In the evening, Ma Yue walked through Ma Zhuque Street and looked at Marquis Zhang's mansion from a distance, looking at the three-story pavilion and the tall platform, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. The buildings on Zhang Rang's mansion are obviously encroached, how can a liege build the mansion like a palace?

In the distance, someone in front of the mansion saw Ma Yue walking his horse, trotted all the way over and said: "It's going to be a master, my father has been waiting for you for a long time, oh, under the imperial doctor's order Zhang Feng, I have seen a master craftsman." ”

Ma Yue hurriedly dismounted and helped Zhang Feng up, and said with a smile: "The imperial doctor doesn't have to be like this, give you a prayer." ”

Zhang Feng took it with a smile, glanced at Ma Yue and said, "Jun Hao, it is really good to be a master, please." ”

Zhang Feng led the horse and led Ma Yue into Zhang's mansion, and the young man in front of him, who was about twenty-five years old, was Zhang Rang's adopted son.

Bypassing the palatial pavilions and water pavilions, Ma Yue met Zhang Rang in the middle hall of the house.

Not only Zhang Rang, but also Zhao Zhong's younger brother Zhao Yan, and then, Ma Yue saw a person he couldn't imagine - the general, He Jin.

"Ma Yue met the general, met Marquis Zhang, Marquis Zhao."

Ma Yue bowed down, but he still couldn't figure it out in his mind, He Jin was full of party members, but how could he sit in Zhang Rang's mansion and see that he was still preparing to attend the dinner.

He Jin was talking to Zhang Rang, and seeing that Ma Yue didn't give him a good face, he just waved his hand. Zhang Rang smiled, raised his hand and sleeves and smiled: "San Lang has words, not bad." Come on, come on, don't have to be so outside, sit. ”

Ma Yue sat down, and then heard Zhang Rang say with a smile: "Since San Lang is also here, then you can start." Zhang Rang clapped his hands as he spoke.

Ma Yue's worship post Zhang Rang has seen it, and he knows that his character is Jun Hao, but Zhang Rang is still called Ma Yue Saburo, which is very cordial.

Out of the side room, more than a dozen dancers dressed only in tulle entered the court, seven musicians sat cross-legged in the corner of the room, playing the gonghou, and even several musicians played the sheng.

Accompanied by singing and dancing, the maids carried portions of food and food in a row and visited several tables in front of each of them.

Ma Yue took a cursory glance and saw that the shrimp surimi, fish carp, crab meat, fish maw, and shellfish were all seafood...... This is Luoyang, the nearest sea is fifteen hundred miles away, Ma Yue looked at Zhang Rang with wide eyes, and he saw the light smile on Zhang Houye's face.

"San Lang, let's try it, the king of the East China Sea sent two slaves to cook some time ago, and the craftsmanship is not bad." Glancing at Ma Yue, Zhang Rang said with a friendly smile on his beardless white face: "Don't worry, these fish were specially asked to go to the East China Sea last night to catch them, they are very fresh, San Lang taste them." ”

Ma Yue tasted it and nodded, he stabbed Zhang Rang from behind, Zhang Rang instead let his subordinates run three thousand miles overnight just to invite himself to a meal, he arched his hand to Zhang Rang and said: "Thank you Hou Ye Qingyan for setting up a banquet and staying lenient, Hou Ye, your magnanimity Ma Yue remembers the five." ”

He said this sincerely, and he even felt that he had really done something wrong now. Maybe he should indeed be like Zhao Yan said, if there is something to discuss with Zhang Rang before making a decision.

Zhao Zhong sat on the side of a few cases, picked up a piece of crab meat and chewed it twice in his mouth, swallowed it and wiped the corners of his mouth with Bai Juan, and then smiled at Ma Yue: "Jun Hao doesn't know, Zhang Changshou has paid a lot of money for this meal, and he broke the legs of three good horses last night." Zhao Zhong stretched out his two fingers and pointed to a few cases and said: "Tsk, the delicacies on this plate are all the friendship of the slaves to Jun Hao." ”

"I understand below." Ma Yue nodded, arched his hand and said, "The attendants are so polite, Ma Yue is ashamed in his heart. The previous practice was tossing and turning left and right, but I really didn't want to go, alas, ......"

"Alright, my family, don't say those words again." Zhang Rang waved his hand and smiled: "San Lang, no, San Lang has grown up, I still remember when I was in the court prison a few years ago when I gave you books, you didn't have a beard at that time, haha." Zhang Rang smiled very cordially and said: "Jun Hao, the ins and outs of that matter, the slave is clear, Zhao Changshou also told the slave, this matter is indeed the fault of the slave, it is not well considered, let San Lang impeach him in the court, don't blame you." ”

"Slave tell you the truth, at that time, it was also His Majesty who asked the slave to add some trouble to those county generals, so as to build His Majesty's old mansion in the river. You should also know that some time ago, didn't Tingwei Cui Lie listen to the persuasion of His Majesty's Mother Fu Cheng and buy a Situ, alas. Zhang Rang sighed: "Mrs. Cheng has served His Majesty for thirty years, but now she has been scolded by those Confucian scholars who sold her reputation for selling her official position, and she ran back to the river in anger." Now that the Hejian Kingdom has been incorporated into the state and county, and the Hejian Mansion is gone, His Majesty always wants to give Mrs. Cheng a home to enjoy her old age, so she will build a mansion and consume some wood and stone. I don't want to be played by Jun Hao like this, but our own family almost made a fuss in the court, and let those sour people see jokes in vain. ”

The more Zhang Rang said this, the more Ma felt that he couldn't go away, remembering that Zhao Zhong said that Zhang Rang's servants in the mansion had broken the Liangzhou horse, so he excused himself to get up and go to the toilet, went outside to find Peng Shi, and asked him to go home and bring five of the best Xianbei horses over.

Then he went back to the court and sat down, chatted about some ordinary things, toasted a few people and a few glasses of wine, and saw that it was dark, Ma Yue got up and said goodbye.

Although He Jin didn't give himself a good face that night, he felt satisfied. There are not many people in this court who can afford themselves, and it is rare for Zhao Zhong to look up to them, and he made up his mind that he will still adhere to his principles in the future and cannot change. But if it was related to these regular servants and Jian Shuo, he should discuss it with them first.

……

Ma Yue left, Zhang asked Zhao Zhong and He Jin to continue to push the cup and change the lamp, not long after, He Jin was about to get up and say goodbye, before leaving, He Jin frowned unhappily and said: "Brother Zhang, Brother Zhao, this Ma Yue impeached you in the court, he has not been in the palace to visit us for three years in Luoyang, why do you want to give him a good face today, look at his appearance, I really don't know what his surname is!" ”

"The general is angry, the general is angry." Zhang Rang smiled nonchalantly and said, "Isn't it good to be like Ma Sanlang, since you can give him a good face, why do you have to stink him?" ”

"I just can't get used to his appearance, why doesn't he fly? Phew, something! He Jin has taken his leave! He Jin staggered two steps, took a step forward in the chariot, turned his head and said to Zhang Rang: "Thank you Brother Zhang for your leniency, Brother Zhang came to the house to drink tea, there is some new tea this year." ”

"Don't worry, the general, the slave will definitely go." Zhang Rang squinted his eyes and smiled, patted Zhang Feng's back and smiled at He Jin: "I also took Feng'er, now Feng'er has become the general's brother-in-law, in the future, we will be a family, and please ask the general to carry me more." ”

"Haha!" He Jin likes Zhang Rang's flattery too much, the old man's kind face, even if he knows that what he said is just obedient, he doesn't feel that it is true, He Jin got into the carriage, waved his hand and smiled at Zhang Rang and said: "Then He Jin will wait for Brother Zhang to come in the house!" ”
