"This is the house of Lu Sanlang's father, Lu Wan, the Minister of War."
Sitting in the carriage, listening to Zhu Ying's words, Zhang Shou looked out through the gap in the curtains and saw that this road, which was as wide as the street in front of the Duke Zhao's mansion, was filled with many other carriages and horses, just like their parked carriage. The level of bustle alone was several levels higher than that of the Zhu family. However, despite the noise, the surroundings seemed orderly.
At least, there was no scene here like what happened in front of Ge's house, where people surrounded the gatehouse and made a lot of noise.
But you have to know that military officers, whether they are seeking promotion or transfer, should be more arrogant than civil servants when they act cheating!
Just by looking at this scene, Zhang Shou once again raised his expectations for the Minister of War. Being able to maintain such order while the house was crowded with people, this person was indeed quite good at managing his household and people.
Zhu Ying didn't care about that. She came over and looked out of Zhang Shou's window. Then she whispered, "Look, my second brother and Zhu Gongquan are already at the door!"
In addition to Zhan Jin, one of Zhu Ying's two trusted maids, there was also Madam Jiang who was with the Madam. Zhu Ying didn't want to bring the latter with her, but Madam Jiang blocked the carriage and waited at the Chuihua Gate with the carriage, so she couldn't get rid of her.
Seeing Zhu Ying so close to Zhang Shou, poor Zhang could only try his best to sit back while keeping his eyes straight ahead. The two of them couldn't help but exchange glances with each other, until Zhu Ying woke up as if from a dream, hurriedly sat back with an obviously abnormally red face, then they smiled secretly.
Zhang Shou didn't want to comment on Zhu Ying's behavior that could easily be misunderstood as "teasing". He coughed dryly and forced a change of subject: "Yingying, I didn't ask you in a hurry to get out just now. How did you convince Zhu Gongquan?"
Zhu Ying also tried to cover up the embarrassing scene and quickly continued the topic started by Zhang Shou.
"That's easy. I told him, don't think there's no god watching you, there are many sharp eyes in my family! When my father and eldest brother are not around, he can make my second brother run around in circles? Humph, that was my grandmother deliberately letting him go, wanting to see what he really wants to do! Hasn't he left enough evidence over the years? Throwing it out is enough to ruin his reputation and make him fall into ruin forever!"
Seeing that Zhu Ying had chosen this point of entry, Zhang Shou nodded and lowered his voice to ask, "What evidence does he have?"
"How would I know?" Zhu Ying blurted out these four words directly. Seeing Zhang Shou's eyes widen, she explained nonchalantly, "Of course I deceived him on purpose! This kind of person is full of schemes. He can think of ten things for every one you say. I don't believe he can be so clean without any dust. When I said this, his face turned as pale as paper."
This simple, crude, yet effective method is indeed only for young ladies...
Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, but he also praised Zhu Ying a few words. Thinking about how he had played the role of a confidant in front of Zhu Er again, it was really a matter of training a dog and a cat, using both soft and hard tactics, and combining kindness and power. It took a lot of effort, so he wanted to sigh. It was not until he saw Zhu Er had brought Zhu Gongquan to the gate of Lu Mansion that he immediately focused.
