The 276th chapter bears the burden and moves forward with the old Xu Ge
The next day was the day when Mr. Xu asked Zhang Juzheng for dinner.
Just like Zhao Hao yesterday, Mr. Zhang carefully cleaned up before going out, and asked his wife to put on smoky makeup... so she looked even more haggard.
Looking at the obvious dark circles in the mirror, as if he had not closed his eyes for several nights, Zhang Juzheng nodded with satisfaction.
"Master, you have to pay attention, you can't cry with this makeup." Gu clapped his face with a pink puff, and reminded carefully: "Or it will be spent."
"Oh?" Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but think that the little lady whom he failed when he was young, her face when she was sad and crying could not help but shivered.
Today's trip to Xu's mansion would be like rain.
I really can’t imagine what kind of scene would it be like to cry in front of the teacher?
Bugu doesn't sing opera...
"Damn it." Zhang Xianggong's beard was curled up.
~~
When Zhang Juzheng arrived at Xu's mansion, he saw Xu Yuanchun waiting at the door.
"Welcome to the uncle of the world." Xu Yuanchun held the courtesy very respectfully and helped Zhang Juzheng out of the car.
"Yuanchun, didn't go to the Imperial College?" Zhang Juzheng had a good impression of the grandson of Ge Lao Xu, at least this child has no bad intentions.
Sometimes I feel distracted and look not very smart.
"Uncle returned to the world, my family has been uneasy these days, so I specially asked the professor for leave." Xu Yuanchun replied and introduced Zhang Juzheng to the back house.
"Grandpa is not in good health recently, otherwise he would have welcomed Uncle Shi himself." Xu Yuanchun explained in a low voice, trying to lead him to Xu Jie's bedroom.
"Let's go and see your father first." Zhang Juzheng said softly.
"Okay." Xu Yuanchun took him to Xu Fan's residence.
When he arrived at the door, Zhang Juzheng saw Xu Fu lying on a soft chair, basking in the sun in the door.
"Who is here?" Xu Fan opened his eyes with difficulty and adjusted the person's face. Fang said with a 'oh': "Brother Taiyue."
"Yes, father, Uncle Zhang is here to see you." Xu Yuanchun quickly helped Xu Fu sit up, then raised the back of the recliner.
Zhang Juzheng looked at Xu Fan's pair of bell-like eyelids and couldn't help but sigh: "The little master is suffering."
"This is much better. It was swollen like a peach the other day, and I couldn't even open my eyes." Xu Yuanchun introduced crisply.
"Ahhaha..." Xu Fan seemed to have been exhausted, and he was very depressed and weak, and he could not see the arrogant and domineering old master in the past.
He grabbed Zhang Juzheng's hand and cried, "Brother Taiyue, you have to make the decision for me. The beast named Zhao beat me like this and spitted on my face...hahaha..."
Zhang Juzheng did not expect that the top scholar Lang would completely destroy the arrogant little master with one punch.
It seems that physical damage is second, mainly due to the fact that he suffered 100,000 points of mental damage.
It's really embarrassing.
As an official, he is decent. If the officials are replaced, they will be beaten to the ground in front of all the officials and spit on their faces. They will be shameless to see others. Even if the court handles the beatings, they will not be able to return to their original yamen to work. They can only seek external transfers and start over.
Not to mention the extremely proud little master, he was even more painful than killing him.
"Brother Taiyue, you must let this breath for me." Xu Fan touched his chest and said, "Other, I will be suffocated to death..."
"Don't worry, the court will definitely handle this matter impartially." Zhang Juzheng hurriedly stated.
"How impartial!" Xu Fan didn't believe his sloppy eyes. "I asked Dong Xuanzai yesterday, but he hasn't caught the guy named Zhao yet!"
"We have been searching for him with all our might. As soon as we find him, we will be arrested and punished immediately." There is nothing we can do if we can't find it.
"The capital is so big. If he deliberately hides, how can he find a needle in a haystack?" Xu Fan stared hard at the crack of his eyes, trying to express his anger:
"Catch his family and if he doesn't show up, he will throw them into prison!"
"He has good fortune and good fortune in his family. The matter is so big that he has many eyes fixed on him. It is not easy for the Ministry of Justice to arrest people at will." Zhang Juzheng sighed and said, "The little master rests with peace of mind. I will notify you when there is any news."
After saying that, he stopped dealing with the little Ge Lao who had severe stress reaction after the post-campus, and turned to Mr. Xu's bedroom to greet him.
~~
When he arrived in front of the steps, Zhang Juzheng saw Xu Jie standing at the door with his hands behind his back and smiling.
How could that look so energetic?
It seems that the so-called bedridden due to illness is only determined according to needs.
"Master Master." Zhang Juzheng took two steps quickly and gave a deep salute to Master Xu.
"Hahaha, uncle, please give up the gift." Xu Jie laughed loudly and said, "Why are you free today? Come here so early?"
"The teacher is in contact with each other, so naturally he dare not neglect." Zhang Juzheng replied respectfully. In fact, the cabinet is very idle now and can't even do it if you want to work...
"Hey, I've said it many times. Now you are a first-class official and a senior citizen of the Dongge. Don't hold the junior rituals anymore." Xu Jie went down the steps with kind face and helped Zhang Juzheng up.
"Everything about students is given by the minister." Zhang Juzheng said more respectfully: "Without a minister, there would be no uncle who is today. This has nothing to do with the position of uncle."
"Oh, ahha..." Xu Jie looked at the good student he valued the most deeply, as if he wanted to see from his face that this statement was a bit sincere.
Of course it's tense. The admiration on Mr. Zhang's handsome face can completely melt people's hearts.
"Go in and talk." Xu Jie patted Zhang Juzheng on the shoulder and said his heart to the point of being a disciple.
Zhang Juzheng helped Xu Jie into the study, first helped the teacher sit on the Grand Master's chair, and then sat upright on the lower head.
"Since my master resigned, I have always wanted to invite two great scholars to greet you, but there has been too much trouble in the court these days, and I have never been able to make up the time."
"I don't blame you. It was me who gave up the move and caused so much trouble to the court." Xu Jie said with a look of shame on his face: "I thought you three must be fine, but I didn't expect it to be a little earlier."
"The teacher's words are not just a little earlier?" Zhang Juzheng sighed in his heart. The teacher was really anxious. He went straight to the point as soon as he got up. He was so anxious that he said ten times ashamed:
"When the teacher and the minister are in the ordinary day, I don't think it's too difficult to deal with the government. But when the teacher and the minister leave, they know that it's not that simple to discuss the Tao and govern the yin and yang."
"Hahaha, you only know, Taiyue." Isn't Xu Ge Lao just waiting for this sentence? No matter whether Zhang Juzheng is sincere or false, if he can say this sentence, he will achieve his goal.
Due to the situation, Xu Ge Lao, who has been relocating, has been very easy to satisfy.
"The years are peaceful on weekdays, but someone is carrying the burden on you..." The wrinkles on Mr. Xu's face were stretched a lot.
"Yes." Zhang Juzheng was taught sincerely: "The teacher is far from letting go, and we still have a lot to learn."
"Oh, I'm powerless. Since this spring, I can't sleep every night, I'm always dizzy during the day, and my energy is getting worse day by day..." Mr. Xu said with a flushed face.
