"Are you going to leave or give way?" Zhang Ning said to the people in the carriage, and then looked back.High-speed update Wang Zhen is very good at this kind of small tricks, and he understood it at a glance, and hurriedly said: "You are an official, so go first."

Zhang Ning then asked the groom to lead the horse and continue on. When he reached the gate of Zhengjue Temple, he said to the groom, "Take the horse back first, and I will go in and burn incense sticks to get rid of bad luck."

There are monks in Zhengjue Temple, and you can also buy incense on the spot. The price is much more expensive than the market, but the pilgrims who pay money to the temple can be regarded as doing good deeds, so selling incense, candle oil and other things is also a major income of Zhengjue Temple.Zhang Ning took out some copper coins, bought some incense at random, lit it in the main hall and worshiped.

There were very few people in the temple. Around this time, the officials had not yet come to their duty, and ordinary people had their own affairs. It was the afternoon, and Zhang Ning only met two strange women who came to worship the Buddha.

He stayed in the temple for a while, and sure enough, he saw Wang Zhen walking in.Zhang Ning then walked forward along the eaves of the main hall and turned around the corner, waiting for Wang Zhen to come over, then whispered: "I just returned to Beijing, there may be factory guards watching, so be careful."

"Brother Ping'an is right." Wang Zhen nodded hurriedly, "What's the progress of leaving Beijing this time?"

After Wang Zhen finished speaking, he didn't hear any squeaks, so he went to look at Zhang Ning's face, only to see him drooping his head and frowning thinking about something.After a while, he reached into his sleeve pocket, took out a piece of paper and handed it over: "Hold this, you will understand after reading it, no need to elaborate."

Wang Zhen opened it out of curiosity, glanced at it, and blurted out, "Drafting the memorial...Brother Ping's handwriting? Is it the memorial you presented in the imperial city just now?"

Zhang Ning nodded: "Every word is correct, but this handwriting is rather sloppy, some words and sentences have been altered, so let's just wait and see."

Wang Zhen's face suddenly showed a strange red light: "Godfather said, what happened last time really depended on brother Pingan, otherwise we will suffer a foolish loss. Don't worry, godfather is a kind person and a sensible person , I must remember Brother Ping'an's love; even our family is not the ungrateful generation, who is good to us and who is bad to us, our family is very clear! And Brother Ping'an is the one who is good to our family!"

Zhang Ning was a little uncomfortable with talking so affectionately, mainly because he was bored with Wang Zhen in the first place.Zhang Ning said sternly: "Brother Wang, there is no need to say that. The only people who are really good to me in this world are your parents and the closest people. For other relationships, it is better to be light."

"It's the same reason, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water! Hehe!" Wang Zhen said happily.

When Zhang Ning heard it, he knew that he didn't understand the meaning of what he said. What he meant was that no one owes anyone in the world. It's all for profit. If you can make friends, once your interests conflict, you won't be able to tell clearly... Just like Hu Ying, she had a good relationship with Zhang Ning at the beginning, and they came together in the Yongle era. alliance; as a result, a case of incense ash, nothing left.

"It's inconvenient to stay here for a long time, so I won't say much more. Let's say goodbye first, and we'll meet later." Zhang Ning clasped his fists and said.Wang Zhen also hastily hid the piece of paper, and bowed his hand in return.

Zhang Ning walked home and found that the younger sister was not at home. Zhao Erniang said that she hadn't picked it up at Luo Yaoniang's house, but Xu Wenjun had already picked it up.

He went straight back to his bedroom, pulled up a chair and sat down.The road was bumpy, and when I came back, I stood "in a military posture" at the main gate of the imperial city for more than an hour, and I was really tired.But the mind is quite active, and there are too many things to worry about.

Zhao Erniang came in to make tea, and said a few words about the situation at home after he left, but seeing Zhang Ning's absent-minded look and tired face, she made a face behind her, and left him alone be still.

Concerned about everything, the clearest thing that came to mind was the situation of giving the draft memorial to Wang Zhen just now.At that time, he made a decision after going through his mind twice. This is actually a very serious matter, not because Zhang Ning made a hasty decision. He knew in his heart that no matter how long he weighed it, he would still do it in the end.

Wang Zhen is Wang Gou'er's confidant, and colluding with Wang Zhen is actually forming an alliance with Wang Gou'er. The internal and external collusion must be very serious if it is found out; and the original manuscript of the memorial was given to Wang Gou'er. In short, Zhang Ning was implicated and trapped.

He didn't regret doing this either, if he would have had a lot of scruples before leaving Beijing, but now he doesn't want to stay out of it.No matter whether you have that ability or not, try it first and then talk; now that Wang Gou'er is in crisis, he must be worried about poisoning Emperor Yongle to death, Zhang Ning's support for him at this time is a kind of investment, helping him tide over the difficulties is just the way to send charcoal in the snow At this time, Zhang Ning will have more energy in the future.

An ethereal voice sounded softly from the side: Are you blaming me for dragging you down?

He put his hand into his clothes and took out the anklet to see. The westward sunlight was just in front of the window, and the sunlight could emit five colors of light, which was very beautiful.When Zhang Ning looked closely, he saw that there were many faceted gemstones inlaid between the gold chains, so they could be colorful when exposed to sunlight.This chain must be a valuable thing, and worth a lot.

While looking at it, Zhang Ning thought about how it would look on his ankle. After a while, he turned around and rummaged in the box. From a locked box, he took out a diamond-shaped red silk bag, which was an auspicious charm.

He thought about it for a while, and felt that wearing this auspicious symbol on that chain was easy to preserve and also looked like a necklace.Sometimes he does do silly things when he's alone, and that's what he is doing now.He took out a small knife for peeling melons and fruits, made a hole in the silk bag, and fiddled with putting the chain on.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it was finished, he suddenly heard the sound of "creaking" the door was opened, and he hurriedly put the things into his arms, but unfortunately it was a bit late, and Luo Yaoniang had already seen it.Luo Yaoniang suddenly became angry, walked over and stretched out her hand and said, "Take it out."

Zhang Ning immediately remembered the scene on horseback before, angrily snatched Zhang Xiaomei's tube top and tore it hard, using up all her breastfeeding strength, and then threw it away like garbage.How could Zhang Ning be willing to hand in when he thought of this?He stared and said: "What's the use of you here, and why are you destroying good things for me? Are you a prodigal?"

Zhang Xiaomei also saw Zhang Ning's red silk bag at the back. Of course she knew who it belonged to, her face turned red immediately, and she looked down at her feet.Xu Wenjun looked over with sympathetic eyes.

Luo Yaoniang said angrily: "Who sent you off? Did you go out to meet some women outside? Take it out for me."

Zhang Ning lowered his face and said, "If it's the other way around, who has the final say in this family? Don't you even know the status of husband and wife?"

"I haven't passed the door yet, so you're like this!" Luo Yaoniang cried with a sad face, "Just hook up like this!" After saying that, she turned around and walked away.

The little girl glanced back, ran up quickly and grabbed Zhang Ning's hand with a soft catkin: "Brother, why didn't you explain to her? See if you've lost your popularity, hurry up and get back!"

As soon as Zhang Ning was reminded by her, he remembered that there was not only a chain but also a silk bag. Wasn't the silk bag given by my younger sister?This matter is completely clear.After thinking about it, he hurriedly chased him out, and just as he went out to the eaves, he saw Luo Yaoniang dawdling at the entrance of the cave, she happened to turn her head to look, and happened to meet Zhang Ning's eyes, so she turned her head and walked out quickly up.

Zhang Ning hurriedly lifted the hem of his official robe and ran a few steps, chased to the gate of the Moon Cave and shouted: "Stop!"

Luo Yaoniang really stopped, turned her head and said angrily: "You are still so fierce, could it be that I did something wrong?"

"The things are given by my little sister, if you don't believe me, you can ask her." Zhang Ning said.

Luo Yaoniang was stunned: "Why did she give you that thing? Don't you see each other every day in Beijing?"

Zhang Ning said: "Didn't I encounter a disaster after I took part in the township examination the year before last? I have been using the talisman that my little sister begged for to keep me safe. I just gave you the urgency to pay it off. It must have been torn up. Isn't my peace gone?"

Luo Yaoniang is such a big person, she is a woman after all, she can be coaxed in a few words, she calmed down, and said angrily: "You are in a hurry!" She paused and said: "You really... have always wanted to Looking at your little sister, have you ever thought of me when you have been away for a few months?"

Seeing that she had recovered, Zhang Ning said, "Let's go back to the yard and let people see us arguing like children, getting on and off for a while, so we won't be afraid of being laughed at."

Luo Yaoniang then followed, and when she entered the inner courtyard, she hugged his arm: "Did someone ask you, do you miss me?"

"I think..." Zhang Ning said helplessly, "Anyway, I will marry you sooner or later, it's all agreed, why are you making trouble?"

Luo Yaoniang said dissatisfied: "Now you are tired of others? Then why did you marry me?"

Zhang Ning rubbed his temples, and said with a headache: "Why are you tired of you? I always thought that Yao Niang was a very good woman, and she has already bowed to Master Yang. Don't we just go back on our word when we have nothing to do?"

"Just because of this?" Luo Yaoniang always felt dissatisfied, but after thinking about it, she said sadly, "You're right, it seems that marriage is like this."

Zhang Ning said patiently and kindly: "It's right to figure it out. In ancient times, men farmed and women weaved. Today, men dominate outside and women dominate inside. Everyone is like this. Just do their own responsibilities and live a good life. You can change it too." Once you change your temper and become so jealous, look at bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen, how many of them don’t have concubines? Our family wants to be independent, and I’m not a member of the Qing school.”

"I never allowed you to take a concubine!" Luo Yaoniang felt that she had been fooled.

Zhang Ning whispered: "People live with us, just like family members, and go in and out of the bedroom to make beds. What are you if you are not a concubine? The concubine's room will not take your position, so why worry about it."

"Okay..." Luo Yaoniang said, "I will take a step back, but in the future, such things must be approved by me. I think people are okay, so you can."

"It should be so." Zhang Ning said casually.
