As the only princess born to the Empress Dowager Zhou and the sister of Xianzong's mother, Princess Chongqing was favored in the Chenghua and Hongzhi dynasties, and was the most noble princess in the world at that time.

Zhou Jing was born in a scholarly family, and he likes to read, and he is also deeply favored by Xianzong, and he often follows the Hu and is in charge of the Zongren Mansion, and the scenery is unique.

Zhou Xian has been in and out of the court since he was a child, and his bearing is far from being comparable to the descendants of the nouveau riche Qingyunhou and Changningbo brothers, and Zhou Xian also looks down on the domineering style of these two uncles and fathers-in-law.

In the eighth and twelfth years of Hongzhi, the concubine and the eldest princess passed away one after another, and Zhou Xian gradually narrowed the distance between him and his uncle's family by keeping filial piety.

Especially after the death of the Empress Dowager Zhou in the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, the Zhou family has not yet converged half a point, and Zhou Xian has become more and more distant from these two families.

Although there is less movement, but in the end there is a blood relationship, it is impossible to completely get rid of it, and there are always a few cousins who have a good relationship, and if he really asks to come to the front, it is impossible for him to refuse all at once.

Today, Zhou Xian was asked out by Zhou Shi, saying that he was eating and drinking, but in fact, he also had something to ask for.

Zhou Xian greeted Zhang Hui and a few others, he has rarely entered the palace since the death of the eldest princess of Chongqing, and he does not recognize Liu Zhong, but in the end, he is a person who has walked in the palace since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the palace people.

It's just that he doesn't stammer like Zhou Shi, and he also has a bit of noble reserve when he greets each other.

Zhou Xian still paid more attention to Shen Rui, although he was as indifferent as Shen Rui, and he never said a superfluous word, but he also saw the details of Zhang Hui, Liu Zhong and Shen Rui's relationship.

Since Zhang Hui and the others refused to drink the banquet, Zhou Shi couldn't pull people to go, so he had to let them go.

Zhang Hui and the three of them walked out of the distance, and when they turned around and saw the cousins of the Zhou family entering a restaurant, Zhang Huicai whispered to Shen Rui: "Don't look at the first Empress Dowager Immortal, Qingyunhou and Changning Bo Zhou's family are not as good as before, but Zhou Xian's side has no influence, and it is still quite favorable." ”

His voice was even lowered, almost whispering, "At the beginning of September, the military department was ordered to check the military attaché's redundancy, and Jinyiwei's side was also a leather cut, a downgrade of a downgrade, Zhou Xian was written at the front of the excerpt, and he was the first one to be demoted, but the emperor was stunned and didn't move him." ”

Shen Rui was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, Zhang Hui was afraid that he also knew about the life lawsuit of the Shen and Zhou families, which was a euphemism to tell him that if he wanted to seek revenge against Zhou Xian, he had to weigh Brother Shou's attitude.

Shen Rui smiled dumbly, only nodded to indicate that he knew, but he didn't say anything, although Zhang Hui thought too much, but he also appreciated this reminder.

He squinted slightly and looked at the restaurant, the current Shen family had to lie dormant quietly, and wait for him, the Zhou family, the Zhang family, and the accounts to be calculated slowly......

*

On the top of the restaurant, Zhou Xian also quietly watched Zhang Hui and the three of them walk through the streets and alleys, and their figures gradually disappeared into the crowd.

Zhou Shizheng was talking endlessly about how Liu Zhong got face in front of the emperor, and complained that Zhang Hui had become busy recently, and it was difficult to make an appointment, and Shen Rui was now keeping filial piety, and there were no new things to enter, so it was boring.

Zhou Xian sneered in his heart, Zhang Hui's face was full of impatience, but this stupid cousin didn't see it at all, why didn't people make an appointment, didn't they make it clear that they wanted to stay away from you?

Zhou Shiyuan is a scheming person, which is actually very popular in the crowding Jinyiwei, and everyone usually likes stupid colleagues rather than colleagues with many hearts. But what's bad is that he has a big mouth, he can't hold words in his heart, and he is stupid and bold to dare to say anything.

When the Empress Dowager Zhou was alive, Zhou had this golden Buddha as a backer, so it didn't matter what happened.

But now that there is no backer, this defect of Zhou Shi is dying.

Zhang Hui was scared away because of Zhou Shi's "unconcealed mouth". ——What kind of place is in the palace, if Zhou Shi says something terrible, it will be difficult for those who listen to it to be killed.

Therefore, Zhang Huicai secretly asked Yinzi to find Shangguan to adjust the value, no longer working with Zhou Shi, and Pingsu also reduced his contacts.

After the salt introduction and the selection of concubines, Zhang Hui was even more eager to stay away from the Zhou family.

In fact, Zhou Shi is not stupid, since the death of the Empress Dowager Zhou, he is very arrogant and heartless, and he also feels the change in the attitude of the people around him.

But he himself doesn't know the real crux of the problem, he just thinks that everyone in the world is snobbish, and he has a sense of warmth and coldness in the world.

When Zhou Jiayan caused trouble, Brother Shou didn't call him to accompany him very much, and his former good partners gradually drifted away, and Zhou Shi's heart became anxious, and as he got older, he also understood more and more the importance of managing contacts, so he picked up a "good-tempered" buddy like Zhang Hui.

"The emperor already knew the heir of the Shen Shangshu family?" Zhou Xian retracted his gaze, fiddled with his chopsticks while serving food on the table, and asked as if unintentionally.

Zhou Shi originally came to find Zhou Xian on the side, but since he met these three people at this time, he couldn't help but learn from this cousin, who had always been close: "Yes, when the first emperor was there, the emperor went out of the palace to play and met." Although Shen Rui is young, he can play a lot of tricks, which is very fun. Brother Xian, you say, should I also find something fun to enter? ”

But he didn't remember at all that there was still a life between the Shen family and the Horse Mansion.

Zhou Xian's eyes were dark and inexplicable, and he only said lightly: "When the emperor was in the East Palace, he didn't like to have fun, but now he is in charge of the world, and he has all the opportunities, so let's put the fun aside." ”

Seeing Zhou Shi's disapproving look, Zhou Xian sighed in his heart, and his tone became more serious, "Don't think what I said is a cliché, you are not a child anymore, and you are on duty in the palace, so you should care more about the affairs of the court." Now the elders are staring at the emperor's studies, and the most taboo is those who lead the emperor to play, don't run into it! ”

Zhou Shi agreed in his heart, but he couldn't help but snort: "Why don't I know about the court, a few days ago, the court was arguing about the resignation of Shen Rui and his second uncle." Brother Xian, you just say that Shen Rui and his second uncle are not virtuous, but Shen Rui can still enter the eyes of the emperor, and he can still be with Zhang Hui and Gonggong Liu! - Brother Xian, you don't know, now this little Father-in-law Liu is the closest person to the emperor's side, and the eldest Father-in-law Liu, Liu Jin, and Liu Daban are not as long as he stays by the emperor's side in a day. Why do you say Shen Rui is close to them? It's not that the emperor is having fun! ”

Zhou Xian's eyes flashed, he lowered his eyelids again, and said lightly: "An individual has a personal fate, and he got the emperor's eye, which was created by him." Your family is in a different situation now, if you listen to me, then you will be on an errand, and don't think about it. ”

Zhou Shi is the grandson of Zhou Yu, Changningbo, and Zhou Yu is a more powerful existence than his brother Zhou Shou, has always been rampant, Hongzhi had been against Zhang Heling for seizing the grange, the two house slaves were armed and beat each other, and the lawsuit was fought in front of Emperor Hongzhi, and each played forty boards before it was resolved.

With a troublesome grandfather like Zhou Yu, and without the protection of the Empress Dowager, Zhou Shi still learned not to be a man with his tail between his legs in the palace, and sooner or later he was repaired by someone who found an excuse.

Today's little emperor is not a benevolent person like the first emperor.

Looking at the matter of salt introduction, it is a slap to give a sweet date, and then look at the checks and balances in the matter of choosing a concubine, it is already to play with the Zhou family and the Zhang family.

Zhou Xian also heard from his subordinates, and the Zhou family and the Zhang family's granges were not completely fiddled out, they were all masters who refused to suffer losses, and there would inevitably be conflicts again when they turned around.

Seeing that Zhou Shi was not a person who listened to persuasion, Zhou Xian also knew Zhou Shi's personality very well, so he didn't say much, and he also thought in his heart that Zhou Shi would be far away in the near future.

The meal was tasteless, and it ended hastily, and Zhou Xian begged Zhou Xian for two things, and Zhou Xian was also vague and did not agree.

After the separation, Zhou Xian returned home and called his henchmen and staff to the study.

"Today, I met the heir of Shen Shangshu's family." Zhou Xian's face was solemn, "He is in one place with Zhang Hui, the second son of the British Mansion, and the little Liu Gonggong next to the emperor." Listening to Zhou Shi, the emperor had long recognized him and played together. ”

The steward was the first to react, and Zhou Mao's "drunk and drowning" matter was taken care of by this steward, and he was a little surprised at the moment: "How did he climb such a high branch?" Isn't it his father-in-law Yang Ting's relationship with that side? The old slave will send someone to keep an eye on him! ”

The staff said: "The student thought that Dong Weng was too worried, and after Shen Cang's succession, the student also paid attention, this son has some talents, but now he is just a small talent, whether he can be promoted, whether he can be a jinshi and the first are unknown." The emperor is still young, he just likes him to have fun for a while, and if you look at it in two years, he will be regarded as a lifter, and how can he get into the eyes of the emperor. ”

The staff paused and said, "The Shen family is also suffering from many calamities now, and I am afraid that it will not last long." And at the beginning, we have already given the Shen family an explanation, Dong Weng doesn't have to worry. ”

In the eyes of the staff, after Shen Cang's death, the Shen family was not afraid, and Shen Luo's incident had already been smoothed out.

Relatives of the clan like Zhou Xian know how important the emperor's favor is, because all their rights and status come from the emperor's favor.

Shen Rui is nothing, but what if Shen Rui is favored by the emperor?

is another young emperor, uncertain temperament, and incomprehensible little emperor, God knows how much the emperor will support his favored ministers.

The steward said worriedly: "What Mr. Wu said is true, but, this kid has a good Yue family, then Yang Ting and ......"

The staff smiled, quite a bit of a master outside the world, and said: "Yang Tinghe is still too late to deal with the three pavilion elders, where can he take care of this little son-in-law." ”

Zhou Xian suddenly asked: "Last time, did you say that Yang Tinghe's family members faced the Zhang family in the palace?" ”

The steward hurriedly replied: "There is such a thing, the old slave heard the letter and sent someone to inquire clearly." The moment repeats what happened in the palace that day.

Zhou Xian paced back and forth in the house a few times, and suddenly said, "If you tell the Shen family about the events of the day......

The staff and housekeeper changed color in unison, and said in unison: "Think twice, master!" ”

Zhou Xian raised his head and closed his eyes, exhaled deeply, and couldn't help but scold Zhou Mao thousands of times in his heart.

The eldest princess of Chongqing has a very close relationship with the concubine, although the concubine has a concubine, but they are cold when they and their children are born.

And the eldest princess is so noble, the concubine is the mud on the ground, she doesn't bother to step on it, and she is afraid of dirty shoes.

The eldest princess has always been alive in the Zhou Horse Mansion, and of course the concubines and concubines will not grow up as noble as the concubines and concubines in the Wandering Horse Mansion, where the princess died early and the concubines were in charge.

But it is also the concubine of the Horse Mansion, they are all familiar with each other, and it is inevitable to compare with each other.

That Zhou Mao is a hollow-eyed person, he has been in the brocade clothes and guards of the You family for many years, and he has been ignored in the princess's mansion, and he feels that his future is hopeless.

Qingyunhou and Changning Bo Zhou are the uncles of the eldest princess, and he knew that it was useless to stammer, so he went to concentrate on hugging the Zhang family's thighs.

For this reason, he even did not hesitate to match up and introduce the sister of a mother's compatriot to Zhang Yanling's nephew.

At that time, Zhou Juma had already passed away for many years, and the Zongren Mansion had been taken over by Chun'an Concubine, and the filial piety of the eldest princess of Chongqing had just passed, Zhou Xian Shang Ding was worried at home, and the Horse Mansion was the weakest time.

At that time, in order to consolidate the status of the crown prince, Emperor Hongzhi favored Empress Zhang and the Zhang family, and it was at the height of the power of the Zhang family.

The Zhang family came to the Horse Mansion in such a big way to propose marriage, understanding that they wanted to suppress people with power.

Thinking about it, the Zhang family also wanted to take revenge for the Grange with Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu.

Zhou Mao's aunt knelt in front of Zhou Xian and cried to death, "Although the slave is lowly, my sister is the master of the Horse Mansion and the daughter of the princess. ”

Zhou Mao scolded his aunt for not knowing anything, and tried to squeeze out a flattering smile to Zhou Xian, saying all kinds of stammering words in his mouth, praising how the Zhang family is, but his eyes are shining with pride, as if he is saying what can you Zhou Xian do?

Zhou Xian looked at the farce of this mother and son, and his heart was broken, these people all took themselves too seriously, what are the concubines and concubines?

Zhang Yanling's nephew married the daughter of a cheap concubine in the Horse Mansion, how much face can the Zhang family earn?

Zhou Xian nodded in response to this marriage, and coldly watched the aunt rush over and beat Zhou Mao like crazy, Zhou Mao dodged in embarrassment, and after being scratched on the face, he ruthlessly kicked his aunt down, and made up a few heartwarming feet.

The aunt was angry and hateful, and was kicked again, and soon she got sick and died.

The concubine did not have a filial piety for her aunt, and within two months of her aunt's death, Zhou Xian married her sister hastily according to the specifications of the 300 taels of silver dowry given by Zhang Yanling's wife and brother, and the same 300 taels of dowry.

Zhou Xian watched Zhou Mao flattering and welcoming the Zhang family brothers in front of the saddle and after the saddle, and wanted to see what kind of "help" Zhou Mao could get from that hateful sister.

Later, Zhou Xian couldn't help but regret it, if he knew that Zhou Mao would have a mortal enmity with the Jiuqing family in the future, he should have taken care of this idiot a long time ago!

However, people did not have front and back eyes.

Seeing Shen Rui, Zhou Xian couldn't help but think of Shen Luo, and remembered that day when Zhou Mao knelt down in front of him with fear from the bottom of his heart for the first time, begging to save his life.

During the Double Ninth Festival that year, the children of Beijing met to climb to enjoy the scenery and eat wine. Zhang Yanling also set up a banquet in Xishan Restaurant, but he got up late and went late, and one of the singers he often ordered was ordered away by a group of scholars in the private room next door.

Zhou Maohu was used to the pretending tiger, so he volunteered to run over to ask for someone, and he still wanted to be majestic.

And in that box were Shen Luo and his classmates, half of them were newcomers, high-spirited, and they looked down on their relatives the most.

Shen Luo also reprimanded Zhou Mao, but he was quite elegant. He also brought several cousins of the Qiao family, among which Qiao Yongde was the most mean and extremely damaging, so that Zhou Mao was annoyed and ashamed, and he almost wanted to call the Hao slave family to fight.

In the end, the shopkeeper came forward, said all the good things, and changed two girls for the scholars, and there were also old and serious scholars who didn't want to cause trouble, so they persuaded their classmates to change the singers.

How did Zhou Mao swallow this breath willingly, and went back to add oil and vinegar to Zhang Yanling.

Although the singer was transferred, Zhang Yanling did not lose any face, but he had always been rampant, and he was extremely unhappy when he heard Zhou Mao's words, and Qiao Yongde's words sounded like insinuating about him.

He quietly fed croton to all the scholars' horses, especially Qiao Yongde's horses, intending to teach him a lesson.

If everyone rides back, there are many pedestrians on the road, and the horse speed is not fast, but the horse stumbles halfway and throws the person down, and the others lose a big ugly, and Qiao Yongde will break his leg at most.

Who wants the scholars to meet to go to Zhuangzi to run horses for play, Shen Luo and the Qiao brothers also went together, Qiao Yongde rode and shot mediocre, and wanted to get a lottery, greedy for Shen Luo's horse Shenjun, secretly grinding and exchanging horses with him.

Shen Luo has been polishing his body since he was a child, and he can't say that he is both civil and military, but he is also skilled in riding and shooting, and he doesn't care about the quality of horses, and he has always been close to the Qiao family, so he agreed to Qiao Yongde.

How fast the horse ran, the horses attacked one after another, and Shen Luo's mount had diarrhea first, and quickly wailed and collapsed, Shen Luo fell off the horse defenselessly, broke his neck bone, and died on the spot.

At that time, Shen Cang was already an official servant, and Shen Luo was the only one among the descendants of the three brothers of the Shen family.

Zhang Yanling is no longer domineering, he is not afraid of "petty officials" such as Shilang, and the major event of breaking people's bloodlines cannot be ambiguous, and it is really troublesome to the emperor, even Emperor Hongzhi is not partial. So he didn't want to think about it, and directly pushed Zhou Mao out of the top cylinder.

When Zhou Mao and a group of scholars were fighting for prostitutes in the restaurant, there were many bystanders, and Ben couldn't get rid of the suspicion, and then forced by Zhang Yanling's power, Zhou Mao had to admit the guilt.

The matter involved the emperor's relatives and relatives, and there was the disgraceful matter of fighting for prostitutes, but the Shen family did not make a statement, only announced that he had fallen from a horse and died, and dealt with the matter in a low-key manner.

Zhou Xian checked the matter thoroughly.

Although he knew the truth, Zhou Mao's confession was a foregone conclusion, and it was impossible to overturn the case, and in the face of the Zhang family, which was dominated by two princes, and the Shen family, which had only one squire, Zhou Xian did not hesitate to choose to stand on the side of the Zhang family, personally went to the Shen family to apologize, and quickly disposed of Zhou Mao with thunderous means to lay a good cover for the Zhang family.

But this time, that time.

The first emperor was great, and the new emperor ascended the throne, judging from the current situation, the little emperor was not so friendly to the Zhang family, and Shen Rui now has the blue eyes of the little emperor.

"Today I see that heir ......" Zhou Xian did not say the second half of the sentence.

Zhou Xian could see from Shen Rui's attitude towards him today that Shen Rui took the hatred of Shen Zhou's two families to heart.

This relative of his family is now completely rootless, and if anyone keeps talking in the emperor's ear, it will accumulate and destroy the bones, and it will eventually become a disaster.

The housekeeper smacked his lips and said: "The old slave said something inappropriate, if nothing happened to that son, this heir is just a country boy now, where will there be a Shangshu father, and where can he come to such a good family affair as the Yang family." ”

Zhou Xian glanced at the housekeeper coldly and said, "With the vision of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, if he thinks like this, he will not be able to become an heir." ”

The housekeeper was sneering and didn't dare to say it again.

The staff said: "What does the master think is that the water will lead to disaster? Hearing that Shen Zhou lost his official position and went to work, Qiao's family also pushed it. Well, Qiao's family is seriously ill, and Shen Zhou ignores his wife and accepts a noble concubine, which is the Shen family's unreasonableness, but if the Shen family learns that the only bloodline is cut off because of the Qiao family......"

There was a thick sarcastic look on his face.

The housekeeper looked at Zhou Xian's face and said carefully: "The old slave is going to tell the heir?" ”

Zhou Xian's face changed cloudy, and he said coldly for a while: "No, wait a little longer." When Shen Zhou returned to Beijing, he would tell the uncle and nephew about it. ”

*

British Mansion, East Road Main Courtyard

Now the Zhang family lives in one place, that is, the British Mansion occupies a large area, but not every descendant can get an independent yard.

Zhang Lun, as the eldest grandson, was asked to be crowned a grandson, and the Zhang family vacated the courtyard of East Road, and Zhang Lun lived in the main courtyard of East Road after becoming a parent.

And Zhang Hui also got a two-entry independent courtyard on East Road, and he was already envious of his cousins.

Zhang Huicai turned around and entered the East Road, and there was already a small servant around Zhang Lun waiting there, greeted him with a smile, and saluted: "Second master, uncle invites the second master to go to the study for dinner." ”

Zhang Hui smiled and said, "Big brother has come back from the camp?" But what did my sister-in-law do to eat? As he spoke, he casually pulled off his purse and threw it to the little guy as a reward.

The little guy hurriedly caught it, flattered Zhang Hui with a smile, and reported a string of dish names with a very slippery mouth.

Zhang Hui laughed and followed him all the way to the study.

Open the door, the warm wind swept the smell of meat, Zhang Hui raised his nose and smelled it, couldn't help but move his index finger, smiled and sat down at the table, picked up the bowl and picked up the chopsticks, Baba waited for Zhang Lun to move the first chopsticks, this is the rule of the Zhang family, the elders or the elders of the same generation do not move the chopsticks, and the younger generations are not allowed to move.

Zhang Lun sneered, picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and put it on the plate, and Zhang Hui was already happily eating it.

The little guy warmed up and poured the wine, the brothers pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and they didn't pay attention to the rule of eating without saying anything, Zhang Lun said bluntly: "Are you going out with Xiao Liu's father-in-law and Shen Rui today?" The emperor's errand? ”

Zhang Hui had a bone in his mouth and said vaguely: "Father-in-law Liu is quite important now, and he has an old relationship with Shen Rui, and the emperor handed over the matter of Xiyuan's work-for-relief to him." ”

Zhang Lun said: "If he doesn't have the ability, it won't be his turn to come to the saint." But that Shen Rui, how can he have an old relationship with him? ”

Zhang Hui told him about the relationship between Shen Rui and Liu Zhong, Zhang Lun was silent for a moment, and said, "So you ordered Du Laoba to help the Shen family?" ”

Zhang Hui hurriedly said: "It's not, it's Du Laoba, who was found by one of Shen Rui's clan uncles." On that day, the emperor rose up and left the palace to go to Zhuangzi outside Shen Rui's house, and we happened to meet them. ”

Zhang Lun snorted, and stroked his chopsticks lightly or heavily, "Didn't you tell Du Laoba to help carefully?" Lao Du is a cunning ghost-like person, can he be sent by the Shen family who has lost power to investigate the mansion of a squire who is in full swing? ”

Zhang Hui's eyebrows jumped, and then he put on a smile full of scorn, "Wronged big brother, you also know that Lao Du will listen to you, where can I send it...... Hey, brother, brother......"

Zhang Lun has already clasped Zhang Hui's wrist with one hand, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and has been tempered in the military camp for many years, his hand strength is not something that the young master soldier Zhang Hui can hold, Zhang Hui immediately retreated in defeat and begged for mercy.

"Big brother, you also know that the emperor values him. At this time, his family needs someone to pull him out, but he just has a good relationship...... "Zhang Hui has already used all his strength to resist his brother's attack, and the corners of his forehead are gradually sweating.

Zhang Lun didn't mean to let go, and said solemnly: "The emperor can imply that you helped him?" ”

“…… Never. It's me ......," Zhang Hui gritted his teeth.

Zhang Lun suddenly withdrew his strength, Zhang Hui didn't react for a while, and couldn't help shaking his body, but fortunately, he also had a kung fu foundation, and he quickly stabilized.

Zhang Lun glared at him, pointed at him and said, "You are in Jinyiwei, it's not that you don't know what case his family is involved in, but now Shen Zhou has been pulled out by the He family again, and you are reckless and involved in it." Do you think it is to ensure that he can win the emperor's favor, but how do you know that he will not get into trouble and offend the people next to him? ”

Zhang Hui hung his head and listened obediently.

The brothers grew up together, Zhang Lun knows the character of his brother best, he seems to have an excellent temper, and he is not angry or refute when he is reprimanded, but he is stubborn in his bones - accept it humbly and resolutely do not change.

Zhang Lun sighed and said: "Second brother, I know all your thoughts, but our family of military generals relies on real military merits. Don't learn from those ministers and turn those fancy intestines, just be down-to-earth and do a good job of the things that the emperor has assigned you, and don't mix anything else. Self-assertion is a big no-no. ”

Zhang Hui responded in a muffled voice, and sighed in his heart. The eldest brother is a beautiful faction, and he only speaks with military strength, but in this world, not everyone recognizes strength in everything.

The second uncle kept making small moves, for what?

Since the Ming Dynasty, there have been many things in the inheritance of this title.

The eldest brother is a grandson, but after a hundred years of grandfather, whether he can really inherit the title is still a matter of royal words.

He must keep one heart with the emperor, what the emperor likes, he has to hold, and what the emperor dislikes, he has to step on, and when the emperor is happy, he can be with him in the things he asks.

Zhang Lun looked at him for a long time, shook his head slightly, and said with chopsticks: "Eat." ”

Zhang Hui also picked up the bowl and buried his head in eating.

The joyful atmosphere of the reunion of the brothers was swept away, and only the slight sound of dishes clashing was left, which seemed more and more empty.

Zhang Lun looked at his younger brother, but thought that in two years, his younger brother would become a relative, so he would bring him to the army. It is decent to do errands in the palace, but the Zhang family is not a family of courtiers, and it is not a title that is obtained by coaxing the emperor to be happy.

Exploits in war are the foundation of the British government.

He didn't want his younger brother to follow the path of Zhenfuji in the future, because the enemies he would face on that road were no less than on the battlefield, and the dangers he faced would not be less than those on the battlefield.

Zhang Lun used the rice very quickly, put down the dishes and chopsticks and rinsed his mouth, looked at his younger brother who was still picking rice, and said, "I didn't let Du Laoba help." ”

Seeing that Zhang Hui immediately raised his head and stared at him with round eyes, Zhang Lun couldn't help but smile, and then said seriously: "But Du Laoba, that person, has ruthless ways to do things, and the Shen family is a scholar, you may not be used to it, you may have to complain if you do a good deed." This time it's just a lesson, and if you do things in the future, you have to take yourself out first! ”

Zhang Hui said with a smile: "Big brother, don't worry, I know it in my heart." Moreover, Shen Rui is not the kind of nerd you think. ”

Zhang Lun smiled silently, that is, if he was a nerd, how could he make such an eccentric person as the emperor blue-eyed.

However, the Shen family, if this heel is planted, I don't know how long it will take to recover.

I hope that the second brother didn't look away.

*

With the passage of time, everyone's speculation about the Shen family gradually faded.

When no one was paying attention, Shen Zhou returned to Beijing alone.

Entering the gate of the Shen Mansion and putting down his bag, he went directly to the ancestral hall without washing and changing his clothes, and quietly knelt in front of the parent's tablet.

(End of chapter)
