For Zhang Zheng, the birth of his eldest nephew represents one more blood relative in this world.

If the eldest brother comes back to Chang'an to hold a birthday banquet for the eldest nephew, then count the days, and there will be no few months left.

What kind of gift should I prepare for my eldest nephew?

The three brothers crusaded against the eldest brother in a low voice, and by the way, what gifts should be prepared for the nephew at the nephew's first birthday banquet.

Zhang Gongjin, who was originally sitting on the side with his eyes closed, quietly pricked up his ears when he heard the three Zhang Zheng brothers muttering about the eldest grandson of Zhang's family.

And when the three brothers were guessing when Zhang Daxiang would take his eldest nephew back to Chang'an for the first birthday banquet, he also smiled on his face that was usually not smiling.

He is a very popular minister, the heirs of the family are prosperous, the sons are brothers, friends and brothers, and the family house is harmonious and stable.

At the age of forty, the eldest grandson was born.

The youngest son, who was naughty and the most difficult to discipline in previous years, is now beginning to be sensible, and he has an unpredictable ability, even His Majesty is also praised.

With such an achievement, what does he want in this life, and how can he not be proud.

"Eat, eat!"

The dignified and elegant Duchess Yuan, who is usually dignified and elegant, changed her normal behavior today and actually entered the main hall with the dishes in person.

When Yuan came in, a row of young maids, each with a plate in their hands, began to serve.

Zhang Gongjin has always disliked the rules, and Zhang Zheng is also very dissatisfied with the fact that the family has to divide the meal into several portions, so the family eats in the Guogong Mansion around a large round table.

The large round table is naturally Zhang Zheng's masterpiece, and this habit has lasted in Zhang's mansion for more than ten years.

The second eldest Zhang Dasu moved two chairs for Zhang Gongjin and Yuan's family, and said respectfully to Zhang Gongjin and Yuan's who were making vegetables on the side: "Father, mother, please sit down."

Zhang Gongjin nodded, sat down at the top position, and the Yuan family sat next to Zhang Gongjin.

Seeing that their parents were on the table, the three brothers pulled out their stools and sat down.

"By the way, I'll call Brother Qiao."

Zhang Zheng's ass just touched the stool, and he stood up again.

"No need, Weiniang has already sent someone to call An, oh, this is not coming!"

Yuan chuckled and snorted outside the main hall.

Zhang Zheng turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw Qiao Anhao, who was looking at him with a smile on his face, stepping into the door and walking towards the dining table.

"Brother Qiao, come over and eat."

Zhang Zheng pulled out a stool, Qiao Anhao sat down, and said to Zhang Zheng: "Brother Zheng'er, I was busy just now, so I didn't have time to pick you up." ”

"Haha, it's okay, let's eat."

Zhang Zheng laughed, he didn't care at all about whether Qiao An picked him up or not, it was boring for his family to say this.

Qiao An's status in the Guogong Mansion is very special, and when there is no task, he has a separate small courtyard in the Guogong Mansion.

And when Zhang Gongjin went out, he was Zhang Gongjin's personal guard.

can be regarded as Zhang Gongjin's half son, and can be regarded as Zhang Gongjin's successor.

As a child adopted by Zhang Gongjin in the army, although Zhang Gongjin never said that Qiao Anhao was his adopted son, the whole Zhang Mansion has always treated him as the fifth Langjun of Zhang Mansion.

The Yuan family also treats Qiao An as his own, and he never favors each other, and the four Zhang brothers also regard him as their own brother.

Although Zhang Zheng is called Qiao Anhao Qiao's eldest brother, in fact, Qiao Anhao's age is one year younger than the second Zhang Dasu, and now he is only eighteen years old.

Because none of the four Zhang Zheng brothers liked to dance with knives and guns, Zhang Gongjin passed on all his skills to Qiao Anhao.

In this era, master and apprentice are like father and son, not to mention that Qiao Anhao was raised by Zhang Gongjin, so Qiao Anhao has no sense of restraint in the face of Zhang Zheng's family.

"Now that everyone is here, let's eat."

With Zhang Gongjin's order, Zhang Dasu and Zhang Da'an couldn't wait to grab the chopsticks and start picking up the vegetables.

While eating, he complained that the local food was not for people to eat, and this time when he came back to Chang'an, when he returned after the festival, he must bring a few cooks from home.

From time to time, the Yuan family picks up vegetables for the four brothers who gobble up, and occasionally clips a chopstick for Zhang Gongjin.

……

One family, one meal. I ate it until it was dark.

It wasn't until the next person started a fire and removed the leftovers that Zhang Zheng took out a toothpick and began to pick his teeth.

After eating, Zhang Zheng accompanied his mother Yuan to talk about some common words.

Yuan suddenly remembered that her baby bird forgot to feed her today because she was waiting for Zhang Zheng to come home, and then hurriedly ran to feed her baby bird.

Zhang Gongjin took the four teenagers to the study and began to ask about the details of Zhang Zheng's experience of going to Jinyang.

Zhang Zheng began to narrate a series of events that happened after going to Jinyang.

Although the other people in the study already knew what Zhang Zheng did when he went to Jinyang.

However, the content of the letter is limited, and many things are brushed aside, and only the final result is achieved.

And the personal narration of the parties, with more processes and details, naturally listens to other people's feelings.

Some of the details Zhang Zheng told made the other brothers stunned.

Zhang Dasu said with some admiration:

"It's not easy, I only know that junior brother, you persuaded the Wang family to defect and accept the Mo family for your own use.

When I heard these two news, I applauded you. But I didn't expect that there was such a danger in it. ”

"Yes, it's really too risky, a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, and the younger brother must not be so reckless in the future."

Zhang Da'an shook his head, as if he didn't approve of Zhang Zheng's risky behavior at that time.

The two brothers said everything they said, and only Qiao Anhao listened to Zhang Zheng's narration quietly on the side.

Zhang Gongjin, on the other hand, closed his eyes and couldn't see what he was thinking.

When Zhang Zheng's voice fell, Zhang Gongjin pondered for a while, opened his eyes, and said to Zhang Zheng: "Yes, there are some things you do better than the old man thinks." ”

Zhang Zheng humbly accepted his father's praise, and showed an imperceptible smile on his face, extremely proud.

The trip to Jinyang and the visit to the Wang family can be called a god's pen.

Because of Wang's defection, its impact is far-reaching, and it is far from being as simple as solving the problem of teachers for the Tang Royal Academy.

This is only a small part of the reason.

At a deeper level, it can be summed up in two words: "Wind direction!" ”

Wang's defection set a ruthless wind direction for those wavering gate valves.

The power of example is endless, and it is conceivable that the future direction of many family gates and the plans within the family will also begin to adjust again with the defection of the Wang family.

The most important thing is that Zhang Zheng muddied the water.

If the social structure of the Tang Dynasty is a pool of water, then now the Wang family is the stick that stirs up the water.
