I guessed the beginning, but I didn't expect the outcome.
For Zhang Shou, this sentence can perfectly explain his complicated mood. After the high-profile days when he first entered the Imperial College, he has been relatively low-key in the past few months, only hoping that Runwu can take care of his two
Completely different class. Today's sudden high profile is just to stir up a stir and attract others' attention.
But such an incident actually ended with Xie Wanquan, the former chief of Suixing Hall, angrily claiming that he wanted to quit Shuxing Hall, and at the same time, Yang Yiming, the doctor of Guozi, fainted from anger. He really had a headache.
Moreover, perhaps because Xie Wanquan's lesson was too profound, after Yang Yiming fainted, no one came forward to help him, so he had no choice but to ask for help from his quasi-eldest uncle. Finally, he and Zhu Tingfang worked together to lift Yang Yiming onto the carriage, and then
He was rushed to the hospital because he was worried that during the time he went to call the doctor, he would be so angry that he would have a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular emergency and die suddenly.
Although he found that the supervisors of Suixing Hall were somewhat avoidant of Yang Yiming, Zhang Shou was not willing to bear the risk alone. He had to let Xie Wanquan recognize five or six supervisors of Suixing Hall - of course, including those who had previously avoided doing things.
Sheng's current director ordered them to go to the medical clinic together, and then loudly ordered Lu Sanlang and Zhu Er to go to the doctor's hall to inform other academic officials.
So, when the whole thing finally came to an end, it was already the moonlight over the treetops.
After learning the whole story, Zhou Jijiu had no choice but to take Luo Siye over in person, and then used his own car to drive Yang Yiming back to his house near the Imperial College. Seeing Luo Siye facing the man who invited him over
The doctor who stayed with him all night just in case of emergencies gave him many instructions, but he called Zhang Shou out of the courtyard.
"All of Dr. Yang's family and children are not in the capital. Fortunately, today you ignored the past and sent him to the hospital. Otherwise, he would not know whether he was dead or alive." For Yang Yiming, who is so old and has no official position, he still likes everything like a young man.
Of course Zhou Jijiu didn't like his subordinates who were also striving for the top spot. However, he also kept a distance from Zhang Shou who was too maverick.
But he understood today's incident from beginning to end. Although he felt that Zhu Ying might have waved the whip in an intimidating way when she was arguing with Yang Yiming, the root cause was that Yang Yiming, who was the first to provoke, was the one who brought it upon himself!
"It's not as if we don't care about past grudges. Dr. Yang is an older man after all. Although I despise him for being so messy, I can't just watch him fall to the ground and be ignored. However, if you hadn't arrived in time with Da Sicheng and your people,
I originally planned to send him to the hospital to pay for the consultation and then leave him to the care of his students, so I left immediately."
Zhang Shou paused for a moment, then said calmly: "After all, how can one repay kindness with kindness?"
"If you can do this job, you have indeed done your best. Luo Siye and I also discussed today's matters. The other doctors also said that Dr. Yang is really not suitable to be in charge of Suixingtang anymore.
. If his illness cannot be cured within a short period of time, he will retire due to illness. If he can be cured, I will ask the emperor to let him go and serve as an academic official in a down-to-earth manner."
"Da Sicheng and Shao Sicheng have troubled themselves." Zhang Shou said dryly, but he never expressed his opinion.
Even if he knows that the so-called foreign academic officer is actually not a good job - it is not the Tixue Dao and the Supervising Censor who are known as the great masters of Tixue! If you are a foreign academic officer, the county school tutor is only at the ninth level, and the government professor is at the eighth level.
, the treatment was far different from that of Dr. Guozi. He only wanted to say one thing in his heart about this absolutely leftist move.
If you don't do it, you won't die... you deserve it!
When Zhang Shou walked out of the Yang family's gate, he saw his familiar carriage parked under the opposite wall, but he clearly remembered that when he came out today, he was riding a horse, not going to the Imperial College in a car. When he got closer, he found that
The person sitting on the driver’s seat was none other than Zhu Tingfang!
"Young Master, what are you..."
"My grandmother and parents are worried and asked me to pick you up." Before Zhang Shou could thank him, he added a few more words, "Of course the most important thing is that Yingying is restless. If I don't come, she will
Wait here. So I can only make this trip in person. Also, since our two families have finalized the marriage contract, you can also change your title. You can call me big brother as Yingying does."
Seemingly seeing Zhang Shou's astonished face, he said calmly: "Of course, you can ignore the second brother and just call him by his first name."
Until this moment, Zhang Shoufang felt that the eldest son of the Zhu family, who had always behaved perfectly, had a little fresh breath. He thought for a while and walked forward quickly, but did not enter the carriage, but directly motioned to Zhu Tingfang to come over.
, he sat next to him in the driver's seat, and said with a smile: "It's late at night anyway, and no one saw it, so let's go back like this!"
From the first time she met Zhang Shou, Zhu Tingfang understood the reason why Zhu Ying fell in love at first sight - that girl had liked good-looking people since she was a child. At first, the honest nanny was disliked by her as a baby, so she
She was replaced by the plump and beautiful Mother Zhao. As a result, when Zhu Ying grew up, Mother Zhao became restless and Zhu Ying gradually disliked her character, so she was sent away.
The two eldest girls next to Zhu Ying, Zhan Jin and Liu Yin, were both extremely beautiful. They were secretly laughed at by outsiders for this, but Zhu Ying was always confident - she was beautiful enough, and she didn't need those mediocre ones.
The maid serves as a foil.
In addition, the first thing Zhu Ying was picky about about the teachers that Zhao Guogong's government found for her was their appearance. Over the years, the one that Zhu Ying likes and respects the most is Ge, who is still elegant even in old age.
What a master.
Therefore, Zhu Tingfang understood very well how attractive Zhang Shou's handsome and elegant face was to Zhu Ying - however, if he only had this face but the person was vulgar, Zhu Ying might be bored after looking at it for a few days, but
However, Zhang Shou didn't look like a poor man who grew up in the countryside at all. Regardless of his knowledge and conversation, even after he had been in contact with him a few times, he couldn't help but be secretly convinced.
If it weren't for the fact that the entire Rongshui Village was filled with people carefully selected by his father, and if it wasn't for the Wu family's care and concern for Zhang Shou that could never be faked, he would have simply thought that someone had found out about the engagement between the two families early on, so he secretly sent Zhang Shou to Zhang Shou.
Shou has lost the package.
At this moment, Zhu Tingfang drove forward in silence for a while. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Zhang Shou beside him, sitting there contentedly. He suddenly couldn't help but ask: "Even if Yingying just whipped her whip to scare Yang Yiming, now?"
It still seems domineering to others. Zhang Shou, do you really not mind?"
"What do you mind?" Zhang Shou chuckled and said disapprovingly, "Everyone says that women should be docile, but if they are too demure and docile, they no longer look like living people, but like clay sculptures.
Even if Yingying is arrogant and domineering, she is still someone who hates her. She is much stronger than those women who look like weak little flowers but are actually vicious."
Zhu Tingfang heard the sincerity in Zhang Shou's words and couldn't help laughing. Then she said leisurely: "When my mother went to the temple, I was less than five years old, and I was actually not very sensible. She hugged her when she left.
I cried a lot and said that I hope I can help her take care of Yingying so that she won't be wronged. My mother was very kind to me at first, so I agreed without even thinking about it."
"Neither my grandmother nor my father ignored Yingying because her mother left. Instead, they held her in their hands, and I did the same. Anyone who makes her unhappy, no matter who it is, is my enemy. In our life
Under the pampering, when Yingying grew up, although she was a little arrogant and willful, she always had a clear distinction between love and hate."
"She once heard someone speaking ill of her mother behind her back while attending a banquet. She made a fuss and declared that she never wanted to see that woman again. As a result, the gossiping lady was sent back to her hometown by her husband's family, and she was never seen again.
She has never shown her face in the capital. She was scolded as a spendthrift because she quarreled with others and spent a lot of money. Sooner or later, Duke Zhao's palace will be completely ruined by her."
"But she also once had a heavy snow disaster in Beijing. In addition to persuading acquaintances to donate rice, rice and warm clothes, she also spent money to build a charity hall to adopt homeless orphans and teach them how to survive.
Her craftsmanship. Like Zhang Chen, she once faced injustice and handed someone else's petition directly to the emperor... Some things were even done when she was less than ten years old."
"Although she forgot these little things she did in the blink of an eye, I still always felt that she was a kind-hearted girl."
"She is very kind-hearted. I could see it when we were in the village."
Zhang Shou narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of her holding a big red oil-paper umbrella, adding a rich and colorful scene to the simple countryside with simple houses. After a pause, he said nonchalantly: "Actually, it's just like what you said, brother, I
What I like most about her is that she has a clear distinction between likes and dislikes. It’s easy to hide your likes and dislikes, but don’t you think that as a relative or friend, you don’t like people around you pretending to be themselves?”
"You're right." Zhu Tingfang finally seized the best opportunity and said straightforwardly, "Yingying has always hidden nothing and shown herself openly, but what about you? Did you really deceive her at all? You have nothing to do with everyone.
fool?"
"I can only say that I try my best to hide nothing, but there are some things that are secrets that belong to me alone, and this will not damage the relationship and affection between me and her, nor will it hinder my actions. Maybe there is
At the time, I didn't seem to be candid enough, but looking back afterwards, you will know that my concealment in advance was just to facilitate my actions and had nothing to hide."
Although Zhang Shou's words were still a little vague, Zhu Tingfang felt that they were almost there.
After the incident in the Imperial College was over, he dragged Zhu Ying home and asked the truth on the way. Zhu Ying said that she and Zhang Shou had discussed it last night and acted like today. As for Yang Yiming's provocation
, it was a completely unexpected incident, so she took advantage of the situation and made use of it.
At the critical moment when things got serious, Zhang Shouneng came out and did not let Zhu Ying handle it alone. He was quite satisfied with this attitude.
The two men were not familiar with each other, so they did not continue to have friendly and in-depth conversations along the way. More often, Zhang Shou asked with interest about the previous battle in the Northern Expedition. Zhu Tingfang did not
He doesn’t have the habit of showing off himself. When he talks about himself, he is mostly concise and to the point, but when it comes to others, he often doesn’t hesitate to praise him.
When he finally parked the car, Zhang Shoufang discovered that it was not outside the Imperial Academy, but in his temporary residence on the back street of Zhao Guogong's mansion, next door to Zhao Guogong's mansion.
Of course Zhu Tingfang could understand his surprise, and immediately took the initiative to explain: "Since Ah Liu is not here, it will be inconvenient for you to live in the Imperial College dormitory. It is better to work harder these days and go home to live better."
Zhang Shou was a little stunned: "Did Yingying tell you about Ah Liu's absence?"
Zhu Tingfang smiled slightly: "Yingying mentioned Ah Liu several times yesterday. If I can't notice it again, it would be too slow. I don't care what you sent people to do, but I don't want the assassination, kidnapping, and frame-up to happen again.
It's something like that, so I will personally take someone to pick you up and drop you off in the past few days."
Hearing this, Zhang Shou was stunned.
Although he knew very well that because of his status as the son-in-law of the Zhu family and the many incidents he had caused in the past few months, even under the feet of an emperor like the capital, it was not that safe. However, if Zhao Guogong's mansion wanted to be like
It was okay to send a few guards with him like in the past. The dignified eldest son of Zhao Guogong personally picked him up...
Zhang Shou couldn't help but think of Zhu Tingfang's newly created official position - General Mingwei of the fourth rank. Although this was just a casual rank that was added due to the removal of the firearms battalion before, and there was no actual job to support it, while he served as a doctor of Guozi, he also led
Comparing the title of Zuo Zanshan of Zuo Chunfang in Zhan Shifu and the title of Imperial Academy Attendant, he is still much higher.
But these days, he is far from being called a noble man or a lowly man. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Is it necessary?"
"It needs to be like this." Zhu Tingfang smiled faintly and said in a more serious tone, "Especially after you and Yingying caused such a big scene today. As long as I escort you every day, I think some people will always be able to weigh the situation clearly.
"
Zhang Shou stared at Zhu Tingfang for a long time, and finally gave up. This uncle had been willing to accept even fatal missions in the army. He must have been an extremely stubborn person. If he wanted to convince him, he had to go to bed.
Bar……
"Okay, it's late at night, so I won't delay you, brother. Good night and farewell."
Seeing Zhang Shou jump out of the car neatly, and then strode to the door and knocked. Zhu Tingfang watched Old Liu Tou open the door and welcome Zhang Shou in. Then he jumped off the carriage and handed back the carriage that he had given to the Zhang family.
Arriving at the back door of my house.
When he walked through the backyard of his house and finally came to the Qing'an Hall, where the lights were still on, he saw Mother Li holding a lantern to welcome him. Mother Li smiled and saluted him, and then relayed the instructions of several owners to him
By the way.
"The madam and the master said that the eldest young master does not need to go to Qing'an Hall and Yongning Residence to say hello, and go back and rest early. The madam said that you have worked hard today, thanks to you, otherwise she would not be able to help but take action... and the eldest lady said, she
