Gong Chengyan said with a smile: "Look at these words, I was moved when I heard it, not to mention that the emperor listened to it, but I don't know what kind of worries and difficulties Lord Zhang is arranging for the emperor."

I heard that your land in Mingshan has a good yield this year, 3,000 acres of land, it is almost 10,000 acres, and there is a lot of imperial grain handed in, and the emperor has been happy for several days because of this. ”

Zhang Tianhao's face turned pale suddenly, his hands clenched unconsciously, and he smiled reluctantly: "Hehe-it's luck, I don't know what's going on, but it's a good thing, and it's a good thing that the emperor can be happy." ”

Gong Chengyan nodded and agreed: "It's indeed a good thing, as a courtier, everything is given by the emperor, the emperor rewarded you with 3,000 acres of land, although the land is yours now, but you can't forget that it is also the emperor." ”

The reluctant smile on Zhang Tianhao's face could no longer be pretended, he clenched his fists tightly for a long time before he asked in a low voice, "What do you want?" ”

Gong Chengyan looked at him with a bright smile and shrugged his shoulders innocently, "Why is Lord Zhang scared like this, I just passed by and came into the mansion to sit, with your friendship with me, I just have something, you can't guess it?" ”

Zhang Tianhao gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but he could only say softly on his face: "The lower official is stupid, he can't guess the adult's mind, and he has disappointed the adult, please make it clear." ”

Gong Chengyan sighed and said with some regret: "I thought we could know each other's thoughts without having to say it explicitly, but Master Zhang doesn't know anything like this, but it really makes me feel sad." ”

Zhang Tianhao laughed.

"Actually. It's not too important, since the emperor trusts you so much, what you say. The emperor will definitely not doubt it, I just want you to say the right thing at the right time. ”

After hearing his words, Zhang Tianhao was shocked and said, "This is—"

"What, Lord Zhang has doubts?"

Zhang Tianhao paused, shook his head and said, "No, the lower officials understand." Rest assured, the lower officials will never live up to the trust of adults. ”

"Isn't that right?" Gong Chengyan stood up, patted Zhang Tianhao's shoulder and smiled, "Then I'll go back first." You wait for my news, but don't let me down. ”

"No—don't worry, sir." Zhang Tianhao bent down and saluted.

After Gong Chengyan left, he sat down with a dull gaze, staring somewhere and didn't know what he was thinking. It's just that the fear in his eyes is unobstructed.

Zhang Zuolun passed by the study. Seeing the person who was walking out, he grabbed a subordinate who had just come out of the study and asked, "Who is the person who entered my father's study just now?" ”

"If you go back to the young master, it's Lord Siyi Pavilion."

"The palace family?" Zhang Zuolun was curious: "What is he here to do?" Hasn't my father been in contact with the Gong family for a long time, what is Gong Chengyan doing? ”

The little guy shook his head: "I don't know about this little one, if the young master is curious, it is better to ask the master." ”

Zhang Zuolun cut off, turned around and went back to his yard: "I don't have anything to say to him, I'm back in the house." Dinner is still sent to the hospital. ”

The attendant who was waiting with him persuaded: "Young master, you can't be angry with the master now. It's been a long time since you've sat down to eat with your master, and it's a big misunderstanding between father and son, and it's time to clear it up the next day, and you've been here for a few months. ”

Zhang Zuolun gave him a shudder angrily, "What do you know, my father is stubborn, if he doesn't agree to my request, I don't plan to open him again in my life." ”

The entourage was so frightened that he hurriedly looked around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Young master, it's not a small mouth, don't say this kind of thing, the master just locked you up for a month, do you want to be locked up for another month?" ”

Thinking of confinement, Zhang Zuolun immediately hurriedly reversed direction.

The entourage hurriedly said, "Young Master, where are you going?" ”

Zhang Zuolun should not, but hurried out of the house.

The entourage had no choice, so he shouted and quickly caught up, but the direction after leaving the house made him understand in an instant, and said helplessly: "Young master, do you still want to go to Lang Tingxuan?" You've been here for days, staying from morning to night every day, and the little one knows that you're not going to eat, you're waiting for someone, right? ”

Zhang Zuolun's hurried pace slowly slowed down, and finally he simply stopped, and asked his entourage: "How many days did you say I stayed in Lang Tingxuan?" ”

The entourage thought for a while, and counted with his fingers: "It has been ten days since you came out of confinement, young master.

Young master, now you also know that Miss Bai Er is married, you have trouble with the master, go to Lang Tingxuan and others, these entanglements are useless.

If things get bigger, it will not be a good thing for you or Miss Bai Er, you must know that the second miss of the Bai family is now the quasi-daughter-in-law of the household Shangshu family, and she will be out of the cabinet next year. ”

Zhang Zuolun looked at him sluggishly, slapped the head of the entourage, and choked up with red eyes: "I don't admit this fact, if it wasn't for my father blocking it, I would have been married to Miao Hairpin a long time ago, I don't understand why my father is so obstructive."

This Zhang family, I am just a vain young master, you serve me, it was also arranged by my father, everything in the Zhang family is not mine, not even myself. ”

"Young master, don't say that." The entourage was so frightened that he wanted to cry: "You are the only son of the master, this mansion will be yours in the future, but you are still young, and the master is still in charge of you, and after you get married, the master will be much more relaxed." ”

Zhang Zuolun kicked the stone on the ground in annoyance, and said angrily: "In the end, he still wants me to marry that unlucky woman, I don't like her, why should I marry." Do you know who I envy the most? ”

The attendant shook his head cautiously.

Zhang Zuolun looked at the sky and let out a long sigh, "I envy Gong Changyan the most, he is only one year older than me, but now he can make his own decisions, he moved to the Hou Mansion and left the palace family, although I don't know why, but I can also understand, if it is me, I will stay away??" Zhang's family, I have been there alone. ”

"I can't imagine that Zhang Gongzi still has this kind of fighting spirit that does not admit defeat." Ling Yi chuckled softly.

Zhang Zuolun followed the prestige, and was stunned at first. Immediately said in surprise: "Miss Ling, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Ling Yi smiled: "The road is not a place to talk, why don't we sit down and talk?" ”

"Okay. It just so happens that I'm going to Lang Tingxuan, let's take a walk. Zhang Zuolun's depression and sadness just now disappeared, and he made a gesture to go to Lang Tingxuan.

Ling Yi said: "Lang Tingxuan has been there countless times, if Zhang Gongzi doesn't object, I will take you to another place, although the food is simple, the taste is excellent." ”

Zhang Zuolun was curious: "Where is it?" ”

"You'll find out when you go." Ling Yi turned around and led the way in front.

Zhang Zuolun didn't think about it and followed directly. The two walked for two quarters of an hour at the end of the month, and finally stopped in front of a noodle shop.

Zhang Zuolun looked at the old queue and said in astonishment: "Could it be that we have to wait in line?" ”

"Wait—" Ling Yi had just finished speaking. The second child in the store shouted, "Miss Ling, you have time to eat today, please come inside." You're eating something else. Or is it business as usual? ”

Ling Yi smiled: "Your eyes are really good, I will reward you with a penny today." ”

Xiao Er nodded and thanked him: "Thank you for your understanding of the little one, and the little one will be cheeky to accept it." He looked sideways at Zhang Zuolun and was a little surprised: "Miss Ling is not alone today?" ”

"Well, this is the son of the Zhang family, I'll take him here to taste the taste of yours."

"Since Miss Ling is a friend, the shop will definitely welcome it. Two people, please. Xiao Er politely led the two of them into the inner room through the side door, all the way to Ling Yi's exclusive private room.

Ordered. Xiao Er retreated, and Zhang Zuolun spoke in his turn, with disbelief in his tone: "What is the relationship between this and Miss Ling?" I think Miss Ling is even more kind to this place than Lang Tingxuan. ”

"The owner here is a friend of mine."

Zhang Zuolun suddenly said, "It seems that it should be a special friend, Miss Ling has a good relationship with the Bai family, but this friend is more important than the Bai family." ”

Ling Yi was stunned, and suddenly smiled: "Actually, I didn't mean anything else, but I just heard Zhang Gongzi say that he was envious of others, this street is Guitai Street, which is where the Hou Ye and Hou Mansion are located, so I took the liberty to take Zhang Gongzi to take a look." ”

Zhang Zuolun was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Can I enter the mansion?" ”

"The Hou Mansion is not a forbidden place, if you want to visit, just send a post, I see that the Hou Ye is not that pampered and arrogant person, if you go, you will not be refused."

Zhang Zuolun laughed and said, "I will definitely come to visit when I have the opportunity in the future-" After a pause, he asked tentatively: "Miss Ling, you should know about the marriage between the Bai family and the Fu family." ”

Ling Yiran nodded and said regretfully: "It's a pity, I have always thought that Zhang Gongzi is the most suitable person for the wonderful hairpin, but it is only because the elders do not agree, otherwise you two will be a pair made in heaven by the golden boy and jade girl." ”

Zhang Zuolun hung his head gloomily, with resentment in his tone: "My father doesn't take my meaning to heart at all, he only knows blind self-determination, and in his eyes, I'm afraid I don't have a retinue of him to look at." ”

Ling Yi comforted: "Every father is like this, they will think that we are still young, they will think that we can't achieve great things, at this time, I think there is only one way to change the fathers' minds." ”

Zhang Zuolun shook his head in disbelief: "There's no way, my father won't listen to me, he never listens to me, let alone face my words, in his eyes, I will always be a shameless and useless kid." ”

"This is not necessarily, didn't Zhang Gongzi himself say that he envied Hou Ye, didn't you also say that Hou Ye was only one year older than you, since he can be free, why can't you?"

Zhang Zuolun looked at her in astonishment, and after a long time, he said uncertainly: "Can I really do it?" Tell me, what am I going to do? ”

Ling Yi analyzed it seriously: "Does Zhang Gongzi know what the difference between himself and Hou Ye is?" ”

Zhang Zuolun thought carefully, Gong Xiru has made military merits and disaster relief, and what he seems to do is a big thing, an admirable big thing.

Ling Yi smiled slightly: "It seems that Zhang Gongzi also knows where the difference is, in fact, Hou Ye is only one year older than you, maybe you don't know, but the things he did were not his own will at the beginning, but he was forced to do it."

People are forced to dig out more potential, this is not who is smarter than whom, but who can sprout fighting spirit in the predicament, in my opinion, Zhang Gongzi is not lacking in fighting spirit, you are just an environment. ”

Zhang Zuolun was confused when he heard this, scratched his head and said, "What does Miss Ling mean?" ”

"I mean, now there is an environment in front of Zhang Gongzi, you only need to work hard to conquer that environment, then you will have merit; If you have merit, others will remember you, and only then can others listen to your opinions.

Even your father will take your words to heart, and he will think that you are a capable adult, not a playful child. ”

Zhang Zuolun's spirit instantly refreshed, and he said excitedly: "What is going on?" Please also ask Miss Ling to make it clear. ”

Ling Yi smiled slightly, whispering in his ear.

"Miss Ling, your dish is here." Xiao Er pushed the door in, and at a glance saw Ling Yi dodge away from Zhang Zuolun's side.

Xiao Er's face moved slightly, put down the dish quietly, said the words "two slow use", and respectfully retreated.

Zhi Yu was careful, and said in Ling Yi's ear: "Miss, the maid thinks that this little second is afraid that she is going to talk more." ”

Ling Yi pursed his lips and smiled: "I still want him to talk more." (To be continued.) )
