please make me king

Chapter 864
After the two agreed on a plan for cooperation, Cheng Jia was reluctant to leave, and pulled Zhang Shun to tell some stories about the mountains, south and sea, and business contacts.

That Zhang Shun was also a well-informed person in his previous life, and he was able to pick up whatever Cheng Jia had to say, and he said it eloquently, which made the Lianghuai businessman feel that he really met a "true dragon".

And Cheng Jia also knows a lot about the local customs and customs, which just makes up for Zhang Shun's lack of understanding of this era.

The two sides talked into the alley, and it was getting late before they realized it.

Originally, Zhang Shun planned to go to Li Xiang's place, first to take care of her, and second, to repair the relationship between the two.

In the past two days, Gao Guiying was in poor health, so Zhang Shun had no choice but to call Wang Jinyi and ask him to order the chef to prepare meals so that he could entertain Cheng Jia.

Cheng Jia was not too polite, just smiled and said, "King Shun has good food and wine, which is not enough. It just so happened that I brought Jiangnan Beauty and Merlot with me for King Shun to enjoy."

"Ah? There's no need to be so troublesome!" Zhang Shun immediately refused after hearing the words.

Just kidding, now the tigress at home is fierce, listening to music and having fun at this time, I'm afraid I'm looking for death instead of picking up land!
Cheng Jia didn't expect this guy to be a "wife-afraid" person, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "King Shun doesn't know something, so it's okay to be different, but there is a 'Water Mill Tune' that you must listen to!"

"Shuimo tune?" Zhang Shun couldn't figure out what it was, could it be an opera?
Who still loves to listen to this these days?Oh, by the way, Sanniang likes to listen.It's a pity that men and women are different in this era, otherwise, he could still call Sanniang over to listen.

"Yes, Shuimodiao! Because the accent is soft, glutinous and delicate, just like glutinous rice dumplings made with water milled flour in the south of the Yangtze River, it is called 'Shuimodiao'." Cheng Jia said with a smile, "The chanting it uses is called 'Zhongzhou'. Rhyme', that is, Heluo Yayan, King Shun should feel familiar when he hears it."

ah?A Yangzhou opera, spoken in Henan dialect, why does this matter sound so weird!

No, this can't be done, women are tigers!

Zhang Shun quickly refused: "I'm a rough person, but I don't like to listen to any music. I only like the big man in Kansai holding a copper pipa and an iron chum and singing 'Great River to the East'."

Cheng Jia frowned when he heard this, and looked at Li Baihu.King Shun, what does this mean? Could it be that you are dissatisfied with my sincerity?

Li Baihu didn't know what kind of nerves Zhang Shun had, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "It's okay for King Shun to listen to it. By the way, I haven't listened to the song 'Shui Mo Diao' seriously because of my travels. King Shun, let me do it once." Bar!"

Li Xiang, Li Xiang, it's not that I'm sorry for your husband, it's that he cheated on you, you are cheating on me!

Zhang Shun said in his heart: In this case, there is no need to force this matter!

He laughed and said: "That's fine, then listen to it! My king has always been enthusiastic about business affairs, and I have never liked these clichéd things!"

Who are you coaxing?The name of King Shun's lust is known all over the world, I have already found out clearly!
Cheng Jia sneered and didn't say much.It's just that after a while, a group of men and women were called, and a stage was set up in the hall.

Zhang Shun didn't care about these things, and only asked him to inquire about Jiangnan's strange and obscene objects and books.

Cheng Jia happened to have seen a kind of "thousand-mile mirror" thing, so he described it to Zhang Shun vividly.

When Zhang Shun heard it, isn't this a telescope?Good guy, this thing has appeared in this era?
He hurriedly echoed a few words, and begged Cheng Jia to buy some for himself when he returned to Yangzhou, and bring him some samples of any other strange and weird "Western gadgets".

Cheng Jia smacked his lips secretly, and said in his heart: I also thought that this guy is a man of great talent and boldness, so I didn't intend to be so greedy!

It turns out that most of these "Western gadgets" are like jewels such as coral, agate, and gemstones. They are sold as valuables and cannot be touched by ordinary people.

When Cheng Jia mentioned four or five kinds of "things", Zhang Shun didn't know whether they were suitable for use.

He laughed and said, "Mr. Cheng, if you buy it, I'll give you the money later!"

"What money is not money?" Cheng Jia couldn't help laughing, "A gentleman means righteousness, and a villain means profit. But King Shun orders, and Cheng will do everything!"

"This is impossible!" Zhang Shun said seriously, "A gentleman means righteousness, so that he does not owe others; a villain means profit, so that he can be greedy!"

"Although this king is dull, he definitely can't take advantage of it, and talks about benevolence and righteousness with others. This is a hypocrite, and I will not do it!"

Zhang Shun has his own steelyard in his heart, earns a lot of money, and talks about benevolence and morality. If he is not a moral bitch, who is he?
"The words of King Shun are really shocking!" Cheng Jia couldn't help saying when he heard the words.

Previously, when he interacted with the officials of the Ming Dynasty and the literati in the south of the Yangtze River, they were mostly benevolent and moral people, but they were greedy in private. He is really a hypocrite and a villain!

On the contrary, like King Shun, he talked about money when he came up, and when he understood the money, he was a gentleman of benevolence, righteousness and morality. It is no wonder that many people are willing to go through life and death for it!
Thinking of this, Cheng Jia's previous unhappiness had disappeared, and his determination to invest in "Shunying" was strengthened in his heart.

How did Zhang Shun know that this person had a delicate mind, changing back and forth in a short time.

Not long after, Wang Jinyi ordered someone to bring out the prepared wine and dishes.At this time, the stage in the hall was also set up, and several women played and sang on it, and they didn't know what to perform.

Zhang Shun doesn't have any artistic talent at all, he only listens to it as background music.

Zhang Shun took Cheng Jia and Li Baihu to drink two glasses of wine, ate a few mouthfuls of food, and said with a smile: "In the backcountry, there is no good food and wine to treat each other."

"As long as there are a few bites of wild game, the taste is hard and woody! Other pastries and dim sum are crudely made and unsightly. Only this Yellow River carp is quite novel. Please eat more bites, sir!"

Is Zhang Shun right?exactly!As a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou, Cheng Jia had everything to eat, drink and play.

Coupled with the exquisite southern dishes, in Zhang Shun's eyes, this banquet is almost like food for beggars.

This time, Jia has traveled far and wide, and it is inevitable that he will encounter a frog in a well, but he doesn't care about it.

But when these words came out of Zhang Shun's mouth, Cheng Jia was more shocked.

This is a master who has really eaten and played!Otherwise, in the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of food is already a rare delicacy, but King Shun discarded it like a shoe.

In this way, it is difficult to handle!
Cheng Jia thought for a while, couldn't help but clapped his hands, and waved away the performers on stage.

Not long after, amidst the sound of musical instruments, a woman in pink came out, gently waving her long sleeves, and started singing.

Zhang Shun didn't take it seriously at first, but felt a little familiar.

He continued to chat with Cheng Jia and Li Baihu absently.For some reason, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to my mind, and I couldn't help but exclaimed two words: Zhen Ji!
