Zhu Wanquan looked at Zhu Hao with a slightly helpless expression.

That look seemed to say - it's not that you don't know the situation at home, and there is no essential difference between me and you, so it's better to excuse me for helping you intercede.

"Zhu Hao, I have always known that you have a famous teacher in the palace, but I don't know who the name of this famous teacher is, and where is he famous as a Confucianist? He can teach you so many things in a short period of time. It seems that he is only a man of eighth grade. Dou is a world famous artist."

Zhu Wanquan no longer wanted to test Zhu Hao's knowledge.

The insight that Zhu Hao showed unintentionally just now is by no means comparable to that of ordinary children.

Besides, Zhu Hao's knowledge has nothing to do with Zhu Wanquan. He just came here under the order of the old lady to test and discourage Zhu Hao's enthusiasm for learning, so that Zhu Niang's mother and son died of the desire to take the imperial examination. Who knows that people really have that ability... ...Zhu Wanquan felt that there was no need for him to be a villain in vain.

Zhu Hao said, "It's a Mr. Lu."

"What about the name?"

Zhu Wanquan felt very strange.

Only know the surname Lu?
There are so many people with the surname Lu in the world, why did the palace invite a gentleman back and even his real name became a secret?Even the Zhu family couldn't find out who this person was?

Juren surnamed Lu in Huguang, even students and Jinshi, have inquired one by one, but there is no specific news.

Zhu Hao shook his head with a smile, as if saying that I don't know, but what he really wanted to express was that I knew and didn't say anything.

Zhu Wanquan nodded without asking further questions.

"Since you intend to take the county examination next year, the uncle can't help you much besides blessing you." Although Zhu Wanquan wanted to help his nephew, he was powerless.

Zhu Hao said: "I know, the coming year will be a great year, and I also wish fourth uncle that you can be named on the list."

The uncle and nephew looked at each other and smiled.

No matter how stiff the relationship between the third bedroom of the Zhu family and the main family is, at least Zhu Wanquan has no ill will towards Zhu Niang, mother and son from the beginning to the end, and the uncle and nephew can maintain relative harmony.

……

……

Zhu Hao originally thought that he would spend a lot of time with Zhu Wanquan and ruin his plan.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Wanquan was so talkative, and he left the teahouse not long after, and Zhu Wanquan went to meet friends on his own... probably because Zhu Wanquan seldom came out to relax recently, and he didn't want to waste too much time on Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao is going to see Su Xigui's local contact, Shopkeeper Ma, soon.

Let Uncle Zhong go to say hello first, and Zhu Hao went to the laboratory before going to the appointment.

When I arrived at the place, it was a three-story pavilion, but I saw Su Xigui standing by the fence of the pavilion, chatting intimately with a woman, pointing to the distant and near scenery from time to time to comment.

Zhu Hao knew that woman, she was Liannu Fei, who was with him when he traveled from Jiujiang to Nanchang.

"Hey, Zhu Xiaodao... Come, come, let's talk, the scenery here is really nice."

Su Xigui was very happy to see Zhu Hao, and immediately sent out an invitation.

Zhu Hao managed to reach the third floor of the pavilion from the steep stairs, but he saw Su Xigui standing in front of the window, with the demeanor of a feather fan and a towel pointing the country.

Pretty shitty.

The lotus girl is like a bird leaning on the railing.

Zhu Hao couldn't help thinking, this lotus girl said before that she was betrothed to someone else, but her husband died before getting married, and she has been single since then, she is considered an older leftover woman... Could her real identity be Su Xigui's concubine raised outside?
Considering that Huang Zan used to be an official in Jiangxi, and the Sui family, a great merchant, had a close relationship with Huang Zan, even if Liannu herself was unwilling, it was not impossible for the Sui family to give Huang Zan a foreign residence.

"Little master, come on, look at the crisp autumn, the forests are dyed, and the fallen leaves are all over the sky, isn't it very poetic?" Su Xigui actually started to show his literary talents in front of women.

Zhu Hao said: "The fallen leaves are withered and yellow, and the sun is covered with withering. What is the poetic flavor?"

Su Xigui was originally in high spirits, but when he heard the words, it seemed as if someone had poured cold water on him, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

Liannu next to her saw Su Xigui's embarrassment, she pursed her lips and said a blessing: "Don't disturb the two of you talking about business, my concubine will wait downstairs first."

When Liannu walked downstairs, Su Xigui looked over, that eager look...as if there was something really wrong between the two of them.

……

……

"Su Dongzhu, where is this song coming from? Why did you come to Anlu suddenly? Didn't you say hello in advance?" After Liannu went downstairs and only Zhu Hao and Su Xigui were left on the third floor of the pavilion, Zhu Hao asked. One sentence.

Su Xigui waved his hand: "Don't mention it, I've been so busy recently, I finally returned to Huguang, I wanted to be quiet for two days, I wanted to relax in the provincial capital, but thinking of you... always makes me feel itchy, so I turned my way to An Lu. Anyway, it’s a pastime everywhere, and it’s the same in Anlu.”

Listen to what it means...

Seems like what's your plan for me?
Zhu Hao asked with a half-smile, "I don't know what is the relationship between Liannu and Su Dongzhu?"

Su Xigui glared at Zhu Hao, and frowned: "You boy, don't be fooled. Su has a daughter, and she is a sister in the boudoir. I have always regarded her as a nephew. This time she... is just a negotiation It’s for business, not personal affair.”

An old man, actually explaining to a child seriously, with a cautious face, for fear of being misunderstood? !
Zhu Hao nodded.

Believe or not believe Su Xigui's words, to Zhu Hao.

Who exactly is Su Xigui's Liannu is? It doesn't affect the business between them. A middle-aged fritter like Su Xigui finds a woman in her twenties as a foreign house... or her daughter's best friend...

You, Su Xigui, have a strong taste!
"Master Zhu, you recently provided King Xing with a batch of binoculars as a tribute to the capital, causing a sensation in the government and the public. I think King Xing should rely heavily on you, right?"

When Su Xigui came up, it was as if he wanted to ask a teacher for a crime.

Don't come to me for good things, but seek cooperation from the palace?

Seeing the emperor and the court ministers attach so much importance to the telescope, you make me very jealous, you know that?

Zhu Hao said: "It seems that it has nothing to do with our business?"

Su Xigui sighed: "Why is it okay? You entrust this business to me... By the way, can you still make binoculars? Make a batch for me, fifteen taels of silver for a pair, and ten pairs for me every month. what do you think?"

Su Xigui didn't bother to say polite words.

In a few sentences, I talked about buying a telescope from Zhu Hao.

"Su Dongzhu heard about the telescope, so he should have inquired about the specific cost, right? Fifteen taels of silver...is it a little less?"

When it comes to business, it is natural to bargain.

Su Xigui smiled and said: "The imperial court allocates [-] taels of silver to purchase a hundred pairs of binoculars. If you are a person, you will know that you have been pocketed by others. It is estimated that you can have one or two thousand taels in your hand. It is not bad. Besides, the palace will not detain you A fortune? Doing business with me is a bit of an advantage, if you say it's innocent... then it's true!"

Zhu Hao nodded.

Su Xigui was right about this point, because Zhu Hao himself was a member of the "Tongsou".

Judging from Su Xigui's integrity in doing business, he is a very principled person. So far, Zhu Hao has never seen Su Xigui use his brother-in-law's power to bully his colleagues.

"Okay, I'll make a few later and sell them to Su Dongzhu."

It's not Zhu Hao's style to make money but not make money, but you have to agree with Su Xigui on the price: "It's okay to sell it to you, but you can't sell it for less than one hundred taels... Is that okay? "

Su Xigui looked ashamed and annoyed, as if being looked down upon by Zhu Hao, he raised his head and said, "Don't worry, I won't sell any of them, even if I keep them as sacrifices, I won't break your rules, Little Master Zhu... I understand this kind of thing."

Think about it too.

There were only a hundred in the imperial court, and Su Xigui bought them back, of course as a good gift to give away.

Civil officials may not like that thing, but who doesn't like military commanders such as noble princes and even local commanders and guard commanders?
Holding it in your hand... the same style as the Queen's, are you not satisfied?Is the wind not beautiful?

Fifteen taels of silver may be able to accomplish a major event of one hundred taels or even one thousand taels of silver...

Su Xigui's shrewdness is not only used in business.

Make a deal.

The two stood at the window.

Zhu Hao asked, "I don't know what happened to Huang Fantai recently?"

Su Xigui seemed a little satisfied: "All the arrangements have been made, and the Ministry of Officials has revealed the wind in advance. After the big plan in the coming year, Mr. Huang will enter the imperial court as the Minister of the Household Department, and all the relations have been taken care of..."

"Nanhu?"

Zhu Hao asked.

Su Xigui was even more proud: "Beihu."

Zhu Hao thought to himself, how can I say that Su Xigui knows how to do business? This kind of court secret has not been announced yet, and all the relationships have been revealed.

Huang Zan has such a brother-in-law to help Zhang Luo, how much trouble has been saved?
"However, there are rumors in the court that the Tatars have been committing crimes more and more frequently in recent years. The new household minister or vice-captain censor will go to Xuanda to manage food and other matters, so I have been busy running around recently. I hope that more money and grain can be mobilized from Jiangnan and Jiangbei as reserves... If Mr. Huang really fills that official vacancy, it will be difficult to make a difference in office without planning in advance."

Zhu Hao originally thought that Su Xigui would be considerate of his brother-in-law, but now it seems that Su Xigui can be called Huang Zan's golden thigh.

By buying the secret recipe of drying salt from Zhu Hao, I helped my brother-in-law find the opportunity to be the servant of the household department. , may be sent to the Xuanfu Datong line to rectify the armaments, so he will make preparations in advance, and the money and food will be supplied immediately after taking office...

This is not reconciled to just letting Huang Zan be the servant of the household department, but to further seek the post of minister.

If Zhu Hao hadn't become an official yet, Zhu Hao would have wanted to ask: Brother, do you still need a brother-in-law?Marry my younger sister to me, and I can be your brother-in-law.

Zhu Hao said: "So Dongzhu Su came to Anlu this time to collect food?"

Su Xigui smiled: "No, no, I just came here to relax, and talk to you by the way, to see if there is anything that can help you... Oh, by the way, the batch of white sand you asked for has been shipped to the nearest Warehouse, you can call it anytime you want."

Considering the difficulties of business partners, knowing that Zhu Hao's mother and son have a bad relationship with the Zhu family, and wanting to conceal the matter of continuing to make glass, Su Xigui quietly provided raw materials and warehouses.

"Thank you, Su Dongzhu."

Zhu Hao said with a smile, "If it wasn't for the fact that I am studying in the palace, I would definitely do my best to be a landlord in the past few days."

Su Xigui laughed loudly: "No need, I'll walk around the city and around Anlu alone, it's more carefree, with you by my side...but my hands are tied!"
