Chapter 0037 - Unobtained
After the announcement is completed, the reception banquet begins, the guests and hosts are happy, and there is nothing more joyful than being promoted to an official and making a fortune. Chang Deben has not moved his nest for many years, and this time he was finally promoted to Tangzhou Sima, toasting back and forth like a butterfly wearing flowers during the banquet, smiling like a trumpet flower with big teeth.
Wen Yuankai drank stuffy wine, and the good Beijing official was promoted to the local county commander, although he would have a lot of oil and water, but he was not interested in this, he just wanted to return to Beijing to take up his post, and he was promoted in order to realize his ideals and ambitions of governing the country and leveling the world in his heart.
As for other officials at all levels, it is estimated that they are here to deal with matters related to armor, that is, to raid the workshop, take away the craftsmen, and related criminals, and fill the vacancies. There is no need to deal with these directly, Zhang Yue is not interested, and the wine of this year is really not very good, like a drink, it is sour.
After the dismissal, Zhang Yue and Wen Yuankai arranged for officials at all levels to stay in the Prefecture Yagui Hotel, and visited Bian Guangfan by the way, and finally figured out the purpose of the envoy to Jingnan, and the depression in their hearts was swept away, but they faintly looked forward to the coming of the war.
The weather turned cold, the road was muddy and difficult to walk, and the matter was very urgent, Bian Guangfan only planned to delay in Tangzhou for three days, Zhang Yue still had a lot of things to deal with, and the next morning he took Zhang Zhixing and other ten personal soldiers and rushed to Fangcheng County on horseback.
Zhang Yue has already determined that although this Qianhou is not handsome, he is definitely a superb staff. With both ability and political integrity, only talent is used, and you must have such a heart and courage to do things. At present, it is more important to have someone around you who is familiar with the affairs of officialdom and a counselor in various affairs. For example, in the case of Liu Yan in Tanzhou, he didn't know the specific situation very well.
All the way to the horse galloping, eighty miles of road only took more than half a day, in the afternoon did not enter the county, fortunately the weather was cloudy, but did not rain. Zhang Yue was too lazy to go to the county office, so he asked someone to inquire, and Feng Qianhou's home was in the east of the city, so he bought some fruits, cakes, and a few fine linen cloths at random in the market, and took his own soldiers to visit.
The street side turns into the alley, the innermost one is the Fengjia house, you can see the half-person high courtyard wall in the distance, the front is five blue brick houses, there are wing rooms on both sides, and the front is the courtyard gate that is hidden.
asked Zhang Zhixing to lead the soldiers to wait outside the courtyard, Zhang Yue stepped forward and shouted: "Is anyone at home?" ”
After shouting a few times, there was finally a sound of footsteps, and an old servant woman opened the courtyard door, obviously not knowing Zhang Yue and the others, but seeing that several people were carrying gifts in their hands, they asked politely: "Are you looking for my family Langjun?" Unfortunately, he went to visit a friend, and I don't know if he can come back today, or a few distinguished guests will come back tomorrow! ”
"Isn't your old lady here? But I don't know where Mr. Feng is going to visit friends, if it is close, I can rush to find someone! When Zhang Yue heard this, he suddenly became a little anxious.
"Or you wait, I'll go find Madame and come back!" The old servant woman hesitated, then turned and went out to find someone.
Zhang Yue had no choice but to wander around the courtyard, the door of the hall was open, the decoration inside was simple, the light was still very dim, there were five main rooms, this was a typical small property home. There is a well in the corner of the yard, more than a dozen chickens and ducks are looking for food in the ditch by the well, and the bamboo poles are set up next to the well, drying the dark clothes worn by the old people, and there are no young women and children to see, it seems that this seal is not married.
Not long after, Feng Qianhou's mother Luo Shi held a vegetable basket in her hand and took the servant woman into the small courtyard, and saw Zhang Yue standing in the courtyard with her hands and arms folded, so she turned around and complained that the servant woman was not well entertained.
"The junior Zhang Yue has seen Mrs.!" Zhang Yue stepped forward to salute, and called Zhang Zhixing and other soldiers to send gifts into the main hall.
"Why should General Zhang break the bank, break the old body, and go into the house and sit! It's just that my son Xiaode went to visit friends in Zhushui in the west of the city, if there is something important, how about the old man send someone to call him back? Luo saw that the soldiers had put the gifts on the table, and it was difficult to refuse, so he asked tentatively.
"Is filial piety Mr. Feng's words? How far is Nagisa from here? Zhang Yue called Feng Qianhou Mr., his attitude can be described as extremely respectful, and he thought in his heart, if it is not far away, he will simply run again.
"Twenty miles west of the city is Zhushui Town, but it's not far away, filial piety is my son's cousin, didn't he tell you?" Luo was a little surprised, and couldn't figure out the relationship between Zhang Yue and his son, as well as the intention.
"That's right! Yesterday, Tokyo came to the will, I was promoted to the deputy commander of the front division of the palace, and there are still errands to do, but there is no one around me to manage the accounts and handle the copywriting, I want to ask Mr. Feng for help, I don't know what Mrs. wants? Zhang Yue was sincere and said straightforwardly.
"Oh...... That's a good thing! Filial piety has been wandering around all these years, high is not low, the boss is not small and has not become a family, if there is an errand to do, it is good, although the old body is old, but he can still move, and he does not need to take care of it. It's just that...... Where is General Zhang going on an errand? Can you take the time to come back? Roche was very happy to hear this, but he didn't know what to think, and his tone was a little hesitant.
"I can't say where to do the errand, but it won't be too far from Tangzhou, if Mr. Feng goes, he can naturally come back at any time!" Zhang Yue dispelled her concerns.
"Oh well! You go to Zhushui Town in the west of the city to find Mrs. Han's house, his eldest Han Sheng and my son are close friends, even if you are not there, he can help you find someone! ”
"Thank you! I'm going to find someone......"
Zhang Yue didn't have the heart to gossip, hurriedly went out, took his own soldiers and rode to Zhushui Town in the west of the city to inquire about the villagers, and soon arrived in front of the Han family, which was a high-gate mansion, and the gatehouse in the front yard was built very imposingly. Zhang Yue stepped forward and knocked on the door, and when the porter appeared, he revealed his identity and explained his intention. I didn't want the porter to tell him that Feng Qianhou and his eldest man Han Sheng went boating and fishing in Zhushui.
Zhang Yue was depressed to death, but he didn't want to delay any longer, so he brought his own soldiers and asked the Han family's porter to lead the way and rush to the shore of Zhushui to find someone. When I got to the ground, there was a pavilion by the river, in which two men and two women sat down, and it seemed that they were playing chess, which was completely a festival of love and love, and said that it was fishing, but it turned out to be fishing for mermaids.
"Mr. Feng! You still have such leisure and leisure, but you are so miserable to find me! Zhang Yue didn't have time to get off the horse, so he shouted from afar.
"Huh? You're really good at looking for it! If you are here, it is not too late to come in and sit down and go back. Feng Qianhou smiled bitterly unexpectedly, got up to greet him, and then introduced to a few people: "This is the commander of the front division of the Tokyo Palace, the character Yuanzhen, some time ago, Feng was released from prison, and he accepted that he handled the case impartially. ”
"Huh...... Zhang was also ordered by the DPRK to run an errand, and it was fortunate that he didn't make a mistake! Zhang Yue coped with it humbly, very impatient, but not easy to show.
"Han Sheng, Han Deyu, a countryman, is polite! Commander Zhang, please take a seat! A young man in his twenties stood up, smiled and bowed his hand.
When the two young women of sixteen or seventeen years old next to them saw the guests, they hurriedly picked up their hats and put them on, got up to avoid them, and walked out of the pavilion and looked back from time to time. Feng Qianhou smiled and waved his hand, and just sent the two women away.
"You're welcome, please take a seat!" Zhang Yue had no choice but to say hello, sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion, and explained his intention straight to the point.
Feng Qianhou and Han Sheng looked at each other for a long time, and the two of them frowned, and they didn't know what opinions they were exchanging, which made the atmosphere very strange.
Zhang Yue was a little confused about the meaning of the two, but he heard Feng Qianhou smile a little shyly and said: "It's not a secret, I fell in love with a marriage half a year ago, and then I was imprisoned, and this matter has been dragged, so I am preparing a bride price recently, and I can't go to Naji and Nazheng on auspicious days." This is my friend, I can beat me a lot, if you really need staff, you can ask Deyu Xian Brother first, and when you are free in the next year, I will help you again, how about it? ”
Speaking of this, what else is there to say, Zhang Yue had to agree, stayed at Han's house that night, and was sent out of Zhushui Town by Feng Qianhou in the morning.
