Chapter 125: Glory to the Ancestors
Zhangfu is full of lights, beaming with joy, and it is hotter than the New Year
Although Zhang Xuan has not yet returned to the house, at this moment, there is an endless stream of Tang magnates who have come to visit him, and the Zhang family is full of people. Mrs. Qiu's mother and son rushed over in advance and waited in the Zhang family's living room, accompanied by the Liu family. [Search for the latest updates..]
The series of titles and high-ranking official positions of the Auxiliary State Zhongyong Marquis, Yinqing Guanglu Doctor, General Jin Wuwei, General Yulin Wei, Commander of Qinxun Yiwei, and Yin of Jingzhao Mansion were things that the Zhang family could not think of before. But almost in a blink of an eye, the third son of his own family suddenly jumped into the dragon gate and became one of the real power factions in Chang'an City.
The Zhang family prospered again because of Zhang Xuan, and the momentum of Zhang's soaring at this moment was even better than when Zhang Jiuling was alive.
The true glory of the ancestors.
The Zhang family really raised their eyebrows.
Zhang Jiuji, Zhang Jiugao, Zhang Huan, Zhang Ning and other main figures of the Zhang family died and waited at the gate of the house. And behind them, almost all the servants and maids of the Zhangjia Mansion poured out, standing happily behind them, laughing endlessly.
Zhang Zhang waited anxiously at the entrance of the street and alley, and when he saw two teams of soldiers and a luxurious carriage coming from afar, he was overjoyed, ran back with a smoke, and shouted loudly, "The third prince has returned to the house, the third prince has returned to the house!" β
Zhang Jiuming frowned, suddenly waved his hand, turned back to look at the people of the mansion and said in a deep voice, "You need to keep in mind that from now on, the title of the third prince will be abolished, and the ceremony of paying homage to the general cannot be abolishedβ'Zizhan is now an important minister of the imperial court, and the loyal and brave marquis, the two guards and the general must not be neglected. β
"Yes." The crowd shouted together.
During the conversation, two columns of soldiers escorted a carriage and galloped up, their expressions solemn on both sides. A soldier stepped forward to lift the curtain for Zhang Xuan, and Zhou Xuchu bowed respectfully and said, "Please go back to the house!" β
Zhang Xuan, dressed in a brand-new purple official uniform and a conspicuous goldfish bag around his waist, got out of the car in a refreshed spirit and nodded slightly to Zhou Xuchu. Then he flicked his robe sleeves and turned to his family.
The person is still the same person, but the handsome and chic young man in the past, now the purple robe is more body, and there is more awe-inspiring and dignified supreme bearing, covering up Zhang Xuan's previous elegant atmosphere. This is the result of power and official position, not Zhang Xuan's pretentious posture.
At a certain level, because of power, people naturally have momentum. The so-called not being angry and self-righteous is just that.
"Two uncles, two brothers!" Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and bowed.
Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao, as well as Zhang Huan and Zhang Ning, hurriedly dodged, Zhang Jiugao laughed, "Zizhan, you are now an important minister of the imperial court, and you are a high-ranking and powerful person, but you can't afford to be the courtesy of the loyal and brave marquis and the general of the two guards!" β
"Uncle, at home, Zhang Xuan is a junior after all, the etiquette cannot be abolished, please ask my uncle to be worshiped by my nephew."
Zhang Xuan insisted on worshipping.
Zhang Jiuming was full of emotion, stepped forward and took Zhang Xuan's hand, his voice was a little choked with excitement, "Zizhan, our Zhang family is glorious because of you." Brother Yingling is not far away to comfort Jiuquan! β
Zhang Jiugao glanced back at a group of domestic servants and maidservants, and said loudly, "Don't you want to meet the loyal and brave marquis and general of the auxiliary country?" β
"Meet the General!" The servants and maidservants cried out in excitement and awe and fell to the ground.
Zhang Xuan looked at the group of house slaves with a smile, and suddenly found the figures of two little girls like smoke and jade from the crowd. The two little girls had the courage to raise their heads and cast an excited glance, but they heard Zhang Xuan laugh and said, "Everyone get up." Like smoke and jade, you two come here. β
Ruyan Ruyu was stunned, and then walked over lightly with a red face in the envious eyes of everyone, and respectfully and uprightly saluted, "Slave and maid Ruyan (Ruyu) to meet the general!" β
Zhang Xuan almost subconsciously and affectionately reached out and touched the heads of the two little girls at the same time, and said softly, "Zhou Changshi, you take my two personal maids to the mansion over there, and let them take care of them first." β
Zhang Xuan's unintentional action fell into Zhang Huan's eyes, and Zhang Huan said in his heart: It seems that these two girls should also be included in the room by the third brother in the future.
Zhou Xuchu didn't dare to slack off, bowed down and said loudly, "Huh." The subordinate officer strictly obeys the general's order. Two girls, please go with the subordinates. β
Although they were two subordinates, Zhou Xuchu didn't dare to underestimate anything. Just kidding, the personal maid next to the general will at least be a concubine in the future, and her status is not low.
Zhang Xuan didn't stay any longer, talked and laughed with Zhang Jiuming, Zhang Jiugao, Zhang Huan and Zhang Ning, and entered the mansion.
At this time, the Liu family had already accompanied Mrs. Qiuguo's mother and son to greet her.
"Mother!" Zhang Xuan settled down and bowed to the Liu family.
"Xuan'er, good boy...... Mother is proud of you. Liu Shi excitedly helped Zhang Xuan up with tears and hugged him tightly in his arms, feeling uncontrollable.
Zhang Xuan was a little embarrassed to be hugged by Liu's, and he was touched by Liu's sincere motherhood, and his heart was also warm. Soon, Liu let go of Zhang Xuan.
Third Sister Yang looked at Zhang Xuan with complicated eyes, and the tenderness flashing in her eyes was like a stream of autumn water.
Zhang Xuan suddenly felt a little ashamed in his heart. In the face of danger, although he was out of helplessness, he still did not take care of Yang Sanjie's mother and son after all.
But in front of everyone, Zhang Fat couldn't say anything, just cast a gentle glance at Yang Sanjie.
Pei Hui came over excitedly and bowed down, "Student Pei Hui, meet Mr." β
Pei Wei ...... Good. Zhang Xuan picked up Pei Hui, patted Pei Hui's shoulder vigorously, and smiled at Third Sister Yang, "Madam, please come into the hall to speak." β
Sanjie Yang resisted the urge to rush forward to cry, pursed her lips and silently turned around and walked into the hall, followed by Zhang Xuan. Pei Hui then followed, but did not enter, but just turned around and covered the door of the hall and guarded the entrance of the hall in person.
Third Sister Yang looked at Zhang Xuan stupidly, her lips trembled, and she said in a trembling voice, "The slave family thought they would never see you again......"
Zhang Huang sighed in his heart, hesitated, but stepped forward to hug Third Sister Yang in his arms, and said softly, "Third Sister, I'm sorry!" In the past few days, I've been miserable for you! β
Third Sister Yang was tightly pressed against Zhang Xuan's chest, couldn't help but burst into tears, and forcibly suppressed her desire to cry.
Pei Hui called softly outside, "Sir, mother, His Royal Highness King Sheng and Princess Xianyi ask to see him!" β
Third Sister Yang was taken aback, quickly wiped away her tears, pushed Zhang Xuan away, got up and retreated to the hall.
Zhang Xuan calmed down, got up and walked to the entrance of the hall, nodded to Pei Hui, and then pushed open the door of the hall, and saw King Sheng Li Qi and Princess Xianyi standing side by side in the courtyard, looking at this room.
When Li Qi and Xianyi saw Zhang Xuan coming out, they hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on their faces, and said, "I've seen General Zhang!" γγ
Zhang Xuan avoided to the side and bowed his hand, "Zhang Xuan doesn't dare to be, the two highnesses please come in." β
Although King Sheng and Xianyi were deprived of the titles of prince and princess, they were always the children of the emperor.
Enter the hall and sit down.
Xian Yi glanced at King Sheng. Li Qi arched his hand and smiled, "General, Sister X and Sister Xianyi heard that their father gave the Rongwang Mansion as the General's Mansion, and they came to congratulate them. A few gifts, not a tribute, but also ask the general to smile. β
As he spoke, Li Qi glanced at a house slave behind him. The slave hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully presented the gift list, Zhang Xuan smiled, did not refuse, took it and put it on the table on the side, and thanked him, "Thank you for the kindness of the two highnesses, Zhang Xuan is respectful and obedient." β
"The general is a young talent, and he is famous in Chang'an......" Princess Xianyi said a lot of compliments with a smile, and Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently to accompany him, but his left ear went in and out of his right ear, and he didn't take it to heart.
He knew in his heart that these two people must have a plan for coming to him. It should be that he was afraid that the emperor would not really let the two of them go, and wanted to let himself say a few good words in front of the emperor.
Li Qi and Xianyi sang and harmonized, and finally said their intentions in a roundabout way. Zhang Xuan was not hypocritical, and agreed straightforwardly. Although these two people are royal, they don't matter, if they know each other and no longer act as a-stirring stick in secret, Zhang Xuan will not hesitate to pull them.
Your Majesty was furious...... The two Highnesses and don't be impatient. After His Majesty's anger subsided, Zhang Xuan should make a statement to His Majesty and restore the titles of the two Highnesses. It's just that the lower official has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not. β
Seeing that Zhang Xuan agreed, Li Qi and Xian Yi glanced at each other happily, and then smiled, "General, please speak." β
"Your Royal Highness is Your Majesty's son, and he should self-denial and self-cultivation, and think that he is a model for the world. In this way, His Majesty is very fortunate, and the Tang Society is very fortunate. β
Zhang Xuan arched his hand and smiled, his words were not thorough, but also simple and short, and he talked in generalities.
But Li Qi and Xianyi are not fools, so they naturally understand what Zhang Xuan means.
The two of them turned red and let out a sigh, Xian Yi nodded silently, while Li Qi sighed, "Don't worry about the general's reminder...... A certain and Sister Xianyi made a mistake, and they regretted it. From now on, you should think about it behind closed doors and never participate in any right and wrong, so as to ensure the comfort of the rest of your life. β
"That's very good." Zhang Xuan smiled casually.
After sending Li Qi and Xianyi away, Zhang Xuan was about to return to his small courtyard and go into the house to get a good night's sleep, Zhou Xuchu's """" was updated the fastest but hurriedly walked into the house with a respectful face, and whispered a few words in Zhang Xuan's ear.
Zhang Xuan's face changed suddenly
"What's going on?"
Zhou Xuchu lowered his voice and said softly, "General Hui, the last general and Xiao Xiaowei led people to check the entire Rongwang Mansion, and under the palace of King Rong, a secret passage was discovered......"
Zhang Xuan frowned, groaned for a while, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, follow me to have a look." β
"Whoa." Zhou Xuchu bowed down to receive the order, but a strange light flashed in his eyes.
