If it were in the past, when hearing that Master Zhang from Qin Garden came to inquire about Zhao Garden's situation, Mother Li would have taken it for granted that it must be the spoiled only son of Duke Qin, Zhang Chen, who was showing his courtesy to the eldest daughter again, and she would have had a headache thinking about how to put him off. But at this moment, her first reaction was... to look sideways at Zhang Shou!
She has always been amazed that even with Ge Yong as his teacher, Zhang Shou could actually convince his love rival Zhang Chen!
At this time, she only saw Zhang Shou smiled and asked, "Is it Zhang Chen?"
"That's right." The general could not help but glance up at Zhang Shou when answering, and then quickly lowered his head. "Mr. Zhang heard that Mr. Shou and the eldest lady were both here, so he said he wanted to meet Mr. Shou."
"It's a coincidence that he happens to live in Haidian Garden."
Zhang Shou glanced at Mama Li as he spoke. Mama Li was such a smart person that she immediately smiled and said, "Our family and the Qin Guogong Zhang family are old friends. In addition, Young Master Zhang is your student, Young Master Shou, so of course he should be invited in to talk. How about this, I'll go to see the eldest lady and tell her that Young Master Zhang is coming."
In just a moment, Mother Li, who had wanted to ask Zhang Shou what was going on, changed her mind. Seeing the servant who came in to report hurried out, she vaguely felt that Zhang Chen's visit at this time might not be because of the commotion in Zhao Garden last night, but most likely because she brought dozens of servants with her.
You know, her group of dozens of people just happened to pass by Qin Garden, which was not far from Zhao Garden. If Zhang Chen wanted to go out at that time, and noticed the commotion and followed to take a look, it would not be surprising at all.
Mother Li hurried to Xiaocuitang, and the servant also hurried out and brought Zhang Chen over after a while.
Although he knew that Zhang Shou was in Zhao Garden, when they met, he thought that this was the Zhu family's villa, and Zhang Shou lived here like the owner. Even the Zhu family's servants didn't think it was surprising. It was obvious that his relationship with Zhu Ying was set in stone. Thinking that all his thoughts about Zhu Ying were in vain, Zhang Chen was a little depressed. After a while, he called "Teacher" listlessly.
He is now the head monk of Banshan Hall, and Zhang Shou is in charge of the Imperial College Doctor of Banshan Hall. The teacher-student relationship is more legitimate than before.
Zhang Shou personally appointed Zhang Chen as the head monk. He pretended not to notice Zhang Chen's depressed expression and said with a smile, "This gate is not a place to talk. Yingying is in Xiaocuitang now, so let's go to Qinfang Pavilion."
There were dozens of servants and guards outside Zhao Garden, who were guarding as if they were facing a great enemy. When Zhang Chen entered Zhao Garden, he found that there were almost no people in such a big place. He had been feeling suspicious for a long time, so when Zhang Shou said so, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.
He had been to Zhao Garden in previous years. This time, he followed Zhang Shou along the winding path, passed through the rockery, and when they arrived in front of Qinfang Pavilion, he couldn't help but ask.
"What happened in Zhao Garden?"
"Last night, two traitors who had escaped death from the Linhai Camp were found in the garden. There was a big commotion, and Yingying searched the garden all night for fear of any accidents. After all, Zhao Garden is outside the capital, and she was afraid that someone would collude with the traitors. In the second half of the night, she found a lot of messy things, so Xiaocuitang should be full of ghosts and wolves howling at this moment."
