Chapter 579: Its feelings are pitiful, and its people can be acquainted
Although they are still in the Gu family's 100-day mourning period, the grandchildren, except for the two children who have not yet been released, Zhang Zhen and Zhang Fu, have all been removed from their uniforms and gone to the Yamen on duty, and Zhang Fu was also ordered to go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to inspect things, and the spiritual shed was suddenly much quieter. This day is not a whole day, Zhang Xin and Zhang Zhuo brothers took turns in the morning to receive the guests who came to the door to pay tribute, in the afternoon because the number of guests is decreasing, Zhang Xin ordered another guest to come by Zhang Zhen to follow, and he called Zhang Zhuo to the study to talk.
It had been less than a year since he had returned, and although his favorite books had been placed in the newly cleaned study, and all the furnishings had been cleaned up by the servants who had taken care of the study, he always felt an indescribable strangeness when he sat in it. At this time, seeing Zhang Zhuo sitting down, he unnaturally glanced at the banner with the word "meditation" on the wall, and then sat down behind the elm desk.
"Third brother, the old lady left a suicide note before she died, you should know it."
Although Zhang Zhuo has only been back for ten days, he has already heard Zhang Fu mention this, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then raised his head and said briskly: "Brother Fu mentioned this matter to me. Big brother, I might as well say the truth, the old lady is indeed a good intention, but I deserve these things. After all, it is also a thought left to me by the old lady, but the field shop is absolutely impossible. Yue'er and I have divided the family's land property after coming out, and the expenses are enough, so I still ask the eldest brother to collect these together. If you feel that you can't disobey the old lady's will, leave me a harvest at the end of the year. ”
thought that he failed in the imperial examination and was looked down upon at home, so Zhang Zhuo had an unusual desire for money rather than hope that others would agree. Now that his son has a career and his business is successful, he doesn't take these things outside his body so seriously. If it weren't for the fact that in addition to Yuan Fang, his own industries were also connected to Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong, Xiangcheng Bo Li Long and other nobles, he would no longer want to take advantage of the family's public expenses, but some things are not so easy to say.
Listening to Zhang Zhuo's words, Zhang Xin couldn't help but take a closer look at the other party. He was young and ambitious, and at the age of twenty-eight, he won the township test in one fell swoop, and he stepped into the officialdom all the way, if it weren't for the previous heel Dou Dazai, he wouldn't have paid attention to his two younger brothers at all. Zhang You has at least been knighted for his military exploits since he was a child, but Zhang Zhuo has already surpassed the five grades in just four years after he joined the office, and he has always thought that it is because of a good son. However, now it seems that he underestimated people.
"Where did the third brother go, there are still a lot of large and small granges in the public middle school, and the things left by my mother were originally for everyone, where is the reason why I will collect them for you? It's just that my mother's intention to leave these is nothing more than to maintain our family from being separated, and I naturally hope so. Mother has pre-placed two nearby homestead plots, I don't think you will be able to enter the office so quickly, and the larger one on the west side will be given to you......"
"Big brother, don't talk about these now, even if my mother has placed the land, can we still build another house and move out during the Ding Wei system? Isn't it a joke for others to see it! Eldest brother, my mother is not here, your eldest brother is the backbone of the heart now, I look at the second sister-in-law's current appearance, I should really understand, and I will never be as careful as before. As long as you say a word, everyone will listen. Home and everything is prosperous, this is the mother's last wish. ”
After Zhang Zhuo said this word by word, he stood up, bowed to Zhang Xin and walked straight out of the house. It wasn't until he stood in the sun again that he felt a little more heat on his body, and sighed deeply. Zhang Fu has already said a lot of things to him, and now Zhang Xinbian is still tentative, so he is naturally still worried about the return of Zhang You, who holds the title of Earl of Yangwu. But Zhang Xin didn't want to think about it, is Zhang You such a superficial and short-sighted person?
"Three masters, three masters!"
As soon as he walked out of the door in front of the study, Zhang Zhuo heard the oncoming cry and recognized it as a small servant in the front yard, and he couldn't help frowning: "Which important guest is it?" ”
"Not a guest who matters too much...... Hey, that's not what the small one means. After all, the little guy was young, and as soon as the words came out, he hurriedly made up for it, and then explained, "It's Wang Yu of the Thousand Households of the Divine Guard, and after the sacrifice, he plans to talk to the third young master, and when he heard that the third young master is not there, he plans to leave one of the people who is with him, saying that the third young master has said that he wants to see him before." The executive's family can't be the master, and the fourth young master doesn't know how to deal with it, so let the little one ask the third master how to deal with it. ”
Shen Ce Wei Qianhu Wang Yu?
Hearing this abrupt name and official position, Zhang Zhuo didn't come back to his senses for a long time, searched in his mind for a long time, and finally thought of where he had heard this name, so he suddenly froze. For this figure who played an important role in the case of King Zhao's suspected rebellion two years ago, he can't talk about any good or bad feelings, but since Zhang Yue has some friendship with him, and people personally come to the door to pay tribute, he naturally has to go and see him. Thinking of this, he ordered the little guy, sorted out the sackcloth and filial piety belt on his body and hurried away.
Although Wang Yu, who was sitting in the flower hall of Zhangfu, was sitting at this time, he was extremely uneasy in his heart. And Shi Heng behind him was even worse, walking back and forth for a while, and suddenly came forward and said sarcastically: "Cousin-in-law, things are not accurate now, after all, you have made great contributions before, and you will be fine." Besides, even if the news from the military department is not good, I don't believe that I can't break through the way. It's really not good, I'm going to take the martial arts exam, why stay here and beg for help? ”
"That's the worldly position of commanding the servants, do you know how much credit your father made in birth and death to get this military position?" Wang Yu glared at him with a straight face, and then sighed again, "I'm just a small thousand households, and I didn't have much success before, but now I can't protect myself, and I can't help you in this kind of thing." Lord Zhang is a kind-hearted person, and he has served in the military department......"
Zhang Zhuo, who stopped for a moment under the porch outside, roughly heard the conversation between the two clearly, and had some numbers in his heart, so he immediately relaxed his steps and coughed again before entering the door. Sure enough, this alarmed the two people inside, and the moment he stepped on the threshold, he saw the man sitting on the cedar chair standing up.
After the two sides met, it was a polite talk, he thought that Wang Yu would come to see him for the first time, and he would inevitably try to take some breath, but he didn't expect that the other party was a real person, and soon explained the reason for coming to the door today, which suddenly made him hesitate.
Due to the delay in the future of Shen Cewei, even the commander Zhang Hui was guilty, and the other officers were trembling, so Wang Yu would say that he could not protect himself before, but today he did not come for this matter. He no longer has any relatives on his side, and although the children of his uncle's family barely escaped because of him, they can no longer get close to him with such a deed. Because of this, he wanted to do his best for Shi Heng, who was entrusted to him by his mother-in-law. I didn't expect the news from the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War that the military succession was much stricter than before, and there was a literary examination in addition to the martial arts examination, so he could only find Zhang Yue to inquire about it, for fear of delaying Shi Heng.
Although he is still a half-old child, his ambition and diligence really surprised and admired!
If it was something else, Zhang Zhuo was not afraid to agree for Zhang Yue, but what people were asking for was official business, and he and Wang Yu were not very familiar with him, so after calculating the time, he pondered for a while, and said sincerely: "I can't make decisions for him in this matter." He is now on leave, and there are not many opportunities to be at home, and he will be back in a few moments after seeing the sky, if Wang Qianhu has nothing important, he might as well wait here for a while. It's only now the mourning period for the deceased mother, and only coarse tea treats each other, please forgive me. ”
Being able to get such words, Wang Yu already felt unexpected, and hurriedly thanked him immediately. Zhang Zhuo sat with him for a while, and then left apologetically because there were another guests, he had to wait patiently, and ordered Shi Heng to sit down. He has a good temperament that has been cultivated for many years, and Shi Heng is young after all, where can he sit still, and he stood up again after waiting for two quarters of an hour.
"Cousin-in-law, what if one of them doesn't come back? Let's go......"
"I don't even have such patience, wouldn't it be even more reckless if I go into battle in the future?" Wang Yu rarely made a face to Shi Heng, but at this time, he lowered his face and reprimanded, "You are good at martial arts, and your military strategy is not bad, but this temper that is as impatient as a fire must be changed!" Shi Heng, you have to be a general, you have to study hard to deal with people! ”
was blushing by Wang Yu's words, although he was still a little unconvinced, Shi Heng had no choice but to sit down again. Lian Sheng, who was sent by Zhang Zuo to watch the movement, stood outside the door for a while, and when he heard this, he stopped going in, tiptoed back, and was about to go to report when he heard a shouting outside. Hearing that it was Zhang Yue who came back, he hurriedly rushed out like a gust of wind, and happened to see Zhang Yue coming in from the West Corner Gate.
"Third Young Master, you can come back just in time, those two guests in the flower hall have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Zhang Yue had already heard from the concierge that Wang Yu had brought Shi Heng to find him, so he nodded at this time. Although he should change into filial piety clothes when he goes home, thinking about that Shi Heng, he decided to meet the guest first. followed Lian Sheng all the way inside, and when he heard this guy talk about the conversation between the two of them, he couldn't help but glare at him angrily, but he felt that Wang Yu was a good person.
If Wang Yu was not such a pragmatic character, he would suddenly become a five-grade and thousand-household general banner from the stream, and he would not have been appointed so quickly.
When he entered the flower hall, he saw two people sitting on the left hand chair. Wang Yu was dressed in a half-old azure silk robe, while the tall Shi Heng was a gray cloth robe and black cloth shoes, neatly cleaned up, and his waist was tied with the filial piety belt offered by the master's family when he entered the door to hang the sacrifice. Seeing that the two of them stood up at the same time, he quickly stepped forward and bowed his hand. When he sat down and heard Wang Yu tell the reason for this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I just accompanied Zhu Zhanji to the avant-garde of the government army today, and this Shi Heng was sent to the door, which was really a coincidence.
