Chapter 54: The Man Who Saw Him Off

The Zhang family's mansion, which used to be full of traffic, is now sparsely populated, and even the poor relatives who come to the door to fight the autumn breeze are fewer. However, although Zhang Xin was taken away by Jinyiwei, Zhang You was not only a four-rank general, but also a real general, and the third child of the Zhang family was still a person. So, even if there are countless crooked brains, they can only look at the high wall and calculate in their hearts, but the Jin family, the prefect of Kaifeng, has a lot of subtle visitors.

At the back door of Zhang's house is a row of shops of all colors, from dim sum shops to knife and scissors shops to cloth shops to old shops. The house is the property of the Zhang family, but it is rented to the children of the Zhang family's dozens of people who have not assigned a job to do business, and they only take a rent ranging from a few hundred to several thousand yuan a month, and it can be regarded as a first-class virtue and politics among the subordinates. So this backstreet is bustling every day.

On this day, seeing that a troika suddenly pulled out of the black oil gate, followed by more than a dozen people dressed in one-color clothes, the old and young of several adjacent shops who were trading on the street suddenly whispered. When I saw that there were a few girls dressed in red and green at the back door, two neatly dressed housekeepers' daughters-in-law, three gorgeously dressed young men, and the famous tall housekeeper of the Zhang family, a group of people looked at each other, and they all had numbers in their hearts.

With such a big battle, I'm afraid that the three masters of the Zhang family are going to the south!

There are many people who see the excitement, and some people quietly sneak out to report to certain places. At this time, Zhang Zhen took herbs and medicinal incense into a carriage in the middle, Amber Qiuji and the two older daughters-in-law got on the latter one, and Zhang Chao and Zhang Yue insisted on riding horses, and no one wanted to sit in the stuffy and bumpy carriage, and the housekeeper Gao Quan had no choice but to awkwardly occupy one alone.

When the children of this family traveled, they had to bring a few boxes of clothes and sundries, but this time they were in a hurry, and the three carriages were each carrying a large box. When people and things got into the car, the driver who drove the car shouted and waved a crisp whip, and the car started immediately, and the people on both sides also got on their horses, and dozens of people quickly left the back street.

Kaifeng to Nanjing can be taken by land or water. It's just that the land route has to be bumpy on the road for more than ten days, the water and land are naturally more comfortable and more secure, and the Kaifeng waterway extends in all directions, the six-masted sailing ship of this year is steady and light, and the speed is not much slower than the carriage, so it is naturally the best choice to travel to the south.

"Dad and the third uncle also said that they would send us to the dock, so I said that there was no need, this is going to Nanjing, not to the battlefield, third brother, do you say? A manly man, it's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and this time he finally left home. ”

Zhang Yue glanced at Zhang Chao, who was unstoppably excited, and thought that he and his father Zhang Zhuo didn't matter, but when everyone came back from Nanjing, Zhang You had already gone to Jiaozhi, and the father and son didn't know that they could see each other again in the Year of the Monkey. I don't know if it's because the relationship between father and son has been weak in recent years, or because of Zhang Chao's naturally arrogant personality.

Of course, seeing that Zhang Chao was able to get rid of the shadow of divorce, he also felt happy.

"By the way, last time I told my second brother that I wanted to take you on a boat, but I didn't find a chance. This boat is also from Guangfu Ji, it is a new boat that my grandmother specially asked the third uncle to buy after the big flood, and it is said that it has been improved to make it more stable to sail on the river. It's a pity that the eldest sister, second brother and second sister are not there, otherwise everyone can ......"

Zhang Chao didn't say this after all, because he didn't wake up coldly that this time he was not going to play in the mountains and rivers to relax, but to go to Nanjing with a heavy task. So, he scratched his head curtly, and said to Zhang Yue with some embarrassment: "Third brother, in short, I will listen to you when I go out this time, I will inevitably have no choice but to be in this temperament, and you have to mention me more if there is anything." ”

Zhang Yue naturally knew that this eldest brother had always been spoiled by his second aunt, Dongfang, and he had never released Kaifeng City at the age of seventeen, and this time he went to Nanjing for the first time. It's just that Zhang Chao has a rough personality, but the boldness in his bones is on his spleen and stomach, and he agreed with a smile at the moment, thinking that it will be much more difficult to deal with the little four than to deal with the big brother.

When the group arrived at the dock, the boat boss and sailors who had been prepared immediately greeted him, however, a man in green clothes rushed out next to him, and rushed forward past the others, but he only smiled and saluted Zhang Yue, and then presented a letter with both hands, but vaguely refused to reveal who the person entrusted him to deliver the letter was, so he smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran. Zhang Yue, who was puzzled, originally planned to take it apart and take a look, but when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure on the other side drilling between several big ships, and immediately pulled Zhang Chao.

"Big brother, do you think that's the little seventh brother?"

"Hey, really, why is he here? I watched as the people got on the boat first, and you went over to say hello. ”

Zhang Yue saw Zhang Chao and Gao Quan commanding people to get on the boat, so he walked quickly to Gu Bin, who was looking left and right on the dock. When he got behind the other party, he opened his mouth, and when he turned his head, he asked, "Little Seventh Brother, what are you doing at the dock?" ”

"My dad just heard someone say that you and your eldest cousin were going to Nanjing, so he hurriedly sent me over, but I didn't expect to be just in time!" Gu Bin smiled slightly, and then solemnly took out a cloth bag from his arms, "Over the years, our family has been thanks to your father's care, and you have helped me several times, this time the Zhang family is in danger, and our family's meager strength can't help anything else, so my father asked me to send this." ”

Zhang Yue was a little embarrassed at this time, so he excused himself and said: "It's all your own people, why are you so polite......

He was only halfway through his words, and Gu Bin interrupted: "I know that your family is not short of money, here is a token and a letter from my father." When my father was young, he once helped a nobleman, and I heard that he is now very powerful in Nanjing. Daddy said that he may not leave Kaifeng City in his life, and he doesn't need this, so let me pass it on to you. Although it was more than ten years ago, I may not be able to use other people's face, but I can always give it a try. ”

Zhang Yue pinched the cloth bag, he really didn't know what to say, and it took a long time to come to his senses and sincerely express his gratitude to Gu Bin. When Zhang Chao turned around, he had to say hello and thank him again, and then sent Gu Bin to the entrance of the dock. However, looking at the back from afar, he thought to himself that his grandmother had never taken care of Gu Bin's family, his father was just a drop of water, but people were still thinking about repaying him, and there were really not all treacherous people in this world.

At this moment, another carriage came at a hurry, and it stopped not far in front of him. He thought that there would be no one else to send him off at this moment, so he pulled Zhang Chao and prepared to turn around and get on the boat, but a very anxious voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Wait!"

As soon as he turned around, Zhang Yue caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure jumping from the carriage that had just stopped, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Although at first glance he couldn't tell which of the twin sisters that the pretty boy was, there was no doubt that it was always from the Jin family. He could even hear Zhang Chao gritting his teeth beside him, and he could see the tightly clenched fists.

PS: When I woke up, I actually rushed to the list last week? Oh my God, I've been coding for so long, and I've never been on the weekly push list...... Thank you very much, and at the same time continue to frantically ask for recommendation votes, it seems that the gap with sixteen and seventeen is only one or two hundred votes, which is extremely unreliable. Everyone, help me and put my book on the top, so that I can rarely enjoy the recommendation ^_^ of the weekly push list
