Uncle from a poor family

Chapter 561 Whose is it? (asking for monthly votes)
After having a good meal and a few drinks that night, Zhang Luan did not stay in Lizisheng for too long.

Instead, he said goodbye early, took a carriage back to his own villa, and slept alone.

It was also a preparation to leave the city to find his son early the next morning.

The next day, Zhang Luan still did not go to court, but went directly to the workshop outside the city to see his son. When he arrived, he found out that Zhang Yanling was still sleeping soundly.

"Everyone thought this kid was a hardworking and good kid, but I didn't expect that he actually likes to sleep in..."

Zhang Luan muttered quietly, "He wasn't like this before."

Chai Meng, who was packing things in the yard, smiled and said, "Minister Zhang, you may not know that the second young master didn't go to bed until dawn. He was busy all night last night, how could he not be sleepy? I think he is sleeping soundly now... But you can't delay your work, otherwise... let someone wake him up?"

Zhang Luan frowned and asked, "Why is he so busy? Why doesn't he do it during the day, but has to do it at night? He asked for it..."

Chai Meng sighed, "The Second Young Master is always working day and night like this. He won't listen to anyone's advice. He always says that time waits for no one. He is really hardworking at such a young age."

Zhang Luan frowned and asked, "Who is the teacher to whom? As a teacher, don't you discipline him?"

"I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it."

Chai Meng suddenly felt ashamed and picked up his things and went to the backyard.

"Huh? Why are you leaving? I wanted to ask you about the loom."

Zhang Luan was very depressed.

I was too embarrassed to go in and wake my son up, so I could only find a place to sit in the yard. I wanted to reflect on my past, but I fell asleep after a while.

……

……

It was almost noon when Zhang Yanling met Zhang Luan.

"Dad, why haven't you reported to the government office again? Why are you here so early? Normally, I want to see you when the sun is setting..." Zhang Yanling teased.

Zhang Luan wiped his face, trying to make himself look more energetic, and then he started the topic: "There is something that I really can't figure out. Li Zisheng analyzed it carefully yesterday, and I still feel uneasy... I think it's better to ask your opinion in advance."

"what's up?"

Zhang Yanling asked casually.

Anyway, this is not the first or second time that his old father has asked him to do something for him.

Used to it.

On the contrary, if his old father didn't tell him anything and made decisions on his own, he would be very nervous.

Zhang Luan then handed Qin Chang's letter to Zhang Yanling for review.

Zhang Yanling took a quick look and asked curiously, "Who is so sick that the factory manager Qin Chang has to come to ask for help? This official must be at least higher than Qin Chang, right?"

Zhang Luan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Damn, so this is why Li Zisheng analyzed that Huai En wanted to see me for treatment? If you don't know, you would really think he has great magical powers."

"Is this what you're worried about?" Zhang Yanling was a little surprised. "Does it matter who it is? He's an important person after all, so it doesn't matter who you treat."

"Of course there is a difference. Can other people compare with Huai En? Whenever I think about seeing Huai En for medical treatment, my heart is in my throat!" Zhang Luan said worriedly.

Zhang Yanling frowned and asked, "It's not even the appointed time yet, and you haven't even seen Huai En yet, and you're already tangled up?"

"Yeah, I can't help but feel entangled."

Zhang Luan looked like a punched bag, and said with a bitter face, "Speaking of which, since I treated the late emperor, no one has asked me for help with my medical skills for a long time. Now Qin Chang suddenly did this, and I was a little overwhelmed for a while. You also know what my level is. There are many experts in medical skills in this palace. Do you think it is not easy to show my timidity when I treat a patient like Huai En in front of others?"

Zhang Yanling laughed and said, "What are you worried about? You can easily fool even the great doctor of the Imperial Hospital, and now you are worried about Huai En?"

"That's different."

Zhang Luan explained seriously, "Huai En is a cunning guy... If he thinks that I can't cure diseases at all, he might even test me secretly. If I don't react in time, he might even lead me into a ditch. What if he comes back to bite me and accuse me of killing the late emperor? Therefore, no matter how careful I am, it's not wrong."

"Haha, so Dad, you're not going to go?"

Zhang Yanling asked with a smile.

"Aren't I here to listen to your opinion?" Zhang Luan said solemnly, "If you say go, I will go. If you say don't go, I won't go. There must be a strategy to deal with it."

Zhang Yanling said, "Dad, if Huai En was really ill, why didn't he come himself? Instead, he asked Qin Changju to ask for help?"

"This one……"

Zhang Luan thought for a long time but couldn't give a reason.

"That means Huai En doesn't want people to know that he is sick... Then how did Qin Chang know about it? Since Qin Chang knows about it, does Your Majesty know about Huai En's condition?"

Zhang Yanling raised questions one after another.

Zhang Luan became more and more confused as he listened, and finally said impatiently: "Hey, why are you talking so much? How can I know these situations?" Zhang Yanling explained: "Dad, you have to understand one thing, you can't treat Huai En secretly, you have to do it openly. Those who know you are treating people, and those who don't know will think you are conspiring with Huai En.

"You are a civil official, or a relative of the emperor. Your contacts with the inner officials must be open and transparent! Also, if the disease cannot be cured, and Huai En dies of the disease, whose responsibility will it be? These must be considered clearly!"

Zhang Luan was stunned. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Son, isn't it okay for me to listen to you? Just tell me what to do..."

……

……

In a restaurant outside Donghuamen in Beijing.

Qin Chang booked the entire place early in the morning. This was a shop opened by the family of one of his godson. When they learned that he was coming, his godson even mobilized the whole family to warmly welcome him.

But Qin Chang didn't care about this so-called "father-son affection".

In the palace, it was rare for a senior eunuch to adopt a godson. Qin Chang himself knew that as the chief scribe of the Imperial Household Department and the eunuch in charge of the Eastern Depot, he had a lot of say in the palace, which was why he was treated with such respect. Once he lost his power, he was afraid that these godsons would not like him at all.

Just like the last time he lost power, no one was interested in visiting his mansion.

"How is it? Is Zhang Guozhang here?"

The agreed time was approaching quickly, and just when Qin Chang was feeling bored, Qin Ji arrived in a carriage.

Seeing the dusty Qin Ji, Qin Chang was surprised and frowned, asking, "Didn't I tell you to stay in the palace? What are you doing here?"

Qin Ji explained, "I'm here to inform you that Eunuch Huai can't come for the time being. There's nothing important going on in the palace today. Your Majesty went to inspect the completion of the new workshop. It is said that the first batch of materials has arrived. Eunuch Huai went with Your Majesty. I don't know when he will be free to leave the palace."

"It's broken, it's broken."

Qin Changmeng slapped his forehead and shook his head, "I forgot that Eunuch Huai could be assigned an errand by His Majesty at any time, and might not come on time. Just agreeing on the time and place, but the variables caused by Eunuch Huai serving His Majesty during the period may very likely lead to failure in the end."

Tan Ji asked, "You mean to say that Zhang Guozhang has a lot of free time and can come anytime, so the problem is unlikely to be with him?"

"Humph!"

Qin Chang rolled his eyes at Qin Ji and said unhappily, "I don't know whether Zhang Guozhang is busy or not. After all, I personally invited him this time, so I don't think he would ignore our family. Alas, I am really worried about the country of Ming Dynasty. However, it's almost time, why hasn't Zhang Guozhang shown up yet?"

As he spoke, Qin Chang looked out the window again.

At this time, his godson appeared at the staircase, poked his head out and asked, "Godfather, is this your friend? Do you want to prepare some more wine and food?"

"No need, everyone isn't here yet!"

After Tan Chang answered, he immediately introduced, "This is the eunuch Tan Ji Tan, the eunuch of the Imperial Household Department. He is an old official of the Eastern Palace and has a very close relationship with Your Majesty."

"Ok?"

Tan Ji was bewildered.

My leaving the palace is absolutely a secret among secrets. How come you are introducing it to me?

If people knew that the three giants of our Silijian might gather in this tiny place later, plus the powerful Zhang Guozhang, would they be wiped out by the bad guys?

"Dengdengdeng..."

Tan Chang's godson came forward quickly, knelt down and kowtowed to Tan Ji: "I am Ping Bao, and I am honored to meet you, Eunuch Tan."

Although Qin Ji felt a little uncomfortable, he still smiled and said, "A good father will have a good son. He is indeed a handsome man."

"Hey, you better speak seriously. This guy is not my biological son."

Qin Chang frowned and scolded.

"Yes, but if I could really be influenced by you and learn even half of your skills, I would definitely be able to achieve great things in the future."

Qin Ji continued to procrastinate there.

"I will keep your words in mind, sir. I will live up to your expectations and work hard for the court." Ping Bao continued to kowtow.

Qin Chang waved his hand and said, "Okay, now that we've met, there are two important guests who haven't arrived yet. You go down and wait first. Don't show up again without instructions."

"Yes, I will go down to greet you right away. Also... my wife wants to come up and offer you tea, please..."

Qin Chang frowned and refused, "We appreciate our daughter-in-law's kindness. Let her behave like a good wife and stop wanting to show up in public."

"Yes Yes."

Ping Bao thought, did I say something wrong? Why is my godfather suddenly unhappy? It seems that I have to be careful to serve him and not make these important people unhappy.

Then he retreated respectfully.
