Chapter 115: Once Again, I Was Ordered to Be in Danger
Mrs. Wang sent someone to invite, Zhang Zhuo happened to go out to study and solve the problem with a few people he knew a few days ago, and when he got home and learned the news of the two thunderbolts on a sunny day, it was already evening. Frustrated, he hurried to the British Mansion, only to see that the hall was already lit with bright lights, and it was full of people. casually beckoned a little guy to ask, and he learned that some of these people were cousins like him, some were cousins, some were in-laws of the Zhang family, and some were purely well-informed.
"Uncle, my wife has instructed, if you come, go directly to the flower hall, the second master, the second lady, the third master, and the third lady are all there."
Zhang Zhuo nodded, and immediately stopped looking at the noisy relatives in the hall, and hurriedly rushed to the flower hall through the hanging flower door. When he entered the half-gate, he went around the shadow wall and saw the three flower halls, and he heard two loud voices.
"Sister-in-law, it's useless to complain about the second sister-in-law at this time, things are already like this! Besides, the news of the eldest brother's illness will be known sooner or later, and it will come out at that time. Now what we want is to discuss a way, the eldest brother must have someone to take care of him, and the lady in this palace must also be taken care of. It is said that the eldest brother is like a father and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, you have to make up your mind at this time! ”
"Sister-in-law, since the eldest brother is sick, I will rush over with you immediately, and the affairs of this mother will be left to my wife and the third brother and sister, so that they will not even be unable to do this little thing. Without further ado, how about we get ready to leave the day after tomorrow? ”
This is clearly Zhang Hui and Zhang Xuan. Zhang Zuo heard the two brothers speak nicely, but they couldn't hide the intention in their hearts at all, and they couldn't help but feel disgusted. There was a bamboo curtain hanging at the door of the flower hall, and the people inside couldn't be seen clearly, and when he saw a young guy coming over, he asked, "Yue'er is inside?" ”
The little guy heard the argument and looked a little annoyed. At this time, as soon as Zhang Zuo asked, he replied without thinking: "Uncle came just in time, and Mrs. is alone!" The second and third masters saw that there was only Mrs. in our family now, and they robbed a lot of ugly words, and the younger master was in it, otherwise Mrs. was afraid that she would be overwhelmed by their battles. ”
A little guy can say this, and Zhang Zuo naturally knows that there is already a lot of trouble here. Thinking that he was just a lifter, Zhang Hui was the commander of the Shen Cewei, and Zhang Xuan was the commander of the Jinyi Guard. If he couldn't cope with any of them in normal times, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then stepped forward to lift the curtain and step into the threshold.
As Zhang Zhuo expected, a war of words has just been staged here. Zhang Hui and Zhang Hui made a fuss about brotherhood, and they saw that Mrs. Wang had no children, so they had nothing to fear. Both Mrs. Deng and Mrs. Wu were useless women, sitting there dumb and dumb, not daring to anger their husbands. I didn't dare to annoy Mrs. Wang, a rather shrewd eldest sister-in-law.
And Zhang Yue is a junior, most of the time he can only stand beside Mrs. Wang to remind him a little, and although Mrs. Wang is good at words and shrewd, she is already physically and mentally exhausted, where can she withstand such a wild bombardment. Therefore. When she saw Zhang Zhuo coming in, she immediately grabbed the last straw like the person who fell into the water.
"Brother Zo is back."
Zhang Zhuo first stepped forward to see Mrs. Wang, and then greeted Zhang Hui and Zhang Xuan and his wife one by one. He instinctively skimmed the look of contempt in his cousin's eyes, and when he sat down, he comforted, "I'm late to come back today. I just heard about Brother Fu and Zhang Niangniang. Sister-in-law, both sides are patients, and they can't do without people, in my opinion, it is better to let the second brother go to Beijing to visit the eldest brother Fu, and the sister-in-law and the third brother will stay in Beijing to take care of Zhang Niangniang. ”
Not to mention that Zhang Yue and Mrs. Wang didn't expect such a suggestion, even Zhang Hui and Zhang Xuan didn't expect it either. Everyone was silent for a while, and Zhang Hui suddenly slapped his face. Say it aloud: "That's what I said!" Everyone takes care of one of them, so they don't lose sight of one or the other! So, I'll go back and check it, and I'll take Bin'er to Beijing the day after tomorrow! ”
As if afraid of others' opposition, Zhang Hui glared at Mrs. Deng, and then the couple hurriedly left. As soon as they left, Zhang Ju also stood up and stared at Zhang Ju for a while without smiling. Only then did he say slowly: "I can't see that Brother Zhuo, you are suddenly so close to the second brother." It was a timely idea! I heard that you are going to take next year's entrance examination, and I really wish you the title of the gold list. The stars are shining! ”
Zhang Xuan especially accentuated his tone on the four words of Jixing Gaozhao, and immediately bowed slightly to Mrs. Wang with a cold snort, and then walked out of the flower hall without looking back. Mrs. Wu was caught off guard, hurriedly stood up and said goodbye to Mrs. Wang, and then hurriedly chased out. After a while, the flower hall that was still full of tension just now fell silent.
Mrs. Wang sat in a daze for a while and then sighed: "Brother Zhuo, you just want to use the strategy of delaying the army, and you shouldn't say such things." The two of them are waiting for me to let go, and now the second child is walking proudly, where can I stop him in two days! ”
Zhang Zhuo sighed helplessly, and then said with a straight face: "The matter has come to this, sister-in-law, please forgive me, since the news of Brother Fu's serious illness in Beijing is no longer covered, how can I stop them at this time?" No matter what their selfish intentions are, but the eldest brother is like a father, how can they stop them from rushing to take care of what is right? Now that Niangniang is seriously ill, I know that my sister-in-law has always treated Niangniang well, so she is naturally inseparable from it, but if you are worried about Brother Fu's condition, they will naturally have to go. ”
Mrs. Wang was still sighing, but Zhang Yue's eyes lit up and suddenly realized - this Zhang Yue is a selfish person, and he may be connected on weekdays, but at the critical moment, aren't his eyes all staring at the British dukedom? Since Zhang Hui has gone, Zhang Hui who stayed behind will naturally be resentful, so maybe there will be a little room for turnaround. But soon he thought of a most serious question, if the British public Zhang Fu is really not as long as the history books, if there is a case this time, then what should he do?
At this moment, Zhang Zhuo suddenly said something in a deep voice: "So, since my sister-in-law can't leave, even if I want to go to the second brother, I may not agree, so I plan to let Yue'er follow me to Beijing." After all, he is a junior, if he has a word from his sister-in-law, the second brother can't stop him, and he won't care about him. Although he is young, after all, he is not an ordinary child, and he can still manage if there is something. ”
Hear this. Mrs. Wang was stunned, and Zhang Yue didn't expect her father to have such an idea, so she stayed there for a while. After a long time, Mrs. Wang asked with a hesitant face: "Although Brother Yue is capable, he is still young after all, and the second brother is still his second cousin after all, if he is suppressed everywhere, he has nothing to do." Moreover. He will also take the township examination in August this year......"
"The township test was missed this time, and there will be a next time, but if the matter of the auxiliary brother is missed this time, maybe everyone will regret it too late!" Zhang Zhuo categorically interrupted Mrs. Wang's words, and asked Zhang Yue word by word, "Yue'er, since you arrived in the capital, you should know how your lobby treats you." Now you say to yourself, whether you will go to Beijing this time or not! ”
"Of course I'll go."
Zhang Yue burst out with such a sentence almost without thinking. Anyway. He has been in Beijing for more than half a year, and he has received a lot of favors from Zhang Fu and Mrs. Wang, and the two of them really treat him as a family member, and they have spared no effort to solve the matter of their eldest uncle Zhang Xin, which is grace; He had conflicts with Zhang Bin and Zhang Jin. The second cousin Zhang Hui also calculated him, this is the enemy. There is kindness to repay kindness, there is revenge to revenge, this time he should go no matter what. As for what township test. Anyway, he's still young, so he can wait for three years!
Zhang Zhuo was relieved in his heart, and when he saw Mrs. Wang's stunned face, he took a step back and made a deep gesture: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I want to assist the eldest brother to be a square person, and it is the best place to serve and stay at the top, and this God should also bless him!" ”
With Zhang Zhuodi's persuasion and Zhang Yue's statement, Mrs. Wang also made up her mind at the moment. He then instructed the family to pack up, and ordered the housekeeper to choose a proper person to accompany him. And Zhang Yue didn't have any other requirements, and the first one was to order Peng Thirteen. Because Peng Shisanben was one of Zhang Fu's henchmen, this request was naturally agreed to lightly and skillfully.
On this night, all the rooms were brightly lit all night, especially the threshold of Fang Heng Courtyard was almost broken. The concubines who had just received the information were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they rushed to see Mrs. Wang, but they were all reprimanded. So, I found out that Zhang Yue was going to Beijing. Women of different ages, different personalities, and different temperaments have sent henchmen over. Precious jewelry was sent from somewhere. Some lands sent precious silk and fur, while others directly sent gold and silver. Everyone has only one mind. That is, to make the British public Zhang Fu safe and secure at all costs.
Zhang Yue naturally understood their intentions. If Zhang Fu has a biological son, then if there is a case, their mothers may be able to spend their old age in peace. But now that there is none, the new owner enters the door the next day, and Mrs. Wang is still Mrs. Wang, they may be forced to be martyred, or they may simply have to suffer for the rest of their lives. Not to mention taking out the body that they have accumulated in their lives, or smashing the pot and selling iron, they will also pin their hopes on this trip to Beijing.
If this is the past, I love to watch so many good things sent over, I must have to check and discuss it, but at this time, I don't have time to look at those dazzling gold and silver jewelry, I just feel bitter. She is so happy by nature, not to mention sensitive amber.
Packing up her clothes and essential pills and stuff, Amber struggled not to glance at the gleaming gold and silver, but they stung her eyes at all times. In a wealthy family, does she really have a future?
Zhang Yue personally packed up some books that he had to bring with him - the Four Books and the Five Classics and the like are almost memorized backwards now, but he doesn't have to carry them, at this time, he just brought a few anthologies of the Tang and Song dynasties. There is one more thing that he will never forget, and that is the sword that Du Zhen left him at the beginning.
At this moment, he vaguely understood that Zhang Zuo did not try to go but called him to go - although he was not familiar with anyone who went to Beijing, he knew Du Zhen, knew Yang Rong, and had met the emperor and the emperor's grandson. At a time when things are far from clear, everything should be put to good use.
