go astray with spring

Chapter 16

Zhang Zichu wandered around the backyard of Bixia Village, he didn't want to go back to the front hall, so he simply found a remote place to stay.He asked Changchun to find a shelter from the wind, and sat there contentedly, not going out.

It's a pity that he doesn't provoke others, and it's still inevitable that he will lie down. The so-called halo of the protagonist may really exist.

There are a few young men chatting together, and the conversation has been going on around him, which is quite strange.

"Have you heard? The No. [-] Xianggong has lived in the General's Mansion for a while, and it is said that he and General Qi are in pairs."

"Tsk tsk, that's not all. Originally, the General's Mansion was the most benevolent place in the whole capital. Although General Qi governed the army strictly, he never punished his subordinates. Although there were few people in his mansion, everyone was lucky. Who After knowing that Mr. Zhang has gone, the servants were beaten badly because of poor hospitality."

"Mr. Zhang looks like a weak scholar, why is he so vicious?"

"Think about it, he can't be a concubine, and he doesn't have friendship with the lord, so if he moves in suddenly, his tail will go up to the sky. Isn't he just trying to show his prestige in front of the servants, so naturally no one in the mansion would dare to look down on him."

"I think he is a disaster. Have you heard that he moved away recently. It's only been less than a month, and I'm tired of playing."

"What do you know! It's just that the rumors have been too tight recently, and it has been spread with nose and eyes. If he doesn't avoid suspicion, he may not even be able to be an official."

"I think he is a disaster at all, whoever touches it will be unlucky."

"Isn't it? I heard from Mo Tong that the number one scholar was beaten to death by his lord just because he invited him to this party. It is said that he seems to be fine now when he goes out, but in fact the injury is not healed yet. "

Zhang Zichu frowned, he never expected that Wu Man was beaten because of himself, but in the book and memory, he didn't have a deep friendship with this person.

"I think the number one scholar is also too kind. He thinks it's not a problem if there are a few people from the same department. Otherwise, the other young masters have never invited him to a party. The last time Tanhualang invited everyone to Tongfutang for dinner, wouldn't it be Didn't you invite him?"

A few young men continued to chat about family affairs, and what they said became more and more unbearable, Chang Chun's face turned pale when he heard it, and he was about to rush out to argue.

Zhang Zichu pulled him back, signaling not to be impulsive, and the master and servant sat quietly until the group dispersed.

"Master, why don't you let me go out and argue with them?"

"Is there any good theory? They all think so, how can I prove my innocence? What's more, what other people say, it doesn't matter. You go and invite Mr. Wu to come, just say that I have something to ask him."

In fact, Wu Man is not in good health, and since he is the owner of this place, Zhang Zichu shouldn't invite him, but go see him himself.But he thought that he would have to face everyone when he went there, in case his quarrels were always bad, anyway, his reputation would be ruined, so it doesn't matter if he is more impudent and rude now.

He returned to the pond where Qiao Dong had been sitting just now, and fed the fish with fish food in his hand, but after a while, all the fish in the pond gathered.The bubbles on the surface of the water kept blooming, and the fishes, big and small, were desperately scrambling for food. It was so lively.

He used to like feeding koi the most in the park, and went to look up fish breeding information several times, but the work was too slow, and he couldn't take care of himself at work, so he didn't dare to raise it at home.

When Wu Man walked to the backyard, he saw him bowed by the pond, throwing fish food from time to time, and there were several fallen leaves on his head and body, but he didn't seem to notice it at all, and was looking at the koi in the pond with excitement.

He glanced at Changchun, the latter understood and did not disturb him, but obediently left.

The fish food in Zhang Zichu's hand was soon finished, and he was about to go to the side to get it, when he saw a hand handing it over, he quickly took it and fed it out.

"Changchun, why did you come back alone, where is Mr. Wu?"

He was feeding, but the person behind him said with a smile: "Brother Zhang seems to like the fish here very much, how about I give you a few?"

The voice was definitely not Changchun, Zhang Zichu had no choice but to put down the fish food, but Wu Man also started feeding.

"That's not necessary. I give away all the flowers and birds in my house, and there are fish in the pond, so don't bother Brother Wu." His house is not his own. When the time comes to move, will he take the fish from the pond?He likes the koi here, but unfortunately he doesn't have a house, and he doesn't want to raise fish in a fish tank.It is a common affliction of ancient and modern times.

Seeing that he folded his hands, Wu Man said again: "Isn't it better for us to chat while feeding?"

Zhang Zichu had no choice but to pick up the fish food and continue, but he no longer had the leisurely mind just now, he just said: "I went to look for you that day, but I didn't expect to be of help, I wonder how your injury is?"

What he said was to report to Prince Rui's Mansion, but he didn't move the big Buddha. The most important thing is that the source of the beating of the man in front of him fell on himself.Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty.

"It's fine to cultivate for a few days, and there is no hindrance. Brother Zhang laughed at me. My father has always been like this. I hope you don't care."

Zhang Zichu thought to himself: I want to have a son who is admitted to be number one in the country, so no matter what, I don't want to touch him.But forget it, anyway, this life is destined to have no children, so there is no need to think about it.

However, this person is very kind, so I don't know why he was beaten because of him. Could it be that the old man heard something wrong?

"I'm a little tired today, and I want to talk to Brother Wu, and I'll go back to my residence right away, so I won't bother you here."

"Why so fast? Is it because I didn't entertain well?"

"It's really not, I hope Brother Wu will forgive me."

Thinking of how other people here viewed him, he didn't want to stay for a minute.The fact that King Rui poisoned himself must have been kept a secret, otherwise it would damage his reputation if it was spread out.

He also didn't want to offend such a great Buddha in the capital, and it was not a big deal for him to be dumb.Maybe that's fine, no one will say goodbye to him in the future, and it's over.

"Brother Zhang, there is something I don't know whether I should ask." Wu Man seemed very conflicted, seeing that he had no intention of refusing, he boldly continued, "Did Brother Zhang ever get married?"

"My first wife passed away three years ago." Zhang Zichu said flatly.

"Then do you have any children?"

Is this an account check?Although he didn't know his intentions, Zhang Zichu shook his head honestly.

"I don't know if Brother Zhang has any plans to continue the family? Nowadays, there are many people in the capital, and you have no one to take care of you at home. Why don't you marry your stepmother as soon as possible, or..."

Is this guy euphemistically persuading himself, marrying a wife to break the rumor?Not to mention that he doesn't want to harm his sister, even if he wants to marry, God knows if Qi Yufeng will go crazy.

He smiled and said: "Thank you, brother Zhang, for your kindness. I have my own opinion on this matter. Let me leave."

He bowed and left, and when he went outside, he saw Chang Chun guarding him, so he went straight to the door.Wu Man followed and was about to see him off when he saw Zhang Zichu getting into the carriage and shouted from inside.

"Brother Zhang, is there something wrong?"

"No, no, Brother Wu, I will take my leave."

Zhang Zichu hurriedly waved his hand, signaling his servants to leave quickly, but he didn't want someone in the carriage to say, "Why do you see me so scared?"

The voice seemed to be Qi Yufeng, Wu Man and the others saw that he didn't show up, so they couldn't say anything, they just watched the carriage go away.

Zhang Zichu was very annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. He smiled and said: "General, couldn't you see me in Prince Rui's mansion that day? I can't see you now, isn't that the best?"

Qi Yufeng knew that he was talking about the matter that he was in Prince Rui's Mansion that day and turned a blind eye to him.He didn't expect this person to hold grudges so much, so he asked, "Why did you come out of King Rui's back garden?"

"Why does the general want to meddle in my affairs!"

Qi Yufeng didn't know what to do with his flailing teeth and claws. When he was Chen Sanyue, he often picked up such a young master.He is very difficult to serve, and has a big temper. Although he is impatient, he seldom criticizes his servants, and only when he is around him is he gentle and affectionate.

Now he is completely regarded as an outsider. This feeling is very uncomfortable, but he can't imagine it.

It's a good thing that the young master has Chen Sanyue in his heart.The spies he sent to the north of the mountain had checked everything clearly, and confirmed that Zhang Zichu had indeed purchased an outhouse, and wanted to settle him down, but they didn't have time.

The spies also said that Zhang Zichu fainted from crying in front of Chen Sanyue's tomb, but now this has become a stumbling block for him to approach him.

It's just that he had a misunderstanding at the beginning, and his attitude towards him was too bad, and he didn't know how to make it up.

After Zhang Zichu lost his temper, he immediately restrained himself, and was a little scared. After all, he is now being crushed in all directions.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yufeng didn't say anything, just sat on the side silently.

"Qiao Dongfang just showed up at Bixia Village, did you send me to watch over me?"

"Yes, I can't feel at ease if I don't know your recent situation for a moment."

Zhang Zichu choked on a sip of tea, please why is it so frightening for him to say such sweet words, especially Qi Yufeng's expression was indifferent, as if he was reciting his lines.

"General Qi, have you heard the rumors in the capital?"

"Well, I let people spread it."

Zhang Zichu's eyes widened, and he looked at this person: "You know that it's not easy for me to get a good reputation, so you want to slander me? Because of this rumor, I have no hope of career, is this your purpose? General, why don't you tell me the truth, Where did the grassroots offend you?"

He expected that he would not be able to explain it, even though he knew the reason, it couldn't be put on the table.

"Your house belongs to someone else, and everyone in the mansion is full of eyeliners. Why don't you live in the general's mansion from now on. As long as you want, you can lie on the ground."

This offensive was a bit fierce. After all, he really had no choice, but out of instinct, Zhang Zichu didn't want to take advantage of it.

Thinking of what the original owner said in his dream, he was suddenly a little confused, why the guy had a blessing on his face and clearly encouraged him to snatch his boyfriend.

"General Qi, you can see that there are countless men in the world who are better than me, why should you..."

"Find someone who is better than me." Qi Yufeng ignored his words and joined the army instead.

Zhang Zichu thought in his heart that Prince Rui Wang is better than you, but he decided not to say that, so he smiled wryly: "Twisted melons are not sweet."

"You're not a melon." Qi Yufeng looked at him, and said, "I know I used to go too far, but people change, and I believe you will change my mind."

His gentle eyes are scarier than fierce him, Zhang Zichu is a little out of breath, stop looking at me like that, God, why is he so good-looking, I can't hold it anymore!
