Prime Minister

Chapter 209 Goodbye Brother Guo

At first, the rich lady thought that Zhang Yue was no better than a craftsman, a better craftsman for engraving seals, but after Wang Kui mentioned it, she felt that it was really not easy for Zhang Yue to know Wang Kui.

Although she is not close to Wang Kui now, she still admires his talent. Wang Kui can call out this person's name, which shows that the two are still friends, which makes the rich lady look at Zhang Yue more.

"How do you know each other?"

Wang Kui heard the rich woman's question, and immediately said: "I have known Du Zhi not long ago."

"If you have anything to say, please speak slowly."

When the rich lady heard it, she immediately said, "Why does your friend open a shop here and carve seals?"

Wang Kui smiled and said, "Du Zhi is a student of the imperial court. It's the first time I've heard of opening a shop here to carve seals."

Zhang Yue said in his heart, okay, these few words of yours have shaken my bottom out.

Hearing that Zhang Yue was a student, the rich lady's eyes lit up.

Before, I thought that such a young man was actually the boss, but later I found out that he was the one who carved the seal, so I couldn't help but take a high look.Now that he is known to be an imperial student, it seems that this shop was built by him.

Pulling down layer by layer, the rich lady constantly has a new understanding of Zhang Yue, and feels a little bit stripped.

Tai students also make a living in this way. No wonder this chapter is not carved with much craftsmanship, but a bit of the air of refined scholars.

The rich lady said to Wang Kui: "Okay, I don't care who he is, since you are familiar with him, let him sell me the three chapters together. He can open it for how much."

Wang Kui was overjoyed when he heard the words, the lady from the rich family finally gave him orders.

Wang Kui turned around and made a bow to Zhang Yue: "Whether Du Zhi can accept this invitation on the face of my subordinates, Wang will be very grateful after this."

Zhang Yue said: "It turns out that he is a friend of Brother Junmin, and it's not that I'm not being accommodating. It's just that the small shop only sells three chapters in half a month. If this lady buys it all at once, then other customers in the shop will come back empty-handed." gone."

"But even if Brother Junmin opened his mouth, then I can't refute your face. If this lady likes it, I will sell two of them at the original price of ten pennies. What do you think, Brother Junmin?"

Wang Kui felt that what Zhang Yue said was right, but he still said: "Du Zhi, you can help people to the end."

Zhang Yue didn't speak immediately.

Just at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the fast.

"The thieves in the army will come out to Lao Tzu!"

"Otherwise I will smash your bird shop!"

The faces of the rich lady and Wang Kui changed slightly when they heard this.

Looking outside, there were more than a dozen hooligans holding sticks standing outside.

Zhang Yue didn't need to think about it to know that it was the rogue that Tang Jiu had beaten away just now.

Seeing them looking like they were about to rush into the shop and beat people, Wang Kui said to the rich lady: "The son of a daughter can't sit down, the lady should leave quickly, don't cause trouble to the upper body."

The rich lady sneered slightly, several servants of her family were still waiting outside, and she was afraid that these rascals would fail.

The rich lady said without any panic: "You have to go on your own, I'm here to watch the excitement."

Wang Kui sighed, put his hands behind his back and said, "Since my wife won't leave, I won't leave either."

But seeing that Zhang Yue was not panicked at all, Tang Jiu put down the wine gourd and walked out with a big stick.

Zhang Yue said, don't beat people up.

Tang Jiu nodded, then went out as soon as he touched the wine stains around his mouth, and there was the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping below.

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "The two of you were startled by the fact that some savages came to make trouble."

"There are still two chapters. The lady wants to take them away. I think this is an exception for the lady in the face of Brother Junmin."

The lady from the rich family saw Zhang Yue's confident appearance, nodded slightly and said: "Since this is the case, I will still buy three, and the new ones will be engraved next month, and they will be sent to my house."

Zhang Yue said: "No delivery, please come to our store to pick it up."

The lady from the rich family said with displeasure on her face, if this person doesn't know how to flatter, he has never seen such a businessman.

Wang Kui smiled and said: "Don't argue, since that's the case, I'll send it to the lady's house."

"Who wants you to send it." The rich lady's voice just fell, but she saw a bloody rogue rushing into the room from outside, seeing the three people in the room who were discussing, she said something cursing in her mouth, Straight towards the three of them.

Seeing this, Wang Kui panicked.The rich lady's face was also a little uncomfortable.

However, this person had a lot of color on his head, and the injury made him move a lot slower.

But Zhang Yue picked up a porcelain plate on the antique rack with both hands and smashed it directly on the head of the rascal.

All of a sudden, this splash made his face bloom, and his injuries added to his injuries.

Pocai fell to the ground with a grunt in his throat, casually grabbed a sharp piece of broken porcelain beside him and was about to get up.

"Be careful." The rich lady exclaimed.

But he saw that he was just about to get up and hit the ground with a thud. It turned out that Zhang Yue hit him on the back with a knee, and then he knelt and sat on the opponent.

The other party let out a muffled snort, suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and passed out on the spot.

Everyone at the scene was still in shock, and the clerk in the store stepped forward and asked worriedly: "Is this not out of breath?"

Zhang Yue got up and patted the hem of his robe and said with a smile: "These Pocai have fought on the street since they were young, and they are all rough-skinned and thick-skinned. These injuries are nothing."

"That's good, alas, it's a pity for this porcelain plate." The guy looked distressed.

Zhang Yue said: "Don't worry, I just picked up the cheapest thing on the antique shelf and smashed it. If this porcelain vase is smashed, you will be so distressed that you won't be able to sleep for three days."

Listening to Zhang Yue's conversation with this guy, the rich lady on the side couldn't help but chuckle, thinking that this guy was a little bit interesting, and picked the cheapest one for a moment.

This lady from a rich family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She doesn't like being a female celebrity at home, nor does she want to be a virtuous woman. She likes to travel abroad.

Many men also fell in love with her because she was the grandniece of Fu Bi or because of her beauty.But this rich girl always likes to play tricks on purpose.

When he saw Zhang Yuelue today, he felt that he was a little different, especially when he hit someone with his hands like a light weight.It made him have a completely different temperament from Wang Kui.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yue couldn't help thinking of the past, this battle was much worse than when Zhao Yasi came to smash his house.

In the blink of an eye, it has been several years.

At this moment, Tang Jiu had already beaten down the dozen or so rogues outside, and they were kneeling and begging for mercy.

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "It's Zhang's fault that you were surprised. I apologize to you two."

Wang Kui frowned slightly, while the rich lady smiled and said, "It's okay."

Wang Kui looked at the rich lady in surprise, and immediately stopped talking.

In March, the imperial court issued an imperial edict ordering the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the tribute examination next year, which was regarded as a formal decision.

The military prefectures are also preparing for the release test. For example, remote provinces such as Fujian will advance the release test to July, and the rest of Kaifeng Prefecture and other roads will arrange the release test in August.

There will be supervisory examinations before the Guozijian Examination. As for the Nanjing Guozijian, Beijing Guozijian, and Xijing Guozijian students will also go to Bianjing to take the Guangwenguan Examination in advance to obtain the qualification to participate in the Guozijian Examination.

When scholars from all over the country came to Beijing to take an examination at the Guangwen Museum, there was another plague in Bianjing.

The weather in Bianjing was really abnormal this year. First, it rained heavily in January, and then it snowed heavily in February.

After that, before May, it looked like summer, and it rained again and again, and finally the epidemic in the capital was prevalent.

That day at Taixue, Zhang Yue met an old acquaintance.

At that time Zhang Yue was leaving Yangzhengzhai to go out, but he saw Guo Lin who was looking around under the pagoda tree in Taixue.

Zhang Yue hadn't seen Guo Lin for many years and couldn't recognize him for a while. He stood in the distance and watched for a while. When Guo Lin turned his head and cast the same gaze, Zhang Yue confirmed it.

Zhang Yue walked over, and only halfway through the walk, tears almost couldn't help falling down, and then walked up to Guo Lin, beat his shoulder vigorously and cursed: "I sent you a lot of money to Nanjing." Why have only two letters been answered so far?"

When Guo Lin saw Zhang Yue, he wanted to slap Zhang Yue with a smile, but he unexpectedly punched him several times.

"You are so embarrassing, do you know what a heartless person is?" Zhang Yue continued to scold.

Guo Lin couldn't help but said, "Junior brother, be gentle."

Zhang Yue said angrily: "Looking at my brother's voice, I will calm down half of my anger first, and tell the truth why so few letters to me."

Guo Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, I don't like to trouble others."

Zhang Yue said angrily: "You still haven't changed."

After Zhang Yue pulled Guo Lin out, Guo Lin was stunned and said, "Where is this going?"

Zhang Yue said: "A friend comes from afar, let's go to drink first! You have such a temperament that you don't have a few catties of yellow soup, and you may not be able to say a word."

The two immediately found a restaurant outside and sat down.

Zhang Yue skillfully said to the waiter: "Bring two cents of wine first, and the other meals are so expensive that you can just put them on. This is my senior brother."

Guo Lin hurriedly said: "Senior Brother doesn't need to spend so much money, Senior Brother came to Beijing with money...he didn't bring much money."

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Brother, I'm taking this meal."

After a pause, Yue continued, "Now this money is nothing to me."

Guo Lin was stunned when he heard Zhang Yue's words, and then he didn't object, and the guy went down immediately after apologizing to Guo Lin.

Guo Lin looked at Zhang Yue and said with emotion: "When I left Pucheng, my junior brother was only up to my nose, but now he is a little taller than me. It seems that the clothes your sister-in-law entrusted me to bring you may not be able to fit. I have always estimated that you are only this tall."

Zhang Yue heard that Guo Lin's wife asked someone to bring clothes for him from thousands of miles away, and he couldn't help but said happily: "I can wear it, I can wear it. I really thank my sister-in-law for her kindness."

"How is sister-in-law?"

Guo Lin heard the words: "Now she takes care of the children at home and honors my parents for me. Although she is illiterate, she manages the house well. I have been away all these years relying on her to take care of the house. If there are any problems in the village, she is also here to help me. .”

Zhang Yue felt sad when he heard the words, and then said: "Brother, after high school, the family can be reunited."

At this time, the waiter had already served the food and wine.

Guo Lin was also slightly surprised when he saw the sumptuous food and drink, but suddenly said: "Junior brother was able to make money when he was studying in the county school, and now he is in Bianjing like a fish in water."

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Where did the senior brother say so, eat wine."

Zhang Yue and Guo Lin drank a big bowl of wine, and then each talked about other things.
