The speed of the driver who drove the car seemed to be particularly slow today.
The Zhuangyuan Building, which could be reached in a moment, took half a stick of incense to arrive.
Jia Amnesty almost thought that today was a rare "traffic jam" in the capital.
However, he opened the curtains and looked outside, the road was very wide, and although those people had just finished their exams, it was the time for carnival or drinking to drown their sorrows, but the streets were not very congested.
That's weird.
Jia Amnesty collected his thoughts, Mr. Zhang is very weird.
He raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhang Heng calmly.
Zhang Heng was playing with the teacup as thin as jade in his hand with lowered eyelashes, his expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see anything unusual.
Could it be that he was thinking too much?Jia Amnesty thought.
Just when Jia She was suspicious, the coachman stopped slowly, "My lord, Young Master Jia, we're here."
Jia She got out of the carriage, thinking that Zhuangyuan Building should be full of people at the moment, after all, now is the time when the general examination has just been finished, and everyone will enjoy it regardless of how they do in the exam, but they saw that the Zhuangyuan Building was deserted. , only the shopkeeper and the second child.
"What's the matter?" Jia She turned his head in doubt, "Shouldn't business be booming at this time? Why are you so calm?"
Zhang Heng clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly, "This is my property, and we will not be open for business today."
Jia Amnesty was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Master Zhang to be so quiet, it turned out he was so rich and powerful.
This Zhuangyuan building can earn at least 800 taels of silver a day.
Moreover, although Zhuangyuan Building is a rising star, in terms of status, the capital is only inferior to the number one building in the world.
"Let's go." Zhang Heng felt a little smug at Jia Amnesty's eyes, he pursed his lips and said with a smile.
Jia Amnesty's eyes were dazzled by his smile, and his heart was pounding wildly.
He didn't think much of it!
Master Zhang is really weird!
"Mr. Jia, the clothes, water, and bath soap are all ready. Please move, Mr. Jia." After stepping into the Zhuangyuan building, the shopkeeper came forward to serve him with a smile on his face.
At this time, Jia Amnesty was not only dumbfounded, he simply didn't know what expression to use to look at Zhang Heng.
He still remembered the last time when he and Chen Ronggui came to have lunch this time, there happened to be a wealthy businessman from out of town who asked the shopkeeper to prepare hot water for a bath. The luxury businessman was dismissed with the reason of "this store never provides it".
Now, well, Jia Amnesty understands it. After all, the Zhuangyuan building belongs to Zhang Heng, so he can do whatever he wants.
After bathing, Jia Amnesty felt refreshed, and his cheeks were slightly blush due to the heat.
He was wearing a moon-white robe with bamboo pattern and silver trim.
Seeing his completely new appearance, Zhang Heng nodded calmly.
It seems that his vision is still very good.
"My lord, how could I find such a suit of clothes that fit me so well?" Jia Amnesty sat next to Zhang Heng and asked with a smile.
Zhang Heng coughed, "It's just someone doing it casually."
The men outside were silent for a moment.
What casual?
Is it a ghost who told him to sneak to Rongguo Mansion to borrow a long robe for measurement?
"That's really a coincidence. It's so suitable to make it so casually. Which tailor shop is it?" Jia She paused and asked with a smile.
He didn't believe in anything casual, the size of the clothes almost felt completely different, and it was clearly made according to his size inch by inch.
Jia Amnesty was very curious, where did Zhang Heng get his size?
"It was done by the maids in our house." Zhang Heng's face was neither red nor heartbeat, and he was talking nonsense with his eyes calmly.
What he said was so serious that Jia Amnesty wondered if he was thinking too much.
"Master, turn around slowly." Xiaoer's high-pitched voice sounded at the door.
Afterwards, one after another, the dishes were brought to the table one after another.
The first thing to serve is Tangzhanmei, which is the plum blossoms that were in bud in the cold winter of last year. When they are about to bloom, the branches are picked off, the buds are stored in honey, sealed with sugar, and put in the cellar igloo. use.
When using, just pour hot water.
At that time, the saccharified flowers will bloom, and the honey will flow into the water, which will be fragrant and as beautiful as a flash in the pan.
Followed by the lily sweet-scented osmanthus fish.
The fish is the best shad, fed with the juice of lily and sweet-scented osmanthus for about ten days. Take it out in order, but it does not damage the shape of the fish at all.
Only by steaming, the fragrance is overflowing.
The meat is tender and fragrant.
Immediately after that, several dishes followed one after another, all of which were auspicious dishes.
Zhang Heng's intentions can be seen.
But the more Jia She thought about it, the more he felt that there was something else in this meal.
It’s okay if you don’t want to, the more you think about it, the more you feel like it’s the same thing.
He secretly raised his eyes to look at Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng was drinking Tang Zhanmei with a calm expression, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Could it be that he was thinking too much?
After dinner, Xiaoer brought two cups of tea.
The tea is clear and watery, just right for sipping slowly after a meal.
Seeing that the dinner was over, Jia Amnesty became anxious for Zhang Heng.
He didn't believe that Zhang Heng was just here to invite him to dinner tonight.
There must be something else going on here.
Zhang Heng seemed to be pleasing to the eye with his eyebrows lowered, and his mind was all on the teacup in his hand, but his palms were in a cold sweat. It was one thing to think clearly in advance, but when it was implemented in practice, he couldn't help it. To hesitate, to regret.
He wanted Jia She to be like-minded with him, but he was also afraid that he would suddenly agree now that he was still young, what if he later thought about it and regretted it?I was also afraid that he would be different from others and not conspiring with each other. I have been tempted by such a person in the past 30 years. It is a lie to say that I don't care.
Thinking about it this way violated a taboo he has always disdained—hesitating before the battle.
Jia Amnesty couldn't bear his temper anymore, he opened his mouth, and wanted to say something.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
"My lord, there is something in the palace!"
At this moment, Zhang Heng didn't know whether it was a pity or a great amnesty. He stood up and glanced at Jia She.
"My lord, go, the matters in the palace are important." Jia Amnesty knew which was more important, and thoughtfully made a decision for Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng pursed his lips, and took a deep look at Jia She, "Go back first, we'll talk about it another day."
Jia Amnesty nodded and watched him leave.
Instead of leaving in a hurry, he sat down again, held up the teacup, and suddenly smiled on his face, whispering to himself: "It seems that I am not alone now—the burden of shaving is very hot."
He was happy for a while, then remembered what the man outside said just now, his expression became serious again, there is no small matter in the palace, especially now that the exam is over, I just hope nothing major will happen.
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly got up and went back to the house, planning to ask Jia Daishan later.
