Chang Feng looked at the four women.
He said half-jokingly: "Can I have them all?"
Master Sun quickly said: "Of course."
Chang Feng said: "I'm fighting with you. Look at this bed in the bedroom. Even four women can't sleep on it."
Master Sun answered: "Young one, let me change you to a big bed."
"It's a small oversight. The superiors of the Imperial Guard are all strong men. Naturally, there should be more bed-warming maids. The beds should also be prepared with big ones."
Chang Feng waved his hand: "I said it was a fight. Don't take it seriously. I'll just pick one."
After saying that, Chang Feng pointed his finger at the Yangzhou thin horse.
In fact, Liu Xiaoyan was six months pregnant. Chang Feng stayed honest for six months. I have long been unable to hold it in anymore.
Leaving a Yangzhou thin horse behind not only gave Governor Zhao face, but also made him feel comfortable.
Master Sun said: "Xiao Cui stays. The rest go down."
After the three women left, another maid came in carrying a tray.
On the tray is a bowl of soup.
Master Sun smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the superior officer didn't eat well. I specially offer a bowl of Wuyang soup for the superior officer as a midnight snack."
Chang Feng asked: "Wu Yang Tang? What's the name of this soup?"
Master Sun explained: "It is a tonic soup stewed with sea dog whip, deer whip, horse whip, donkey whip, cattle whip, and more than a dozen precious medicinal materials such as silver and goat weed."
They were really considerate in serving the imperial envoy. Not only did he give it to women, but he also gave him tonic soup.
After Master Sun finished explaining, he held up his hands and said, "Please enjoy it slowly. Please excuse me."
Master Sun gave Chang Feng money to give away the woman, but Chang Feng only kept the woman but not the money.
Of course the other five imperial envoys also enjoyed the same treatment.
Yang Tinghe didn't want women or gold.
The two young uncles wanted gold and women. However, they are young and not familiar with human affairs. Two women were left behind, and they had fun painting bastards on their faces.
It's a bit of a waste.
Fatty Xu wanted women but not gold. And he left all four women behind! It is euphemistically called "Learn from Shen Nong and taste hundreds of herbs, and try out the efficacy of Wuyang Decoction."
Li Guang is a eunuch. Not only did he ask for the gold, but he also left behind a charming and enchanting woman.
Even though I can't do human things, it's still great to be addicted to hands and mouth. Otherwise, why would so many eunuchs be looking for the right food?
Chang Feng held it in for six months. With the thin horse at his side, the ground was naturally shaken.
But the skinny horse didn't lose its luster.
Chang Feng didn't take it seriously. I was worried about something: "Your name is Xiaocui, right?"
The thin horse answered: "Yes."
Chang Feng said: "Xiao Cui, what would you do if you were pregnant with my child?"
Xiaocui said softly: "Don't worry, sir. We have a way to prevent you from getting pregnant."
At noon the next day, Chang Feng and others boarded the official ship. Continue south.
More than ten days later, the official ship arrived at Hangzhou, the end point of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.
Just like in Shandong, when he arrived in Hangzhou, he was personally greeted by Governor Huang of Zhejiang.
In addition to officials from Zhejiang, there were also many gentry from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who accompanied Governor Huang. Many of these gentry had held official positions.
Chang Feng and others entered the Hangzhou Post House.
Chang Feng told Qian Ning, the accompanying Xiaoqi: "Keep a close eye on the Poseidon Pearl. It is the temple-protecting treasure given to Mazu Temple by the Emperor. There is no chance of anything going wrong."
Qian Ning said: "Master Chang, don't worry. I'll bring someone to watch over you day and night."
Hangzhou is a land of wealth and gentleness. Governor Huang's reception was ten times more extravagant than that in Shandong.
Everyone was tired from the boat and planned to rest in Hangzhou for five days before heading east to Ningbo and change official ships from Dinghai County to Oyster Mirror. .q.
During the period when Chang Feng and others were living idle. Not only officials came to visit, but also gentry and merchants.
On this day, Chang Feng was tasting Suzhou and Hangzhou pastries in the side hall. A powerful man sent a message: "Reporting to Qianhu, Ma Baolu, the head of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, is asking for an audience."
Chang Feng frowned: "A businessman also wants to see the deputy imperial envoy? No.
! "
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, businessmen are the last. No matter how rich the merchants of the Ming Dynasty were, their status was still humble. Not even silk can be worn, only cloth.
Lishi said: "Qianhu, the Jockey Club first handed over the teacher-student post from Chief Assistant Liu Ji."
Chang Feng was a little surprised: "He is actually Mr. Liu Ge's student? Let's meet him."
Liu Ji is always the official, and Chang Feng still has to give him face.
The fat-headed and big-eared Ma Hui entered the small hall first. Behind him were four men carrying a large wooden box.
The head of the Jockey Club saluted Chang Feng.
Chang Feng said: "Sit down."
Mr. Ma Huishou said with a flattering smile: "How can a student sit down in front of the superior?"
Chang Feng asked: "You call yourself a student. Do you have a good reputation? Are you a scholar? A scholar?"
The Jockey Club leader said: "The student is a supervisor. The teacher is Mr. Liu Ge."
Chang Feng was relieved. The exams for candidates and talents must be based on true talent and learning. As a student supervisor, you can donate money.
Empress Zhang's father, Zhang Luan, failed repeatedly in the provincial examination, so he lost all his money and donated his life as a supervisor.
As for worshiping Liu Ji as his teacher. It's just a matter of giving more money.
Chang Feng said: "Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't expect Ma Huishou to be a very talented supervisor."
"What kind of business do you do in Hangzhou?"
The Jockey Club answered first: "Salt, tea and silk business."
Chang Feng secretly said: Good guy. These three types of businesses are the most profitable in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
And you must have a close relationship with local officials before you can do it. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get the salt and tea coins issued by the government, and the silk tickets issued by the Weaving Bureau.
Chang Feng asked: "Why do you come here to see me today?"
The Jockey Club handed over his head: "The tutor's letter to the student said that Chang Qianhu is a hot young talent in the court. Let the student take good care of him."
"Students don't dare to neglect, I'm here to give you a gift of Cheng Yi."
After saying that, Jockey Club opened the wooden box.
Chang Feng glanced at the wooden box and marveled in his heart: This person is so generous!
The wooden box was filled with silver ingots. At a rough glance, it's about two thousand taels.
Chang Feng said: "Even if the feudal officials send the imperial envoys a journey instrument, it only amounts to a few dozen taels."
"The Jockey Club's first move was two thousand taels, so proud. I dare not accept it."
It was Ma Hui's turn to be surprised: "Chang Qianhu can estimate the total number of Chengyi just by looking at it?"
Chang Feng took a sip of tea: "Do you think that I am so sensitive to the amount of money because I am used to collecting money on weekdays?"
"You may have misunderstood me. What I was in charge of in Jinyiwei was confiscating the houses. My ability to know how to count the silver was gained through confiscating the houses."
Ma Huishou said quickly: "The student didn't mean that."
Chang Feng said: "You gave me two thousand taels of silver at once. You must be asking for something from me, right?"
The head of the Jockey Club swore: "Absolutely not! The students just admire Chang Qianhu's style and respect him sincerely."
Chang Feng said: "Take the silver back. I guess you are afraid that I will cause you trouble, so you gave me so much silver."
"As long as you abide by the law and do business, no one can cause trouble for you."
The Jockey Club was disappointed.
Chang Feng suddenly remembered that Wynn had warned him not to offend the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
So Chang Feng's tone softened a little: "Although I won't accept the money, it's fate to see Ma Hui's head today."
"Governor Huang gave me three taels of West Lake Shifeng Longjing tribute tea. Someone, please brew it. The Jockey Club and I will taste it first."
West Lake Shifeng Longjing is the best tea. It specifically refers to the tea produced by the eighteen imperial tea trees on Shifeng Mountain. It only weighs one hundred and twenty pounds a year.
Ma Huishou drank the tribute tea given by Chang Feng, looking flattered.
