Chapter 113: Whose Good Intentions

A month passed in a flash.

Zhang Zhuo originally wanted Zhang Yue to live in a simple house and study hard, but since Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, came to the door that day, he woke up to the fact that this was Jingshi and not Kaifeng, and it was definitely not a good thing to blindly close the door and not be overkill. So, after strictly instructing his son, he let go of Zhang Yue's affairs, and only cared about his own schoolwork, and did not mention the words of his own questions.

The exam also requires talent, compared to Zhang Yuelai, Zhang Zhuo's talent in this is undoubtedly ordinary, otherwise he would not have taken the exam for more than ten years before he won the promotion. Of course, there are more people than him, who have spent their lives as an old child.

It's May and it's getting hotter. Early in the morning, the bright red sun hung high in the sky, emitting endless heat. When he came to the door of Du's house under the sun, Zhang Yue was already sweating profusely, and the green shirt on his body was also half wet. Jumping off the big black horse, he casually threw the reins to Yue Shan, who came up, wiped a handful of sweat and walked inside.

Although Du Zhen was not there, he was instructed first, and Mrs. Du Qiu always asked people to bring things over every once in a while, either Du Zhen's former window textbook or Du Zhen's test questions, or homemade snacks to eat, he couldn't refuse, so he often came here. Fortunately, Qiu Shinian was about to try in another country, and he just stayed for an hour every time.

However, this time, he had just bypassed the shadow wall and entered the screen gate, and met the old servant Nan Bo who had served Du Zhen in Kaifeng for many years in the outer courtyard. He smiled and said hello, and the white-haired Nanbo smiled and said, "Childe, there happens to be a guest today, and the housewife is receiving in the flower hall across the courtyard." The hostess said, if you come, go directly, that is Lord Liang of the East Palace. ”

Zhang Yue is a frequent visitor, so he naturally knows how to go this way. Therefore, he refused Nanbo's guidance, and only took Liansheng Lianhu inside. Walked a short distance along the cobblestone path, and passed through a moon gate, which is the west courtyard of Dufu, and there are three flower halls at the head, with spotted bamboo curtains hanging in front of the door, and two small houses standing at the main corner under the steps. Seeing him coming, one of them shouted loudly. The other paused for a moment and trotted over.

"Mrs. said to ask Childe to go in directly."

Zhang Yue instructed Lian Sheng and Lian Hu to wait outside, and he took the boxes in the hands of the two of them. When he arrived at the door of the flower hall, the little guy in front of him raised a bamboo curtain, and as soon as he bent down to enter the door, he saw an old man wearing a gauze robe and a gauze hat sitting on the left hand, and he was about the same age as Yang Shiqi. And there are four screens of flowers and birds landscape paintings, although there are no people in sight. But sitting behind him was naturally Mrs. Du Qiu.

Zhang Yue handed over the things to a girl next to him and met Qiu Shi first. Because they knew each other well, he had just bent down when Qiu Shi said, and then said, "Go and see Lord Liang." He is a bachelor's degree in attendance at the Hallym Academy. It also has the right spring square of the East Palace. Lord Liang once acted as the president of the "Yongle Grand Canon", and there are few people in the court who can stand side by side with this knowledge, and the emperor is very fond of it, and your husband has always respected Lord Liang. I heard that you are about to take the township exam. If your husband is not there, if you have any questions, you can also ask Lord Liang for advice, he has always spared no effort to promote the juniors, which is also the most famous in Shilin. ”

Zhang Yue knew that being able to become a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy in these years not only had to be profoundly knowledgeable, but also was often the most trusted minister around the emperor, not to mention that this Lord Liang was also an official of the East Palace and a person respected by Du Zhen. Thereupon. After Qiu's introduction, Zhang Yue hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute, and then sat down in the last seat. As soon as he sat down, he heard a kind voice.

"Mrs. Du has already said that I will spare no effort to promote my juniors, and it seems that I will not succeed if I don't carry it this time!" Master Liang smiled slightly, and then nodded to Zhang Yue and said, "You are still young, don't slack off because of your background." Don't live up to your teacher's expectations. Your teacher isn't there these days. If you have any questions, just come to me. ”

Lord Liang gave a few words of encouragement, and a little servant reported under the corridor that the book had been prepared. He got up and took his leave. Qiu's own was not good at sending each other, so she ordered the housekeeper to send it to the door on her behalf, and as soon as the people left, she ordered the two girls standing next to her to remove the screen, and beckoned Zhang Yue to come up.

"Mr. Liang is here to borrow books today, I think you have already said that you will come today, so I left him to sit for a while, and sure enough, I let you catch up." Qiu Shi's face became more and more kind as he spoke, and he smiled again, "This time, the emperor toured the north, and among the scholars of the Hanlin Academy who left to assist the prince, one is Yang Shiqi, and the other is this Liang Qianliang, who is the prince's right-hand man." They are all your teachers, and their knowledge is good, if you have any questions, you can always consult, which will also be beneficial to your future career...... Ahem, if your husband knows, he must blame me for a lot of things, but since there is an opportunity, how can I watch you miss it? ”

Zhang Yue knew that Qiu's intentions were kind, so he hurriedly thanked him, and then said that he needed to pay attention to his body and so on because the summer heat was unbearable. After gossiping for half an hour, he refused his wife's stay and got up to say goodbye. Out of the small flower hall, he found that Lian Sheng Lianhu was missing, and he felt strange in his heart, so he asked the two little guys under the steps, who knew that they were all fragmented, and they didn't say a reason for a long time.

Could it be that the big living people will be lost in this Du Mansion?

Faced with this puzzling situation, Zhang Yue naturally didn't want to turn around and go into the small flower hall to see Mrs. Du Qiu, so he went out of the West Cross Courtyard. As soon as he went out, he saw his two missing scholars standing in the corner, but there was also a young man in a small uniform next to him, looking at the back and looking vaguely familiar. At this moment, Lian Sheng and Lianhu saw him, but the young man with his back to him was still unaware, standing there chattering about something.

"Do you two remember what I just said? Stupid, I've said it three times! ”

"Remember, remember!" Lian Sheng watched Zhang Yue approach quietly, and wanted to be confused, but when he saw the person on the other side staring at him, he had to swallow hard, "After our brother goes back, I want to tell the young master, although the Liang Bachelor and Yang Ge Lao just now are partners to assist the prince, they seem to have some problems with each other, and the emperor is on his northern tour these days, and the Jinyi Guard of the Beijing Division will inevitably patrol from time to time, so the young master had better not go anywhere, just study at home with peace of mind." ”

"I finally remembered. When you turn around and say to your young master, remember to turn slowly, and don't show your mouth! If he knows, you'll see! ”

Zhang Yue listened in surprise behind him, and immediately laughed dumbly. He said that every time he came to Du's house, there were always two very reasonable words after Lian Shenglian Hu went back, but it turned out that it was not the two brothers who had grown up, but someone mentioned the relationship behind his back. It's just that no matter how he looks at someone, he doesn't look like someone who can come up with such a big truth, so he coughed lightly.

As soon as he coughed, the man suddenly jumped to the side like a frightened fawn, and when he turned his head and saw him, he was immediately stunned. After a long time, the man showed an annoyed expression, and stomped his feet at Lian Sheng and Lian Hu and shouted, "Two stupid people, why don't you remind someone when someone comes?" ”

This young master is here, do we dare to speak out? Lian Sheng and Lian Hu looked at each other for a while, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that their unlucky days had finally come to an end, and they would never have to look at the face of this eccentric little girl in the future. So, when Zhang Yue came over, the two of them smeared oil on the soles of their feet at the same time, and no one paid attention to the angry shouting of the little girl behind them.

"Little Fifth girl, let's meet again."

"Who wants to meet you...... Xiao Wu muttered angrily, and then raised his head without dodging, "Since you heard everything just now, it's up to you whether you listen to it anyway." This is...... The old man mentioned it before, so I kindly mentioned it to those two guys. I've said everything I need to say, I'm going to Qixia Temple to see Young Master Yao! ”

Seeing Xiao Wu turn his head and leave, Zhang Yue couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile without waiting for Xiao Wu to take a few steps: "Please also ask Xiao Wu girl to tell Miss Du, I have accepted this warning, and I must be careful when I act in the future." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Wu turned around angrily, and his pretty face turned red: "This is all my own opinion, what does it have to do with Miss!" Hmph, the old man left Miss and his wife at home, and ran to Kaifeng to accept disciples by himself, Miss hates you too late, how can I help you! In this place of right and wrong, don't just think about being in the limelight, don't lose your life recklessly! ”

Leaving these words, Xiao Wu immediately ran out like a gust of wind, and disappeared in a flash.

Zhang Yue looked thoughtfully at the direction she left, but his heart was steady. Whether this is a warning left by Du Zhen or a reminder from Du Juan, it is similar to Zhang Fu's previous instructions to Mrs. Wang. After going out to meet Lian Sheng Lianhu, he saw that the two brothers had the same sneering expressions, but he didn't bother to ask anything, and went straight to the horse and galloped out.

"Big brother, do you think the young master is annoying us?"

"Ahem, I knew this earlier, I should have told the young master the first time I met that girl at the Du family!" Lian Sheng struck the horsewhip twice in his hand in annoyance, and said with palpitations, "If it weren't for the fact that she was a girl with a bigger temper than the young lady, and there were still two strokes under her hands, we wouldn't have been coerced by her for so many days!" Long pain is better than short pain, and the young master should be fine after he is angry...... Oh, what are you talking about, the young master is gone, if you lose someone, how can we explain to the master when we go back! ”

The brothers got on their horses in a hurry, and chased after them in a hurry, and they couldn't help but pray to God and Buddha in their hearts - God, it was all that little girl who caused the trouble, and it had nothing to do with our brothers!
