Chapter 479: Chang'an Month

When I came out of the palace, it was already afternoon.

After reporting to Li Shimin what he had done in Luoyang, Li Shimin seemed very satisfied and said a lot of words of encouragement. Then, we had lunch in the palace.

When Zhang Yunwen was about to leave the palace, Li Zhi pulled Zhang Yunwen's shirt and insisted on letting him go to the East Palace.

In the East Palace, Li Zhi confided in Zhang Yunwen about the difficulties he had encountered in the past six months, as well as how he had been in a coma for nearly a day.

Especially on the day when Li Shimin was in a coma, he actually received three or four letters sent by a petty official of the seventh or eighth grade, asking Li Zhi to ascend the throne and become emperor. Of course, these petty officials were removed from their official positions after Li Shimin woke up. However, this shows that the situation in the court at this time is not clear at all, if Li Shimin falls in the future, there will definitely be Li Zhi to see.

After listening to Li Zhi's conversation, Zhang Yunwen was silent for a long time, but said: "Xiaozhi, my brother-in-law is not good at this political matter. So you'd better ask your uncle and eldest grandson about these things! But I have a piece of advice for you! ”

Li Zhi heard the first half of Zhang Yunwen's sentence, and immediately showed disappointment, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he asked eagerly: "What suggestions?" ”

Zhang Yunwen said unhurriedly: "Follow Your Majesty's steps closely and figure out what Your Majesty means." As long as you show the qualities that a Ming Jun should have, then Your Majesty will naturally clear the way for you! ”

Hearing Zhang Yunwen's words, Li Zhi suddenly nodded: "Thank you brother-in-law for your advice!" ”

Zhang Yunwen smiled: "Who are we with!" Well, by the way, didn't you want to experience life in the barracks? Now that the gendarmerie battalion is stationed in the Imperial City, you can mention to Your Majesty that you will train in the gendarmerie battalion for a few days. I think Your Majesty will agree! ”

After bidding farewell to Li Zhi, Zhang Yunwen walked slowly to the place where the gendarmerie camp was stationed. Although the gendarmerie battalion has now been transferred to defend the imperial city, I believe that with Zhang Ji's age, no matter how he is arranged, he will not be able to rank on his head. Presumably, Zhang Ji is still guarding the military barracks in the gendarmerie camp at the moment.

As expected, it did.

Zhang Yunwen, who came to the military police barracks, saw through the fence outside the barracks and saw less than 100 people training in the barracks. Among them, there is a small figure. It was Zhang Ji.

When I entered the barracks, I saw that the entire barracks were empty, except for those quiet barracks, only the hundreds of people on the training ground were exercising. The gendarmerie battalion is located inside the imperial city, and in order to defend the imperial city, all the troops were divided, and only nearly 100 people remained in the barracks. However, Zhang Yunwen learned from Li Zhi that by tomorrow night at the latest, the gendarmerie battalion would no longer have to perform the duty of garrisoning the palace, but would continue to be in charge of the left and right prison guards.

In the huge military camp, except for a few people on a few guard towers, there were only nearly a hundred people on the training ground.

Zhang Yunwen came to the side of the training ground, looked at these soldiers and did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and did not speak at the moment, just stood in the corner of the training ground, looked at the soldiers training in the field, and looked at Zhang Ji.

It wasn't until more than half an hour later, when these soldiers finished the afternoon drill, that Zhang Yunwen slowly walked to the field.

As soon as the soldiers saw Zhang Yunwen coming, they saluted one after another: "General! ”

After Zhang Yunwen greeted these soldiers, he walked up to Zhang Ji and looked down at Zhang Ji who reached his chin.

"Daddy!" Zhang Ji called Zhang Yunwen gently, but there was a trace of joy in his eyes.

Zhang Yunwen stretched out his hand, patted Zhang Ji's shoulder, and said to him, "Let's go, let's go over there!" ”

Zhang Ji nodded his head, and then followed Zhang Yunwen slowly to the end of the barracks. Those soldiers standing on the training ground hurriedly made way for Zhang Yunwen and his son.

Watching the backs of one big and one small gradually disappear, a soldier licked his chapped lips and said, "General Zhang shouldn't have come to pick that kid back!" After thinking about it for a few months, I now realize that I actually quite like that kid! ”

"Yes, Zhang Ji's kid is good, that temperament is very much in line with Lao Tzu's taste!" Another soldier also said, "But General Zhang shouldn't take it away!" ”

"How do you know?"

"Lao Tzu knows!"

……

Not to mention that these two soldiers were arguing with each other there, and that when Zhang Yunwen took Zhang Ji to the open space on the other side of the barracks, he said to Zhang Ji with appreciation: "Yes, although it is darker, the body bones are stronger!" Keep it up! Hmm, how is life in this barracks? ”

Zhang Ji lowered his head, and while digging an unyielding grass on the side of the road in this barracks with his feet, he said in a low voice: "At the beginning, I was still a little unaccustomed. However, before ......'s voice fell, Zhang Yunwen's reprimand voice was heard: "Didn't you eat?" Be louder! ”

Zhang Ji subconsciously stood upright, and said loudly: "It was very difficult at the beginning, and I couldn't survive it at all......" Speaking of this, Zhang Ji suddenly realized that his father was in front of him, not those generals of the gendarmerie battalion, and couldn't help relaxing, but his voice was still loud, "Later, I kept training, and every time I returned to the bed, the whole person was like a puddle of mud, paralyzed on the bed, and I didn't even want to move a finger." However, the next day I had to go to training as usual. It's a hard time like this! But later, I slowly got used to this kind of life, and I gritted my teeth and survived until now! ”

When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Ji in amazement. The call was utterly smooth, and it really didn't look like he could say it at his age. Immediately said, "Well, that's a good thing to say, who taught you?" ”

Zhang Ji replied casually: "Qu Lang will teach me!" Suddenly, knowing that he had lost his words, he looked at Zhang Yunwen with fear on his face, for fear that Zhang Yunwen would slap him in the face.

Zhang Yunwen sneered, but did not pursue it, but said: "Since you know the pain of this training, don't be lazy in the future!" After two years, I'll take you back! ”

Zhang Ji was silent when he heard this.

Then, Zhang Yunwen talked to Zhang Ji about some interesting things in the barracks, and finally encouraged him again, and then left the barracks.

Before you know it, the day is about to pass again. Looking at the sun on the horizon like egg yolk, Zhang Yunwen sighed, it seems that he has not returned home since he entered Chang'an. I don't know what the situation is at home.

Before the red sun set over the horizon, Zhang Yunwen returned home.

At this time, Wang Yan had already gone to Wang Qu's mansion in Chang'an to take care of Wang Qu. And Li Yu and Zhirou were still on the way from Luoyang to Chang'an, and in the entire Guogong Mansion, except for Mei Xiang and a group of old people who had followed him very early, and the newly recruited servants, he didn't know much.

When he returned home, Mei Xiang heard the movement, ran out to take a look, and saw that it was Zhang Yunwen, and couldn't help but have a slightly red eye. After cleaning up her mood, Mei Xiang introduced Zhang Yunwen into the backyard, poured him a cup of tea, and said faintly: "Master, you are back!" ”

Listening to the thick resentment in Mei Xiang's mouth, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but smile bitterly, looking at Mei Xiang's pretty face and somewhat resentful eyes, he couldn't help but reach out and brush Mei Xiang's broken hair scattered on her sideburns to her ears.

Suddenly, Mei Xiang's pretty face turned red.

An ambiguous atmosphere permeated the room.

When Zhang Yunwen was a little baron, this Mei Xiang accompanied him and took care of his life meticulously. In the meantime, even Zhang Yunwen is a person who doesn't understand feelings, and he vaguely knows Mei Xiang's heart for him. But when he just understood, he got Li Shimin's marriage and married Li Yu. Later, Zhang Yunwen's mind gradually shifted to Li Yu's third daughter, ignoring Mei Xiang for a long time. Now, none of the three daughters in the family are there, whether it is Zhang Yunwen or Mei Xiang, the long-precipitated emotions are slowly released.

Just when Zhang Yunwen was a little at a loss, he only heard a crisp voice from a maid outside: "Master, master, the third lady is back!" ”

These words made Zhang Yunwen and Mei Xiang wake up at the same time, Mei Xiang hurriedly cleaned up her clothes, and then walked quickly into the inner hall, leaving Zhang Yunwen alone in the house in a daze.

A figure rushed into the room, but it was a petite woman. This woman is the Lingxiang who Zhang Yunwen ordered the mandarin duck spectrum and promised to Yang Shi. This Lingxiang entered the door and saw Zhang Yunwen, and repeated the words again: "Well, master, the third lady is here!" Oh no, no, someone was sent! ”

Zhang Yunwen coughed lightly, came back to his senses, and looked at Ling Xiang: "What? The Third Lady sent someone? Where are the people? ”

Na Lingxiang turned around and pointed: "Well, it's outside!" ”

"Then go and call him in!"

"Oh!" Ling Xiang answered, and was about to go outside, but suddenly turned around, looked at Zhang Yunwen, and hesitated for a long time before whispering, "Uh, that, master, has Xiaoshi come back to Chang'an?" ”

Zhang Yunwen chuckled: "No, but it's fast!" Xiao Shi and the eldest lady and the second lady came back to Chang'an together! Hmm, why are you still stunned, go and invite people in! ”

Ling Xiang jumped up and walked out of the room.

A moment later, a woman in a water-green shirt stepped into the room, but this person was the wife of the Wu family who Zhang Yunwen had rescued in Gong County.

"Sir!" Hearing this Wu family lady shouting crisply, Zhang Yunwen hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't call me like this, you are not my servant, you don't need to call me this title!" ”

Unexpectedly, the lady of the Wu family said: "The slave family has already signed a deed with the third lady and sold herself to the Zhang family for three years!" ”

Zhang Yunwen was stunned: "Why are you doing this?" Wouldn't it be better if you found a family member in Chang'an and remarried? ”

The lady of the Wu family shook her head, then changed the topic and said, "Master, the third lady is now on the Wang family's side, so it is inconvenient to come." Today, I heard that the master has returned to Chang'an, so I asked the slave family to come back here to see, if the master really comes back, I will report to her! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunwen waved his hand: "Forget it, I will also go to the Wang family with you!" Old Man Wang is also my elder, since he is sick in bed, of course I have to go and see it! ”

After saying this, Zhang Yunwen walked out first.

At this moment, Mei Xiang's voice came from inside the house: "Master, wait a minute!" ”

Zhang Yunwen looked back, but saw Mei Xiang running out of the inner room. When she came to Zhang Yunwen, Mei Xiang said: "Master, if you want to visit Old Man Wang, how can you go without gifts?" You wait at the door, and the slave family will prepare a gift! ”

Zhang Yunwen realized that he was in a hurry, how could he even forget this stubble.

When she slowly walked to the door of the mansion, Mei Xiang had already prepared a gift. Among the gifts, there are fresh tea leaves that only came out this year, thousand-year-old ginseng given by Li Shimin, and ritual utensils such as Yubi Yugui.

With so many gifts, Zhang Yunwen obviously couldn't get them, and besides, it was getting late at this time, and there was a curfew on the road, so he had to rush to Wang's house as soon as possible. Therefore, Zhang Yunwen decided to go in a carriage.

When Zhang Yun came to the Wang family's mansion in Chang'an by carriage, the lights had already begun to be turned on. Palace lamps were lit at various intersections, and oil lamps were lit in every house. The whole Chang'an candle flame is lit, like stars.

A half-moon moon hung in the sky, shedding a faint glow. The sparkling sound of the carriage disappeared, replaced by the sound of "bang" pounding clothes.

Chang'an is a month, and thousands of households pound clothes.

knocked on the vermilion door of the Wang family, and after a while, a doorman opened the door, saw that it was Zhang Yunwen, and called out in surprise: "Uncle, you are here!" ”

As he spoke, he opened the door and let Zhang Yunwen and the lady of the Wu family enter the mansion. As for the carriage, it was sent into the Wang family through the side door.

Under the guidance of the Wu family's lady, Zhang Yunwen came directly to a building in the backyard.

"This is where the old man lives. The third lady also lives next door to the old man! Not; Master, you can go up by yourself, and the slave family will not go with you! Outside the building, after the lady of the Wu family pointed out the way for Zhang Yunwen, she chuckled and left here. Only Zhang Yunwen was left looking at the two-story building alone.

Walking up the stairs, Zhang Yunwen walked on the somewhat dark stairs.

On the second floor, Zhang Yunwen came to the room guided by the lady of the Wu family and knocked on the door gently.

A moment later, the door opened, revealing a delicate face.

"Xianggong?!" Wang Yan asked in disbelief. But there was a deep joy in those eyes.

Zhang Yunwen raised the gift in his hand: "Hehe, I'm here to visit the old man!" ”
