At this time, only the sound of hurried footsteps came back, Li Qingzhao took a few steps forward, and when he reached the door of the room, he saw the prime minister coming back in embarrassment.

There is no need to ask, Xiang Gong must have failed and returned.

Li Qingzhao stepped forward to support Xianggong and said with concern: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng looked pained, shook his head, didn't speak, lowered his head and wept to himself.

Li Qingzhao put his hand on his chest, shook his head again and again, and said, "It's okay, if you don't save it, you won't save it." Things have come to this point, what else do we have to ask for? ”

Zhao Mingcheng looked up at his mother, with a concerned look on his face, and a little worried, and said eagerly: "No, no, don't be discouraged, lady, although Mingcheng didn't say anything about moving his father, it's just that it's not the right time for me to go, and after tomorrow, how about I go to ask my father again?" ”

Li Qingzhao looked at Xiang Gong affectionately, shook his head and said, "If you don't say anything today, what's the use of going tomorrow?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "Actually, it was the wrong time when I just went, my father was talking and laughing with the guests, but I suddenly came up to ask for it coldly, so my father drove me back in a fit of anger." ”

Li Qingzhao smiled contemptuously and said, "Xianggong, what do you think?" It's obvious that the father-in-law didn't agree, so he kicked you out. ”

Zhao Mingcheng shook his head, reached out to touch the lady's face, gently lifted her face up, and he was facing her, and said: "No, no, it must be that Daddy was busy entertaining guests and couldn't take care of me, so he drove me out first." Lady, lady, you must not give up. Mingcheng came back today to help you. Don't give up. ”

Li Qingzhao whimpered a few times, and sobbed again: "Forget it." ”

Forget it on the lips, but the heart is chaotic. Li Qingzhao still hesitated, thinking to himself: "My father-in-law drove out Xianggong, maybe because he was busy, but I think he still feels that as a figure of the New Party, he can't help his opponent."

It's really going to be over now, and my father-in-law won't help me. Who else can I ask for? ”

Haoyue cried a few times on the side, and said to the young lady: "Miss, the matter has come to this." Only you have to ask for it yourself. ”

Li Qingzhao was confused, turned his head and stared at Haoyue for a long time, and finally said, "Yes, yes." I should have begged for it myself. ”

By all means. I wanted to turn around and go back to the table, but I suddenly heard: "Brother Zhao, your house is so lively." ”

Li Qingzhao turned around and looked again, and saw Brother Zhang running happily, and stopped in front of himself and Xianggong.

Zhao Mingcheng was annoyed in his heart, and he was about to deal with two sentences casually, but he thought: "Brother Zhang is happy, I still don't want to ruin his interest." ”

Zhang Ruzhou stood still. Look at this, look at that. He was very envious and said: "Today, the old brother's mansion is full of people, which can be regarded as very beautiful. ”

Zhao Mingcheng smiled lightly and nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Zhang Ruzhou stretched out his hand and patted Brother Zhao's chest, and said generously: "Look at you like this, you are the master, I am the guest, you should treat me generously, why are you still in such a daze?" Today, there is a happy event in my brother's house, and my brother has come to cheer, so you have to treat me well. ”

Zhao Mingcheng nodded and smiled: "That's certain, certain." ”

Zhang Ruzhou said: "Brother Zhao, now you are double happy!" My father was promoted, and you can be relied on. And your daughter-in-law has been pregnant for a few months, so it will not be long before you become a father. Isn't it perfect to be in the world, to have a name, and to have children? ”

Zhao Mingcheng was still sad for his mother, but when he heard Brother Zhang's praise at this moment, he really felt that he was doing well, so he suddenly felt happy in his heart, narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said, "Brother Zhang has said it." Although Mingcheng can get the help of his father, he also has to rely on his own ability to be an official. ”

Zhang Ruzhou said with a smile: "Brother Zhao is so ambitious, Ruzhou can study with you, then he has met a sage." ”

Zhao Mingcheng smiled, inadvertently turned to look at the lady, saw her bowed head sluggishly, suddenly as if there was no one around, his heart suddenly changed from joy to sadness, and thought: "The lady is still thinking about the teacher." ”

When Zhang Ruzhou saw Brother Zhao like this, he looked at his sister-in-law with a sad face, and there seemed to be a few tears on her sideburns, so she asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Zhao Mansion is happy, you should all be happy, why are you sad now? ”

Haoyue was already surprised by Zhang Gongzi's sudden arrival this time, and in addition to being surprised, she also felt uncomfortable, Zhang Gongzi really didn't come at the right time.

Fang Cai just felt uncomfortable, but now he listened to Zhang Gongzi talking with a smile all the time, not observing the appearance of the people around him at all, so he said anxiously: "Zhang Gongzi has no vision, everyone here is sad, why did you laugh as soon as you came, what kind of people did we become?" ”

But after all, they are of the same generation as Miss Zhao Xianggong, and they are just subordinates, so they don't talk much, but stand in place and do it in a hurry.

Li Qingzhao was sad in his heart, but when Brother Zhang came, he couldn't send his temper to others, so he also forced a smile and said, "No, we are all very happy." ”

Zhang Ruzhou smiled: "It's good to be happy, it's good to be happy." Presumably, Mrs. Sister-in-law has also seen a lot of outsiders at home. ”

Li Qingzhao said with a straight face: "Qingzhao has always been in the room, how can he see people like this?" ”

As he spoke, Li Qingzhao pointed to his stomach and gestured to Brother Zhang.

When Zhang Ruzhou heard this, he seemed to have an enlightenment, and said "oh", and then said: "My sister-in-law is waiting to give birth at home, and she is reasonable everywhere, and she also has a woman's demeanor." ”

Li Qingzhao's face flushed, and he lowered his head and whispered, "Brother Zhang has won the award." ”

Zhang Ruzhou waved his hand and said: "These are nothing, it's just that I think the Zhao Mansion is happy, so I think that Mrs. Sister-in-law will also have celebrities here." Mrs. Sister-in-law is famous for her poetry, as long as the people of the capital come to Zhao Mansion, who will miss the opportunity to see the beauty of a talented woman?

Ah, but my sister-in-law said that no one came. That Ru Zhou thought to himself, it must have been specially arranged by Lord Zhao, for the sake of his sister-in-law's peace of mind. ”

Li Qingzhao nodded and said, "Maybe." ”

Zhang Ruzhou said: "I came from Lord Zhao just now, and I saw that many dignitaries and nobles came to cheer. Today, it seems that your small Zhao Mansion is going to accommodate the rich and noble families in Bianjing City. ”

Zhao Mingcheng looked at the lady and thought to himself: "What does it matter to me if they don't come?" ”

Li Qingzhao said: "Oh. It was the father-in-law who treated people modestly, so his friends were widely spread. ”

Zhang Ruzhou said: "Exactly, they all came to celebrate, and at this time, the lobby over there is bustling!" ”

Zhao Mingcheng smiled and said, "Yes, yes." ”

Just after hearing Brother Zhang praise himself, Zhao Mingcheng was still a little dazed and didn't know the direction. Now listening to Brother Zhang's ramblings, I'm really a little disgusted.

Zhang Ruzhou was very attentive, looking up and chuckling. said: "Now it's settled, Lord Zhao's former opponents have become degraded people today, Brother Zhao." You will not become a dignitary in the future. After Xiangye? From now on, Lord Zhao is above one person, and ten thousand people are below, what about you? Why are you above a few people and below ten thousand? ”

Zhao Mingcheng nodded and said, "Yes, yes." Well, it's ...... today."

Zhang Ruzhou looked up at the sky and said, "It's early." I took a leave of absence and came out without much importance. To be here is also to be touched by your joy. ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "No, I mean ......"

Zhang Ruzhou rushed to speak: "What did you say? Didn't you come back as fast as you could? Why, my former classmates, now my brother is blessed, don't you recognize me as a brother? ”

Zhao Mingcheng was so speechless by Brother Zhang, so he had to bow his head and say in a loud voice: "Naturally not, naturally not." ”

Zhang Ruzhou said: "That's right. I went there to congratulate you, but I still didn't know anyone, so I hurried to you, brother, to catch up with you, and to come to you, not so restrained in front of all the rich and noble. ”

Zhao Mingcheng nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Looking down at the lady again, Zhao Mingcheng thought in his heart: "The lady urgently needs me to comfort her, now that Brother Zhang is really not the right time, he came here and taught me what to do?" ”

Still caring about the lady in his heart, Zhao Mingcheng reached out and stroked the lady and touched her shoulder, which was very natural.

Li Qingzhao was still sad, and suddenly felt that Xianggong touched him, so he looked up at Xianggong, and when he looked at him, he suddenly felt warm in his heart.

Zhang Ruzhou looked around, and said generously: "You two are tired of staying here, why don't I tell you about the situation in the lobby?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng thought to himself: "You have said so, can I still refuse?" ”

Li Qingzhao thought to himself: "My father-in-law is now entertaining guests in the lobby, and it is in vain for me to beg him." Or let Brother Zhang into the house, so as not to lose the etiquette and make people laugh. ”

So he stretched out his hand to the house, and Li Qingzhao said, "Brother Zhang came into the house and said." ”

Zhao Mingcheng was still worried that the lady had no intention of talking, and at this moment, when he heard the lady's initiative, he also stretched out his hand to the house and signaled, "Brother Zhang, please come in." ”

Zhang Ruzhou was not polite, and strode in, but he stood aside first, and waited for Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng to sit down to command the ability before sitting aside, so he stretched out his hand and gestured, and said while gesturing: "You don't know, in the capital, the big officials of the faction of the law change have arrived, and they get together to talk about the friendship between teachers and students, and they also say that they will talk about national affairs for a while. ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "What is a major national event? ”

Zhang Ruzhou said: "Don't you know? So what are you doing in the lobby? ”

Zhao Mingcheng's heart trembled, and he thought, "I just went to intercede for my teacher." But I didn't see Brother Zhang either. ”

After thinking about it in his heart, Zhao Mingcheng didn't bother to explain more, but continued: "It's okay, I don't know about any national affairs." ”

Zhang Ruzhou said with a smile: "Oh, Brother Zhao is obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and he doesn't know anything about political affairs. Ru Zhou also understands, well, Ru Zhou told you, I just heard with my own ears that those elders of ours are going to talk about how to change the law and rejuvenate the country! ”

Li Qingzhao sighed: "What a big idea. ”

Zhang Ruzhou said: "That's natural. Not only that, but I've also heard from some newcomers. ”

Li Qingzhao was puzzled: "What newcomer?" ”

Zhang Ruzhou said: "It was the people who originally intended to throw themselves into the conservative faction, and now they also come to celebrate, they have listened to the analysis of the emperor Shengming, and they saw that the change of law is really beneficial to our Great Song Dynasty, so they changed their minds and wanted to advocate changing the law to make it stronger."

Lord Zhao also doesn't care about the past, there are friends who come from afar, and they are all guests, and everyone cares about the country's social welfare, how can Lord Zhao not receive the gift? ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "Why did the emperor think about changing the law, so they changed their minds?" What did you do earlier? ”

Zhang Ruzhou said: "Hey? Don't say that, as long as you want to work for my Great Song, no matter when, it's not too late. ”

Zhao Mingcheng nodded, but looked at the lady again, seeing that she was dazed and sluggish, he thought to himself: "The lady must still be thinking about the teacher." ”

When Li Qingzhao heard Brother Zhang's words, he was even more anxious, his father was belittled, but Brother Zhang was here to change the law for a long time and for a short time, which made him very uncomfortable, and he didn't want to listen to it, but Brother Zhang was a guest, and he couldn't say anything to send off the guest, so he had to endure it here and listen to the words of others.

Zhang Ruzhou continued: "Brother Zhao, do you know Mrs. Zhao? Those newcomers are definitely speaking out of their mouths, taking out the famous texts of the ancient era or thousands of years ago, taking history as a mirror, and talking about how to prosper our Great Song Dynasty without going to the end of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Zhao Mingcheng smiled lightly and said, "Since this is the case, then those Hongru must know how to stabilize the country, and it is also a good thing for my father to be able to talk to them." ”

Zhang Ruzhou nodded and said, "I believe that with the efforts of these people, we will definitely prosper and let their barbarians still invade us." ”

Looking at Mrs. Sister-in-law's sluggish appearance, Zhang Ruzhou said, "What's wrong with Mrs. Sister-in-law?" Why is she unhappy all the time? ”

Zhao Mingcheng shook his head and said, "No, our father was promoted, and we are all very happy." ”

Zhang Ruzhou said: "That is, those rich and noble families all have status, status, and culture......

Brother Zhang continued to talk non-stop, the more Li Qingzhao listened, the more annoyed he became, and he was aggrieved in his heart but it was not easy to say it, although Brother Zhang was also his friend, but he had very few friendships on weekdays, and it was not easy for him to tell him what was in his heart. Besides, as soon as he came in, he only cared about himself and said, completely ignoring how he and Xianggong felt.

After thinking about it, Li Qingzhao felt that the current Brother Zhang was not the same person as the original Zhang Gongzi, and everyone had not seen each other for a long time, and I am afraid that their minds had changed.

In fact, Brother Zhang has not changed, but Li Qingzhao doesn't know what Brother Zhang means in his heart.

Li Qingzhao thought left and right, listening to Brother Zhang say that people are rich and noble, as if they were full of benefits and no harm, the more they listened, the more uncomfortable they felt, thinking about what kind of situation their father would be at the moment?

Li Qingzhao didn't dare to think about it!

But the more I don't let myself think about it, the more I can't help but think about it.

Li Qingzhao's heart was confused, and he finally couldn't help it, he groaned softly in pain, touched his head with both hands, and lowered his head.

Seeing the lady like this, Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly reached out to support the lady, and said with concern: "What's wrong with you?" (To be continued......)
