Chapter 156

To tell you the truth, although Zhang Zhe's time in the Ministry of punishment is not too long, anyone with eyes can see what his personality is.

Last year, Mr. Chen Ying, the assistant minister, treated at xichenxuan.

On such occasions, it is inevitable to call some beautiful looking women in to "serve the drinks". Some licentious officials, who were used to being coquettish, began to tease these girls on the spot.

Mr. Zhang, with good features and cold appearance, was out of place in the crowd.

Wind dust woman saw, unavoidably move.

After all, some people who seem to be honest are actually a little bit lower than those who are straightforward. In such an occasion, it is impossible to get rid of the mud. To say the least, even if he is a real gentleman, wouldn't it be more interesting to stir him up?

So there were two girls who didn't have bones and wanted to stick them on him.

But before he got close, he stood up.

Others immediately laugh and make a noise.

However, Mr. Zhang lowered his eyebrows and said frankly that he was too weak to drink. It was inconvenient for him to disturb people's interest here, so he left first.

Then he turned and left.

At that time, everyone in xichenxuan looked at each other.

Chen Shilang's face is not good.

At the end of that time, the Ministry of punishment said in secret that Zhang Zha was neither interesting nor attractive.

Of course, the two officers also heard about it.

And they also heard about Zhang Zhe and Yao's family leaving.

Originally, the eight characters were just waiting to be skimmed, but one day they turned yellow. Although I don't know which side is going to leave first, but Yao's family is very rich. Zhang Zhe was born in a poor family. It can't be Zhang Zhe who was stupid enough to leave? After all, he agreed with the decision of marriage. So most of them were Miss Yao Xi, the noble and beautiful daughter, who was disgusted with this person's dullness and dull face, so she gave up.

They really know what kind of pie Mr. Zhang should do.

There was no smile on his face all day.

In the Yamen of the Ministry of punishment, he often arrived the earliest and left the latest. All day long, he dealt with files, homicide cases, prison sentences and laws, and some of them fell in love with him. As time passed, no one would care about him because of this inhuman and amorous manner.

But now

The two officers couldn't believe their eyes!

Just now when they were in Shuxiang Inn, they had already seen Jiang Xuening. After all, such a beautiful girl is really amazing. It's hard for people to move their eyes just by blinking. She is more beautiful than any woman they have ever seen!

Compared with her, the moth leaning on the red chamber and the willow eyebrow nestling in the green pavilion are inferior among the inferior!

If they had no business, they would be greedy.

But it never occurred to me that this girl had come after them just after they left.

And stopped

Mr. Zhang?!

The two officers looked at Jiang Xuening's eyes, and soon changed from the initial shock to pity: a pity! Such a beautiful girl has a bad brain! With such a good look, who didn't fly on the branch, how lame, eyes partial to Zhang Zhe, new year's Eve even sent something?!

The streets are full of pedestrians, cars and horses.

The two stood opposite and motionless.

It's like two sinking stones in a gentle stream.

Zhang Zha thought that he had made a decision, and he warned himself again and again. But when he saw her again, the high wall in his heart began to shake and collapse.

It's hard to be quiet.

He didn't even think Jiang Xuening would catch up with him, let alone that she would give up her reserve and ask him so directly. But on second thought, isn't that just her temperament? Publicity, domineering, bright and gorgeous, not to accept. If you flinch and worry about gain and loss, it doesn't look like her.

Jiang Xuening slightly looked up at him, a pair of eyes full of light, there is a bit of angry grievance, but she did not declare it in her mouth, even with a little overbearing to repeat the previous question: "Mr. Zhang received it?"

Clearly every sentence is care about words, but Zhang Zha feel word knife cut.

He seemed to stand in front of her unharmed, but his heart was covered with bruises and blood. He had to clench the scroll of paper in his hand to make sure his voice was as smooth as usual: "got it."

The two officers next to him looked at each other and almost suspected that they had heard the wrong thing. If you look at Mr. Zhang's usual look, you will find something unusual.

After all, Zhang Zha is now in the family.

If they listen to people's private affairs, how can they know that people will not be afraid and defensive in the future?

The two men bowed and retreated quietly. It's just that I can't help looking back when I go out for a long distance. I'm obviously curious.

Jiang Xuening was totally aware of it. When she heard Zhang Zhe's affirmative answer, her heart beat a little faster, but it was accompanied by a kind of hidden ominy, which made her heart prick like a dark needle.There is a voice in her mind, don't ask, don't ask again.

That's all. What else do you don't understand?

But the continuous pain made her have the illusion that she couldn't breathe, and also made her stubbornly ignore the voice: "what's written in it, Mr. Zhang also saw it?"

"I see," Zhang said

Jiang Xuening also gave a smile and said frankly as never before: "others say that adults are cold-blooded and hard to get along with. Can TongZhou party, Xuening is lucky to be taken care of by adults all the way, know you are actually ice gully jade pot, Qingjie has guard. Zhang Zhe, I belong to you. "

Zhang Zhe, I belong to you.

There is no ordinary women's shyness, only a cavity does not hit the south wall does not look back.

Zhang Zhe felt as if she was about to cry, but on her pale face, the smile never faded, as if she believed that she would get the answer she wanted.

Tugu market is a noisy place.

He was suddenly pulled back to his previous life by this sentence.

In the last life, Jiang Xuening said the same thing.

However, at that time, she still despised him, because he and Zhou Yinzhi were enemies. She made fun of him and embarrassed him as soon as possible.

Knowing that he was rigid and conservative, he made fun of him on purpose.

If she shows a moment's embarrassment carelessly, it often makes her laugh, as if she had won a battle.

Although he is stoic and silent, he can't help but feel angry after being teased for a long time.

On that day, in the deep winter, the courtiers were ordered into the palace to discuss business.

He lived far away from the palace. The road was slippery and he came later. When he arrived at the Qianqing palace, he saw a group of important officials, including Xie Wei, who was already the crown prince and teacher, waiting in the side hall.

As we all know, Xie Wei was an imperial teacher, and he was afraid of cold.

It's not unusual for the emperor to summon all the ministers to wait outside, but let Xie Wei wait outside, which is really unheard of and unheard of.

At the moment, an old man came in and said, "isn't the Lord calling us to come to discuss business at this time? Why are so many people waiting outside?"

Xie Weili on the steps, but also indifferent, back to answer a sentence: "the queen is inside."

Everyone looked at each other.

The old man choked for a moment, lowered his head and muttered, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Zha took a look at Qianqing palace, but he was upset for a while.

After waiting for more than half a moment, Zheng Bao, the eunuch of the Secretary for rites, bent over to send one out.

It's Jiang Xuening.

With a high bun and a delicate handstove in her arms, she has a bright pink cheek and cherry lips, but the color is lighter than usual, like rubbing off the original lipstick.

When she came out, she saw Xie Wei on the steps. Her eyes quickly crossed a trace of disgust and turned away.

When I stepped down, I saw him.

So the brilliance at the bottom of his eyes turned to fun. He deliberately raised his eyebrows and made a smile. He didn't dare to embarrass him in front of many ministers. He walked away with a group of maids.

Then Shen called them into the temple to discuss affairs.

When Zhang Zha got up after the ceremony, he happened to see the young and elegant emperor arranging back a piece of sleeves. A little cherry powder was not obviously dyed on the edge of the transparent nail cap of his right ring finger, as if there was still a tender and affectionate afterglow.

He didn't know if anyone else had noticed.

However, in the discussion for an hour, although he was fluent in his reply, when he did not speak, he was a little more imperceptible and dull than in the past.

When they left and went out of Qianqing palace, Xie Wei suddenly stopped and looked at him. He said, "the case of fraud in Jiangnan imperial examination center involves a lot. Mr. Zhang's words today are less than before."

Zhang Zhe was not familiar with the emperor.

But that moment is still in my heart.

He replied, "I have a big problem. I don't speak much about my nature, and I dare not speak in vain."

Xie Wei always smiles a little on his face and treats people very well. In winter, he often feels like a spring breeze.

But after hearing this, he didn't answer.

The old man next to him happened to come and invite him to the cabinet. Xie Wei, as if he had never mentioned anything, went to the duty room with the other assistant ministers.

Zhang Zha stood for a moment at the foot of the steps, and then walked towards Wenyuan Pavilion in the East.

The case of fraud in the imperial examination is very complicated, and even involves several past CEOs. We always have to ask the relevant people for advice.

Just a little absent-minded along the way.

Even when Jiang Xuening and the palace people came far away, he didn't see it, so he couldn't avoid it.

It seems that she went to the imperial garden. Behind her, there were several palace people with scissors at one end, while the others were holding a few sherries in their hands.

The weather is cold and the plum blossom is in full bloom.Some are red, some are white and some are yellow.

Only Jiang Xuening's thin branch, which was about a foot long and slanting, was as light green as beans. It was very rare.

I heard that a rare green plum tree was planted in the east corner of the imperial garden in the palace. It was planted by monk Yuanji who lost a bet with his imperial master Xie Wei one year after Shen Lang ascended the throne.

People in the palace are very cherish and dare not move without permission.

Jiang Xuening can fall into the hands, but it is free to fold, gently and skillfully pinch to enjoy, do not see its precious.

He knew that it was no good to run into Jiang Xuening. After bowing, he didn't want to make trouble, so he left the line and left.

If he doesn't want to go to the left, Jiang Xuening will stand on the left;

if he goes to the right, Jiang Xuening will stand on the right.

Anyway, it's just blocking him up.

Zhang Zha then knew that she was teasing again, and her face, which had been cold and indifferent, became more and more expressionless. When he caught a glimpse of her smiling at herself, he felt more upset.

He said: "I have something to do with you. Let me go."

Jiang Xuening waved his hand and told the palace people to stay away from him. Looking at his cold eyebrow, he stuck to the green plum, raised his sharp jaw, looked at his face, and joked: "Mr. Zhang has a bad temper, but his eyebrow is beautiful. What if my Palace won't let you pass? "

Such words and deeds are not like the empress of the world?

Zhang Zha finally brushed her away with a solemn face, and said coldly: "Niang Niang is the mother of a country. Her position is extremely Kunning, and her actions should have their own degree. She is the husband and the monarch. Such a frivolous remark may be criticized by the government and the public. "

Jiang Xuening seemed to have no idea that he could speak.

First, he was stunned. Then he clapped his hands as if he had found something funny. He said: "I thought you were a cucurbit with a saw mouth. Many times, I thought you were Xie Juan's second. I just felt bored. I don't think there are times when I can't hold down my anger! "

Zhang Zha was not moved, but said: "where does the empress place the saint, the lower minister, and the courtesy, justice, honesty and shame?"

This was the first time he saw Jiang Xuening in the summer resort.

Unexpectedly, although Jiang Xuening's joking look didn't change just now, she was angry at the bottom of her eyes. Instead, she made her face more colorful. She came to him, almost with her toes on his toes, and pulled the corner of her lip: "who told me to see you at the head of the palace, which means it belongs to Mr. Zhang?"

This kind of words, should be lingering love words, can be said from her mouth, but it is frivolous and surly, secretly is very sharp irony!

At that moment Zhang Zhe's patience reached ten.

Knowing that the other side was teasing him, he stepped back and looked down and said, "I'm not afraid of rumors, but I'm not afraid of gossip. I'm afraid you don't like the criticism from the government and the public. Please be careful. "

Drooping eyes, can only see Jiang Xuening that embroiders a piece of Cape of phoenix tail.

There was a moment of silence.

Then a few green plum petals came into sight, and it was Jiang Xuening who spotted the green plum in the corner of his eye. As he gently raised his eyes, there was a sharp wooden thorn at the end of the thin branch, which made a very thin blood mark in the corner of his eyes.

The pain is subtle, but it's real.

Jiang Xuening looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Mr. Zhang abides by the rules of propriety and is patient. Why can't he be calm today when he is excited by some random nonsense of our palace?"

Zhang Zhe did not speak.

Jiang Xuening's plum branch didn't take back. It was still in the corner of his eye, and his eyes moved to his cold and silent eyes. After a long time of inquiry, he suddenly burst into a smile, as if he couldn't believe it. He asked: "are you jealous?"

At that moment, Zhang Zha's patience seemed to reach the limit and walked away.

Jiang Xuening bent over behind him with a smile.

When he returned to his residence, he thought that Jiang Xuening was just talking nonsense to disturb his mind. He looked through the files, but the two absurd words in his mind couldn't go away. Jiang Xuening secretly supports Zhou Yinzhi, but Zhou Yinzhi is a disaster in the imperial court. How can he be fascinated by the color and even jealous?

It's just that she deliberately insulted him.

But he turned the file page by page, but he didn't even sort out half a clue.

The solitary lamp shone through the night, and what came to mind was the thin colored lipstick and cherry powder dyed on the emperor's nails.

Zhang zaitou hated his insightful ability.

He could see the tip of the iceberg, but he was so impatient that he couldn't read any more words. He just thought: how can there be such a bad woman in the world?

However, after a long time, when he was in prison and looked out of the cloud through the small iron window, he forgot all the bad things beside him. Instead, he always remembered that day with her playful and sharp smile, she said that joke with him -

who told me to see you again, which meant that it was Lord Zhang?

At that time, banter and acrimony, hostility and ridicule all faded from the face in the memory, leaving only the breeze and snow plum light green.She made fun of him and begged him;

she ran on him and showed occasional softness.

She dragged him into the whirlpool, but eventually the greedy man gave up his life to repay him

At this moment, after two generations, she stood in front of herself and no longer called him "Mr. Zhang" jokingly, but called him "Zhang Zha" seriously and frankly admitted that she belonged to him.

In this life, she is not a queen, he is not a minister.

They should have been together.

Zhang Zha's whole body seems to have been cut in two by the blunt knife of fate. Half of him is exposed, cold and rational; half of him is in hell, miserable and hopeless.

Trance is the day of Shangqing temple in Tongzhou.

In this life, Xie Wei, dressed in a Taoist robe and hunting, stood on the craggy rocks and asked him, "do you also belong to her?"

He stopped, silent for a long time, word by word: "I love her."

It was the most magnanimous moment of his two lives. He even threw away all the burden and got a complete release.

But Xie Wei's eyes twitched a little and only laughed. He seemed very curious and asked, "that's really strange. How does Xie feel that Zhang is more honest with others than with his sweetheart? "

He stood there for a long time, looking at Xie Wei.

Xie Wei, however, sniffed lightly, and said lightly, "Ning Er is a fool. If you have scruples, you'd better not provoke her."

The wind is not cold, people in the capital have changed into new spring clothes, and the weeping willows on the street are also faint green.

But all the flowers will bloom, but the plum will wither, right?

Zhang Zha came back.

When Jiang Xuening looked at him, he felt that the bottom of his eyes seemed to have passed the eternal struggle, and there was a sense of familiarity.

But she didn't get to the bottom of it.

Because the next moment, Zhang Zha's words made her head become blank, and a buzzing earthquake sounded, giving birth to the feeling of stepping on cotton.

Zhang Zhe looked at her and said slowly, "Miss Jiang Er, I'm sorry. I've already got someone in my heart."
