Chapter 003 - Born in a Famous Family (3)

"Mother."

Liu was in a state of panic and trouble, but a soft and deep voice came from his ears. She glanced down and saw her only biological son, Zhang Xuan, standing in front of her, bowing down to her.

"Xuan'er." Liu's eyes immediately softened, but at the same time, he was slightly surprised: "Why has this kid become polite today, and he didn't have so much courtesy when he saw himself in the past." ”

Compared with Zhang Huan and Zhang Ning, Zhang Xuan can only be regarded as an unfilial son and a prodigal son. Zhang Jiuling's generation of good ministers did not inherit the slightest bit of good character, but they didn't know where to learn the bad habits.

But no matter how angry he is, he is also his own flesh and blood, and he is the support of his retirement in the second half of his life, and others don't want to see Zhang Xuan - how could the Liu family not be welcome?

"Xuan'er. Something happened to your brother, and it's fine. Don't worry, go back to your room and rest, and your mother will come to see you later. Liu's eyes were full of indulgence, and he reached out softly and grabbed Zhang Xuan's hand and stroked it gently.

"Xuan'er, your bones will be weak when you hit a small body, listen to your mother's words, go back and take a nap to recuperate, and your mother will let the kitchen boil bird's nest lotus seed soup for you."

After all, Zhang Xuan's young man's body contained a mature soul through the body, and his psychological age was not much worse than that of the Liu family, so the embarrassment in his heart could be imagined if a woman stroked her hand like a child sleeping.

But Liu's heartfelt love and motherhood are not mixed with the slightest falsehood. Zhang Xuan had a trace of emotion in his heart, and a trace of inexplicable long-lost emotion.

"Mother." Zhang Xuan shouted again, taking the opportunity to gently break free from Liu's hand, and an embarrassed red appeared on her delicate face.

Liu looked at him lovingly, and then said in a deep voice to the two maids behind Zhang Xuan, "Like smoke and jade, why don't you wait for the third prince to go back to the room to rest?" ”

Even though the Liu family licks the calf and dotes on this son very much, they also know that at the critical moment of the current family crisis, letting Zhang Xuan stay in the front yard can only add to the chaos, and it will also add to everyone's hearts. It is better to send him back to his room, lest anything happen again.

You must know that Zhang Jiuling's two younger brothers, Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao, are about to come over to discuss matters, and these two elders of the Zhang family are very unaccustomed to Zhang Xuan, the prodigal nephew who humiliates the entire Zhang family.

"Yes, old lady." Ruyan and Ruyu hurriedly responded, Ruyan stepped forward and timidly pulled Zhang Xuan's clothes, and whispered, "Third son, slave and maid accompany the third son back to the room......"

Zhang Xuan shook his head and said softly and resolutely, "No, mother, I won't go back." The elder brother's crime this time is serious, and a catastrophe is coming, which is bound to affect the whole family, and the son can't stay in the backyard. ”

"Mother, brother...... Why? How could he have fallen into such a grave sin and angered the Holy One? Zhang Xuan immediately asked tentatively.

"My mother didn't know that it happened suddenly, and disaster fell from the sky, it was really a sin......"

Liu Shi looked at Zhang Xuan helplessly, frowned and sighed, "Xuan'er, you can't control this matter...... With your mother and your two uncles and second brother in charge, it's not in the way. Go back to your room—obediently, well. ”

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

He knew in his heart that not to look at the arrogant and happy person who possessed his body, in fact, he had no status in the Zhang family at all, let alone any right to speak. Even if it is the mother in front of him, she dotes on him and connives, but she also knows that her son can't do serious things.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Xuan no longer insisted. Even if he insists, I'm afraid he won't be able to enter the Zhang family's meeting hall and discuss with the elders of the Zhang family how to deal with the crisis.

But Zhang Xuan can't ignore this matter.

Because of the sudden advent of this crisis, the distance between him, a traverser, and the entire Zhang family was suddenly shortened, and the sense of belonging to the family, which took months or even years to get used to, was gradually born.

Helplessly, one is prosperous and one is lost, and the Zhang family is down, and he will be finished. It is a matter of future and destiny, and he cannot be allowed to slack off.

"Mother, the son went out for a walk." Zhang Xuan smiled reluctantly and no longer insisted.

He bowed to the Liu family again, then turned around and walked out, and at the same time beckoned to a young servant standing not far away, "Tension, prepare the car, I want to go out of the house to visit friends." ”

Fang Cai Liu also felt that Zhang Xuan had changed a little, but now it seems that this is just an illusion. It's come to this time, and I'm still not sensible, so I still have to go out-

Liu's brows furrowed, looking at Zhang Xuan's back gradually walking, he opened his mouth and hesitated, but he still helplessly lowered his hand and looked away, but his heart was faint and bitter beyond words, "My good son, when will you grow up and grow up, and stop letting your mother be so worried?" ”

Some of the servants and maids of the Zhang family didn't dare to say anything, they hung their heads and kept silent, and they were really angry in their hearts. The Zhang family's catastrophe is coming, and this prodigal son has to go out to "visit friends" and fool around, which is simply justified.

Zhang Zhang drove the car, and Zhang Xuan sat in the carriage and went out of the house. Although the carriage of this official eunuch was already quite a luxurious and advanced means of transportation in this prosperous Tang Dynasty, he was still a little uncomfortable to sit on.

Pedestrians come and go, and all kinds of shops, liquor shops, and inns on both sides of the market are one after another, and all kinds of signboards are hanging high, making people dazzled. The prosperity, breadth of area, and dense population of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty exceeded Zhang Xuan's imagination.

The residents of Chang'an with red faces, the scholars who floated by with hairpins and fragrant flowers on their heads, or the peddlers and pawns who pushed carts or carried baskets on their shoulders to sell along the streets, the exotic merchants dressed in Hu clothes, the women who were extremely revealing in their clothes, the plump bodies and the faces of the women with a hint of spring, and occasionally a few monks with solemn appearances...... The unfamiliar faces were clearly enlarged and flashed in front of Zhang Xuan's eyes, but he really didn't have the mood of amazement and lingering at the moment.

In the historical information he has, there is almost a blank about Zhang Jiuling's family descendants, and the historian does not record the reproduction and changes of Zhang Jiuling's descendants in detail. Probably because the Zhang family slowly declined after Zhang Jiuling's death.

At the moment of crisis, he felt that he had to figure out the causes and consequences of Zhang Huan's crime and the ins and outs of the crime before making a plan.

So he "remembered" those fox friends and dog friends, including Xu Wenbin, the second son of Xu Qiao, the current Dali Temple. This Xu Wenbin is probably the same as the previous Zhang Xuan, and the two smell like each other, and they are often "confidants".

Dali Temple is in charge of the prison, Zhang Huan is now in Dali Temple, as the son of the highest governor of Dali Temple, Xu Wenbin will definitely know some inside information. Let's see if we can catch Xu Qiao through Xu Wenbin's line, even if it is to make some money and wealth, we must help Zhang Huan get rid of his crimes. The worst of all, don't hurt the whole family, right?

But...... The people who come and go are all gentlemen, will they be reliable? Zhang Xuan sighed in his heart.
