Xiaobei is not very interested in going to Zhang's mansion, after all, Zhang Juzheng and Hu Zongxian are not friends who cherish each other, but political enemies. In addition, she didn't want to be seen through her female disguise as a man, and she would cause any trouble for Wang Fulin when she turned around. Therefore, she casually found an excuse to flash first.

Zhang Jingxiu didn't care too much about this, his attention was all focused on Wang Fulin from beginning to end, and he only thought that Xiaobei was Wang Fulin's friend. As for the two entourage, if this matter didn't end with Wang Fulin today, they really didn't know how the eldest young master who lost the jade pendant would be blamed when he went back, and what kind of punishment they would be subjected to, so he said that Wang Fulin himself had seen Zhang Juzheng, even if it was a completely irrelevant outsider, the young master invited someone back, and they would not stop him in disappointment. Therefore, the bluff to disperse the crowd of the small north with the southern city soldiers and horses is leaving, where will they say anything nonsense.

Zhang Jingxiu went home not to walk through the front door of Zhang's mansion with a lot of traffic and crowds, but to take Wang Fulin to the side door. After entering the door, he did not forget to explain: "In the past, there were people who waited here for the rabbit, and then my father spoke, if you dare to watch the back door of the side door of the house, don't say what you want to do, just let the royal history refer to the book." Finally set up the rules, and it will be much cleaner here, otherwise it will be inconvenient for the family to go in and out. Of course, our brothers usually do their homework very tightly and don't go out much, if I hadn't gone to the Huguang Hall today to meet a few people from Jiangling Mansion who were good friends with the Zhang family, I wouldn't have gone to the outer city, let alone go to the city on a whim. ”

Only then did Wang Fulin understand that Zhang Jingxiu was originally visiting friends like himself today, but he was visiting. I actually ran to the human market. To be honest, it is indeed a coincidence. The second visit to this premier mansion that is not the prime minister's life and death. Because he didn't see Zhang Juzheng, his mood was much more relaxed, and all the way in, he had a little more time to appreciate the buildings and flowers and trees, and he also looked at those servants from time to time.

Perhaps Zhang Jingxiu rarely brought people back, and although the servants Wang Fulin met along the way were well-trained, many of them would cast curious glances. The path he took this time was different from the previous time he went to Zhang Juzheng's study, it was Zhangfu West Road. Therefore, most of the subordinates he met didn't know him, especially when he saw Zhang Jingxiu take him straight to the courtyard where several other young masters were studying, which attracted more attention. The two entourages stopped very consciously when they followed to the gate of the courtyard, while Zhang Jingxiu enthusiastically took Wang Fulin to the east wing, and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Second brother and third brother, I have brought back the person you want to see!" ”

Wang Fulin saw two desks in the room, one south and one north, and wondered that even if the Zhang family had many sons, but after Zhang Juzheng became the first assistant, the emperor of this house personally asked people to repair and expand, and it would not even be so nervous about a study. It needs to be used by both brothers. The next moment, he saw the young man behind the desk in the north drop the scroll in his hand. Reluctantly, he came forward.

"Big brother, don't you talk headlessly, okay? This brings the guest to introduce the guest first, what is the person we want to meet? As he spoke, he arched his hand with a smile and said, "Zhang Maoxiu has seen this son, my eldest brother is sometimes such a character, please don't be surprised." ”

"The third brother is right, eldest brother, how can you be so hospitable, and you don't say hello to us first. In Xia Zhang Sixiu, I saw Wang Gongzi. ”

This time, it was replaced by Zhang Jingxiu, who was surprised: "I haven't introduced the guests yet, how do you know the second brother?" But with such an expression, Zhang Maoxiu suddenly realized, and patted his forehead gently.

"You said that we are the people we want to meet, and at this age, isn't it the Wang Fu Lin Wang Gongzi that my father mentioned to my mother and us after meeting the guests that day?" Zhang Sixiu raised his eyebrows, then looked at Wang Fulin with a bit of scrutiny, blinked his eyes and asked, "I don't know how Wang Gongzi met the eldest brother?" ”

At first glance, Wang Fulin felt that Zhang Jingxiu was a bit of a nerd, Zhang Maoxiu was simple and free, and Zhang Sixiu was shrewd and sleek. At this moment, before he could answer, Zhang Jingxiu immediately grabbed the conversation: "That's just a trivial matter, Brother Wang Xian, right?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Jingxiu blinked his eyes twice at himself, he clearly didn't want today's scandal to be known by his two younger brothers, and of course Wang Fulin would not expose him, so he said lightly: "Well, it's just a chance encounter in the outer city, and after Brother Zhang learned who I was, he dragged me to Zhang's mansion, and I'm still confused." ”

Although Wang Fulin omitted the cause and effect, seeing Zhang Jingxiu's smile and tone that obviously wanted to avoid the important and light, Zhang Sixiu and Zhang Maoxiu brothers also knew it in their hearts and let it go for the time being. There are two rooms in the east wing, and the two brothers usually study their homework and don't disturb each other, but because this is never a place to entertain guests, it seems cramped with two more people, and there are no chairs for guests. At this time, it was Zhang Maoxiu who opened his mouth and said: "Big brother, go to your place, your place is big enough, and by the way, I will also talk to the fourth and fifth brothers, let them come out to meet the guests together, lest they say that they can be lazy but don't bring them." ”

When Wang Fulin came to the main room, he found that it was indeed a spacious place, with seven or eight cushions placed on the high ground in the center, just like the design of the living room, but he could sit casually and casually. When the four sons and five sons of the Zhang family came over together, one was in his early tens, and the other was only eight or nine years old, and the room was full of voices, which made Wang Fulin, the only son in the family, very aware of what it means to be lively.

In the messy questions, he was already in a relaxed mood, and he forgot that these were the sons of the prime minister's house around him, talking and laughing freely, talking and laughing freely, talking about the previous experiences of going south and north, talking about the magnificent mountains and rivers, and the majestic buildings, which attracted a burst of surprise around him.

Even if the Zhang brothers leave Beijing, they will take a boat from the canal to Nanjing, and then take a boat from the Yangtze River to Jiangling Mansion to visit relatives. Zhang Jingxiu even made it clear that his father and mother were absolutely strict in controlling them, which was absolutely rare in other official eunuchs, and even strictly forbade them to contact any foreign officials, lest people with ulterior motives would bring them badly. And although Zhang Sixiu said that he had some slight words about his eldest brother like this, he saw that Wang Fulin was quite appreciative of such a defense. And it was relieved.

Wang Fulin had even seen their father, Zhang Juzheng. It has also won good reviews. Why waste time with them, the sons of the Zhang family, who have no way of influencing their father's actions and perceptions?

Only talking about the customs and people's feelings, not talking about the officialdom, not mentioning poetry and songs, this is the purpose that Wang Fulin set for himself to come to Zhang's Mansion today. Today is indeed a coincidence that he met Zhang Jingxiu, anyway, he doesn't expect anything else, so he is happy to have such an interaction easier. When he talked about Tianmu Mountain, Zhang Maoxiu opened his mouth to recite Li Bai's sleepwalking song to say goodbye, and he sighed for a while that the famous places in the mouth of the ancient poets and immortals were sighed. Now no one knows about it; Speaking of Xuanwu Lake, Zhang Jingxiu sighed about the magnificence of the Golden Powder Land of the Six Dynasties and the Imperial City of Jinling; Speaking of Hangzhou, the two youngest children all envy him for being able to boat on the West Lake and visit Su Xiaoxiao's tomb......

Anyway, as there are more and more place names in Wang Fulin's mouth, the eldest three brothers can still hold themselves, but the two youngest sons of the Zhang family all have sparkling eyes, so they almost didn't open their mouths to beg Wang Fulin to take them out to see and see each other.

During this period, a scholar came in to serve tea and deliver snacks. But they all knowingly did not stay in the house. As for whether there is anyone listening to the corner outside the door or window, Wang Fulin does not know. Suddenly. Zhang Jingxiu couldn't help but ask: "Brother Wang Xian, I heard that you will be eighteen years old after the New Year, why have you been to so many places?" ”

"This ...... Actually, the reason is a bit complicated. ”

Wang Fulin is not afraid of any family ugliness that cannot be publicized, only thinking about whether he, who is a son, who is a son, who is unreliable about his father, will make people feel that his son does not hide his father's ugliness. Seeing that Zhang Sixiu was afraid that the world would not be chaotic and urged again and again, he concisely introduced the background of his family's debt-ridden and his father who ran to Huguang to sell salt for many years and did not return. When he heard that the first time he went to Hangzhou was to sell grain, the eyes of the five listeners widened, and the youngest Zhang Yunxiu even snapped his fingers, and finally shouted in shock: "Brother Wang, you went to Hangzhou more than two years ago, weren't you only fifteen at that time?" ”

"Well, there's no way, at that time, the family was poor, more than 100 acres of land were produced, and although my uncle didn't mention the debt of 7,000 taels, it couldn't be regarded as non-existent, right? In order to be in charge of the house, my two younger sisters even made jewelry with their own beads...... The children of poor families are in charge of the family at an early age. Wang Fulin borrowed such an old saying in the last serious book, thinking that if I was really fourteen back then, I was afraid that I would have been killed by that old father a long time ago!

This sentence aroused a strong resonance between Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu. Zhang Maoxiu nodded and said solemnly: "My father also started from a slight cold back then, and he never stopped studying, so that he is where he is today, and we can't forget the roots because of wealth." ”

Zhang Jingxiu looked at the gauze robe on his body, and said with some shame: "If I hadn't been wearing such a precious gauze robe today, I might not have met the mother and son who acted and blackmailed...... to put it mildly" Before he finished speaking, he saw his four younger brothers looking at him with very strange eyes, and Wang Fulin looked angry and funny, he suddenly realized that he had missed his mouth, and couldn't help coughing embarrassedly, "I didn't want to hide it from you, it's really not a glorious experience......

Under the joint "coercion and temptation" of Zhang Maoxiu and Zhang Sixiu, Zhang Jingxiu had no choice but to say that he was almost deceived and stolen today. Even Zhang Sixiu, who was the most astute, asked himself, he didn't feel that if he encountered such a deceitful guy, he would be able to survive. For a while, everyone looked at Wang Fulin's gaze, and they couldn't help but have a little more admiration. Zhang Jingxiu even repeated Wang Fulin's reminder to persuade him to leave quickly, but in the end he couldn't help asking: "At that time, you really can't let the government take care of it?" ”

"There are a lot of such cheats and abductions in the market, and if the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, or Wanping Daxing County and Shuntian Mansion do their best, the prison cell and the squad will not be able to fit at all." Wang Fulin thought about it, and decided to come up with such a reason that it was not easy to attract too much attention from these Zhang Gongzi. Sure enough, Zhang Jingxiu immediately wilted. But at this moment, Zhang Maoxiu suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"Brother Wang Xian, I heard that your uncle Wang Shilang's family had a Chinese meeting today, why didn't you go?"

As soon as these words came out, the five Zhang Gongzi who had just seen Wang Fulin talking loudly saw that his face was stiff, and then they saw Wang Fulin coughing, and then said seriously: "Actually, I don't like to write poems with people and talk about literature and poetry, so I politely refused my uncle's kindness and slipped away to the outer city to relax." Of course, the real reason is that I am actually Jiang Lang, so I can't hide. ”

We're honest people who tell the truth!

As soon as the words fell, there was an irrepressible laugh outside the door.
