Chapter 265: Friends, Brothers, and Sisters-in-law

"Third uncle, Xiaosheng is polite!"

The old friends reunited, but Sun Han's first sentence made Zhang Yue stunned. Fortunately, they are familiar with each other, and the two did not meet in Ruiqing Hall, but in Zhang Yue's own study, so it was not afraid that outsiders would see the joke. He tilted his head and glanced at Sun Han, and suddenly said with a smile: "You have a bright future in abandoning literature and martial arts this time, and you will have to replace it with me in the future!" ”

Sun Han only gave up his military service to join the guard after his grandfather's one-year mourning period expired, not so much because of his own wishes, but because the prisoners who went out before were not assigned anything good and short, most of them were county masters of eight or nine grades, and it was better to make a little benefit when the emperor was worried about the merits of the Sun family. It's just that later I voted for Zhu Di's fate by chance, which is another benefit. At this time, when he heard Zhang Yue say this, he laughed after being stunned.

"You kid still want someone else to carry you? King Han made it clear that he wanted to envelop you, and you didn't accept the kindness of others, but you actually cooperated with your teacher to pluck the hair on King Han's head, do you know that now your little Zhang is very famous in Beijing? Even my uncle, who had just inherited Uncle Yingcheng, was also muttering behind his back. Who knew that the emperor actually summoned you alone, and I don't know how many people were dumbfounded. Your eldest brother and second brother also asked a lot of people to help you intercede, but they didn't work. ”

Hearing that Zhang Chao was so concerned about his own affairs, Zhang Yue hurriedly inquired carefully. It's okay not to ask, but after asking, he learned that Zhang Chao and Zhang Qi have bold personalities and generous hands, and their martial arts are very solid, and they are very popular among a group of heroes, and they don't know how many people they are ready to help. And a weak scholar like Sun Han, who suddenly turned to a military position, if it weren't for the brothers to take care of him, he would suddenly be promoted to become a leading bird, and he would not be able to please him in the army.

Sun Han followed with a smile and said: "The marriage of the children of our family is involuntary, and my marriage is also decided by my uncle." I thought it was a girl in your family, and the tutor must have a good character, so I was happy in my heart, and besides, your eldest brother and second brother are also righteous people. Hey, when your second brother's marriage is decided, it will be my turn, and then I can rightfully call you the third uncle. ”

From friends to quasi-in-laws, the two of them are naturally extremely happy. Sun Han saw that there were all kinds of classics neatly arranged on the shelves of Zhang Yue's study, and he had to take them out one by one to look at them, and his face showed an expression of envy. It's just that he has now entered the guard, and no matter how good this literature is, it can only be used as icing on the cake, and he can't help but feel a little gloomy.

Looking at it, he suddenly remembered another thing, and hurriedly put the book in his hand back on the shelf, turned around and said, "By the way, Guozijian will move to Beijing next month, and Brother Fang and Little Brother Gu will come over together." I think when I left, my brother complained that I was not righteous. Alas, his father is a gambler, and his eldest brother ignores him, and every month is a monthly case of two taels of silver for him, what is enough? When I left Nanjing, I lent him fifty taels of silver. However, Gu Xiaodi studied hard, and was very praised by several professors of Guozijian, and he was among the best in several monthly exams. ”

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Zhang Yue heard about the situation of Fangling, and wondered how to help after waiting for others to come to Beijing. At this moment, there was a sound of Lian Sheng outside the study.

"Young Master, Master Wan and Master Xia are here to worship!"

Hearing that Wanshijie and Xia Ji were also coming, Zhang Yue was overjoyed and busily invited. After a while, the door of the study was pushed open, and the two of them entered the room one after the other.

Wan Shijie in front of him was wearing a half-worn azure gown, and the black cloth shoes under it were already washed white. Xia Ji at the back was quite energetic, dressed in a brand-new royal blue straight jacket, looking like a young official. As soon as he entered the door, he complained angrily: "Why is Brother Wan an adult, I am a son, and this has to be treated equally!" Yuan Festival, don't look at Brother Wan's shabby dress, he did it on purpose, this time the Zongren Mansion chose the guest of honor for Chen Liujun, and it didn't fit and picked on his head! ”

At this moment, not only Zhang Yue's eyes widened, but even Sun Han, who was smiling, was also taken aback. For a while, all six eyes in the room were staring around on someone, and as a result, Wan Shijie was so hairy that he had to cough dryly angrily.

"The princesses and county lords of this dynasty are all the sons of the selected heroes, this time the emperor actually asked the imperial supervisor Zhang Gong to publicly list a list for the Zongren Mansion, how do I know that there will be me above!" Although Wan Shijie had seen Lord Chenliu once, he knew that it was not arrogant, but after all, he was unwilling to marry a noble daughter of the clan to press on his head, "Lord Chenliu County is treated by the emperor as a princess, and those sons of heroes want to marry home one by one when they sharpen their heads, and it will not be my turn." ”

Thinking of Zhu Ning's appearance when he talked about marriage at that time, and listening to Wan Shijie's tone at this time, Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh in his heart. seems to be the proud daughter of the sky, but she is like a marionette in marriage, what is the meaning?

The sun is scorching outside, there is an ice basin in this house, and several towering trees are planted nearby, but it is quite cool. When he learned that the ice cellar of the Zhang family was enough to use for a summer, he was even more envious.

Hanlin Shu Jishi is only from seven products, Yuelu rice is only seven stones, eighty percent of rice, two percent of money, a month of accumulation of only five stones and six buckets of rice plus fourteen banknotes, the most is four taels and four coins. Such a little money a month, not to mention buying a house in Beijing, even renting a house is worrying, so the two still live in the small courtyard house in Zhang Yue's West Pailou Lane, but it is a symbolic amount of money, and Zhang Yue doesn't care. Even if the summer was difficult, the two of them didn't have the money to buy ice.

As soon as he put the fan away, Wan Shijie sighed and said: "Our officials are really shabby, the Fang family kid who moved in a few days ago is an honest man, and he got acquainted with us in a few days." Knowing that the two of us were officials with a little bit of money, he knew the benefits of the British government to him. He has a monthly allowance of five taels of silver, which is more than one of our seventh-grade officials. He has a talent for reading, and he is willing to spend effort, Xia Xiaodi is there to debate with him if he has nothing to do, but you brought a wonderful person to Yuanjie. ”

"As long as you don't say I've made a fool of myself. I just thought that he was an outsider living in the British Mansion, and it was inevitable that some people who would tend to be attached to him would look down on him, and for no reason to spoil a person's character and future. It's not that I said, the poor relatives who joined the wealthy family are not easy to be, and his brother left him and didn't know where he went, and he was alone and had no friends......"

As soon as the word friend came out, there was another knock on the door. At this time, Zhang Yue was surprised, thinking to himself what day it is, and the people who came came one after another? personally stepped forward to open the door, only to find that the Liansheng Lianhu brothers, who were supposed to be guarding outside, were gone, but at this time it was the fourth brother Zhang Zhen who was standing under the eaves. Seeing that the other party was sweating profusely and his face was flushed, he thought something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Little Si, what's the matter with you?" ”

"I ......"

Zhang Zhen was reprimanded by Zhang Qing last time, and he also had some thoughts in his heart. It's just that he rarely goes out, and Zhang Chao and Zhang Qi's brothers are not at home all day, and he doesn't dare to relax in his studies, where can he find any friends? It's easy to have an afternoon of free time today, he walked around the whole house, he didn't think of where to spend time, and he was even more blind when he wanted to go out, and he heard that Zhang Yue had a guest here, so he temporarily came to take a look, but then he retreated.

"I don't have to read this afternoon, so let's see if you have time to see the third brother, since you have a guest, then I'll go......"

Hearing this, and seeing Zhang Zhen turn around and leave, Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment. He is a shrewd person, and after a little thought, he thought through thoroughly, and dragged the person without waiting for Zhang Zhen to take a few steps. Because Zhang Zhen practiced martial arts for three days and dried nets for two days, his body was thin, and now he was half a head shorter than him, and his hand strength was far less than him, so he didn't have much effort to pull people back. Looking at the fourth brother who used to have eyes on the top of his head, he suddenly knocked on the little head.

"You're here to hide from me, since you're here, say you want to leave, just come in together."

The three people in the house were talking about when they were going to Shichahai to play, and they couldn't help but feel a little strange when they saw Zhang Yue pulling a teenager in. Sun Han had seen Zhang Zhen before, and knew that this was the grandson of the head of the Zhang family, and he was also the top of the old lady's heart, so he introduced the other two without waiting for Zhang Yue to speak.

Wan Shijie and Xia Ji are both informal temperaments, and they don't care that everyone is just a new acquaintance, and they immediately greeted each other as if they were acquaintances. Zhang Zhen was a little apprehensive when he was pressed down by Zhang Yue at first, but when he saw that no one else regarded him as an outsider, he gradually felt at ease, and the conversation gradually increased. When the three of them invited him to visit Shichahai five days later, he agreed without thinking about it. After agreeing, he glanced at Zhang Yue uneasily.

Zhang Yue shook his head and refused the invitation, and said with a smile: "I was ordered to go back to Beijing and didn't dare to wander around, and I don't know when I have to leave, and it's not easy to go to Shichahai." I'll hand over Xiaosi to you, just don't bring people to me. ”

"Come on, he is your younger brother in Yuanjie, and he is also my future brother-in-law, what face will I use to see your old lady in the future if I bring him down? If you put 10,000 hearts, let's just go to Shichahai to scatter our hearts. ”

With Sun Han's promise, Zhang Yue sent the person out of the Hanging Flower Gate with a smile. When he turned around and saw that Zhang Zhen was still standing there, he reminded: "Sun Han lives in Yingcheng Bofu, Brother Wan and Brother Xia both live in Xipailou Lane, they are both hearty and uninhibited, if you have free time on weekdays, you can go out to visit, just send someone to say it in advance." Brother Wan and Junior Brother Xia are both top in terms of knowledge, you have to go through the imperial examination, and there is no harm in having more contact with them. ”

Only then did Zhang Zhen know that his thoughts were clear to Zhang Yue, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed. It wasn't until Zhang Yue smiled and turned around to leave that he came back to his senses and hurriedly chased after him.

"Third brother, if you are at home these days, if I don't understand something in my schoolwork......"

Hearing what Zhang Zhen said, Zhang Yue said: "If you have something to do, even if you come to the West Courtyard, what else do your brothers have to say?" Don't be bored at home all day long, be careful to read as a nerd, it will be more than worth the loss! ”

Although it is the heart of his grandmother and mother, Zhang Zhen's temperament is a little withdrawn and arrogant after all, and the next person sees him only as a promise, and the girl in his own room only thinks he is the master, Zhang Chao Zhang Qi does not treat him as an outsider, but he will not be careful enough to care about his thoughts and thoughts, and it is impossible for Zhang Qing, who is married, to take care of him all the time. Therefore, seeing Zhang Yue's full of promises, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard that Zhang Yue was going to the North Courtyard, he simply went with him.

Zhang Yue originally thought that only Lingxi was accompanying the Gu family in the north courtyard, but he and Zhang Zhen entered the door one after the other, only to find that there were people standing in the hall. Gu is leaning on the backrest and pillow on the wall at this moment, Bai Fang is fanning her on the edge of the kang, on the left is Feng and Aunt Qin of the long room, on the right is Aunt Luo and Li Yun Fennel of the Dongfang family, and in the middle is a young woman with a slightly bulging abdomen.

Gu didn't expect Zhang Yue to enter the room with Zhang Zhen, his eyes swept over the faces of the brothers, and his originally ugly complexion gradually calmed down. The family and everything is prosperous, and she doesn't want to make a big deal in front of her grandchildren, so she said lightly at the moment: "Since you accidentally fell into the water before, it is also appropriate to recuperate and have a safe baby." But there are rules in a family, no matter what reason can not prohibit your wife from entering the door, I don't care what the situation is, but I am a big tomorrow dynasty, pay attention to the dignity and humility of the concubine, pay attention to the natural reason. ”

Zhang Yue pulled Zhang Zhen aside after saluting, and at this time, when he heard his grandmother's words, he knew that the housework in the second room was a big problem, and it was really not the right time for him to come. However, he found that when he heard the four words of respect and humility, he couldn't see the expression of Aunt Fang clearly, but Dongfang Clan was slightly discolored. At this moment, his heart was suddenly shocked.

These words knocked Aunt Fang, and at the same time, she even piggybacked on the second and third rooms! Although it was mostly a reminder of the Dongfang clan, it was really not a taste to listen to his ears.

The big reason was pressed down, and the Dongfang clan, who was originally angry and came to complain, could only swallow his anger, but Fang Shuixin was full of anger. Whether it is before or after marriage, who dares to give her such a look? But as soon as she thought of Zhang You's advice, she gritted her teeth and replied yes. After Gu's lesson was finished, she excused herself to retreat under the pretext of being heavy, but she didn't notice that when she turned around and walked out of the house, everyone in the room had different faces.

Gu Shi was full of anger at this time, and sent everyone else away, leaving only Zhang Zhen. After asking a few words, she learned that Zhang Yue had introduced Zhang Zhen to a few friends and was willing to help him with his studies, she couldn't help but feel relieved, and stretched out her hand to gently rub Zhang Zhen's head.

"Learn from your third brother well, and it doesn't hurt to go out and walk more. I'm old, and I don't know how many years I'll be able to stay in this house, and I don't know when your dad will come back......"
