Because it was a surname, he talked to Zhang Xun about brothers, but in fact, he had no blood relatives. As a horse bandit, Zhang Tianai can come and go freely in and out of Mayi, naturally because of this relationship. Occasionally help sell stolen goods, and take some shares. But he claims to be an official, and Zhang Xun is a thief, he is secretive about this relationship, he doesn't mention it in front of people, and he handles things through his master, which is somewhat contemptible.

And on that day, when I saw Zhang Tianai go to the ancestral hall to worship and inquired about her relationship with Li Mu, Zhang Xianling's face immediately took a 180-degree turn.

In the past, Zhang Tianai came to Mayi, but Zhang Xianling didn't put this 'niece' in his eyes, otherwise when Bai Qiaoqiao met Zhang Tianai, she would not have lived in Ma Cripple's house. But after knowing the relationship between Zhang Tianai and Li Mu, this niece is closer than a kiss. Zhang Xianling invited Zhang Tianai and his entourage to his mansion, cleaned up and down, and even sprinkled the dust with water.

After Zhang Tianai and his entourage left, Zhang Xianling let out the wind and said that he and Zhuluhou were in-laws. His niece is the concubine of the Marquis of Zhulu. This news is too fierce, after the surrounding counties learned about it, they only gave Li Siwen a gift in the past, and prepared an extra one, who would dare to slack off on the in-laws of the deer marquis?

Li Siwen also heard the news, but how did he know the twists and turns, he saw that the county order was surnamed Zhang, and Zhang Tianai was also surnamed Zhang, so he really regarded them as a family. When I saw him again, I was a lot more polite. Zhang Xianling saw that the lie had not been exposed, so he took advantage of the situation to pull the banner and pretend to be a tiger skin, and from then on to the present, he has been Li Mu's uncle for more than half a year.

During the Chinese New Year, this uncle specially went to Zhangjiazhai to pay a New Year's greeting to Zhang Xun and gave a lot of gifts. How could there be such a thing before, Zhang Xun gave him a gift for the New Year, and he didn't meet him to let the master collect it on his behalf. Now that the two of them have fallen, Zhang Xun didn't bother with him, and he could be regarded as 'finalizing' the matter of his uncle.

Zhang Xianling also learned from Zhang Xun's mouth that Li Mu was going to marry Zhang Tianai during the New Year, and began to prepare when he returned to Mayi. In order to shoot Li Mu's sycophants, he took his own money and rebuilt the neighborhood where Li Mu's house was located, claiming that it was the favor of the Hou of Zhulu. Only the original courtyard of Li Mu's house has been retained in its original state, which is for Li Mu's nostalgia.

And in order to let Li Mu live in Mayi for a few days, he deliberately built another mansion. Although the scale is not as luxurious as it is, it is also readily available, and even the maids are prepared. is not only a maid, but he also spent a lot of money to buy several Guishan female slaves, what is the purpose, naturally men understand.

is so eager to leave a good impression when Li Mu returns to his hometown and take this line. But these things are ready, Li Mu didn't come, although he knew that it was not so early, but he couldn't hold back his anxiety, every day when he arrived at the city gate, he had to stand on the city wall, looking in the direction of Chang'an, hoping to see the Hou Ye's guard of honor coming. So that his preparation was used early.

Today, as today, disappointed at the city gate, Zhang Xianling asked the concubine to wash her feet with hot water, squinting her eyes and thinking about things. Somehow, suddenly there was a palpitation, and when the concubine saw this, she hurriedly brought him a pill, which was bought from Lingzhou, and one cost 500 Wen, which was not affordable for ordinary people in terms of Ma Yi's consumption level.

Zhang Xianling took a pill, and his palpitations gradually calmed down. He muttered to himself, as if to say to his concubine: "In the past few days, I have been muttering in my heart, always feeling that something has to happen, what can happen, what can happen?" ”

The concubine is only in her twenties, half younger than his age, and the most annoying thing for young people is nagging, relying on being favored, so they are coquettish from time to time: "Master, you are just too careful, what can you do?" We are now on the pro-deer marquis, and in these nearby places, except for Dingxiang County, we can't afford to provoke it, don't the other county orders have to respect us? When the lord sees the Hou Ye, maybe, the county will have to respect us? ”

"What nonsense!" Although Zhang Xianling doted on this little concubine, he didn't reach the level of Se Lingzhi's faintness, and he still knew the depths: "Dingxiang County, he is not only the brother of the Hou Ye, he is also the son of General Li Jida, such a nobleman, you dare to discuss it?" ”

"Master, why don't you understand the meaning of the slave family?" The concubine leaned over to Zhang Xianling's ear and whispered, "Have you forgotten your brother?" How did he become the old man of the Hou Ye? ”

Zhang Xianling was stunned for a moment, and then said: "He has a daughter, and the three of me are sons, so I don't have this blessing." ”

"Who knew you were all sons, so you couldn't have a daughter?"

"Where am I going...... Zhang Xianling suddenly opened his mind and said, "You mean, I...... No, no, if it is exposed, will I still be alive? ”

"Rich and dangerous, sir, if you don't try, how do you know? I have a younger sister in my family, she is very good-looking, you just say that she is your daughter-" Before he finished speaking, suddenly the master broke in, and the concubine had few clothes, Zhang Xianling hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, and scolded: "It's getting more and more unruly, you're going to die?" Lord's bedroom, you dare to break into it casually? ”

"Oh, my lord!" The master was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said, "Hurry up and take a look, someone is coming to the city gate!" ”

"Who? The city gates are closed, and the king of heaven has to wait for tomorrow. Get out of here, sir, I'm going to sleep. ”

"Master, can you sleep, I just went to take a look, maybe ......" The master swallowed and foamed, and said, "It may be that the Hou master is here!" ”

"Master Hou?" Zhang Xianling's face turned white as soon as he brushed it, and he went to step on his shoes without caring about wiping his feet, reached out to grab his clothes but couldn't find his sleeves, and was so anxious that he was sweating profusely: "How is it possible?" Why did Master Hou come at night? ”

"I said that I wanted to go into the city in a hurry, but I didn't expect it to be late and was blocked out. Hou Ye ordered that he would camp outside the city and enter the city tomorrow. I thought this was wrong, so I hurried to report it to the master, master, you can go quickly, the Hou master is not angry, right? You let him stay out of the city for the night, and come in tomorrow morning, your head-"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Xianling finally put on his shoes, picked up his clothes and threw them down, and said to the concubine: "Go and get my official uniform!" ”

The concubine also panicked: "Master, which official uniform?" "It's not unreasonable for her to ask, Zhang Xianling has been an official of the Sui Dynasty, and he has also been an official of the Turks, and there are several official uniforms.

When Zhang Xianling heard her say this, he was so angry that he shook his hand and scolded: "What other official uniform can it be, master, I am an official of Datang, naturally it is the official uniform of Datang, you don't have a brain, Ming'er will send you back to your parents' house!" ”
