Chapter 861: Beloved Son, Blackmail

Looking at his son in front of him, Zhang Yue couldn't help but stretched out his hand and rubbed his little head. He often traveled all over the world, but now that he has settled down, he mostly ignores family affairs, and almost all his children.

Du Wan was teaching. Seeing his son growing up day by day, although there were times when he was naughty and acted on his own, he was still sensible and progressive most of the time. Naturally, he felt very happy in his heart. However, this time, his wife asked his son to take such a message.

, but he was murmuring in his heart.

"Why did your mother let you bring this message?"

"When I sneaked home from school at noon, I saw my mother writing a letter. After writing a piece of paper, I crumpled it into a ball and burned it in the brazier. I wrote another one and it was still the same. I stepped forward and said to my mother,

On weekdays, you taught me how to hoe the crops at noon. The sweat dripped from the soil, and neither a grain of rice nor a piece of firewood was wasted. The small paper used at home now costs 1,300 yuan per knife. If it is a large paper, it will cost

One thousand six hundred pieces of paper, why did you waste all this paper now?"

Seeing Tianci next to him looking at Jingguan with wide eyes and full of amazement, Zhang Yue couldn't help but get a headache. He had also heard before that during the winter solstice holiday, Jingguan and Tianci took Meng Ang to play with several others who were about the same age.

The good little guy was busy working non-stop. In the end, he still didn't finish his homework completely, but he refused to let his servants help him to investigate, so he applied to extend the time to one month. He thought that it would be good for his son to care about the people's livelihood.

What a good thing, who would have thought that before the homework was handed in, Jingguan actually complained about his mother's waste with plausibility. He rubbed his brows and couldn't help but sigh again.

"You, you don't know how to save your mother's worries..." After thinking about how shocked Du Wan should be after hearing what Xiao Wu sent back, and then thinking about the expression on his face that was choked by the little guy's words, Zhang

The more I felt that I would have been dumbfounded at that time, so I flicked my son's forehead again, and then asked, "Then did your mother teach you a lesson later?"

Jingguan stretched out her hand to cover her head in grievance, and then snorted softly: "Mom, I don't have it. She was stunned for a while, and then praised me for being sensible and knowing how to cherish things!" At this point, the little guy's face changed.

There was excitement on his face, "It's just that when I saw my mother's worried look, I said that I was old enough to help my mother, so my mother asked me to bring food to my father in the evening, and she also asked me to bring it to my father.

I promised my mother that I will never say anything about this!"

Zhang Yue has never been a strict father. At this moment, when he saw his son raising his head with a cute expression of praise me, praise me, his thrilling feeling of not seeing the light of swords all day and night seemed to have faded a little. In the end, he couldn't help laughing.

He laughed out loud: "Well, you are indeed the eldest son of the family. Even if my father is not at home, you can still be the pillar of support!"

Tianci looked at Zhang Yue and then at the elated Jingguan. His little head was already a little confused. Although his mother, Mrs. Wang, usually loved him, as long as it was a lesson, he could only listen honestly, let alone

He said that his father Zhang Fu would never give him a smile even when he was here, but Jing Guan also contradicted his mother. Why did Zhang Yue still praise him?

Zhang Yue turned his head and saw Tianci with a confused face, and immediately thought of Zhang Fu's serious face. This wife was not the other Wang's wife. She loved Tianci, but she never spoiled him. But Zhang Fu and Jia

There is not much difference between his father and his son. When he looks at his son, his nose is not his nose, and his eyes are not his eyes, so Tianci is born to be afraid of his father. So, he had to step forward and gently press the shoulders of the future head of the British government.

.

"Goddess, you don't understand why I praise Jingguan?"

Tianci immediately shook his head, and then murmured: "If it were my mother, and I contradicted her like that, she would definitely punish me for not obeying the rules."

"It's not right for him to contradict his mother." Zhang Yue glanced at Jing Guan who was about to defend himself with a warning look, and successfully made the little guy shut up and stand behind him. Then he said softly, "But his words are correct.

, so that’s why your sister-in-law just said that he is sensible and knows how to cherish things."

"A piece of paper, a thread, and a grain of rice are naturally not worth much, but because they are small and large, if you know how to cherish these things now, you will know how to cherish the people in the future. Therefore, this is why your sister-in-law and I asked you to inquire about the prices.

Just like a piece of paper, if it goes up by ten cents, it doesn't matter to you, but there will be people from poor families who can't afford it, so they sadly end their studies and lose their literature; if a pound of meat goes up by ten cents, then there are

More people can't afford it, so they have no money in their stomachs, and they are sick and weak, or even short-lived. As for if a pound of rice increases by ten cents, it will be a major event in the world. Therefore, don't develop the habit of using things to vent your anger.

, the same is true if you encounter an elder who is angry, you need more persuasion. Of course, don’t be as straightforward as your nephew Jingguan!"

Zhang Yue said and glanced at Jing Guan again. That is to say, his son, if it were not Du Wan but another elder, when the son was in a state of distress, he could plausibly say these things, and it would be a minor offense if he did not reprimand him face to face - at least,

If it were him, he definitely wasn't in that mood at that moment. He took the two children and talked for a while, then he summoned his entourage to follow him, and ordered Haosheng to send Tianci home, and then he stared at Jingguan preemptively.

.

"It's so late. Don't follow your loyal uncle to the British park anymore. Your little aunt will have many opportunities in the future. Go home and don't let your mother worry!"

Jingguan didn't expect his little thoughts to be seen through at a glance - he specially dragged Tianci with him, firstly for the convenience of walking, and secondly because he wanted to go to the British Park to see Zhang Jing who was staying there temporarily, so he had to lower his head in despair.

Head: "Yes, Daddy."

Watching the two little guys and a dozen followers get on their horses and go their separate ways, Zhang Yue stood for a while, then turned around and entered the Yamen. After walking a few steps, he suddenly felt something and couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky.

It's winter, and it gets dark early. Even though it's only midnight, the sky is already extremely dark. At this moment, scattered snowflakes have begun to float down again without knowing when, blowing in the biting cold wind.

Roll and attack people's heads and faces from all directions.

He casually picked up a piece with his hand, and saw that the snowflake was just a tiny bit of tenderness. It turned into a drop of warm water in an instant on his already stiff hand, and then quickly disappeared. On the bluestone ground, black

On the tiles, the bare trees are still occupied by the ice formed by the heavy snowfall in the past few days. The scattered snowflakes seem to have no effect at all, but they are still frozen hard, with some snow-white coldness remaining.

Add a little more weight. I just don’t know if the ice on the roof will be a little thicker after a night of light snow, whether the bluestone ground can be skated on, and whether a few more of the bare branches will be crushed.

Zhang Yue casually patted the snowflakes on his body, and then walked in, with a random thought in his mind. It is said that the spring rain moistens everything silently, but the light snow in winter should not be underestimated. Now, the stars are dotted and looking at nothing.

Another insignificant snowfall, I wonder if it will be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

After returning to the Yamen and having dinner, he put on his casual clothes and told his confidant Zaoli to go to the Yang family to look for someone. He quietly opened the side door and left the Ministry of War, leading his horse and hiding in the light snow.

Although the entourage cannot enter the Yamen of the Ministry of War, Zhang Yue has already found a place on the North Bridge of Yuhe River, and two of his family's entourage are there every day. When he has nothing to do, he naturally only needs to rest in the room, drink tea and chat.

It will come in handy when the time comes. However, none of them expected that what came this time was not Zaoli's order, but Zhang Yue's personal arrival.

Since the emperor led his army to patrol the north, Yang Shiqi has been on duty in the palace almost every day. Although he is the first person in the cabinet, the current cabinet is still not divided into first and second assistants. Everyone has their seniority and position, but he and Yang Rong

The difference between Jin Youzi and Jin Youzi is not that big. In addition, Du Zhen and Yang Pu, who came in later, are not high-profile people, so the five-day rotation schedule can naturally cope with it. Now Yang Rong is going to Yunnan to counselor military affairs, Jin Youzi and Du Zhen

Along with the northern tour, he and Yang Pu were the only two people left in the capital. Yang Pu was too humble, so naturally he couldn't leave. So, the Yang Mansion Cultural Society was temporarily gone, and Yang Ji was free.

.

Not long after Yang Ji and his mother came to Beijing, Yang Shiqi brought the rest of his family to Beijing. With these people, big and small, the Yang Mansion Courtyard naturally became more lively. However, Mrs. Yang's health has always been poor

Not good, the eldest daughter-in-law is always waiting in front of her. In addition, she is also a lady from a scholarly family and already has a son. It is inevitable that she will be a little nervous when it comes to bed. The concubine is always cautious and timid, so Yang Ji

Now that my hands are busy and my father is away, I inevitably become bolder and often come home late.

In the evening, he returned home in the same carriage with a checkered cotton fence. He stepped on a stool in front of the door and felt the howling cold wind mixed with snow beads. He glanced at a few piles that looked like piles of snow.

The ordinary guard in the capital couldn't help but tighten his woolen felt cloak to protect him from the snow and cold, and pulled up the hood to cover his head. The butler Yang Zhong who came up asked his son to take care of the carriage and horses, and accompanied him.

Yang Ji entered and whispered: "Young master, someone came to see you this afternoon, saying that there was something important. I said I didn't know where you were, but he refused to leave. He is still in the concierge.

Waiting."

"Coming to see me?"

Yang Ji suddenly became suspicious. He had many friends outside, but few of them were truly good friends. Of course he liked to hear people say good things, but Zhang Yue reminded him that Wanshijie even took him for a walk quietly.

In a circle, he listened to those people who came forward to fawn over and ridiculed him behind his back for being ignorant and prodigal, so he quickly recognized the reality. Those friends who had been hanging around for a while could eat, drink and have fun from now on, and do things without having to make friends. But now forever.

With the festival gone, Zhang Yue was extremely busy. Naturally, while he was worrying about business, he also occasionally concealed his identity and acted outside, that's all.

In this case, who else would come looking for him?

With this full of doubts, he arrived at the door of the concierge. When he saw the decent-looking man sitting inside, wearing a blue cocoon coat, he was shocked and froze.

there.

"Master Yang!"

Hearing this sound, Yang Ji, who was already worried, was even more frightened. He suddenly fainted and asked stammering: "You, how did you find it here?"

"Does that need to be said? Everyone in the capital knows Mr. Yang from his hometown in Xiaoge. I naturally know where to look for him." The man in the blue coat stood up and saluted with a smile. He saw Yang Zhongzheng standing there again.

Yang Ji looked back and winked and said, "Master Yang, do you really want to leave me here to talk? There are some things that you should let others hear..."

"Stop talking!" Yang Ji immediately interrupted him, and immediately ordered Yang Zhong without looking back, "This is my guest. I will talk to him in the flower hall. Leave the door open for now. I will return it later."

Want to see off guests."

Although Yang Zhong didn't understand the origin of Yang Ji's guest, he always felt that something was wrong when he looked at this scene. Therefore, when he saw the man following Yang Ji out of the concierge and along the corridor to the flower hall, he gradually

He frowned, always having a bad premonition in his heart. When Zhang Yue told his master that the eldest young master was running a restaurant outside, the master was so angry that he almost took action against the family, but he was persuaded to stop. At least Mr. Sun was young.

It's good to study lightly. It's okay for the eldest young man to not do his job properly. At least now there are no bad friends coming to the door. But the person who came today is really a bit weird.

After thinking about it, seeing that Yang Ji and the man never came out, Yang Zhong finally had an extra thought. He quickly called his son over, gave him some careful instructions, and asked him to watch him at home, and then left.

He was ordered to prepare his horse. When he got outside the gate, he was stepping on the dismounting stone and preparing to mount his horse. He saw two riders approaching in the alley over there. After a brief glance, he felt that the person in front of him was familiar. When the person came closer, he saw clearly.

He was immediately surprised and delighted by that appearance, and hurriedly rushed to meet him.

"Master Zhang, what a coincidence, I was just going to the Yamen to look for you, and you came here!"

"Are you coming to find me?" Zhang Yue didn't wait for anyone to come forward to hold the horse and hold the stirrup. He jumped off the horse neatly and threw away the reins. When he heard these words, and then thought of what Du Wan asked Jing Guan to take him, he immediately felt something in his heart.

He guessed, "Is something wrong with Brother Yang?"

"I don't know where the person came from just now. I waited for the eldest young master in the concierge at home all afternoon, insisting that it was an urgent matter. After the eldest young master came back, he was stunned when he saw the person. He couldn't help but invite him to the flower hall to talk. The young master was really

It’s just worry…”

"In this case, you ask the family not to go out, and then take me to see it!"

After Zhang Yue and his two entourages gathered together, they did not come directly to Yang's house. Instead, they went to the Spy Department of the Ministry of War in Yangzhou Hutong to make some manpower arrangements, and then they arrived here. Now they followed Yang Zhong to the flower hall along the corridor.

When he learned that Yang Ji had also ordered everyone to move away and not disturb him, he had an idea in his mind. So, looking at the place where the lights were lit from a distance, he gestured to Yang Zhong and then walked slowly.

He stepped forward. As the house got closer, he heard a somewhat unscrupulous voice.
