Although the flood soaked caused a lot of losses to the Zhang family's mansion, it was mainly some household utensils, but it never really hurt the muscles and bones, so the plasterers were busy for more than half a month and then withdrew, and they were restored to a tidy place, and they could no longer see the embarrassment of the sewage and sludge everywhere that day. After the disaster, countless civilians lost their houses and land, and more and more people even sold themselves in the market, and the Zhang family had to accept a few more family members.

But these are all things that the housekeepers need to worry about, and the old ladies and ladies above are most concerned about the situation in the capital. Zhang Xin's ten-year career is cold, and if it is wasted because of this flood, this is naturally something that no one wants to see. No matter how jealous the two-bedroom and three-bedroom are of the long house that is thriving in the capital on weekdays, they are also worried at this time.

As a result, the punishment of the younger generation has long been forgotten by everyone. Rao is like this, the matter was decided by the Gu family himself, and no one dared to disobey the yin. Although there were no outsiders at this time, Zhang Chao, who was kneeling in the ancestral hall, was grinning and twisting his teeth, and he didn't dare to move his hands and feet casually after all, at most he just rubbed his stiff knees and sighed.

"Big brother!"

Suddenly hearing this voice from behind, Zhang Chao couldn't help but turn his head, and saw that it was Zhang Yuedeng's face that was surprised. Seeing the third brother tiptoeing in with a food box in his hand, he hurriedly looked around for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Aren't you here in the post, why did you come here?" ”

Zhang Yue smiled nonchalantly, then lifted the lid on the food box, and said indifferently: "Isn't it twenty character stickers?" Yesterday afternoon, I got up early in the morning and rushed for a while, and I had already finished writing it by now. This is the beef soup and roast chicken that have just been made in the kitchen, as well as the cabbage rolls, you are expected to have a hard time in the past three days, and you have so much strength to eat. ”

Zhang Chao stared at the roast chicken and beef soup and salivated, and his stomach was hungry all of a sudden. He knelt down for a day yesterday, and although others didn't have the heart to starve him and treat him badly, it was true that he didn't care about things outside. Glancing at Zhang Yue gratefully, he quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands vigorously, and this was like a whirlwind. After a while, even the roast chicken with beef soup, plus four cabbage rolls were all in his stomach, and he burped loudly and wiped his mouth contentedly.

"Still third brother, you remember me, I have been kneeling here for more than a day, except for the Liu Pozi who delivered the food, no one else came to look at me. The second brother is grounded, but the mother and the eldest sister didn't come, alas! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Chao couldn't help but hang his head and sigh, thinking that this time he really annoyed his mother and affected the eldest sister, so they didn't come?

"Don't think nonsense, now the whole family is worried about the eldest uncle, so everyone can't take care of you. Horizontal and vertical is three days, big brother, you will pass after a while, if I have time, I will often come to see you. ”

Zhang Yue saw that Zhang Chao had a posture of drilling the horns, and quickly comforted him. Thinking that although he has never been grounded now, he can't be too ostentatious, so he accompanied Zhang Chao for a conversation, and he packed up his things and returned the same way. But before he got out of the ancestral hall and arrived at the courtyard gate, he coincidentally bumped into a person head-on, and he was not embarrassed.

"Spirit...... Sister ......"

Lingxi glanced at the food box in Zhang Yue's hand, and then looked at the small and delicate dim sum box in his hand, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "The slave maid also thought that the old lady had just ordered the master under the kitchen to make some Jiangnan dim sum, so she brought some to the eldest young master. ”

"I'm just worried that everyone has forgotten about the eldest brother these days, but I don't know that Sister Lingxi has other arrangements." At this time, Zhang Yue finally said the word sister smoothly, and when he saw Lingxi laughing dumbly, he took the opportunity to ask, "By the way, does my sister know what happened to my eldest uncle?" ”

"This is a matter discussed by the old ladies and wives, how do the slaves and maids know?" Lingxi has been using the same answer to prevaricate the people who inquired about the news these days, but at this time, seeing Zhang Yue's eyes looking at her, she hesitated for a moment and then smiled, "This time the matter is all done by the third master outside, and the young master should also ask the third master if he wants to ask." ”

Zhang Yue suddenly had a bitter face - Zhang Zhuo went out early when he got up in the past two days, but Zhang Zhuo hadn't come back when he fell asleep, who did he ask to inquire? Mother Sun didn't know anything, and he didn't know what to do, so that he didn't have a letter in his heart.

"Okay, okay, the third young master should hurry back, otherwise it will be bad if the girl's daughter-in-law bumps into it, after all, the other three young masters are honestly staying in their respective places at this time."

Coaxed out of the courtyard by Lingxi like a child, Zhang Yue simply returned to his room in the west courtyard, instructed Qiu Zhen to pack up twenty posters and followed, and went straight to the main room. However, his baba's trip was empty, grandmother Gu was not there at all, Dongfang said to be at home looking at Zhang Qi, Feng and Sun were listening to the housekeeper's daughters-in-law in the small council hall, the main room of the people in the past was empty, only a few little girls who had not left their heads were busy cleaning and dusting.

Thinking that even if someone came back for a while, most of them would be Lingxi, and he didn't bother to stay here, so he casually called a little girl to come over and leave the twenty notes down, and he didn't care whether she understood it or not, so he walked out of the main room with autumn marks. Bypassing the marble shadow wall, he walked out of the moon gate and stepped into the corridor, but he suddenly remembered something.

He wasn't grounded, and although he couldn't wander around the house, he went to Mr. Du to ask for advice, right?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue immediately sent Qiu Zhen to go back alone, and he hurriedly went out of the Yimen, and then found Lian Sheng Lianhu, and then took a car from the south courtyard to Du's house.

Because Mr. Du, the pioneer of the Zhang family, did not rush out with a few juniors, but took people to a safe place like Daxiangguo Temple to protect them, so after the water receded, Gu ordered someone to prepare a generous gift, and sent someone to clean and renovate Du Zhen's small courtyard from the inside out. At this moment, the clean and tidy courtyard of the Du family stands out in a messy house, and it looks like it stands out from the crowd.

After entering the door, seeing Du Zhen's two scholars counting the books, Zhang Yue glanced at Lian Sheng and Lian Hu, and told them to go up to help, and he went straight into the back room. After seeing the ceremony, he saw that Du Zhen seemed to be writing, so he stepped forward and found that it was a painting in the middle hall, and Du Zhen was inscribed with a small poem next to it.

"Sir, this painting is ......"

"Last time, Xiao Shen invited me to Nanjing, I didn't agree, but I can't say that there is nothing at all, this painting is for him." Du Zhen put the last stroke on the paper, put the pen aside, and seriously swept the scroll for a while, but said without raising his head, "The Shen family brothers are certainly talented, but they were called into the secret pavilion for that good handwriting." Therefore, in addition to reading, you also have to put more effort into learning calligraphy. ”

Regarding Du Zhen's lessons as a teacher and a passerby, Zhang Yue would not slack off, and hurriedly bowed down to agree. But he really didn't come to ask for teaching today, but it seemed a little inappropriate to talk about the affairs of the family so rashly, he thought about it for a long time, and finally said that his uncle Zhang Xin was impeached.

However, Du Zhen did not talk about things in general, and after a while of muttering, he said something else: "Emperor Taizu abolished the Zhongshu Province and respected the six departments, so the six Shangshu Shilang had a respected status in the court. However, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War are the most important places, but the Ministry of Industry is in charge of the camp and water control, etc., which is the most cumbersome. ”

Zhang Yue's heart suddenly became as transparent as a mirror, but thinking about his identity as a child, he could only nod as if he didn't understand, and then asked pretending to be surprised: "What does Mr. mean that this time the eldest uncle will be fine?" ”

"The previous leader was Song Li Song Shangshu, he has a lot of experience in water control, and the river will be dredged under his auspices, and this political achievement alone is immeasurable. As for his first visit, Jiang Shilang and your eldest uncle came to Kaifeng, it was just to dredge the old channel of the Yellow River to kill the water potential, so that the Yellow River would not endanger Cao Yun, and he did not really come to repair the embankment. This time, the three of them probably reprimanded a few words and punished some money, so as not to hurt their muscles and bones. ”

That's good!

Zhang Yue finally let out a long sigh, thinking that it was really not a good thing to be an errand boy for the imperial court these years, but he had to take a lot of responsibility with a meager salary, and his head was pinned to the waistband of his pants. However, he himself did not find out that he accepted Mr. Du's judgment almost without thinking about it, and did not even have any doubts at all.

Five days later, when the letter from the British official Zhang Fu from the capital arrived, the dark clouds hanging over the heads of the Zhang family masters finally dissipated—although there was a slight punishment, Zhang Xin was only a penalty, and he continued to supervise the repair of Haitang in Zhejiang.

In addition to the Zhou Wangfu, the Xiangfu Zhang family is still the first door in Henan Province. However, will the clouds that gathered in that moment really dissipate and disappear again?

The first volume of "Boy's Walk" is over, and the second volume of "Family Changes" will be updated from tomorrow

PS: I saw that some people in the book review area said that it was fake, and it was normal for the novel to be fake, but when I saw the reason, I was happy. Women are very important in large families, but in feudal society, there are no men who work hard as officials outside, how can women have status in the family? Why can Changfang stand tallest, isn't it because the boss Zhang Xin is the right waiter of the Ministry of Works? As for the second eldest Zhang You, a heavy military general in the Yongle era, he fought on the Jiaozhi side, and his wife and children certainly had a status in the Zhang family. Besides, when do I let women do whatever they want, isn't this when the man happens to be absent......

Okay, don't be verbose, code words go, and ask for tickets by the way when you leave, thank you
