Chapter 554: What is Ruyi?

The new monarch ascended the throne, the governor's office of the five armies was redesigned, and there were more nobles out of the town than before. Among them, Wu'anhou Zheng Hengyang, Wubo, Zhang You, etc. are unchanged, in addition, Baoding Hou Mengying Zhenxuanfu, Wujin Bo, Zhurong Town, Liaodong, Xiangcheng Bo, Li Long Town, Shanhaiguan, Xing'an Bo, Xu Heng Town, Datong, Anping Bo, Li Anzhang, Sichuan are all commanding envoys...... For a time, except for Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, who was in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and was temporarily idle due to an old illness, there were almost few nobles who were still in Beijing.

Since Baoding Marquis Meng Ying went to Xuanfu, Meng Jun, who had been in Xuanfu for more than two years, naturally returned to Beijing. When he left, he was still a wealthy and noble son, but now he has returned with a burly and strong man, and the whole person has a sharp spirit that is exposed. He has made many meritorious contributions and been promoted in the past two years, and now as soon as he returns to Beijing, he will be awarded the command of the Shenwu Right Guard, he himself feels that this kind of dull day is a little boring, but Zhang Qing is overjoyed.

Because Zhang Yue was about to go to Nanjing, the couple invited each other with wine in the Baoding Hou Mansion on this day. Meng Jun and Zhang Yue haven't been together for a long time, and they can't help but drink a few more glasses between them, especially when Meng Jun, who has been trained in Xuanfu, changed to a big cup at the beginning, so when Zhang Yue was slightly drunk, he was drunk. Zhang Qing followed the girl down and settled him down, and then turned back.

"It is said that the penitent husband is looking for a marquis, and I only now understand the meaning of this. Your daughter-in-law is probably the same, but not only are you busy, but now she is also busy, and she is still in the British Mansion today. I don't think if the eldest aunt couldn't bring it up, she would have wanted to borrow your daughter-in-law for a year and a half. ”

Zhang Qing took a decanting soup from the girl's hand to Zhang Yue, and said with a wry smile: "Your eldest brother-in-law has been away for so many years, and other skills are just enough, but the amount of alcohol has increased!" I really don't want him to go out. The two in his room were like ornaments, and my concubines said behind their backs that I was a jealous woman. But he hasn't been back all these years, and I've only been to Xuanfu once...... In fact, although he didn't say it, he didn't bring anything back this time, but he and I were husband and wife, and some things just knew each other, and no one would say anything. How can things be so good in the world? ”

She sighed deeply as she spoke, then shook her head with a wry smile, and then said with concern: "When you go to Nanjing this time, I have nothing to advise, you have already been an adult." It's just that most of your family's manpower has been brought back to Kaifeng Mansion, and now it is inevitable that there will be a shortage, I discussed with your eldest brother-in-law, and the Baoding Hou Mansion in Nanjing will be deployed by you. ”

Most of the noble families are married to each other, but a good couple like Meng Jun and Zhang Qing is rare, so Zhang Yue just saw the love of husband and wife, and heard Zhang Qing's emotion, he wanted to comfort but felt redundant, and when he heard this, he was busy laughing and said: "Eldest sister, I am going to Nanjing to be Tianfucheng, how can you and your eldest brother-in-law think that it is a tiger's den in Longtan!" ”

"Nanjing originally had Chengguo Gong and Xiangcheng Bo, one is the old friend of the hall uncle, and the other is your sister-in-law's brother-in-law, if they are all here, then naturally there is nothing to worry about, but there is no one to rely on at the moment." Zhang Qing glared at Zhang Yue angrily, and said angrily, "I don't know your temperament yet?" Even if you have any difficulties, you put it in your stomach, but your eldest brother-in-law is much more vigilant now, and I am not a fool. With such a number of people, you should naturally be more relaxed. Second, after all, our Meng family took the lead in such a major event of rebellion, if there is anything in the future...... It's just atonement for sins! ”

"I didn't expect my eldest brother-in-law to think so long-term. That being the case, I am disrespectful. Eldest sister, you should be careful in Jingshi. Now it seems that the overall situation has been decided, but in fact, there are many variables, although the Beijing Master is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is also a place of right and wrong. ”

Since Zhang Qing said this, Zhang Yue did not refuse. After the meal, his nephew Meng Ang, who was like a little adult, came to visit, he gave a copper knife as a gift, and played with it for a while, and when a mother took the child down, he was about to leave, but at this time, someone outside the door reported that the fourth lady and the eldest young master and grandmother of the Sun family came together. Zhang Qing was also a little surprised in her heart, glanced at Zhang Yue, and hurriedly ordered someone to come in.

"I asked people to invite the second sister first, and at that time she also said that the wife of the family was sick and wanted to serve, who knew that she would come uninvited at this time. But the fourth sister is a rare guest...... Before, her father-in-law and mother-in-law planned to settle the marriage for the fourth sister, but she had to wait for the two younger brothers to marry wives, and now the third brother and the fifth brother are in Daning, this matter has been delayed, and I don't know when I will be able to get married. The cuimo girl next to her was loyal, and a young steward in the Hou Mansion went to propose marriage, but she touched a gray nose. ”

Zhang Yi's temperament is not as refreshing as Zhang Qing, coupled with the relationship between her background, she rarely returned to the door in the past, and Zhang Yue was often busy outside, since Zhang Yi got married, she rarely saw this second sister, but often met Sun Han. At this moment, seeing the couple coming in together and coming up to salute again, he couldn't help but joke, and then met Meng Min's master and servant again.

Because Sun Han made a look, he knew that this brother-in-law must have something to say, so he went outside with Sun Han as soon as he confessed. Sure enough, Sun Han casually drove away a few people under the corridor, and then lowered his voice and said: "That guy in Fangling really forgot his book, I specially asked someone to come to deliver the post, but he refused to come." Since he didn't come, it was not interesting for me to buy wine for you alone, so I simply used the eldest sister to see you off first, just because the family affairs were delayed until now. ”

The news of Fang Ling's promotion to the commander of the Jinyi Guard has long spread - although the previous system was that the noble sons of the Jinyi Guards were only responsible for traveling to escort or the Han generals who stood in front of the palace, but now it is different - according to the news they received, Fang Ling, the commander of the guards, even followed the command envoy Wang Jie to Beizhen to Fu Sishi, and the favor can be seen. At this time, hearing Sun Han say indignantly, Zhang Yue shook his head at him angrily.

"Don't just complain about people, everyone has problems. The most important thing in Fangling's current position is to be cautious and be cautious and have less contact with people, after all, the future is not easy to come by. By the way, what else did he say when he asked someone to talk to you? ”

Sun Han was originally annoyed, but since Zhang Yue said so, he thought about his similar situation to Fang Ling, and gradually relieved: "Forget it, it's rare for him to have today." Speaking of which, I am much luckier than him, at least my father is always better than his father and brother, and my marriage is still satisfactory, unlike his bumpy road. In addition to having people bring a message this time, he also brought such a letter, you can see for yourself. ”

After taking the letter and opening it, Zhang Yue saw the few lines on it that penetrated the back of the paper. The meaning between the lines is very simple, but it is an apology such as saying that the military is too busy to come to see him off, and there are no superfluous words. However, looking at the abrupt words of military affairs, he always felt that there was something else, so he folded the letter again and put it in his arms, and motioned for Sun Han to come closer.

"Now the hall is the prince, and he is in charge of the military governor's mansion, you are the in-law of the Zhang family, and the inner palace guards are afraid that they won't be able to do it for long, you know this matter in your heart, there is always a promotion, but I don't know what boss you will meet, you should be vigilant." In addition, in the past few days, you have taken the opportunity of Fang Ling to come to the door to make a fuss at home one day to see what he has to say. ”

"Trouble?" Although Sun Han is said to be a smart person, where is there so many twists and turns like Zhang Yue's stomach, he can't help but be a little suspicious at this time, "I said third uncle, do you mean that Fang Ling will not come to see you off, except that he is now the commander of Jinyiwei, and he can't interact with people casually, there are other unspeakable hidden?" ”

"Anyway, you're right to do what I say. You don't have to be deliberate, you have a temper, and no one will suspect otherwise. ”

Zhang Yue didn't explain, and pulled Sun Han back with his hand, remembering the last time he went to Fang's house to see Fang Ling. If he was not mistaken, he was afraid that Fang Ling's original downfall was precisely to attract people with intentions, and the same was true of the inexplicable transfer back later. Now that guy has been promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, it is like a fragrant fishing bait, whoever takes the bait is unlucky.

Several women in the room were talking, Zhang Qing, as the hostess, was constantly laughing, Zhang Yi only occasionally interjected a sentence or two, most of the time it was just like a stuffy gourd, and Meng Min only answered from time to time. And Cui Mo, who was in the outhouse, laughed at the ridicule of several big girls, and hardly spoke.

Suddenly, as soon as the curtain was lifted, several girls saw Zhang Yue and Sun Han coming in together, and hurriedly stepped forward, and Cuimo also stood up. The girls hugged Sun Han and entered the room, but Zhang Yue fell behind, one foot was about to step into the threshold, he saw that it was lively inside, so he stopped, and casually put down the curtain and turned around.

At this time, there was no one outside, and although there were voices inside, it was blocked by the thick curtains, so Zhang Yue nodded at Cuimo, and then asked bluntly: "Cuimo, are you living well in Beijing now?" ”

"Okay." Cui Mo nodded instinctively, and then said in a low voice, "It's just that the little five girls yesterday...... Well, I can't change my mouth for a while...... When she came to the house, she cried again. Although she told Miss and I not to tell anyone, I looked at her so pitifully. Young Master Yue, is it possible that Master Wan will come back safely? ”

Zhang Yue thought of Xiao Wu, and felt uncomfortable, so he immediately nodded and said, "Jiren has his own natural appearance, he will come back safely." ”

"Then I'll rest assured, such a matching pair, there shouldn't be any friction in the first place." Cui Mo sighed with relief, and then showed a shallow smile, "There are too many unsatisfactory people in this world, if even she is unsatisfactory, then God is too ruthless." Miss and I came here today to tell grandma that we should go back to Baishazhuang......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yue interrupted them: "You are all old and weak women and children now, and you can still take care of each other when you live in Beijing, and it is really unnecessary to go back to Baishazhuang." Just now, the eldest sister also told me that the fourth sister insisted on waiting for Meng Tao and Meng Fan to marry his wife before mentioning marriage, and you also rejected several marriages...... None of these arguments are my responsibility, I just want to say, don't keep suffering yourself. ”

"I have a hope in my heart, a thought, and I don't feel that there is any hardship in life." Cui Mo glanced around, and suddenly suppressed his voice like a mosquito, "I'm not a person who doesn't know what to do, and I also know that I am alive now to repay my father's kindness, but I have always been unwilling." Rest assured, I will take good care of myself. ”

Zhang Yue knew that Cuimo must have known about Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, about Zhangde, but he couldn't say anything comforting, so he could only nod. He was about to turn around and enter the room, when suddenly, the door curtain was lifted, but Zhang Yi walked out of it. She used to be like a transparent person at home, but after marrying into her husband's family, Zhang Yi had a very smooth life, giving birth to a boy and a girl in four years, so although her stuffy personality has not changed, she is much more generous than before.

"My sister-in-law asked me to come out to see where people are, I don't want you to talk here. Third brother, I'm waiting for you inside, let's go in quickly! Cuimo, if you don't go in again, your young lady should be in a hurry! ”

Zhang Yue saw Zhang Yi dragging Cui Mo into the room, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, so he immediately followed in. Because they are all close family members, a large group of people talk and laugh in the house, and there is no restraint. When it was time to disperse, Zhang Qing personally sent everyone to the Hanging Flower Gate, and suddenly turned his head to see Meng Min's plain dress draped in a white satin cloak, and couldn't help but squint his eyes. Before she could say anything, she saw Meng Min walking towards Zhang Yue.

"The third brother Yue, the third brother and the fifth brother came back from the coffin before and stayed at home for a short time. Both of them are grateful for your reminder, and if they hadn't been out for a while, they wouldn't have known about the hard work of their ancestors, and they only knew that they would have enjoyed it at home. If they can succeed in the future, it is all thanks to your words. ”

"The fourth sister can say this, they and I were very close to each other, of course I hope they are doing well." Looking at the face that used to smile, Zhang Yue spoke again, "Jingshi may not be a good place now, you have to be more careful." ”

"Well, you go to Nanjing too, go back and ask Sister Du for me."

Three groups of people came out of the east corner gate of the Baoding Hou Mansion one after another, and then separated from each other. Watching the two carriages disappear from view, Zhang Yue lowered the curtain. Although he hated the stuffiness of the carriage, firstly, the weather was cold now, and riding a horse in the cold wind was completely sinful, and secondly, he had a headache these days, so he leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly, he only felt that the carriage seemed to stop, and then a figure got on the carriage.

Recognizing the person who got into the car, Zhang Yue only felt that the color of the Su was very dazzling: "Little Wu? ”

"Brother-in-law, you tell me plainly, he ...... Is it true that he can't come back? ”

Seeing Xiao Wu's red eyes, Zhang Yue hurriedly said: "Don't think nonsense, it's just because the heavy snow broke the news." ”

"But in that case, why don't you see me, only let my sister talk to me!"

At this moment, Zhang Yue only sighed softly, then took out a handkerchief and handed it to Xiao Wu, seeing that she just stared at himself after taking it, he smiled and explained: "Without a letter, how can I go to see you?" Don't worry, before I leave Beijing, I will always give you a letter of approval. Lao Wanping's greatest wish in his life is to marry a lovely wife like you, and in the future, his children and grandchildren will live on his knees and live for a long time, how could he leave you at this time? Seeing such a wishful couple of yours, God will also help. ”
