Two fast horses set off from Changsha Mansion and galloped all the way to the capital.

Two days later, there were also three fast horses galloping on the road in Ningbo Prefecture, and their destinations were the same, all of them were in Beijing.

The emperor's illness became more and more serious, and Zhang Ru ran more and more frequently to Yuqing Palace, in addition to handling necessary official documents in Beizhen Fusi every day, he discussed with the prince in the East Palace.

Su Qiqi was very bored in the Nine Sides Governor's Mansion, and Zhu Youzhu came up with a ghost idea to find a good playmate for Zhang Yaoyao, who was also very bored.

Zhang Ru, who can only go home every day, will eat a fragrant meal as soon as he gets home, of course, if these meals do not have the 'masterpieces' made by Su Qiqi's skillful hands, he will be happier.

Zhu Youzhu seems to have accepted Su Qiqi for becoming Zhang Ru's woman, and the respect between him and Zhang Yaoyao from the beginning to the current mutual affection can be regarded as keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon.

For Zhang Ru, Zhang Yaoyao, who has grown into a big girl, is still afraid, as long as Zhang Ru is there, she basically will not run out to find Zhu Youjiao. Even sometimes at Su Qiqi's kind invitation, the crown princess stayed overnight in the Nine-sided Governor's Palace, but because Zhang Yaoyao was afraid of Zhang Ru, the dignified Nine-sided Governor could only succumb to the study.

The relationship with Su Qiqi is also getting closer and closer, without the two hurdles of Wuweijiao and Luo Qing, the two of them have no scruples.

However, Zhang Ru didn't seem to have taken Su Qiqi back to Datong to ask for marriage, a good eldest daughter, so he hid it in the Nine Sides Governor's Mansion. Of course, whether it is anyone who knows Su Qiqi's identity or who doesn't know her identity, whether it is an official or an ordinary person, no one dares to chew his tongue behind his back.

Mu Bin sits in Beizhen Fusi, and those Ti Cavalry may not care about this kind of nosy matter, but the three hundred people who joined the Jinyi Guard at the beginning, they will not let anyone blaspheme the commander.

Recently, the Jinyi guards in the capital have been a little unusual, and the fourteen guards under the jurisdiction of the Jinyi Guards have scattered all the captains of the other guards except for the front office. Even those helpers have their own tasks.

There are many woodcutters in the woods outside Longxing Valley, and there are many more merchants selling goods on the road, and these people all have a common characteristic, that is, they are burly.

Zhu Jianshen's physical condition is deteriorating, and Zhang Ru is understandable to make these preparations, at least in his opinion, this is a necessary preparation.

However, in the eyes of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Baoguo, these small actions of Zhang Ru are all children playing at home.

A few days after the cavalry dispersed, Zhu Yong's son Zhu Hui came to the door, and as soon as the seven-rank small capital of the Houjun Governor's Mansion landed at the door of Fusi in Beizhen, he asked to see Zhang Ru by name.

Jinyiwei, who was no stranger to the nobles in Beijing, naturally did not dare to stop him, and told Zhang Ru the news as soon as possible.

On the premise of not knowing what the little grandfather saw him, Zhang Ru politely invited Zhu Hui into the duty room, and after the two sat down, Zhang Ru began to ask the other party's intention: "I don't know if the little grandfather is here, what are you doing?" ”

Zhu Hui is over thirty years old, and his son is not dead, so he is still a small rear army governor, and ordinary people call him a little grandfather, and Zhang Ru is of course no exception.

"Zhang Shuai doesn't have to be so polite, my father asked me to be closer to you, but I haven't found a chance, and I have occasional leisure today, so I will come to the door to disturb me." Zhu Yong, who was born in a martial arts, has put a lot of effort into his son's education, of course, the effect is there, but the effect is not great.

Zhu Hui learned a lot about the kind of literary tone when talking to people, but if he really wanted to let this military general who had fought on the battlefield with his father when he was a teenager talk about the scriptures with a group of literati, it would be a little difficult for him.

Zhang Ru was a little unaccustomed to this kind of crepe way of speaking, and said with a smile: "I've been very busy lately, and the little grandfather came to the door in person, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as being close to me!" ”

Zhu Hui thought for a while and said: "That's natural, I came here, but I was ordered to remind Zhang Shuai, my father said that Zhang Shuai let Jinyiwei stare at Longxing Valley with such fanfare, it is really not necessary." ”

It can be seen that Zhu Hui is really hard to find words in his stomach. Zhang Ru simply said bluntly: "Brother Zhu doesn't need to be too polite, if you can afford it, Brother Zhu might as well call me Wenxuan." ”

was talking about business, but Zhang Ru suddenly came up with such a sentence, and Zhu Hui was obviously stunned.

Then, he immediately reacted: "But suffocate me, you said it earlier!" ”

Zhang Ru said: "You didn't say a few words when you entered the door, how could I say it earlier." Brother Zhu went back and told the old man that he had understood the kindness of the old man. However, in these extraordinary times, it is still necessary to take precautions. ”

Zhu Hui pouted: "My Lao Tzu said that you let Jinyiwei stare at that side, but there are not many trees on the mountain of Longxing Valley, and suddenly hundreds of woodcutters appear What's the matter?" He also asked me to ask you if your head had been caught in the door lately, and how people who have always been smart have become so stupid. ”

Zhang Ru was stunned when he heard this, and almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood. Feelings, Zhu Hui is a rough man in his bones, and he doesn't have a door to speak.

Knowing that the other party meant something, he explained: "It's just a deterrent, nothing else." The more blatant they are, the less daring they are to move. ”

Zhu Hui rolled his eyes impatiently: "Those of you who have read books are different, and when it comes to the big truths, let's talk about them one by one." Okay, you are busy first, there is a dinner party in the evening, the venue is in Yuzhuxuan, and I will send a sedan chair to pick you up at that time. ”

The mountains of official documents on the table made Zhu Hui leave with great interest. He also knew that the other identity of the talkative young man in front of him was the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Zhang Ru smiled: "Okay, I will definitely go." But I don't need a sedan chair, tell me the time, I'll ride a horse. ”

Zhu Hui, who had already walked halfway, didn't even look back: "Riding a horse at night, you are not afraid that the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will take you, whatever you want!" Anyway, the people of your Jinyi Guard are more bullish than the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division. ”

The appearance of the little grandfather Zhu Hui is just a small episode, and the official business that should be done has to be done.

The official documents on the table are all classified and marked, and Mu Bin thinks that the important ones are placed at the top, the slightly important ones are placed in the middle, and the less important ones are placed at the bottom.

However, after being able to go through hundreds of households, thousands of households, pacification envoys, commanders, and commanders, the intelligence that is still on Zhang Ru's desk is extremely important.

Write down the handling opinions on the official documents, and then put them in categories, and some urgent information needs to be called from time to time to call the Tiqi of the North Town Fusi to come in and convey the handling opinions.

The busy day passed quickly, during which Su Qiqi was very good wife and mother sent a pot of chicken soup, of course, this kind of chicken soup that can be compared to the poison prepared by the secret library of Beizhen Fusi was naturally given to the people below by Zhang Ru as a reward.

When a few Ti Qi, who were overjoyed when they took the chicken soup, and almost didn't get angry after drinking the chicken soup, looked at Zhang Ru with a resentful expression, Zhang Ru selectively ignored the resentful gaze of his subordinates.

At night, the soft sedan chair arrived as scheduled, and several sedan chair drivers waited outside the door very respectfully, volunteering to put Fan Wuyi, who was carried by the porter and the housekeeper, into a posture of not letting in without a door, and directly stopped a few bitter sedan chair drivers outside.

A fast horse galloped up, and the black divine steed, like lightning in the night, stopped outside the Governor's Palace on the Nine Sides.

Zhang Ru turned over and dismounted, and greeted Fan Wuyi: "Old Fan, please tell Qiqi, just say that there is an appointment in the evening, and I won't come back for dinner." ”

Fan Wujiao, who was sitting on the bench and napping, didn't raise his head: "Tell the girl yourself, the old man is not available." ”

The old man's temper Zhang Ru had already figured it out, and he leaned into Fan Wuyi's ear and said: "Lord Ji, who is about to retire from Jinyiwei, has a granddaughter who looks and has good morals. ”

Fan Wujiao, who was squinting, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were shining, and he suddenly stood up and walked towards the inner house, saying as he walked: "Don't worry, the old man won't talk much, and the lady won't blame." ”

Looking at the anxious Fan Wuyi, Zhang Ru couldn't help but touch his nose and scolded with a smile: "Old fox, don't move if you don't give benefits." ”

The expressions on the faces of several palanquin drivers were very exciting, they had never seen such a servant who was neither big nor small, nor had they seen such a good talkative master.

This is the Governor of the Nine Sides, so naturally they don't have much to say, at most, they will talk to their families after they go back. The name of Jinyiwei is unknown to people in other places, but people in the capital know.

A sedan chair driver honestly led the way, other sedan chair drivers carried the sedan chair and kept following, and Zhang Ru rode a horse alone.

When he arrived at Yuzhuxuan, the palanquin man took out the invitation card from his arms, and immediately there was a little second general Zhang Ru's fine lion war horse to feed, and a beautiful little girl led Zhang Ru to the upstairs private room.

The singing and dancing in the private room was leveling, obviously the banquet had begun for a while, and several dancers were twisting their limbs on the stage, and the thin spring shirts on their bodies made people inevitably feel a little confused.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a few faceless ladies in fancy clothes burying their heads in the chests of the giggling Fengyue Girl, and those who went a little further in were a little more reserved, just groping up and down. The memories that came through his mind were a little vague, but he still knew a few of them.

Zhang Ru stood at the door, not knowing where to sit.

To be honest, he has been in Daming for so long, and he has never been to such a place.

Looking at this posture, it is almost the same as the Rausch Zihaitian feast that I heard about in my previous life.

Just when he didn't know what to do, the voice of Zhu Hui, the prince of the small country, came: "Oh, Wenxuan is here, you are late, punish yourself three cups, punish yourself three cups!" ”

Some people in the audience didn't even raise their heads, they just cared about laughing with the singers around them, and the few people sitting in the innermost part cast their eyes on Zhang Ru. Most of the gaze is good, and of course, there are also unkind gazes. This unkind gaze comes from an old man of Zhang Ru, the king of Tai'an County-Zhu Youqi.
