Zhang Weize, who was reprimanded by Dr. Zhang, was aggrieved at first, thinking that his father reprimanded him for a pot of orchids, which was too unkind. But after listening to Dr. Zhang's words, the more he thought about it, the more he felt afraid, and he broke out in a cold sweat, "It almost happened," he couldn't help but rejoice, "If it weren't for my father's reminder, it would have offended both ends, if I really sent the white jade Maitreya Buddha to the Lin family as a birthday gift, it would offend the Lin family and make the emperor dissatisfied, then I would have absolutely no future, fortunately, it was not too late to stop now." Zhang Weize thought of this, and he was very grateful to his father, Doctor Zhang, who scolded him clearly, but the white jade Maitreya Buddha was bought back for eight thousand taels, and the money in his hand was almost spent, and now in this case, his father is not subsidizing himself.

"Go get that pot of orchids back for me!" Seeing that his son understood, Dr. Zhang instructed again.

When Zhang Weize heard his father's order, he suddenly made a bitter face, he still clearly remembered what Lu Mingtao said, he would never accept his return, "Father, this may probably not be exchanged, Lu Gongzi said that once it is sold, it will not be returned." He said with some embarrassment.

"You just tell him that you don't want the money, and ask him to give me back the flowers." Doctor Zhang said strongly. kept slandering Lu Mingtao in his heart, boy, just to prevent the old man from returning the pot of orchids, he wanted to take away the best Xia Hemei for five thousand taels, and he was too greedy.

"Father, this ......" Zhang Weize was a little nervous, this Lu Mingtao's methods in the mall are obvious to all, although he is an official, but he is not a vegetarian. The background is also very deep, and I want to overwhelm people with power. I'm really not that there.

"Forget it, I guess I won't come back." Dr. Zhang knew where the pot of orchids had gone. There must be distress, after all, he hasn't appreciated it enough, it's a pity. I can only be cheeky and ask the bamboo girl for another pot, but I can't let him go so easily. Doctor Zhang no longer embarrassed his second son when he had a plan in his heart, but he was too disappointing to do things, "You have been thinking about it behind closed doors at home from today onwards, and you are not allowed to go anywhere except to go to the yamen." Do you understand? The two Maitreya Buddhas in that pot of orchids can't be replaced, and they all let you waste it. Hum! Out of the clouds. ”

Zhang Weize, who was kicked out, still had the sentence of digestion in his brain. "Two Maitreya Buddhas can't exchange for a pot of orchids", "It's really a loss for the lady and a soldier!" At this time, he couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth, not only could he not realize his wish, but instead smashed a white jade Maitreya Buddha in his hands, no matter who he gave it to, it was not suitable. He secretly hated Lu Mingtao for being too cunning, it turned out that he had long known the value of this pot of orchids but deliberately didn't say it, deceived himself, and said that he was good, it was too hateful. But I didn't think about it. From the moment he took it without telling him, he did it wrong step by step.

But Zhang Weize suddenly thought, who gave his father such a precious orchid? He remembered the incident at the gate that day, and the two people who came to find Steward Zhang seemed to have said that the car was filled with a pot of orchids. I was afraid of upsetting Lu Mingtao at that time, and I sent a subordinate, could it be that pot of orchids? Who is it? And for what purpose did he approach his father? He returned to his compound with doubts.

"How do I raise such a non-stupid person? Why didn't he see that although the Maitreya Buddha of the Muyue Trading House was a strange thing, no one could buy it. It must have been for a big man, so he bought it now. How can you send it out, if you really send it. He sent it over with his front foot, and he returned it to him with his back foot, how could the Lin family provoke this fishy? It's a shame that he has been in the officialdom for so many years. Doctor Zhang looked like he hated iron but not steel, counting his second son, but Steward Zhang on the side did not speak. He knew that the old man was just venting.

"It's still a bamboo girl, you see the things she sent me, all of them are what I like."

"Miss Zhu has always been very filial to you," Steward Zhang followed Dr. Zhang's words, "Master, otherwise write a letter and bring another pot from Miss Zhu." Miss Yizhu's temperament will definitely be sent to you as soon as she receives the letter. Besides, she also mentioned in the letter, there are five orchids in total. ”

"Of course she will send it over, but such a precious orchid, it is already a great fate to get one, and the one from the Muyue Trading House obviously wants to give it to the imperial concubine as a gift, and then I will have another pot of the same orchid here, which is not suitable or inappropriate." Alas, I'll talk about it later. Doctor Zhang sighed. But sir, do you want to say hello to the family about Miss Bamboo? Steward Zhang asked, Zhang Weize will definitely ask who sent the orchid, and he can't hide it when he wants to.

"Let's talk about it then, if he wants to know the way, let him ask me, one by one, let them compare with the bamboo girl, and see if they know the way and be ashamed." Doctor Zhang also felt that it was better not to hide Lin Zhu's affairs, and it was not a shameful thing to recognize a godgranddaughter, but this godgranddaughter never wanted to take advantage of him. I didn't even ask what he was doing. So Dr. Zhang didn't think there was anything wrong with saying it.

Zhang Weize found the family who made a mistake that day, and the family knelt in front of him tremblingly, "You raise your head and talk back, what I ask you you you will say without a trace of concealment, do you know the way?" Zhang Weize said in a deep voice.

"Yes, the minion must be telling the truth." That family was almost expelled from the Zhang family that day, and now he finally has the opportunity to show one in front of the master, where do you dare not tell the truth. So Zhang Weize asked about the scene when Wang Shudun's father and son came over that day, and the family also answered carefully and seriously.

After asking, Zhang Weize realized that someone in Linjia Village sent something to his father, and it was received in the name of Steward Zhang, and the precious orchid was also sent by someone in Linjia Village, so who is it? What does it have to do with Dr. Zhang? After thinking about it, there was no result. I wanted to ask Steward Zhang, but Steward Zhang has always been my father's person, and I am more respectful to them, and the others only act according to what my father says.

But he was the one who knew what had happened best, and when there was nothing he could do, Zhang Weize still called Steward Zhang to his study to inquire. "Steward Zhang, it's really hard for my father to take care of you every day."

"This is the duty of a slave, and the second master should not be praised like this." Steward Zhang replied respectfully.

"This is not a compliment, Steward Zhang has been with his father all the time to take good care of him, but there is one thing, I want to ask Steward Zhang." Zhang Weize picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, but his eyes never left Steward Zhang's face, and he kept observing his expression.

"I don't know what the second master wants to know?" Steward Zhang didn't give him a clear explanation, and he had to answer something.

"Did my father know anyone in Linjia Village?" After putting down the teacup, Zhang Weize stroked a string of Buddhist beads on his right wrist with his left hand, and asked as if he didn't care. "Back to the second master, the master recognized a godgranddaughter there, and it was this Miss Zhu who sent someone to send something over a few days ago." Steward Zhang hinted at who the pot of orchids came from.

Hearing this, Zhang Weize was a little undecided, what was the origin of the person who was the best orchid worth 10,000 taels as soon as he made a move, and if it was a nobleman, would he cause anything? "Then which lady is this bamboo lady, and how did she meet her father in that rural place?"

So Steward Zhang picked up everything he could say and told Zhang Weize, including Lin Zhu's identity as an orphan girl and the adoption of an abandoned baby, but the fact that she produced the best watermelon and the best white rice in the field was also revealed.

Listening to Steward Zhang's words, Zhang Weize's face was gloomy and scary, his father was actually angry with him for the things sent by such a person, although it was for his good, but it made him embarrassed at home, the family should know about his troubles, the eldest brother and sister-in-law may not know how to laugh at him, if there is no orchid sent by Lin Zhu, all this thing would not have happened. He put all his grievances on Lin Zhu.

"Isn't it a little rash for my father to do this, if it's just a verbal talk, if you let those rough people in the countryside take it seriously, and then find this place, won't our Zhang family become the laughing stock of the capital?" Zhang Weize said in a bad tone, "Steward Zhang, how do you take care of your father?" actually let the country girl disturb her father's tranquility! ”

Steward Zhang suddenly turned his face when he saw him, but he didn't panic, looked at him calmly, and said slowly, "This is the master's decision, and the slave just obeys orders." ”

Zhang Weize wanted to find someone to vent his anger at Dr. Zhang's old doctor, but he was blocked by Steward Zhang's words, so that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and he was really uncomfortable, and his chest fell together, but he couldn't take Steward Zhang, after all, he was a powerful person from his father, and he didn't look at the monk to see the Buddha's face. I can only let him go. "Well, I'll talk to my father about this matter, and settle the matter before the country girl finds it. Go down. ”

Steward Zhang took a deep look at Zhang Weize, who didn't know what to think when he lowered his head, and withdrew without saying a word. Just as he wanted to close the door, a voice suddenly came from inside, "If Steward Zhang doesn't want to see our father and son fall apart, don't get involved in this matter." ”

"Yes." Steward Zhang replied after thinking about it, and turned to leave.

Zhang Weize sat in the study for a while, and after his emotions calmed down, he went to the East Courtyard to find his eldest brother Zhang Yuze.

Zhang Yuze is in the prime of life at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, because of his cautious personality and steady work, he has done a good job in Tai Hospital, and many people have been helping him in the face of Dr. Zhang, so he is more and more valued. It also has a certain status in Tai Hospital.
