Zhang Bangqi was transferred to the secretary of the capital ministry, Zou Shouyi was promoted to the young Zhan of the Zhan Mansion, and Yang Ming seemed to have the strength to compete with Xia Yan's party.

However, with Yan Song's appointment as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the power of Xia Yan's party in the capital does not seem to have weakened, but has strengthened somewhat.

Originally, at this time, Yang Cong should seize the opportunity to quickly enhance his strength to deal with the upcoming fight, but at this time, he didn't have the heart to think about these at all, because Zhang Yue had also returned to Beijing, and his good things were coming.

When Zhang Yue, the prospective father-in-law, returned to Beijing, Yang Cong was supposed to visit as soon as possible, but after a little inquiry, he found that this was really not a good time to visit Zhang Yue.

Because Zhang Yue has been working outside all the year round, he has no mansion in the capital at all, and he is still renting a temple at this time, and there is no temple near Chang'an Avenue in the east and west of the inner city, so he can only rent in the Anguo Temple outside Zhengyang Gate.

This Anguo Temple is more than ten miles away from the imperial city, Zhang Yue spends a lot of time on the morning pilgrimage every day, including going back in the afternoon, this comes and goes, there is not much time to rest, if you bother again, I'm afraid he doesn't even have enough time to sleep.

For this reason, Yang Cong's parents were even embarrassed to go to him to discuss the marriage of their children, so as not to affect their rest.

It will definitely not work if it goes on like this, and he must wait to find a way, otherwise his prospective father-in-law is busy with his journey all day long, and how can he handle this family business.

Yang Cong inquired with Li Twelve, and soon found out that north of West Chang'an Street, east of Xiaoyongfang, near the imperial city, there was a mansion that was being sold in a hurry.

This mansion is an old man's mansion, the old man is in a hurry to return to his hometown to care for the elderly, so he is in a hurry to get rid of the mansion, and the size of this courtyard is just right, and there is everything in it for furniture, as long as you buy it, you can move in.

Yang Cong discussed with his parents, simply bought the house, and then asked his parents to come forward and ask his father-in-law Zhang Yue to move over.

In this way, it is much more convenient for Zhang Yue to go back in the morning and afternoon, and he can save at least one hour a day, and he will have more free time.

Zhang Yue also knew that it was not appropriate to go on like this, spending so much time rushing back and forth every day, not to mention Yang Cong's marriage to his daughter Zhang Zhen, even if it was his own business, it might be delayed.

He is the left deputy of the Imperial Court at this time, and he is basically sure that he is going to take over the Imperial Procuratorate, and the possibility of releasing it in the future is basically gone, and he may have to stay in the capital for several years or even more than ten years, and it will definitely not work without a mansion, and the mansion near the imperial city will cost at least a few hundred taels of silver, and he can't afford it at all, and he is worried about it.

It just so happened that Yang Cong's parents came to the door with a mansion gift, and he didn't know what he had in mind, so he moved over without hesitation.

On the afternoon of the second day after Zhang Yue moved into the new mansion, Yang Cong came to visit.

The Jiading Nursing Home or something in this mansion was originally pulled over from his new mansion to listen to it temporarily, and he saved a lot of embarrassment, and after a while, the Jiading ran over to tell him that Zhang Yue was already waiting for him in the lobby of the inner mansion.

This guy, the first time he saw his father-in-law, Yang Cong was really a little nervous, he came all the way to the outside of the lobby of the inner house, and carefully sorted out his robes, and then walked in carefully, and said to the old man sitting on it: "The little son-in-law greets the father-in-law." ”

Zhang Yue This is also the first time to see this Chenglong fast son-in-law, although he has seen Yang Cong from afar in the early dynasty, but they are not a yamen, they are far away, and they can't see it really, at this time he looked at Yang Cong carefully, and felt that Yang Cong still looked like such a champion, he nodded slightly and said: "Qingfeng, don't be restrained, sit." ”

Yang Cong hurriedly thanked him and sat down respectfully in the guest seat.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yue shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Qingfeng, this time it really made you break the bank." ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he hurriedly said respectfully: "Father-in-law, it's nothing, the son-in-law of this mansion originally wanted to buy it, but the emperor rewarded him with a mansion when he won the champion, so he just did it." This time, the father-in-law came, and the old waiter was in a hurry to return to his hometown to support the elderly, so the son-in-law bought it by the way. When others asked, the son-in-law also said the same, the son-in-law here had already booked, but the emperor gave the mansion, and the place was empty, just to invite the father-in-law to live in, and it was also empty. “

When Zhang Yue heard this, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, in fact, it was not the key that he couldn't live in this mansion, the key was that he wanted to test Yang Cong through this matter, and wanted Yang Cong to be complacent because of this, or to publicize the gift of the mansion everywhere, he really didn't want to end this family business.

He has always been careful in doing things, and he keeps a clear head at all times, and this time he was promoted to the left deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, and he did not get carried away.

He doesn't think that he will be able to take over Tu Qiao's position and become the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, these days, it is not easy to control a yamen, especially such an important yamen as the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I don't know how many people are jealous.

If he doesn't pay attention to a little, it is very likely that he will be overjoyed, and if this Yang Cong becomes his son-in-law, his words and deeds will also have a great impact on him.

If Yang Cong was a stunned young man, he didn't speak lightly, and he acted recklessly, he really didn't dare to ask for this son-in-law.

Fortunately, Yang Cong behaved quite calmly, spoke and acted decently, and with the support of Yang Ming behind him, he was a good candidate for Chenglong's quick son-in-law.

Yang Cong didn't know that Zhang Yue was testing him, so he then asked, "Father-in-law, are you still satisfied with this mansion." ”

Zhang Yue smiled faintly: "The mansion is also a place to sleep and eat, it's almost enough, this mansion is okay, it's not big, it's not public, and it doesn't look very shabby, but there are too many people in the mansion, and I can't afford to invite so many people." In this way, after Zhen'er gets married, leave the two old men and old mothers to take care of it, and you can do the rest. ”

Yang Cong hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, the son-in-law will deal with it when the time comes." ”

At this point, he was finally relieved, it seems that this old man is not the kind of person who is difficult to get along with, and he has no opinion on his marriage with Zhang Zhen, he is afraid that the old man will be angry because of Lu Ling'er's matter, and it will be troublesome.

Next, the two families began to formally discuss the marriage, which was handled by his parents, and Yang Cong only had to wait for the marriage.

It didn't take long for news to come from the south that the old lady Yang Rong and Zhang Zhen and his entourage had entered the territory of Shuntian Mansion and would soon arrive in the capital.

When Yang Cong heard the news, he was so excited that he even took a day off and went directly to the south to meet him.

At this time, on the official road from Baoding Mansion to the capital, a huge team was slowly moving towards the capital.

In this team, there are not only the old lady Yang Rong, Zhang Shen and Zhang Zhen's mother and daughter who came to get married, but also Xu Jie, Liu Shouliang and other officials of Quanzhou Mansion, and even Xue Nantang, Li Du and other Yang Cong's friends came with them!
