British Gongzhang Zhiji played with the firewood kiln porcelain cup for a long time, and a sentence popped out of his mouth faintly: "I promised Elk to marry Zhu Yongan before, but it was just a show of weakness. Of course, if the elk enters the Chengguo Mansion, it will not be considered an insult to her. ‘

Zhang Shize was still a little puzzled: 'Father, let's ignore the Chengguo Mansion and wait for the situation to change, why bother to show weakness? ‘

Zhang Zhiji looked at the porcelain cup, and smiled slightly, as if with some joking tone: "Then the position of the commander of the Beijing camp, does Zhu Chunchen want to do it?" ‘

Zhang Shize blurted out: "Cheng Guogong must think, that is a great real power, holding the military power of the entire Beijing Division, it is really under one person, above ten thousand people!" ‘

"News from Wang Chengen's father-in-law," Zhang Zhiji still looked at the porcelain cup intently, "The emperor intends to conquer Liaodong in person!" ‘

'What? Zhang Shize exclaimed, he couldn't believe his ears at all!

Zhang Zhiji seemed to be talking to himself: 'How is the emperor better than the Ying Temple?' ‘

Zhang Shize naturally knew that this Ying Temple was talking about the temple number, but it was Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong - the one who personally conquered the Mongolian Warat Department and pit hundreds of thousands of Ming troops in Tumubao.

Zhang Shize did not hesitate at all: "Although the Ying Temple has a civil engineering defeat, but in other aspects, it is a hundred times better than the current emperor. ‘

'Got it?' ‘

‘……‘

'Don't understand? ‘

'Father let that Chengguo Gong take control of the military power and go to the gate with the emperor to die? ‘

'Hehe—the children are teachable. ‘

Looking at his father's calm smile, Zhang Shize felt a burst of restlessness in his heart.

If Zhu Chunchen died, it would naturally be Zhu Yongan who attacked the lord, and with the ability of those two goods, coupled with the extremely smart sister Ruochen from the side, the Chengguo Mansion would inevitably collapse.

It turns out that I have always underestimated my father!

My father's scheming is better than that of my grandfather Zhang Weixian!

Zhang Shize took two steps forward with the most respectful gesture since he was born and stood beside his father: "My father couldn't bear it before, could it be that he waited for the help in the palace?" ‘

This is naturally Chongzhen's most trusted eunuch Wang Chengen, and sure enough, Zhang Zhiji bowed slightly. sneered: "Sure enough, unlike ordinary eunuchs, it took two million taels of silver to feed him!" ‘

Zhang Zhiji's face suddenly flushed and coughed violently.

Zhang Shize hurriedly patted his father on the back, and after a while. Zhang Zhiji relieved himself.

Zhang Zhiji's tone became very stern, and even got higher and higher: "My big game of chess was completely ruined by the elk's escape from marriage!" It's really infuriating to me! ‘

Zhang Zhi was extremely angry, and with a bang, he smashed the firewood kiln porcelain cup worth 100,000 taels of silver in his hand on the ground. Fell badly!

Although Zhang Shize was a standard second ancestor, and he was used to seeing all kinds of rare treasures, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Father, this is ...... This is a firewood kiln! Priceless! ‘

Zhang Zhiji changed from thick to thin breathing, gradually calmed down, and said lightly: "If you fall, you will fall, and you can't make a mistake for this because of the iron of the forty-three counties in the six states." ‘

Zhang Shize was silent, his father's words were the original meaning of 'making a big mistake' in "Zizhi Tongjian", obviously his father was extremely angry that his sister did not marry Zhu Yongan.

Zhang Shize still couldn't help but glance at the fragments of the firewood kiln porcelain cups all over the ground. Secretly shook his head.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhiji said in a calm tone: "What do you say that person's name is?" It's the one who deceived the elk. ‘

Zhang Shize was suddenly frightened, the more his father spoke in a calm tone, the more dangerous it became, and the whole Guogong Mansion knew this characteristic.

Previously, there was an imperial history that impeached his father and the internal officials, that is, the eunuchs, who had a close relationship and did not agree with the law.

At that time, my father also explained to the emperor in a very calm tone at the court meeting, and finally won the emperor's trust.

Soon after, Na Yushi fell ill and died on a thunderstormy night, and no one even dared to take the body......

Zhang Zhiji saw that Zhang Shize didn't answer for a long time, and said dissatisfiedly: "What about you!" ‘

Zhang Shize was stunned. Hurriedly reined in his mind and responded: "The person who is always with my sister is called Zhang Li. ‘

Zhang Zhiji snorted coldly and reprimanded: "His identity is a person. You and the elk also went behind my back to find the emperor to get it, right? It's nonsense! ‘

Cold sweat trickled down Zhang Shize's forehead, and he whispered: "Please punish my father." ‘

Zhang Zhiji did not speak. He sighed and said slowly: "If it weren't for his medical skills, some hope can cure your mother's illness...... After a moment of silence, he spoke: "I would have cut him with a thousand knives!" ‘

'Father, who are you going to cut with a thousand knives?' 'The sound is loud to the people. Ruo Chen, who came in a hurry, didn't hear Zhang Zhiji's previous words, but he heard the latter sentence clearly.

Ruochen walked into the house, and after saluting his father, he couldn't help frowning when he looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

Ruochen turned his head and pouted to give the eldest brother a gesture, but the eldest brother looked at his nose and nose, looking like an old monk in a settled position, and there was no tacit understanding between the brother and sister in the past.

Ruochen ran out again and again, if there was no acquiescence and help from the prince Zhang Shize, it would be impossible.

After all, the blood of a mother's compatriot is thicker than water.

The eldest brother Zhang Shize has always cared for Ruochen, and when he could fool the old man, he helped Ruochen fool him.

However, today's eldest brother actually looked upright, which made Ruochen's heart hang all of a sudden.

Ruochen frowned tightly and said cautiously, "Father, but what made your old man angry?" ‘

Zhang Zhiji said calmly: "Yes. ‘

Zhang Shize's right eyelid throbbed violently!

Here it is, here it is, and the father is in that tone again.

Could it be that the father really wants to kill the tension?

Ruochen once again turned his eyes to Zhang Shize for help, Zhang Shize only shook his head slightly, and then lowered his head.

Zhang Zhiji turned his head and glanced at Zhang Shize, and said lightly: "Shize, the elk was occasionally infected with a cold last night, and he will recuperate in the Jingyue Building of the Guogong Mansion in the future. No one is to let her go without my orders. ‘

Ruochen was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Father, my mother's illness is not yet cured, and my daughter still needs to find someone to treat her!" ‘

Zhang Zhiji didn't listen at all, and closed his eyes: "I neglected to discipline you before, so I have today's incident. Broad & Bright, if you dare to let her out, I will only ask you! ‘

Zhang Shize answered softly, and left the room with a shocked look on his face.

Looking at the distant backs of the two of them, the British Duke Zhang Zhiji sighed leisurely and said to himself: "Madam, can you understand my hard work? If you can wake up, I'll spare the life of that kid, if not, hum! ‘

……

After more than ten days in a row, the weather in Beijing became hotter day by day.

It's now May, and the occasional sound of cicadas is coming from the old poplar trees in the alley.

In the small courtyard where Zhang Li lived in Banqiao Hutong, a small pergola was built on the patio two days ago, which was only enough to accommodate one person and one chair.

At this moment, Zhang Zhang sat on a rattan chair in the pergola and rested, and a cup of tea was placed on a small bench that was slightly old.

After coming to Beijing, Zhang Li didn't like to stay in the house because the courtyard was too small, and the room seemed a little crowded.

It's as if only by stepping out of the room can tension breathe fresh air on its own.

Now Gao Yuanliang is not by Zhang Li's side, he went to the major post posts in Beijing to check the mail.

After being stopped outside the Daming Gate last time, Zhang Zhang tried to board Xu Guangqi's door twice, but because there was no post, the result can be imagined.

In desperation, he had to write a letter to Xu Jingping in Nanjing and send it through the post.

In the Ming Dynasty, this letter was also divided into expedited and peaceful mail, and Zhang Li naturally chose expedited mail.

After Jingping's sister received the letter, she must have written a letter of worship to herself, so that she could enter the door of Xu Guangqi's house.

After the post arrives, it is common for the letter to be delivered for as little as three to five days, and as much as more than ten days.

Because of the large volume of letters, and the 'courier boys' are too few, there is no means of transportation, so the efficiency is naturally low.

Zhang Li couldn't afford to wait, so every day at this point after lunch, Gao Yuanliang would go out to inquire about the post office.

There is nothing to be done about this matter, the only word is 'wait', but in the past few days, Zhang Zhang has always felt uneasy.

I haven't seen Ruochen in days!

When I asked the people of the National Government, they didn't say anything.

Even once in a while, when he met Brother Xiaoran, he also hid a haha and diverted the topic.

What happened to Ruochen?

Why don't you meet yourself?

Zhang Zhang took a sip of tea gently, and his mood became even more annoyed.

Two of the three servants in the courtyard were transferred, leaving only a dazzled and deaf old man to do chores every day, which made tension tense his nerves.

At the same time that Zhang Zhang was thinking nonsense in Banqiao Hutong, he was also sitting alone in the private room of the Red Temple Restaurant, drinking sullen wine alone.

Just an hour ago, the young lady threw a paper ball from the upstairs window while she was walking past the Jingyue Building!

Seeing the anxious look of the young lady upstairs, I'm afraid I've been waiting for a long time for the opportunity to pass downstairs alone, right?

I didn't dare to slack off, so I quickly picked up the paper ball and hurried away.

After I came to the private room of this Red Temple Restaurant just now, I dared to open it to see.

As a result, when I saw the word 'tension' at the beginning, I immediately rubbed the paper back into a lump and put it in my arms!

With a letter?

Or not?

Miss and her sister Ling'er grew up together since childhood, they are like sisters, and emotionally speaking, they are more willing to help Miss once.

But the master of the Guogong Mansion is still the grandfather of the country, and the grandfather of the country strictly forbids the young lady to contact the outside.

Moreover, Grandpa Guo also specially warned the servants and maids, and said that whoever dared to report the news would be killed on the spot!

What to do?

A jar of Lao Fen wine has been drunk, and the cooked beef outside the customs has also eaten three plates, and his face is flushed, and he still can't make a decision.

For a whole afternoon, the shopkeeper looked inside through the crack in the door of the private room several times, but the customers inside never finished eating.

This master is from the British government, and he doesn't go out to settle the bill, so who dares to urge him? (To be continued.) )
