Coming out of Deyue Tower, Zhang Jixian was very angry, and said in his heart, he spent four or five taels of silver on himself, and he didn't eat well, so he sulked, and he had to find a place to relieve himself. Unconsciously, he habitually walked to the garden alley of Jinxiulan, and saw the lanterns at the door, and five gilded characters on the lintel, which read: Qin Ci Jinxiulan. He only thought that the original Jinxiulan was no longer yesterday's Jinxiulan, and Ai Gongzi was no longer yesterday's Ai Gongzi. In this way, he turned around again and slowly walked out of the alley.

I don't want to, I saw Gongzi driving the second guard at the mouth of the alley, he saw Zhang Jixian, and hurriedly dismounted and said, "Why is Zhang Yushi here?" I haven't come to Jinxiulan for a long time, and my feelings are disgusted with my family? ”

Zhang Jixian hurriedly said: "Why does Jixian dislike it? It's just that I heard that your mansion is promoted, and Jixian's identity is not enough, so it is difficult to come and go as freely as in the past. ”

Dark Xiang smiled: "Yushi's words are not right, my family is still the same as in the past, and it has never changed, how can there be a distinction between high and low?" Yushi was overwhelmed. Come, come with me into my house. The day before yesterday, my family was still talking about the imperial history, and I was afraid that the imperial history would be tired, so I didn't dare to invite the imperial history into the mansion. ”

Dark Fragrance took Zhang Jixian back to Jinxiulan, and the little guy at the door saw Dark Fragrance, and hurriedly said, "Second Master is good!" ”

Dark Xiang nodded, entered the courtyard with Zhang Jixian, saw the chief manager in the courtyard, and told him to ask Gege, and said that Zhang Yushi had arrived. Degui was busy, and Dark Xiang led Zhang Jixian into the study on the east side of the front yard. It's always been a place of hospitality. The little guy served tea, and the two chatted a few gossips.

After a while, Qing Gege still came in disguised as a child. Met Zhang Yushi. said: "Zhang Yushi hasn't been here for a long time, do you dare to be entangled in official business recently?" ”

Zhang Jixian got up and said, "At this time, I don't know what to call Ruoqing." I heard that the emperor has just named Ruoqing as Qing Gege. I'm a little man, but I can't bother anymore. ”

Gege said: "What about Zhang Yushi? Ruoqing is still yesterday's Ruoqing, how can there be a distinction between the old and the new? Zhang Yushi is out of sight. And call me Ruoqing. ”

Zhang Jixian replied: "Jixian dares to disobey orders!" ”

Gege instructed Dark Xiang to prepare a table of noodles and prepare more goose meat. Zhang Yushi will not come for a few months, so he must be delicate and delicious. Dark incense promised yes and went to the kitchen to arrange it. After a while, a table of wine and food was ready to stop, and the servant brought in. Zhang Jixian saw the steamed goose paws, fried goose belly, and stewed goose soup, and his saliva was about to flow out, and he said to his son: "Jixian is rude." "Say it. I ate it first. Childe only picks some vegetables and eats them slowly.

After a feast of incense, Zhang Jixian burped, rubbed his stomach and said: "Only when you arrive here is Ruoqing, Jixian's belly can be considered full." ”

Gege said: "Then the imperial history will come more, not to mention the rest, a meal is still manageable." Seeing that he stopped, Gongzi asked again: "When Ruoqing was in Henan Mansion, I found some Xinyang Maojian and asked the tea maid to make some." How does Zhang Yushi taste it? ”

Zhang Yushi said: "The things that Ruoqing brought must be good. ”

Gege clapped his hands, and the little guy heard the voice come in through the door. Childe instructed: "Remove the table and let the tea maid make the tip of the hair brought by the day before yesterday." ”

The little guy agreed and bowed out. While waiting for tea, Zhang Jixian opened his mouth and scolded: "Ruoqing is not an outsider. At this time, Jixian wants to curse. ”

Gege asked, "Why is Zhang Yushi annoyed?" If you don't dislike Ruoqing, you can talk about it. If there's anything unpleasant, Ruoqing may be able to help. ”

Zhang Jixian spread his legs. Resentful: "Don't say anything else, only my boss is really hateful." That day. The emperor reprimanded us for the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which has been doing nothing recently, has no political achievements, and is deceived and deceived by officials below. I don't know where the emperor got this news, but the emperor asked, and there must be a reason. I had many disagreements with my boss, but my boss suspected that I was secretly making trouble and reported to the higher authorities. On the second day, my boss said that the latrine in the Metropolitan Procuratorate was not clean and clean, and asked the officials to take turns cleaning it. This first wheel is Jixian, and it's still two months. Jixian cleaned the latrine for two months, and by the third month, he was silent again. This is not tossing Jixian, it is clearly a personal vendetta of the communiqué. ”

The tea maid came in with a tea tray, and Zhang Jixian stopped first. The tea maid put the tea tray away, poured a cup for Gongzi, and poured another cup for Zhang Jixian, and then bowed out with the tea tray again. Zhang Jixian was anxious, and he didn't wait for the tea to be cold, so he took a sip and scalded it so hot that he only stuck out his tongue. Seeing this, Childe said, "Zhang Yushi, drink it slowly, be careful of it." ”

Zhang Jixian smiled and said: "Ruoqing is slow again, seeing that Jixian is already hot, what are you still talking about?" Anyway, my tongue is already numb, so just drink it hot. As he spoke, he blew on the mouth of the teacup, and drank another big sip.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Zhang Jixian said again: "It's okay not to say it, but it's more hateful to say it." In the past, Jixian didn't take it to heart, didn't he clean the toilet for two months, Jixian has the strength, afraid of this? But at the beginning of this month, the old lady in Jixian's family was seriously ill, and the sister-in-law sent a letter saying that my mother was seriously ill and asked me to go home quickly to serve the old lady. Jixian borrowed a few taels of silver and invited him to Deyue Tower for a big meal, just for begging. He also promised at the time: "Say that there is nothing to do, who is not raised by biological parents, and who has no wife?" Jixian, you just have to go, I'll bear it here. "At that time, I was still grateful to him and thought that he was good. When I came back yesterday, I went back to the government to cancel the leave, only to find out that this month's money had been deducted. Listen, is he still human? If he doesn't allow me to leave, I will find another way, this side will approve my leave, and the other side will deduct my silver, if Qing has seen such a villain? ”

The more Zhang Jixian spoke, the more angry he became, and he almost opened his mouth to scold again. Gongzi opened his words and persuaded: "Zhang Yushi, why bother with this kind of person, let them do things, it's not worth it to spoil your mood?" However, then again, who is Zhang Yushi's boss? ”

Zhang Jixian said: "Is it Wu Fengyi, the imperial history of the Imperial Palace?" ”

Gongzi exclaimed: "But Yongzheng Dynasty, Wu Fengyi, who is known as "Wu Scorpion"? ”

Zhang Jixian asked in surprise, "How did Ruoqing know about him?" ”

Gege was silent. After a long time, he was forced to ask by Zhang Jixian, so he said: "Does Zhang Yushi know Ruoqing's identity?" ”

Zhang Jixian nodded and said: "As soon as Jixian returned to Beijing, I heard that it was the number one news in Beijing. ”

Gege said: "Now, Ruoqing doesn't hide from Zhang Yushi. Back then, Ruoqing's father, the eighth prince, was a light weight in Beijing, and there were many famous and handsome men under him. Wu Scorpion was promoted by Ruoqing's father from the pen post style, and his father was kind to Wu Scorpion. Later, he heard from the mouth of the eunuchs in the palace that Emperor Kangxi's grandfather intended to set up the fourth son of the emperor, so he hurriedly saw the wind and turned to the fourth son, who was later Emperor Yongzheng. After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, Wu Scorpion was the first to figure out the emperor's thoughts, and the emperor secretly said that my father had the intention to rebel and catch the wind and shadows, so as to win the favor of the Yongzheng emperor and take the opportunity to ascend the throne. Wu Scorpion is still close to my father on the surface, and my father treats him as a confidant, but he doesn't think that it is this henchman who falsely accuses him in the end. ”

Zhang Jixian sighed and said, "I really didn't know that Wu Scorpion was such a villain. I said straight that he was cautious, there was no fault in it, and he didn't expect to be such a gloomy owl. ”

Gege said: "This kind of official, who is dedicated to selfishness, how can he serve the public? ”

Zhang Jixian replied: "Jixian also wanted to find evidence of his bad official style, so that he could play the emperor, but Wu Scorpion is cautious and suspicious by nature, so it is difficult to find his handle." ”

Gege pondered for a moment and said, "It's not impossible to bring him down. He is suspicious, but we can do what we want. ”

Zhang Jixian asked: "If you say it quickly, how can you calculate it?" ”

Gege whispered something, and Zhang Jixian nodded as he listened. Before he finished speaking, Zhang Jixian laughed first. After that, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Thank you Ruoqing, Jixian will go and arrange it." ”

Gege also got up and said, "Why is Zhang Yushi in a hurry? What we have is time. ”

Zhang Jixian was anxious, saying that the wind is the rain, and at this time, he was thinking about designing, and he didn't delay for a moment, and after saying goodbye to Gege, he hurried away.

However, he said that on this day, Qianlong consulted the ministers in the court, and wanted to let the governors of the three grades and above in Beijing and the provinces to sponsor the erudite and scholarly subjects. For this reason, Qianlong asked the ministers for their opinions, and each of them came to an excerpt.

After retreating from the court, Wu Scorpion didn't know what the emperor meant, and he didn't dare to rashly fold it, but he pulled Zhang Jixian and asked: "Jixian, do you understand what the emperor means?" ”

Zhang Jixian nodded and replied, "Understood." ”

Wu Scorpion asked again, "What do you mean?" How to prepare for the excerpt? ”

Zhang Jixian smiled and said: "How can you say anything about the excerpt casually." Jixian wants to go home and think about it. ”

Wu Scorpion hurriedly said: "Jixian's home is in Sanjiaxiang Hutong? ”

Zhang Jixian nodded yes. Wu Scorpion covered his right foot and said, "Oh, it's really unfortunate, my foot hurts again." Sanjiaxiang is closer than my mansion, how about I go to Jixian's house to rest first? ”

Zhang Jixian didn't refuse, and said heartily: "If the adults want to go to my house, that's the best." Although the adults deducted my money for this month, Jixian still had some savings. How about I spend a few taels of silver, so why don't I invite an adult to sit at home? We ate and talked. ”

At the beginning, Wu Scorpion didn't expect Zhang Jixian to agree so happily, and he had some doubts in his heart, and said in his heart, when did he become so kind, and his feelings were tricky? When he was groaning, Zhang Jixian said: "If the adults are busy, forget it, Jixian will go home and write excerpts first." I have to hand it over to the emperor early tomorrow morning. With that, he turned around and left. When Wu Scorpion saw it, he hurriedly stopped Zhang Jixian and said, "What did Jixian say?" I'll go with you, and I'll ask you to spend money, and I'm very sorry not to go. ”

Zhang Jixian smiled and said: "Don't pretend, adults, why don't you want to live?" ”

Listening to Zhang Jixian's sarcasm, Wu Scorpion just smiled and didn't say anything, and the two went out of the palace side by side. Zhang Jixian no longer has a carriage or horse, and in order to go home with Zhang Jixian, Wu Scorpion has to lead the horse on foot. (To be continued......)
