Chang Da took Zhang Heng to the tea room she had set up in Fan Tower. Zhang Heng couldn't help but let out a secret wow as soon as he entered.

Chang Da actually set up a huge tea room in Fanlou, where Jin Doujin was. He scanned it and found that the tea room was at least two hundred square meters. The decoration inside was elegant and quiet, not as noisy as outside.

There are a lot of green plants inside, and it feels like you are in a jungle for a while.

Chang Da observed Zhang Heng's expression without revealing her expression. When she saw Zhang Heng's expression of surprise, Chang Da felt very happy, as if she had received great recognition. She had been decorating this tea room for a long time, and today we have just arrived.

Her first customer is also her only customer. Seeing that the customer is very satisfied, she is naturally very satisfied.

Chang Da said softly: "Does Sanlang like it?"

Zhang Heng smiled and nodded: "It's very quiet. Drinking tea and meditating here makes you feel like you have half a day's leisure."

Chang Da smiled and said: "As long as Sanlang likes it, no one else has been here before, you are the first one."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Heng felt something different in the air, and suddenly became a little more cautious.

Chang Da was keenly aware of this and quickly asked Zhang Heng to sit down. Then she took the main seat and began to make tea with her delicate hands.

After a while, the fire was lit, the hot water in the lake was boiling, and the aroma of tea also floated.

Zhang Heng didn't speak much, but Chang Da spoke softly and talked about the events of the past years. Originally, Zhang Heng enjoyed the relaxed feeling of meeting old friends, but as Chang Da recounted the events of the past years,

The twists and turns came one after another, but Zhang Heng couldn't help but sigh.

"...My father's health has been in poor condition in the past few years. Although it is not too serious, he is no longer suitable for running the business in the building. He has gradually been unable to remember things.

Those who run a restaurant have a lot of tedious things to do. Sometimes they have to receive dignitaries and so on. If some things are not remembered and ignored, it will definitely offend people.

My father felt that he was no longer qualified for the job, so he hoped that my brother would return home and take over the family business. My brother had no objection at first, but he only managed it for three months when he couldn't stand the extremely tedious work, so he ran away again.

For hundreds of years, we are the only one in the Chang family. The rest of the Chang family have been watching with eager eyes. Seeing that my brother is useless, someone proposed to adopt the brother under my father's name. The purpose is naturally to control this Fanlou.

Although my father is a little confused, how can he be willing to hand over his lifelong career to others? However, my brother doesn't like these things, and my father can't help it..."

At this point, Chang Da was a little lost, but she was only lost for a moment, and then she immediately continued.

"...I couldn't bear to see my father in distress every day, so he suggested that I help him manage the business in this building. Of course my father was absolutely willing, but how could the Chang family be so willing? They said that as a girl, I would sooner or later

If you want to get married, what qualifications do you have to take over Fan Lou?"

Chang Da looked at Zhang Heng and smiled and said: "Sanlang, what do you think I used to officially take over Fan Lou's business?"

Zhang Heng had already frowned. When he heard Chang Da ask him, Zhang Heng glanced at Chang Da and said, "Recruiting a wife?"

Chang Da's expression darkened, she nodded and said, "Yes, I'm looking for a wife."

"Only by recruiting a wife can I help my father keep the family business and allow my brother to travel around the world without any scruples..."

Chang Da gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said with a smile: "...Actually, there is nothing wrong with it. My brother doesn't like running the restaurant business, but I like it very much. I like this kind of life very much.

It feels really good to open the door to do business every day and see the property increase every day.

Even though I'm married, I don't have to look after my husband at home, and I won't have any sons. When my brother's son grows up in the future, I will naturally teach him well and hand over the restaurant to him. That's my task.

Done."

"Huh?" Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, and he was keenly aware of something wrong, "Why don't you have a son?"

Chang Da took a deep look at Zhang Heng and said: "I found my current husband by myself, and I have an agreement with him. In this marriage, what I get is a name, and what he gets is money. Every month I

Give him a lot of money, whether he wants to squander it or use it to support his family outside, that's up to him."

Zhang Heng was very surprised, and then sighed: "Why are you doing this? Although this Fan Tower is good, it is not worth what you have to pay.

Of course, your father has paid a lot for Fan Lou, but I tell the truth, this Fan Tower belongs to the Chang family, not your father alone.

If your brother is willing to accept it, that's all. If you don't want to accept it, why would you risk your life's happiness?"

After Chang Da heard Zhang Heng's words, her expression became a little cheered up, and she laughed softly: "No, actually, I am not doing it all for them, but for you!"

Zhang Heng was a little surprised, but said nothing.

Chang Da sighed: "Before, you three brothers were not from high backgrounds. Although you had a promising future, you didn't have much money. You also need money. Therefore, I have long wanted to control Fan Lou and then use Fan Lou's wealth to

attract you...

What a pity, I didn’t expect you, Sanlang, to be so good. Your studies are comparable to Wenquxing, and your earning is comparable to the God of Wealth. Now that you are an official, you have risen through the ranks. You are about to ascend to the position of Prime Minister at the age of just twenty.

…

It turns out that we were on the same level. If I had been bolder at that time, you would have been mine, but I didn't seize the opportunity..."

Chang Da stood up and walked among the green plants.

"...Knowing that you like to drink tea, I arranged the place like this, and then waited for two years before you came over for the first time."

Zhang Heng sighed and said: "Why are you doing this..."

Chang Da walked up to Zhang Heng, Yingying knelt down next to Zhang Heng, raised her head and looked at Zhang Heng and said: "It's not bitter, Sanlang. Being able to fall in love with you is the joy of my life."

Zhang Heng looked sideways into Chang Da's eyes. Chang Da's eyes were bright and bright, and they were really happy. Although there were some tears in them, it could be seen that she was really happy.

Chang Da said: "I am telling you this not to ask for anything from you, but because I have kept these words in my heart for too long, your status will become higher and higher, until one day, I will completely pursue you."

If I can't catch up with you, then you won't know about this love anymore, which will make me very regretful, so I must tell you these things today!"

Chang Da had a smile in her eyes: "Of course, if you are willing to give me a child, that would be even better."

Zhang Heng was startled: "Isn't this bad?"

Chang Da pursed her lips and smiled.

Zhang Heng finally ran away. Chang Da's love was so hot that he couldn't bear it at all, so he had no choice but to run away.

It's not that Zhang Heng is showing off, but that he really can't bear it.

His wife, Zeng Youwei, is still pregnant with a child. Why is he flirting with women outside at this time? This is not something he can do.

Moreover, Chang Da's identity is different. She is not an unmarried girl, but already married. If Zhang Heng had an affair with her, it would be adultery.

The Song Dynasty was relatively tolerant of adultery cases among the people, but was extremely strict on adultery cases among officials. The Song Dynasty clearly stipulated this.

Any official who commits adultery will be guilty of an additional level of crime.

Moreover, if an official commits the crime of adultery, it is not the attitude of the people that the official will not be held accountable, but that the official will be investigated to the end and, depending on the seriousness of the crime committed, he will be demoted or directly dismissed as a commoner.

How could Zhang Heng commit such a huge risk? He could only walk away and decided never to come to Fanlou again.

The time has come to April, and it has been more than two months since Zhang Heng came back. In the past two months, Zhang Heng, as the censor Zhongcheng, can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. In the two months of monthly lessons, he impeached two unlucky people. Of course,

, Zhang Heng did not hear about the incident, but had real reports, and he was accurate every time, which was quite frightening.

After all, other impeachments may have been based on hearsay, not real evidence. After being impeached, one may not lose his official position, but Zhang Heng's impeachment resulted in him directly losing his official position.

But this was only an internal matter, so there was no problem, because the officials Zhang Heng impeached were not too big, they were just right, and everyone knew that Zhang Heng did not want to cause trouble.

On the other hand, the transfer envoy exams hosted by Zhang Heng are quite commendable. If the exams handed over by Zhang Heng are carried out smoothly, everyone's life will be easier next year. As for the grievances of the transfer envoys who complained, they are not to blame anyway.

So no one cares.

However, this has nothing to do with the position of Yushi Zhongcheng.

Therefore, Zhang Heng believed that he, the censor Zhongcheng, would have to work for about half a year or even a year before he could be transferred, either as a prime minister, or as an equal to other senior officials, such as knowing Kaifeng Prefecture or becoming the third envoy.

But unexpectedly, in mid-April, an appointment came that surprised him very much.

Zhang Heng was transferred to the third envoy, the original Ye Qingchen went to another place, and the censor Zhongcheng was appointed by a man named Wang Juzheng.

Later generations probably didn't know much about such a person, but people in the Song Dynasty were quite familiar with this person named Wang Juzheng.

Because this Wang Juzheng is quite famous.

Wang Juzheng, courtesy name Bozhong, was a native of Zhending. His father was Wang Huaji. He was a steady and taciturn person, and used his shady skills as secretary and provincial school secretary.

Later, he married Chen Yaoyou's daughter. Afterwards, he was awarded the title of Jinshi, and was awarded the title of "Yi Que".

At that time, the Yushitai wanted to recommend his wife's younger brother Li Huizhi to be the Yushi, but he was opposed by Ju Zheng.

Li Huizhi was very angry and accused him: "My wife is so fierce that I can't control her. What's the point of seeking the country?"

Li Huizhi's words meant that if he couldn't take care of his wife, how could he take care of the country?

So Wang Juzheng was considered a cowardly and honest man, and was dismissed from his post. He was appointed Minister of Rites and went out to the capital to know Xuzhou.

Zhang Heng was really surprised and puzzled by this appointment.

First of all, he has only been the censor Zhongcheng for more than two months. Logically speaking, he would not be transferred so quickly. It would take half a year at the earliest.

And this Wang Juzheng's reputation is not good enough. How can He De replace himself?

Of course, although it is said that the position of Third Secretary is more suitable for him to use his talents, Ye Qingchen probably offended someone and is now transferred to a local appointment. Third Secretary needs a capable person to fill the hole, so it is appropriate for him to do it, but

Things always seem a little rushed, as if they are changed in order to achieve a certain purpose.

Sure enough, before Zhang Heng went to the Third Division to take up his post, there was a new appointment, but this appointment was not for Zhang Heng, but for Zhang Yaozuo.

Zhang Heng read Zhao Zhen's appointment to Zhang Yaozuo, and immediately understood why Zhao Zhen wanted to transfer him from the position of censor Zhongcheng.

Zhao Zhen appointed Zhang Yaozuo as the envoy of Xuanhui Nanyuan, the envoy of Huaikang Jiedu, and the envoy of Jingling Palace, and then the next day he added the envoy of Qunmu System.

Although the Jiedushi of the Song Dynasty was completely different from the Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, it was just a noble empty title and did not have much real power. The Jingling Palace envoy was also a sinecure, and the Xuanhui Nanyuan envoy was the chief official of Xuanhui.

, in charge of royal etiquette and accounting, and their status is similar to that of participating in political affairs, deputy privy envoy, and the envoy of the group herding system, who are in charge of horse affairs.
