The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Three days later.Zhang Fan once again entered Yangzhou City.This is his second home in this era.

Yangzhou city in summer.The weather was not so hot.Although it is closer to the north than Quanzhou.But Yangzhou is still some distance away from the sea after all.So it's hot here at the same time.There is no moisture from the humid sea breeze.Except that there is no wind with yellow sand blowing from time to time.This place is almost catching up with the capital city.

Anyway, Zhang Fan and his party got used to the situation.Needless to say, those factory guards.Although in the eyes of others.These people are bullies.But at least they still have some temperament of warriors.This hot weather can't trouble them; some of them were born in the south.Like Ruan Er.Already used to the situation; of course.Zhang Fan also went through this month of baptism.Become not too disgusted with this heat.

It was Richard and Joanna, two overseas guests.The two had been living on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe.Bathed in the pleasant aftermath of Atlantic dynamics all year round.Where did I feel this heat.If it weren't for ice cubes, which are hard to come by in summer, to relieve the heat.The two almost suspected that they would die of heat here.Think here.The two couldn't help but think again.Fortunately, the two of them ran into Zhang Fan as soon as they went ashore.Count of this empire.Still a real one.And the more hospitable earl.Otherwise, I will definitely suffer.

The only one who is indifferent to the weather is Zhu Yijun who was cursing the hot weather some time ago.He has been with Ruan Er these days.Not to mention how happy it was.Zhang Fan has only seen this kind of enthusiasm in people who are passionately in love.But he also clearly knew that there was absolutely nothing like that between Zhu Yijun and Ruan Er.This can't help but confuse him again.

Mention Ruan Er.Zhang Fan planned to make a final test.certainly.This temptation was not aimed at Ruan'er.He asked Wang Meng to do everything possible to find out the news about Fang Zhenqian, the former leader of the Five Poison Sect.And he intends to reveal it to Ruan Er unintentionally.Watch her have and react.This is Zhang Fan's final test.He listened to Yingyue's words that day.I couldn't help but feel in my heart that maybe I was really wrong this time.

The imperial envoy came to Yangzhou city again.How could officials and merchants in the city not come to welcome them.Here's a toast to a glass of water and wine.This time, Wang Dezhao, the magistrate of Yangzhou, took the lead to step forward.There was another round of praises to Zhang Fan.Count Zhang Fan's actions in Quanzhou.The credit is exaggerated countless times.Zhang Fan felt that no matter how thick-skinned he was, he might not be able to bear it.The officials behind Wang Dezhao also echoed.It seemed that they would not despise Wang Dezhao's flattery at all.It even feels a little out of place.Adding something one by one.

Zhang Fan really couldn't stand this kind of mental bombardment in disguise.He almost snatched the water and wine from Wang Dezhao.Drink it hastily.This is considered to have escaped a "robbery".

It was the same as when Zhang Fan first came last time.Those who came were some big businessmen from Yangzhou.But after Wang Dezhao went through the last oolong incident.This time, he was much more cautious.He personally went to Zhang Yufang's residence to invite him to come with him.This time Zhang Yufang was placed in the front row to welcome Zhang Fan.It didn't sound like much.If Zhang Yufang doesn't come.Zhang Fan would not blame Wang Dezhao at all.But now it looks like this.This made it difficult for Zhang Fan to step down.Anyway.Zhang Fan has now recognized his ancestors.Zhang Yufang is his uncle.And now this scene.Did Zhang Yufang salute Zhang Fan and mess up the seniority; or let Zhang Fan salute Zhang Yufang and mess up the hierarchy.This can't help embarrassing the uncle and nephew who are close at hand.Looking at each other, they don't know what to do.The other businessmen who came to the side became a little brighter when they saw this scene.They also all know the relationship between Zhang Yufang and Zhang Fan.Some of them are still secretly gloating.They were not watching Zhang Fan's joke.Instead, he wanted to know what kind of shoes Zhang Fan would give Wang Dezhao to wear because of this embarrassment.But Wang Dezhao was happy that he had done a good job.He didn't realize how much trouble this good thing he did would cause him.

In order to relieve this embarrassing situation.The merchants on the side all bent down to salute Zhang Fan.They didn't care how Zhang Fan and Zhang Yufang should solve the problem of etiquette.The most important thing is that they show.I didn't see anything.

With great difficulty, the awkward atmosphere was lifted.Zhang Fan just said some official words and left in a hurry.He and Zhang Yufang are on the same road.After all, in Yangzhou.Here is his home.Although for Zhang Fan.He didn't want to disturb the life of his uncle's family too much.After all, he is busy with things.People were coming to him all day.It is quite inconvenient to go in and out of my uncle's house.But Zhang Yufang strongly invited.And if he still wants to reject Zhang Yufang.Doesn't it seem a little impersonal?Zhang Yufang might think that the grievances from his previous life are still lingering in Zhang Fan's heart.

"Uncle. How are the days at home?" Sitting in the same carriage as Zhang Yufang.Zhang Fan asked casually.

"It's okay, it's okay. Everything at home is fine." Zhang Yufang said.In fact, there are many things that he can't say well.No.I can't tell.

Ever since Zhang Fan returned to Yangzhou with a prominent identity to recognize his ancestors.The entire life of the Zhang family has changed.certainly.Change always has two sides.There are good and bad.

There are indeed many good places.The Zhang family's business in Yangzhou City and Sifangzhou City cannot be described as hot now.Not all of them.Including some ordinary people are flocking to it.After all, the Zhang family made jade wares.This thing itself is not cheap.The big customers are still those rich officials and merchants.It's just that the quality and quantity of what they buy has fundamentally changed.And they have a very strange request.That is, the shopkeeper of a shop must tell Zhang Yufang which family bought Zhang's jade.He also tried every means to meet Zhang Yufang.

The supply of jade in many shops of the Zhang family is in short supply.parties' orders.Notes urging goods kept running to Zhang Yufang's desk.Fortunately, Zhang Yufang has always been a responsible businessman.He had given instructions to his masters who polished and carved jade articles.Don't make any mistakes because of rushing to work.The quality of work can not only be reduced because of this.On the contrary, it is more refined than before.Don't smash the Zhang family's signboard.

Both Zhang Yufang and Zhang Fan's cousin Zhang Yan are busy with the Zhang family's jade business.In addition, due to the influence of Zhang Fan during this period of time.Zhang's business suddenly became hot.Both of them are very busy.For many banquets, I can push or push.If you can't push it away, you have to act in a low-key manner.Zhang Yufang also often warned Zhang Yan.Can only sigh jade or business matters.But don't promise anything else on your own.Although Zhang Yan is not much older than Zhang Fan.But he also knows how powerful it is.So also keep in mind the teaching of the father.Never went off the rails.

But the one who has changed the most is the daughter of the Zhang family.Whether it is Zhang Fan's aunt Wang who is already married.Or sister-in-law Han.Or it could be Zhang Ting, her cousin who has not yet left the cabinet.The lives of these people have undergone tremendous changes because of Zhang Fan's arrival.

Women are inherently gossipy.And there is a natural vanity.Now the Zhang family's father and son are busy with business.Very busy on weekdays.Rarely at home during the day.In this way.It became their job to go out or invite other women to meet and talk at home.The Wang family and the Han family became the leaders of the married women in Yangzhou city.Many wives and wives are scrambling to make friends with them.Or make friends with them.It's good to show yourself that you are different.To be able to make friends with the most powerful people in the city.certainly.privately.These women also gossip.Pass the gossip about the two women of the Zhang family to each other.Then speak ill of each other.It's just jealousy.But Wang and Han didn't care about this kind of words that slandered themselves.On the contrary, I feel that it is a kind of capital to raise my social status.After all, there are not many opportunities to be envied.

Let's talk about Zhang Ting, Zhang Fan's cousin.This is even more remarkable.Zhang Ting is a young lady who has not yet left the cabinet.There are not a few people who pursued her before in this city of Yangzhou.After all, although the Zhang family is only a family of merchants.But after all, there is a lot of money.Most of the people who pursued her were also the children of merchants.Xiang used her to unite with the Zhang family.Expand your business.This is only natural.And now.The number of people pursuing her has increased dramatically.And the camp has also expanded compared to the previous merchant children.Many officials' children also expressed their love to Zhang Ting Xu times.Even people from the states and counties around Yangzhou came to ask for marriage.Its purpose is self-evident.

But for Zhang Ting.The most significant change is still in her social aspect.Just this Yangzhou city.There are not a few women who want to become close friends with Zhang Ting.And they all have almost the same purpose. .Zhang Fan.These are also Huaichun girls who have not left the cabinet.Who hasn't had this dream of flying up the branches and turning into a phoenix?However, when they knew that Zhang Fan was married.Although there was a brief loss and jealousy for Ru Xue who was able to get such good luck.But right away.Started a new round of self-promotion.It's not that Zhang Ting doesn't know what kind of thoughts they have.But because she doesn't want to turn against these women who are holding her now.So they all acquiesced.But they never thought about helping them match Zhang Fan or something.Besides, what is this for.Zhang Ting herself couldn't tell.It's just that she herself always feels melancholy when she thinks of Zhang Fan.

Think about the recent situation in your home.Zhang Yufang really didn't know what to say to Zhang Fan.He skipped the subject immediately.Talk about something else.

Not long.The carriage stopped in front of Zhang's mansion.It's just that Zhang Fan, who hadn't entered the house yet, received an invitation to have a banquet for him in the evening.The one who entertained him was also his main target. .Liu Shan.
