Chapter two hundred and eighty fourth meal delivery and visit
Along the way, Lu Sanlang walked and talked triumphantly. When he finally finished boasting about his achievements, he had arrived at the gate of the Imperial College. He licked his lips with unfinished content and was about to talk about the suggestion Zhang Shou made to his father through him.
, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a person not far away. Almost without thinking, he ducked directly behind Zhang Shou.
Oh my god, Mr. Zhu has an extra scar on his face. He looks deeper than before... No, he looks more fierce!
Although he seemed righteous in front of Lu Wan, Lu Sanlang knew very well how damaging the rumors about his and Zhu Ying's so-called marriage were - not everyone could understand his painstaking pretense like Zhang Shou did, especially Zhu Tingfang. Therefore, since Zhu Ying,
When the eldest son returns, he hides as far away as possible, trying to avoid direct encounters. Just like yesterday, he ran away...
Zhang Shou was speechless for a while by Lu Sanlang's move, but what was even more speechless was that Zhu Tingfang had just seen him off in the morning. What was he doing now? Before he could ask, a guard greeted him with a smile on his face.
He came up, holding a three-layer food box in his hand: "Shou Gongzi, the eldest son said that the food outside is not as clean as at home, so I happened to be on the way, so I brought it to you."
By the way? Zhu Tingfang doesn’t have a real job yet, and he’s not the kind of person who likes to go out and make friends. What the hell are you by the way?
Just when he was thinking this, Zhang Shou heard Zhu Er's business coming from behind: "Hey, Lu Sanpang, why are you so sneaky? My eldest brother is not a savage beast, can he still eat you?"
After making a triumphant sarcastic remark, seeing that Lu Sanlang did not dare to say anything, Zhu Er walked over in a swaggering manner. When he saw the food box carried by the guard, he was suddenly surprised and happy. Hearing that Zhu Ying was no longer in person or perhaps
Someone was sent to bring lunch or even dinner to Zhang Shou, but he couldn't get his lunch. Therefore, he immediately said with a smile: "Brother, you are so kind, remember to bring us lunch!"
Zhu Tingfang glanced at Zhu Er lightly and said lightly: "The small kitchen at home only prepares Zhang Shou's portion. As for you, you have so many friends, you can finish this meal wherever you go at noon."
Brother, are you really my biological brother? Why do I feel that I was picked up and Zhang Shou is your biological brother! Zhu Er suddenly burst into tears, and his resentful expression was simply heartbreaking to see.
Zhu Tingfang looked at him expressionlessly for a while, and then said, "Fortunately, Yingying is thinking about you as a brother and asked the kitchen to prepare an extra portion for you."
Before Zhu Er, whose face was shining brightly, could cheer for joy, he added: "But if you can't get into the first class when the classes are divided in the future, I'm sorry for Yingying's feelings. You know the consequences yourself. After all,
Dad said before that the family law of yours is only recorded in the account temporarily, and it is not really done."
Speaking of this, Zhu Tingfang glanced at Lu Sanlang who was gloating behind Zhang Shou as if inadvertently, and laughed again: "Didn't Third Master Lu have a close friendship with my second brother in the past? He hasn't seen me at home recently.
, my father and I have been thinking about you for a long time. Although you should be very busy as the chief of the Jiuzhang Hall, you should not be so busy that you forget your old friends."
Lu Sanlang only felt his tailbone explode, and a chill arose spontaneously. He wanted to squeeze out a smile, but the expression on his face seemed to be stiff. Until Zhu Tingfang raised his hand and made a gesture, another guard came up and put down another
Then everyone followed Zhu Tingfang on horseback and left in an orderly manner, and he couldn't help but wailed.
"Little sir, you must help me! Young Master Zhu is not as useless as Zhu Er, he is ruthless! He has been powerful since he was a child. Anyone who dares to criticize the Zhu family's affairs behind his back, especially
When it comes to Mrs. Zhao Guogong, he will never let them go. He can beat people without leaving any scars. Zhu Ying must have learned from him yesterday!"
If someone else spoke ill of his eldest brother, Zhu Er would definitely get angry and retort, but he had just been threatened by his eldest brother, and he could not help but feel sad at this time.
"Lu Sanpang is right, my eldest brother is simply not a human being! I have never seen him lose since I was a child. Whether it is studying or practicing martial arts, he has always been the first. He is ranked first among the princes and princes of his generation.
After eight lifetimes of suffering, everyone will be compared with him by the elders in the family! But I am not him, how can I withstand such a torment!"
After complaining for a few times, Zhu Er said angrily: "Why doesn't my father have more sons..."
"My father gave birth to one more son than your father. What's the result? I'm disliked by him in all kinds of ways?" Lu Sanlang sneered, but the rude look he had when he just whined was still gone. He
He stepped forward and picked up a food box and gave it to Zhu Er, who was looking frustrated. He picked up another one and then changed his face to a smile.
"Little sir, let's go to your dormitory and have dinner and talk at the same time?"
Zhang Shou was also a little helpless at Zhu Tingfang's overly attentive behavior from yesterday to today, but knowing that he was doing it for others to see, he really had no choice. At this time, he agreed to Lu Sanlang's suggestion without much thought.
.
When they followed Zhang Shou into the dormitory, Zhu Er and Lu Sanlang put aside their previous depression and took out the various foods and drinks inside, they were shocked again.
Because, not only did the meat and vegetables in one of the boxes have a reasonable mix of meat and vegetables, but the color was also pleasing to the eye, while the other box contained ordinary braised fish, steamed pork with rice flour, scrambled eggs, and cold shepherd's purse. Even though it was actually a hearty lunch, what?
They all had a perfunctory tone. So, Zhu Er couldn't help complaining again: "Needless to say, this must be for me!"
"Okay, okay, let's just treat it as an honest mistake by your cook." Zhang Shou didn't want to turn this meal into a complaint meeting. He divided the chopsticks and told Zhu Er to stop talking and start eating quickly, and he just came to eat.
Lu Sanlang, who was drinking, said, "By the way, you, the head of Jiuzhangtang Zhai, will go visit Dr. Yang on my behalf this afternoon."
Lu Sanlang immediately quit: "Why! That old immortal's reputation in the entire Imperial College is now ruined. You know, Xie Wanquan rescued him but was beaten up by him. Too many people saw this.
Xie Wanquan quit Suixingtang angrily, and it was because of him. He completely smashed the word "being a teacher" to the ground! I heard that the chief minister in Chengdu wished that he was dead!"
"The reason for asking you to visit him is not for anything else. It's just to tell him that Suh Xing Hall has been handed over to Dr. Li from Guangye Hall. Dr. Li was able to manage Guangye Hall with 700 or 800 people in an orderly manner before.
Naturally, the two-hundred-person Sui Xing Hall is not a problem, so Dr. Yang, please don’t worry about the Imperial College failing without him, and just take good care of your health."
Zhang Shou looked at the suddenly enlightened Lu Sanlang with a half-smile, and continued as if nothing had happened: "Since he can think of slandering me to induce Yingying to take action, and wants to kill two birds with one stone and arouse public outrage, then he must have something to cause the people to betray their relatives and leave them with nothing.
Awareness. Compared to a gentleman's revenge, which is never too late in ten years, I prefer to take revenge overnight. This time I had to do it overnight, and I already feel that I am at a loss."
Hearing that Zhang Shou asked Lu Sanlang to visit Yang Yiming for this purpose, Zhu Er suddenly became more energetic: "If Lu Sanpang doesn't want to go, I will go! I'm the best at annoying people! Lu Sanpang, please don't
Fight with me, I'll go now! By the way, you have to prepare some gifts to see people, right? I'll go to those places that specialize in funerals and the like!"
Seeing Zhu Er put down his chopsticks and stop eating, Lu Sanlang rushed out of the door. Seeing that Zhang Shou didn't stop him, he couldn't help but laughed and said: "Young gentleman, I think you had planned to let Zhu Er."
Take action, right?"
"He was just provoked by his elder brother. Let him go to Yang Yiming's place to make a big fuss and vent his anger." Zhang Shou paused for a moment, with an indifferent expression on his face. "As for whether Yang Yiming will be angry because of this."
At any rate, come on, I believe he still has some sense of propriety." Besides, after he sent Yang Yiming home yesterday, the doctor said that Yang Yiming's health is good and he will not die!
"That's right, even though Zhu Er turns into a worm in front of his elder brother, he is actually very cunning in his actions. He is bad at heart but weak on the surface." Lu Sanlang relied on his deep understanding of Zhu Er
, approved of Zhang Shou's intention to provoke Zhu Er to visit Yang Yiming, and then immediately supported the table with one hand and moved his head closer to Zhang Shou.
"After my father listened to my suggestion last night, he didn't say yes or no, but he said he should think about it carefully."
Zhang Shou was already very satisfied with Lu Wan's reaction. After all, a big shot who had already served as Minister of War could not be easily frightened... or deceived. Even when the situation was already somewhat unfavorable, people
Nor will they give in casually. Because such people have their own connections and channels, and will not be easily convinced.
Therefore, when Lu Sanlang came over again and asked in a low voice if there was any follow-up plan to deal with his father, Zhang Shou suddenly couldn't stand his face and immediately laughed and cursed: "Is there anyone like you who can be a son?
I think when things started to break out between you and that girl from the Liu family, your father was firmly on your side!"
"Then he's not trying to protect me, he's just trying to protect the Lu family's reputation and his old face."
Lu Sanlang looked unappreciative, but under Zhang Shou's glare, he finally whispered: "I got to know Mr. Zhao Guogong deeply because I had a good relationship with Zhu Er out of curiosity. Don't look at it.
He doesn’t snort or laugh, and he has been keeping a low profile for more than ten years, but he is a very vengeful person! If my father does something like that, don’t even think about getting away with it easily!"
"So, instead of letting Duke Zhao deal with him, why don't I scare him...right? At least I'm doing it for his own good."
Zhang Shou couldn't help but feel a little amused when he saw Lu Sanlang, a big fat boy, winking at him and actually looking cute. But more importantly, he felt that Lu Sanlang, a seemingly rebellious son, actually really cared about his father.
of.
It's like Lu Wan showing contempt and distrust of Lu Sanlang's son, but at the same time stepping in to defend him at critical moments instead of throwing this fat son away like an abandoned son.
"You are such a naughty boy. It would be a pity not to go to court and compete with the elders." Zhang Shou shook his head and smiled, and then said in a relaxed tone, "We don't have to do anything next, we just have to watch from the sidelines.
Just make a show. Yesterday, Yingying and I, together with Yang Yiming and Xie Wanquan, caused such a huge mess. Now it’s time for someone else to take action."
Zhu Er didn't know that Zhang Shou and Lu Sanlang were partners and encouraged him to find trouble with Yang Yiming. He only had two mouthfuls of food and didn't feel hungry. After leaving the Imperial Academy, he found a nearby restaurant and casually
He bought several colors of cheap pastries - according to his temperament, he originally decided to buy low-quality ones, but after thinking about it, he decided to be a little more kind.
It doesn't matter if others find fault with his sincerity, and it doesn't matter if he doubts his intentions, but at least you can't let others pour dirty water on him!
As for what I said before about buying funeral supplies to offend people, Zhu Er still entered the store and then left. Because after examining with great interest the funeral objects used by civilians, such as various pottery and clay horse figures,
He suddenly remembered two words, so he dropped the things as if his hands were hot and left in a hurry.
Those two words are the most violent crime in the Western Han Dynasty, and people have been unlucky in every dynasty and every generation since then - witchcraft.
So after much thought, Zhu Er also brought a box of pastries, which Emperor Taizu once popularized to his ministers, as the best medicine for visiting patients - fruits. In March, a season when all things rejuvenate, there are now many fruits on the market.
There are not many fruits, but the paper bag in his hand contains the most expensive cherries.
Therefore, when he came to the gate of the Yang family and found that there were two guards guarding the Shuntian government office, he was slightly stunned and took the initiative to step forward and handed over the things he had brought.
"Dr. Zhang of the Imperial Academy asked me, the acting director of Banshan Hall, to come and see Dr. Yang. I bought a box of snacks and six taels of cherries. Do you have anything to test poisons? Let's try it first, so that Dr. Yang doesn't mess with me again.
To poison him!"
The two detectives immediately complained secretly. But knowing that Zhu Er did it on purpose and to blame others, they still had to bite the bullet and check the "visit gift" that Zhu Er brought, even though it was not their duty at all.
After watching Zhu Er enter with high spirits, the two of them looked at each other and then exchanged views.
"Second Young Master Zhu, are you doing this deliberately to make people angry?"
"The doctor who is guarding here said that although Dr. Yang fainted from anger yesterday, he might have been faking it. Even though he is a scholar, he cherishes his blessings and maintains his health, and his body is in good shape. In this case, Dr. Zhang
How can you swallow this breath?"
The two of them smiled at each other, and they all despised Yang Yiming during the case. Their predecessor, Zhang Shangshu, who pretended to be unconscious, was once again used as a negative example. Naturally, he had no respect for Yang Yiming in his conversation. The attempt to frame Zhu Ying failed, but instead made him look ugly.
The supervisor angrily criticized him and even quit the Suixing Hall to accuse him of not being a good teacher. Will such a person still have a future?
Sure enough, just a moment later, they heard an angry roar coming from the room: "Get out, get out! No matter how miserable I, Yang Yiming, am, I won't be able to watch the joke like you, a playboy!"
Following this sound, the two detectives who looked into the courtyard saw Zhu Er coming out of the house with a smile on their faces: "Dr. Yang is so angry, it seems nothing serious. By the way, I brought him
The pastries and cherries have been tasted by the doctor. If you are worried, then treat me as a filial piety to the doctor and ask him to take good care of your reward. Well, Dr. Yang, we will see you again!"
