Chapter 384: There are good wives inside, and good friends outside

Because almost everyone in the house has to mourn, and it is already late, only the west corner door of the Zhang family is still open, and a dim plain paper lantern is hung on it. Both porters had already yawned, but as long as they heard the movement, they would still poke their heads out from time to time to watch, and then whispered again. Seeing that the snow was getting denser and the wind was getting stronger, the two couldn't help but stomp their feet again and again to keep warm, and in the end, they couldn't stand it anymore, so they couldn't help but sneak to the hut next to them to keep warm.

However, they only stole for a short while, and suddenly a voice came from outside: "Where are the people?" ”

Hearing this voice, the two porters, one old and one young, suddenly jumped up, and walked out of the warm room in three steps and two steps. The body that had just covered the heat was blown by the cold wind, and then seeing the gloomy face of the person in front of them, the two of them suddenly shivered together, and then lowered their hands and shouted, "Master." ”

Since the eldest brother Zhang Xin and the third brother Zhang Zhuo were not there, Zhang You was made an earl, so the family had a deep tacit understanding to omit the word "two", and even Dongfang was directly called his wife. However, after all, the latter has been in charge of housework for many years, but Zhang You rarely cares about these. Seeing that this old man, who had never been in the front yard since he came back, appeared here at this time, the two porters were a little curious in addition to being frightened.

"Since you haven't closed the door yet, you should be careful, if you let the thief in, you can afford to be guilty?"

Zhang You reprimanded with a straight face, but no longer looked at the two of them, but stood in the snow with his hands behind his back. A henchman behind him held an umbrella high for Zhang You, but it was very difficult to understand in his heart. To say that on weekdays, Zhang Chao and Zhang Qi's brothers often come back late, but they have never seen the master so concerned, why is he so irritable today as if he has changed a person? Besides, the third young master has already sent someone back to report the message, so do you need the master to come here and wait in person?

After standing for a quarter of an hour, Zhang You turned around, and was about to say something to the two trembling porters, when he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside. Estimating that it should be Zhang Yue coming back, he hurriedly turned around and walked back to the door, and happened to see six or seven people dismounting in front of the door, and it was really Zhang Yue who hit the head. Seeing that Zhang Yue walked forward quickly after seeing him, he nodded, beckoned to him, and walked inside side by side.

"Have you seen the emperor?"

"Before, a lieutenant official came out to pass on the emperor's message, asking me to come to the Qianqing Palace early tomorrow morning to meet me...... Second uncle, I heard that the emperor decreed to drop out of the dynasty for three days? ”

"It has always been the princess and princess who died before reporting the funeral, and this time it is not so much that the emperor is grief, but rather that it is angry and angry. If it was just the prince of King Zhao, who knew that the prince of Han was also critically ill at this time. However, I am afraid that the most painful thing for the emperor is the emperor's grandson. Although the crown prince just said that the imperial grandson occasionally felt the cold, so he had to temporarily postpone the trip, but Qin Tianjian said that the astrological signs were not conducive to the emperor and grandson, and it would be strange if the emperor could control it. ”

Although Zhang You is only the governor of the Left Army Governor's Mansion, because Baoding Hou Mengying is now almost in a state of semi-retirement, he is actually half in charge. Of course, the transfer of military power belongs to the Ministry of War, but it is these nobles who really lead the troops, and there is always such and such a connection with the inner court, so the news is twice as well-informed as those civilian officials. After explaining to Zhang Yue about the reaction of the heroes and nobles after today's news came out, he stopped when he entered the second gate and walked a stone's throw along the road.

"The old lady has just rested, and now that she's old, you don't have to go there tonight. Tomorrow is your second aunt's twenty-seven, you don't have time to go, I discussed with the old lady, it's cold, your daughter-in-law is heavy, and you don't have to go. Your second cousin will not pick this kind of thorn when he is trembling right now. It's your big brother's business, and I have to thank you. ”

"Second uncle, I really don't dare to take this word of thanks, I should have reported this matter to you and grandmother earlier."

"Not only do I thank you, but I also thank your daughter-in-law. Because of your daughter-in-law's persuasion, your sister-in-law is hard not to be virtuous, and after coming back that day, a few words made that bastard kid embarrassed, and now the couple is at least no longer lukewarm and lukewarm, maybe there will be some turnaround. ”

Thinking of this, Zhang You couldn't help but be quite satisfied. Although Xiangcheng Bo stayed in Nanjing, Li Yun's temper would not pull his mother's family over to make a big noise, but it is always bad to have peace at home. At this moment, he had already thrown the so-called Zhang Chao's outer room out of the clouds, and he didn't even bother to think about the origin of that woman, and the topic turned to the holy order that Zhang Yue received this time. After asking a few words, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction when he learned that Liu Sheng had mentioned it before.

"This is not a war, meticulous first, I'm just worried that you did something wrong in a hurry, or An Yuanhou is thoughtful."

After separating from Zhang You, Zhang Yue went straight back to his western courtyard. As soon as he entered the main room, a hot breath hit his face, and he couldn't help but itch his nose and sneeze several times in a row. There was such a commotion, and Autumn Scar, who had fallen asleep curled up on a chair covered with a royal blue cloak, suddenly woke up. Seeing that it was Zhang Yue, she hurriedly jumped up, casually threw the cloak aside, and stepped forward to quickly untie the cloak for Zhang Yue. found that it was two pieces inside and outside, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Take out this piece tomorrow for people to wash well, and when I have time, I will return it to Mr. Minze in person."

Du Juan also came out of it with the help of Amber at this time, and when he heard Zhang Yue's order, he couldn't help but smile and said: "I just thought that you didn't have this one when you went out in the morning, it turned out to be the kindness of Master Shen." Just now seeing that the snow is getting colder and colder, I got the message that you sent someone back, and the old lady was worried that you would not be able to come back for a while. I said to the old lady, you took over this incident was already conspicuous, and there are many people who pay attention to you, and one bad thing is that everyone looks sideways. If you don't come back tonight, you'll be quietly sent over tomorrow morning. ”

"You're right not to let people go, at that time, among the large number of officials who came out of the left gate of Chang'an, at least nine out of ten were staring at me, it was Mr. Min Ze who asked Brother Ning Qing to undress and give him away, and he would not attract others to talk about it when he turned back."

After Zhang Yue finished speaking, he took the hot towel handed by Qiu Zhen and wiped it on his face. After putting down the towel, seeing that Du Juan's body was now more and more pregnant, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the arm on the other side, and asked, "It's not early, why don't you go to bed early?" If I don't come back tonight, will you wait a night? ”

"Who is waiting for you, I am waiting for Xiao Wu!" Seeing Zhang Yue's helplessness on his face, Du Juan couldn't help but laugh, "I have already mentioned it to Amber, at most, when you arrive in Hai, you will go to sleep if you don't come back." I was pulling Autumn Scars to do needlework inside, and she said that she would wait for you outside, but she fell asleep not long after, and it was still the cloak that Amber came out to cover her. ”

"I'm just sleepy and napping......"

Qiu Zhen's face was slightly red, and after answering a sneer, he peeked at Du Juan uneasily, because he saw that she seemed to be smiling at herself, so she hurriedly took the basin of residual water and went out to splash it, but she didn't come in for a long time. So, Amber helped Du Juan to sit down, and found an excuse to avoid it, and only the husband and wife were left in the room.

"Although the county lord lives in the palace, all the news is from the county lord's mansion. In the afternoon, someone came there, saying that the county lord's nurse should be sick, but Xiao Wu went there in the afternoon, and when he came back, he came back with news - the emperor issued an order early this morning to summon King Zhou to enter Beijing in February next year. Xiao Wu went to the British Mansion with Dr. Feng at night, and he probably won't come back, and I can't sleep early when I go to bed, so I'm waiting for you. ”

"I knew that the good wife was indeed waiting for me." Zhang Yue smiled, and immediately paid attention to the first half of the sentence, "Did the emperor personally tell the county lord about summoning the king of Zhou to Beijing, or did the county lord find out?" Did you say that this was for someone to sue King Zhou for rebellion? ”

"It was the emperor who said it to the county lord himself, and now that the matter has been clearly issued, naturally there is no need to hide it from her, and the emperor has also made it clear that someone has told her. The county lord also reminded that the situation has been very bad recently, so you should be cautious in everything. Du Juan saw that Zhang Yue's expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What, did you get other news?" ”

At this moment, Zhang Yue stood up: "I just said that I always feel uneasy, it turns out that this is the case!" How could a very measured person from the county lord rashly let a eunuch pass a message and want to see me privately in the palace? There is a good wife inside and a good friend outside, what kind of character is she, I should have thought of it a long time ago......"

In the outer hall, Qiu Zhen had just sneaked in, and at this time she was quietly looking inside through the gap in the door curtain, and saw Zhang Yue suddenly stand up, she was afraid of leaking the stuffing, so she hurriedly turned around and wanted to slip away, but she didn't want to face an angry face. Startled, she quickly pulled up the amber, and when she got to the west suite, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Good thing no one saw it, otherwise it would have been over! Amber, do you need to be so scary? ”

Amber saw that Qiu Scar's face was not happy, and couldn't help but remind: "If you really want to know what the young master and the young grandmother are talking about, just speak out and go in?" Even if they are talking about the right thing, they usually don't avoid you and me. ”

"Who's going to listen to them?" Qiu Zhen sat down, kneading the corners of her clothes and muttered, "Sister Lingxi asked the old lady to call back, who knows when it will be our turn to ......" She suddenly raised her head and looked at Amber seriously, "Amber, you said that when Miss Meng's three-year filial piety period expires, will the young master marry her together?" Also, the young master and the young grandmother often talk about the county lord now, is it ......?"

"Sister Autumn Scarre!" Amber was genuinely angry and funny at this time, so she had to drink her in one gulp, "You think too much!" ”

"Where do I think too much!" Qiu Zhen stood up unconvinced, but stared at Amber and said word by word, "A few days ago, Linglong came in to see me, and said that there are many outsiders in the family who are older girls who come to ask for matching, Amber, you ask yourself what you think, are you really willing to marry those vulgar guys?" Linglong also mentioned that many people had asked her father-in-law, the tall butler, how to ransom people from our house, and some people said that they were your relatives. ”

Knowing that although Autumn Scar was straightforward, he would not intentionally stab himself in this kind of thing, and Amber's face couldn't help but gradually change. Thinking about her behavior in the recent period of time, and making sure that she hadn't even taken a step towards the second door, she suddenly didn't have the heart to pay attention to Qiu Zhen's angry words, and ran out in a hurry after hitting the curtain.
