The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 23 Houmen is as deep as the sea

"Madam Zhu, please don't get me wrong, Mr. Zhu invited you on his own initiative, and I don't want to have anything to do with the Duke's mansion in the future. Thinking of me as a cold scholar, how can I have the right to associate with people from the mansion?"

With that said, Zhang Zhou got up and was about to leave.

Ning Tong said: "Are you also considered a cold scholar?"

Oh, Zhang Zhouxin said, from this tone, you seem to know me very well.

"Mrs. Zhu, I don't know how to get in touch with you if there is a business matter, such as Mr. Zhu said, to deliver food from your house?"

Zhang Zhou is finally a responsible person, and he still has to do what he promised Zhu Feng, but how to get in touch with a woman in a deep boudoir and how to do business is still quite tricky for Zhang Zhou.

Although the Zhu Feng couple's way of getting along is a bit different, but Cheng Guogong's mansion is such a big place, no one invites him, so can he come in?
Ning Tong said coldly, "I will see you when you write a letter to the cabinet."

"Oh."

Zhang Zhouxin said, it turns out that you are not a woman in a deep boudoir, let alone a family where you can get out of the house of love as soon as you enter the house.

Zhang Zhou couldn't help but lowered his head to look at Ning Tong's feet. They were still natural feet. Presumably, the second son of the Duke's family was also from the Wu Xun family. Very reasonable.

"Where should I look?"

Ning Tong was very dissatisfied with the direction of Zhang Zhou's gaze.

Zhang Zhou sighed: "Mrs. Zhu, you are a bit difficult for others. I bowed my head to avoid suspicion. Besides, you are so tightly wrapped, what can I see?"

Ning Tong was very angry: "Scholar, why do you speak in such a market manner? Like a disciple!"

Zhang Zhoudao: "Scholars are human beings, and I'm still a big layman. To tell you the truth, I have a wife and a concubine, a son and a daughter. How happy my life is. If it weren't for Mr. Zhu, he would have asked me to see his business. I'm too lazy to care about such crap. Madam Zhu, please respect yourself."

These words are to remind Ning Tong that you are the ones who invited me to be the "treasurer", so it's fine if you don't pay me, and you still want to neglect me?
Believe it or not, I just let the picker go?

Zhang Zhou originally thought that after saying this, Ning Tong must hate him deeply, and the two of them would have nothing to say outside of official business, but unexpectedly, Ning Tong's eyes suddenly had some strange brilliance .

Zhang Zhou was also puzzled.

Ladies, what do you mean by looking at me?
Could it be that people used to talk to you politely, never seen someone like me picking on people and being unkind to people, and they are still interested in me?
"Mr. Zhang, you claim to read the books of sages, but why do you carry an unsightly reader of market slang?" Ning Tong seemed to be very strong, and was taught a lesson by Zhang Zhou, wanting to get back in the game.

When Zhang Zhou heard it, he knew that he lost the booklet and was picked up by this woman.

A woman who is unhappy in marriage, in a life of bitterness and hatred, sees such a booklet, and the content of the story in it may resonate a lot, right?

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "The reader, I was just about to discuss with Mr. Zhu about publishing some together and earning a little money!"

"you!"

Ning Tong frowned, and glared at Zhang Zhou angrily.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "Ma'am, would you like to read the rest of the book? I only read half of the book, and I can't read the rest of it. Do you feel...haha."

"Dengtuzi!" Ning Tong scolded, but there was no anger on his face.

It was probably also given by Zhang Zhou.

After reading the beginning of the book, I was about to reach a wonderful place, but it was cut off. Can I feel better in my heart?

But she is a girl, she is still very strong, and she likes to pretend to be noble in front of others.

If she said a few soft words and begged, maybe Zhang Zhou would give it to her, but with her personality, might she beg someone else?Can Zhang Zhou still get his wish?
"How about this ma'am, when we meet next time, I'll bring the text of that reader, just to study whether this reader has the potential to be published, what do you think?" Zhang Zhou said with a smile.

Ning Tong looked angry.

Wanting to accept it, but unable to save face, he could only return Zhang Zhou's provocation with vicious eyes.

"Let's go, see you next time!"

Zhang Zhou suddenly found out that after regaining his place in front of Mrs. Zhu, the wife of a prince of a state, even Mrs. Cheng Guogong after decades, was actually overwhelmed by him?It's still fun to think about.

However, Zhang Zhou didn't intend to have anything to do with Ning Tong. After all, this is someone else's wife, and she is the kind of woman who can't afford to mess with her, so it's better to keep her at a respectful distance.

……

……

After Zhang Zhou left, Ning Tong stood in the hall, unable to calm down the bad breath in his heart for a long time.

But at this moment, her maid came in.

"Miss, is Mr. Zhang gone? Did you mention the book to him?" The little maid looked expectant.

Although the little maid is one or two years younger than Ning Tong, as a dowry maid, she is now in her twenties.

The dowry maid of someone else's family, that is definitely...

Her maid...

No comparison, no harm.

So she also needs this kind of social reading to pass the boring life, especially the description of men and women. Through obscenity, she can satisfy the unrealized things in her heart. That kind of desire... is not comparable to ordinary women in the market. of.

The women in the market at least have a married life, or have the hope of this, and she is a little maid, marrying into the Duke's mansion is no different from being a widow for a lifetime.

Ning Tong seemed to have found a way to vent her anger, and vented her anger at the little girl: "It's all your fault, for making me unable to hold my head up in front of someone surnamed Zhang! That apprentice, the more you look at him, the more embarrassing he is!"

The little servant girl said: "Miss, weren't you afraid of him and the young master...why do you call him a disciple now? Then is he... a vixen, or a disciple?"

"Ok?"

"Also, it's obviously what you want to see, so how can you blame the servant girl?"

"you!"

Ning Tong was out of breath.

The little servant girl stuck out her tongue: "Miss, you used to say that you let your slaves serve as concubines for the young man. I don't think the young man is interested in me either. Why don't you do me a favor and just marry me off!"

Ning Tong was quite angry at first, but when she saw the little maid like this, her heart softened. She was obviously the kind of woman with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart: "No! You can't go anywhere, you have to stay with me! Otherwise, I won't even have a confidant." It’s gone! When you’re 25, I’ll give you some help!”

"Oh." The little maid pursed her lips, and her fingers were already raised.

Probably to figure out how many years I have to stay in the Duke's mansion.

……

……

Zhang Zhou didn't feel relieved when he came out of Duke Cheng's mansion. On the contrary, he felt the pressure on his shoulders increased.

"Perhaps I shouldn't care about things beyond my ability, but as a time traveler, if I don't participate in something, I am worthy of the knowledge I have in my chest? But if things don't go well, or even mess up, I will make myself a mess!"

thought here.

Zhang Zhou looked back at the lintel of the Duke's Mansion again.

"This house looks good, and it seems that we should work hard to get a set back! A mansion of a wealthy family, beautiful wives and beautiful concubines, and some singers and dancers... What more can you ask for than a husband!"

Suddenly thinking that Jiang Pingyu and Han Qing were still waiting for him as a great hero, Zhang Zhou was suddenly full of energy, hurriedly called Liu Gui over, and drove to the house.
