Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "This is really convenient. Does it mean that I won't have to worry about money when I live in a brothel every day from now on?"
Nan Zhu threw Zhao Xuanyi's hand out of his arms, "Yes, you don't have to worry about the money, but you have to worry about the height!"
"Height? My height is fine!"
"I will tell the eldest princess about your visit to the brothel, and she will break your legs! This will affect your height!"
"..." Zhao Xuanyi looked at Nan Zhu, "You have become evil! Haha!" After saying that, he kissed Nan Zhu's cherry lips, lifted up Nan Zhu's skirt with his big hands, and the two of them had a great time on the carriage!
Shen Wei drove to the door of Zhang Qiqian's house and pulled up the carriage, "Young Master, here we are!"
"Yeah!" Zhao Xuanyi snorted softly, and then let go of Nanzhu. Nanzhu's pretty face was red, as if he had just drank strong wine. Even though he stood up, straightened his skirt, tied his belt, and picked up With the kettle on the side, drink a few sips of ice water to quickly restore your complexion!
【Snapped! 】Zhao Xuanyi slapped Nan Zhu on the buttocks, "It's getting more and more delicious!"
Nanzhu rolled his eyes at Zhao Xuanyi, and then walked out of the carriage. After Zhao Xuanyi got off the carriage, Nanzhu personally held Zhao Xuanyi's arm. This is called status!
After Zhao Xuanyi got out of the car, he was surprised by the scene in front of him. He saw that Zhang Qiqian's mansion was not very luxurious. It looked similar to the house his father rented. The house with a single courtyard looked very simple! XiuShu.com
But this is the home of a second-rank minister. In addition to his own carriage, there are also three carriages and a sedan parked at the door. Zhao Xuanyi looked at Nan Zhu, "Whose do these belong to?"
"The left and right ministers of the Ministry of Rites are all in carriages, and there is also a carriage that should be that of the minister of household affairs, and the sedan should be from Dali Temple!" As Zhu Yuejun's personal maid, Nanzhu still has this ability!
"Dali Temple? Why are Dali Temple here to join in the fun? The affairs of the Ministry of Rites have nothing to do with them!"
"On the surface, of course it doesn't matter, but secretly... maybe it does!"
"Oh! Got it! Let's go and have a look too!" After Zhao Xuanyi said that, he went straight to the house!
After arriving at the gate of the mansion, two servants directly stopped Zhao Xuanyi at the door, "Who is here? Do you know where this place is? Just break in casually?"
Zhao Xuanyi lowered his head and saw, yo, every time he went to court, he would change out of his official uniform after arriving at Tayunxuan. Now he was wearing the white top that Zhu Yuejun gave him, which was originally the same as her skirt. Yes, it turns out these two people don’t know each other!
It’s okay if you don’t know the clothes, the key is that you don’t know yourself yet! Zhao Xuanyi felt very embarrassed, but before Zhao Xuanyi could say anything, Nan Zhu beside him got angry [Papa! 】Two slaps on the face.
"It's blinding you. This is the current Protector of the Country, and he actually speaks arrogant words? Don't you want to live?"
When the two servants heard that it was the Lord Protector, they were so frightened that they knelt down and said, "Young man didn't know that the Lord Protector was coming. He deserved death. Please forgive me, Lord Protector!"
Zhao Xuanyi looked down and thought, how harmful is this feudal dynasty? As soon as you hear the Lord Protector, apologize first! This thing? It’s as if the Protector of the Kingdom wants to kill his servants when he sees them!
"Ahem! Get up! Where is your Master Zhang?"
"Please Lord Protector come with me, and I will lead you!" One stood up and led Zhao Xuanyi and Nan Zhu the way!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Nan Zhu, "Just say it from now on. Don't let outsiders think that I am an official who likes to bully others! The most important thing is that my hand doesn't hurt?" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he rubbed Nan Zhu's small hand!
Nanzhu's face instantly turned red and he hurriedly took it back, "My lord, please stop making trouble!"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled slightly and strode towards the mansion. When he arrived at the hall, he saw four men sitting in the hall. Zhao Xuanyi glanced at them and saw three strangers and an old acquaintance! It is Liu Jie, the Minister of Rites! Just dealt with it two days ago!
"The Protector?" After the four people saw it, they hurriedly jumped up from their chairs and then knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, please see the Protector!"
Zhao Xuanyi took a brief look and then smiled, "The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Husbandry, and Dali Temple! They are all here!"
"To my lord, we are all students of Zhang Shangshu. We heard that our teacher was seriously ill, so we came here to visit!" Liu Jie said.
Zhao Xuanyi sneered in his heart, I think you came here specifically to wait for the death notice? At this moment, a man in his thirties walked in from the door. When the man saw Zhao Xuanyi, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Young man Zhang Lu, please see the Lord Protector!"
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the man in front of him, and then looked at Nan Zhu. Nan Zhu hurriedly said, "This is Master Zhang's eldest son! Zhang Lu is a scholar!"
Zhao Xuanyi was a little surprised after hearing this. The son of a dignified second-rank official was actually just a scholar? As a rule, I usually arrange work for my son!
"I wonder how Mr. Zhang is doing now?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Please come with me, my lord!" Zhang Lu said and made a gesture of invitation. Zhao Xuanyi no longer hesitated and left the hall with Nan Zhu and Zhang Lu, ignoring the four people kneeling on the ground!
Zhao Xuanyi approached Nanzhu, "What's going on with Zhang Lu?"
"I heard that Zhang Lu had an upright character. After passing the scholar examination, he did not seek fame or work as a staff member, but became a teacher in an academy!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, thinking that he didn't expect that in this capital where officials are rampant, there would be such a clear-minded and ascetic person, how rare it is!
After arriving at the backyard, Zhao Xuanyi walked into the main room. As soon as he entered, he heard several coughs. Zhang Lu came to the bedside and helped an old man on the bed with the maid. "Father, the Protector of the Country is here to see you." !」
"Really? H-hurry help me to the ground!"
.Ь. Zhang Qiqian said hurriedly.
"No! Mr. Zhang, don't worry about it. Just sit on the bed!" Zhao Xuanyi came to the bed and said. Zhao Xuanyi seemed to have seen Zhang Qiqian for the first time. He didn't know how elegant he was before, but now, he is so thin. Skin and bones, black spots all over his face, dull eyes, trembling hands and feet, he looks like a dying old man!
Zhang Qiqian took a deep breath, "I'm really sorry for bothering the Duke to come see this little old man!"
"Master Zhang, this is serious. According to your age, you are the elder. You don't have to be like this. Just be more casual!"
"Son, show me to the Duke quickly, and then go out and wait outside!" Zhang Qiqian said weakly.
"Yes!" The maid took the chair and tea table, then poured a cup of hot tea, and then Zhang Lu led all the maids out of the room!
After Zhao Xuanyi sat down, he did not drink tea, but looked at Zhang Qiqian, "Master Zhang, I wonder why you invited me here?"
Zhang Qiqian sighed, and then smiled weakly: "My lord, I am not afraid of your jokes. I originally wanted to invite your father Mr. Zhao, but Mr. Zhao has been an honest man in his life and does not like to talk to dirty people like me, so I can only Please come over!"
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he realized that it turned out that he was looking for him because he failed to ask his father! "It doesn't matter who you invite or who comes. Master Zhang, if you have something to do, you might as well just say it!"
"My lord, let's not talk nonsense! The end of the little boy's life is approaching, but his heart is not at peace! Now that the turmoil in the country has just subsided, there is also the crown prince's coronation ceremony! These things are all my responsibilities, but this body can't Keep up the good work, I can no longer serve the country!" After Zhang Qiqian said a few words, he took a big breath!
After Zhao Xuanyi saw it, he realized that it was difficult for Zhang Qi Qian to even speak. He couldn't help but lamented that Zhang Qi Qian didn't know what it was like to be an official, but he really had a sense of responsibility. This was already the case, and he couldn't rest assured!
"Master Zhang, you want to discuss with the Duke whether there are any successors among the students in the hall?" Nan Zhu asked directly.
"No, no, no... just the opposite! I guess the Duke has already seen those young people in the hall, and he still calls himself my student? Ridiculous! Old man, I only have one student in my life, Chen Mingdao! Apart from that, I have no disciples !」
"And inviting the Duke to come today is just a matter of troubling the Duke. If I, old man, are no longer here one day, I would ask the Duke to choose a person with discernment for the position of minister. These wolves outside are ambitious and each has his own successor! If they hold this position, There will be endless disasters in this empty position! This can be regarded as the last thing that my old man will do for the country!"
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he was in awe.
! Originally, Zhao Xuanyi thought that Zhang Qiqian was here to discuss with him who should serve as the minister after his death. Unexpectedly, this old man still had some pride. After thinking about it, he didn't want those white-eyed wolves outside to take advantage of him to seek power!
