Prime Minister

Chapter 97
On the third day, Zhang Yue, He Qi went to the bookstore again.

He Qi thought that he was a little too eager yesterday, and he seemed to be underestimated by Wu Dalangjun, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

As soon as He Qi saw Zhang Yue sitting down, he started to write his history without any distractions.

He Qi understands that this historical policy must not only have something to say, but also be able to cite scriptures.Zhang Yue combined the historical materials he had copied the previous two days with other books in the library, and began to write articles directly.

He Qi couldn't help but say: "Sanlang, do you want me to help you?"

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother He. I'll write it first. If I can't, I'll ask you Brother He."

"Okay, Saburo, don't be polite to me."

He Qi thought for a while and then said, "Sanlang, do you know the Seventeenth Mother in the Wu residence?"

Zhang Yue asked, "Seventeen? Go seventeen?"

He Qi was choked for a moment by Zhang Yue's words, and then explained patiently, "This is the ranking of the Wu family."

"I see."

"My grandfather was cut off his membership due to crime, but he was also a seventh-rank official. Is there an eunuch in the three generations of Saburo?"

Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "No."

He Qidao: "Then Saburo knows that the Wu family is of such a family, what kind of people want to marry their daughters?"

Zhang Yue subconsciously reached out and touched his face left and right when he heard the words and asked, "Does it look like a handsome man like me?"

Under He Qi's anger, he almost started to beat the case. You don't know anything, what are you doing here?Are you really here to copy the book?
But Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Brother He, if you keep asking like this, I think you're talking about me."

He Qi laughed, this person is not very good, and his face is quite thick.

But seeing Zhang Yue lowering his head and writing Shi Ce again, He Qi didn't know what to say, this person really didn't know anything.

Chatting with He Qi only delayed Zhang Yue for a moment. At this time, he already had a rough idea of ​​the first historical policy.

Although He Qi said that the three historical policies were just a passing scene, Zhang Yue still had to write them carefully. After all, this will be tested in the palace exam in the future, and the emperor will personally ask questions.

Unconsciously, Zhang Yue wrote a day of work.

Today, there is no beautiful maid to add fragrance, and Wu Dalangjun did not invite them to a drink. Instead, He Qi on the side has been restless.

On this day, there were guests at the Wu Mansion.

Zhang Yue's second aunt, Mrs. Yang, came to visit with the Zhang family's famous poster.

"Such a high-quality Duan Inkstone is truly ashamed." Fan said with a smile.

Yang said with a smile: "I heard that Dalangjun is studying poetry and books, and he will go to Beijing for the autumn test next year. I think it will be useful. I will use this inkstone to congratulate Dalangjun on the autumn test."

Mrs. Fan ordered the maid to accept the gift, and then smiled: "It's not that easy to hide dragons and crouching tigers in the Kaifeng mansion, but it should be no problem to make the young master Jinke nomination."

Mrs Yang smiled proudly and said, "Brother Dun is now in the clan for the seventh time. It just so happens that Jinke is also in Bianjing and went to Kaifeng Mansion for the test together with Dalangjun. I wonder when you will leave for Beijing?"

"Let's wait until the spring flowers bloom!" Fan said with a smile.

"That should be in time. My brother Dun just got engaged to the Zhang family in Luoyang when he was a child, and it was decided at..."

At this time, I heard footsteps.

Mr. Yang saw a woman in a goose-yellow shirt walking towards him.

"This is?"

Fan shi smiled and said, "This is the seventeenth mother of my family, who happened to be here to meet my in-laws."

The seventeenth mother bowed to Yang and said, "I have seen the lady of the Zhang family."

Yang was a little surprised, but also a little flattered, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the daughter of Wu's house to be here, she is really a beautiful person. I have heard that the seventeen girls of Wu's house are nationalistic and knowledgeable. Now It really lives up to its name at first sight!"

Seventeen Niang smiled and said, "Ms. Zhang is wrong. Yes, I just passed by. I heard that Young Master Ling's marriage is the Zhang family in Luoyang, and the in-law's family is Zhang Yu's envoy who is currently serving as a servant of the imperial family."

Mrs Yang said: "Exactly, Seventeen Mothers did not go out of the boudoir, but she knew everything about the officials of the court."

Seventeen Niang smiled and said, "I don't dare to be, this is a good marriage, but I don't know how much dowry the Zhang family has accompanied? I have no other intentions, it's like Zhang Qilang Jun who has passed the jinshi examination, he is naturally high. People are better than before, and I am not the same as in the past, I am a person who is easy to inquire."

Yang shi reluctantly smiled and said, "The Zhang family is well-off, so we can give as much as we want, and we don't look at them."

Mrs. Yang drank some tea and went out. Mrs. Fan said to Shiqi Niang, "What's wrong with you today? Although the Zhang family is not doing well now, it's not good to offend people with a gun and a stick!"

Seventeen Niang said: "The lord of the Zhang family gave up the daughter of the county governor and the [-]-unit dowry, and turned his head to marry the daughter of the imperial court attendant. I don't ask about this, and there are others coming. Question. Right and wrong always have to be in the hearts of the people, is it that the daughter's family bullied them so plainly?"

Mrs Fan said: "You can't say that, that Yasi's daughter is also at fault. And it's not our turn to take care of other people's affairs. I said that you can't tolerate the sand in your eyes, so you really need to change it. ."

Seventeen Niang said: "I know my sister-in-law, but I'm just angry for no reason. It won't be like this next time."

And after leaving Wu Mansion.

Sitting on the carriage, Yang looked a little thoughtful.

Mother Xu said on the side, "Although this Wu Mansion is of the prime minister's family, these seventeen ladies are nothing more than concubines. Madam will find an opportunity in the future to return to this tone."

Mrs. Yang said: "For a prominent family like the Wu family, people say that it is a bowl of water, and there is little difference between a concubine and a direct descendant. Besides, among the four powerful families in Pucheng, the two surnames Zhang and Wu are the most powerful. As for me, Yang, The Huang family, relying on marriage with the Zhang family all these years, still maintain the appearance of a prominent family, but what about the Wu family? Except for the previous generation, the children and daughters of the family are now married to the famous family of Jingzhao."

"The daughters of the ruling Wu were married to the Han family (Han Zongyan, the son of Han Yi), the Pang family (Pang Yuanying, the son of Pang Ji), and the Ren family (Ren Yi, the son of Ren Bu). Marrying the prime minister's family, although she is a concubine, I think the Wu family also has plans to marry her into the Jingzhao family. I don't want to turn my face in order to avoid causing trouble to officials and Brother Dun in the future, but it's not my own breath. "

"Of course, Brother Dun, we are indeed in the wrong. I can't cover up for him because I prefer him. The Seventeen Lady is right. I appreciate her uprightness and magnanimity."

Xu's mother said: "Then Yasi has done a lot of evil for a long time, and it is his own fault for such a thing. Now we only need to make up for the debt of his family's Dalang Saburo for Brother Dun, and that's it."

Yang said: "Make it up? How to make it up? This chapter Saburo didn't mean to come to Beijing with us at all. He said it euphemistically before, but he couldn't bear to lose face as my second aunt."

"Like his brother, he is arrogant and tight, and I really have nothing to do with him. But I am biased. I regard Brother Dun as my own son, and Saburo as a nephew. If not, it is fine. Helped the two brothers to resolve this matter. Now it's up to fate!"

Xu's mother said, "Could it be that Brother Dun really doesn't care about their brothers?"

Yang said: "I asked Brother Dun before, how about he wrote a letter? How about not writing a letter? They are afraid they will blame themselves for the rest of their lives, so it is better not to write, let them!"

"It's a big deal to admit a mistake, and it's over. Is there still an overnight feud between brothers?"

Mrs Yang said, "Brother Dun grows up so big, have you ever heard of him admitting wrongdoing to others?"

Xu's mother said, "It's a pain in the ass, ma'am."

Yang shi said sadly: "It's okay to suffer, I'm afraid that I will see my sister under Huangquan in the future. Stop talking, let's go!"

Saying that, Yang's carriage left Wu Mansion.

Zhang Yue finished writing three historical strategies, while He Qi didn't even pretend.

However, after Zhang Yue finished copying this day, he went home and did not come back to Wu Mansion.As a thank you, Zhang Yue also bought a book collection that was missing in the Wufu Bookstore as a gift.When Zhang Shi knew about this, he was quite critical. He felt that a noble family like the Wu family lacked things like you.

Zhang Yue turned around and handed the three historical policies to Zhang Youzhi for revision and review.

Zhang You directly taught Zhang Yue how to write historical policies in this way, and after revising these three historical policies, he praised Zhang Yue again.

Years passed.

The county school is now open.

In addition to visiting several times before and after the Chinese New Year, Yang's gift was a lot better.

After fifteen, the Yang family will go to the capital.

Zhang Yue's family came to see them off.

"Sanlang, you really thought about it, why don't you go to Beijing with your second aunt?"

In front of the family, Mr. Yang asked Zhang Yue like this.

Zhang Yue said: "I really thank the second aunt for your kindness. I have thought about it. I still don't want to go this time. It's not that the other is just reluctant to leave the house. On that day, I will definitely find you, okay?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Yang wept and said, "Although Saburo said he wouldn't go to Beijing with me, I was still very happy. Your second aunt shows that you don't think of me as an outsider in your heart."

Zhang Yue lowered his head and said, "Second aunt, my brother and I both regard you as a half-mother. Your brother has always mentioned your kindness to our family over the years, and our family will remember it for the rest of our lives."

Mr. Yang nodded and said: "With Saburo's words, I don't think I came here in vain. Saburo, you are an ambitious man, and I won't say much more. Remember that you said this, If you have my second aunt in your heart, you must come to me when you go to Beijing."

Zhang Yue said, "Don't worry, Second Aunt, I will definitely come to you."

Immediately, Mrs. Yang showed a relieved look, and then said goodbye to Zhang Shi, Mrs. Yu, and Zhangqiu one by one, and finally got into the carriage.

Zhang Yue's family drove all the way for several miles, and finally watched Yang's carriage heading north, and finally disappeared from sight.

"Sanlang, let's go!" Zhang Shi wiped his tears, and was about to greet Zhang Yue, but saw him looking at the north in a trance.

"What is Saburo looking at?"

Zhang Yue looked at Xianxia Ridge like a screen that blocked his sight to the north, and suddenly sighed in his heart: "Brother, you said that we will have the opportunity to cross these mountains to the north and go to the capital in our lifetime. Is it?"

Zhang Shi smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? If the third brother has this idea, let's go over the mountains to see it someday."

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Okay, not only will I go, but I will also take our family to see it!"
