Chapter 402: Heartwarming

I haven't slept for several days, and after getting the emperor's orders, I immediately took the imperial horse guards out of Beijing to hurry, so I survived so much that Zhang Yue forgot the letter handed over by Zhu Ning as soon as possible. As soon as Yang Shiqi left, he hurriedly looked for him. Fortunately, he had only changed the robe on the outside, but the clothes on the inside were still the same, and he quickly found the crumpled letter. He took out the letterhead from the envelope and glanced at the ten lines, and found that it was Wu'er, and it was in the same tone as his father's gossip in the past, and he couldn't help but feel more cordial, but he was stunned when he saw the last few paragraphs.

"Although Ying Tianfu does not have the name of Jingshi in the future, the wealth of South Zhili is far better than that of North Zhili, and Jingshi has your grandmother and second uncle, so I still want to stay in Jiangnan to operate. Nowadays, the big households in Jiangnan are using sugar, although no one knows the method now, but this party can not be kept secret for a lifetime, and it is very profitable, Jiangnan silk and cotton cloth is a must in the world, and this is often profitable. If the business is successful, it is not a problem to get millions of banknotes in three years - now the silver ban is tightening, the copper money is not enough, the treasure money is cheap, and the people are in trouble.

Now Liu Da has arrived in Nanjing from Fujian, saying that Fujian's affairs are all ready, and he no longer needs to take care of it. On the way to Nanjing, he met two Zisha masters who were forced to leave their hometowns, and they became friends because of their words and deeds, and asked me to take them in after arriving in Nanjing. The two said that Yixing purple sand is famous all over the world, and purple sand pottery is famous for all generations, but ordinary craftsmen have craftsmanship and no charm. This is not profitable, so I laughed and said that they were the cause of it, but it was as good as it could be.

In the land of Jiangnan Plaster, the taxes are becoming heavier, the income from purchasing land is very small, and it is taboo for large households to occupy too much land. I have a low salary for officials, you have to be a clean official, and you must keep it to the point of rising in the future, and you must not use money, so I have purchased all the properties, and I have found a safe shopkeeper to manage it, and you don't have to worry about the money. But you might as well pay more attention to your uncle's affairs, Jiaozhi is not a good place, if he can be transferred, even in Hainan Lingnan. Your mother has already taken your sister north to Beijing, you might as well keep them for a while longer, don't make her suspicious. If she really doesn't feel at ease, I simply sent Hongluan to take your brother to Beijing. ”

Purple sand has no rustic atmosphere, and it is better for making tea than porcelain pots, copper pots, and tin pots. Zhang Yue suddenly thought of this truth, but even if he realized that the purple clay pot was so good that a good craftsman was rare, he didn't take it to heart - the master who made the spring pot all over the world had not yet been born! Thinking about his father's straightforward reminders, cordial instructions, and especially the last half-truth complaint, he couldn't help but feel a heartfelt warmth in his heart, which had been tossed in a mess in the past few days.

Having a father like this really saves the boss's heart!

Now it is the end of the lunar month, which was originally the least traveler season of the year, but because the canal is frozen and the land route is not smooth, and there are a large number of officials who go to Beijing with the East Palace, so the inns of the entire Dezhou City are almost full. As a result, it was difficult for this newcomer to find a place to stay.

Sun took his daughter and seven or eight retinue families to the north by boat, but unfortunately they were blocked in Texas. Knowing that the canal was very likely to be frozen until next year, the group had to brave the snow to go ashore to stay in Texas City, and the result was that every place was full, and it was not easy to even think of renting houses for private houses - the reason was very simple, those good houses were requisitioned by Texas officials, and all of them were vacated for the accommodation of the accompanying civil and military officials. In desperation, Sun had no choice but to choose a restaurant to rest temporarily, and asked a young man about the residence of the accompanying official, intending to go to the old friends he knew.

Although she used extra money, because there were too many people in Texas City now, the man just used a screen to separate a small compartment at the corner and set up two square tables, and the dishes and snacks were served very quickly. However, the upstairs was extremely noisy, with both the high-minded talk of the lifters and the chatter and laughter of ordinary people, and there was even everything to say. The guy saw that the ladies here were all silk and satin, and the subordinates were all neatly cleaned up, so he didn't dare to slack off in the answer.

"This grandmother, the accompanying officials are all arranged by the yamen to live, such as Lord Yang, several bachelors of the Hanlin Academy and several officials of the East Palace live in West Street, which is also the number one Chen family in our Dezhou City. The accompanying Taifu Temple, Guanglu Temple, and Dali Temple several high-ranking officials of Jiuqing all live in Wushui Bridge, which is one street away from us. But several of the nobles lived in the palace, because His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun was sick, and the palace was several times more heavily guarded. I heard that early this morning, the imperial court also sent an adult to bring his own army to welcome the East Palace, and all the officials of our Texas rushed to the palace, and just came back in the evening! ”

Zhang Jing is still young, and she has long felt bored and panicked when she took the boat all the way, and at this time, listening to this guy's words, she couldn't help but look at him curiously, and then clapped her hands and said: "Mother, there are people in the world who can talk faster than the fifth sister!" ”

Sun was still having a headache where to stay at night, and when he heard Zhang Jing's childish words, he suddenly said a few words to her. Seeing that the guy was not only embarrassed but very proud, she couldn't help but laugh secretly, and asked, "I heard that most of the waterways are hopeless now, when will this land route be taken?" ”

"Looking at the appearance of this snowy day, I'm afraid it's hard to say." The guy shook his head, and then explained, "I heard that those military masters from the capital took a long detour, and it took four days to get here day and night, and the road was extremely difficult to walk. At noon, when a few people from the yamen came over for dinner, they also said that the leader Zhang had not closed his eyes for four days and four nights in order to hurry, and now there were no outsiders in sight. Tsk, I heard that Master Zhang is already a fifth-grade official before he is twenty, he is really envious! ”

Less than twenty? Five-grade officials?

Without waiting for Sun to speak, Zhang Jing's nurse hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask who that Master Zhang is?" ”

"Who else, isn't it the one who is extremely favored by the emperor? In Qingzhou, a lot of heads were cut off in Jiangnan! ”

As soon as she heard this, Zhang Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately stepped forward and grabbed Sun's hand. Sun didn't expect to meet Zhang Yue here, so he was surprised and hurriedly ordered someone to reward the guy with money. As soon as he walked on the front foot, she couldn't help but think about it in her heart, but she still had a headache when she thought about it. Her son is in the palace, can she go up to the palace to find someone?

"Mother, mother! Since my brother is here, is my sister-in-law also here? I want to kill her! ”

"It's your dad who spoiled you, don't make a mess! Don't you hear that your brother didn't sleep with his eyes closed for four days and four nights? Sun glared at Zhang Jing angrily, this time it was genuine, "When you return to Beijing, you have to follow the rules in every move, and your grandmother must not be sloppy at all, otherwise you will not only lose the face of me and your father, but also the face of your brother and sister-in-law!" ”

After scaring her daughter fiercely, she instructed the housekeeper sent by Zhang Zhuo this time, Cui Jiugong, who had recently married Pearl: "After you finish eating, go to Lord Yang to post a post first, explain our identity, and ask where Yue'er is now placed." When he leaves the palace, we can try to find him. ”

Due to the improvement of the imperial grandson's condition, when Yang Shiqi returned to Dezhou City from the palace this night, even his steps were much lighter. When he returned to his residence, he learned that Zhang Yue's mother and sister had set off from Nanjing, and now they happened to be in Texas, and they had just asked someone to post a post, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and after asking about the situation, he pondered. Thinking that Texas was now overcrowded, and the mother and daughter of the Zhang family were very likely to have no place to live, he simply ordered the housekeeper Yang Zhong to bring two proper people to pick them up.

With Yang Shiqi's help, the Sun family finally got rid of the dilemma that the family had no place to live, however, when she learned that her son Zhang Yue did not live outside, but temporarily lived in the palace, she couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and only after listening to Yang Shiqi's brief explanation did she understand what happened. Although she is just a woman's family, she still knows the severity, so naturally she will not force her to meet at this time.

When she returns to Beijing, will she not be able to see her son?

After running around on the road for four days and four nights, coupled with the previous Jingshi rebellion, Zhang Yue slept dimly this night, and when he woke up, he found that he was already lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, and even his underwear had completely changed. Racking his brain, he couldn't remember how he had moved it, so he simply put all these thoughts aside, and tried to sit up with his hands. This is not tried, not tight, just a movement, he felt as if his whole body was falling apart, not only the bones around his body were sore, but also the two strands worn out during the ride were also painful, and he couldn't help moaning.

"Lord Zhang, you're awake!"

Yesterday, the little eunuch quickly stepped forward, and saw that Zhang Yue's facial features were wrinkled, and he hurriedly smiled: "Yesterday, you slept on the kang covered with a blanket and clothes, and the little one was afraid that you would catch a cold, so he ordered someone to wipe your body and change your clothes, and gave medicine to your injuries. It's late in the morning, so don't worry if you want to sleep for a while. ”

Faced with this dilemma of pain everywhere in his body, although Zhang Yue wanted to lie down again, his stomach was rumbling uncontrollably, and he could only wave his hand with difficulty. Thinking that yesterday the crown princess Zhang also said that she would go to Zhu Zhanji to help write the fold, but now he can't even lift his hand, he can only smile bitterly. After washing, someone brought breakfast, but it was a big pot of porridge, hungry and hungry, he drank two large bowls in one go, and when he wanted to serve it again, he was stopped, so he had to let the imperial doctor who had just arrived take his pulse, and then helplessly accepted the fact that he was covered with plasters.

He still can't compare to the hardships of those sergeants!

Three days later, when Zhang Yue finally appeared in front of Zhu Zhanji, the imperial grandson, who had been ill for more than ten days, was already able to barely go to the ground. Seeing Zhang Yue's face that was even more bitter than Coptis chinensis, he couldn't help but think that Huang Run had put a plaster on Zhang Yue's body like a patch by the imperial doctor, and suddenly laughed: "I originally thought you were beaten with iron, but the result was the same as me!" Can you still hold a pen? If you can, take out the pen you used to report the safety of the British Duchess, and report the safety of the imperial grandfather for me! ”

"The emperor is sent by the grandson, and the minister's wrist can be called even if it is broken."

Seeing that Zhang Yue said miserably, but with a smile on his face, Zhu Zhanji knew that he was just joking, and immediately said with a smile: "It's just a family letter, you can support it, I don't want to let Hanlin Bachelor ghostwrite this." Besides, I've done you a great favor. Your mother and your sister happened to be in Texas, and now they are at Yang Shiqi's, and my mother and I mentioned that you should be able to see people when you go back later. ”
