The selection ended successfully.

Zhang Zhou did not announce the results on the spot, and immediately left the courtyard and went home.

And the people who stayed behind didn't know their respective future fates, and the four of them returned to the courtyard outside the city together, and they were all very worried in their hearts, especially the other three who almost didn't say anything except Huang Zhao.

"The lord said, you can all stay first." Aunt Lin called the four of them over, and announced the results on the spot.

The four of them didn't cheer, but they all seemed to be relieved at the same time.

Being able to stay means that you don't have to endure hardship.

And for the Huang Zhao family, she is still followed by the maid Chun Tao behind her, which is equivalent to saying that she is carrying the fate of two people, if you want to go down, she is still burdened with the burden of washing the shame of the Zhao family, and whether the Zhao family has the opportunity to recover as a civilian in the future depends on her.

"I'll take you to see the weaving workshop tomorrow, and Mingxin ......."

"Auntie, I'm here."

Ming Xin is the young girl who wants to be a female worker, and the reason why she can stay here and pass the previous selection is all because Huang Zhao is helping her behind her back.

Perhaps, in Huang Zhao's view, if you want to succeed, you need someone to help.

And a girl like Ming Xin, who doesn't seem to have much scheming and little ability, is the easiest for her to control.

As for what sisterhood is deep...... It's just a little bit of support for each other in times of crisis, but it's not so affectionate, and I can't take care of it too much when it's hard to protect myself.

"Your words today make the lord very satisfied, and the lord thinks that you are the most suitable female head of the workshop in the future, and you will work hard in the future." Aunt Lin is still very satisfied with Ming Xin.

Ming Xin was also a little confused.

I'm just saying I want to be a weaver so that I can gain the appreciation of that big man?

The eyes cast by the side were a little jealous, and one of them muttered quietly: "It's just that I have some looks like I am young." ”

When Huang Zhao heard this, she only glanced sideways at the two women next to her, she was used to the intrigue in this courtyard, and she didn't care about anything else at this time, she didn't have any jealousy in her heart, she just felt that maybe this Ming Xin was more suitable to do some simple and mechanical repetitive things.

Maybe because of this, Cai Guogong chose her.

……

……

Dead.

Zhang Zhou hasn't rested yet, and after returning home, the heating has already been laid, and it was installed in the palace before, so his family naturally has to enjoy this convenience.

Maybe the heating was a little hot, and Zhang Zhou had to open the window to breathe.

"Master, isn't it cold?"

Jiang Pingyu didn't dare to walk to the window after putting on an extra shirt and came to Zhang Zhou's side, but he helped Zhang Zhou tidy up his clothes a little.

Zhang Zhou said: "This is cool, and my mind can be clearer and think about something." Let's go to sleep first. ”

Jiang Pingyu glanced back and asked, "What ......?"

"Let Yi'er and Mingshan go back too, and let someone bring me a cup of tea, maybe I have to read it at night." Zhang Zhoudao.

Jiang Pingyu said: "The master is running around so much every day, and after he comes back, he has to take care of the affairs of the family and the country, can't he let himself rest more?" Your body matters! ”

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "It's different from before, I used to study, now I want to settle the country, and now the northwest is still fighting, don't look at me in Beijing, but I need to arrange a lot of things." If it is two years from now, I may have to personally lead the troops, and many things are not up to me. ”

"Old man......"

Liu Gui's loud shout came from the front yard: "Father-in-law Yang is here!" ”

"Which Yang Gonggong?" Jiang Pingyu was also a little curious.

Usually what is Xiao Gonggong and Li Gonggong came, but now it has become Yang Gonggong.

"It's Yang Peng, I already saw him once in the old house the day before yesterday, this time he came to visit late at night, most of it is related to His Majesty's instructions, the war situation in the northwest is tight, and I can't slack off." Madame, go and rest first, and if you are not in a hurry to sleep, you can wait for me to come back. Oh, what time has it been! It's better to rest early. ”

"Hmm."

Jiang Pingyu hurriedly brought over the heavy clothes and helped Zhang Zhou tidy up his clothes.

……

……

When Zhang Zhou arrived in the front yard, Yang Peng was already waiting respectfully.

"Sir, someone has come to thank you." Yang Peng said with a smile.

"What do you call that? What to thank or not thank, if you are coming in a private capacity, you should also know that this is a violation of the rules, please respect yourself, Yang Gonggong. Zhang Zhoudao.

Yang Peng still said with a smiling face: "I still came by the emperor's order, Your Majesty has a decree, saying that it is the matter of Jingying in the future, everything must obey Mr. You, you see what you want, someone must obey it." First of all, it is winter procurement and other things, you see......"

"Huh."

Zhang Zhou couldn't help but smile.

Now Zhang Mao is not in Beijing, and Yang Peng, as the admiral eunuch, is about to take over the military power of the Beijing camp.

When Yang Peng got the emperor's will, the first thing he thought of was how to tie up with Zhang Zhou.

In the past, Zhang Mao was able to fish for oil and water, and Yang Peng naturally wanted to send it to Zhang Zhou as it was...... In the past, Zhang Mao was already harsh like that, and the emperor knew what to do with him, but now if Zhang Zhou is the person in charge, the emperor will not care.

In this way, he Yang Peng can borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and even earn some for himself.

"Haven't all the procurement things been arranged?" Zhang Zhou asked.

Yang Peng said: "But those are ...... How so? It's all the old people, and it's time to change it! In addition, I heard that Shou Ninghou also wants to meddle in this matter, and recently Shou Ninghou is also inquiring about related matters, he seems to have mentioned it to the queen, and in the future, he wants to take over the matter of part of the supply of Jingying to his side. ”

Zhang Zhou asked, "Will Your Majesty agree?" ”

"This ...... It's hard to say. Yang Peng said, "But even if Shou Ninghou takes over, at most he can only eat a small part of the business, and at present, Jin merchants and Hui merchants are also competing for business related to the supply of Beijing, and they are all trying to find a way to get along, and there is also a ...... to find someone."

As soon as Yang Peng took office, the wind had just begun to blow, and someone had already smelled the direction of the wind along the smell.

Those eunuchs in Beijing have always been well-informed, and they knew that Yang Peng was appointed as the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch and directly took over the Beijing camp, and immediately began to give gifts to Yang Peng.

Zhang Zhoudao: "You know, I've always been not keen on receiving gifts or anything. ”

Yang Peng smiled: "But Your Majesty will still give you the imperial gift." Tomorrow morning, someone will bring another batch over, that is Your Majesty's reward to you, and Your Majesty also said that you must let someone come in person, so as to show the difference between dignity and inferiority. ”

"Father-in-law Yang, don't say that, we are all cooperative."

"Yes, yes, but the will of God must not be violated."

Zhang Zhou nodded and said: "If it's the businessman's side, it's up to Gonggong Yang to take care of it, the soldiers in Beijing also want to spend the winter well, and they don't want to live a hard life, if this year is no different from the past, what do you think they will do?" ”

"Understand, let them remember that you are good, sir, this is easy to do, just a little favor can be done...... Someone got it. ”

Yang Peng looked old-fashioned and serious, as if he understood the Tao very well.

That is to let the soldiers get a little sweetness, so that they realize that it is much better to follow Zhang Zhouming than to follow Zhang Maoming.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Gonggong Yang, you may still not understand, Your Majesty asked me to assist in the errand of the Beijing camp as the secretary of the military department, not as Cai Guogong." In the future, this garrison lord may still be an English duke, and he will only make a temporary trip to the far house. ”

"Huh?"

Yang Peng was a little puzzled.

The emperor has already put so much effort into ruining Zhang Mao's reputation, and transferring him to the northwest to lead the troops, and even waiting for him to be defeated to see him do a good show......

That's it, just let Zhang Mao go through the motions and come back to continue to be his commander Jingying Lord?

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to make sense.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Do you want to be like some people, watching me fight with the British public?" ”

Yang Peng seemed to understand something, and he said: "Your Majesty and Mr. are thoughtful, and someone is not as good as what if." Somebody understands that everything has to be done step by step, right? ”

"Don't take it lightly." Zhang Zhoudao.

"Understand, understand, someone only needs to do the things at hand, as for who will take the matter of the Beijing camp in the future, how His Majesty will arrange it, how someone can do it, someone only knows that in the future in the affairs of the Beijing camp, just come to ask for advice and learn from you, sir."

Yang Peng also seems to know some rules.

If you don't understand it, don't participate blindly.

No matter how the emperor plans to deal with Zhang Mao in the future, whether he will continue to pay attention to it, or gradually replace Zhang Mao, it is a matter for the decision-making level.

He Yang Peng seems to be a decision-making level, but in fact he is just an executive level, all he has to do is listen to the orders of the emperor and Zhang Zhou.

……

……

Northwest.

Zhang Mao led the troops to set off from the side pass and rushed all the way to the direction of Yansui.

For him, the body is no longer able to bear it.

After camping in the evening, he saw the blisters on the soles of his feet when he washed his feet, and he also screamed sadly.

"Father!"

At this time, Zhang Rui came in from outside the tent.

"No courtesy, come in without reporting?" Zhang Mao glared at his son.

Zhang Rui hurriedly said: "Father, I just learned that Your Majesty ordered to go to Yansui and let Wang Zhongcheng, the general system of the three sides, lead the troops to attack, and we seem to be ...... Left behind. ”

"What? Oops...... Oops......"

Zhang Mao was excited and stood up directly from the basin.

But I forgot that the blisters on the soles of my feet had been punctured by myself, and they were hurting.

Zhang Mao stood there, he didn't return to his hometown for a long time, and he was a little confused.

"Father?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Let the father be quiet. ”

Zhang Mao thought for a moment, and finally seemed to have a clear idea, and said, "You mean, in addition to sending us this way, Your Majesty also asked Yansui to send troops?" Where did it go? ”

Zhang Rui said: "At present, I only know the order, and I don't know where to send troops." ”

Zhang Mao took a breath and said: "This is not good, it will be the same as Zhu Dongyang last time, no matter what he does, it is a mistake, and now His Majesty obviously does not pin all his hopes on us." Just reporting that credit is not enough to smooth out the fault. ”

Zhang Rui said: "Then father, should we march at night?" ”

"For the Father...... Alas! ”

Zhang Mao wanted to take two steps, but in addition to the pain under his feet, he found that his legs were also a little disobedient.

In the past few days, in addition to walking, he is riding a horse, and his body is indeed very unbearable.

"Father, if you don't know what to do, you can ride in the carriage. There are still wagons in the army that carry grain and grass, and one is vacant for you to ...... You can take a break on the road. Zhang Rui also seemed to know that his father was not very supportive.

Zhang Mao said: "Isn't there a bump in the carriage? Find a few soft cloths for the old man, the softer and thicker the better...... In the past few days, my body and bones are about to fall apart! This is still far from Ningxia. ”

The saddest thing for Zhang Mao is that after starting from the partial pass, there is still a long way to go from his destination Ningxia.

According to the current speed of travel, I am afraid that it will take ten days and half a month to arrive, and if I continue to toss like this, I am likely to be in the northwest.

"That strange king Weining I was brave, and in the end he ended up with a bad death, it's really ...... It's bitter. Zhang Mao sighed.

Zhang Rui said: "Father, when I heard that Wei Ninghou died, he was all smiling. ”

Zhang Mao glared at his son and said, "That's because he got the knighthood, and his pursuit is different from you and me." He himself suffered, did he not know it? Do you want the old man to be planted here? ”

Zhang Rui hurriedly took a cloth to wipe his father's feet, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

……

……

The war in the northwest fell into calm again for a while.

There was no new news from the DPRK and China for several days, and everything seemed to stop at Zhang Mao's good news outside the border pass, and even the Chinese officials of the DPRK could not help but praise Zhang Mao twice.

Live to a green old age.

is old and strong, and it is even more old and ambitious...... Or maybe they feel that with Zhang Mao here, the Tatars will be afraid of three points and dare not violate the border.

Of course, this is just casual talk, and the purpose of the civil officials is to make the people of Zhang Mao's faction feel that the civil officials are on their side, so that Zhang Mao feels that there is the support of the civil officials behind him...... In disguise, provoke internal discord between Wu Xun.

On this day, Zhang Zhou entered the palace in the afternoon, first went to give Zhu Houzhao a lesson for an hour, and did not teach much things, more chatting, and then was invited to Xinuan Pavilion.

"Bingkuan, the girl of the Cui family, have you seen it? But like it? ”

Zhu Youzhu came up and asked Zhang Zhou about Cui Yuan's sister.

This is also to tell Zhang Zhou that Cui Yuan is about to go to the capital, and her sister Princess Yongkang is urging her husband to arrange a good errand.

So no matter how picky Zhu Youzhu is about his sister, he will also test Zhang Zhou's attitude.

"People have seen it, but they are ......" Zhang Zhou couldn't say.

A little girl who hasn't grown up, at best, is an ignorant girl, she doesn't understand anything about marriage, she doesn't know anything about love and feelings, it's like a blank piece of paper, Zhang Zhou feels that she shouldn't be the one who writes and paints.

Zhu Youzhu said: "What do you say?" ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "Your Majesty, what do you say?" It's okay to be human, it's just ...... It's not a good match, the age gap is there, and she doesn't understand anything yet. ”

"Bingkuan, you are like this, you think too much about others, you don't want to think about it, she can enter your door, it is also an honor for her, isn't it? The marriage of two families needs to be like this. How else? If it weren't for the fact that my sisters would have been married...... Ahem, I didn't say it. ”

Even Zhu Youzhu would talk casually in front of Zhang Zhou, and then take it back halfway.

also shows that Zhu Youzhu did not treat Zhang Zhou as an outsider.

"Maoren is going to Beijing in the next two days, I am temporarily going to let him go to Beijing to do things, if he wants to be promoted, then he must marry you. If you don't think it's worth cultivating, then put it aside first...... It's all up to you. (End of chapter)
