Whether there is a ghost or not, what does it have to do with me...that's weird!
Zhang Shou heard Zhu Ying talk about Zhang Chen's glorious deeds that caused a lot of commotion in the capital in those years, and then heard her say that the fourth prince was in the palace, and because he and the third prince were killed by the eldest prince and the second prince
He was bullied (even if he was protected by the emperor, there was always something the emperor couldn't see), so he came up with the idea of raising bees to sting people, which luckily did not come to fruition. He couldn't help but be stunned.
Both of them are his students. If something happens, he, the teacher, will not necessarily be implicated. After all, they all have two parents, and the educational responsibility is not his alone. But he, the teacher, has two different teachers.
The worry-free students are under a lot of pressure! You know, when Zhang Chen was in Xingtai, he had the idea of pretending to be the second prince's subordinate to trick the eldest prince, and he even put it into practice!
In contrast, Miss Zhu is very capable of doing things in a measured manner. At first, she blocked the door of Si Li Jianwai Yamen, but Chu Kuan stayed away. Moreover, such an incident would at most offend the entire group of eunuchs. As for
The serious scholar-bureaucrats in the court would probably watch the fun happily. But the emperor behind the eunuch group could at most call Zhu Ying to scold her!
In fact, because of the news that the Tai Fu had imprisoned Zhu Ying in the ancestral hall to reflect, when Zhu Ying later went to see the emperor, the emperor not only scolded him, but even acted as a peacemaker...
Therefore, when thinking of the combination of Zhang Chen and the fourth prince, Zhang Shou, who had a splitting headache, couldn't help but put his forehead and groaned: "What do these two naughty boys want to do?"
Zhu Ying laughed out loud when she heard that Zhang Shou directly classified Zhang Chen, who was not very young, into the category of naughty child. Then, with blazing eyes, she saw that the fourth prince and Zhang Chen were hooking up, but she didn't.
Trying to use his brain to clear up Zhang Shou's doubts, he tilted his head and said, "Speaking of this, because we accidentally rescued Zou Ming that day, the matter between Hailing County Lord and Song Benben was covered up."
Zhang Shou didn't expect that Zhu Ying's thoughts would jump so fast, and couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Song Ju and his future father-in-law had a very happy chat. When he came back, he was beaming and said that his future father-in-law almost invited him to live at home.
It was because he was so thin-skinned that he refused. Even if such a good story is suppressed by a series of events now, it will definitely arouse a heated discussion when the dust settles."
He paused, then smiled and said, "Besides, it involves Princess Yongping, so keeping it quiet may not be a bad thing."
Zhu Ying immediately glared at Zhang Shou: "Do I want to spread the dispute between me and Yongping? Didn't I think that even a later generation named Song would see that Mingcao had his own, and the two Zhang Chen
My younger brother Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu are just waiting for their wedding date, but Zhang Chen’s marriage has not been settled yet? This kid has to have a maverick beauty, and he dislikes this and that, and it’s been delayed until now!"
"The Duke of Qin entrusted you with the marriage of his eldest son. It wasn't just a day or two, but it took so long! Zhang Chen is so restless that he is afraid of chaos in the world. If there is a powerful woman in charge of him, you don't need it.
Are you worried? As for the fourth prince, it’s even simpler. I’ll go back and talk to the third prince privately, and he will definitely take good care of the people and not let them leave the palace!”
What else can Zhang Shou say about this idea of drawing money from the bottom of the pot? As Zhu Ying said, as long as the fourth prince can be locked up in the palace for a month or two, Zhang Chen will probably not be in the capital by then, so there is no need to worry about the big and small numbers.
What tricks can these naughty children play when they get together? Don’t worry even if Zhang Chen comes back. If a person has a strong wife who can control him, he will be so willful!
Therefore, Zhang Shou took a deep breath and made a categorical promise: "I used to think about letting nature take its course, but now it seems that I can't delay it anymore. I have to find a bridle for this fierce horse!"
However, to put it this way, Zhang Shou can only rely on Zhu Ying for specific matters. Otherwise, as a grown man, would it be possible for him to ride around on horseback to look at girls? Then there is a high chance that others will watch him.
Okay! You can't let Ah Liu fly over the walls and sneak into every house quietly, right? That's not trying to be a matchmaker, that's being a peeping tom!
But this time, Zhu Ying really came up with an excellent idea: "Didn't the emperor plan to choose concubines for the eldest prince and second prince before, and also planned to choose concubines from the fifth rank and below? I went to find Chu Kuan, the chief minister of etiquette, and
The roster is coming. Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu want to get a noble wife and be proud of themselves, but Zhang Chen doesn’t care about his background, as long as he has a stunning personality, he won’t dislike it.”
"The people who have been screened by the Supervisor of Ceremonies are at least of good origin." Zhang Shou did not say that Zhu Ying was whimsical, but he still couldn't help but joked, "But Yingying, you just blocked someone's door last time, but this time you didn't.
I went to the door again to ask for a list of names, how can I get so much face?"
"Why can't you come down? Last time it was because he plotted against you. I blocked the door to settle the accounts with him. I didn't destroy the inner office of the Li Jian. I also took care of the piles of important documents he had inside. He Chu Kuan still wanted
Thank me! Besides, if you and I hadn't rescued Zou Ming this time, one more life would have been lost in this strange case of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Doesn't he still have to thank me? Just for this, a roster is nothing!
"
"Anyway, the third prince and the fourth prince are still young. No matter how good the unmarried girls on the list are, their age is not suitable for them. Of course, if the emperor asked Si Li to select the girls for them, Chu Kuan would not
Give it to me! Since we have gone through so much effort to select it before, it would be a pity to leave it alone. Wouldn't it be better to let a good family like the Duke of Qin go and ask for marriage?"
This really makes sense...but the eldest lady has always been very reasonable...
Zhang Shou once again witnessed Zhu Ying's righteousness, and he even felt that even if Zhu Ying said this to the emperor, the maverick emperor would probably have his eyes lit up, and he would clapped his hands and praised this idea as a good one.
And if it weren't for the fact that the emperor didn't propose marriages to his ministers according to his own wishes these days, the emperor would probably happily marry him!
So, he could only cough and said: "Well, Yingying, just give it a try. However, you must never go to the Duke of Qin's mansion with a roster..."
"Bah, if I take it, Zhang Chen might have the guts to sneak over and look at each other according to the roster. Then it will be a disaster! I won't give it to him... Even you, don't even think about taking a peek!"
When Zhu Ying saw that Zhang Shou was half choked to death by herself, she started laughing, and then said narrowly, "I'm not afraid that you will fancy others, I'm just afraid that others will see you as handsome and elegant, and then they will have bad intentions!"
"I'll just do this kind of thing. Don't worry about it. Why not find an opportunity to deceive those two naughty kids and see if you can find out what they are thinking!"
Seeing that Zhu Ying smiled at him and said goodbye after saying this, she turned back directly. However, she didn't want to go back to Wenhua Hall, but went to the north to see Chu Kuan, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, for a showdown. Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile.
He smiled, then turned around and continued to leave the palace.
Ah Liu, who was waiting at Donghua Gate, saw many officials filing out, some talking in small groups, some walking alone shaking their heads and sighing, and some even talked loudly while looking at him from time to time.
Under the gaze of others, he always had a calm expression on his face, until the crowd dispersed and he saw Zhang Shou walking leisurely with his arms folded.
Outside the long-sleeved blue official robe, there was a snow-white fox fur cloak presented by the Duke of Zhao. From his position, he could see that Zhang Shou was walking very leisurely, neither fast nor slow, as if
It looked like he was coming out of the palace after taking a tour.
He hurried forward to greet her, but asked directly: "Why don't you see the eldest lady?"
"Just remember Yingying!" Zhang Shou couldn't help but stretched out his hand and flicked Ah Liu's forehead. He couldn't help but feel a little bored when he saw that the person was not dodging or hiding. When he saw Yang Hao and Zheng Dangzheng standing next to the carriage not far away,
Trying to look straight, he couldn't help but say, "Are you really planning to treat them as followers? Didn't you work as a concierge before?"
"They're not smart enough."
Seeing Zhang Shou was immediately amused, Ah Liu said seriously: "The eldest lady said that the concierge needs to have enough knowledge and experience to receive guests, welcome and send them off, and the lame Anlu said that the two of them still need to practice
It takes ten or eight years to be competent. But lunatics have sharpened their martial arts skills, and being a follower is enough."
Well... Zhang Shou didn't have time to arrange everything at home - Zhu Ying, who had been closely involved in Zhao Guogong's mansion since childhood, and Hua Qi, who had been hanging out in both the palace and Zhao Guogong's mansion, had been in the market for many years.
An Lu was told by Ah Liu that these three people were at least better at dealing with people than he was these days.
However, when he boarded the car and found that Ah Liu was still sitting in the driver's seat driving, he couldn't help but ask again: "I remember that the Zhao Guogong Palace sent a driver to him before, and he used it for a long time.
Why are you driving the car yourself recently?"
"Am I not good at driving?" Ah Liu, who was sitting on the driver's seat outside, asked melancholy. He found that Zhang Shou didn't speak, as if he was choked, so he continued to mutter, "I don't like sitting in the carriage.
I'm here, I'm riding outside, Master, it's not convenient for you to tell me anything, it's cold, and you can't keep the curtains open all the time!"
For such a reason, Zhang Shou couldn't even complain. He could only lament in his heart that he had such an all-round bodyguard. Even the dignitaries in the capital didn't have one. If he said that the emperor didn't take good care of him at the time, then really
It is totally unjustifiable.
He could hear the cold wind howling outside. Sitting in the car with a stove in his arms, he couldn't say he was warm, but at least he didn't feel the chill. As the carriage moved forward, he thought about the scene at today's sutra banquet.
In one scene, I couldn't help but ask what I had been busy with for the past few days without delaying class while recovering from my injuries. Now I couldn't help but ask.
"Ah Liu, you just hit the fourth prince Zheng Ying that day, but when you hit me, you were able to be ruthless!"
"You asked me to fight, young master." Ah Liu muttered in a low voice, as if he was aggrieved, "I wanted to stop when the fourth prince blocked me, but who told you to ask Yang Hao and Zheng Dang to drag him away?"
This really turned out to be my fault! Zhang Shou couldn't help feeling bitter, but he had to take the initiative to find a reason for Ah Liu: "Isn't it because you know that Yuquan Tong is skilled in martial arts and has medical skills, and fake beatings will be exposed by others?"
"Can I still fake a beating when I hit someone?"
If he had been choked once just now, then Zhang Shou was really choked this time! In Ah Liu's simple understanding, hitting someone must be real, and it is absolutely impossible to fake it!
He took a deep breath, and then decided to educate people about the so-called acting... or the key to acting from various angles. Is there any chance that something like this will happen again in the future? But he spent all his time talking,
What he got was an answer that left him speechless: "Everything else the madman said was crazy, and I was too lazy to listen, but there was one sentence he said that I thought was right."
"If you can't help it, don't do it. Once you do it, you won't be merciful... It's better not to do it than to pretend to do it."
These words really make sense...how strange! Zhang Shou was furious when he heard this, but in an instant, Ah Liu's voice came from outside: "Master, if you are angry, I'll beat you back twice as much!"
Zhang Shou's heart skipped a beat. He was really afraid that Ah Liu would get into trouble, so he quickly stopped him and said: "What do you mean by double the number? Stop talking nonsense to me! I even relied on you to save my life in critical moments, so you must not give it to me.
You are messing around! You give your body and skin to your parents... I mean, you have to cherish yourself and don't take yourself seriously, do you understand?"
Ah Liu, who was waving his horsewhip lightly outside, was stunned for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Yang Hao and Zheng Dang, who were riding horses and riding beside him, saw his smile, but they were so frightened that they shuddered.
Shivering, the two horses almost hit each other.
Will Ah Liu, who never smiles in the village and is even more fierce and strict in the capital and is scarier than a ghost, smile?
Although tomorrow is the grand ceremony for the canonization of the crown prince, the students of Jiuzhang Hall were not qualified to participate at all. However, their teacher Zhang Shou was also the teacher of the third prince, and many of them had also been
Will the classmates of the third prince take turns attending the East Palace in the future based on their grades?
So, on this day, most of them who lived in Xiaozhai received the most important gift in their lives. A set of brand-new clothes that fit their body size. It was a jade-colored silk, a Confucian shirt with wide sleeves and soap edges.
In addition, there is a soft soap ribbon hanging belt on the head.
Along with this outfit, there was another order brought to them - after the crown prince is crowned tomorrow, he will receive a ceremony at Ciqing Palace, and they, the attendants, must go to Ciqing Palace to salute at that time. Although
I didn't have the opportunity to go to Fengtian Hall to observe the ceremony, but this was already an extremely unusual experience. For a time, countless students from humble backgrounds cried with joy.
When Zhang Shou returned to Zhang Yuan, he saw Wu arranging his court clothes. Although he did not go to court very often, court clothes, sacrificial clothes, public clothes, and ordinary clothes were the so-called four sets of civil official attire.
, but it is indispensable. Especially when most of the time he needs to attend major court gatherings such as the New Year's Eve and even the Zhengdan Shengshou Winter Solstice, so he wears court clothes a lot.
But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that his court uniform seemed brand new!
Just as he was wondering, Mrs. Wu came forward with a smile and said, "This is the new court uniform that was just delivered. Ah Shou, I think you have changed into three sets of court uniforms in more than a year!"
