Chapter 83: Brothers of the Wealthy Family, What a Kiss
After Zhang Jianxiu apprenticeship, he sat in a sedan chair and returned to the house with his father Zhang Juzheng, and now Zhang Jianxiu's identity as a disciple of the immortals in the upper realm is solid, and the alley outside Zhang's mansion is surrounded by three layers of melon-eating people.
Some clever hawkers set up stalls with many people holding lanterns, and the lights were bright in the dead of night, and the jade dragon danced, which was quite festive.
Outside the gate of Zhang's mansion, Zhang Jianxiu got off the sedan chair and saw a group of officials come to pay a respectful visit.
Most of these officials' court uniforms are biao, rhinoceros, and seahorses. From these complements, it can be seen that these officials standing at the gate of Zhang's Mansion are all low-level military attachés, and it is rare to have the opportunity to meet a top boss like Zhang Juzheng.
These low-level officials Zhang Da Boss didn't care at all, and left in a hurry because of the etiquette and saying "I have the heart, I have worked hard" and so on.
In fact, Zhang Juzheng has already said in the front hall today, his son is back from a business trip, due to the hard work of traveling thousands of miles, he needs to rest, Zhang Mansion will not be a guest tonight, and everyone does not have to dig out their minds.
I didn't expect to be exploited, how can Boss Zhang be in a good mood, fortunately, these officials are decent, otherwise they will be written down by Boss Zhang, and the little shoes will fall down.
The temperament of middle and high-level officials and even our boss Zhang will naturally not appear in front of Zhang's mansion at this moment, and the old foxes are very good.
Especially Zhang Jianxiu just appeared in front of outsiders in Zhengyang in the afternoon, and now the whole capital knows that the Zhang family has such an immortal, if you want to befriend the Zhang family, you have to be cautious, there are many people staring at the court, but don't do the dementia of stealing chickens and rice.
In this era of feudal superstition, that is the top of the top, the ignorant ancients have a personality cult of Zhang Qixian to the extreme, and it is polite to say that Zhang Jianxiu's words are better for these magnates than the emperor's holy decree.
Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good! Even with Zhang Juzheng's prestige in the court at the moment, it has reached a higher level. Zhang Jianxiu, who drove the ducks to the shelves, invisibly strengthened Zhang Juzheng's momentum in the court.
Previously, Zhang Juzheng's reform touched the interests of many officials, although there was the sword of Damocles of the test method, but secretly there was the support of conservatives led by Zhang Siwei, and these officials were obedient to the reform tasks assigned by Zhang Juzheng, resulting in the reform not being able to go on for a while.
Zhang Jianxiu designed to destroy Zhang Siwei Group, these officials fell into the dilemma of having no leader, and they could only cut their flesh with tears in their eyes, and they really hated Zhang Juzheng in their hearts, this is a hidden thunder.
Once Zhang Juzheng loses power and the Zhang family is weak, there is a danger of detonation, and then the Jiangling Zhang family will repeat the mistakes of the past and embark on the old road of historical annihilation, but all this has been nippled in the bud under the current general trend.
The reason is very simple, four words are good for the situation. At this time, offended the Zhang family, do you want to go overseas to plunder wealth? Do you still want to cultivate immortal immortality?
In any era, most of the people who are powerful above are people who have the ability, and those who don't have the ability have been driven down. The situation in the authorities has changed significantly, and the elites must plan for their own future.
After the next dynasty, each family opened a family meeting like Qi Jiguang's family, and the main purpose of the meeting was mostly the following three points:
The first is to exchange the family's financial resources for Zhang Jianxiu's heavenly treasures to further verify the cultivation of immortals.
The second is to repeatedly tell the children of the family not to offend the Zhang family at the moment
Third, we will make every effort to investigate the situation overseas, especially the gold and silver mines on the Japanese islands. Expeditions overseas are not trivial, don't eat fat by then, but open your teeth, this kind of matter about the fate of the family must be cautious.
Big Brother Zhang walked very simply, and the faces of the officials who met these officials were more or less unnatural, but he quickly changed into a more attentive smile and greeted Zhang Jianxiu who followed behind.
Among these people, there happened to be a lot of acquaintances who knew each other when they were on duty in Jinyiwei, perhaps it was a problem of occupational diseases, Zhang Jianxiu naturally stayed to communicate with these acquaintances, Zhang Jianxiu's communication art made these petty officials like a spring breeze, and they were self-worshipping under some exchanges, which was quite the taste of fanatical believers in a certain church.
An hour later, Zhang Jianxiu walked into the gate of Zhang's mansion tiredly in a farewell voice. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the housekeeper You Qi standing in the corridor behind the door, obviously waiting for a long time.
Seeing Zhang Jianxiu coming, the housekeeper You Qi immediately stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Fourth Young Master, the master has been waiting for you in the hairpin hall for a long time, and I ask the fourth young master to come with me."
"Hmm!"
Zhang Jianxiu passed several exquisite pavilions and buildings along the corridor, and then passed through several luxurious courtyards, and then came to the hairpin hall, an important meeting place of the Zhang family.
As soon as Zhang Jianxiu stepped through the door, he saw Zhang Juzheng sitting on the main seat at this time, and several half-brothers sitting on the guest seats on the left and right sides.
On the coffee table, there is an elegant Doucai porcelain teacup, the tea in the cup has no smoke coming out, the eldest brother, the third brother, and the sixth brother have shown impatience on their faces, Zhang Ju is like a mirror lake and looks at the door, and when he saw Zhang Jianxiu coming in, he smiled and said, "Si'er, are you all done?"
"Yes, Dad." Zhang Jianxiu bowed and said.
"Hmm... Dad knows that Si'er has always liked to make friends, but Er's identity is different now, and Er is now a national teacher and a disciple of the Immortal Family, so wouldn't you waste your time on these inconsequential people?" Zhang Juzheng said earnestly.
"Si'er understands what Dad means. However, Si'er feels that doing great things requires the support of many people, although the Zhang Siwei group has collapsed, but who can guarantee that there is no next Zhang Siwei secretly lurking in this court. Each of these low-level officials seems to have little power, but when they are gathered, they are indeed a lot of power, if Si'er pushes his old friends out of his own identity, wouldn't it be a secret enemy of the Zhang family, does Daddy think so?" Zhang Jianxiu usually Zhang Juzheng retorted.
If Zhang Jianxiu questioned Zhang Juzheng so much in the past, he would definitely be served by the family law, but Zhang Jianxiu is not what it used to be at this time, and Zhang Siwei's betrayal soon deeply stung Zhang Juzheng, but Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but calm down.
"Little four, daddy can sit in the position of first assistant, how can you question the way of behaving in the world, don't hurry up and apologize to daddy. Although the eldest brother doesn't know how you became a national teacher, but the former national teacher is still in prison, especially the lessons of the previous car, my Zhang family is a family of poetry and books, and the line is the majestic and righteous path of Confucius and Mencius, and the left road of the side door will not be long in coming."
The boss Zhang Jingxiu saw that Zhang Juzheng was silent, and immediately made a distressed look and persuaded him, which was quite the taste of the most beautiful brother of the Ming Dynasty.
"The eldest brother said yes, the fourth brother. The third brother knows that he doesn't like to study, and he can't take the right path of the imperial examination, but he uses the way of ghosts and gods to flatter and enter the official career with luck, and the hidden danger is very big, and I hope that the fourth brother will consider it carefully! lest you be tired of yourself." The third Zhang Maoxiu followed the mending knife.
"Smack!" Zhang Juzheng stood up suddenly, picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it at the feet of the third Zhang Maoxiu, the sudden change frightened Zhang Maoxiu trembling, looked up at Zhang Juzheng in confusion, and ushered in a stinking scolding that was indeed a head and face.
"Bastard, get on your knees for me! And the boss, why are you standing stupidly, you also kneel! One by one, insinuating that the fourth brother such as Squeeze Er, I am not blind yet. You are so angry that you can read the sage book like this, and you are gentle and frugal to read it in the dog's stomach! Someone is coming, and the family law is waiting!"
Zhang Juzheng has been in a high position for a long time, usually not angry and self-assured, and his momentum is like an abyss, but at this time, his angry momentum is like a tsunami that destroys the world and the earth, so frightened that the boss Zhang Jingxiu immediately knelt on the ground and trembled.
And the third brother Zhang Maoxiu still stood stubbornly and argued: "Taking history as a mirror, there are few people who pretend to be ghosts in the temple in the past dynasties, and there are few people who die well.
Zhang Juzheng looked at the third son Zhang Maoxiu, who was still calm and sophisphical in his full outburst, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his bright eyes.
"This third son is like his younger self, not only is he a good reader, but he is also outstanding in courage and wit. If it weren't for the sudden rise of his fourth son, he would be the only one in the future of the Zhang family's Zijin Liang, but unfortunately... In the face of absolute strength, there is no right or wrong, and weakness is the original sin."
Zhang Juzheng thought of this, slammed the table and shouted angrily: "The shaft still dares to quibble, how can it be reasonable! Come, immediately escort this erection to the ancestral hall, I don't want to see this kind of unkind and unrighteous unfilial son again!"
The sturdy family members flocked to him, and Zhang Maoxiu not only had no fear on his face when he saw this, but laughed out loud.
"The erector is rude, so madly rebellious, that he shall go down, and no one shall visit without my permission, and whoever does not listen shall be punished together
!」 Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng was so angry that his beard curled up and patted the case.
This sentence is really cruel, there is no water and food without visitation, and a short period of hunger and thirst does not hurt the body much, but it is very harmful to the spirit.
Zhang Maoxiu got up and flicked his sleeves, debauched and uninhibited, and had the smell of a madman who was a dead maniac.
"I laugh at the confusion of the world, and the lessons of blood and tears in history are vivid, but the world can't see through them. The Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty are like this, the Tang Dynasty and the Song Ancestors are also like this, and the Shizong of this dynasty have become immortals? On the contrary, it has caused turmoil in the country. My father is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and my every move involves the Ming Dynasty and the well-being of the people of the Dawn, and I hope that my father will be able to learn from it."
After Zhang Maoxiu finished speaking, he bowed to Zhang Juzheng and said respectfully: "The child is unfilial and provokes his father's anger, and he should be punished. The child hopes that the father will be angry and carefully consider what the child says."
After speaking, Zhang Maoxiu calmly got up and said to the family: "I don't need you to escort me, I'll go to the ancestral hall by myself!"
Zhang Juzheng looked at the young and frivolous third son, and suddenly felt a little sad, so he sighed: "Why do you have to think about it for your father, you study and prepare for the exam behind closed doors, and you really don't know what is going on outside the window. The fourth brother of Er has already moved to the capital, and there are pilgrims outside the gate of Zhang's mansion, and the fourth brother is a powerful disciple, and he is really immortal!"
"It's just a trick! I only sigh at how many foolish people are, and the rebels of all generations have done things with ghosts and gods, and all because of this." Zhang Mao said awe-inspiringly.
Zhang Maoxiu's embarrassing performance made Zhang Juzheng quite appreciative, but unfortunately now that the fourth son Haoyue is empty, only the third son of Firefly Light can only give up.
"That's it! Si'er will show your skills to everyone to see, so that some people will sit in the well and watch the sky, and Yelang will be arrogant!"
Daddy told him, and he naturally did so. Manifesting in front of people, Zhang Jian is familiar with the road. After a set of processes, the expressions of the several brothers present changed quite excitingly.
"Today, under the Zhengyang Gate, I watched the fourth brother's immortal method from a distance, and I was shocked! This close view is even more breathtaking! My Jiangling Zhang family has four younger brothers, how fortunate it is!"
The person who praised it was Zhang Jianxiu's second brother Zhang Sixiu, his honest and simple face was full of sincerity, and the second brother in his memory had always been silent, elegant in his manners, quite gentlemanly, and never ridiculed because of his predecessor.
The most profound memory of the second brother's predecessor is that three years ago, Chun Yu won the top spot in one fell swoop. And the eldest brother Zhang Jingxiu, who was boastful of the imperial examination with his second brother, was named Sun Shan.
"The second brother is falsely praised, the younger brother is gifted and dull, he will not give up by the master, he will be accepted as a disciple of his own family, and he will pass on the immortal law on his head, so that he has today!" Zhang Jianxiu said politely.
"The fourth brother's words are wrong, the fourth brother of my four brothers is the most talented, only the immortals fancy the reason for it, and give the Dharma protector fairy bird Yellow Bird, I seem to see the fourth brother in the future demon disaster like the ancient Yellow Emperor cut through thorns and thorns, and the people are hanging!" The eldest brother Zhang Jingxiu knelt on the ground and waved his long sleeves, saying shamelessly, without a trace of discomfort of betraying his brother on his face.
Zhang Jianxiu let out a hehe laugh indifferently, but he didn't answer the chatterbox, but the eldest brother Zhang Jingxiu was interested in laughing awkwardly, and he didn't show the slightest displeasure on his face.
"The fourth brother is the most powerful, this immortal method is really magical, can I learn it?" Twelve-year-old Zhang Yunxiu asked innocently, a pair of clear eyes mixed with a hint of cunning.
The sixth brother Zhang Yunxiu is a big ghost, and his biological mother Xu is the young lady of the Xu family in Huating, Songjiang Mansion, and has a peerless reputation as a pearl in Huating County because of her beauty.
However, this Xu family is favored by Zhang Juzheng, but he often confronts Zhang Jianxiu's biological mother, Wang Zhengfeng, and Zhang Yunxiu is naturally disdainful of his predecessor by his mother's impression.
Now that the fourth brother is awesome, he wants to learn the fairy method, and he dreams like a fart, Zhang Jianxiu pretended to take two handfuls on his head, and said with regret on his face: "Sixth brother, you have no spiritual roots, and it is difficult to be immortal."
Zhang Yunxiu grew up with a golden medicine spoon in his mouth since he was a child, and he was used to it, and when he first heard about the fairy road, it was broken before he stepped on it, and his young and fragile heart could be hit, and he howled and cried.
"Little Liuzi, don't cry. Daddy and Er generally have no spiritual roots. Not only does my father have no father, but I am afraid that only the fourth brother has a spiritual root in the millions of people in this Jingshi, so don't be too sad. Fourth Brother Er only said that it is difficult, and the difficulty is not that there is no way out, there are thorns on the road, and it is cut open!"
vulgar
It is said that parents love their young sons, and the big guy Zhang Juzheng is not exempt from vulgarity, and while the father Zhang Juzheng lovingly wiped his nose and tears with his long sleeves, his eyes frantically hinted at Zhang Jianxiu.
Zhang Jianxiu is close to the age of establishment, so he naturally won't worry too much about a child.
"What my father said is good, big, big, heavenly, one of them, all things in life. Those who do not have spiritual roots can enter the Dao of martial arts, and the day after tomorrow can return to the innate and embark on the path of immortality!"
Zhang Jian Xiuyi was running the train with words, and no matter how the road was passed, it didn't matter. You must know that in this martial arts world, how difficult it is to be congenital, the ceiling of combat power is clear, and it is about to enter the ground, and it has not yet broken through the innate realm.
In this way, the train track on this mouth is still quite long, and it is generally difficult to overturn.
In addition, now the Ming society is at its peak, and the martial arts are not obvious. Zhang Jianxiu hopes to change the social atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty through this.
I didn't think that everyone is like a dragon, at least there is a martial style, after all, the war depends on people, how can a group of sheep defeat the jackal-like Western bandits.
"Enlighten your father, Yun Xiu wants to practice martial arts and cultivate immortals, and I hope that my father will complete it!"
When Zhang Yunxiu heard this, he immediately bowed to Zhang Juzheng, and his fat face showed a look of hope.
Zhang is allowed to be talented and intelligent, if there is no Yang Fan to cross over and become Zhang Jian, he will definitely take the road of the imperial examination, and abandon the literature and follow the martial arts, which is the way out for the disciples of the clan who are reckless or difficult to train in the current Ming family.
Zhang Juzheng pinched a strand of his beard and smiled for a moment, "Get up, my father promised you about this." It's just that the Zhang family doesn't have a good martial arts method at present, so you have to ask the fourth brother to find a good martial arts method for you."
The top family of the Ming Dynasty, the Jiangling Zhang family, does not have a good martial arts method? When these words came out of Zhang Juzheng's mouth, outsiders didn't believe it.
But Zhang Jianxiu really understood Zhang Juzheng's hard work. The Zhang family is a noble family, and the collection of top martial arts in the clan pays more attention to speed.
The purpose is to make the master in batches for the use of the family, and the masters of this kind of mass manufacturing are not only difficult to become the top because of the dark damage to the foundation, but also easy to die early.
So what? In the eyes of the high-ranking family, these dead soldiers are like the wine and food of their own land, and they will be replaced after cutting a batch.
As long as the right status of one's own family is still there, it can be replenished at any time, in this feudal era, the most worthless thing is human life,
The most valuable thing is human life.
The lives of the people are cheap, but the lives of the people are precious! It is impossible for Zhang Ju to let his baby son practice life-consuming good martial arts, and if he wants to learn to naturally practice solid foundation and peiyuan, it is easy to return to the innate good martial arts.
The so-called two masters don't bother with anything, and the fourth son of his own family has already stood at the forefront of the rivers and lakes, and the two ways of righteousness and demons have bowed down to obey orders. As an immortal cultivator himself, Zhang Juzheng couldn't think of anyone who chose martial arts more clearly than him.
Zhang Juzheng said while hinting to the sixth son frantically, and the smart Zhang Yunxiu immediately got up and pulled Zhang Jianxiu's sleeve and said cutely: "My dearest fourth brother, there is a way to go into battle father and son soldiers, fight tiger brothers, Xiao Liu'er wants to follow the fourth brother to cultivate immortals and eliminate demons, the fourth brother can't do without Xiao Liu!"
"Xiao Liu'er said it very well, the brothers work together to break the gold, and I hope that the fourth brother will ignore the past suspicions and give guidance!" The boss Zhang Jingxiu was unaware of the shame of betraying the revolutionary camp, and looked like a licking dog waiting for a bone reward.
"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, how can there be no second brother for such a thing as eliminating demons and guarding the Dao, and I hope that the fourth brother will give advice!" Zhang Sixiu's speaking level is obviously much higher, and he is worthy of being from the Hanlin Academy.
At this time, Zhang Maoxiu, who was sitting on the ground, was full of changes and wonders in a short period of time, seven points of jealousy mixed with a hint of exclamation, and three points of unwillingness mixed with wisps of depression.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and kowtowed to Zhang Jianxiu, and cried loudly: "Fourth brother, third brother is confused, third brother is blind, I don't know the true face of the immortal, only because of my shallow knowledge. The fourth brother is really immortal, and I hope to forgive the third brother this time."
Zhang Maoxiu is really ruthless, a few heads are bruised on his forehead, and there is already a trace of blood oozing out, and he has the posture of knocking to death if he doesn't forgive, which makes Zhang Jianxiu stunned.
After a short period of retrieval he found that his father and the rest of the brothers were looking at him, and at this time he held on to it and looked like a small family, although he intuitively felt that the third brother on the ground was not convinced, but he was immortal
The character has to be maintained.
So Zhang Jianxiu simply forgave this ruthless third brother. Next, the brothers, friends, brothers, brothers, fathers, sons, filial piety, and happy and warm dramas were naturally staged, and the first rich and strong immortal cultivation conference of the Zhang family was successfully concluded.
During this period, Zhang Jianxiu recommended everyone to practice the martial arts of the Huashan School, and by the way, recommended Yue Buqun as a tutor, and the personal tutor of the Shoufu family was more valuable than the nominal Jinyi Wei Qianhu promised before, presumably the official fan Lao Yue would gladly accept it.
Zhang Jianxiu also had an unexpected gain at this conference, the second brother of the Hanlin Academy told Zhang Jianxiu that there were a large number of Taoist classics hidden in the Wenyuan Pavilion, which made Zhang Jianxiu, who was suffering from the lack of Taoist classics and could not meet the requirements for transfer, very happy.
After a baptism of family ethics drama, Zhang Jianxiu returned to his study and finished the copy. The bright moon outside the window, the clear light pours for thousands of miles, and the long night is long, which is a good time to practice.
"Young Master, Miss Dongfang over there in the ice room asked when you would come over?" You You asked respectfully outside the house.
