Chapter 434: An Unlucky Year Never Ends......
Chapter 433: An Unlucky Year Is Endless......
Zhu Hu left Zhang Yue to accompany him to drink, and although the people were all left outside, there were still people who were waiting for the wine outside, and a pot of wine was sent inside. Zhang Yue had to accompany Zhu Hu on the head of Xing, and Hu Qi, Zhao Hu and a few other entourages were bitter in the other side, they were entertained with good tea and good food in the flower hall, and seeing that the master was not coming out in the evening, they were all anxious. It's easy to wait until someone inside reports and hurries to the weeping flower door to greet him, but what he sees is Zhang Yue, who was drunk.
The manager who helped Zhang Yue out saw the surprised faces of the group of people in front of him, and hurriedly smiled: "King Chitose Zhou has never been so happy since he came to Jingshi, so I can't help but persuade Xiao Zhang a few more glasses today." I have already sent someone to prepare the carriage just now, and the county lord is sobering up King Zhou Chitose at this time, so let me say hello to you on my behalf, and she will come to the door to apologize in person after tomorrow. ”
Although he was depressed, Hu Qi didn't really want the prince and county lord to apologize, so he stepped forward with Zhao Hu to take over politely, and set up Zhang Yue on the left and right. It was easy to put the man in the carriage, and after a moment of thought, he simply ordered someone to lead his horse and get into the carriage himself. Zhang Yue was groggy all the way and never woke up, and it was easy to get home, and in the face of the interrogation of the housekeeper Gao Quan, he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply told the truth.
Knowing that it was Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, who had poured Zhang Yue into this picture, Gao Quan couldn't help but secretly wonder. In the past, when he was in Kaifeng, there were many gifts from the palace during the New Year's holidays, and some went with the Gu family or the Dongfang family, but even if he was on a birthday, he rarely saw the prince and foreign guests talking about anything. Thinking that it was probably because of the friendship between the third young grandmother and the lord of Chen Liu, he shook his head, followed Hu Qi all the way to the second gate, and watched the two sturdy women come out to take over, so he was relieved.
At this time, Gu Shi and the others had already stopped, although Du Juan had already believed that Zhang Yue was left behind by Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, but he didn't expect it to be so late, and he didn't expect that it would be such a drunk who came back. Because Zhang Yue has always been modestly in drinking, she and Amber Qiuji have no experience in dealing with this situation, but the result is still Lingxi's hands and feet, and she went to the small kitchen in the courtyard to personally clean up the decanting soup and feed Zhang Yue to drink, and then prepared a gargle. Sure enough, after the hot sobering soup, Zhang Yue really picked his throat and vomited, and after it was easy to stop, he fell asleep.
Faced with such a strange situation, Qiu Zhen couldn't help but mutter: "It's really strange, whether it's official entertainment or friends, the young master has never drunk so much." ”
"Maybe it's King Zhou's enthusiasm but he can't get down?" Lingxi interjected beside him, and because he was dressed for Du Wan again, he whispered with a smile, "Even on the night of the wedding, the young master ordered someone to secretly change the wine into water, if he hadn't been forced to be ruthless, I'm afraid he wouldn't have drunk so much." ”
Du Juan had already finished washing, and at this time, he took off his embroidered satin jacket and couldn't help glaring at Lingxi. When she got to bed, Lingxi blew out the candle, leaving only the lamp on the high table in the corner, and Amber Autumn's mark tiptoed out. Although the silver-red gauze tent had been put down and her husband was lying beside her, Du Juan couldn't fall asleep over and over. When it was easier to feel a little sleepy outside, she felt a sudden stirring from the person next to her pillow, and then sat up.
Although it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Zhang Yue, who sat up all of a sudden, was sweating profusely. Finding that he was sitting on the bed, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and when he turned his head to find that Du Juan had also supported him to sit up, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and wiped his wet forehead, and said with a low wry smile: "It's about a fool today, I don't even know how I came back, and I thought that when I opened my eyes, I would see King Zhou who was drunk and talking nonsense." ”
"But for the sake of the county lord?"
Seeing Zhang Yue nodded, his face was full of gloom, Du Juan suddenly frowned. After she gave birth, Zhu Ning often came to the door, and she was always very happy when she saw the child. When she had nothing to do, she also helped pick and choose from the list, but every time Zhu Ning shook her head with a smile. After all, although those inmates were assessed as good in character and academics, they always felt that it was not the same thing. She had heard that the emperor was also in the Zhou Wang's Mansion before, so she hurriedly asked, "But this time the person has already been decided?" ”
"The emperor proposed three good candidates this time. But one of the kings of Zhou looked down on it, and the other two ...... One is Mr. Min Ze's grandson Shen Shilong, and the other is Lao Wan. Whether it is character or talent, these two are top-notch, it stands to reason that compared to the previous ones, no matter which one is the best choice, but the county lord has only seen Lao Wan once, and Shen Shilong has never seen it at all. Besides, even if King Zhou is willing on this end, others may not be willing on that end. ”
"How many of the marriage matches between men and women in this world are not blind marriages and dumb marriages?"
Du Juan felt that these two candidates were much better than before, but she didn't expect Zhang Yue to talk about this, she was stunned for a while and sighed helplessly. Immediately after, she felt Zhang Yue gently hugging her shoulders, and his low murmur came from her ear: "I just feel that we should have an understanding of each other's temperament before marriage, so that we can get along well in the future, just like us." There is only the present and the future, but there is no past, which may not be a good thing for the county lord......"
Despite a night of hangover, Zhang Yue still got up on time early the next morning. After changing into his official uniform, because his head was still a little painful, he simply ordered Amber to bring well water, and wiped his head and face vigorously with the cold well water. After finishing breakfast in three or two with high spirits, he and Du Juan went to the upper room of the North Courtyard to say goodbye, and then hurriedly went out.
Sure enough, because of Zhang Yue's words yesterday, at the court meeting, Zhu Di threw aside the previous report of Fang Bin, scheduled to tour the north in February next year, and ordered that the military city walls should not be slackened everywhere, and ordered his henchmen and eunuchs to verify the world's grain depots and domain warehouses together with the imperial history. In the face of this posture, the nobles who were originally discouraged after getting the information yesterday were suddenly overjoyed, and Fang Bin, who thought that the overall situation had been decided, was greatly disappointed, and after the next dynasty walked out of the left gate from the Jinshui Bridge, he glanced at Zhang Yue coldly.
After the dismissal of the government yesterday, he heard that the emperor ordered the Jinyi guard to command the envoy to summon Zhang Yue to the Zhou Wang's Mansion, it must be this kid who is messing up again! The emperor is too partial to listen to and believe, such a big thing, he is willing to believe such a fledgling young man, can they not be able to put these books on display?
Out of this kind of displeasure, anger, and even anger, after returning to the Yamen of the Ministry of War on this day, Fang Bin was stiff with a face as if everyone owed him a thousand times, no matter what official duties he had to pick thorns, especially for the Arsenal Division, he was even more nitpicky and picky, and even Wan Shijie, who thought he was the most tolerant, was also helpless and disgraced after returning from the main hall, and he almost didn't engrave the words "I am sad" on his head.
"I went to report a total of four things, and Fang Shangshu refuted them." Wan Shijie raised four fingers at Zhang Yue, and then counted them one by one and bent down, "First of all, the new firearms of the Ordnance Bureau have made another 10,000 guns, according to the sequence, they should be replaced by Xuanfu, Datong, Wanquan and other guards first, but Fang Shangshu scolded him and said that we don't need to worry about this matter." Secondly, our semi-annual account books should be audited by the Fengtang official as usual, and he said that if he has to worry about everything, what is the use of Langzhong...... The remaining two things have also been refuted, in short, if there is anything today, just take a break, don't touch Fang Shangshu's moldy head. ”
Zhang Yue looked at Wanshijie, who had returned to his indifferent smile after saying this, and after thinking about it, he still found an excuse to call people aside, and said the meaning of Zhu Di and Zhu Hu yesterday. To his surprise, he had expected an extremely violent reaction to the Wanshijie, but who knew that this one just rolled his eyes.
"That's what you're talking to me about? I said that there must be a limit to joking, and I was brushed in the first round. ”
Wan Shijie looked at Zhang Yue angrily, clapped his hands and was about to leave, but before he took a few steps, he turned around. Seeing Zhang Yue standing there still like just now, he gradually realized that this was not a joke, and he was stunned.
The first time he saw Zhu Ning was in Qixia Temple, he only remembered that the county lord drove away Zhang Yue's two cousins in three or two, but he remembered that heroic appearance; The second time I saw Zhu Ning was in the restaurant next to the execution ground of the West Fourth Pai Building, although she was dressed as a man, but he could still see this extent. Of course, it was a golden branch and jade leaf with a great personality and talent, but he never thought that he would be able to marry him home. It's not a question of future, it's not a question of family background, and it's not a question of personality......
Since he has no parents, he always wants to marry a woman he really likes. Although Zhu Ning is good, he has only met people twice, and he almost didn't even say a word, so it can't be that the third time they meet is the night of candles in the cave room, right?
After standing stunned for a while, he regained his casual smile: "According to what you say, King Zhou is only afraid that he will come to take a closer look at me, the guest of honor, and people may not be able to look down on me, a poor official who is alone and surrounded by walls." Things haven't been scratched yet, so you don't have to worry about it. It's just that if it really happens, I will still stay in the military department, and the colleagues and bosses of the military department yamen will also have a headache, and they will be annoyed enough if you are an outlier in the military department. ”
Seeing Wan Shijie spread his hands, and then turned around and left like no one else, Zhang Yue was stunned and remembered the emperor's words that day. It was the first time he knew that his parents were dead and alone, so it was no wonder that he always felt that in addition to the other party's freedom, there was also a kind of loneliness and arrogance in his bones. Otherwise, if you want to talk about Wanshijie, how many years older than him, why is he still single?
This conversation did not make a splash in the yamen of the military department, and even in the court, the brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Hu seemed to have forgotten the previous conversation and did not move for several days. It was only when the news of the death of Zhu Zhanyin, the fourth son of the crown prince, came, that waves again set off above the calm and waveless court.
Even if it is not the crown prince's sister-in-law this time, this is already the third imperial grandson who has died within a year! What's even more unfortunate is that this day is the day when Qintian reports the solar eclipse, and the hundred officials are busy performing the solar eclipse ambulance. As a result, countless people have such a thought in their hearts, since the beginning of the year, there have been continuous incidents, and this unlucky year is still over?
