Chapter Twenty-Six: Greeting Each Other

Zhang Tang has a more restless heart, perhaps it is more appropriate to be unwilling to be lonely.

Historically, Zhang Tang has done just that.

Zhang Tang was very cautious with high-ranking officials, and often gave their guests wine and food. For the children of old friends, whether they are officials or poor, they are especially thoughtful. Seeing the great loss of the ministers, they did not avoid the cold and heat.

Moreover, when Zhou Yang Hou Tian Sheng (Tian Wei's younger brother) was in Jiuqing, he was detained in Chang'an for crimes.

Zhang Tang befriended him and helped him wholeheartedly.

Tian Sheng was named a marquis after his release, and he had a deep friendship with Zhang Tang, and introduced Zhang Tang to meet the nobles.

So not long after the drama Meng finished speaking, he set off for Chaofu, the kind of person who picked himself up was someone like Zhuge Liang, and it was a means for the ministers and generals to wait for the price and choose the king in the troubled times.

Zhang Tang is obviously not this kind of person, a speculative camper, a person with fame and fortune, he is talking about him.

Because Zhang Tang himself is a Chang'an official, it is not very far from Chaofu.

After arriving at Chao Mansion, Zhang Tang asked the porter to go to Tong Bing, and then looked at the majestic Chao Mansion, and his heart had a different emotion.

It is roughly similar to Liu Bang and Xiang Yu when they saw Qin Shi Huang's honor guard, and walked by with great momentum, and the two of them respectively issued exclamations of "the husband should be like this" and "he can take his place"!

At this time, Chao Buzhi was receiving the former imperial Shi Cheng Jia Qing, that is, Jinan Taishou, who was about to take office now.

As early as a few days ago, the two were introduced to each other by Chao Cuo, after all, Chao Cuo did not have many helpers in the court, and he could count them on both hands.

Because Jia Qing is going to leave Chang'an tomorrow, he came to Chao Cuo Mansion to say goodbye, but he didn't want to go to the court.

Chao's father is old, and there is no one in charge in the house, so the housekeeper invited Chao Buzhi out, after all, the two of them also have some friendship.

While the two were talking, Chao Buzhi suddenly heard someone coming to report that Zhang Tang, a Chang'an official, was visiting.

Chao Buzhi laughed a few times and said, "Jia Gong'an sits, I'll pick up a great talent." ”

Although Jia Qing and Chao Buzhi did not have a deep friendship, Chao Cuo respected him, Ji's father, and through conversation, he could also find Chao Buzhi's extraordinary.

Now hearing that someone who can get such an evaluation from Chao Buzhi, Jia Qing suddenly became interested and made a gesture of please.

Chao Buzhi put on his shoes and hurried towards the door.

Jia Qing couldn't help but smile dumbly when he saw that Chao Buzhi's shoes were worn backwards, and was about to make a reminder, but found that Chao Buzhi had already walked out, so he had to shake his head helplessly.

Zhang Tang wore a green robe, standing in front of the door of Chao Mansion with his hands in his hands, although he came here, but his mood was extraordinarily calm, because he thought that he could not learn less than anyone in the world, which was also where his confidence lies.

However, after about a cup of tea, suddenly the middle door of Chao Mansion was opened, and then three or four subordinates of Chao Mansion appeared, standing on both sides.

Then a young man walked out of it, saw Zhang Tang standing with his hands in his hands, his face was full of smiles, and he hugged his fists and said, "Brother Zhang is so late!" The foolish brother has been looking forward to it for a long time! ”

If you say that you are not moved, not shocked, it is false, the middle door welcomes guests, generally distinguished guests, especially in a place like Chaofu, the one who opens the middle door to greet is either the holy decree or the prince and minister, how can Zhang Tang's psychology not feel?

Lu Xun's "Essays on Jieting: Saying "Face"": "If you don't give him the main door, he has no face." ”

Now Chao Buzhi has given Zhang Tang enough face, although Zhang Tang thinks highly of himself, he never thought that he would be treated with such courtesy.

This is like a small civil servant working in a grassroots procuratorate, procuratorate, and procuratorate, and one day he goes to visit the home of the state affairs department, the president, and suddenly finds that someone has come downstairs to greet him, how will he feel?

Even if you are a light prince and a slow prince, but it really comes to that point, hehe, your mood and performance may be very different from what you usually think.

However, Zhang Tang is not an ordinary person after all, he calmed down for a while, hugged his fists and said: "Tang is a small official in Chang'an, he can't be so grand as Brother Chao, and he will make the world laugh!" ”

Chao Buzhi said unhappily: "Everyone in the world is a mediocre person, what does it have to do with my guests when I treat my guests?" Besides, although you and I have not been masked, but we have been friends for a long time, today I can see Brother Zhang's respectful face, how can I be lazy to make up for it? ”

Zhang Tang smiled and said, "But it's not soup." ”

"You and my brother hit it off at first sight, and they still talk about what is and isn't, Brother Zhang, please inside." Chao Buzhi turned to the side, and said with his right hand facing forward.

"Okay, then the soup is disrespectful!" Zhang Tang is not a rigid person.

At this time, Jia Qing was standing in the house, looking at Chao Buzhi and Zhang Tang in surprise.

He originally thought that with Chao Buzhi's talent and status, he would definitely be greeted by a famous Confucian or a distinguished guest, but what he didn't expect was that it was a somewhat thin young man in a green robe who walked in.

Although Zhang Tang is already in his twenties, in the eyes of Jia Qing, who is about fifty, he is still a teenager.

Zhang Tang's clothes are clean and neat, and there is no trace of wrinkles in sight, even if his hair is neatly combed, there is not a single hair scattered outside, and his face is angular, and his eyes contain confidence and perseverance.

Jia Qing glanced at Zhang Tang a little bit because of this, of course, he only glanced at it.

No matter how amazing Zhang Tang's knowledge is, he is also a rising star, which is incomparable with Jia Qing at this time.

Chao Buzhi saw the surprise in Jia Qing's eyes, so he said with a smile: "Jia Gong, let me introduce to you, this is the son of Zhangfu, Brother Zhang is knowledgeable, quick-witted, especially good at Shen and business, and more importantly, his eyes are like electricity, he is in the heart of the case, and he enforces the law like a mountain." ”

Jia Qing just smiled when he heard this, and then pointed to Chao Buzhi's feet and said, "I already know that Zhang Tang must have great talents, otherwise why would Chao Gongzi meet him?" ”

It's not that Jia Qing calls Chao Buzhi Chao Gongzi when he sees it, but because he is Ji's father who is his top boss.

If you were to call "Brother Chao" or "make up", what would Chao Cuo think?

As a veteran of officialdom, Jia Qing would certainly not make such a low-level mistake.

Chao Buzhi and Zhang Tang were stunned when they heard this, and the two of them saw that Chao Buzhi's shoes were indeed worn backwards.

Chao Buzhi patted his forehead and said with annoyance: "Jia Gong, don't blame Brother Zhang, let you see you laugh!" ”

Greeting each other, this kind of enthusiasm and sincerity, even in the face of Jia Qing's surprised eyes, Zhang Tang, who had always been unwavering on his face, finally changed.

I saw that Zhang Tang's face was excited, and his eyes were slightly crystal and he took Chao Buzhi's hand and said: "Tang is only a small official, why is Brother Laochao so fond of it?" The soup is deserved, deserved! ”
