Ming dynasty grand dude

Fang Zhi has found out about Zhang Lun's talents and learning through various channels, and even that time he went to the dock with the idea of ​​finding out.

And why did Fang Zhi spare no effort to promote Zhang Lun to take the imperial examination in Suzhou? !

The reason is simple, no matter how old and pedantic Fang Zhi is, since he has stepped into the official career, he naturally has the heart to aspire to the cabinet.

Who is Zhang Lun? !This is someone who will be used by the future emperor and cabinet!

And relying on Zhang Jiaxungui's status as the number one favored person, he can be like a fish in water among the noble group.

The reason why Zhang Lun was encouraged to study in this Suzhou Prefecture was because Fang Zhi wanted to be Zhang Lun's teacher!

In this Great Ming Dynasty, which paid attention to etiquette and human feelings, the relationship between the teacher and the disciple was very delicate.

Students must recite the kindness of the teacher's admission, and the teacher must show the care of the students.

The relationship between master and disciple continued from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and its closeness was second only to the father and son of the monarch and his ministers, and it remained unchanged throughout life.

If the master suffers and the disciple ignores it, it will be considered as disrespectful of etiquette and human feelings, so there is no way to get along.

Fang Zhiti's status as a censor allowed him to become the main examiner of the township examination. As long as Zhang Lun recorded his status as a teacher in this subject, he would not run away!

As long as this identity is determined, even if Fang Zhi cannot enter the cabinet in the future, he can rely on this wealthy and powerful disciple to take care of him and travel freely in the official world!

"These old foxes..." After leaving Fang Zhi's home, Zhang Lun led Tang Bohu and a group of old soldiers and said with a wry smile.

Tang Bohu wanted to ask something, but Zhang Lun just waved his hand and said it was all right!Go back to the boat!

Qinhuai Fengyue Zhang Lun saw it, and really regretted it.

The main reason is that this kind of body and bones can't jump on a horse and shoot in all directions, but it's impossible to get a beautiful woman with pure wine.

Zhang Lun's torment can be imagined, so he simply drove Tang Bohu to Suzhou in the name of studying.

And Xu Jing has been busy printing "A Chinese Ghost Story" recently, and quickly sold it for silver.

If he didn't know that it was a good time to use Zhang Lun to make Jinling famous, he would quickly print "A Chinese Ghost Story" and sell it for money.

Zhang Lun will beat this evil disciple to death and hang him on the city gate, where he will dry it out and drink during the New Year.

Xu Jing still has to sort out the Taohuawu of his senior brother Tang Bohu, although there are already villas and peach forests there.

But at that time Xu Tingguang came and went in a hurry, he just supervised the construction of a house and planted peach trees and flowers before rushing back to the capital.

It would be reluctant to let Tang Bohu live here, but now that Zhang Lun is here, it is naturally impossible.

Tang Bohu directly saved his own life this time, what Xu Jing didn't tell others was that he was already desperate at that time.

Even if the torture was longer, he would really confess everything according to the other party's request.

What makes Xu Jing more excited is that the sales of Zhang Lun's new storybook are not so good!

Xu Jingjia himself is very rich and collects ancient books all the year round, so he has a very good relationship with many Suzhou and Hangzhou booksellers.

Ancient books at home often need to be reprinted with engraving blocks, so it is not difficult to call engravers.

As for book sales, it is even simpler. Xu Jing went directly to the bookstore and said: This is the new work of my teacher Youdu Yemengyu!

None of the owners in the bookshop refused, and Zhang Lun's song "Linjiang Immortal" written on the river has already spread throughout Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Besides, "Legend of the White Snake" is the bestseller, whoever doesn't rush to sell it in his bookstore is really a fool.

With a group of old soldiers, Zhang Lun rushed to Tang Bohu's Taohuawu.

Looking at Taohuawu, he was immediately very satisfied, even Tang Bohu himself was a little stunned.

Get down from the pier and follow the avenue out of the city for a few miles, and you can see the peach grove from a distance.

In the peach forest far away in the setting sun, you can see the cobbled path winding in the peach forest, and the cornice roof in the depths looms like a Miao Temple in the deep mountain.

Walk along the cobblestone path for about two hundred steps, and you will see a mansion faintly visible outside the peach grove.

The white walls and gray tiles occupy a huge area, and there are boys waiting in front of the door. When Zhang Lun and others come, they quickly turn around and open the door, bowing and waiting.

Chapter 43 Bohu's New Residence, Taohuawu Courtyard

"Brother~!" But there was a person rushing out from the door, it was Tang Yin's younger brother Tang Shen!

Although Tang Shen was already in his twenties at this time, his reputation was not obvious and his temperament was rather cowardly.

So much so that the sister-in-law and the maid left the book and ran away, and there was nothing he could do about it.

He also went to report to the officials, but it was a pity that his elder brother Tang Bohu's life and death in the capital was uncertain at that time, and he was likely to be devastated.

So much so that the Suzhou government was too lazy to even meet him, just perfunctory.

"Second brother~!" Tang Yin was naturally excited when he saw his younger brother!The two brothers hugged each other and burst into tears.

Zhang Lun touched his nose in embarrassment, Tang Yin took a while to react and introduced Zhang Lun to his younger brother.

Then, under Tang Shen's guidance, they entered the mansion.

After entering the mansion, Zhang Lun couldn't help sighing, Xu Jing is really willing to spend money in it!

Entering the gate is a small courtyard surrounded by ancient trees, and in front of the courtyard is a huge shadow wall that blocks the view from outside the gate.

Xu Jing had already been waiting in front of the screen wall with a smile on his face, greeted his mentor and senior brother, and then led them back around the screen wall.

Behind the screen wall is a lawn with a stone path, and the peach branches are swaying with the wind.

Not far from the stone path is a pond and water pavilion. Although it is not big, water gushes out from the rockery to form a gurgling stream.There are even pavilions standing in between.

On the right side of the water pavilion, there are seven or eight sets of guest rooms facing the water pavilion. There are pavilions in the middle and a small courtyard behind.Right in front of the waterside pavilion is a two-story mansion with a front hall.After that, it should be the back house.

Going forward from the left side of the water pavilion is the reception hall, from which you can see the scenery of the water pavilion and drink tea and chat.Go to the front hall and back, but it is the dining room.

When you come out of the dining room, you can see a small path leading to the arched moon gate with bamboo walls planted on the side, and the small courtyard around the dining room is actually a stream paved with small pebbles, and there are koi carps in the stream. .

Behind the bridge is a pavilion, and there are sheltered bamboo forests in the front and back.There is another door on the wall behind the bamboo forest.That door leads to the kitchen and servant's room at the back, which is convenient for serving food to the dining room at any time without noise and smoke.

"Father Heng has a heart..." Looking at this house, Tang Bohu couldn't help feeling emotional.At this time, Xu Jing hurriedly brought people over, and upon hearing Tang Bohu's words, he couldn't help bowing his head and saying: "Senior brother, you are serious..."

Xu Jing actually felt ashamed of Tang Bohu, if not for him, Tang Bohu would not have been involved in the Chunwei case.And if it wasn't for Tang Bohu, he wouldn't be in a life-and-death dilemma now.

This time, even though one subject was revoked and the examination was canceled, there is still a chance to take the examination again after all!Even if you don't become an official, as long as you are admitted to Juren, you will have an account in your life.

This yard is huge, but the problem is that Zhang Lun brought too many people!There are dozens of old soldiers, and there are only more than [-] guest rooms in the front and back of the house. As for the servants, Xu Jing just found a few big-footed women and cooks from Ren Yazi.

There was no other way, Zhang Lun could only arrange for everyone to squeeze together.Fortunately, those old soldiers who lived on the water had to watch that the warships couldn't get off, otherwise Tang Bohu's new house would really be overcrowded.

Fortunately, Xu Jing had considered this situation before, so there is a yard on the side of Taoyuan that is being repaired.Tang Bohu had a foundation in the beginning, so it was easy to repair, and he spent more money to hire some craftsmen to catch up and it came out.

But the one on the side for Zhang Lun will take longer.

Zhang Lun didn't care too much. He rested for one night and arranged for some old soldiers to live in a nearby inn the next day. He first built a thatched hut outside the yard.

He didn't want to be crowded in Tang Bohu's yard, so he asked Xu Jing to build himself a thatched hut similar to the one in Zhangjiazhuang.It is enough to set up a school field to practice riding, shooting, boxing and knives.

The grass hut was built very quickly. Xu Jing was willing to pay dozens of craftsmen to tamp the ground, but it took only three to five days for Zhang Lun to live in it.

Xu Jing felt rather embarrassed, so he called Ren Yazi to buy a girl for Zhang Lun.Zhang Lun originally refused, but Xu Jing and Tang Bohu felt very sorry for this, and insisted on finding a maid to serve their mentor.

They felt that it was suffering when their mentor came here, and they didn't even have a cleaning and serving girl to live in thatched cottage.

And Zhang Lun himself is not hypocritical about the fact that he has not been equipped with a girl all the time, the main reason is that he feels wrong no matter how hard he makes a little lolita serve him!

Zhang Lun's requirements for girls in his previous life were: breasts, buttocks, fat, long legs, winks like silk, and high skills!Even if Tong Yan took Mount Everest, he would accept it.But what the hell is going on with a loli with no breasts and no butt for Laozi? !

Especially when you take a bath, it's not a concept at all for this girl with big breasts to rub your back and for a loli body to rub your back!Zhang Lun doesn't control loli, every time he thinks of a little loli with no breasts and no butt to rub his back, he will sternly refuse with a full face!

Brother die!Do I still have to cosplay Brother Haier with her in the bathroom? !

To find a maid, you have to find someone who satisfies your mentor, right? !So, Xu Jing asked Ren Yazi in the Ya shop to lead them over.What I want is a cook, and two big-footed women who do the cleaning.And the most important thing is the maid for the teacher.

Xu Jing also discussed it with Tang Bohu, and felt that the maid of his mentor must not be too young.It can't be too big, you have to be able to cook tea, grind tea, wait for dressing and washing.

The cook is easy to handle, after trying the dishes of three cooks, it is settled.Two of the big-footed women had served rich families, and they knew a little about how to deal with people. Zhang Lun looked at them and picked two to keep.

The trouble is the maidservant, seven or eight Zhang Lun came in a row and refused immediately after seeing that they were all little lolitas.On the other hand, the little lolis couldn't help feeling a little silly when they saw this Mr. Yu.

Sigh~ People are good-looking, but they are more troublesome.Crouching Dragon's eyebrows on Zhang Lun's beautiful red phoenix peach blossom slightly frowned, seeing those little lolitas blushed even more, and then they left feeling sad and regretful...

"Is there no suitable person?!" Seeing that his mentor was dissatisfied, Xu Jing couldn't help frowning at this toothmaid.This old woman panicked too, who in Suzhou Manor doesn't know about the wealthy Xu family and famous scholar Tang Bohu? !

Although both of them have been stripped of their official status, haven't you heard someone mention Fang Xin's theory of studying the censor's local chronicle? !That's just staying for a few more years, people's talents can easily be on the gold list!

How can such a master be offended by a mere prostitute? !

Chapter 44 Car and boat shop feet and teeth, innocent should be killed

There is an old saying at this time that "the feet and teeth of the car and boat shop should be killed if they are innocent", and the "teeth" in it refers to their teeth.Moreover, the human tooth is still the lowest in the tooth shop. If the master scholar said he would kill her, he would kill her.The government would never even be lazy to ask a question.

However, the so-called "car and boat shop feet and teeth should be killed even if they are innocent" is not without reason.

Take the heroes in "Water Margin" as an example, the dwarf tiger Wang Ying was born in a car dealership.What is he doing? !He naturally greets you with a smile when picking you up in the crowd, but it's hard to say when the car drives to the wilderness...

How did Wang Ying get to Liangshan? !It was on the way that he saw a fortune, robbed a guest, was arrested, and then escaped from prison to Luocao, Qingfeng Mountain, Qingzhou, and officially became a bandit.

If you say that the owner of the car dealer doesn't care?Of course they don't care, anyway, the handlebars paid them a share of the money, why should I care about him? !Something happened, and the government wanted me to say that I didn't know and it was over.

Anyone who can drive a car is able to talk in the government office, and the government will at most arrest the handlebars, but they will not embarrass the car dealer.Maybe that car dealership still has a stake in Mr. Juren. When they see that your county magistrate doesn't even kneel, they just say "Old Father Taiwan".

Let's talk about the boatmen, basically all the leaders of the water army in "Water Margin" have invited people to eat "chaos" and "ban knife noodles", which is the so-called "private business".

What do you mean by "doing private business"?Even after negotiating the price and taking you to Jiangxin, if you raise the price when you open your mouth, you have to take cash.do not give? !Go down the river by yourself!

Hmm... This is similar to some black tour guides in Zhang Lun's era. When you get to the place, you don't pay and get out.But they are a little worse, that is, they invite guests to eat "chaos" and "bandao noodles".

So, what is eating "Chaos" and "Ban Dao Nian"? !It means money and life! "Chaos" is tied up and thrown into the river. "Ban Dao Mian" is just as the name suggests: it is chopped up and thrown into the river.

In addition, Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang, who opened a human flesh steamed stuffed bun shop and poured sweat medicine, turned the human medicine into fat and made steamed stuffed buns to fill the river, it was not a fun thing.

The porters are similar to the handlebars, and they are all ganged up together.Young scholars and traveling merchants, if they look like they have money and are old and weak, they may find a deserted road to kill you and take the money.

As for the tooth shop, it is not far from the modern black intermediary.Shoddy goods, forced buying and selling, cheating and abducting... Even seeing that you were alone and still carrying silver taels, they teamed up with the shopkeeper to kill you and bury you in the yard, and they did it after dividing your silver.

To put it bluntly, this group of people is the kind who are serious and ruthless.

Human teeth are the cheapest type in the dental industry. To put it bluntly, they are human traffickers.They usually have benefactors behind them, and even those who may be Juren lords.

They give filial piety, and the masters usually give them a little protection.They have taken children, young adults, and girls from poor families for sale, and they also have recruited and trained domestic servants, maidservants, and big-footed women from poor families for sale.

If such people were ordinary yamen servants, they would definitely not dare to take care of them. Who knows which master is standing behind them? !The county magistrate can't do anything to those juren lords, and they are even more lethargic.

But if they also offended Lord Juren, then the benefactor behind them would definitely not say a word.

So when Xu Jing frowned, the toothmaid panicked.He didn't care about praising that young master in his heart just now, he really is the reincarnation of Elder Tang, and he is so handsome that he doesn't look like a mortal.

Hurry up and think about whether you still have the girl that Master Xu asked for...

"Yes! There is another one, but it's just a bit older..." Zhang Lun's eyes lit up when the matchmaker said it!What they thought was old was basically what he thought was just right.

So he waved his hand and said: "It's okay to be a little older, but if you are too young, you will jump out. If it is too noisy, it will not help me to study. And bring someone here for me to have a look."

Hearing Zhang Lun's words, the toothmaid couldn't help being shocked, and immediately felt that this young man was really kind-hearted and kind-hearted, like Elder Tang, who is so handsome and kind-hearted!

"So that the young master knows that the girl is not very old. But Xu Shiliu used to be a concubine from an official family, but after her family's decline, she was sold to someone else's family to be a maid..."

While introducing, the woman-mother-in-law winked and asked the woman who came with her to go outside to the carriage to lead people.Listening to the introduction of the toothmaid, Zhang Lun also had a little understanding of the girl's situation.

My mother was a famous prostitute and then she ran away with her father. Because of such a mother, she learned from piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and history classics since she was a child.It's a pity that she is a concubine and a daughter.

So when her mother died of illness, and her father was reprimanded for dissipating the family wealth to save her life, she became precarious.What's even more unfortunate is that her father died of illness not long after, so the original spouse planned to marry her off in exchange for a fortune.

Unexpectedly, because of his father's affairs, many people are afraid of being implicated, so they dare not marry her.The original partner then thought of another idea, which was to sell her.

Selling to a brothel has a bad reputation, and people have to say that she is mean.At this time, a former colleague of her father wanted to find a maid who could read and write for her daughter to accompany her, so she was sold to the colleague's home.

It's a pity that she has only stayed for two years, and the mistress of the family felt that she might hook up with her son or husband in the future with her vicious face, so she was forcibly sold to Ren Yazi and expelled from the house.

Hearing what the toothmaid said, Zhang Lun was curious.What exactly does this woman look like will make the mistress feel a sense of crisis and want to sell her out.

After a while, a girl at least 1.6 meters tall, wearing a plain dress, walked in slowly under the guidance of the big-footed lady.

Seeing this girl, Zhang Lun felt that the mistress of the family said that she was a little bit biased.He obviously has an oval face, and he has "spring mountains with green willow leaf eyebrows, autumn water with dust-free apricot eyes".

Where did the foxy image come from? !But when the big-footed woman in front of the tall girl gave up the girl's figure, Zhang Lun knew why she was considered a vixen by the mistress.

Without him, have a broad mind!And it's so wide!Based on Zhang Lun's experience in test-driving different models of different countries for many years in his previous life, he came to a conclusion in an instant:

The car is 1.66 meters long and 16 years old.It is an original domestic car, the lights, frame, body...all original.The brightness of the car lights, if measured by the standards of future generations, can be as bright as g-shade!
