Chapter 069: Yang Yuhuan's Hidden Worries and Li Longji's Temptation (Medium)

Seeing Zhang Xuan slowly walking into the hall, Zhang Jiuming smiled, waved his hand and said, "Xuan'er, come quickly, sit down and talk." ”

Zhang Jiugao also smiled and nodded to Zhang Xuan.

Cui Huan slowly got up and waved his hand with a smile, "Third brother, come, sit." ”

Cui Huan, as the eldest brother, treated Zhang Xuan so politely at this moment, Zhang Ning had no choice but to stand up, but unlike Cui Huan, the smile on his face was very reluctant.

Zhang Xuan suddenly changed from a prodigal to a peerless talent, and he rose to the top step by step, which made the jealous Zhang Ning feel uncomfortable. To be honest, he still can't accept it, a garbage in his eyes in the past, has ascended to the hall of elegance in such a grand manner, and it also occupies a relatively high height, which makes him unreachable.

Although they are half-brothers, because the relationship has not been "friendly" for a long time, the family affection between the two is quite weak.

Zhang Xuan smiled, first bowed down to greet Zhang Jiuming, Zhang Jiugao and Liu, and then bowed to Zhang Huan and Zhang Ning, "I've seen two brothers." ”

Zhang Huan grabbed Zhang Xuan's hand affectionately, but when he turned around, he inadvertently found a very awkward look on Zhang Ning's face, and frowned secretly, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Ning's temperament, Zhang Huan, as an elder brother, knows it very well. Zhang Ning has no other problems, but he is narrow-minded and more scathing. Zhang Xuan suddenly changed from a prodigal son who harmed the family to the "pillar" of the Zhang family, and he still couldn't turn a corner for a while.

In private, Zhang Huan has already talked openly and honestly with Zhang Ning twice. The words are very clear, no matter what, the three of them are brothers of flesh and blood, and brothers must unite as one, which is a premise and foundation. If there is disagreement between the brothers, how can the Zhang family restore its former glory in the future?

In fact, in Zhang Huan's view, some things have been put on the table: Zhang Xuan was born like a star, the light is becoming more and more dazzling, and the hope of the future development and rise of the Zhang family is still pinned on him. This point, even if the servants and maids of the Zhang family can see it clearly, Zhang Huan doesn't believe that Zhang Ning, the second son, will not understand.

Fortunately, Zhang Xuan didn't care about Zhang Ning's lack of embarrassment and lukewarmness. In line with the principle of family and prosperity, Zhang Xuan maintains a respectful and distant attitude towards Zhang Ning, as long as Zhang Ning is not too excessive, he will generally take into account the overall situation to save some face for Zhang Ning.

Zhang Xuan's indifferent gaze swept over Zhang Ning's face, and slowly sat down in the position next to Zhang Huan. Before sitting down, he smiled and nodded to the two sisters-in-law of Song and Jiao.

Song doesn't need to say anything, since Zhang Huan escaped and returned home, she was grateful to Zhang Xuan for his rescue, and her attitude towards Zhang Xuan took a 180-degree turn; And Zhang Ning's wife Jiao Shi is actually also exquisite, seeing that this little uncle has a bright future in the future, and her attitude has become extremely humble and polite.

Liu didn't speak much, but his soft eyes always fell on his son, and he became more and more pleased.

Zhang Jiuming laughed loudly, "Xuan'er, this time Yang Xiang personally recommended you to join the Ministry of Rites as Langzhong, which is a great good thing." There is a fat shortage of real power in the Ministry of Rites, and many people are out of sight of it......"

"Uncle is very right. Although the rite department is only from the official rank of the fifth grade, the emphasis is on power. Located in the prominent yamen, in an important position, a certain third brother has such a high starting point, it is not impossible to worship the prime minister in the future. ”

Zhang Huan looked at Zhang Xuan with a slight distraction, and sighed in his voice, "A certain ten-year cold window, once enrolled, several years of operation, only to get a position of the prince Zanshan doctor, but unfortunately the fate was ill-fated, and he was killed by a traitor and was imprisoned. ”

"The lifeblood of my family is tied to the body of the third brother. I only hope that the third brother can cherish the opportunity and be cautious...... If you can pay homage to the prime minister in the future, the Zhang family will be honored. ”

Zhang Xuan also stared at Zhang Huan deeply, and nodded silently, "Brother and relieved." If you don't have an official position, it's not a good thing. The elder brother is temporarily at home to assist his mother in taking care of the housework, which is also a heavy responsibility. If he has the opportunity one day, he may not be able to ......"

Zhang Xuan's words were not finished, so he stopped talking, but the implication was obvious.

Zhang Jiugao suddenly interjected on the side, "Second brother, Xuan'er still has no words, right?" Now that he is about to become an official, he will not be able to form a system without a single word. It's better for the second brother to call the shots and take a table for Xuan'er. ”

Zhang Jiuming was stunned and groaned.

The name of the table is given by his father or teacher, although Zhang Xuan has long wanted to take one for himself, and then he felt that it was not in line with the rules of this era, so he gave up.

Zhang Jiuming pondered for a long time before he looked up at Zhang Xuan and said with a smile, "How about calling Zizhan?" Zizhan is mostly a famous man and a sage, Xuan'er is talented and old, and he is worthy of the word 'Zizhan'. ”

"Zhang Xuan-Zhang Zizhan ......" Zhang Jiugao whispered a few times beside him, and suddenly waved his hand to applaud, "Yes, this expression is elegant and elegant, worthy of our Xuan'er." ”

……

……

Naturally, the day was another feast to celebrate, and the Zhang family dispersed happily.

On the morning of the second day, Zhang Xuan had just returned from "exercising" outside the city when he received the news that the emperor had urgently summoned him to the palace.

Zhang Xuan hurriedly washed up and changed into a brand-new green shirt, dressed neatly, and the eunuch Li Jingzhong, who came to announce the emperor's message, was already waiting a little impatiently, although the Zhang family was respectful and waiting for tea.

Seeing Zhang Xuan come in, Li Jingzhong looked Zhang Xuan up and down a few times, got up and smiled slightly, "Zhang Gongzi, the emperor is urgently summoned, let's go to the palace quickly." ”

"Father-in-law Lao has been waiting for a long time, Zhang Xuan is embarrassed." Zhang Xuan bowed his hand.

Strictly speaking, Zhang Xuan at this moment is on the momentum, the concubine is loved by the concubine, and the emperor values it, and this time he wants to be directly appointed as an official by the grace of the saint, but Zhang Xuan not only has no arrogance, but also does not have the sour and rotten taste of ordinary scribes, which makes Li Jingzhong feel good.

Zhang Xuan took the carriage brought by Li Jingzhong, entered the palace directly, and went straight to the imperial study.

Along the way, after a few brief conversations, Zhang Xuan unexpectedly found that this person was also a well-known eunuch in power in history - Li Fuguo, the eunuch next to Tang Suzong Li Heng (now Prince Heng). Of course, this is a later story, Li Jingzhong at this moment is just a palace handyman under Gao Lishi, and he has no status at all.

However, Zhang Xuan did not underestimate this hidden eunuch because of this.

When he got out of the car, Zhang Xuan quietly pinched a silver cake of about ten taels and handed it to Li Jingzhong, and smiled lowly, "I'm tired of Father-in-law Li, don't dislike Father-in-law with a little heart." ”

Li Jingzhong was very surprised, but his expression changed a few times, and he still tacitly picked up the silver cake, but his good impression of Zhang Xuan in his heart was even heavier.

It is not new for foreign ministers to give gifts to eunuchs, but they are all powerful eunuchs like Gao Lishi, and as for low-level eunuchs like Li Jingzhong, few people care about them - receiving gifts from foreign ministers is the first time Li Jingzhong has entered the palace at the age of five, and it is destined to be extremely impressive.

When the carriage arrived at the small square outside the imperial study, Li Jingzhong jumped out of the car, picked up the curtain and smiled, but his attitude was a little more respectful, "Zhang Gongzi, please." Please get out of the car and call outside, and our family will report to General Gao. ”

"There is Father-in-law." Zhang Xuan nodded and arched his hand.
