Chapter Ninety-Four: Jealousy

"The British public is too polite, find someone to inform you of such a thing, and you will come to the door in the next meeting, why bother to run it yourself?"

Zhang Mao had a deep smile on his face.

If you are notified, you will go, and the old man will kick the second boy of Chengguo out of the door with a kick?

"Come in!"

Zhang Mao greeted behind him.

Eleven, twelve-and-a-half-year-olds appeared at the door.

"My grandson, named Zhang Lun. Grandson, why don't you come to thank Mr. Zhang Zhouzhang for your father's treatment? Zhang Mao said to the kid.

The young man took a few steps forward, knelt head-on, and bowed to the ground: "Zhang Lun thanks Mr. Zhang for his kindness in treating his father's illness." ”

Zhang Zhou and Zhu Feng glanced at each other, as if they didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Zhang Mao's gourd.

Even Zhu Feng was thinking.

Thank you for saving your son, don't give gifts, let your grandson kowtow...... You old man Zhang is really picky.

"Wrong." Zhang Zhoudao, "The British duke, who treated Ling Lang, was Zhu Zhijie, the second son of the Chengguo Mansion. When will there be a credit for the following? ”

Zhang Mao smiled and said, "Zhang Lun, get up and give you Brother Zhu a salute and thank you." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Lun got up and hugged Zhu Feng without saying a kind word.

Zhang Zhou looked at Zhang Lun, a sunny and handsome boy, who was only half a head shorter than his grandfather when he was still in adolescence, and he must be tall and handsome in the future, with a bright future.

But it's also a small snob.

There are ancestors, and there are grandchildren.

However, it also made Zhang Zhou see that the children of the Guogong family are very competitive and competitive, probably there are so many military positions, and they are all fighting openly and secretly, and no one is convinced.

"Bingkuan, the eldest grandson of the old man, has always been both civil and military, but he has learned martial arts well, and his literary aspects are ...... I have invited a famous teacher, but the progress is also slow. Alas! Old man, I didn't hear that Bingkuan, you are Jiangnan Xie Yuan, and you are famous, so I specially want him to worship you as a teacher. Zhang Mao said earnestly.

Zhang Zhou's ears are bright and clear-sighted, and he can see through it at a glance.

This is knowing that he is now deeply favored by the emperor, and he is changing his way to let his grandson lean towards him, so that Zhang Lun may be able to get another look from the emperor.

The methods of this group of powerful people are more surprising than the other.

"The British public forgives me, although it is Jiangnan Jieyuan, but he is only shallow in learning, and he is really powerless about the matter of apprenticeship." Zhang Zhou resigned.

Zhang Mao smiled and said: "The old man heard that His Majesty sent you a lot of errands, how is Qingning Palace repaired?" Do you want the old man to help? ”

Zhang Zhou secretly thought, should I say I need it or don't say I don't?

No matter how Yang Peng is not a thing, at least he dares to pat his chest and pack a ticket, and you are just making empty promises, who believes in you is stupid!

Zhu Feng said: "Brother Zhang, he still has to prepare for the exam." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, just put up a name first, and wait for Bingkuan to accept this disciple after you pass the Jinshi exam, it's too late! Ha ha. Zhang Mao then waved his hand again, and someone from the British Mansion came in carrying things behind him.

A box with some cloth, the cloth is not silk, just ordinary muslin, plus the tea and other things contained in the box, it is good to have twenty or thirty taels of silver.

No better than not knowing.

Zhang Zhouxin said, even the second son of the Zhu family that you look down on is not as good.

"Grandson, you learn from Mr. Zhang, by the way, Mr. Zhang, do you have any good cure for dog disease, just give it to my grandson, the old man still has the affairs of the Governor's Mansion to do, so I will leave first." Nephew, we'll see you next time. ”

Zhang Maoming knew that Zhu Feng didn't want to deal with him, so he still talked to Zhu Feng.

When leaving, he specially left Zhang Lun and two servants, which means that Zhang Lun can go back after seeking the "true scripture" here in Zhang Zhou.

The meaning of the philistine is overflowing.

……

……

Zhang Mao is gone.

There were three people left in the yard, and it was embarrassing.

Even Zhang Lun felt that he didn't seem to appear on the right occasion, because the two people in front of him didn't know what to say to him.

Zhang Zhou knew very well that Zhang Mao could take the initiative to come, which was already very face-saving.

No matter how favored he is, there is still an essential gap between him and the Duke of Daming.

"Ling Zun's illness, I can't do anything, I'm sorry." Zhang Zhou said, "Come on, send off!" ”

Jia Laoshui, who had been recruited earlier, came over and wanted to send Zhang Lun out.

Zhang Lun said with a look of grievance: "Don't." If I go back like this, my grandfather will definitely punish me. ”

Zhu Feng smiled: "Is the British Duke so strict with you?" ”

I heard that Zhang Lun would also be punished by Old Man Zhang, Zhu Feng balanced his heart a little, and said that the British public army was strict, maybe he paid more attention to corporal punishment education, and it was for my good to kick me?

"Hmm." Zhang Lun was always just an eleven or twelve-year-old child, and nodded sincerely, "Sometimes they don't let me enter the house, sometimes they beat me with a military stick, and sometimes they punish me for not eating, even Zuntang didn't do this to me." ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "That's your grandfather's high expectations for you, the eldest grandson of the Guogong family, and he has a heavy burden on his shoulders in the future." In this way, you go back and tell your grandfather, and say that I have made another recipe and asked Ling Zun to eat it in a different way, and you are tired of eating those things, right? ”

"Recipe?" Zhang Lun obviously couldn't keep up with Zhang Zhou's train of thought.

Zhu Feng had an opinion, and pulled Zhang Zhou aside: "Brother Zhang, the Zhang family treats you like this, do you care?" ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "If you look up, you won't see you when you look down, and besides, people have given gifts...... How 'heavy'? Why don't you just write a recipe? ”

"Humph!" Zhu Feng looked heartless, but he remembered Zhang Mao's revenge to death.

"Zhang Lun, I'll write down the recipe, and you can take it back to your family."

"Good!"

Zhang Lun was about to enter the house with Zhang Zhou, but was glared at coldly by Zhu Feng, Zhang Lun seemed to be afraid that Zhu Feng would come with him, so he had to stand obediently in the courtyard.

"Half-grown child, as for it?"

"If he kicks me, he still wants to arrange his grandson to be by your side, what are you doing? Grab the credit? ”

Zhang Zhou looked at Zhu Feng with the eyes of "So you think so".

Not long after Zhu Feng followed him, he changed from a gentleman to a capable person in the eyes of the emperor, Zhang Mao saw that it was profitable, and of course rushed to send people to him.

As soon as this example is opened, it is estimated that other nobles will follow suit......

The Ming Dynasty can have thousands of ministers, but the ministers who are trusted by the emperor are also the old ministers, and those people will not accept apprentices easily, and they don't give him a student as a student, and the benefits of being a student are not as fast as for him.

Feelings: Old man Zhang is doing business...... Odd goods?

Zhang Zhou's temperament is similar to Zhang Mao's, and he instantly pondered the old man Zhang's flowery intestines thoroughly.

Zhu Feng said: "Brother Zhang, can you write him a recipe and write a reply to Miss Lin Er?" ”

"Write what?"

"Anything, let me have an explanation."

"Well, I'll tell her, I am concerned about the safety of the Ming Dynasty, I can't sleep at night for the major events of the court, and I often can't suppress my tears when I encounter the great disasters ......of my family and country, and I can't wait to get the title of the gold list as soon as possible, and I can't share the worries of the world as soon as possible."

"Can you write something else?"

"I write that you are interested in her?"

"Don't, Brother Zhang, you still want to write whatever you want, I don't want to read it, I just need an explanation!"

……

……

Zhang Zhou found that if he wanted to enter the palace as a monk, he had to deal with these bad things outside the palace first.

He wrote a reply to Lin Yi, and the words were reversed and said that there was no nutrition at all, but Zhu Feng cherished the letter very much, and he really thought that Zhu Feng was going to rely on his letter to make a girl.

Zhang Lun also successfully got the "prescription" he wanted, and went home to find Zhang Mao on an errand.

Zhang Zhou himself had to work overnight, selecting suitable materials from tens of thousands of pieces of glass to assemble the telescope in three days.

These lenses are also produced to a certain specification, but without ready-made technology, flat glass cannot be made, let alone make concave lenses and convex lenses, and they have been very careful when firing, but the defective rate is nearly nine out of nine.

On the afternoon of the deadline, Zhang Zhou still sent twenty telescopes to the palace as promised.

Zhu Youzhi personally received Zhang Zhou, and after seeing the finished product, he was happy.

"Bingkuan, hard work! I have prepared some rewards for you to send to your house. ”

Hearing that there was a gift from the emperor, Zhang Zhou's spirit rose.

Doing things for Zhu Youji, there are really a lot of rewards.

"Your Majesty, the minister is preparing to prepare for the exam attentively, can you arrange to see the prince?" Since Zhang Zhou has received the reward, he should also do something serious.

Go and give the prince a private lesson.

Zhu Youzhu asked, "You won't rest for a few more days?" ”

"Not necessarily!"

"Okay, this will let people send you to the East Palace, books or something, whether it is a palace collection, or a collection of the Hanlin Academy, I will ask someone to give you a bibliography, you can make a list and ......"

Zhang Zhouxin said, sure enough, it is not in vain to give your son as a companion.

This treatment ...... Gee.

Leveraged.

With so many people, who has such treatment as me, not to mention preparing for exams in the palace, but also seeing the palace collection? If you fail the exam again, you will have no shame to see Jiangdong's father.

……

……

Zhang left on Monday.

Zhu Youzhu is still playing with those telescopes, not checking, purely for fun.

Adult men also have playful sex.

It's just that Zhu Youzhu usually disguises himself well in front of outsiders, and from childhood to adulthood, no one gives him a chance to play, and his personality is suppressed.

"Your Majesty, are these things going to be sent to the northwest immediately?" Dai Yi asked for instructions.

"Hmm."

Zhu Youzhu nodded, "Together with the previous one, twenty-one, send fast horses to the border towns as soon as possible, but you have to tell the people who sent the post that this thing is easy to break and cannot fall to the ground." ”

"Yes." Dai Yi took out another note, "Your Majesty, here is a list of recommended candidates for promotion to bachelor's degree, which will be discussed tomorrow, do you want to take a look?" ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Youzhu picked up the song and looked at the list of recommendations above.

Yang Tinghe, Wang Hua, Liu Ji, Wang Wei, Jiang Lan, Zhang Qi, Wu Wei and others are listed.

"Is that all there is to them?" Zhu Youzhu asked.

Dai Yidao: "There are also people who propose to let Zhang Yuanzhen, a bachelor in the Nanjing South Pavilion, transfer to the North Pavilion." ”

Zhu Youzhu shook his head and said, "No need, just Wang Jizhi." ”

Dai Yi was stunned.

Now I just give you a list to see, so that you know in your heart, and as a result, you are directly sure that Wang Wei will be promoted to a bachelor's degree, will it ...... A little too sloppy?

Zhu Youzhu said: "Wang Wei's ability to govern affairs may be insufficient, but when he lectures in the East Palace, his talent is very good, and he is enough to lead the things that are talked about on the feast day." In addition, he also selected talents for me in the Jiangnan Science Field, isn't the selection of talents also a reflection of ability? Just him. ”

Dai Yi understood.

Now anyone who is involved with Zhang Zhou can get benefits, and Wang Wei is also being promoted because of this.

Others are desperately hoping to be taken care of by officialdom, but now it is the opposite.

……

……

Inside the Kunning Palace.

Zhu Youzhi had dinner with his wife, and then naturally wanted to practice.

“…… Queen, don't you know, I have used Bingkuan's medicine, and I feel refreshed these days, and I can even eat a lot more, but the kind of goat milk that Bingkuan asked me to drink, I really can't drink it. ”

In Daming, there are no cows, and those who drink milk also drink goat's milk.

But goat's milk is ...... The taste is still a little weird, Zhu Youzhu is weak and not suitable for drinking this thing at all, so he can only drink a little every time, even if he adds condiments to it, it will not help.

Empress Zhang frowned.

She seemed to feel a little weird, because her husband had been mentioning Zhang Zhou more and more recently.

"Your Majesty, you seem to be different from before."

"Really?" Zhu Youzhu was curious, "What's the difference?" ”

Empress Zhang thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I can't say it, but it seems to be ...... More talking. ”

Zhu Youzhu was stunned and thought about it, as his wife said, he didn't seem to be as afraid of seeing people as before, because whenever he chatted with Zhang Zhou a lot, he would be brought into the rhythm of Zhang Zhou's speech, which was a state of being casual and unrestrained.

"Queen, let's not talk about this for now, let's rest early."

Zhu Youzhu was about to go over and pull the queen in the direction of the phoenix couch.

Empress Zhang said: "It's still early, I haven't seen the prince in the past two days, and I miss it a little, Your Majesty might as well let him come out from time to time, it shouldn't affect his schoolwork." ”

"No way!"

This time, Zhu Youji's attitude was very resolute, "If I decide what is good, it will not change easily, this is responsible for the prince." You don't have to plead for him, Queen. ”

Empress Zhang was even more puzzled in her heart.

Because no matter what she said before, even if her husband didn't want to agree, he always used a negotiation tone to ask her to give up.

"I also sent Bingkuan to teach him day and night, with Bingkuan's ability is enough to teach him well, as long as he finishes learning the meaning of the four books and passes the assessment, he should be able to come out in about a month! With Bingkuan here, I don't even have to test him personally. ”

Zhu Youzhi calculated Zhu Houzhao's learning progress.

This time, I plan to lock up my son for a month.

Empress Zhang was already in a bad mood, so when she heard this, she started a little temper: "Your Majesty, now that you mention that Zhang Bingkuan in everything, what kind of medicine did he give you?" Shouldn't Your Majesty pay attention to your family? What is that Zhang Bingkuan? ”

When the wife is jealous.

Zhu Youzhu thought for a while and said puzzledly: "Bingkuan is dedicated to the Ming court, and also for me and you can spread the branches for the royal family earlier, why would the queen have an opinion on him?" ”

"The concubine doesn't care, the concubine wants His Majesty to promise to see him less in the future!"

Empress Zhang also knew that she couldn't go too far, and it was unrealistic to directly block the emperor from seeing Zhang Zhou.

Zhu Youzhu said: "No! ”

"Your Majesty......"

"Don't say that Bingkuan didn't do anything wrong, even if he did wrong, he should judge impartially, I don't understand what is wrong with a person who is dedicated to me and you? In this way, I also have some things to do today, so I won't stay in Kunning Palace! ”

"Your Majesty?"

Empress Zhang thought she had misheard.

has always driven Zhu Youzhu away by herself, but this time it was Zhu Youzhu who took the initiative to throw her face?

"Swing, Qianqing Palace!"

Zhu Youzhu didn't say it, he really left.

"Queen Mother, the deer blood wine prepared earlier ......"

"All out! No one wants to see this shrine today! ”

Empress Zhang was jealous, but she could only sulk.
