Zhang Hu has no hobbies, he doesn't gamble, sleeps, doesn't like to have fun, doesn't like luxury, and even has no special requirements for delicacies and drinks.

Because he drank an ordinary amount of alcohol and had been educated since he was a child, he was extra cautious when he was outside, and he never ate or drank much, and Yang Yifu did not dare to pour his wine.

At this time, he rode on a horse and slowly returned to the house, his mouth no longer smelled any wine, and when he changed his clothes, he rinsed his mouth again, and went to see his younger brother Zhang Bi.

Zhang Bi was lying on his back, with a pair of small fists clenched, looking that he was not very stable when he fell asleep.

The people who were waiting on the side saw Zhang Hu coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greet him, and said: "The little young master chattered for half the night, saying why haven't you come back, and persuaded him for a long time, and the little one coaxed him to say that the eldest young master will come tomorrow, although he didn't believe it, he stayed up late at night, and finally fell asleep." ”

For the subordinates who are waiting in Zhang's mansion, this little young master is really very difficult to coax.

The rest of the six or seven-year-old children, who doesn't say anything and believe what?

But this one can be identified.

You said, "The eldest young master will come tomorrow," and he asked, "When will my brother come?" Tomorrow's court meeting, he will go out when he is in the middle of the day, will he come to see me when he is ugly? ”。

The younger brother is smart, and Zhang Hu naturally knows it, so he said: "Don't coax him with lies in the future." ”

The person below immediately responded, but he secretly complained in his heart.

One by one, the lord and the lady are far away in Ganzhou, and the eldest young master is going to the government again, up and down the house, only this little master's family, and there is no one who can even cure him.

Zhang Hu didn't care so much, but continued to ask: "How is he in school these days?" ”

The man hurriedly said: "I heard that it went very smoothly, and there are no problems. ”

Zhang Hu nodded, and asked what books he had read, which gentleman was teaching in the past few days, and what was the atmosphere in the school.

At this time, he was waiting on the side, but he was accompanied by the daily life, how to answer, he hesitated for a while, and said busily: "The little one is going to call the bamboo inkstone, it is he who accompanies the little master to school." ”

Zhang Hu did not stop it.

After a while, the scholar named Zhuyan had already come out in a hurry, told the situation in the school one by one, and said: "...... There are fifteen people in the school, the little master is the youngest, but he is not afraid at all, he can advance and retreat, and he learns quickly. ”

He also talked about who the gentleman was teaching in the past few days, what Zhang Bi had learned, and what his homework was.

Zhang Hu nodded and asked, "Where is the homework at this time?" ”

Zhu Yan hurriedly led him to the table, turned on the lamp again, and took out the homework that Zhang Bi had written during the day.

Zhang Hu sat at the table, looked through it slowly, saw half of it, but frowned slightly, took out two of the pieces of paper separately, looked up and asked, "Who wrote this?" ”

Zhu Yan hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, first didn't see anything wrong, and then looked carefully, it was easy to identify the handwriting on both sides seemed to be a little different, and then looked at the front and back, sure enough, even the content could not be connected, thought for a while, and said busily: "The young master is very popular in school, I think I accidentally mixed the copied books when I was playing with my classmates." ”

He added: "It's the small one that didn't follow well, and I will definitely be more careful next time." ”

Zhang Hu was not very satisfied, and said: "Today is two books copied by others mixed in Bi'er's book bag, if there is any undesirable books and papers mixed in tomorrow, and what food will be mixed in the day after tomorrow, he is young after all, one is inadvertent, or eats, or uses, or there is no inappropriate thing for others to see, what should he do?" ”

Then he commanded: "If you can't follow one person closely, ask one or two more to follow in school, and if you ask me to see this next time, it won't be so easy!" ”

Zhu Yan listened, and hurriedly admitted that it should be wrong.

For a while, Zhang Hu asked again: "Tomorrow I went to school to find out who copied the book, how did I put it in the little master's book bag, and I will go back and forth when I figure it out." ”

Fu advised: "I can't control many people in Guozixue, but if they are studying in the same room as Bi'er, if anyone brings a bad atmosphere, or leaves early, or is late, or disrespects the teacher, or has a rampant behavior, they all come to tell me." ”

The bamboo inkstone was busy again.

After the explanation was completed, Zhang Hu went back to the room, and after washing, he was not busy falling asleep, and went to the study again to read the "Xingshui Jinjian" for a long time and the method of harnessing water and washing sand drawn up in the water prison, and consciously grasped it very much, so he squinted for an hour or two, and immediately got up and went to court.

After the next day, he returned to the yazhong, and immediately called the officials in his subordinates, asked about the progress, and said: "The last time I said that I would set up a card in the Bianhe River outside the city, and the water was washed into the sand, and I promised to issue a charter in five days, but now it is the sixth day, why haven't I seen anything come out?" ”

The man hurriedly said: "It's ready, and I'm asking the next plumber to check it again, but I'm afraid that there is something wrong with it." ”

Zhang Hu urged: "Tell them to hurry up, I will enter the palace in the afternoon, and I will be able to bring them in." ”

The official hurriedly sent his subordinates to the back office.

The first two plumbers in it, Shen Cunfu and Gao Ya, were facing the charter and calculating, giving them a headache.

Na Gao Ya said: "How can this matter be lucky, I can't figure it out, I don't dare to hand it over." ”

Shen Cunfu also said: "The matter of harnessing water and washing sand, the thickness of the sand and the depth of the water are very important, different river sections, different water depths, and even the speed of the water flow, it is necessary to carefully check it, and it is not good to mess around." ”

Although the person urging the river is not very clear about the matter of the river work, he understands the matter of officialdom very well, and only said: "It's not that you are told about the situation of the Bianhe River one by one, just to do the Yangzhou Gate and Xinzheng Gate two sections, and you can make up for it later, at this time, you are just in a hurry to hand it over - as long as the book is approved, how to act in the future, can't it be changed?" ”

He also said: "The former Supervisor Zhang is in a hurry to use it, if there is nothing to do, send him this charter first, and you two will slowly check it here!" ”

Gao and Shen couldn't, so they had to hurriedly face the big face and hand back the charter.

Besides, Zhang Hu got the chapter sent by his head, and he went through it again from the beginning, and when he saw that there was no change, he put it in his sleeve and hurriedly went to Ciming Palace.

Although the Empress Dowager was very busy, she still took a little time to see him, and when she received the charter, read it briefly, and said: "You hand it to the Chinese book, and when they check it, it's not too late to read it with me." ”

He also said: "You come according to the rules, Fan Yaochen doesn't dare to come nonsense, I will keep an eye on it." ”
