Chapter 52: Speak Up
The name of the third uncle of the big house is Yu, and he has been the official to the Taichang Qing of the third grade.
At the age of sixty, he returned to his hometown due to illness and returned to the Zhang family's hometown, Qinghe Dongwu City, and his sixth great-grandfather, as a respected patriarch in the clan, has always influenced the decision-making of major events in the clan.
Even the chief of the long house, who was the patriarch, and the eldest lang of the same generation as Zhang Ying, all retreated.
Now the third uncle is over 70 years old, and he is still in good spirits and has a childish face.
I have been on the road for more than ten days, but I don't see the slightest tiredness.
At this moment, sitting in the position of the top, the momentum and majesty accumulated over the past ten years have made the first two rows of nephews and grandchildren in Beijing hold their breath, and no one dares to speak, respecting the order of the elders and the young, and the rules are strict, just like the public mansion.
"Aten, Ade, and Aying stay, and the rest go back."
As soon as the words fell, the next answer sounded at the same time, and then people withdrew one after another, and soon there were only three people left in the room except for Zhang Yu at the top.
"Aten, you can sit down too." Zhang Yu, who was kneeling at the top, waved his ivory handle tail.
Then, he looked at Zhang Ying at the bottom right, "Ah Ying, tell me about your plans." ”
"Uncle, two months ago, my grandson's letter to you and my great-grandfather was written very clearly." Zhang Ying really didn't want to say anything more.
When Zhang Yu saw it, he had to remind lightly: "Ah Ying, the Hua family hadn't fallen at that time. ”
"My grandson doesn't think it's any different, even if the Hua family falls, it's still my wife's mother's family and my child's foreign family."
"This old man doesn't deny it, the old man didn't want you to reconcile with Ah Hua."
Zhang Yu nodded, but the conversation changed, "Since you can think like this, shouldn't you save the Hua family, but now, how can you go to pull the Hua family with a white body." ”
"Don't forget, the Li family of Zhao County, all men over the age of twelve will be executed."
"Yin Jian is not far away, and the fate of the Li family in Zhao County is a lesson for the Hua family."
Zhang Ying listened, and replied in a muffled voice, "Grandson understands." ”
He did understand in his heart that the third uncle's words were by no means alarmist, "Grandson will find a way, grandson has already planned to let Ah Hua and Qilang Banniang return to Qinghe, although grandson is already a white body, but he has been out of office for nearly 20 years, and there are still people who can be used." ”
"Nonsense." Zhang Yu shouted, "You are not allowed to come nonsense." ”
"Of course, as long as my uncle is willing to help me, my grandson will never come to me." Zhang Ying replied with a smile, the third uncle was angry, but he was more calm.
The plans of the clan, he also guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and about to resign from him, and his anger has not subsided.
Zhang Yu listened to Zhang Ying's words, and only felt angry, "Ah Ying, listen, the old man will not, and he is not willing, to let the Zhang family be involved." ”
"Ah Teng and Ade, you also listen, the Hua family's affairs, don't interfere." With a somewhat persecutive gaze, he stared closely at Zhang Teng on the lower left, and Zhang De who swept towards Zhang Ying's side.
Zhang Teng responded cheerfully.
Zhang De lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at Zhang Ying when he agreed, feeling a little guilty in his heart.
The Hua family's incident this time was too big, and he didn't want the Zhang family to be involved, but the Zhang Hua family has always been good friends and often has marriages, and he and Zhang Ying's brothers have had a good relationship since childhood, and the Hua family is Zhang Ying's father-in-law.
Therefore, he wanted to help Zhang Ying.
Unexpectedly, the thirteenth uncle really invited the third uncle to Luojing.
Could it be that it was just to stop Zhang Ying and prevent Zhang Ying from helping the Hua family.
Zhang De tugged at his mustache, and vaguely felt that it was not so simple, if the thirteenth uncle could invite the third uncle, there must be something else.
"If you don't help me, my grandson won't dare to have an opinion, but please don't stop my grandson, the Hua family, my grandson will definitely save it." Zhang Ying's attitude was very resolute.
The third uncle, Zhang Yu's voice suddenly became a little stern, "If the old man doesn't allow it, what are you going to do?" You plan to abandon the Zhang family, or lose the entire Zhang family in the future. ”
Zhang Ying hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed and replied, "Grandson doesn't dare, and won't." ”
"If you don't dare, you will resign if you say goodbye, and you won't even say hello." As soon as Zhang Yu mentioned this, he was heartbroken, "Before you died, you entrusted you to the old man, and the old man has done his best for you over the years." ”
"No, you don't have an old man in your eyes."
"My grandson didn't." Zhang Ying lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists, and placed them at his side.
"Ah Ying, you don't want anything else, think about Qilang, Qilang is fourteen years old, you have to think about his future."
"It is for the sake of Qilang that the grandson needs to do this even more, if the grandson's reputation is flawed, how to try how Qilang will gain a foothold in the future, if the sixteenth mother grows up and asks where the foreign family is, how should the grandson answer."
Zhang Ying bowed his head twice, and then got up, "Grandson just wants to stand upright, the Hua family is up because of grandson, and grandson should also be responsible." ”
Zhang Yu listened, looked at Zhang Ying's stubbornness, and couldn't help but be anxious, "Since you know that it is because of you, you should know that there is a better solution......
"In my uncle's eyes, what is a better solution?" Zhang Ying categorically interrupted Zhang Yu's words.
Suddenly, Zhang Yu was a little annoyed and angry, "Remind you, Imperial Envoy Tai Zhu Jun, not only investigated the Hua family, but also investigated the Zhang family, why did he do this, you are like a mirror in your heart, there is a better solution, you can't compromise." ”
"My grandson can't." Zhang Ying's tone was extremely indifferent, hiding the ups and downs in her heart.
As long as the third uncle doesn't say it, he doesn't know what he says, and he pretends to be nonsense.
"You're going to be angry with the old man, aren't you?" Zhang Yu was so angry that he slammed the bed under him a few times, "The front is towards Li Chong, which can be emulated." ”
Li Chong was an important minister of the former Empress Dowager Feng, and he was also the male favorite of the Empress Dowager Feng.
Because Li Chong was favored by the Empress Dowager Feng, the Li family was full of doors, and it was very prominent in the previous dynasty, and the marriages were all big families, and the Li family in Longxi also prospered from this.
It is precisely because of this that even if Li Chong has done a lot in court politics, he will inevitably be criticized by others and have a mixed reputation in the history books.
All along, he had been extremely avoidant.
I don't want to, the third uncle didn't care about his face and made it clear to him.
Tom, Zhang Ying only felt that his blood was surging, churning so badly, he couldn't suppress it, did he overestimate the bottom line of the third uncle, or did he say it, Zhang Ying sneered, "Sun Er is unwilling." ”
"Zhang's family is not a baby, and his uncle has a heart, so he can choose others and send them to the palace to seek glory." Zhang Ying's heart was surging, and he got up and saluted, "Grandson retires." ”
Then, turn around and leave.
"Bastard, you stop for the old man." Zhang Yu's shouting and scolding came from behind him.
Zhang Ying turned a deaf ear and turned around and walked out without looking back.
