Wang Gui's errands lasted for more than half a month and finally made progress.
Zhu Gaoxu bolted the door of the study, sat in front of the desk and wrote quickly, reorganizing what Wang Gui wrote because the eunuch remembered it was too confusing.
Wang Guize bowed and stood beside him, answering Zhu Gaoxu's question from time to time.
The commander Zhang Xin will go out and when to get the value down, these basic situations are no problem.
He went to visit a prostitute, but he had never been to a brothel?Zhu Gaoxu asked without raising his head.
Wang Gui said: I haven’t been to brothels these days. This person seems to be a place where there are not many people. Every time I quietly go to an alley on Zhonglou Street to find a fixed family prostitute.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded, wrote the words in this passage a little bigger and focused on marking them.
It is not unusual to be an official and prostitute in this era. It will only be restrained until the Xuande period will be severely cracked down.
In the report, Wang Gui also wrote about Zhang Xin’s mother’s activities. She had been to Lingquan Temple in the West Mountain twice to burn incense and worship Buddha; and four times to Renshou Pharmacy in Renshoufang to take her pulse and get medicine.
Zhu Gaoxu asked: What medicine did Zhang’s mother take?
Wang Gui looked ugly and hesitated: I forgot to check...
Zhu Gaoxu immediately raised his head, looking unhappy.Wang Gui suddenly said: Although I don’t know what medicine she took, I know her symptoms, my head is sore and dizzy, and I wake up from my dreams at night.
Zhu Gaoxu asked: Are you sure?
Wang Gui nodded: It was hot recently, and the old injuries seemed to have relapsed under my servants, and it was not very easy. That day, I went to the pharmacy in Renshoufang and got a few pairs of medicine. I said, "The old woman was lucky just now, what disease did she suffer?" The doctor in the hall told me!
very good!Zhu Gaoxu put down his pen, stood up and paced back and forth in front of the bookshelf.
After a while, his movements suddenly became faster, and he turned around and sat down, continued to write quickly, wrote many words, marked Arabic numerals, and drew some arrows.
He wrote for a while, looked up at Wang Gui, Wang Gui, you don’t have to stay here.Go and shave your hair, get a set of broken monk clothes, and come back to report your life.
Slave... Is it necessary for me to shave my hair?Wang Gui blurted out with a sad face.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at his face, calmed down, and comforted him with kind words: Although your body, hair and skin cannot be damaged at will, you have even cut your eggs, so what do you care about? The hair is shaved, and at worst, it will grow up soon!
Wang Gui lowered his head, touched his crotch quietly with his hand, and replied, Yes.
Seeing that he was so beautiful, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but say something more, since Zhang's mother believed in Buddhism, it would be the 19th day of June in two days. When Guanyin Bodhisattva became a monk, Zhang's mother would definitely go to the temple. The opportunity was rare, we have to meet her for a while.
Wang Gui hurriedly said: I will obey the order.
Zhu Gaoxu stayed in the study for a while. Seeing the sun hanging outside the door and the sun was no longer so hot, he decided to go out.He walked out of the vestibule and saw that the person who was on duty today was Veda.
This handsome middle-aged man with a shoe-tight face is bored and listening to the sound of drums at the hour of You is worth it.As soon as Zhu Gaoxu arrived, he hurriedly went out to pay his respects.
Zhu Gaoxu's direct descendants had a total of three civil and military personnel. In comparison, two military generals were more reliable than those civil officials because the middle and lower-level military generals had fewer ways.
So Zhu Gaoxu said: Wei Baihu, follow me out for a walk.
The last one will get orders!Veda said.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't change his clothes, and was wearing a thin gray robe he wore at home. He immediately said casually: Call me Mr. Hong in a while.
yes.Veda responded with his fists again.
They went to the stable to pick two horses with the worst quality, and led the horse out and went out.
Zhu Gaoxu went outside the gate tower and turned over and headed straight to Zhonglou Street.When the two arrived at Zhonglou Street, Zhu Gaoxu discovered that the street was close to the former Kuanghan City, and the people living nearby were not rich families.
He wandered around casually.At this moment, a tavern located at the entrance of the alley attracted his attention.
The door of this tavern is well-renovated, but the location is really bad: it is clearly close to the street, but the direction of the door is on the sparsely pedestrian alley!
In addition, there are not many rich people around here, but it is decorated so that it is very expensive. Who can get in?
They just want to find some places that are tattered and cheap.
Zhu Gaoxu and Weida walked around the door. He looked at it and as expected... the sun had already set. Just as the meal was at the end, there was not even a single guest at the door of the tavern!
Can this business be done?
Oh, please come in!The enthusiastic waiter greeted, with a white towel on his shoulder and a smile on his face.
Zhu Gaoxu handed the horse reins to the waiter and walked in with Veda.
There is a hall inside, and there is actually a pavilion with a wooden ladder up there.The shopkeeper behind the counter also greeted him with a smile, but his smile looked very reluctant, which was even worse than crying.
We won't eat.Zhu Gaoxu said straight, "Shopkeeper, are you selling this shop?"
Zhu Gaoxu observed his expression while talking.
The shopkeeper was surprised at first, then red light shone again, and soon he opened up the conversation. My shop was rented, but I bought something myself, so...
Zhu Gaoxu interrupted him impatiently, and I also felt it was good, leaning against the street, the location was very good!You can offer a price.
Eight hundred stakes of treasure money!If you use copper coins, it will only be one hundred jin.The shopkeeper stretched out four fingers and stared at Zhu Gaoxu.
good.Zhu Gaoxu clasped his hands together.
The shopkeeper suddenly stomped his feet, looking very regretful, and said, "The land rent is not full, you have to make up for my rent!"
Zhu Gaoxu asked clearly about the money for rent, and immediately gave it to Daming Baobao first, then wrote a contract, signed and pressed his handprint.He signed one: Hong Bin.
A transaction is completed in less than a stick of incense!Zhu Gaoxu immediately took over the operating rights of the restaurant and issued the first business strategy: everything is the same, but the price of all the wine and food is increased to ten times!
So one table of wine and food can be sold for 200 guan of treasure money, and four tables can buy this shop.
Zhu Gaoxu proudly said to the waiter chef and others: As long as you sell four tables, you can earn back the capital soon.
high!Manager Hong is indeed tall!The chef gave a thumbs up seriously.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't stay for a moment, and asked Xiaoer to lead the horse out and go out of the restaurant with Veda.
At this moment, the cook's voice came from inside: It's over, we have to find other work as soon as possible.Let him pay the wages when he leaves!
There are only two days left before June 19th, but Zhu Gaoxu set off on June 18th, and the preparation time is very tight.Because he knew that some devout pilgrims would go up the mountain at night in order to burn the first incense stick.
...In the early morning of June 19, Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Gui, who were wearing monk's clothes, had already arrived at Lingquan Temple.
Lingquan Temple is an ancient temple built during the Song Dynasty and its incense is still very popular.
It was not clear, and the outside of the temple was burning brightly. The black smoke and incense ash burning incense candles were everywhere. The wind blew all over the sky, and it hit my face, making people unable to open their eyes.
Zhu Gaoxu took Wang Gui to wander among the buildings like tourists, and they had already discovered Zhang's mother.
But there were seven or eight men and eight men and women around Zhang's mother. He didn't dare to act rashly for a while. He first walked around in places not far or near to find opportunities.
As the sky gradually turned white, Zhang's mother and others came to a noisy place, which was a place for vegetarian food.
Although it was early morning, it was very lively.The errands and pilgrims in the temple gather here to have a meal, and the chef and business travel between them is the most lively place in the temple now.
But Zhang's mother and her group did not stay in the canteen. They passed through a gatehouse and arrived at another place that was not so messy.
This place is also a place for vegetarian food, but the temples are divided into different levels. They have many identities and incense money to worship, so of course they cannot eat with a group of mixed people.
Zhu Gaochi looked at the vegetarian room where Zhang's mother entered, and saw several people standing outside the door, so he and Wang Gui returned to the hall hall with him.
Zhu Gaoxu asked Wang Gui to buy some porridge, steamed buns and pickles, so he sat down and started eating first.
Wang Gui stood beside him, looking stunned, but he did not dare to sit down and eat.
Zhu Gaoxu chewed the steamed buns in his mouth for a while and swallowed them. He reached out and picked up a bowl of porridge, raised his head: Hold it, take it in.Don't worry, I won't finish it alone, I'll keep one for you.
Wang Gui said: I dare not, I dare not.
go.Zhu Gaoxu urged in a deep voice.
...Wang Gui had a bald head, lit six incense scars with black ink, and carried a bowl of porridge in his hand, then walked through the hall and headed towards the vegetarian room.
Sure enough, the slave at the door just glanced at his head, and had no intention of stopping him.Wang Gui then pushed the door with porridge and closed the door casually.
Oh, it's really fast.Zhang's mother spoke.
Wang Gui gave a one-handed gift, put the porridge on the wooden table, and the donor waited for a while, and other things would be served soon.
Zhang's mother nodded indifferently, counting Buddhist beads in her hand.
Wang Gui walked to the door and suddenly turned around and said: Has the donor been having a headache on his left side recently, dizzy, and he still couldn't sleep well at night, and he had too many dreams?
Ah?Zhang's mother raised her head all at once, how did the monk know?
Seeing this, Wang Gui walked back and frowned and looked at Zhang's mother's face. The donor's face was full of evil spirits. Someone at home offended the kingly spirit in the north!
Zhang's mother said in surprise: How do you say this?
Amitabha!Wang Gui closed his eyes and said, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed..."
Zhang's mother immediately took out a small inlay of silver from her arms and put it on the table.
Wang Gui shook his head and said: What is the use of things outside of me?However, the donor respects my Buddha and has a compassionate appearance... My Buddha is compassionate, so I am so arrogant and say something more.The more offensive the king's aura, the more disasters are, and I am afraid that the whole family will suffer blood!
After Wang Gui said that, he turned around and left without taking the money.
...When Zhang's mother came to her senses, she hurried to the door and opened the door. She looked around and saw where was the monk just now?
After a while, the person who delivered the meal came, but it was not a monk.Zhang's mother asked, and the person who delivered the meal said: There must be no monk who delivered the meal.
Zhang's mother looked back at the table and saw that the bowl of porridge was still there, otherwise she would have thought that she had never seen any monks just now.
Zhu Gaoxu bolted the door of the study, sat in front of the desk and wrote quickly, reorganizing what Wang Gui wrote because the eunuch remembered it was too confusing.
Wang Guize bowed and stood beside him, answering Zhu Gaoxu's question from time to time.
