Chapter 289: Goodbye to the Prospective Son-in-law

Although the Jinyi Wei of the Yongle Dynasty had never handled such earth-shattering cases as the Hu Weiyong case and the Lanyu case of the Hongwu Dynasty, because of a rampant and domineering discipline, his reputation among the people of the court was not small. Compared with this, although the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are the places where the name of the criminal punishment is really managed, it is already a common practice for people to go to the prison in brocade clothes when the minister is guilty. The people in prison are all-encompassing, from civil and military officials to eunuchs, but very few can come out.

Du Zhen didn't expect that he could come out so quickly, and he couldn't help but squint at the sun when he stood under the big sun. Although the edict is not a dark dungeon, the light is naturally not good, even if the jailer guarding him has always responded to his needs, even if he does not ask for anything, and this candle and oil lamp is used by him to the fullest, but after all, he can only move in that square inch of space. Thinking about Yang Pu, who has been in prison for five years next door, he can't help but feel a little illusory.

"Sir!"

Hearing this, Du Zhen didn't look at where the sound came from, but glanced at his feet. Finding that he was standing at the gate of the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard, he suddenly smiled slightly, and then Shi Shiran went down the steps. It was only then that he raised his eyes to look at the man who had just shouted, and then at the carriage waiting there.

He has only accepted one student in his life, and he has never served as a school official, and there is only one person in the world who will call him that.

In prison, even though those Jinyi Guard captains have some preferential treatment, there is one thing that cannot be preferential, that is, no communication, whether it is family affairs or state affairs, Du Zhen is a smear. At this time, he took a closer look at Zhang Yue, and saw that he was wearing a lotus-blue silk robe, and a pair of black Fu shoes under his feet, tidy up, and couldn't help but smile.

"Let's get in the car, I'll talk about it when we get home."

Construction is going on all over Beijing, and countless alleys and alleys have been opened, most of which have not yet had time to be named, so many people have to give these streets and alleys all kinds of names. This brocade guard is a famous place, and the people on the street in front of the door are called brocade streets. Since prisoners are brought in all day long, or some people are pulled directly from here to the execution ground, many people take a detour to this murderous place. Even if they have to pass through here, they often bow their heads and walk quickly, lest they be targeted by the people inside. At this time, I saw that a big living person was released from inside, and there were people outside the door to greet him, but many passers-by looked at them curiously.

Those passers-by looked at Zhang Yue and didn't care, however, when he saw Du Zhen just getting into the carriage, he couldn't help but be stunned. Although he didn't have to burst into tears and emotion when he got out of prison, his teacher's performance was a little too calm, and he didn't look like he was out of prison, but he was full of food from some restaurant and was ready to go home. Although he really felt incredible in his heart, after he came back to his senses, he still followed Du Zhen to get into the car with a touch of the cat's waist in his robe, and told the coachman to go straight to Du's mansion.

Zhang Yue only felt that there were a thousand words when he was on the road before, but now he was sitting in the car with Du Zhen, but he didn't know what to say. Is it to ask Du Zhen how he is doing in prison? Is it talking about the situation on the outside today? Or tell this teacher that the two families are already talking about marriage now? After thinking about it, he hadn't figured out how to speak on his side, but Du Zhen on the other side took the lead in speaking.

"What's the situation in Qingzhou?"

No matter what Zhang Yue thought, he didn't expect that Du Zhen would ask this straightforwardly as soon as he opened his mouth without asking his family or asking anything else. After thinking about it for a while, he chose 1510 to tell the truth, and there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing. When he said that he had been sent to supervise and behead the more than 400 White Lotus Sect bandits, Du Zhen's face did not move at all; When he said that more than 400 heads fell to the ground and he became notorious, Du Zhen was still unmoved; It wasn't until he mentioned that he was attacked on the way back that he saw Du Zhen frown.

"Even the firecracker was used!"

After saying such a big deal and only getting this sentence of emotion, Zhang Yue was immediately angry, and immediately asked unwillingly: "Why didn't Mr. ask how the master and sister at home are?" ”

"I'm out, I can see with my own eyes whether it's good or not, why bother asking you this on the road? Your wife and I have been married for 20 years, but we have been separated for more than 10 years, although she looks kind, she is an extremely responsible person, and she is still in order when she wants to come to the house. Besides, Wan'er is also a smart person, and she will definitely not make a big mess because of this, I am very relieved. ”

Du Zhen saw that Zhang Yue had an incredible expression, but the next moment he changed his words and said, "Although your eldest uncle was also a scribe from Jiangmen back then, and he used to be Xie Yuan, but after all, he was not from a Jinshi, and he has never written a wonderful essay like you. The emperor specially sent you to kill people and see blood, precisely because of your special identity. You are still young, it is impossible for the emperor to use it suddenly, I am afraid that he will leave you to the imperial grandson, there should be a lot of this kind of tempering in the future, and you must not be sluggish and arrogant because of this. After all, the emperor's temper is by no means easy to figure out. ”

Hearing this reminder and admonition, Zhang Yue hurriedly nodded and said, "Sir, don't worry, I understand." ”

Along the way, the teacher and student said countless words, but the situation was completely reversed. It seems that Zhang Yuecai was released from prison after being imprisoned for several months, but Du Zhen was observing the movements of the DPRK and China for a long time, and he only nodded and listened to the training after holding back countless words to say. When he stopped the car in front of Du's mansion, he helped Du Zhen get out of the car and handed the person to Yue Shan, who was so excited that he couldn't even speak, that he breathed a sigh of relief, and was ready to leave.

"Yuan Festival, since it's here, it's better to have lunch at home before leaving."

"Master, it's better to let Zhang Gongzi go back, it's not appropriate for him to stay at this time."

Du Zhen saw Zhang Yue smile embarrassedly, reflexively and deeply, and then got into the carriage and left quickly, and was suddenly a little puzzled. Turning his head to see Yue Shan standing there smiling extremely weirdly, he suddenly shouted angrily: "What kind of dumb riddle is this?" ”

At this time, several other subordinates in the courtyard gathered around, and Yue Shan, who was the oldest, even narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Master Haojiao learned that in the future, you and Zhang Gongzi's teachers and students will become Weng sons-in-law, the two Geng posts have been combined, and even the auspicious day of the zodiac has been set, and then I will wait for you to come back to the engagement book, Zhang Gongzi naturally wants to avoid suspicion." Mrs. heard yesterday that you came out today, and she was going to send the young lady to pick you up, but she dispelled her mind when she learned that Zhang Gongzi came forward. ”

Teachers and students become sons-in-law? Rao is Du Zhen always knew that Qiu had such thoughts, but he was still stunned at this time, and he actually felt like he was in a dream. After a few subordinates said something about Daoxi, he left them and strode inside, with mixed feelings in his heart.

His daughter is getting married, and the girl who was born crying and making trouble, but when she grows up, she is slim and knowledgeable, is now going to get married? Married to the little guy who said to himself that "the people can make it impossible to know" has multiple solutions, and then brought a lot of trouble and joy to himself? Before you know it, they've all grown up......

Yue Shan on the side was surprised to see that his own man, who had never been smiling, even if he praised people, was at most a man with a slight pick at the corner of his mouth, and he was actually smiling at this time, and the smile was getting deeper and deeper, as if there was a tendency to laugh. He is an old family member of the Du family who has served for decades, and at this time he rubbed his eyes with his hand in an extremely unbelievable way, and when he thought that he was dazzled, he saw that Du Zhen had already crossed the threshold and entered the door, and a hearty laugh floated in with the wind.

Zhang Yue naturally didn't know that his future father-in-law would react like that after learning about the marriage, he really wanted to accompany Du Zhen in, and by the way, he had a meal at the teacher's house, but now when the two families were getting married, he had to avoid suspicion a little. Although Du Zhen is only released now, there is no other way to do it - I don't know whether to degrade the distance, or to the common people, or to idle - but this is better than counting bricks in the Jinyiwei prison. Therefore, when the carriage stopped in front of Zhang's mansion and he jumped off, he only felt as light as a swallow and full of ease.

"Young Master Yue!"

Hearing this call, Zhang Yue suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head to look and found that a group of people on the other side of the road had stopped, and the person led by him rolled the saddle and dismounted and walked forward quickly, and it was Rong Shan, the foreign housekeeper of the British Mansion. Because he had been cared for a lot by the other party before, he hurriedly took a few steps forward, and just held his arm when the other party was about to bow down.

"Why is Steward Rong here?"

Since Zhang Yue stretched out his hand to help, Rong Shan no longer insisted on saluting pretentiously, straightened his waist and said with a smile: "Naturally, the old lady sent someone to the British Mansion to borrow a few people from Madame to help." At the beginning of next month, it will be the young master's marriage, and then the next month will be the marriage of the young master, and then there will be Miss Yi. In addition to a few of our good needlework, we also have to go to the outside embroidery village to find the best embroidery girl and tailor, and this side of the house is naturally busy. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yue raised his eyebrows, and then remembered that the marriage between Zhang Qi and Zhang Yi had already been decided, and now he was married, young and orderly, and in just half a year, he had to do three happy events like flowing water. The family is still busy, and the cost of money is also huge. The money and grain on those granges are used to meet the expenses of the year, and these three additional expenses may not only have to be paid by the public, but also have to pay for some expenses by each house.

As he expected, Dongfang was taking two henchmen in the account room to watch the housekeeper's daughter-in-law make the abacus, and when she heard the huge amount of expenditure, she couldn't help but gasp. When Zhang Chao got married, although there was a grange that the old lady later shared, she put in 3,000 taels of private room by herself, plus 2,000 taels in the public middle school, so she was able to do it beautifully. Now that Zhang Qi is here, she has to advance two or three thousand taels, even if she is limited in marrying a concubine, it is inevitable to make up for one thousand.

God kills, relying on those treasure money from her husband, won't the family starve to death?

Angry, she thought that Zhang Yue's marriage this time was also a rule, and she immediately laughed maliciously. Everyone has selfish intentions, and the old lady usually helps Zhang Yue, but at this juncture, she may not be willing to use a private house to fill in the grandson who is not a close parent, after all, there will be a long house chief grandson Zhang Zhen in the future. The long house is defeated, and if you don't leave more money, you can't tell what will happen in the future. According to the three-room family background, it will be even more difficult for the marriage to be decently handled at that time!

It's just that she has been pressed on weekdays, but this time for marriage, she will definitely let her son's scenery overwhelm Zhang Yue!
