Chapter 71: Too Courageous
The next day, Zhang Jiuyan set out early. Last night, Zhang Jiuyan gave his mother ten taels of silver for household use.
He also told his parents to take good care of Zhang Guicheng's family and come to Ai's house to find him if he has any problems. He will come home if he has time.
As for the remaining 280 taels of silver, Zhang Jiuyan took twenty taels with him, and dug a hole under the bed the rest of the night and hid it.
Before leaving, Zhang Jiuyan also came to the homes of Zhang Guiyun, Zhang Yuancheng, Zhang Mingwang and Zhang Guiwen. He gave them a piece of advice, so that they could take the rickshaw with peace of mind and find themselves at any time if they had any problems.
When the four of them learned that Zhang Jiuyan had a better future, they were naturally happy for Zhang Jiuyan and congratulated each other, so there was no need to mention these.
After walking steadily, Zhang Jiuyan did not go to the county town, but walked directly on the small road. Although it was far away and more than 30 miles away, Zhang Jiuyan set out early and naturally arrived early.
When Zhang Jiuyan arrived at Ai Mansion, Ai Zhao had just gotten up.
I have to say that rich people are rich people. When others get up early to survive, they fully enjoy life and wake up naturally. This is the gap.
Zhang Jiuyan came to Ai Mansion, changed into a long blue gown, a pair of black boots, and tied his hair with a piece of gray cloth on his head. When he put on the clothes, he felt a bit elegant.
If the head is replaced with a soap scarf hat, it will be almost the same as the owners of the county government.
This is the usual dress he often dressed up these days. Now that Zhang Jiuyan wants to obey Aizhao, he is of course classified as the most common one.
After dressing up, Zhang Jiuyan waited for a long time before hearing Ai Zhao's order to call him, so Zhang Jiuyan hurried forward.
When he got closer, Ai Zhao was checking the accounts in the account room. Ai Zhao didn't raise his head and said, "From now on, you will listen to me, and you will be your life anytime."
"Yes, Master."
Zhang Jiuyan agreed respectfully, stepped aside, and said silently.
At this time, there were two maids next to Aizhao serving. The two little maids were both fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a long white dress, which was also pleasing to the eye.
However, the purpose of Zhang Jiuyan's trip was to improve his abilities and increase his knowledge, so he didn't look at them much.
However, Zhang Jiuyan didn't look at him much, but the two maids looked at Zhang Jiuyan intentionally or unintentionally.
They also heard about Zhang Jiuyan's name. They asked for 1,300 taels of silver for Aizhao's debt, but they only paid 700 taels, so he had 600 taels left.
This is an incredible wealth, which has already compared countless people. It is enough to be a small landlord and live a comfortable life.
Looking at Zhang Jiuyan, he is also handsome and handsome, and he is really a good match.
Which girl is not in love with her? The two maids were all in a state of mind at this time, thinking how great it would be if they could get married with Zhang Jiuyan.
It is quite boring to be on duty and be a family master.
Because for a master like Aizhao, there are actually not many things that really need to be handled, and there are dedicated people in all aspects to be responsible. Even if he ignores it all year round, nothing will happen.
Because of this, Zhang Jiuyan followed him and had nothing to do, but he was quite bored. He just stood aside and looked like a wooden man.
However, everything has two sides. Just following Ai Zhao like this, he listened badly. After a few days, Zhang Jiuyan felt a sense of nourishing energy.
On this day, Ai Zhao was practicing writing in the study. The seventh concubine Zheng Mengyun came, and a maid was following him, holding a cup of soup in her hand.
After Zheng Mengyun came in, she was immediately attracted by Zhang Jiuyan on the side.
Zheng Mengyun had long heard that the boy who broke into his room that day was now around Aizhao.
After learning this news, Zheng Mengyun was itchy. For some reason, she wanted to see Zhang Jiuyan every day, and that day Zhang Jiuyan's appearance often echoed in her mind.
But for some reason, Ai Zhao has not gone to her room for some reason, so she has never been able to meet Zhang Jiuyan.
Zheng Mengyun smiled at the corner of her mouth, and Zhang Jiuyan was all over her eyes.
Zhang Jiuyan felt Zheng Mengyun's different gaze and was slightly shocked, but he did not dare to forget his identity. He just nodded to her, saying hello.
Zheng Mengyun was very satisfied with Zhang Jiuyan's calm attitude. She felt that Zhang Jiuyan was a mature young man with a mature atmosphere, and was much more stable than an ordinary young man.
He didn't dare to stay too much on Zhang Jiuyan. Zheng Mengyun smiled charmingly and said to Ai Zhao, who was still concentrating on practicing calligraphy: "Master, I have cooked you longan and lotus seed soup. Master, please drink it while it's hot."
As he said that, Zheng Mengyun put a bowl in a small bowl and delivered it to Ai Zhao.
Ai Zhao put down his brush, happily took the small bowl of soup from Zheng Mengyun's hand, took a few sips, and laughed happily, "Xiaoyun, your soup making skills are getting more and more powerful."
Zheng Mengyun chuckled, and her two slender and white little hands wrapped around Ai Zhao's neck and said coquettishly: "Master, why can't you see the master these days? Do you dislike me?"
Ai Zhao smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking, "Master, I want to go to your room more, but Master, I have trouble saying it."
If it were in the past years and Ai Zhao was in good health, he would probably have to start doing business even in the study.
But at this time, he was powerless.
The maids on the side stepped back with tactfulness. Seeing this, Ai Zhao frowned.
Zhang Jiuyan observed Ai Zhao's expression and attitude, and recalled that Ai Zhao had been sleeping alone every day these days, and muttered to himself that there were seven or eight wives at home, all of whom were young and beautiful, like flowers and jade, and sleeping alone, which was not normal.
When I think of Aizhao's tall and thin body, I know the reason immediately.
Isn’t this the old cow who lived up to his courage and was hiding from his wife to nourish his energy?
Zhang Jiuyan quickly stepped forward and said to Ai Zhao: "Master, the shopkeeper of the silk shop is still waiting in the account room. It's going to be dark and it's too late. I'm afraid the shopkeeper will not be able to enter the city."
"Yes, yes, Xiaoyun, you wait first."
Ai Zhaoru received a general amnesty and put Zheng Mengyun's little hand off his neck, then strode out of the study.
Zhang Jiuyan followed closely, but when he passed by Zheng Mengyun, Zheng Mengyun grabbed Zhang Jiuyan with one hand.
Zhang Jiuyan was shocked. He didn't expect that she was so bold. Ai Zhao was a few steps away. Are you afraid of being discovered by him?
Zhang Jiuyan looked back in surprise and was facing Zheng Mengyun's eyes.
