The next day, the people from the Ministry of Rites finally arrived at Huating, and everyone in the Xu family respectfully greeted them outside the door.

Yu Youding, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took out the holy decree and read it slowly: "Xu Jie's loyalty to the country, very meritorious, successive two generations of kings, I heard that Xu Jie's death, heartbroken, read his merits, and was specially posthumously promoted to the Taishi, nicknamed Wenzhen." ”

After Yu Youding finished reading, he said softly: "Everyone, get up." ”

Xu Fan, the uncle of the Xu family, said with a smile: "Lord Yu is working hard, and he will prepare a little thin wine to catch the wind for the adults." ”

Yu Youding waved his hand and refused: "Xu Taibao is newly mourned, we should not drink." ”

Then, he walked to Zhang Juzheng and said with a smile: "Uncle, it's been a year since I said goodbye to the capital, and I see that your body is much better than it was at the beginning." ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded and responded with a smile: "There are fewer things to manage, and there are fewer worries, so this body will naturally be better." ”

"You need to pay more attention to your body."

Yu Youding nodded, and then followed Zhang Juzheng towards the inner courtyard of the Xu family.

Xu Jieling in front of the spirit.

Yu Youding felt a sense of sadness in this silent atmosphere.

Although he and Xu Jie have no teacher-student relationship, he still admires the Shoufu Lord who pulled down Yan Song very much, and now that Xu Jie has died, he, as a junior, naturally has to say goodbye.

Yu Youding picked up three sticks of incense, put them on the fire and lit them, and then, knelt down on the cushion, and after kneeling three times gently, he raised his head, stared at Xu Jie's coffin, and inserted the incense in front of the spirit.

After a long time, it slowly retreated.

After the Xu family saw that Yu Youding was finished, they staged a filial son crying grave.

Yu Youding was taken to a side room to rest with Zhang Juzheng.

"Bingzhong, how have you been doing lately?" Zhang Juzheng asked with a smile. (Yu Youzi Bingzhong)

"Alas, I'm okay, but you're not here, Zhang Siwei has planted a lot of nails in the sixth department." Yu Youding sighed and said slowly.

"A little junior, why bother, when I was in the cabinet, that Siwei was busy currying favor with me." Zhang Juzheng waved his hand, his face full of indifference.

"That's right, as long as you can return to the court, all problems will be solved." Yu Youding nodded.

Then, he asked with a smile: "Uncle, when will you return to the court?" I'm afraid that after a long time, the people under my hands will have different hearts. ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Zhang Juzheng muttered with a smile.

Subsequently, Yu Youding was told to stabilize the situation and just wait for him to return to the court.

"Those wall grasses, just let them go, just a little people, thinking that both sides can protect themselves, hum." Zhang Juzheng said coldly.

Yu Youding nodded with a smile and did not speak.

Zhang Jingxiu's residence.

After a friendly conversation with Xu Miaoxue yesterday, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up.

It's bitter for Zhang Yun, after yesterday's incident, his relationship with Zhu Ziyi has become even worse, but for Zhang Jingxiu's lifelong event, Zhang Yun feels that his sacrifice is still worth it.

"Big brother, when did you mention this matter to your uncle?" Zhang Yun smiled.

After hearing this, Zhang Jingxiu hesitated a little: "This, when Miss Xu officially agrees, I will tell my father again." ”

"Big brother, the marriage contract is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, I think Miss Xu is also interesting to you, you are a concubine, I will go and tell my uncle now." Zhang Yun said that he would go and inform Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Jingxiu hurriedly grabbed him, his face panicked: "Tell my father now, I'm afraid that he will scold me for not learning and not knowing, and now that Xu Taibao is in mourning, I just want to marry a wife, I'm afraid it's not immoral." ”

After Zhang Yun heard this, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, feeling that what Zhang Jingxiu said made some sense, according to the convention, the grandson has to keep filial piety for his grandfather for three years, but the granddaughter doesn't know how long it will take.

Zhang Yun thought about it, even if he couldn't get married immediately, he could still make a marriage agreement first.

"Big brother, aren't you afraid that Miss Xu will promise someone else?" Zhang Yun threatened.

"Miss Xu shouldn't let anyone else, let's talk about it." Zhang Jingxiu shook his head frantically in denial, but his words were obviously full of unconfidence.

Zhang Yun saw that Zhang Jingxiu was a little shaken, and added a dose of fierce medicine to him: "Even if Miss Xu can wait for you, his father can wait for you?" Once you promise someone else, it's too late for you to cry. ”

Zhang Jingxiu heard this, gritted his teeth, and was about to go to Zhang Juzheng to protect the media.

"Father, the child has something important to see." Zhang Jingxiu asked respectfully outside the door.

"Come in." There was a faint sound from inside.

As soon as Zhang Yun pushed the door in, he saw Zhang Juzheng and another old man in a red official robe, who was Yu Youding.

Zhang Yun and Zhang Jingxiu hurriedly saluted.

Yu Youding praised Zhang Juzheng and said: "Uncle, your nephew and son are both dragons and phoenixes among people, Jing Xiu is already a Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites at a young age, Zhang Yun is now a pacification envoy, and his future achievements are not under me." ”

"Hmph, it's just relying on the shadow of the ancestors, and it's not a hero." Zhang Juzheng said coldly.

After Zhang Yun and Zhang Jingxiu heard this, they nodded their heads again and again.

Zhang Juzheng remembered that Zhang Jingxiu had something important to do with him, and asked slowly: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Zhang Jingxiu was frightened by Zhang Juzhengyi and was speechless for a long time.

"Slap" Zhang Juzheng slapped the table and said angrily: "If you have anything to say, don't be awkward and pinch, and be a woman." ”

Zhang Jingxiu was even more nervous and sweating profusely.

Zhang Yun took a step forward and knelt down in front of Zhang Juzheng and said, "Uncle, the eldest brother wants to ask to marry Xu Taibao's granddaughter, and I hope that my uncle can go to propose marriage." ”

Zhang Juzheng and Yu Youding heard this, glanced at each other, and then nodded.

Both of them know that the current Xu family is precarious, and Xu Jie can still have some deterrent power before he dies, but now that he is suddenly dead, how can he not be remembered for guarding such a large family business?

If Zhang Jingxiu can marry Xu Jie's granddaughter, this is to tell the outside world that the Xu family has not collapsed, and if you want to stretch your claws, you have to weigh it first, whether you are enough for it.

"In the future, if there is anything to be clear, I see how old you are to be your brother, and you are not as good as him."

"Go down, I'll take care of this." Zhang Juzheng said lightly.

After Zhang Jingxiu heard this, he hurriedly pulled Zhang Yun away as if he had been pardoned.

Yu Youding looked at the two who left, and asked with a smile: "These two boys have vicious eyes, I think it is time for the Xu family to make a good appearance." ”

"We can't help them in vain, and deter the little ones."

Zhang Juzheng smiled and nodded, this time he had to let the Xu family take out tens of thousands of acres of land.

Zhang Jingxiu didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

On the way back, Zhang Jingxiu's face was full of excitement: "Little brother, you have done a great favor for your brother this time, if you have something in the future, you will never shirk for your brother." ”

Zhang Yun chuckled lightly and did not speak.

In the early morning of the next day, this was the date of Xu Jie's burial, and the group took Xu Jie's coffin and went straight to the ancestral tomb of the Xu family.

When he arrived at the location, Yu Youding first read out the deeds of Xu Jie, roared, and shouted loudly: "Send Xu Taibao to be buried." ”

The person in charge of the burial gently lowered Xu Jie's coffin, and then sealed the tomb.

The descendants of the Xu family on the side cried heartbreakingly.

After the incident, Yu Youding grabbed the uncle of the Xu family, pulled him aside, and said with a smile: "I have a great opportunity to give it to your family, are you willing?" ”

"Lord Yu, please speak quickly." Xu Fan is also anxious now, after Xu Jie's death, the things he did will definitely be shaken out.

"Lord Zhang's son, I have fallen in love with your youngest daughter, entrusting me to protect the media, wouldn't it be wonderful for the two families to marry Qin and Jin?" Yu Youding was full of smiles.

"My father is newly mourned, and the little girl has to keep filial piety for a year, at this time, I'm afraid it's not good." Xu Fan heard that Zhang Juzheng's son was interested in his daughter, and his heart blossomed, but he still pretended to be embarrassed on the surface.

Yu Youding waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Don't get in the way, just let the two of them make a marriage contract first." ”

"Then that's the only way to do it first," Xu Fan replied respectfully.

"Hahaha......"

"Then I wish you and Master Zhang a kiss." Yu Youding smiled.

He secretly said in his heart: "This time I have to let you bleed well." ”

After Yu Youding got Xu Fan, he immediately went to discuss with Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng quipped: "Bingzhong, you came to Huating once to promote a marriage, which can be regarded as a beautiful talk." ”

Yu Youguang didn't care, and hurriedly asked, "This time, how many dowries are you going to let them dowry?" ”

Zhang Juzheng said lightly: "40,000 acres of land." ”

"What?!"
