Mr. Zhuang slowly came back to his senses, glanced at him, and asked, "Who looked for you?"
Yao Ge shook his head, "A peddler happened to come to our place. He mentioned you at first, but I didn't respond. Then I went to Chen'er. Seeing that our father and son didn't respond, he took some money and wanted us to come to the capital for a visit. trip."
He said: "The purpose is so clear, the identity can't be real."
Mr. Zhuang frowned, "What's your name?"
"My name is Wan Dong. I heard that he is from Luozhou, but I heard his accent, and it looks like he is from the capital."
"What is the purpose?"
"Recalling the events of the past, saying that the poems and essays belonged to Chen Fulin."
Mr. Zhuang smiled, "I didn't expect that almost thirty years later, when I brought up this matter again, I went back and forth and returned to the original point."
Yao Ge didn't speak.
Mr. Zhuang sighed, got up and said, "I know, I will be careful."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Yao Ge said: "I didn't agree to them. This time I came to Beijing to settle this matter. Did you receive the letter I sent you back then?"
Mr. Zhuang gave a faint "hmm".
Yao Ge breathed out and said, "With the letter I gave you back then, I can also testify for you, so let's settle this matter."
Mr. Zhuang turned around and looked back at him, "Almost thirty years have passed, and you have never mentioned the matter of getting married. Why did you mention it now?"
Yao Ge smiled wryly, "Because now you are strong and he is weak."
"I am a cowardly person with my family behind me. If he is still an official in the capital, and you and I are commoners, I would not want to come forward to make an enemy of him," he said, "but now, it is you When he became an official, he retired."
Mr. Zhuang said: "It is very clear to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."
Yao Ge didn't refute, and said dumbly: "That's right, I'm not the Yao Ge I was back then."
One wrong step, one wrong step, so does courage and character.
How carefree and free they were when they traveled together to study, and how ambitious and courageous they were.
As a result, he did one wrong thing, and his courage seemed to leak a hole, and his spine bent, and he never straightened up again.
He spent three years avoiding his mistakes, refusing to admit that he was wrong, and later wrote a letter to Zhuang Xun, telling himself in his heart that the matter was over, but deep down he knew it was not.
So he spent another twenty years deceiving himself, until someone came to him, and he spent a month tearing apart the past, and only then did he start to face himself and Zhuang Xun.
Seeing him bluntly speaking about his shamelessness, Mr. Zhuang was speechless for a while.
That's why he could look at Chen Fulin with a smile on his face. He didn't resent Chen Fulin in his heart, because he wasn't worth it. He could think of ways to deal with Chen Fulin based on his own interests, and then choose the best way.
But for Yao Ge, Mr. Zhuang couldn't even do ordinary pleasantries.
Because this is the person I once regarded as a close friend.
Mr. Zhuang's eyes were slightly red, he turned and left, and said after reaching the door: "There is no need for this matter. Chen Fulin is not in the capital, so it is meaningless to bring it up again."
Yao Ge watched him leave, opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.
He turned his head to look at the untouched tea that Mr. Zhuang put on the table, sighed slightly, and sat on the chair for a long time without any response.
It was Yao Chen who came over and saw his father sitting blankly alone, he hurried forward and said, "Father, isn't Uncle Zhuang here?"
"He comes and he goes."
Yao Chen was startled, and asked, "Did he not forgive you?"
Yao Ge glanced at the cup of tea, sighed and said, "Why do you forgive or not? Although he is in good spirits, his temples are gray."
He stood up holding Yao Chen's hand, and asked, "Did anyone find out?"
"No, but we don't know each other well in the capital, so it's possible that we can't find out. Has father told Uncle Zhuang about it?"
Yao Ge nodded, thinking that Zhuang Xun didn't really want to communicate with him, he sighed and said, "You can send him a copy of the portrait later, and we don't need to worry about it now."
Yao Chen was surprised, "It doesn't matter?"
"We don't have any manpower in the capital. It's not easy to find him. Why don't we leave it to Uncle Zhuang? He's an official in the capital now, and none of the three apprentices is an idler. It shouldn't be necessary for us to intervene."
Yao Chen fell silent, and nodded after a while, "Then shall we go home? Or... register the two children and let them take the Jinshi examination?"
Yao Chen was actually a little nervous when he said this, he said: "Father, I don't think Uncle Zhuang will remember what happened back then, and Chen Fulin is not in the capital now, maybe the children can try the Jinshi examination."
He said: "It's not like me, I only passed the Ming Law in the local area."
Yao Ge thought for a moment, but he was still unwilling to delay the future of his two grandsons, so he nodded.
Yao Chen breathed a sigh of relief and cheered up.
At this time, Mr. Zhuang was sitting in the car thinking, who the hell went to Yao Ge, and wanted to pin the incident on him again
Mr. Zhuang tapped his fingers involuntarily. He is just a small attendant, and he is too old to be promoted, so he will teach the prince a class every ten days. Maybe he will be a little bit popular in the future, but his age and experience Here, who will deal with him
And it took so much effort.
Now the crown prince's status has been stabilized a lot, he is indeed a favorite, and he has risen with the Chongwen Museum and Zhan Shifu, but no matter what, his little sixth-rank servant is not worth such a lot of trouble to deal with.
If it's not him, it's for the people behind him.
who
Prince
Mr. Zhuang shook his head slightly. If he really wanted to use his teacher to deal with the crown prince, then he should have trouble finding Kong Jijiu. No matter the grade, or because Kong Jijiu was the prince's teacher since he was a child, he had to find him.
That leaves only three children.
Mr. Zhuang excludes Bai Erlang first, this kid is like a fish in water in the Imperial Academy now, he only wants to write story books, and occasionally do some tasks assigned by the Imperial Academy, the rest of the time is spent playing house with Princess Mingda .
He has no career ambitions.
Bai Shan and Zhou Man
Mr. Zhuang pondered.
"Sir, you're home."
The servants carried the stool over and helped Mr. Zhuang get out of the car.
Mr. Zhuang asked the porter, "Have Bai Shan and Man Bao returned?"
"Mr. Hui, the young master and the lady didn't come back, neither did Daji."
so late
Mr. Zhuang turned his head to look at the sky, and shook his head slightly, "Are they going out to eat and drink again?"
Bai Shan and Man Bao are working overtime.
The emperor was going to the Yongzhou Palace to escape the summer heat. Not only did he bring a lot of people, but he also brought a lot of things.
Of the six Zhongshu Sheren, the emperor left three for the crown prince and took away three, but it was not static, but they had to work in shifts, currently scheduled to be once every ten days.
For the first time, the emperor named Bai Shan, so he was packing up.
Zhongshu province's stuff can only be worked overtime.
Man Bao is also working overtime.
The medicinal materials in the Yongzhou Palace are not as complete as those in the Taiji Palace, so she is checking the medicinal materials to determine the medicinal materials they will bring this time.
