Water Margin official

When Zhang Zhengdao returned to the room, Jin Lian had already prepared his luggage and piled them on the Eight Immortals table.

"Jin Lian, I'm just going out, why do I have so many things?" Looking at the small mountain of packages, Zhang Zhengdao smiled bitterly and said, "It's not like moving, so there is no need to bring so many things."

Pan Jinlian said: "Dalang, it's not as good as at home outside. We're short of things, and there's no place to buy them for a while."

Seeing that Pan Jinlian was still stuffing things inside, Zhang Zhengdao said helplessly: "Jinlian, stop stuffing things inside. Go and call Zhang Liu."

Jin Lian went to the courtyard where the servants lived and called Zhang Liu.

Zhang Zhengdao checked the luggage Pan Jinlian prepared for him and pulled out all the useless things.

At this time, a figure peered at the door of the room.

"Sister Li Gui, what are you hiding outside the door and peeking at?" Zhang Zhengdao asked.

When Sister Li Gui saw that she was discovered by a senior official, she jumped into the house.

"Master, are you going on a long trip?" Sister Li Gui watched curiously as Zhang Zhengdao took out one piece of clothing after another and threw it aside.

"Yes, you should be obedient at home." Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile.

Sister Li Gui picked her fingers and whispered: "Official, can you bring me with you?"

"The slave family can serve high-ranking officials." Sister Li Gui glanced outside the door. Seeing that no one was passing by, she whispered again: "You can serve high-ranking officials like my aunt."

Zhang Zhengdao was stunned for a moment, Sister Li Gui’s aunt? Who is she?

"Who is your aunt?" Zhang Zhengdao asked curiously.

Sister Li Gui pouted and said, "Sir, you really have forgotten that my aunt is Li Jiaoer."

"Ha!" Zhang Zhengdao put down the package in his hand, looked at Sister Li Gui's innocent appearance, and said with a smile: "Why does your aunt serve me?"

Sister Li Gui's face turned red with embarrassment and said: "Of course I serve the high officials in bed."

Seeing Zhang Zhengdao looking at her with a half-smile but not a smile, Sister Li Gui became anxious and said quickly: "The high officials and my aunt have all taught the slaves."

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head and said: "I have serious business when I go out this time. You should learn piano and sing with Jinlian and don't mess around."

Sister Li Gui wanted to say something else, but she heard the sound of footsteps and quickly stopped.

Zhang Liudao: "Master, are you looking for me?"

Zhang Zhengdao glanced at Sister Li Gui and said to Jin Lian: "Take her down."

Sister Li Gui saw that her extravagant hopes failed, so she had no choice but to follow Jin Lian in a low mood.

Zhang Zhengdao then ordered: "In addition to my white horse, prepare three more good horses. Early tomorrow morning, we will set off for Hangzhou. Don't publicize this matter, and be sure not to let my parents know."

"Going to Hangzhou?" Zhang Liu was a little at a loss as to why a high official wanted to go to Hangzhou suddenly.

"I'll get ready now." Although Zhang Liu was puzzled, he didn't dare to go against Zhang Zhengdao's decision.

Zhang Zhengdao packed a simple suitcase and stuffed the heavy five hundred taels of gold into it. Zhang Zhengdao carried it with his handbag. The weight was not bad, more than forty kilograms, not too heavy.

Putting his luggage on the bedside, Zhang Zhengdao thought for a moment, then took the white horse and rushed to the Lion Tower.

During this period of time, Lu Xiaoyi, the flower-armed man, and the few idle men, stayed here every day to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

Seeing Zhang Zhengdao coming on horseback, he hurriedly came forward to greet him.

"High official." Lu Xiaoyi said respectfully.

After handing the white horse to the clerk in the store, Zhang Zhengdao went up to the third floor.

Wu Song was having a drink inside. There was nothing going on in the county government these days, so Wu Song came over early every day to have a drink. Anyway, Zhang Zhengdao had promised him that he could eat as much as he wanted.

"Brother, come and have a drink with me." Wu Song was already three-thirds drunk and was pulling a chicken leg and eating meat.

"Brother Wu, please sit down. I have something to explain." Zhang Zhengdao replied and asked Lu Xiaoyi to find Sun San.

After a while, Sun San and Lu Xiaoyi came upstairs.

Zhang Zhengdao invited the two of them to sit down. The four of them shared a table of wine and food, eating and talking.

"Sir, what do you want me to do?" Sun San smiled brightly. He was taking care of all the business of the Lion House. He had made a lot of money in just two days of opening. It was a time of great satisfaction.
Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "I feel relieved that you are taking care of this Lion House. These days, I have seen your ability in my eyes. I called you here today because I am going to give you a 20% dividend after the annual settlement is completed."

, and we will settle the settlement with you together."

Sun San was shocked and said: "Sir, did I hear you correctly?"

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "That's right, I'll give you 20%."

Sun San was overjoyed and quickly stood up to thank him.

Zhang Zhengdao looked at Lu Xiaoyi again and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaoyi, you and those brothers have worked hard these past two days."

Lu Xiaoyi said respectfully: "The high officials are polite. It is a dream for our brothers to work under the high officials."

"Loyalty is loyalty. Brothers also have families and families, so I will give you 10% first. As for how to distribute it, it is up to you." Zhang Zhengdao was not stingy and gave away the dividends from the Lion House.

10%.

Lu Xiaoyi was also overjoyed and quickly stood up to say thanks.

"My dear brother, you are so heroic. I give you a toast." Wu Song has always admired such true heroes who are willing to sacrifice wealth and justice.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Second brother, you are laughing at me again." Then he had a glass of wine with him.

"Tomorrow morning, Brother Wu and I will go to Hangzhou. We will go back and forth for at least half a year. Therefore, this Lion Tower matter depends entirely on your support." Zhang Zhengdao put down his wine glass and said seriously.

Sun San patted his chest and shouted: "Great officials, don't worry, little people will definitely not make mistakes."

Lu Xiaoyi said: "Great official, why don't you bring the villain with you?"

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Brother Xiao Yi, if the Lion House wants to make money right now, the era of saints is indispensable, and their safety is also very important."

"Later, you and your brothers will move to the vacant house at the back, and you will only have to guard those sisters every day." Zhang Zhengdao arranged: "Don't call those non-three-nos

Four people approach and harass."

Lu Xiaoyi replied: "Officials, don't worry, our brothers will definitely protect the safety of several girls."

Zhang Zhengdao arranged some more details and asked the two of them to go ahead, leaving him and Wu Song alone, drinking and talking.

"Second brother, what do you think about marrying the eldest brother?" Zhang Zhengdao asked.

Wu Song said with a smile: "My eldest brother is full of promise. With his appearance, it will be a happy event if a girl from any family marries him."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "That's very good. I'll ask someone to arrange a matchmaker to go to the Li family to propose marriage."

"It's just that we have to leave for Hangzhou early tomorrow morning. I'm afraid we won't be able to enjoy Brother Wu's bowl of wedding wine." Zhang Zhengdao frowned.

"It doesn't matter, it's not too late to come back and eat again," Wu Song said.

At that moment, Zhang Zhengdao called Sun San up again, told him about the marriage to Wuhan University, and asked him to arrange the matter, and they all walked out of the Lion Tower after following the etiquette.

Before Sun San left, Zhang Zhengdao specifically ordered the matchmaker to come to Wuhan University to do the matchmaking, and only ask the matchmaker who runs a teahouse on Zishi Street.

Sun San took the order and went to see the old woman with the money in person, asking her to act as a matchmaker for Wuhan University.
