Wei Yunzhong instructed the housekeeper to serve food and wine. This meal was also hearty. No less than what I ate at Zhang Juzheng's place today. It looks like Wei Yunzhong and Wei Zihan's father. This brother's affection is very deep. I just regret I didn't meet Wei Zihan. We haven't seen each other for days.

I see that the food and drinks are ready. He asked, "Uncle. Why don't my aunt and mother-in-law come out and eat together?"

"We don't care about them. They also have a table in the back hall. Wait until we're done. Then let your mother-in-law come out and see your son-in-law."

Wei Yunzhong said. I'm not good at saying anything more. Actually, I wanted to see Zihan. I also want to ask if the wedding date is set. I'm desperate for a moment to be with Zihan sooner.

Satiated. The first time I met my father-in-law, I didn't dare to drink too much. So everyone eats and it's over. The family took down the food and drinks. Bring the tea. Wei Yunzhong instructed the housekeeper: "Butler. Go and get Madame and Mademoiselle out and bring them out."

The housekeeper went to the back hall to invite the two ladies and Zihan. In a few moments the two ladies came out. I never saw Zihan's mother when I was in Shouguang. This time I can see the real face. Zihan's mother is also a graceful and noble person. Dressed in a way that doesn't show that she is a 'woman' from a small city. It's no different from Zihan's aunt.

I stood up and took the lead. First of all, please say hello to Aunt Zihan. Then he said goodbye to Zihan's mother. Zihan's mother stared at me for a while and said, "My uncle is good. Talent comes first. My daughter' still has a good eye."

People praise this. Embarrassed me. Wei Yunzhong on the side said, "Okay, brother and sister. You see I'm embarrassed to say my uncle. Come sit down and say."

Everyone sat down again. Zihan was standing beside her mother. And sneak a peek at me from time to time. This 'girl' is shy after all. Even if we have a skin-to-skin relationship. Before getting married, you also need to keep your distance.

After the family members are out. We can't talk about officialdom. It's all about the parents' shortcomings. Zihan's mother also asked me about the situation at home from time to time. It's all been stuffed by me. I really can't say that. It's not good to tell a lie. To tell the truth, she didn't believe it either. Although I was looking forward to coming to the Wei family. But I'm still weak in the face of them. I finally got through until everyone said about it. That's when I got up and took my leave.

As I walked along the road, I suddenly remembered something. I forgot about the restaurant. It's been a busy few days. It was still early to look at the sky. I told the sedan chair to stop. Send Lao Liu to go back with a few eunuchs first. I rode Lao Liu's horse. and Liu Lianjiang galloped towards the restaurant.

Come to the restaurant. I saw that the restaurant was quiet and not open. Only two lanterns hung at the entrance of the 'gate'. The big 'door' is closed. Liu Lianjiang asked, "Young Master. Why is this restaurant closed?"

"You knock on the door and see if there's anybody." Saying that, I also dismounted. He tied the horse to the tethered stone at the entrance of the 'gate'.

Liu Lianjiang stepped forward and knocked on the 'door' for a while. A voice came from inside: "Don't knock. We're out of business." When I heard it, it was the shopkeeper's voice.

I'm coming to the 'door'. said: "I am the shopkeeper. Going to buy the one in your restaurant. You open the 'door' and say yes."

The shopkeeper also heard my voice. That's when the 'door' opened. I saw it in the hall. Benches, tables and chairs scattered all over the floor. There are also quite a few plates and bowls. The shopkeeper saw me come in. Then he closed the door and said with a grin, "Your Excellency, you have made me miserable. I've been waiting for you for more than a day. You don't come either. It's not this afternoon to take the third son again. I don't have any money to give. He smashed the store on me." After saying this, the shopkeeper squatted on the ground and began to cry.

"I'm sorry for the shopkeeper. It's me who is too busy. Busy forgot. No, I came at night to tell you. I don't care about the loss. The silver is still the silver; You wait. Someone will come and deliver you to the restaurant in a moment. I won't say more nonsense. Farewell."

After speaking. I took Liu Lianjiang and ran to the 'jade' horse lane. Arrived at the inn. Second Senior Brother. There is no rest yet. What are you talking about to his apprentices? Seeing me come in, he asked in surprise, "Senior brother. Why did you come here at night?"

"Senior brother. I'm in a hurry. You let Liu Lianjiang take you there now. I bought a restaurant. You go and run it. I said I'd go and deliver the money yesterday. Because the apprenticeship was delayed. Now go ahead. Do you have enough money on you?"

"I'm in such a hurry. I still have a little silver on me, and it's fifty taels. I don't know if it's enough."

"Okay, brother. The one who took it first and gave it to the shopkeeper said it was a deposit. Send him the rest tomorrow. On the way, Liu Lianjiang will tell you the ins and outs of the matter. Go now. I'll leave you the horses. Hurry up."

The second senior brother looked like this. '' with the little apprentice. Come out of the inn with me. Watching him and Liu Lianjiang leave, I returned home.

I'm not sure how they're going to do it. So I didn't sleep either. Just waiting for Liu Lianjiang to come back in the living room. An hour passed. Liu Lianjiang came back to me and said, "The young master has done it all. I look at the shopkeeper. Now I can't wait to get rid of it right away. Do you want to haggle again?"

"Forget it. are all ordinary small businesses. It's not easy. We're not short of the hundred and ten taels of silver. What did my second senior brother say?"

He said. Tomorrow day first. Go out and hire a few people to clean up the restaurant. Open in a few days. Let me send him a thousand taels of silver tomorrow. Also to re-add the damaged tables, chairs and benches. There are still unsuitable places that need to be renovated." I see that Liu Lianjiang ran with me for a day today. He was indeed tired and sent him to sleep. I also went back to the bedroom.

I can't sleep when I lie on the 'bed'. I'm reminiscing about everything today. Especially through Wei Yunzhong's little dial. I know. Even if the high arch is really drunk. It is also consciously done. Could it be that there is another conflict between Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong. I'm a little household 'waiter'. It's not worth arching high to lose this old face. But if it's for Zhang Juzheng. Will Zhang Juzheng not know.

I can't fall asleep after tossing and turning. I just want to find a chance to talk to Zhang Juzheng about this. Don't fall into the trap of high arches anymore. When the time comes, I'll be implicated in it. Don't worry about Zhang Ju really appreciating me. Or is it fake to envelop me. Now we're really tied together. I can't run and I can't run him.

It's unrealistic to go to his house to find it. After all, cabinet ministers have a lot of business. Today's apprenticeship ceremony was arranged by the emperor. If it weren't for the emperor's arrangement. Zhang Juzheng will not ask for leave. The cabinet is the brain of the Ming Dynasty. If this brain stops. Then the entire Ming Dynasty can be regarded as a 'chaos' set. Rely on the emperor himself. There is such a big country that can be governed.

If you want to meet Zhang Juzheng. One is to go to his house. Instead, go to the cabinet. It's better to go to the cabinet. Because I go to the house more often. Outsiders will say that we are a 'private' party. Even the teacher-student relationship is not good. Going to the cabinet is business. I have something to do now. You can't go to the emperor for everything. The emperor will be annoyed too. It's better to go directly to Zhang Juzheng to talk. The cabinet is also one person per room. Gao Gong will not run to Zhang Juzheng.

The next day after I got up. I wasn't in a hurry to get out. Because the cabinet went early, they didn't come back early. Also waiting there.

It was early noon. I reckon they're all back. This time I came to the Cabinet. There weren't a few people in the cabinet. I came to Zhang Juzheng's room. Zhang Juzheng was looking at the excerpts. See I'm coming. said: "Yun Jie is here. Sit down. Is there something wrong with you?"

I sat down in a chair on the side. Said: "Teacher. Why is the cabinet so quiet today? Tall adults, what about them."

"They're because of business tax issues. They were all left in the Golden Palace by the emperor. I'm also in charge of that piece. So I'm back."

As soon as I heard it, I knew that today the cabinet is very small. He said, "Teacher. I went back last night and pondered it all night. It doesn't feel like something was right yesterday."

"O. Yun Jie said how something was wrong yesterday. There's no one else here today to share your opinion."

"Teacher. You said that Gao Gonggui is the first assistant. He used to be the emperor's master. He is very strict with etiquette. How could such a mistake be made. Make a fool of yourself in public. He's not hiding anything."

"The student thought about it all night and couldn't figure it out. So I came to the cabinet to ask for advice. The teacher has been 'dealing' with Gao Gong for a long time, and should know his personality. I guess the teacher has seen it."

Zhang Juzheng put down the fold and said, "Not bad. Worthy of being my student. I haven't taught you anything, teacher. You know there's something greasy in there. I watched the high arch yesterday and ate it. I knew he was deliberately making a fool of himself. It's just that I haven't thought about the purpose of this scandal. But there's one thing I know. Gao Gong is an extremely intelligent person. He must have done it for his purpose. Is it against me or against someone else. I haven't thought about it for the time being. But since he has a purpose. We'll just be careful in the future."

I knew that Zhang Juzheng would also see it. What I don't understand are just the officials who follow and watch the excitement. Their thinking is too simple. How do you know that the battle behind these high-ranking officials is endless. It's a battlefield without gunpowder.

"It's still a great teacher. This has been seen for a long time. The student thought about it all night before he came up with it. In the future, I will ask the teacher to teach me more. Otherwise, the student will be cheated. Your master can't get over face, right?"

Zhang Juzheng, who was patted on the horse, was very comfortable. He stood up and poured me a cup of tea and said, "Do you know why officialdom is called Huan Hai again. This is the knowledge of officials. Much more esoteric than books. As unfathomable as the sea. There are no eternal enemies in officialdom. I don't have forever friends. Some are just related to interests. Of course. It's not the same relationship between you and me. We are teachers and students. There are common interests and goals. If you move you, you move me. Moved me. There are no good consequences for you. So. This clique of generations is unavoidable. But we pull together. It's for the imperial court. For the sake of the country. For the sake of the emperor. There is no purpose for our 'private' people."

Zhang Juzheng said that the righteousness is strict. As if he was the embodiment of justice. The pillars of the imperial court. I know it in my heart. No matter how nice it sounds. It's all about thinking about your own interests first. And then the interests of the country .
