Chapter 577: Occasional Ease
"Yuande. Do you see what's wrong? "In the study of Zhang Juzheng's home. Zhang Juzheng was sitting in a chair. A rather casual look asked Zhang Fan.
Frankly. This is the same as Zhang Fan's mind. No. is a little different from Zhang Juzheng in anyone's mind. No matter what outsiders think of Zhang Juzheng. Even those who have deep prejudices against him. But when it comes to conscientiousness. That is definitely very admirable for Zhang Juzheng. And Zhang Juzheng himself is definitely not a person who is outside the gold and jade, and he is ruined. It's really possible to be the same as what it looks and what it seems. It's time to relax. Then you have to be idle. But once you have to face the business. Then he won't be a little sloppy either.
About that. I want to say who in the court knows best. Then I have to mention two people. One is that he has already been relieved of his burden. Xu Jie, who has returned to the countryside to retire. And one more person. Not to mention. Naturally, it is Zhang Fan, the person who worships under his door. And Zhang Fan also knows. There is nothing untrue about the evaluation of Zhang Juzheng outside. Truth is truth. Zhang Juzheng is indeed such a person.
But. That's what I said. For Zhang Juzheng's sense of image. In the present day. In front of Zhang Fan's eyes, it didn't exist at all. Idle when it's time to be free. But now is not the time to relax. After all, it is in front of Zhang Juzheng's eyes now. There are several dossiers on the sidelines. All of them are written about the method of passing the examination.
As a matter of fact. About the test method. And there wasn't that much of it. One could even say. If only the day of the actual promulgation. There's not much on display at all. Even if it is to enumerate all the rules and regulations in it. Actually, it doesn't take much space. That's it. Not much stuff. But that doesn't mean it's full of bugs.
Now. These dossiers are placed in front of the front of Zhang Ju. It's all since this time. Some of the things that he and Zhang Fan summarized. Some are really things that have been well thought out. It is carefully written on it. And some of them are just flashes of inspiration from time to time. Something that may or may not work. But it was all recorded by the two of them. Maybe we'll be able to use it in the future.
All in all. Such a large pile of dossiers on top. In fact, it may not be more than 30% of them that are really useful. And it's not all of them that are placed in front of Zhang Ju. There are also a bunch of about the same number in front of Zhang Fan.
But. Anyway. And that's definitely the right thing to do. And for Zhang Juzheng. That's all about getting down to business. However. Now on Zhang Juzheng's face. In addition to leisure and relaxation. I don't see the slightest sign of taking things seriously.
Heard Zhang Juzheng's words. And Zhang Fan, who raised his head, naturally saw this scene. And on this. Zhang Fan's heart was not only weird. It's just weird. Why. Because in the past. Even if it's time to relax. Zhang Juzheng will never show such a relaxed appearance. Zhang Fan only remembers at his wedding banquet. Zhang Juzheng showed this expression. It was a total relaxation. There is nothing to worry about. That's what he does.
And now. Zhang Juzheng actually showed such an appearance. Zhang Fan had to feel weird.
Suddenly. Zhang Fan thought. Maybe. Zhang Juzheng was still thinking about what had just happened. After all, although I said it with lip service. The worries in your heart will not affect your work. But let's be honest. Even Zhang Fan himself didn't believe it. Not to mention Zhang Juzheng.
Come to think of it. Zhang Fan thought. Zhang Ju deliberately showed such an expression. The bit is that he wants to take the school and test him. Come to think of it. Zhang Fan's heart is also a little more steady.
Merely. If that's the case. Zhang Juzheng's words made him feel a little confused. Maybe. There's a real problem here. Zhang Juzheng saw it. Now that he is going to take the school exam, he Zhang Fan has not seen it. Or maybe it's. There was no problem at all. Zhang Juzheng just deliberately made such an appearance. Said such a thing on purpose. in order to deceive him. Let's see if he says anything wrong.
But this kind of thinking. Zhang Fan just flashed in his mind. Change is forgotten. Zhang Fan has understood a truth since he was a child. Whether the other party wants to test you like Zhang Juzheng. Or do I really want to ask you something? All in all, one point. Instead of going to the prince to speculate. It's better to really observe for yourself. See the truth and then answer. In that case. No matter what the purpose of the other person is asking you. You tell the truth. There will be absolutely no problems. Unless the other party is deliberately targeting you.
Of course. This approach is not effective at all times, in any occasion, and in front of whomever it is. After all, there are so many special things in this world. There is no single way to do anything.
But. Zhang Fan understood. Now is not the time to engage in philosophy. Facing him was Zhang Juzheng. Although a lot of things have happened between them. made Zhang Fan feel that the distance between Zhang Juzheng and himself was gradually widening. But Zhang Fan understands something. No matter what happens between them in the future. Facing Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Fan is still relatively clear. Especially the current Zhang Juzheng. Now this Zhang Juzheng needs his help.
If he really wanted to guess. Zhang Fan will say that there is something. Zhang Juzheng has never been a person without a purpose. Any word he says. Anything you do. It's all organized. It is absolutely impossible to make a surprising move based on the rise of one's own consciousness. So. Zhang Juzheng would actually say that. Apparently there should be something wrong with it.
stopped speculating about the reason why Zhang Juzheng asked him. Zhang Fan didn't answer him right away. Instead, he bowed his head again. He carefully looked at the file in his hand.
However, while watching. Zhang Fan's brows also furrowed little by little. Not because there really is a problem. Or maybe he saw something big leaking. But. Zhang Fan was in for a while. I really haven't found any questions to be discussed.
He didn't lift his head right away. Zhang Fan thought about it. But I couldn't think of anything at all. And Zhang Juzheng on the other side. But there is no sense of urging. looked at Zhang Fan calmly. The face is still so relaxed.
Ultimately. Zhang Fan raised his head. looked at Zhang Juzheng. A confused look. Said: "Teacher." Forgive students for being stupid. The students really didn't see what was wrong. ”
"Hahaha." Heard Zhang Fan say this. Zhang Juzheng not only did not show a look of disappointment or anger. On the contrary, he laughed three times even more inconsistent with his usual image.
These three laughs. It really scared Zhang Fan. To say that Zhang Juzheng was abnormally idle just now. It already made Zhang Fan feel extremely weird. And now. Zhang Juzheng's three voices. It really scared Zhang Fan.
This kind of laughter can already be described as "wandering wreckage". and the faces that are revealed with laughter. Even the most unruly officials in the court will not send it out. Not to mention Zhang Juzheng, who has always shown himself with a cautious attitude.
And now. It was in front of Zhang Fan. Zhang Juzheng made such an appearance. It really scared Zhang Fan: "Teacher." Teacher. You...... It's all right. Zhang Fan who stood up. Talking in his mouth. On the other hand, he quickly came to Zhang Juzheng's side. Look at him worriedly. I'm afraid that something will happen to him. But he didn't dare to move.
And Zhang Juzheng. After three laughs. Although he didn't make a sound. But there was still a happy look on his face. That's it. It lasted for a long time. Zhang Juzheng has returned to his original appearance. But the smile on his face. But it can't go away.
See so. Zhang Fan was relieved. But I don't dare to be completely reassured. Some cautiously walked back to their original positions. Sit in a chair. Zhang Fan still looked at Zhang Juzheng with a worried look.
"It's fine. Teacher. Zhang Fan saw that Zhang Juzheng had not spoken. This is another question.
"Oh." Zhang Juzheng finally came back to his senses. Hurriedly said. "It's fine. I'm fine. ”
"Uh...... Ignorance...... Why did the teacher laugh. Zhang Fan still looked like he had palpitations. He asked.
"Because I'm happy." Zhang Juzheng looked outspoken. "Everybody says it. Be a free and easy person. I've grown up for decades. Always be careful. Especially after entering the official career. It is very prudent to do things. Careful. lest you make a mistake and take a wrong step. Now. I met something glad about. I also feel like I should be free. ”
"Sir. Master. It's all right. Zhang Juzheng's words just fell. Steward Li had already hurriedly pushed the door in. Nervously asked. Obviously. Even Zhang Juzheng's housekeeper had never seen Zhang Juzheng like this. He thought it was something going on in the study. Hurriedly ran over.
"Oh. Lao Li. I'm fine. Something happy came to mind. I laughed out loud. No big deal. Go ahead and get busy with yours. Zhang Juzheng was obviously very interested. He didn't care if someone interrupted him.
"Oh." Listen to what Zhang Juzheng said. Steward Lee. I had to close the door in confusion. I forgot even the salute.
"I don't know why the teacher laughed." Zhang Fan asked again.
"That's because of what you just said." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile. "There's really nothing wrong with that."
