Chapter 274 Little Brother Jiang Arrives in Beijing

Zhang Zhe hid at home for three days without going out.

The mother-in-law who went shopping on the street brought back a lot of gossip every day.

The most puzzling thing is that in the past few days, all the sugar water sellers in the city have been unlucky, and many of them have been locked away by the yamen servants.

On August [-]th, Xiufan and Luozhu sent someone to deliver a message.The Marquis of Chongguo had accepted the post and had already promised to complete the implementation of the East Palace for them. There was no need to wait for the East Palace to be vacant.

"The place they plan to go is the Fengsi Hall in the East Palace. It is for the palace people to worship their ancestors and enshrine the lonely people who died in the palace. It is the most deserted place, and they will not see the prince and the masters of the East Palace. Because according to everyone's thinking, no one bullies in the palace, but it's not very oily."

Meng Xiaowan was sewing small clothes, dipped some hair oil with a needle, and talked to herself.

"Anyway, they are from the same hometown, Xiushan is still Xiao Wu's old friend, if I am not pregnant, I would always ask them out for a while. Now that I have entered the palace, it will be difficult to meet again in the future."

"The letter also mentioned a few things about the court." Meng Xiaowan glanced at Zhang Zhe, "Although it was written to me, I'm afraid I didn't tell you about it."

Zhang Zhe put down his pen and looked back at her: "Just say it yourself, I can't miss your words."

"What do you mean that Zongzhengsi's house was raided? Their Jiaofang Division has recruited a lot of people in the past few days. There are dozens of officials from Zongzhengsi's family, the Department of General Administration, and the Department of Pedestrians. Two of them are originally The girl in the boudoir died on her own the first night she entered. Hey, I looked at those, and I didn’t want you to take the Jinshi exam for a while. I’d rather say it, I’m afraid it’ll hurt the old lady and younger sisters in the future.”

Zhang Zhe paused and continued writing without looking back.

"So, don't get involved in the matter of seizing the heir. Although the credit is great, the risk is even higher. But who cares about their parents and wives, who is willing to do this kind of business?"

Meng Xiaowan came to him and stretched out her swan-like neck to watch him write.

"I know you are the most cautious, but sometimes things are not in the slightest."

Zhang Zhe smiled: "Those who speculate on the prince are mostly those who think they are underappreciated or have too much ambition. At worst, they have no talent and can only rely on it to fight for it. They think that their husband's ability will definitely not be like this. "

Seeing Zhang Zhe put down his pen, Meng Xiaowan gently pushed him away. Looking at the words on the case, she felt refreshed for a moment, and put aside all her worries.

"Sister Lin is very good in the book, but it's a pity that her temper is too aloof. Then Baoyu is not someone who can be trusted. I think if Daiyu's father doesn't go, Baoyu may not be worthy of her at all."

"Story of the Stone" written by Zhang Zhe has been updated since leaving Jiangling, and now it has written No. 40 chapters.Meng Xiaowan couldn't put it down, she would read it four or five times each time, and couldn't let go of it.In the past few days, Zhang Zhe has been doing better for a few days, and today he was finally caught by her and changed again.

Meng Xiaowan was picking up the book that was still wet to read, but Zhang Zhe dragged her to the beauty's couch to lean on, and didn't allow her to drink water.

Just because this time it is "Grandma Liu Enters the Grand View Garden".

Sure enough, not long after, Meng Xiaowan laughed so loudly that her branches trembled, she covered her stomach and asked Mother Chen to rub her intestines for her, the laughter couldn't be contained at all.Intimidating, Mother Chen and Nanny Hu hurriedly took the book away, not daring to show it to her again.

Seeing that the book was taken away, Meng Xiaowan would not do anything, instead of looking for Mother Chen and Nanny Hu, she grabbed Zhang Zhe and gave her a fistful of punches.

Zhang Zhe coaxed him for a long time, but he couldn't see it. It happened that Sanqi came to report that it was Jiang Xiaodi who had arrived, so he escaped.

In ancient times, when meeting guests, one had to change clothes, but Zhang Zhe didn't treat Jiang Shangyang as an outsider, and went to the living room to meet guests in his home clothes.

"The road on June 27 took 45 days, and half of the people were scattered." Jiang Xiaodi walked this way, and he was a little thinner than before, but he was in good spirits. Tired brother is worried."

"What do I care about you?" Zhang Zhe stared, "I'm just afraid that the third sister will write to me and ask me. Did my brother encounter any interesting things on the road?"

Jiang Shangyang was stunned: "I don't know what the brother's question specifically refers to?"

"For example, the scenery along the way, the customs of various places," Zhang Zhe squinted at his expression, "For example, is there any woman who catches the eye along this way?"

Jiang Shangyang was both angry and laughing. Since the two families got engaged, this brother of Xin always likes to trouble him in this regard.But he thinks that he has sincere affection for Gu Shuyi, so he is not willing to suffer this wronged in vain.

"Brother, don't joke, lest you hurt Wanyi's mind."

In this sentence, Jiang Xiaodi was angry, but Zhang Zhe listened very comfortably.That's great!

"Staying in a hotel? No, no, no!" Zhang Zhe shook his head quickly, "I vacated the west courtyard a long time ago, and there are only three people including you and the attendant, don't live outside. Stay for me obediently, otherwise I will write to my uncle to sue you."

"Brother is becoming more and more domineering. Some friends from Jiangling also came to the capital to rush for the exam. At that time, my younger brother will often go out to meet and greet, and the time when he will return is uncertain. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."

"Convenience! How can it be inconvenient?" Zhang Zhe smiled, "My dear brother attends the literature meeting, and don't forget to be a brother. Let's go and return together, okay?"

Jiang Shangyang knew that Zhang Zhe was the one who didn't like to participate in literary conferences the least, but now he was afraid that it was all to help his sister keep an eye on him.He could not have wished for it more, with the presence of this famous future uncle, the Wenhui would be truly lively.

Leaking night deep palace.

The emperor wandered back and forth in the hall for about ten circles, and finally stopped in front of Sanfu.

"Huzi didn't go to the inn you arranged?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Mr. Xiaolang was left by Zhang Xinzhi to live in Zhuchi Xiaoyuan. The accompanying person came out to report that Zhang Xinzhi arranged for Mr. Xiaolang to live there before and after the exam."

The emperor nodded: "Yes, that's good. That Zhang family boy is a real talent. I'm afraid Huzi can learn a lot with him."

Sanfu said slowly again: "The person who reported back said that the letter was actually because he was afraid that Mr. Xiaolang would live outside and would hang out in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, saying that he wanted to help his sister look after Mr. Mr. The two of them The study room is far away."

"You bastard!" The emperor was full of anger, turned around and came to Sanfu again, "Our son has never been to that kind of place. But that Zhang Xinzhi has been there so many times! He There are quite a few famous prostitutes and concubines in the family! And you said you want to watch my Huzi?"

Sanfu lowered his head: "Your Majesty, it's fine if Zhang Xinzhi is really a romantic, at least he can bring Mr. Xiaolang to see the world. But we all know that Zhang Xinzhi's concubines are just false names. Except for him The eldest lady of the family, he doesn’t seem to love anyone. If our little man really learns exactly the same as Zhang Xinzhi.”

"He dares!" The emperor blew on his beard, "How can my descendants not spread out? Only guard his cousin? Don't even think about it!"

After a while, the emperor suddenly smiled.

"Go, pick ten good girls whose names I secretly left behind in the last draft, and send them from the palace to Jintai Garden. Then, tell someone to ask Zhang Xinzhi to tear down the Nanwu people's house. In the arena, secretly arrange for Huzi to be there, so that he can also get some credit. I will reward you!"

"promise!"
