Chapter 249 New Year's greetings and cheating marriage
"New Year's greetings to Teacher! New Year's greetings to Patriarch Ge! Happy New Year and good luck!" This is Lu Sanlang, who does not seek merit but seeks no faults. With his plump figure, when he bends down to salute happily, the fat on his body seems to be still there.
Shake and shake.
"Master Ge has a long life, and his life span is as long as Nanshan! The teacher will rise to the top, and many children will bring blessings..." This was Zhu Er who thought he could talk. As he spoke, he secretly lamented that Zhu Ying originally wanted to disguise himself as a man and follow him.
As a result, he was dragged into the palace by the dowager to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother and the Emperor. So before leaving, she desperately told him to say more auspicious words to win favor today - he felt that he had done enough to win favor.
"I wish Teacher and Master Ge a blessing like the East China Sea!" It was Zhang Chen who turned New Year's greetings into birthday wishes without thinking. Moreover, he looked around while saying this, and a group of younger brothers followed him and shouted, which was very interesting.
momentum.
Listening to this messy sound, I saw Zhang Chen, Lu Sanlang and others pushing aside the middle-aged and elderly officials who had also come to pay Ge Yong New Year greetings today, and surrounded them in a noisy manner, saying all kinds of auspicious words.
Zhang Shou, who helped Ge Yong into the house, simply didn't know what to say, and it couldn't dampen their enthusiasm: "Okay, I'll come here to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, I guess you are considerate!"
After he helped Ge Yong to sit down on the imperial chair in the center, he turned around and pointed his fingers at the leaders.
"But did you all make an appointment a long time ago? And all of you are here? It's a good thing to respect your teachers, but look at yourselves, you just swarmed up like this, you don't even know how to respect your elders, and you didn't even give in.
Some seniors!"
Today, it is not only a group of students from Banshan Hall, but also a large group of people from Jiuzhang Hall. There is no doubt that Zhang Chen, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu went to convene one side, and Lu Sanlang and Qi Liang discussed it on the other side.
They were notified long before the holiday, and Deng Xiaodai, who returned to his hometown for the New Year last night and hurriedly rushed to Beijing early in the morning, is still young, forming a sharp contrast with several middle-aged and elderly officials.
At this time, they heard Zhang Shou scolding the students, and saw Zhang Chen and others suddenly realized that they all turned around and saluted and apologized to them. Although several senior officials had already felt strange just now, they now found that a group of dandies actually
They are also so polite, and they still feel that they have refreshed their usual understanding.
Although there were only twenty or thirty people coming to the Banshan Hall among the hundreds of people, Jiuzhang Hall seemed to have a lot of people coming, but they knew that the backgrounds of the two halls of the Imperial College were very different, so it was really extraordinary that so many people came to pay New Year's greetings.
It’s rare. If you don’t believe it, look at other Guozi doctors. Who can have dozens of students paying New Year greetings? If you remember to post a post, you are already very considerate, and you still expect them to visit in person?
At that moment, Zhang Huaili, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who had a rivalry with Zhang Shou and who had "passed out" in front of the emperor, resigned "due to illness". Chen Shang, who had just been reinstated as the Minister of the Ministry of Finance by Ding Youqi, smiled as a representative
Opened his mouth.
"Junior brother, you are serious. We are too happy to see so many juniors coming to pay New Year's greetings to our teacher. Besides, they swarmed up to greet our teacher and you. What else do we have to care about? Teacher has always been the most lively, but it's a pity that
Our families are desolate, and when we came to pay New Year's greetings, we couldn't dress up in colorful clothes to entertain our relatives, and we couldn't entertain the teacher."
Ge Yong did not hide his happiness and pride at all, and said with a smile: "Zizhen, do you still dare to say that Cai Yiyu kisses you guys and knows how to act? But you finally returned to Beijing. Zhang Shou is a naughty boy. Today I
When I took him to see Lao Chu, he didn’t even help me, the teacher, to count the solar eclipses. He was not as good as you! By the way, you are also the senior of these boys, so you should give more advice to them in calculating the sutras."
Asking the dignified Minister of Household Affairs to instruct a group of supervisors to calculate scriptures? Zhang Shou thought that Teacher Ge just said it, so he just listened casually. However, when he really saw Chen Shang's grimace, he actually
When he agreed, he was a little surprised.
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance seems to be really submissive to the teacher Ge Yong. No wonder Zhu Ying said that being pulled by Ge Yong once was nothing, and it almost delayed her going to court!
But he soon had no time to think about this, because Ge Yong immediately left his disciples and grandchildren aside and took him to introduce him one by one to the middle-aged and elderly officials headed by Chen Shang.
From Chen Shang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, there are Taichang Shaoqing, someone who has just returned from serving as the Censor of Youdu and Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou to report on his duties, and the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Punishment... They are all of the third and fourth grades, which is quite consistent with their age.
However, the young people who were pushed aside did not complain at all. The words "Ge Jie's disciple and Sun" were so loud that they could not be heard any louder. And with such a halo attached to them, Guijie's disciples could hold their heads high at home.
The poor supervisors have never experienced the feeling of being bullied. At this time, they can still see several seniors who are considered to be powerful figures in the court. Who doesn't want to become familiar with them?
Furthermore, according to the kind of person their young gentleman Zhang Shou was, how could he forget about them if something good happened?
Sure enough, after Ge Yong took Zhang Shou to meet Chen Shang and other senior brothers one by one, Zhang Shou also began to fulfill his duties as a teacher and introduced the students to everyone one by one. Of course, Ge Yong had only
To introduce him alone, but there were a lot of students at the moment, he could only speak concisely and comprehensively, trying to use the most accurate description to summarize everyone in a few words.
"Brothers, this is Lu Sanlang, Lu Zhu, the son of Jiuzhangtang Zhai Chief, Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of War. He is extremely talented in arithmetic. He has taught himself more than half of Jiuzhang arithmetic since he was a child. Now he has learned it all. I have learned from him.
In a word, people should not be judged by their appearance."
"This is Zhang Chen, the son of the Duke of Qin, and the chief of Banshan Hall. He is a man who is eager for justice and very responsible. He was the one who uncovered the Linhai Camp fraud case, and he was almost targeted by the traitors for revenge.
Most of the students in Banshan Hall were gathered by him with Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu... Oh, this is the future Princess Deyang's consort Zhang Wu, he has a simple and kind personality..."
"This is Qi Liang and Deng Ai, my disciples from Rongshui Village. Although they are from poor backgrounds, they are eager to learn. What's even more rare is that they are quite talented in arithmetic. Now one is the right-hand man of King Dayin of Shuntian Prefecture, and the other has passed the imperial examination.
Seventh, he is helping to lead his junior brothers in Jiuzhang Hall. Xiao Deng is a bit dull, so I often call him Xiao Dai, while Xiao Qi never likes to argue with others..."
Zhang Shou commented one by one. Whether it was Zhang Chen, Lu Sanlang, Zhang Wu, Zhang Lu, or Zhu Er Qiliang, everyone felt that their evaluation was quite fair - he never expected that Zhang Shou only praised them, almost
Not to mention the shortcomings.
And Zhang Shou did not favor one over the other. When introducing others one by one, he also only talked about the advantages and not the shortcomings - after all, in such an occasion where other elders were present, if he, the teacher, said that his students were not good, then he would
Too much!
It's the same as parents scolding their children in front of others...
Ge Yong waited patiently with a smile until Zhang Shou finished introducing everyone, then he clapped his hands and drew everyone's attention back to himself: "It's the New Year's Eve today, I guessed that my place might be lively.
But I didn't expect so many people to come. But just in time, I got up early and sent a note to Tingyu Xiaozhu, and Twelve Rains should be here soon."
Everyone present felt that they had understood what it means to be shocked. But at this moment, when they heard Mr. Ge speak to Tingyu Xiaozhu and Twelve Rains in such a calm tone, they all fell into a state of aphasia. Only Zhang Shouyin was early
I heard Ge Yong say that he acted calmly at this time, and he also remembered the rumors that Zhu Ying had mentioned to him as a joke.
"When Grandpa Ge was young, he was handsome and handsome. I heard that countless famous prostitutes in the capital wanted to serve him on pillow mats and only asked him to leave a poem and a half. But Grandpa Ge passed through thousands of flowers without a single leaf touching his body.
…”
Therefore, without waiting for others to react, he immediately asked: "What is the teacher going to let them do?"
Seeing that Zhang Shou not only refused to persuade, but also asked what Ge Yong was playing, Chen Shang suddenly felt a headache and wanted to warn Zhang Shou that you are almost becoming the Zhu family's son-in-law, so you should pay attention to your image. But when you catch a glimpse of Zhu
Er Zheng was beaming with joy next to him, and he suddenly had an even more headache. Come on, Erlang of the Zhu family is here, so he shouldn't worry about it!
It is the New Year's Day in the Shuntian Mansion Office. It was supposed to be a holiday for the officials and the clerks to take a rest and enjoy the rare holiday time. However, because of the sudden complaints yesterday, many people had no choice but to give up their rest and come to the government office at any time.
Listen to Wang Jie's instructions. Even if no one dares to complain in front of the Iron-faced Mansion's Yin Wang Datou, everyone is complaining behind his back.
You can't scold Wang Jie, the ones you scold are naturally the censors!
However, at this time, no one dared to stop in front of the second hall, not because Wang Jie was showing off his bad face again, but because there was a bored little aunt with a face looking for trouble. A young guard was far away.
After looking around for a moment, he immediately retracted his head and said to the old guard next to him with a bitter look on his face: "Isn't this lady really here because of the things yesterday and today?"
"How could it not be? Those righteous censors thought that no one else knew what they were planning? They would go find a group of people to file a complaint, and then prove that the accusations were false. Then today, a basin of dirty water would be poured on Zhao Guogong.
Do you think everyone in the house is an idiot? Those guys are so aggressive, it’s surprising that this aunt can be so angry!"
The old servant who spoke took a sneak peek over there, with a hint of suspicion on his face: "Your Majesty is probably here to help Duke Zhao, otherwise he wouldn't have sent the eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies to accompany Miss Zhu to see our Wang Dayin.
.But the one who went in, Miss Zhu personally stayed outside, what's going on? It doesn't make sense!"
The young officer coughed lightly and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed someone running towards him like a gust of wind from the second gate. His face was full of anger and he was holding something in his hand. Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years.
Suddenly his heart skipped a beat. When someone rushed to him, he recognized that it was the uncle of Deng Xiaodai, the household administrator. He immediately asked: "What, something happened again?"
He really hoped to hear a negative answer, but Uncle Deng said with a grimace: "It's not that something happened, it's something serious! Someone threw a notice into our Shuntian government office, and the superiors actually said... actually said..."
Because of his uneven breathing, he couldn't understand what he said for a long time. The two officers were almost mad at him and anxious to death. However, he was a veteran in this government office and had a promising nephew. They
They didn't dare to rush. But at this moment, they only heard a voice from behind: "Show me this post!"
Uncle Deng's eyes were just dazed, and someone snatched the post in his hand. Just when he was about to get angry, he saw clearly the beautiful figure wearing a red crane cloak in front of him. He immediately shut his mouth, but did not dare to say a word.
.How dare he offend Zhu Ying!
Zhu Ying had long noticed that someone was peeping at her. However, this had been a common situation for her since she was a child, so she was not surprised at all and just pretended not to see it. However, she found that someone seemed to be coming outside, and then a few people seemed to
As she muttered there, she couldn't help it anymore after she deliberately stayed outside and was too lazy to see Wang Jie.
She came here to convey the newly appointed Lu Chan to Yin Wangjie of Shuntian Prefecture. She wanted to see if Deng Xiaodai was there and give him a message. Now that I heard that he had returned to his hometown for the New Year, he should go to Ge Mansion to pay New Year greetings today.
She had long wanted to leave. She knew very well that no matter how talented Wang Jie was, he would never be able to solve these messy cases before he took office immediately after the New Year.
Therefore, she doesn't want to put pressure on others anymore... This Shuntian Prefect has already taken the blame for enough in the past six months!
Not putting pressure on Wang Jie doesn't mean that Zhu Ying doesn't care about anything. At this moment, she quietly walked around and grabbed the post with her hands. When she opened it and saw the first words, her expression immediately changed.
In anger, she subconsciously raised her hand high and wanted to smash the post directly to the ground, but in the end she stopped abruptly and sneered angrily.
"You are suing me and Ah Shou for not having a marriage certificate at all, and saying that I, the Duke of Zhao, are cheating on us in getting married? It's a joke!"
As soon as these words came out, the two officers fell silent, and even Uncle Deng was shocked. Seeing Zhu Ying holding the sticker in her hand, she turned around and strode towards the second hall. He hesitated slightly, and finally gave chase, but when
After the person entered the second hall, he did not dare to follow him casually and could only wait outside the door.
After a while, he saw the thick door curtain move, and then the expressionless face of his master Yin appeared in front of him. He was always afraid of the cold face, and he quickly lowered his head.
, the next moment, he just listened to Wang Jie's instructions: "Since you are here, then go to the house to check and see if the old marriage certificate of Zhao Guogong's mansion is there."
Uncle Deng had known for a long time that he would definitely face such a request, so he hesitated for a moment before agreeing. After watching Wang Jie go back to the second hall, he sighed and hurried back to the living room, but after a while, he turned around
He came and went to the door of the second hall and said in a low voice: "Report to Wang Dayin, I have checked carefully, that thing... that thing is indeed not there."
I think Deng Xiaodai had asked him to check it out, but he looked through it and couldn't find it!
"How is that possible!" Zhu Ying opened the door curtain and yelled angrily. Seeing the person in front of the door, she was startled and hurriedly backed away. She almost fell off the steps. Only then did she realize that she had lost her composure.
He jumped out and grabbed Uncle Deng.
As soon as he stood firm, she let go of her hand. When she turned around and saw that Lu Chan had come out, she said stiffly: "Eunuch Lu, Zhang Wu, Zhang Lu and Xiao Qi may have gone to Grandpa Ge's place to pay New Year's greetings."
, after all, Ah Shou is also there, let’s go there first and take a look!”
Seeing that Lu Chan was stunned for a moment and then agreed, Zhu Ying didn't even bother to confirm whether the marriage certificate was really not filed in the Shuntian government office. She turned around and strode out. Uncle Deng was stunned and hurriedly chased after her.
.
Zhu Ying really wanted to understand. Both her grandmother and mother kept saying that she and Zhang Shou were engaged, but why there was no marriage certificate that the nobles should have filed in the Shuntian government office as usual?
