Chapter 861: Beloved Son, Threatened
Chapter 861: Beloved Son, Threatened
Looking at the son in front of him, Zhang Yue couldn't help but reach out and rub his little head fiercely. He often runs from south to north, but now he has settled down, and most of the time he has left his family affairs alone, and his children are almost all taught by Du Juan. Seeing that his son is growing up day by day, although there are times when he is naughty and mischievous, he is still sensible and motivated most of the time, and he naturally feels very relieved in his heart. It's just that this time, his wife asked his son to bring this kind of message, but he muttered a little in his heart.
"Why did your mother let you piggyback on this message?"
"When I sneaked home from school at noon, I saw my mother writing a letter, and when I wrote a piece of paper, I crumpled it into a ball and burned it in a brazier. I stepped forward and said to my mother, on weekdays, you teach me to hoe the day of the afternoon, sweat drops of the soil, a grain of rice and a firewood can not be wasted, now the small note paper used at home is 1,300 per knife, if it is a large notepaper, get 1,600 Wen, why is my mother now ruined these papers? ”
Seeing Tianci next to him staring at Jing Guan with wide eyes and a face full of amazement, Zhang Yue couldn't help but have a headache. He had also heard before that during the winter solstice holiday, Jingguan and Tianci pulled Meng Ang and a few other little guys who were about the same age and had a good time, and in the end the homework was still not completely done, but they refused to let their subordinates help investigate, so they applied for an extension of the time to one month. He thought that it was a good thing for his son to care about the people's livelihood and who would have thought that the homework had not been handed in yet, and at this time Jingguan was actually a waste of his mother. Rubbing his eyebrows, he couldn't help but sigh again.
"You, I don't know how to save your mother's worry......" Thinking about what kind of shock Du Juan should have been when he heard Xiao Wu's words back, and then thinking about the expression of being choked by the little guy's words, Zhang Yue felt that he should probably be dumbfounded when he changed to himself at that time, so he flicked his son's forehead again, and then asked, "Then your mother taught you a lesson later?" ”
Jingguan stretched out his hand to cover his head aggrievedly, and then snorted softly: "Mother doesn't have it." She was stunned for a while, and then praised me for being sensible and knowing how to cherish things! Speaking of this, the little guy's face showed excitement, "It's just that I saw that my mother was worried, so I said that I was not young and could help my mother, so my mother asked me to bring food to my father at night, and let me bring this to my father." I promised my mother, absolutely tight-lipped as a bottle! ”
Zhang Yue has never been a strict father, at this moment, seeing his son with his head up, with a cute expression of praising me, praising me, praising me, the thrilling feeling of not seeing the sword and sword shadow for a day and night seems to have faded a little, and finally he couldn't help laughing: "Okay, you are worthy of being the eldest son in the family, your father is not at home, you can also be the pillar!" ”
Tianci looked at Zhang Yue on the side, and then looked at the Jingguan who was in full bloom, his little head was already a little confused. Although his mother, Mrs. Wang, loves him on weekdays, as long as it is a lesson and teaching, he can only listen honestly, not to mention his father Zhang Fuzai, and he will never give him a smile, but Jingguan also contradicts his mother, why does Zhang Yue still praise him?
Zhang Yue turned his head and saw the confused Tianci, and suddenly remembered Zhang Fu's serious face in his heart. This Mrs. Wang is not Mrs. Wang, she loves Tianci, but she has never spoiled him, but Zhang Fu and Jia Zheng are not much different, looking at their son is nose is not nose, eyes are not eyes, so Tianci is naturally afraid of his father. So, he had no choice but to step forward and gently press the shoulder of the future head of the British government.
"Godci, I don't understand why I praise Jingguan?"
Tianci immediately shook his head, and then snorted: "If it were my mother, I would fight like that, and she would definitely punish me for not following the rules." ”
"It's naturally wrong for him to contradict his mother." Zhang Yue glanced at the Jing official who wanted to defend warnly, and successfully made the little guy obediently shut up and stand behind him, and then Wen Yan said, "It's just that his words are right, so your sister-in-law is for this, just said that he is sensible and knows how to cherish things." ”
"A piece of paper, a thread, and a grain of rice are naturally not worth anything, but because they are small and large, they know how to cherish these now, and they will know how to cherish the people in the future, so this is the reason why your sister-in-law and I asked you to find out the price. It's like a knife of paper, if it goes up by ten Wen, you naturally don't care, but there will be poor scholars who can't afford it, so they will cut off their studies and thus scrap the Wen; If a pound of meat rises by ten yuan, then more people can't afford it, so there is no oil and water in the stomach, and they are sick and weak or even short-lived; As for the price of a pound of rice, if it rises by ten wen, it will be a turbulent event in the world. Therefore, don't develop the habit of using things to vent anger on weekdays, and if you encounter the same when the elder is angry, you need to persuade more. Of course, don't be as straightforward as your Jingguan nephew! ”
Zhang Yue said and glanced at Jingguan again. That's his son, if it's not Du Juan but another elder, when he was anxious, his son Zhenzhen had words to say this, and it would be light if he didn't reprimand him - at least, if it was him, he wouldn't be in the mood at that time. Pulling the two children to talk for a while, he summoned the entourage that followed, ordered Haosheng to send Tianci home, and then stared at Jingguan preemptively.
"It's so late, don't follow your Uncle Zhong to the English Park again, it depends on what opportunities your little aunt has in the future. Go home and don't worry your mother! ”
Jing Guan didn't expect his careful thoughts to be seen through at a glance - he deliberately pulled Tianci over together, firstly for the convenience of walking, and secondly because he wanted to go to the English Park to see Zhang Jing who was temporarily living there, so he had to bow his head dejectedly: "Yes, Daddy." ”
Seeing the two little guys and more than a dozen entourages get on their horses and go their separate ways, Zhang Yue stood for a while, then turned around and entered the yamen, and only walked a few steps, he suddenly felt something, and couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky. It was winter, it was getting dark early, and even though it was only midday, the sky was already dark, and at this moment, scattered snowflakes had fallen again from an unknown time, rolling in the bitter cold wind, and fluttering on people's heads and faces from all directions.
He casually took a piece with his hand, and saw that the snowflake was just a gentle and gentle bit, and the whiskers on his hands, which were already a little stiff, turned into a drop of warm water, and then quickly disappeared. On the bluestone floor, on the black tiles, the bare trees are still occupied by the ice formed by the heavy snow a few days ago, and the scattered snowflakes seem to have no effect at all, but they add a little weight to the frozen hard and a little snow-white coldness. I just don't know if the ice on the roof will be a little thicker after a night of light snow, whether it will be possible to skate on the bluestone floor, and whether the bare branches will be crushed a few more.
Patting the snowflakes on his body casually, Zhang Yue walked in a little bit, with a messy thought in his heart. It is said that the spring rain moistens things silently, but the light snow in winter should not be underestimated. Now looking at another inconspicuous light snow at this moment, I don't know if it will become the last straw that crushes the camel.
After returning to the yamen for dinner, he changed into civilian clothes, and instructed his henchman to go to the Yang family to find someone if he had something to do, so he quietly broke through the side door and left the military headquarters, leading the horse and hiding in the light snow.
Although the entourage could not enter the yamen of the military department, Zhang Yue had already found a place on the north bridge of the Yuhe River, and two of his entourage were on standby there every day. When you have nothing to do, you just need to rest in the room to drink tea and chat, and it can come in handy when you have something. However, none of them expected that this time it was not the transmission of Soap Li, but Zhang Yue who came in person.
Since the emperor led the army to the north, Yang Shiqi has been on duty in the palace almost every day - although he is the first person in the cabinet, but after all, the current cabinet is not divided into the first and second assistants, and everyone has the level of seniority, but the difference between him and Yang Rongjin Youzi is not big, plus Du Zhen and Yang Pu, who came in later, are not high-profile people, so the five-day rotation schedule can naturally cope with it. Now Yang Rong went to Yunnan to counsel military affairs, Jin Youzi and Du Zhen accompanied the northern tour, only he and Yang Pu were left in Beijing, and Yang Pu was too humble to be a person, so he naturally couldn't leave. As a result, the Yang Mansion Cultural Association was temporarily gone, and Yang Ji was also free.
Not long after Yang Ji and his mother went to Beijing, Yang Shiqi took the rest of his family to Beijing, and with these large and small people, the Yang Mansion compound was naturally a little more angry. It's just that Mrs. Yang's health has always been bad, and the eldest daughter-in-law often serves in front, plus this is also a lady from a scholarly family, and she already has a son, so it is inevitable that she will be a little twisted in bed, and the concubine is blindly cautious and cowardly, so Yang Ji is now active at hand, and his father is not there, so it is inevitable that he will be bold and often return late.
In the evening, he returned home in the same carriage that was surrounded by a checkered cotton cart. Stepping on the stool in front of the door, he felt the cold wind howling, mixed with snow droplets, he glanced at a few Jingwei who were like stakes, and couldn't help but tighten the wool felt cloak outside to protect him from the snow and cold, and pulled up the hood to cover his head. Yang Zhong, the housekeeper who greeted him, asked his son to take care of the carriage and horses, and accompanied Yang Ji inside, and said in a low voice: "Young Master, someone will come to look for you in the afternoon, saying that there is something important." I said I didn't know where you went, but he insisted on not leaving, and was still waiting in the porter. ”
"Coming for me?"
Yang Ji suddenly became suspicious. He has a lot of friends outside, but there are very few who can really be called good friends. Of course, he likes to listen to people say good things, but Zhang Yue reminded him that Wan Shijie once took him for a quiet walk, and listened to those guys who tended to stammer behind his back and ridiculed him for not learning and being a loser, so he quickly recognized the reality. Those fox friends who have been mixed up for a while, from now on, you can eat, drink and have fun, and make friends hands-free. But now that Wanshijie is gone, Zhang Yue is very busy, he is naturally worried about business at the same time, and occasionally conceals his identity to act outside, that's all.
In that case, who else will come to him?
With this full stomach full of doubts, he went to the door of the porter's room, and when he saw the man sitting in the blue cocoon silk jacket, who looked quite decent, he was taken aback, and the whole person froze there at once.
"Young Master Yang!"
Hearing this, Yang Ji, who was already apprehensive in his heart, was even more distracted, and he suddenly fainted, and stammered and asked, "You, how did you find here?" ”
"Needless to say? No one in Jingshi knows who doesn't know Yang Gongzi in Ge's hometown, so I naturally know where to look for someone. The man in the blue jacket stood up and saluted with a smile, and when he saw Yang Zhong standing behind Yang Ji, he squeezed his eyes and said, "Young Master Yang, do you really want to leave me here to talk?" There are some things for others to hear......"
"Say no more!" Yang Ji immediately interrupted him, and immediately instructed Yang Zhong without looking back, "This is my guest, I will talk to him in the flower hall." Keep the door open for now, I'll see you off later. ”
Although Yang Zhong didn't understand the origin of Yang Ji's guest, he always felt that something was wrong when he looked at this scene. Therefore, seeing that the man followed Yang Ji out of the gatehouse with a calm demeanor and went to the flower hall along the Yongdao, he gradually frowned, and there was always a bad premonition in his heart. When Zhang Yue told his master that the eldest and young master was running a restaurant outside, the master was angry and almost moved the family law, but he was still persuaded to come down. It's good that Young Master Sun is young and reads well, but the eldest young master doesn't do his job, but now there are no more fox friends to come to the door. But the person who came here today is really a little weird.
After thinking about it, seeing that Yang Ji and the man never came out, Yang Zhong finally had an extra heart, and soon called his son over, and gave him a few careful instructions, so that he could watch it well at home, and then let people prepare for it. Outside the gate, he was stepping on the dismount stone to get on the horse, and saw the shadow of the alley over there two riders, a little look at the person in front of him was somewhat familiar, and when the person came closer, he saw the appearance clearly, he was suddenly surprised and happy, and hurriedly walked to meet it.
"Master Zhang, it's such a coincidence, the little one was about to go to the yamen to find you, and you actually came!"
"You're coming to me?" Zhang Yue didn't wait for anyone to step forward to lead the horse and hold the stirrups, jumped off the horse neatly, and heard this as soon as he threw the reins in his hand, and then thought of Du Juan's words to let Jingguan piggyback, and immediately had a guess in his heart, "Is there something wrong with Brother Yang?" ”
"I don't know where it came from just now, and I waited for the eldest young master in the concierge room of the house for an afternoon, insisting that it was a big matter of 100,000 urgent. After the eldest young master came back, he was stunned when he saw people, and couldn't help but say that he had invited him to the flower hall to talk, and the little one was really worried......"
"In this way, you tell the people in the family not to go out, and then take me to see it!"
After Zhang Yue and the two entourages gathered, he did not come directly to Yang's house, but went to the spy department of the military department in Yangzhou Hutong to transfer some manpower arrangements, and then he arrived here. At this time, Yang Zhong went to the flower hall along the road, and learned that Yang Ji also ordered all the idlers to retreat without disturbing, and he had a number in his heart. So, looking at the place where the lights were turned on from a distance, he gestured to Yang Zhong, and then stepped forward slowly. As the room got closer, he heard a somewhat unscrupulous voice.
"Yang Gongzi only has one son, if Yunzhu can really add another son and a half daughter to you, and the family will be more prosperous, Yang Ge Lao will naturally be happy!"
