Ke Yinyue held the lacquer box in her hand, her waist was slightly twisted to Zhang Yuan to see the gift, and the six-year-old Zhu Huihui also bowed to Zhang Yuan in the same way, Zhang Yuan hurriedly returned the salute, thinking that this little girl was about the same age as the little Jinghui he saw for the first time in Yutao Garden, but not as lively as Jinghui, and her body bones were weak, but her demeanor was also childish and cute.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and introduced: "Mr. Zhang, this is Mama Ke, Mama Ke met Mr. Zhang last year, does Mr. Zhang remember?" ”

Ke Yinyue is an old acquaintance, Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Dongyue Temple outside Chaoyang Gate, why don't you remember, why did His Highness laugh?" ”

Zhu Youxiao deliberately laughed crazy in the carriage that day when he didn't know Zhang Yuan, and then he was a little embarrassed, and said: "It's just that I have an open heart when I see Mr. Zhang, the three lecturers have a relationship with Mr. Zhang, and the other two have never met before." Seeing Zhang Yuan paying attention to his sister Zhu Huiyan, he said: "Mr. Zhang, this is my sister Zhu Huiyan, who is six years old this year." He said to his sister Zhu Huiyan: "Xiaohui, why did you come here with me, this is where I study, you can't hide and seek here." "Zhu Huiyan's favorite game is hide and seek, and she likes to hide and let her brothers find her.

"No hide and seek." Zhu Huiyan shook her head and looked at the lacquer box in Ke Yinyue's hand.

Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, "I know, this lacquer box contains ghee snails, right?" ”

Zhu Huichang said "um" in a milky voice, she likes to eat butter snails the most, but the medical officer of the hospital said that you can't eat more, eating too much will cause diarrhea, so although Zhu Huichang was born in the royal family, she still looks very greedy, no different from ordinary children.

Zhu Youxiao said: "Xiao Yan has come here, I have to let Xiao Yan eat one, and Mr. Zhang will also eat some together." I felt that I should ask for the opinion of Mama Ke, so I said to Mama Ke Yinyue: "Mama, okay, let Mr. Zhang eat with you?" ”

Ke Yinyue's face was flushed for some reason, like a peach blossom in March, and she said angrily: "You are the master, of course you are the master, ask me what a nurse does." Holding the lacquer box and walking towards the side hall, Zhu Huiyan hurriedly followed, where the ghee snail was, she followed.

Zhang Yuan said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Highness, let's eat snacks, I don't eat, just have a cup of tea." Turned around and walked to the other side of the hall corridor to talk to Zhong Benhua and Wei Jinzhong, and before he could say a few words, Zhu Youxiao came over, and the guest Yinyue behind him was holding the lacquer box with the lid opened, which contained ghee bubble snails, pink and pure white, with lines like snails, sweet and fragrant - "Mr. Zhang, Master Zhong, and Wei Companion, please try it." "Zhu Youxiao is very enthusiastic.

Zhang Yuan is familiar with "Golden Vase Plum", I remember that Ximen Qing loves to eat this kind of ghee snail, and the eldest brother Zhang Dai, who likes food, also told him that there is a kind of bone-soaked snail in Suzhou rich people, which is made of cheese and sucrose frosting, which is the best taste in the world, and immediately said "Thank you", stretched out his hand to pick up a piece of ghee snail, the entrance melted, the taste was extremely fragrant, and he couldn't help but praise: "It's really delicious!" ”

Zhong Benhua abides by his duty and does not taste this delicacy, Wei Jinzhong does not dare to stretch out his hand, Zhu Youxiao invites Zhang Yuan to eat another piece, and then goes back to the side hall to enjoy it.

Zhong Benhua said with a smile: "Zhang Xiu taught his brother for less than a month, and his brother has both respect and intimacy with you, and the miscellaneous family has taught him for more than a year-" He laughed first.

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Foreign monks are good at chanting." ”

Wei Jinzhong flattered: "How can I compare with Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang is a Wenqu star in the sky." ”

After gossiping, a chamberlain from the Jiazi library came to Wei Jinzhong for something, so Wei Jinzhong went to the side hall to say to Zhu Youxiao and hurriedly went.

Zhong Benhua said something confidential to Zhang Yuan at this time, and said in a low voice: "Since the last attack case, Zheng Guifei's attitude towards the Chitose Lord has changed from cold and picky to enthusiastic flattery, and even stammering, from time to time to send people to the master to send gold, silver, jewelry and exquisite food, this butter snail is made by Zheng Guifei's Changchun Palace attendant, which is more delicious than that made by Ciqing Palace, of course, we will carefully check the food and utensils sent by Changchun Palace, but a few days ago, Zheng Guifei selected eight beautiful palace maids from her Changchun Palace to give to Xiao Ye, saying that it was to let Xiao Ye have children. That's a big problem. ”

Zhang Yuan frowned slightly, nodded and said, "It's trouble, and the person next to the pillow is the most difficult to prevent." ”

"That's right." Eunuch Zhong said: "Master, to be honest, I have been scared for many years, I have always been neglected, and the worship is also weak, and recently I have suddenly been valued by the Lord of Long Live Lord, and Zheng Guifei is so flattering, and the big and small deacons in the palace are even more respectful to the master, and the master is a little fluttering, I simply forgot that Zheng Guifei had all kinds of slander and difficulties to him before, and he respected Zheng Guifei very much, and the master did not know moderation in terms of women, and the eight beauties sent by Zheng Guifei were fortunate every night, and the prince was very worried about this. ”

Zhang Yuan said softly: "The Zheng family knows that the status of the prince cannot be shaken, so it is normal for the father-in-law to turn to the prince and befriend the prince, and it is good for the father-in-law to do his duty and take care of the emperor's eldest grandson." ”

Hearing Zhang Yuan say this, Eunuch Zhong nodded and said, "Zhang Xiushu is right, this is a matter that the prince should worry about, and the miscellaneous family should not take care of it. Speaking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed, and he said in his heart: "The master is lustful and greedy, he doesn't know how to maintain health, and he is only afraid of losing his life, but in this way, won't my brother be able to take the throne in advance!" ”

Such a rebellious idea is absolutely unavoidable, Eunuch Zhong hurriedly recited a few words of Amitabha Buddha, looked at Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan's expression was calm, gentle and elegant, it seemed that there was no such rebellious idea he had just now, but Eunuch Zhong knew that Zhang Yuan must have an idea, otherwise he would not have suggested that he serve the emperor's eldest grandson when he was in Hangzhou, Zhang Yuan This is the real far-sighted, deliberate, Hangzhou Xizihu Mansion on the boat to trap Qiu Chengyun, Jinling Xuanwu Lake to help Xing Long get out of trouble, and this attack case, Zhang Yuan can be described as scheming and exhaustive, fortunately he and Zhang Yuan are friends and not enemies, otherwise there is such an enemy who will not sleep well at night, Zhang Yuan is still very righteous to his friends, and has the will to apply it to the world, not the kind of person who seeks wealth and nobility purely for self-interest by unscrupulous means - this autumn afternoon, Eunuch Zhong standing on the side of the corridor of the main hall can't help but think: "Zhang Yuan is so talented, now he is the teacher of Hanlin Xiu, he said that his brother ascended the throne, and Zhang Yuan entered the cabinet as a supplement, Zhang Yuan is like Zhang Juzheng, Isn't that miscellaneous family Feng Bao, forty years ago, these two people were in charge of the cabinet, one was in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, and the power was for a while, but in the end it didn't end well, Feng Bao was nothing, a lonely family, a prominent scene, and death was not shaken, Zhang Juzheng was involved in the old mother and children and grandchildren, but from Zhang Yuan's attitude towards his brother, it was much gentler than when Zhang Juzheng was a teacher for Long Live Lord, when Long Live Lord was young, when he read "Analects", he read the word "Bo" in "Se Bo Ruye" Reciting the pronunciation of the word, Zhang Juzheng corrected it sharply, and the sound shook the roof tiles, which startled the other lecturers and chamberlains present. 'Long Live Lord is more afraid of Zhang Juzheng than respectful, and later Long Live Lord grew up Chengren, Zhang Juzheng is still in power, does not know how to advance or retreat, and regards Long Live Lord as a puppet, which led to Zhang Juzheng being convicted and liquidated after his death, Zhang Yuan is familiar with historical events, and should not repeat the mistakes of the past, no matter what, the miscellaneous family must have a head out among the ministers, let Qiu Chengyun and Song Jin take a look at the miscellaneous family——"

Ke Yinyue came out, gave a salute to Zhang Yuan, and took Zhu Huixi back to Ciqing Palace.

At noon, Zhang Yuan went to Fengtianmen Dongyu for dinner, Guo Shu told him about the prince's attitude towards Zhou Yanru's resignation as an official in the East Palace, and said that he would accompany Wang An's father-in-law to visit Zhou Shijiao in the evening, and asked Zhang Yuan if he was going with him?

Since Guo Shu asked, of course Zhang Yuan said that he would go together, after Shen Shimo finished speaking, Zhang Yuan went with Wang An and Guo Shu to Zhou Yanru's apartment on Qipan Street outside Daming Gate, Wang An came to visit on behalf of the East Palace, of course Zhou Yanru couldn't shirk it, only lying on the bed with a wet cloth on his forehead, pretending to be a high fever that would not go away, staring at Zhang Yuan with squinted eyes, Zhang Yuan didn't say anything, there was no need to stimulate Zhou Yanru anymore, this person was basically half-useless, unless Emperor Chongzhen still had a chance to ascend the throne - Zhou Yanru told Wang An that he was not lightly ill, Can't delay the study of the emperor's eldest grandson because of his illness, please choose another wise man as a lecturer, Wang An relieved a few words, left a gift and left, and Zhang Yuan went to the East Fourth Pailou Shang's courtyard with Zhang Yuan to drink half a cup of tea, leaving the gift from the East Palace, politely resigned to the banquet of Shang Zhou Zuo and Zhang Yuan, and went back to the palace.

Shang Zhouzuo only then knew that Zhou Yanru's impeachment of Zhang Yuan failed, but he resigned as an official in the East Palace, and he couldn't help but be surprised, thinking that this sister-in-law's luck was really good, Yao Zongwen would be impulsive and fall into the water, and Zhou Yanru would suddenly fall ill!

The gifts given by the crown prince to Zhang Yuan were: twelve taels of silver eight treasures, two jade flower pendants, two colored cloth yarns, two bottles of Changchun wine, and two boxes of palace cakes.

Jing Lan and Jing Hui sisters also like this butter snail, and they want to eat a piece after eating a piece, and see if there is not much left, Jing Hui said: "I won't eat it, my little aunt and Xiaohong are about to enter Beijing, leave it for them to eat, this palace food, I can't eat it at leisure." ”

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Hong is less than half a year old, how can you eat this, you two can eat, your little aunt will not arrive until two months later, how can this butter snail be stored for so long, it is early." ”

Jing Hui said: "Then when the little aunt arrives, please ask the East Palace to give you delicious food for the little aunt to taste." ”

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "The reward of the East Palace is because I have suffered a lot of grievances, how can I be wronged all the time." "Smiled and went back to the room to write a thank you sheet, the royal reward is not so easy to receive.

…… On July 26, Ma Zhiqi, the speaker of the East Palace elected by the Hanlin Academy, replaced Zhou Yanru into the palace to speak, Ma Zhiqi is the eye of the palace examination of the 38th Gengxu Branch of Wanli, and is currently a waiter in the Hanlin Academy, who is six products, Chinese New Year's Eve and is eight years old today.

In this way, the lectures in the East Palace were carried out in an orderly manner, and the lecturers were at peace with each other.
