Zhang Shixun looked up at the sky outside and advised Gao Yanei, "It's snowing outside and it's so late. Let's go back tomorrow."

Gao Yanei said, "If you sign a contract with me now, I won't go back."

"It's absolutely impossible without seeing the money! Even if I agree, Wang Dong won't agree." Zhang Shixun refused without even thinking.

"Then why are you still wasting your time talking to me?" Gao Yanei walked outside, muttering as he walked, "It's better to buy shares as soon as possible. Such a big piece of fat meat will easily be snatched away by night owls."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hu picked up the empty wine bowl and threw it at Gao Yanei. It hit Gao Yanei on the butt and fell to the ground with a "crash" and broke into pieces.

He was already drunk and was sitting on the ground, rolling around and crying. His tears and snot were so miserable that anyone who heard him felt sad and cried.

"Master, you are drunk." Seeing this, Zhang Shixun hurriedly stood up and tried to help him, but Prince Yun pulled his clothes. When he turned his head, he saw Prince Yun winking at him.

Zhang Shixun couldn't figure out what he meant.

Prince Yun smiled at him, then turned to Zhang Hu and said, "Mr. Tongyuan, why are you crying so bitterly?"

"Woo woo!" Zhang Hu did not answer, but just cried with his mouth open.

"Mr. Tongyuan, if you don't speak, who knows what you want to do?"

“Wuwu…!”

Zhang Shixun said, "Master, you are drunk. Let me help you go to the guest room to rest."

"Wuwu...!" Zhang Hu sat on the ground, kicking his legs, and his crying became louder and louder.

Zhang Shixun saw that Niubizi had a bad temper when drunk and was the type to cause trouble, so he half-jokingly said, "Old Taoist Niubizi, if you cry again, I will throw you into the toilet."

"Woo woo! I want to buy shares! Woo woo..." Zhang Hu sobbed, and he finally spoke.

Zhang Shixun said patiently, "The shares have already been distributed. If you want to buy shares, you can only go to the Gao family or the He family to discuss whether they can give you some."

"I don't want to hear it, old turtle, you're just saying sutras." Zhang Hu cried and kicked his legs, shouting, "I want to buy shares, I want to buy shares, woo woo..."

Zhang Shixun didn't know how to deal with the drunkard, so he looked at Prince Yun for help.

Prince Yun chuckled and said loudly to Zhang Hu, "Mr. Tongyuan, if you have something to say, please stand up and speak properly. Sitting on the ground like this is unmannerly."

"I don't want to be a gentleman, I want to invest, woo woo...!"

Zhang Shixun and Prince Yun looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time.

Just as he was feeling helpless, Wang Dong's roar came from outside: "Is that bastard here howling in the middle of the night? ...Is he going to let us have a good New Year's celebration?"

The door curtain was lifted, and Wang Dong stepped in, followed by his half-demon-like concubine, Zaohuaer. She was holding a stick at her eyebrows in her hand, and was staring at the people in the room with a fierce look.

Zhang Hu took a peek and his voice suddenly became much softer. He sobbed, "I want to buy shares, I want to buy shares, I just want to buy shares..."

Wang Dong asked Zhang Shixun, "What does this stinky bull nose want to do?"

Zhang Shixun explained with a wry smile, "He also wants to buy our shares."

Wang Dong was furious after hearing this. "You're crying like a ghost, you thought someone had died, Old Zi Niang... You just want to buy shares? Why are you crying?"

Zhang Hu got up from the ground and hugged Wang Dong's legs. "Master...Master, I want to invest...invest."

Wang Dong was almost suffocated by the smell of alcohol coming from his mouth, and hurriedly pushed him away with his hands, but Zhang Hu was very strong and he couldn't push him away.

Zaohuaer saw this from behind, but without saying anything, she hit Zhang Hu on the head with a stick.

Before Zhang Shixun could stop him, Zhang Hu fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back.

Wang Dong was startled. He squatted on the ground, holding Zhang Hu's head and yelled, "Hey! Are you okay?"

Zhang Shixun pushed him away and reached out to feel Zhang Hu's carotid artery.

"Is he still alive?" Wang Dong was very panicked when he saw that blood was still coming out of Zhang Hu's head. He was worried that it would be terrible if someone died.

"Fortunately, he's not dead." Zhang Shixun took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and covered Zhang Hu's wound. He looked up and said to Wang Dong, "You should set up some family rules. Otherwise, big problems will arise sooner or later."

"I will." Wang Dong said, slapping Zaohua'er in the face and shouting, "Get back!"

Zaohua touched her face and said, "My lord, I didn't use too much force. If I had, this old bastard's head would have been split open."

"Didn't you hear me?" Wang Dong roared, "Go back and kneel on the washboard. Think carefully about why I hit you."

Zaohua stamped her feet, turned around and ran out.

"Ouch!" Zhang Hu groaned and opened his eyes.

"Awake!" Zhang Shixun was relieved when he saw him wake up.

The first thing Zhang Hu said when he woke up was, "I want to invest... in shares."

Seeing that he didn't mention the beating, Wang Dong quickly agreed: "In! You must join! Not to mention buying shares, even if it means buying my ass, I will... Oh! This won't work."

Zhang Shixun suppressed his laughter and said, "Wang Dong, your decision is correct. One more person means more strength, and many hands make light work."

"I want to invest ten shares... No! Twenty shares." Zhang Hu jumped up from the ground with a somersault.

"Niubizi, so you weren't drunk?" Zhang Shixun felt cheated.

"I didn't...drink..." Zhang Hu's body softened and he slid to the ground, starting to snore.

Prince Yun shook his head and said helplessly, "He's just like that. As soon as he drinks a little, he starts to act recklessly. Even in the palace, he's lawless after drinking too much."

He glanced down at the soundly sleeping Zhang Hu and continued, "I remember one time at a palace banquet, Zhang Hu got drunk and used my father's legs as a pillow in front of so many people, haha!"

"Really?" Zhang Shixun was very surprised. With Zhao Ji's narrow-mindedness, how could he tolerate Zhang Hu's insolence?

Wang Dong blurted out: "Your father will definitely chop off his head."

Zhang Shixun and Zhao Kai looked at him together.

Wang Dong asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

"How many heads does a bull nose have?"

Wang Dong laughed dryly.

Zhao Kai continued, "Of course, the emperor wouldn't kill him. On the contrary, when the censors impeached Mr. Tongyuan, the emperor said to them, 'Zhang Hu is drunk. Why are you arguing with a drunk? Forget it, forget it.'"

Zhang Shixun said, "The emperor is very magnanimous."

Wang Dong snorted softly and turned away.

"Don't go!" Zhang Shixun held him back and asked, "How much more shares can we give?"

"You decide." Wang Dong shook him off and walked out angrily. "Ever since you entered the manor, there's been chaos everywhere. I haven't had any peace. Hurry up and finish your work and get out of here."

Zhang Shixun said with a playful smile: "It's snowing heavily outside, where do you want me to go? Hehe! If people don't stay, then heaven will."

"I'm so annoyed with you."
