Chapter 146 The Golden Carp Counts the Tail Play and the Three Idiots (I)
After Feng Changqing and Yan Zhenqing left, Zhang Xuan stood alone in the courtyard of the Houlu Garden, standing under the vigorous ancient locust tree, staring at the starry night sky, thinking of all kinds of past lives, and thinking of all kinds of things now, full of emotion, feeling like a dream.
Xiao Shisanlang and Li Susu walked side by side, and greeted from afar, "Brother is really good Yaxing, this cold wind is blowing, but I am watching the night scene in the courtyard!" ”
Zhang Xuan glanced back and saw Xiao Shisanlang walking over with a smile and helping Li Susu, and Li Susu's lower abdomen was slightly convex, and she was already obviously pregnant.
Zhang Xuan laughed, "Brother, my younger brother drank too much wine today, and his head was dizzy, so he just stood here blowing the wind and was sober and sober!" ”
Li Susu stepped closer, put aside Xiao Shisanlang's support, and respectfully bowed, "The slave family has seen the general!" ”
Zhang Xuan quietly avoided it and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't be like this-the wind and cold in the hospital, sister-in-law is pregnant, and please come into the hall to talk." ”
After speaking, Zhang Xuan was not polite and took the lead in entering the hall.
He knew in his heart that when Xiao Shisanlang and his family came over, they must have something to look for him, otherwise, Li Susu would definitely not come forward.
Sure enough, when he entered the hall, Xiao Shisanlang couldn't hold back, ignoring Li Susu's eyes, and said directly, "Brother, there are no outsiders at this moment, and I have something to ask for my brother." ”
Zhang Xuan smiled, "Brother, the friendship between you and my brother is important to be intimate and honest with each other, please speak up if you have something, as long as your brother can do it, he will do his best." ”
"Okay." Xiao Shisanlang's expression was slightly moved.
Although he established friendship with Zhang Xuan before Zhang Xuan started his family, with the skyrocketing of Zhang Xuan's status and power, especially Xiao Shisanlang being a lieutenant under him, whether Zhang Xuan will slowly fade this feeling, Xiao Shisanlang is actually not sure himself.
Seeing that Zhang Xuan's attitude remained the same, still as sincere as before, and not mixed with a little water, Xiao Shisanlang was greatly moved.
"Brother, it's Xiuxiu's sister's business." Xiao Shisanlang said softly.
Zhang Xuan was stunned, and his heart moved. Xindao: Could it be that it is between Li Xiuxiu and Cui Huan? During this period of time, I heard that Cui Huan often went in and out of Zhang's mansion, under the banner of visiting Mrs. Liu, in order to meet Li Xiuxiu.
After that, the two had some contacts, and they seemed to have affection for each other.
"Brother, Xiuxiu's sister is getting older now, and she has reached the age of marriage, but because the brother and wife have no foundation in Chang'an City, I want to ask my brother to come forward to choose a good mate for Xiuxiu's sister......"
Before Xiao Shisanlang's words were finished, Zhang Xuan frowned and interrupted him, "Wait, brother-Yixiuxiu's sister is not the same as Cui Huan of the Cui family?" ”
Xiao Shisanlang sighed when he heard this, but he was speechless.
Li Susu smiled reluctantly, "General, Xiuxiu is from a humble background, how can she be worthy of a young master and brother from a high-ranking family like the Cui family." But I begged the general to be the master of Xiuxiu and choose a good match, so it was good to go to the slave family. ”
Zhang Xuan sighed secretly in his heart, his heart was really like this......
He pondered for a moment and smiled softly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Xiuxiu is also the younger sister of the younger brother, Xiuxiu is filial piety in front of her mother, and her mother is very happy, and her mother has told her younger brother that day - in the future, Xiuxiu will be the fourth lady of Zhangfu. ”
Li Susu was grateful, got up and gave a blessing, "Thank you for the general's support, and the slave family will thank the general and the old lady for Xiuxiu." ”
Zhang Xuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, we are a family, if sister-in-law still sees her like this in the future, don't blame the little brother for turning her face." ”
Xiao Shisanlang coughed twice, and said with a smile, "Okay, Su'er, don't thank you anymore, just say it, Xiuxiu is now the daughter of the old lady, who dares to underestimate her?" ”
"Sister-in-law, please tell my little brother the truth...... Xiuxiu's sister and Cui Huan, do they have affection for each other? And did this matter get the opposition of the Cui family? Zhang Xuan hesitated, but asked directly.
Li Susu sighed faintly and did not answer, but his demeanor already said everything.
"Okay, sister-in-law, my little brother knows." Zhang Xuan waved his hand and said, "Men and women love, we should have put aside those worldly views, and whatever door is right, it's all nonsense!" As long as Xiuxiu's sister and Cui Huan are sincere, Zhang Xuan will definitely do her best to make this marriage. ”
"Okay, it's really a certain brother, and it's hard to be able to carry such a heart even if it is a hero in the world." Xiao Shisanlang's eyes lit up and he applauded.
Li Susu glanced at Xiao Shisanlang with disgust, shook his head and said softly, "General, Xiuxiu is shallow and ugly, and his background is humble, so he is indeed not worthy of Cui Gongzi." ”
"What origin? What kind of prince will Xiangning have? The Zhang family is now a famous family in the Tang Dynasty, but before my father and my ancestors, he was just a businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. The family is prosperous because of people, but in fact, it is worthless. Zhang Xuan waved his hand disapprovingly, "Even if you want to talk about your background, isn't this the sister of the Loyal and Yonghou of the Auxiliary State, the General of the Two Guards, and the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion worthy of a white-clothed son of the Cui family?" My Zhang Xuan's sister, who dares to underestimate it? ”
Zhang Xuan's words were arrogant, and that invisible confidence and arrogance made Xiao Shisanlang look at it and nod secretly.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about this, let me call the shots. After a few days, I asked Ying'er to go back to the Cui family to say, if it doesn't make sense, I will go to the door in person! Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, "If my sister is not worthy of the Cui family, who else is worthy of this Chang'an City?" ”
After the morning meeting on the second day, Zhang Xuan returned home and did not go to Yuzhenguan.
To expose the alchemy scam of the three idiots and thieves, he originally wanted to mobilize the people to hold an "on-site observation conference" in Yuzhenguan, so as to correct the social atmosphere in Chang'an City. But after thinking about it, he didn't think it was necessary, so he changed his mind.
It was decided to do this on a small scale, and giving Princess Wanchun an explanation was one aspect, and he also had deep considerations.
The Flower Hall in the front yard of the General.
Zhang Xuan instructed a few subordinates to put a large painted pottery pot on the ground, the basin was filled with water, the bottom of the basin was laid with a layer of smooth pebbles, and more than a dozen small red crucian carp fry taken from the release pond of Yuzhenguan were put in.
Then they were carried into a beautifully lacquered wooden frame and placed on top of it.
There are four large braziers around the flower hall, and the indoor temperature is very high, warm as spring. After a short time, the fish swim around in the basin lively.
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, and ordered his subordinates to go to the kitchen to get some Hu cakes, crushed a piece casually, and then spilled it into the basin.
More than a dozen small red fish compete for food, swimming back and forth in the basin, and some even splash softly.
A few maidservants watched curiously, there was no such concept in their cognition, and the fish raised in the pond in the river could still be kept in the pot indoors?
Ruyu naughtily tentatively put her hand into the basin, and immediately let out a soft scream, "Ah, childe, it bites the slave's finger!" ”
Ruyan also asked curiously, "Childe, can you keep fish in a pot?" ”
Zhang Xuan laughed, "It's like smoke, you can keep it." Those who are well raised can live for many years. ”
But he said in his heart that he can raise it, but he can't raise too much, like these dozens of tails are obviously too much, and he will definitely die of lack of oxygen after a long time.
In fact, Zhang Xuan originally wanted to get a few goldfish to make props, but there were no goldfish in this era, and the goldfish had to be cultivated in the Song Dynasty.
However, it's just a prop, enough to achieve the effect, so it's not so real.
"General, Her Royal Highness Princess Wanchun has arrived!" Zhang Zhang hurriedly ran in to report.
A strange smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth, he raised his hand, floated out, and went to greet Princess Wanchun in person.
All the way out of the mansion, Wan Chunzheng got out of the car and walked in with more than a dozen palace maids Yingying, while the eunuchs and guards who followed stayed outside the palace gate to stand by.
And the three idiots followed behind the palace maid with their heads held high, but when they saw Zhang Xuan's indifferent but cold gaze, he immediately lowered his head with a little weakness.
"His Royal Highness Wanchun has arrived, and the minister Zhang Xuan has missed the distance, please don't blame His Highness!" Zhang Xuan smiled and bowed.
"General Zhang, your general's mansion is not bad, fortunately in a mansion, quiet and deep, not bad, is it given to you by your father?" Wan Chun's smile was like a flower, his eyes were dripping and rolling, and he looked around with his cuffs in his arms, not caring about the dignified demeanor of any princess.
Zhang Xuan was embarrassed for a while, and said in his heart, Don't you know that this is the former Rongwang Mansion?
Thinking about it again, this old emperor has many children, adding up to nearly a hundred, and when there are more people, the feelings are weak, and it is normal for some of them not to interact with each other. Wan Chun didn't have much contact with other princes and princesses, and it was not surprising that he hadn't been to King Rong's mansion.
But Zhang Xuan couldn't explain, only laughed and didn't say anything.
Zhang Xuan accompanied Wan Chun to the flower hall in the front yard, there was a door stone in front of the flower hall, exposing the ground about three inches, Zhang Xuan wanted to let it sideways, but unexpectedly Wan Chun suddenly kept his palace skirt and jumped over lightly.
A touch of snow white blooms on the chest, the waves are undulating, and the fragrance is extremely beautiful.
Zhang Xuan glanced at it subconsciously, but immediately turned his head away.
Wan Chun stroked his chest and suddenly blushed, turned around and glared at Zhang Xuan fiercely.
Entering the hall, Wan Chun looked at the furnishings in the hall for a while, and a pair of big eyes fell on the painted pottery pot that contained more than a dozen golden crucian carp fry, paused curiously, and then ran away with a smoke, leaned over to take a look, and said happily, "Ah, Zhang Xuan, you actually raise fish in a basin, this, this fish can be raised in a pot?" ”
"Yes, Your Highness. It's just that when the fry is big, it must be released, and then replaced with small fry. Zhang Xuan walked over and said with a smile.
"When raising fish in a pot, the water should be changed frequently, generally once every three days, and the same kind of water should be used; The feeding should be small, and a small amount of feeding once every two days is enough. ”
Zhang Xuan said casually.
Wan Chun blinked his eyes and listened attentively to Zhang Xuan's words, obviously very interested in raising fish in this pot.
"Okay, there is a golden carp in the release pond in the palace, and I will go back and get a clay pot to raise fish - he is really the first genius in Chang'an, and such elegant things can also be imagined...... Okay, for the sake of raising fish in this pot, you just can't get the evidence that the pill is poisonous today, and I won't care about you. ”
Wan Chun grinned, and immediately looked down at the red carp swimming in the basin, and had already put aside the purpose of leaving the palace this time.
