For Ge Yong and those middle-aged and elderly officials, the drama of Twelve Rains can be regarded as a good entertainment activity during the Chinese New Year. And for Zhang Chen and others, for the supervisors of Jiuzhangtang and Banshan Hall who watched this form of opera for the first time, it was also worth boasting about to be able to watch a play performed by listening to the twelve rains of Yu Xiaozhu on this New Year's Day, and then coexist with a group of high-ranking officials of the imperial court.

When they left Gefu, the poor prisoners and the rich prisoners were in the same mood.

But as soon as the cool breeze blows, most people wake up immediately. The beauty enjoyed the show, ate the wine and food, and the appetite of the stomach and ears and eyes were all satisfied, but there is a way that the desire is difficult to fill, and then it is naturally the turn of another big event. Therefore, when he saw Zhang Shou beckoning Zhang Wu, Zhang Lu and Qi Liang over, a large group of people actually hulala all came forward.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ying, who was lagging behind, pulled Wu and said, "Aunt Wu, it seems that Ah Shou will definitely be entangled by these people tonight, I will send you back first, right?" As for Ah Shou, it's enough for my second brother to keep it! ”

Wu and Zhu Ying are already familiar with each other like a family, looking at the scene, she didn't shirk it, but said embarrassedly: "Okay, I'll go back with Yingying in the same car." As for Ashou ......"

When Zhang Shou saw so many people coming around, he knew that he couldn't walk today, so when he saw Zhu Ying and the Wu family together, he shouted loudly: "Yingying, please drop me off by the way." I'm not going back tonight. ”

Zhu Ying didn't ask where you live or something stupid, so many sons, even if everyone doesn't mix well at home, but even if they go outside to charter an inn, they are not afraid of a place where they don't speak, and they will not have to blow a cold wind to discuss big things in this big night. So, she smiled and waved her hand, glanced at Zhu Er, asked him to stay, and then pulled Wu into the carriage.

Seeing this scene, there are many people who can't hide their envy. If it weren't for Zhu Ying's beautiful and moving nature and noble birth, there would not be so many people chasing her in the past two years, but just as beautiful flowers often have thorns, Zhu Ying also because of her extremely hot personality, people can only watch from a distance, and they can't blaspheme at all.

Those who had that mind were all dead. For example, Zheng Huaien, the son of the king, who was rejected for his marriage proposal but did not give up on making trouble.

Moreover, even the Lu Shangshu family and the Qin family who were in charge of the Zhu family of the Zhao State Mansion, Zhu Ying did not look up to them, and even had a lot of disdain for the two housewives who were all good wives and good mothers. But now, Zhu Ying is so attentive to Zhang Shou's mother Wu, who is not a small family, how can she not let everyone lose their eyes?

Seeing Zhu Ying leave, everyone put away the little sigh in their hearts and focused their eyes on Zhang Shou.

The beauty is of course very good, but in comparison, a concubine and two honor guests, plus a Jiuzhangtang Lu Zhaichang who was praised by the emperor as a prodigal son who turned into a genius, and a Banshan Hall Zhang Zhaichang, who has only been exposed to the cover of the seaside camp in the past, and the emperor personally criticized the righteousness, that is their example. Besides, those who don't care about the future haven't come today, and those who come are unwilling to be salted fish in the future!

After Zhang Shou looked around at everyone, his head was cold by the cold wind blowing in front of him, and he had to urgently think about where to talk. At this time, Zhang Chen took the initiative to propose: "Little sir, why don't you go to my house." My dad doesn't care about anything anyway, and my mom never cares what I do. It's a big place, and it can fit dozens of people casually. ”

As soon as he said this, Lu Sanlang said angrily: "Zhang Chen, don't you just want to say that you have a son in your family, so you can be the master of the house?" Show that you are an only child? Hmph, my father at home is not good at talking, and my two brothers are not fuel-efficient lamps, but my mother has prepared the future wedding room for me, which is more suitable for everyone to talk, no outsiders! ”

Zhang Chen suddenly glared at Lu Sanlang angrily. Why do you like to raise a bar with me!

Lu Sanlang didn't pay attention to Zhang Chen's angry gaze at all. Isn't this nonsense? You are the head of the Banshan Hall, I am the head of the Jiuzhang Hall, if I weaken in front of you, won't this head of the house be crushed by you in the future? Besides, these prisoners of Jiuzhangtang are far inferior to those noble disciples of Banshan Hall in terms of origin, and they all have to rely on me to fight!

Qi Liang saw Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu looking at each other, as if it was because of the status of the family, they didn't interject, he remembered that this time it was the two elders who continued to sit in the capital, and it was him and Deng Xiaodao who went out to do things, plus Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, this staffing is really delicate. With such a deep groan, he, who often acts as a peacemaker, actually forgot to open his mouth to dissuade Lu Sanlang and Zhang Chen from fighting at the gate of Gefu.

And Zhu Er was also eager to try, and wanted to say that his family could actually accommodate these dozens of people, and his grandmother and stepmother would definitely not have anything to say, but when it came to his lips, he finally decided to stay smart and stay for the end, and see how Zhang Shou solved this dispute first. The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat...... cough, no, he has to see who Zhang Shou favors between Zhang Chen and Lu Sanlang!

Sure enough, Zhang Shou immediately settled the dispute with one final word: "Don't quarrel." I have a good place. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Chen and Lu Sanlang suddenly looked at Zhang Shou sideways, and then said in unison: "It won't be Guozijian, right?" ”

Zhang Shou was amused by the tacit understanding between the two for a while, and said casually: "During the closure of Guozi Prison, don't talk about you prisoners, even I, Dr. Guozi, can't get in, so you don't have to guess." It's just that there should be no one to serve in that place, and there is no food supply, so everyone brought tea and snacks along the way when they passed. ”

Where could there be enough room for so many of them, but no one without food?

Not only did Lu Sanlang and Zhang Chen muttered in their hearts, but even the others were all wondering, but Zhu Er had a faint guess. Wait until a large group of people get on the horses, and those who ride in the car - as for the poor prisoners of Jiuzhangtang who have no horses and no cars, there are also their rich classmates who are kind enough to carry them on the road.

As a result, Hulala and his party took up the entire street. When they arrived at the place, the poor prisoners could only faintly see the neat wall by the illumination of the lantern on this moonless and starlit night, and concluded that it should be a mansion. However, the eyes of the children of Guijie are much more vicious, and even if it is a big night, many people can still tell which street this is.

Lu Sanlang, who watched and listened to all directions along the way, blurted out: "Isn't this the former Luwang Courtyard?" ”

The reactions of the poor prisoners still seemed dazed, but Zhang Chen, as the only son of the Duke of Qin, suddenly came to his senses: "King Lu's courtyard? Is it the king of Lu who died in the tenth year of Yongchen? The emperor's younger brother? ”

The children of Guijie, who were already muttering in their hearts, all understood at this time, and even though many of the prisoners of Jiuzhangtang were people like Yan Fang who did not understand the world, they could not understand the emperor's younger brother's clear and unmistakable expression. And Qi Liang couldn't help but shout: "Little sir, this place is ......"

"I bought it for fifty times." When Zhang Shou said this, he also felt very childish, but he did go to the inner house to go through all the formalities after following Ah Liu that day, and got the first title deed and the first house deed in his life. At this time, facing the glowing gaze of the searchlights around him, he didn't want to explain the deeper reason.

"Because it has just arrived, there is no shortage of furniture and utensils, but there is no one in the next person, and there is no food, so everyone is self-sufficient and has enough food and clothing. I think most of you should have a small stove with you. ”

Although some people sighed in their hearts, if there was really no preparation in the courtyard of King Lu in this cold day, wouldn't it be that the house was also cold, and the stove was also cold, what was the use of a small stove in such a big place?

However, when Ah Liu unlocked and pushed the door, everyone followed Zhang Shou and entered, and entered the untitled hall with amazement and envy, but when they pushed the door, they felt a warm feeling coming to their faces.

At this moment, not to mention that others were surprised, even Zhang Shou was surprised, and instinctively turned his head to find Ah Liu's traces. However, when Ah Liu saw his gaze, he spit out a few words very innocently: "I didn't do it." ”

Zhang Shou was relieved. Thinking that Ah Liu is not an immortal, he should not have thought that he would patronize this place during the Chinese New Year, so naturally he can't talk about burning the earth dragon early. Thinking that when he took Zhu Ying to see the house before, he found that the entire house was well maintained, so he had a number. Perhaps, it was the people of the Inner Mansion who considered that he might come to live, so they burned all the earth dragons early?

But how much charcoal does that need? He came on a whim today, what if he didn't come?

Yes, so many students will go to Ge's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to him and Ge Yong, this can be speculated, as long as the emperor sends someone to convey the appointment, then he will definitely have to keep someone to discuss, and it is very likely that he will come here.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shou simply beckoned and ordered everyone to sit down, while Ah Liu went out quietly, and entered the house after a while, reporting that the corridors on both sides in front of the gate of the courtyard also had stoves, which were enough for the servants to roast and wait, and there was a fire on the stove, and there was water in the teapot, so there was no need to worry about the supply of tea inside and out, so he was more convinced of his judgment.

At this time, Lu Sanlang stood up with a smile on his face, beckoned Qi Liang to move the square table in this hall, and put out all kinds of things including those marinated pastries and soup that he had just bought on the road. Zhang Chen's movements were a beat slower, but he also immediately pulled Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu and Zhang Luo. As for the others, except for one Zhu Er, who came up to help with quick movements, they couldn't intervene at all.

Although there were forty or fifty people, there were still many chairs in the room, but the round and square tables could only be shared by three or five people, but they were barely enough. It's just that everyone was not too embarrassed to eat and drink in front of Zhang Shou at first, but they couldn't stand Zhang Shou taking the lead himself.

The dinner in Gefu, because of the play, to be honest, it was really not full......

"Okay, let's discuss the candidates who follow Xiao Qi and Xiao Deng to follow Wang Dayin to Xuanfu." Because Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying slipped out to fall in love halfway, this dinner actually didn't go well, and what was even sadder was that in front of a large group of students who were full of respectful faces, he couldn't eat and drink without manners. Therefore, he could only cushion a bowl of sweet tofu bought on the road just now.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Qi Liang and said, "Xiao Qi, have you discussed it with Lu Sanlang before?" How to decide on the candidates? ”

Qi Liang wanted to ask Zhang Shou's opinion, but he didn't expect Zhang Shou to directly ask him about the results of his discussion with Lu Sanlang, he hesitated slightly, and finally said: "Wang Dayin became the governor of Xuanda, the initial days should be the most difficult, and Xiao Derpy and I are not experienced enough in specific matters, so I discussed with Lu Zhaichang and felt that the first batch needed to be selected in Jiuzhangtang The most experienced." ”

Seeing that Zhang Shou didn't speak, Qi Liang wasn't sure if he was right or wrong, but he could only stubbornly go down and say: "Therefore, supervisors with experience in being bookkeepers are preferred, supervisors with experience in warehouses are preferred, and those with long practical experience are preferred." However, elite soldiers and strong generals cannot all be concentrated in the first batch, and only the old and new can have the value of experience. ”

Zhang Shou bowed slightly with satisfaction. Seeing that Lu Saburo was full of pride, he deliberately used his eyes to squint at Zhang Chen. , and Zhang Chen, the first person on the lower right, didn't pay attention to Lu Sanlang's gaze at all, Tie Qing was urgently discussing something with Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu with a blue face, and he knew that although the trio surnamed Zhang had discussed, they were afraid that they didn't consider it in those detailed directions at all.

Therefore, he naturally did not hesitate to express his appreciation for Qi Liang and Lu Sanlang's discussion; "You and Lu Saburo are very thoughtful. The two of you have been in Jiuzhangtang for so long, everyone's situation should be very clear, I remember Lu Sanlang, you also spent a few months making a manual for the supervisors of Jiuzhangtang, right? Don't sell it, how many people did you and Xiao Qi choose in the first batch? ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were all focused on him, especially Zhang Chen's gaze was clearly a little incredulous, Lu Sanlang was suddenly proud.

He stood up happily, coughed first, and then picked up a palm-sized manual, and said solemnly as he flipped through it: "As a fasting chief, it is natural to understand the situation of your classmates." "I miss you, Zhang Chen is not as meticulous as me!

"There are more than 20 people in the Jiuzhang Hall, among them there are 19 people with experience in the tent, and the most experienced person among them is Yan Fang, and he has an upright temperament, I think he must get along with Wang Dayin, so he must go in the first batch!"

Yan Fang was stunned for a moment. At the beginning, Zhang Shou gave the gift of books, he has always remembered it, so after the enrollment of Jiuzhangtang, he didn't want to come to apply for the exam, even if the exam paper was copied, but Zhang Shou took him, he was even more impressed for this, and then the first person to test out the password was also him.

If you want to talk about the study progress and monthly exam results, he is indeed among the best, but look at his age is a little older than others, coupled with his humble background, after being rewarded by the emperor with others before, he didn't have much delusion, let alone like some classmates who were more shrewd than him, he went to Zhai Chang Lu Saburo to make a familiar face when he had nothing to do.

But even so, Lu Saburo was the first to name him!

He didn't know how to speak, so he saw Zhang Shou nodding at him: "This first candidate is good, so it's decided." What's next? ”
