Chapter 422: Slip away and borrow someone

As he had just arrived at the right gate of Chang'an, he met the people sent by Zhu Ning who were waiting there. He learned that Du Wan had been waiting outside all morning and did not find a place to take shelter until the heavy rain poured down. Zhang Yue was naturally surprised and rushed over immediately.

.Although there is Feng Yuanming, a master of Xinglin, and Xiao Wu, a future famous female doctor, pregnant women in Liujia will still be considered a high-risk group in future generations, let alone now. It was easy to confirm that Du Wan was not caught in the rain.

It was nothing serious. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and sighed again.

"If someone hadn't stepped forward at the critical moment today, I would have been stuck in the rain until dark to no avail... sneeze!"

Hearing this loud sneeze, Zhu Ning couldn't help laughing. He shook his head and said, "Look at you, you've almost turned into a mud monkey. How can you still have the dignity of a court official? Just ask Wan'er, don't be busy now."

Explain what's going on at the Meridian Gate! If you get cold, Wan'er may have to settle the score with me... It's too late to go to the clothing store now. I remember that my car was often borrowed by my fourth brother for outings. There was something in the box like

There are several sets of casual clothes. Xiaowu, go to the car and take a look, and if you have any, bring them over."

At this time, the rain outside had lightened up. Several palace guards had just borrowed dry clothes directly from the shopkeeper and boss. Du Wan originally planned to let Zhang Yue change casually, but after listening to Zhu Ning's instructions, he also

She had no choice but to let her go. Xiaowu walked out with an oily silk umbrella in a hurry, and soon came back with a red silk bag. Zhu Ning nuzzled at a guard, gesturing for him to accompany him.

He asked Zhang Yue to go in and find a room to change into quickly.

Unable to resist Zhu Ning's kindness, Zhang Yue had no choice but to go in, wipe off the water on his body and head, and change into another suit. Fortunately, this was really an ordinary scholar's casual clothes, with a straight skirt of sky blue silk, which looked quite comfortable when worn on his body.

It fits. Although he is not afraid of such a little bit of wind and rain now, he spent three or four hours in the palace without eating a grain of rice or water. At this time, he was inevitably hungry, so he sat down next to Du Wan.

His stomach growled unsatisfactorily. At this time, Xiao Wu handed over a box with a smile.

"Sister knew that my brother-in-law would be delayed in the palace for a long time today, so she specially asked the kitchen to prepare it when we went out today."

"Fortunately you are thoughtful, now I am so hungry that I could eat a cow!"

Zhang Yue, who was really hungry, naturally would not disappoint this intention. He opened the lid of the box and saw that the four small compartments inside were filled with his favorite snacks. He couldn't help but ate them to his heart's content. Fengjuan Canyun finally filled his stomach half full.

When he was full, Xiao Wu brought another cup of hot tea. He drank it all in one go, wiped his hands with the snow-white handkerchief Du Wan handed him, and then let out a long sigh, and then talked about today in detail.

That heated debate in the rain.

Although Zhu Ning and Du Wan had never seen it in person, they only listened to Zhang Yue's narration, and they still understood the scene where they were fighting with each other and refused to give in. When Zhang Yue said that he said what he had planned to do,

However, the emperor was not moved at all. Even when the prince's plea was in vain, Zhu Ning glanced at Du Wan sheepishly and quickly asked.

"Then who comes to the rescue in the end?"

"It's Mr. Xia Yuan Jixia, the Minister of Household Affairs."

Zhang Yue recalled what happened when the Crown Prince and Grandson escorted Zhu Di back to the palace and the group of science and education officials left angrily. He couldn't help but admire the old minister who had been in charge of the Ministry of Revenue for more than ten years. Seeing Zhu Ning and Du Wan both

With a careful expression on his face, he continued: "Afterwards, except for Mr. Yang Shiqi and Mr. Jian Yi, several other ministers complained that Mr. Xia should not relent at this time. However, Mr. Xia said that they, the ministers, were deeply concerned.

Trusted by the emperor, even if they admit they have made mistakes, the emperor will take credit for their hard work and will not incriminate them. Now that Xiao Yi, the head of the Ministry of Rites, has died, and if another official is severely punished for this, the damage to the country and the court will be great.

.It was because of his words that the few people who glared at me after the emperor left calmed down."

"The officials wanted to use the fire in the three palaces to get the emperor to accept their opinions. The ministers took advantage of the fire to make the emperor angry and wanted to eliminate dissidents. A simple fire turned into a dispute over political opinions.

Then it became a tool to eliminate dissidents, which is really boring! If you really see the faces of those adults, the latecomers will be extremely disappointed!"

Although Zhu Ning was cautious in the palace, she was surrounded by close friends when she went out, so she spoke straightforwardly. At this time, she knocked down many people with a stick, so she stood up and said: "Okay, okay.

, the rain has stopped now. With such an incident happening today, I’m afraid not many people in the Yamen can work with peace of mind. Zhang Yue, you might as well go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to ask for leave and spend time with Wan’er at home. It’s better to face her than

Be more cheerful in front of those hateful-looking people. Wan'er will be sent home by me, so hurry up and come back quickly. You won't be able to steal even half a day's leisure, so don't waste it!"

Faced with such a proposal that he liked deeply, Zhang Yue naturally had no objection at all. However, after he arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of War wearing such a sky-blue straight jacket, he was told that Fang Bin, the Minister of the Ministry of War, had caught a cold in the rain and had already

He took leave and went home. So, he asked for leave from Zuo Shilang for the same reason, and then returned to the department room to explain his official duties. Shi Shiran walked out of the door in the envious eyes of a group of subordinate officials. Seeing him leaving the Ministry of War headquarters

In the courtyard, several officials holding documents began to whisper.

"Who doesn't know that those scientific officials are the best at talking nonsense, but this time they are in disgrace."

"The emperor has already been biased, so that's all. But Zheng Weihuan was turned pale by Zhang Yuanjie's refutation. In the end, he still begged the emperor not to blame the official. This time, the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate can be said to have been shameless.

Everything is lost inside!"

"I don't feel ashamed to speak for the benefit of the country... No wonder Xia Shangshu would stand up and speak for Zhang Yuanjie. I have long heard that Xia Shangshu of the Ministry of Accounts and Lv Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites both asked the emperor for someone, but later they turned out to be

When we arrive at the Ministry of War, there are so many military attachés in the Zhang family, and Fang Shangshu probably has a headache with such a subordinate."

Spring rain is as precious as oil. When such a spring rain made the ministers extremely embarrassed, it moistened the flowers and plants on the dirt road to be bright and watery. Zhang Yue did not bother to appreciate these wild flowers and weeds, which looked bright with a little sunshine and dew.

Walking on the muddy road, he turned into Wu'anhou Hutong at lightning speed, dismounted at the west corner gate and hurried inside, but happened to bump into the butler Gao Quan.

"The third young master is back? Princess Chenliu just sent the young mistress back. I ordered someone to use a sliding pole to take her to the upper room in the north courtyard. This morning, the British father Zhang Fu and Mrs. Wang came to visit the old lady, so they stayed

After lunch, everyone was chatting with each other in the upper room of the North Courtyard. Speaking of May 15th, it was the old lady’s sixty-ninth birthday, and everyone was talking about taking advantage of the old lady’s seventieth birthday to have a good time.

Woolen cloth!"

"I understand. I'll be there for a while. Just don't let anyone else go."

Zhang Yue naturally knew that next month would be his grandmother's birthday, and he had already discussed with Du Wan what gift to send, so he just smiled at this moment. However, although Mrs. Wang often comes here, the British Duke Zhang Fu has also come since returning from the Xuan Mansion.

I just came to see you during the holidays. Today is neither a holiday nor a big day for anyone in the family. How could you suddenly come together as a husband and wife in such high spirits? So, after looking at the mud splattered on the hem of his clothes, he knew to go straight over to see you.

The man was really disrespectful, so he quickly returned to his own yard.

After opening the curtain and entering the main room, he opened his mouth to call someone, but he saw the door curtain next to him move, and it was Lingxi who was wearing dark green armor and holding a bundle of things and came out. Because after she was called back by Mrs. Gu,

He didn't usually come here when he had nothing to do, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange, while Lingxi was stunned for a moment and then quickly put down his baggage and came over.

After seeing the ceremony, Lingxi glanced at Zhang Yue and understood what was going on. She quickly opened the curtain to let him into the back room, and then quickly rummaged through the closet. After a while, she held two items in her arms.

The clothes turned around and said with a smile: "Amber Qiuhen has asked the third lady to take her to the upper room in the north courtyard. Several little girls probably accompanied the third lady and the fifth young master to the back garden to play, so now

No one. It seems that this dress was not worn by the young master in the morning, but was it borrowed by the princess?"

Hearing what she said, Zhang Yue knew that Zhu Ning might have come in to see someone after he sent Du Wan back, so he smiled and nodded. He changed into clean clothes inside and outside, and Lingxi combed his hair again.

Then he went out to the North Courtyard with her. Lingxi held the baggage in his arms, saw Zhang Yue glance at it, and immediately explained: "The old lady just told us not to make a big fuss about the birthday this time, and let each room

Pick out all the clothes you can't wear and send them to Daqingshou Temple when the time comes, and donate them to accumulate some merit. The young mistress happened to say that they had been packed away in the west room, so she asked the slave to come and get them."

Knowing that his grandmother was such an old man, Zhang Yue didn't say much. When he entered the north courtyard, he happened to see the door curtain of the upper room being raised by a girl, but several people came out, led by

It was none other than the British Duke Zhang Fu. Seeing this gesture that seemed to be a farewell, he hurried forward to salute, but was helped up by Zhang Fu himself.

Zhang Fu is not going to court today, but he is a meritorious minister, and the scene at the Meridian Gate today has long been heard in his ears. Although he was originally about to leave, since Zhang Yue happened to come back at this time, he changed his mind

, because he nodded and said with a smile: "I only look at Shuo now, and you are busy. As a result, I only saw you when I went to court for a while. I just have something to tell you, um, aunt, Brother Yue's wife, I

Let’s discuss it with you and lend him to me for a while.”

This statement naturally caused a burst of laughter from everyone around. Gu glanced at Du Wan, and then said angrily: "You are already the Duke of the country, and you are still making fun of children. It's rare for you and your wife to come here, so you just have to eat
