The next morning, after having breakfast, Chengshan went for a walk in the yard and enjoyed the glitzy beauty.

He had a sleepless night last night. In the middle of the night, he sent away the drunken Shangguan Wan'er, and he returned to his room for a long time and couldn't calm down.

Shangguan Wan'er looks too similar to Li Runying, with long black hair, a graceful figure, clear and bright eyes, and a ruddy and full face.

Chengshan and Li Runying originally had the same heart and soul, and they would also fall in love and love at first sight for similar looks. Although Shangguan Wan'er is an ancient person, love seems to know no borders or eras, and lovers look at each other and feel the same.

Chengshan also clearly felt the difference between them. After all, Li Runying is still a modern student, full of innocent and romantic fantasies and vigorous vitality; Shangguan Wan'er appears more mature and confident, with a noble and elegant taste of the Tang Dynasty and a feminine spirit that guides the country and scolds Fang Xuan.

In fact, Shangguan Wan'er is now forty years old and can no longer be called a little girl, but she is carefully maintained, and she has never been married and has children, and she looks twenty-six or seven, which is very young. Her smile is just right, enough to conquer any normal man.

Shangguan Wan'er is indeed well-informed and well-read, she likes Ren Chengshan with thick eyebrows and big eyes, she can feel Chengshan's sincerity and wisdom, and chatting with him is very interesting, and Shangguan Wan'er found that Chengshan's speech and demeanor are not like locals, and sometimes some strange words come up, but she was quickly carried away by Chengshan's compliments and relaxed her vigilance under the influence of alcohol.

After the Zhang brothers left, Chengshan recited almost all the poems of Shangguan Wan'er, of course, Chengshan was still very careful, mainly reciting some early works, if he recited the works that had just been completed or were completed more than ten years later, it would definitely make Shangguan Wan'er suspicious.

He is proud of his literary brilliance, but he is helpless for his drinking.

Chengshan had never felt anything bad about such a large amount of alcohol, but he regretted it a little last night. In a warm spring-like Xiang Pavilion, accompanied by a beautiful wine lady, he actually kept his sobriety all the time, which made him very uncomfortable.

He even wanted to get drunk and not get drunk, but reason always dominated his brain, and when he found that the difference between Shangguan Wan'er and Li Runying was getting bigger and bigger, he was also "affectionate and polite", and did not further advance the plot.

Shangguan Wan'er is in an important position and powerful, and there are countless young men who have thrown their arms into her. Although some of them are also handsome and dashing, they are basically arrogant people who do not learn and do not know how to do it. She occasionally makes false promises and acts on the spot, so that her empty and boring inner world can be relaxed for a short time, after all, the pressure is too great in the face of the shrewd and capable Wu Zetian and complicated national affairs every day, and there is no time to fall in love.

Shangguan Wan'er is very smart, she appreciates this young man's talent, she has tried many times, Chengshan has always maintained her composure, which makes her very satisfied. After all, it's the first time we've met, wouldn't it be too frivolous if you dared to do it now?

Thinking back to the events of last night, Chengshan was in a daze in the garden corridor, and suddenly a group of people ran out from the side, these young people looked similar in age and dressed similarly, he didn't know what to call them, but those people reported their homes one after another, and said hello to Chengshan.

It turned out that they were the disciples of the Zhang brothers, and they also came in through Zhaoxian, but they came a few days earlier than Chengshan. There are indeed a few people who look like Peugeot, but when they look at their eyes, they feel floating and have no roots, just embroidered pillows and good skin. Chengshan chatted with them for a few words, and felt that they were screaming and chewing words, and a sour and rancid taste arose.

At this time, Manager Ding came over from a distance, he bowed his hand slightly to everyone, and several other young people also hurriedly returned the salute.

"Chengshan, come with me. He beckoned Chengshan and prepared to take him to see Zhang Changzong.

Several other young people looked at each other with envy, wondering when they would be able to see the true Buddha?

"How was the rest last night?" Manager Ding always kept smiling, he didn't expect that this time he really recruited a sage, who could not only predict Liulang's bad luck, but also talk to Shangguan Wan'er so speculatively, it was really a rare talent!

"It's fine. Chengshan replied simply, he already felt the taste of being sought after by everyone.

"It seems that Lord Shangguan is very satisfied with you. "Manager Ding knows that Shangguan Wan'er has a prominent status and noble status, and it is definitely a great honor to win her favor, and she will definitely not suffer in the future. But his words made Chengshan feel that he was a plaything, and the true feelings of last night were worthless, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Everything is so pale and powerless in the face of power.

Seeing that Chengshan bowed his head and was silent, Manager Ding thought that he was embarrassed, so he didn't say more, and soon came to a huge hall, where Zhang Changzong was sitting and drinking tea.

As soon as he saw Chengshan coming in, he beckoned Chengshan to sit down.

"Chengshan, it's really good physical strength! Get up so early today!" Zhang Changzong smiled evilly, he thought that Chengshan and Shangguan Wan'er were very happy last night!

Chengshan smiled innocently. Rokuro teased. ”

Zhang Changzong is almost thirty years old, he was originally born beautiful, and he was pampered and pampered on weekdays, but now it is the time of youth and grace, and he looks like he is in his early twenties. has accompanied Empress Wu Zetian for so many years, and he has also been infected with a lot of wealth and nobility, looking graceful and extraordinary.

"Don't be modest, now is the time to employ people, and there is a shortage of talents like you!" he stood up from his chair. "Let's go, accompany me to meet that Song Jing. ”

Chengshan was taken aback, he didn't expect Zhang Changzong to take him to visit Yushi Zhongcheng, he didn't dare to refuse. It turned out that Zhang Changzong thought clearly last night, and there was no harm in having a good relationship with the ministers of the DPRK and China, maybe it could increase his popularity, and it couldn't make Wu Zetian too embarrassed. Although Song Jing gave him a dismount at the Yushitai, after all, they had the handle in their hands, and not admitting their mistakes would only be more embarrassing.

A group of people surrounded Zhang Changzong out of the gate, and there were several tall horses at the door, and domestic servants were waiting beside them.

Chengshan was a little nervous, he had never ridden a horse before, and he was going to make a fool of himself. He carefully looked at the posture of others on the horse, and also pretended to step on the saddle, but the step was a little off, and almost slipped off, making the servant hide his face and smile.

"You don't know how to ride a horse?" said Manager Ding looked at Chengshan and smiled. "Take good care of the road. He bowed his head and ordered the little guy next to him.

More than 10 people in this line set off with gifts. Walking through Luoyang City, Chengshan was really eye-opening, and he was a little embarrassed at first, but it didn't take long for him to see that everyone was calm and relaxed, and the people on the side of the road cast awe-inspiring eyes, which also made him feel complacent.

After crossing the Luoshui River and walking for a while, they came to an ordinary courtyard gate. Zhang Changzong motioned to the servant to call the door, and a family member dressed in ordinary clothes came out of it, and when he saw that it was Zhang Changzong, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and hurriedly ran back.

Not long after, he led a man who looked like a butler to run out, and the butler stood respectfully in front of Zhang Changzong's horse and saluted. "Kaiyu Rokuro, my master is not at home today. ”

"Where did he go?"

"When I went out, I didn't tell the minions. ”

"I'll wait here, and you'll ask him when he's back. Zhang Changzong wished that Song Jing was not at home. After the morning dynasty today, Song Jing should go home to rest, Wu Zetian asked him to thank Song Jing, and Zhang Changzong did not dare to disobey the order.

But if he turned around and left as soon as he heard that Song Jing was not there, he didn't seem to be able to make a difference, so he deliberately stayed at the door for a while. Such a group of young men riding tall horses will definitely attract everyone's attention, and everyone is talking about it on the side, knowing that Zhang Changzong has come to visit Song Jing.

In ancient times, the means of communication were not developed, but word of mouth spread very quickly. Zhang Changzong wanted this effect, Wu Zetian would definitely receive the news soon, and other officials in Luoyang City would also get the same information.

Not long after the housekeeper went back, he ran out out of breath again, and he replied with sincere fear: "My master will only come back in the evening, why don't you come to the house to drink tea and rest, and wait for a while?"

"No need! Tell Lord Yushi Zhongcheng to come back next time. There are a few gifts to be given here, among which is a night pearl, which His Majesty the Emperor has ordered me to bring, and I ask him to keep it. After speaking, Zhang Changzong motioned to the accompanying servants to leave gifts.

The servant of the Song family hurriedly kowtowed again and said a few polite words. Zhang Changzong didn't care, turned his horse's head and prepared to go home, the purpose of this trip was achieved.

A few of them rode back the same way on a high-headed horse, and Chengshan enjoyed the scenery of Luoyang again. Although it is early winter, the market is very bustling, and people come and go.

Soon returned to Fengchen Mansion, and everyone was about to dismount, and a small guy ran over from the side in a panic, and it seemed that he had been waiting at the door for a long time.

He glanced at Chengshan, ran to Zhang Changzong's side and whispered a few words, and others couldn't hear what he said.

Zhang Changzong was slightly surprised after hearing this, he looked up at Chengshan, revealing a suspicious look. "Who the hell are you?"

Chengshan was slightly stunned, he didn't know why Zhang Changzong asked this, but looking at his expression, he must have been suspicious of his identity. Chengshan was about to distinguish a few words, but saw several servants surrounding him, as if he was an enemy.

"What's going on? Somewhere?" Chengshan wondered but didn't want to struggle, he knew that the best option was to tie his hands down.
