Chapter 416: Chaos, Soldiers
Zhangjia West Courtyard upper room.
Feng Yuanming, who was dressed in green silk and straight clothes, took Du Juan's right hand for a while, and then put down his hand and said to Sun who was full of concern on the side: "Don't get in the way, she has always cherished her blessings and nourished her body, plus she is cheerful, and the impact of her sudden awakening last night is limited after all." To say a big disrespectful word, it was the lightning strike in the three halls of the palace that caught fire, and it was not the fire in the courtyard of the Zhang family, so that she would not have a tire. It's just that since it's less than two months away, Wenpo's house has to be well prepared, just in case. ”
"Amitabha!" When Sun heard that it was okay, she put her palms together and muttered, and when she heard these two words, her face was a little unnatural, and she complained very much about this doctor who couldn't speak, until she saw that Du Juan didn't care at all, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly nodded, "Since Doctor Feng said so, I immediately ordered to invite Wen Po to live at home, and then clean up a clean house." But after all, there are nearly two months left...... Fortunately, this time it should be a summer production, which is better than a cold day. ”
Seeing that Sun smiled as he spoke, he personally brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge, even though Du Juan didn't have any appetite now, but it was really not good to disobey her mother-in-law's kindness, so she had to take it. Reluctantly drank a bowl of porridge, seeing that Feng Yuanming, who didn't like to sit for a long time in the past, was still sitting on the brocade and talking to Xiao Wu, as if she intended to stay, she couldn't help but move in her heart, so she took Sun's hand and smiled: "Mother, you didn't go to the upper room of the north courtyard to see the old lady for my business today, since it's okay now, you should also go over and say hello to the old lady on my behalf." I tossed everyone all morning, and I really didn't want to go. ”
Hearing what his daughter-in-law said, Sun saw that there were both doctors and girls in this house, and there was nothing that could not be taken care of, so he agreed. Seeing her out of the house, Xiao Wu jumped over with a smile and sat next to Du Juan.
"Miss, the in-laws are really good to you as always, not at all like those mothers-in-law in the play!"
"How many times have I told you, but I still can't change my words...... It's a sister, not a miss! Du Juan glared at Xiao Wu angrily, and saw that she was smiling brightly, so he grabbed her and gently scratched her nose, "If it weren't for the reasonableness of the elders here, even if your father and mother indulged you, you wouldn't be able to come over all day." Fortunately, my father never believed that a woman was virtuous if she was not talented, otherwise you would not be able to learn medical skills from Dr. Feng! ”
"Lord Du is an enlightened person, and he is not one of those Taoist rotten Confucians, otherwise how could he accept such a daughter as Xiao Wu?"
Feng Yuanming smiled, and then looked at Xiao Wu dotingly. Immediately after, a worried expression gradually appeared on his face, and then he sighed: "The third wife was here just now, and I can't say anything." Miss Du, you know, I had an apprentice before Xiao Wu, and she suddenly came to the door last night. I persuaded her to live a divided life in the future and not to be so paranoid, but she left me a bag of silver, kowtowed three times, and left without a head. ”
Qiu Zhen and Xiao Wu are still a little ignorant, but Du Juan and Amber know about the original public case. Thinking that his father and Zhang Yue could be said to have single-handedly destroyed the Shandong White Lotus Sect, Du Xuan, who was nervous in his heart, said to Qiu Zhen and Xiao Wu: "Qiu Zhen, I forgot just now, you take Xiao Wu to the old lady and send the gastrodia and medicinal tea she just brought." ”
Knowing that Du Wan must have something to say when he left at this time, Qiu Zhen bit his lip, and then pulled away Xiao Wu, who was full of reluctance. As soon as the two of them left with their things in their hands, Amber stood up and said, "Young grandmother, the slave and maid are guarding outside. ”
Seeing that Amber bent her knees slightly and lifted the curtain and went outside, Du Juan wanted to open her mouth to stop her, but finally held back. Looking at Feng Yuanming, who was confused, she asked in a deep voice, "May I ask Doctor Feng, what did she say?" ”
"The first sentence is the most inexplicable, saying that the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty."
Feng Yuanming was also a scholar in his early years, and he was even more proficient in the Book of Changes in order to study medicine, but he still couldn't see through his big apprentice with a clear mind, for example, he couldn't figure out whether this sentence was Tang Sai'er's own life experience, or what he was admonishing. Seeing that Du Juan was groaning, he continued: "After saying this, she said that the White Lotus Sect did not die at the hands of Lord Du and Lord Xiao Zhang, but because she was calculated, so she first has to deal with those powerful people who only know how to use others, and when she frees up her hands in the future, she may find you to settle accounts...... Look at what she's talking nonsense about? She also said that if it weren't for the righteousness and severity of what you said at the beginning, which shook the traitor's heart, she might not have been able to kill him to take revenge...... Anyway, I'm confused. ”
Speaking of this, Feng Yuanming couldn't help but sigh. Although Xiao Wu's talent is not bad, he is still more than inferior to Tang Sai'er. He was alone in the second half of his life, but he didn't regret accepting Tang Sai'er as his first apprentice, and even thought that she could be better than the blue because of her good temperament, who practiced medicine everywhere. Now it seems that everything else is good for her, but the knot in her heart can't be opened, and her extreme temperament can't be changed. Seriously, his master's withdrawn temperament may have also affected her.
Although Feng Yuanming said thoughtlessly, Du Juan had already thought of the night in the month of last year, and then recalled the inexplicable noise on the roof, and then Shuntianfu Yin personally knocked on the door of Zhang's house, and after Zhang Yue came back, he also mentioned that there was an unidentified corpse in the nearby alley, and at the same time he also dropped a military-standard crossbow, but the matter seemed to be over in the end. At that time, the couple couldn't guess it, but if what Feng Yuanming said was true, then wouldn't the identity of the corpse ......
In a flash of light, she finally thought through all the problems, and immediately comforted Feng Yuanming and said, "Doctor Feng, don't think about these things. Since she came to see you quietly, it means that she is not so extreme as to be desperate. As for the Du family and the Zhang family, she also said that at least she had to wait until she had her hands free...... Besides, since the incident in Qingzhou, have you ever heard of her appearing outside? You just think she's just coming to see you, and by the way, it's okay to talk about what is in your heart. ”
"I hope so."
Feng Yuanming opened his mouth, but in the end, only one sentence burst out. Last night, the thunder and fire suddenly split the three major halls, and he was really worried that Tang Sai'er would do something at this moment.
In the evening of this day, Zhang Yue came out of the yamen of the Ministry of War, and happened to meet his second uncle Zhang Yu in the fifth archway, and the uncle and nephew came back all the way. Thinking of the discussion among the six departments, he asked about the situation of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but Zhang You smiled angrily.
"If the sky is going to thunder and rain, how can people manage it? We military attaches don't know how many people have been killed, and no one dares to guarantee that they have not injured innocent lives. Most of the people said that this lightning strike and fire was really unfortunate, as for the words in the book...... That's the work of civil officials, and it has nothing to do with us. If you want to talk about us, it's just that we feel sorry for the three major halls that burned and spent money in vain, and I don't think it has anything to do with other things. ”
Hearing this kind of crisp and neat statement, Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment and realized that the military attache of the heart is really not as much as the mind of a civilian official. When he turned into his alley, he suddenly remembered what Shangshu Fangbin had just mentioned today, and after a little thought, he asked: "Second uncle, Jiaozhi is now in a war situation, this time the military department has replenished soldiers, grain, grass and weapons, etc., and the emperor has ordered a horse expedition from Yunnan. ”
Zhang You has a hearty appearance, but his mind is extremely meticulous, Zhang Yue mentioned a conversation, and he remembered the dispute that night a month ago. Although the Gu family saved face for his son that time, he just called him over alone and reprimanded him, but for such a big fuss about housework, he was extremely annoyed in his heart, and after trying to ask, he gave Fang Shuixin an answer, but he hadn't been to her house for half a month. The situation in the southwest is changing rapidly, and his family is not at peace.
Knowing this, he shouldn't have promised Mu Sheng in the first place, but he was still not strong-minded......
Shaking his head to drive these messy thoughts out of his mind, Zhang You pondered again. He is no better than those colleagues in the Left Army Governor's Office, and those princes and uncles are far higher than the officials of the military department, so they are often condescending when dealing with them, but he knows that if he wants to lead the troops, then he has to rely on the military department for everything. Even if he is an earl, he is not afraid of being held hostage by the Wuxuan Division, which holds real power, but the Arsenal Division holds the lifeblood of the army - only now that this place is under the management of his nephew, it is naturally convenient.
So, he stared at Zhang Yue for a while, and then said bluntly: "That day in the British Mansion, I and the British Duke once told you that the Marquis of Fengcheng was too serious, although he won many victories, he was never defeated, and this illness was a missed opportunity; Although the Duke of Qianguo was a famous general, he was too cautious and cautious, and retreated after a slight setback. You must know that Southwest Yi is not so much intimidated by the Qianguo Gong in Yongzhen Yunnan as it is intimidated by the former might of the army, as well as those soldiers who have never put down their swords. The battle situation in Jiaozhi is stalemate, and the southwest Yi Ruoan guards himself, which is a strange thing! ”
Dismounted in front of the West Corner Gate, Zhang You casually threw the reins to the gatekeeper who came out, and then entered the door with Zhang Yue. When the second gate bypassed the big shadow wall in the hall, he suddenly stopped his steps, and said to Zhang Yue behind him: "The Marquis of Fengcheng is not lightly ill this time, Rong Zhibo and Chen Zhi are difficult to support alone, your strategy is to impress the emperor, and someone has to implement it." Brother Fu is the pillar of the country, the emperor will never let him go again, even if you have the heart, you are not a military general and can't lead the soldiers, but I can go again! ”
Rao is Zhang Yue had such a thought in his heart just now, and he still felt a shock in his heart when he heard the words. Today's Jiaozhi can be said to be a complete mess - except for Huang Fu, who served as the political envoy of Jiaozhi and hung the title of Shangshu, other civil officials to Jiaozhi are equivalent to moving left, if it were not for Huang Fu to appease them one by one, I am afraid that these people don't even have the mind to do things; In addition to Zhang Fu, most of the other military generals and nobles who have been to Jiaonan are disgraced, and it is impossible for them to ask for help. And Zhang Youcai came back to recuperate for two years, and he was willing to go again!
"Second uncle is not afraid of falling into the quagmire?"
"It's hard to be feared by a knight, and it's not a general! Besides, I don't want this body to be rusted in Beijing! ”
Sensing Zhang You's pride at that moment, Zhang Yue nodded thoughtfully: "Since the second uncle has the intention of giving up on me, it is better to come to my place after dinner to reflect on the fast, let's discuss." ”
