Zhang Chuan knew who this other person was without even asking - he must have been asked to learn from Zhang Shou.
Zhang Shou was famous for his previous discipline of the fourth prince, but what was even more famous was that this time he actually dared to leave the fourth prince in the public school from morning to night without paying any attention to him.
What it means to teach by words and deeds right under your nose!
Although the emperor was so angry that the fourth prince was kicked out of the palace, and this matter was no longer a secret among the officials, he had heard from his wife how the fourth prince was doing at the outer city school.
Of course, the wife who always obeyed him would not inquire about this. The problem was that Zhang Chen didn't care about the fourth prince.
As far as he knew, Zhang Chen, who had gone to the public school to see the excitement, first told his family, and then went on to publicize how miserable the fourth prince was. There was not much meat in his three meals a day, and even white rice was not available.
, sleeping with others in a room that is not spacious at night, and doing chores like cleaning in the public school...
This was no longer just a promotion of Zhang Shou's hard-working education, but he felt that his son's enthusiasm for gloating over misfortune was simply overwhelming. If he hadn't known that Zhang Chen actually had no grudge against the fourth prince, he would have thought that the two had some deep hatred!
At this moment, he couldn't help but seriously consider whether he should throw Zhang Chen into trouble. But considering Zhang Chen's age and being one of Zhang Shou's genuine students, he could be considered to have changed his mind now.
, he still gave up this simple and crude plan. After all, since he personally beat Zhang Chen before, his son hid when he saw him, which shows that the effect of the beating was very bad.
Compared to him, Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying were both clever and versatile people. They were also worried about Zhang Chen's marriage. They had no choice. What other trap could he come up with to make Zhang Chen fall into a trap?
If he had one, he would have used it long ago! Zhang Chen hasn’t even become a good son yet, so how can he talk about being a good husband in the future?
Therefore, Qin Guogong, who was still quite comfortable in front of the emperor, showed an extremely embarrassed expression at this time. After leaving the Qianqing Palace, he was wrapped in thick furs again. Under the guidance of a young chamberlain in front, he headed towards Donghua with a heavy heart.
He walked out the door, but as he was walking, he suddenly asked in a confused manner: "Are you newly transferred to Qianqing Palace?"
He went to and from Qianqing Palace not many times, but because of his good memory, he remembered the common faces very clearly. At this time, he asked a casual question, but he did not wait for an answer immediately. Not only that, the man even hesitated
For a moment.
Although Zhang Chuan was not an overly vigilant person, he couldn't help but frown at this time. Fortunately, the other party quickly woke up and said hurriedly: "Forgive me, Duke Qin, but this servant has just been transferred from the Chief of Ceremonies to the Qianqing Palace.
I agree, I have been in office for less than two hours in total, so it is natural that you don’t know me."
Zhang Chuan has never been in the habit of making friends with ministers, but when he heard that he had just been transferred from the Supervisor of Ceremonies to the Palace of Qianqing, he couldn't help but be a little curious. Although the servants in the Supervisor of Ceremonies are said to be one out of ten, it is difficult to choose the one in the Palace of Qianqing.
It is also a matter of selecting the best among the best. Especially for an emperor with such a temper, it is really not something that ordinary people can serve.
Having said that, after he nodded, he didn't ask any more questions. The young chamberlain Luo Sanhe was already mentally prepared to tell the Duke of Qin about the dispute between him and Chu Kuan, but he couldn't do it without asking.
He said it to himself, so he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
What caught him even more off guard was that after arriving at Donghua Gate, when Zhang Chuan was leaving, he suddenly said to him: "Since you are newly transferred to Qianqing Palace, you should be careful in your words and deeds. Learn more from Eunuch Chu, don't Like Liu Feng before!"
Luo Sanhe never expected that in Zhang Chuan's mouth, Chu Kuan would become a role model for him to learn from! Although Zhang Shou asked Chu Kuan for a "death avoidance talisman" for him, Chu Kuan also fulfilled his promise to transfer him. When he arrived in front of the Emperor of Qianqing Palace, he didn't think it was true that he didn't care about past grievances, but only believed that Chu Kuan was using a borrowed knife to kill people.
The emperor's stick killing Liu Feng had already caused a stir among the palace servants. No one even knew whether Liu Feng's body was abandoned in the wilderness or buried after his death. Even if they knew that the Qianqing Palace was indeed a place that caught the emperor's eye. , but after weighing the pros and cons, he would rather slowly climb up the ceremonial staff step by step, and finally let everyone see clearly the true face of Chu Kuan.
Because his adoptive father once told him when he was old in the past, Chu Kuan had great plans and he could never be allowed to do whatever he wanted.
Zhang Chuan didn't have much time to find out what a young chamberlain in the Qianqing Palace was thinking. Because of the emperor's last words, when he mounted his horse and left from the Donghua Gate, he thought about it carefully in his mind, and finally decided After leaving Dong'anmen in the Outer Imperial City, he turned north from Dong'anmen Street and entered Chongwenmen Street. However, when he arrived at Shuntianfu Street, he passed through the gate of Shuntianfu Office and did not enter.
Continuing all the way to the west, he passed through several streets and alleys in a familiar way and arrived at the gate of Zhao Guogong's mansion. Naturally, this move made the few followers who followed him confused. They only thought that the emperor had something to say to his master. Bring it to Zhao Guogong... But the question is, at this moment, shouldn't Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing be at the Ministry of War Yamen on the Qianbu Corridor of Qipan Street?
As for the sudden arrival of Qin Guogong Zhang Chuan, the concierge of Zhao Guogong's Mansion was also shocked. While sending someone to report the news, he invited this distinguished guest in. Soon, Zhu Er hurried out to greet him and laughed when he saw him. : "What brings you, Mr. Qin Guo? If you are looking for dad and eldest brother, you should go to the Yamen. I am the only idler at home."
"Of course, after the Chinese New Year, I won't be idle anymore. By then, only my grandmother, mother and my future sister-in-law will be left in the family!"
Of course Zhang Chuan knew what kind of person Zhu Er was, and he had no time to talk to others. When he entered the small flower hall, he said bluntly: "Zhu Erlang, I have something to say to Yingying. If she is not here, I will Just leave a letter."
Zhu Er's eyes suddenly widened. Fortunately, he was used to his sister's omnipotence. After a moment of confusion, he stood up and said with a smile: "You are lucky. Yingying went to Huairou yesterday, but she came back early today. After returning to the palace, she returned home. Although her grandmother and mother asked her to go and sleep in her cage, she refused and is still in Qing'an Hall at the moment. Just wait, I went to call her!"
Although the two families were not close friends, they were both top nobles. Zhu Er did not suspect that there was anything wrong with an elder like Zhang Chuan seeing Zhu Ying. After saying this, he hurried out of the small flower hall and asked for tea. The boy who came was wondering if the second young master had returned to his old ways and why he had left the guest behind. Soon, Zhu Er came back with Zhu Ying.
"Uncle Zhang!"
Zhu Ying has been following her grandmother everywhere since she was a child. Even when she was dealing with distinguished nobles that she had never dealt with, such as the three brothers of Chu Guogong, she could still call them uncles, not to mention Qin Guogong, who had some friendship with her father.
Zhang Chuan came. After saluting and addressing him with a smile, she sat on the main seat in an elegant manner.
Zhu Er originally wanted to stay where he was and listen to what happened, but after thinking about it carefully, he sneaked out to the yard and guarded it himself.
Zhang Chuan originally had no intention of avoiding Zhu Er, but since he left, he couldn't force him back, so after careful consideration, he omitted to mention that he went to the Confucius Mansion to visit the great scholar of Confucius, and used deceit to seduce him.
He took the initiative to ask for a job - he only directly talked about Zhang Chen's marriage. Then, before Zhu Ying could react, he actually stood up and bowed deeply to Zhu Ying.
At this moment, Zhu Ying, who was about to complain, was startled and quickly stepped forward to help Zhang Chuan up. The eldest lady complained angrily: "Uncle Zhang, what are you doing? What are you doing?
Can’t you please say it nicely?”
"You have been busy for Zhang Chen's marriage for a long time. In the end, this kid is either picky or quits when it is difficult. I am really sorry for you. As a father, I naturally have to thank you in person. What's more, Zhang Chen used to
I don’t know how high the sky is, and I have done a lot of messy things, all because I, as a father, have no proper discipline.”
Zhu Ying was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It's all in the past, why should you take it to heart, Uncle Zhang? Besides, I have a Shou myself, and of course I hope that all lovers in the world will eventually get married.
Everyone is happy, and don't be the ones who are all quarrelsome in the future... But Zhang Chen is really troublesome. Either he looks down on others, or others look down on him."
"So this temper needs to be cured."
Zhang Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said nonchalantly: "I heard that Mr. Ye, whom you recommended to the women's school, despises him. He has eyes above his head and wants a stunningly beautiful woman as his wife all day long, but he doesn't want to be alone.
Thinking, a beauty can grow old easily, will he still change his wife when his youth is old? I wonder if you can think of a way to give this kid a hard blow? "
Seeing the surprise on Zhu Ying's face, the Duke of Qin smiled and said: "His idle temper has certainly changed, but his attitude of putting his eyes on the top has gone too far. Apart from his family background, he has no unparalleled abilities.
, why do you look down on others? In short, please Yingying, please find a way to dampen his arrogance."
Is there such a father in the world?
Zhu Ying only felt that although her father was very strict with her second brother, he was not so deceptive. If Zhang Chen knew about it, people would not know how resentful they would be. However, what Zhang Chuan said next made her have to pay attention.
.
"He has admired you before, so now no matter what kind of beauty he sees, he will definitely compare it with you. But all women in the world are unique. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to have the same appearance and temperament, and it is absolutely impossible to find someone like you.
Not until the second time, so he was so troubled that he failed your good intentions again and again."
"Xueshi Zhang and Yingying... you are too spoiled to him! He had everything going smoothly since he was a child, but he got into trouble with you, but in the end, everything went smoothly when he started doing business. Even the big trouble of pretending to be the second prince's confidant before,
They were all blocked by Academician Zhang, but in the end he was so complacent and thought he had the trick, how could anyone be like him?"
"Compared to Sanlang, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu of the Lu family who have seen the harsh world, this kid is just like the fourth prince and needs to be dealt with!"
Zhu Ying racked her brains and couldn't figure out how to refute Zhang Chuan. In the end, she could only smile bitterly and said: "Uncle Zhang, you are such a cruel father, but if you want to frustrate him, you can do that, right? You
How to find me?"
"I personally scolded him, but do you see if it works?" Zhang Chuan did not hide his failure as a father at all. He sighed and stood up, "Don't blame me for throwing away the burden, he is like this
If your temper continues like this, even if you finally marry a wife reluctantly, there is no guarantee that she will not be like the emperor and the deposed queen. I am not an alarmist, you should understand. "
Zhang Chuan did not hesitate to use the emperor as an example. He shook his head and walked straight out. But when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and sighed.
"Although I have given Xueshi Zhang many thanksgiving gifts before to express my gratitude to him as a teacher, they really cannot match the friendship you and I showed to help Zhang Chen. Therefore, no matter whether this is successful or not, as long as Xueshi Zhang wants to do it in the future
Whatever I can do, I will fully support it."
After this promise, he added: "In addition to such conditional support, as long as it is related to schools, whether it is a public school or a girls' school, I will support it unconditionally, whether it is donating money, materials or even land.
, you just need to say it, I won’t say anything.”
Compared with promising any valuable gifts, the two promises made by Qin Guogong Zhang Chuan were undoubtedly as important as a thousand. She was still hesitating just now and immediately chased after him. When she saw Zhu Er still poking his head in the yard, she faced him.
Zhang Chuan left and shouted: "Well, I will remember what you said, Uncle Zhang, but I will tell you the ugly thing first. I will try my best to do it. If Zhang Chen turns against me, I will confess you!"
"Haha, just say it was me who asked you to do it then!" Zhang Chuan said and waved his hand to say goodbye. When he walked out of the gate of Zhao Guogong's mansion, he felt relaxed.
The Zhang family is such an only son, and the relationship between the side branches is simply too far away. If a person's marriage goes wrong and the Zhang family is extinct, how can he live up to his dead father? He can at least look forward to entrusting Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying with full authority.
one time.
Zhu Er was in the yard just now. He only caught a little bit of what Zhang Chuan said to Zhu Ying. He sent Zhang Chuan to the gate and hurried back to the small flower hall. When he saw that his sister hadn't left yet, he smiled with saliva on his face.
Asked: "Yingying, I heard Qin Guogong said that he wanted to give you something at the end. Why, what kind of help did he want you to do? Why is he so generous?"
"Keep it secret." Zhu Ying cast a sidelong glance at Zhu Er, and immediately became upset when she saw the person. She said angrily, "If your big mouth says it out, it won't work! Anyway, just help me first."
Grandma and mother will finish arranging my eldest brother’s wedding!”
Being interrupted like this by Zhu Ying, Zhu Er suddenly wanted to cry. Before, he had no choice but to lie on the bed pretending to be a big brother, humming while dealing with the groups of people who came to visit him. He also had to endure the fact that these guys knew that he was fake and were still there.
The hypocrisy of being attentive and polite. Now the eldest brother is still alive and well and continues to go to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to be his overbearing chief, but he actually has to serve as the backdrop for the eldest brother in the mansion!
All the wedding arrangements that the eldest brother should have rehearsed were done by him...and the grandmother and mother both said plausibly that he was going to get married next year anyway! But it was clear that Zhu Ying was the one who was going to get married next, but she didn't have to appear.
Is he the son that the Zhu family picked up from somewhere?
