Chapter 522: Good People Have Good Rewards

The first inspection of the Du family was aimed at inspecting belongings, while the latter focused on the search of letters. Since the purpose is different, the appearance of the rest of the life after the catastrophe is naturally very different.

The weak winter sun shines on this messy home, and it looks more and more cold. However, although the environment is messy, the home is quite organized. Several male servants were silently cleaning the outer courtyard, and the two housekeepers and daughters-in-law in the inner courtyard were busy cleaning up the scattered things on the floor of the main house, and there were bursts of cooking smoke on the kitchen chimney, and a cook was quickly filling the prepared breakfast into the food box.

Du Juan, who came over early in the morning, sat on the edge of the kang and couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable when she saw her mother leaning there with a haggard face. Qiu Shi looked at the ceiling with a little apprehension, and suddenly sighed.

"It's not that I didn't want to keep my in-laws last night, I just wanted to think about the hardships of the family, if I hurt others, your father would have to blame me at that time. Fortunately, last night's posture was fierce, and those people were still a little measured, and your father's collection of books was not touched, but the manuscripts and letters he wrote by himself were copied away. I haven't seen Fang Shangshu and Xia Shangshu's homes copied before, but I've heard about it. Fang Shangshu's family copied almost everything that could be copied, and the old and young in the family left two sets of clothes, as well as five treasure notes per person, and even the house was sealed. Xia Shangshu's family still has a son who is just Shang Bao Sicheng, but even the cloth clothes and pottery are not left...... So, don't say that our family is just copying and inspecting, not having a membership, even if it is a membership, I can get through it. ”

At this time, Xiao Wu happened to open the curtain and come in, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but wrinkle his nose in annoyance, and opened his mouth to say: "Mother, now that we are here, how can you always stand up for something by yourself?" Didn't Brother Wan say that he was willing to take leave to help here today, you have to drive people away! There are also people from the Zhang family, and it is also good for the in-laws to leave them, but not only did you send them away, but you also asked the in-laws not to come! And our family has such bad luck, Yang Ge Lao and the two Shen Bachelors don't come to take a look! ”

Qiu Shi looked at Xiao Wu's pouting face, and a little smile appeared on his face. She is from the past and married a daughter, how can she not see Wanshijie's intentions. It's just that Du Juan is her own child, so it doesn't matter if she speaks thoroughly; But after all, Xiao Wu had that kind of experience when she was a child, if she oversaid it, maybe the little girl would avoid the Wanshi Festival.

"People naturally have good intentions, but you can't take it for granted. Of course, you have to be grateful for sending charcoal in the snow, but you can't let people get into trouble because of sending charcoal in the snow! It's Yang Ge Lao and the two Shen Bachelors, how do you know that people have never worked hard in the dark, do you have to come to the door to say some comforting words to me, then you call it help? ”

Seeing that Qiu's words were so choked that Xiao Wu had nothing to say, Du Juan couldn't help but think of the situation when his mother taught him when he was a child. I remember that the words I recognized during the enlightenment were all taught by my mother, and the Tang poems and Song poems were also memorized by my mother one by one. So, she stood up and put the food box on the small table on the side, pulled Xiao Wu to sit down beside her, and helped to beat a few words.

"Xiao Wu, I know that you are worried about your father and feel sorry for your mother, but you have to understand that there is more than one way to send charcoal in this world. Elder Yang Ge is often in front of the king, and a casual word may be able to make the emperor change his mind. The two Shen scholars are just grass edicts, because they are deeply favored and have countless pairs of eyes staring, but they may not have helped. Even Daddy, he would never want to make a friend because of his own affairs. Be kind to help others, but you can't put yourself in it! ”

Xiao Wu was still unconvinced: "But my brother-in-law still wanted to take us to Beizhen Fusi to visit the prison, and Brother Wan insisted on staying to help last night, why aren't they afraid of being implicated!" ”

Hearing that the little girl pulled Zhang Yue and Wanshijie together, Du Juan couldn't help but be angry and funny, so she gently pinched her nose: "You already call him brother-in-law, why do you still ask such a stupid question?" He was my father's student and my father's son-in-law, my husband, how could he not do his best? As for Wan Gongzi...... That's really a good guy with a warm heart! ”

"Hmm...... I still think that a good person like Brother Wan is really ...... Ah, I forgot, sister-in-law Qi asked me to send barley porridge! ”

Even the Qiu family, listening to Xiao Wu's incomprehensible words, couldn't help but laugh. Smiled and watched her hurriedly lift the lid of the food box, and saw the little girl holding the porridge in one hand and saying that she was going to feed herself, so she sat up straight. Although she hadn't slept all night and was very frightened, she felt extremely satisfied that her two daughters were by her side. When the bowl of porridge was drunk, she sent Du Juan to the West House to pack up the books, leaving Xiao Wu by her side to talk.

Like the rest of the world, the Westinghouse study was a mess. The so-called untouched is just that Jinyiwei did not take these books away, but the chaos is inevitable. Thinking that Ming Di and Mo Yu, the two scholars, were about to clean up the outer study at this time, Du Juan also rolled up his sleeves and put the books back in place according to his memory. This is not only a brain-consuming, but also laborious work, she is busy sweating, and she has cleaned up a small half. When she picked up a copy of "Wenxin Carving Dragon", she stared at the Xiu Ting handwriting written by Shen Zao on the title page a few more times, and suddenly heard a call behind her.

"Sister, my mother is asleep, I'll help you!"

Xiao Wu ran in briskly, picked up five or six books on the ground one by one, and walked forward with them in his arms, but he could still see the bloodshot of staying up all night in his eyes. After handing it to Du Juan, she hesitated for a moment and then asked in a low voice, "Sister, will Daddy really be okay?" ”

"Definitely."

Du Juan didn't hesitate at all, and nodded heavily. Seeing Xiao Wu's sweet smile blooming on her face for a moment, she only felt that her heart was full of warmth, and she quickly turned around and placed a scroll of books on the shelf, so as to hide the sour feeling in her eyes. Gradually, the boiling emotions calmed down, and her thoughts flew somewhere else.

Zhang Yue left Zhao Hu for her before leaving, and the rough man would send a roll of paper to Ermen every day. She didn't know where these news came from or what kind of means they used, but she knew that it was all what Zhang Yue wanted her to know. After taking a quick look at these and throwing them into the charcoal basin to burn clean paper, she knew that Yang Shiqi had been euphemistic in front of the emperor, and Yang Rongjin Youzi, a pair of colleagues, also helped to say good things, even the Shen brothers had also tried to want to join their colleagues to write together, but the other people in the Hanlin Academy refused to come forward, Yang Shiqi persuaded again, and the two could only stop talking.

When she got into the carriage this morning, Zhao Hu also sent a message, saying that it was dark before dawn, as long as she survived this period. But even so, the darkness of the black clouds crushing the city this time is too terrifying.

stayed at Du's house for a whole day, Du Juan originally planned to stay at home for one night, but was forced out by Qiu's family. In the evening, she took a car back to the Zhang family's mansion in Wu'anhou Hutong. As soon as she got off the bus in front of the West Corner Gate, she caught a glimpse of the three five-frame gold-lacquered beast-faced tin rings not far away, and hurriedly asked a gatekeeper who came out, "But is there someone from the palace?" ”

"It was the imperial eunuch Zhang Gonggong who came to reward things, because the second master's handwritten victory chapter has arrived, and in addition to beheading thousands of levels, he has captured Li Long, the son of Li Li, and the emperor is very happy!" Although the porter lowered his head, his voice revealed unconcealed joy, "The third young grandmother came back just in time, I heard that Grandpa Zhang also asked about you, you should go in quickly." ”

Even though Du Juan has always been steady, when he heard this, he immediately lifted his spirits, nodded and immediately rushed inside. When she went out this morning, Lingxi originally said that one of the three of them would follow, but she didn't agree, except for Mafu and Zhao Hu, she only brought a mother Cui who was in charge of clothes in the yard. Therefore, as soon as she entered the Yimen, everyone else retreated, only Cui's mother still followed. At this time, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law had already come up to report that Zhang Qian was accompanied by Zhang Zhuo in Ruiqing Hall, and asked her to come over by name.

After naming him, Du Juan, who originally wanted to go to the upper room of the North Courtyard to see Gu's first, naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he slowed down after straightening his clothes, and asked Cui's mother to go to the old lady to report first. When she arrived at the Ruiqing Hall, which had been expanded and had seven rooms and nine frames, she saw two rows of neat and upright brocade guards standing at the door, and the pomp was full of momentum, and she felt more confident in her heart.

Needless to say, this must be a reward.

However, all the rewards in the palace are rewarded, meritorious, and routinely rewarded, and each has its own rules and regulations. The so-called meritorious reward is a reward for meritorious service, and the gift is not precious, but it is better than the meaning. For example, today Zhang Qian took the brocade guard to enter through the door of Zhang's house openly, but what was awarded was only 50 taels of platinum, 100 ingots of banknotes, and two altars of imperial wine, which were not worth mentioning compared to those valuable tables on weekdays. But because this is a reward, Zhang Zhuo, who is used to receiving the envoy these days, feels even more happy, and when he heard the news from outside the door that Du Shi asked to see him, he owed Zhang Qian.

"Father-in-law Zhang, the son-in-law returned to Ning today, so I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Mrs. Wang had given Zhang Qian a heavy gift for Du Zhen's matter before, and he already thought that Zhang Yue was a good person, so he cared about this little thing, so he smiled and said: "It's not in the way, it's just that I waited for a quarter of an hour more, and let people come in." ”

After Du Juan came in to pay respects, Zhang Qian couldn't help but look up and down, and even lowered his voice: "This morning, the emperor read the letter that Jinyiwei found from the Du family, and he has been relieved, and then because of what the King of Han played, King Shouguang immediately set off to guard the tomb of the Fengyang Emperor, and afterwards sighed that the father and son of the in-laws are not as good as the son-in-law of the next floor. Looking at it like this, Master Du is about to come out, and this good person should always have a good reward. ”

Seeing that Zhang Zhuo and Du Juan were full of joy, he said with a smile: "In addition, our family has a few more words, and now it will be a small year in a few days, Baoding Hou Xiaohou quietly sent someone to take his daughter-in-law to Xuanfu for the New Year, and Wu'an Hou also took a concubine over, but the emperor not only did not blame him, but also let people reward Mrs. Wu'an Hou and Mrs. Baoding Hou in the afternoon." Now that Master Du has nothing to do, Du Yiren either goes over by himself, or sends two stable past servants, in short, let Zhang Yue have a good year! ”
