Legacy of the old dynasty

Chapter 9

In the 11th year of Wanli, Yang Sizhi, the censor of Shaanxi Province, wrote a letter to impeach Zhang Juzheng.Fourteen crimes were listed eloquently.All of a sudden, the wall collapsed and everyone pushed, the court was flying like dogs and dogs, and everyone was in danger.Poor former chief minister of the cabinet, a first-rank grand master, couldn't even keep his posthumous title.The family property is gone, and the descendants die and disperse.

However, none of these storms could reach the south of the Yangtze River.It is the early spring of another year, and Jiangnan, where flowers are blooming, is full of wealth and beautiful scenery, and many new gardens have been added, making it even more lively like a fire cooking oil.The streets and alleys are all like new vegetation, with branches and leaves scattered.What is built brick by brick is the real world.

Zhang Qiling found an abandoned garden, and after rebuilding it, he moved out of Zhang's old house.The new house used to be the bleakest place in the city, but now it is a bustling market, as soon as you come out from the side door of the garden, you can see the bustling market, he doesn't mind being noisy now.

Wu Xie laughed at him and hid himself in the city, but he didn't speak a word.Just like he loved quietness in the early years, he is willing to live a more lively life now, and his former home, if it can be called "home", is too lively.

"You're really willing," Wu Xie raised an eyebrow at him, "It's not like you divide the family, it's just..."

He let out a "hum" from his throat, and asked him a little funny: "What is it?"

Wu Xie said quickly: "It's like being kicked out!"

He really wanted to laugh.

"Anyway," he said after a while, "I'm still the head of the Zhang family."

Wu Xie rolled his eyes at him, and that expression clearly said "who cares".

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that a big tree attracts the wind, so he should have thought of a way out earlier.

The new house has a northern style, with a spacious courtyard and wide mansions with porch windows.Facing the gate is the shadow wall, and going around it is a courtyard in all directions, and houses are on three sides.There is a hanging flower door on the side, and after entering, it enters the yard again.Going further back, one in and one in, the small buildings behind are all two-story, connected by long corridors in the air.Although it occupies a large area, it does not pursue waste in terms of labor, and even though it is magnificent, it is not in the eyes of some people.Ever since the new house was completed and guests were entertained, there have been rumors that the Zhang family has also fallen in the end.

Some words also reached Wu Xie's ears.Now that he is weaker and more stable, someone even asked him about the Zhang family in person, and he didn't comment when he heard it.Wang Gongzi said that he was "getting more and more bored, and he didn't know who he looked like".He knew it was a joke, and he didn't know whether the prince had intentions or not.Sometimes he is afraid of these jokes, and sometimes he likes to listen to them, so he thinks very much after not seeing the prince for a few days.

Zhang Qiling only brought a few old servants to move here.The yard is big and there are few people, so you can't even see the servants all day long.Only at dawn in the morning, when he heard the sound of sweeping the yard outside the window, scratching across the stone slabs, this sound made him breathe a sigh of relief.He sometimes wakes up at night and can't fall asleep again, and now the voice reminds him that it will be dawn when he opens his eyes.

He sometimes thinks that the most important things in his life have nothing to do with him.What maintains the relationship between him and the Zhang family is no longer the indifferent blood relationship, but a promise.There are many people in the Zhang family's old house coveting his seat, and there will always be troubles, but they dare not oppose him openly.Now, he simply stayed away completely.Fortunately, there is still someone in his heart, which cannot be hidden or erased, which makes him feel a little painful, but happy.

"Let's take the moonlight in Dongting on credit, and buy the boat wine by the white clouds." He remembered that Wu Xie had read these two lines of poems to him. The wind that continues to this day.

Now that I think about it, that scene is like a dream again.On the [-]th day, he came out of Zhang's house in anger, leaving everyone in the house without a single follower.Red lanterns are lit at the door of every house on the street, and red pairs are pasted, reflecting the white snow all over the ground.He originally wanted to relax, but somehow he got to the door of Wu's house.

Standing in the shadow under the wall, he watched from afar as Wu Xie set off a firecracker like Wu Sanxing, but almost exploded his hand.I was a little angry for some reason at the time, but I walked home slowly alone, and I thought it was funny again.

I really laughed behind closed doors.
