Chapter 437: Joy in Suffering

Although the people of the Du family are all servants of the world, they have all signed a living deed, just because Du Zhen, a branch of Du Zhen, has always been lenient since the beginning of his ancestors, and Su Song's wealth is extremely heavy, so these simple people in the countryside would rather live with the Du family, and they did not hesitate to leave their hometown to accompany the master's family to Beijing, and they were not like the slaves of wealthy families. The last time Du Zhen went down to Jinyi Guard, he was in Qingzhou after all, and the fright he received at home was quite good, but this time's posture made them really frightened.

Seeing Zhang Yue come in with people, several drenched servants of the Du family in the front yard were suddenly overjoyed, and Yue Shan, who had been in charge of the gatehouse for twenty years, ran forward even faster, and was about to bow down and be supported by Zhang Yue's hands. He didn't know what to say, so he quickly wiped away his tears secretly, and then hurriedly said: "Just now, these people knocked on the door and broke in, which scared everyone." The second lady is comforting her wife at this moment, uncle, you came just in time! ”

"I'll go in, it's raining so hard outside, don't bother to clean up yet, and wait until the rain stops. It's not early now, you go back and change into dry clothes, prepare dinner first, and I'll go to see my mother-in-law, and I'll do everything." ”

Although Zhang Yue didn't say this loudly, several servants were relieved to hear it. Everyone knows that the master has only such a proud protégé for most of his life, and then even the only young lady has been promised to be married, and this uncle is even more favored by the saint on weekdays. So, a group of people hurriedly dispersed to go to their respective jobs without mentioning it, and Zhang Yue entered by himself.

Leaving all the entourage outside the second gate, Zhang Yue went straight to the main room. Due to Du Juan's marriage, there are few people in the inner courtyard now, and it is a rainy day, so he has just been troubled by Jinyiwei, and there is no one along the way. From the hall into the main courtyard, he saw that the muddy courtyard was full of footprints, and hurriedly quickened his steps, stepped up the steps and opened the curtain to enter the house. As he pulled his wet raincoat from his body, he screamed.

"Mother-in-law, Little Five!"

Hearing this voice, the pine-colored soft curtain of the side room was suddenly opened a crack, and the little head that poked out was surprised and happy when he saw Zhang Yuedeng, and suddenly knocked the curtain open: "Brother-in-law, you are here!" When those people came in just now, their faces were terrifyingly cold, and the dead eunuch in the lead was grinning, and said that the emperor was just angry before he had a relationship, which was not supposed to do his father's business...... It's too much to arrest people if you don't do your father's business! ”

"Little Wu, don't talk nonsense!"

As he spoke, Qiu Shi also left the house. Because she heard such news suddenly, she was also shocked for a while just now, and her eyes were a little red at this time, but she still showed a kind smile when she saw Zhang Yue. Shaking her head at Xiao Wu with slight disgust, she hurriedly instructed Zhang Yue to take off the half-wet clothes outside, and personally went inside to get Du Zhen's old clothes for him to change. After finishing this, she explained: "That father-in-law is still restrained by his subordinates, and he is not too embarrassed, he took his things and left, and he never led the sheep in the house. ”

"How nonsense am I talking about, my father is very busy every night these days, just to write those Chen, and he stays up all night until his eyes are red!" Xiao Wu didn't give up, and he defended with his neck stiff, "But the dead eunuch is about to leave with something casually, if I don't wrap it in an oilcloth, I'm afraid that this road will be wet with rain, how can the emperor see it at that time?" No wonder the master left the hospital in the first place, this court is too dark......"

"Little Five!"

After eating Qiu's glare, Xiao Wu finally didn't dare to open his mouth anymore, so he stood aside angrily and didn't speak. Zhang Yue knew that she had met the emperor several times with Dao Yan, and she had been spoiled by Dao Yan and Du Juan, so she developed this temper now, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and turned around to help Qiu sit down.

"Although it is unknown what is going on today, since it is Xia Shangshu of the household department and the Dali Cheng who used to act the household department were imprisoned, it is mostly because of the salary of the Northern Expeditionary Army. After all, the emperor is old, and he is suffering from rheumatism, and everything has not gone well from last year to this year, so he can't help but be angry with the minister. My father-in-law now has a lot of dealings with Xia Shangshu because of his official duties, and it should only be temporary. It is expected that it will be okay for the emperor to vent his anger, after all, the household department cannot do without Xia Shangshu, and he will always be released when the time comes. Besides, my father-in-law is not friends or parties, and he was able to come out of it safely last time, so he must be able to do it this time. I'm going to think about it, and I'm not going to sit back and watch my father-in-law suffer in it. ”

"With you, I'm naturally relieved."

Qiu Shi liked Zhang Yue at the beginning, and when he heard this comfort, he immediately felt comfortable in his heart, so he nodded happily. She and her husband have been separated for more than ten years, and it is easy to reunite but they have encountered Du Zhen's colleagues in prison, naturally no more than those women who have not experienced anything, the nervousness after hearing the news at first gradually faded, after all, it is her consistent nature to be happy in suffering. When dinner was brought outside, she had to pull Zhang Yue to use it together. Seeing Xiao Wu sitting there sulking with a rice bowl, she even smiled and took a piece of braised pork and sent it over.

"Well, I'm always frowning at a young age, and I won't be able to get married when the time comes! Don't talk about the emperor behind your back, the emperor is still generous, your father ran for ten years, and if he can't be recruited, there will be no follow-up, if he stays at Hong Wuye, I'm afraid our mother and daughter will be implicated. Since your brother-in-law said that the emperor is angry, I think there will always be a limit, according to the emperor's attitude towards your father, you should still believe in him. ”

Seeing Qiu Shi looking at him with a smile, Xiao Wu suddenly felt that he was very angry. However, she didn't dare to lose her temper with Qiu, so she simply glared at Zhang Yue and snorted before she took care of herself. For this level of anger, Zhang Yue didn't take it to heart, seeing that Qiu's appetite was not bad, he couldn't help but admire her optimism and know his fate, and he was more at ease.

After dinner, Qiu waited for Zhang Yue to change his clothes, and then ordered Xiao Wu to send him out. She didn't greet Zhang Yue, she walked in front of her head with a lantern, at this time the rain had stopped, the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed a lot, and a round bright moon was looming in the clouds. The shadowy stars did not hesitate to sprinkle a lot of starlight, but the glimmer of the lanterns seemed dim.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the second gate, Xiao Wu suddenly muttered in a low voice: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, this is the first Mid-Autumn Festival after I recognized my father, and now it is all ruined!" Dad is such a good person, why did he just bump into this kind of thing, who will pay my daddy! ”

Zhang Yue was still thinking about how to remind Xiao Wu not to say too extreme words, but when he heard such words, the words that came to his mouth were immediately swallowed back into his stomach. Thinking of Du Juan's life experience of Xiao Wu, he gradually understood her mood a little - it was easy to have relatives who loved her and loved her, but suddenly encountered this kind of situation, how could this be something that her little girl could bear? Disturbed by today's heavy rain and this sudden incident, he has completely forgotten that tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion Night......

Taking a deep breath, he hurried a few steps forward to cross Xiao Wu, and then turned around and said to her seriously: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is held every year, and there will be opportunities in the future." Take good care of your mother-in-law, good people will be rewarded, believe me. ”

Seeing Zhang Yue's serious face, Xiao Wu tilted his head and thought about it, feeling that Zhang Yue had always had a good reputation in guaranteeing tickets, so he nodded vigorously at the moment, but he still added uneasily: "However, brother-in-law, you go back and discuss with your sister!" ”

"Got it, don't I want to leave the good wife of the family?"

Zhang Yue, who returned home under the moonlight, learned that his grandmother Gu had not yet slept, so he had to go there first. Because the old man was also extremely concerned about Du Zhen's affairs, he accompanied him to explain a few words, and waited until Gu Shi rested before hurriedly returning to the room. As soon as he entered his own room, he saw Lingxi being there to pack up his things, and when he saw him coming, she hurriedly pointed to the east house with her index finger, and Zhang Yue, who knew about it, hurriedly lifted the curtain and entered the house, but saw that her mother was sighing there, but it was Du Juan who was comforting.

As soon as Sun raised her head when she heard the movement, she couldn't help but be angry when she saw Zhang Yue, Huo Di stood up and reprimanded: "There is such a big thing, the whole family is in a hurry, you don't know how to let people report a letter early, and come back so late, leaving your daughter-in-law alone to worry about things!" I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow, and suddenly something happens, how can I go! ”

"Mother, I went to see my mother-in-law first, and I came back after dinner. Because I was anxious at that time, I was only busy asking people to inquire about the news, and I forgot to let people come back and let me know. ”

Seeing that Sun was angry, Zhang Yue hurriedly stepped forward to explain, and seeing that her face looked better, he hurriedly moved out the words that had comforted Qiu before, and it was easy to coax his mother, who had a straight temperament, to leave. At this time, he turned around and saw that Du Juan, who was standing there, had taken off the layer of calmness just now, his face was full of melancholy, and he knew it in his heart. Knowing that Du Xuan Bingxue was smart, he naturally wouldn't blindly say some words of comfort to her, so he pulled her to sit on the kang.

"This time the incident came suddenly, when I arrived at the Du family just now, Jin Yiwei had just left, and it seemed that he had taken a few copies of the book that my father-in-law had not had time to give to the emperor according to the holy order. Although it is a good thing that the emperor is still willing to watch his father's twists and turns, I am afraid that these twists and turns are good, but they are not in line with the emperor's current mood. I've asked people to inquire, but I'm afraid it's useless to just intercede now, and I have to come up with something useful. Today, the emperor asked me whether the northern expedition could be transported by sea, and I replied that I was afraid that it would not be useful this time, and the emperor was a little unhappy. Now I'm going to write a detailed piece of music overnight, ready to use in the future, Sister Juan, your handwriting is similar to mine, and the transcription will be handed over to you. ”

Facing her husband with a solemn face, Du Juan didn't understand what he meant, nodded without much thought, and simply replied with one word: "Okay." ”
