Chapter 757: Twin Sons

On the occasion of the annual Dragon Boat Festival, Guangzhou Prefecture naturally held a dragon boat race on the Pearl River opposite Haizhu Island according to the old practice. Although last year's dragon boat race was a lame farce with assassins and people falling into the water, this year's dragon boat race is still on a grand scale, and the number of dragon boats participating in it has increased a lot compared with last year, reaching 20. That is, this section of the Pearl River is unusually spacious, so it is not too crowded for so many boats to gather here. And for such a grand event, the government at all levels has given a day off from top to bottom, and the yamen, which is busy with official affairs on weekdays, seems to be much more deserted.

However, on such a lively and festive day, the people of the Houya Zhangjia official family had no time to go to Haizhu Island to see the excitement. At this time, Zhang Zhuo and Zhang Yue's father and son sat and stood together, no one spoke, and the two girls standing in the room also hung their hands and did not say a word. There were all kinds of shouts and shouts clearly outside the door, as if adding a fire to the already sultry weather.

"It's been so long, why do you have to toss it every time......"

Wow –

A crisp baby cry cut Zhang Yue's complaint short. Almost instantly, Zhang Zhuo also stood up, and the expression on his face was also shocked. After only a while, a person hurriedly knocked open the curtain and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the young master for having a noble son, congratulations to the master for adding another grandson!" Now that the mother and child are safe, the wife and the young grandmother will bring the child over immediately! ”

Although the child's loud cry had been heard, the news that the mother and son were safe came at this moment, and the father and son finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Zhang Yue did not sit down immediately, but said to the little girl who came to report the news: "Go to the courtyard over there and ask the daughter-in-law of the Peng family how it is, the good news has already been reported here, why is there no news over there?" ”

Seeing that the little girl promised to slip away, but Zhang Yue was still standing at the door, Zhang Zhuo couldn't help but comfort: "Don't worry, Wen Po is the best prepared in advance, and the manpower is also sufficient, and there should be good news if you wait a little longer." You send someone to ask like this, Lao Peng may not be so nervous, and you don't know his personality. ”

Thinking that two women who had been pregnant would give birth almost on the same day, the family was nervous from early this morning to now, Zhang Yue couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, raised his hand and wiped it casually, and found that his palms were wet and full of sweat. At this time, a few familiar voices finally came from outside, and immediately after, the bamboo curtain in front of him was beaten high.

The first Sun was holding Du Juan's hand, with a smile on his face. Seeing that the father and son in the house were looking at herself, she hurriedly asked the nurse holding the child behind her to step forward, and when she saw Zhang Yue holding the child and looking at it carefully, she smiled and said: "In the end, after the autumn mark fetal image is stable, the family outside has been smooth, and she has been recuperating in a good body, the child is strong and strong when she lands, and the cry just now can almost scare people to death." You father and son take a good look and come up with a nickname that can be lived in first. ”

As soon as he heard the three words that this town could hold, and Du Juan looked at himself with a smile, Zhang Yue was not only a little weak-hearted. He joked with Du Juan at the beginning and guessed whether it was a son or a daughter, but Du Juan made fun of him, saying that the girl would inevitably save trouble according to his ideas, just call Sisi directly, he couldn't defend himself if he had this intention. It's just that now that he is not a daughter, his lazy ideas are naturally useless, and his brows are naturally frowned.

It's not that he can't come up with a nice name. It must be known that there is a father in the matter of scientific names, and he is not good at overstepping; And his skills in giving nicknames are undoubtedly revealed in a son and a daughter, and he is often used as a joke and a joke. It's the same this time, when he was waiting here just now, the dozen or so nicknames that he had prepared earlier were criticized by Zhang Zhuo to be incomplete, where would he find names at this time?

"Let's call it Duanwu."

Just now, he taught his son a hard lesson about his poor donkey skills, so Zhang Zuo simply took over the matter: "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is the season when poisonous insects come out to make trouble, and I am about to take this homophonic pressure." Besides, seeing that he looks so strong, it is exactly the same as a martial artist. As for the daimyo, I'll go back and check a few ancient books to see if there are any good characters. After all, I didn't think that he would come out in time for the Dragon Boat Festival so coincidentally, and those words are not appropriate......"

"Mrs. Qiqi, young master and young grandmother!"

Hearing the sound of tearing open his voice outside, Zhang Yue hurriedly motioned for someone to open the curtain. I saw a young daughter-in-law outside curtsy at the foot of the steps outside the door, and said with a smile: "Brother Peng let the little one say goodbye, saying that it is the blessing of the old lady, the young master and the young grandmother, and now he is happy with his noble son, and the mother and son are safe." ”

"Amitabha!"

Du Juan didn't care about the Sun family who was chanting Buddha behind his back, and hurriedly said to Cui's mother beside him: "Hurry up and let someone prepare something and go over there to congratulate." See if there is anything missing, and if so, immediately send someone to fill in or procure. Seeing that Cui's mother was about to leave after nodding, she suddenly stopped her again, and added, "It's okay these days, please Master Peng accompany some daughters-in-law at home, don't worry about things outside!" ”

Although Peng Shisan said that he didn't care whether he had children or not, but now that Lingxi gave birth to a big fat boy for him, he was naturally overjoyed, and he was even more relieved to hear that he didn't need his help. After packing up everything, he prepared two heavy happy seals to reward Wen Po. He was also surprised that his son was born on the same day as Zhang Yue's son. Lingxi was born a few days late, and Autumn Scar was born a few days early, and this back and forth actually coincided with the Dragon Boat Festival.

So, after the government officials held a banquet to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in the evening, Zhang Yue came to him again to drink a little wine, and the two sat under the uncle in the courtyard, looking at the crescent moon in the air, and unconsciously talked about the old things.

"Old Peng, do you remember the first time we met?"

"Why don't you remember!"

Drinking has to be accompanied by one, and the other is to be in the mood, and now Peng Shisan has both, so naturally the more he drinks, the more he rises, and he gradually gets higher. At this moment, he made a gesture and said with a grin: "At that time, you were only so tall, thin as dry wood, as if a gust of wind could blow it down." At first, I didn't pay much attention to you, but then you were stunned and dragged me to Mr. Du, and I thought you were a little interesting. However, I really didn't expect that more than ten years later, it would be like this today! ”

"Without the good foundation laid by the civil and military forces at that time, where could I be where I am today? I should call you a master...... Come, I'll toast you! ”

said that it was a toast, but Zhang Yue directly raised the wine jug. Peng Shisan, who was on the other side, saw that his eyes lit up, and he simply picked up the small wine urn on the side unequivocally, boldly collided with Zhang Yue's wine jug, and immediately raised his head and drank it. Seeing his appearance of a cow, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be dumbfounded, opened the lid of the pot and took a sip, after all, he couldn't learn the other party's boldness in using wine as water. When he saw Peng Shisan staggering and putting down the wine urn, and then fell asleep on the stone table, he was even more speechless, but at this time he was also a little dizzy, so he had to call someone.

The father of the two new sons was helped back to his room and had a good night's sleep. It's just that the Dragon Boat Festival has passed, Zhang Yue didn't have to be idle, and got up early the next morning to go to the front office to preside over the work. After an hour's morning, he returned with a yawn, and went to his room to see his parents, but instead of having breakfast there, he went straight back to his yard. When he entered the main room, he sat down next to Du Juan, and saw that there were four-color side dishes and fish fillet porridge on the table, but there were Beijing-style snacks such as pea yellow, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Since Jiuniang helped her in the kitchen, Sister-in-law Li has changed her tricks more and more every day."

"I'm not worried about anything now, I'm just afraid that all the mouths up and down will be fed, and I won't get used to it when I go back to the capital." Du Juan saw Zhang Yue say this, but his face was very happy, and he couldn't help but tease, "I really don't know where you got so many tricks, a moment of fish fillet porridge, a moment of seafood porridge, a soup on the left and a pot on the right, that is, Jiu Niang is young but loves to ponder, and she has good intentions and skills, even Sister-in-law Li has to stump you, why didn't you be so picky in the capital before?" ”

Zhang Yue didn't think about it, and said with a smile: "Life is in the world, eat and drink." When I leave Guangdong, in addition to tens of thousands of hectares of rice fields and a rich Huangpu Town, it will leave countless delicacies to people, wouldn't it be a good story? ”

has been married for many years, and Du Juan now feels that since the previous matter was resolved, Guangdong Province no longer has any constraints, Zhang Yue's mood is getting better and better. It's just that the husband is free in official duties, but he is old and serious, but at home he is joking and making fun of him more. At this time, she glanced at Zhang Yue angrily, and saw a commotion outside, so she swallowed back the ironic words.

The bamboo curtain was raised, and several mothers and girls came in in a crowd, but Zhang Xiang was in front, and Jingguan and Sansan were behind. The three of them stepped forward, Zhang went to the rules and bowed, followed by Jingguan and Sansan. Looking at Zhang Fu, who was getting stronger and stronger, Zhang Yue asked a few words about the martial arts class, and praised him well, then ordered him to sit down on the side, and beckoned Jingguan to come over.

"What have you learned with your Mr. Xiaofang in the past few days?"

Hearing Mr. Xiaofang's words, the mothers and girls in the room all covered their mouths and snickered, and even Du Juan was also uneasy. Without him, it's just that Fang Jing's young appearance is really weird and interesting to be a gentleman, occasionally someone is ordered by Du Juan to go to the study to look secretly, and I have seen someone teaching with a straight eye. However, Jingguan had a good impression of such a young and familiar enlightenment teacher, and quickly replied: "Daddy, Mr. is teaching me to read the Analects. ”

Although Zhang Yue had heard of it before, he was still a little surprised by such a progress, and he took a few tests to compare his son, he suddenly smiled slightly, and asked how to solve the sentence that made him and Du Zhen get acquainted with the people, and Jing Guan really answered the head and head at a glance, and added a sentence at the end: "Mr. Xiaofang said that Daddy also solved it this way." ”

"I've only mentioned it to him once, and he's taught you it all!"

After laughing, Zhang Yue didn't ask any more, and had breakfast with his wife, children and younger brother. When the meal was over, he beckoned Zhang Fu to take him out of the room. The brothers walked a stone's throw along the sandwich road, and Zhang Yue asked without looking back: "Your Master Peng said that you can now lift a thirty-pound stone lock, and you are quite talented in learning martial arts, and praise you for being a good seedling who really practices martial arts, and is willing to endure hardships." Now I want to ask you, do you really want to go down this path? ”

Zhang Fu grew up in front of Hongluan since he was a child, and he had only heard of Zhang Yue's countless exploits from his subordinates, so he was naturally more afraid of his eldest brother than close to him. Now that his father has directly left him to Zhang Yue to teach, he is even more afraid of his brother and strict father. Seeing Zhang Yue suddenly turn around and look at him, he hurriedly stopped, and after a while he lowered his head and replied, "Third brother, I'm not afraid of hardship." I wanted to sleep as soon as I read a book, and Mr. Yiyi Jingyi said it several times, and Jingguan remembered it, but I still couldn't remember it. I really want to learn martial arts. ”

Seven-year-old children may still play outside with bare buttocks in the countryside, and in the city, people at most help their elders do some chores, but in large households, they are often enlightened and sensible early. Listening to Zhang Fu's orderly answer, Zhang Yue nodded and asked again: "Okay, let me ask you again, what do you want to do in the future?" ”

"My aunt said that I will do whatever my father and third brother want me to do." Zhang Xiang said without thinking.

Hearing this, Zhang Yue immediately frowned. Hongluan has always been cautious and cautious, not an arrogant person, he naturally knows that only a child is trained like this, and he is a little disapproving. After pondering for a moment, he took a few steps forward, rubbed lightly on his younger brother's head twice, and said, "As long as you want, as long as you have ambition, there is nothing you can't do." Daddy saw that you liked martial arts and hated literature, so he let you take this path. But it's the same martial arts, but the way out is different, you go back and think about it, what do you plan to do when you learn martial arts? ”

Seeing Zhang Fu standing there in a daze, Zhang Yue couldn't help but smile slightly, then turned around and strode away. When he passed through the three halls and arrived at the front office, an errand officer hurriedly ran over with Cao Jixiang. Seeing him, the errand officer hurriedly retired, while Cao Jixiang stepped forward in three or two steps, and walked forward after saluting respectfully.

"Lord Zhang, Gonggong Zhang received a letter from the capital early in the morning, and the little one hurriedly came to report it. There have been some changes on the Jingshi side, and Lord Huang Huaihuang, a scholar of Wuyingdian University and the crown prince, has withdrawn from the cabinet and temporarily returned to his hometown to recuperate. Also, Lord Lu Zhenlu, the crown prince and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, just passed away in April. ”

Both Huang Huai and Lu Zhen were neither familiar nor enthusiastic to Zhang Yue, but Zhang Yue was still taken aback when there was such a sudden change in the DPRK. Mo Li thought about it for a while, and when he saw Cao Jixiang standing beside him and didn't move, he nodded to him and said, "It's still early in the noon hall now, you come to the study with me and talk about what's going on." ”

Cao Jixiang was waiting for Zhang Yue's words, so he naturally hurriedly bent down and agreed. Zhang Qian's intentions are very clear to him, I am afraid that if Zhang Yue goes back, he will not go back. But he is still young, no matter how many years he stays in Guangzhou, he can't achieve a positive result, if he doesn't tie up Zhang Yue, how can he return to the capital?
