Chapter 398: Visit the Xu Mansion
Zhang Yi slept from noon until dark, and he didn't come out of the room until dinner.
Looking at the people at the table, Zhang Yi felt a lot of pressure.
In the past, he only ate with the old lady and his sister Zhang Xiang at home, at most Yun'er, and later, there was one more Li Hui, and now, there is another Yang Su, and in half a month, there will be one more Xu Rou.
Thinking of the people at this table, and they are all women, Zhang Yi's head is big.
However, looking at everyone's inquiring eyes, Zhang Yi still planned to say something to them.
"Today, I have something I want to tell you, so let's listen to it first, and don't express my opinion for the time being, after all, there are some things that I can't decide."
After Zhang Yi looked around, he said: "This time, I also have a little credit, and His Majesty the Emperor has always pulled me into the palace in the past few days, in fact, there are important things to discuss with me." ”
"Although we have just won the battle against the Turks, but now, the Tubo people in the west have begun to invade the Tang Dynasty again, so Your Majesty intends to let me continue to serve as a military officer and lead the army against the Tubos."
Zhang Yi retouched it a little, and then told everyone about Li Er's decision.
"Ah, how can this be, Uncle has just come back from fighting the Turks, and he hasn't rested for two days, why is he going out to fight Tibet again, this, what is the reason."
As soon as Zhang Yi finished speaking, Yun'er was the first to be dissatisfied, although she was the one with the lowest status here, but the Zhang family has always been open-minded, and now she is also Zhang Yi's concubine, so she also has the right to speak.
And Li Hui and Yang Su looked at each other, they didn't know what medicine Li Erhulu was selling, anyway, it was not as simple as fighting against Tibet, otherwise, if the army sent a general at random, wouldn't it be better than Zhang Yi?
"Come, Brother Yi'er, sit down and eat first, after eating, it's not too late to talk about these things." As she spoke, the old lady was about to stand up and pull Zhang Yi off the table to eat.
Zhang Yi hurriedly came over to support the old lady, no matter what, he didn't dare to let the old lady do anything to him.
However, at the dinner table, everyone's faces were not very good, but it was true, and they were eating with their heads bored.
"I don't want to tell you, but now I can't help it." Zhang Yi put down his rice bowl, then looked around at everyone and said, "The emperor also gave me a marriage." ”
These few words made everyone at the dinner table stunned.
First the old lady, now the Zhang family already has Li Hui, Yang Su plus Yun'er, and the three wives and concubines are just right, but I didn't expect that His Majesty Li Er wanted to add a person to their Zhang family to eat.
In the past, the old lady was worried that Zhang Yi would not go to find a woman, worried that she would not be able to hold her great-grandson, but now it is good, during this year, Zhang Yi found it himself, plus all kinds of marriage given by the emperor, good guys, there were four at once, and two of them were pregnant with Zhang Yi's blood.
This change is too big, the old lady has begun to worry about going on like this, how much money will her family have to spend to squander, who knows when His Majesty Li Er will be happy and give Zhang Yi a marriage again.
"Husband, whose family did my father marry to you?" The first to react was Li Hui, after all, Li Er was still his father.
The surrounding girls immediately looked at Zhang Yi in unison, this is the girl who wants to know which family it is immediately.
"The Xu family, Xu Jingzong's niece Xu Rou."
"I haven't heard of this Xu Rou, and I don't know how, who knows her, or knows her, give me a little bit of it."
Zhang Yi asked, especially on Li Hui's side, he felt that Li Hui was at least a princess, and she might have heard of it at the level of Xu Jingzong's niece.
"The most powerful person in the Xu family is Xu Jingzong, but I really haven't heard of his niece Xu Rou." Li Hui thought for a moment and quickly shook her head.
Although the Xu family is also a prestigious family, it cannot be compared with the Cheng family's Sun family and other big families, and Xu Rou is just a woman, and she is only Xu Jingzong's niece, and even fewer people know her.
And Li Er can know Xu Rou and understand her words, to a large extent, it should be the guidance given to him by the eldest grandson behind his back.
It seems that the two couples still plan to keep pit themselves like this.
"But it must not be easy to think of a woman who can be married to you by your father, since we don't know her now, then tomorrow, or that day, let's visit some."
Li Hui now completely sees herself as the eldest lady of the Zhang family, and her words and deeds are all for the sake of the Zhang family.
"Well, this is natural, no matter what, Your Majesty has given me a marriage, and I can't run away, so I can only get acquainted with each other first."
Zhang Yi said a little helplessly, he also saw the helplessness of everyone, in fact, they are already very good now, and they can enjoy the joy of family, but Li Er wants to insert a Xu Rou, this is a political marriage, Xu Rou will represent a Xu family at that time, and their Zhang family must not be contemptuous.
After making a decision, the family began to eat, Zhang Yi had not eaten at home for a long time, so this meal was not very pleasant at the beginning, and slowly turned into laughter in the end.
This is the taste of home, only at home, people can really relax, no suspicion, no need to be wary.
After resting overnight, early the next morning, Zhang Yi didn't need to call on the eleventh day of the month, and Zhang Yi got up early in the morning.
It was discussed last night, and today he was going to visit the Xu family in Chang'an City, so he had to get up early to prepare.
After preparing some interesting little things in Zhangjiazhuang and some valuable gifts that are often given, Zhang Yi directly asked Lao Zhong to ask the coachman to drive the carriage in the direction of Xu's house.
This time, Zhang Yi didn't just visit the Xu family, he also had to come over to probe the wind and see the wishes of the Xu family, and even more to see if Xu Jingzong was willing to help him go west to pacify Tibet, as Li Er said.
The Xu family's mansion was in Chang'an City, and Zhang Yi's carriage would be able to arrive soon after entering Chang'an City.
"Trouble brother, let me report that Zhang Yi, Bo of Jingyang County, is here."
As soon as the carriage stopped, Lao Zhong got out of the car very sensibly and stuffed two small beans to the steward of the Xu Mansion who was in charge of reporting.
The old steward of the Xu Mansion took the things, and a smile appeared on his face, but he didn't know that when he laughed, the wrinkles on his entire face were squeezed together.
But Zhang Yi didn't care about this, the old housekeeper was just running errands, and he came to visit rashly without notifying him, which was indeed a bit abrupt, so it would be good to report it now, so that the master's family could be a little prepared.
