Zhu Qizhen looked up at the thin clouds in the sky, not knowing what to think. Zhang Ning intuitively felt that he had said the wrong thing, but after thinking about it, he didn't know where he said it wrong. Is it wrong to show loyalty to the emperor? It shouldn't be.

Youyou instructed the maidservant to bring a chair for Zhang Ning, put it in a place about a foot below the courtyard, and said, "Zhang Gongzi, please sit." "There are not many people who can make the emperor laugh, but he still has some skills.

Zhang Ning sat down with a golden knife and said, "Why are there no tea and snacks?" ”

There is a small round table under the corridor, and the eight-colored delicate snacks on the table make people drool, why doesn't he have it?

"Hahaha." Zhu Qizhen laughed out loud and said, "He is the one who refuses to suffer." The first time I met him, he was fighting a duel, if you don't give him two plates of snacks to eat, I'm afraid it's going to be a mess. ”

He could easily make the emperor laugh with a casual word. Yoyo's eyes rolled slightly, and he nodded to the maidservant. Soon, the two servants carried a round table and placed it in front of Zhang Ning, and a maidservant girl carried a vermilion lacquer tray with four kinds of snacks on it.

The four kinds of dim sum are dripping puffy snails, ghee muffins, and fried pork ribs, and the last one surprised Zhang Ning, thinking that it was back to modern times, but it was beef candy.

Zhang Ning liked to eat beef candy when he was a child, until he was in junior high school, and he was busy playing games in his spare time, so he slowly forgot about Niu Candy. Now when I see the neatly stacked beef candy on the plate, it immediately reminds me of my childhood.

I haven't eaten it in years.

He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and a faint scent of osmanthus mixed with a hint of sweetness filled his mouth. There is a big difference between the taste of the cow candy in the county lord's mansion and the beef candy in the modern supermarket, and the supermarket does not add osmanthus juice.

Osmanthus flavored beef za sugar or osmanthus za tang? Zhang Ning shook his head, took a piece of crispy puff snail and put it in his mouth, not to mention, it was crispy and fragrant, with a strong milk flavor, it was much more delicious than modern puffs.

Zhang Ning ate two pieces in one go, took a sip of tea to get tired, estimated that a quarter of an hour was almost up, took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped his hands, covered his waist with his left sleeve, and quickly untied the jade pendant with his right hand and put it into his sleeve. I don't know if it will continue to work in the sleeve, do you want to put it in the box in front of Yoyo and the emperor?

Although Zhang Ning moved fast, where did he escape the eyes of the two brothers and sisters under the corridor? The two of them looked at him with interest with four eyes, and when they saw that no one was eating beside him, they suddenly took off the jade pendant, and they were all puzzled.

Seeing him sneakily glance at him again, he took out a small box that could be held in the palm of his hand from his arms, put the jade pendant away, and put it back in his arms, Zhu Qizhen only felt very interesting, and said with a smile: "What kind of treasure is that?" "You need to be so sneaky.

"Huh?" Zhang Ning was startled, hurriedly got up and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, this jade pendant is something that the ancestor of the minister carries with him. At the moment of this delicacy, the minister forgot for a while, so he had to put it up in order not to blaspheme the ancestors. ”

Zhang Ning's handsome face turned red, not pretending, but in a hurry, good things have to be presented to the emperor, in case Zhu Qizhen wants to see it, and he likes it after seeing it, will he give it himself or not? If it's just an ordinary jade pendant, this jade pendant carries his hope of going home, how can it be given to him?

“…… Do you often forget the box you carry with you? You couldn't help but smile. He's got a lot going on.

Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "The county lord is right, do you often forget?" "Look at you sneaky, and you are so skillful in your movements, I'm afraid you often do so.

"Minister......" Zhang Ning lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Sit down. I'll let you eat enough. Zhu Qizhen laughed heartily.

Youyou cooperated and ordered the maid to serve snacks again, and plates of snacks filled the round table.

Finally diverted the attention of the two. Zhang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and showed a shy smile, Xie En sat down and ate unceremoniously, tasting every snack, eating two more pieces of delicious food, but not eating them all.

Yoyo's eyes widened. She has been in Beijing for half a year, and she has never seen such a profligate wreck in front of the emperor. What a pout.

Zhu Qizhen looked at it with a smile, waited for Zhang Ning to put down his chopsticks and drink tea, and said, "Yoyo and food, which one do you choose?" ”

Forget the ancestors for a bite to eat, what is not a foodie? Youyou understood that Zhu Qizhen was playing tricks on him, and smiled with crooked eyebrows.

This problem is related to the mother and wife falling into the water at the same time, and the mother or wife has to fight first. After Zhang Ning finished complaining, he took a few breaths and said seriously: "The minister never forgets the county lord, and after the county lord passes the door, he should honor the ancestors with the minister." ”

"What a clever mouth." Zhu Qizhen pointed at Zhang Ning with a smile and said, "I can't see that Zhang Qing gave birth to a son who can talk so well." ”

Yoyo was annoyed and said, "Who passed the door?" ”

"You." Zhang Ning said: "I passed the review and immediately wrote to my father, asking him to ask the matchmaker to ask for marriage. At that time, we will be a pair of good and grow old together. ”

"Nonsense." Yoyo said angrily. When I came to the girl's house, she was soft-skinned, and when she talked about family affairs, she had to make a fuss; Second, Daniel Zhang is only an earl, and he is not enough to see in front of the duke, even if Zhang Ning passes the proofreading, the family lineage is still not enough, and it is impossible for the empress dowager and his father to allow this family business.

Zhang Ning said: "It's too early to say these things at this time, and it's not too late for me to pass the proofreading." ”

"I'm very confident." Zhu Qizhen smiled: "It's not early, it's time for me to go back to the palace." "Meeting such an interesting boy is much happier than watching singing and dancing in the palace.

"Brother Huang is going back to the palace?" You got up and said.

Zhang Ning got up at the same time, his hands drooping, and made a gesture of sending off the emperor. Don't look at him talking freely in front of Zhu Qizhen, eating and drinking, in fact, the coercion of the superior made him almost out of breath, but he just held on to it in order to go out leisurely.

When Zhu Qizhen passed in front of Zhang Ning, he said to Youyou, who was following behind: "This kid is very interesting, he has nothing to do in his daily life, you might as well let him enter the mansion to talk." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Ning saluted and thanked him, with Zhu Qizhen's words, it is very possible for him to see Youyou.

Youyou glanced at him and said to Zhu Qizhen: "Imperial brother Mingjian, if he is rude, the courtiers will beat him out." ”

"Whatever you want." After Zhu Qizhen finished speaking, he walked away.

Zhang Ning and Youyou sent to the door of the house, Zhang Ning wanted to say something, Youyou turned around and left, and before entering the door, he ordered the old servant: "Luluo comes back and asks her to come to see me immediately." ”

"Yoyo, I have something to tell you." Zhang Ning has no chance to create opportunities, not to mention that the opportunity is in front of him? I refuse to let go.

Youyou's voice came from afar: "I'll talk about it later." ”

Is this the next time to make an appointment? Zhang Ning muttered in a low voice and said, "You can't break your word." ”

The old servant came over with a strange look and chased away the guest: "Mr. Zhang, please take it." ”

Great progress has been made today, not only confirming the identities of the two people, but also getting the opportunity to enter the Anding County Lord's Mansion in the future, which can be regarded as a rich collection. Zhang Ning summarized while walking in the direction of Lingjing Hutong.
