Civil servants of the Tang Dynasty

As Tang Cheng talked more and more, the smile on Wu Yujun's face became less and less.

Chapter 97 It's Not Sure

After Tang Cheng finished speaking, Wu Yujun picked up the wine cup in front of him and took a sip, then let out a long mouthful of alcohol, "Old Yao is so tricky! Brother, is there any solid evidence for this matter? I want solid proof! In April you After coming here, my brother-in-law tried verbally for a while, and Ma Laoer was very protective of that Yao Dongqi! It would be easy to transfer him away as originally thought, but now he is going to deal with his criminal case, and there is no hard evidence to support him. No! After all, he is also an official in the Ministry of Officials."

"Brother Wu, don't worry, Ke Changming, the leader of the bandit, left a confession before his death. Even when Yao Qingguo forced Ke Changming to death, the prisoner heard it. There are as many confessions as witnesses. I will bring them to the city this time. That's it." Tang Chengshun took the wine cup in his hand and refilled Wu Yujun's wine, "If there is no solid evidence, I would not dare to ask Brother Wu to introduce you to the envoy."

In fact, based on the evidence in hand, there is no need to see Shijun Sun alone at all, but there is an old horse lying in the middle, he should not drive, such things usually go through his hands according to the procedure, and then transferred to him. Sun Shijun made a decision in his hands, for fear that there might be some mistakes in the middle, although the possibility of this kind of possibility is very small, Tang Cheng decided to follow Zhao Huhu's instructions, and the two parties found Zhang Sima and Sun Shijun respectively, and thoroughly settled the matter. He was killed all at once, leaving no possibility of accidents at all.

This Wu Yujun is also a straightforward person who acts according to the routine, "It's good to have solid evidence. I will accept this matter, but it really won't work tonight. My brother-in-law's old lady just arrived in Jinzhou today. No matter how big it is tonight, I will give it to you." I won’t meet foreigners either, I’ll go see my sister tomorrow morning, if my brother-in-law is free tomorrow at noon, I’ll take you there after we’re done.”

"Thank you so much Brother Wu." Tang Chenggong cupped his hands, and when he was about to greet the younger brother who was waiting outside to call him a song girl, he saw Wu Yujun wave his hand: "Brother, wait a minute, I still have one thing to do here." You help."

"Oh! Brother Wu, just say what you have to say."

"Remember the last time brother you said that you are a native of Yunxi?"

Tang Cheng didn't understand why Wu Yujun would ask this, "Yes, my native place is in Yunxi, and I grew up here."

"That's good." Wu Yujun rubbed his hands with a smile, "I heard that there is a place in Yunxi that produces a fish that is not produced in other places. By the way, it is called peach petals. Do you know this brother?"

When Wu Yujun said this, Tang Cheng couldn't help laughing, "I don't know if there are any, Quanyunxi only has peach petals in the river about ten miles outside our village, and there are no other places."

"What a coincidence! Brother Tang, I won't ask anyone else for this matter. I pointed out that you should get me some peach petals." At this point, Wu Yujun smiled, "My sister only asked me to come down in the afternoon, and I met you in the evening." You, this matter is in a hurry, hey, what a coincidence!".

Tang Cheng and Wu Yujun didn't know the reason until they drank a cup together. In Tang Dynasty, there was a saying that the northern sheep and the southern fish were famous. At that time, the southerners ate fish a lot, and Sun Shijun's old mother was even more inseparable. Sun Shijun sent home some preserved fish of all kinds produced in Jinzhou, and the old lady had a special liking for the peach petals.

Peach petals are really rare fish. I don’t know if it’s because they ate too many wild peach blossoms by the river. This fish has pink scales on its body. It’s not the same as the red carp in the Yellow River. The petals are not all red, but red and white, not to mention the delicate and slightly peach-flavored fish meat is delicious, the appearance alone is a must.

People in Tang Dynasty love to eat "fresh" fish. Generally, the most expensive fish are cut up and eaten right away. In the past, there was no other way. This time, when the old lady arrived in Jinzhou, she mentioned that she wanted to eat peach petals during lunch. fresh fish!Although Mrs. Wu, who was born in Sun Shijun's family, was very jealous, she was filial to her mother-in-law. She called her younger brother after dinner and solemnly explained the matter.

When it comes to Mrs. Wu's filial piety to her mother-in-law, Wu Yujun is a little tasteless, implying that his elder sister has never cared so much for her younger brother!However, Tang Cheng felt quite different when he heard these words. Sun Shijun, the ruler of the whole family, was so afraid of internal affairs. What he was afraid of was not only Madam Wu's majesty. Mother's respect and love.

After all, the fear born of fierceness does not last long, especially in a society like the present, with Sun Shijun's status; but the fear born out of respect and love is more likely to last long.

Madam Wu's reputation of being good at taming husbands is well known in Jinzhou, and many people who have heard of it despise her for being fierce, but how many people know her piety and filial piety in addition to being fierce?

This matter is not difficult, since Wu Yujun has opened his mouth, even if it is a more difficult matter, Tang Cheng will try his best to handle it, so he nodded and promised not to mention it.After talking about the business, I started to greet Xiaoer and call the singer to come in.

There are still two singers and two prostitutes, so the wine is lively, and it is inevitable to gossip while drinking. Wu Yujun talks most about the business affairs of the various houses in the city. Listening to his gossip, Tang Suddenly, I remembered the matter of tung oil. Li Yingwan's shop has a small capital and less capital. The most important thing is that there is a big shop in the city ahead, which can't handle such a big business, but if Wu Yujun is also brought in...

Just seeing Wu Yujun rubbing his hands in the prostitute's arms, Tang Cheng knew that he might not be able to listen to what he said now, so he didn't open his mouth to say it right now.

That Wu Yujun is also a wonderful person, and he couldn't help but go to the guest room at the back halfway. Tang Chengyuan thought that he must be sleeping outside tonight, but after more than half an hour, he unexpectedly came back Son came to say goodbye.

Wu Yujun, who was full of alcohol, was wearing the button on his clothes, and looked inside. When he saw that the prostitute who accompanied Tang Cheng just now was not in the room, the obscene smile on his face disappeared immediately. "Hey, where's Cui Cui?"

"I'm too tired to travel today, so I sent her back." Tang Cheng's words made Wu Yujun smack his lips, "That girl has such a fine body, you just let her go!".

"You have to take care of your bones, don't you!" Tang Cheng replied with a smile and asked, "But why are you willing to give up on Little Fen Taoer? It's time to hurry up and leave?".

Wu Yujun's answer really made Tang Cheng speechless, but it turned out that Mrs. Wu had set a dead rule for her younger brother, no matter how many entertainments, no matter how late it was, she had to go home and go to bed. Tight, even the younger brother did not let go.

Tang Cheng laughed secretly from the bottom of his heart, but since Mrs. Shi was involved in the matter, he couldn't say anything, so he put on his clothes and sent it.

Walking out of the guest room at the back of Baohe Building, the cool night wind blew the two of them shivering together, but their minds cleared up a lot. After looking at each other and smiling, Tang Cheng walked forward with Wu Yujun and talked about The tung oil thing.

Wu Yujun, who was yawning at the beginning, was still a little careless, but the more he listened to the expression on his face, the more serious he became. He didn't even get on the carriage. He just waved his hand to signal the driver to wait and listen carefully to Tang Cheng's words. .

"News from the morning newspaper?" Wu Yujun patted Tang Cheng's shoulder after listening, "Okay, Brother Tang has me in his heart! Let's talk about this matter tomorrow when we meet."

Tang Cheng knew that Wu Yujun must have asked Mrs. Wu before he dared to speak, so he nodded without saying anything, and watched him get into the car.

After he finished his busy work here, he returned to the room and just lay down when Zhang Xiangwen came back, but Mr. Gan didn't follow him. After asking, he found out that Mr. Gan was actually kept by Zhang Sima. If it wasn't for Zhang Xiangwen If it was his own nephew, and he insisted on leaving, he might have to be left behind tonight.

After Zhang Xiangwen entered the room, he went straight to the couch and lay down. Originally, because of what happened last night, Tang Cheng felt a little strange when he saw Zhang Xiangwen today. Now when he saw his tired and lazy look, the strange feeling that had just been born suddenly disappeared. Scattered and empty, stretched out his legs and kicked him, "Stop pretending to be a dead dog, hurry up and tell me about seeing your second uncle."

"Isn't it just as tired as a dead dog today!" Tang Cheng kicked, and Zhang Xiangwen lay on the couch even harder, squinting his eyes and yawning, "I read Ke Changming's confession, and I also listened to what Old Gan said. Yes, my second uncle specifically asked who sent me here? What else can I say?"

"Who sent you here? Why did Zhang Sima ask this?".

"A few years ago, my third uncle was an outrageous gangster. Even my father said he was a useless person. It was all thanks to Mr. Hu who brought my third uncle back and dragged him into the county government office. Later, he was promoted to be the general manager. arrest, so my family really owes a great favor to Mr. Hu." When Zhang Xiangwen talked about Zhao Huhu, although his tone was still lazy, the respect in his words was real. Master Hu didn't send me here, just looking at Ma Biejia's face, my second uncle would not rashly intervene in Lao Yao's affairs."

Hearing this, Tang Chengzhen didn't know what to say. People in Yunxi County only know that Zhang Ziwen, the chief arrester, is Zhao Huhu's sworn brother. How many people know that Zhang Ziwen's brother is from the state government office? The third in command Zhang Sima?Everyone in the county government knew that Master Yao was standing behind the horse, and how many people knew that the inconspicuous Zhao Huhu could make Zhang Sima owe such a big favor?

The water in the yamen is really deep!

After driving for a day, Tang Cheng ran to this time again at night. Seeing that Zhang Xiangwen's eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't support them anymore, Tang Cheng didn't ask him anything else, and urged him to go to bed quickly. I can't get up, and I muttered that I can't even stand up on my legs, so I have to sleep here tonight.

After pushing twice, only Zhang Xiangwen groaned a few times. Seeing this, Tang Cheng smiled wryly and shook his head. He tore off the shoes on his feet, and then took off the belt, pulling it twice like rubbing meatballs. After taking off Zhang Xiangwen's outer shirt, Tang Cheng took one side of the jacquard quilt and covered him up. Zhang Xiangwen didn't open his eyes in a daze, and let Tang Cheng play with him while moaning.

Looking at Zhang Xiangwen's current appearance, the sworn brother in Tang Cheng's eyes returned to the impression he had before last night. Isn't he just a half-grown child?

After covering Zhang Xiangwen, Tang Chengcheng turned back when he walked to the door, walked to the couch, pinched Zhang Xiangwen's face and asked, "Say, why do you have a fourth uncle?".

"Fourth Uncle... help my father at home... take care of the housework", just as Zhang Xiangwen said this, Tang Cheng hastily removed his hand from holding his face. When it came out, it just ticked into Tang Cheng's hand, which made people very sick.

Tang Cheng let out a sigh while wiping his saliva, at least he didn't have to worry about his fourth uncle running out to scare people someday!

It was impossible for Tang Cheng, who was behind his back, to see that just as he was stepping out of the room, Zhang Xiangwen quietly opened his eyes on the couch, and there was a trace of warmth in his eyes watching his back, but there was a trace of warmth in his eyes. That tired smile still hangs on her face...

Tang Cheng was really tired after a day of tossing around. He had just arrived at the upper room that Wu Yujun had just opened. Although Wu Yujun had left, the room was unlocked because it had been open for a day.

Tang Chengyin was in a hurry to sleep, so he didn't turn on the lamp after entering the door, and went to lie down on the couch in the dark, but he felt a piece of greasy skin on his hands when he lay down. Before he woke up, he came into his arms He had already rolled into a naked body, and then the woman's sweet and sleepy voice came to his ears, "Mmm... Enemy...".

"Little Fen Taoer! It's the prostitute who accompanied Wu Yujun just now, and she didn't leave her feelings?" At this point, Tang Cheng's head full of drowsiness immediately dissipated. When I was a child, I actually...unconsciously climbed onto the choppy big white rabbit on Xiaofentao'er's chest, and the palm of my hand was still pressing on the red big white rabbit's eyes... At this moment, Tang Cheng finally completely I am convinced of the words that the fortune-telling fake blind man in the later generations scolded him angrily after being exposed, "You boy is born with a flirtatious bone, don't even think about guarding a woman in peace for the rest of your life!".

Gently withdrew his hand, stood up lightly, Tang Cheng left the room lightly, he didn't dare to be lazy again, went to the cabinet below and asked Xiao Er who was dozing off to open the room again, after entering the room, he didn't have the heart to go back After washing his feet or something, he hurriedly took off his clothes and fell asleep.

Waking up early has become a habit since time travel. Although he was very tired on the first day, Tang Cheng got up not much later than usual. After getting up and washing up, he went straight to Zhang Xiangwen's room.

When Tang Cheng reached out to knock on the door, he realized that the door was not bolted from the inside at all, and it was still the same way he closed it when he came out last night. For such a big man, he didn't even know that the door had to be bolted when sleeping. Tang Cheng really didn't know what to say. What happened to him.

As soon as he opened the door and walked in, he heard a burst of snoring. Looking at Zhang Xiangwen's long, white, clean and gentle face, the snoring sound was really scary. Maybe it was because of the wrong sleeping position and the uncomfortable breathing after he snorted his neck. After a long snoring, there will be a few intermittent hums in the nose. This kind of humming coupled with the sleeping position of curling up with the quilt between the legs, really looks like a half-stretched piggy , Tang Cheng couldn't help laughing out loud.

After getting the humming Zhang Xiangwen up from the couch, Tang Chengcheng talked about peach blossom petals while he was washing up.

"This is easy to handle, isn't it just to get a few fish? After I finish washing, I will find the guy in the building and report this letter back quickly." Zhang Xiangwen raised his head and smiled with a face of water beads: "Sometimes even I My father said that my fourth uncle is more thoughtful than women, but he is the most reliable in handling things. If you invite him to handle this matter, you can rest assured, brother, it is much faster to go back and forth by horse than by car. It will definitely be done tomorrow. Bring you that fish."

After freshening up and eating, Zhang Xiangwen casually recruited a waiter to come over and say a few words. After a while, the shopkeeper came up and said "Master".

Because Zhang Xiangwen talked about sending someone home to pass the message, the shopkeeper nodded and agreed, saying that he would order people to do it. Seeing the shopkeeper walking to the door, Tang Cheng remembered something, got up and rushed to the door to ask the shopkeeper again. I ordered a few words.

Zhang Xiangwen handed Tang Cheng a bowl of jujube and japonica rice porridge, "What are you talking about?".

"It's nothing!" Sitting down opposite Zhang Xiangwen, Tang Cheng looked at the exquisite porridge bowl and the sticky glutinous rice sticky rice in front of him, and smiled slightly: "You were not as ostentatious in the county school back then. , I didn’t realize it when I was sworn in, you kid is not simple!”.

"What's simple and not simple? It's far worse than my elder brother." Zhang Xiangwen saw Tang Cheng's peaceful smile, and his usual tired smile appeared on his face. He salivated and asked, "Is it possible that elder brother is blaming me for concealing family affairs?" Son, there is nothing to say about this, we two are affectionate, I want to say this as soon as I open my mouth, I don’t have the vulgar feeling of worship! We are also born as scholars, and there are still [-] petals in the residual red, which is not as good as the first one. Zhixian. Just listening to this poem, you know that big brother is not such an ordinary person!".

Zhang Xiangwen's family is so great, but he, the sworn elder brother, doesn't know it. He always makes surprise attacks. It's unreasonable to be angry, but Tang Cheng is inevitably a little depressed. He originally wanted to say a few words, but saw Zhang Xiangwen's lazy smile. , Listening to what he said again, I don't bother to say what I thought, unless there is something serious, otherwise you can't talk to this kid properly.

"Okay, stop showing off your tongue, hurry up and eat." Tang Cheng drank two mouthfuls of round-grained rice porridge, and then something came to his mind, "By the way, I have something to ask you."

When it came to business, Zhang Xiangwen put away the smile on his face, "Say it, brother."

"How much money do you have in your hands?" Tang Cheng deliberately added after finishing speaking, "I'm talking about your own private money."

"I don't know either." After Zhang Xiangwen finished speaking, he also felt that this was a bit unclear, so he explained, "To be honest, brother, I have never been short of money since I was a child, so I have never been short of money. On weekdays, the monthly bills at home and the money given by the uncles are taken care of by the big girl in the house. If you don’t have any, you can just ask her for it. Don’t dare to say too much, there should always be a hundred and eighty guan.”

"One hundred and eighty pennies, you are really a small rich man!", three hundred pennies per penny, thirty thousand thousand pennies per penny, considering the purchasing power factor, it is worth 5 yuan in future generations, and there are so many pockets alone. Zhang Xiangwen is really a small rich man to the letter, but if the [-] guan is put into the tung oil business, it is really nothing, Tang Cheng smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, eat, eat Gotta get to work."

Zhang Xiangwen is impatient, so he could stand the half-talk, put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked, "I don't care about the hundred and eighty sticks? What's the matter with you, brother?".

"What can I do? I have a good business I want to start now, but the capital is not enough. I originally wanted to lure you into the business." Tang Cheng also put down his chopsticks and talked about the tung oil business, " There is nothing wrong with this matter! If there is no Shijun Mansion, there is no way to do such a big business, so I just ask casually, and I will talk about it when I need money."

"Since I graduated from the county school, I now feel a headache when I read the official documents. Brother, you can still see such a big business from the morning newspaper. It's not easy." Zhang Xiangwen laughed, "Since we can make money, let's do it. It’s easy to say that the money is not enough, I will ask my Uncle Yao to borrow some first.”

"It's not purely about money! I can see the news from the morning newspaper, but others can't? Even if you don't see it now, you should understand it soon. When everyone starts hoarding tung oil, If you have money, you can’t buy it anymore. Although your sister-in-law’s shop is the largest in Yunxi, it’s not the only one after all. Even if you can collect some tung oil from the old households, how much can you get? Put it in the entire Jinzhou What does it look like? There are so many tung oil shops in Yunxi alone, how many are there in Jinzhou?”.

"Brother, do you mean that you want to use the power of Mr. Sun to stockpile oil?".

"This is only a part. After all, Shijun Sun is the governor of a state. As long as he is willing to make a move, not to mention all, it should be no problem to get at least half of the tung oil in Jinzhou; It is for sale, but the shipment of Jinzhou tung oil has been controlled by those big shops for so many years. These big shops can do huge business, and the people behind them are probably not simple. Without Sun Shijun If we hold on to the front, this kind of business can’t be done even if we have money.”

Chapter 98 Things Done Well

Zhang Xiangwen couldn't understand this truth very well. Why did Uncle Yao open two Baohe restaurants in Zhoucheng and Yunxi? It's not because his second uncle and third uncle are standing behind him.

The tung oil business is bigger than the restaurant business, making more money, and the people standing behind are probably even more powerful.

"Okay, don't think about it, this matter is not sure yet, I have already asked your sister-in-law to start hoarding oil, even if you can't make a big one, you can make some money." At this point, Tang Cheng said to Zhang Xiangwen: " By the way, your Uncle Yao is also in business, so you can persuade him to do the same."

Zhang Xiangwen shook his head when he heard the words, "My uncles have the same temper as my father, and they are the most careful in doing things. My uncle Yao has just opened a restaurant and a warehouse in succession, and now there is still money and energy to invest in tung oil. Business, you haven’t met him, one of his favorite words is ‘It’s better to be a master than a master’, even when he persuaded me to study in the county school with peace of mind; Uncle will not agree, whether it is Sun Shijun or the people behind those big tung oil shops, my second uncle certainly does not want to offend."

Hearing this, Tang Cheng nodded, it is better to be familiar with it than to be a stranger. Zhang Xiangwen's Uncle Yao is really right. In addition, he has opened a shop, and now he is thinking that if he has no spare money to invest in the tung oil business, the wine shop is better. The warehouse is the most cost-effective, not to mention that if you really want to get involved in the tung oil business, the money you need is not even a star.

Because this matter has not yet been decided, the two of them did not talk about it again. After dinner, Tang Cheng stayed in the inn to wait for news from Wu Yujun. It is necessary to ventilate in advance. At that time, Governor Sun and Zhang Sima will work together, and the matter of Master Yao will be settled today.

Zhang Xiangwen went to his second uncle's house after dinner, and brought back Lao Gantou, and it was not certain if Sun Shijun wanted to see him.Along with them were two middle-aged men, but although these two were wearing ordinary clothes, their smell was not easy to cover up. When Zhang Xiangwen introduced them, they were indeed the tolerance of the state government.

Zhang Xiangwen said at dinner in the morning that his second uncle has always been cautious, and looking at it now, it is really true.

Wu Yujun came here at the beginning of noon, and there was nothing extra to say at the moment. Tang Cheng took Lao Gantou into the car and followed him all the way to the Governor's Mansion.

This is the first time Tang Cheng has met Governor Sun. He is in his 40s and has a pale face. When he speaks, he is not as powerful as the officials in later TV dramas. On the contrary, he is a bit gentle. He is a typical Jiangnan character and does not talk much. , Talk less to Tang Cheng, most of the time just listen quietly, even if you ask questions, they are mostly old bosses who ask directly.

The meeting in the study room of the Shijun Mansion was not long, not even half an hour. After reading the confession and listening to what Old Gan said, the meeting was over.Sun Shijun didn't say much, and only told Lao Gantou to go to Zhang Sima with the confession after leaving the mansion.

Hearing this, Tang Cheng knew that the matter was over, so he didn't stay any longer, and resigned with Lao Gan.

The lunch was eaten in the Shijun's mansion, and the guest was still Wu Yujun. The dishes were not fancy, and there were only four dishes and one soup for three people, but it was exquisite, and it was worth mentioning that the wine was also good .

"I have already asked someone to bring the letter back with the peach petals. If it is slow, it will be delivered the day after tomorrow. If it is fast, it will be delivered tomorrow." On the way out of the house after dinner, Tang Cheng smiled and said to Wu Yujun: "It's tung oil. I don’t know if Brother Wu can think about that matter, I’m afraid the news won’t be concealed for long, if you want to do it, the sooner the better.”

Wu Yujun looked at Lao Gan, who was following behind, and pulled Tang Cheng aside, "I'm not afraid that Brother Tang will make fun of you. My sister has to decide on this matter. Don't rush back, and wait in Zhoucheng first." In a day or two, if my sister really wants to do business with this shop, she will have to ask you for a question."

After all, this is a big business. Mrs. Wu said that she might have to go to the Chaobao first, then think over it, or even discuss it with Sun Shijun before making a decision. Brother, you said it, and I will obey it."

"There are quite a few people I have dealt with, and it's just a pleasure to be with you!" Wu Yujun patted Tang Cheng's shoulder with a smile when he heard the words, "You go to work first, I will take you to a good place tonight pastime".

Seeing Wu Yujun's obscene smile, Tang Chengcheng knew that he must be talking about the land of Goulan and Wasi. After nodding with a smile, he and Mr. Gan left the Governor's Mansion through the side door.

Mr. Gan was escorted back by his two errands, and Zhang Xiangwen followed him to his second uncle's house to wait for news. Tang Cheng woke up after taking a nap, and was bored in the inn, so he simply went to the street for a walk.

After wandering around along the route he walked with Lan Cao'er last time, Tang Cheng remembered the result of Master Yao's matter, so he turned back to the guest behind Baohe Building without turning around. Abandon.

The sun was setting and until dusk, Zhang Xiangwen finally came back, "Brother, it's done! Already six tolerances have gone to Yunxi on a fast horse with the pledge letter signed by my second uncle. Counting the distance, they should go to Yunxi now." Already out of the city", Zhang Xiangwen said here with a chuckle, "I have seen the detainment book with my own eyes, and it says 'arrest and detainment'!".

Zhang Xiangwen laughed so wickedly that Tang Chenglue understood after a little thought. The policemen from these states are leaving now, and it will be midnight when they ride fast horses to Yunxi County. Just put Mr. Yao in bed?

Thinking of Master Yao being dragged out of the quilt, if he was still having a couple's affair... Thinking of this, Tang Cheng and Zhang Xiangwen couldn't help laughing out loud as they looked at each other.

Ever since Mr. Yao's ruthless hand, Tang Cheng had been suffocating in his heart. At this time, with his loud laughter, the suffocation that had been smoldering for several months finally dissipated, "Don't worry!" Did you say anything?" After all, Director Yao is the third in command in a county, and if you want to attack him, it is impossible to completely bypass Ma Biejia, Tang Cheng asked this question after laughing.

"I also asked, but my second uncle didn't say anything." Zhang Xiangwen shook his head regretfully, and then laughed again: "But he must not be able to bear it if he thinks about it."

"That's true!" Tang Cheng sighed with a smile, "But in this case, our Yunxi county government has completely offended the horse."

"That's right, but Ma is 57 this year, and it will only take three or two years for him to become an official at this age. Besides, even if he offends, County Magistrate Zhang and Master Hu will worry about it. What's the use of worrying about it," Zhang Xiangwen said As soon as he said that, his hand had already come to pull Tang Cheng, "I used to study in the county, but now I am in the county government. It is rare to come to the state city. Anyway, I have finished my business, so I just went out to take advantage of the excitement."

"I'm still waiting for someone here." Tang Chengyin told about Wu Yujun's coming at night. After hearing this, Zhang Xiangwen regained his composure and said, "Brother, after Wu Yujun comes, don't tell him that Zhang Sima is my second son." uncle".

"Don't say that Zhang Sima is your second uncle, even this time we went to Zhoucheng to find your second uncle first, right!" Seeing Zhang Xiangwen nodding, Tang Cheng slapped him on the shoulder, " How stupid are you to be the big brother? You deliberately make yourself uncomfortable."

It is really a big taboo to ask two families for help for one matter, but this time it is a big matter after all, and it has to be done thoroughly, and Zhang Xiangwen and Zhang Sima are relatives, so it is so.How could Tang Cheng rush to stab Wu Yujun in front of him?

The two waited here, but Wu Yujun didn't come, so he sent a boy to tell him that he would have dinner with the old lady at night, and he couldn't come out. Zhang Xiangwen was very happy when he heard the news, and immediately pulled Tang Chengcheng run outside.

Because they were waiting for Wu Yujun to come, the two of them didn't eat, so Tang Cheng simply took Zhang Xiangwen to the shop where he ate Sanhe soup the last time he came.

The old hen soup is boiled enough, the noodles are chewy, and the wontons are delicious. In short, this three-in-one soup is still so authentic!When the old man came over with a large bowl full of sanhe soup, he even specially greeted Tang Cheng, "Master is here!".

"Oh! Uncle Wang still remembers me?"

"Why don't you remember, when you came last time, the young master gave you more than 30 coins!" Uncle Wang's face was wrinkled, but his smile was hearty. It is rare to come with a big lady, the old man remembers it clearly."

"Well, it's delicious, big brother, you chose this place well." When Zhang Xiangwen first came in, he still had a look of disapproval, but now he praised it repeatedly after taking a bite.

"It's not just the three-in-one soup, Uncle Wang's physalis noodles are also unique." Looking at the old man with white beard and hair and wrinkled face, Tang Cheng's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Baohelou can make noodles , I’m really not good at snacks, but you can recommend Uncle Wang to the shopkeeper.”

Tang Chengyuan felt that it was not easy for Uncle Wang to set up a stall on the street at such an advanced age. It is cold in winter and hot in summer, so Baohe Building should be more comfortable. Besides, with his skills, Baohe Building would not suffer from hiring him. .

Unexpectedly, when he finished speaking, before Zhang Xiangwen could speak, Uncle Wang smiled and shook his hand and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. I'm fine here. The neighbors are used to me, and I'm used to listening to them when I'm busy." Talking and laughing, noisy and lively. In terms of earning money, it is enough to eat and save some pensions, even if I have more, I can’t use it!” After Wang Bo finished speaking, he smiled Back to work again.

In fact, since Zhang Xiangwen came back from his second uncle last night, most of Tang Cheng's thoughts have been shifted to the tung oil business. Opportunity, although he said he was open-minded, he was actually nervous.

For him who was anxious to make money, Uncle Wang's words sounded special. Looking at the serene and hearty smile on the white-haired Uncle Wang's face, Tang Cheng felt a little envious in his heart. There are many high-ranking scholars in the market, even though this Uncle Wang doesn't know a single word, his open-mindedness that looks down on money is really like a high-ranking scholar.
