Chapter 797: My father said he wasn't there
It was nearly dusk.
Wu Zheng jumped off his horse and threw the reins to the reins behind him.
Came to a small courtyard with blue tiles and gray walls.
The crack in the door that could almost reach into the little thumb made Wu Zheng couldn't help but shake his head.
This gate ...... There was no decoration except for two faded red lanterns under the eaves.
He's x, this is also the mansion of the dignified envoy?
After knocking on the mottled knocker on the door, a soft female voice inside the door answered, "Coming...... Here it comes. ”
Immediately, the door was opened, and a plain woman's face was revealed, "If you have any official business, please go to the General's Mansion...... Belch. ”
Dong recognized Wu Zheng, quickly opened the door, and said, "It's actually the prince who is here...... ”
Wu Zheng stretched out his hand and said, "Sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite. ”
At this time, Wu Zheng found out that this envoy's wife was wearing an apron, obviously cooking dinner.
Wu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "According to the dignified envoy's mansion, there is no gatehouse, and even the dinner is made by my sister-in-law. ”
Dong smiled and said: "As long as the prince and the husband are all the same, what the world says, why should they care?" ”
Wu Zheng smiled and said, "It seems that my sister-in-law knows." ”
Dong nodded and said, "The concubine can see it, since the husband came back, he locked himself in the study, and he hasn't even eaten lunch until now." ”
Wu Zheng laughed and said, "This seems to be something that Zhang Cangshui can do...... My sister-in-law is blaming me. ”
"Not to blame." Dong shook his head and said, "Although the concubine doesn't know what happened, with the character of the prince, I'm afraid that the husband must be stubborn." ”
Wu Zheng smiled happily, "Sure enough, my sister-in-law knows me, this Cangshui is a donkey." ”
At this time, a child's voice came, "My father is a good man." ”
Wu Zheng looked around the Dong family and saw that it was Zhang Huangyan's son Zhang Wanqi.
Dong's face sank and said, "Qi'er can't be rude!" He still did not bow to the prince. ”
"The student has seen the prince." Zhang Wanqi said respectfully, looking like a decent little adult.
Wu Zheng took a step across, stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Wanqi's neck and said, "Boy, call Godfather." ”
"Godfather."
Wu Zhengle replied: "Good boy! …… Your father is a good person, but your godfather is not a good person? ”
Zhang Wanqi raised his head and said, "Godfather and Dad are both good people. ”
Wu Zheng Dale.
Dong smiled, looked at Wu Zheng and Zhang Wanqi, and said, "The concubine went to tell her husband and let him come to greet the prince." ”
Without waiting for Wu Zheng to answer, Zhang Wanqi said, "I'll tell my father." ”
After saying that, he ran back.
Looking at the child's back, Wu Zheng said: "Qi'er has the style of a father, and he will definitely be able to become a tool when he grows up." ”
Speaking of this, Wu Zheng took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and stuffed it into Dong's hand.
Dong hurriedly excused himself and said, "Lord Wang, the concubine is broken, and I don't dare to accept it." Over the years, the prince has received help from time to time, and the silver is still there. The husband has a fortune, and the concubine does not dare to use the prince's silver on weekdays, for fear of being known by the husband. ”
Wu Zheng looked at the few inconspicuous patches on Dong's clothes, and sighed: "The province is not such a provincial law, look at Qi'er's clothes, there are no new winter clothes this year, right?" When I go back, I'll ask Simin to bring me clothes. Sister-in-law too, Qi'er is growing her body, how can she be bitter to the child? ”
Dong's face blushed slightly and said, "Husband is such a person...... But it's not bitter in eating, it's just that the clothes are not bright. The husband said to Qi'er that it is meaningless to wear anything, the key is to have the right experience. ”
Wu Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart, and forced the silver ticket into Dong's hand, and said: "Anyway, I am also Qi'er's godfather, this is for the child, and it is the godfather's intention." Don't take it anymore...... I'm so angry! ”
Dong no longer refused, "The concubine has something in her heart...... I want to hear what the prince means. ”
Wu Zheng said: "Sister-in-law, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"I heard that the prince intends to move the General's Mansion to Xincheng, and the concubine wants to ...... Buying a homestead in the new city, seeing that Qi'er is getting older day by day, he has to buy a yard, the housing prices in Hangzhou are too high, and a small courtyard like this costs five or six hundred taels, but in the new city, officials can have cheap homestead land to buy, and the concubine thinks about it...... However, please rest assured that the Zhang family's homestead will never exceed the upper limit of three acres. ”
Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law thinks about it, I also mentioned this matter to Brother Xuan...... Is it enough money to buy a house? If it's not enough, I'll send someone to bring it again. ”
"Enough, enough. The silver that the prince has sent over the years has been saved. ”
"That's good. Sister-in-law don't worry, this cheap homestead is the welfare of the officials of the six governments, as an official, there must be something to be gained, and there is no fish when the water is clear, rather than letting them be exploited from the people, it is better to meet their basic ......needs within a controllable range. ”
Dong smiled and said, "The prince is right. No one is perfect, as long as they can do things with all their heart, they are better than anything else...... It's not like my husband, I think that all the officials in the world can be like him, all of them give up their families and careers, and be loyal to the country, but if they really want to be like him, this world may not be able to be peaceful...... ”
Wu Zheng was a little surprised, Dong's opinion seemed paranoid, but it was implicitly philosophical.
It's just that at this time, Zhang Wanqi hurriedly came.
He winked at Wu Zheng, bowed down and said, "Back to the prince, my father said that he is not here, please go back to the palace to ......." ”
Wu Zheng and Dong were amused.
Dong said: "The prince forgives the sin...... Wait for the concubine to summon him. ”
Wu Zheng stopped: "Don't bother your sister-in-law." Qi'er, take your godfather. ”
Dong hesitated for a moment, then smiled, nodded and said, "It's okay, then please forgive the concubine for being inconsiderate...... The concubine went to prepare some wine and food, if the prince didn't dislike it, please stay for a while. ”
Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'm also worried about my sister-in-law's craftsmanship." ”
……。
Wu Zheng followed Zhang Wanqi to Zhang Huangyan's study.
Zhang Wanqi led the way in front, and when he arrived at the door, he just shouted "Dad...... ”
I heard a muffled voice from inside, "It's all said, just say I'm not there!" ”
Wu Zheng smiled, pushed open the door, and said, "Okay, your Zhang Cangshui, is this really going to cut off my robe?" ”
Zhang Huangyan, who was originally writing on the table, was stunned when he heard this, Huo Di got up, but sat back again.
"The prince came uninvited, do you want to be a villain?"
Zhang Wanqi brought a cup of tea for Wu Zheng.
Zhang Huangyan glared at his son and shouted, "Get out quickly!" ”
Zhang Wanqi hurriedly shrunk his neck, saluted Wu Zheng, and was about to turn around and go out.
Wu Zheng was not happy, so he grabbed Zhang Wanqi and said, "Listen to my godfather, stay...... Well, go sit on the side and listen to your godfather and your father. ”
Zhang Huangyan glanced at Wu Zheng, but he no longer insisted.
