Ning Tong politely asked these female customers to leave.
When sending these people out, she saw that the two hired nurses at the door were gone, and she knew that it was probably Zhang Zhou's masterpiece.
Ning Tong asked Zhang Zhou to come to her inner courtyard while asking the maid to go to the door and hang the door sign without doing business.
She didn’t seem too coy about her contact with Zhang Zhou, and she didn’t seem to care about other people’s comments about her women’s ethics. As a person who could reconcile with An Bianhou, she probably She is also a strange person in the circle of celebrities in the capital.
Other people are afraid that after the two families reconcile and separate, the other side will become prosperous and we will not be able to share wealth and prosperity together.
And she had to wait for Zhu Feng to rise to prominence before mentioning Heli. It was inappropriate for a newly promoted Anbian Marquis’ wife to run out to sell rouge and gouache. From the perspective of people of this era, it was understandable. You can't do this kind of second-guessing behavior.
"What did you do to Chen's sister?" Ning Tong asked Zhang Zhou with a glare after inviting Zhang Zhou to her room in the backyard.
Zhang Zhou smiled secretly.
This woman thought she came to the house just like Zhu Feng to make her angry.
Ning Tong thought the initiative was on her side.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "She is running a coal mine and an iron mine, and her annual profit is about ten or twenty thousand taels of silver, which is more or less."
"You put it She's been taken over." Ning Tong looked at Zhang Zhou with the eyes of a bully.
"Of course, if you don't dominate her, how can you let her do business?" Zhang Zhou said, "You have to understand it this way. I think your thinking is very good, but the problem is that she gets what she wants. After that, I abandoned you like a pair of worn-out shoes. Do you regret it now?"
Ning Tong stared at Zhang Zhou and said, "The Chen family's sister must have been coerced by you. You have interests, how can you?" Will I give it to her easily? Don’t think I don’t know that she owes a lot of foreign debt and has not paid it back yet.”
Zhang Zhou said, “What are you talking about? I’m here to discuss another business with you. Yes. I plan to use your place as an inn and send someone to live here."
Ning Tong asked "Who is it?"
Ning Tong probably did. She knew that since Zhang Zhou was willing to come to the door, this matter must not be simple, and it seemed that she had no reason to refuse.
In the past, even if she wanted to see Zhang Zhou, she was not allowed to see her. Now Zhang Zhou has come on his own initiative and said that he wants to send someone to live with her. This does not mean that she has the capital to trap Zhang Zhou
" Woman." Zhang Zhou said, "You don't have to worry about food and clothing for a pregnant woman. Even the cooking will be done for you. You will know about her when she leaves after staying for a while. Identity, but you can't know it when she lives there."
Ning Tong said with a narrow look, "With your identity, do you still have to stay with me if you have a foreigner?"
Zhang Zhou said, "You don't care if she is my foreign wife or not. I will bring this person over to you right now. It is good for you and harmless to treat her well. If anything goes wrong, you know, I will be in trouble too." ."
Ning Tong seems to be very dull when it comes to worldliness, but her brain is very shrewd in some aspects.
She seemed to sense from Zhang Zhou's hint that the woman Zhang Zhou mentioned was the foreign residence of a "big man", but no matter how she thought about it, she probably would not think of the emperor.
The key point is that in the impression of ordinary people, the emperor can take any woman he wants, which is more convenient than Zhang Zhou taking concubines. In her eyes, Zhang Zhou can take concubines into his own yard at will, and the emperor still uses Mind the red tape
"It belongs to Zhu Feng" Ning Tong called her ex-husband by his first name.
Zhang Zhou curled his lips and said, "It's good that it's his. Mrs. Chengguo is now urging him to get married and have children every day, and you have become a joke to the public of the Chengguo Palace. If it is Zhu Zhijie, Yes, I sent the woman and child he raised outside to you, and asked you to torture the couple. I am considered the number one person." Ning Tong said, "You can definitely kill them. You are raised in a random place outside. With your status, is it difficult to get a mansion?"
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "What I want is the identity of your woman, or the identity of the former wife of Marquis Anbian. "Come over and be polite later, it will be very beneficial to you in the future."
"Can I talk to her?" Ning Tong said.
"You can ask about simple communication, such as what to eat or drink, what the weather is like today, or how you are feeling, but don't ask about family matters or background." Zhang Zhou said with a smile, "Ning someone, I don't have to give you a difficult problem, but you don't have the motivation to face the difficulties. If things go wrong, you won't be able to reap the benefits."
"Since this person is so important, you Why do you want to keep her here? I don’t agree.”
Ning Tong adopted a business-dealing attitude.
I didn’t object before because I wanted to trap Zhang Zhou, but now I object more because I want to bargain with Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhou looked at Ning Tong with disapproval and said with emotion, "You haven't made any progress since you left Chengguo Palace. You were taken advantage of when making friends, and you were schemed against when doing business. Now I'll give you proof." You still deny me your own opportunity, and you deserve to end up where you are now."
Ning Tong, that's a shame.
Zhang Zhou was simply using the tone of a superior person to teach her a lesson, and that feeling made her crazy.
The little self-esteem was beaten all over, and he almost burst into flames and pushed Zhang Zhou to the ground and beat him up.
The person was brought in by Ning Tong.
Ning Tong has been looking at Xiaolian silently.
"Miss Xiaolian, Ning Tong." Zhang Zhou introduced the two parties with a smile, "This Miss Ning is not simple. She used to be the wife of Marquis Anbian, but they divorced and now runs it alone. This Hangfen shop. Miss Ning, why don’t you take Miss Xiaolian to see her room?”
Xiaolian is obviously very sensible.
She was from a humble background. When she saw that the other party was from a noble family and was a typical official woman with a strong background, she naturally wanted to give Ning Tong a gift.
This makes Ning Tong feelI felt that Zhang Zhou was scaring himself before.
If it is really the foreign residence of a prince and nobleman, why would he be so polite to a former marquise?
Going to the backyard and arranging the room, Zhang Zhou found peace and harmony from home. Jixiang's two maids also arrived.
"They are responsible for moving things in the backyard, chopping wood and lighting fires, and they are very diligent." Zhang Zhou explained to Ning Tong and Xiao Lian together.
Ning Tong seemed not satisfied with having so many people in her family at once.
Zhang Zhou immediately asked Ping An to hand over the wooden box he had brought over, and then handed it to Ning Tong. "The reward for you will not be opened until privately. I don't want them to do anything here." "Ning Tong was impatient. She opened the wooden box slightly, and when she saw what was inside, she seemed relieved again.
For a woman who has to live alone and go out to make a living, money is her most important thing.
Zhang Zhou arranged everything and was about to leave.
"Are you busy? Why can't you sit down and talk?" Ning Tong and Zhang Zhou arrived at the store and said urgently.
Zhang Zhou turned back and looked at her.
For some reason, Zhang Zhou felt in his heart that Ning Tong, whose face had been smeared like a monkey's butt, was more honest and simple in his eyes.
After thinking about it carefully, it probably represents a woman who is busy with her career, which is also a rare quality for women in this era.
Zhang Zhou said, "I'm not lying to you. Your sister from the Chen family is working with me now. I have occupied her property, but not her people. I have a lovely wife and concubine at home. There is no need to find her." She must be a homeless girl."
"How is she now?" Ning Tong seemed to feel that she had been wronged sincerely, but she still wanted to know whether the Chen family daughter had betrayed her or had no choice but to leave her.
Zhang Zhou was no longer willing to attack Ning Tong's self-esteem.
"She is making money to pay off her debts now. If she didn't come to you, she wouldn't owe so much foreign debt. You hurt her, but you also indirectly helped her. I need to run the mine now, so I must Someone came out as a cover. As a businessman, she is very suitable to help me, but you are not suitable. You also know why." Zhang Zhou said.
Ning Tong’s face was as angry as a frog’s, and she said, “Because I am an official.”
Zhang Zhou said, “So you are suitable for running a shop like this, and you can even help me do some things that others do. Nothing can be done. Take good care of the girl Xiaolian inside, and if you take good care of her, you can still have contact with her in the future, which means you have a meal ticket for the rest of your life."
"What is a meal ticket?" Tong frowned.
Zhang Zhou shrugged, "It's equivalent to a golden rice bowl."
In Zhang Zhou's opinion, if Ning Tong can become best friends with the emperor's future concubine, she will even be able to enter and leave the palace in the future. , it is not easy to make her rouge and gouache business bigger and stronger. What is more important is that she will obtain a political resource that others cannot obtain. For herFor this woman who wants to be independent in society, this resource is irreplaceable.
Having hinted at this, Zhang Zhou thought to himself, it’s better for you, a stupid woman, to figure it out on your own.
While she wants to be a woman in the new era, she has little social experience. She is probably the kind of beauty whose heart is as high as the sky and her destiny is as thin as paper.
Inside the palace.
Zhang Zhou reported his "results" to Zhu Youtang.
When Zhu Youtang knew that his "beloved concubine" had a new residence, his heart seemed to fly there again. This forced Zhang Zhou to think about whether it was what Zhu Youtang was thinking about. His beloved concubine is Ning Tong
"Bingkuan, without further ado, I will take you to see the queen today."
Zhu Youtang seems to be eager to complete the wedding. The concubine’s feat.
Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty, things have to be done step by step. To make the Queen believe in some kind of destiny, you must first create an impression on her. How can it be done overnight?"
"Oh"
Zhu Youtang’s eyes lit up.
Suddenly, the former strict wife and the best husband in the Ming Dynasty became very interested in how to fool his wife with his friends.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude. Now I have to teach your Majesty some words." Zhang Zhou said.
"Quick, tell me. I will do as you say."
Duan Jingdian.
After lunch, Zhu Houzhao felt gloomy, but he was told that Zhang Zhou was here.
He was only slightly interested because Zhang Zhou hadn't brought him anything interesting recently. Every time he came, he just taught him lessons according to the established procedures, and all he taught were the Four Books. Contents of the Five Classics.
"Mr. Zhang, can we talk about something different today?" Zhu Houzhao didn't even get up to greet him, he just sat there, looking at Zhang Zhou drowsily.
Zhang Zhou said, "Congratulations, Prince, you are leaving the army."
"What?" Zhu Houzhao stared.
Zhang Zhou also sat on the chair next to him and sighed, "I have basically finished teaching the things I can teach. The things I can't teach will have to wait for you to teach again in a few years, so we The teacher-student friendship can come to an end."
"You, you"
Zhu Houzhao said angrily, "I have learned all the nonsense you said, but the Classics and History Collection. With so much content, how dare you talk about learning after teaching? Isn’t it just reviewing the past and learning the new?”
Zhang Zhouxin said, you still know how to review the past and learn the new
Who can take you seriously with your material? Being a teacher is a bad thing, so you can tell whoever is left behind as your teacher
"Prince, you can leave the knowledge to other lecturers in the East Palace to explain to you. As I said, Those who can teach are no different from them, so there is no need to bother them in the future."
"But I don't like to hear what they teach."
"Your Majesty said it, Prince. If you can’t learn with your heart, then teach behind closed doors.”
“Zhang Bingkuan,You are very rude, do you know that you can't teach me, so you want to instigate your father to confine the palace?" Zhu Houzhao was furious.
But he just couldn't do anything to Zhang Zhou.
"That minister But I can't control it. My mission is to teach the prince some necessary knowledge. Now that it's basically completed, I still have another important thing to complete in the future, which is to pacify the grassland. In the future, I won't be able to calm down and teach the prince. ”
When Zhang Zhou said this, Zhu Houzhao’s previous negative emotions were swept away.
Zhu Houzhao’s buttocks were still on his chair, but he dragged the chair towards Zhang Zhou. He leaned closer and asked, "Can we plan it together?"
"No way," Zhang Zhou said.
"You"
Zhu Houzhao found out that he was going to talk to him today. It is not easy for Zhang to communicate normally.
Zhang Zhou said, "Prince, it's like this. You are not old enough now and you can't make the decision on major matters. If I make progress quickly, the grassland will be pacified in the next year." , then the prince can only”
“That’s enough,” Zhu Houzhao said angrily, “Just tell Mr. Zhang, what do you want me to do so that you can’t level the grassland within this year?”
p>"Hey, are you trying to ruin His Majesty's plan?" Zhang Zhou frowned.
In anger, Zhu Houzhao almost wanted to say, "You don't want me to kill the king and kill my father." Well, then I will become the emperor, and then you can help me pacify the grassland and establish a legacy that will last forever
Zhang Zhou said, "Prince, if I am in Beijing from now on, I will only be able to come and see you once a month." It won't last more than half an hour. I can't teach anymore, and I'm just here to make jokes and talk about life ideals with you. "
Zhu Houzhao""
"It is basically impossible for you to come out of the palace to see me. Your Majesty knows that you have the idea of escaping from the palace, and will send more people in the future. Come here and guard, you can get out through the first door, don't even think about the second door and the palace door. You are so tall, so easy to recognize. "
"" Zhu Houzhao continued to be speechless.
Zhang Zhou said, "But, I have taken on a new job. When you are twelve or thirteen years old, I may teach you some horseback riding. This knowledge is specially approved by His Majesty. It's too early to tell. "
Zhu Houzhao said angrily, "You are here to say goodbye today."
"I didn't say goodbye. I said I would come again in the future. Even if I only go to Qianqing Palace in the future, I will raise my head. We’ll see you later. Prince, please don’t make it sound like we are saying farewell forever. "Zhang Zhou had an indifferent look on his face.
Gao Feng, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand listening anymore and hurriedly asked, "Sir, even if today is the last class, you can tell me more." ”
Zhang Zhou said, “Forget it, we have won another battle in the grassland and the great victory at Huangshui. The news has just reached the capital, and now it is making an uproar. I don’t have so much time to teach the prince the Four Books and Five Classics.” ”
“Ah Dajie, what Dajie won another battle? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Zhu Houzhao felt that he had missed 100 million.
Zhang Zhoutan Spread your hands and say "Prince, you are still too young. It's a pity that you can't help me and fight alongside me. Moreover, the prince's knowledge is not very good. This knowledge is the most critical element of Pingcai. If I just teach you the art of war, you don't know the allusions or the history. How can I explain it to you and how can I discuss it with you?"
"You" Zhu Houzhao, no matter how stupid he was at this time, actually realized that Zhang Zhou was trying to persuade him to learn in disguise.
The general meaning is that if you don't learn, I won't play with you.
Expect me to teach you in the future
I’m sorry, this guy is so awesome right now, he can fight wherever he wants and win wherever he wants, so there’s no need to teach you how to gain anything by being a prince. Honor, is it better to hang out with His Majesty than with a naughty kid like you? If you don’t learn well in the future, we will become strangers.
Who said we should let you, a naughty boy, study hard? We can only meet every day. This time it depends on your face, this way
Donggong's official can't beat you, he can't scold you, and he has to be angry with you.
But I don't need to be angry. .
Humph
Dissatisfied
Stop it for me
Gao Feng hurriedly followed the words and asked, "What if the prince improves his knowledge?" , if you can keep up with Mr. Zhang’s military strategy, will you teach the prince again?"
"It depends on your mood. "Zhang Zhou said, "A child of this age, in my family, is just a naughty kid who gets beaten all day long but can never correct himself. The prince wants to study hard and keep up with my pace in the art of war."
"Zhang Bingkuan, don't think that I don't know that you are using the method of provoking generals." Zhu Houzhao continued to be angry.
< p>Zhang Zhouzhou said with disdain, "Whether you learn or not depends on your mood. Whether you learn or not has nothing to do with me. If the Ming Dynasty only relied on bragging, it would not matter whether there is a prince in the future." ""It's too much to bully others." Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth and claws.
Zhang Zhou stood up suddenly and was already walking out. "By the way, Prince, let me tell you again. As for me, I may have a little trouble recently. The errand is to calculate the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. There are too many things to do before the year, so I won’t come here yet. You take care of yourself. "
"It's best not to see anyone care about you in this life." Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he didn't look at Zhang Zhou, let alone send him off.
Zhang Zhou nodded and said, "That's good, next. When they met for the first time, the prince was already an adult. We meet each other in the mountains and rivers, and I hope that we will have the opportunity to sit down and discuss the governance of the country in the future.
