Chapter 302 Fortunately, I have good friends

Although it was most appropriate to send Fangling, who was drunk and unconscious, directly home, Zhang Yue thought about it and decided to send him to the house in Xipailou Lane for the time being. It is difficult for an upright official to interrupt household affairs, even if he was concerned about Fangling's

No matter how much the father and brother have opinions, it is not appropriate to meddle in the Fang family's housework. Therefore, it is better to hope that Wan Shijie and Xia Ji, the two most optimistic guys, can persuade Fang Ling, or at the worst, they can gather the three stooges together.

Think of a way.

At that moment, he sent Lien Sheng to hire a car and drove Fang Ling straight to his Sanjin courtyard in Xipailou Lane. When he got off the car at the door, he happened to see someone going out. As soon as the two cars met, he recognized this still person.

The shy young man was Fang Jing, who once stayed in the British government's mansion. He was about to say hello, but Fang Jing stared at him with wide eyes for a while, then suddenly turned around and ran inside, mouthing something.

He started shouting loudly.

"Brother Zhang, your third brother is here!"

Zhang Yue, who was originally confused, finally understood what was going on when he heard this sentence. He and Lian Sheng helped Faang Ling enter the door, and he saw Zhang Jiu who hurriedly walked out to greet him. He used to love luxury the most.

The little guy has become much more restrained now. He only wears a half-worn locust blue cocoon silk robe, and his hair is tied with a red velvet rope. If you just look at his handsome appearance, he looks more like an ordinary and well-off family.

My precious son, but there are still two strong followers in the yard.

"Why is the third brother here? Hey, isn't this Brother Fang?"

"Fourth brother, Lao Wan and Xiao Xia are not here?"

Hearing Zhang Yue's question, Fang Jing quickly answered: "Brother Wan and Brother Xia are both at the Hanlin Academy. They take one day off every five days and live in a courtyard outside Donghua Gate on weekdays. They were there the day before yesterday.

I just left, and I won’t be back until the day after tomorrow. Does Brother Zhang want to find a place for him to sober up? I’ll ask Uncle Wen to boil some water!”

Seeing that Fang Jing was about to leave, Zhang Yue hurriedly called him out. Looking around, he immediately saw some clues. He couldn't help but frown and asked: "So, Lao Wan and Xiao Xia have been studying hard in the Hanlin Academy all day long.

You can only come back once every five days, but you are the only one who lives here on weekdays? Damn it, it’s all my fault, these two guys should tell me, how can you do it without anyone taking care of you at such a young age?”

When Fang Jing saw Zhang Yue asking questions, he was still a little confused at first. When he saw that Zhang Yue seemed angry, he was startled and hurriedly waved his hands and explained: "Third brother, I am the one who wants to live here. Although the British government said

It's good, but it's too deserted there. The servants always stick to the rules when talking and doing things, and it always seems like they're separated by a layer. Brother Wan and Brother Xia always bring me a lot of good things every time they come back, and Brother Zhang also comes over from time to time to teach me how to read.

I can read and often bring snacks from home. I feel very good here."

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhang Yue was stunned, but Lian Sheng, who was holding Fangling's other arm, was also stunned. His four eyes were staring at Zhang Jiu's face, as if there were flowers carved on it.

Jiu didn't expect that Fang Jing would spit out all these words at once, and Zhang Yue looked a little embarrassed, so he could only say honestly: "I'm just bored from studying, because it was you who agreed, third brother, and grandma also

You want me to socialize with more people, so I will come here every once in a while, and sometimes Brother Wan and Brother Xia will take me and Brother Fang out to visit friends when they come back."

At this moment, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel that he was right to entrust his people to Wan Shijie and Xia Ji. Although these two guys liked to joke, they were indeed reliable friends. At that moment, he ordered Zhang Jiu to ask someone to boil water.

, and Fang Jing refused to be idle, and trotted to the west wing to make a clean room. After the drunk Fang Ling was settled, and asked Lian Sheng to keep watch, Zhang Yue came to the outside and saw the two men.

A young man of about the same age was standing there with his back to him, talking, his heart moving and making no sound.

"Xiao Fang, has your elder brother really been here before?"

"Well, I don't know how he found out that I live here. He gave me a big bag of clothes, all made of good materials such as cocoon, silk, crepe, etc., and also gave me a bag of silver. I asked him where he is now,

As a result, he said that he was now working for a big shot and that he was going to Jiangnan. He also said that if he gets rich in the future, he would pick me up... My eldest brother has always been strong, so I'm really worried."

"I think you'd better tell Third Brother about this. Third Brother is always smart and might be able to give you some advice."

"But the eldest brother said some nonsense in front of me, why should the British father-in-law regret it in the future... Since I moved out of the British government's mansion and lived here with my eldest brother Wan, eldest brother Xia and the others, I realized that the British father-in-law actually treated me

Very good, but as soon as I defended myself like this, my elder brother scolded me for forgetting my roots, and then turned around and left, and I couldn't catch up with him!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yue naturally understood what was going on, and simply coughed lightly. Seeing Fang Jing and Zhang Ji both turning their heads, he smiled and said, "I heard everything you just said. Fang Jing,

Your elder brother is just saying angry words. Don’t take it to heart all the time. Just study hard and do your duty. By the way, has your elder brother ever told you who the big shot is and why he went to Jiangnan?"

Fang Jing is only thirteen years old now. He has been protected by his elder brother since he was a child. Even if he encounters big changes, he is still protected by Mrs. Wang. After moving here, he has always been taken care of, and he will naturally not think about it when something happens.

So much. With Zhang Yue's comfort, he immediately felt a lot more at ease, and when he heard the question, he told the whole story.

"The eldest brother just mentioned that he is now taking care of the noble man's property. The eldest brother was very good at settling accounts in the past, and once worked as a bookkeeper for a pawn shop, which was enough to pay for our travel to Beijing, so now he is very much used.

.As for the reason why he went to Jiangnan, he just mentioned that the nobleman’s foundation was originally in Nanjing and that he wanted to send a proper person to take care of it. The eldest brother volunteered. No matter how much I asked, the eldest brother refused to tell me.”

Although this was just vague information, and where Fang Rui worked was not a big deal, out of caution, Zhang Yue still wrote down Fang Jing's words one by one, and then changed the topic. He sat there leisurely.

After talking for a while, Zhang Jiu and Fang Jing brought the window textbook for advice. He had to do his best to be a good brother. This lasted a whole afternoon. Seeing that it was getting late, the drunken Faang Ling finally woke up.

However, he refused to go home no matter how hard he tried to persuade him. He tried to stay here for a few days, but in the end Zhang Yue had no choice but to agree.

At the end of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, it is naturally winter in Beijing, so the sky gets dark very early. After opening the curtains and leaving the main room, Zhang Yue felt a chill blowing towards his face. When he looked up, he saw dots of snow floating in the sky.

Zhuzi. At this time, he immediately regretted that he should not have rushed to send away the hired carriage. He hurried outside with Zhang Jiu. He shrank his neck and was about to send Lien Sheng to fetch the horse, but saw that the originally empty carriage

There was a car parked in front of the door, and the driver looked very familiar.

"Fourth Young Master, it's cloudy and snowy today and it's hard to ride a horse. The old lady asked the younger one to pick you up. Hey, Third Young Master is here too. What a coincidence!"

Knowing that Mrs. Gu was worried about Zhang Jiu being frozen in the snow, Zhang Yue nodded and pulled Zhang Jiu into the carriage, and ordered Lian Sheng to tie the two horses to the back of the carriage. The cold wind was howling outside, and the corners of the carriage were

There was a small heater inside, which was sheltered from the wind and warm. Zhang Yue often discussed with Du Wan until late at night a few nights ago, and they were rushing back and forth again today. Even though the carriage was bumpy during the ride, he still didn't know what was going on.

Fell asleep.

Zhang Jiu sat with his arms crossed for a while, when he suddenly heard a bang. He turned his head and saw that Zhang Yue, who was sleeping, had his head bumped against the wall of the carriage. Even so, he still didn't wake up. Thinking of what he heard a few days ago

The girls said that the lights in Zhang Yue's yard would be on until the second or third watch every day, and he immediately bit his lip.

Although there are some things that his grandmother has never told him, he often goes out now, and naturally there are many places to go and inquire. There are rebellions in Jiaozhi right now. This year alone, four magistrates and prefectures were killed, and even the generals who countered the rebellion were killed.

There was damage. Even though the British Duke Zhang Fu entrusted the general guarding Cochin with Fengcheng Hou Li Bin to take care of him, his father was still in danger.

Everyone said that the emperor was majestic and serious, but he had never seen it before. If he had the talent of his third brother Zhang Yue and the opportunity to meet the saint like Zhang Yue, would he also be able to plead for the emperor's pardon?

Father Zhang Xin?

"parking!"

One of the two brothers was dozing off, and the other was in a daze. When they heard the shout, they all woke up. Zhang Yue didn't even care about the dryness of his eyes and opened the curtain directly. When he was about to ask a question, he saw the carriage stopped.

The one he saw was an officer in uniform wearing a saber. Although the sky was covered with snow and the sky was dark, he still recognized that this was the street in front of Zhang's house. Apart from the officer in front of him, at a glance, there was something strikingly obvious.

Countless guards stood motionless in the snow like nails.

With his heart beating wildly, he swallowed hard, then calmed down, and immediately jumped out of the carriage. Seeing that the guard took a step back with a wary face, and pressed the sword with his right hand, he quickly identified himself: "The next Zhang

Yue, the Zhang family, who lives in this alley with his brother-in-law, has just returned from a visit to the outside, dare I ask what is going on with this sudden road closure?"

"Zhang Yue?" The officer looked Zhang Yue up and down, and suddenly recognized him. The hand holding the sword immediately dropped, because he smiled and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Zhang, but I didn't recognize him. The emperor is incognito today.

I have visited several residences of meritorious officials such as Baoding Marquis Mansion, Taining Marquis Mansion, Anyuan Marquis Mansion, etc. The reason why this street is closed now is because the emperor has just arrived at Wuan Marquis Mansion. Although I recognize you, the security guard cannot be ignored. I forgive you.

I have to keep you for a while, please ask the coachman to stop the carriage here."

Zhang Yue was shocked when he learned that the emperor went to Wu'anhou Mansion next door to the Zhang family incognito. However, he didn't dare not believe it because he explained it so clearly. Therefore, after the officer said this, how could he say anything?

After he got into the carriage, he told the driver to follow the officer's instructions. Just as he was deep in thought, Zhang Jiu next to him suddenly asked in a low voice: "Third brother, since the emperor has arrived in Wu'an

Hou Mansion, will he come to our house?"

Seeing Zhang Jiu's expectant look, Zhang Yue couldn't help but dampen the little guy's interest - the people Zhu Di visited today were all those who had made great contributions to the title. If the Zhang family were replaced by the British government, the emperor would definitely go in and sit there, but
