June of the seventh year of Xuanhe.
More than a year has passed since the last time we entertained many top courtesans in this paradise on earth.
Apart from making money, Zhang Shixun spent the rest of his time eating, drinking and having fun.
At least on the surface.
He now lives in Zhang Xiaozhuang most of the time.
Wang Dong did not lie. After buying the neighboring village, he named it Zhang Xiaozhuang and gave it to Zhang Shixun.
"I live in Gao Laozhuang, and you live in Zhang Xiaozhuang. We can support each other from afar and serve as a cornerstone for each other."
This is what Wang Dong said when he drove him out of Gao Laozhuang.
After Zhang Shixun pointed at his nose and scolded him, he still obediently took his bedding and left.
What they said does make sense. If two people were guarding a village and were really surrounded by Jin soldiers, they would basically have no room to move. As long as the Jin soldiers were determined to deal with them, they would not be able to defend the small village at all.
The final outcome for the two was that they ended up crawling into a tunnel and becoming rats.
They are now extremely wealthy.
Wine and glass brought them a lot of money, and the restaurant business was booming, making a lot of money every day.
In addition, the football match also went smoothly. Zhang Shixun cooperated with the emperor to sell lottery tickets and made a lot of money.
Zhang Shixun was wealthy and powerful, so he started building large-scale projects on his own territory.
In addition to the original villagers of Zhang Xiaozhuang, he used Gao Qiu's connections to hire more than a thousand bricklayers from the imperial guards under the jurisdiction of the Palace Front Department to dig tunnels, build houses, and construct village walls.
In a short time, Zhang Xiaozhuang became a large construction site.
All the original thatched huts were demolished, and new huts and brick houses were built, and the tall village walls gradually took shape.
His own house was built in the center of the village. It was a three-story building, built completely according to the standards of later generations.
After the new village was built, the tunnel was also completed and connected to the tunnel in Gao Laozhuang.
At the same time, the two were also purchasing grain on a large scale.
In order to facilitate storage, Wang Dong took great pains and combined the experience of later generations to develop a compressed dry food. After the experiment was successful, he organized women from two villages to produce it.
In the evening of that day, Zhang Shixun and Ding Dusai went up to the terrace on the third floor, half lying on the deck chairs, drinking wine and chatting.
"Sir, you, the head of the Music Bureau, have a very idle job. You don't care about anything and only focus on yourself."
"The emperor gave me this position as the Director of the Imperial Music Bureau for ulterior motives. He wanted to use it to trap me... Humph! I, Zhang Shixun, have the ability to rule the world, so how could I fall for such a trick?"
"I'm not exaggerating, but across the entire Song Dynasty, no one except me can resist the Jin army." Zhang Shixun took a sip of his wine and continued, "The emperor is digging his own grave by not allowing me to participate in military and political affairs. The demise of the Song Dynasty is imminent."
Ding Dusai couldn't help but shiver.
She believed Zhang Shixun's words unconditionally.
"Sir, are you building this manor to plan for the future?"
"Of course. When the Jin soldiers attack Song, I will bring you and your uncle and aunt here, and we will sit and watch the clouds roll in and out."
"Are you just bringing our whole family here? Sister Li, are you not going to care anymore?"
"this……"
If he said that he didn't want to take Li Shishi over, that would be a lie.
He had some thoughts about Li Shishi.
If you don’t have any thoughts about such a peerless beauty, can you still be called a man?
The problem is, his love for Ding Dusai is sincere and he can't bear to hurt her in the slightest.
Seeing him hesitate, Ding Dusai immediately became anxious, "I don't care about others, Sister Li must take it, otherwise, I won't come."
Zhang Shixun took the opportunity to say, "Okay, I agree to anyone you want to come. Is that okay?"
Ding Dusai was beaming with joy.
"But I have one condition."
"What conditions?"
"Let me kiss you."
"Sir!" Ding Dusai raised his foot and kicked towards him.
Zhang Shixun was quick to grab her feet.
"Ah!" Ding Dusai tried to retract his foot, but it was too late.
"Saisai, why are your feet so soft?"
"You...let go."
"Don't let go!" Zhang Shixun said he wouldn't let go, but his hand loosened.
"You're so mean." Ding Dusai glared at him. "A man's head and a woman's feet can only be looked at, not touched."
Zhang Shixun glanced at her chest and thought to himself: Actually, what I want to touch most is not her feet.
Ding Dusai sat up straight, looked him in the eyes, and said seriously, "I came here today to discuss something with you."
"Oh! Tell me, what is it?"
"Marry me and Sister Li together."
"What did you say?" Zhang Shixun's hand trembled and the wine in the glass spilled out.
Ding Dusai repeated: "Marry me and Sister Li together."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Zhang Shixun hurriedly said, "Saisai, why do you have such thoughts? I am sincere to you and have never thought of marrying another woman."
"Sister Li is so pitiful. She grew up without a father or a mother, and now she has to sing songs with those stinky men every day..."
"Officials..."
"Don't mention the emperor." Ding Dusai glared at him. "If he really cared about my sister, he would have taken her into the palace and given her a proper status. However, up to now, he has only brought my sister into the palace to sing a few songs. As for other things, he has never mentioned anything."
"He is the emperor, and there are countless beauties in the palace, not just Madam Li."
"Sister has long seen through the emperor's intentions, so she is still a virgin."
"ah!"
"Now, you don't have to worry anymore, right?"
"What am I worried about?"
"Marry a faded woman."
"Don't!" Zhang Shixun hurriedly stopped her, "I didn't agree to marry Madam Li."
Ding Dusai said angrily: "If you don't marry Sister Li, I won't marry you either."
Seeing her throwing a tantrum like a spoiled brat, Zhang Shixun couldn't help but laugh.
"Saisai, have you ever asked Madam Li about this?"
"No need to ask, sister will definitely agree."
"I don't think so."
"Sister will definitely agree... Sir, in fact, sister has always liked you."
Zhang Shixun was stunned. "Madam Li likes me, right?"
"During the time when you were away suppressing bandits, my sister would ask everyone she met about your bandit suppression efforts. Every time she saw me, she would ask me about everything about you in a roundabout way... Tell me, would she be like this if you weren't in her heart?"
After hearing this, Zhang Shixun scratched his head.
Does Li Shishi like me so much already?
It's really surprising... no! It's really exciting.
As a man, his self-esteem was greatly satisfied by being cared for by a peerless beauty like Li Shishi.
The two of them were looking at the stars in the sky and chatting. As they were chatting, there was no movement from Ding Dusai.
Zhang Shixun turned his head and saw that Ding Dusai had fallen asleep.
Because it was hot and there were no outsiders around, Ding Dusai was dressed very lightly, with his arms and legs exposed.
Under the moonlight, the beauty is like jade.
