Back to Datang with weapons

Chapter 311 But—too greedy for money

After dealing with this matter, Zhang Twelve went up to the third floor and waited for the two women to return from their work.

Seeing that it was noon and the two women hadn't come back yet, Zhang Twelve felt hungry and was a little impatient. At this time, there was a knock on the door outside. Zhang Twelve was overjoyed, thinking that he had finally returned, so he opened the door and took a look. It was found that Lu San was the only one outside the door.

"What about them?"

Zhang Twelve looked back a few times, but he didn't find anyone else, so he was a little puzzled.

"Back to the young master, Miss and Miss Qin have already bought the restaurant, and they are busy looking at the decoration and layout of the restaurant now! I specially asked me to come back and tell you that I won't be back at noon, so that the young master can eat some by himself Just fine."

After hearing Lu San's words, Zhang Twelve was a little depressed. These two women are really typical strong women. They forget to sleep and eat when they are busy. This is not good. I will definitely criticize them when I come back!
Especially Lu Fujing, it seems that she has returned to her original work status in Liangzhou, I don't know if it is good or bad...

"By the way, what do they have for lunch?"

As soon as he asked this question, Zhang Twelve couldn't help but laugh. There is also a restaurant there, so can there be less food?
Hey, I can only eat by myself. Fortunately, Lu San is with me, so I am not particularly lonely.

"Come on, let's eat together!"

After saying this, Zhang Twelve found that Lu San was standing at the door without moving. He looked at him faltering and hesitating, and asked curiously, "What's the matter? Say something quickly!"

"Young master, it's like this... After the lady told me to tell you, I will go back immediately, and said that I need a little help..."

This Nima...

Can't you even leave someone for yourself to eat?

Zhang Twelve got angry for a while, but it was Lu Fujing's words, he couldn't say anything, and said impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't let me see you!"

Lu San smiled embarrassingly, and ran away.

Seeing him running so fast, Zhang Twelve felt contemptuous: This kid must be thinking about Xiaohuan!Hmph, let's see how I arrange you after meeting Qiuping!
…………

He ordered the back kitchen to prepare a few meals for him. Today, the crown prince and the shopkeeper Zhu were all cleaned up. He wanted to drink some wine to celebrate, but he was alone. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. Mood, wouldn't that be boring drinking?
While Zhang Twelve was depressed, there was another knock on the door outside, Zhang Twelve was overjoyed, thinking that Lu Sanconscience found out that he had come back to have a drink with him, so he hurried over to open the door.

As I was walking, I was still thinking, for the sake of you going and coming back, I will not sue Qiuping for now...

After he opened the door, he realized that it was not Lu San standing outside the door, but Zhou Quan, the new shopkeeper of "Wen Xianglai".

"what happened?"

Zhang Twelve asked a question.

"Master Zhang, King Xiang is looking for you! He's already upstairs!"

Zhou Quan has fully learned the lesson of Master Zhu's demise. Seeing King Xiang enter the restaurant, he immediately reported it, which is very commendable!
"King Xiang? Why is he here?"

Zhang Twelve knows who King Xiang is.

Emperor Tang only had one girl, but he had a lot of sons, but there were only two adults. The first prince was naturally the current crown prince Tang Yizhi, and the second prince was Xiang Wang Tang Yixiang.

After arriving in Jingzhou, he and King Xiang had never met, and they had never interacted with each other. Why did he come to him, and it was at this point in time—after the crown prince was blackmailed by him?

Could it be that he came to seek justice for his imperial brother?
Zhang Twelve shook his head and overthrew his own idea, because as far as he knew, there were not many princes who were in harmony with each other, not to mention that there were quite a few people who made trouble for each other...

No matter what, let's see what this King Xiang has to do!
…………

While Zhang Twelve was thinking, King Xiang and his entourage had already come up from downstairs and came to his side.

Zhang Twelve took a look and saw that King Xiang was about the same age as him. He was wearing a black satin robe with a silver hollow hibiscus flower trim, a jade belt around his waist, and an ivory folding fan in his hand. It looked like he belonged to the royal family.

And this King Xiang looks similar to the prince, but his temperament is much more gentle than that disgusting prince. At least when he saw him, Zhang Twelve didn't have the urge to go up and beat him to death...

"This young man is imposing and has an extraordinary appearance. He must be General Zhang Yizhang?"

"........."

Unexpectedly, this King Xiang is very skilled in flattering, but it's a little strange, why does he want to flatter himself?

"His Royal Highness King Xiang must be the only one who can have such a phoenix-like dragon and a jade tree facing the wind. Please refer to your highness!"

Zhang Twelve has this character. If you respect me a foot, I will pay you back. King Xiang has praised himself so much, so I should flatter him...

The two looked at each other and laughed loudly. They had a good impression of each other when they met for the first time!
"General Zhang, you don't need to be too polite. There are many people outside. Let's go inside and talk?"

When King Xiang reminded him, Zhang Twelve directly patted his forehead and said, "Look at my brain, King Xiang is quick to invite you!"

As he said that, he moved away and let King Xiang in...

…………

King Xiang came into the room, saw several delicious delicacies on the table, and laughed loudly: "It's a coincidence that I came today, just in time for General Zhang to have a meal - I saw that General Zhang's food is so rich. , this king is actually hungry..."

"........."

Damn, is this for dinner?
This was Zhang Twelve's first reaction, but he still said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Xiang is trying to frustrate this official! If His Highness doesn't dislike it, this official will order someone to lick another pair of bowls and chopsticks!"

"It's work!"

have to!Seeing King Xiang's happy face, it seems that today's meal was decided by him!But it doesn't matter to Zhang Twelve. He is worried about eating alone, and someone will come to accompany him... It's just that the prince's company is really uncomfortable...

While Zhou Quan went to get the bowls and chopsticks, King Xiang smiled and said to Zhang Twelve: "General Zhang, it is really presumptuous of me to come here without invitation, I hope you don't mind!"

"Your Highness, don't say that. Your Highness is able to come, and this official is very flattered. At the same time, smelling the fragrance is also radiant. It's too late for your highness to be happy. How can you mind, how dare you mind?"

But I was complaining in my heart: In fact, I still have some minds...

Hearing this, King Xiang laughed "haha", and then said: "With General Zhang's words, I am relieved! I have heard that General Zhang is a wonderful person, but I have no chance to meet you. Today I will see you again." , as expected!"

Zhang Twelve nodded and laughed, but he was puzzled in his heart: For those Jingzhou sons who have dealt with him before, he is not a wonderful person!As a bad guy, I can count on myself...

So he was curious, who did King Xiang hear that he was a wonderful person?

…………

Zhou Quan brought in the bowls and chopsticks, but King Xiang didn't have any airs. He sat at the table with Zhang Twelve and started eating. Gentle...

King Xiang's entourage standing aside saw his master suddenly showing a posture that was very different from usual, and was shocked. It seems that King Xiang is really optimistic about General Zhang, otherwise he would not hesitate to put down his identity to do it. This kind of thing?

Although he is imposing and majestic, King Xiang was born in the royal family after all, and he also followed the admonition of "speaking not talking when sleeping, not talking when eating". He was very quiet when eating, and Zhang Twelve would not take the initiative to speak when he didn't speak, so this meal was in a quiet place. Eating was unusually fast in the atmosphere, and the two of them finished eating in a short while.

The servants cleared away the dishes and brought a pot of hot tea.

Holding a teacup, King Xiang said to Zhang Twelve with a smile, "I am here today, besides meeting General Zhang, the most important thing is to thank you!"

"grateful?"

Hearing this, Zhang Twelve was a little puzzled, it was the first time he and King Xiang met, so what can we thank you for?

"A few days ago, the third prince of the Wu Kingdom came to Jingzhou. He was determined to win the imperial sister. Fortunately, General Zhang took action to save the imperial sister! So, I am here to thank you for the imperial sister!"

King Xiang said sincerely.

"Your Majesty is being polite. Serving the Holy One is what a subordinate official should do. Besides, His Majesty has already rewarded a subordinate official..."

Look, that's the gap!

I have done something for their royal family, so the prince just doesn't want to thank himself, and he still fights against himself everywhere, how shameless?On the other hand, King Xiang was also born by the same father, so why is the gap so obvious?

When Zhang Twelve was thinking this way, his eyes kept looking at the entourage behind King Xiang, and he looked up and down—there was nothing, and he looked again carefully, but there was still nothing, so he seemed very disappointed...

Didn't you say to thank him?In order to thank himself, Emperor Tang was granted a title and land. As a prince, he thanked him. If he can’t give him the title and house, there must be some money, right?

Nima, empty-handed, thank you on the mouth, what's the use?
King Xiang also followed Zhang Twelve's eyes and looked behind him, then turned around and asked suspiciously, "General Zhang, what are you looking at?"

Why don't you count the score in your heart?

Zhang Twelve thought about it, but said: "I'm afraid that if King Xiang brings some valuable gifts, wouldn't it be too embarrassing? That's why I just took a look..."

Young man, we have already talked about this, you should know what to do...

But King Xiang obviously didn't understand, and he said with a relieved face: "General Zhang is too worried, this king never brought anything here!"

This shit... can't bear it...

Thank you for nothing?
Seeing Zhang Twelve's face turn down sharply, King Xiang laughed "haha", then took out an oval jade tablet engraved with the word "Xiang" from his sleeve, and put it on the table.

"Just kidding with General Zhang, since you are here to thank General Zhang, if you don't bring some gifts, how can you come to see General Zhang?"

The moment he saw the jade tablet, Zhang Twelve, who was holding his face just now, his eyes lit up again, staring at the jade tablet on the table, and said with a smile: "What did King Xiang say? King Xiang came here in person It's just a great comfort to the subordinates, what does it matter if the gift is not a gift?"

"Oh? If that's the case, then I will take this jade card back..."

After speaking, he made a gesture to take it back. Zhang Twelve's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the jade plaque in his hand, and said with a smile: "Your Highness has brought it all. How dare I not accept it? Thank you." His Royal Highness King Xiang!"

Holding the jade card in his hand, Zhang Twelve is so sweet in his heart, this King Xiang is very reliable!
Seeing that Zhang Twelve's poor reaction was too obvious, King Xiang finally couldn't help it, and laughed again, the tears in his eyes were about to burst out of laughter, pointing at Zhang Twelve and saying: "Interesting, it's really interesting! Sister Huang said the same thing, General Zhang is indeed an interesting person!"

"Oh? Princess Yilan has also commented on the lower officials?"

"That's natural!"

"I don't know what evaluation Princess Yilan has made about the next official?"

He didn't know what impression that extraordinary princess had of him, so Zhang Twelve asked curiously.

"Hehe, Miss Huang has a very high opinion of General Zhang. At least in these years, she has never made such a comment on anyone else!"

Hearing this, Zhang Twelve became even more curious, and he didn't dare to interrupt him. There was only one voice in his heart: "Say it, say it!"

"Sister Huang's original words are - Zhang Twelve is very interesting, much more real than those benevolent and moral people who talk all day long, but -"

When he heard the first half of this sentence, Zhang Twelve was emotional and passionate, but after hearing the "but", his mood was like a roller coaster, and he rushed down to the bottom of the valley with a "swish" ...

According to Zhang Twelve's many years of experience, the most important thing in a sentence is not the first part, but the last "but"...

"But too greedy for money!"

Hearing these words, Zhang Twelve's face turned from yellow to white, from white to red, and then from red to blue, which was very exciting——Is labor and capital greedy for money?Is that normal labor income?
Also, why did Princess Yilan know that she was greedy for money?Emperor Tang must have told her!

This Emperor Tang... Don't say that I am greedy for money, we can still be friends, say that I am greedy for money... I must blackmail you more in the future, otherwise how can I be called greedy for money?
…………

Seeing Zhang Twelve's depressed face, King Xiang smiled again. He found that Zhang Twelve was indeed very different from the people he knew. Although the two had different identities, he was not restrained in front of him. Very chic, very true—yes, it was the truth that Princess Yilan told him!
Chatting with him is indeed much easier. King Xiang even enjoyed this feeling very much, and secretly made up his mind that there is something extraordinary about this person, and he must fight for it!

"General Zhang doesn't need to care! Sister Huang's words are mostly jokes, and she can't do it for real! Besides, what's the problem even if she is greedy for money? A gentleman loves money, just get it in a proper way! I think General Zhang's way of getting money is very Okay!"

King Xiang thought that after Zhang Twelve entered Jingzhou, he took "Wen Xianglai" from Yang Zexin, beat Luo Xingjian violently, and even extorted 5000 taels of silver from Luo Zhiyuan...

Not to mention whether there is a way to get it, anyway, it sounds very relieved...

Hearing King Xiang comfort him so much, Zhang Twelve's mood improved a lot. This King Xiang is not bad...

Then King Xiang brought up the topic of poetry again, only then did Zhang Twelve know that this King Xiang was also a master of poetry, and when it came to Zhang Twelve's poems written in Jingzhou, he was sympathetic and appreciative...

After chatting for a long time, and making an appointment with Zhang Twelve to discuss together when they have time, King Xiang left from "Wen Xiang Lai"...
