The coachman is a middle-aged man about forty years old, looking extremely honest and honest, wearing a dress of decent material, and his face is a little rough by the wind because he has been driving the car all year round. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Don't look at this coachman on the surface is ordinary, but in fact he is also an extremely skilled master.

He came all the way to the gate of the Zhou Mansion.

It was now afternoon, and in addition to an elderly porter outside the gate of the Zhou Mansion, there were also a few small servants who looked extremely clever.

Seeing the coachman coming, several servants looked him up and down, and one of them said, "Which house are you from...... Coachman?"

I have to say that these little guys usually welcome the ones they are sent to, and their eyesight is really good.

The coachman was revealed, but he was not surprised, he only nodded, and asked the little guys: "Hello little brothers, I am in front of Lord Zhang, a member of the Ministry of Officials, my family wants to come to visit Lord Zhou, I don't know if Lord Zhou can go back to the house now?"

The little guys thought for a moment when they heard this.

Because Zhou Jinzhi is now in the ministry, of course, these people have done some work on the situation of the ministry, and confirmed that there is indeed a foreigner surnamed Zhang in the ministry, and the vigilance of several small servants has also subsided.

Then, one of them waved his hand at the coachman, "Brother, you better hurry back to your family, our lord is not in the house now, and even if the lord is in the house, he will definitely not see your lord, my lord is not interested in this." ”

The other servants all nodded affirmatively.

Since Zhou Jinzhi arrived at the Ministry of Officials, they don't know how many such people they have seen, and they are naturally extremely comfortable dealing with them.

The coachman then pretended to be disappointed, and then turned and walked away slowly.

After it was determined that the Zhou family was within the line of sight, the coachman quickly returned to the car of the eldest princess of Yongchang and reported the news he had just heard to the eldest princess of Yongchang one by one.

Hearing that Zhou Jinzhi had not yet returned home, the eldest princess of Yongchang also breathed a sigh of relief.

She came here to block Zhou Jinzhi, if Zhou Jinzhi had already returned home at this time, it would be more difficult to see him.

And now, she just has to wait outside.

Little by little, time passed.

When Zhou Jinzhi returned home, it was already a little late, and there were a lot of things to do in the ministry today, because this year happened to be the year of the triennial examination, and now it was already the second half of the year, and the ministry was of course busy.

got out of the carriage and looked at the dim light in the house, looking at it made people feel a kind of warm light waiting for people, and Zhou Jinzhi had a slight smile on his lips.

He guessed that Gu Jinlin and the two children must not have had dinner at this time, and they were waiting for him together.

Thinking of this, he had obviously arrived at the door, but Zhou Jinzhi's heart was looking forward to it.

The coachman took the carriage away, and Zhou Jinzhi was about to go to the house under the smile of the little guys, when he heard a voice next to him.

"Lord Zhou, can you take a step to speak?"

Zhou Jinzhi turned his head to look over, but it was a middle-aged man who looked about forty.

Seeing this person, the little guy who was about to lead Zhou Jinzhi to the house said lightly, seeing that Zhou Jinzhi tilted his head, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes, the little guy explained: "Back to the master, this person has already come once in the afternoon, saying that it is the coachman of the foreign man Zhang Daren's house, and it is Lord Zhang who wants to visit him, so he came to ask if the master is in the house." ”

Zhou Jinzhi then looked back at the coachman.

Although he looked loose and saggy, the coachman was actually light-footed, and it was obvious that he had some skills.

Such a person, of course, will not be under the command of the five-grade outsider of the ministry.

What's more, the outsider of the Ministry of Officials, Lord Zhang, was out of the Ministry of Officials with Zhou Jinzhi today, and the two of them also talked a few words, even so, how could that Lord Zhang make someone come to the Zhou Mansion to inquire if he was there?

So, who ordered this coachman to come?

Zhou Jinzhi pondered here, but the coachman only thought that he was not willing to go with him.

Thinking of the tone of the eldest princess of Yongchang who did not give up when she ordered herself, the coachman frowned slightly, and then walked a few steps closer, almost next to Zhou Jinzhi, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Lord Zhou, don't hide it, it is in the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongchang, the eldest princess is waiting outside now, just waiting for Lord Zhou to go over, I heard that Lord Zhou and Mrs. Zhou have a deep relationship between husband and wife, presumably, Mrs. Fu will not want to ......"

The words are not finished, but the threat in them is extremely obvious.

When Zhou Jinzhi heard this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

He glanced at the coachman deeply, and unconsciously turned his head to look at the extremely extraordinary coachman, and then said lightly: "Since the eldest princess is invited, it is an honor for me." ”

After speaking, he instructed the servant at the door, "You go to the lady and say that I will have a few words with an old man, and I will go back to the house immediately, and let the lady serve the meal." ”

Obviously, Zhou Jinzhi didn't plan to deal with the eldest princess of Yongchang for long.

The coachman is also a subordinate of the eldest princess of Yongchang, hearing Zhou Jinzhi say this, there is a subconscious look of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but the eldest princess of Yongchang must see this Lord Zhou today, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he can't say anything that will annoy Zhou Jinzhi at this time, so he can only stand aside with his eyes down.

After instructing the little servant of the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Jinzhi glanced at the coachman, as if he had never noticed his dissatisfaction, "Then, lead the way." ”

The coachman led Zhou Jinzhi to the car that stopped at the mouth of the alley.

After waiting for a few hours, from afternoon to evening, from full light to when the sky was completely dark, for such a long time, the heart of the eldest princess of Yongchang was getting colder and colder.

She didn't understand why she had to see Zhou Jin before she was willing.

Even, for this purpose, she refused to return to the princess's mansion, delaying the time to receive the order, and I don't know if it will make Emperor Longqing even more disgusted because of this.

But, for the sake of the breath in her heart, she just waited until now.

At this time, it was difficult to wait for Zhou Jinzhi's return, and the eldest princess of Yongchang was also relieved.

She was helped out of the carriage by the palace maid, first looked at Zhou Jinzhi, who was indifferent and did not have any emotion because of seeing her, and then the eldest princess of Yongchang ordered the coachman and the palace maid who served her to retreat into the distance, and then walked a few steps into the dark alley.

At this time, it was already dark, and there was obviously some seclusion in the alley, and the eldest princess of Yongchang only looked at Zhou Jinzhi when she stepped in.

She was waiting for Zhou Jinzhi to come in as well.
