Prime Minister

Chapter 59
Zhang Shi heard the words with a wry smile and said, "At the beginning, I said that the second brother went to Beijing to take the jinshi examination, but we were bluffing Zhao Yasi to make him feel scruples and not dare to harm you and me. Now no one knows the whereabouts of the second brother, so don't take it. It's true."

"If you don't get a jinshi, you won't have it. Maybe he has settled down there now without knowing his name."

Zhang Yue hesitated: "Brother, I heard a piece of news from him that the second brother seems to have gone to Suzhou to join the second aunt's house."

"What?" Zhang Shi was taken aback and asked again, "Yes, apart from parents, second brother and second aunt have always been the closest, and second aunt also treats him as her own, so it's not a bad idea to go to her. I forgot to send a letter to ask someone to go to Suzhou to inquire."

Zhang Yue said: "Second uncle, that is, our cousin is an official. If the second brother is admitted to him...you can take the test in Suzhou. The Cao test is still three out of ten, and the second brother's talent can be said to be the test. It's easy, if you go to the capital to go to the provincial test, wouldn't it be better than..."

Zhang Shi said: "You said that the second brother escaped marriage and went to Suzhou to go to Cao for the test in order not to take the test in this state, but this is impossible."

"Why did my brother say that?"

Zhang Shi said: "You don't know the second brother, he is so arrogant and arrogant, let alone one in a hundred people in this state, that is, one out of a thousand people, it is also a saying 'Whoever will give up me'."

Zhang Yue thought to himself, yes, he still doesn't know the second brother as well as the eldest brother.Others saw that Bairenzuo was timid early in the morning, but the second brother was not afraid. It was really unreasonable.

"Okay, don't talk about that, let's go home together!"

Zhang Shi drove his peace car again, Zhang Yue and Zhang Qiu sat at the back of the car, and Guo Xueyan and Guo Lin sat in the car hugging their knees.

Zhang Shi took a shortcut, the car passed a crooked alley, the ground was full of muddy water, and the eaves on both sides of the car were no more than one person high and low.

After the car passed Quxiang, the street was suddenly in front of you.On both sides of the street are lively shops and tall colorful buildings, a scene of busy traffic.

The mule cart merged into the traffic, Guo Lin still looked worried, but Zhang Shi kept whipping his whip.

Zhangqiu likes the liveliness of the city, he looks around for something new, and he keeps asking questions about Guo Xuejia's clothes.

Zhang Yue squinted his eyes and leaned against the carriage rail. The spring sun was just right in the afternoon, and he heard the noise of the busy traffic. Sitting in the rickety carriage, at the moment there was only peace in his heart.

There is no ecstasy as expected, only peace and steadfastness. Since entering the county seat, he has been hanging on his heart, and finally has a place.

The mule cart went out of the city gate and passed the Nanpu Bridge.

The car slowed down here, and Zhang Yue looked up to see several gulls flying, passing by the eaves of the bridge.A few children smiled and stretched out their hands to tease, but when Xiou approached, they retracted their hands in fear.

Zhang Yue looked at the returning Xiou and sighed with emotion, everything in life is just an experience, don't care about the distant future, the past, the most important thing is this moment.

Immediately, the gulls fluttered their wings and flew eastward along with the endlessly flowing Nanpu River under the bridge.Xiou went away, Zhang Yue withdrew his gaze, and when he looked to the other side of the bridge, it was already red for a long time before he knew it!
This view is gorgeous!

Back to the familiar Shuinan New Street, all the way but smell.

"How did Saburo do today?"

"What did you get?"

"Amazing, extraordinary."

"At the age of 13, he became a scholar."

"The Zhang family has produced two talents."

"Dalang, you are amazing."

"Mr. Guo, Saburo was taught by you, it's amazing."

"What Mr. Guo? Others are only able to pass six or seven of the ten courses, but your students actually pass all of them. That's amazing."

"Mr. Guo, where do you teach? My poor boy..."

"This is Saburo's husband. Let's recognize him, and we will find him in the future when we study."

"What Axi also has to be a scholar? That's good!"

"Dalang, I know that the men of your Zhang family are all knowledgeable and willing to make progress."

"Then Zhao Yasi didn't pay attention to me from the beginning."

"The third brother is good, he's very promising, don't imitate your second brother. When he enters the county school, he is defiant."

"Sanlang, when will you come to my house to sit down?"

"Me and you and my second niece look so good..."

"What's wrong with your second niece? How can Saburo, who is crooked and cracked, like it? Saburo, let me tell you, I..."

"What's wrong with my family? It's a common saying that the female junior holds golden bricks, how about you?"

"Where? Saburo, let me tell you, don't look at them, look at my aunt's, she looks so handsome, you don't want to see each other again after a bag."

"Hey, Dalang-kun, what are you talking about? What do you mean when Saburo is still young, thirteen is not bad, thirteen is good, all those who should grow up are all grown up. Next year, I will hold a boy and become a grandfather before thirty. already."

"What thirty, it's 28!"

Zhang Yue sat in the car with his chin up, and shook his head involuntarily. Has this started to catch his son-in-law?It's a headache to think about!Very annoying.

But at the end, Zhang Yue twitched his mouth and raised his eyebrows. If possible, let's be more troublesome like this!

Anything that reads and is motivated is fake, and it is real to have a beautiful woman warming the bed!
When the mule cart returned to the door of the house, the talkative neighbor had already informed that Yu was standing by the fence gate.

Zhang Yue didn't dare to neglect the Yu family at all, and immediately got out of the car and saluted: "Sanlang has seen his sister-in-law, and Saburo was lucky enough to be ordered by the emperor to enter the county school."

Seeing that Zhang Yue respected him so much, Yu's eyes widened with a smile and said, "Just take it, just take it."

"If it weren't for the grace of my sister-in-law, how could Saburo be today? If not for my sister-in-law who cut down on food and clothing, and allowed Saburo to continue his studies, how could Saburo be admitted to the county school today."

Hearing these words, Guo Xueji nodded again and again, this child is sensible.

Zhang Shi couldn't stop laughing.

Yu said with a smile: "Uncle, our family doesn't speak two languages. If you can study and make progress, Shi Lang and I will be satisfied."

Zhang Yue said: "The elder sister-in-law is like a mother, and I also ask my sister-in-law to pay my respects."

After speaking, Zhang Yue really knelt down and bowed.

Yu Shi even said: "I can't make it, I can't make it."

Zhang Shi supported Zhang Yue next to him, and said to his family, "In the past, I asked my third uncle to study. You have a lot to say. It's so good. Our family has finally come here after all the hard work."

Yu said: "I have to let it go. I just ask my uncle to cherish some of the family's money so that he can study."

Zhang Shi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, this time the third brother was admitted to the county school, and Mrs. Shu got the most credit."

"Look at what you said," Yu said angrily, "if you hadn't wasted money and made trouble with the second uncle, how could the family have fallen into such a land now, or the third uncle fought for our family to win back this breath. ."

Guo Xuejia smiled and said: "The eldest lady is right, but just now, Dalangjun said a word well, and we are all willing to work hard."

"Yes, all the hardships are worth it." Yu Shi couldn't help covering his face and weeping at this moment.

Zhangqiu pulled Yu and asked, "Mother, why are you crying?"

Yu shook his head and said, "Mother didn't cry, she wept with joy."

Zhang Shi and Zhang Yue also felt that Yu had suffered too many grievances over the years.

Zhang Shi hurriedly said with guilt: "What are you doing, come in!"

Zhang Shi said to the surrounding neighbors: "Everyone, I have been busy for a day today, and tomorrow I will bring the third brother to the door one by one to thank the neighbors for their kindness over the years."

"Where are you talking?"

"You're welcome, Dalang-Jun."

At the moment, all the neighbors were scattered, and the carriage was taken away by himself. Yu had already prepared the food and drink, but Zhang Shi thought it was not rich enough, and after a while of persuasion, they gave up his idea of ​​going out to buy food and wine.

The wine has warmed up, and the aroma of the wine permeates the room.Guo Xueyan had already moved his index finger when he smelled the aroma of the wine.

In addition to seven or eight vegetables, there is a big fresh fish in the center, which fills a pot.

"Brother, let's open another shop. In the past, we were always afraid that Zhao Yasi would make things difficult, but now it is different. I am a scholar, and Zhao Yasi does not dare to touch our house."

Zhang Shi nodded and said, "I can't be an uncle, or I can't be an uncle. But where does the cost of opening a shop come from?"

"That's true." Zhang Yue nodded.

"You have to eat in one bite, and you have to walk step by step," Yu said with a smile, "The third uncle only became a scholar, so you want to go to the sky in one step?"

Zhang Shi smiled and said, "Yeah, I almost forgot my lady, please invite another servant, lady, don't bother anymore."

Yu said with a smile: "Although the third uncle said that he has entered the county school, he still needs to pay for it. In the future, Xi'er will still have to read the scriptures. I will invite you later."

Zhang Shi smiled and said, "The lady is really virtuous. Just now, I have discussed with Mr. Guo that Xi'er will be allowed to study at his place in the future."

"That's good, I can be relieved to be taught by Mr. Guo," Yu's heart was a hundred unwilling, Guo Xuejian came to teach his son, and said again, "It's just that Wuxi is so far away, I can't bear it."

"We'll talk about it later," Zhang Shi greeted warmly, "Let's thank you sir today."

Guo Xuejia picked up the wine cup and said: "Master Dalang, I don't dare to be, it's Saburo who is good at it."

After drinking.

Zhang Yue packed two big bowls of thick white rice for himself and Guo Lin. Zhang Shi was surprised when he saw it: "Why do you ask your brother to eat rice."

Saying that, Zhang Shi stretched out his chopsticks and pulled a large piece of fish from the basin.

Guo Lin shook his head and said, "Thank you Dalang-Jun, but I'm not used to eating meat."

Zhang Yue remembered that Guo Lin told himself that Fan Zhongyan used to be very poor and only ate porridge for three meals.One day, a classmate bought a sumptuous meal for him. Fan Zhongyan refused to eat it and said, "It has been safe to eat porridge for a long time, and now I am enjoying the delicious food, how can I eat this porridge the day after."

Yes, my brother admires Fan Zhongyan the most.

Just pushed the fish for a while.

Just as he was talking, suddenly there was a loud noise outside, and there was a long string of horses neighing.

Looking from the window, I saw that the countless lanterns outside were lit like daytime, and it seemed that the day was suddenly lit up...

Boom!

Immediately, there was a knock on the door of the house, and there was a burst of urgency.

The family doesn't know what happened?

Zhang Shiqiang smiled to himself: "Sanlang, you accompany Mr. to have a drink, I'll take a look."

Zhang Shi opened the door, but saw Cao Baozheng almost rushing into the room.

Zhang Shi said strangely: "Baozheng, this door was kicked out by Yasi last time, and now it has been dismantled for you. It seems that it is time to change the door!"

Baozheng said anxiously: "What other door do you care about? I told you to go out quickly! Your Majesty is here! I came to your house to congratulate you in person."

Zhang Shi was surprised and said, "Don't be joking, Baozheng, although the third brother is a scholar, it is not worthy of your congratulations."

"Who said it was your Saburo? It's your Erlang, your Erlang... Erlang..."

Bao Zheng couldn't catch his breath.

"What's wrong with my Erlang?" Zhang Shi asked urgently, holding Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng took a breath and said, "Your Erlang... is a jinshi. This is so rich and noble!"

The whole room was dumbfounded.
