The spring rain was still falling, and the rain was accumulating in the streets and slowly flowing to the lower areas.

It's been raining all day, and the old mud and dirt on the streets have been almost washed away.

In the afternoon, Zhang Zhang received an invitation with the name Cheng Zhifu on it!

Zhang Zhang took the invitation and looked at it for a long time, but he began to curse in his heart!

Nima's news of the prefect is really well-informed, as soon as the British prince comes on the front foot, the turtle grandson on the back foot will be pasted.

He was afraid that he would be a small prefect, so he asked Zhang Shize not to move, so he dragged himself to accompany him.

I definitely didn't want to go to this matter, but Cheng Zhifu politely presented the invitation on his face, and if he directly slapped his face and threw it back, others said that he didn't understand the world.

Especially now is a special period, brother-in-law Zhang Shize is in Nanjing City!

At that time, the prefect of Cheng said at the banquet that he disdained to eat at the same table with the British prince, which would be very bad!

Nima himself is not at the banquet, isn't it a nonsense to let the prefect of Cheng talk nonsense?

Especially the fact that he calls himself 'the future aunt of the British Mansion' is really not easy to explain! If you were there, you wouldn't have said it directly, and even if you did, you could have led the conversation elsewhere!

I have to go to this feast!

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Zhang made up his mind!

Since Governor Cheng wants to give Zhang Shize a pick-up, then this host should not let him come, it is better to be himself!

Did you Cheng Governor let Master Ben accompany you? Master Ben will let you accompany you!

Soon Zhang Zhang sent an invitation to Zhang Shize, and on the other hand, he personally visited Cheng Zhifu, saying that he had already set a banquet, and he was very embarrassed after receiving the invitation from Cheng Zhifu, and intended to invite Cheng Zhifu to join him.

When the prefect of Cheng saw that Zhang Zhang said this, he automatically made up for Zhang Zhang and was really 'the future uncle of the British Mansion', how dare he refuse!

At dusk, upstairs in Mingyue, the most famous restaurant on the bank of the Qinhuai River, Zhang Li, Fang Yizhi and Cheng Zhifu sat in the box. Waiting for the British prince Zhang Shize.

In addition to Cheng Zhifu, Zhang Zhang must also find another person to accompany him, four people eat, and two people on his own side. Whatever the matter, it's definitely better to have someone to help

Previously, Zhang Zhang was still having a headache about who would accompany him, because as the prince of England, Gao Yuanliang and Kang Xing'an were fundamentally unpresentable.

Unexpectedly, yesterday coincided with Fang Yizhi coming back to report on the construction site in the southern suburbs, and asked casually. The tension was almost so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth!

This Fang Yizhi's family background is not simple!

It turned out that Fang Yizhi's father, Fang Kongzhi, turned out to be a Jinshi in the forty-fourth year of Wanli, and now he is the governor of Huguang!

The scope of the governor's responsibilities mainly has three aspects, namely, following the locality, inspecting the subordinate officials, and supervising military affairs, that is, governing the people, officials, and the army.

This Huguang, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, refers specifically to Hunan and Hubei, and has no relationship with a Yongle Tongbao in Guangdong and Guangxi!

Perhaps, according to the name of later generations, it should be called the Two Lakes. It's more appropriate.

In other words, Fang Yizhi's father is the highest official in Hubei and Hunan provinces, and the people's livelihood, official governance, and the army are all under his jurisdiction. Especially the rule of officials and the army, the importance of these two is self-evident, even if the secretary of the provincial party committee of later generations, the provincial military district is impossible to interfere, looking at the military power, it is only the share of exhaust gas!

This Nima is obviously the second generation of officials, and he is still a big official!

However, Fang Yizhi's family is indeed a cow. His father, Fang Kong, was familiar with medicine, geography, and military affairs, and was in contact with Western studies at an early age, advocating the study of knowledge that has been applied to the world, as the saying goes, if there is a father, there must be a son. His father had a great influence on Fang Yizhi.

Fang Yizhi is just a talent now, and he is attracted by the tension of Western studies, so he shows his ambition in tension.

Strictly speaking, Fang Yizhi is now regarded as Zhang Li's friend, not his subordinates, and Zhang Li's current status. I don't dare to harvest the second ancestor of this governor into a junior brother!

However, as Fang Yizhi, it is enough to accompany the British prince.

After waiting for half an hour, Zhang Shize was late, and the banquet finally began.

Naturally, Zhang Shize sat in the main seat, and the rest of the three people sat on the left and right.

Zhang Shize did not smile, which made Zhang Zhang feel that he was not very easy to get along with.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the banquet is slowly less restrained.

Obviously, with the identity of Zhang Li, Zhang Shize naturally can't look down on him, but this son is the son of the governor of Huguang, and Zhang Shize is not convenient to support him.

The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty have a high combat effectiveness, and the nobles are of higher status, but the real power of the court is always in the hands of the civil officials.

And civil officials who have reached the level of governor of Huguang, although they are not cabinet assistants, are rare. In minutes, the emperor issued a holy decree to recall the capital is a high-ranking official at the level of the six Shangshu

At this moment of dazzling eyes, Xiao Er came to serve the dish, which was a dish of white sauce fish pieces, steaming with an attractive fragrance.

Everyone took a bite and nodded their heads, saying that the taste of the fish was really delicious.

Cheng Zhifu was even more full of praise, and asked Zhang Li with a smile: "Zhang Juren, what kind of fish is this?" I've never tasted anything like it! ‘

Zhang Zhang smiled slightly, glanced at Zhang Shize, and then turned his gaze to Governor Cheng: "Master Cheng, sell a pass, guess!" ‘

Cheng Zhifu picked another piece of fish, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and tasted it for a long time, then opened his eyes, shook his head and said: "I can't guess, I can't guess!" I've eaten a lot of all kinds of fish, but I've never tasted like this! ‘

While speaking, Governor Cheng picked up another piece of fish, intending to savor it again.

Zhang Zhang suddenly exclaimed: 'Master Cheng, are you eating so much, don't you want to die?' ‘

Zhang Shize and Fang Yizhi were both stunned, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Zhang Zhang said lightly: "The name of this fish is pufferfish!" ‘

Cheng Zhifu had already put the fish meat in his mouth, and said: "What is the life...... Suddenly, his whole body trembled, he stopped chewing, and his eyes widened: "Zhang Juren, what did you say?" ‘

Tension said word by word: 'This is the pufferfish!' ‘

Governor Cheng let out an 'ah', hurriedly spit out the fish meat in his mouth, and asked in a trembling voice: 'This...... It's that kind of toxic ...... Blowfish? ‘

Zhang Li's face was surprised: 'Huh? How can there be a non-poisonous puffer fish in the world - oops, Master Cheng has eaten so much, I'm afraid he will die soon! ‘

'Ah, but you, you ......' Lord Cheng's face began to turn blue, and his tongue was a little disobedient.

Zhang Zhang smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, the puffer fish I ordered is poisonous and can't kill people!" ‘

But Governor Cheng didn't hear this, he sat dumbfounded, with a strange expression on his face.

Suddenly, Master Cheng covered his mouth with his hand, quickly stood up, and stumbled towards the outside of the box.

Immediately outside the door, there was a vomiting sound of 'ahhhh

Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh. Zhang Zhang stood up, walked outside the door, handed mouthwash again, handed a handkerchief to wipe his face, and was busy back and forth for a while, and then Master Cheng was supported by Zhang Li, and slowly walked back with a pale face.

After Lord Cheng sat down, Fang Yizhi smiled and said: "Doesn't Lord Cheng hear that Su Dongpo has poems: three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, and the prophet of the plumbing duck in the spring river." Artemisia is full of short reed buds, which is the time when the puffer fish wants to be on it - why be leisurely and elegant! Lord Cheng vomits like this, it's really a bad scenery! ‘

Governor Cheng also knew that this Fang Gongzi's father was the governor of Huguang, and he didn't dare to offend, so he said with a bitter face: "The puffer fish official swears not to eat it, and besides, the official only learns the sage's articles, not Tang and Song poems, and Su Dongpo has no choice but to do it!" ‘

Zhang Shize, the prince of the British prince, laughed, and when the laughter stopped, he glanced at Zhang Zhang and asked, "Zhang Li, I have always been quite wary of puffer fish. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of your life. Today is a feast for me, and you have this puffer fish ......

Before Zhang Zhang could speak, Fang Yizhi laughed out loud next to him.

Fang Yizhi said: 'Shizi, why do you really believe Brother Li's words? - Where is this puffer fish meat, this is catfish! ‘

Before going to the banquet before, Zhang Zhang had already told Fang Yizhi that he was not a 'young master', just a joke.

And Fang Yizhi was not surprised, after laughing, he said that this was right for his temper, he himself was a cynical person, but he didn't dare to say 'young master', and he admired the tension so much that he threw himself to the ground.

Later, it was agreed that Fang Yizhi would call Zhang Zhang 'Brother Li' in the future......

Zhang Shize frowned, revealing a half-believing look.

Zhang Li smiled slightly, and hurriedly said, "This is really a catfish." It's just a joke with Prefect Cheng, who knows that Prefect Cheng reacted so much...... Su Dongpo said in his poem that the pink stone head should be priceless, and the snow-white puffer fish is not a medicine. That's the fish. ‘

Fang Yizhi said to Zhang Shize seriously: "Shizi, Brother Li will pick up the wind for you, how dare you serve the dish of puffer fish?" How many heads does he have? ‘

Zhang Shize laughed and nodded yes.

Zhang Li pointed to the fish on the plate and said with a grin: "The eyes of the puffer fish are poisonous, and you need to remove them when you eat them." This fish has eyes, so it is obvious that it will not be a pufferfish. If Governor Cheng knew about this difference, he wouldn't have ......

Zhang Shize laughed again, this tension turned around and teased the prefect Cheng, doesn't this mean that he has no eyes?

Governor Cheng was a little embarrassed, and said sarcastically: "This official never eats puffer fish, so he doesn't know the difference. ‘

Zhang Zhang hurriedly said 'offended', and then said aloud: "Master Cheng said that he only reads the articles of the sages, and it seems that he doesn't have a deep understanding. Zhu Zi has words, and he knows things. Today, I don't know that I don't know it...... Ahem......'

Zhang Li's words are ruthless, this is a hundred times more powerful than scolding Cheng Zhifu 'xxx'!

At such a high-level banquet, it is extremely embarrassing to say that Governor Cheng doesn't even understand the Confucian master Zhu Xi's 'knowledge of things'.

Cheng Zhifu knew that this tension was revenge for kicking the hall when he opened his medical hall before, but Zhang Zhang said it vaguely, and he also let himself into the trap first, which was really speechless. (To be continued.) )
