The soldiers guarding them said as softly as possible: "Don't cry, you said you are looking for someone, but who are you looking for?" The girls looked at Zhang Qing sobbingly and dared not speak, because Zhang Qing and Qin Shucheng were standing next to each other. At the same time, Qin Shucheng looked like a general at first glance, thinking that Zhang Qing was also a general, if not an official, he didn't dare to offend, so he just peeked at him.

Qin Shucheng was a little impatient and said, "Who are you looking for? Tell me!"

A bolder girl with a round face straightened her dress, brushed her messy hair behind her ears, and said, "Let's find Zhang Dalang."

Qin Shucheng said: "There is no such person, you go!" He held Zhang Qing and wanted to go back.

Zhang Qing looked back hesitantly, dragged his feet, and blushed for a while and said to Qin Shucheng: "They are looking for me."

Qin Shucheng immediately looked back at him, his eyebrows furrowed into a knot.Zhang Qing muttered, "They came to me for shell jewelry."

Qin Shucheng looked at the girls, and the girls nodded like garlic.Zhang Qing brushed off Qin Shucheng's hand and said to them: "Wait a minute, I'll come as soon as I go." Then he ran to the back garden.

After a while Zhang Qing came carefully holding a rattan basket.The girls immediately surrounded them, forgetting the fear of being caught just now, picking out jewelry in a hurry, and putting it on their heads to see the effect.A group of big men next to them looked at each other in blank dismay.The little girls chattered for a while, each took a few pieces, and gave Zhang Qing a heavy purse. The bold round-faced girl said to Qin Shucheng, "General, can we go?" Qin Shucheng nodded, and the girl They ran away hand in hand.

Here Qin Shucheng caught Zhang Qing and asked him to explain what happened immediately, but Zhang Qing was still blushing, saying that it was a passing interest, and he made some shell jewelry, who knew girls liked it so much?Of course it's good to make money.

Qin Shucheng put an arm around his neck and said, "Okay, you, I didn't even know you had this skill, but you've learned to seduce girls!" Lao Qiu and several of his soldiers all laughed.Xiaoqiu yelled, "Uncle Zhang is seducing a girl!" Zhang Qing hit him hard, picked up Fangzhu, turned around and left, whatever you say, I'm just doing it to make money.Unexpectedly, a soldier behind him shouted: "Young master, teach me, I don't have a wife yet!" Zhang Qing walked even faster.

In the afternoon, a few people had dinner and chatted, and the soldiers came to report: "A carrier pigeon has arrived in the holy place." They said and presented a carrier pigeon.Qin Shucheng took off the bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg, opened the note, and saw that it was the country of Southwest Burma who came to express the goodwill between the two countries, bringing many treasures, and twenty peacocks.The emperor was grateful to Qin Shucheng for not being greedy for wealth and honor, and always wanted to compensate him a little more, so he sent someone to the Burmese envoy to bring back some treasures and the twenty peacocks, and gave them to Qin Shucheng as a reward when he passed by Nanshui City. The day will come.When Qin Shucheng saw this, he readily accepted it. It would be good to relieve Zhang Qing, as he himself was not interested in these things.

When Qin Shucheng received the treasures and peacocks from the emperor and returned to Linhai, Zhang Qing was busy buying ducklings and selling many toys and decorations to raise money to build a house and a duck shed.

Originally, I wanted to find a female duck to hatch by myself, but I was afraid that it would not work well, so I might as well buy ready-made ducks from a hatching room, which would save trouble.

The weather in April of the lunar calendar was neither too hot nor too cold, so Zhang Qing personally took people to buy ducklings.The shopkeeper of the incubator heard that he was from the Marshal’s Mansion, and immediately said with a smile on his face: “How dare you come to the door in person? You can send someone to tell me, and we will send it to you.” Zhang Qing nodded and said later, today Pick some first.The shopkeeper shouted to the best master to help pick the ducks.

Zhang Qing followed the master into the duck room, hey!The field, about five houses in size, was divided into several large blocks, and ducklings were crowded together, making my head hurt from the noise.The incubator smiled and said, "The ones here are just three days old, and they have to stay in the house for a while. The ones over there are ten days old, and they can go out in the field." Zhang Qing thought, the older ones are easier to raise, It's going to be big.He also wanted to lay some eggs and use some for meat, so the master picked two hundred female ducks and one hundred male ducks.Zhang Qing said that he came to buy it if he raised it well. He picked up a duckling and held it in the palm of his hand. The tender yellow down had just grown a little hard feathers, and the yellow flat beak screamed "scare", Zhang Qing I looked at this little thing with a smile, and suddenly saw it stretch its neck, and my nose hurt, so I realized that I was pecked by it.

The hatchery has never done such a big business all at once, because even the hawkers who sell chickens and ducks dare not ask for so much at once, so they are very happy, and even sent a master to guide how to build a duck shed and how to feed the ducks.

Zhang Qing led three big soldiers, pushing a small wheelbarrow, and brought these crowded yellow-haired ducklings back to the barracks, and the master of the hatchery followed.The master was a fat man who was short of breath when walking, so Zhang Qing had no choice but to hire a car for him to sit in.

Back in the back garden of the Shuai Mansion, Zhang Qing prepared the duck shed in advance. The master said: "Your duck shed is not well built. It should be on a sunny high ground to prevent rainwater from flowing in." A new duck shed is built not far from the tidal flat, and it is temporarily stored here. Would you like to go with me to see where the new duck shed is built?" The master nodded, first helped to settle the ducklings, and then left the mansion with Zhang Qing and the others Go and see places.

The sky in the morning was originally sunny, but at noon, it began to rain slightly, floating on the face, as comfortable as the cool needle tip.Zhang Qing walked with his master to the south of the mansion.In fact, the place where he wanted to build the duck shed was not far from the mansion, only one mile to the south, and it was a large abandoned wasteland.Three miles away from the sea, there is a large army training field with a flat plain. The westernmost point is a small earth mountain, which gradually descends to the east to the sea, from the hillside to the flat land to the tidal flat. Qin Shucheng said that there is about [-] mu.

This section of the coastline has sandy beaches and mud smears, and it is very hidden. There are no people, so pirates used to go ashore here, so the army set up the martial arts field here, intending to be on guard at all times.Now that the army has been downsized, only half of them are left. Most of them train in small martial arts fields inside and outside the mansion, and this place is abandoned.Zhang Qing felt sorry for the desert, so he built a small piece of duck shed on the slope of the earthen mountain. In fact, it only occupied three mu of land, and most of it was deserted.Zhang Qing was thinking about planting something, but he hasn't thought of it yet, so we'll talk about it later.

The master looked at it and said: "It should be built on a slope facing south, but the south is not suitable. It is better to build on a slope facing east." Zhang Qing nodded.

While discussing when to start construction, a soldier came running quickly and shouted: "Young master, go back quickly. The commander is back and brought many big birds." When Zhang Qing heard this, he knew that it was a peacock bestowed by the emperor, so he hurried back Look, and sent someone to send the master back in good condition, and made an appointment to invite the master to Jianpeng another day. Naturally, the hard work would not be in vain, and the master was rewarded with a dime.

When we arrived at the Shuai Mansion, many people surrounded the compound.Liu Xiaoqiu crawled back and forth among the crowd.Lao Qiu has already gone back, so he is out of control.The nanny chased Fangzhu, afraid of bumping into each other.Zhang Qing approached, and the soldiers made way for him to pass.Zhang Qing walked up to the people and found that there were several large cages in the circle, and there were dozens of peacocks in them, blue, green, and white, both male and female, crowded together, with their long tail feathers closed.That's it, people are staring straight ahead, where have ordinary people seen these precious birds?

Although Zhang Qing had seen peacocks, he had other ideas, his eyes lit up immediately, and he thought that in the future, peacocks would flock and open a big peacock garden, selling tickets for people to visit!

As he was thinking about it, his hand was pulled, Qin Shucheng smiled and said, "I'll give you all these birds, you can do whatever you want, isn't Gao happy?" Zhang Qing stared at the peacock and kept nodding.

While talking, he saw two blue peacocks stretch their tail feathers in front of him, and opened half of them with a "swish".When Zhang Qing saw it, he felt that the cage was too small to stretch out.Quickly ordered a few soldiers to tie some fences with bamboo to block an open space in the corner of the yard where they lived.There were many people, and the fence was finished in a while. A large fishing net was set up on it, and the peacocks were put in, and some rice grains and grass were sprinkled.

These peacocks traveled long distances, worked very hard, and were already exhausted, and started running around as soon as they entered.A few of them stood in front of Zhang Qing, "Shua Lala" opened their tail feathers, the huge fans, the brilliant colors dazzled people.Zhang Qing wished he could rush over and hug his kisser.

Qin Shucheng was fascinated by Zhang Qing's gaze, his eyes lit up, his face was flushed, and he wanted to kiss him too, but there were so many people.Forget it, no one will say any more.Fang Zhu tugged at his trousers, Qin Shucheng lowered his head and picked him up, Fang Zhu laughed happily.The soldiers on the side were also feasting their eyes. After watching for a long time, they discussed and left.

Suddenly there was a faint sound of bamboo rustling, Zhang Qing turned his head and saw Zhang Xi standing far away from the crowd, leaning on a tree, blowing leisurely, his expression was calm and carefree, knowing that he was in a good mood.Turning to look at the peacocks, there are thirteen male peacocks, and the rest are all females.Most of the male sparrows had opened their tails, blue, green and white, a splendid scene. When they heard the sound of the flute, they immediately turned around, as if they were dancing, and a few suddenly called out loudly, with high-pitched and long-lasting voices, straight up to the sky.Zhang Qing thought, he had to find a place to move them away, otherwise he would not be able to sleep, it would break people's ears.

Here Zhang Qing went back to the house to change clothes and wash his hands, and Qin Shucheng followed him and rubbed against his neck.Suddenly I heard the peacock's nest explode.Qin Shucheng dashed out, only to see Liu Xiaoqiu chasing peacocks in the peacock's nest, grabbing one and insisting on plucking it.

Qin Shucheng stepped over the fence to lift him up, and he yelled, "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Qin hit me!" Zhang Qing came out and saw that Xiaoqiu was holding a long peacock feather in his hand, and Fang Zhu followed beside him, raising his hand. With his little hands, he shouted desperately: "I want it too! I want it too!".

Zhang Qing was so angry that he rushed up and patted Xiao Qiu's buttocks, Xiao Qiu winked and swelled up.Fangzhu also started to cry.Zhang Qing had a headache.Children are devils!

In the midst of chaos, someone reported: "Young Master, Boss Li from Yuduanzhai in the city is here." Zhang Qing hurriedly left the two troublemakers and went to the front.

Here Qin Shucheng said with a stern face: "I will draw a circle, and you are not allowed to go out of the circle! If you go out of the circle, I will hit you! Don't cry, and I will hit you even if you cry!" Xiaoqiu choked and dared not cry.Zhang Qing didn't bother to say that Qin Shucheng's education of the children was simple and rough, so he hurried there.

In the front hall, Boss Li was wearing a gray brocade robe with dark flowers. He was slightly fat and bowed slightly, with a smile all over his face.Zhang Qing asked him to sit down and wait for tea, and said, "Boss Li has been waiting for a long time. Drink some tea first."

Boss Li smiled and said, "I haven't waited for a long time. I wonder what kind of toys Mr. Zhang wants to resell?" Zhang Qing ordered his soldiers to bring a big box from his room.After a while, the two guards fit into a big wooden box.

Zhang Qing stood up, opened the wooden box and said, "That's it."

Boss Li also came over to take a look, took a breath, and said, "These are all top-notch treasures! How much do you want to sell them for?"

Zhang Qingdao: "How much do you think it can be worth?"

Boss Li said: "I have to look at the exact number one by one to estimate the value, and I don't have the ability to buy them all myself. I have to find other colleagues and rich officials in the city to see who can buy them." Buy it. In this way, you keep it first, and I will find someone to look at it another day."

Zhang Qing nodded, and Boss Li left.

Zhang Qing went out of the living room, and was just about to return to the back garden, when someone reported: "My lord, Master Nan Shuizhan sent someone to bring you something." Zhang Qing said, "Who is here? Buddy?" The soldier said I don't know, those guys have been here before, this one is very young, but I don't know him.

Zhang Qing ordered someone to come in. When he saw it, he looked vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
