Hexi

For the sake of the elders whose official functions are under one person and over ten thousand people, of course many things are no longer bound by the rules.There is no year or festival, and there is no royal wedding or funeral ceremony, and the Ministry of Rituals rarely has any urgent affairs.On the days when he was not in court, Zhang Yun only went to the yamen to answer a question, and returned to the mansion after handling a few official duties.

But this morning, he even canceled his trip to the yamen because he received a letter of greeting from the government of Zhen Guo.

The person who posted the post is Mrs. Zhen Guogong.In the name of visiting Mrs. Zhang, she wanted to bring her son to visit her.

Madam is in her [-]s, although she is comparable to Madam Yang in terms of official status, but judging from her age, she is worthy of this visit.

The Zhang family is the Qingliu of Daliang, and most of the people they have been with for many years are scholars. They only have official and human relations with the royal family and royal family, and there are very few personal relationships.The Han family is a family of military generals, and their family has a noble concubine, who is the emperor's confidant and important minister. Zhang Yun also doesn't have much contact with their family.

But after the emperor spoke yesterday, some things had to change, or, since he started competing for the chief assistant, they were about to change.

The presiding judges in Chang Wei's case are the Han family and Su Shou, but in fact the Han family must occupy the top priority.He reminded Su Shou yesterday, expressing that he needed to use Chang Wei's case to gain a higher bargaining chip, Su Shou had to listen, unless he wanted to tear himself apart with his mentor——

Zhang Yun didn't know how much Su Shou knew about his own details. In fact, ever since Chang Wei challenged Yang Xie and asked them to beware of Su Shou, he began to feel a little guilty, or rather ashamed and afraid. , for this disciple who has been chained by his side for many years, it is terrible that he has to be reminded of his true colors through Chang Wei.

Zhang Yun spent several days sorting out the details between himself and Su Shou, intending to find out whether Su Shou knew his intentions, and if he knew, how much did he know?

There has been no meeting between master and apprentice for several days.

Hearing that he came to the mansion suddenly yesterday, Zhang Yun was shocked.

But he has read thousands of sails, but he still can't show his feet in front of him.

After quietly probing a few words, he was still satisfied with Su Shou's performance.With his rich experience, he didn't see any signs of doubt and guard against himself in this young man in his 30s.

Even if Su Shou had an amazing city, and even if he suspected that there was someone behind Yang Xie, he was by no means powerful enough to suspect that the mastermind was his mentor.

So he knocked on Su Shou and hinted at him at the same time, expressing his intention to participate in Chang Wei's case and to use this case to win the position of Chief Assistant.

Su Shou agreed on the spot, and confessed frankly that he was going to Han's house for a banquet that night.

As devout as ever.

Oh——There were also times when he was disobedient. He ordered him to transfer him back to Beijing to take a post several times back then, but he just refused to listen and insisted on staying in other places. He didn't come back until Mrs. Xie died, which made him a little annoyed.

However, things are over.

No matter what, Zhang Yun was very satisfied with his frankness yesterday, and now, he is even more satisfied with his respect.

Mrs. Zhen Guogong, who had rarely seen each other, suddenly visited with her son. This was a signal that Su Shou had really mentioned this matter to Zhen Guogong, and Zhen Guogong had already acquiesced, so the Han family sent Mrs. Yang and Han Mo came to express their position.

This is of great benefit to him.

The case has always been in the hands of the Han family. As the elder of the pavilion, even if he can intervene, it is inconvenient to ask too deeply.So much so that after Chang Wei was arrested, he and Yang Xie repeatedly fell into the passive position.Now that the Han family has come to visit, not only can he profit from this to get more news, but he can even control the direction of things.

Zhang Yun wandered around the porch for a quarter of an hour holding the post, and then ordered a car to be sent to pick up his wife, Mrs. Zhou, back home, and sent a message to his son Zhang Xu and grandson Zhang Yu to accompany the guests, and at the same time arranged for the eldest daughter-in-law, Grandma Zhang, to greet the guests quickly. matters.

Grandma Zhang was fascinated by the post sent by the Su family, and quickly called the lady in charge after hearing the message.Explain that at this time, the small courtyard in the garden with the best scenery is for female guests, and the front yard academy with the most secluded and elegant environment is for male guests.The mats are of the highest quality, and clean water is poured on the street, and the road is paved with long felt.

She stuffed Su Ruo's post into her sleeves: "Those who return to the Su family, please say that Miss Su is welcome to come to the house."

Lu Ling was the first to arrive at the mansion.Because he had already posted a post to the Zhang family after he came back from the Su family yesterday, so he was Zhang Yun's reserved guest.

Then came Su Luo.As soon as she got out of the car, she saw the door of the mansion opened wide, and Su Luo rushed forward to greet her maid and asked with a smile: "Could there be any distinguished guests today? Did I come by accident?"

"What are you talking about?" Grandma Zhang came out briskly while speaking, "There are some honored guests. Mrs. Zhen Guogong and his son are both visiting today. You are just here to accompany my guests. How can you say that?" What a coincidence? What a coincidence!"

"That's really a coincidence." Su Luo said, "My father happened to be working with Zhen Guogong during this period of time!"

"Isn't it? How about you come by coincidence."

Grandma Zhang held Su Luo's hand affectionately.

Then Mrs. Zhang hurried back home.As soon as I got out of the car, I didn't breathe evenly, so I pointed to Grandma Zhang and asked about the reception.

After intensive arrangements were made, Mrs. Yang and Han Mo finally arrived in a carriage each.

"Oh, I'm not here to drop by, just to visit you, sister of the Zhang family. You see, this is too grand for you! How can I afford this?"

Mrs. Yang's crisp words immediately stirred up the solemn atmosphere.She met Mrs. Zhang, greeted the women of the Zhang family one by one, and finally her eyes fell on Su Wei: "What a coincidence, Miss Su is here too? I just had tea with your wife two days ago!"

Su Wei stepped forward to salute, Madam Yang said no, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then turned to talk to Madam Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, everything seemed natural and at ease, not concealed.

Only when Han Mo was heading to the front yard in the presence of Zhang Xu and his son, when he turned his head, he met her eyes indiscriminately.

During the moment when Su Wei arrived first, she used the name of accompanying guests to figure out the general arrangement for today.

Today, the place to receive the female family members is Jiyinzhai on the northeast corner of the garden. It is near the lake and has a stage, which is very suitable for walking around for entertainment.

And Han Mo and the others were Fu Qingxuan in the southeast of the entire Zhang Mansion, and Lu Ling was naturally with them.

The courtyard with the portraits that Lu Ling mentioned was called Ranqiu Pavilion, but it was on the west side of Zhang's mansion, forming a triangle with the place where the three of them were.

If Su Wei wanted to go there to seek evidence without any trace, she would have to have no time to separate herself from the Zhang family's male and female family members, and at the same time, she would have to have a certain amount of time to get away.
