Prime Minister

Chapter 238 Discussion
While Zhang Yue was talking with Yang Shi, he saw Zhang Yu and Lao Duguan stepping out of the back hall.

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "Brother Yue is here, he is really a rare visitor."

Zhang Yue smiled perfunctorily and said, "I've seen Uncle."

Zhang Yu has been an official for many years, and he has experienced the world and the world, so he can see how sincere Zhang Yue's uncle is.

Zhang Yu sat down and said: "I heard that you got the third place in the understanding test this time. It's very good. Although it's not as good as our brother Dun's Kaifeng mansion, but at least it's a solution."

Zhang Yue listened to his heart and said, this is not the meaning of mocking himself for being inferior to Zhang Dun.

But there is no comparison in the Kaifeng Mansion Examination. Is it interesting that you decide to be the first and third?

Zhang Yue said: "What my uncle saw taught me, so my uncle must have been Gaodi in the examination. I don't know how old my uncle was?"

Zhang Yu laughed and said, "I'm getting old, I don't remember it for a while."

"Admiration, admiration, uncle's indifference and indifference, really makes my nephew admire."

Zhang Yu laughed dryly, but when he saw Yang looking at the two of them, he immediately changed his mind and said: "Brother Yue is expressing his apology, and also said such a good marriage, uncle is really happy for you."

Mrs. Yang asked the old Du Guan: "Have you come?"

The old man said: "The bride just played leaf cards with some ladies. When I heard Brother Yue came, I pushed the cards and waited in the pavilion."

Yang said to Zhang Yue with a full smile: "Meet your sister-in-law."

"Yes."

Zhang Yue got up immediately when he heard the words, and soon a woman in her twenties and eight years came into the room.

The woman was wearing a bright red beige, but her dress was very dignified and elegant, and her appearance was not outstanding, but she looked wealthy.

Zhang Yue looked at the other person's appearance, and thought that Yang really picked a good wife for his second brother.

How do rich people choose their daughter-in-law?That is also from the rich family.

My second sister-in-law, at a glance, knew that she had grown up in fine clothes and jade food since she was a child, and her eyes were pure.

Zhang Yue can't help but compare her with Shi Qi Niang.One of them is rich and the other is noble.The other party's eyes were very modest, while Seventeen Niang's eyes were full of arrogance.

Mrs. Zhang saluted Zhang Yu and Mrs. Yang first, and then greeted Zhang Yue.

"Meet my sister-in-law."

"Meet uncle."

After seeing the ceremony, the two took their seats. Yang first asked, "Have you sent a letter from Brother Dun?"

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Brother Dun's family letters are not always delivered to mother Cui's mother first?"

Yang smiled and said, "I forgot for a while."

Zhang Yue sighed that this sister-in-law is sensible.

Yang asked again: "Have the houses on Tianshui Lane been tidied up?"

"It's all done. The three main rooms have been cleaned. The daughter-in-law is based on the utensils and utensils added to the home of an official from Fujian who came to Beijing. There is also a study where Xi'er reads. The writing and ink are selected from the best in the capital. The west of the study One room is reserved for the future gentleman, and the east wing room is reserved for uncle. The east wing room is not only spacious, but there is a warm pavilion next to it, so it is warm to live in in winter."

Zhang Yue sighed that Mrs. Zhang was so careful and thoughtful that she even knew that she was afraid of the cold.Although I will not live in the past, I still thank you.

Yang said: "You have worked hard these days."

"The mother trusts the daughter-in-law to entrust the housekeeping, and the daughter-in-law should do her best."

Zhang Yu on the side said cheerfully, anyway, the family affairs were handled by Mrs. Yang before, so with Mrs. Zhang, he would be happy to be the shopkeeper.

But Zhang Yu did not forget his pride and said to Zhang Yue: "Brother Yue, do you see that there are many things about the housekeeper, and your future wife should be able to share the burden for the family like your sister-in-law."

what?
Are you teaching me... a lady to do things?
You don't have to praise your daughter-in-law face to face.

Zhang Yue had 1 complaints in his heart.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said: "The lady of the Wu family is from the prime minister's family. She is a lady among the ladies. I will ask her how to manage the family in the future."

After speaking, Mrs. Zhang smiled apologetically at Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue once again lamented Zhang's virtuousness.Now he finally understands what it means to be a successful man with a virtuous woman.

Zhang Dun married such a woman, it's no wonder that the more capable officials become.

Zhang Yu secretly smiled, the prime minister's background is good, but such a girl is also difficult to control, can Zhang Yue hold it?
After that, Zhang Yue said goodbye and declined the Zhang family's meal.

Zhang Yue went to see Guo Lin after saying goodbye.Nanjian has admitted more than [-] people this time.

Guo Lin is now living in Zhang Yue's hut. The former You surnamed scholar often stays out at night after failing the ranking. It is said that he was lured to gamble.Most of the time, only Guo Lin lives in the hut.

Zhang Yue brought a pot of good wine this time, went to the street to buy roast meat, and brought it to Guo Lin's house.

Zhang Yue felt that he had many identities. To the Wu family, he was a prospective son-in-law, in front of Chen Xiang, a student, in front of Ouyang Xiu, he was a nephew, but in front of Guo Lin, Zhang Yue finally found himself.

The two of them talked without any scruples, and they could say whatever they wanted.

Zhang Yue poured the wine, but saw Guo Lin sullenly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Guo Lindao: "I don't know whether to say it or not. I used to have a few good friends when I was in the Southern Prison. This time I passed the exam, but they failed."

"Nowadays there are fraud cases in the imperial examination, and they go around saying that I have fraud cases. I have a close relationship with the examiners...now they don't have any contact with me."

Zhang Yue laughed when he heard the words: "What else do I say, this is a good thing, brother. It's better to see these people clearly sooner than later. These friends are good friends."

"They are making arrangements everywhere now, and they are still slandering among classmates. I am a little..." Guo Lin sighed here.

Zhang Yue patted Guo Lin's shoulder and said, "Brother, I'm telling you to ignore him."

"Han Shan asked Shide in the past, saying: The world slanders me, deceives me, humiliates me, laughs at me, despises me, despises me, hates me, deceives me, how to deal with it?"

"Shi Deyun: Just bear with him, let him, let him go, avoid him, bear with him, respect him, ignore him, stay for a few more years and watch him."

Guo Lin nodded and said, "Junior Brother, that's right."

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "However, what Han Shan and Shide said is the truth of Buddhism, but we Confucian scholars should not say so. Brother, you have to endure it, but it depends on how you endure it."

"I believe in this sentence, people must always work hard, follow others to slander, follow others to bully, benefit everywhere, and gain virtue everywhere."

"If you don't work hard, the slander and bullying of others will eventually become a demon, and you will eventually be exhausted."

Guo Lin nodded suddenly.

Zhang Yue saw that Guo Lin listened in and continued: "In life, you will always suffer all kinds of slander and bullying. You repay it with a tooth for a tooth, but it takes a lot of energy for a while. But if you don't retaliate, you will be angry all day long in your heart. One day Become a demon."

"It's better to work hard and stop being with these people. When you look down on them, the grievances and humiliations at the beginning have become your capital of virtue."

"Brother, this is the truth that I have thought about for a long time before I understand it. Now I give it to you, and it will be rewarding."

Guo Lin nodded and said: "Junior brother, you are really different than before. You use this sentence to persuade me, why not persuade yourself, the person you want to win in your heart is your second brother."

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Brother knows me."

Guo Lindao: "I understand, junior brother has really suffered all these years."

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "I don't think so, it's just a matter of cultivating the mind."

Immediately, the two brothers and sisters drank all night, talked about many things about their youth, and finally passed out together.

At the end of September, Zhang Shi's family finally arrived in Bianjing.
