Chapter 374 Originally born from the same root, with different temperaments
Although he knew that Ge Yong's so-called strangulation to death was just a joke, and that Master Ge had repeatedly said that Xian Yunhe and others must be killed, perhaps it was just a gesture to test his attitude, but Ge Yong's attitude towards the DPRK
Some people may react indifferently and at the same time take care of the aftermath. Zhang Shou certainly appreciates it.
Therefore, when Ge Yong said that he would not go back to the court and went directly to the room to rest, he not only sent the person back to the room, but also went to fetch water, personally served the person to wash his face, and took Ah Liu to bring him
I had a good meal with the teacher. Of course, at the dinner table, Teacher Ge, who did not care about the old rule of not talking during eating or sleeping, had to take him to discuss astronomy again.
God knows how big Zhang Shouyi's head was when he heard about the orbits of those stars - even if he had graduated from science and engineering, how many people would be interested in minoring in the orbits of planets and comets after passing the A in advanced mathematics?
It wasn't until Ge Yong took him to eat and relax after dinner to talk about the truth. Zhang Shou had no choice but to bite the bullet and directly throw out the plane rectangular coordinate system for the old man to figure out its use. Only then was he able to escape successfully. Of course, he was
Tangled up in this brand-new system, the old man no longer had the time to take a nap, and he even had to worry about whether he would be able to eat dinner. He could only say sorry.
Anyway, Ge Yong is a person who lives and learns, that is the real academic master!
After coming out of Ge Yong's guest room, Zhang Shou found that there was not only Ah Liu but also Zhu Er and Zhang Chen outside the door. However, compared to the excited Zhang Chen, Zhu Er was grabbed by Zhang Chen.
He looked embarrassed as he wanted to leave but couldn't. Sure enough, when he waved for the two of them to follow him before talking, Zhu Er started calling Tianqu all the way.
"I was so hungry that I didn't even eat lunch, but Sixth Brother refused to let us in, saying not to disturb Grandmaster Ge while he was talking to you! I immediately said I wanted to leave and come back after lunch, but Zhang Chen refused to let me in.
He is too overbearing and we have been waiting in vain for a long time!"
Zhang Chen was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked Zhu Er. Seeing that the person was hiding quickly, he wanted to speak angrily, but in the end, he only listened to Zhang Shou's instructions to Ah Liu to find some food and send it to the room.
He motioned for the two of them to follow him to his residence. Then, Zhang Chen glanced at Zhu Er with disdain, quickly caught up with him, and repeated what he and Zhu Er had said before between the two cases.
Although Zhang Shou has been throwing out a so-called cooperative plan in front of others, Zhang Shou really plans to seize the spinning line with Young Master Jiang as the best chess piece first, and then consider other things. Now I heard that Zhang Shou
Chen volunteered to integrate many weaving workshops and weavers, and vowed that Zhu Er planned to organize a trial planting of cotton brought from overseas. He was suddenly a little stunned.
He didn't expect that the two of them not only heard what he said, but also took it seriously. While they were angry and funny at the same time, they had to admit that they were indeed very discerning...
However, he had just proposed this matter, so he didn't want to make a decision so quickly. He simply walked along and asked the two of them for their thoughts. As a result, Zhang Chen, who had actually opened a weaving workshop, was able to give some ideas, and
Zhu Er...it just looked like someone had put it on the shelves. I couldn't figure out why for a long time.
Thinking that Zhu Er's so-called good farmer character was given by him, Zhang Shou suddenly couldn't laugh or cry at this moment. He knew that it must be Zhang Chen who was afraid that one person was not enough, so he dragged Zhu Er with him. He knew better that compared to being in the capital because of
Lu Sanlang, whose talent is emerging, Zhang Chen, who is reckless and impulsive but dares to fight hard, and Zhu Er are really mediocre.
Thinking about it, this second son is really miserable. His grandmother, father, stepmother, everyone is resolute and bold in speaking and doing. The eldest brother is both civil and military, and even Zhu Ying, who seems to be willful and impulsive, dares to do something.
It is said that a chicken stands out from a flock of chickens, but Zhu Er is like a chicken that stands out from a flock of cranes. He has been severely beaten since he was a child.
So, when he returned to his residence, he saw that Ah Liu had brought a box of snacks, and motioned to Zhang Chen and Zhu Er to fill their bellies first. He calculated it carefully and said to Zhang Chen and Zhu Er: "You go back and make a good one."
Give me the detailed plan. After I look back at it, if I think it’s good, then it wouldn’t be a bad idea to leave it to you to organize and plan.”
Seeing that Zhang Chen was overjoyed and agreed, he even ran away without even caring about the half-eaten crystal cake, leaving Zhu Er with a troubled face, so he had to remind him: "Don't just work behind closed doors alone.
Go out and find more people for help. Xian Yunhe also brought a shocking case involving some cotton farmers before. You might as well go to Xiao Huahua for help and ask him to find a few people for you to discuss."
Zhu Er felt that this was not feasible, and he said hesitantly: "Those guys and I only met once in the palace, and most of us didn't talk much. Besides, Xian Yunhe and several leaders are in prison. Next time
We still have to marry each other, what if someone holds a grudge, or if he doesn’t say anything, what happens in his actions?”
"You think too much! You were able to let go of your arrogance before. You jumped into the sea with the old salted fish, broke into the palace, and lobbied the eldest prince. You had such a strange adventure. You didn't know that someone outside was talking about you.
Are you the righteous Second Young Master? No matter who you are, you will always have a certain fondness for those who have shared the joys and sorrows with you. How could you forget that you have such an advantage over Zhang Chen? "
Zhu Er gradually became very happy as he listened, and finally clapped his hands vigorously and said: "Yes, a dead horse is treated as a living horse, I'll give it a try! Well, Old Xianyu still owes me a big favor.
, he is indeed my future brother-in-law, but he is thoughtful... Uh, I'm leaving first!"
He often said the words "future brother-in-law" on his lips, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly realized that today was different from the last time. He hurriedly laughed, turned around and ran away as fast as if there was something wrong with him.
It's like some savage beast is chasing you from behind.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Shou felt suspicious for some reason, but he was really exhausted from running around for the past two days, so he didn't take it too seriously. After shaking his head with a smile, he finally couldn't help but yawned again.
But at this moment, he heard Ah Liu’s faint voice coming from his ears.
"Did the young master forget something?"
"Forgot something?" Zhang Shou asked sleepily. When he found no answer, he glanced sideways at Ah Liu and saw that the young man was glaring at him with some dissatisfaction. Only then did he suddenly realize that he was indeed
Forgot someone.
The eldest lady who should have appeared immediately and always laughed and laughed... why is she missing? Thinking of Zhu Er's strange reaction and Ah Liu's dissatisfied reminder at this time, he couldn't help but cover his head with some distress.
He raised his forehead, sighed and asked: "Tell me, where did Yingying go?"
Don't tell me that you just went back to Maliu Mountain to dig tunnels!
"The eldest lady has returned to Beijing." Ah Liu's answer was as simple and straightforward as ever. Seeing Zhang Shou was slightly stunned, he thought for a while and finally added, "She brought Zhu Hong and six of them, as well as the carriage.
"
After learning that the carriage was specially made by the Duke of Zhao, the eldest lady finally remembered to take it with her, and this trip was back to Beijing. Zhang Shou felt a little relieved. However, even though he knew Zhu Ying's character well,
He was deeply aware of her style of coming and going without a trace, but he still felt that the eldest lady's return to Beijing was a bit sudden.
He asked doubtfully: "Did something happen to Duke Zhao's mansion in the capital that made her rush back in such a hurry?"
However, when he asked, he was met with a somewhat contemptuous look from Ah Liu. At this time, Zhang Shoufang realized that the three Zhu family brothers and sisters were all in Cangzhou. If Zhu Tingfang came under the same order as him, he could not be good at it.
Li, if something really happened to the Zhu family in Duke Zhao's mansion, Zhu Er should follow Zhu Ying!
The reason for not going back because of fear of being beaten does not exist for Zhu Er. If there is something at home but Zhu Er insists on not going back, Zhu Ying will also drag people back. If one eldest lady is not enough, there are
Where is Mr. Zhu?
Thinking that Zhu Er was indeed guilty just now, Zhang Shou unknowingly darkened his face: "So, Yingying and her second brother got into some trouble, so she was asked to rush back to Beijing to help intercede and deal with the aftermath?"
"It's not her second brother, it's you."
For the first time, Ah Liu felt that Zhang Shou, who had always been very smart, had become stupid. He said just seven words, and seeing Zhang Shou's face full of surprise, he had to add another sentence: "She is worried about you."
Zhang Shou understood it immediately. He patted his forehead lightly, then shook his head and said with a smile: "According to her character, she is really so fickle. It would be better if she just waited. I just talked to the teacher
After everything has been said, the teacher may have guessed that I would be lenient to Xian Yunhe and the others, so he was prepared for it. Besides, if someone really grabs me..."
He paused and said nonchalantly: "In the worst case, I will go to Qiongzhou Mansion to experience what it was like to be a layman in Dongpo back then."
Ah Liu frowned suddenly, and his usually stern face became even colder: "She will go too if you go!"
Zhang Shou didn't expect Ah Liu to choke himself back like this. He wanted to say that he didn't want to be exiled to Hainan, but just wanted to inspect the environment there and see how to cultivate rubber trees in large quantities. But he knew that Ah Liu just wanted to
Telling myself that Zhu Ying's character is that she will end up in trouble when she sees a path, and she will never give up when she sees a person. She was speechless for a moment.
To put it bluntly, Qiongzhou Prefecture in these days cannot be equated with Hainan Island, a resort in later generations. Considering that the land route may not be accessible for half a year, but the sea route also has weather and various risks, he can only give up this idea for the time being.
.
It doesn't matter to him alone, but if Zhu Ying is added to the mix...then we really need to think about it in the long term! The acclimatization of this era can kill people!
Now that Zhu Ying had already left for Beijing, after asking about the departure time, Zhang Shou was sure that she would not be able to catch her back. He was really tired and tired, so he simply kicked Ah Liu out and went to bed to take a nap.
When he woke up, he saw nothing but darkness in the room. His first reaction was that it was not yet dawn... It took him a long time to realize that he had been taking a nap before and it was not yet dawn.
, but it was already dark outside.
He put his forehead with the back of his hand and murmured to himself: "I actually slept until I couldn't tell the difference between day and night. It's really..."
Although no one bothered him, it was a good thing that he could have a good sleep until he woke up naturally. But taking a nap was different from sleeping at night. When he turned over and got up, he felt that his whole head was groggy and he felt numb for a long time.
Don't come.
When he got off the ground and lazily dressed, he suddenly heard a knock on the door from outside. The knock on the door was regular and controlled, three times, followed by a pause and three more times.
Pause once, then three times. It was as if if he didn't open the door, the knocking would continue endlessly.
"I'm coming!"
Seeing the persistence of people outside, Zhang Shou could only tie up his clothes in a hurry, straighten his hair, and then directly pulled his shoes to the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhu Tingfang standing outside. He had expected this.
The person who was meticulous about even knocking on the door must be my future uncle, so he said, "What, but what's important?"
"It's nothing important. I just saw that you haven't eaten dinner, so I came to take a look." Zhu Tingfang looked at Zhang Shou up and down for a while with a strange expression that I had never seen anyone take a nap for so long. He was not embarrassed to see anyone.
Looking at him seriously, he said, "A monk was sent from Wanghai Temple to discuss with me how to transport the stone tablets from the tunnel. What do you think?"
Just ignore that damn thing!
Zhang Shou muttered this in his heart, but in front of Zhu Tingfang, he had to show a relatively cautious look: "The stone tablet is almost buried in the deepest part of the tunnel. It takes a long time for Yingying and I to go in and out empty-handed.
Not to mention sending people in to drag such a heavy thing out. I think that under the current situation in Cangzhou, it is better to save manpower."
"Cherish manpower? Haven't you always asked Zhang Chen and your second brother to investigate the landless and unemployed people? Since there are so many idlers, why not find something to do for them? Why do you still care about manpower?"
Seeing Zhu Tingfang looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile, Zhang Shou was stunned for a moment, and then said nonchalantly: "Even if there are many idle people in Cangzhou, they cannot be abused. After all, Ma Liushan is not in Cangzhou City. Even if the carriage transports two cars and a dozen people, there will be a round trip."
It will take three days, right? A stone tablet of hundreds or thousands of kilograms requires more than one or two manpower. We also have to consider whether there is any danger in entering..."
"Okay, okay, I know what you mean!" Zhu Tingfang stretched out her hand to stop, then showed a smile: "Actually, that's what I mean too."
Zhang Shou suddenly became angry. Is that what you mean? Then why are you still trying to confront me?
As if he did not see Zhang Shou's resentment, Zhu Tingfang said to himself: "There is no need to go to war over a stone tablet of unknown origin. After all, there are already countless Taizu manuscripts in the ancient and modern collections that cannot be interpreted, and there is no shortage of them.
The rubbings of this stone tablet are enough for a good deal, and I am not Yingying. But Wanghai Temple claims that part of the tunnel was dug during the Mingxi period."
