Chapter 25 Risk

On a night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, it’s time to inscribe names on the gold medal list.

For Zhang Zhou, he had almost all of these two things at once, and he doubled the amount and then came back with double portions, which made people feel a little happy.

However, this night, for Zhang Zhou, there was still some regret. That was because the two children were too young. Even if they had their own rooms, they could not sleep alone. They always had to sleep alone. With my mother by my side, this "bridal chamber wedding ceremony" is a bit sneaky.

Suisui goes to bed early, while Zhang Jun is more noisy.

Fortunately, the child can sleep more safely in the middle of the night, and there is no need to worry about getting up at night. Then Zhang Zhou has the opportunity to live in the "three-person world".

As the matron of the family, Jiang Pingyu is beautiful, generous, gentle and virtuous.

As Zhang Zhou’s concubine, Han Qing was lively and playful, which made Zhang Zhou feel that Han Qing was more like an older child. However, because of his lower family status, this older child wanted everything he wanted from Zhang Zhou, so On the matter of the house, Zhang Zhou still needed to discuss some matters with Jiang Pingyu. But when it came to Han Qing, Zhang Zhou sometimes didn't even need to say anything. Han Qing took the initiative with just a look.

Coupled with Zhang Zhou’s recent progress in work life and family responsibility, Jiang Pingyu has let go of her reserve.

In this way

Zhang Zhou had this wonderful night.

But after everything was over, they could not further enhance their relationship. Jiang Pingyu and Han Qing still had to go back to accompany their children, so that Zhang Zhou felt like he was in a world of ice and fire.

Fortunately, you can enjoy what you should enjoy. Even if you sleep alone, you will feel refreshed and have a long aftertaste.

More importantly, this is not looking for fun in a romantic land, but an ordinary life at home, which is more comfortable.

Early the next morning, Jiang Pingyu and Han Qing took their children out.

First they have to go back to the original yard to do the aftermath of the move, and then they have to hire a maid to come back as Zhang Zhou said last night. There is always someone in the yard who needs to make fire, cook, wash and sweep the floor. Han Qing is competent in taking care of children, but for some physical work, it is best to hire someone else to do it.

Originally Jiang Pingyu was not willing to spend the money, but Zhang Zhou meant that now it was time to raise people, and he had to gradually return to his original life. Hiring a maid is not buying a maid, and she will be hired back on a contract basis in the future. , to dismiss at any time is equivalent to hiring a farm girl who can come and help with the work during the slack time.

For Zhang Zhou, there is no big requirement for a maid. He can just ask a nearby mother-in-law to come back and help.

But what Jiang Pingyu means is to hire a young girl from outside the city who knows how to work. Although she may not necessarily have working experience, many times she needs some advice, but the point is that it is cheap, as long as she takes care of herself. Just take care of it, and the woman who hires a maid in the city has a lot to do.

Having said that, Zhang Zhou didn’t know if Jiang Pingyu had other intentions.

One more thing is Jiang PingyuI am going to buy some pots of chrysanthemums.

Jiang Pingyu came from a wealthy family and had no hobbies. She just liked playing with potted plants. However, as Zhang Zhou's family declined, she had given up this hobby for a long time.

Now I finally want to pick them up. It coincides with the Double Ninth Festival. In addition, potted chrysanthemums are easy to maintain and not expensive these days. They also symbolize reunion. Jiang Pingyu said that she would buy more. return.

This is nothing to Zhang Zhou.

I made it clear to Jiang Pingyu that if there were such internal family matters in the future, there would be no need to consult him, the head of the family, for everything.

The head of the family is responsible for major external affairs.

That morning, Zhang Zhou settled accounts at home.

Finally, there is no need to set up a table in the yard as a temporary desk. The house is bright, and I don’t have to worry about the wind blowing the books when I write or draw.

On that day, he had to calculate how much profit he had now, and prepare to sell the existing rice grains

On the way, Liu Gui came in to give him newly made furniture, so Liu Gui He was called into the room by Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou told him about selling rice grains.

"Mr. Zhang, the price of food is rising outside now, why are you so anxious to sell?"

Liu Gui is a smart man, he can't understand someone like Zhang Zhou who is still struggling with the price of food. In the case of rising prices, it is the behavior of selling goods.

Zhang Zhou said, "In my calculation, the price of rice grains is about to end. In the future, the price of rice grains will tend to be stable. However, if the Chengguo government sells grains in large quantities, the market price will even fall." , the magnitude is not small.”

Zhang Zhou did this business through historical knowledge.

He knows very well that although food prices will return to normal until October, there is still a process of decline. It is actually very difficult to grasp a peak. Now a very unstable factor has been added. , it is Chengguo Gongfu, a big banker.

Zhu Feng is going to the capital to prepare for big things. Since Zhang Zhou agreed to Zhu Feng to help take care of the rice and grain business of Chengguo Gongfu, he must try his best to chase the peak, otherwise how can he show his awesomeness

If Once Chengguo Gongfu sells goods, the volume will be very large, and the market price of rice grains will fall.

In this way, Zhang Zhou must take out rice grains earlier than Chengguo Duke's government, so as not to "trap himself".

"Besides, I still have some debts to repay, and the rice grain sales will have to be before mid-September. If you have time to go to Watergate recently, you will see if there are a large number of grain ships coming in. City, be sure to notify me as soon as possible."

Zhang Zhou also wanted to prevent emergencies from arising.

The butterfly effect he has produced has already appeared. The market lacks control these days, and skyrocketing and plummeting situations are easy to occur. If local relief efforts to stabilize food prices are faster at this time, then he will be because of the lack of control. He was tricked by the butterfly effect he created.

Zhang Zhou considered various unexpected situations that might arise.

"Yes"

Liu Gui is fine.

It’s just running errands anyway. Zhang Zhou has promised to officially hire him as the shopkeeper after selling the rice grains. Although Zhang Zhou’s business does not even have a shop, because Zhang Zhou is a juren, Liu Gui feels that he It's already on a high branch.

The second day of September, morning.

In the Wenhua Hall of the Imperial Palace, Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youtang was attending a Buddhist banquet, and many civil servants in the Hanlin Academy system were present.

But it was Chen Kuan, the eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, who hurried over and whispered something into Zhu Youtang’s ear. Zhu Youtang immediately stood up, not even the famous Confucian scholar he respected present. After paying attention, he went straight out of Wenhua Hall.

Zhonghanlin is also very strange.

The emperor's sudden interruption of the sutra feast was very unconventional. No one was attending the lecture, so naturally the preaching had to be stopped first.

There was suddenly a bit more noise in the Wenhua Hall.

After Zhu Youtang left the Wenhua Palace, accompanied by the chamberlain, he went straight to Kunning Palace. At this time, Queen Zhang was sitting on a chair in the main hall of Kunning Palace, wiping tears constantly.

"Your Majesty"

When Queen Zhang saw her husband coming, she stood up to greet her.

Zhu Youtang said with a nervous expression, "I heard that the epidemic sometimes spreads in the palace and also affects the west hall of Kunning Palace. What happened?"

Queen Zhang Weeping uncontrollably, one of the eunuchs kneeling on the ground was Zhang Yong, the royal eunuch and responsible for the daily affairs of Kunning Palace. Zhang Yong kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, the maidservants who usually walk around and serve in the West Palace have been having births one after another since the day before yesterday. Although they have been sent out of the palace, they have all served the princess recently. Currently, several palace maids have been temporarily transferred from the side to the west palace, and others are not allowed to approach."

After hearing this, Zhu Youtang was filled with anger and instantly rushed to his face, and said sternly, "The palace has always been strictly guarded against epidemics. How could the epidemic spread to the palace and even my home?"

Chen Kuan reminded from the side, "Your Majesty, the princess has been coming to Kunning Palace every day in the past few days to have meals with Your Majesty and the Queen."

Chen Kuan meant a lot. obvious.

Although the situation of the little princess is not optimistic now and she has been quarantined, even your Majesty and the Queen are at risk of contracting smallpox if things go wrong.

Hearing this, Zhu Youtang couldn't help but close his eyes and twist his head, with an indescribable look of sorrow on his face. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
