Straight man of steel

Chapter 23 Where is the way? (ask for a recommendation ticket)

Zhang Yuan quickly went through the question in his mind that he had thought about after meeting Zhuo Wenjun yesterday, took a deep breath and said to Zhuo Wangsun.

"The villain does have a small idea as the eldest lady said, but this matter is too complicated and needs to be considered again.

I also ask the owner to allow the villain some time, after the matter of forging the iron pot is on the right track, the villain will spare no effort to perfect this idea. "

Farmers don’t slaughter sheep directly to make woolen clothes, but they cut off all the wool on their bodies and wait for the wool to grow again, so that there can be a steady stream of wool.

Zhuo Wangsun won't do things like killing chickens and taking eggs, and he doesn't want to push Zhang Yuan too hard. Now that Zhang Yuan has the jade pendant given by Wei Xin, the son of the Marquis of Jianling, he took it to find Wang Ji, the magistrate of Linqiong County. Well, Wang Ji will definitely help Zhang Yuan go to Chang'an, if such a situation really happens, it will be Zhuo Wangsun who regrets it.

"The old man believes that you won't let the old man down, A Yuan. Don't push yourself too hard. Go down and get busy. The old man will greet you at the ironworks. After you go, you will naturally cooperate with you."

"Thank you, Master."

Seeing Zhuo Wangsun waving his hand, Zhang Yuan bowed and retreated.

After Zhang Yuan left, Zhuo Wenjun came out from behind the screen in the study and sat beside Zhuo Wangsun.

"Father, Zhang Yuan looks young, but his mind is a little deep and terrifying."

Zhuo Wangsun heard that his daughter had the same feeling on his face, and a sad expression appeared on his face.

"When this boy chose to close the shop when Zhuo's restaurant was the hottest before, my father felt that this boy's understanding of people's hearts is far more thorough than ours, but at the previous banquet in the mansion, he became angry with Sima Xiangru. If he really has such a mind, he shouldn't have acted like this that day."

Having said that, Zhuo Wangsun paused for a moment, then continued with another intriguing expression.

"However, as a father, I heard people in the mansion often say that Sima Xiangru wanted to find you several times. Could it be that Zhang Yuan's son was really moved by you, Wen Jun, and that's why he repeatedly targeted Sima Xiangru at the banquet. .”

Zhuo Wangsun's guess seemed to have touched the soft spot in Zhuo Wenjun's heart, which made Zhuo Wenjun suddenly shy.

"How can a child know what is sincerity? Father, you just said that to make fun of me."

Zhuo Wangsun still hopes that his daughter can get out of the grief of losing her husband as soon as possible, and then deliberately made fun of Zhuo Wenjun and said.

"Oh? Wen Jun, didn't you tell Zhang Yuan before that your younger brother was already married and had children at his age, why do you despise other people's age now, haha."

Zhuo Wangsun, the father, directly tore off Zhuo Wenjun's fig leaf, and immediately Zhuo Wenjun stood up from his chair, stamped his feet angrily, and ran out.

Zhuo Wangsun hadn't seen Zhuo Wenjun like this since she got married. Even if he had a lot of dissatisfaction with Zhang Yuan before, now because of the changes in his daughter, those dissatisfaction have faded a little.

Back in his room, Zhang Yuan only felt a chill on his back. The two father and daughter had already made him feel uneasy. Linqiong was just a remote place for the big man, and Zhang Yuan had already walked on thin ice. what would it be like.

Zhang Yuan has lost his expectations for Chang'an and only wants to escape from the Zhuo family, find a deserted place, and live a life without calculations and disputes.

At that time, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty ordered the opening and closing of beams, and the ban on Shanze was relaxed.As a result, a group of merchants like Zhuo Wangsun took advantage of the loopholes and recruited refugees from all over the world to open iron mines and mine salt for them. This is the reason why merchants like them became rich.

But at this moment, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was dissatisfied with the fact that the princes and merchants of the Han Dynasty were too rich. The merchants who died first were those who mined, smelted and sold salt to cast copper coins privately.

In the end, if Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun came together, it would be fine. The Zhuo family might have escaped because of Sima Xiangru's cover, but now Zhang Yuan has ruined Sima Xiangru's good deeds. If Zhuo Wenjun followed Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan Ke may not be able to guarantee the safety of the entire Zhuo family, and may even involve himself in it.

The best way to leave the Zhuo family is to go to Chang'an. Zhuo Wangsun will never dare to go to the Jianlinghou's mansion to trouble Zhang Yuan, but for the next 50 years, Chang'an will be the center of the storm for the whole man. The emperor will be angry and care who you are. It's still the princes and kings, let's cut them all down.

No matter who you take refuge in, it is not safe, unless you can hide under the skirts of the most powerful women in the big man.

Living far away in the mountains seems to be the only way for Zhang Yuan to settle down in this world.

"Xiao Qing pack a few pieces of clothes that I usually change, sir. I have to go to the workshop for some time tomorrow, sir."

Hearing that Zhang Yuan was going to the workshop, Xiao Qing suddenly became extremely wronged.

"How long will it take you to come back, son?"

The workshop only allowed Zhang Yuan to go there alone, and a young and beautiful girl like Xiaoqing was determined not to live there for long, maybe in the middle of the night, some desperadoes who hadn't seen a woman for many years would come to Xiaoqing.

"If you're lucky, you only need three or four days. If you're not lucky, you may have to live for half a month."

"My servant can't bear to leave you."

Xiao Qing suddenly said these words, as if she was telling Zhang Yuan her true feelings.

"Young Master, I think you are not reluctant to part with me, but you are reluctant to part with those stir-fried vegetables. These days, I have not fattened myself up, but instead raised you, a servant girl, to look a little better."

Although Xiaoqing has only replenished oil and water for half a month, her whole body looks like it is about to redevelop. The places that should grow flesh seem to have grown a lot, and her small face has become much rounder.

"My lord, the servant girl is really just reluctant to part with you."

"Okay, you can go to the restaurant to help me while I'm gone. This arrangement will help you lessen your longing for me."

Xiaoqing then directly proved the fact that Zhang Yuan didn't have some important dishes in her heart. The corners of her drooping mouth suddenly lifted, and a smile bloomed on her face.

"Thank you son, the servant girl will go and pack your clothes for you."

This change of face made Zhang Yuan realize that he was humiliating himself.

At the end of the night, I enjoyed a professional massage from Xiaoqing. My whole body put aside the worries of the day, completely relaxed and then fell asleep. Finally, I dreamed of the person wearing a white dress jumping in the middle of the flower field, and looking back from time to time. Take a look at Zhang Yuan's girl.

Zhang Yuan was in a dream, so he didn't know it was a dream, he just wanted to grab the girl's hand, feeling that she could bring him back to the original world.
