In Mr. Xiao's place, it's really a good show that can never be watched!

This was Deng Xiaodu's biggest reaction after listening to Song Juren tell the story of the Xinglong Tea House that day. Although he didn't quite know who this young man who rushed up and called Song Tuiguan his brother, why he lived in Zhangyuan, and how he could impress the county lord of Hailing because of his cooking skills, he only knew one thing, anyway, he just watched the excitement himself!

Soon, he saw Ah Liu's familiar figure. Because he grew up in the same village, he hurriedly left the pair of Song brothers who were completely unrelated to each other and stepped forward, and then tried to ask Ah Liu about it.

Not surprisingly, he tasted the treatment of asking three sentences and answering one sentence, not only did he not understand the whole story, but he was even more confused. This state of confusion lasted until he followed Ah Liu to meet Zhang Shou.

The reunion of teachers and students is naturally a special one. And Zhang Shou and Deng Derpy are too familiar, there is no sense of alienation that has not been seen for more than half a year, after a few jokes, he learned that Deng Derpy has experienced so many things as soon as he returned to Beijing, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and immediately introduced the guests at home, as well as the aftermath.

Compared with what Deng Xiaodao heard from the little officials at the door of the General Administration, although what Zhang Shou said was brief, and everything was only mentioned lightly, Deng Xiaodao still knew a lot of things that he didn't know.

After all, a boss like Wang Jie has a great advantage, that is, all the turmoil above is blocked for you, even if the world is turned upside down outside, there is no wave around him. But this has also led to a great disadvantage, that is, Wang Datou thinks that you should not be distracted by doing things, and he will not tell you what you should not know at all!

Especially Deng Xiaoduy's distraction when he does this, others don't tell him, and he doesn't ask, so he doesn't know anything. At this time, listening to Zhang Shouyi, combined with what he learned from the general secretary before, he only had one thought. It doesn't seem like a long time to leave the capital by yourself...... Why is it as if it has not been half a year, but three and a half years?

Seeing that Deng Xiaodao began to be in a daze in front of him, Zhang Shou had to cough and call the person's soul back.

He knew that Deng Xiaodao had clearly realized since he was a child that he was not the material of the imperial examination, and his uncle had been an official for generations, so at a very early age, he went to participate in the Shuntian Mansion official examination because of his careful thinking, so he successfully entered the household, but seeing Qi Liang and others enter the Jiuzhang Hall, his name can even enter the emperor's ears, but such a dull young man is still the same as his original intention.

He asked with a smile: "Derpy, do you feel bitter and tired with a boss like Wang Dayin?" ”

"It's hard and tiring, but it's worth it."

Deng Xiaodao shook his head and said sincerely: "Wang Zongxian is very strict, but he is also a very capable person, as long as he does things seriously, he can be rewarded, and he will never take credit for his achievements, this kind of boss is rare." Those who are afraid of him just feel that they can't be lazy and slippery under him, but even Mr. Xiao's students are very convinced by Wang Zongxian after they go to practice. ”

Can you not be convinced? Ge Yong appreciates Wang Datou's arithmetic skills very much, what are these guys?

Zhang Shouwan smiled, and when he heard Deng Xiaodao talk about the incident in front of the General Political Secretary, he was even more stunned. If the person who recommended his son was really willing to be recommended by Deng Xiaodao to Wang Jie, maybe he would be moved, but since he was afraid of difficulties, there was nothing to say.

And Deng Xiaodao was not wrong, he did plan to recruit students in Jiuzhangtang in the future, no longer just for a lifetime, but to conduct a month of intensive teaching and training, and then throw Wang Jie there, and then he will further screen according to Wang Datou's comments. Of course, Wang Jie will definitely angrily reprimand me that this is not a nursery school, and he still has to sift people before throwing them over.

But in the case of the initial screening, he can be busy alone, and he will have to find other competent and reliable people to help.

For example, Song Tuiguan, who is visiting today, is a person with good arithmetic skills and strong conduct—otherwise, how can he be appreciated by Wang Datou? is Zhang Chen's father, and it is said that he also trusts people very much.

Zhang Shou didn't think about whether Song Tuiguan would be so frightened that he would run away if he knew that he was going to throw off the burden again, and asked Deng Xiaodao why he returned to Beijing this time. Knowing that it was Deng Xiaodao's top boss who asked him to bring it to Song Shu, and by the way, he went home to visit his relatives, and he was thinking that Wang Datou was also considerate, but suddenly found that Deng Xiaotou was a little speechless and stopped.

"Derpy, if you have something to say, you and I are not outsiders, even if you say the wrong thing, I will blame you?"

Although he knew that if he said this, he might make Mr. Xiao look down on him, and maybe he would cause some trouble, but when he heard Zhang Shou's words, Deng Xiaodao thought about it and still mustered up the courage to say: "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Wang's recital this time, he spread it out on the desk directly after he finished writing, and I accidentally saw it when I was ordered to tidy up the study that day." ”

"I know I shouldn't have seen it, but I've seen it all, and I told myself that I shouldn't have seen it, it's nothing, but I ...... But I always felt very unstable in my heart. Today, I finally sent Song Shu to the General Administration Department, and I dare to say it......"

Zhang Shou saw Deng Xiaodu say and stepped forward, knelt in front of him with a plop, and he immediately realized that the matter was probably not small. He immediately got up and dragged the person up, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly." Song Shu was sent to the General Political Department, that is, everyone knows it, if you can keep silent in advance, then you can't talk about being sorry for Wang Zongxian. ”

Deng nodded vigorously, he sniffed slightly, and then opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind.

"Wang Zongxian angrily accused some people in Xuanfu of adopting folk orphans under the banner of the palace, with ill intentions."

As if knowing that what he said was easy for Zhang Shou to be confused, he hurriedly continued to explain, "He also advised the emperor that since the Tang and Song dynasties, eunuchs have been chaotic, so Emperor Taizu strictly controlled the number of eunuchs at the beginning of his ascension to the throne. ”

Zhang Shou listened to Deng Xiaodao talking about Wang Jie's sparse mystery, and his brows were already twisted into a big pimple.

Deng Xiaodao accidentally saw that song, of course Zhang Shou believed it, because this former villager boy was a very honest person even in Rongshui Village, and he couldn't speak. But whether Wang Datou was careless for a while that Deng Xiaodao saw the song, it is uncertain. Although he is responsible for his strengths, he is a high-ranking official who has been boating on the sea for many years.

But no matter what, Deng Xiaodao didn't come to see him until he sent Song Shu to the General Administration Department, and it was not wrong after all. After all, what I saw secretly held in my heart for so long but I didn't dare to pour it out, and it was still such content, which should be a big psychological burden for Deng Xiaodu, who has little experience.

Sure enough, when Deng Xiaodao saw Zhang Shou hesitating, he couldn't help but be more worried: "Mr. Xiao, in fact, I wanted to confess to Wang Zongxian several times, but I was frightened back by his iron face every time...... I just thought, although he is said to be a very important minister of the emperor, does it matter if he bluntly advises the emperor to use eunuchs in moderation? ”

Today, Deng Xiaodao is no longer the villager boy who used to be confused and unknown when he heard the word eunuch, and he can also understand some disputes between the court and China. So the first time he saw Wang Jie's performance, he felt that this matter seemed to be too big.

And at this time, seeing that Zhang Shou didn't speak, he couldn't help but become more and more confused: "I knew that things were very troublesome, I would rather be blamed by Wang Zongxian or even rushed back, I should have persuaded him, before in Xuanfu, he seemed to find out that the Duke of Chu had dealings with the eunuchs in the palace, and he was once furious at the Duke of Chu......"

Before Deng Xiaodao finished speaking, Zhang Shou immediately interrupted: "The Duke of Chu and the eunuchs in the palace are interacting? Is this serious? ”

"I don't know." Deng Xiaodao shook his head honestly, and then whispered: "I just heard them arguing in the house when I accompanied Wang Zongxian to see Chu Guogong, and in the middle I heard Wang Zongxian angrily accuse Chu Guogong of covering up ......"

As he spoke, he suddenly closed his mouth, as if he was annoyed that he had leaked Wang Jie's affairs again.

In this regard, Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh, and then said with a straight face: "Don't say half of it, I will personally take you to Wang Zongxian to make amends in the future." These things are very important, you don't hide them, talk about them in detail. ”

Since Zhang Shou said so, Deng Xiaodao put down the guilt in his heart and whispered: "They were talking in the room, at first the voice was not loud, I didn't hear clearly, but then the voices of the two people were raised. The Duke of Chu said that Wang Zongxian was full of food and supported this kind of idle business, but Wang Zongxian angrily accused the Duke of Chu of covering up, saying that he colluded with the eunuchs or something......"

He only overheard a few words outside, but he couldn't say what the specific reason was—at least, when Wang Jie was in Xuanfu, he didn't check the relevant things about Zhang Rui, the Duke of Chu, or if there was, he didn't know much, so the details he could provide at this time were very limited.

And when Zhang Shou induced him to recall little by little, he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Wang Zongxian seems to be angry at Chu Guogong, saying that he actually recommended a staff member from the family to the good hall as a teacher, but Chu Guogong was very unimpressed, and later Wang Zongxian said that Nanyang Hou, and the two of them became louder and louder."

Zhang Hanzhou, Marquis of Nanyang, is Zhang Wu's father, who was stationed in Xuanfu before the northern expedition and was stationed in Xuanfu for a long time, and it is said that he received the emperor's will to assist the Duke of Chu in Xuanfu to cut and train soldiers and horses - when he and Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing sent troops to clean up the northern captives, the Xuanfu garrison closer to the capital had low combat effectiveness, so the emperor was angry before he had this order.

And Zhang Shou learned from Zhu Ying very early on that the two brothers Huaiqinghou and Nanyanghou were greedy for money, and it could be said that they were all sick, so if Wang Datou really found out what Zhang Hanzhou had done, it would really not be strange at all.

But the problem is that if he is really targeted by Wang Datou, once the evidence is conclusive, whether it is Zhang Hanzhou, the Marquis of Nanyang, or Zhang Rui, the Duke of Chu, it will be unlucky. What's more, some things are easy to go from point to surface, from a spark to a prairie fire!

Thinking about Wang Jie's temperament, even if he still has to move forward with a load, Zhang Shou didn't mean to persuade Deng Xiaodao after he went back - how can there be any persuasion in this world to persuade good officials not to pick up corrupt officials? As for persuading Wang Jie not to scold the eunuch group, he couldn't say it. Although he is not a serious scholar, he can't sit on the side of the eunuchs!

So, he thought about it, and finally raised his head and said to Deng Xiaodu, who was under a lot of pressure: "Okay, after you go back, you might as well confess to Wang Zongxian that you inadvertently saw Song Shu before, and heard about his dispute with the Duke of Chu, and ask him for forgiveness." ”

Deng Xiaodao nodded again and again, but asked again, "Then what?" ”

And then ...... There is no then. You admit your mistake and make amends, what else will you do? Zhang Shou saw that Deng Xiaodao had turned into a statue, so he smiled and said, "Don't take these things to heart, Wang Zongxian is a veteran of judgment, he must have thought about everything before he went to the book." What's more, you told me afterwards. ”

"But ......"

"No, but!" Zhang Shou undoubtedly interrupted Deng Xiaodu's words, and then gently patted the young man's shoulder, because he smiled, "You can also tell him when you go back, you have told me all these things, and I admire his strong iron temperament." Corruption perverts the law, preys on the common people, and forms parties for personal gain, which must not be tolerated. If someone says that he is selling his name and selling his name, it is to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. ”

"But in this world, some people are used to tempting Naotomi to open fire, but they themselves hide behind and enjoy the results, hoping that he can be careful. If it is calculated by the villain, wouldn't it be painful for the relatives and quick for the enemy? ”

Deng Xiaodao hurriedly nodded again and again, and said that he had written it down. And just as their conversation came to an end, Ah Liu's voice came from outside: "Young Master, Song Tuiguan asks you to save him, he is about to be entangled by Song Benben to the point of madness." ”

Zhang Shou, who was still worried just now, was immediately happy when he heard this. Even Deng Xiaodu, who was still a little confused, couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Little sir, your house is getting more and more lively now." ”

"Yes, the originally empty courtyard is inhabited one by one, don't you know, Song Juren didn't expect Song Tuiguan, I heard that his uncle was not in the capital these days, and he also had a whim, and planned to invite me to go to Jiangdu Wangfu for him to ask for relatives." Zhang Shou gently rubbed his temples as he spoke, and then raised his voice and said, "You go to save Song Tuiguan, his business is important." ”

Seeing Ah Liu leaving, he smiled and explained to Deng Xiaodao that Song Juren's ability to make desserts was almost selected into the imperial dining room. Deng Xiaodu was very surprised when he heard about such a dignified person, but the surprise was still to come.

When Zhang Shou took out a large stack of the latest volumes of Lu Sanlang's newly printed "Ge's Arithmetic New Edition" from the bookshelf and gave it to Deng Xiaodao, a flattering voice came from outside: "Master Zhang, I just made milk red bean taro balls, do you want to taste them?" ”
