Li Dongyang looked at Zhang Yue teasingly, "Then you can tell the truth, and by the way, tell your mother about your glorious history in Wuling Mountain over the years." ”

Zhang Yue's face immediately covered with dark clouds, "Don't, my mother will definitely sweep me out of the house if she knows." And I promised my master not to tell my family about studying at the academy. ”

Next to him, Liu looked at Zhang Yue's anxious appearance, and hurriedly opened his mouth, "Dongyang, don't tease Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, your senior brother is joking with you, don't worry, when the meal is finished, I will prepare some gifts to go to your house and visit your parents, just say that we used to be old acquaintances in Zunhua, and now we are reunited in the capital, and we invite you to come to my house to live for a while." Won't you be free during this time. ”

Zhang Yue's face turned cloudy to clear, hugged Liu's arm, and said coquettishly, "Sister-in-law, this method is good, or sister-in-law hurts me." Sister-in-law eat more. Zhang Yue hurriedly helped Liu's cloth on the side.

Liu looked at Zhang Yue's courteous appearance, and laughed in his heart, "You, hurry up and go back to the house to prepare first, I'll go over before noon." ”

Zhang Yue happily agreed and hurriedly left the Li Mansion.

Zhang Yue returned to Zhang's house, changed into boudoir women's clothes, and waited in the house with Xiaotong, at noon, her mother's maid Xiaohua came to deliver a message, saying that a distinguished guest was coming, and Mrs. asked Zhang Yue to come out to meet the guest. Zhang Yue thought that Liu was coming, his face was silent, and he took Xiaotong to the front hall.

The distinguished guest who came was indeed Liu, and Zhang Yue's mother Jin was drinking tea with Liu in the hall at this time. Zhang Yue arrived in the hall and said hello to her mother, Jin smiled and said, "Yue'er, let's see who came to see you?" ”

Zhang Yue pretended to be surprised and said, "Sister Liu, why are you?" ”

Liu cooperated and said, "Sister Yue'er, it's me, I met you again in the capital a few days ago, my sister has been thinking about it, and today I came to see Mrs. Zhang and my sister." ”

Jin was originally puzzled that Zhang Yue could know the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, seeing that the two met so familiarly, she eliminated her doubts at the moment, but she heard that Liu's husband Li Dongyang was a famous talent in the world, and he was an official in the court, and his future was limitless, and his daughter actually knew his wife, so why worry about not finding Ruyi Langjun in the future, the more she thought about it, the more she was happy, and her face smiled.

"Yue'er, why didn't you tell your mother before, you know Mrs. Li?"

Zhang Yue hurriedly replied, "Mother, not long after my sister and I met in Zunhua, my sister married into a family in the capital and broke off contact, so I didn't tell my mother. ”

Liu also said next to him, "Mrs. Zhang, although I am a few years old, but I have a very close relationship with my sister, I have broken contact in recent years, and I often miss it, I met in the capital a few days ago, and I learned that my sister's family moved to the capital, so I hurried to visit your aunt." ”

Jin Shi said, "Mrs. Li came to see the old body, and the old body was also moved, and you also brought so many gifts, so that the old body didn't know how to repay it!" ”

Liu smiled, "Mrs. Zhang is polite, I am like sisters with Yue'er, and her mother is also half my mother, so she should be respected." ”

Liu comes from a large family, is knowledgeable, and has a decent conversation and elegant temperament between the Q&A with the Jin family. The more Kim looked at it, the more he liked it. After chatting for a while, Liu saw that the time was almost up, and said, "Mrs. Zhang, I have a reluctant request. I wonder if Madame will be able to answer? ”

Jin hurriedly said, "Mrs. Li said that's it?" ”

Liu said, "I haven't seen Yue'er for a long time, there are too many sisterhoods I want to talk about, can you let Yue'er go to my Li Mansion to live for a while, Yue'er and I can also be companions." I can also introduce some of the women and nobles in the capital to Yue'er. ”

When the Jin family heard this, they were eager to know many women from families with status, and said again and again, "Yue'er can go to Li's Mansion and study beside Mrs. Li, it's a blessing she can't ask for, Yue'er, you can pack up in a while and go to Mrs. Li's house as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Yuexin said that when her mother saw that she had the opportunity to meet the upper-class noblewoman, she couldn't wait to let her go out immediately, and secretly slandered her mother, and said obediently, "Yes." ”

Liu chatted with Jin and Zhang Yue for a while, then took his leave, and made an appointment before leaving, and the carriage of the Li Mansion came to Zhang's house to pick up Zhang Yue at dusk.

After the Liu family left, the Jin family instructed Zhang Yue a lot, which was nothing more than to get to know more high-status ladies through the Liu family. Zhang Yue perfunctory a few words to her mother, and then went back to the room to pack her luggage with Xiaotong.

At dusk, the carriage of the Li Mansion arrived at Zhang's house and took Zhang Yue and Xiaotong to the Li Mansion together.

That night, Zhang Yue stayed in the Li Mansion, and the room prepared by the Liu family for Zhang Yue was very spacious, and Zhang Yue had a sense of freedom and comfort as if he had returned to the academy. She even longed for a future job in Qin Tianjian.

After he really became a prisoner, Zhang Yue slowly learned that Qin Tianjian was subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, observing the celestial phenomena, calculating the solar terms, and formulating the calendar. The highest official of the Qin Tianjian is the official rank of the fifth rank, and the subordinate officials below are even lower, and the rank of the subordinate officials is even lower, and the rank of the emperor is generally not high, so it has always been an unpopular cold yamen in the various official offices of the imperial court.

The eunuch served by Zhang Yue is not strictly speaking, but a small official. However, because Zhang Yue was the person ordered by Lord Zhou, Zheng Jian was very polite to Zhang Yue, and specially arranged a room for Zhang Yue as Zhang Yue's daily resting place.

Together with Zhang Yue, there are two supervisors who are mainly responsible for assembling the ground motion instrument, one is Yang Supervisor in his forties, and the other is Ma Supervisor in his thirties. Eunuch Yang is the old eunuch of Qin Tianjian, with profound skills, honesty, and not good at words. Ma Jian Hou has a cheerful personality and is extremely good at talking. Zhang Yue is handsome, has a sweet mouth, and from time to time brings snacks and delicacies to the two of them, so the three of them get along very well.

Zhou Hongmo has only been here once in the past few days, in addition to looking at the assembly progress, he also told the installation of the ground motion instrument is a secret of the imperial court, and no one is allowed to spread it until the assembly is successful.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhang Yue, Yang and Ma finished their work for the day, and it was still early. Ma Jianhou proposed to go to the restaurant to drink, Zhang Yue couldn't help it, and was pulled by the two to a nearby restaurant, Ma Jianhou drank very little, but he was quite capable, and he got drunk after a few drinks, Yang Jianhou saw that Ma Jianhou was drunk, shook his head, and Zhang Yue helped Ma Jianhou out of the restaurant. Ma Jian Hou's drunken footsteps were vain, and he shook three times in one step, and Zhang Yue and Yang Jian Hou helped him to send him home.

Suddenly, a group of people came in the distance, and the officers and soldiers who walked in front of them to open the way shouted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Hami Zhongshun Prince entered the court, and the people of the Ming Dynasty knelt down and avoided it." ”

Pedestrians on the road gave way to the middle avenue and knelt down with their heads bowed. Zhang Yue and the three of them also knelt down with the people, and a majestic team walked by, and a few high-headed horses at the head of the team sat a few people in very luxurious clothes.
