Chapter 101: A Rich Reward, Father Wants to Enter Beijing?
Contrary to Zhang Yue's imagination, the reward mentioned by Zhang Fu was not in the name of Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, but was sent by the eunuchs in the palace in the name of Zhang Guifei. Moreover, this benefit is not unique to him, in addition to him, Zhang Chao and Zhang Zhen also have a share, even Zhang Fu and Mrs. Wang have not missed it, which can be regarded as a blessing.
Zhang Fu is a palace brocade robe, a sword, a pair of iron armor, two horses, a hundred taels of gold, four pieces of "all the way to glory" and "gold and jade full of hall" pattern makeup satin; Mrs. Wang and Zhang Yue Zhang Chao Zhang Zhen are also the same inside and outside, Mrs. Wang, who only believes in Buddhism, got a small jade Buddha statue and a string of red sandalwood bracelets, Zhang Chao is a strong bow and a sword, Zhang Zhen is a new book of two treasures and ink, only Zhang Yue in addition to the table, the most things obtained.
There are four new books, ten palace wolf pen, two high-grade light smoke emblems and ink, 100 pieces of imperial gold and silver winning money, four sets of palace new clothes, one embroidered partridge and crane, and one sable fur. This all kinds of things are actually full of desks and beds, Rao is autumn marks and amber are used to seeing good things in the Xiangfu Zhang family and this British mansion, and they are also smacking their tongues when they look at it. In particular, Autumn Scar can't help but play with those exquisitely minted gold and silver coins, and at the same time calculate the value with his fingers.
Zhang Yue knew that these were all to appease the hardships he had suffered last time, so he would be much richer than the rewards received by Zhang Chao and Zhang Zhen. However, at this time, he was sitting with Zhang Chao and Zhang Zhen, and no one cared about the thickness of the reward.
There was also a message from Zhang Guifei that was sent along with the reward just now, saying that Zhu Di had agreed to let Zhang Chao go to Jinxiangwei, although he was only granted a hundred households for the time being, but he was allowed to select ten people from Shencewei to follow, which was also an additional favor. And Zhang Zhen also decided to set off for Kaifeng in three days, so the three brothers got together one day less than one day, and they all wanted to get together more before parting.
Though they were all rewarded, they were shocked. But when they thought of yesterday's scene, none of the three brothers was happy. After talking to each other, Zhang Chao remembered that there was a banquet for his colleagues today, so he had to leave first, and Zhang Zhen, who was left, hesitated for a while, and finally said what he met Zhang Hui yesterday and the other party, and finally reminded him again.
Listen to the tone of the second cousin. It seems that I don't like the eldest brother and the third brother, it's okay that the eldest brother is not in Nanjing when he goes out to fight, the third brother, you stay in Nanjing and be careful about everything, after all, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there are too many powerful people. ”
Hearing this sincere reminder, Zhang Yue nodded, promising that he would be careful in everything, and thanked Zhang Zhen again. Zhang Zhen happened to be going to bid farewell to his father's old friends on this day. After saying this, he also went out. Zhang Yue sent it to the door, and when he turned around, he suddenly turned gloomy, thinking that he and the two cousins and cousins did not interfere with the river water, and they were frequently provoked. This time it's better, and even sowing discord is used.
"Young master, the white fox fur robe you brought back last time has never been worn. Now that spring has begun, is it stored in a camphor box? ”
At this time, it is the tassel that opens the cavity. She and Moonfall were originally third-class girls in the British Mansion. Fortunately, in this Fang Heng Courtyard, the monthly usage has doubled, and now that I have learned Autumn Marks Amber, I have a lot more comfortable speaking and doing things, and I don't have some messy thoughts like I did at the beginning, and my name has also changed. Seeing that Zhang Yue was still stunned, she simply walked over with the robe in her arms.
"Young Master, last time, the makeup satin you brought back from Dade Silk Village was brought back to Kaifeng by Young Master Zhen. But that's too thin. Why don't you pick some of the rewards in the palace and bring them to the old lady and the ladies, you haven't worn this fox skin robe, and it's good to send it back to honor the old lady. ”
Zhang Yue heard her crisp and reasonable, so he didn't think twice about it, so he asked her and Yueluo to help Autumn Scar Amber clean up, and sorted the things to be brought back and sent them to Zhang Zhen. Hearing the voices of the four girls inside like warblers, he suddenly became a little irritable, and after a little thought, he simply got up and walked out of the room. Just crossed the threshold. Then he saw Xiyu who had just stepped into the courtyard with one foot.
Xiyu also saw Zhang Yue at this time. Hurriedly came up and curtsied, "Young Master Yue, Madame, please come over." ”
Zhang Yue couldn't help but wonder a little. With a slight nod, he walked in the direction of the upper room. He remembered that Biluo and Xiyu were the most face-saving girls around Mrs. Wang, but Biluo was as tight-lipped as a bottle, but Xiyu was a shrewd and capable character, so he walked halfway and asked, "What did the eldest aunt say about looking for me?" ”
Sure enough, compared with Biluo's questioning and not knowing, Xiyu pursed her lips and smiled, revealing a little tone: "The slave doesn't dare to talk too much, in short, it's a good thing, Young Master Yue, you will know when you get to Madame." ”
When he came to the door of the upper room, Zhang Yue happened to bump into Zhang Fu's two concubines, so he turned sideways and called his aunt. The two women were no more than twenty-five or sixteen, and they were both dressed in peach-colored clothes, and their eyes were red and swollen at this time, as if they had cried, and when they saw him saluting, they hurriedly turned away and avoided them, and looked up at Xiyu and looked at them with a smile, and hurried away.
Zhang Yue didn't care about the elders' affairs, and Xiyu didn't have the intention to talk about the master's leisure, so he opened the curtain high and bent down and stepped into the threshold.
In the upper room, it was still the solemn scene of the past, Mrs. Wang sat on the chair on the right, and when she saw Zhang Yue coming in, the only trace of annoyance was gone. On the first chair of her head sat a woman in her early thirties, whose head was covered in silk and satin, and whose face was covered with a thick layer of fat, but still showed an unconcealable haggard and pale. On the second chair sat a young woman, handsome and picturesque, who was Zhang Qing?
Zhang Yue saw that his eldest sister Zhang Qing was there, and he was indescribably happy in his heart. He stepped forward to meet Mrs. Wang, who smiled and nodded, pointed to the woman on the ground on the first chair and said, "That's your second aunt, last time on Chinese New Year's Eve, she and your third aunt were not in good health, so they didn't come." It's the first time you've seen you today, so you should make a big salute. ”
Mrs. Wang said so, Zhang Yue turned around and turned over and bowed four times, the woman didn't have time to support, and said that she couldn't do it, and finally when Zhang Yue got up, she hurriedly took her hand and took a look, and suddenly burst into tears: "Or those concubines and sisters in Kaifeng are blessed, and the son born is handsome and capable, pity me for this helpless ...... Although my sister-in-law is not blessed, my uncle has always saluted, where is it like me, a son born to a concubine doesn't take me seriously! ”
Listening to her more and more unpleasant words, Mrs. Wang couldn't help frowning, but for the sake of the concubine's face, she couldn't help but comfort a few words, and then made an excuse to let her touch up her makeup, so that Biluo could help people down. As soon as the people left, she let out a long sigh, and shook her head at Zhang Yue and Zhang Qing: "This is the case with your second aunt, no matter how much this man favors him, he will not spoil his concubine and kill his wife, if they are all like her, they will be suffocated to death sooner or later." ”
Zhang Qing's face turned red when she heard this, and she nodded in agreement. And Zhang Yue was thinking about whether to find a place to talk to Zhang Qing alone, but he heard something that made him overjoyed.
"Brother Yue, your eldest brother and fourth brother will leave in two days, and I was worried that you would be lonely. It just so happened that your eldest brother-in-law's uncle came back, and there were many juniors in the family, and they wanted to be lively, so they planned to let you go over to stay for a few days. There is also good news for you, your father is planning to take the Ministry of Rites examination, and he will soon set off for Nanjing. ”
