Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 123
A girl's information about her future husband depends entirely on the matchmaker's introduction.

But can the matchmaker be trusted?
In the mouth of the matchmaker, the sow can make them say flowers.

There are living examples in front of Zhu Yu. She is very clear about what her brothers-in-law look like and what their virtues are.It may be too much to describe it as crooked melon and cracked dates, but it is by no means better than crooked melon and cracked dates.

Therefore, Zhu Yu would never believe what the matchmaker said, but she couldn't see the person, and couldn't see the person's words, so how could she judge whether the person was capable or talented?
It should be said that people's state of mind will produce some changes under some special circumstances.

That's how Zhu Yu is now.

After seeing Shen Ying begging for a good lottery, Zhu Yuyou couldn't help being jealous and envious, and her mentality changed immediately.

Why did she insist on the words of her parents and matchmaker?Can't I find a good man?
If you find it, bring this man to your father, and your father will definitely agree with her to give up her status as princess.

Almost in an instant, Zhu Yu made up his mind.

It should be said that Zhu Yu, like Shen Ying, is a very assertive woman.

But Zhu Huixun is different from Shen Ying.

Zhu Huixun is the daughter of the king of Zhou. She was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and she has no idea what the outside world is like.

To put it bluntly, she doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. She doesn't understand that without King Zhou's tiger skin, she is nothing at all.

But Shen Ying is different, the Shen family is a businessman, and Shen Ying has heard from her father about all kinds of intrigues and disputes among businessmen since she was a child.

Therefore, Shen Ying knew very well that the outside world was not as beautiful as she had imagined. Shen Ying knew very well that she could have her current life because the Shen family was rich. Without the Shen family, she was no different from an ordinary girl.

It can be said that Shen Ying is more self-aware than Zhu Yu.

If it were Shen Ying, she would never have such impulsive thoughts, nor would she have such unrealistic fantasies.

Seeing that Zhu Yu was noncommittal, but looked thoughtful, Shen Ying didn't know what she was thinking, so she couldn't ask more.

Shen Ying was about to leave when she suddenly heard Zhu Yu say, "I'll ask for a lottery."

Immediately Zhu Yuxi picked up the stick and shook it, and after a while, a stick popped out.

Zhu Yuyi leaned over to pick it up, and was stunned at the first glance.

"This...how did this happen?" Zhu Yuxi held the lottery, her wrists trembled slightly, and even her face changed!
Shen Ying went to Zhu Yu's side to have a look, and saw the five words on the sign: Han Gaozu entered the customs.

Seeing that Zhu Yu also waved out this lottery, Shen Ying was a little dazed. Could it be a coincidence?

Suddenly, Shen Ying realized something, and her heart beat a few times!
After she regained her composure, Shen Ying smiled and said, "Congratulations to the princess for drawing such a good lottery. The folk girl has been here for a long time, and the people outside are probably impatient, so they will leave."

At this time Zhu Yu also came back to his senses, seeing Shen Ying's impatient look, he suddenly understood, and his face turned red for a while.

Zhu Yuyu hurriedly nodded and said, "You go."

Shen Ying bowed down and gave a blessing, and left the side hall with Xiaodie gracefully.

After Shen Ying left, a playful smile suddenly appeared on Zhu Yu's face, she threw the stick in her hand into the stick, waved to the two maidservants, and walked out of the side hall.

When Zhu Yuxi walked out of the side hall, Shen Ying and Xiaodie had already left the main entrance of the Daxiong Palace. Zhu Yuyu walked slowly to the window and looked out, only to see Shen Ying greeted a middle-aged man dressed as a rich businessman, and then He silently nodded to the young man standing next to the rich businessman.

Suddenly, Zhu Yuyou keenly noticed that there was eye contact between the young man and Shen Ying, and Zhu Yuyou could even feel the affection in Shen Ying's eyes.

"Is this the man she's looking for?" Zhu Yuyou said silently.

Zhu Yu looked at the young man.

At first glance, this person's appearance doesn't seem surprising. On the surface, this person is not as handsome as the young man behind him.

Obviously he is a very ordinary person, but Zhu Yuyu feels that he is a little different from others, but what is different, Zhu Yuyu can't tell for a while.

At this moment, the young man waved his hand lightly, and then the subordinates led by this man were divided into two rows, protecting Shen Ying and the young man in the middle.

Suddenly, Zhu Yu knew why this man was different from others.

This man seems to have a temperament!
This person waved his hand lightly just now, this action couldn't be more natural, but Zhu Yu felt that such a simple action seemed to contain great energy.

At this moment, the man's head turned slightly, and his gaze directly met Zhu Yu's eyes.

There are several swords in Zhou Wang's mansion, Zhu Yu has seen these swords before, and each one is extremely sharp.

But when this person looked at her, Zhu Yu felt that this person's gaze was sharper than those swords, and felt that the whole person seemed to be pierced by this person's gaze.

Suddenly this person's eyes changed, this person seemed to see that there was no malice in Zhu Yu's eyes, so his eyes became gentle.

This person seemed to be smiling, and Zhu Yu suddenly felt as if a spring breeze was blowing on his face, and his whole body was warm.

Zhu Yuyu was a little dazed!
Who is he?Immediately, Zhu Huihou felt that his curiosity seemed to be aroused!
When she woke up, she realized that this person and his subordinates were no longer there.

Zhu Yu hurriedly called a maidservant beside her, and said a few words softly.

The maid nodded, and came out from the gate of the palace and said to a guard leader: "The princess ordered you to bring a few people to find out who these people are. In addition, the princess specially explained, don't scare them."

The leader of the guard nodded to accept the order, and called several subordinates to follow out in a hurry.

Li Jing, Shen Zheng and the others returned to their residence to rest for a while, and then asked Zhu Zi to pack their luggage.

"Nephew Xian is leaving now?" Shen Zheng said.

Li Jingjing nodded: "Leave in the afternoon."

Shen Zheng thought for a while and said: "Alright, you go early and come back early, I will try my best to sell that batch of jewels earlier, besides, I counted them last night, this year, my second brother Shen Yi has saved a total of There are more than 5 shi of grain, including more than 3 shi of polished rice and more than 2 shi of brown rice. Will these grains be transported together? If they are shipped, I have to ask Shen Yi to make preparations."

"Can we store these grains in the mountains?" Li Jing asked.

Shen Zheng smiled and said: "Let it go, when you were tinkering with the gunpowder, many caves were blown up in the mountains, so it is no problem to put fifty thousand shi of grain."

"In that case, let's transport it away. The food from the third uncle's side will also be transported back to the mountain." Li Jing said with a smile.

Shen Zheng nodded, and suddenly said sternly: "Nephew, there has been news of a severe drought in Shaanxi this year. It is said that there may be no crops this autumn. Shall we transport some grain to help the victims?"

Li Jing thought for a while and nodded and said: "This matter has to be done by the people in Xi'an. I will write a letter to Ma Wu and ask him to arrange a capable person to sit in Xi'an. Let's do this, Luoyang is close to Xi'an, Let third uncle send [-] shi of grain to Xi'an."

After pondering for a while, Li Jing continued: "Uncle, we have to increase our efforts to purchase grain to prepare for emergencies."

"Okay, but to store so much food in the mountains, I'm afraid we have to blow up a few caves." Shen Zheng smiled.

Li Jing smiled and said: "No problem, this time we not only have to blow up the cave, but also open the road, otherwise, so much food will not be lucky to enter the mountain. I will write a letter to Gao Qi and ask him to order Zheng Yucheng to take the red The road from the mountains to Qi County has been opened. In addition, there are also roads from Hongshan Mountains to Laohuling and Wanbai Mountains, and these grains must be stored in the valleys of Wanbai Mountains, so that they are safe."

"Since the road is being built, I will buy more cotton cloth and other things. It seems that winter is coming, so I need to prepare more of these things. When I come to Kaifeng this time, I just buy them back together." Shen Zheng said with a smile.

Li Jing smiled and said, "Uncle, you can make up your mind on this matter. But Zhang Ao is not here, so don't be tired. It would be great if Jixian was here, and I can help you."

Shen Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not too old to move! Don't let him come back first. I heard from the third son that this kid has done a good job in the south, and the businesses he bought are very prosperous."

After pondering for a while, Shen Zheng continued: "Nephew, there is something I've always wanted to tell you, but I just don't know how to say it?"

"Uncle, my grandfather, you are still polite. If you have anything to do, you can always tell me directly. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you." Li Jing smiled.

Shen Zheng nodded and continued: "That's it. My second brother has two sons who are useless, they are Jixian's elder brother. Can you let them go to the mountains to do something, just as an experience?"

Li Jing said with a smile: "What's the matter? You can just make up your own mind. What are you going to discuss with me?"

Shen Zheng shook his head and said: "These two boys are far worse than Ji Xian. Originally, after the Shen family went through this incident, I thought they would be able to make a difference. After the amnesty, these two boys are more frivolous than before, so I just I want to take them to the mountains to hone their skills."

Li Jingjing nodded, knowing that Shen Yi's two sons are called Jizu and Jizong. They are indeed not as stable as Jixian. Seeing that his nephew is useless?

"Uncle, it's good to let the two of them go to the mountain to experience it, but I'm afraid they won't be able to bear the hardship." Li Jing said.

"If you can't endure hardship, you have to suffer, otherwise, the second child's family business will be defeated by these two boys sooner or later." Shen Zhengdao.

Li Jing shook his head and said to himself, it's okay if you watch it yourself, otherwise it's useless.

But it's hard to say that.

After lunch, Li Jing took Zhu Zi and galloped to Suizhou.

Suizhou is actually the current Sui County, more than [-] miles away from Kaifeng.

Li Jing and others rushed to the horse and finally arrived in Suizhou after running for a day.

Yuan Keli lived in Luyuan, Nancheng, Suizhou. Zhuzi lived here for more than half a year. The gatekeeper's family had known each other for a long time. Seeing that Zhuzi came back with several people, he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he hurriedly opened the door and invited them in.

Yuan Keli's house is huge in size, and the decoration is simple and elegant. At first sight, Li Jing thought it was the residence of a corrupt official.
