Chapter 839: Husband and wife are one, why give way

For the people of Jingshi, the name Zhang Yue can be said to be thunderous over the years - if you want to talk about his name, although he is a Jinshi, his ranking is not conspicuous, but when it comes to things, everything he tosses out is enough to cause a burst of boiling heated discussions. So, some people say that he just occupies the light of being born in a wealthy family, some say that he is ruthless and ruthless, some say that he knows astronomy and geography is the reincarnation of a certain star, and some scold him for being a ghost who kills people without blinking...... So, at noon on the day of the winter solstice, Zhang Yue sent someone to return all the gifts sent to his father-in-law's house one by one, which immediately caused an uproar.

Du Zhen's cold-faced Jingshi is known to everyone, and even the half-old Yuntou car that Du Daxue sat in when he was in court or director is also known to everyone, so Du Zhen settled in Wugong Hutong for less than two years, Du Bachelor Hutong is famous, because the gate can't send gifts at all every New Year's Day - in fact, few people dare to give gifts. But this time, Du Zhen followed the emperor on his northern tour, and it was really strange that he made such a scene.

"No matter how powerful Master Xiao Zhang is, he can't throw back the things that people gave to his old father-in-law!"

"How can it be so simple, I heard people say that the people who give gifts are all six or seven officials, and even have any experience in the governor's mansion, all of them are people who can't fight with Master Du."

"But after all, it's a person who doesn't reach out and don't hit a smiling face......"

"You don't know, do you? The family members sent by Lord Xiao Zhang to send the gifts back left a sentence, saying that the rule of not accepting gifts in Du Mansion has been for many years, and if they don't take it back, then don't blame him for reaching out to hit the smiling man! ”

Dufu is strict, although the words of the previous gift givers made the servants very strange, but Zhang Yue only warned two sentences, and these gossips did not spread at all, so when there were rumors in the market the next day, it did not involve this stubble at all. And Zhang Yue wrote an inscription overnight and sent it to the palace, and the next day Cao Jixiang went to Zhang's mansion to spread the word, saying that the queen mother knew about this matter and would not listen to the rumors. But Zhang Yue had a pimple in his heart, and he knew that Jinyi Weidong Factory couldn't take care of this side, so he ordered his own people to investigate thoroughly.

Just over the halfway point of the ten-day holiday, he already had an abridgement on his desk. Among them, there are not only the five or six families who left the gifts, but also the people who have traveled in the places where the servants of the family have been, and the people they have seen. Moreover, it is said to be abridged, but there are also more than a dozen thick sheets of paper. Flipping through these, Zhang Yue raised his head and looked at Zhang Bu, and saw that his face was full of apprehension.

"My lord, this is ...... I don't know how to get started, if you don't think it'......"

"You've done a great job. Presumably, for this, all the hands of the people below are staring at this one thing. Since the net is large, and there are many things that have been fished up, and the abridgement can be written clearly, it is enough to show that you have grown a lot over the years, and as for distinguishing the priorities of things, it is not up to you. ”

Zhang Bu felt a little more at ease, and when he came out of the study, Zhang Yue looked at this series of trivial news, thinking that Yuan Fang was old after all, and he should enjoy a few years of good fortune, but as soon as this elder handed over the power to pick a child, he had a headache when he chose the candidate to take over this stall. My father is also very old, and he still has to manage the property, so he can't trouble him with this.

Hu Qi was originally quite suitable, but he had already passed the Ming Road and obtained the official body, and there was absolutely no reason to let the two lines and be in the hands of one person, Zhang Bu could only summarize and not analyze, although Lian Sheng Lianhu These servants are loyal, but they have never been in contact with the major affairs of the court, where to distinguish the priorities. So, taking this thick pile of things, he pondered it carefully for a long time, and finally made up his mind, so he folded it all and put it in a large envelope, tucked it in his sleeve, and went out.

All the way to his yard, he heard a burst of laughter from inside, and he could faintly hear the sound of Sansan reciting poems, but it was Bai Juyi's charcoal seller. Bai Juyi's poems not only have glamorous and poignant love poems like long hatred songs, but also have sad works like pipa xing, but only one charcoal seller once resonated deeply with Zhang Yue - after all, he still can't forget the difficulties of his childhood in his previous life. So, he couldn't help but stand at the door.

"The poor shirt is single, and I am worried about the cold weather...... Half a horse of red silk and a zhang of silk, tied to the head of the cow to fill the charcoal straight. ”

"Since you can memorize this poem, do you know what it means?"

After about Sansan shook his head, Du Juan turned to Jingguan and asked, "Jingguan, you and Mr. Liang have also been studying for a few months, do you know what this means?" “

"Mother, this poem is about the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty presiding over the palace purchasing, standing in the palace market, and buying the people's things at a low price."

"Yes, then let me ask you again, the charcoal seller is obviously unclothed, why should he wish for the cold?"

"It's so that the charcoal can be sold at a good price."

"Do you know how much a cartload of charcoal can sell for?" After a short silence, Du Juan spoke again, "It's not just charcoal, do you know how much a stone of rice costs, how much does a bag of noodles cost, how much does a cart of vegetables cost, how much does a good cocoon silk cost?" My mother said this, not to let you go to the market to inquire all day long, but to let you know what kind of life the people live, and to want you to pay more attention to everything. Being in the Zhumen embroidery household, I know the suffering of the world, and this is not just if you wear two old clothes and cut the amount of food, and this is not something that can be understood by blindly reading dead books. ”

"Yes, the boy understands."

Although Zhang Yue, who was listening outside the door, didn't know if Jingguan really understood Du Juan's thoughts, he agreed with his wife's education method, coughed lightly and opened the curtain to enter. As soon as he entered the door, Du Juan hurriedly stood up, and the Jing Guan, who was still full of prudence just now, ran up with a cigarette and called Daddy with a smile.

Zhang Yue has always had a hard face in front of his children, and after taking off his coat, he rubbed Sansan's head with a smile, and said to Jingguan: "Don't listen to what your mother said. In the past few days, in addition to the window class assigned to you by your Mr. Liang, plus the question of your mother just now - a cart of charcoal, a stone of rice, a bag of noodles, a cart of vegetables and vegetables, and a cocoon silk...... Don't just ask someone to fool the past, now the Chinese New Year is coming, these things are a price a day, you inquire about the price of the day clearly! ”

Jing Guan is not a nerd, as soon as he heard this, he suddenly realized that this was just an excuse to go out to play, and immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice. Seeing Zhang Yue waving his hand, he knew that his father and mother must have something to say, so he turned his eyes and asked with a raised face: "Then Uncle Zhong and I have to answer this question together?" ”

"You didn't forget to bring your loyal uncle with you!" Zhang Yue glared at the little guy angrily, and after a little thought, he nodded and said, "Okay, you can go to the British Mansion and take him along, you might as well call your sixth uncle and cousin Ang again." But since there are more people, the topic just now is too simple, so when the winter solstice holiday is over, you will hand me a detailed price list of Jingshi, as for what are the things...... That's the ones that the family buys for the New Year, and you can go to the executive's house for a detailed list. ”

I thought it was just a street walk and complete this very simple homework by the way, but I didn't expect my father to make this homework extremely complicated in a blink of an eye. Jingguan can also use his toes to figure out how complicated the items to be purchased for the New Year are, so he looked at his father for a long time and found that he didn't mean to change his words, so he had to agree with a sad face, and pulled Sansan, who was ignorant and didn't know what was going on, out of the door.

Du Juan kept standing next to him with a smile, and when he saw Zhang Yue treating the little guy obediently in a few words, he couldn't help but smile and said: "In the past, as soon as I taught him, he looked forward to you coming, but now that you are here like this, he will be stunned when he sees you in the future." I'm just afraid that the child will enjoy wealth and prosperity on the ground, and I don't know the people's livelihood and suffering, so I remind him that it's better for you to do this. ”

"If I hadn't listened to you outside the door, I wouldn't have said this. However, after a few days, when the academy is completed and the Jingguan and they go to class, they will know what is going on with the people's suffering. It's better to listen than to watch, it's better to see than to experience, don't you say? ”

"That's right, if it weren't for the fact that I and my mother experienced the heat and coldness of the world in Zhangyan and experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings, I wouldn't think these are very important. Not only Jingguan, but also Sansan, Duanwu and Xiaosi, in addition to reading and writing and learning the rules in the future, they must also know this. The rise and fall of the world is known by the warmth of the people, this is our child. ”

As Du Juan was talking, she felt a hand on her waist that she didn't know when, and she was stunned for a moment, and when she turned her head to look, she found that Zhang Yue had arrived at her side. Although it was an old husband and wife, but when she was not intimate in broad daylight, she was about to stare back, and she saw Zhang Yue put her index finger on her lips, and when she looked again, she found that Feng's mother and the two girls who were still in the house just now were gone, thinking that they had avoided the house.

"Talk in the house."

"It's daylight!"

"It's all talking, and I'm not going to do anything else."

Seeing Zhang Yue's innocent appearance, Du Juan couldn't help but feel angry, so he could only carry him into the back room. Sitting down on the warm kang, she found that Zhang Yue did not sit on the vacant seat in the east, but next to herself, she couldn't help but look at him suspiciously, until he took out a large envelope from his sleeve and put it on the kang table, and then pulled out a pile of paper notes from it, and she made up her mind.

"What is this?"

"Open it and take a look."

Her husband sold the guanzi, and Du Juan had to glance at him, took the things and looked at them one by one. After a while, she stopped moving, and then looked at Zhang Yue in surprise. Zhang Yue told her about the Du family's affairs when she came back that day, and she also felt puzzled, but now a few days later, Zhang Yue sent this, and she can naturally understand the meaning. was pleased that he was defending his mother's family, and worried that his actions would arouse suspicion, so she couldn't help but gently hold his hand.

"I know you're worried about your father, but you can let Jinyiwei and Dongchang help with this, if something happens, your reputation will be ruined. Don't check it any further, even Daddy won't care about this kind of thing. ”

"This is not the internal information of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, it is my own channel."

Zhang Yue saw that Du Juan froze there all of a sudden, so he attached it to her ear and told her about the previous things. Since this was the most important secret, he held Du Juan tightly in his arms, and whispered in her ear. He only felt the person in his arms stiffen and soften, and finally through the long eyelashes, he saw that the eyes that had been closed at first gradually opened.

"I'm glad you can say that to me." Du Juan gently put his hands on Zhang Yue's hands around his waist, and whispered, "It's a pity that I can't go with you to visit your elder...... If you show me these things, it must not be for the secrecy that has accumulated for many years, but for me to do it for you? ”

"He is old, these things always have to be handed over to me, and although I have manpower in my hands, I can only sort out these trivial things, and if there is any omission at the critical moment, it will be troublesome. Husband and wife are enemies, but they are also one, you are clever and understand the overall situation, and you have always been my virtuous helper. At the beginning, I was busy with foreign affairs, and you helped deal with those correspondence, so this matter can only bother you. ”

Du Juan's handwriting is practiced with Shen Can, and Zhang Yue is Shen Du's handwriting, so Du Juan didn't have much effort to imitate Zhang Yue's handwriting, when he was the political envoy of Guangdong, almost all the letters to and from Beijing were dictated by him at night, and she drafted the text during the day. Even now that she has returned to the capital, most of the letters written to other places are written by her. But writing letters is writing letters, and things today have a very different meaning. Savoring his sentence that husband and wife are enemies and are also one, she couldn't help but show a smile.

"Good!"

Although it was only a word, Zhang Yue heard the categorical meaning without hesitation, and still felt hot in his heart, and couldn't help but tighten her tightly. Although the couple can't really be ecstatic in this daytime, they still have a fiery feeling in the warm spring-like room, through the light clothes clinging together.

It was easy to separate from each other, where did Du Juan dare to sit next to Zhang Yue again, got up and sat opposite him, and then he and he looked at the dozen or so pieces of paper carefully across a kang table. After a quarter of an hour, she raised her head and said: "At the beginning, the British Duke resigned as the governor of the Chinese army, and you can join the military department without any doubt." I'm afraid that after Zhang Benshangshu comes back this time, I'm afraid I'm going to eat and hang up, is anyone worried that you will sit on the throne of Shangshu? If you are in the ministry and the cabinet with your father, the momentum of the horns is unbreakable, and someone makes that momentum, will you want your father to make way for you? ”

Way!

Hearing these two words again, Zhang Yue's face sank suddenly, and it took a long time before he said word by word: "Uncle Lobby and Dad have made way for me, but after all, they have the intention of retreating, but my father-in-law is different, and there are thousands of ravines in his chest." People still have fathers and sons in the same dynasty, what is this Weng son-in-law in the same dynasty? ”
