For Zhang Fei, this is just a lawsuit and life must go on.
After the verdict was announced in Kaifeng Prefecture, he began to work on his own business.
This lawsuit actually also reflects his shortcomings. Now Xu Zhiqian is the only one by his side. What if Xu Zhiqian is not here, or if she is married
He needs a professional team.
This is the long-term solution!
Today he made an appointment with Xu Zhiqian to go to Fan's bookstore together, and see whether Fan Li had recovered or passed away. If it was the latter, he would go to pay his respects and bring his sister-in-law back to take care of her.
"Madam Xu is here, let's go!"
"Huh? Why are you and Li Si the only ones at home?"
When Xu Zhiqian saw that Zhang Fei had returned to the past, with only Li Si by his side, she couldn't help but look around, but she didn't see Gao Wenyin and the others.
Zhang Fei said: "They all went to Xiahe Village to pay tribute to Shi Dalang."
On the day of the verdict in Kaifeng Prefecture, they hurried back to Xiahe Village because there were some things they needed to be told in person.
Xu Zhiqian nodded slightly and asked, "Did Madam Zhang go too?"
Zhang Fei nodded.
Xu Zhiqian teased: "You are so generous!"
"This is not called magnanimity, this is called self-confidence."
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Do I look like someone who is afraid of death?"
After a pause, he continued, "This is also the reason why I am willing to take them in. Today they are so loyal to Shi Dalang, and they will be so loyal to me in the future."
Xu Zhiqian smiled and said, "You are smart this time. Let's go!"
The two were just about to go out when they suddenly saw Wang Ye walk in.
"Brother Wang?"
Xu Zhiqian was slightly startled.
Generally speaking, when the emperor came here incognito, he would inform the Xu family in advance, but this time he didn't, so she was very surprised.
Wang Ye glanced at the two of them and asked, "Are you going out?"
“No…No.”
Xu Zhiqian shook her head.
Um
Zhang Fei whispered, "Madam Xu, didn't we agree to go to the Fan Family Bookstore?"
At work, he is used to doing things according to plan, and will not easily disrupt his plans unless necessary.
We can drink and chat any day!
Xu Zhiqian said awkwardly: "Zhang San, my Senior Brother Wang is here, let's go tomorrow. Anyway... there's no rush anyway."
Zhang Fei looked at her with deep contempt.
Seeing the two of them whispering to each other, Wang Ye couldn't help but ask again, "Am I disturbing you?"
"No no!"
Xu Zhiqian just shook her head.
Zhang Fei also put on a smiling face: "Brother Wang, please come in."
"Thank you!"
Wang Ye suddenly glanced at Xu Zhiqian.
Xu Zhiqian understood what he meant and said hurriedly, "Brother Wang, you are here to congratulate Zhang San, right?"
Wang Ye smiled and nodded: "To be honest, Junior Sister, when I heard that you were going to sue the court, I was worried about you. I never thought that Sanlang would win the case. This is really inspiring."
Zhang Fei said modestly: "No! No! Originally the outcome was still uncertain, but I suddenly found a new clue, which allowed me to clear my wife's name. It shows that good deeds will be rewarded!"
Wang Ye smiled and said, "Don't be modest, Sanlang. My mentor has already told me the details of what happened."
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.
Xu Zhiqian suddenly said, "Senior Brother Wang, my father was still complaining yesterday that you haven't come to my house to eat with him for a long time. Please come to my house for lunch this afternoon. I will ask someone to prepare the food now."
Wang Ye smiled and nodded, saying, "Since Junior Sister has invited me so kindly, I will not refuse."
"Okay! I'll arrange it now."
Xu Zhiqian said to Zhang Fei again: "Zhang San, you guys chat."
"oh!"
Zhang Fei nodded dully, wondering why this woman could be so gentle to her Senior Brother Wang? Couldn't she treat everyone equally
But then again, Zhang Fei felt that he and Wang Ye hit it off from the first sight, but afterwards he felt something was not so good. He suspected that this guy had a serious narcissism disorder. Whenever he opened his mouth, he talked about the world, and whenever he closed his mouth, he talked about the country, as if the country was his own family.
There is no talk of romance.
It is easy to be misunderstood if two young men full of vigor and vitality do not talk about girls.
But Wang Ye didn't seem to notice it. After he sat down in the house, he was as excited as usual. "After I learned about Sanlang's speech at the Dali Temple that day, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at night. I was excited and worried."
Zhang Fei smiled awkwardly: "Really?"
Wang Ye nodded and said, "Sanlang's argument in court was really sharp and pointed out the shortcomings of our dynasty's policies. It was brilliant and breathtaking."
As he spoke, he sighed again: "Whether it is the corvée law or the problem of redundant officials, they have been troubling our dynasty for many years and have never been resolved. Whenever I think of this, I can't help but feel worried."
Here it comes again. Alas... Zhang Fei said earnestly: "Brother Wang, someone will take care of this matter. If we worry about it, it's just a waste of time. It's useless. No, it's meaningless."
Wang Ye raised his hand and said in a very impressive manner: "Sanlang, what you said is wrong. The country has bad policies, which also endanger you and me. How can you and I stay out of it?"
I have to find that woman back as soon as possible. I really can't handle this anymore. It's endless.
This time or twice, Zhang Fei could still talk big and brag about Daju Temple or something, but it would be boring if he kept doing this. Moreover, Wang Ye now gave him the feeling that he always wanted to take something out of his mouth, which made him very uncomfortable.
But after all, he was Xu Zun's student, so he had to give him some face and said patiently, "We have no power and no official position. It's useless to say these things. We might as well save some energy and make more money. If there is a disaster, we can spend money to avoid it instead of just sitting there and waiting for death."
"Sanlang is joking!"
Wang Ye was relentless, saying, "Sanlang always appeals for those who have been wronged, even at the cost of offending the dignitaries in the court. If Sanlang didn't care about the country, how could he have stood up so many times?"
Zhang Fei explained weakly: "I am the ear writer. This is my job. It has nothing to do with worrying about the country and the people. Oh, I am really not being modest."
Facing Zhang Fei's impatience, Wang Ye's brows revealed a trace of anxiety, "But in my opinion, Sanlang's ability is definitely more than that. I believe Sanlang has a good solution. I wonder if Sanlang is willing to share it with me?"
It's over! It's over! This guy is a lunatic! Fortunately, I didn't accept him as my younger brother, otherwise I would be annoyed to death. Zhang Fei was really unhappy. His eyes turned and he suddenly stood up, "Hey, Brother Wang, I'm so sorry. I suddenly remembered that I have something to go out for. Otherwise, you can go find Madam Xu first, and I will talk to you in detail when I come back."
I thought to myself, after finishing my business at the bookstore, I will go find Cao Yanei and the others to drink wine, sing songs, and then stay in a restaurant. Anyway, I have a fake wife at home, and the fake wife is not at home yet, so I will not go back tonight.
"Please stay, Sanlang."
Wang Ye hurriedly called him.
Can't stay! Zhang Fei said repeatedly: "Sorry! Sorry! I really have something urgent to do. Next time, next time I will treat Senior Brother Wang to a drink."
Wang Ye was confused, and he could see that Zhang Fei was about to run away. He suddenly asked, "If the emperor asked you this, would you do the same?"
"Official family?"
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "There are so many wise and capable officials in the court, and the emperor would come to me to ask a sly writer about the strategy of governing the country? You are really humorous."
Wang Ye raised his lips and said, "Maybe I can invite the officials to come here."
"you?"
Zhang Fei was immediately amused by this boy, "Okay! If you invite the official here, even if I don't have an answer, I will make one up and go to the lake to find it... Ahem, okay! Okay! I really don't understand these, and I really have something to do, so I'll take my leave first, you go and find Madam Xu."
After he finished speaking, he saw that Zhao Xu did not stand up either, and thought, I just realized today that this kid is so ignorant, I am about to leave, and you are not leaving yet? Forget it, forget it, let him sit.
Wang Ye smiled and said, "Well, then! Just treat me as an official and make up an answer to tease me."
"This official can still...!"
Zhang Fei was inevitably shocked, but halfway through his words, he blinked and whispered, "You...what did you just say?"
Wang Ye said with a smile: "Just treat me as an official and make up an answer to tease me."
"... ... ?"
Zhang Fei tilted his head and looked at Wang Ye, thinking that Emperor Shenzong seemed to be about his age, which was unlikely... He left a sentence, "Excuse me!"
Without giving Wang Ye a chance to speak, he hurried out the door.
The guards at the door were about to stop them, but Wang Ye raised his hand to stop them.
Zhang Fei went out the back door and stepped into the Xu family in two steps.
"Xu Zhiqian! Xu Zhiqian! Come out here."
Shouting all the way.
"Don't shout, I'm here."
But Xu Zhiqian was seen walking out from the corner of the corridor.
Zhang Fei walked over immediately, but before he could say anything, Xu Zhiqian asked, "You know?"
Zhang Fei pointed at Xu Zhiqian and uttered, "Damn it!"
"You... you are not!" Zhang Fei suddenly said excitedly: "I trust you so much, and you want to hurt me like this?"
Xu Zhiqian said with a hint of guilt: "Actually, I... I wanted to tell you, but... but he wouldn't let me tell you. Even my father wouldn't dare to tell you. I..."
"Okay, okay! Even so, you still have to wink at me when we chat. Just watch me jump into the fire pit."
He couldn't quite remember what nonsense he said after drinking.
"I did! It's you who is so smart and keeps misunderstanding... Humph."
When this matter was mentioned, Xu Zhiqian got angry and glared at Zhang Fei fiercely.
"I... I didn't know the government would be so boring!"
Zhang Fei slapped his forehead and asked again: "This... What is going on?"
Until he arrived at Xu's house just now, he still didn't quite believe it. Why would the emperor come here to drink with him for no reason
Xu Zhiqian said: "I don't know much either. I heard from my father that the emperor admires your talent very much, so he wanted to come and meet you."
"I see!" Zhang Fei nodded in understanding.
"... ... ?"
Xu Zhiqian asked: "Has the official left?"
Zhang Fei turned around and ran to the back door.
