Borrow the day to change the day

() Zhong Jinwei was escorted by Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng with five guards, and returned to Zhongxingbo Mansion.

The concierge has been replaced by Mr. Peng who later entered the mansion. He is the father of Peng Wang, who is training in the East Factory.

Mr. Peng is about fifty years old. He is better at reading people and has a loud voice.As a housekeeper, Yu Haining had a lot of work to do, so he was arranged to take over the work of his concierge.

Seeing that his master had returned at the door, Mr. Peng greeted him happily.

Zhong Jinwei got off his horse and said to the porter, "Mr. Peng, what are the people in the house doing?"

On New Year's Eve, he remembered Mr. Peng's name when chatting with the old man in the mansion. The reason was that his voice was relatively loud, which reminded Zhong Jinwei of Sun Chengzong.

"My lord, Steward Yu is studying and writing for the people in the school, and it's almost over now." Mr. Peng saw that it was late and it was already lunch time, so he answered Zhong Jinwei.

"Oh, I'll go and have a look." Zhong Jinwei was very interested.

Following Elder Peng's instructions, Zhong Jinwei led Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng to the left-hand wing of the compound.

Before Zhong Jinwei reached the door of the wing room, Yu Haining opened the door and found Zhong Jinwei.He said joyfully, "Young master is back?"

Zhong Jinwei noticed that there was still chalk foam on his hands, so he asked him with a smile, "Just finished teaching?"

At this time, a group of people came out from the door behind Yu Haining, each holding a small blackboard.

They all found Zhong Jinwei and surrounded him one after another.Although there are men, women, young and old of all ages, they all have one thing in common. They all have heartfelt smiles on their faces and greet Zhong Jinwei sincerely.

Yu Haining looked at the people around him, it was obvious that he had just finished teaching, but he still replied to Zhong Jinwei: "Young Master, I just finished teaching, and today I have taught a total of 63 characters."

"Okay, you have to learn after teaching. Go and do your work first." Zhong Jinwei saw that there were too many people around, and drove them away.

After all the onlookers left, Yu Haining moved his hands back a little and patted each other, but some powder still stuck to his hands.So, he said to Zhong Jinwei: "Young master, go to the hall to rest for a while. My brother-in-law came here yesterday and left a letter. The old man goes to wash his hands and bring it to you."

The Earl's Mansion already knew about Zhong Jinwei's marriage, so Yu Haining also knew Yan Yingyuan's identity.

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he was overjoyed that Yan Yingyuan had already come, so he quickly asked, "Where is the other person, is his injury healed?"

"It doesn't look like a problem, it is said that he has gone back to the camp outside the city." Yu Haining told Zhong Jinwei what he knew.

"Okay, okay, then I'll wait for you in the hall, hurry up and take a look at the letter." Zhong Jinwei ordered.

"Yes, son." Yu Haining agreed, and hurried to wash his hands.

As soon as Zhong Jinwei arrived at the hall, Li Simin came over with a pot of hot water and poured tea for the young master and the servants.Her own hands still looked a little wet, and she should have come over as soon as she finished washing her hands.

Zhong Jinwei discovered this, and asked, "It's freezing cold, why don't you dry your hands first?"

When Li Simin heard this, he was blessed, and then said as a matter of course: "Young master saved us, gave us a place to live, and let us learn to read. If we don't work harder, the servants will lose their conscience."

Speaking of this, she felt a little awkward, so she quickly added: "Young master, don't believe me, everyone in the mansion says so, you can ask anyone at random, they all have the same thoughts as the slave family."

Zhong Jinwei smiled and said nothing more.Seeing that the young master had nothing to say, Li Simin went down to change the pot again.With so many people pouring a round, the water will almost disappear.

Gu Baichuan smiled and said to Zhong Jinwei: "Your subordinate, Mr. Guan, is full of vigor!"

Zhong Jinwei felt very beautiful when he heard it, and was about to say a few words of modesty when the butler Yu Haining came over, holding a letter to Zhong Jinwei with both hands.

Zhong Jinwei took it over and saw that the envelope simply said "Passed by the Young Master".Archie copied many memorials for Zhong Jinwei, so Zhong Jinwei recognized the handwriting on the envelope at once.

I was embarrassed to open Archie's letter in front of everyone, so I asked Yu Haining another matter: "Uncle Yu, how about the shop that the emperor rewarded?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Haining replied with a smile: "My lord, that shop is a gold shop in the busiest street in the capital. This shop is hard to buy even if you have money."

Zhong Jinwei heard that such a good shop, it seems that the emperor gave him a chicken that lays golden eggs, not bad.

"Uncle Yu, what kind of business is this shop suitable for?" Zhong Jinwei asked Yu Haining for advice. After all, Yu Haining had traveled all over the world before, and was also the shopkeeper of a north-south store.

"The most profitable ones should be high-end jewellery, Western rare treasures, but people in the capital are panicking now, and I'm afraid that business will not be easy." Yu Haining expressed his opinion.

"Oh, people are panicking, is it because of the Jianlu?" Zhong Jinwei thought that if the Jianlu in the capital city did not leave, the impact on business would definitely be serious.

Yu Haining looked at the Dongchang fan servants who were sitting and drinking tea on both sides, and was a little hesitant to say it.

Zhong Jinwei saw Yu Haining's posture, and said: "Uncle Yu, don't have any worries, here are all brothers who have lived and died with me, so we can talk about anything."

Gu Baichuan has long seen that Yu Haining is worried about their presence, so it's hard to say.Just as he was trying to find an excuse to avoid going out, when he heard what Zhong Jinwei said, he was embarrassed to avoid it, so he just sat and drank tea, but secretly thanked Zhong Jinwei in his heart.

When Yu Haining saw Zhong Jinwei say this in front of these East Factory servants, he had no choice but to speak up, or else he would lose face: "My lord, recently the emperor ransacked the houses of those censors who took bribes, and didn't give them to the former Ministry of Industry. Shangshu's face, directly approved his resignation. The officials in the capital all speculated whether the emperor was going to investigate corruption. After all, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was involved in the last city wall rape case. So during this period, the jewelry industry Luxury goods like these cannot be sold, and no one dares to buy them.”

"Oh, that's it. Uncle Yu will take care of this shop first." Zhong Jinwei didn't know what to sell for a while, so he directly left the decision to the housekeeper.

In fact, Zhong Jinwei didn't want to earn gray income, and his energy was concentrated on reviving Daming and changing the fate of Daming.Money, enough is enough.Otherwise, just because of his status of participating in policy making, he can make a fortune. For example, now send people to buy a batch of unexchanged Yanyin warehouse notes at a low price. Just make a big profit.

"Has the young master not eaten yet?" Yu Haining looked at the time, estimated it, and asked Zhong Jinwei.

"Yes, I didn't eat. Prepare meals for us." Zhong Jinwei remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch, so he ordered the housekeeper to ask the servants to sit down first, so that he could read the love letter.

Gu Baichuan, the guards who protect the dignitaries, are all discerning. Seeing Zhong Jinwei holding the letter in his hand, his face flushed slightly, he knew it.Without hesitation, I went to sit next door and wait for the meal.

Zhong Jinwei waited for them to leave before opening the letter and reading it.In fact, there was nothing in the letter, the main reason was that Archie was very worried when he knew that Zhong Jinwei was assassinated, and told Zhong Jinwei to be careful when going out.Then he talked about the recent situation of the Yan family, vaguely revealing that Tongzhou is preparing a dowry.

Zhong Jinwei was a little moved after reading it, not the content of the letter, but the words in the letter.Archie knew that Zhong Jinwei didn't know more complicated characters, but based on her contact with Zhong Jinwei in those days, she memorized some simplified characters instead.Some words in the letter are written in simplified characters, of course, there must be punctuation marks.

Zhong Jinwei blamed himself a little. It is not uncommon for people in later generations to chase their girlfriends and write a hundred or eighty love letters.But after I came back from Tongzhou, I didn't even write a single letter, and I didn't think that Archie would be worried.

Therefore, Zhong Jinwei went to the study first and wrote a reply letter, mainly to report the recent situation, especially explaining that the emperor sent eight guards to protect him, plus six entourages with swords in his house, there should be enough people Protect yourself now.

After Zhong Jinwei finished writing, he remembered how to send it to Tongzhou.I don't know if my brother-in-law will return to Tongzhou.After dinner, why not go to the camp outside the city, one is to visit my brother-in-law, and two, if my brother-in-law wants to go back to Tongzhou, let him take the letter back.

During the meal, Zhong Jinwei mentioned to Gu Baichuan that he wanted to go to the camp outside the city, but he didn't know if it was suitable or not.

Gu Baichuan smiled and said: "What's inappropriate, Uncle Zhongxing, don't forget, you are still the supervising army of the king's army outside the city, you should go."

"Okay, then go out after dinner." Zhong Jinwei decided.
