Chapter 23: Only White Rice

They all came to the royal courtyard in their own carriages, and asked their subordinates to go back to get the bedding. Everyone sighed and settled down, and Gonggong Liu smiled and said, "It's noon, how can they eat?" After all, they are all noble children, although they have been punished, but they can't go too far, otherwise the emperor will also be embarrassed. ”

Zhang Zhijie thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I'll solve it!" Liu Xuan said politely: "In this way, the matter is almost done, our family will go back to the palace first, and the rest will be handed over to the little marquis!" Zhang Zhijie smiled: "It's okay, just leave the rest to me." Liu Xuan left, and Ye Guang left a few Jinyi guards and left.

Zhang Zhijie beckoned Zhou Xinglai and said, "Go buy a few buckets of white rice." Zhou Xing waited to listen to the following, but he didn't see Zhang Zhijie speak again, and said suspiciously: "Second master, just buy rice?" Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "Well, just buy rice!" ”

Zhou Xing kindly reminded: "Second master, these gentlemen are pampered, they can't eat just rice, right?" Zhang Zhijie said angrily: "Nonsense, I don't know, if you want to post money to call them a first-class table, I won't stop you!" ”

Zhou Xing thought to himself when he heard this, I only have a few dollars a month, and quickly shook his head and said: "Rice is good, rice is good, light and healthy!" Zhang Zhijie waved his hand and said, "Don't go yet!" ”

Not long after, Zhou Xing came in a carriage and laboriously moved a bucket of steaming rice. Zhang Zhijie looked at it, yes, it's quite fragrant.

Zhang Zhijie walked into the first room with a bowl of steaming rice. Xu Guangmian was sitting on the stool in a daze, and when he saw Zhang Zhijie coming in, he quickly got up and said, "Zhijie, why did you even catch me in?" Is there a mistake? ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Don't worry, the situation at that time, the emperor was angry, and no one dared to touch the mold, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I didn't dare to intercede, but you don't have to be afraid, relax, anyway, this is my decision, and I can go out after a while." ”

Xu Guangmian was relieved to hear this, and asked: "Then His Royal Highness the Prince......" Zhang Zhijie smiled: "Don't worry, Your Highness has seen your performance." ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled: "Look, after patronizing, I'm hungry, I'll bring you food!" Xu Guangmian looked at the bowl of white rice in Zhang Zhijie's hand, a little puzzled, what the hell is this? What about the dish? looked behind Zhang Zhijie suspiciously, there was nothing!

Xu Guangmian pulled the corners of his mouth and said bitterly: "That's all?" "Xu Guangmian's heart has turned upside down, can I miss eight dishes and one soup in one meal? Can you? Zhang Zhijie said bitterly: "The emperor doesn't care about eating, but I can't watch my brothers starve!" So I gritted my teeth and prepared white rice! ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled bitterly: "You also know that my family has a big business and a small business, a large population and not much income, and some relatives often come to fight the autumn breeze. My mother is very strict with me, and I don't have a few taels of silver in my pocket, so I can only invite my brothers to eat a bowl of white rice, ashamed! ”

After speaking, Zhang Zhijie touched the corners of his eyes, test, not wet, failed! Xu Guangmian was dumbfounded when he heard it, his family is big and his business is small? How many people are there in your family? How much land did the emperor and queen reward you? How many shops have you opened in your family? Don't have much money yet?

Xu Guangmian picked out a silver ticket and said with a smile: "Why are you embarrassed to let my brother break the bank?" Zhang Zhijie took the silver ticket and said with a smile: "Oh, how embarrassing is this?" I have to say, brother, you are too polite, I was going to go back and borrow some silver from the maid and get you something delicious tomorrow. ”

Xu Guangmian listened, and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood with a 'poof', borrowing money from the maid? Can there be no more cleves? But the rice has to be eaten, if there is only white rice, Xu Guangmian feels that he has to starve to death here, so Xu Guangmian said with a straight face: "Oh, brother, don't be polite to me, even if you take it, you have to trouble you, brother!" ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled and put the silver ticket into his arms, and said to Xu Guangmian: "Then brother, you sit down first, and I'll go and let them prepare." Zhang Zhijie came out of the door and said to the little guy with a smile: "Regan, go to Xu Ye and add a chicken leg!" ”

Xu Guangmian listened to it inside, and he was speechless, and he added a chicken leg for a hundred taels of silver! But when I think that everyone else is eating white rice, I feel that I am much superior! You eat white rice, and I will eat a hundred taels of silver! But don't ask me what the table for a hundred taels of silver is!

After Zhang Zhijie came out, he asked, "Who is next?" Jin Yiwei's Xiaoqi replied: "It's Zhu Feng of the Chengguo Mansion." Zhang Zhijie touched his chin and said to Zhou Xing: "Go, put some sand in this bowl of rice!" ”

Zhou Xing went with the bowl, Zhang Zhijie looked at Xiaoqi in surprise and explained: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered, let's not worry about it." When Xiao Qi heard this, he immediately understood, this Zhu Feng was beaten so badly, he must have done something to the prince, and he couldn't complain about being specially entertained!

Zhang Zhijie pushed open the door with rice mixed with sand. Seeing that Zhu Feng could only lie on the bed, his mood was not too happy! However, there is a strong smell of medicine in the house, and the little guy must have drugged him!

Zhu Feng's buttocks hurt uncomfortably, and his heart was full of anger, when had he ever suffered like this! I really can't understand why he hit the board! If he was beaten, he would admit it, but he only beat two people, Cai Ying was the initiator, and no one had anything to say about beating him, but why was the other one me?

Zhu Feng saw Zhang Zhijie coming in with a smile with rice, and his heart moved, could it be that he knew about my game?

Zhang Zhijie brought the rice to Zhu Feng and pretended to say, "Oh, Brother Zhu, does your butt still hurt?" You said that you are too, Cai Ying is crazy, how can you be crazy, now it's okay, you got a board, left a bad impression on the emperor, and offended His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

Zhu Feng only felt that he almost didn't catch his breath for a while, labor and management were wronged! Let's poke the scars of labor! Zhu Feng said tentatively: "Brother Zhijie, although it is the first time for the two of us to meet, I think my brother and I are very close to each other. ”

Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "I think so too." Zhu Feng grinned and said reluctantly: "The elder brother also followed him to the palace, I don't know what happened at that time?" How could it involve me? ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, you also know, I am very timid, when I saw the emperor, I was soft, my brain was buzzing with fright, and I didn't hear anything!" ”

Zhu Feng was directly choked in his heart, and Zhang Zhijie smiled: "Could it be that Brother Zhu offended anyone?" The more Zhu Feng listened to Brother Zhu, the more tired he felt, and said with a somewhat empty smile: "I have always been kind to others, how can I offend anyone?" ”

Zhang Zhijie touched his chin and pondered: "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recognized the wrong person?" Zhu Feng only felt a burst of blood surging when he heard this, and the dirty words came to his mouth and swallowed it back raw.
