Last night, Xiaoyu and Zhang San did their best to deliver output, but this did not affect Zhang San from getting up early the next morning to prepare breakfast for Fang Keying.
Xiaoyu may have been tired and took an unprecedented nap.
When Zhang San got up, he didn't wake her up.
"Why did you get up so early?" Fang Keying asked in surprise when she saw Zhang Sanyi knocking on the door with porridge in the morning.
When Mrs. Xu saw Zhang San getting up early to cook porridge as usual, she smiled knowingly, and then excused herself to go for a walk, leaving space for the two of them.
"I am so early every day, okay? I have a wife and children at home, how can my husband stay in bed?" Zhang San gently stirred the porridge bowl to let the porridge cool down as quickly as possible for Fang Keying to drink.
"I remember when we first got married, you were..." At this point, Fang Keying blushed and was embarrassed to continue.
"But what? It's not so hot now. Let's drink some porridge first."
"I can just do it myself. He's such a big person, so he doesn't need you to feed him. It's so embarrassing to be seen by others."
"I don't dote on my own wife, but anyone who dotes on me will see it when I see it! Come on, be good and open your mouth."
Zhang San finished the bowl of porridge in small spoonfuls.
Mrs. Xu is very good at timing. After Zhang San fed Fang Keying, Mrs. Xu came back over there.
Xiaoyu turned over on the bed, feeling sore all over. She opened her eyes sleepily and saw that it was already broad daylight and Zhang San was not in bed, so she hurriedly prepared to get dressed.
I secretly blame myself for sleeping too deeply, and now I will be laughed at by outsiders.
"My wife, are you up?" Zhang San returned to the room and saw Xiaoyu fully dressed.
"Husband, why don't you call me when you get up? If outsiders see me sleeping, I will laugh at you." Xiaoyu scolded me.
"Who dares to blame? I exercised so late last night, so I naturally need to sleep more." Zhang San said with a smile.
"Ah! Husband, don't talk nonsense." Xiaoyu said shyly.
"Okay, when you get up, hurry up and have something to eat. You will accompany me to the ancestral hall to burn incense later."
Today, the servants in the house are very happy, because the eldest lady has given them a monthly income.
The former jade steward has now become one of the mistresses of the family.
When Xiaoyu was walking in the yard, many servants affectionately called Xiaoyu Second Madam, which made Xiaoyu very happy.
Xiaoyu also brought tea to Fang Keying to offer tea to express her respect.
Zhang San was very pleased to see the two calling each other sister and sister.
Only when the family is harmonious can everything be prosperous!
No, as soon as Zhang San finished sighing, Zhang Fu came in and announced that a man claiming to be Wang Hao had come to pay homage to the Marquis.
Zhang San had never heard of this name and wanted not to see it, but thinking that nothing would happen, he went to see it.
Zhang San asked Zhang Fu to take the man to the living room, and then he came over.
When Zhang San saw the man named Wang Hao, he was stunned for a moment. Didn't this man originally follow Zheng Shide? He was a descendant of the Wang family and seemed to be a side branch.
"What are you doing here?" Zhang San still remembered the time when these people made trouble for him, so his tone was very cold. If he didn't want to see what he was doing to come to him, he would have just asked Zhang Fu to chase him away.
When Wang Hao saw Zhang San's angry questioning voice, he quickly stood up and apologized: "I have disturbed Marquis Zhang. I came here to apologize to Marquis Zhang on the order of the master of the family. I ask Marquis Zhang to forgive me for my ignorance. At that time, I
It’s also out of necessity…”
"Stop, if you are here to apologize, you can leave now, I am still busy." After Zhang San said this, he was about to leave. It would be better to go to the backyard to give his precious son (daughter) prenatal education while talking to you here.
Seeing that Zhang San was about to leave, Wang Hao quickly said again: "Marquis Zhang, please listen to what I have to say. The head of my family wants to negotiate a business deal with you."
Zhang San was very puzzled when he heard this: "Your family master? Are you looking for me to discuss business? Don't you claim to be a scholarly family and a wealthy family, but you look down on the ways of merchants? I, a small county manor, cannot afford to serve you."
"Zhang Xianhou was joking. The bigger the family, the more business they need. Otherwise, how can such a large family support itself? Books from sages cannot fill their stomachs."
Hearing what Wang Hao said, Zhang San couldn't help but have a different view of this person. Originally, Zhang San always thought that this person was a hypocritical Confucian scholar who flattered others, but he didn't expect to have such an opinion.
"What kind of business does your family master want to discuss with me?" Zhang San stopped and asked.
"I heard that Marquis Zhang ran a glaze shop in Chang'an. The price of glaze in it is very cheap. Part of our Wang family's business is selling glaze, so we would like to discuss cooperation with Marquis Zhang. What does Marquis Zhang think?"
Zhang San refused without thinking: "I'm afraid you have picked the wrong person for this. That Liuli shop is the property of His Highness the King of Wei, and I only have a small share. To discuss cooperation, you go to the King of Wei."
That’ll be fine.”
"We, Zhang County Marquis, don't tell secrets. I have inquired clearly before I came here. Although this glass shop is in the name of King Wei, this glass is from your hand, Zhang County Marquis. Our Wang family also sells it.
As for the channels for colored glaze, you have the source of goods and we have the channels. If we two reach a cooperation, wouldn’t the entire Tang Dynasty’s colored glaze market be in our hands?”
Wang Hao didn't look like a scholar at this time, but like a businessman.
"Whether we cooperate or not is another matter. I'm curious, aren't you a scholar? How come you got involved in this businessman's affairs?"
"To be honest with Zhang Xianhou, I have little talent and little knowledge. It is impossible for me to expect to get any fame in this life. In addition, I am a collateral descendant of the Wang family, and it is impossible for me to expect my family to gain any fame for me. Therefore, I gave up writing.
Go into business." Wang Hao explained.
"To be honest, you seem to have a better future in business than in studying." Zhang San praised him sincerely.
"Alas! It's really helpless. I don't have much status in the family. I have an elder brother above me, so I have to rely on myself." Wang Hao sighed.
"Since you were sent by your family master, you must have some talent in business, but doesn't he know that there is a feud between the two of us? I am not a generous person."
"Of course the head of the family knew about it, and he taught me a lesson. That's why I have to bear the blame. Besides, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. If our two families cooperate, we will definitely be able to include all of Datang's glazed business in the future.
It’s in the bag.” Zhang Hao said confidently.
"To be honest, I definitely want to cooperate on this matter. After all, your Wang family is a wealthy family, and you can rely on the big tree to enjoy the shade. It's a pity that the glass business belongs to His Highness the King of Wei. To put it bluntly, I am also a laborer.
You are powerless!" Zhang San declined again.
"Haha, Mr. Hou is joking. No matter whether we can reach cooperation in the end or not, I am sincerely coming to apologize to you this time. I hope we can bury the hatchet. I dare not say that I can become Mr. Hou's friend, but I don't want to be Mr. Hou either.
My enemy." Wang Hao said with clasped fists.
"It's easy to say, there's actually not much of a feud between us. As for cooperation, I'm really powerless."
Wang Hao heard what Zhang San said and knew that it was impossible to achieve cooperation in one go. Good things are long-term, so he didn't stay for a while, said goodbye to Zhang San and left.
"This guy is quite interesting!" Zhang San shook his head and smiled, feeling that Wang Hao was not as simple as he seemed.
