Zhang Zhijie, who woke up early in the morning, looked at the post in his hand in a daze, yes, an invitation was sent to the concierge early in the morning. Zhang Zhijie was a little confused after reading it. The signature is Zhang Lun, the British Duke, Zhang Zhijie was extremely surprised, this is not Xu Guangmian and the like, Zhang Lun will inherit the British dukedom in the future. Although Xu Guangmian is the grandson of Guogong Xu Yongning, he has a second brother Xu Guangzuo above him, and Xu Guangzuo is the one who will inherit Dingguo Gong in the future.

In fact, Xu Guangmian knew about Zhang Zhijie's impeachment by Yushi early yesterday morning, and Xu Guangmian knew that Zhang Zhijie had been offended by this time. Xu Guangmian felt that he was really unfavorable for the past year, and he had encountered bad luck. I know this matter myself, and my family must also know it, in line with the mentality of confessing leniency and resisting strictness, Xu Guangmian decided to ask for help from his second brother, Xu Guangzuo.

Xu Guangmian found his second brother and told everything about it like pouring beans from a bamboo tube. Xu Guangzuo pondered for a moment and said, "You want to invite him to dinner, this is the right thing, but why invite him to the Qinglou?" This is a very inappropriate thing to do. ”

Xu Guangmian said: "I'm afraid that just inviting him to a meal is not enough, and then Zhu Feng came to look for me, so I told him about my troubles, and he gave me this idea." ”

Xu Guangzuo sneered: "You were tricked by him!" How many times have I told you, don't have any dealings with him, are you an elm pimple with the eyes of someone who has a family?! Now I'm being used as a gun again! ”

Xu Guangmian lowered his head dejectedly and said: "He is just relying on the shadow of the queen's mother, if he is offended, he will be offended!" Xu Guangzuo sighed and said: "Guangmian, the old man has been living at home all these years, and the governor's mansion of the five armies is almost not knowing the name of the Xu family!" Guangmian, my family has been very difficult these years. ”

Xu Guangmian understands in his heart that he is a dignified Dingguo Prince, but he is not in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the First Army, and many people have looked at the Dingguo Mansion with strange eyes in recent years. Therefore, Xu Guangzuo wanted to revitalize the lintel, so he could only focus on Zhu Houzhao, the prince of his generation.

Xu Guangzuo smiled and said: "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, you don't care about this matter, I'll deal with it, you are not allowed to go out of the house these days, reflect on it at home!" ”

Zhang Lun, this is the son of the top noble, Zhang Zhijie is still a lot worse than others. I don't know him, so why should I post myself? Zhang Zhijie was a little confused, Zhang Zhijie took the post and went to the upper room, just out of the Qinglou, it is better to go out to the banquet or report to his wife.

Mrs. Zhang took the post and said with a smile: "It must be because of the impeachment of you in the imperial history book yesterday, it seems that there are still some twists and turns in this." Zhang Zhijie was still confused.

Mrs. Zhang explained with a smile: "Mrs. Xu of the Dingguo Mansion and Mrs. Zhang of the British Mansion are both young widows, so they have become handkerchiefs and have an excellent relationship. So Zhang Lun is naturally friendly with Xu Guangzuo, and it seems that he is going to be a peacemaker. ”

Only then did Zhang Zhijie understand that this was what it was. Mrs. Zhang handed the invitation to Zhang Zhijie and said, "Go ahead, just drink less." Zhang Zhi nodded and agreed, and was ready to go to the palace after breakfast. Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but think of yesterday's guarantee, do you want to tell Zhu Houzhao? Just kidding, of course you can't say!

When Zhang Zhijie's carriage stopped at the door of Yipinju, Zhang Lun and Xu Guangzuo were already waiting in the private room. Zhang Zhijie entered the door and asked, Xiao Er went straight to the private room.

Zhang Zhijie knocked on the door, and a mixed voice came from inside: "Come in!" Zhang Zhijie came in and saw two people sitting in the private room, the two of them were heroic and indeed young talents.

Zhang Zhijie hugged his fists and said: "Little brother Zhang Zhijie, I'm late, I'm sorry." Zhang Lun, who was sitting on the main seat, stood up and said with a smile: "I am Zhang Lun, I have long heard that Zhijie was praised by the emperor, and I was selected as the prince's companion, and I have always wanted to get acquainted. ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Brother Zhang is polite, I received an invitation from Brother Zhang, and my little brother is flattered." Zhang Lun smiled: "This is Xu Guangzuo of the Dingguo Mansion, Brother Xu." ”

Zhang Zhijie clenched his fists and said, "It turned out to be Brother Xu." Xu Guangzuo said with a smile: "The name of the Zhijie Festival in the past few days can be said to be like thunder, and it is really fast to meet today!" ”

Zhang Lun smiled: "We're all welcome, come, sit!" The three of them sat down, Zhang Lun rang the bell, and began to serve wine and food. After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became warm, and the three of them began to talk about interesting things in Beijing, and they became familiar with each other while talking and laughing.

After three rounds of drinking, Xu Guangzuo put down the wine glass, looked at Zhang Zhijie and said, "Zhijie, there are a few words, I must tell you." Zhang Zhijie knew that the drama was coming, and said with a smile: "Oh, I don't know what Brother Xu wants to say?" ”

Xu Guangzuo smiled: "You also know, I have a younger brother who is not successful, and he told me everything yesterday!" Even the elder brother was impeached by the imperial history, it was all his fault, I will compensate the elder brother on his behalf today! ”

Saying that, he picked up the wine, Zhang Zhijie picked up the wine and said movingly: "Brother Xu is too polite!" I know it's a misunderstanding. After the two of them finished drinking, Xu Guangzuo shook his head and said: "There are actually twists and turns in this matter, and I won't hide it from you, Xu Guangmian was used." ”

When Zhang Zhijie heard this, his eyes narrowed and said, "Oh, I want to hear it in detail." Xu Guangzuo said: "I know that my brother also suspects that this is a trap set in advance, and my brother also knows Xu Guangmian, you can think about it, Xu Guangmian doesn't have the heart to set up this trap." ”

Xu Guangmian continued: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have mixed up with the girl who was flirting with others singing in the restaurant, after knowing the identity of the elder brother and that one that day, Guangmian was very scared, so he thought about how to ease the relationship with the elder brother." That night, Zhu Feng came to him and gave him that idea. Xu Guangmian's brainless man really did it! ”

Zhang Lun said with a smile: "Zhijie may not know Zhu Feng, he is the second son of Chengguogong, after Zhijie's elder brother became the prince's companion, he begged him Chengguogong to enter the palace and begged the emperor, and also wanted to accompany the prince to read, but the emperor did not agree." This Zhu Feng is very scheming, and he has a gloomy temperament! ”

Zhang Zhijie suddenly realized: "I see, otherwise I would still be kept in the dark, and I don't even know that someone is calculating." Xu Guangzuo said with a smile: "It is also Xu Guangmian Meng Lang who has caused trouble to Zhijie, thanks to Brother Zhijie, I have already grounded him and let him teach him a long lesson." ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled: "Oh, since it's a misunderstanding, it's okay to expose it!" ”

On the way back, Zhang Zhijie sat in the carriage, but he was groaning in his heart. When he arrived at the mansion, Zhang Zhijie instructed Zhou Xingdao: "Brother Zhou, tomorrow you go to inquire, the night before I go to Zuixiang Building, whether Zhu Feng of the Chengguo Mansion went to the Dingguo Mansion, and inquire what kind of person Zhu Feng is." ”
