Chapter 29: Late Return
After listening to Wang Geng's words, Wang Xin chuckled in his heart, he also passed on the bad words of Zhang Shumo a few days ago, if Wang Geng reused him, wouldn't he be a strong enemy?
"Master, if Zhang Shumo is really talented, wouldn't it be that the young master said a few days ago that he would let him buy poetry?"
Wang Geng smiled: "It must be fake!" When they came to me that day, I guessed that 100 taels was not a big deal, and if I could find a competent start for Chen'er, it would be worth the money. ”
In Shanyang Academy, Zhang Shumo was urging the children to read, when Li Yi came over with Zhang Qian and other gentlemen and called Zhang Shumo out.
"Zhang Shumo, did you go to Xingcui Pavilion yesterday?" Li Yi asked.
Zhang Shumo nodded, and the gentlemen looked at Zhang Shumo in surprise.
"Sure enough, it's you! Haha, I heard that you not only bought a poem, but also a word? Cai Zhi looked at Zhang Shumo with a smile, and his eyes glanced at Zhang Qian from time to time.
Li Yi also laughed: "Cai Zhi, you don't have to ask knowingly." This poem is timely and appropriate, and it is obviously taken from local materials, how can it be bought. It seems that a few days ago, there were crazy rumors in the market, Zhang Shumo bought poems, and participated in the literary fight, which is just a rumor. ”
Zhang Qian's face turned red and asked Zhang Shumo: "Zhang Shumo, why do you admit that you bought the poem?" ”
After listening to the words of several people, Zhang Shumo realized that the matter of Xingcui Pavilion last night had probably spread, so he explained to Zhang Gan: "Sir, if you believe rumors and rumors, what I say to you, I am afraid you will not believe it." ”
Li Yi nodded with satisfaction, he was originally worried that he would be in trouble if he recruited Zhang Shumo into the academy, but now it seems that he has really picked up a treasure. So he smiled and said, "Okay, okay." Now that things are clear, let's go about our business. ”
Everyone dispersed, and Zhang Shumo had a faint trace of worry in his heart: It seems that the matter of Xingcui Pavilion has spread, although he wrote the first word for Wang Chen to Yunyan, but outsiders may not know the reason, in case someone with ulterior motives spreads this word to Lou Zaiying's ears, making Lou Zaiying think that he wrote a rather ambiguous poem for a woman in a green house, then Lou Zaiying will not eat himself? Lou Zaiying finally admitted that she was a husband, but she must not make any extraneous branches.
Zhang Shumo spent the day in a state of worry, leaving Shanyang Academy, Zhang Shumo rushed to Lou's house non-stop, just at the door of the house, Lu Li walked out of the restaurant and stopped Zhang Shumo.
"Zhang Gongzi, you haven't been to the shop for a long time, the shop has just bought a batch of good wine from the capital, would you like to taste it?"
Zhang Shumo naturally knew that there must be something wrong with Lu Li stopping him, so he readily agreed. The two came to the private room on the second floor, closed the door, and Zhang Shumo asked: "Shopkeeper Lu called, asked me to come to the office, what is the matter?" ”
"Since the second son is so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush. Recently, the second son has been out of the limelight, although it is a good thing to become famous, but it is a trouble for the identity of the second son. Lu Li went straight to the point.
Zhang Shumo nodded: "Thank you, Boss Lu, for mentioning and reminding me, I have my own sense of proportion and proportion." ”
Lu Li smiled: "That's the best, otherwise it will be difficult for us." The lord came with a letter, let us protect the second son no matter what happens, the two brothers I brought this time are good hands on the rivers and lakes, which shows that the master still cares about the second son. ”
As soon as Zhang Shumo heard his father, his mood immediately became lonely: "He, he said this, I'm afraid it's a burden, I'm worried that others will know that I'm not dead, shame, shame on him." ”
Lu Li looked embarrassed, and it was worth comforting: "The second son, don't think too much, the master is in a high position, and many things are forced to happen." ”
Zhang Shumo got up and flicked his sleeves: "Okay, I, I know." After speaking, he left the restaurant and went back to Lou's house.
Entering the courtyard of the big house, Lou Guang was practicing boxing. Since the gambling incident, Lou Guang has no choice but to leave the courtyard of the Lou family, and can only practice martial arts every day except for eating and sleeping.
Seeing Zhang Shumo coming back, Lou Guangxing rushed up to greet him: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law." What's new out there lately? ”
Zhang Shumo frowned, the recent news outside seemed to be the poem he wrote for Yunyan, thinking of the consequences of Lou Zaiying knowing about this, Zhang Shumo quickly shook his head: "What, what's new, hurry, hurry up and practice martial arts." ”
Lou Guang pouted: "When did you become the same as your sister, it's not that the family doesn't enter the door!" ”
Zhang Shumo no longer talked to Lou Guang, but went back to the house. As soon as I entered the house, I found that Lou Zaiying hadn't come back yet, Lou Zaiying went home earlier than herself on weekdays, and she was so away from home today? Arriving here first, Zhang Shumo asked Lou Guang: "What about you, your sister?" ”
Lou Guang raised his head: "I haven't come back yet." ”
Zhang Shumo felt a little uneasy in his heart after hearing this: Lou Zaiying couldn't have heard the news and was angry and deliberately didn't go home, right?
After a while, Mrs. Qing made dinner, and at this time Lou Zaiying had not come back, Zhang Shumo was even more uneasy, so he asked Mrs. Qing and Lou Guang: "Zaiyingke, did you say that you would return late today, today?" ”
The two shook their heads, and Mrs. Qing looked at the sky outside: "She has already arrived home at this time on weekdays, why hasn't she come back today?" Didn't something happen to the barracks? ”
Lou Guang stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth, and said with a whin: "My sister is a township soldier, and the Northwest Army goes first to fight, what can they do?" ”
Zhang Shumo put down his chopsticks and said to Mrs. Qing: "Mother, I, I'll go to my grandfather and ask, ask." ”
When he came to Master Lou's hall, he found that only Uncle Zhang, who was serving Master Lou's daily life, was in the house, so Zhang Shumo asked, "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang, is Grandpa there?" ”
Uncle Zhang shook his head: "The master hasn't come back yet, in the past, the master would only return late when he caught the gangsters, so I think there are some gangsters near Qinghua City." ”
Zhang Shumo was about to ask again, but Mrs. Yi also hurriedly ran over: "Uncle Zhang, where is the master?" Hasn't the master come back yet? ”
Uncle Zhang nodded, and Mrs. Yi looked worried: "Sure enough." Yin'er should have been with the master, so she didn't come back. ”
After listening to Zhang Shumo, he couldn't help but think in his heart: This Lou Yin hasn't come back either, it seems that there is something wrong with the army. Although Lou Zaiying is a military candidate, she is only a recruit for a few months after all, and if she really goes to the battlefield to fight, I am afraid ......
Zhang Shumo didn't dare to think about it anymore, there were many people in the Lou family who were on errands in the military camp, and Zhang Shumo immediately went elsewhere. The second master of the Lou family was the captain in the army, and Zhang Shumo went to the courtyard of the second master.
The second master was having dinner, and was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Shumo: "Shumo, why are you here?" ”
Zhang Shumo was also very surprised to see the second grandfather at home, if there was something in the army, the second grandfather should not be at home, it seems that things are not simple. Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo hurriedly asked: "Second grandfather, grandpa didn't go back or go home with Zaiying, do you know what happened to the army and the army?" ”
