Hexi

Su Luo was persuaded and kept her mouth shut for a long time.

She still has doubts about what others say, but she has verified Lu Ling's eyesight. He said Zhang Yun's handwriting, so it must be Zhang Yun's handwriting, not his surname, even if it is the Zhang family. Neither will anyone else's handwriting.

So, the woman in the portrait is indeed Zhang Yun's ancestor?
But those who can use the word 薨 are not members of the royal family, they must have married into the royal family, or even a prince with a foreign surname. Which kind of noble lady does this painting belong to?She really hadn't heard any rumors about this from the Zhang family.

Obviously Lu Ling had never heard of it, including his father who was in charge of many royal sacrificial ceremonies.

Because he must have inquired from the side of the people around him before he came to ask her for confirmation.

This further proves that Zhang Yun has an ancestor with extraordinary status, which is a little-known secret.

"By the way," she suddenly thought, "You said just now that there is another portrait of this woman?"

"No, the other portrait is a picture of lectures. The background is under rocks and pine trees. A person who looks like a master sits on the rock to give lectures, while the disciples sit under the rock. They have different shapes. I didn't have time to look carefully, but there are about ten of them. Come on. It is also signed by Mr. Zhang Ge, but there is no further information mentioned, just a date.

"The paper of the two portraits is similar, but the color and luster should be made in different periods. The portrait of the woman is a bit yellowish. It should be at least 20 years."

Su Wei sat for a while after listening, and then looked sideways at him: "No wonder you are favored by Mr. Zhang Ge, and there are endless compliments for you from outside. It is really amazing that you can remember these things so clearly in a few quick glances." can."

Lu Ling's ears turned red: "You praise me so much, how can I bear it? I have studied for so many years, if I haven't learned these skills, then my efforts are in vain? Go ask Han My son, he has practiced martial arts for many years, didn't he also cultivate his skills? You are not new to the world, how dare I rely on my talent in front of you?"

Even so, after studying for many years, it is much too late to accomplish anything in the end.

It's just that Su Luo no longer discusses this topic in depth. "Since you found me, I will naturally find a way to help you. It's just that I have to confirm the confirmation, and I will tell you later."

"Then I would like to thank you in advance!" Lu Ling stood up and cupped his hands.When he turned to leave, he paused again and said, "Actually, you might as well go to Zhang's house to see for yourself. Although I paid attention to this matter to take advantage of Zhang Ge's promotion to the chief assistant, I always feel that Zhang Ge The old ancestor was a member of the royal family, but your family, as the closest people in the Zhang family, didn't know about it, and the emperor obviously didn't know about it, isn't it strange?"

Su Wei raised her eyes as deep as a deep spring, and said with a bright smile, "That's exactly what I mean. But, I wonder if Mr. Lu can help me along the way?"

"I will obey your orders!"

Lu Ling solemnly arched his hands.

"That's good." Su Wei got up slowly, "Tomorrow morning, you and I will visit Zhang's residence."

……

Su Shou entered the office, and Han Mo followed behind.

"Qianfuzhai didn't wait for Sun Xiong for several days in a row. This time has exceeded any of his previous time to pick up the shoes. I suspect that Yang Xie and the others have heightened their vigilance and curled up in every aspect."

"What about the news that was agreed to be released before? How far has it progressed?" Su Shou sat down and drank two sips of tea before asking.

"The teahouses and restaurants have all arrived, and many vendors in the city who were delayed by the case are starting to get out of the city." Han Mo took the tea from the yamen servant, took a sip, and sat down on the chair next to him. "I was afraid that it would be too late to cause the other party's suspicion. In the next afternoon, people will have to reassess their limits."

Su Shou let out a long breath: "Whether you can achieve your wish this time, the hope lies in Chang He. Let's limit it to three days, and wait and see what happens."

Han Mo said yes, and put down the tea, but he didn't intend to leave.

Su Shou looked at him: "Is there anything else you need to do?"

"Oh," Han Mo wiped his nose, "The younger generation is ordered by my father to invite my lord to have a small banquet tonight, and I beg you to honor me."

Su Shou looked at him up and down: "For no reason, why is the Duke so kind?"

"It's nothing else. It's just that someone from the mansion came back from Huizhou recently and brought a lot of local products. My father said that everyone has worked hard for this case recently, so I invite you to come over to the mansion for a few drinks and discuss the case by the way." After Han Mo finished speaking, he added another sentence: "It's getting dark now, why don't you go with the junior?"

For fear that he would fly!

Su Shou's brows showed a layer of disapproval, and he said: "Thank you for your kindness, my son, but today I want to go back to the mansion early to rest, and I will thank the Duke for his kindness in person when I have some free time."

"grown ups……"

"My lord, here is a document related to the Liangjiang flood. It must be verified with Mr. Zhang Ge, and it must be submitted to the palace tonight. But when the officials went to the Ministry of Rites, the officials said that Mr. Zhang Ge had returned to the government. .The lower official speaks lightly, I am afraid that he will not be able to enter Zhang's residence, look at this—"

When Han Mo was about to persuade, an official outside the door hurried in with a document.

Su Shou took it in his hand and got up immediately: "I'll go."

Han Mo stopped him: "This junior is the one to go! This junior has long legs and walks fast! You'd better give me a carriage, my father is already waiting at the mansion!"

The little Hades, who used to be a ghostly ghost in the eyes of the people in the capital, now spread his arms like a child to block Su Shou's way. It is no exaggeration to say that the officials next to him almost dropped their jaws when they saw this scene!
In this fight, I can't fight, I can't scold, Su Shou can't be entangled, so I can only compromise in a low voice: "When I come out of Zhang's mansion, I will go to receive the kindness of the Duke and the son. The son will go first!"

Han Mo grinned: "Then sir, don't break your promise."

Su Shou was speechless.This is who he is!
……

The hatchbacks parted ways outside the yamen, and Su Shou drove to Zhang's mansion.

Turn left at the intersection of Dengshi Street and you will find Zhangjia Hutong. The Hutong got its name because the Zhang family occupies more than half of the alley.

Su Shou has been walking in Zhangjia Hutong since he was a teenager, and this road is as familiar as it is engraved in his mind.

You said he was a teenager, how old is he?He can't remember exactly, he only knows that at that time he had studied for several years and started to study locks. Suddenly, one day, his father took Shuxiu and led him into this alley, and opened the door at Zhang's house. Under the welcome of the teacher, he entered to apprentice.

The first person Su Shou saw that day was Zhang Tong, Zhang Ge's father, Zhang Tong, who was the grand censor of the Zhang family at that time.

At that time, Zhang Tong was old and passed away not long after.

——Oh, last year the Zhang family did a 17-year sacrifice for the old man. So, at least seventeen or eight years have passed since the day he became a teacher. He should be about 15 years old.
