Chapter 99 Zhang Sheng returns to Beijing
A month passed in a flash. At this time, Zhan Qian stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the direction of the pier. Yes, after a long journey, he finally returned to the capital.
However, his fleet was much larger than when he went there. In fact, there were not many things, just two ships of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and some miscellaneous things.
That’s right, there are only so many antique calligraphy and paintings, although the antique calligraphy and paintings were all broken into silver.
But when he was about to set off, the Zhejiang officials sent him back. It was a waste of money outside.
However, there are no high-quality items in this pile of things, and they are all products that will be on the table.
But Zhang Sheng didn't pick on it. If these two ships were sold, it would not be worth one or more than one or more taels.
And you also need to use it from your home. After all, the dignified Earl's Mansion must be on the table, right?
Zhang Sheng is not stupid. He didn't hand over all Yang Xin's treasures, so he left a few items. Adding these things, they can be considered a noble family.
Thinking about his gains this time, Zhang Sheng nodded with satisfaction. It was like a little bit. What does the short-selling Lord mean?
But Zhang Sheng thought again, it was wrong? Now that his Earl's Mansion has not been built yet? If he returns home, wouldn't these things be beaten by meat buns? No, no, you have to think of a solution.
Zhang Sheng thought for a long time and only came up with a solution when the boat was about to dock. He had arranged the manpower at the dock, and Zhang Ling and his son, who had been waiting for Zhang Sheng, also rushed here from their marquis' mansion?
After Zhang Sheng got off the boat, he ignored the servant who came up to say hello to him. Instead, he ordered Wang Yue to guard the two ships and no one was allowed to get close to the cabin if he didn't come back.
Then he took Zhou Dun and a few personal soldiers into the city. He first went to the Ministry of War to handle errands, and then walked straight to the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion.
That's right, the way he thought was to put things into the industry he had exchanged for first, which would be safer than putting them at home.
At the gate of the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, Zhang Sheng said, "Go quickly, call my brother Chen out, and say I'm waiting for him here, there is something urgent."
The disciple also knew Zhang Sheng, so he did not dare to neglect at all. He hurried in and called Chen Shunzhang.
After hearing what the disciple said, Chen Shunzhang knew what was going on, although he was a little amused and crying.
But I hurried to the door of the mansion, and soon arrived at the door, and then said, "I said, Brother Zhang, you are too anxious. Do you still trust me, brother? Don't worry, I've prepared it for you long ago. Come to the mansion, aren't you tired of standing outside?"
"Oh, brother, look where you said you went? Who of us will follow each other? Can I still believe you? That's what he is doing."
"When I came back from Jiangnan, those civil servants knew that I had a new house and had no foundation, so I gave me some antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Isn't there really no place to put it? I remembered that my brother came?" Zhang Sheng said
Chen Shunzhang said in his heart: "Pretending, keep pretending, just those stingy civil servants can give you how much things can they do? You can't let go? Do you think I'm as stupid as you?"
"Oh, it's really that way? It's my brother who misunderstood. I'll accompany you here, right?" Chen Shunzhang said.
"Oh, brother, don't want Moji anymore. Come with me quickly. If you collect the debt later, you will arrive." Zhang Sheng urged.
"I said, brother, you are so rich that you still owe others money? To be honest, who dares to let you owe money except the Ministry of Revenue?" Chen Shunzhang said
"Oh, I said, Brother Chen, don't talk about it anymore. When this matter is over today, I will visit you tomorrow and talk to you in detail." Zhang Sheng urged again
"Okay, okay, don't say it anymore, let's go quickly." Chen Shunzhang saw that Zhang Sheng was really anxious and stopped talking.
Zhang Sheng took Chen Shunzhang to hurry up, but he was still one step late. As soon as he arrived at the dock, he saw that his father was talking to Wang Yue.
When he walked in, Zhang Sheng was full of black lines.
"I said why are you so stupid? Then Sheng'er is my son, so it's okay if outsiders don't let him see him, why are you stopping your own family?"
"I'll tell you, when Sheng'er comes back, I will definitely let him punish you so that you can have a long memory." Zhang Ling scolded
"Sir, please see the Lord." Wang Yue bowed to Zhang Ling and said,
"Oh, now I know I'm scared. I'll tell you if I'm late. I'll let him wait for Sheng'er to come back." Before Zhang Ling finished speaking, he heard the coughing sound behind him and stopped talking.
"Ahem, dad, continue to say, why don't you say it? I'm so happy here?" Zhang Sheng said with a smile.
"Ah, Sheng'er, you are back, the speed is so fast, yo, Dingyuan Hou is here too? Then what, since Sheng'er, you are back, I'll feel relieved."
"I'll go back first. Sheng'er, you'll go home early after finishing your business. The family is waiting for you. When you come back, we'll start dinner. Dingyuan Hou, I'll lose my companion first." Zhang Ling said
"I know Dad, you go back first. I'll go back immediately after I finish my work." Zhang Sheng said
After his father left, Zhang Sheng said helplessly: "Brother, you know now why I was so anxious to find you just now, right?"
"Ah, haha, brother, don't you tell me, Ling Zun is really different from others?" Chen Shunzhang said
"Okay, brother, come on the boat and take a look, but there are a lot of things." Zhang Sheng said
"Oh? Then I'm going to open my eyes." Chen Shunzhang said
After arriving at the cabin, Chen Shunzhang was completely stunned when he saw everything in front of him. After a while, he said, "Brother, are there all these boxes?"
"Brother guessed it well. These boxes are all in the same boat next to it, and there are two whole boats, so I said there is no place to put it." Zhang Sheng said helplessly.
"No, brother, how did you do it? Those civil servants from Jiangnan are more stingy than the other. They are crazy about gaining and losing their hearts. I'll give you so much?" Chen Shunzhang asked.
"Brother, to be honest, I feel this trouble? When I came back, it was one on the left and one on the right, and I couldn't stop it."
"It's a long way to go, I just made such a whole ship of things. Brother, don't look at a lot of things, it's actually not worth much."
"It would be great if you could have one million taels of things from these two big ships." Zhang Sheng said
"Brother, it's different for a trip to Jiangnan. I don't take this million tael seriously? If you think it's troublesome, please give it to me. Brother, I don't think it's too much, the more the better." Chen Shunzhang said.
"Ah, brother, my dad asked me to go home for dinner just now. Do you think we are going to move things now?" Zhang Sheng said
