After the Xu family reached an agreement with Zhang Juzheng, they immediately announced the news to the outside world.

For a time, the entire political arena in the South was shocked.

Those who couldn't wait to pounce on it, bite the Xu family, and want to share it were stunned.

The inner courtyard of the Xu family, Xu Miaoxue's boudoir.

Zhu Yu and Zhu Ziyi were gossiping with Xu Miaoxue, and a middle-aged beauty in a long white dress was smiling on the side, quietly watching all this.

"Miaoxue, you will be a married woman in the future."

"When you officially get married, you can't be as willful as you are at home." The middle-aged beautiful woman instructed.

Xu Miaoxue hummed lightly and said in a low voice: "I know, mother, you can rest assured." ”

That beautiful woman is Xu Miaoxue's mother-in-law, the wife of the Xu family's uncle, Zhao Mengyue.

"Auntie, don't worry, Zhang Jingxiu's son is also a scholarly family, and Master Zhang's door is extremely strict, so he can't suffer Miaoxue's sister." Zhu Yu was on the side, smiling and relieved.

"Yes, yes, Zhang Gongzi is a talent, and he has already been named on the gold list at a young age." Zhao Mengyue nodded again and again.

Casually, with a chuckle, he exited the room, leaving the space for the three of them.

Zhu Ziyi looked at Xu Miaoxue who was far away, and said with a smile: "Aunt Zhao is really worried about you, our Miaoxue is the best, where is there any little temper." ”

"I think, that Zhang Jingxiu can marry you, that is the blessing that he has cultivated for eight lifetimes."

"Just what you talk a lot?" Zhu Yu on the side glared at Zhu Ziyi and said coldly.

Zhu Ziyi saw her sister scolding, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to squeak.

"Giggle......

Xu Miaoxue saw Zhu Ziyi's frightened appearance and let out a silver bell-like laugh.

After calming down, he chuckled: "I think only my sister-in-law can control you." ”

Zhu Ziyi shrank her head stupidly, her mother died when she was a child, and her father didn't discipline her very much, she was all raised by her sister.

Therefore, for this sister, she has long regarded him as a mother-like character.

Zhu Yu looked at Zhu Ziyi's appearance, sighed, and said helplessly: "Alas, if my sister had Miaoxue, you would be half relieved." ”

"I'm worried that she won't be able to marry in the future."

After Zhu Ziyi heard this, she hugged Zhu Yu and said coquettishly: "Who wants to marry those stinky men, I will follow my sister in the future, you can't ignore me in the future." ”

"Get out!" Zhu Yu replied coldly.

"If you can't get married in three years, you can go back to Nanjing."

Zhang Jingxiu's residence.

Zhang Yun and Xu Yuanchun got together to relieve pressure for Zhang Jingxiu, this Zhang Jingxiu is a good hand at learning, but in the affairs of men and women, Xu Yuanchun is far better than him.

"Jing Xiu, we will be a family in the future, the family does not have to be restrained, you can just toast the elders later." Xu Yuanchun was full of smiles.

Zhang Jingxiu nodded, his hands still couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Zhang Yun held his hand and said with relief: "Big brother, you can treat them as examiners for the palace examination later." ”

Zhang Jingxiu took a deep breath and took Zhang Yun towards the engagement banquet.

Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Yun came late, at this time, the hall was almost full, Zhang Yun casually found a seat and sat down.

Xu Yuanchun followed Zhang Jingxiu to the main table.

Sitting down, Zhang Jingxiu first saluted Zhang Juzheng, and then saluted to the uncle of the Xu family.

After the ceremony, the uncle of the Xu family took Xu Miaoxue's hand with one hand and Zhang Jingxiu's hand with the other, put their hands together, and laughed loudly: "Thank you for coming to the engagement ceremony of the little girl Miaoxue and Master Zhang's son-in-law." ”

"I have a little wine today, and I hope you don't dislike it."

Hahaha......."

Everyone congratulated one after another.

Subsequently, Uncle Xu told Xu Miaoxue a few words, and then instructed Zhang Jingxiu a few words, Zhang Jingxiu nodded again and again, and hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, Lord Taishan, I will treat Miaoxue well." ”

"Okay, good......." Uncle Xu nodded with a smile.

Then with a wave of their hands, the guests moved their chopsticks, and there were young maids shuttling among them, pouring wine and food for the guests.

Zhang Yun sat in a corner, casually looking at the guests.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure, it was the Songjiang prefect who insulted Zhang Yun and others at the post station that day.

At this time, his face was full of flattery, and he was about to go up to Zhang Juzheng's table, and the arrogance of that day was like two people, which really performed the past and the future to the fullest.

Zhang Yun was disgusted after seeing it, and secretly said in his heart: "I said, it's not so easy, just wait for me." ”

A shrewd middle-aged man in a cyan official robe on the side saw Zhang Yun frowning, followed his gaze, and found that he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the Songjiang prefect, and his heart was overjoyed.

This person is Wei Ting, the same governor of Songjiang Mansion, who was originally transferred from the Songjiang Governor's Office, and he, the same acquaintance, is ready to sit on his ass.

Who knows that there is a prefect airborne above, how can he not be annoyed?

"What? The little brother had an unpleasant relationship with the prefect? Wei Ting smiled.

Zhang Yun heard someone talking, turned around, and saw a slightly thin and very shrewd man.

"There, there, how dare I have a conflict with the prefect?"

"People are four-grade masters." Although Zhang Yun didn't dare to say on the surface, his words were full of yin and yang.

After Wei Ting heard this, he smiled and did not speak.

Then, after raising the wine glass and clinking glasses with Zhang Yun, he drank it all, and his eyes were secretly skimming to the Songjiang prefect who had been secretly skimming his face with a full face of spring.

After the banquet dispersed, Zhang Yun pulled Xu Yuanchun over and asked with a smile: "Brother Xu, do you know the details of the Songjiang Prefect?" ”

"I heard that it seems that it was the second assistant Zhang Siwei who supported him, and he was able to get this position." Xu Yuanchun recalled with a straight face.

"What? What is the conflict between the virtuous brother and him? Xu Yuanchun, seeing that Zhang Yun mentioned the Songjiang prefect for no reason, hurriedly asked.

Zhang Yun smiled and shook his head: "It's not a conflict, and I also ask Brother Xu to introduce me to Songjiang Mansion." ”

Xu Yuanchun heard what Zhang Yun meant, and immediately looked for it in the banquet that had not completely dispersed.

About ten minutes later, Xu Yuanchun pulled a middle-aged man in a cyan official robe and walked over.

Zhang Yun saw that it was the man who had spoken to him before, Wei Ting.

Wei Ting smiled and said, "Little brother, I didn't expect us to meet so soon." ”

"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Wei Ting, and I am a fellow acquaintance of this Songjiang Mansion."

After hearing this, Zhang Yun secretly sighed: "Things in this world are really coincidental. ”

Then, he said with a smile: "After that, I will ask Lord Wei for more advice." ”

Wei Ting saw Zhang Yun's dissatisfaction with the Songjiang prefect and wanted to use Zhang Yun to get rid of him, why didn't Zhang Yun use him?

"The name of the prefect of Songjiang is Gu Ming, and he is the person who is now the second assistant of the cabinet, Lord Zhang Siwei, otherwise he would not have been sent to such a rich place to be the prefect." Wei Ting introduced.

Zhang Yun nodded, he knew all this.

"Then what is the weakness of this Gu Ming?"

Wei Ting chuckled: "His wife is Zhang Siwei's sister, this Gu Ming can climb Zhang Siwei, thanks to his wife, so he is also a little afraid of this wife." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and both sides knew their thoughts.
