The next day was the day when Mr. Xu Ge made an appointment with Zhang Juzheng for dinner.
Mr. Zhang, just like Zhao Hao yesterday, tidied up carefully before going out, and even asked his wife to put on smoky makeup to look more haggard.
Looking at the obvious dark circles in the mirror, as if he had not slept for several nights, Zhang Juzheng nodded with satisfaction.
"Master, please be careful, you won't cry with this makeup." Mrs. Gu carefully reminded him while patting his face yellow with a powder puff: "Otherwise, it will be a waste."
"Oh?" Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but shuddered as he thought of the little lady he had let down when he was young, and her painted face when she was sad and crying.
Today¡¯s trip to the Xu Mansion made me burst into tears even if I couldn¡¯t help it.
I really can¡¯t imagine what it would be like to cry like a baby in front of the teacher.
?????????????????
"Wipe it off." Mr. Zhang's beard curled up.
??~~
When Zhang Juzheng arrived at Xu Mansion, he saw Xu Yuanchun waiting at the door.
"Welcome Shibo." Xu Yuanchun greeted Zhang Juzheng very respectfully and helped Zhang Juzheng out of the car.
"Yuan Chun, you didn't go to the Imperial College?" Zhang Juzheng still had a good impression of Mr. Xu Ge's grandson. At least the child didn't have any evil intentions.
It¡¯s just that sometimes I get distracted and don¡¯t look very smart.
"Hui Shibo, I have been uneasy at home these days, so I asked the professor for leave." Xu Yuanchun replied and introduced Zhang Juzheng into the back house.
"Grandpa has been in poor health recently, otherwise he would have welcomed Shibo in person." Xu Yuanchun explained in a low voice to lead him to Xu Jie's bedroom.
"Go and see your father first." Zhang Juzheng said softly.
"Okay." Xu Yuanchun took him to Xu Fan's residence.
When he came to the door, Zhang Juzheng saw Xu Fan lying on a soft chair and sunbathing in the door.
"Who is here?" Xu Fan opened his eyes with difficulty, adjusted his eyes to the face of the visitor, and said with an 'oh': "Brother Taiyue."
"Yes, father, Zhang Shibo is here to see you." Xu Yuanchun quickly helped Xu Fan sit up, and then propped up the back of the recliner.
Zhang Juzheng looked at Xu Fan's bell-like eyelids and couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Ge has suffered a lot."
"This is much better. It was as swollen as a peach two days ago and I couldn't even open my eyes." Xu Yuanchun introduced crisply.
"Ahaha" Xu Fan seemed to have been drained of all his energy. He was very depressed and weak. He could not see the arrogant and domineering Xiaoge elder he used to be.
He grabbed Zhang Juzheng's hand and cried: "Brother Taiyue, you have to make the decision for me. That beast named Zhao beat me like this and spit in my face Hahaha "
Zhang Juzheng did not expect that the number one scholar would completely destroy the arrogant Xiaoge Lao with one powerful punch.
It seems that the physical damage is secondary, and the main reason is the mental damage of 100,000 points.
It¡¯s really embarrassing.
Being an official is all about dignity. If someone were to replace the official next to him, he would be beaten to the ground in front of hundreds of officials and even have phlegm spit in his face. Even if the court dealt with the attacker, he would not be able to return to his original office and would have to seek external transfer and start over.
Not to mention that Xiaoge Lao, who is extremely good-looking, would be more painful than killing him.
"Brother Taiyue, you must say this for me." Xu Fan touched his chest and said, "Otherwise, brother, I will have to suffocate myself to death"
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiaoge, the court will definitely handle this matter impartially." Zhang Juzheng hurriedly expressed his position.
"You're so fair!" Xu Fan didn't believe his carelessness. "I asked Dong Xuanzai yesterday, but I haven't caught the guy named Zhao yet!"
"We have been searching with all our strength. As soon as we find him, we will arrest him and punish him immediately." If he cannot be found, there is nothing we can do.
"The capital is so big. If he deliberately hides, how can he find a needle in a haystack?" Xu Fan stared hard at the slits of his eyes, trying to express his anger and said:
"Arrest his family members. If he doesn't show up, they will all be thrown into prison!"
"His family is all famous. The matter is so big and there are so many pairs of eyes watching. It's hard for the Ministry of Punishment to arrest people at will." Zhang Juzheng sighed and said: "Mr. Xiaoge, please rest peacefully. I will inform you as soon as there is any news. "
After saying that, he stopped talking to Mr. Xiao Ge, who had a severe post-injury stress reaction, and went to Mr. Xu's bedroom to say hello.
??~~
When Zhang Juzheng came to the front door, he saw Xu Jie standing at the door with his hands behind his back and a smile.
That energetic look, why??A trace of illness?
It seems that the so-called bed rest due to illness is just based on needs.
"Master." Zhang Juzheng took two steps quickly and saluted Mr. Xu Ge.
"Hahaha, uncle, please forgive me." Xu Jie laughed loudly and said, "Why are you free today and why are you here so early?"
"When teachers teach each other, I dare not neglect them." Zhang Juzheng replied respectfully. In fact, the cabinet is very idle right now and can¡¯t even do anything if it wants to
"Hey, how many times have I told you, now that you are a first-class official and a bachelor of Dongge University, you no longer need to hold the junior ceremony." Xu Jie walked down the steps with a kind face and helped Zhang Juzheng up.
"Everything a student has is given by his mentor." Zhang Juzheng said more respectfully: "Without his mentor, there would be no Shuda today. This has nothing to do with the status of Shuda."
"Oh, aha" Xu Jie looked deeply at his most respected good student, as if he wanted to see from his face how sincere his words were.
Of course it¡¯s very good. The admiration on Xianggong Zhang's handsome face could melt people's hearts.
"Let's go in and talk." Xu Jie patted Zhang Juzheng on the shoulder and said in his heart that he was a disciple.
Zhang Juzheng helped Xu Jie into the study room. He first helped the teacher sit down on the imperial chair, and then sat down at attention.
"Ever since the Prime Minister resigned, I have always wanted to invite two bachelors to come and say hello, but there are too many things in the court these days, and I have never been able to make time."
"I can't blame you. It's because I gave up my choice and caused so much trouble to the court." Xu Jie said with a hint of shame on his face: "I thought you three would be fine, but I didn't expect it was a little early. .¡±
"What the teacher said is wrong, not just a little early?" Zhang Juzheng sighed inwardly. The teacher was really anxious and went straight to the topic as soon as he got up. Busy, he was ten times ashamed and said:
"On weekdays, when the Prime Minister is around, I don't find it difficult to deal with government affairs. But after the Prime Minister left, I realized that discussing Taoism, Jing State, and regulating Yin and Yang is not that simple."
"Hahaha, you just know it, Taiyue." Wasn't this what Xu Ge was waiting for when he made such a fuss? Regardless of whether Zhang Juzheng is sincere or fake, if he can say this, he has achieved his goal.
Due to the situation, Mr. Xu Ge, whose comeback conditions have been lowered again and again, is very easy to satisfy.
"Normally, the years are peaceful, but there are people carrying the burden for you" The wrinkles on Mr. Xu Ge's face have relaxed a lot.
"Yes." Zhang Juzheng said sincerely, "Teacher, it's far from time to let go. We still have a lot to learn."
"Hey, I'm exhausted. Since this spring, I've been having trouble sleeping every night, I've been dizzy during the day, and my energy is not as good as the day" Mr. Xu Ge said with a red face.
