Chapter 103: Three days without a roof over your head

Yang Peng couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager asked you to come here as an errand. You are here to look at the scenery, but you are actually criticizing the appearance of those wives.

"Master Zhang, since ancient times, it is not always the case that you want a wife. Please be kind to me?"

Yang Peng said, as if he suddenly realized something.

Emotions: What you, Zhang Zhou, like are beautiful women.

Although I am a eunuch and don’t think there is anything good about beautiful women, as long as you like it, then I will make arrangements for it. Who asked me to climb up to your high branch now?

Jiang Lu came over and saluted and said, "Mr. Zhang, the Queen Mother invites you."

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Eunuch Yang, I have to leave this to you first."

p>

"Yes, please."

Yang Peng did not dare to neglect.

While the Zhaijiao hadn’t started yet, I quickly went in to find Taoist Luo to make preparations.

Zhang Zhou walked through the palace harem where his wives gathered.

Now it was impossible for others to pay attention to him. After all, Zhang Zhou was the only man walking around the garden who was not wearing a eunuch uniform.

All the women pointed at him.

Women of the Ming Dynasty, those at the concubine level, that is, older women from civil servants' families, would have more rules. Also, those who had just entered the palace would still talk about interesting things when they saw them.

This is nature.

Zhang Zhou soon spotted a familiar figure next to Wu Xun’s wife.

It’s Zhu Feng’s little wife Ning Tong.

Ning Tong was staring at her with eyes that were not only surprised but also mixed with contempt. You may be thinking, is this what you call a job here as an errand in the palace, or are you ready to become a eunuch?

"The Empress Dowager, Mr. Zhang is here."

Yue Xin temple.

Jiang Lu brought Zhang Zhou to the Queen Mother Zhou.

The Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and said, "Bingkuan is here and I will give you a seat."

Zhang Zhou said, "Today is a big day. How can the person on duty have any reason to sit down and enter the inner curtain? It's just for giving." "Hearing Zhang Zhou's voice, Lin Yi, who was walking beside her without even daring to raise her head, couldn't help but look over with frightened and puzzled eyes. She was not the one who had made her father angry before. I couldn't help but Jiangnan Jieyuan Zhang Zhou, who else could it be

The Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and pointed at the Ruan family. Jiang Lu immediately went over and invited the Ruan family to sit outside, leaving Lin Yi alone.

Before Zhang Zhou came, Empress Dowager Zhou had inquired about Lin Yi's net worth and other information.

"Bingkuan, the Ai family has told His Majesty that today they plan to select some famous ladies from the capital to introduce to you."

The Queen Mother Zhou was playing riddles with Zhang Zhou again.

The meaning this time is very clear. Please refer to it for the Ai family. This Miss Lin went to attract the emperor's attention and make the emperor fall in love with her. You can see if she has this potential.

Then you can calculate whether their zodiac signs, horoscopes, etc. are compatible, and whether they are a match in destiny.

Zhang Zhou knew very well that he was just a cover.

No matter how much Empress Dowager Zhou admired him, she would never be his matchmaker. It wasn't like she didn't know that he was married.

This reason can be a little more ridiculous

Zhang Zhou said, "The Empress Dowager Yanxiao, married in the next generation, has a wife, a concubine, a son and a daughter."

Zhou Zhou The Queen Mother rolled her eyes at Zhang Zhou.

Are you really not understanding or are you just pretending to be confused? When I was talking about the emperor’s condition with you earlier, your metaphors came out of your mouth. The Ai family could hardly catch up with your barrage. You don’t really think Ai? I found a home for you, right?

Next to me, Lin Yi was extremely nervous.

She hasn’t figured out the situation yet.

Two days ago, I was inexplicably informed that I would go to the palace with my aunt today. When I came to the palace, I was called to see the Empress Dowager. When I met the Empress Dowager, she actually said that she would be betrothed to Zhang Zhou and Zhang. Zhou Jiangnan’s status as Jieyuan was not a loss for her when she married him, but the problem was that Zhang Zhou himself stated that he had a wife and a concubine, so wouldn’t the Empress Dowager be a bit of a mess?

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled He said, "Bingkuan, that means you are not satisfied with Miss Lin. Look at her background, talent, learning, and character. How are they not worthy of you?" Zhang Zhou said, "Queen Mother, when I came over, When I saw the fallen leaves on the ground in the yard and the dead branches of the trees, I couldn’t help but feel sad. When these dead trees have many branches, their leaves are indeed lush, but when they are withered, they also have more fallen leaves.”

Time to play riddles.

Zhang Zhou was actually reminding her that even if she wanted to choose a concubine for the emperor, why should she be so public and invite so many wives and ladies at once? How could Empress Zhang not find out about this and prevent it?

You want the emperor to bloom and flourish, but you are afraid that this will be an extraneous branch, and it will end up with dead leaves lying on the ground.

"Come here, send the Lin family girl to have a rest."

Empress Dowager Zhou immediately called for someone to send Lin Yi out.

Then the Queen Mother Zhou said, "Bingkuan, what are your plans?"

Zhang Zhou said, "I don't have a good plan, but I only know that many things must be allowed to take their course. Deliberately, the more fruitless it is. If you want to plant trees, it is impossible to plant them within the palace wall. Every piece of land within the palace wall has its own use, and there is no room for any tree buds. But outside the palace wall, there is a wild field. Desolation, especially when spring comes next year, will definitely bring vitality to all things. ”

Let’s not talk about treatment this time.

Let’s talk about planting trees instead.

What Zhang Zhou means is that if you find a woman for the emperor, don’t do it in the palace, because the palace is the queen’s territory. Even if I have a woman who is favored by the emperor, or even the emperor is interested in her, as long as this If women's affairs fall into the Queen's ears, this palace can still hide a woman that the Queen wants to find.

Old lady, you know the outcome well.

The only way is to stay outside the palace and wait for the spring to bloom, because the emperor’s health is not very good in winter, and he doesn’t have that kind of energy in the winter, and he has to wait for me to put the emperor’s After the body has been recuperated.

You can even wait until I pass the Jinshi exam, no matter whatWait until I fail the exam.

It has only been five or six days since I finished talking to you, and you are going to do this, and I am afraid that you will fall into pieces.

"Bingkuan, it's rare for someone to be able to think about something seriously like me, an old man. Before, the Ai family didn't think it should be entrusted to others, and others didn't have such ability. But after seeing After you, the Ai family will know what God's will is."

"It is God's will that you save the Ai family's little great-granddaughter, and it is also God's will that you save the Ai family. Now it depends on whether you can continue to follow God's will and stabilize the country. You go down and get things done, and the Aijia will not force others to make things difficult for them today."

After Empress Dowager Zhou understood what Zhang Zhou meant, she no longer acted too hastily, and she did not even feel that this matter should be left to her own to lead.

Why can it be left to Zhang Zhou?

The idea came from Zhang Zhou. Then Zhang Zhou must have a more complete plan. It would be better to let Zhang Zhou arrange it. She is only responsible for cooperating. That’s it.

Zhang Zhou returned to Qin'an Palace.

The fasting festival has begun.

A group of Taoist priests danced there like great gods, breathing fire and wielding swords. They were startled. Many women were watching in the distance, but no one dared to come close. Maybe they were really afraid that there were ghosts and gods inside. .

Zhang Zhou knew that those were all deceptions.

Taoist priests can be regarded as chemists these days.

While Zhang Zhou was standing outside the hall watching the excitement, a graceful figure appeared next to Zhang Zhou. It was Ning Tong whom he had seen before.

"Mrs. Zhu"

Ning Tong said, "Take a step to speak."

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "No, it's the same as talking here, deliberately avoid it, others will be more careful." We would think too much, and besides, no one is paying attention to what we are saying."

Ning Tong looked around to make sure no one was looking this way, and then she mustered up the courage to ask, "Why are you here?" Here"

Zhang Zhou shrugged, "I was ordered to be on duty. Didn't Zhijie tell you that the fire in Qingning Palace was predicted by me in advance? I saved the life of the Empress Dowager. There are people in the palace today. Is it weird for me to supervise Zhaijiao?"

"You"

Ning Tong thought about it and was really speechless.

If Zhang Zhou really has supernatural powers, the palace will definitely treat him as an honored guest, and he will appear at the feast, which is perfect.

"So you don't plan to be a eunuch" Ning Tong said narrowly.

Zhang Zhoubai glanced at her and said, "Mrs. Zhu, I have a family, a wife and children. Why do I want to be a eunuch? Do you think I am the kind of person who likes to break up other people's families? It's Mrs. Zhu." You”

“What’s wrong with me”

Ning Tong was embarrassed.

Knowing that Zhang Zhou had supernatural powers, although she didn’t believe it, now even the emperor and the empress dowager treated Zhang Zhou with great respect, so there were some reasons why she couldn’t believe it.

Being in front of a person with supernatural powers, it's like everything in your heart is being seen through.

There are many secrets in my heart.

It’s easy to get nervous.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "What do you think of the script? Do you want to follow it?"I want to know the happy life of Pan Jinlian and Ximen Daguan in the future."

"You bastard"

Ning Tong thought Zhang Zhou was going to say something important, but she didn't know that Zhang Zhou was just You're making fun of her.

"Why are you still cursing me? I'll give you the next part. After all, I plan to print this book to make money, so I don't have to ask Zhijie to invite me and you two." At a banquet, if you want to read the following, spend money to buy it. ”

“You two always make me feel awkward. I really don’t know how you get along. "

Zhang Zhou lamented the way Ning Tong and Zhu Feng got along.

Ning Tong said, "How we get along has nothing to do with you."

Zhang Zhou He curled his lips, "One is my friend, and the other should I call him brother-in-law. Although Zhijie helped me a lot, I didn't treat him badly if they weren't both friends. There was no need to be so stiff." Madam Zhu, you should hurry back to where you should go. After the feast, others should speculate on what you were talking to people in the palace, which will affect your reputation. "

Ning Tong said angrily, "Since I married into the Chengguo Duke's mansion, I have no good reputation. Thank you for Mr. Zhang's concern. ”

After saying that, he got angry and wanted to leave.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and reminded, “Remember to find someone to send me the second volume of the book.”

Zhang Zhou looked at her back and thought.

Women are indeed hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

But men are not the same.

On the other side, Zhu Youtang finished the Qiuban sacrificial activities and hurried back to the palace.

He deliberately entered the palace through Donghua Gate without informing anyone in advance and went straight to the palace. When going to Wenhua Palace, people from Dongchang should keep an eye on it at all times. If there is any movement, they will secretly capture the people sent by the prince to watch outside Wenhua Palace.

But it was Zhu Houzhao who learned about it that day. Dad went out to perform sacrifices without any scruples, and no one was sent to keep an eye on him.

When Zhu Youtang appeared quietly inside the gate of Wenhua Palace,

The scene immediately made his blood surge.

But he saw Zhu Houzhao dressed in "fancy clothes"

He had a Qiankun circle on his head, a Hun Tianling in his hand, and a long red tassel gun in his other hand. Wearing a red lotus gown, half of his arms were exposed in the winter, with two braids on his head, and a hot wheel under his feet. He didn't even stand on the ground, but jumped directly onto the table.

"Bang"

The red tassel gun in his hand was slapped on the table, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were knocked to the floor.

Look at the group of eunuchs next to him.

Zhu Youtang updated. I was going crazy.

The seven eunuchs lined up in a row, each with a gourd wrapped around their heads. They were wearing colorful clothes, which were put directly on top of their inner official uniforms. Wearing blush looks like a monkey’s butt

Noisy

Zhu Youtang thought to himself, this damn thing is just called Noisy

This bastard
