Prime Minister

Chapter 239 Gathering
It was almost the day when Zhang Shi's family came to Beijing. Yang's side notified Zhang Yue and went to the pier to wait.

Zhang Yue was also speechless, he didn't even tell his younger brother about his elder brother's coming to Beijing, but he told his second aunt.

Now I need my second aunt to send someone to inform me.On the Bianjing Wharf, Zhang Yue stood aside, and Tang Jiu followed.In the distance are the chariot servants of Zhang Yu's family.

Zhang Yue waited for a while on the Bianhe pier before he saw a Bianhe boat approaching.

A 30-year-old man was watching from the bow of the boat.

When Zhang Yue saw it, his heart felt hot, and he hurried to the pier, followed by Tang Jiu.

But when the boat came close to the shore and put down the planks.

Fang, a 30-year-old man, came out of the boat, but turned his head and froze on the spot. When Zhang Yue rushed forward to bow down and was about to speak, he felt that his throat was stuck and he couldn't make a sound.

"Third brother."

The other party helped Zhang Yue up, rubbed his eyes repeatedly and said, "I've changed my appearance after being away from home for so many years, let me take a good look."

Zhang Yue stood up straight and looked at Zhang Shi. At this moment, he felt the ruthlessness of the years, and he had only been away from home for three years.

Zhang Yue wanted to reach out to wipe away his tears, but he couldn't move his hand. It turned out that his brother was holding his hands tightly and refused to let go.

Zhang Yue turned his head away, but saw Yu Shi holding Zhang Qiu in his arms but weeping and not saying a word by the cabin.

The wind of the Bianhe River blows gently, and the hull of the ship shakes slightly with the ups and downs. How many ships have been sent away since then, and how many ships have returned, and how many scenes of separation and reunion have been staged every day.

Zhang Shizhang turned around and wiped away tears.

Yu Shi Zhangqiu also got off the boat, Zhang Yue greeted Yu Shi, and Yu Shi said: "Uncle left home in fashion...Shang is about the same as Xi'er, but now he looks like a gentleman."

After speaking, there were tears in Yu Shi's eyes, but he was happy.

Zhang Yue was moved, he was really a sister-in-law like a mother.

After Mrs. Yu finished speaking, Zhang Qiu bowed to Zhang Yue and said, "I have met my third uncle."

Zhang Yue looked at Zhang Qiu, he was no longer the little nephew who hugged his thigh when they met.

Zhangqiu's appearance is just like her mother's. After years of immersion in poetry and books, she has the resolute and elegant appearance of a man.

Looking at the other party's piercing eyes, Zhang Yue said happily from the bottom of his heart, this is my young phoenix.

Zhang Yue said: "I prepared paper and pen for you, and they are all in the car now."

"Thank you, Third Uncle." Zhang Qiu said politely.

Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "Be polite."

Zhang Qiu was taken aback for a moment, but saw that Zhang Yue laughed to himself after he finished speaking.

Zhang Qiu also smiled embarrassedly.

"The car is ready. I have already found a place to stay for my brother, but why does my brother want to live with my uncle?"

Zhang Shi said: "How can you have a place to live in Bianjing?"

Zhang Yue has not yet spoken.

On the side, Yu asked, "Where did you get the house?"

He was supposed to use the house he bought for Zhang Shi's family to live in, but since it was for Senior Brother Guo to live in and the space was small, he planned to borrow the house from Wu's family for his brother and sister-in-law to live in.

Zhang Shi shook his head and said, "If it's rented, why spend so much money, I think your uncle's house is very good."

Zhang Yue didn't know how to explain for a moment.

Seeing Zhang Yue's expression, Yu guessed six or seven points: "Uncle, I heard that you said a good marriage."

Zhang Yue said: "Sister-in-law, don't ask questions knowingly."

Zhang Shi said: "What's the matter, you and your second aunt's letters are vague. I'll ask in detail in the letter, but a letter will take half a year on the road, and you don't make it clear. Which Wu family is it? It's really Wu." Is it not possible in the Xianggong family?"

Zhang Yue replied: "Yes, Mr. Wu Dalang's younger sister."

Zhang Shixi said: "It's actually true."

Zhang Yue said: "Don't gossip, prepare the carriage, brother, you can go to your uncle's house for a short stay for two or three days. After that, I will give you a place to live."

"No, third brother, we are coming to Beijing, have you informed the Wu family?"

"Not yet."

Zhang Shi suddenly said angrily: "You are so ignorant."

At that moment, Zhang Shi thumped towards the carriage.

Zhang Yue said heartily, he quarreled as soon as they met, what kind of anger is this?
The servants of Zhang's mansion unloaded all the luggage from the boat, and the old Du Guan stepped forward to salute.

The old capital pipe: "The place to live has been arranged, and I also invite Da Langjun and Da Niangzi's family to go to rest."

Zhang Shi said: "Thank you for taking care of me. But I still want to meet my uncle and aunt first."

The old man smiled and said: "It was originally arranged to see you tomorrow, Mr. Da Lang, if you don't feel tired of traveling, you can go to the house."

Zhang Shi nodded, and the family went to Zhang Yu's house immediately.

As soon as Zhang Shi arrived at Zhang Yu's mansion, he couldn't help exclaiming: "It's so angry! The palace is nothing more than that!"

Zhang Yue wiped his sweat beside him, really wanting to pretend he didn't know him.

Old Du Guan smiled and said: "Mr. Da Lang has boasted that our mansion in Bianjing is just like an ordinary official's house."

Zhang Shi sighed, "So that's how it is."

After entering the second gate, Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Dun's daughter-in-law, were waiting in the hall.

There was some sadness and joy when we met.

When the second aunt recommended Zhang, she bowed to Xiang Zhangshi.Seeing this gentle and modest woman, Zhang Shi couldn't help but praise: "What a good woman, a good sister-in-law."

Mrs. Zhang was praised by Zhang Shi and was full of joy.

Zhang Shi immediately took out the gold bracelet and put it in the other party's hand, saying: "Back then, the family was in poverty, and all the valuable utensils were pawned off. Only the gold bracelets belonged to the father and mother, and the remaining two pairs were not willing to sell. This one is for you, and the other one is kept. To the third brother and daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Mrs. Yang and said, "I'm ashamed to accept it."

Yang wiped her tears and said, "Take it, they are brothers."

Zhang Shi said: "Second aunt, now you have arranged the marriage of the third brother, found such a good wife for Brother Dun, and trained him to become a Jinshi and become an official. The original matter is over, and we will not owe anything. "

Zhang Yue said heartily, brother, you are too...

Yang shook her head and said: "No, I owe your family forever, and I will never pay it back in this lifetime."

Speaking of Yang's tears falling, Zhang and Yu rushed forward to persuade him.

Everyone sat down to talk, and then someone told Zhang Yu that he was not feeling well and would not come.

The family sat down to a potluck.

While speaking, someone from the side came to report: "Wu Caoshuai's mansion sent someone to come to the door."

Everyone was stunned, and Yang explained: "I have already informed the Wu family about Brother Shi's coming to Beijing."

Zhang Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Second Aunt is still very thorough."

Not long after, a member of the Wu family came to invite Zhang Shi with a post. Zhang Yue came to the door and said that Wu Chong also happened to return to Bianjing to report his duties, and he was about to be transferred to Huaidong Transit Envoy.

Wen Yanbo stayed behind in Luoyang, and Wu Chong was the transshipment envoy in Xijing, but the two in-laws are very close.

There is also an interesting fact that there is a transfer judge in the transfer department named Tang Yiwen, whose father is Tang Jie.

Tang Jie impeached Wen Yanbo and lost his chancellor, Tang Yiwen worried that Wen Yanbo would retaliate against him.

Unexpectedly, after Wen Yanbo took office, he approached Tang Yiwen and said that your father was right to impeach me, but in the end I lost the chancellor and your father was demoted.Later, when I returned to the court and served as prime minister again, I told the officials that I wanted to be reinstated, so I would reinstate the two of them together in the officialdom. Now our affairs have long been overturned.

Tang Yiwen was very moved when he heard this, and since then he has been under Wen Yanbo's door.

One of Tang Jie's impeachment charges against Wen Yanbo was arbitrariness and arrogance to the party, but now his son has become Wen Yanbo's party member.

As for Wen Yanbo, he also took good care of Wu Chong.

It can be said that Wu Chong's tenure was smooth and smooth, and now he is going to be transferred to Huaidong as a transshipment envoy.

This is also the experience of the imperial court for him, and he will definitely be transferred back to the center when the opportunity comes in the future.

The Yang family knew that the Wu family had a bright future, and if Zhang Yue was to be an official, he would have a smooth career with his father-in-law taking care of him.
