Because Mu Chun and Mu Sheng lived in the other courtyard of Mu Mansion, Mu Ying logically arranged for Wu Rong and others to be carers in the other courtyard.
Gu Zhengchen belatedly realized that when he saw guards patrolling at night, he realized that Mu Ying's sending his son to study was just a cover, and his real intention was to send the guards in a way that he would not resent.
I have to say that Muying is a very considerate person.
As expected, Zhu Yuanzhang did not take action against Fei Ju. In fact, the turmoil caused by Fei Qiang this time had little to do with Fei Ju. It was impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to take off Fei Ju's Pinglianghou just because of Fei Qiang's small mistakes. The real solution was to Pingliang Hou at least needs a more upright and defensible reason.
The next morning.
Gu Zhengchen practiced his sword as usual. Wu Rong leaned on the railing with his sword in his arms and watched Gu Zhengchen's decent moves. He looked at Zhang Pei who was walking by and asked, "It's been almost four months. He finally..." It’s starting to show some signs of practice.”
Zhang Pei almost choked on his saliva, glanced at Gu Zhengchen, and whispered to Wu Rong: "Didn't you realize that he only knows this one, a dozen moves..."
Wu Rong looked at it, and sure enough, this guy put away his sword again and started again.
I'm really not a martial artist. If I have to dance with a sword, why do you want to do that?
Gu Zhengchen was very devoted and worked every move with great care. He did not stop until he was sweating profusely. After taking a bath, he walked out refreshed and said to Wu Rong who was muttering: "Mu Chun and Mu Sheng haven't gotten up yet. ?"
Wu Rong looked towards the east and saw that the sun had just risen, so he said, "It's almost time to get up."
Gu Zhengchen was a little unhappy: "Let them get up half an hour early tomorrow. This morning, you will be responsible for teaching them martial arts."
"And you?"
Wu Rong was a little depressed.
The prince invited you to a dinner. It's not during the day. You have nothing to do but teach the two young masters well. Let me teach you. Why did you send them here?
Gu Zhengchen glared at Wu Rong: "The sugar shop was smashed, I can't go and take a look. Also, Pingliang Marquis Mansion owes us twenty guan of money. Yingtian Mansion hasn't sent the money yet. You go to Yingtian Mansion to ask for it." Go, if Zhang Fuyin never sends us money, I will write another petition and tell Yingtian Yamen this time..."
Wu Rong opened his mouth wide, you really don't think this is a small matter. Fei Qiang's legs were broken. Are you still worried about this little money?
Of course Gu Zhengchen was worried about it. Twenty guan was a lot of money. If it were left in Jurong, it would be enough to support five subordinates for a month. Why should he not give it to himself?
Besides, Fei Qiang's leg was broken, and he didn't get the discount himself. What's more, the Pingliang Marquis Mansion went bankrupt and Fei Ju changed his profession and became a beggar. Why should he rely on it without giving him any money?
It's just that Gu Zhengchen couldn't go directly to Fei Ju. At this time, Fei Ju was probably very angry. Looking for him might really make the situation get out of control. Whoever decides to go to him, it's reasonable and legal...
The white sugar shop opened again. Different from before, the white sugar shop was much deserted, because there was a group of big and thick men standing outside the shop door, staring fiercely at the passers-by. Anyone who entered the white sugar shop would be arrested. Keep an eye on.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qingqing became angry and said to the calm Gu Zhengchen on the side: "Brother, look at them, they have scared away all the customers. Who dares to come and buy sugar!"
Yao Zhen and Zhang Pei who were following him were also very angry. These people were obviously people hired by the Pingliang Marquis Mansion!
Gu Zhengchen's eyes were a little cold.
These people stood outside the shop. Although they did not make any move, nor did they enter the sugar shop to smash, smash, loot or burn, they did affect the business of the shop. When people coming and going saw these vicious people, they walked away for fear of getting into trouble. Some When a few people stopped to buy sugar, they swarmed them and surrounded them without saying anything or doing anything. Before the sugar could be wrapped, they were scared away.
When Hu Dashan saw Gu Zhengchen and others coming, he hurriedly stepped forward, his brows full of sorrow: "We have to find a way. If this continues, this business will be impossible."
Gu Zhengchen sat down and looked at the dozen or so fierce people outside the door. After thinking for a moment, he walked to the desk, spread out the paper, picked up the brush, wrote two lines of words, and then handed it to Hu Dashan: "Put it away." Hang outside.”
After Hu Dashan saw it, he looked horrified: "Is this appropriate?"
Gu Zhengchen chuckled and said, "If there's anything inappropriate, I'll take care of it if something happens. Go ahead."
When Zhou Shang, the guard of the Marquis of Pingliang, saw the man at the sugar shop coming up with a new trick, he snorted coldly: "You have offended the Marquis and you still want to make a deal?"
People on the side laughed at him.
But who would have imagined that not long after the trick was posted, more and more people came to buy sugar. Some people's eyes became friendly when they saw the fierce man. Some people would say hello and salute. Give me a pancake or something.
Zhou Shang was confused by this sudden change. He didn't know what was written on the move and what kind of magic power could make these people not afraid of the fierce eyes and threats!
I found a calligraphy teacher and pointed at Zhaozi and asked.
After the calligrapher saw it clearly, his expression changed, and he quickly saluted to the Zhaozi, and then said to Zhou Shang: "What is written on the Zhaozi is that the emperor likes to eat Juren white sugar..."
Zhou Shang's eyes widened: "This, is this okay? Isn't he afraid of causing death?"
He is probably the first person since the founding of the Ming Dynasty to dare to expose the emperor.
Zhou Shang finally understood. The people passing by came to buy sugar for the sake of the emperor. The emperor was hanging here, who cared about a few vicious men?
Just when Zhou Shang was at a loss and was in a dilemma, a smiling face appeared. Hu Dashan smiled and presented five guan of money and invited Zhou Shang and other brothers to have a drink.
Zhou Shang took the money and left with the people.
Seeing that the problem was solved, Hu Dashan wanted to take off the trick, but was stopped by Gu Zhengchen: "Leave it like this, it will be good for business."
“Isn’t this—likely to cause disaster?”
Hu Dashan knew that this method was tantamount to using the emperor's name to attract buyers. Once it spread to the ears of the Tian family, it would probably lead to beheadings.
Gu Zhengchen smiled: "Whether it will work or not, let's wait until we meet the emperor."
Seeing that Gu Zhengchen had an idea, Hu Dashan didn't ask any further questions.
The business of the Sugar Store was back on track again, and Gu Zhengchen no longer had any worries. He stayed in the Mu Mansion Villa in the afternoon and worked hard on compiling teaching materials. He also had to carefully delete some things. There were some things that could not be mentioned or talked about, such as materialism. Lao Zhu would not be able to spare himself even if he said atheism.
Lao Zhu believes in God. God is his God. He is his own God and the God of the Ming Dynasty. He cannot be said to have no God.
Materialism cannot be explained, but it can explain some physical laws and phenomena. Of course, it needs to be wrapped in the sheepskin of Neo-Confucianism...
Mu Chun and Mu Sheng are both good people. Not to mention the stable Mu family, Mu Ying needs a lot of help because of her deep family ties with Zhu Biao and Queen Ma. This is her own backstage and she must build it. Tighter, tighter.
