Smuggling Daming

Chapter 168 Zheng Jing's Misunderstanding

Zhou Zhong stayed in Xie Lingyun's room until it was time to light the lamp, and was sent out by Xie Lingyun, but at this time, Xie Lingyun's face was much better, and there was even a smile on the corner of her mouth, Zhou Zhong also had a relaxed expression , although he agreed to several conditions, Xie Lingyun was finally settled.

In fact, Xie Lingyun's condition is not too much in Zhou Zhong's opinion. There is only one condition. Xie Da only has her daughter. After she marries Zhou Zhong in the future, Xie's property should be considered her dowry. However, Xie Lingyun demanded that even after passing through the family, the property of the Xie family should still be placed in her name, because she reserved it for her future sons and daughters. The ones born on the first day are worse. She is worried that her children will be wronged in the future, so she left some inheritance for them in advance.

Zhou Zhong almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard Xie Lingyun's request. He didn't expect Xie Lingyun to think so far. She wasn't married yet, and she even made plans for her children. Anyway, Zhou Zhong never He never coveted the Xie family's property, so he agreed to Xie Lingyun's request without thinking about it.

In addition to this main condition, Xie Lingyun also put forward other requirements. For example, as a flat wife, she requires that all treatment be the same as that of Wang Jinxuan, and even the days of staying in each room must be fair every month. This is Xie Lingyun, After all, she and Zhou Zhong were already married, so although it was shy to raise such a condition, it was okay. If it was Wang Jinxuan, I am afraid that she would not be able to raise such a condition anyway.

For these conditions proposed by Xie Lingyun.In Zhou Zhong's opinion, it was nothing at all, so naturally he agreed one by one. This also made Xie Lingyun feel that the grievance in her heart was reduced a lot. In the end, even she herself felt a little embarrassed. Zhou Zhong took this opportunity to say it again. There was a lot of love talk, but it made the two of them stay in the room for a long time. In the end, Zhou Zhong had dinner with Xie Lingyun before leaving.

Zhou's important wedding is not only a major event for the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but also a major event for the entire Shuangyu Port.After all, with the development of cooperative smuggling, almost [-]% of the cargo owners are customers of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. In addition, a considerable number of small and medium-sized chambers of commerce have passed the review of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and are living on the smuggling business outsourced by Nanyang. It can be said that the entire The influence of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is no longer limited to Beigang, and there are many small and medium-sized chambers of commerce in Nangang District and West Port District.

It is also the huge influence of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce now.So when the news that Zhou Zhong was granted a marriage and that he was going to get married on the sixth day of next month came out, it immediately caused a huge commotion. Although many people wondered why Zhou Zhong didn't marry Miss Xie's family, but this is not important, the key This is an opportunity to maintain a good relationship with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.Therefore, regardless of whether there is any business relationship in the entire Shuangyu Port, the metropolis will send a congratulatory gift.

But then there is a problem.That is, Zhou Zhong's wedding must be held in Songjiang Mansion, but now there are so many people congratulating Shuangyu Port, and it is impossible for these people to rush to Songjiang for attending Zhou Zhong's wedding, so in the end Zhou Zhong and San Niang and others discussed it, and finally came up with a feasible solution.

In fact, this method is not troublesome, that is, the wedding in Songjiang Mansion is still held on time, but on the second day of the wedding.Zhou Zhong will take the bride back to Shuangyu Port, and then set up a grand wedding banquet at the chamber of commerce to entertain all the guests.This is not a loss of etiquette. Of course, if the guests from Shuangyu Port can go to Songjiang to attend the wedding, Zhou Zhong is also very welcome. Everything depends on the guests' own arrangements.

The time for getting married was too hasty, so Zhou Zhong couldn't stay in Shuangyu Port for too long at all. After Aunt Wang, Zhuan'er and the others packed up their things, they left Shuangyu Port immediately. Besides Zhou Zhong's family, Sanniang and Bai's sisters also went back together. This was mainly because Housekeeper Xu had to take care of his wife, Su Niang, who was about to give birth, so he couldn't follow Zhou Zhong. A capable man was needed for the wedding, so in the end, Sanniang could only go. Bai Junwan is Sanniang's right-hand man, so she naturally has to follow. As for Bai Mengwan, she just follows to watch the excitement.The wedding banquet at Shuangyu Port also needs someone to host, but this matter can be left to Uncle Tuo.

After Zhou Zhong returned to Songjiang, he immediately devoted himself to the intense wedding preparations, such as preparing invitations for the guests, wedding arrangements, wedding procedures, etc. Although Sanniang and Bai Junwan were helping to manage, some things still had to be done. It needs to be handled by Zhou Zhong himself. After all, he doesn't have any elders above him, and Aunt Wang doesn't understand these things, so he can only let him, the groom's officer, do it himself.

Fortunately, the officials of Xu Guan's Songjiang Mansion were also very hardworking, and there were many things that Zhou Zhong didn't need to worry about. Not so pleasant.

This is how things happened. As I said before, Zhou Zhong had several close friends in Songjiang, namely Zheng Jing, Li Zheng and Zhang Kuang. These three people helped Zhou Zhong several times when Zhou's family was in trouble. And from the perspective of friends, he persuaded Zhou Zhong to devote himself to studying in order to obtain fame, and was even willing to bear the expenses of Zhou Zhong's study. In the end, although Zhou Zhong rejected the proposals of several friends, he was still very grateful to them.

Now that Zhou Zhongzhong is getting married, he naturally wants to invite some relatives and friends. The three of Zheng Jing are naturally the first guests he wants to invite. He happily accepted it, but Zheng Jing turned away the person who sent the invitation, and asked his servant to tell Zhou Zhong that Zheng Jing would not be friends with a butcher whose hands were stained with blood.

Hearing Zheng Jing's words conveyed by someone, Zhou Zhong almost guessed a little bit. It seems that Zheng Jing also heard some of what he did when he was in Shuangyu Port, and as an orthodox scholar, he might not be able to accept it. I have done some things, such as using extremely bloody and cruel means to destroy the Quanluo Chamber of Commerce and the Shangquan Chamber of Commerce, so Zheng Jing is not willing to make friends with Zhou Zhong again.

If it was an ordinary friend, Zhou Zhong would explain lazily at all, and might even call him pedantic in his heart, but Zheng Jing was a friend who helped him when he was in the most difficult time, and he was also extremely upright and talented. Such a friend might I would never meet a few in my life, so Zhou Zhong felt that it was necessary for him to meet Zheng Jing in person.

However, Zhou Zhong did not go directly to Zheng Jing, but went to Li Zheng and Zhang Kuang's house first, and planned to call them both. After all, Zheng Jing knew what he was doing in Shuangyu Port, so Li Zheng and Zhang Kuang Kuang must also know that although the two of them are willing to attend his wedding on the surface, they must have some grudges against him in their hearts. Otherwise, after the news of their marriage came out, they should have come to congratulate them as soon as possible. I didn't see anyone again.

In fact, it was exactly as Zhou Zhong expected. When Zhang Kuang saw him, although he was still as enthusiastic as before, Zhou Zhong felt a sense of distance between his words and deeds.Fortunately, Li Zheng was as sincere as ever, the relationship between the two was the best before, and Li Zheng also believed in Zhou Zhong's character very much, just to avoid Zhou Zhong's embarrassment, so he was very concerned about what Zhou Zhong did in Shuangyu Port. For nothing was mentioned.

Feeling Zhang Kuang's estrangement from him, Zhou Zhong couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although he prepared a lot of excuses to explain himself today, he just didn't know if he could mend the relationship between a few people?

Finally, when Zhou Zhong proposed to go to Zheng Jing’s mansion with them, Zhang Kuang’s face showed embarrassment, and Li Zheng even coughed and persuaded: “Wenda, Brother Minglun is in a bad mood these days. , how about we go visit another day?"

It seems that both Li Zheng and Zhang Kuang knew that Zheng Jing disliked Zhou Zhong, but Zhou Zhong came to solve this problem today, so he smiled and said, "Shrike, Alchemist, I sent someone to Brother Minglun Sending wedding invitations, but he refused the door, and I also know that you must have heard something about what I did in Shuangyu Port, so you may have misunderstood me, so I just squeezed out time today Looking for you, I want to go to brother Minglun's house with you to explain, if you still don't agree with my approach after hearing it, then I have nothing to say."

Hearing Zhou Zhong speak out directly, Zhang Kuang showed embarrassment on his face, while Li Zheng sighed and said, "Wen Da, Brother Ming Lun did misunderstand you, although I tried to persuade you several times, but But it's useless, but since you are willing to explain today, let's go, I believe that because of the friendship in the past, Brother Minglun will not reject all of us."

"Well, since Wenda has spoken, I also think it is necessary for you to explain to everyone. In fact, not only Brother Minglun, I also have some objections to Wenda's actions in Shuangyu Port!" At this time, the always tactful Zhang Kuang Ye suddenly said very seriously, his character is not as upright as Zheng Jing, so although he disagrees with Zhou Zhong's approach in his heart, he will not express it directly like Zheng Jing.

"Haha~ Brother Fang Shi finally told the truth. The fake smile on your face just now made people uncomfortable!" Li Zheng was very happy when he heard that Zhang Kuang was able to speak his mind so sincerely. Zheng is straightforward, but Zhang Kuang is a little dumbfounded.

Zhou Zhong and the others drove straight to Zheng Jing's house in a carriage. Speaking of which, because they were Zheng Jing's close friends, it was not the first time they had come to Zheng's mansion, and all the servants of Zheng's family knew them, so there was no need to notify them at all. A servant asked Zheng Jing when he was studying in his study, so the three of them went straight to the door of Zheng Jing's study. (To be continued.
