Chapter 245: Half a Roll of the Red Mansion
Zhang Yang smiled apologetically, "I don't know what happened to the secretary Lang?" ”
Cen Wenwen explained: "Your Majesty has made arrangements, and I will inform you earlier." ”
"So that's the case, the secretary might as well come in first to speak."
Cen Wenwen looked at the sky, there was already a white fish belly on the horizon, and then saw that Zhang Yang was wearing a very strange skirt in front of him, "This skirt is ......"
"It's an apron, it's going to be renovated at home, I'm going to take a shower recently."
"I see, what a weird person." Cen Wenwen sighed: "I won't go in to speak, for fear of missing the time of the early dynasty, Your Majesty means that you will be the secretary of the later to supervise the affairs and deal with all kinds of music and documents, of course, you are still the court councilor." ”
Zhang Yang asked in a low voice: "Is it the change of official position, does it mean a change of guard?" Is it possible to go to Chongwen Temple? ”
Cen Wenwen nodded and said, "Of course it's okay, it's not too early, so the old man will go to the early court first." ”
"Don't delay, then."
"Don't send it."
Cen Wenwen walked away quickly.
After the others left, Zhang Yang continued to mix the mortar, lifting the mortar onto the roof and pasting it on the masonry.
Li Yue also got up early, she washed up and looked at the roof first, "Just now, is there a guest at home?" ”
Zhang Yang muddled on the wall, "The secretary Lang Cen has come to the text, and he asked me to go to the secretary to supervise the sorting of documents and chapters." ”
"Last year's court and the central government have not given it, and this year I asked my husband to serve as secretary and supervisor." Li Yue muttered that his expression was full of unhappiness, as if he had been wronged.
I climbed down from the roof of my house, looked up and looked at the roof again, and I felt good about the bricks and tiles in my house.
The couple had breakfast, and the two aunts also came over to help.
Li Yue patiently dressed Zhang Yang in an official uniform.
"If you want to eat, buy it for you when you come back."
"I want to eat asparagus."
"There should be another buy this season, I'll go to the market to have a look."
"Don't be in a hurry to eat, the husband still serves well in the court." Li Yue carefully arranged Zhang Yang's sleeves, "I can also re-enter Zhongshu Province in the future, although the official position is small now, there will still be opportunities in the future." ”
The two aunts came early to help repair the platform.
After putting on the official uniform, Li Yue took out some dried fruits, "If you come back late, you can eat some secretly when you are hungry." ”
Zhang Yang reached out and pinched her little face, and walked out of the house under the rebellious gaze of his daughter-in-law.
Walking on Suzaku Street, Zhang Yang thought about the production of shower pipes, and also made a hole in the roof to make a channel for water transportation, and then connected to the bathroom with a bamboo tube, and the water valve must be firm and iron.
While thinking about walking into the imperial city, it was a lot quieter when I walked into the Suzaku Gate from Suzaku Street.
There are officials coming and going, and everyone is busy with their own things in a hurry.
When I looked up, I saw a guy waving to me, and when I walked further, I saw that it was Xu Jingzong.
"Xu Shilang, this is just going to court?"
"Zhang Shilang is here to be on duty?"
Zhang Yang waved his hands, "Your Majesty asked me to go to the secretary and supervisor to be on duty, sort out and sort out the chapters and do some idle chores." ”
Zhang Shilang took a step to speak. Xu Jingzong pulled Zhang Yang to the side.
Seeing that there was no one around, Xu Jingzong said: "Your Majesty wants to use it, and even wants Zhang Shilang to return to the Ministry of Rites, because of the mistakes made at the beginning, and the promotion that is difficult to understand directly." ”
Breathing in the sun, Zhang Yang stood against the wall with his hands in his hands, "Actually, it's pretty good." ”
Xu Jingzong also leaned against the wall, "If you go to the secretary and prison, you have to be careful of one person." ”
Looking at Xu Jingzong suspiciously, Zhang Yang was puzzled: "Be careful of whom?" ”
Xu Jingzong lowered his voice again, "Zhang Shilang, do you know Yan Shigu?" ”
"Yan Shigu? I've heard of it, but I don't know it. ”
Zhang Yang quickly gave an answer, and some fragmentary memories of later generations flashed in his mind.
Xu Jingzong looked at the secretary and supervisor in the distance, "This Yan Shigu has been from a famous family since he was a child, he is the grandson of the famous Confucian Yan Zhitui, and he is also a young eunuch who is a regular attendant and a secretary, and this person has never dealt with Cen Wenwen. ”
"How not to deal with it?"
"Yan Shigu is a good friend from all over the world, but he is quite prejudiced against the children of the poor family, His Majesty recruits learned people for the court, and it is a wise move to use them for the community......"
This guy is talking and going to shoot Li Shimin's sycophants, where does the bad habit come from, he has to sing praises to Li Shimin at every turn.
Xu Jingzong whispered: "A person like Zhang Shilang must have been troubled by Yan Shigu, so you have to be careful when you go on duty." ”
Zhang Yang was puzzled: "What about Cen Wenwen?" ”
"Many people in the DPRK and China know that Cen Wenwen's talent and learning are far beyond Yan Shigu, but Yan Shigu was born in a famous family and has so many friends to help, where is Cen Wenwen's opponent, he can only swallow grievances and do things."
"The government is not big, but there are a lot of things." Zhang Yang frowned.
Seeing someone coming, Xu Jingzong hurriedly said: "The lower officials will go back to the Ministry of Rites first, I heard that a letter has been sent from Tibet recently, maybe it will arrive in these two days." ”
"Go ahead."
"Farewell, farewell."
Zhang Yang straightened his official uniform and walked to the secretary and supervisor.
There are also advantages to being a small civil official, at least not having to go to court every day, which is an advantage.
Xu Jingzong is a Chang'an Tong, but he can say a few words about anyone or anything in the court.
When I came to the door of the secretary and prison, the civil officials who came and went here were busy.
On the contrary, it was very quiet inside, and even the people here spoke quietly.
Glancing around, he didn't see Cen Wenwen, Zhang Yang walked in, and no one came to take care of him, looking at a middle-aged man sitting on the upper seat, it seems that he is Yan Shigu.
Picking up a book here, Zhang Yang opened it and took a look, this book was written with the writing of the Five Classics, put down the book again, and walked to a corner, where there happened to be a table and a vacant seat.
Zhang Yang sat down cross-legged, looked at the people in front of him, and saw a person of his age sitting down beside him.
The man didn't speak, but sat down and pretended to look at the book, and it could be seen that he was pretending mainly because the book in his hand had been taken down.
It turns out that this secretary and supervisor also have gags, and at first glance they are like-minded.
Seeing that the other party also smiled at him, Zhang Yang arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask ...... face-to-face." ”
"In the Lower Tang Temple."
"It turned out to be Brother Tang, and I have admired him for a long time."
"You know me?"
"I don't know, be polite." Zhang Yang had a smile on his face, stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, and no matter how embarrassing he was, he had to smile at this time.
"Haven't seen you before, new here?"
Zhang Yang nodded, "Yes." ”
"Someone recommended?"
"It is true that someone recommended him to be in the secretarial prison."
Seeing that the person in front of him should not be able to read a few big characters, Zhang Yang asked: "This brother, how did you get into the secretarial prison?" ”
"I'm different from you, I submitted the paper to Yan Shilang, and Yan Shilang took a fancy to learn from the next, so he entered the secretary's prison."
"Really?" Zhang Yang picked up the pen and wrote down a word, "Dare to ask my brother, what is this word?" ”
The other party looked at it for a long time, and then smiled bitterly, "To be honest with you, I did get involved in the secretary and supervisor, and Yan Shilang didn't value the talent of the subordinates, because my family gave Yan Shilang a few silver cakes." ”
"A few pieces of silver cake can go into the secretary's prison?" Zhang Yang became more and more puzzled, the secretary and supervisor are also the government officials who handle government affairs, and a few pieces of silver cakes can enter.
The other party smiled coldly, "Of course, it's not just a few pieces of silver cake that are enough, because my father is Tang Jian, the head of the household." ”
"I see."
Zhang Yang nodded knowingly.
"And coming to the secretary and supervisor is not only for officials, but also to study and increase knowledge."
"Brother Tang's father is also well-intentioned."
"That's nature." Tang Guan was puzzled again: "Who are you?" How can you ask so much? ”
Zhang Yang smiled dryly: "Under Zhang Yang." ”
"Surname Zhang? Zhang Yang? Tang Guan slapped the table and said loudly: "Red Mansion! ”
"The Red Mansion is indeed a business that was done before." After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he saw the other party holding his hand, "Brother Tang, why are you holding me." ”
Tang Guan stared at the wide-eyed and said stupidly: "Red Mansion." ”
Zhang Yang struggled, "I know the Red Mansion, can you let go first." ”
Tang Guan smiled stupidly, as if crazy.
Is there anything wrong with this person, it seems to be abnormal, Zhang Yang took his hand away, got up and was about to leave.
Tang Guan fell to the ground with a thud, clutching Zhang Yang's feet.
After looking around, fortunately, no one paid attention to this corner, Zhang Yang suppressed his voice, "Brother Tang, what are you doing?" I don't think I owe you any money. ”
Tang Guan grabbed his legs, "You tell me!" ”
Zhang Yang wanted to pull his leg out and asked, "What did you tell you?" ”
Tang Guan slowly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, "You tell me, whether the vicious Aunt Zhao is dead or not, what happened to Baoyu later, and why the Red Mansion is gone." ”
"You let go first, if you don't let go, I'll do it!"
Tang Guan hugged his legs and said aggrievedly: "Do you know how I spend these days? I can't sleep well all day, I can't eat well all day, it's all for the ...... of the Red Mansion."
After all, the dispute between the two still attracted the attention of the secretary and the supervisor.
Yan Shigu saw Tang Guan's posture, waved his sleeves and said, "Then what did Tang Jian give birth to?" ”
Facing everyone's eyes, Tang Guan cried like a wronged mother-in-law.
Zhang Yang walked out of the secretary prison quickly, this ghost place can't stay.
Walking out of the Suzaku Gate, Zhang Yang lost interest and continued to stay in the secretary and prison, went to Dongshi to buy some meat and vegetables and went home.
Half a month later, the platform on the roof was almost completed, and Zhang Yang carried a wooden hammer to make a big bucket.
Li Tai whispered: "Recently, Tang Jian's son doesn't know what's wrong?" Waiting for you at the door of the secretary and prison all day long, just because of the half-roll of the Red Mansion, it seems that the entire Chang'an City is going crazy. ”
There are more and more voices talking about the Red Chamber, and some people even doubt whether the characters written in the book really exist.
The most interesting thing is that the Red Mansion only has the first half of the volume and no second half of the volume, and how many people are waiting for the next volume.
In the palace, Li Shimin held this volume of the Red Mansion, "The world is asking about the second half of the Red Mansion." ”
Li Chengqian bowed down and said: "Father, I heard that many people have begun to learn to read and write recently, just to read this book. ”
