Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 69 Zhang Bangchang

The old man and the children had just left, Wang Xiu didn't need to argue with Zhu Rong after thinking about it, just now the other party was looking for trouble, he had enough confidence to deal with it, even if it was a small fight, it wouldn't hurt.

If Zhu Rong became angry from embarrassment and really threw off his arms and confronted him, he would not be scrupled, and after careful consideration, he would let the old man take the child and leave first.After all, what Zhu Rong had to deal with was him, not the old man and the child. Only when the old man and the child were separated could he be safe. Now he should pay the bill and leave.

When he was about to go downstairs, the shopkeeper came trotting out of breath, and said in an almost flattering tone: "Officer, please stay."

Wang Xiu looked at the shopkeeper in surprise, and said calmly, "Is there something wrong with the shopkeeper? I'm going down to pay the bill."

Seeing that Wang Xiu misunderstood, the shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hands and smiled a little, and said respectfully: "What do you say to the officials, there are people in the private room who want to see the officials, please come here."

"Someone wants to see me?" Wang Xiu was startled, raised her brows slightly, shook her head again and said, "I still have something to do. I didn't see that pig went crazy. If I don't leave at this time, I'll stay here and wait for the losses!"

The shopkeeper couldn't help laughing 'puchi', and said: "The officials are joking, no wonder the Zhu family's little officials are embarrassed."

"Okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if I don't leave. If the shopkeeper is interested, it would be nice to give me a few pennies."

The shopkeeper was stunned, and he was still thinking about bargaining. This is a wonderful person!Just as Wang Xiu was about to go downstairs, he hurriedly said: "Officials, stay put. If you leave, I won't be able to reply to Mr. Zhizhou."

"Zhizhou?" Wang Xiu was stunned, and immediately realized that she was lucky, and she immediately had a pleasant smile on her face. She was really sleepy and sent a pillow. A good person has good luck!

"Officials, please don't say that he is Zhu Dalang, even if Zhu Qianqian is here, he wouldn't dare to do anything to the officials."

"What the shopkeeper said is true, but I'm a commoner, with no morals and incompetence. How could Zhizhou make an appointment? Don't make fun of the shopkeeper. I'd better hide for a while, and a good man won't suffer from immediate losses." Wang Xiu found out that it wasn't Zhu Rong played the trick, deliberately dawdling, Zhang Qiyuan was overcast, so he had to guard against it.

The shopkeeper is such a shrewd person, he immediately understood Wang Xiu's concern, slapped his thigh, and said: "Officer, don't say that Zhu Dalang dares to make trouble, even if Zhu Qianxi came, he would not dare to easily make trouble in Sun's property. Officials can inquire about it." Inquire, it’s okay for us to make small troubles in this restaurant, if he dares to really seek out the rascal, he has to weigh the anger of the proprietor.”

Only then did Wang Xiu feel relieved, and joked: "It's a pity that I can't give you a discount."

The shopkeeper was stunned again, and said with a smile: "Small business, next time the officials come over, we will give you a small profit."

"Your building welcomes repeat customers! Alright, let the shopkeeper lead the way." Wang Xiu smiled and scolded inwardly that he was a fucking stingy man, and he was already haggling over how well he spoke.

When he faced Zhizhou for the first time, he was a middle-aged man in his forties, with big ears, fair complexion, three beautiful beards and chest beaters, and he looked like a northerner.

To be honest, he was in quite complicated mood when he saw the ceremony, because this magistrate is quite famous, he is a controversial figure in history, and he is also a contradictory figure, which made him tangled in his heart.

Of course, at present, this lord is quite unknown, without any remarkable political achievements at all, and he has a bit of knowledge and literary talent.

Zhang Bangchang, Zhang Bangchang!

There is also a middle-aged man present here, one fat and one thin, one on the left and the other on the right are quite suitable for the occasion. Opposite Zhang Bangchang is also a middle-aged man.

From the introduction, Wang Xiu learned that the two fat and thin middle-aged men are celebrities in Chenzhou. , living in mourning and leisure at home, but the fat man is Zhu Qianxie, the shopkeeper of Wanshixing branch, which surprised him. The shopkeeper of love had known that Boss Zhu was drinking, so he cheated him if he didn't come.

The superior person is an official of the Beijing court, who was sent to Huainan West Road to promote Changping official affairs, and passed by Chenzhou on the south, so naturally the magistrate came forward to receive him, and he greeted them one by one.

"A few days ago, I got a gift from a friend on the theory of mind learning, and only then did I know that Chen Zhou has a great talent!" Zhang Bangchang said in a gentle and polite manner.

Wang Xiu heard it in his ears, and it was helpful, but he still didn't faint. If he took the praise of these superiors as real, he would be a fool!Immediately he said humbly but not humbly: "My lord, Miao Zan, I'm just co-authoring with Kaifeng Shen family Shen Shizhi and others, I really can't afford it."

Zhang Bangchang chuckled, looked around the crowd and said, "Such a humble man, like a disciple of Confucianism."

Wang Xiu curled his lips lightly, what kind of Confucian children's demeanor, since the metaphysics of the Jin Dynasty, Confucianism and Taoism have long been integrated, and now Confucianism has merged with Buddhism, and the original flavor has long been lost. He hesitated for a while before distinguishing, but smiled Let it go.

"Come, come, please sit down and have a drink." Zhang Bangchang couldn't help but like Wang Xiu when he saw her gentleness and elegance.

Wang Xiu was being polite, but he was not too modest, so the shopkeeper naturally went out and ordered the young man to take a few cases, and he sat down gracefully.

Zhu Qianxi smiled and said authentically: "I have heard about your great talent for a long time. I also said that everything is going to be prosperous. I went to Shangshui and stayed for more than a month. What is the matter? I didn't understand until the mind and the theory came out." .”

Wang Xiu smiled modestly, he could feel Zhu Qianzhen's compliment and envy, He Wei was particularly high-profile after the publication of Xinxue Zhenglun, and He Laodao also wanted to take over as the big shopkeeper because of this, as a veteran who had been in the mall for a long time Son, how can Zhu Qianxi not understand that Zhu Rong, the dude, is still showing off his prestige in a foolish way.

"I heard that Mr. Shen's family lived in Shangshui for a long time. It turned out that he was there to learn, but he can teach you." Liu Yu knew Chen Zhou as an official of the Ministry of Shangshu and officials, and because of his status, he had some reservations about his younger generations.

"I'm going out of Beijing. I heard that Mr. Shen Jialang also went to Kaifeng for an examination, but missed his masterpiece. It's really a pity." The middle-aged official shook his head and twisted his beard.

"It's okay, I have quite a few in Chenzhou, and tomorrow I will give you a copy with your lord." Liu Yu chuckled.

"Thank you so much."

"I heard that the white sugar on the market is also made by petty officials, which made He Laodao a windfall." After all, Zhu Qianxi is a businessman, and he never leaves his line of business.

Wang Xiu smiled lightly, and said calmly: "Exactly, my father's grocery store was seized by someone, and the family was about to live on the street. I got some money occasionally, and discovered a better way to make sugar than frosting sugar."

Zhu Qianqian didn't ask in-depth questions. As a businessman, he understands commercial secrets, and it's just a one-sided relationship. Why should he tell you.However, he felt itchy in his heart, this is a cash cow!He couldn't let it go, thinking about how to build a good relationship with Wang Xiu and get a share of it.

Well, Wang Xiu came to take part in the solution test, and his son also took part in the solution test. The young people have a common language, and they can slowly cultivate friendship, and finally cooperate with the Wang family.It's a pity, he had to know that just now, the conflict between his son and Wang Xiu in the restaurant, that kind of domineering attitude, probably made him faint.

Zhang Bangchang glanced at Zhu Qianqian, and asked lightly: "This is the first time for a small official to solve the test, how do you feel?"

Wang Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "The solution to the examination is to select scholars for the tribute, so that I deeply feel the emperor's ardent heart for talents."

Zhang Bangchang's eyes lit up, this kid has a set of horse skills, it seems that he is a talent!
But the middle-aged official said slowly, full of arrogance: "If you learn from a junior official, you can be valued by Shen Dalang, so it's no problem to merely pass the test."

The implication is very playful, and it seems to look down on Wang Xiu. Zhang Bangchang moved his eyelids and swallowed when he wanted to speak. He is not a person who gives charcoal in a timely manner. He was curious because he heard the shopkeeper say that Shangshui Wang Xiu was here. Call to see.

"Your Excellency's words are very true. Brother Zhi is humble, and I am ashamed to let my signature be more beautiful than before." As the saying goes, it's not speculative, and Wang Xiu's answer is extremely flat. , any intersection occurs.

"What do you mean by extending a confidant?" The thin middle-aged man suddenly asked.

"Knowledge and action are one." Wang Xiu replied lightly.

"Why?"

"Li Yan, Li De, Li Gong."

At this moment, an arrogant roar came from outside: "Go away, this old man must have destroyed Wang Xiu."

"Young officials, don't seek trouble, you know."

While speaking, the door of the private room was kicked open, and Zhu Rong with a ferocious face broke in, this is the second time he broke in.
