After getting into the car, Hongcui didn't know where Gege was going. As Gege's side guards, only Dark Fragrance and Drunken Spring followed this time. Dark Xiang was born with a well-behaved nature, Gege doesn't command, he never asks more. It wasn't until he got out of Huayuanzi Hutong that Gege lifted the curtain and said softly: "Go to Zhang Yushi's house in Sanjia Lane." Only then did everyone understand that this was going to Zhang Yushi's house.

Speaking of which, at this time, Zhang Yushi had been promoted to the left deputy capital of the Imperial Palace. After Wu Scorpion was killed for madness, Zhang Jixian took his place and was promoted to the rank of Zhengsanpin. Later, because of the 650,000 official silver incident, Gege went to Henan with dark incense, and the two did not see each other again during these times.

It is said that Zhang Jixian has become a member of Sanpin, so naturally there is no need to live in Sanjia Lane, after all, the courtyard of Sanjia Lane is simple, not like the mansion of a big official. But Zhang Jixian is still Zhang Jixian, no matter what anyone says, he still lives in Sanjiaxiang, living a simple life without servants and no followers.

Even so, the car had to stop after reaching the intersection of Sanjiaxiang because the road in front was blocked and it was impossible to cross. Dark Xiang said to Gege in the car: "Gege, the road is narrow, there are many cars parked in front, and our car can't pass." ”

Hongcui lifted the curtain and looked, sure enough, the traffic in front was very lively. Not to mention cars, even people have to turn sideways to squeeze through. Hongcui said, "What is this for? Feelings: Who marries a daughter-in-law to do a happy event? ”

Gege said, "Anyway, let's get out of the car and have a look." ”

Hongcui got out of the car first, and then helped Gege to get out of the car slowly. Zuichun led the way in front, Hongcui accompanied Gege, but Dark Xiang followed behind. Four people squeezed past the side of the road next to each other. Gege had the heart to look at these cars parked on the side of the road, most of them were official sedans. Xindao, there are no other members in Sanjiaxiang. Could it be that Zhang Yushi has also started to visit customers?

After walking more than a mile, I saw Zhang Jixian's home. Gege guessed right. These cars really arrived at Zhang Jixian's house. I saw that there were still a few small people at the door, shouting at the door: "Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang, my lord asks to see, please open the door!" ”

The door of Zhang Jixian's house was closed, and there was no sound inside, like a dead house. Zuichun looked at it in front of him and asked Gege, "Gege, do you think this is the case?" Feelings Master Zhang is not at home? ”

Gegesun said: "Where is something not at home. Presumably to avoid debts? ”

Hongcui was surprised: "Hiding from debts? He owes so much money? This person is not crazy, the bigger the official, the bigger the shelf. ”

Dark Xiang already knew the meaning of Gege's words, and she didn't explain it, so she shouted outside the courtyard: "Lord Zhang, Jinxiu Lanqing Gege is here." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhang Jixian climbing up the wall, stuffing cotton in his ears, and bowing highly: "You are polite." Shu Jixian can't go out to greet him! ”

Gege said: "What should I do if Lord Zhang said? ”

Zhang Jixian waved his hand at Dark Xiang and said, "Dark Fragrance, I will tell you how to go when you come up?" ”

A harrier rolled over and jumped onto the wall. Zhang Jixian approached him and whispered. The people below couldn't hear what they were saying. I saw Dark Fragrance nodding frequently. After a while, the dark incense came down, and I asked Gege to start and say goodbye. Gege didn't know what was going on in the dark incense. But I know that it is always impossible to follow the dark incense, so. followed the dark incense and left Zhang Jixian's main entrance.

Dark incense led Gege out of Sanjia Lane. After turning around, I went back from Dongchang Hutong, but I came to a small door. Dark Xiang stepped forward and was about to knock on the door, when she saw the door squeak open, and it was Zhang Jixian who came out. It turned out that he had come to the courtyard through the wall of the courtyard and through the back door of the neighbor's house. This courtyard was originally the courtyard of his colleague Lan Jianzhang. At this time, he used his house to make a good talk.

Zhang Jixian opened the door and said: "Gege, don't laugh at Jixian, I'm really embarrassed." ”

Gege said: "Today's step-sage is not yesterday's step-sage!" Ruoqing congratulates Master Zhang! ”

Zhang Jixian hurriedly snorted and said, "Gege wants to say that again, but what about slapping Jixian in the face?" What kind of adult is not good, Gege is deliberately shabby Jixian? ”

Gege just said: "I only heard that the door is open to welcome guests, and I have never seen anyone who closes the door to greet customers, and this play played by Jixian is really rare." ”

Zhang Jixian said: "Jixian is not acting, he is really forced to do nothing. What kind of person Jixian is, Gege naturally understands. Don't make fun of Jixian at this time, please sit in the room. After speaking, Zhang Jixian introduced the people behind him: "Lan Jianzhang, the host of this courtyard, a jinshi of Qianlong for three years, and Jixian worked in the Metropolitan Inspection Academy. ”

Gege nodded slightly. Zhang Jixian said to Lan Jianzhang: "This is Qing Gege given by the emperor. ”

Lan Jianzhang was busy greeting. He is only about twenty years old, with a pink face and red cheeks, thick eyebrows and big eyes, which looks much more pleasing to the eye than Zhang Jixian.

The two led the way and invited Gege into the hospital. Because you enter the back door, you pass through the backyard first. Walk through the backyard before coming to the front room. Everyone sat down and the servants served tea. Zhang Jixian just said: "I heard that Gege retrieved 600,000 official silver in Mengjin, and the emperor praised it very much. Jixian has always wanted to find an opportunity to go to Jinxiu Lan to chatter, but Gege also saw it, trivial things are troublesome, Jixian can't take a break if he wants to go, and he asks Gege to forgive me. ”

Gege said: "Jixian doesn't need to care, Ruoqing is not such a caring person. Ruoqing came here and asked about other things. ”

Lan Jianzhang heard Zhang Jixian say a lot of things about Gege, and when he saw Gege for the first time, he was determined to get acquainted, and said attentively: "It's not interesting to just drink tea." Jianzhang asked the kitchen to prepare a table of wine and food, and everyone ate and chatted slowly, and also let Jianzhang do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord. ”

Zhang Jixian also said: "That's exactly the case. Jixian has bothered Gege many times, and he has the heart to invite him back, but he is shy in his pocket, this time he borrowed the east of Brother Lan and invited Gege to eat a banquet, which can be regarded as Jixian's mind, and Gege should never push back. After that, he said to Lan Jianzhang: "You go and destroy, there are exquisite and clean ones, hurry up." But there must be goose meat, without goose meat Jixian can't drink wine. ”

Lan Jianzhang got up and said: "Brother Zhang's taste, Brother Lan naturally knows, it's just what Gege likes, and I hope Brother Zhang will give a clear indication." ”

At this point, Gege had no choice but to say: "Ruoqing is not picky, Brother Lan can deal with it at will." ”

Lan Jianzhang got up and went to the kitchen to explain. After a while, the banquet was ready, and it was nothing more than new vegetables and vegetables, which were slightly more exquisite. The wine is the apricot forest spring brought by Lan Jianzhang from his hometown.

Lan Jianzhang first saluted Gege, and Gege said busily: "If Qing is not good at drinking, this cup is still free." ”

Lan Jianzhang said: "Gege can't drink enough, Jianzhang also heard Brother Zhang say that it's just the first glass of meeting wine, and you still have to drink it." After drinking this glass of wine, Jianzhang will never respect it again. ”

Gege had no choice but to take the wine and drink the first glass. Lan Jianzhang and Zhang Jixian had a drink together. After that, putting down the wine glass, Gege asked, "Ruoqing has something to ask here." ”

Zhang Jixian took a piece of goose meat and asked, "Gege, please speak." Jixian knows everything, and everything is said. ”

Gege said: "Today, Ruoqing heard that there are many ministers who breed horses in enclosures, can Brother Zhang know?" ”

Zhang Jixian replied: "It turns out that Gege is here for this matter." This matter Jixian also gave the emperor an excerpt. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, many of the banner people were dissatisfied with the farming customs of the Central Plains, and they still enclosed land for grazing and were used to breeding horses. Later generations of ancestors reprimanded the ministers, so as to stop this trend slightly. Now the emperor will abolish the Mulan autumn hunt to advocate again, the so-called upward and downward effect, the minister thinks that the emperor wants to advocate martial arts, so there are many wide circles, grass planting and grazing. ”

Gege nodded and said, "This unhealthy trend must be stopped in time." After speaking, Gege suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Zhang Shishen, the son of Zhang Guangsi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, has a garden in Xishankou, do you know?" ”

Zhang Jixian shook his head and said I don't know, he really hasn't been to Xishankou. Instead, Lan Jianzhang opened his mouth and said: "Zhang Shishen, Jianzhang knows. When Jianzhang first came to Beijing, he had a drink with him. ”

Gege asked, "Oh? What is this man? ”

Lan Jianzhang didn't know what Gege's question meant, and replied casually: "Jianzhang has only met him once, and he has not been deeply acquainted, so I don't know who he is." ”

Although his answer was not leaky, Gege still sensed his disdain from his eyes, so she first stated her position and said: "I heard that Zhang Shishen relied on the prestige of his father to wantonly occupy people's houses in Xishankou, forcibly buy and sell, and force ordinary people to be displaced, and he was very arrogant. It is said that this kind of unhealthy atmosphere should not be managed, after all, is it the responsibility of your imperial history? After that, Gege didn't look at them, just took chopsticks and ate vegetables.

Gege said it lightly, Zhang Jixian immediately stopped and said angrily: "There is such a thing? I'll definitely visit him tomorrow and play one of his copies. Zhang Guangsi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Jixian have also met before. Relying on Miao Jiang's great victory, he is arrogant, and there are many things that indulge his own soldiers and subordinates to dominate the lawlessness. Gege, you know Gui, right? ”

Gege nodded. She naturally knew that Ah Gui was mostly Ah Gui's strategy when he quelled Zhu Kang's rebellion in Shaanzhou, Henan. Of course, when he was in Jiangning, Ah Gui also came and went to purchase domestic affairs poplin silk, but at that time it was just a general acquaintance. When I really knew Ah Gui in Shaanzhou, he was brave and wise, and he was really the best among the Manchurians.

Zhang Jixian said again: "After Ah Gui came back from Yuncheng, he was changed to a military position by the emperor and worked under Zhang Jixian. When he came back that day, he complained in front of Jixian, saying that the generals under Zhang Guangsi's account were not as good as one of his personal soldiers. A lieutenant like A Gui can be regarded as a second-class general, higher than my official rank, but under Zhang Guangsi's account, he even has to carry a urinal for him. Gege said, "Is this like a word?" Last year, Jixian participated in his book, saying that he was high-flying and domineering, greedy and killed too much, and the battalion officers, thousand generals, and guerrilla generals in his army killed when he said he would. It's not that Jixian is jealous of his excessive military power, but in fact, in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, he is actually the emperor there. ”

Gege listened, but was silent. After a long time, he slowly spoke: "Ruoqing knows, and this matter will be discussed slowly." (To be continued......)
