If it weren't for Zhu Ying's jumping up and down and making trouble, Zhang Shou felt that he might really be "detained" in Ge's mansion by Ge Yong.

After leaving the Ge residence, Zhu Ying immediately asked curiously, "Ah Shou, can the secret code you told Grandpa Ge really convey very accurate information? For example, if I write a letter of 300 to 500 words, it may be impossible for people to read it at all?"

"Of course, with just a mathematical formula and a Thousand Character Classic, it's easy to write a letter that no one can understand." Zhang Shou smiled at Zhu Ying and said, "If you are interested, you can give it a try later."

"Forget it." Zhu Ying immediately made a bitter face. "I get a headache when I calculate numbers. Otherwise, why do you think I always avoided going to Cuiyun Room before? I was afraid that those guys would ask me for help to solve the problem. I would be driven to death by then!"

At this point, she beamed with joy, "But it was not in vain to visit Grandpa Ge. I got something good from him. Grandpa Ge's paintings are very rare. When you give them to grandma later, she will be very happy!"

Can the gift of offering flowers to Buddha really make the knowledgeable lady of Duke Zhao's mansion happy

Zhang Shou was somewhat suspicious of Zhu Ying's confidence. However, thinking of the attitude of the old lady when she sent people to Rongshui Village to give gifts before, he couldn't help but have a premonition that even if he came empty-handed today, the other party would not show any unhappiness.

Of course, it’s hard to tell what other people are thinking.

Glancing at the sun that was gradually setting in the west, he could not help but say, "We have just wasted quite a bit of time. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to go and see your grandmother now? Also, considering the time, we have to hurry back tonight. I'm afraid we'll have to hurry. As for Mishi Street, I don't know if Mr. Yang and his friends will be able to go back today..."

Before Zhang Shou could finish, Zhu Ying interrupted with a smile, "It's a rare opportunity to come to Beijing, so it wouldn't hurt to stay in Beijing for a day! Zhu Hong is very responsible and will definitely arrange a place for everyone to stay."

Zhang Shou saw Zhu Ying's face full of as if it was a matter of course, and he couldn't help but feel helpless. Staying one more night in the capital, people need expenses, horses also need food, and there are more than a dozen people from the village, how much does it cost? If it was another sucker, a cunning guy like Yang Laoguan would definitely rip him off, but it was different for the Zhu family of Zhaoguogong.

"It's better to pass on the message that if they have sold all the things they brought, they can go back first if they are in a hurry. Living in the capital is not easy, so if you don't want to, you don't have to stay overnight."

Zhu Ying thought about it and decided not to boldly ask for someone to stay at the Duke of Zhao's mansion, or to say that she, Miss Zhu, would be responsible for all the expenses in Beijing. The Zhu Ying who left Beijing might have done so, but after staying in a small village for more than a month and even experiencing a small-scale war, she thought she had grown a lot.

Therefore, she finally nodded, pointed to a guard and told him to go to Mishi Street to pass on the message. But after the guard left, she was about to urge Zhang Shou to go to Zhaoguogong Mansion with her, but suddenly she heard a sound of gongs and drums, followed by a loud voice shouting something.
