The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 25 Risk
The bridal chamber is full of candles, when the golden list is titled.

For Zhang Zhou, he took almost all of these two things at once, and it was doubled and then doubled, which made people feel a little bit reluctant to leave.

But this night, for Zhang Zhou, there are still some regrets... That is, the two children are too young, even if they have their own room, they cannot completely sleep alone, and they always need to be accompanied by their mother So much so that this "bridal chamber flower candle" is a bit sneaky.

Sui Sui goes to bed early, while Zhang Jun is more noisy.

Fortunately, the child sleeps more safely in the first half of the night, and he doesn't have to worry about getting up at night, and then Zhang Zhou has a chance to live in the "three-person world".

As the matriarch of the family, Jiang Pingyu is beautiful, generous, gentle and virtuous.

As Zhang Zhou's concubine, Han Qing was lively and playful, which made Zhang Zhou feel that Han Qing was more like an older child. However, because of his lower family status, this older child asked Zhang Zhou for whatever he wanted. Zhang Zhou needed to discuss some matters with Jiang Pingyu, but when it came to Han Qing, sometimes Zhang Zhou didn't even need to say anything, and Han Qing would take the initiative with just a look.

Coupled with Zhang Zhou's recent progress in work and life, as well as family responsibility, Jiang Pingyu let go of her reserve.

As such...

Zhang Zhou had this beautiful night.

It's just that after everything was over, the relationship could not be further enhanced. Jiang Pingyu and Han Qing still had to go back to accompany their children, so that Zhang Zhou felt that he was in a world of ice and fire.

Fortunately, enjoy what you should enjoy, even if you sleep alone, you will feel refreshed and have a long aftertaste.

More importantly, this is not seeking pleasure in the land of wind and moon, but the ordinary life of my own family, which makes me more comfortable.

……

……

Early the next morning, Jiang Pingyu and Han Qing went out with their children.

They have to go back to the original yard to do the aftermath of the move, and then according to what Zhang Zhou said last night, they have to hire a maid to come back. There is always a fire in the yard to cook, wash and sweep the floor, although Han Qing is competent in terms of children. , but some manual work is best hired to do it.

Originally, Jiang Pingyu was unwilling to spend the money, but what Zhang Zhou meant was that now it is time to raise people and gradually return to their original life. Hiring maids is not buying maids. Hiring them back with a contract system and dismissing them at any time is equivalent to Hire a peasant girl who can come over to help with the work during the slack season.

For Zhang Zhou, there is no big requirement for a maid, just ask a nearby woman to come back to help.

But what Jiang Pingyu meant was that if you want to hire young girls who can work outside the city, although they may not necessarily have working experience, and often need to be mentioned, the point is that it is cheap, as long as you can manage food and housing, and please The women who help in the city also have a lot of things to do.

Even so, Zhang Zhou didn't know if Jiang Pingyu had other intentions.

Another thing is that Jiang Pingyu is going to buy some pots of chrysanthemums back.

Jiang Pingyu was born into a wealthy family, she has no hobbies, she just likes to play with some potted plants, and with Zhang Zhou's family downfall, she has given up this hobby for a long time.

Now it’s finally time to pick it up, it’s just about to go to Chongyang Festival, and the potted chrysanthemums are easy to grow and the price is not high these days, implying that reunion is good, so Jiang Pingyu said that she would buy more.

This is nothing to Zhang Zhou.

He also made it clear to Jiang Pingyu that there is no need to ask him, the head of the family, for instructions on everything in the family.

The head of the family is responsible for external affairs.

……

……

That morning, Zhang Zhou settled accounts at home.

Finally, there is no need to set up a table in the yard as a temporary desk, the room is bright, and there is no need to worry about the wind blowing the scroll when writing and drawing.

On that day, he wanted to calculate how much he had left, and he was going to sell the existing rice...

On the way, Liu Gui came in to give away the newly made furniture, and Liu Gui was called into the room by Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou mentioned to him about selling rice.

"Master Zhang, the price of food is going up outside now, why are you so anxious to sell it?"

Liu Gui was clever, he couldn't understand Zhang Zhou's behavior of throwing away goods when the food price was still rising.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Based on my calculations, the price of rice grains is about to rise to the top. In the future, the price of rice grains will tend to be stable, but if Cheng Guogong's government sells grains in large quantities, the market price will even drop, not by a small margin. "

Zhang Zhou did this business through historical knowledge.

He is very clear that although food prices did not return to normal until October, there is still a process of falling. It is actually very difficult to grasp a peak value. Big dealer.

Zhu Feng is going to the capital to do big things. Since Zhang Zhou has promised Zhu Feng to take care of the rice grain business of Cheng Guogong's mansion, he must try his best to catch up with the peak, otherwise how can he show that he is awesome?
If Cheng Guogong sells the goods, the volume is very large, and the market price of rice grains will fall.

In this way, Zhang Zhou must have sold the rice earlier than Cheng Guogong's, so as not to appear in the situation of "hitting himself".

"Besides, I still have some debts to pay off, and the sale of rice grains will take place before mid-September. Recently, you have time to go to the water gate to have a look. If there are a large number of grain ships entering the city, you must do so as soon as possible. notice me……"

Zhang Zhou also had to prevent emergencies.

The butterfly effect he has produced has already appeared. The market these days lacks control, and it is easy to experience skyrocketing and plummeting situations. If the pace of local disaster relief and food price stabilization is faster at this time, then he will be caught by the butterfly effect he produced. Be pitted.

Zhang Zhou considered all kinds of unexpected situations that might arise.

"Yes!"

Liu Gui is fine.

Anyway, it’s just running errands. Here, Zhang Zhou has already promised to officially hire him as the shopkeeper after selling the rice. Although Zhang Zhou’s business doesn’t even have a storefront, because Zhang Zhou is a juror, Liu Gui feels that he has already been approached. It's high branch.

……

……

The morning of the second day of September.

In the Wenhua Hall of the Imperial Palace, Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youtang was attending a sutra banquet, and many civil servants in the Hanlin Academy system were on the list.

It was Chen Kuan, the eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies and held a pen, hurried over and whispered something in Zhu Youtang's ear. Zhu Youtang immediately stood up, ignoring the famous Confucianism he respected present, and went straight to Wenhua. temple.

Zhonghanlin is also very strange.

It was very unconventional for the emperor to interrupt the Sutra banquet suddenly. The audience was gone, so the preaching had to be stopped first.

There was a bit more noise in Wenhua Hall.

After Zhu Youtang left the Wenhua Palace, he went straight to Kunning Palace accompanied by his servants. At this time, Empress Zhang was sitting on a chair in the main hall of Kunning Palace, wiping away tears.

"His Majesty……"

When Queen Zhang saw her husband coming, she stood up to greet her.

Zhu Youtang said with a nervous expression: "I heard that the epidemic sometimes spread in the palace, and it even spread to the west hall of Kunning Palace. What happened?"

Empress Zhang wept unceasingly. A eunuch kneeling on the ground was Zhang Yong, the imperial eunuch who was in charge of the daily affairs of the Kunning Palace. , developed acne one after another, and one of them was still... Although they have been sent out of the palace gate, they have all served the princess close recently... At present, a few palace maids have been temporarily transferred from the side of the West Palace, and no one else is allowed to approach ..."

After Zhu Youtang heard this, anger rushed to his face in an instant, and he said sharply: "The palace has always strictly guarded against epidemics, why did the epidemic spread to the palace, and also to my family?"

After all, Zhu Youtang has only one wife, and his wife and children often get together in Kunning Palace. The epidemic should not spread to Kunning Palace.

Chen Kuan reminded from the side: "Your Majesty, the princess has come to Kunning Palace every day in the past few days to have meals with Her Majesty and the Empress..."

Chen Kuan's meaning was obvious.

Although the current situation of the little princess is not optimistic and she has been quarantined, even the two of you, Your Majesty and Queen, are at risk of contracting smallpox if things go wrong.

Zhu Youtang couldn't help but close his eyes when he heard the words, twisted his head, and there was an indescribable sadness on his face.
