Xu Ping comforted Duan Yunjie a few words, and saw that the young man inside kept leaning out and looking out, he stood up and walked straight into the store.

Sitting down opposite the young man, Xu Ping asked him: "What's your name? Whose house is from?"

The young man looked at Xu Ping and raised his head and said, "Why ask me? Who are you?"

"My name is Xu Ping, and I was granted the title of Marquis of Yongning County. I am currently the doctor of the Ministry of War and the deputy envoy of Yan and Iron. Before returning to Beijing, I was appointed as the chief of the military affairs of Yongzhou Prefecture, and the promotion of the sucrose affairs of Yongzhou Prefecture, and the promotion of Zuojiang Daoxidong."

The young man thought Xu Ping was familiar, but after hearing Xu Ping's words, he realized that he had seen him at the ceremony of prisoners last year.

A high-ranking official of the court sat opposite him, and I don’t know why Xu Ping mentioned his official position so much. The young man was a little nervous and whispered: “My name is Zhang Xinyi, the East End Official, I—my father is the former Privy Councillor Zhang Pushe!”

Xu Ping nodded: "So, the little Yanei from Zhang Pushe's mansion, why have you been in this store these two days?"

"I'm in the store, so I'm naturally eating wine. Do you have any control over it?"

Zhang Xin stared at Xu Ping with his eyes, and his voice suddenly became louder.

Xu Ping smiled and said, "Of course I can't control it, but the store said you are harassing a good man here. You have repeatedly advised you to leave and you will not leave here. I can't ignore such things."

Zhang Xinyi blushed: "Why do you care? I like the little lady of the Duan family and want to marry her as a concubine. She is useless and has violated the law of the king? Besides, even if it is inappropriate, it is not your turn to be the deputy envoy of the Third Division to take charge!"

Just now, when Zhang Xin saw Xu Ping and Duan Yunjie talking kindly, he had been jealous for a while. He started to attack and pointed at Xu Ping and said, "Did you also like the wife of the Duan family? You also have a wife, you are just taking a concubine! You didn't pay for taking it home, why should you stop me?"

Xu Ping's face darkened, he grabbed Zhang Xin and pointed at his finger, and slammed it on the table.

Zhang Xinyi was spoiled and could not compare to Xu Ping's daily fitness routine. He even used to fight to kill the enemy. His fingers hurt and he couldn't help but scream: "What are you doing? Do you want to use force? My father is a servant of this dynasty, and Jianjie Feng Gong, you dare to be arrogant!"

Xu Ping said coldly: "If you talk nonsense anymore, I'm going to slap my mouth!"

Zhang Xinyi had never seen such a scene. He was frightened by Xu Ping and did not dare to speak anymore, but just got angry with his eyes.

Xu Ping said: "Do you know what the Duan family lady you are tangling with?"

"I'm just a down-and-out official woman, I'm not your wife and concubine!"

Xu Ping raised his hand and slapped Zhang Xinyi's mouth, which made Zhang Xin stunned and looked at Xu Ping foolishly.

"The father of the Duan family's wife was originally the magistrate of the county magistrate of Yongzhou. Later, she served as the magistrate of Taiping County. Unfortunately, she died of serious illness because she returned to Beijing to report her job. I just told you that I was the chief official of Yongzhou. Didn't you hear it? Duan's magistrate worked under me for many years, and I don't know how many contributions he made. As a result, he passed away without waiting for Xugong, leaving such a daughter alone."

It was not until this time that Zhang Xinyi woke up and covered his face that was beaten by Xu Ping and stuttered: "So what? In short, her parents have already gone. Men are married as big as women are married as big as women. What did I do wrong again?"

"You don't know where you are wrong? After the Duan family's wife was a hero, she is now wearing filial piety. She had to open a small shop here for life and showed up in public. She was actually teased by a powerful son like you. What is your official position?"

Zhang Xinyi was confused by Xu Ping's statement. Duan Yunjie was wearing a plain clothes, but she didn't expect that her clothes were pure and filial. After all, Zhang Xinyi had no idea.

Xu Ping said slowly to Zhang Xinyi: "Miss Duan's father turned out to be a hero under my command. When I met a frivolous tyrant like you in the capital, I had no choice but to call me. What are you talking about?"

Zhang Xinyi was confused by Xu Ping's words, and suddenly became a little scared and uneasy. Zhang Qi himself rose to the top by climbing the big tree of Empress Dowager Liu. He had no talent, but he was very good at teaching his children and was very strict in his daily life. Zhang Xinyi was not the kind of playboy who was spoiled by his family. Besides, he had more than 20 brothers, and it was not his turn to be favored.

The reason why I have been entangled here in the past two days is that one is that she is fascinated by beauty, and the other is that she is a dilapidated house with no background. Zhang Xinyi's father was at least a Privy Councilor and was entrusted with the Duke of the State. Although the Zhang family is not as powerful as the Queen Mother when she was there, for a dilapidated house, it is undoubtedly from hell to heaven to enter.

When Zhang Xinyi shook his heart, he remembered his situation. Seeing Xu Ping being fierce on the opposite side, he still pressed one of his hands firmly, he was afraid that he would become angry and embarrassed. Xu Ping was just a county marquis and the deputy envoy of the Sansi. Although he was close to the newly favored uncle Li Yong and his family, he was too domineering to him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xinyi suddenly pulled the hand that was caught by Xu Ping. Unexpectedly, his strength was too small and he didn't pull it out at all. He was caught by Xu Ping. He couldn't help but blushed: "Those who don't know are not guilty! I didn't know this before, even if I pester Mrs. Duan here, it's not a big mistake. When you come here and beat and scold me, wouldn't you take my home seriously?"

Xu Ping said coldly: "I don't take you as an incompetent prodigal child like you seriously. What does it have to do with your family? Could it be that you still carry the sign of the 'Duke Deng's mansion here?"

"You let me go first!"

Xu Ping shook his head disdainfully, let go of Zhang Xinyi.

Knowing that Duan Yunjie is still in the filial piety period, Zhang Xin was unwilling to bother him and did not dare to bother him. It would be fine if no one knew about it. As long as he used means to get Duan Yunjie to the mansion, everything would be fine. Now that he has already provoked Xu Ping, he can't use any means, and he may even cause trouble if he is not careful.

After countless thoughts turned to his mind, Zhang Xinyi stomped his feet hatred. He could only remember in his heart that there will always be a chance in the future. Could it be that Xu Ping can watch here for the rest of his life?

Standing up, Zhang Xinyi looked at Xu Ping and Duan Yunjie hatefully and left in disappointment.

Looking at Zhang Xinyi's departure back, Duan Yunjie whispered to Xu Ping who came beside him: "I heard that his father is a servant, and he is a Duke of the State. If you offend him like this, will there be any consequences?"

Xu Ping laughed when he heard this: "I offended him? When he was in Yongzhou, his father was the Privy Councilor at that time, and I wonder how much trouble he caused me! Now he has a son who is here to pester you, why don't you ask if his family is afraid of offending me?"

After hearing this, the dark clouds on Duan Yunjie's face finally dissipated and she smiled: "You are a sincere gentleman after all, and you will not care about these villains. What kind of offense should you not offend?"

"A gentleman does things just to be open and honest, and to repay kindness with kindness with grievances. When he gets into the head, I won't swallow this loss easily!"

After hearing Xu Ping say this, Duan Yunjie is a little worried: "What are you going to do? You can get someone in the officialdom in this way!"

"I'm not so good either. I just drove this incompetent boy out of the capital! Don't worry, I will openly say that the Zhang family's little yamen is in trouble in the capital, disturbing the place, and seeking a small official from the remote small state to avoid causing chaos in the capital! Besides, I have a lot of words in the officialdom, and I don't have this one either!"

Duan Yunjie didn't say anything more. After knowing each other for so many years, I knew that Xu Ping would not be so easy to retreat when he picked up the cow, but he would not lose his mind and would always grasp the measure.

The two sat down at a table. Duan Yunjie looked at Xu Ping and said, "You have been very busy these days. I haven't come to my small shop for a long time."

Xu Ping did not answer, nor could he answer. The capital city was no longer the same as in Yongzhou, and he had the final say in what he had. Thousands of people were responsible for his own dispatch. Now he had to do many things himself, and he was still constrained everywhere. How could he have the freedom to work outside? More importantly, he still had to take care of his family, and the family affairs were even more unavailable in front of Duan Yunjie.

At this time, the sun had already set foot at the foot of the mountain, and it was completely dark. There were lanterns of various colors hanging on the trees on both sides of the road, like long dragons, winding around Kaifeng City.

"The moon rises to the willows, and people make an appointment after dusk."

Xu Ping thought about it, it seemed that he had never had such beautiful and romantic days when he came to this world. Now sitting with Duan Yunjie, he was also full of ties with state affairs, family affairs and private affairs.

After a while of silence, Xu Ping whispered to Duan Yunjie: "Opening a hotel business is always a matter of showing up, and maybe something will happen. This time, I will drive away a little Zhang family, and I don't know who will cause another person in a few days. Forget it, you two should change their careers, so why can't you make a living?"

Duan Yunjie smiled and said, "What are you doing?"

Xu Ping lowered his head and thought for a while, suddenly remembered the books printed in the editor today, and suddenly looked up at Duan Yunjie: "Or, you'd do your best and open a workshop for printing books in the capital. Today, the printing books in the Sansili is a very different from the one you printed in Yongzhou back then! The bookstores in the capital have always sold well, and it makes money to print any book!"

"What to print? What to sell? Where can I get the capital? Our small shop is working hard and I can only save twenty or thirty cents of money a year. The set of tools that Yongzhou printed books back then was worth a lot of money."

After being haunted by Zhang Xinyi for two days, Duan Yunjie was also a little annoyed and didn't want to open a hotel to make a living. It was not that she had thought about picking up the work of printing books again, but that she had too much capital and was powerless.

Xu Ping looked at Duan Yunjie and smiled: "Isn't I still there? There is always a way to raise capital for you!"

Duan Yunjie looked at Xu Ping and just smiled and shook her head. Now it is not as good as back then. How could Duan Yunjie take the money from Xu Ping’s family? Xu Ping has everything at home, and the most important thing is to have a wife and a daughter. This is a gap that cannot be crossed.
