Liu Ru sighed and said, "Young master, I know that you are not willing to live under others for a long time, and you must fight for a Jinshi in the science field!" But you have too little time to read the book, I'm afraid the article will ......'

Zhang Zhang sounded a little depressed, sister, this is saying that this young master has poor grades, the level of the deputy squad leader!

However, what people say is also the truth, and most of them are at the level of their own half-hangers, and most of them are accompanying the prince to provide books.

Zhang Zhang was still blaming himself, but he saw Liu Ru take out a stack of letters tied with red ropes from his arms and hand them over: "Young master, I have been thinking hard for the past few days, and I have written a letter to all the sons of the Fushe who have had a relationship with each other in the capital......

Zhang Zhang took the letter and was taken aback, Liu Ru blushed and said: "Whether it is useful or not, these people do not have a deep relationship with me, you can try it." There are a lot of people here who are doing a good job in Baguwen, and there are a few Jinshi who have taken a subject! You don't usually burn incense, and it's good to hold Buddha's feet temporarily. ‘

As soon as Zhang Li heard this, his anger and blood immediately surged, and he couldn't wait to tear the letter clean with a few paws!

But after thinking about it, I suddenly felt that the pile of letters in my hand weighed like a thousand pounds!

Yes, heavier than a thousand pounds!

Based on her own understanding of such a sister, these people are probably only familiar with her former sisters, but for her own sake, she writes this kind of letter in a low voice!

Zhang Li took the letter into his arms, his eyes moistened, but his tone was with an unprecedented firmness: 'If so, I won't look for any of these people!' ‘

Liu Ru was relieved when she saw Zhang Li's letter, but suddenly heard Zhang Zhang say that he would not look for it, and immediately became anxious: "Young master! You ......'

Zhang Li gently took Liu Ruyi's soft little hand, and said with a smile: "These are your ink treasures, your mind, I will collect them as the most precious treasures!" ‘

After a pause, Zhang Zhang continued: "I have a lot of connections with Master Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and I will definitely benefit a lot from asking Lord Xu for advice on the Bagu article when the time comes." ‘

Zhang Li couldn't tell how effective Liu Ru's grandfather's jade pendant was on Lord Xu. But this is to be said, with the heart of the sister.

As soon as he heard this, Liu Ru immediately became overjoyed: "Lord Xu is an important minister of the imperial court, and the article must have done an excellent job. If there is a guide from Master Xu. I'm very confident in you, young master, in this imperial examination! ‘

Zhang Zhang nodded, and did not speak.

The two chattered for a long time, until dusk.

That night, everyone in the medical hall set up a few tables of practice banquets for Zhang Li, and Zhang Li was drunk until he was drunk......

The day of parting has finally arrived. Early the next morning, the carriage of the British government came to Ganlu Lane to pick up Zhang Zhang and go to Songjiang.

Songjiang was later known as Shanghai, and it was there that the ships heading north of Nanjing set sail.

After the carriage arrived, Zhang Zhang said goodbye to Liu Ruyi, Anzi and others one by one, and finally took Gao Yuanliang into the carriage.

Because it was a carriage arranged by the British prince, it was impossible for Zhang Zhang to be alone with Ruochen, and this carriage was just Zhang Li and Gao Yuanliang.

When the carriage started, Zhang Li relented and no longer lifted the curtain to look at Liu Rus.

Because Liu Ru was already crying like a tearful person just now, look at it now. It only adds to sorrow.

The convoy traveled eastward and arrived at Songjiang Prefecture in the evening.

Songjiang Mansion was far less prosperous in the Ming Dynasty than Shanghai in later generations, and the area basically near the East China Sea was a military garrison.

The convoy of the British Government arrived at the Zhonghou Station in Nanhui Tsui, and the convoy went straight to the easternmost pier of the Guardhouse.

When Zhang Zhang got out of the carriage and looked at the warship moored on the dock with some surprise, Ruochen walked over.

'Why, do you think we're on a passenger ship?' Now there are no passenger ships going north, all of them are naval ships. Ruochen saw Zhang Li's stunned look on his face, and smiled slightly.

Zhang Zhang nodded. I know that the coast of Shandong is not very peaceful now, and I am afraid that the only one who can carry Tianjin Wei on his back can only be the naval warship.

Zhang Li suddenly remembered something and asked, "Ruochen." Didn't Miss Ling'er come to Nanjing before, why didn't she see anyone these days? Won't she go to Jingshi with us? ‘

Ruochen was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhang Zhang to ask such a question, and said casually: "Ling'er has some things to do, in Suzhou." ‘

While the two were chatting, a servant from the Guogong Mansion walked over quickly. After saluting Ruochen, he said, "Miss, the eldest young master ordered to board the ship. ‘

Ruochen nodded, and boarded the warship with Gao Yuanliang with Zhang Li.

The ship was not particularly large, only five or six zhang long, and only two zhang wide.

The ship was divided into two tiers, with the lower deck for resting and sleeping, and the upper deck with four Franc cannons on each side, for a total of eight guns.

Zhang Li and Gao Yuanliang live in a cabin, and the space is very small, only four or five square meters, which is smaller than the cabins of later generations.

Because he was on a warship, Zhang Shize strictly ordered everyone not to move around at will, so Zhang Zhang had no choice but to nest with Gao Yuanliang in this small cabin.

After sailing for two days, Zhang Li's warship arrived safely in Tianjin. Zhang Zhang thought that he would rest for a day before leaving, but after getting off the boat, a carriage picked everyone up and went straight to Jingshi!

By the time the carriage arrived at Guangqumen, the east gate of Beijing, it was already dark. As soon as the convoy of horses from the British government entered the city, the guards closed the gates.

The convoy drove straight to the British Mansion without stopping.

Zhang Zhang gently lifted the curtain and observed the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, after all, it was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the weather here was completely different from Nanjing.

In Jinling City, the literati and writers and amorous women that can be seen everywhere are almost completely invisible in Beijing.

Due to the recent tense situation in Shandong, Beijing is heavily guarded. Bands of patrolmen patrolled the city, and the streets were sparsely populated.

It may also be that it is dusk and there are no people, and many shops on the street are closed.

The tension carriage entered from the Guangqu Gate of Dongcheng and traveled for about half an hour before arriving at its destination.

Zhang Shize, the prince of the British princess, did not go home, but went directly to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, presumably to deal with official business.

Zhang Zhang got out of the carriage, and when he looked at the mansion, he gasped.

There is no end in sight to the front and back of this alley, the front is the wall of the Guogong Mansion, and the back is also the wall of the Guogong Mansion, and I don't know how big the Guogong Mansion is.

Zhang Li even wanted to walk along the wall to see where the end was, and was pondering. Ruo Chen's voice came: "Let's go and see my mother first, you haven't seen her illness for a few months." ‘

Zhang Zhang nodded and followed behind Ruo Chen.

As soon as you enter the gate, you will see a garden. There were large and small pavilions and corridors scattered around, and when the servants saw Ruochen, they all bowed and saluted.

Zhang Zhang felt very strange, he had also visited some palaces and palaces in his later life, how could he enter the garden first?

The so-called back garden back garden. Shouldn't the gardens all be in the back house?

After walking through the garden of the first entrance, and entering the second entrance from the moon cave, Zhang Zhang was completely dumbfounded.

I saw that there were still birds singing and flowers, and there were rockery nurseries everywhere - this Nima is still a garden?!

Ruochen saw Zhang Li's surprised expression, smiled slightly, and explained: "This is the garden of the annex of my British Mansion, and it is said to be a courtyard, but in fact, our British Mansion is also on the north side of the wall. ‘

Zhang Li looked at Ruochen with some confusion, what does this mean?

Ruo Chen smiled slightly and explained calmly: "In the past, the mansion in the north was called the British Mansion. But in my grandfather's time. The land to the south was acquired, and the British Mansion was expanded, doubling in size. ‘

After a pause, Ruochen said helplessly: "This area is too big, but it is a bit overstepping, after all, under the root of the imperial city, when grandpa was there, naturally no one dared to make irresponsible remarks, but now...... So my father divided the English Mansion in two, with the garden to the south. On the north side is the main house, separated by a wall, so that there are two houses, and there is no transgression of etiquette. ‘

The tension couldn't help but stab his tongue. This means that the British government is too big and divided into two so as not to cause any rumors.

The British government is really good!

Ruochen glanced at Gao Yuanliang behind Zhang Li, and said, "Yuanliang, I'll take Zhang Zhang in to diagnose my mother later, you can only stay outside and wait." ‘

This was supposed to be, Gao Yuanliang nodded and understood.

Walked down the corridor through the third moon cave door. Zhang Li found that there was still a large garden, but in the middle of the garden was a pond, and on the north side of the pond could faintly see a row of carved houses.

Ruochen motioned for Gao Yuanliang to wait at the moon cave, and he walked along the pond to the north house with tension.

The two were walking, and suddenly a young man walked quickly in front of them, and Ruo Chen's footsteps stopped.

Zhang Li's eyes narrowed, and he saw that the person who came was in his early twenties, with a thin figure and bright eyes. Look at him in a strong suit, with an embroidered spring knife hanging from his waist, and black cloth soap boots on his feet, his identity is already about to come out.

Zhang Li knew that most of this buddy was a palace guard!

Sure enough, the young man dressed as a guard came to Ruochen to apply, knelt down on one knee and said, "Miss, please forgive me for not being far away!" ‘

Ruochen waved his hand lightly, and after signaling Xiao Ran to get up, he turned his head to Zhang Li and said, "He is the chief of the guard of the Guogong Mansion, his name is Zhang Xiaoran, you can call him Xiao Ran in the future." ‘

As soon as he heard that this buddy was the chief of guard of the Guogong Mansion, Zhang Li didn't dare to hold it up, so he bowed down and said: "In Xia Li, I've seen Brother Ran!" ‘

Seeing that Zhang Zhang was a talent, his spirit was magnificent, and he didn't have the arrogance of a man, so he couldn't help but feel a little close, and he also bowed down and returned the salute: "I've seen Zhang Juren." ‘

When Zhang Zhang heard this, he was a little dumbfounded, this guy knows that he is a lifter? Know yourself?

Ruochen smiled slightly and said, "It's the elder brother of Miss Ling'er, and it's also the son of my nurse. ‘

When Zhang Li heard this, he was overjoyed, walked forward quickly, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Brother Ran is the elder brother of Miss Ling'er, and he is disrespectful!" I met Miss Ruochen below, but thanks to Miss Ling'er! From now on, we will be our own people, hehe, hehehe! ‘

Naturally, he had heard of Zhang Li's name a long time ago, but this Zhang Li was so familiar that he was a little overwhelmed, so he had to say, "Thank you Zhang Juren for taking care of my sister......

Ruochen was a little anxious and interrupted: "You guys will talk slowly in the future, and now let's go see Mother first." (To be continued.) )
