Chapter 42 Don’t let the goblins in Fanlou make noise... (Second update!)

He was determined to take the initiative, but he was a little dumbfounded because he didn't know how to contact Zhang Heng.

Looking for Zeng Gongliang?

People were too lazy to pay attention to him. Although Zeng Gongliang was said to be greedy for money, he was still a high-ranking official in the imperial court. He could easily make a fortune, but if he really wanted to sell his disciples for money, he would not do it.

Moreover, at this time, Zeng Gongliang had no time to pay attention to him.

Chang Li thought for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

…

Zhou's Pawn Shop.

Zhou Guiping was drinking tea leisurely in the shop.

The pawn shop business is very good in the New Year. At the end of the year, people either pawn something to celebrate the New Year or repay debts. However, during the New Year period, there will be a short off-season. But once the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passes, the pawn shop business will become worse again.

Hot, because after the New Year, many people’s lives will soon become embarrassing again...

So this is a rare period of leisure.

Of course Zhou Guiping came to the store to take a break.

Of course there is no leisure at home.

As a shopkeeper, Zhou Guiping is considered to be the best in the family. If he goes home, relatives will come to visit him every day, and he has to spend a lot of time to entertain them. At the beginning, it was okay, and he still felt that he had face.

, but in the past few years, he felt a little annoyed, because relatives came to visit either to borrow money or to ask him to help with planning work...

So he came to the pawn shop to take refuge and enjoy the rare leisure.

Suddenly, he frowned.

A carriage stopped at the door.

Zhou Guiping sighed slightly.

No more leisure time.

When he raised his head, he was a little surprised.

An unexpected person stood at the door.

Zhou Guiping's eyes lit up: "Boss Chang, why are you here?"

Chang Li stepped into the store and said with a smile, "Why can't I come?"

Zhou Guiping laughed and said: "Fan Lou is making money every day. If you, the boss, appear here, people will not think that you are here to pawn something. They will probably think that you are here to buy my small pawn shop. If this spreads, who would dare?"

Are you coming to my place to sell things again?"

Chang Li laughed loudly, pointed at Zhang Guiping and laughed: "Shopkeeper Zhou, you have such a mouth..."

Shopkeeper Zhou quickly asked Chang Li to sit down, made a new pot of tea, and then said: "Boss Chang is busy with business. What advice can you give me when you come here today?"

Chang Li shook his head and said, "I don't dare to give you advice. I came here today to ask shopkeeper Zhou for help."

Zhou Guiping narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh, please tell me, Boss Chang. If there is anyone who can help, I will definitely be obliged."

Chang Li smiled and said: "I would like shopkeeper Zhou to introduce Zhang Heng, a disciple of your master's family. I have been famous for a long time..."

Shopkeeper Zhou suddenly looked a little unhappy, and Chang Li secretly cried out that something was wrong. As expected, Shopkeeper Zhou said calmly: "Oh, why is this, Boss Chang?"

Chang Li hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, Shopkeeper Zhou. I want to hold a New Year's Eve poetry meeting. As you know, Zhang Heng is now the most famous poet of the younger generation. I want to invite him to contribute to the poetry meeting.

Absolutely no other meaning."

Chang Li calmly took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and placed it on the table. Shopkeeper Zhou, as an old minister, glanced lightly and raised his eyebrows: "Boss Chang, you..."

Chang Li smiled and said: "I also ask shopkeeper Zhou to help me with this."

Shopkeeper Zhou lowered his eyes, his mind was working rapidly, and after a while he nodded slightly: "I'm just here to help you. You guys can talk about it on your own, but I have something to say to Boss Chang."

Chang Li was overjoyed: "Shopkeeper Zhou, please tell me."

Shopkeeper Zhou suddenly opened his eyes, stared into Chang Li's eyes and said: "My boss values ​​this disciple very much. He will pursue an official career in the future. Boss Chang, please don't let the young man make mistakes. If something unexpected happens,

Things, I’m afraid there’s someone behind Boss Chang who can’t protect Fan Lou.”

Chang Li was startled and quickly assured: "This is impossible. I will definitely not have any bad intentions. Shopkeeper Zhou must rest assured."

Shopkeeper Zhou laughed and flicked his hand lightly, as if brushing away the dust on the table. The jade pendant had disappeared. He said: "Boss Chang wants to take a fancy to Yingying Yanyan in your building. Zhang Sanlang is talented and human-like."

, don’t let the goblins in Fan Lou make noise..."

This was also a warning. Chang Li silently wrote it down and said with a smile: "Please ask Shopkeeper Zhou for help."

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and nodded.

…

There will be snow on New Year’s Day.

However, this did not hinder the Zhang brothers who wanted to make a fortune, so they went to set up a stall early in the morning. There was only snowflakes flying in the morning, but at noon, there was heavy snowfall, and there were very few people in Daxiangguo Temple.

So I had to close the stall and go home.

The three brothers returned to the yard with their burdens and saw the carriage parked outside the yard. Thick snow had accumulated on the carriage. It seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.

When the coachman saw the three brothers, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly asked: "But the Zhang family Xianzhong is in person?"

Zhang Jun was a little surprised, but still said: "Next, Zhang Jun, may I ask who you are?"

The coachman said happily: "I am a coachman, and my boss is Fan Loudong's boss. I have something to discuss with Zhang Sanlang."

He turned around and quickly opened the curtain of the carriage, revealing a smiling face. His eyes passed over the faces of the three brothers, and then locked his eyes on Zhang Heng's face. He quickly cupped his hands, and then got off the carriage to bow.

He said: "I am a regular courtesy and have met Xian Zhong."

The three brothers quickly put down their burdens and returned the gift.

Zhang Jun said: "Boss Chang, go inside. It's too cold here. And this big brother, please go and have a cup of hot water together. You're going to freeze."

The coachman waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I have to take care of the horses here to prevent them from freezing."

Zhang Xun felt a little distressed when he saw the horses stamping their feet in the snow. He nodded and said, "Then you go about your business."

Zhang Heng opened the courtyard door and rushed in. Zhang Shu quickly turned on the stove, and the room became hot after a while.

Chang Li looked at the small building carefully and nodded secretly.

The house is a bit shabby, but the layout is quite elegant. There are not too many messy things and it is neatly tidied up. This alone is enough to show the owner's cultivation.

Zhang Heng made a cup of tea. Chang Li took a sip and his eyes lit up: "This tea tastes very good. Where did you buy this new tea?"

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "This is a gift from my teacher. I don't know what kind of tea it is. It tastes really refreshing."

Chang Li said oh, but he felt quite uneasy. As expected, shopkeeper Zhou was telling the truth. I had only heard of disciples giving things to teachers, but I had never seen teachers giving things to disciples. It seemed that Zeng Gongliang was really worried.

This disciple of his.

Zhang Jun asked: "Boss Chang, last time the teacher said you would give my third brother a discount. Although we haven't been there yet, we still want to thank you."

Chang Li hurriedly said modestly: "I came here today to thank Sanlang for naming "Fan Lou Nostalgic" after Fan Lou. Gui Xianzhong didn't know that because of this poem, Fan Lou's business improved by a full 30%. Chang was very happy.

I was grateful, but Sanlang didn't go to the building to eat, which made Chang feel uneasy, so he asked about it and came to express his thanks in person."

Thank you, thank you for your support, everyone voted with great enthusiasm, ha!
