My wife is weirder than the last

When Gongsun Yan and Cui Caiyi said that to each other, they frowned slightly and turned their heads away.

Yu Gan also frowned, his feelings for this man dropped to the lowest point in an instant.

In fact, the ancient nobles had a perverted habit of using the mouth of a young woman as a spittoon, whether it was saliva or early morning excretion, they used this mouth.

At that time, when Yu Gan saw this custom, he was almost disgusted and couldn't eat. This kind of behavior of not treating people as human beings could not be accepted by him who was educated in the new era.

If you want to say that people in the circle are playing for fun, you can understand it. This kind of kind is purely not treating people as people.

Although this man's behavior is not so exaggerated, it is even considered normal in the eyes of some powerful people. He is simply asking the maid to help with the spittoon.

But it's a bit unreasonable to do it outside.

It's quite disrespectful to have guests around.

Before, I only heard that Zhang Tingyu's descendants were arrogant and extravagant. I didn't have any concept before, but now I understand it instantly.

Really not a son of man.

Yu Gan sighed in his heart, the girls at the bottom of the feudal society really didn't have any human rights at all, they were treated like objects, it was too inhuman.

Zhang Tingyu naturally also saw this scene, his expression was just as usual, he didn't say anything, he just said to Yu Gan and the others, "This is not a place for chatting, come along with me."

The four of Yu Gan nodded and followed without even looking at the man.Especially Gongsun Yan and Cui Caiyi, whose brows have not been loosened yet, are obviously very disgusted with that wandering man.

Zhang Tingyu just walked in front and didn't speak, so Yu Gan and the others naturally wouldn't take the initiative to say anything.Along the way, I quietly passed through those increasingly extravagant pavilions.

Finally, I came to a rare, fresh and elegant house, on which there was a plaque with the words "Xiao Zhai" written in a very simple way.

It looks like it should be Zhang Tingyu's study.

Chapter 211-213 Ink Fragrance

Stepping into the room, the interior decoration is rare and simple, just a table and some chairs, and the coffee table is lit with sandalwood.There is also a main table at the back, on which a shrine is placed.

There is a bookshelf on the right side. Unlike other literati, the bookshelf is not full of books, only a few books are placed there, and the rest are empty.

Zhang Tingyu came to the coffee table and sat down, then pointed to the chair and smiled, "Sit down."

Yu Gan and Gongsun Yan bowed to each other and sat down facing each other.Lu Xing and Cui Caiyi did not take their seats, but stood quietly behind.

The window was open, and there was a cool breeze, with a few fallen leaves gently falling in.

Water was boiling on the small stove on the coffee table, Zhang Tingyu picked up some tea and threw it in.The tea leaves are rolling, and the fresh tea fragrance lingers.

Although Zhang Tingyu looks a little rich at the moment, there is a bit of Ziwen personality in him.

The slight wrinkles drawn by the warm smile on his face made him look very peaceful, giving people a feeling of intimacy.

After boiling, Zhang Tingyu scooped up two cups of clear tea, filtered out the foam and placed it in front of Yu Gan and Gongsun Yan.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Yu Gan said with a smile.

"This is Minister Gongsun. The old man recognizes it, and my friend looks familiar. Are you the first deacon at the ghost banquet to drink that jade?" Zhang Tingyu looked at Yu Gan gently.

Yu Gan was a little ashamed, his three shameless wishes at that time seemed to have left a lot of impression on these officials, Yu Gan clasped his fists and replied.

"Below Yugan, Director Huang of the Shaoqing Department of Dali Temple."

"Bai Shaoqing's Director, Director Yu is really young and promising, and his future is limitless." Zhang Tingyu smiled lightly, "But if you become an official in the court, you will have a very good heart."

"Ms. Zhang is too polite. I'm not worth mentioning in front of Mr. Zhang." Yu Gan said modestly.

It's hard to get over this, right?Isn't it just flattering in public, or something.

Zhang Tingyu poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip while it was boiling hot, stopped holding on to this point, and took the initiative to pick up the topic, "Minister Gongsun and Director Yu are here for the affairs of my family's staff. "

Gongsun Yan was by the side and kept silent, just maintaining a calm expression.

It's really like what I said just now, leave everything to Yu Gan, and she can just support the situation.

"Yes." Yu Gan could only nod his head as the main force and replied.

"Your Majesty did ask the old man after the court was over in the morning." Zhang Tingyu put down the cup in his hand, "If I say that I don't know, do you two believe me?"

"I believe it." Yu Gan replied affirmatively without hesitation, "But Zhang Xiang, although I believe it, we want to find out the truth after all.

This will not only restore his innocence, but also uncover the real enemy for His Majesty.What does Zhang Xiang think? "

Zhang Tingyu nodded and said, "It should be so."

"Then let me ask a few questions." Yu Gan bowed his hands.

"Excuse me, Director Yu." Zhang Tingyu smiled lightly.

Yu Gan asked the first question, "It is said that this Liu Zisi came to the Prime Minister's residence two years ago. His writing ability is very strong, and he is quite appreciated by Prime Minister Zhang, but this?"

"That's the case." Zhang Tingyu nodded lightly, "There are actually many reasons why Zisi failed the ranking two years ago. There are many, and I won't go into details. With Zisi's ability, not to mention the number one talent, there should be no problem with the top three. .

The old man took his fancy to Zhong Zisi's talent, so he took him into the mansion, thinking that Daqi was doing his best.Therefore, for Zisi, the old man is indeed quite fancy. "

Yu Gan nodded, and continued, "Can that Prime Minister tell me why he brought Liu Zisi to the ghost banquet?"

"Actually, Zisi took the initiative." Zhang Tingyu continued, "I also told His Majesty about this. Because I have a small number of places to carry, so when Zisi took the initiative to mention this matter to me, I didn't If you don't refuse, take him with you."

Yu Gan recorded all Zhang Tingyu's answers, and continued to ask, "So, Liu Zisi suddenly made this request.

Does he usually make some requests to Zhang Xiang?In other words, what did Zhang Xiang think of Liu Zisi's temperament?Is it a bit of a violation of normal behavior to raise this point? "

Zhang Tingyu pondered for a while, and then said, "Zisi is a stable person, usually very low-key, living in seclusion and concentrating on studying the books of sages.

The things that the old man assigned to him have been done quite well, and he hasn't asked me for anything in the two years since he entered the mansion.This ghost feast was the first time he mentioned it on his own initiative.

So the old man agreed, and asked the reason at that time, he only said that he wanted to see Daqi's demeanor.So the old man has no reason to refuse.

Now it seems that his sudden mention of this point is really abrupt.As Director Yu asked, it is indeed a little bit contrary to peace. "

Yu Gan looked at Zhang Tingyu seriously, and asked, "Ms. Zhang said that he has always kept a low profile and refrained from going out. That is to say, in the past two years, he hasn't been out of the house often?"

Zhang Tingyu said lightly, "Well, I don't go out of the house much, and I occasionally go to some poetry meetings and discuss literature with others, that's all."

"Then, does Liu Zisi have any good friends who are more fun? Who do you usually contact with?" Yu Gan asked directly, "The records of these visitors should be kept in the prime minister's mansion, right?"

Zhang Tingyu nodded slightly to the housekeeper beside him, who walked to the edge of the bookshelf, took a booklet and handed it to Yu Gan.

While Yu Gan opened the booklet to read, the housekeeper explained, "The first time Liu Zisi was arrested, the master asked me to call up these records.

According to His Majesty, the Gu poison in Liu Zisi's body was injected not long ago.So the suspected contacts were probably the people who had contact with Liu Zisi recently.

For the sake of safety, the master marked all the friends and servants Liu Zisi had contacted in the mansion in the past two months.

Available for Director Yu's research. "

"Thank you, I'm sorry." Yu Gan smiled and flipped through the booklet, but didn't look at it carefully for the time being.Instead, he asked, "Master Zhang thought it was done by someone inside the mansion, or someone outside the mansion?"

Zhang Tingyu shook his head, "This old man is not good at judging cases, I have no idea, I can only say that it is possible."

"If someone in the mansion did it, Prime Minister Zhang wouldn't be worried." Yu Gan asked.

The housekeeper took over the conversation, "Although the little old man's strength is not outstanding, he is somewhat sure of protecting the safety of the master."

Yu Gan nodded, not surprised at the butler's confidence.

Although the other party looked like an old man and didn't seem to have any strong points, it was just because he was not strong enough now and couldn't see it.

Thinking about it, how could the prime minister not be protected by top experts.

It was because I thought too much, if Zhang Tingyu was innocent, those people hiding in the dark really couldn't easily hurt him.

"Zhang Xiang, I have to see Liu Zisi's residence first before I talk about other questions. I wonder if Zhang Xiang can let me go there to find out?" Yu Gan asked.

"Yeah." Zhang Tingyu nodded, "Lao Deng will take you there. I'm old and my legs and feet are inconvenient. I'll just wait for Director Yu to come back here."

Lao Deng is the housekeeper. Zhang Tingyu called him that. It seems that this housekeeper has a special status in the prime minister's mansion. It is estimated that it is not only the housekeeper.

"Thank you Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang is here waiting for you, I will come as soon as I go." Yu Gan stood up and bowed with a smile.

"Director Yu, Minister Gongsun, come with the little old man." Steward Deng said proactively.

"I'm sorry." Yu Gan smiled and followed the other party out.

Zhang Tingyu was just sitting in the room, beating his thigh lightly with his left hand, sipping a teacup with his right hand, occasionally looking up at the window, looking like a leisurely old man.

Walking out of the study, Steward Deng walked towards Dongyuan, saying, "Liu Zisi is an aide in the mansion, and the aides in the prime minister's mansion should have lived in Xiyuan together.

But Liu Zisi likes to be quiet, so the master specially allocated a yard for him in Dongyuan.

This Liu Zisi has been staying in Dongyuan all the time, and has little contact with other staff in the mansion. Others have the impression of him as cold and cold, and rarely interact with him.

Usually, if the master has something to order, I will give it to Liu Zisi, so the little old man probably goes to Liu Zisi's yard the most times. "

While the Butler Deng was talking about these one-sided things, he soon arrived at his destination.

A very quiet small courtyard, with bamboo forest growing outside the courtyard, the small courtyard is hidden in the bamboo forest, it is not big, it looks like once you enter.

The courtyard door was locked tightly, and there was only this courtyard around.It's really secluded.

Butler Deng stepped forward to unlock it, saying, "The moment Liu Zisi's accident happened, the master ordered me to lock the gate of the courtyard. He also sent his confidant guards to prevent anyone from entering or leaving.

Just wait for someone from Dali Temple to come to check. "

"Zhang Xiang has a heart." Yu Qian gently praised.

From the current point of view, this Ting Yu is indeed very comfortable in handling affairs, and there is nothing wrong with the follow-up work, if he is not lying.

After the courtyard door opened, Butler Deng stood sideways outside and said, "Director Yu, Minister Gongsun please."

Yu Gan was not polite, and walked into the yard by himself.

The first time I glanced inside, the three rooms were tightly closed, and the yard was very simple, except for a small gazebo, there was nothing else conspicuous.

Glancing at the stone table under the gazebo, Yu Gan turned his head to look at Lu Xing, and gave him a slight nod.

The latter understood, carried the wooden box, and began to investigate around the yard.

Taking advantage of Lu Xing's inspection, Yu Gan casually chatted with Butler Deng, "It seems that Liu Zisi doesn't pay much attention to the quality of life."

"That's right." Steward Deng replied, "He is usually obsessed with the books of sages, and doesn't pay much attention to things outside of him. The robes he often wears were brought by himself when he entered the mansion two years ago.

The master had rewarded him with many things, but they were all declined.

Afterwards, nothing happened, so the courtyard looked a little more simple. "

"It's a pity that Liu Zisi is a diligent scholar. Otherwise, if he becomes an official, it will be a blessing for the common people," Yu Gan sighed casually.

Steward Deng nodded slightly, but did not agree.

Soon, Lu Xing came back, looked at Yu Gan and shook his head.There is nothing out of the ordinary in this yard.

Seeing this, Yu Gan asked Butler Deng, pointing to the first room on the right, "This room is..."

"This is the study room, where Liu Zisi spends most of his time. He usually reads and writes in it." Butler Deng replied.

Yu Gan nodded, walked over, and gently opened the door.

All of a sudden, the scent of ink filled his face.

This is the unique taste of books.

Except for a desk, the room is full of bookshelves, and there are many books densely packed on it. Every book looks like it has been read frequently, without any dust.

The window lattice at the back gently let in the breeze, rustling the books on the bookshelf.

This tangy ink fragrance was also brought to him by Qingfeng.

"This Liu Zisi looks extremely hardworking." Cui Caiyi on the side could not help but sigh with emotion as he smelled the smell of books all over the room.

She comes from a famous family and has the greatest respect for scholars.Although there are monks in this world, people still respect scholars very much.Especially those who are well-educated.

Everything is inferior, but reading is high, this sentence still applies here.

Children from aristocratic families like Cui Caiyi value scholars because they grew up with this awareness since childhood.

Yu Gan inspected the surrounding area, and finally landed on the dry inkstone on the desk.A piece of white paper was pressed under a ruler, and there seemed to be unfinished articles on it.

Yu Gan walked over, picked up the article and looked at it, and the four prominent words fell on the first part: Ten Policies of Jingguo.

Looking down, it is full of literary and ancient prose, which generally talks about the policy of governing the country. What is recorded on this page is all explained from the perspective of people's livelihood.

One of the points directly confused Yu Gan, and translated it into the vernacular, that is, the government compulsorily allocates part of the land, and the tenants can own their own land for farming, and this part of the land cannot be merged.

You must know that in ancient times, land annexation was inevitable.

Especially a mature feudal dynasty, with the passage of time, this phenomenon is bound to happen.
