Chapter 166

The old man of the Zhou family already hated Zhang Ji and Lin Baozhu, and tried to do evil things again and again, but none of them succeeded.Now, Zhang Ji has the face of Master Yao and the county magistrate, even he dare not provoke him easily.

It's not that he took his mind off it, but since Yao's family ate food and beat Zhang Ji to buy food after Mr. Yao's speech, not to mention the county town of the town, even the local hooligans in the state city did not dare to act wild in front of Zhang Ji's gate.Some even seem to protect Zhang Ji in private.

More importantly, now he can't even enter the threshold of his son-in-law's family, and his daughter has sent letters several times, telling him not to offend the county magistrate for using tricks against Zhang Ji.It was implicated by Zhou Ji, and now the county magistrate has not entered her room for a long time, and only rests in the girl's house, and even made two concubines.

He came and went, even if Mr. Zhou had the heart, he really didn't dare to do it rashly.But he was annoyed, and even more annoyed that his son-in-law didn't help him.Thinking about that record, it was just supported by a small peasant woman in Taoshuwan. Even the man in the family didn't know if he would be able to come back alive, but it made him so jealous.

But later, he found out that the girl actually bought Zhou Ji's original tea garden and workshop, so he didn't worry anymore.No one else knew about that place, but he knew it well. Because there were many sugarcane fields nearby, the pests were extremely serious. Even if he sent many tea garden masters, it would be difficult to recover the loss of tea trees.

Thinking of Lin Baozhu's misreading and mistakenly buying a hot potato as a treasure, Elder Zhou wished he could happily hum a little tune.

After shopkeeper Li brought back the document with the big red seal, and discussed with the original owner about the workshop staff, he sent Lin Baozhu and Daya back to Taoshuwan.

Now that Zhang Ji's business is on the right track, there is the shopkeeper Li, the big shopkeeper, to look after him, and Lin Baozhu has set up independent accounting rooms in each shop, so he only needs to pay and reconcile the accounts with her every month.So now even if she doesn't often go to the shop to stare, it's fine.

Not long after returning to Taoxi County, unexpected guests came to the house, but they were the county magistrate and some men whose identities were unknown.They had obviously been waiting in the village for a long time, so as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw Zhaodi and Xiuniang's sister-in-law waiting in a panic.

"Baozhu, you're back. Someone from the yamen is here." Because they couldn't see the person in charge of Zhang Ji, the adults didn't say what they were doing at all.It was just a few wandering around in the village, inquiring about Zhang Ji and Lin Baozhu.

To be honest, at the beginning everyone was talking cheerfully. After all, men, women and children in the village have all received Zhang Ji's favor.When everyone talked about it, most of them were beaming and praised Baozhu for her ability.But later, when I saw those officials in expensive clothes inquired more and more carefully, they even asked Zhang Ji about the tea mountain and the workshop. Ken said more.

Aunt Tian was straightforward and quick-hearted. Seeing that those people couldn't read their eyes at all, she immediately said a few words. If she wasn't doing business, why would she inquire so much.Xu was worried that the visitor would have bad intentions, so she urged Daju to free up her hands and went to Lizheng, and then asked Shi Dayong and others to come back to strengthen her courage.

But when the county magistrate arrived, everyone suddenly realized that maybe there was a joke.But if that's the case, the aunts in the village who were on good terms with Lin Baozhu didn't dare to be careless.After all, now who doesn't know that Mr. Zhou, the father-in-law of the county magistrate, framed Zhang Ji?Maybe, those men who look like dogs and seem to be elegant and noble are the helpers that the county magistrate found to kill Baozhu and Zhang Ji.

Anyway, Lin Baozhu dragged Da Ya into Zhang's yard.And several nobles who had been waiting at the door of Zhang's house for a long time also followed in.

Originally, Lin Baozhu was full of doubts, but when she saw the person, she didn't worry much.For one thing, the magistrate of the county magistrate respected the few young noble men, it must not be that he has found some helpers.Secondly, those three men were young but tall and modest. Although they were not wearing official uniforms, they couldn't hide the official prestige and noble posture overflowing from their bones.

Although Lin Baozhu didn't speak rashly outside, but when she led Da Ya into the door, she also observed several people carefully.The leading man seemed to be of noble status, although he was wearing casual clothes, but the skirts were all embroidered with silver thread and gold silk, and if the pattern was correct, it should be something like a python and a crane.Looking at the boots with white bottom and black top, the embroidery is also very delicate, at least she has never seen such craftsmanship in the embroidery workshops she has been to.

And the two people who followed the man had deep faces and only wore black clothes, but they made people feel like masters.

She had seen His Highness Prince Rui's guard of honor from afar, and it seemed to be the same.It's just that the servants beside His Highness Prince Rui are more restrained than the two in front of him, and sometimes people even subconsciously ignore them.

Lin Baozhu has been living a stable and peaceful farm life since she traveled through time, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.Even though she opened Zhang Ji and became the wealthy wife of Zhang Ji in everyone's eyes, she did not change her habits and life.

After a long period of quiet and warm days, her inner defenses have indeed dropped a lot, and even her emotional intelligence has also dropped a little.

Seeing several handsome men with different identities now, she didn't feel any anxiety or worry or nervousness in her heart.To be honest, at this moment, her mood is not as excited as when she knows her man has returned with a letter.

The man in charge was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he saw Zhang Ji, who was praised by everyone as the head of the family.He who was originally quite restrained and steady showed a slightly surprised expression for a while.

This is the wife of General Zhang who killed the Xiongnu, rumored to kill the stars, even took the Xiaoqi battalion straight to the Huns' base camp, kidnapped his princess, beheaded the Huns and the only remaining prince?Is it Zhang Ji's wife Lin Baozhu who was mentioned by his father and king himself?Is Zhang Ji the real master of the family, the tea maker of Baijiguan tea?It looks too small, compared to the tea masters in the palace, this is a little girl.

He didn't have to make this trip in vain, thinking he could see some legendary figure.Now that I met her, I found out that she was only about the same age as my second sister, and she was even weak and soft-spoken.When he thought that General Zhang, who was so fierce that even the barbarians were afraid of him, married such a quiet woman, he was full of disappointment.

To be honest, he originally thought that Da Zhou was also the daughter of General Xiong, a woman who was praised by both the Taifu and the sage, who was capable of both civil and military skills, and could be worthy of General Zhang, who was fierce in killing and frightening the enemy like a wolf.

But he is a restrained person after all, even though he felt surprised and disappointed in his heart, his expression didn't change much.

Lin Baozhu didn't pay attention to what the visitors thought of her, she went into the kitchen and scooped up some warm water to wash her hands and face with Da Ya.To be honest, I was tired and flustered on this journey, and I went to the tea garden to inspect it again, and now my hands are full of bitter taste.

After tidying up, Lin Baozhu asked Li Zheng and the others to help entertain the visitors, and then went to make tea by herself.Because I don't know the identity of the person who came, but I can guess that the other party is definitely not a simple person.Although she doesn't like to deal with officials, she thinks that her man is also a small official now, and maybe he will have contacts with those officials in the future, so it's not good to be contemptuous.

After thinking about it this way, she simply took the first crop of white cockscomb tea that she had treasured and brewed it.The tea has a long and mellow taste, with a sweet aftertaste and a refreshing aftertaste. After drinking the tea, you feel comfortable, as if all the turbid air in your body is released along with the exhalation.

Amidst the scent of tea, the visitor only felt that the breath in his body was washed, and a sense of tranquility and tranquility lingered around.

"Good tea." It's no wonder that after my elder brother sent someone to send a can of tea back home, my father would never forget it.It's really better than those famous Biluochun, and it's very pleasing to watch the tea leaves slowly unfolding in the teacup.

This time, the visitors did not underestimate Lin Baozhu anymore.A peasant woman, who has such a skill, is not arrogant or impetuous, she is calm and well-behaved, and she is not happy when she sees him and the county magistrate, she is really not like a country person.

Just as he was about to say something else, he suddenly saw the white jade double fish pendant hanging around Lin Baozhu's waist.Immediately, the heir of Prince Qi's family, who was still not showing any signs of emotion or anger, widened his eyes in an instant.

The young master of Prince Qi's residence is named Qin Yuanming, and he is also the cousin of His Highness Prince Rui, so he naturally knows about Mr. Zhao.He naturally knew that the old man had come to Taoxi County playing tricks, but he didn't think that the old man had anything to do with the little woman in front of him.

It's not his test, it's really because Mr. Zhao is his enlightenment teacher.Back then, he had a bad temper and didn't like to study in the palace. His father had no choice but to beg His Majesty to let him study in the palace.He also invited Mr. Zhao to come to give lessons, so he should honor Mr. Zhao as Mr.

At that time, he had also seen Mr. always caressing a white jade double fish jade pendant, but even though he had a high status, he didn't dare to ask more questions.In fact, the jade pendant seems to be the sad thing of the husband, and no one else can touch it or ask about it.

Xu Yue is a person of noble status, the more he is subject to etiquette and rules, even as the eldest son of the Qi Palace, he cannot despise the gentleman he has enlightened.The ancients said that being a teacher for one day is a father for life, although he couldn't say that, but the rules in his heart should not be messed up.Back then, the sage Confucius said that rituals and music cannot be destroyed, so he couldn't help respecting his teachers.

At this juncture, Mr. Zhao rushed over accompanied by Shi Dayong.Seeing Prince Qi's son, he was taken aback for a moment, then saluted immediately.

Even if you are outside, the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers must not be messed up.After being supported by the prince to sit on the upper seat, the prince respectfully saluted the gentleman again.

Some actions made Lin Baozhu feel a little liking and admiration for the next life.He doesn't use his status to overwhelm others, and he doesn't underestimate his teacher. This is the real nobleman's demeanor.

Because there is an old man, Mr. Zhao, in the town, and no one will try again. After all, there is an old man as a guarantor. Who would dare to doubt that Lin Baozhu, who looks so inconspicuous, is not the head of the Zhang family?

After this, everyone knew that Prince Qi's son had come to buy food and grass.Of course, he also learned from him that the war in Mobei area of ​​North Ridge is now over, that Zhang Mandun became famous in the first battle, and even after he killed the Hun King, he was conferred the title of General Protecting the Country by the Holy Master, and the official worshiped him as a first rank.After all, killing the King of the Huns and bringing the entire court of the Huns to near annihilation is the biggest achievement in decades.

In addition, His Highness Prince Rui intervened in it, as well as the confidants placed beside the emperor playing side drums, and those several improved killer weapons bearing the name of Zhang Mantun, which were still intimidating in all directions.

If this is the case, Zhang Mantun still cannot stand out from the crowd, and that would be a big joke in the world.

Knowing that her man was safe and sound, Lin Baozhu was relieved.His attitude towards the son of Prince Qi's Mansion has also improved a lot. At least, he was more attentive when serving snacks and tea later on.

Mr. Zhao is here, and Lin Baozhu is in a good mood, as if everything is easy to discuss, and the son of Prince Qi has already made a charter with the Ministry of War and Housekeeping, so within half an hour, Zhang Ji and the army will eat and supply food. The deal is settled.

Speaking of this deal, Zhu Neng had to discuss it with His Highness Prince Rui first.Originally, the matter was delayed due to the war with the Huns, but unexpectedly, during the war, the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty collected a lot of food such as bean curd sticks from the Huns, which immediately attracted many people to loot them.

After sending people to investigate, I found out that there were merchants who sold Zhang Ji's things to the border between the Northern Qiang and the Huns.Later, the Huns discovered that the food was not only easy to carry, but also easy to fill up after eating.

Afterwards, Prince Rui simply took Xu San and the others back to Beijing, and when they went back, they brought news and food, which caused quite a stir.You know, the bean curd sticks, dried noodles, and dehydrated dishes are not much more expensive than the rough grain collected by the Ministry of Households. There are raw vegetables and meat, and some can be eaten without fire.

This is extremely beneficial for marching operations, especially ambushes and sneak attacks at night.

In this way, the matter was formally put on the table without delay, and there were several strong recommendations from Zhu Neng, and the things in Zhang Ji were indeed convenient for marching.So after several discussions, this matter was settled.

With this guarantee, Zhang Ji can even be said to have affixed a talisman.Now they are not the only ones selling tea snacks to nobles, they are supplying food to the imperial court, if someone does something wrong again, they will have to weigh it carefully.

On the other side, the county magistrate secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately, he has recently chilled the wife of the family. Otherwise, if she was allowed to support her natal family and provoke Zhang Ji, wouldn't it be that the old birthday star hanged himself and died?
It doesn't count that General Zhang came out of Taoshuwan Village, and now even Zhang Ji has something to do with the imperial court, who would dare to provoke him in the future!At the very least, a small county magistrate like him cannot be offended.Thinking of this, he thought to himself that he had to talk to his wife again when he went back.
