Chapter 249: New Year's Greetings and Cheating Marriage
"It's a New Year's greeting to the teacher! It's a New Year's greeting to Patriarch Ge! Happy and auspicious New Year! This is Lu Sanlang, who does not seek merit but seeks no fault, and when he bends down to salute with joy, the fat on his body seems to be still shaking.
"Patriarch Ge has a long life of 100 years, and his life is longer than Nanshan! The teacher Qingyun went straight up, and he had many sons and many blessings...... "This is Zhu Er, who thinks he can speak, and while speaking, he secretly sighs that Zhu Ying originally wanted to disguise herself as a man and follow her, but she was dragged into the palace by Mrs. Tai to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother and the emperor, so he left desperately and asked him to say more auspicious words today - he felt that he was enough to please him.
"I wish the teacher and Ancestor Ge good fortune like the East China Sea!" It is Zhang Chen who tosses the New Year's greeting into a birthday celebration without brains. Moreover, while he was talking, he was still looking left and right, and as a result, a group of younger brothers shouted after him, which was very imposing.
Listening to this chaotic voice, seeing that Zhang Chen, Lu Sanlang and others squeezed aside all the middle-aged and elderly officials who also came to Ge Yong to pay New Year's greetings today, surrounded them chaotically, and said all kinds of auspicious words, Zhang Shou, who helped Ge Yong into the house, didn't know what to say, and couldn't dampen their enthusiasm: "Okay, come here on the first day of the Lunar New Year to pay New Year's greetings, you have a heart!" ”
After he carried Ge Yong to the central Taishi chair and sat down, he turned around and pointed his finger at the people who were the leaders.
"But did you all make an appointment a long time ago? Unexpectedly, all of them came? It's a good thing to respect the teacher, but look at yourself, just now you just rushed to the top, and you don't know that you respect the elders, and you don't even let a few seniors go! ”
Today is not only a group of students from Banshan Hall, but also a large group of people from Jiuzhangtang. There is no doubt that on the one hand, Zhang Chen, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu went to convene, on the other hand, Lu Sanlang and Qi Liang discussed, and they were all notified before the holiday, as well as Deng Xiaodu, who returned to his hometown for the New Year last night and hurried into Beijing early in the morning, everyone is young, which is in stark contrast to several middle-aged and elderly officials.
At this time, hearing Zhang Shou scolding the students, and seeing Zhang Chen and the others suddenly realized, they all turned around and apologized to them.
Although there were only twenty or thirty of the more than 100 people in the Banshan Hall, it seemed that there were a lot of people in the Jiuzhang Hall, but they knew that there was a huge difference in the backgrounds of the prisoners in the two halls of Guozijian, and it was really rare to have so many people come to pay New Year's greetings. If you don't believe it, look at other Dr. Guozi, who can have dozens of students to pay New Year's greetings? I can remember that I am already very attentive to the post, and I still expect people to come to the door in person?
At the moment, because of the hard top of the front and Zhang Shou, Zhang Huaili, who "fainted" in front of the emperor, went to work "due to illness", and Chen Shang, who had just been restored to the head of the household, opened his mouth with a smile as a representative.
"The little junior brother is serious, and it is too late for us to be happy to see so many juniors come to pay New Year's greetings to the teacher. Besides, they swarmed up, and that was also to greet the teacher and you, what else do we have to worry about? The teacher has always loved to be lively, but it is a pity that a few of us are desolate, and when we came to pay New Year's greetings, we couldn't entertain our relatives in colorful clothes, and we couldn't fight the teacher. ”
Ge Yong didn't hide his joy and pride at all, and said with a smile: "Zizhen, do you still dare to say, can you act in Caiyi Entertainment?" However, you have finally returned to Beijing, Zhang Shou, this kid has a slippery head, when I took him to find Lao Chu today, he didn't help me, the teacher, calculate the solar eclipse, it's not as good as you! By the way, you are also the predecessor of these boys, go back and point out to them to calculate the scriptures. ”
Let the dignified household department Shangshu guide a group of supervisors to calculate the scriptures? Zhang Shou felt that Mr. Ge was saying this, so he just listened to it. However, when he really saw Chen Shang's bitter face and really agreed, he was a little surprised.
This Tobe Shangshu seems to be really subservient to Ge Yong, a teacher? It's no wonder that Zhu Ying said that once she was pulled by Ge Yong to count something, and she almost delayed the court!
But he soon didn't have time to think about it, because Ge Yong then directly put his apprentices and grandchildren aside first, and pulled him to introduce him one by one to these middle-aged and elderly officials led by Chen Shang.
From Chen Shang, the secretary of the household department, there are Taichang Shaoqing, and there are those who have just returned from the right capital imperial history and the governor of Yungui to report on their work, and there are the servants of the criminal department...... All of them are three and four grades, which is quite consistent with their age.
And the young people who were pushed aside, but they didn't have any complaints, the four words of Ge's disciple Sun, it was so loud that it couldn't be more than that, and with such an aura, the children of Guijie can hold their heads high at home, and the poor prisoners have never experienced the taste of being bullied.
Moreover, according to their little gentleman Zhang Shou's personality, how could they forget them if there were good things?
Sure enough, after Ge Yong took Zhang Shou to meet Chen Shang and other senior brothers one by one, next, Zhang Shou also began to fulfill his duties as a teacher and introduced the students to everyone one by one. Of course, Ge Yong only introduced him alone before, but now he has a large number of students, so he can only be concise and to the point, try to use the most accurate description, and summarize everyone in three words.
"Senior brothers, this is the head of the Jiuzhang Hall, Lu Sanlang Lu Zhu, the son of Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of War, he has an outstanding talent in arithmetic, and he has taught himself more than half of the nine chapters of arithmetic since he was a child, and now he has learned all of them, from him, I learned a sentence, people should not be disgraced."
"This is Zhang Chen, the son of Qin Guogong, the head of the Banshan Hall. He is anxious and righteous, very responsible, and the former Linhai camp fraud case is the cover he lifted, and he was almost targeted by traitors for revenge. At the beginning, most of these students in Banshan Hall were summoned by him with Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu...... Oh, this is the future Princess Deyang concubine Zhang Wu, who has a simple and honest personality......"
"This is the disciples Qi Liang and Deng Ai that I received in Rongshui Village. Although they came from a poor background, they are eager to learn, and what is even more rare is that Yu is quite talented in arithmetic, and now one is the right-hand man of Wang Dayin of Shuntian Mansion, and the seventh in the first house exam, and is helping to lead his juniors and disciples in the Jiuzhang Hall. Xiao Deng is a bit stupid, so I often call him Derpy, and Xiao Qi has never liked to fight with others......"
Zhang Shou commented one by one, whether it was Zhang Chen, Lu Sanlang, Zhang Wu, Zhang Lu, or Zhu Erqiliang, they all felt that their evaluation of themselves was quite fair - they didn't expect Zhang Shou to only praise them, and almost didn't talk about their shortcomings.
And Zhang Shou did not favor one over the other, when introducing others one by one, he also only talked about the advantages and did not talk about the disadvantages - after all, in this kind of occasion, if he, the teacher, said that his students were not good, it would be too second!
It's like a parent counting down their own children in front of others......
And Ge Yong smiled patiently and waited until Zhang Shou finished introducing everyone, then he slapped his face and pulled everyone's attention back to himself: "Today's New Year, I guessed that I might be able to have a lively time, but I didn't expect so many people to come." But it just so happened that I got up early and had someone send a note to listen to the rain Xiaozhu, and the twelve rains should come over in a while. ”
What is called a stone breaking shock, everyone present felt that they had experienced it before, but at this moment, when they heard Old Man Ge say Tingyu Xiaozhu and Twelve Rain in such a calm tone, they all fell into a state of aphasia. Only Zhang Shou had heard Ge Yong say it a long time ago, and he was calm at this time, and he remembered the rumors that Zhu Ying had jokingly mentioned to him.
"When Grandpa Ge was young, he was handsome and dignified, and he heard that countless famous prostitutes in the capital wanted to serve the pillow seat, so he only begged him to leave a poem and a half, but Grandpa Ge was among the thousands of flowers, and the leaves did not touch his body......"
Therefore, without waiting for the others to react, he immediately asked, "What is the teacher going to let them play?" ”
Seeing that Zhang Shou not only did not persuade, but also asked Ge Yong what he was playing, Chen Shang suddenly felt a little headache, and wanted to warn Zhang Shou, you are about to become the Zhu family's Chenglong Jiajia, you should always pay attention to your image. But when he caught a glimpse of Zhu Er being next to him, he suddenly had an even more headache. Come on, Zhu Jiaerlang is also here, so don't worry about it!
The Shuntian Mansion was supposed to be a holiday for the errand officers, and the officials rested and enjoyed a rare holiday time. However, because of the sudden complaints yesterday, many people could only give up their rest and come to the yamen to listen to Wang Jie's orders at any time. Even if no one dared to complain in front of King Yin of the Iron Mask Mansion, behind the scenes, everyone complained.
can't scold Wang Jie, naturally those royal historians are scolded!
However, at this time, no one dared to stay in front of the second hall at all, not because Wang Jie put on a black face to show others, but because there was a bored aunt and grandmother with a bored face full of faults. A young officer glanced at it from afar, then retracted his head, and said to the old officer next to him with a bitter face: "This eldest lady is not really here for those things yesterday and today, is he?" ”
"How could it not be? Those righteous and strict imperial histories still think that others don't know their ideas? I went to find a group of people to complain, and then proved that those charges were false, and then today it was a basin of dirty water poured on the head of Zhao Guogong's mansion, pointing out that everyone is stupid? Those guys are so aggressive, it's no wonder that this aunt can be angry! ”
The old messenger who spoke glanced over there, and his face showed a little suspicion: "The emperor wants to help the Zhao State Mansion, otherwise he would not have sent the inner attendant of the celebrant to accompany Miss Zhu to meet our Wang Dayin." But when he went in, Miss Zhu personally guarded outside, what was going on? It doesn't make sense! ”
The young officer coughed lightly and was about to speak, when he suddenly noticed that someone on the other side of the second gate was running towards this side like a gust of wind, his face was full of anger and ruin, and he was still holding something in his hand. Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, when people rushed to him, he recognized that it was the uncle of the household warden Deng Xiaodu, he immediately asked: "What, something happened again?" ”
He really wanted to hear a negative answer, however, Uncle Deng said with a bitter face: "It's not an accident, it's a big incident!" Someone threw a post into our Shuntian Mansion, and the top actually said...... I actually said......"
Because of the uneven breath, he couldn't understand the words behind him for a long time, the two servants were about to die of anger by him, but the people in this government are old qualifications, and there is a nephew who has a good life, they don't dare to urge. But at this moment, they only heard a voice from behind: "Show me this post!" ”
Uncle Deng just saw a flower in front of him, and someone snatched the post in his hand. As soon as he was about to get angry, he saw the figure in front of him wearing a big flamingo, and he immediately closed his mouth, but he didn't dare to say a word. How dare he provoke Zhu Ying!
Zhu Ying had long found out that someone was spying on her, however, since she was a child, this was a situation that she had long been accustomed to, so she was not surprised at all, but she didn't see it. However, when she found that someone seemed to be coming outside, and then a few people seemed to be muttering there, she couldn't help it when she was too lazy to see Wang Jie just now.
She followed here to convey the newly appointed Lu Chan to Yin Wangjie of Shuntian Mansion, that was to see if Deng Xiaodao was there by the way, and give him a message, now that I heard that people returned to their hometowns for the New Year before, they should go to Gefu to pay New Year's greetings today, and she has long wanted to leave. She knows very well that no matter how capable Wang Jie is, it is impossible to solve these messy cases before he will take office immediately after the Chinese New Year.
So, she didn't want to put pressure on people anymore...... This Shuntian Mansion Yin has carried enough blame for more than half a year!
If you don't put pressure on Wang Jie, it doesn't mean that Zhu Ying doesn't care about anything. At this moment, she snatched the post with her hand, opened it and saw the first words, and her face immediately changed. In a fit of rage, she subconsciously raised her hand high and wanted to smash the post directly on the ground, but in the end she stopped abruptly and sneered angrily.
"Sue me and Ah Shou for not having a marriage certificate at all, saying that I cheated on the marriage of the Duke of Zhao? What a joke! ”
As soon as these words came out, the two messengers were suddenly silent, and even Uncle Deng was taken aback. Seeing that Zhu Ying took the slip in his hand, turned around and strode towards the second hall, he hesitated slightly, and finally chased after him, but when the person went straight into the second hall, he didn't dare to follow up casually, so he could only wait outside the door.
After a while, he saw the thick curtain move, and immediately after, the expressionless face of Lord Yin of his own house appeared in front of him. He had always been most afraid of that cold face, so he hurriedly lowered his head, and the next moment, he only listened to Wang Jie's instructions: "Since you are here, then go to the household to check and see if the old marriage book of the Zhao Guogong Mansion is available." ”
Uncle Deng had long known that he would definitely face such a request, so he hesitated for a moment and then agreed. After seeing Wang Jie return to the second hall, he sighed and rushed back to the house, but after a while, he turned around, and said in a low voice in front of the second hall: "Back to Wang Dayin, the little boy has carefully examined it, that thing ...... There really isn't that thing. ”
I think Deng Xiaodao had entrusted him to check it at the beginning, but he searched all over it, but he didn't find it!
"How is that possible!" Zhu Ying opened the curtain of the door, and after shouting angrily, she saw that the person in front of the door was startled and hurriedly retreated, almost falling down from the steps.
As soon as he stood firm, she let go of her hand, and when she turned around and saw that Lu Chan had come out, she said stiffly: "Grandpa Lu, Zhang Wu, Zhang Lu and Xiao Qi may go to Grandpa Ge's place to pay New Year's greetings, after all, Ah Shou is also there, let's go there first!" ”
Seeing that Lu Chan was slightly stunned, and then agreed, Zhu Ying didn't even bother to make sure that the marriage certificate was really not filed in the Shuntian Mansion, so she turned around and strode out. Uncle Deng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pulled out his legs to chase after him.
Zhu Ying really couldn't understand that her grandmother and mother kept saying that she had a marriage contract with Zhang Shou, why didn't the nobles have a marriage book that should have been archived in the Shuntian Mansion as usual?
