Chapter 144: Face

What a big face...... But is this face his?

When entering the inner courtyard through the Hanging Flower Gate, Zhang Yue had figured out the most obvious truth. In these years, prodigy geniuses are worthless, martial arts masters are worthless, and the most valuable thing is only one thing - strength. If it weren't for his surname Zhang, if he wasn't a junior trusted by Zhang Fu, if he wasn't able to have a powerful person in secret, I was afraid that from the emperor to the emperor's grandson to the king of Anyang and other powerful people, no one would look at him more. Even if Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong look at him differently, they mostly look at Du Zhen's face.

Only Du Zhen, who had taught him carefully in Kaifeng City for four years, was the person who really cared about him outside his relatives. But now that this teacher has gone to a dangerous place like Shandong, it is difficult for him to meet him.

From Yonglu back to the courtyard where his family lived, as soon as he entered the east wing, he saw that there was no one in the main house, and felt that it was quiet all around, and he couldn't help but call out: "Autumn marks, amber!" After calling twice, no one answered, he felt wonderful, lifted the curtain and looked at the left and right rooms, but found that there was no one in the study, and there was no one in the bedroom.

Zhang Yue opened the curtain and went straight to the main room, but found that there were only two little girls who had not yet left their heads, and their parents and Pearl Peony were not there. So, he could only call a little girl and ask, "Do you know where the old lady and your sisters have gone?" ”

"Young master, the third master was sent out by the old lady early in the morning to pay respects. Because the English duchess was happy, the wives and the ladies all went to the old lady's place. The slave maid heard from a few sisters that although the British mansion is big, the old lady thinks that it is not conducive to the safety of the British duchess to live here, and the eldest young master is going to get married, so we have to move to our own house as soon as possible, so I will discuss it with the three wives. ”

The little girl spoke very neatly. Seeing Zhang Yue's thoughtful expression, she hurriedly said, "This Sister Autumn Scar and Sister Amber are not here because of another matter. The news of Mrs. Youxi didn't know how to spread out, Princess Han and Princess Anyang heard that they both sent their older mothers to visit, which was naturally received by several elderly mothers in the house, and Sister Biluo and Sister Xiyu were worried that there would not be enough people, so they invited the two sisters to help. ”

remembered that when she first went out, Mrs. Wang was only a little unwell and had already gone to ask for a doctor, but there was no happy news at that time. Now it was only a few hours later, and the news actually alarmed the two palaces, and such a speed could not help but be a little amazing. Zhang Yue frowned slightly, although he knew that since Autumn Scar Amber was invited by Mrs. Wang, there would definitely be no obstacles, but after thinking about it, he decided to go there. After all, he was not there earlier, and now he should go and say hello.

Mrs. Wang is a British duchess, and this living room is naturally different from the guest room where Zhang Yue and others lived. It's just that the five main rooms in the center have always been hospitable places. She doesn't live in people, she usually lives only in the small courtyard in the east. In the middle of the courtyard are three bright rooms, which are usually strict and do not hear a cough, and on this day, there are visitors from the palace who are naturally even more solemn. A few little girls under the porch who did not leave their heads all stood with their heads bowed and their hands down, and bursts of talking could be heard in the door.

Although Zhang Yue went straight to the hall on weekdays. At this time, knowing that there are people in the palace, it is naturally difficult to enter rashly. Fortunately, a big girl standing by the door had sharp eyes, and when she saw him, she hurriedly greeted him, and after bowing her knees, she whispered: "Young Master Yue, wait outside for a while." The two mothers of Zhao Wangfu and Anyang Wangfu are all old people who served the queen in the past, even in the palace, they are very decent, and they are the most respectful. If it weren't for that, Sister Biluo and Sister Xiyu wouldn't bother your people. ”

There are no rules, there is no circle, Zhang Yue himself knows this truth, he nodded with a smile at the moment, and was about to stand and wait under the porch, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a few unfamiliar girls over there. Several of them are one-color pine flower jackets with dark green armor. It looks extremely solemn and solemn, and almost all of them don't squint. Only one of the youngest girls was bold, and her eyes swept straight across his face, a little surprised, a little surprised, as if she recognized him.

"These are all from the palace?"

Zhang Yue asked in a low voice, and the big girl lowered her voice and replied: "The two on the left are with the Zhou mother from Zhao Wangfu, and the two on the right are with the Li mother from Anyang Wangfu." They should all be girls from the palace. ”

While talking. The door curtain moved, and Zhang Yue only felt that the big girl behind him shrank back quickly. So he put on a solemn face. The next moment, a middle-aged woman wrapped in lapis lazuli and wearing a azure placket, came out first, followed by a woman with a sapphire hairpin in a high bun and a blue hood. Although the two have different appearances, their faces are almost carved out of a mold without smiling expressions, and even the voice of the voice is the same.

The two of them were slightly stunned when they saw Zhang Yue standing under the corridor, and at this time, Biluo Xiyu and the other two mothers sent out the door, and Xiyu hurriedly explained: "Mother Zhou, Mother Li, this is the young master Yue who first went to Beijing to take care of our master." ”

Zhang Yue, the two mothers-in-law of the British Mansion behind Xiyu, had seen it before, and knew that such a high-ranking servant woman should not be taken lightly, not to mention that it was a former Empress Xu and a decent mother in the palace. He stepped forward and called Zhou's mother Li's mother, thinking that the other party might not know his person, but who knew that the two of them actually showed a slight smile.

That week's mother nodded first, probably not smiling often, and the smile seemed to be frozen on the stereotyped face: "I heard the matter of the third prince say it earlier, and it is really a person who is calm and tight." ”

"It's really good, it's strange that our little prince has praised it several times."

Mother Li stretched out her hand and beckoned, and the two girls who followed her hurriedly rushed up. Although he was walking quickly, one of them was stunned that the hem of his skirt barely moved, and even the bell on the belt of his clothes did not make much sound; The other hurried a little, and only after a few crisp jingles did he slow down his pace and move up step by step. And Mother Li frowned when she saw this scene, as if the girl owed her one hundred and eighty taels of silver.

"Cui Mo, it's not been a day or two since you entered the palace, why are you still so unruly?" After she scolded sharply, she turned to Zhang Yue and said, "The third prince probably doesn't recognize her?" First, you and the four girls of the Meng family brought a sister-in-law Kang to the palace to recognize their relatives. As a result, the prince took pity on their mother and daughter, so he took them in, and paid them 8,000 yuan for their crimes, and finally ransomed their masters. Now that their family of three is on an errand in the palace, they will no longer be as without food and clothing as they used to be. ”

Knowing that this was the little girl with a reed stick in the past, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be taken aback. After all, now the green ink in front of him is slim, although it is just the dress of an ordinary girl. It still looks a little timid, but it doesn't have much resemblance to the reed-like figure back then. The only similarity was that she still didn't dare to look up at him, just pinched the corner of her clothes and lowered her eyes.

So, despite his doubts, he still had to say: "King Anyang is really a bodhisattva. ”

"The little prince said that since the third prince and the four girls of the Meng family are ignorant of each other, they can help each other, since they are relatives of Liu's mother. Naturally, the gang had to help. The little prince also said that their family of three owe the third son a great favor, and if they have time in the future, they will let their family of three come to meet the old benefactor. ”

Seeing that Mother Li and Mother Zhou took the girl to say goodbye, Xiyu and others were busy sending it. Zhang Yue stood there, only feeling that he couldn't figure it out and couldn't see through it. He and the family of three were just the fate of Pingshui, and then they helped because of Meng Min's kindness, that's all, so why did King Anyang bother? Eight thousand banknotes are worth eight hundred taels of silver. It is naturally a small amount for the palace, but even if it is a small amount of money, the king of Anyang is not a good person, and there is always something else to take in their family of three.

"Young Master, you are really a big man!"

Hearing this low mutter, Zhang Yue suddenly turned around and saw Qiu Zhen standing there with one hand on his chest, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and asked strangely, "What's the matter with your appearance?" ”

"You've just met those two mothers. Isn't that knowingly asking? Compared with Amber's more and more silent now, Qiu Zhen is now more and more refreshing, and he has something to say in front of Zhang Yue, "Those two big Buddhas are even heavier than the British Duchess, and their eyes are like knives, as if they want to dig a few holes in your body all the time." Listening to Madame praise me and Amber, they probably laughed in their hearts, but they only looked at people with that eerie eye. ”

Autumn marks are exaggerated. Zhang Yue also felt the same way. But at this time, he still glared at her angrily, and immediately lifted the curtain and entered the inner room. Although she said that she followed the two elderly mothers-in-law to give them off. There were still two girls in the room, and Mrs. Wang was sitting on the kang at the west end at this time, and when she saw him come in, she smiled and nodded.

"Auntie, I learned the news late today, and I didn't come to you until this time to say hello, I'm really sorry!"

"What's the reason you can't go, maybe this joy is brought by your father and son."

Although she was a little tired from receiving the two mothers of the palace with the most important rules just now, when she thought that she was indeed happy now, Mrs. Wang's spirit was very good. After saying a few words to Zhang Yue, she showed a thoughtful expression.

"I heard what you said just now, although King Anyang has a good reputation among the royal family, but doing that kind of good thing for no reason makes people a little incomprehensible. You used to be kind, but you might as well stay away from that family in the future. After all, they received the same gift as King Anyang, and this death deed must have been signed a long time ago. As soon as I entered the Hou Gate, it was as deep as the sea, but I didn't know that the door of the palace was countless times deeper than any Hou Mansion, and those feelings in the past were nothing. You have to remember that in the eyes of these royal families, the face of our British government is of no use. ”
