"Yes, gift-giving." Liu Yong said with a smile.

"But where is the gift?" Zhang asked puzzled.

"Sister, just say that. The younger brother will do the rest. Liu Yong said with a smile.

Zhang Xixi took a little bit of Liu Yong's head and said, "You have a lot of ghost ideas." I'll let Zi'er report first. ”

Zi'er went into the house to report in response, and came out after a short time, followed by a small servant.

"My father-in-law, please take pity on Miss." The little guy stood in front of the car and bent down and said.

"Let's go, brother, let's give a gift to Master Zhang." Zhang Xixi quipped. Liu Yong smiled, and then helped Zhang Xixi's soft and boneless men to get out of the carriage. The little guy hurriedly led him to the house.

Su Erniang and Zi'er followed.

Zhang Dujian's house is a large mansion with four entrances, and the second entrance is actually a large garden, with passages on both sides.

Behind the garden is the main house, and in the middle is the hall, which is specially used to receive guests.

When he arrived at the door, Zhang Dujian happily greeted him and smiled directly at Zhang Xixi: "Ah, Miss Xixi is here, Zhang has missed the welcome, I hope to forgive me." ”

"Lord Zhang is polite, the slave is just a dusty woman, how dare you let the adult welcome you from afar." Zhang Xixi's words are always a little thorny. But it's this that makes her beauty even higher. Aren't all pretty women prickly when they speak? Actually, that's not called a thorn, that's called coldness.

Zhang Dujian was immediately stabbed and laughed, and hurriedly introduced it into the hall.

entered the hall, personally supported Zhang Xixi to sit in the seat of the host and guest, and took off the veil by the way. He greeted Liu Yong again: "Brother Liu, don't come to harm?" "By the way, I will give my hand.

"Thanks to the blessing of the adults, I will return it." Liu Yong returned the salute.

"Brother Liu, Zhang is admiring the wine that day, since we are here today, then we might as well compare and contrast again." Zhang Dujian motioned for Liu Yong to sit down.

"How dare you disobey the invitation of your lordship!" Liu Yong smiled and sat down under Zhang Xixi.

"Haha, Brother Liu is refreshing. Zhang likes your temperament. Zhang Dujian smiled and asked, "I don't know who this lady is?" Looking at Su Erniang.

"Oh, this Miss Su is a friend of the next." Liu Yong introduced.

Zhang Dujian hurriedly said: "Then since we are friends, Miss Su, please take a seat." ”

Su Erniang sat down at the bottom of Liu Yong. Zi'er stood beside Zhang Xixi.

Zhang Dujian shouted: "Look at the tea." "Three maids brought tea.

"Tea, please." Zhang Dujian waved his hand.

Liu Yong, Zhang Xixi, and Su Erniang all took a symbolic sip. Zhang Dujian accompanied him to take a sip, and muttered in his heart while drinking: "It's the first time that this Zhang Xixi has gone to the house in person, right?" She definitely didn't come for me, but for Liu Yong, a kid. It's likely that something is begging me. That's good, as long as she has something to ask for, that pity will be ......, haha. He felt happy in his heart and thought that this was a great opportunity to possess Zhang Xixi.

When he put down the tea bowl, he thought, "Oh, no." I once promised Liu Yong, this kid, to do one thing. secretly said that Zhang regretted that she shouldn't come? Hey, no matter what, just ask. ”

"Ah, it's a pity that Miss can come to the humble house today, so that the house will shine." Zhang Dujian said a cliché of praise.

"Where, Lord Zhang's mansion is already shining, and using slaves to live?" Zhang Xixi said with a smile.

"Hahaha, Miss Xi is really good at laughing. In this way, I, Zhang, am a cheerful person, and Miss Xixi will say that there is something wrong. Zhang knows that Miss Xixi does not go out easily. I won't go to outsiders' homes as guests. "Zhang Dujian is indeed bold.

"Master Zhang knows slaves very well." Zhang Xixi said with a smile.

"That is, besides, with your reputation in Meizhou City, who doesn't know your principles? It's a pity that Miss broke your rules today for my Zhang! Zhang Dujian said, looking at Zhang Xixi with his eyes slanted, his mouth was wide open, and he looked very funny.

Zhang Xixi smiled slightly, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and everyone was as elegant as a lady.

"Today, the slave is here to give a gift to Lord Zhang." Zhang Xixi said what he meant. However, this intention surprised Zhang Dujian. Secretly said: "Didn't you come to ask me to do something?" Why did it change to gift-giving? Then he looked around, and there was nothing but the four people who came, "Where is this gift?" His skull was spinning rapidly, still puzzled.

"Haha, Miss Xixi said to give me a gift to Zhang, where is the gift?" Zhang Dujian asked directly.

"Is this a gift...... Zhang Xixi looked at Liu Yong.

Liu Yong hurriedly took it and said, "Oh, Lord Zhang, the gift that my sister said was given below. ”

Zhang Dujian's two thick eyebrows gathered together and said, "Oh? For no reason, why did Brother Liu give a gift to Zhang? He said on his lips, but in his heart he guessed what the gift Liu Yong was talking about.

Liu Yong said with a smile: "I and Master Zhang are also sorry at the wine table." Lord Zhang's boldness is really admirable. Moreover, the adults are good friends of my sister. If I give this gift to someone else, my sister won't let me. So who else can you give this gift to adults if you don't give it to adults? ”

Zhang Xixi listened to Liu Yong's long face for her, and she was very grateful.

"That's right." Zhang Dujian nodded, "However, the gift is too heavy for me to accept." The laws of this court were also very strict with the officials. You can't just take bribes. He closed the door first, and after a while, if it was a gift that he couldn't accept, he would have a staircase down.

"Lord Zhang has thought about it a lot, and the gifts given here can't help but not tarnish Lord Zhang's integrity, and it will be beneficial to Lord Zhang!" Liu Yong said lightly.

"Really? Then Zhang wants to see Brother Liu's gift. Zhang Dujian said.

"Okay, but I'll ask Mr. Zhang a few questions first." Liu Yong said with a smile.

"Brother Liu, just ask." Zhang Dujian waved his hand, looking not afraid of the comer.

Liu Yong took a sip of tea unhurriedly before asking, "May I ask what troubles have you been having lately?" I mean on official business. ”

Zhang Dujian narrowed his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "Why is he asking this?" Can he solve my problem? Thinking of this, my heart moved, and I told the truth directly.

"Don't hide it from Brother Liu, Zhang has really encountered difficulties recently." Zhang Dujian was a little depressed.

"What's so difficult, might as well talk about it." Liu Yong said.

Zhang Dujian nodded, took a sip of tea, and said, "Brother Liu, do you know that the border has been tight recently?" ”

"I've heard a little, but what does this have to do with you, Lord Zhang?" Liu Yong had already inquired about the situation of the border war on the road. Now that Song and Jin are at war, the war has stretched almost to the entire border.

"Hey!" Zhang Dujian sighed, "General Zhang at the Lizhou border pass has asked Lord Wang to prepare a war horse for the transfer of Chengdu Fu Road. I, the little Meizhou Governor, also assigned a task. At least 200 horses, the more the merrier, and the need is still very urgent. Brother Liu, Zhang is really embarrassed! ”
