Chapter Eighty-Four: Debunking
Du Zhen's house is opposite the original Zhongshan Wangfu on Xufu Street, and Yang Shiqi's house is only one street away from Du's house, that is, at the west end of Gongyuan Street. Since Yang Shiqi is a cabinet minister, he does not have much contact with the officials of the six ministries, and most of the people who move around frequently are pure civil officials and students. And he was originally famous for his learning, every time he was on a scientific expedition, there were not a few students who tried to deliver ink scrolls here, but he was upright and impartial, but he never had dozens of more disciples.
Although this day is cold, the weather is good, and the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month is approaching, the streets and alleys are also quite lively, the lanterns hung at the door of Yang's mansion last night have not been removed, and at this time the housekeeper Yang Zhong is directing two servants to pick up the lanterns. In a few moments, several young men had already arrived. He smiled and saluted one by one, and was quite happy for his master in his heart.
The old man is simple by nature and does not love money, but he likes those talented people who take the initiative to ask for advice. It is said that there is also an old friend disciple who is going to come to the door today, and I don't know how good that young man is, but he can actually work his own master to take the table words himself, which is very rare. Thinking about it, he forgot about the purpose of removing the lantern, and stuck out his head and looked out again.
At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the other side of the alley. After a short time, I saw a black horse galloping without a trace of stray hair and stopped in front of the gate. As soon as the black horse stopped, a young man in a rain-soaked shirt and a blue velvet cloak jumped off his horse, and then came up with a smile.
Yang Zhong has already seen four or five students today, including Anbu as a car, some in a two-person sedan chair, and some on horseback - but the horseback rider entered this alley most likely to ride a horse and walk slowly, and when he got off the horse, he often had to step forward to help him, where did he come from so chic and neat? Puzzled, he hurriedly greeted him, and he was even more surprised when people signed up.
"Zhang Gongzi is here alone?"
"I sent two attendants to do some errands, so I came alone."
Zhang Yue said as he turned his head to look at the big black horse, and loved its divine horse very much. His first mount was given by his father Zhang Zhuo after worshipping Du Zhen as a teacher, it was a young horse, the breed was not the best, but he had been riding for many years and had feelings, only this time he did not bring it to Nanjing.
Today's horse was given by the British public Zhang Fu yesterday, and he and Zhang Chao and Zhang Zhen have one each, which can be regarded as some kind of compensation. Anyway, yesterday's wound medicine was really magical, and now as long as it is not strenuous activity, he hardly feels anything in this shoulder.
Yang Zhong was accustomed to seeing those officials and students who came and went and liked to sit in a sedan chair, but he didn't have much research on famous horses, but he only saw that the horse was majestic and high-spirited, and he had to order his subordinates to take care of it, so he planned to lead people into the door in person according to Yang Shiqi's instructions. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of horsewhips and the sound of wheels outside, and then he saw a green manyuntou car with a plain lion head embroidered belt, and a string of silver bells hung in front of the curtain, showing a different kind of elegance.
Seeing the coachman jump down and help a person down from the carriage, Yang Zhong was taken aback, and hurriedly explained to Zhang Yue beside him: "It's Xiao Yang, the little one has to go to greet him, and please wait a while!" ”
Zhang Yue looked at the person who got off the carriage, and saw that the man was in his early forties, wearing a blue-blue large-sleeved robe, a blue-green knot around his waist, an agate embedded in the warm hat on his head, and a smile on the corner of his mouth. At this moment, no matter how dull he was, he could guess that there was no one else who could be called Xiao Yang Bachelor except Yang Rong, a Hanlin Bachelor.
Yang Rong, who walked up the steps, also saw the young man inside the door, but the next moment his eyes fell on a black horse led in by a servant. At the same time, his eyes lit up, and he did not care about anything else for a while, and after three or two steps into the door, he stopped the servant, and immediately looked the horse up and down, and only after a long time did he let out a long sigh.
"I didn't expect that this Warat had just paid tribute to the emperor's famous horse, and Brother Shiqi actually got one first!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yue suddenly chuckled, and secretly screamed in his heart. Sure enough, Yang Zhong looked at the black horse in surprise, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Yang is mistaken, this horse is not the master's, but this Zhang Gongzi rode it." ”
"Oh?" Yang Rong was slightly startled at this time, turned around and looked at Zhang Yue, with a thoughtful expression on his face, "On the day of the New Year's Day, Wara sent a total of twenty-four horses, and I happened to be fated to meet them." The emperor gave five horses to each of the two heroes of the British Duke and the Duke of Chengguo, and said with a smile that they should be distributed to the children of the family for riding, since your surname is Zhang, but the nephew of the British Duke? ”
How could Zhang Yue have thought that he would actually bump into a civil official who could identify horses, and he was already repenting at this time. Knowing this, he shouldn't have had the idea of trying out a horse when he came out today, what did he do with such a valuable guy? At this time, Yang Rong was screamed, and all kinds of eyes were on him, and he thought that there was no need to hide it, so he simply said honestly: "Student Zhang Yue is a nephew of the British court. ”
"Sure enough!"
Yang Rong laughed when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Yue's face again with interest. And Yang Zhong really didn't expect that the person he was treating with was actually the cousin of the British duke, and his face was a little strange, and he ordered a small guy to lead the way, while he was there staring at Zhang Yue's back, as if he wanted to see something famous from that ordinary posture.
Yang Shiqi's family will gather a few young students who have never been out of the house every once in a while to discuss with each other, which is almost something that everyone in Nanjing City knows. However, when he heard that Yang Rong suddenly came to the door and happened to bump into Zhang Yue at the gate, he also felt wonderful.
The two of them are ministers in the same hall, and they are both in the cabinet and are bachelors of Hanlin, at this time he is not good to sit and wait, so he got up and came to the door of the study to greet each other, and after seeing Yang Rong meet each other, he saw Zhang Yue come up to salute, he bowed his head slightly, and heard Yang Rong speak before he could speak.
"Brother Shiqi, it's the first time I know that your literary club can actually invite the children of the British government, and I am afraid that there will be more people who come here in the future!"
Yang Shiqi knew Zhang Yue's origin and origin, but he didn't expect Yang Rong to tell him in front of everyone, and he was a little hesitant in his heart, but his face was not moved at all, and he only smiled and said a few perfunctory sentences. As soon as he turned around and saw that the five young scholars in the room were all glancing at Zhang Yue with some kind of doubt mixed with other emotions, he couldn't help but smile.
Sensing that there was some repulsion in those eyes, Zhang Yue calmed down, and remembered what he said in front of the imperial grandson Zhu Zhanji last time-this literati always has some arrogant nature, but the seemingly lofty or arrogant arrogance can often be extinguished with a basin of cold water. Today it was Yang Shiqi who said that he would introduce him to a few friends, so that he would not end up becoming a sign of others.
