Zhang Qiuchi saw the congratulatory gift sent by Zhu Youzhi from Zhang Jing.

It is a carved mahogany box.

In the box, seven or eight books are neatly pressed.

If it's just an ordinary book, there's nothing wrong with that. can pick up a copy casually, it is a unique book that is extremely difficult to find - there are even several volumes in Zhang Jing's impression, which have been lost in front of people for many years, and the rarity is not an exaggeration to say that it is difficult to find.

Ordinary people, if they can get a copy out, they will not worry about eating and drinking for half their lives, but the son of the Zhu family is good, as if he didn't want money, he actually sent a box over!

"You can't take it." Zhang Jing closed the box, and said seriously, but the look in his eyes seemed to be cutting meat.

The giver only said that it was just a few books, and he took it, but this is called "how many books"? That's it!

In his eyes before, the Zhu family was just an ordinary family, but who knew that the collection of books in the house was so complete, and this book was precious...... This family hides deep enough on weekdays.

And there has never been any contact between the Zhang family and the Zhu family, so there is really no reason to be so love-splitting.

Therefore, thinking about it, it seems that there is only one possibility - Xiao Zhu is hiding from his home and secretly taking it out to give it away.

This is "swag".

Hey, Xiao Zhu is really too young to know the severity, in order to satisfy his vanity of pretending to be wide in front of others, he actually did such a ruined thing.

If the matter is revealed, I am afraid that it will be light to break a leg!

What the?

Why did he think that?

Because if it were his son, he would have to fight too!

Everyone is a scholarly family, you can't lose face if you lose anything, and it's impossible to be cheeky and go back to what you send out, so thinking about it, it seems that the only way to go is to beat the child out of anger.

Zhang Qiuchi couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, but he immediately echoed: "Second Uncle is right, I'll let people return it." ”

"It's better for you to go to Zhu's house with me in person, so as to save any mistakes on the way." Zhang Jing said cautiously.

After all, this is not an ordinary thing.

Zhang Qiuchi thought about it and nodded.

The uncle and nephew went out without delay, and made a little salute.

Zhang Meishou, who went to Haitang Residence, didn't know anything about this matter.

The Song family was carefully instructing Aunt Zhao what things to pack and what gifts to prepare.

It was already dark, and Fangju went into the inner room to hold the lamp.

Zhang Meishou looked at the gauze lamp on the table, listening to his mother and Aunt Zhao occasionally mention the old things in Suzhou, and couldn't help but yearn for it in his heart.

After she had a memory, she had never been to the land of Jiangnan.

To be exact, she had never been anywhere in her previous life.

Zhang Meishou was holding his cheeks, immersed in the joy of going out to play, but he didn't know that his second uncle and eldest brother had already found Zhu Tanhualang's house and were sitting in the Zhu family's flower hall eating tea.

In this regard, the sudden visit of the uncle and nephew of the Zhang family, Zhu Mingyuan, the master of the Zhu family, was quite confused.

After excessing each other's pleasantries, they heard each other say, "Pass here, and take a look at the little prince of your mansion by the way", and they were even more at a loss for a while.

The Zhang family has been famous recently.

First of all, the matter of naturalization caused a lot of uproar, and the old man of the Zhang family not only showed his unusual network resources, but also was known as a moral model in Beijing for a while.

Immediately, the Zhang family was rewarded by the holy decree.

If he remembers correctly, the second master of the Zhang family, who already has a bit of reputation in Yitong Academy, has also been praised by the emperor.

But how did he not know when his son had a relationship with the Zhang family?

But as a father, if he asked the second master of the Zhang family in person, it seemed that he didn't know anything, so he could only hold back the doubts in his heart and invite his son over.

Seeing that everything was going well, Zhang Jing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

That is to say, their Zhang family is bright and upright, and it is atmospheric enough, if they change to another family, they may not return it.

He saved Xiao Zhu's leg.

However, the Zhu family is really too low-key - Zhang Jing looked at the ordinary furnishings in the hall without a trace.

If others talk about low-key luxury in it, people are simply low-key to true simplicity.

Not long after, the son of the Zhu family was invited over.

"Father, I heard that a guest wants to see his son."

A voice came, Zhang Jing's eyes changed, and he frowned.

Hey, which one of these young people has to be at least fourteen or fifteen years old?

Yes...... It's all because he didn't ask Xiao Zhu about his ranking at home!

It's embarrassing.

However, how can this be difficult for him Zhang Jing?

"Does Zhu Gongzi remember Zhang?" Zhang Jing asked with a smile.

Zhang Qiuchi lowered his eyes to hide his surprise.

The second uncle is really an all-rounder.

The son of the Zhu family thought about it seriously, and he never remembered where he had seen this person, but he had heard the servant tell him the identity of the other party on the way.

"Naturally, I remember that Mr. Zhang's name has been admired by younger generations for a long time."

The prince of the Zhu family replied hypocritically.

After all, everyone is a face-saving person.

Zhang Jing pretended to be calm and asked some questions about his studies, and the son of the Zhu family answered them one by one.

Although the father and son of the Zhu family are still confused, they are still happy to be praised.

Zhang Jingruo casually asked Zhu Gongzi, "I don't know if Brother Ling is at home?" ”

The father and son of the Zhu family were all stunned.

Master Zhu looked embarrassed: "Yes." It's just that Fang was just coaxed to sleep by the nurse, Mr. Zhang...... Want to see you? ”

"......" Zhang Jing was stunned.

Uh, what does that mean?

He had long suspected that Xiao Zhu was an unfavored concubine, but didn't the concubine even deserve a name?

Reason told him that it was unlikely.

Moreover, later in Huzhou, he saw that Xiao Zhu had many guards around him, and he had already dispelled his suspicion that Xiao Zhu was not favored.

Then, there is only one possibility left -

Xiao Zhu is not the son of Zhu Tanhualang's family at all!

Facing the slightly incomprehensible eyes of Master Zhu and Master Zhu, Zhang Jing showed an embarrassed but polite smile.

"No, no, no, I saw that the eldest son of your mansion was handsome and talented, so I thought that the other sons must also be extraordinary, so I asked more, but I didn't know that the second son of your mansion was still in infancy - it was really rude."

This is both a relief and a temptation.

But seeing that Master Zhu nodded, he said with a smile: "It's okay, Mr. Zhang is serious." ”

“……”

Speaking of which, Zhang Jing still doesn't understand the truth.

He's completely at the wrong point!

Zhang Qiuchi turned his face slightly, trying his best to maintain the calm on his face.

Why is the second uncle so unreliable?

I can't just leave it, and I have to accompany my second uncle to perform this scene to the end.

In the end, Zhang Jingwan refused Master Zhu's stay, and took his nephew to say goodbye with a smile on his face.

As soon as the uncle and nephew left the flower hall, they all collected the smiles on their faces, and their expressions were complicated.

In the flower hall, the Zhu family father and son are also.

"When did you get acquainted with this Second Master Zhang? How come I never heard you mention it? Master Zhu asked his son.
