Chapter 120: Shijie

Zhang Shijie, Qi Ziping silently read this name, he has heard of this person, it is said that he studied under the great Confucian Fang Fu Fang Wenxian, but in Chang'an it can only be regarded as a small reputation, Qi Ziping has only heard of it, and he has never even seen the other party, don't look at Zhang Shijie's reputation in Gongyi County, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven like Chang'an, where there are many scholars like dogs and officials walking all over the ground, it is good to have a small reputation.

According to this point of view, the imperial history is just a six-rank official, and Zhao Shi is now serving in King Jing's mansion, there is already a big gap between the two, Qi Ziping's initial surprise is just because he didn't expect Zhao Shi to have a relative in Jingshi, and as soon as he said it, he didn't care.

This breakfast didn't take long, after all, it was early in the morning, and the wine couldn't be drunk more, plus the wine was really strong, several people were shallow tastes, and Qi Ziping's insider's craftsmanship was really good, just two meat and two vegetables, an egg soup, this taste seems to be better than eating those delicacies from the mountains and seas, although it is to talk about it, after half an hour, the table is already full of messes, four dishes and one soup to eat a fine light.

The last sip of wine dried together, Li Lao patted his slightly bulging belly, his face was flushed, and he said with satisfaction, "Your family's craftsmanship is really not enough, full of wine and food, Xiaoyou, let's go out for a walk?" Or ......" He ate a little awkward at the beginning of this meal, but after a few glasses of wine, he let it go, and he could see that this young man seemed to have barbs all over his body, and he pricked his hands when he touched it. I don't deliberately look for that uncomfortable.

Zhao Shi also wanted to see the environment around the palace and be familiar with the road to Chang'an, so he agreed immediately, and the two said goodbye to Qi Ziping, but Zhao Shi still went to the place where Du Shanhu and others lived first, and warned them to stay in the palace honestly, and not to cause trouble, so he took Du Shanhu and the fox out of the palace with Li Lao.

Du Shanhu and others came here to eat and drink. Last night, I got drunk with Wang Hu and other palace guards, and at this time I had just gotten up, and I was still a little dazed with a hangover, but as soon as I heard that I was going to hang out, the interest immediately came, and under the eyes of everyone who were either envious or jealous, I followed Zhao Shi and left.

According to Zhao Shidi's request, they first circled around the palace. The palace is located in the northwest corner of Chang'an, not far from the city wall, Zhao Shi squinted his eyes and wrote them down one by one, and then left the palace and walked towards the city.

Originally, Zhao Shi wanted to take a good turn in Chang'an City. But after thinking about it, there will be many opportunities in the future, and it will be time to meet Zhang Shijie soon, he has been in Beijing for a few years. It's also a staff member in the Imperial History Mansion.,I must know the shape of Chang'an clearly.,And when it comes to some things, it's definitely more objective than what the people in the Jingwang Mansion say.,Since I've come to the Jingshi.,I also lived in the Jingwang Mansion.,I've stepped into the right and wrong.,You must do your best to understand the shape of the Jingshi.,Otherwise, what others say is what.。 But it's a bit fatal.

There is nothing to say all the way, but Du Shanhu and the fox look east and west from time to time, it is very a bit of a dirt bun to form a posture, Li Lao is pointing around beside him, but it is a pity to say that this Chang'an City was rebuilt more than 200 years ago, if it is the ancient Chang'an City, it is estimated that a brick and a tile can also tell a lot of allusions. Now. It's a lot inferior, but such a bustling scene. The fox is just that, after all, he has been here once, plus people are vigilant, they just listen and don't ask, they seem very calm, until Du Shanhu's big mouth and Li Lao and the two get together, and they smell like each other, laughing from time to time all the way, which attracts people's attention.

Coming to the door of the Imperial Mansion, the Imperial Servant is a six-grade court official, not big or small, but it is also a key point in the court, and his identity is very noble, but looking at the blue bricks and green tiles in front of him, the small and somewhat pitiful courtyard, he is still a little stunned.

Li Lao also saw a few people's doubts, and explained with a smile: "The Imperial History Terrace is all officials, and they are in charge of impeaching hundreds of officials, if they can't be honest and self-controlled, this official of the Imperial History Terrace can't continue, even if you have a lot of money, you have to make the façade extremely shabby, otherwise someone will be caught, and the result will be extremely miserable." ”

Zhao Shi listened, couldn't help nodding, and thought it was true, this was the same as those officials of the procuratorate in the previous life, they had to come secretly to spend money, it seems that the knowledge of this official field in ancient and modern times is about the same, there is nothing strange.

Coming to the front, everyone threw off the saddle and dismounted, and came forward to knock on the door, and after a while, the side door opened, and a person stretched out his head and quickly swept everyone, and then the body came out, and the thin body was on top of a big head, which was quite distinctive.

When he spoke, he was polite, "Who are you looking for?" If you look for my lord, I went to court early this morning and am not at home......"

"We didn't come to visit Lord Zhou, I heard that there is a Mr. Zhang Shijie Zhang in the house, we are his relatives, I don't know if he is here now?"

"Looking for Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang doesn't live here, he only comes here every afternoon when the master comes back, you can go to Mr. Yongningfang's residence to find ......"

A few people followed Li Lao, according to the instructions of the men, plus temporary inquiries, and turned around and around, before they came to a courtyard in Yongning Fang again.

Du Shanhu had already been annoyed, at this time when he arrived at the ground, he immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door, the footsteps inside, the door opened with a squeak, and a child walked out, but at a glance he saw such a big man standing there in front of the door, with a vicious appearance, he was startled, took a few steps back, and said with a wary face: "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Zhang Shijie, does Mr. Zhang live here?"

"Yes, do you have anything to do with my husband?"

Du Shanhu turned his head and grinned, "Lu Shuai, this time I finally found the right place, your eldest brother is also a little stingy, living in such a big place, it is not as spacious as the house in our Zhuangzi, it seems that you can't mix well in Beijing." ”

Zhao Shi ignored his nonsense, handed over the reins to the fox, stepped forward and said, "Zhang Shijie is my eldest brother, is he at home?" ”

Only then did the boy see the people behind the big man, and swept around everyone's faces. Although he is young, his eyesight is much stronger than ordinary people, and he immediately knew that these people were all extraordinary people, and he heard Zhao Shi say that it was Zhang Shijie's younger brother, Zhang Shijie had two younger brothers, and he knew the land, and his little face changed, and he immediately changed his smile, "It turned out to be ...... Here it comes. Mr. is reading, please come in quickly...... "This kid doesn't know what to call Mr.'s younger brother, so he is vague and a little clever.

Everyone followed him into the courtyard, which was not big and simple in furnishings, one main room and four side rooms. It is square, with an unobstructed view, a banyan tree is covered like a crown, and there is a stone table and four stone benches below. The wall is covered with vines, and although the yard is small, it has a special interest.

The boy let everyone into the main hall and turned to go out. After a while, footsteps sounded, and a young man in his twenties and less than thirty walked in.

The young man has a round face, which is very similar to Zhang Shiwen's brothers, but he is thin, his face is calm, and his eyes are deep and shining. Wearing a green coat, he walked in, his demeanor was calm, revealing an elegant temperament.

After coming in, he swept around everyone's faces, and his expression showed some doubts.

Zhao Shi stood up, took a step forward, bowed and said, "Big brother." Do you still recognize Zhao Shi? ”

Zhang Shijie was stunned. Zhao Shi is indeed his cousin, although he has not seen him for many years. The last time he went back to his hometown was three or four years ago, when the family was divided, his father was sick, and he went back with a stomach full of anger.

The last time he saw Zhao Shi, Zhao Shi was still a child who could just walk, and now Zhao Shi stood there, but he was only half a head shorter than him, and his body was even more majestic, where did he dare to recognize it?

However, he still remembers Zhao Shi's name, he heard Zhang Shiwen talk about it when he returned to his hometown last time, and later exchanged letters with his family, and he also knew that he had a cousin who was famous in the county, only less than fifteen years old, and he already had nearly a thousand athletes under him, which made him admire, but when he saw the real person, he couldn't match the image of the cousin who was only a teenager.

looked Zhao Shi up and down carefully, and the impression was that the uncle-in-law was very rude, and the person in front of him was still a little interesting, with a slight childishness on his face, and his attitude was very respectful, no one should want to pretend to be his relative, right? But...... No matter how you think about it, it is a little impossible to see your cousin who is thousands of miles away in Chang'an.

Zhao Shizhi was prepared, took out the letter from his arms and handed it over to him before leaving, but Zhang Shijie did not open it directly, just glanced at the handwriting on the cover, and was already sure that this was the third brother's handwriting.

There was a slight joy on his face, but he was far from the surprise of meeting his hometown in another country, but Zhao Shi had a cold temperament, if the other party was too affectionate, he still couldn't stand it, so it was just right, but he also knew in the mouth of the third brother that although this eldest brother looked gentle and elegant, but his temperament was the most stern, he often woke up without being happy with things, not with his own sorrow, less joyful and angry, and majestic and self-assured, if it was in modern terms, it was an old-fashioned paternalistic style, a typical representative of ancient literati.

"Go, ask Xianglan to make some tea." turned around and commanded the boy who was probing his brain behind him, before he turned his head and said, "When did my cousin arrive in Jingshi?" But did you come to Beijing to report on your work? Then he glanced at the other people and asked, "Who are these ......?"

"The younger brother who only arrived in Beijing yesterday is not to report on his work in Beijing, but to follow the escort King Jing to come to Beijing, and now he lives in King Jing's mansion, this is the old man in King Jing's mansion, if it weren't for Li Lao, he wouldn't be able to find the eldest brother's residence...... These two are the subordinates of the younger brother, this one is called Du Shanhu, and this one is Hu Quanxiao. ”

King Jing's Mansion? Zhang Shijie was shocked, but his face was silent, Shi Shiran gave a salute to a few people, and said loudly: "The humble house is simple, let a few people laugh, Shijie rarely comes here, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, I hope to forgive me." ”

As he spoke, he secretly looked at this cousin who had never seen him since he was born, and saw that the other party's face was also light, but his body was as tall as a pine, and his bearing was calm, and he couldn't tell that he was still a fourteen-year-old boy at all. I should have visited the place last time, but now I am a little embarrassed, as if my eldest brother is not as familiar with him as these outsiders.

But live in King Jing's Mansion? Zhang Shijie's brows frowned slightly, the situation in Beijing is changing, is the palace so easy to enter? My cousin has no roots and no foundation, don't be taken advantage of, I have to ask about this matter in private.

Thinking in his heart, he smiled gently. It made people feel good at first sight, and after a few words of greeting, everyone sat down, and after a while, a good-looking girl brought in fragrant tea.

When the girl went out, Zhang Shiwen said again: "Cousin, is the family okay?" I haven't seen my aunt in years......"

Speaking of this, his face showed some embarrassment unabashedly. But he quickly cleaned up, "When my uncle-in-law went, my nephew didn't go back to worship his old man, so it's better not to be strange to my cousin." ”

Zhao Shi shook his head, he didn't come here to talk about such nonsense, but some things couldn't be asked in front of Elder Li at this time. just said lightly: "As long as the eldest brother has this heart, there is nothing to blame, my mother is in good health, but my aunt's body doesn't seem to be very good." The eldest brother should pay attention, before leaving, the third brother also said, the aunt always talks about the eldest brother, saying that you will go for a few years, and you will not even go back once, which is very worrying, but here the younger brother wants to persuade the eldest brother, and you can do everything you can as an official. But if you become a loner, it won't be interesting. ”

After all, saying such a thing is not in line with Zhao Shi's temperament, so he said it a little stiffly, but he has also seen that aunt, a very kind and kind person, although he is ruthless, but in his previous life, losing his mother since childhood was his biggest regret, that is, now he has a mother. With sisters. I faintly made up for this shortcoming, but the memory at that time was too deep. It's estimated that I can't forget it in a few lifetimes, and I can't help but say a few more words at this time.

One sentence said that Zhang Shijie became an official fan, not to mention that Zhang Shijie's face became red, even a few people next to him were also stunned, these brothers are interesting, one is polite, such as to Dabin, the other is sarcastic, almost no face, which brother is this scene?

Zhang Shijie's mouth was a little bitter, the so-called son wants to raise but his relatives are not there, he has read so many books, why don't he understand this truth? But he was smart and diligent since he was a child, and later went out to study, for what? Isn't it so that you can once enter the ranks and glorify your ancestors? But the world is always unsatisfactory, although he is conceited and talented, but he has been on the list for several times, he is not willing to study all day long, do that Hao Shou poor things, and finally entered the palace of the imperial history as a staff, the sharp edge of the youth has been grinding for most of the time, and I want to return to my hometown to be a rich man and serve my parents, but this heart is not reconciled, that's it, I stayed in Beijing......

Now that my cousin has said something in my heart, I am not the slightest annoyed in my heart, but I feel gloomy, and the atmosphere can't help but be a little weird and stiff at this time.

Li Lao is a good person, and when he saw that it was not a matter, he immediately said a few words about what he had seen and heard in the DPRK and China, and forked the topic, and the atmosphere became lively.

When it was noon, Zhang Shijie ordered the girl named pandan to make a table of meals, take out the wine, and entertain him attentively, since he has something on his mind, this wine will not be less drunk, and Zhao Shi clinked glasses again and again, Zhao Shi drank the wine to a dry glass, he was fine, and soon Zhang Shijie was already drunk.

Zhao Shi naturally couldn't leave just like that, let the fox accompany Li Lao back to the palace first, but he and Du Shanhu stayed, saying that he wanted to talk about his brother's parting, Li Lao was not easy to stop, but he was secretly bitter in his heart, and the order given to him by his mother was to follow Zhao Shi closely, to see what he liked, what his temperament was, this is good, the brothers want to talk about brotherhood, he is here to die and not to go, but it is too traced, helplessly, thousands of instructions, only reluctant to go.
