After talking about making money, Zhu Qizhen asked about weapons and training soldiers, and Zhang Ning was confident and answered fluently.

The monarch talked about it, and before he knew it, it was past noon, and Zhu Qizhen was a little hungry, so he instructed Jia Xiaosi: "Pass the meal." Qing accompanied me to dinner. ”

The last sentence was said to Zhang Ning.

"Yes." Zhang Ning was called up by Liu Nian early in the morning, hurriedly ate breakfast and rushed to see the list, and fought with the Xungui disciples again.

Soon, Jia Xiaoer reported that lunch was ready. Mayor Zhu Qi got up with a smile: "Let's go." ”

The imperial meal is placed in the Qin'an Hall in the Imperial Garden.

Zhang Ning was stunned by the scene in front of him when he entered the door, a large rectangular table, full of vegetables, and two smaller but much larger than the normal round table, a table of snacks and a table of melons and fruits, and finally a normal round table with several dishes and a pair of dishes and chopsticks.

Zhu Qizhen sat down on the first and only official hat chair on the large rectangular table, and said, "Qing also sit." ”

Where to sit? Zhang Ning's eyes moved away from the dish, turned around, and saw the chair next to the normal round table, that was his seat? His eyes touched Jia Xiaosi's in the air, and he was sure that it was right, there were only a few dishes on his table.

As soon as he sat down, he heard Zhu Qizhen say: "This, this, this, this, reward Zhang Qing." ”

In my previous life, I watched a braided drama, and it was a supreme honor for the emperor to give food, and the minister had to stand up and thank him. Zhang Ning saluted and said, "Your Majesty." ”

The little eunuch who was waiting beside him brought four dishes and placed them on the round table.

The two silently finished their meal, ate melons and fruits, and drank tea, Zhu Qizhen continued to talk, but the topic turned to Youyou: "Qing has passed the proofreading, so I have to ask the media to ask the county lord for marriage?" ”

Why do I think you have a playful look on your face? Also, should you bring me the gold? Zhang Ning was silent and said seriously: "The minister wants to invite the British public to be the matchmaker." ”

"Hahaha, I heard that you and Zhang Qingsan high-fived?" Zhu Qizhen laughed.

Jia Xiaosi reminded me, you hinted at it, right? Zhang Ning seemed to have an understanding and said, "Yes." The British recognized ministers will definitely not be on the list, saying that if the ministers are not on the list, they will be grounded for three years. ”

"Zhang Qing came forward, maybe the Empress Dowager agreed." Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "You are already the chief flag officer, and you are not an insult to the county lord." ”

It's just not humiliating, it's still a little bit short of being worthy.

After laughing for a while, Zhu Qizhen yawned and said, "Tomorrow, the holy decree and the golden belt given by the emperor will be delivered to the mansion, you can wait in the mansion." ”

Zhang Ning understands that there is still a process to follow.

Having said this, Zhu Qizhen was a little embarrassed, and Zhang Ning said goodbye to the palace.

He and Liu Nian closed the carriage and said a few words, and when the carriage left Donghua Gate, Zhang Ning went through what happened today, focusing on the sons of Xungui and Zhu Qizhen, first, to confirm that there was nothing wrong; The second is to make sure that he is not wearing a jade pendant, and he can cope with emergencies.

The jade pendant can only be worn for a quarter of an hour, and if it is more than a quarter of an hour, it will turn to bad luck, if it is at a critical juncture, bad luck is coming, it is better not to wear it.

Looking at the list today, he didn't expect that he was the only one on the list, and he didn't expect that the Xungui disciples were first angry, and then they had the intention of fighting, so they didn't wear jade pendants before going out. Fortunately, he didn't wear a jade pendant, otherwise after turning his bad luck, I am afraid that he would not be able to wait for Jia Xiaosi to come over to announce the message, and the sons of Xungui would do it.

There are more than 400 people, as long as half of them participate, he and Liu Nian will be seriously injured even if they don't die. He didn't want to be bedridden for a year and a half, and when he was able to get out of bed, Yoyo was forced to marry someone else.

When you enter the palace and are on duty, you face more emergencies, how can you wear a jade pendant when you need it without being noticed?

Liu Nian didn't say anything with a very good look, but he looked curious, not everyone can see the face of the sky, not to mention that Zhang Ning chatted with the emperor for a long time and got food from the emperor, but he was still hungry.

…………

Gu Xingzu, Marquis of Zhenyuan, sighed silently and put down the blank paper in his hand. It was obtained by him through a secret channel, a handwritten copy of Zhang Ning's volume.

I really didn't expect that the emperor would want to levy Warat. At the end of the battle, his old bones had to fight again.

By dusk, anyone who had some means either saw Zhang Ning's scroll or knew the content of the scroll. The nobles fell silent.

There is only one volume that is in line with the emperor's wishes, and if the emperor does not order this volume, whose volume will he order?

It's not wrong that his own nephews are not on the list.

…………

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Zhang Fu put down the official document, rubbed his somewhat tired eyes, and said, "Take out the volume?" ”

Without his approval, how could the nobles get the handwritten copies of the test papers?

"Take it out." The scribe smiled: "The lower official copied it by himself." ”

Zhang Fu bowed slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

…………

Anxiangbo's Mansion was boiling. Lao Guan smiled and squinted, and after a while, he called out to the servants not to be lazy, wipe the inside and out, and wipe all the leaves of the flowers and trees; After a while, let the comprador servant buy more meat and vegetables; After a while, let the tent write more posts, so that the guests can be feasted after the little master.

He was busy going in and out, and the servants of the palace were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground.

Zhang Ning and Liu Nian stepped out of the carriage one after the other, followed by Ren Rong and Gao who could only giggle with a big mouth, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw the old gardener set up a ladder, climbed on the trunk of the cypress tree, and wiped the leaves of the cypress tree in a thrilling way.

"Help the old gardener down." Zhang Ning was busy saying to Ren Rong, the old man is so old, what should he do if he falls?

Ren Rong climbed the trunk of the cypress tree, grabbed the old gardener with one hand, and carried him down.

The old gardener persuaded Ren Rong to put him down, but before he finished speaking, he saw the little master standing in the yard, he was overjoyed, and shouted loudly: "The son is back!" ”

The servants poured out and talked about what Zhang Ning was talking about, where could Zhang Ning hear it clearly?

"Alright, let's all go to work." Lao Guan drove the servants away, stepped forward by himself, held Zhang Ning's arm and stared for a long time, and said happily and emotionally: "Son, write a letter to tell the master." ”

There is a successor to Uncle Anxiang's Mansion, and the lord must be happy.

"Okay." Zhang Ning said: "Uncle Guan, tell the kitchen to clean up the wine and food, and I will accompany Ah Nian to drink two glasses." ”

Liu Nian is still hungry, so he has to fill his stomach first.

The wine and food were served, the two sat opposite each other, Zhang Ning filled the glass in front of the two of them, and said, "Ah Nian, what are your plans?" "You can't fight every day, can you?

"I'll go to school tomorrow on the clan's private mat." On the carriage back home, Zhang Ning was busy summing up, and Liu Nian was not idle, he had already thought about it. Zhang Ning has already been admitted, and he can't fall too far behind.

It's good to read more books and you can help me later. Zhang Ning naturally would not object.

After drinking two cups with him, Zhang Ning no longer moved his chopsticks, and Liu Nian ate all the dishes.

Sending Liu Nian away, Zhang Ning went to the study to write a letter to Daniel Zhang to report the good news, and while he took up the pen to write, he thought, I wonder how Daniel Zhang would feel when he received the letter?
