Chapter 384: A good wife inside and a good friend outside

Since almost everyone in the mansion was in mourning, and it was already late, only the west corner door of the Zhang family was still open, with a dim plain paper lantern hanging above it. Both concierges were already yawning, but as long as they listened

When there was any movement, they would stick their heads out to watch from time to time, and then they would whisper again. Seeing that the snow was getting thicker and denser, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, the two couldn't help but stamp their feet to keep warm. In the end, they couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but sneak away.

Went to the nearby hut to keep warm.

However, they had only been lazy for a short while when a voice suddenly came from outside: "Where are all the people?"

Hearing this voice, the two concierges, one old and one young, suddenly jumped up and walked out of the warm room in three steps and two steps. The cold wind blew against their bodies that had just been warmed up, and then they saw the man in front of them.

With gloomy expressions, the two of them immediately trembled, then lowered their hands and shouted: "Master."

Since the eldest brother Zhang Xin and the third brother Zhang Zhuo are not here, Zhang You has been granted the title of earl, so everyone in the family has a tacit understanding to omit the word "er", and even the Dongfang family directly calls them Mrs. However, the latter

After all, Zhang You has been in charge of the housework for many years, but Zhang You rarely cares about these things. Seeing this man who had never been in the front yard after coming back, now appearing here, the two concierges were not only frightened but also a little curious.

"Since the door is not closed yet, please be more careful. If you let a thief in, can you afford it?"

Zhang You scolded him with a straight face, but no longer looked at the two obedient people, but stood in the snow with his hands behind his back. A confidant behind him held an umbrella for Zhang You, but he felt very confused in his heart.

. On weekdays, brothers Zhang Chao and Zhang Qi often come back late, but they have never seen the master take so much care of him. Why are he so agitated today and seem to be a different person? Besides, the third young master has already sent someone back to report the news.

Do you need me to wait here in person?

After standing for a full quarter of an hour, Zhang You turned around. Just as he was about to give some more instructions to the two shivering concierges, he suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from outside. He guessed it must be Zhang You.

When Yue came back, he quickly turned around and walked back to the door. He happened to see six or seven people dismounting in front of the door. The leader was indeed Zhang Yue. Seeing that Zhang Yue walked up quickly after seeing him, he nodded.

, waved to him, and walked side by side inside.

"Have you met the emperor?"

"Previously, a senior official came out to convey the emperor's oral instructions, asking me to go to Qianqing Palace tomorrow morning...Second uncle, I heard that the emperor ordered to stay away from court for three days?"

"It has always been the death of an imperial concubine or princess before the funeral is announced. This time, the emperor was not so much grieved as he was shocked and angry. If only the prince of Zhao died, who knew that the prince of Han would also die?

At this time, he is critically ill. However, the one who is most distressed to the emperor is the emperor's grandson. Although the prince only said that the emperor's grandson occasionally felt cold, so he had to temporarily postpone the trip, but Qin Tianjian said that the stars are not conducive to the emperor's grandson. If the emperor can control it,

It’s weird to live there.”

Although Zhang You is only the governor of the Zuojun Governor's Mansion, since Baoding Hou Mengying is now almost semi-retired, he is actually half the commander-in-chief. Although the transfer of military power belongs to the Ministry of War, they are the ones who actually lead the troops.

These nobles, coupled with their connections with the inner court, are more than twice as knowledgeable as those civil servants. He explained to Zhang Yue the reaction of the distinguished nobles after the news came out today, and after entering the second gate,

After walking along the corridor for a short distance, he stopped.

"The old lady just took a rest. Now that she is older, you don't have to go there tonight. Tomorrow is your second cousin's aunt's day, so you don't have time to go there. I have discussed with the old lady that it is cold today, and your wife

I'm heavy, so there's no need to go. When your second cousin is in a state of panic right now, he won't pick such a thorn. It's your elder brother's business, and I have to thank you."

"Second uncle, I really don't deserve this word of thanks. In fact, I should have reported this matter to you and grandma earlier."

"Not only do I want to thank you, but I also have to thank your wife. Because of your wife's persuasion, your sister-in-law could not help but be virtuous. After coming back that day, she said a few words that made that bastard feel ashamed. Now the couple at least no longer

It's lukewarm and lukewarm. Maybe there will be some improvement."

Thinking of this, Zhang You couldn't help but feel quite satisfied. Although Uncle Xiangcheng stayed in Nanjing, Li Yun's temper was not such that he would bring his family over to make a fuss, but it was always bad to have no peace at home. At this moment,

He had long ago thrown the so-called Zhang Chao's wife out of sight. He didn't even bother to think about the origin of that woman. The topic turned to the sacred mission Zhang Yue had received this time. After asking a few questions,

Knowing that Liu Sheng had mentioned something before, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

"This is not a war, carefulness comes first. I'm just worried that you might have done something wrong in a moment of impatience, but Marquis Anyuan is still considerate."

After parting ways with Zhang You, Zhang Yue went straight back to his west courtyard. As soon as he entered the main room, a rush of hot air hit his face. He couldn't help but his nose itched and he sneezed several times. Such a commotion was made.

Qiu Hen, who was curled up on a chair and fell asleep with a royal blue cloak, suddenly woke up. Seeing that it was Zhang Yue, she jumped up quickly, threw the cloak aside, and stepped forward to replace Zhang Yue quickly.

Yue untied the cloak and found that it was made of two pieces, inside and outside. She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Take this one out and have it starched tomorrow. I'll return it to Mr. Minze in person when I'm free."

At this time, Du Wan also came out of the house with Hu Huo's support. Hearing Zhang Yue's instructions, he couldn't help laughing and said: "I just thought you didn't have this when you went out in the morning. It turned out to be the kindness of Bachelor Da Shen. I just saw the snow falling in the sky.

It's getting colder and colder, and I got the message that you sent someone back. The old lady was worried that you wouldn't be able to come back for a while. She originally planned to have someone send you clothes and snacks, but I persuaded her not to. I said to the old lady, you

The thing you did this time is already conspicuous, and there are so many people paying attention to you. The only disadvantage is that everyone is looking at you with suspicion. If you can't come back tonight, you can send it over quietly tomorrow morning."

"You are right not to let people go. Among the many officials who came out of the left gate of Chang'an at that time, at least nine out of ten were staring at me. It was Mr. Minze who asked Brother Ningqing to undress and give me a gift.

, if you look back, you won’t cause others to comment.”

After Zhang Yue finished speaking, he took the hot towel from Qiu Hen and wiped it on his face. After putting down the towel, he saw that Du Wan's body was becoming more and more pregnant, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hold the other side of his body.

He raised his arm and asked: "It's already late, why don't you go to bed earlier? If I don't come back tonight, why don't you wait another night?"

"Who's waiting for you? I'm waiting for Xiao Wu!" Seeing Zhang Yue's helpless expression of misunderstanding his feelings, Du Wan couldn't help but smile, "I've already mentioned it to Hu Bo, and I'll wait until you reach 3:00 pm at most.

, I went to sleep if I didn’t come back. I originally took Qiuhen inside to do some sewing, but she said she wanted to wait for you outside, so she fell asleep not long after, and it was Amber who came out to cover her with a cloak."

"I'm just taking a nap when I'm tired..."

Qiu Hen's face was slightly red, and after he replied in a nonchalant manner, he glanced at Du Wan uneasily. Seeing her looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile, he quickly took the remaining water from the basin and poured it out, but it was

The old man didn't come in for a long time. So, Hu Hui helped Du Wan to sit down in the inner room and found an excuse to avoid going there. Only the husband and wife were left in the room.

"Although the princess lives in the palace, all the news is that the princess's palace is transferred from there. Someone came over there in the afternoon and said that the princess's wet nurse Ying mother was sick. As a result, Xiaowu went there in the afternoon and came back

I came back with news - the emperor issued an edict this morning to summon King Zhou to Beijing in February next year. Xiaowu and Dr. Feng went to the British Palace in the evening and probably won't come back. I couldn't sleep even if I went to bed early.

That’s why I’m waiting for you.”

"I knew that the good wife was indeed waiting for me." Zhang Yue smiled and immediately paid attention to the first half of what he said, "Did the emperor tell the princess personally about summoning King Zhou to the capital, or did the princess find out about it?

?Did you say that this was for someone to accuse the King of Zhou of treason?"

"The emperor himself told the princess. Now that the matter has been clearly announced, there is no need to hide it from her. The emperor has also made it clear that someone has reported the matter. The princess also reminded that the situation has been very serious recently, so you should be cautious in everything.

Some." Du Wan saw Zhang Yue's expression was wrong and asked quickly, "Why, did you get other news?"

At this moment, Zhang Yue suddenly stood up: "I said that I always feel uneasy, so that's what happened! How could the princess, a very measured person, rashly let a eunuch pass a message to the palace?

Meeting me in private? She has a good wife inside and a good friend outside. What kind of temperament does she have? I should have thought of it..."

In the main room outside, Qiu Hen had just sneaked in. At this time, she was leaning against the gap in the door curtain to peek inside. When she saw Zhang Yue suddenly stood up, she was afraid that the secret would be revealed, so she quickly turned around and wanted to sneak away, but she didn't want to face him.

Faced with an angry face, she was startled and quickly pulled Amber up. When she was in the west suite, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately no one saw it, otherwise it would be over! Amber, do you need to be so scary?"

Seeing Qiuhen's face full of displeasure, Amber couldn't help but remind her: "If you really want to know what the young master and young mistress are saying, can't you just say something and go in? Even if they are talking about business, they usually don't avoid you and me."

"Who wants to listen to their business?" Qiu Hen sat down, kneading the corners of his clothes and muttered, "Sister Lingxi asked the old lady to call her back. Who knows when it will be our turn..." As she said this, she suddenly raised her head.

He raised his head and looked at Hu Hu seriously, "Hu Hu, do you think that when Miss Meng's three-year period of filial piety is over, will the young master marry her as well? Also, the young master and the young mistress often talk about the princess.

The thing, could it be..."

"Sister Qiu Hen!" Amber was really angry and funny at this time, so he had to drink her down in one sip, "You think too much!"

"How can I think too much!" Qiuhen stood up unconvinced, but stared at Hu Hue and said word by word, "Linglong came in to see me a few days ago, and she also talked about the older girls at home.

Many people from outside come to ask for a match, Amber, ask yourself, are you really willing to marry those vulgar guys? Linglong also mentioned that many people have inquired about her father-in-law, the tall butler.

How can you redeem someone from our house? Some people say he is your relative."

Qingzhi knew that although Qiuhen was straightforward, he would not deliberately stab himself on this matter. Amber's face could not help but gradually change. He thought over and over again about his behavior in the recent period, and was sure that he had never even stepped out of the second door.
