Wishful Things

Seven days later, it was time for Jia's funeral.

In such weather, seven days is the limit for storing the body. The tribe wanted to bury it in three days, but Zhan Yunzhu insisted on keeping his mother's spirit for seven days.

During these seven days, he has been guarding the mourning hall, even resting at night is no exception.

And the day after Jia's funeral, a group of palace eunuchs came to this old courtyard in the south of the city with rewards and imperial edicts.

Zhan Yunzhu and several clansmen who claimed to stay behind to take care of the follow-up matter knelt in the courtyard to receive the order.

There were also several neighbors in the courtyard who were probing their heads.

The courtyard was small, and the eunuch's voice could clearly reach everyone's ears.

Seeing the thinner young man kowtow, he took the bright yellow silk, and the people around the courtyard began to discuss in low voices.

Several clansmen also looked shocked and excited.

Help!

So many rewards... It seems that there are even houses and fields?

More importantly, this is to be an official!

Although I just heard from the eunuch that it was only a seventh grade, but it must be known that my nephew was already unable to take the imperial examination, so he was not destined for an official career... Now that there is such a turning point, is it afraid that there will be no greater prospects in the future?

Thinking in this way, one of the clansmen got up, and enthusiastically stuffed some pieces of silver into the hand of the eunuch who delivered the decree, and said with a low smile: "My nephew is still young, and I will ask my father-in-law to take care of him in the future..."

Squeezing the broken silver, the eunuch who passed the decree curled his lips in disdain in his heart.

Tsk, where did you find such broken silver? It's not easy to break into pieces like this.

However, there is still a smile on the face: "It's easy to say, easy to say."

What he valued was naturally not the bean curd money, but the new Zhongshu Sheren.

After the group of eunuchs were sent away, the clansmen returned to the hall with Zhan Yunzhu, with joyful and complicated expressions on their faces.

"You child, you have made such a great contribution, how come you haven't heard of it in the past few days?"

"What are you talking about? My brother and sister just left, where did Jinping think about such mundane things?"

"Cough, yes, yes... But I have already seen that Jinping has been a promising child since he was a child. Over the years, he has always been the hope of our clan."

"yes……"

"However, there is one thing that needs to be discussed..." The leader of the tribe sighed, looked at Zhanyunzhu, and said with some guilt: "The house in Qingyunfang was taken back earlier, not to embarrass my younger siblings and Jiaojiao deliberately, but your third uncle was seriously ill at that time, and the situation of the clan was really difficult because of your father's affairs at that time. If there was no other way, I would not have thought of selling that house..."

"This courtyard was rented by your fourth cousin for a lot of money, and it was also for the purpose of giving your mother a place to live..."

"But in this matter, there is indeed something wrong in the clan..."

Hearing these clumsy and simple excuses, Zhan Yunzhu lowered his eyes halfway, and said: "The uncles are serious, my nephew knows the difficulties in the clan. And this time, the clan's efforts in mother's funeral were all contributed by the clan, and there was no slightest treatment. My nephew saw all of these."

Hearing what he said, all the clansmen heaved a sigh of relief.

"This is as it should be..."

"But having said that, what's going on with this rescue...?"

Zhan Yunzhu answered the tribe's questions unhurriedly.

Do you really not resent these people who see the wind and move the rudder?

Naturally it is resentment.

But he never does useless actions, and he doesn't feel useless.

Who dares to say that these stupid people will be of no use to him in the future?

What's more, isn't everything in the world like this?

When you gain power, you will be surrounded by people, and all you hear are pleasant words.

When losing power, everything is reversed, and anyone can step on it.

Most people in the world are like this, nothing unusual.

And he just needs to use this to remind himself that he should never be the latter——

After the clansmen finished asking about what they needed to know, they became more active. Some went to clean up the courtyard, and some stepped on stools to remove the white silk left over from the funeral.

Amidst the noise, Zhan Yunzhu got up from his chair, walked out of the front hall slowly, holding the imperial decree in his arms, and left the courtyard step by step.

As he crossed the low, shabby, muddy threshold, he glanced back at the place he would never return to.

The carriage drove away from the old houses, passed through the bustling long street, and arrived at Qingyunfang.

The gatekeepers of Zhen Guogong's mansion heard the movement and walked out from the gatehouse.

The guard driving the carriage helped the young man in the carriage to get off.

The young man stepped up the stone steps, bowed to the disciples, and said, "I'm Zhanyunzhu, come to pay respects to the Duke and Sir."

The young disciple who had only been here for a few months was secretly surprised.

This is the son of the Zhan family who has come back from the dead and lived next to their Zhen Guogong mansion, which has been rumored in the city recently...

It is said that he is still the disciple of their second master?

Thinking of this relationship, the doorman did not neglect, and invited him to the side hall.

"Young Master Zhan, please sit down for a while. Our Duke is not in the mansion at this time, and the younger one has already asked someone to invite the Second Master to come over."

Zhan Yunzhu nodded: "I'm sorry."

...

Xu Yun frowned upon hearing what the servant said.

"Zhan Yunzhu is here?"

The servant nodded: "It is said that I came here specially to see the second master."

"I don't see you..." Xu Yun shook his head and said, "Just pass on a few words to him for me."

After the servant left, Cai Jin asked inexplicably, "Mr. Zhan, isn't this student you accepted? He escaped from death, how come you never see each other?"

Xu Yun dropped a son, and said: "Zhaozhao has explained before, let me avoid dealing with this person."

That was something that the other party had solemnly told him before he threw himself into the river.

Cai Jin nodded knowingly.

Since it was Miss Xu's confession, it is understandable that Mr. Xu has such an attitude - after all, he is afraid of being beaten by his niece.

The two were playing chess, and the servant quickly returned to the side hall.

"My second master's wind and cold are particularly severe, and it's not suitable to see guests, so he asked the villain to bring a few words to Mr. Zhan——Mr. Zhan can come back safely, the second master is very happy, and hopes to see Mr. Zhan's future is bright."

Zhan Yunzhu nodded slightly with a smile: "Please also thank Mr. Tong for me."

As he spoke, he glanced at the empty hall door, and stood up: "In that case, when Mr. Zhan recovers from his illness in the future, Zhan will visit him again."

The servant was noncommittal and made a "please" gesture.

Zhan Yunzhu turned around and left the side hall, and walked out of Zhen Guo Gong's mansion unhurriedly.

When he stepped out of the mansion gate, he saw a carriage slowly stop.

Zhan Yunzhu's eyes moved slightly, looking at the raised curtain of the carriage.

A servant girl jumped out of the car, and then a girl in an apricot shirt and skirt appeared in his line of sight.

Thank you Qinghan and He Xinging for the cute rewards, thank you for every monthly ticket
