Chapter 580: The Golden Boy and the Jade Girl
Since it was only a one-sided relationship before, now that he saw Shi Heng again, Zhang Yue naturally had to carefully examine the young man in front of him. It's just that Yu Qian, who has been famous for thousands of years, has already dealt with him, and he has also eaten someone's impeachment, he is not interested in whether this Shi Heng is another Shi Heng, he is only interested in the unusually burly figure, not yet twenty years old, and Wang Yu's innate bravery.
After looking at it for a while, and seeing that the burly young man was also looking at him boldly, he smiled slightly, and then turned to Wang Yu and said: "You can relax about the matter of military rations, and spread it on the heads of you officers, at most, it will be a punishment such as a penalty and a demerit, and it will never be too heavy." The emperor is still angry, just wait until this period passes. As for Shi Heng, if it is really the new regulations set by the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, I am afraid that I can't do anything, but if he is really excellent in martial arts, I can recommend him to go to the vanguard of the government army. ”
The avant-garde of the government army?
At first, Shi Heng was greatly disappointed when he heard Zhang Yue say that he couldn't do anything, but when he heard the last sentence, he immediately lifted his spirits, and hurriedly rushed to the front and said, "Of course I do!" Master Zhang, it is not a new charter set by the Military Election Department of the Ministry of War, it is obvious that someone is deliberately embarrassed! When I went to the Houjun Governor's Mansion that day, I happened to meet a colleague of my father's back then, and he said that there are too many people who have inherited military positions nowadays, and when the military department arranges it, they all rely on relatives to distance and proximity, and this literary examination is especially designed to deal with those who have no way out......"
He said vigorously, but Wang Yu frowned when he heard it, and then found that Zhang Yue's face was gradually sinking, he immediately stopped him in one gulp, and then said curtly: "Children are too ignorant, they are all spoiled by others." If you are embarrassed, forget it, after all, his father was very popular in the army that day, as long as there is a colleague as a guarantee, when he officially comes of age, even if this hereditary military position cannot be conferred, a salary is always indispensable. ”
"Who wants to be idle!" Although he had been taught a lesson before and was stopped just now, as soon as he heard the words "Yu Lu", Shi Heng suddenly felt a sting in his heart, and suddenly shouted in a low voice, "Our Shi family has been in the army for several generations, although my father went early, but I still remember what he said to me at the beginning!" If I can't award a general and fight for a knighthood with my military merits, how can I be worthy of him! ”
"Ambition is not in the age, but the young should also know the proportion! Your cousin-in-law doesn't look down on you, but teaches you how to behave in the world. There are not 100 but 80 people who inherit the military position every year, and the regulations for the selection and inheritance of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War are also arranged according to the holy will, because of hearsay and wanton slander, it is a big crime to spread it, you are not young, you should also know the matter, if you still don't understand the truth of this calamity, then even if you are good at martial arts, you are just a reckless man! ”
Seeing that Shi Heng's eyes were red and his fists clenched when he just spoke, Zhang Yue simply stood up and said something angrily. After saying this, because someone was calling outside, he didn't pay attention to the stunned young man, nodded to Wang Yu and said hello, and then left the house. When he had walked a few steps through the corridor to the left, before he could ask Lian Hu what was the matter, he heard hurried footsteps behind him, so he turned around.
"You don't have to say it. If you don't come to me for yourself, but you come to me for someone else's business, I shouldn't refuse you. It's just that such a reckless kid, if he can't hone his mind, even if he joins the army, he will cause a big mess. No matter what complaints you have, you shouldn't be impatient at first sight. You have been in the army for many years, you should know the rules, although there are young people in the military department, but they are often out of special purpose, so he is only sixteen or seventeen now, even if he can't inherit the military position, it can't be said that someone deliberately embarrassed him. If you bring someone back, if he can restrain his temperament, then bring him back in a few years, and I will try to do it then. ”
Zhang Yue has already said this, and Wang Yu naturally has nothing to say. Although he is a soft and peaceful person, he is reasonable and measured, and he feels that he was entrusted by his mother-in-law but did not manage and teach Shi Heng well, he was even more ashamed, and immediately thanked Zhang Yue, and after a deep bow, he turned around and returned to the flower hall, and immediately left with people.
When he left, Zhang Yue learned from Lian Hu that his second sister Zhang Yi was coming, and he couldn't help but think about the matter of Fangling, so he had to go to see him again, but he didn't ask about the ugly person, so he could only be secretly anxious.
said that he was ordered to read it to the imperial grandson, but since there was no homework, and the civil ministers were not examined, so when he went to the imperial grandson's palace every two days, Zhang Yue simply brought the northern atlas he had collected in the military department in the past two years, and talked about border defense with Zhu Zhanji, who had been trained by Zhu Di since childhood, and accompanied him to talk about literature and reasoning in his spare time. Although he said that the avant-garde of the government army went there twice in three days, he only knew some information and did not talk much, and over time, the officers below the command became accustomed to it.
For Zhu Zhanji, who has always been full of queues all day, this hour and a half every two days is really a leisurely time; For Zhang Yue, who was busy in the past, now his wealth is just enough for him to have time to take care of his grandmother's funeral, and naturally there is nothing unpleasant. And the Sun family also arrived in Beijing before the fifth seventh, except for Zhang You, who was still out of town, the Zhang family was basically complete, and the next five, seven, six, seven and seven were naturally properly cooked.
After finishing Qiqi, the next step is to prepare for 100 days, but the first half of the funeral is finally over. Because the Gu family had already left something to leave, he was still buried with his husband who had passed away long ago when he returned to Kaifeng, so the auspicious day calculated according to the ancient rites was scheduled for the eighth day of December. Except for Zhang Xin and Zhang Zhuo's brother Ding Wei, the rest of the nephews and grandchildren have calculated the time to ask for leave from their respective yamen. The officials wanted to return to their hometowns to bury their elders, and the leave was taken from the upper cut, Zhu Di naturally agreed one by one, and the Zhang family began to make preparations. However, only a few days after the day of July 7, there was a happy event at home.
On the fifth day of November, Du Juan gave birth to a daughter safely. Although there were many twists and turns during her pregnancy, the delivery went smoothly. Zhang Yue went out early in the morning without any warning, and when he returned from the yamen in the evening, he was shocked to learn that he had an extra daughter. Carefully taking the swaddling child, he couldn't help but gently press his fingers on the cheek, and there was still a feeling in his heart that was not real enough.
"Three-three."
Gently calling himself the nickname he had prepared but couldn't use, Zhang Yue only felt very happy in his heart, and the sadness that had been weighing heavily on his heart these days had also been diluted a lot. Although the little guy's face was small, he was already asleep with his eyes closed at this time, and he couldn't see or hear him at all, he couldn't help but hold her and excitedly turn around the room for half a circle, until he heard a shouting behind him, he stopped his steps, and turned his head to see that it was Zhang Jing. couldn't resist his sister's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he had to squat down, but he sternly refused the little girl's request to hug her niece, and only allowed her to look at it like this.
What are you kidding, how strong can a six-year-old girl be, if he bumps into it, won't he regret it for the rest of his life?
Unable to hug her little niece, although Zhang Jing was a little disappointed, she still stared at that face intently for a long time, and then raised her head: "Her nickname is Sansan?" Seeing Zhang Yue nodding, she pouted even more unhappily, "Everyone is ranked third, why don't I have a nickname, I don't do it!" Also, everyone said that they would never see my grandmother again, and even the people who called me the third girl were gone, woo woo woo woo ......"
Originally, I only thought that Zhang Jing was a petty person, but Zhang Yue was stunned when he heard the last sentence. Seeing Zhang Jing's face a mess crying, he gently rubbed his sister's head with one hand and whispered: "Even if your grandmother is not there, you will always be everyone's third girl." Moreover, Grandmother is just where you can't see, and she will always watch you grow up. Jing'er is already an aunt, you see, how many nieces and nephews do you have now? ”
Hearing Zhang Yue say this, Zhang Jing couldn't help but count with her fingers, and when she found that she was indeed an elder with several nephews and nieces, she straightened her chest, wiped her face vigorously, and said solemnly: "Third brother, I know!" I will definitely take good care of Xiao Jingguan in the future, and Sansan, when I am the best elder, my grandmother will definitely see it! ”
Because of the crisp baby cry at home, after the previous marriage, Zhang Fu, who had often been shrouded in a sound of sorrow and blowing and chanting for more than a month, became a little more angry. According to the auspicious day of the zodiac and the day of the introduction, etc., the funeral and burial matters were prepared, and the men and women all gathered around to see this little guy who cried very loudly.
Zhang Yue, who has added a daughter, is very happy, and Zhu Zhanji is the same. Because on the day when Zhang Yue was happy to love his daughter, the full moon ceremony of his first daughter was being celebrated in the East Palace. Although Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi father and son were very annoyed that this was not a boy, he didn't care, because after all, this was the child born to him by his beloved woman.
It's just that the rules in the palace are not as good as outside, even if he is happy and happy, he can't even hug the child, so he has to work hard to organize the full moon ceremony. But because it was a daughter, Zhu Di ordered the ministers to be exempted, so this congratulatory gift was not given by Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and Zhang, or it was given by several brothers, the only exception was a painting by Zhang Yue.
It was a simple and cute picture of the dragon girl, although it was not a good pen, but it was extremely suitable for the occasion, so after receiving the gift, Zhu Zhanji immediately ordered it to be hung up. When he learned in the evening that Zhang Yue was also a happy daughter, he rolled his eyes, so he simply painted a painting, and ordered Huang Run to take it to the celebrant overnight to frame it. As soon as Zhang Yue came in the next day, he smiled and asked Chen Wu, a close servant, to unfold the scroll, but the brushwork was much better than Zhang Yue, which was a picture of a golden boy and a girl.
"You are more blessed than me, now that the golden boy and jade girl are complete, even if your grandmother sees it in the sky, she will definitely be very happy! You are now in mourning, I won't give away vulgar things such as gold and jade, keep this painting, and make a memorial for children in the future! If it's really fate, we might be able to be a son and daughter! ”
