Chapter 422: Slipping Away, Borrowing People

Because he had just arrived at the right gate of Chang'an, he met the people who were waiting there from the Zhu Ning faction, and learned that Du Juan had been waiting outside all morning, and he didn't find a place to hide until the heavy rain poured, Zhang Yue was shocked and naturally rushed over immediately. Although there is such a wonderful hand as Feng Yuanming, and Xiao Wu, a future famous female doctor, pregnant women who are pregnant with Liujia are also considered high-risk groups in the future, let alone now. It was easy to make sure that Du Juan was not in the rain and that it was fine, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief and sighed again.

"If it weren't for the fact that someone came forward at a critical moment today, I'm afraid that I would be drenched in the rain until it gets dark, and it won't come to fruition...... Ahh ”

Hearing this loud sneeze, Zhu Ning suddenly couldn't help laughing, and shook his head and said, "Look at you, you're about to become a mud monkey, where is there still the grandeur of a court official?" Just ask Wan'er long and short questions, don't be busy explaining what is going on at the noon gate at this time! If you get frostbite, I'm afraid you'll have to settle accounts with me...... It's too late to go to the ready-to-wear shop at this time, I remember that my car used to be borrowed by the fourth brother and they used to go out to play, and there seemed to be several sets of civilian clothes in the box. Xiao Wu, go to the car to have a look, and if you have one, bring it. ”

At this time, the rain outside was already light, and several palace guards had just borrowed dry clothes directly from the shopkeeper and boss of this house, Du Juan originally planned to let Zhang Yue change his clothes casually, but after listening to Zhu Ning's orders, she had to let her. Xiao Wufeng hurriedly walked outside with an oil silk umbrella, and after a while, he turned back with a water-red silk burden. Zhu Ning nodded at one of the guards, and motioned for him to accompany Zhang Yue into a room to quickly change in.

Unable to resist Zhu Ning's kindness, Zhang Yue had to go in, wipe the water on his head, and come out in a different body. Fortunately, this is really a set of ordinary scholar's casual clothes, with azure silk cloth straight and fitted on the body. Although he is not afraid of such a little wind and rain now, but he has been in the palace for three or four hours, and the grain of rice has not been eaten without a drop of water, and it is inevitable that he will be hungry at this time, so he sat down next to Du Juan, and his stomach screamed angrily. At this time, Xiao Wu smiled and handed over a box.

"My sister knew that my brother-in-law would be delayed in the palace for a long time today, so I specially asked the kitchen to prepare it when I went out today."

"It's good that you've thought about it, I'm hungry enough to eat a cow right now!"

Zhang Yue, who was really hungry, naturally would not live up to this heart, lifted the lid of the box, and saw that the four small grids in it were all his favorite snacks, and he had a good time. It was easy to fill his stomach half-full, Xiao Wu sent another hot tea, he drank it in one go, wiped his hands with the snow-white handkerchief handed over by Du Juan, and then sighed for a long time, and then explained in detail the fierce debate in the rain today.

Although Zhu Ning and Du Juan had never seen each other in person, they only listened to Zhang Yue's narration, and they still understood the scene of refusing to back down at that moment. When Zhang Yue said that he said those words according to the original preparation, but the emperor was unmoved, and it was useless to even plead with the prince, Zhu Ning glanced at Du Juan even more embarrassedly, and immediately hurriedly asked.

"And who's going to break the siege in the end?"

"It's Lord Tobe Shangshu Natsuhara Yoshina."

Zhang Yue remembered that when the crown prince and grandson escorted Zhu Di back to the palace, the group of science and Taoist officials left in a huff, and couldn't help but deeply admire this old Shangshu who had been in charge of the household department for more than ten years. Seeing that Zhu Ning and Du Juan both showed attentive expressions, he continued: "Afterwards, except for Lord Yang Shiqi Yang and Jian Yi Shangshu, several other ministers complained that Xia Shangshu should not let go at this time, but Xia Shangshu said that these ministers are deeply trusted by the emperor, and even if they admit that there are mistakes, the emperor will not add to their hard work. Now that Xiao Yi, the head of the Ministry of Rites, has died, and there is a speech official who is heavily responsible for this, then the damage to the country and the court will be great. It was because of his words that the few people who were angry at me after the emperor left stopped. ”

"The officials wanted to use the fire of the three halls to make the emperor accept their opinions, and the ministers took advantage of this time to anger the emperor and wanted to exclude dissidents, and a simple fire turned into a political dispute, followed by a tool to eliminate dissent, which is really boring! If you really see the faces of those adults clearly, I'm afraid you will be disappointed! ”

Although Zhu Ning is cautious in the palace, she is her best friend when she goes out, and she speaks straightforwardly. At this time, she didn't know how many people she had knocked over, so she stood up and said: "Okay, okay, now the rain has stopped, there is such a thing today, I'm afraid there are not many people in the yamen who can do things with peace of mind, Zhang Yue, you might as well go to the yamen of the military department to ask for a leave, and accompany Wan'er at home, it is always happier to face her than to those hateful people." Wan'er has me to send it home, you can go back quickly, it's hard to steal half a day's leisure, don't waste it! ”

Faced with such a heartfelt proposal, Zhang Yue naturally did not have the slightest opinion. However, after he came to the yamen of the Ministry of War wearing such a blue shirt, he was told that Fang Bin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was caught in the rain and had already taken leave to go home. So, he asked Zuo Shilang for leave for the same reason, and then went back to the office to explain his official business, and Shi Shiran went out under the envious eyes of a group of subordinate officials. Seeing that he was out of the compound of the Ministry of War, several officials holding the document began to whisper.

"Who doesn't know that those science and Taoist officials are the best at playing tricks, but this time they made a mess."

"The emperor has long been biased, and that's it. But that Zheng Weihuan was refuted by Zhang Yuanjie and his face turned white, and in the end, people begged the emperor not to offend the official, and this time the gang of people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate can be said to have lost all their face to the inside! ”

"For the sake of the country, I am not ashamed...... No wonder Xia Shangshu would stand up and speak for Zhang Yuanjie. I've heard a long time ago that Xia Shangshu of the Pioneer Household Department and Lu Shangshu of the Rite Department once asked the emperor for someone, but the later person came to our military department. The Zhang family has such a bunch of military attachés, and Fang Shangshu has a headache for such a subordinate. ”

The spring rain is as expensive as oil, and when such a spring rain poured the ministers extremely embarrassed, it moistened the flowers and plants on the dirt road with bright water. Zhang Yue didn't care about appreciating these wild flowers and weeds to give a little sunshine and rain to be brilliant, stepping on the muddy road, he turned into Wu'an Hou Hutong all the way, dismounted at the West Corner Gate and hurried in, but happened to bump into the housekeeper Gao Quan.

"The third young master is back? Lord Chen Liujun had just sent the young grandmother back, and I ordered someone to send her to the upper room of the North Courtyard with a sliding rod. Early this morning, the British Duke Zhang Fu and Mrs. Wang came to visit the old lady, so they stayed for lunch, and at this time everyone was talking with them in the upper room of the North Courtyard. Speaking of which, May 15 is the old lady's 69th birthday, and everyone is talking about taking advantage of the old lady's 70th birthday! ”

"I know, I'll be over in a moment. Don't let it go yet. ”

Zhang Yue naturally knew that next month would be his grandmother's birthday, and he had already discussed with Du Juan what to give as a gift, so he was just smiling at this moment. However, although Mrs. Wang often comes, the British Gong Zhang Fu has only come to see it every New Year since he returned from the Xuanfu, and today is neither a festival, nor is it a big day for anyone in the family, how can he suddenly come together with high interest? So, looking at the mud splashed on the hem of his clothes, he knew that it was really disrespectful to go straight to see people, so he hurriedly went back to his yard first.

Opened the curtain and entered the main room, he opened his mouth and was about to call someone, but he saw the curtain next to him move, but it was Lingxi wearing dark green armor who came out of it with a bag of things. Because after she was called back by the Gu family, she didn't come here on weekdays, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and Lingxi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly put down her burden and greeted her.

After seeing the ceremony, Lingxi glanced at Zhang Yue, understood what was going on, and hurriedly opened the curtain to let him into the back room, and immediately rummaged through the closet. After a while, she turned around with two pieces of clothes, and said with a smile: "Amber Autumn Marks have let the third lady take to the upper room of the North Courtyard, and a few little girls have accompanied the third lady and the fifth young master to the back garden to play, so there is no one at this time." It seems that this dress was not worn by the young master in the morning, but the one borrowed by the county lord? ”

Hearing her say this, Zhang Yue knew that Zhu Ning had probably come in to see someone after sending Du Juan back, so he smiled and nodded. After changing all the inside and outside into a clean one, and recombing his hair by Lingxi, he went out with her to the north courtyard. Lingxi hugged the burden, saw Zhang Yue look at it twice, and immediately explained: "The old lady just instructed that this birthday should not be made a big deal, let each room pick out the clothes that cannot be worn, and send them to Daqingshou Temple when the time comes, and give them out to accumulate some merits." The young grandmother happened to say that she had already packed it out and was in the west house, so she asked the slave maid to come and get it. ”

Knowing that his grandmother was such an old man's temperament, Zhang Yue didn't say much next. When he entered the north courtyard, he happened to see that the curtain of the upper room was raised high by a girl, but it was several people who came out of it, led by the British Gong Zhang Fu. Seeing that this seemed to be a send-off posture, he hurriedly hurried forward to salute, but was personally helped up by Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu is not in court today, but he is a meritorious minister, and the scene at noon today has already reached his ears. Although he was about to leave, since Zhang Yue happened to come back at this time, he changed his mind, because he nodded and smiled: "I am only looking at Shuo now, and you are busy, so I only saw you when I was in the court for a while." It just so happens that I have something to tell you, well, auntie, brother Yue's daughter-in-law, let me discuss with you, how about lending someone to me for a while? ”

This statement naturally caused a burst of laughter from everyone around, Gu Shi glanced at Du Juan, and then said angrily: "They are already Guogong, and they are also making fun of children." It's rare for you husband and wife to come over, just have dinner and then leave, Brother Yue, you can borrow as long as you want, and your daughter-in-law will stay with me to talk! ”
