Chapter 340: Gift-giving

Zhao Lihua is also affectionate and righteous, and did not leave Zhang Lingfeng, but took good care of him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoUnder Zhao Lihua's careful care, Zhang Lingfeng's illness was cured. Before and after, he asked Lang Zhong to take care of Zhang Lingfeng's illness, and spent almost all the money they had earned before.

After all these twists and turns, the two became destitute again, Zhang Lingfeng was not discouraged, he firmly believed that his judgment was not wrong, he heard that Taiyuan was the birthplace of the Tang Dynasty, and wanted to go to Taiyuan to try his luck.

So, the two went from Chang'an to Taiyuan, and happened to meet Zhang Baoer and his party in Luzhou City.

After listening to Zhang Lingfeng's narration, Zhang Baoer couldn't help but wonder: "Uncle Zhang, if you want Miss Lihua to be appreciated by the prince and grandson and ascend to the sky, you should also be more secretive, why would you tell us directly?" ”

Zhang Lingfeng said bluntly: "The first time I saw my son, I saw that you must be a rich and noble person!" To put it bluntly, even those princes and grandsons don't have a good face like you! With a son in front of me, why should I look for someone else? Xiao Lao'er already has an idea, and has decided to follow Gongzi in the future, so there is no need to hide my father and daughter's intentions from you! ”

Jiang Xiaotong became anxious when he heard this, and opened his mouth and said, "This is impossible? ”

Zhang Lingfeng looked at Jiang Xiaotong in surprise: "This young lady, why is it impossible?" ”

"When I say impossible, it's impossible, there's no why!" Jiang Xiaotong said with a calm face.

Shadow was also full of anger: "You two hurry up, if you linger, I'm welcome!" ”

Zhang Lingfeng saw that the second daughter was furious, and after a little thought, he knew the mystery, he was not in a hurry or annoyed, and smiled at the two of them: "The son is already planning to take in our father and daughter, and it is useless for you to be anxious!" ”

"It can't be!" The two girls said in unison.

"How do you know I'm planning to take you in?" Zhang Bao'er asked noncommittally.

"Childe asked me a few words just now, and I heard that Childe meant to take us in!"

"You can guess my mind with just a few words from me?" Zhang Baoer felt a little incredible.

"Exactly!" Zhang Lingfeng shook his head and looked proud.

Jiang Xiaotong and Ying'er shot their eyes at Zhang Bao'er in unison, looking at this posture, Zhang Bao'er couldn't say it clearly, and it was very likely that he would be eaten alive.

"I can't see that Mr. Zhang's ability to observe words and expressions is good. That's right! I'm trying to take you in! Zhang Bao'er said lightly: "However, my wishful thinking is probably going to fail!" Even if I really look rich and noble, I won't marry Miss Lihua! ”

Why is that? Isn't the beauty of the flowers beautiful? Zhang Lingfeng was dumbfounded.

"It's not, if Miss Lihua is not beautiful enough, there are few beautiful people in the world!"

"Then what are you ......" Zhang Lingfeng looked confused.

"For your sake, you should follow me first! As for the thoughts of your father and daughter, I will take it to heart, and I will surely satisfy you when the time comes! How is it? ”

Zhang Bao'er's words made Zhang Lingfeng overjoyed, and he hurriedly pulled Zhao Lihua to give Zhang Bao'er a salute: "Our father and daughter have thanked the son first!" ”

Zhang Bao'er smiled and quipped: "Aren't you afraid that I will scold you?" ”

"Childe, little old man's eyes will never be wrong, you will definitely ......"

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about it, let's eat!" Zhang Bao'er saw that Zhang Lingfeng was about to show off again, so she hurriedly interrupted him.

After eating, Zhang Baoer asked Uncle Hua to send Zhang Lingfeng's father and daughter to Yonghe Building, and he walked home with Jiang Xiaotong and Ying'er.

Along the way, although Jiang Xiaotong was not shocked on his face, his heart turned a thousand times, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Ying Er also didn't say a word, and looked at Zhang Bao'er from time to time.

Back at home, Zhang Baoer asked Wei Xianyun to wait in the living room.

On weekdays, Zhang Baoer and Wei Xianyun talk about things, and Jiang Xiaotong generally does not intervene, but today Jiang Xiaotong and Ying'er are lying in the living room and are not going anywhere.

After Wei Xianyun came, Zhang Baoer described in detail the incident of meeting Zhang Lingfeng's father and daughter.

Wei Xianyun listened to this, and said with a slight smile: "Bao'er, if I guessed correctly, do you want to introduce this woman to the king of Linzi County?" ”

Zhang Bao'er nodded slightly and said, "At that time, I suddenly had such an idea, but I didn't know if it was feasible or not!" ”

Jiang Xiaotong and Ying'er listened to Zhang Bao'er's words, and then they understood his intentions, and while relieving their hearts, they also blamed themselves for their actions just now.

Wei Xianyun said with a smile: "The King of Linzi County is amorous, versatile, and good at singing and dancing, since this Miss Lihua has both beauty and talent, it must be very in line with the taste of the King of Linzi." ”

"That's good!" Speaking of this, Zhang Baoer looked at Jiang Xiaotong: "I didn't expect that I would start being a matchmaker too!" ”

Jiang Xiaotong defended: "You are different from me, I am still a little reliable here, and you haven't written a word yet!" ”

Zhang Bao'er said indifferently: "The king of Linzi County is the prince of the Li family, don't their father and daughter have such thoughts, presumably they won't have any opinions." As for the King of Linzi himself, it is only up to fate! ”

Wei Xianyun was a little worried: "Bao'er, it's to give a woman to King Linzi again, and it's to help him give gifts to open up the joints, do you really have so much confidence in him?" Aren't you afraid of betting on the wrong treasure, and all these efforts will be wasted in the future? ”

Zhang Baoer said lightly: "I have been in the casino since I was a child, of course I know the truth of nine losses out of ten, I don't know if I bet right, but at least I know that there is hope for betting, if there is no chance to bet, wouldn't it be even worse?" I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf, as for what I have paid, it doesn't matter if I really lose it, it's a big deal that I can earn it back! ”

"Bao'er, when did you help the king of Linzi give gifts, why don't I know?" Jiang Xiaotong asked curiously.

"Just two days ago, I asked Wang Shou to go to Chang'an with a silver ticket, and I didn't bother to tell you!"

Jiang Xiaotong became more and more curious: "Who to give a gift to?" How many were sent? ”

"Zong Chuke! 100,000 taels! ”

Empress Wei controlled the inside and outside of the court, and her momentary joy and anger directly determined the promotion and demotion of officials, and even life and death. Many people just don't grasp this point, and they go along with it, and even end up in exile. The political situation in the DPRK and China is extremely complex and changing rapidly, and the magistrates who are far away from the imperial court need to keep abreast of the situation and the trend of the wind in the DPRK and China at all times in order not to get caught up in the political whirlpool in a daze. In order to be promoted, some magistrates must also vote for Empress Wei's favor and understand Empress Wei's likes and dislikes and intentions in a timely manner.

Zong Chuke is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and the favored minister of Empress Wei, he uses this convenience to make extensive friends with local officials, and if local officials want to be promoted, they need someone to often speak and recommend in front of Empress Wei. None of this is beyond the emperor's favorites, Zong Chuke has such unique conditions, and he regards his power as a "strange commodity" to be sold at a price. As much bribe you give, I will give you as much news as you want and do as many things as you do. The officials bribed Zong Chuke for their own purposes. Zong Chuke is a person who does not refuse, and the more the merrier.
