Chapter 633 Men don't have to be like jade
Beijing, Zhang Yu’s home.
As a small official in the capital, it is very, very difficult to have a property in the capital. But this is not difficult for Zhang Yu.
Originally, the family was rich, and the father-in-law was not ordinary, not to mention that the emperor valued him, so he was also glorious at the beginning.
Although this house is not big, it is just a two-entry yard. However, for many people, it is already very, very rare. Especially the location of his house is only four streets away from the palace.
At this time, standing at the door and paced back and forth from time to time, Zhang Yu felt a little nervous.
Compared to the sunshine and impatient when I came back every day, I felt really uncomfortable today.
He stood at the door and thought for a long time, but he didn't dare to walk in.
"Husband, if you move on, the ground in front of the door will collapse."
A gentle voice came over, with a bit of teasing.
Zhang Yu turned around and saw the lady standing on the porch at a glance.
Mrs. Zhang is very young, and she looks quite luxurious when wearing silk clothes. She has fair face and big eyes that are blinking as if she can speak.
With a bitter smile, Zhang Yu stepped up the steps and came to his wife.
Without any hesitation, he reached out and held the slightly cold hand of the wife, and said with distress: "Why are you out? The wind is strong at the door, go in quickly, it's cold outside."
After hearing Zhang Yu's words, the lady burst out laughing, looking at him and said in a teasing tone: "If I don't come out, when will I go in? Should I keep moving here?"
Zhang Yu looked at his wife with some embarrassment and said, "Go in a while and turn around for a while."
"Okay, come in." Mrs. Zhang turned around and took Zhang Yu's hand and walked inside.
Zhang Yu did not refuse, and let his wife pull him, stepping on the bluestone slabs all the way into the inner hall.
Mrs. Zhang served Zhang Yu as usual, carefully took off her official uniform and hung it on the clothes hanger to spread it out carefully. She then changed Zhang Yu's regular clothes and cleaned her face.
The warm tea was also ready, and someone brought it up, as well as some fruit and snacks.
When Zhang Yu sat down, Mrs. Zhang also sat down and said, "Before my husband came, I just sent my mother away. The matchmaker came with her mother."
Zhang Yu was stunned. This was something he had not expected.
"Aren't you angry?" Zhang Yu said hesitantly.
Although this is the Ming Dynasty, taking concubines is a very common thing, but it does not mean that the people in the family will be happy. Although the wife and concubines are different, they will not be less jealous.
"I believe my husband has his own difficulties." Mrs. Zhang stared at Zhang Yu and said with a smile.
"Then I'll thank you, Madam." Zhang Yu said helplessly: "Although I really want to explain the matter clearly with Madam, I can't say it yet. This matter may take a long time to talk about it. I hope Madam will not blame it."
"Actually, after my mother came, I understood a little." Mrs. Zhang said: "Although I don't understand what's going on, I also know that this is what you do big things should do. I heard that you want to take this woman to North Korea, it's fine, there is someone to serve you."
Zhang Yu suddenly fell silent.
He cannot tell the truth about North Korea, even his own wife cannot tell. If he says it, it will hurt his wife.
"Okay, you're ready. I'll go and see why their supper isn't ready yet." Mrs. Zhang stood up and walked out.
After hearing this, Zhang Yu felt ache in his heart and reached out to hold her.
He looked up at his wife and said, "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely keep you as beautiful as a jade."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang gave him a blank look and said angrily: "Where is a man who can keep his body as good as jade? Besides, no matter what reason, when someone enters the door, he must treat him well. You have to keep your body as good as jade. What should I do? Be a widow for the rest of your life? They are all women. As long as she doesn't do anything, it's better than anything else. If she can take good care of my husband in North Korea, I will also remember this love."
After hearing this, Zhang Yu directly held his wife in his arms and said, "She also knows that we will not be a husband and wife. Don't worry, you will know after the matter is over."
"I understand." Mrs. Zhang dragged her long voice and said, "Go to have a meal first."
After saying that, she pulled Zhang Yu out, but still said, "You two are in North Korea, it doesn't matter if you are married."
Zhang Yu glanced at his wife without refuting.
He was a little inaccurate and wanted to leave some room for himself.
If something happens when I really come to North Korea, and recall my confession with my wife, this is not an ordinary thing. Now if you say the big talk, it will be embarrassing if something happens to you.
After having supper together, the couple had a harmonious and wonderful night.
The next morning, Zhang Yu got up early.
While rubbing his waist, he left the yamen and headed towards the Ministry of Revenue.
What he wants to do today is very simple, which is to recruit people. He basically doesn’t need to interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue. What he wants to do now is to find people.
There is a suitable candidate for the Ministry of Revenue, after all, you cannot find it from your classmates. There is someone who is very interested in Zhang Yu, and this person is Liao Daoyan.
When Zhang Yu came to the Ministry of Revenue, he met many people who smiled and said hello, and his mouth was full of words such as congratulations.
Zhang Yu knew that the official documents and decrees had not been issued yet, but the news had already spread. Everyone knew that he had been promoted and was going to serve in North Korea. The court had already given him an official position, the Minister of Rites and the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple,
Under such circumstances, more people want to curry favor with him. After all, everyone knows that Zhang Yu is not the end of this time. After all, before that, Zhang Yu was an official who was very popular with everyone and was still popular a few years ago.
Although Zhang Yu is in decline now, everyone knows that this is called accumulation of strength.
Now that it has accumulated, it will naturally explode.
This may only be the beginning. The Minister of Rites is the Minister of Rites. This official position is very thick and will definitely be even thicker in the future. Everyone came to flatter, thinking that they would be able to get support in the future.
Zhang Yu had no disgust towards these people, as it was the case in the officialdom. He agreed with a smile, with a friendly attitude.
Zhang Yu can be said to be familiar with this kind of thing. After being in the officialdom for so long, he is very familiar with this.
He talks and is friendly and has a friendly attitude, but it is not the case when he is doing things.
Zhang Yu did this while walking in, but the speed was a bit slow. It was not a long way to go, but it took him a long time to get inside.
Zhang Yu soon came outside Liao Daoyan's door.
No one expected that Zhang Yu was actually here to find Liao Daoyan.
Compared to Zhang Yu, Liao Daoyan is considered very famous because he is ugly. There is another saying, that is, Liao Daoyan is a bit special.
Everyone cares about Zhang Yu and Liao Daoyan. Originally, they didn’t seem to have any intersection, so why did this suddenly come?
Many people don’t understand and can’t help but pay attention to this place.
After pushing the door and walking in, Zhang Yu saw Liao Daoyan at a glance.
Liao Daoyan also heard the movement, raised his head, and saw Zhang Yu at a glance.
Liao Daoyan was stunned, and did not expect to see Zhang Yu here.
After all, the news of Zhang Yu's promotion has long spread throughout the Ministry of Revenue. In this case, why did he return it to the Ministry of Revenue?
Liao Daoyan was a little confused. At this time, the sea was wide and the fish leaped, and the sky was high and the birds were flying. What should I do when I returned to this dilapidated place?
But he still stood up with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhang."
"Mr. Liao." Zhang Yu also quickly returned the greeting and said with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Liao can talk about it for a few words?"
"Please forgive me for your sins," said Liao Daoyan: "I still have some work on my hands, so I'm afraid I can't talk to Lord Zhang. If Lord Zhang has anything to do, just give me instructions; if not, I'll work."
This attitude stunned everyone, and no one expected Liao Daoyan to say this.
Zhang Yu didn't expect it, but he didn't care. He looked at Liao Daoyan and said, "Then I'll just say it here."
"I want you to go to North Korea with me."
As soon as these words came out, the room became quiet again.
This is another thing that no one expected.
Zhang Yu wanted to choose Liao Daoyan to go to North Korea together. Everyone knew that this was an opportunity to make contributions, and the key was that there was no danger.
North Korea has always been respectful to the Ming Dynasty. In this case, going to North Korea will definitely make a lot of benefits, and there is no major event. It is just a process and has made contributions. After returning, it will be successful.
How could Zhang Yu let Liao Daoyan go?
Are the relationship between them so good?
Liao Daoyan didn't expect Zhang Yu to make this request. He frowned, looked up at Zhang Yu and said hesitantly, "Can you refuse?"
This is another answer that no one expected.
One dares to invite, the other dares not to go.
"Why?" Zhang Yu looked at Liao Daoyan and asked curiously: "This is an opportunity."
Liao Daoyan nodded and said with a puzzled look: "I know this is an opportunity. Lord Zhang is also supporting me. But I don't want to leave the capital, nor do I want to leave the Ministry of Revenue. My mother is old and her parents are not traveling far away. I want to stay in the capital to take care of my mother. Please understand."
This reason is invincible.
Filial piety!
Everyone looked at Zhang Yu, wanting to see what he reacted.
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then you won't be embarrassed. I'll disturb you."
After saying that, Zhang Yu turned around and walked out.
Liao Daoyan stood there and quietly looked at Zhang Yu who was leaving.
Things were a bit complicated, but he didn't speak out after all.
After leaving the Ministry of Revenue, Zhang Yu turned a corner and saw a very familiar carriage parked not far away.
He hesitated a little, but he walked up, stood three meters away from the carriage, and asked with some caution: "Why follow me?"
Chapter completed!
