Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 267 Good Brother, Thank You

After receiving Liu Hong's letter, Tang Yin finally chose to return to Beiping and did not stay in Suzhou Prefecture.

He also listened to Chen Ce's words and promised to send part of his salary to his wife at home to support their lives.

Chen Ce wrote another letter to Tang Yin these days, asking Tang Yin to make an appointment with Wen Zhengming and others to come to Beiping.

Early this morning, Chen Ce and Mrs. Wu went to the morning market to buy vegetables together.

The two walked side by side on the Tongji Canal embankment, like an ordinary couple visiting the morning market.

On the embankment road ahead.

When Lun Wenxu and Ning Cheng heard that the other party was Zhang's uncle, they immediately wilted.

Ning Zhijun, Su Hanmei and the group of Confucian scholars had all heard of the Zhang brothers.

These two uncles-in-law are now the most powerful in the capital and are quite favored by the emperor. Not to mention a mere editor of the Hanlin Academy, they even dare to attack the governor of Shuntian Prefecture!

Now all officials in the capital city tacitly agree to avoid these two guys, and no one dares to provoke them.

Kelun Wenxu was slapped in the face, which was a fatal humiliation for a scholar, especially since there were people watching nearby, making it difficult for him to save face.

Lun Wenxu covered his face and snorted, saying, "You two uncles are too arrogant! Aren't you afraid that the Censorate will impeach you?"

Zhang Heling smiled and said, "Don't be afraid."

"Besides, it's you who are wrong. Who made you block the way?"

"Why don't you get out of here right now?"

It's like a scholar meeting a soldier, it's unreasonable!
Lun Wenxu was filled with rage, and Ning Cheng didn't dare to say anything at this time. These two guys were already arrogant and domineering before they won the battle, and now they have made great military achievements for the Ming Dynasty, they are almost becoming too arrogant!

No one can deal with them. You can only consider yourself unlucky for meeting them today.

"Excuse me, could you please make way?"

Chen Ce was blocked by the servants of the Zhang brothers and started to ask.

The atmosphere was somewhat solidified.

The Zhang brothers' expressions changed slightly. In this day and age, is there anyone who dares to speak to our two generals like this?

The Zhang brothers turned around with unfriendly expressions and saw Chen Ce's calm face and Madam Wu who was beside him ready to attack at any time.

Su Hanmei, Ning Zhijun and others also turned their eyes to Chen Ce.

The group of Confucian scholars had even seen the consequences. Didn't this guy understand the situation? Did he come here to get killed?
Even the top scholar has been beaten like a pig, and you still dare to ask them to give way?

Don’t you know how arrogant and domineering these two guys are now?

Lun Wenxu remained silent. Ning Cheng wanted to remind him, but it was too late now.

"Oh, make way and let them pass first."

The Zhang brothers spoke very politely, which was completely different from their previous arrogant attitude.

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded, and for a moment they couldn't believe their ears.

These two brothers looked like thugs and bullies just now, why did their attitude change so drastically now?

The attitude of being assertive at first and then being respectful is really disgusting!

Where is the arrogance you showed when you beat Lun Zhuangyuan?

Chen Ce nodded, carrying the vegetable basket and walking forward with Madam Wu. He did not forget to nod to Ning Cheng and Lun Wenxu as a greeting.

Chen Ce walked away a little while everyone was stunned.

At this time, the Zhang brothers had no time to argue with this group of people. They quickly caught up with Chen Ce with a smile and said flatteringly: "Brother Chen! Good brother, wait for us!"

The two brothers rushed over to catch up with Chen Ce.

For a moment, everyone couldn't believe their eyes. These... these two uncles-in-law who were lawless, arrogant, and dared to bully all the officials in the capital, big and small, and now... what was going on?
How do you become friends with him?
A group of Confucian scholars shook their heads vigorously, as if they thought they were hallucinating.

Su Hanmei opened her mouth slightly in astonishment and asked Ning Zhijun, "Is he really a businessman?"

Ning Cheng was also stunned. He knew that Chen Ce was a very capable person, but he did not expect that Zhang's uncle would give him such a big face. This guy... Ning Cheng was not good at commenting, but his complicated expression showed that he was extremely shocked at the moment.

Lun Wenxu looked at Chen Ce in a daze. When they went on an outing a few days ago, he thought Chen Ce was just a businessman. He was the top scholar and a Hanlin scholar, and he had a natural sense of superiority.

Even when meeting this group of Confucian scholars today, he still felt superior. It was not until he was awakened by a slap from the Zhang brothers that he realized that his sense of superiority could only work on a certain group of people.

To a top dignitary like Zhang's uncle, his sense of superiority is not worth mentioning.

But when he saw such a top-level powerful person treating Chen Ce like a brother, his sense of superiority was completely crushed and shattered.

At this time, the Zhang brothers jogged to catch up with Chen Ce.

Chen Ce glanced at the two brothers and said, "What's wrong? Before you left, you said you would beat me to death when you came back. Are you planning to do it now?"

The Zhang brothers laughed loudly, patted Chen Ce on the shoulder and said, "What are you talking about, Brother Chen!"

"Who said anything like that? You must have heard it wrong."

Chen Ce seemed to have gotten used to the shameless behavior of the two brothers and didn't mind.

The two brothers were extremely reluctant to go to the southwest in the first place. When they heard that Wang Shouren was recommended by Chen Ce, they wished they could rein in their horses and beat Chen Ce to death.

But during the Southwest War, they discovered that Wang Shouren was an extremely brave man who actually led them to victory. Naturally, they had to thank Chen Ce for returning triumphantly this time.

However, the two guys were just talking, and it would be unlikely for them to actually thank Chen Ce.

Chen Ce smiled, said "oh" and said, "Anything else?"

Zhang Heling said, "We have invited a few officials to have a drink at Cuiwei Tower by the lake. Do you want to go? They are treating us."

Chen Ce shook his head: "No."

Zhang Yanling said: "We will introduce you to some connections."

Chen Ce still shook his head: "No need."

Well, forget it, the Zhang brothers looked regretful.

"What do you two uncles think of the southwest?" Chen Ce asked.

The Zhang brothers were all smiles, "Southwest, not bad, but it's not bad. We'll go there again next time we have a chance."

"it is good."

Chen Ce nodded, then cupped his hands and said, "I won't bother you anymore. I'll go back to cook."

"Oh."

The Zhang brothers left, and Chen Ce and Madam Wu also left side by side.

Looking at the backs of Chen Ce and Madam Wu, Ning Zhijun felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

Madam Wu glanced at Chen Ce and asked, "That girl in the crowd just now... the pretty one... forget it."

Chen Ce did not hide it and said to Madam Wu: "Remember I said two years ago that I had a marriage in Peking."

"is her?"

Chen Ce nodded: "Yes, it's her."

"Her father rejected you?"

Chen Ce said: "I guess so. After all, my body...I didn't think it through properly at the time."

Madam Wu fell silent, then asked, "So you don't want to delay any girls? Because of your illness?"

Chen Ce asked Madam Wu, "Knowing that the other person only has a few years to live, are you willing to give up your entire life for these few years?"

"Who would be so stupid?"

Madam Wu said, "I can."
