study.
Zheng Zuoyang came to the study in a hurry, and saw Fang Ze sitting behind the desk, looking at the memorial in his hand with a sad expression. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Fang Zeduan put down the memorial and looked at Zheng Zuoyang: "Here?"
"Yes," Zheng Zuoyang nodded, walked to the table and sat down, "it's New Year's Eve, dad, are you still busy?"
"It's nothing," Fang Zeduan closed the memorial, picked up the tea bowl, and leaned on the back of the chair to ask Zheng Zuoyang, "How is Zhenli's health? Can everything be returned?"
Fang Zeduan is the Right Chancellor of Dali. He usually leaves early and comes home late. It is not uncommon for him to miss his daughter for more than ten days.
"To tell you back to dad, everything is fine with Zhenli, but..." Zheng Zuoyang pursed his lips a little worriedly, "It's just that Dr. Zhang said that the fetus in Zhenli's belly was a little bigger, and asked Zhenli to eat vegetarian before giving birth."
Fang Zeduan frowned: "Besides this, did Doctor Zhang say anything else?"
"No, I just want Zhenli to eat plain and move around more on weekdays," Zheng Zuoyang said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Dad, I will be with Zhenli."
"I don't feel at ease just because you're with me," Fang Zeduan rolled his eyes and said while glancing at Zheng Zuoyang's fat belly, "You should also eat less and move around more."
"Yes, daddy taught me a lesson," Zheng Zuoyang said sarcastically. He also knew that he had gained weight again and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to lose weight. However, he was taught a lesson by his wife and father-in-law one after another. He was still quite shameless and was so busy that he changed the subject. , "Dad, I wonder why you called me here?"
Fang Zeduan's face suddenly became solemn, he looked at the memorial on the table, and said slowly for a long time: "Tomorrow you will come with me to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Long Live Lord and the Queen."
Zheng Zuoyang raised his eyebrows: "Dad, do you want me to intercede for Master Ding?"
Since then, Ding Shaodian was scolded by Lu Zhishan and his official position was reduced. He fell ill as soon as he returned to the house and he still can't get out of bed. Fang Zeduan ran to Ding's house several times and saw Ding Shaodian looking so haggard and broken. It was very touching, and the friendship between him and Ding Shaodian was a good story.
At that time, the two of them, one was number one and the other was number two, even disliked each other for a while. Later, Fang Zeduan was demoted to Ganzhou, and Ding Shaodian was proud of it for a long time. However, later on, the Dali court became more corrupt and dark, and Ding Shaodian became more and more corrupt. The sorrow and depression made him think more about his former rival, so later on, Fang Zeduan was able to return to the court and even become a minister. This was because of Ding Shaodian's strong recommendation.
Ding Shaodian took the initiative to clear up the past grudges, and Fang Zeduan naturally reciprocated the favor. The two went from being frivolous and tit-for-tat when they were young to now supporting each other through a thousand sailings. The mutual sympathy here is something ordinary people can't understand. Therefore, after Ding Shaodian was expelled from the official position by Lu Zhishan and returned to the field, Fang Zeduan He has begged for Ding Shaodian's love for Ding Shaodian more than ten times, but Lu Zhishan is unmoved. The memorial he submitted yesterday was returned intact this morning.
Fang Zeduan spent a long time in the study looking at this memorial with a sad face, and suddenly thought of his son-in-law.
Zheng Zuoyang has followed Lu Zhishan since he was a child. He has been Lu Zhishan's confidant for thirty years. Lu Zhishan has always regarded Zheng Zuoyang as his brother. Lu Zhishan cannot listen to what he says, but If Zheng Zuoyang said it, Lu Zhishan might be able to listen.
Zheng Zuoyang was able to stay with Lu Zhishan for so many years and help Lu Zhishan solve his problems. He was certainly not an ordinary person, so as soon as Fang Zeduan opened his mouth, Zheng Zuoyang already understood.
