Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 5351
In the capital, in a simple courtyard.

The courtyard was deep and the flowers were fragrant. In a small gazebo, a middle-aged man in a white robe had deep worries on his face.

In front of him was a piece of high-quality rice paper. His wrist was trembling slightly, and he was holding a pen in his hand, but he couldn't write the pen for a long time, and he couldn't write a single word.

"Father, the yard is heavy with dew, do you want to go back to the house first?" A young girl came from the side cobblestone path. After she came, she raised the corners of her skirt with both hands, and jumped up the pavilion lightly, and came to the middle-aged man. man's side.

"Wu'er, dad is fine, you go and see your mother, these days, your mother's health is not very good."

"What's the matter, mother?" Zhang Wu'er became nervous. She went to the south a few days ago, and she just came back.

"Suffering some wind and cold, I'm recuperating recently." The middle-aged man sighed.

"Father, you are a scholar of the imperial court cabinet. You work day and night and are busy with affairs, but you must also pay attention to your health." Zhang Wu'er persuaded.

"It's nothing to worry about. There are a lot of things in the court recently. I don't feel at ease if I don't get things done soon." Zhang Tingyu said.

"Father, then I'll go and see my mother first." Zhang Wu'er saw that she had no way to persuade her, so she knew that her father had a stubborn temper and had already made up his mind, and few people could persuade him.

"Go." Zhang Tingyu said.

Seeing his daughter stepping away from the pavilion and rushing to the place where the family members lived in the backyard, he secretly sighed again.

"Master Zhang, why are you so troubled?" Suddenly, a voice rang in his ears.

Zhang Tingyu was taken aback, this is his inner courtyard, how could outsiders break in?If it was a villain with malicious intentions, wouldn't he be attacked? All of a sudden, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he was secretly nervous.

But on the surface, he said without revealing the slightest difference: "Who is coming? Why don't you show up to meet each other?"

"Master Zhang, have you forgotten me?"

Immediately, a figure in black appeared in front of Zhang Tingyu.

"Are you Xingyun?" Zhang Tingyu sized her up and said in an uncertain tone.

The man in black wears a half-mask, so it's hard to recognize him if you're not familiar with him.

"Master Zhang has really good eyesight, he recognized me right away."

Xingyun took off the mask on his face and showed a smiling face. He didn't wear the mask on purpose to be scary, but he was worried that people would notice him on the road. He tried not to show his original face in front of unfamiliar people.

"Xingyun, is there something important for you to come here?" After confirming that it was Xingyun, Zhang Tingyu relaxed.

Since it is Xingyun, it is impossible to come here to harm him.

Those who are really capable of accurately touching his yard not only need super martial arts, but also know the layout and defense of his yard like the back of their hands. There are probably only a few such people, and they are all members of the imperial court.

"Master Zhang, I'm taking Madam Yang's order to take you to meet someone." Xingyun said straightforwardly.

"Do you want to go now?" Zhang Tingyu heard the meaning in the words, which cannot be refused.

But it is impossible for him to refuse, because he has already guessed some from the words, after all, he is a first-class smart person.

"It's not too late, we're leaving now." Xingyun said.

"Okay, let's go." Zhang Tingyu quickly made a decision.

"Master Zhang, everything has been arranged outside, but Master Zhang can't just go out like this, lest people find out." Xingyun said sincerely.

"It's okay, I can arrange to take my family to the temple to pray for my wife." Zhang Tingyu said.

"That's fine, Mr. Zhang, if you go to this place, we will send someone to pretend to be Mr. Zhang for a period of time, but not for too long." Xingyun said.

This arrangement is not a big problem. On the surface, Zhang Tingyu still took incense in the temple to pray for blessings, but the real Zhang Tingyu would secretly leave with Xingyun, and then go to see Qi Xingyun.

After the discussion, Zhang Tingyu began to arrange for his family. In just over an hour, he quickly dealt with the big and small matters, and left Zhang's mansion with his family, heading towards the temple on the outskirts of the city.

In the halfway position, there was a person who looked like Zhang Tingyu who replaced him, of course, this was a temporary replacement.

After the conversation is over, Zhang Tingyu will go back and change with that double.

"Reached?"

Zhang Tingyu's family took several carriages and came to a street corner under the protection of guards.

Zhang Tingyu got out of the car to do some errands, and when he came back, he boarded the car again blankly, but in fact, the real Zhang Tingyu had been replaced during the process.

Zhang Tingyu got into a carriage, surrounded by thick curtains, which were tightly blocked. He couldn't see the scenery outside at all. He only knew that the carriage was constantly changing directions, and where exactly would it stop? Not sure.

After about an hour, the carriage finally stopped slowly.

"Master Zhang, we're here!" Xingyun's voice came from outside.

The thick curtain in front was lifted, and Zhang Tingyu saw a ginkgo tree that couldn't be hugged by several people, and Xingyun's half masked face.

"Here is...?" Zhang Tingyu habitually reached out to touch the long beard on his chin. In the past two years, as he got older, the beard on his chin has become longer.

"Master Zhang, if you ask me this, I won't say it." Xingyun smiled.

"I made a slip of the tongue." Zhang Tingyu said frankly.

"Let's go, lead the way." Zhang Tingyu got out of the carriage, he only knew that this was a very ordinary courtyard house in the capital city, except for the ginkgo tree, there was nothing special about it.

As for ginkgo trees, there are a lot of them planted in the capital, and there are many courtyard houses, not tens of thousands, but at least a few thousand. How can we find out in a short time.

What's more, this place is obviously only a temporary contact point.

There was no one else in the yard except Xingyun. Looking up along the roof, there was a breeze in the dark sky, and swallows with scissor tails spread across the sky from time to time.

"Master Zhang, follow me." Xingyun walked ahead and led the way.

After walking for a while, a door appeared in front of him, Xingyun stopped, turned around and said, "Master Zhang, you go in by yourself, I don't have permission to go in."

Zhang Tingyu nodded in response, and the veins on the back of his hand emerged one by one. At this moment, he was also a little nervous, wondering if what he was going to face next was what he expected.

When he opened the door, he saw a man in a gray robe with his hands behind his back and his back facing him.

"Close the door." The voice sounded.

Zhang Tingyu's heart trembled, and he hurriedly turned around and closed both doors.

Afterwards, he threw off his sleeve robe, took a few steps forward, knelt down on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The old minister bows to His Majesty."
