Chapter 748: The Old Thing Has Become the New Thing

Three thatched halls behind Guangxiao Temple.

Lingxi and Qiuji both asked for a sign auspicious lottery, and they were all very happy, and Mrs. Li, who was traveling with her, asked for the lottery, although there were some regrets, but the sign was finally satisfactory. Sun begged Du Juan and Amber together, but both of them shook their heads and shirked it. So, Zhang Zhuo only showed one side and didn't know where to go, she naturally set her eyes on Zhang Yue, who she thought had always been "full of disasters and difficulties".

couldn't resist his mother, Zhang Yue had to step forward and shake the stick, and prayed silently in his heart. After a while, a bamboo stick fell from the stick holder to the ground with a thud. Before he could bend down, the Sun family on the side personally stepped forward to pick it up, squinted his eyes in his hand and looked at it carefully, and read in a low voice: "Twentieth sign, Su Wu Aid Guandian is a vassal country, go up." ”

As soon as Sun saw these two words, he was overjoyed. Guangneng on the side had to greet him with a few words, and motioned to Xiao Shami to get the signature. Soon, the little novice came over with a note, and Sun hurriedly motioned for Du Juan to take it, and asked her to read it and listen to it.

"When the spring rain is long, the jade rabbit and the golden crow gradually brighten. The old thing has become a new thing, look at it and jump into Pengying. ”

As soon as Du Juan finished reading, the monk on the side said with a smile: "Congratulations to Uncle Fang, this long rain and early sunny omen is a great auspicious sign, and everything can be done by the Lord!" No matter what difficulties Master Fang had in front of him, it was just a ditch that could be jumped over. And after doing this, the road will be more open in the future, and there will be no embarrassment! ”

Looking at these four sentences repeatedly, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be pleased that these few words were indeed the center, and a smile naturally appeared on his face. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yu on the side each looked at the future sign they were asking for their husbands in their hands, and when they looked at Zhang Yue, they couldn't help but be extremely hot, and they couldn't help but flatter and compliment. When they got out of the cottage, everyone wrote a stroke on the incense book one by one, and Guang Neng squinted at the side, although it was a pity that the couplets in front of the Tianwang Palace were still not settled, but the three incense money of the three divisions of the yamen made him feel very beautiful.

When leaving Guangxiao Temple, Mrs. Li, who had just passed her fortieth birthday, thanked Sun and Du Wan for her kindness: "My master said, if it weren't for Lord Zhang's reminder, he would have made a big mistake this time!" This great favor is to say that there is no way to thank a thousand words and ten thousand, so he only has one sentence, that is, as long as he is in Guangdong for a day, he will listen to Lord Zhang's day! ”

"Madame is serious, what don't you listen to, he's still young, so he naturally needs someone to help him." Although Sun was extremely happy in her heart, she naturally did not forget her humble words, "If Madame is idle, even if she comes to the official mansion to sit, everyone will have a companion!" ”

When she was forty years old, Duan's thought that she had the highest grade, and she didn't care about Sun's mother's life, but now her husband was almost unlucky, and he told her a thousand times. After all, my aunt is a well-informed person who has always stayed in a big place, so please mention me more in the future. ”

She said and smiled at Du Juan: "My sister might as well come to me to sit there, although they are all rough people like me, but we rough people don't have so many twists and turns, and it is the best to relieve boredom!" ”

It had always been Mrs. and Mrs. Young Lady who had been screaming like that before, but at this time, the title of aunt and sister suddenly appeared, and Du Juan couldn't help but glance at Sun. Seeing that the corners of her mother-in-law's mouth seemed to twitch a little, she forced a smile and agreed. Seeing that this noble lady who had eyes on the top of her head before turned around to talk to Lingxi Autumn Scar Amber again, she gently grabbed Sun's arm, and while helping him into the carriage, she laughed in a low voice: "Mother, you now have a niece and a second-grade lady." ”

"What's the matter, I'm so old?" Sun is now forty-five, and because of proper maintenance, he looks very young, so after listening to Du Juan's jokes at this time, she couldn't help muttering, "How can there be such a random recognition of seniority!" ”

Zhang Zuo didn't want to meet these noble ladies, so he got into the car one step earlier, and he heard the words just now. At this time, helping his wife to sit in the carriage, he couldn't help but smile and said: "In the future, the more you become an official, the bigger you will be, and your rank will become higher and higher." If Mrs. Li calls you sister, she will consider herself his elder. It's naturally okay to change it to before, but now Li Dushuai still needs Yue'er to say a few more good words for him, where can he still be so big? ”

Seeing that Sun sighed, but her face was full of happy smiles, Du Juan didn't know that she was actually happy, and hurriedly lowered the curtain. At this time, it was Mrs. Yu who stepped forward to say goodbye in person, and she had to speak patiently, but this noblewoman who was older than the Duan family pulled her with a lot of emotion. When the two passers-by of Du Si and Zhen Si left, she finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and saw that Lingxi and Qiuji got into the last special carriage one after another, and she boarded the car with Amber, and as soon as she went up, she saw Zhang Yue's smiling face.

"This time, you and your mother are both elders! The eldest son in Li Long's family is almost thirty years old, and when the time comes, I have to call you an aunt, and I have to call my mother a grandmother! Seeing Du Juan glaring at him fiercely, and Amber also covering his mouth and snickering beside him, he raised his hand and smiled, "Okay, okay, this is a relative that others recognize, and it's none of our business, but there is one thing I learned that you will do." Sister Wan, from today onwards, I have two more students, and you are a real teacher. ”

The title of Shi Niang made Du Juan suddenly think of his mother Qiu, and he couldn't help but be in a trance for a while, and then immediately woke up, frowned and asked, "Are you talking about Li Guoxiu and Rui Yixiang?" You have been cultivating and reminding them, in fact, you have already been half a student, but now that you have set the status of teacher and student, others will not only say that you are a good teacher, but they will also be laughed at. ”

"It's a joke, and if they hadn't made the decision, they wouldn't have opened their mouths. Two more students will give you two more helpers in the future. By the way......" Zhang Yue paused, suddenly looked at Du Juan and asked, "In the past few months, it seems that I have only received a letter from Mr.?" ”

Du Juan had long been accustomed to Zhang Yue's sometimes father-in-law and sometimes Mr. title, and he didn't bother to make fun of him at this time, so he nodded and said: "There is indeed only one letter, and my father said that the road to Guangdong is too far away, and it is inconvenient to send letters by post, if there is no major event, he will not write letters." Now that he is a minister, you are a feudal official, after all, you are no longer a simple teacher and student. ”

"Alas, on the contrary, there are more letters from Yang Ge Lao and the two Mr. Shen, I really don't know how Mr. is doing now, that guy is also hateful, when he writes a letter, he only shows off the interesting things about him and Xiao Wu, and he sends letters from afar to say this!"

Zhang Yue has only been in office in Guangdong for half a year, and Yang Shiqi has written several letters before and after, all of which are teachings from his elders, and the situation in the DPRK and China is often just the finishing touch. The letter of Shen Du and Shen Cang is to discuss the way of calligraphy with him, and at the end there is always poetry and harmony. In addition, it was Gu Bin of Beijing's Wanshijie, Sun Han of Nanjing, and Xia Ji, who was transferred to Taizhou Mansion, who sent a letter.

Now that Lian Sheng and Lianhu are in Beijing, although Zhang Yue also has two servants from the family acting as scholars, after all, the time with him is too short, and the correspondence and so on are all amber sorting, and Du Juan is in charge. And if it was a letter from those familiar colleagues in the capital, he didn't have time to reply to them one by one, often just dictated a rough idea, and Fang Jing and the three of them replied on their behalf. Speaking of this at this time, Amber hesitated for a moment and then mentioned: "Young Master, this time you went to Guangdong, others have written letters, but the young master of the Fang family seems to have no news. ”

Speaking of Fang Ling, Zhang Yue's face suddenly darkened. Although he is very popular, there are actually only a few friends who really know each other, among them, Fangling's situation is the most ups and downs. Countless sons and daughters of Xun Gui have entered the Jinyi Guard, the eldest uncle Zhang Xin and the third uncle Zhang Xuan are still holding the military positions of the Jinyi Guard, but they don't care about the detectives, but Fang Ling is also in charge of the Jinyi Guard commander of the Beizhen Fusi. Thinking that Yuan Fang was like a thief when he interacted with their father and son at the beginning, how could Fang Ling treat him like before?

So, he had to sigh and say: "The past cannot be traced, and he also has his difficulties." ”

Zhang Yue got off the car in front of the gate of the Yamen of the Political Secretary, and watched the carriage of his family detour to the back of the official house, and then he planned to enter the door. Before he stepped into the threshold, an errand reported that Zhang Qian had just sent someone to invite him. So, he hurriedly ordered Xiang Shaoyuan to take care of the affairs of the noon hall for the time being, and hurried to the Shibo Mansion on Wu'an Street in Yaozhou.

As soon as he saw someone, he didn't have time to greet him, so Zhang Qian said bluntly: "Dongchang sent the news quickly, because Jinyiwei has already reported the matter, plus you have searched for important things from the Xu family, it is said that the inspectors of Guizhou and Yunnan have sued Gu Xingzu, so the emperor was very angry, and he had just ordered someone to come to Guangzhou to investigate the matter thoroughly." One is Yu Qian, the superintendent of the imperial history recommended by Gu Zuo, the capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, and the other is the commander of the Empress Dowager. Based on the day I get the news, they will be there in two or three days. Not only them, but Liu Sheng, the Marquis of Anyuan, came down personally, and the soldiers of Guangxi were temporarily led by him. ”

Amber had only mentioned Fang Ling before, and when he heard the name again, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and when he heard it, he sent Anyuan Hou Liusheng to replace Gu Xingzu in charge of the army, and Zhang Yue immediately understood that Gu Xingzu would still have to come to Guangzhou at that time.

It seems that Gu Xingzu lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot. If he hadn't sent someone to Qiongzhou Mansion, he would just have spent time fighting in the ring with us, and he would have made a desperate gamble and made things like this! ”

"I gave him a chance, but he was stubborn and used himself to score a win, so it's no wonder that others!"

Zhang Qian is not easy to grudge with people in the palace, everyone thinks he is a good man, who knows that as soon as he comes out, he will bump into such a thing, bump into such a person, he also feels depressed in his heart, and waved his hand with a cold snort and said: "Anyway, people have to wait for two days, let's talk about Qiongzhou Mansion first." Jixiang, Master Zhang is already here, why don't you come out quickly? ”

With this call, Zhang Yue saw the blue-green crepe curtain on the side move slightly, and a figure flashed out quickly, bending down deeply to salute, it was Cao Jixiang. Seeing that the shoes and trouser legs on his feet were still stained with stars and mud, and he looked like a dusty man, only his face seemed to have been wiped, but seeing that he was darker and thinner than before, he said gently: "I have worked hard for you this time." ”

Zhang Qian had already said these two words of hard work before, with the same tone and the same expression, Cao Jixiang couldn't help but feel more and more flattered, and hurriedly said: "The little one just obeys the order, and he doesn't dare to bow." If it weren't for the fact that the adults happened to send Brother Zhang there on a business trip, he would have invited many members of the Qiu family to help, and he would not have been able to take the dozen or so personal soldiers of the Gu family. ”

Knowing that Zhang Yue had only learned some news about Qiongzhou Mansion from himself before, but it was not detailed enough after all, Zhang Qian motioned for Cao Jixiang to sit down and asked him to tell him the truth about what happened after arriving at Qiongzhou Mansion. Although he had just reported to Zhang Qian on 1510 before, the fatigue of rushing for days was still coming up in bursts, but Cao Jixiang still lifted his spirits, drinking strong tea that was almost bitterer than medicine, and talking about every detail after arriving at Qiongzhou Mansion, and almost repeating every sentence that everyone said. By the time he had finished everything without missing a beat, it had already been an hour.

Seeing that Cao Jixiang's eyes were blue and his face was tired, Zhang Yue already knew what he should know, Zhang Qian had to give him a few more words of encouragement and praise, and then sent him to rest. As soon as the person left, he said to Zhang Yue: "I didn't expect to pick up such a person sent by Wang Jin before leaving, but in the end, it was not small. Listen to what he said, if he hadn't been alert and had brought in more than 20 of the most skilled archers in the Inspection Division, even if he could keep those people, the only remaining few members of the Qiu family would have been lost, and at that time, you and I would not have been able to treat the British public transport. is a talent, but it can be cultivated more in the future. ”

Cultivating Cao Jixiang? This is the only eunuch in the history of the Ming Dynasty who has really conspired against him and wants to be the emperor?

The more Zhang Yue thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, but then he skipped the matter. Whether it is a hero or a traitor, what is needed is the current situation, if the time and the situation are not available, then there is no ambition to talk about. Thinking that every link related to Gu Xingzu had been carefully considered, he gently patted the handrail next to him.

"Although the Qiongzhou Mansion has temporarily stabilized, I am afraid that the future trouble will not be small, and I am afraid that I will have to go after the Qin mission comes. The next thing is to wait for the Chincha, but there is no need to wait. The statutes of the official tooth bank have been sent before, which means that the valuation and taxation on the wharf should be gradually on the right track. Therefore, in the past few days of waiting, it is time for the maritime merchant's quotation survey to be sent, so I will ask Gonggong Zhang to preside over it. Like the original Ningbo Bo Division, a total of 20 sheets. Didn't Xia Shangshu in the middle of the dynasty set up a banknote gate to stabilize the value of banknotes? This time, it happened to be the merchants who wanted to pay a deposit of 3,000 yuan each, and then bid for it. By the way, what's the news of the treasure ship? ”

Zhang Qian remembered another important event at this time, and immediately laughed: "I almost forgot to tell you that the treasure ship has passed through Shandong and is heading to Liujiagang, as long as it rests for a few days, it can go south." Now the sea breeze is just right, if everything goes well, you can stop at Guangzhou Port in a month. It's just that although our wharf has been renovated, it is still reluctant to stop so many ships, so we can only let them enter the port for shipment. Their visit to Japan this time can be said to have yielded a lot of gains, not only did Japan kill 24 Japanese in one fell swoop, but also pleaded guilty for not accepting envoys before, and also opened a port for trade! ”
