There is a Guanfang Hutong on the north side of Xizhimen Street in the northwest of Beijing, where many high-ranking officials and dignitaries are located.

The second mansion that turned into the Guanfang Hutong was the official residence of Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhang Zhang was carrying Xu Jingping's letter of introduction at the moment, and took Gao Yuanliang to walk on Xizhimen Street, and the destination was naturally Xu's Mansion.

There was no such thing as a letter of introduction before, and I couldn't enter Xu's Mansion at all, let alone meet Lord Xu.

It's different now, after Gao Yuanliang brought back Xu Jingping's sister's reply from the post post yesterday, everything was solved!

This letter also made Zhang Zhang feel a little relieved, the sister did not mention anything in Nanjing City in the letter, if something happened to Anzi and Liu Ru, Xu Jingping would definitely tell herself in the letter.

It's just that I don't know when this letter was sent?

Letters are usually named, not dated, and there is no postmark or anything like that.

Alas, at least when the sister wrote the letter, Nanjing was fine, and most likely Wu Sangui's grandson was lying to himself.

The hospital originally hung the shares of Zhang Shize, the prince of the British princess, did he really dare to do it?

As soon as Zhang Zhang looked up, he found that he had arrived at the mouth of the Guanfang Hutong, so he restrained his thoughts and took Gao Yuanliang into the alley.

In front of the second mansion in the alley, four people dressed as Confucian scholars were standing at the door, chatting at the door, as if waiting for something.

Zhang Li glanced at the plaque of the mansion, saw the word 'Xu Mansion', and knew that this was the destination, so he walked over quickly.

'Stop! What people?! An angry rebuke came into tension's ears, and he saw a gray-clothed man who was biting himself with a tiger's eye.

This family knows Zhang Li, and he has come to meet Master Xu a few times before, but he was rejected because he didn't pay a respect.

Zhang Liyi frowned, thinking that he couldn't afford to be verbose with such subordinates, and he lost his identity, so he was about to take out the worship post in his arms, but the man spoke first.

'Huh. Isn't this the one from Shandong who has been here many times before and wants to ask to see the master? ‘

Zhang Zhang was about to speak, when one of the Confucian scholars walked out of the previous ones, and he saw that he was in his twenties. Dressed as a scribe, he holds a folding fan in his hand, and there is a golden Guanyin hanging on the handle, and on the upper right thumb of the fan, there is a large green jade wrench.

The man's eyes narrowed slightly. glanced at Zhang Li, and said to another blue-robed scribe beside him: "Brother Tang, I said that Lord Xu is an honest official, Corporal Lixian, you see, is it true?" ‘

The scribe surnamed Tang glanced at Zhang Li, his face showed disdain, and echoed: "Brother Dai has seen a lot. Lord Xu is merciful, if he is in front of other ministers' mansions, he has such a faceless and skinless face. The people who came to stammer five times have long since beaten him so that he doesn't dare to make noise again! ‘

Zhang Zhang frowned, glanced at the two of them, and was about to open his mouth to fight back, but someone else spoke first.

A young scribe dressed in a moon-white Confucian shirt, with a thin figure and a handsome appearance, frowned and said, "Brother Dai, Brother Tang is cautious. This—' the young scribe glanced at Zhang Li, 'This brother is also a lifter, and we are generally from a lifter's background. Why ridicule him? ‘

Zhang Li heard this. I was a little surprised, so I smiled slightly, but I had the mind to take a look again, and I was not in a hurry to attack. Silence began.

Dai Juren snorted coldly, looked at Zhang Li's eyes with incomparable contempt, and said in a weird manner: "Brother Chen, didn't you hear it? He is a lifter in Shandong, how can he be compared with me, a lifter in the south of the Yangtze River? ‘

'What's wrong with Shandong's lifters?' Can't Shandong's people come to Xufu? ‘

Zhang Zhang was startled and turned his head to look at the person who said this. I saw a slightly chubby scribe walking out from behind Chen Juren and glaring at Dai Juren with an angry expression.

'Uh, Gu Juren-' Chen Juren pulled Gu Juren away and said in a low voice: "Brother Gu, this Dai Jian is a protégé of Zhang Pu, the leader of Donglin, and his father is a servant of the court's officials......

Gu Juren's expression was obviously stagnant, and he didn't know what to say, obviously Dai Jian's background was quite hard, and he couldn't defeat him.

Dai Jian spat a mouthful, turned the head of the gun, glanced at Gu Juren, and said coldly to Tang Juren beside him: "I heard that this Gu Youfeng is also from Shandong, look at it, the original form is revealed, right?" This Qi party knows that it will form a gang, and when I heard that someone from Shandong came, the hot ass was directly pasted! ‘

Zhang Li's eyes narrowed, it was obviously the regional discrimination of the surname Dai, and while scolding himself, he scolded Gu Youfeng, who was also from Shandong, which would be biased to detain Gu Youfeng with the basin of 'forming a party', which is really a strong word.

Gu Youfeng's face was blue and red for a while, and he said to Chen Judao hatefully: "Brother Zhengcao, this Dai Jian is really too deceitful!" ‘

Chen Zhengcao shook his head, and it was inconvenient to say more.

Zhang Zhang roughly judged the few people in front of him in his heart.

This Gu Youfeng has a Shandong accent, so he is naturally his fellow countryman.

By the way, Liaodong was beaten by the Tartars in the Chongzhen Dynasty and only a small area of Dalian remained, which was under the jurisdiction of Shandong

Chen Zhengcao, speaking the authentic official dialect of Beijing, must be a person from Beijing.

And Dai Jian, who is above the top, and the one surnamed Tang have a soft Wu Yue accent, and they are obviously Jiangnan people. And this Dai Jian is also the son of the servant of the ministry, no wonder his tone is so arrogant and domineering.

Zhang Li's eyes flashed, and he suddenly took it to heart.

Zhang Zhang walked up to Dai Jian, stared at it for a long time, sighed and said: "Alas, I see that Dai Gongzi's Yintang is black, and it must be a bad year. ‘

Dai Jian was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Let your mother's bullshit!" Someone—'

Dai Jian habitually turned his head, but found that he didn't come with a dog's leg today, so he couldn't help but stop the previous sentence, and said angrily to Zhang Li: "You dare to talk nonsense, Lao Tzu handed it to Shuntianfu one by one——'

Zhang Li pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly said: "Oh, Shuntianfu Yamen? What a great official, you are trembling with fear! ‘

When Dai Jian heard the tension, he softened, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and his face turned pale.

Gu Youfeng frowned, walked up to Zhang Li, bowed down, and whispered in that unique Shandong accent: "This ...... This fellow villager, that Dai Jian is the son of the servant of the ministry, and it is better for Brother Tai to say a few words. ‘

The tension was not too big, he returned the salute to Gu Youfeng, nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Gu, I know it in my heart." ‘

Gu Youfeng and Chen Zhengcao on the side frowned, they both shook their heads, and it was inconvenient to talk deeply. It seems that this Shandong lifter is a stunned young man!

Zhang Zhang didn't care about them, and Dai Jian said with a smile: "Dai Gongzi is a lifter? ‘

Dai Jian was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Tang Juren on the side said in a loud voice: "Blind your dog's eyes!" Dai Gongzi is a dignified person in the south of the Yangtze River, but he is not as good as your Shandong, cats and dogs can be admitted! Tsk, does Jiangnan understand? Do you know how prosperous the Jiangnan literary style is? A dirt bun! ‘

At this moment, the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion walked out, and after asking everyone to receive the prayer post, he said that after letting everyone stay for a while, he returned to the Xu Mansion.

After Zhang Zhang handed over the post to the housekeeper, Gu Youfeng and Chen Zhengcao looked at him in surprise.

Didn't Menzi say just now, this Shandong has been closed a few times, why is there a visit today?

Dai Jian thought that Zhang Zhang didn't have a prayer post, but when he took it out, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "Hmph, Lord Xu must be the first to summon when he sees the worship post written by my father!" Alas, now the world is really declining, and people's hearts are not ancient! Any cat or dog dares to write a message and submit it, and they are not afraid of being ashamed! What a humiliation! ‘

Zhang Zhang smiled and said: "Dai Gongzi, Ling Zun's official is naturally very large, presumably as you said, Lord Xu will definitely be the first to summon you later!" ‘

Tang Juren is not happy, this Shandong lifter actually robbed himself of the job of slapping the horse, is it tolerable or unbearable?

Tang Juren angrily rebuked: 'Phew! Want to pat yourself on the back now? You're not afraid to shoot a horse's leg! ‘

Gu Youfeng frowned, but Chen Zhengcao on the side seemed to see something, gently pulled Gu Youfeng's sleeve, and signaled Gu Youfeng not to speak.

After Zhang Zhang took in everyone's faces, he said to Dai Jian unhurriedly: "Dai Gongzi, I thought you were a common person before, but forget it. Now I heard that you are a lifter, tsk...... Tsk......'

Zhang Li's words were inexplicable, Dai Jian only heard the superficial meaning, and the green tendons on his forehead suddenly bulged: 'Phew! Lao Tzu sees that you are a common man! You blind dog-eyed dirt bun! ‘

Zhang Li didn't care, and pretended to be surprised: "Since Dai Gongzi is a lifter-hey, it's strange!" ‘

Dai Jian is a little confused, what does this kid want to say?

Zhang Li pretended to think about it, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized: "I understand! It turns out that Dai Gongzi's identity was obtained by cheating! Oh, Dai Gongzi, since you have bought your identity, don't be embarrassed in front of outsiders! Although I won't report it, I have to be careful that the wall has ears! ‘

As soon as he heard Zhang Zhang say that he was a bribe to get the exam, Dai Jian was so angry that he shouted: 'Phew! You dare to spray people with blood! This is slander, slander! ‘

Zhang Zhang glanced at Chen and Gu, and saw that the two of them had anxious expressions, obviously offending Dai Jian too hard with his words, and it didn't look like a wise man.

Zhang Zhang didn't care about them, and pretended to be puzzled: 'Dai Gongzi reacted so much, didn't this person get the test by bribe?' It's strange, Dai Gongzi must not have read the Four Books and Five Classics, and I don't know how he was admitted to the Juren? ‘

As soon as these words landed, Dai Jian was completely furious: "You haven't read the Four Fucking Books and Five Classics!" ‘

Zhang Zhang shook his head, and didn't pay attention to Dai Jian, but turned his head to Gu and Chen and said lightly: "My mother has never read the Four Books and the Five Classics, but I have read them. It seems that Dai Gongzi's Four Books and Five Classics were read by his mother for him......

Gu Youfeng was relieved, but there was still a trace of worry on his face: "This son, let's say a few words......

Zhang Zhang didn't care, and asked rhetorically: "Gu Gongzi must have read the Four Books and Five Classics, I don't know if you know Confucius and Mencius?" (To be continued.) )
