Lord Hou, I only have you."
Marquis Pingyuan squinted his eyes and looked at Li Shi: "Isn't that enough?"
Li Shi pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course it's enough..."
Under the setting sun, the shadows of the two people overlapped.
Shen Wen confirmed the source of the money and was very satisfied. After returning to the house, I slept in for a few days, saying that I was "tired" after going out of the house.
She asked Su Wanniang to pass the message to Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo, and the three of them left the mansion that night, and after getting together again, they found a secluded place near the Hou's mansion.
Shen Wen immediately gave the credit: "I met that...Miss Zhang and convinced her. She came forward and convinced Mr. Zhang. So, in the future, you can discuss things with Mr. Zhang." Facing the two brothers, Shen Wen dared not Said that she openly went to meet unmarried men from other people's families alone, but she still took care of her brothers' self-esteem.
Shen Jian asked in surprise: "You can actually see Miss Zhang? Oh, I remembered, you gave her a sachet during the flower party, what did you write in it?"
Shen Wen said vaguely: "Yes... It's his personal business." Anyway, I can't tell you now, Shen Wen hurriedly skipped this question, and then said: "As for the money, Mr. Zhang should help prepare."
Shen Zhuo looked at Shen Wen and shook his head: "You said a while ago that you would get money, were you trying to get his family's idea?"
Shen Wen coughed: "Of course! They are so rich."
Shen Zhuo was a little unhappy: "Then you can't ask for it like this! It seems that we..."
Shen Jian said: "At this time, it's not about who's money. If something happens in the future, their house will not be spared. If we work together, we will have more strength. Moreover, Mr. Zhang is also a smart person, and he will have many good ideas. .”
Shen Wen knew that Shen Zhuo felt that he had lost face and that he would not be able to go to Pingyuan Hou's mansion to ask for marriage in the future, so he said, "It's not just asking for money, I'll let them buy food, and when the famine comes, the price of food will increase by hundreds of dollars." times, and in some places where the price is comparable to gold, they will definitely make money."
Shen Zhuo just snorted.
Shen Jian said to Shen Zhuo: "Don't worry about the awkwardness between the two of you in the past, maybe you did something together, and our two families will be closer?"
Shen Zhuo raised his hand and rubbed his nose, and said in a low voice, "It's not... that far away. It's Mr. Zhang who always finds fault with me."
Shen Jian sighed, and said in his heart that if someone took a fancy to my sister, I would also find trouble.
Shen Wen warned: "I asked for a lot of money, you should find more craftsmen, don't worry about the money."
Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo agreed, and said a few more casual words, and the three of them returned home.
With money, Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo became more confident. The next day, they wandered outside and secretly visited craftsmen.
At the same time, preparations were also being made in the Prince's East Palace.
Staff Report: "The woman who usually plays with the four sons of Zhenbeihou belongs to us. She turned out to be a cook. Because she is strong and able to hold the child, she was pointed out by Yang as the leader. She will take that The child was taken to the water's edge and drowned."
The prince frowned and asked, "Are you sure it will be safe?"
The aide said: "It should be. We arranged five or six people to distract others and guard the lakeshore. The child is only one and a half years old and can't even run out."
The prince nodded: "Remember, don't miss it!"
The staff bowed again and again: "No, no."
Shen Wen was happy here for several days, and then felt something was wrong again.
It stands to reason that she should have nothing to worry about after solving the money problem, but she is always a little terrified. When meditating at night, I feel that danger is approaching in the dark. During the day, she thought about it, but she couldn't find out where she felt unwell.
