This group of people is Zhang Daxiang and others who rushed back to Chang'an from Anzhou. Zhang Daxiang expected it to be good, and Zhang Gongjin sent him a letter a year ago.

mainly said three things, one is that Zhang Gongjin used the power in his hands to find an errand for Zhang Daxiang in the household department.

The second is that Zhang Zheng will perform the crown ceremony after the Shangyuan Festival. And the third thing is that the child in Zhang Daxiang's hand went back to Chang'an to hold a 100-day banquet.

After receiving Zhang Gongjin's letter, Zhang Daxiang handed over the work in hand as quickly as possible and took his wife and children to Chang'an.

Originally, if you took the Grand Canal, it would naturally be much faster. Unexpectedly, it snowed heavily in the north, and the entire northern section of the Grand Canal was frozen.

Halfway through, I had no choice but to turn overland. In fact, the land route was muddy, Zhang Daxiang hurried to slow down, and only entered Tongguan on the day of the Shangyuan Festival.

And the day of Zhang Zheng and the crown is tomorrow, it seems that Zhang Daxiang will not be able to catch up. …… One night was a very long time, and Zhang Zheng never thought that one night would be so difficult.

The feeling of cold and hunger hit at the same time, almost torturing Zhang Zheng to madness. However, Qiao Anhao was still very conscientious, and stayed at the door of the ancestral hall for a moment, for fear of losing Zhang Zheng.

"Brother Qiao, you can do well, enjoy some food!" Zhang Zheng's pleading voice came from the ancestral hall.

Qiao An's face was full of helplessness, this Xiao Langjun had been shouting for most of the night, wasn't he tired? But where the duty lies, he still hardened his heart and replied to Zhang Zheng, who couldn't stop pleading in the ancestral hall: "Brother Zheng'er, it's not that I don't give it to you, it's mainly that the old man has explained, and the etiquette can't be abolished." Zhang Zheng continued to plead: "I'm going to starve to death, Brother Qiao, don't you really have a little compassion?" "Don't say that Zhang Zheng is about to go crazy, Qiao Anhao is about to be tortured by Zhang Zheng and is about to go crazy.

Since nightfall, Zhang Zheng has begged a few words from time to time. At first, they begged softly, but Qiao An ignored him and threatened him.

Seeing that the intimidation threats were useless, they began to sell miserably again!

"You forgot that you were in the army, and I also sent you wine, oops, there is no good reward for kindness!" Listening to Zhang Zheng's magic voice, the corners of Qiao Anhao's eyes couldn't stop twitching.

"You really don't give it?" Zhang Zheng's tone suddenly changed, and he began to threaten again. Joan spit out a sentence stiffly like a machine: "Etiquette must not be wasted!" ”

"Okay, let's see how I clean you up when I come out!" …… Zhang Zheng's voice fell silent, Qiao An couldn't help but pat his head and muttered: "It's finally stopped!" In the second half of the night, when everything was silent, Zhang Zheng quietly turned his head and looked at Qiao Anhao through the crack in the door.

Then he held his breath and listened to Qiao Anhao's even breathing outside the door into the ancestral hall, and a cheap smile suddenly appeared on his face.

I had long known that the crown ceremony would have to fast for three days, so how could Zhang Zheng be unprepared. He had been disturbing Qiao An's good spirit before, for this moment.

"Brother Qiao, Brother Qiao?" shouted softly twice, but without hearing Qiao An's answer, Zhang Zheng's courage grew.

Zhang's is also a gate valve, and the gate valve is the most important ancient ceremony. Therefore, Zhang Zheng's three brothers have experienced this experience of fasting.

But who is Zhang Zheng, if he wants him to abide by the rules, is that possible? Even Li Shimin said that what he admires most about Zhang Zheng is that Zhang Zheng never plays cards according to common sense.

Therefore, it is impossible for Zhang Zheng to be stupid and go hungry for three days. After confirming that Qiao An was asleep, Zhang Zheng quietly got up and climbed onto the ancestor's tablet.

Then I took out a drinking pot and a food box from behind the tablet.

Zhang Zheng lightly hugged the food box and silver kettle and got off the table, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.

Quickly opened the food box, a golden roast chicken was lying quietly in the food box, and a lotus leaf was intimately padded under the roast chicken.

Zhang Zheng tore open the roast chicken and was about to eat it, but looked up at the row of ancestral tablets. After thinking about it, it didn't seem good for the ancestors to eat alone by themselves.

So he tore off the two chicken legs and placed them in the bowl in front of the tablet. I opened the silver kettle again, made a little grape wine for the ancestors, and filled myself with a glass.

Then he smiled with satisfaction and began to feast in front of the ancestors. Qiao An, who was standing outside the door, had a good nose and couldn't help frowning.

He just pretended to be asleep, but he didn't expect this young man to be really, hehehehe... Qiao An smiled bitterly and shook her head, looking at the sky that had lit up with a touch of fish belly white.

"Let's go, let him go...... "After all, they are brothers who grew up together, although they are not brothers, they are better than brothers."

Qiao Anhao, who grew up in the army since he was a child and attaches great importance to the rules, decided to turn a blind eye.

And Zhang Zheng in the house, after solving a roast chicken, always felt that there was something missing. Obviously, he had just finished eating a roast chicken, but looking at the two big chicken thighs in the bowl in front of him, he still subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Inside, ancestors, if you don't eat it, your grandson will eat it!" Zhang Zheng asked around the tablet one by one, and when he saw that the ancestors had no opinions, he ate the two big chicken legs in the bowl into his stomach.

After eating the chicken thighs and licking the oil on his fingers, Zhang Zheng finally felt satisfied, so he leaned on the futon and closed his eyes and began to take a nap.

Zhang Zheng was really hungry, you must know that Zhang Zheng didn't have a chance to hide things in the first two days. This roast chicken came back from Donggong Shun this morning, and then brought it in when Qiao An was not paying attention.

As for whether Qiao Anhao really didn't pay attention or fake, Zhang Zheng didn't bother to care. Hearing that there was no movement in the ancestral hall, Qiao Anhao gently pushed open the door of the ancestral hall.

With the help of the faint candlelight in the ancestral hall, I saw a mess of chicken bones in front of Zhang Zheng. couldn't help but shake his head again and smile bitterly, and then cleaned up the mess for Zhang Zheng.

put the chicken bones all over the ground into the food box, and then threw them into the next yard, whose house is the next yard, it seems to be the Cheng bite Jin family of the Suguo Mansion.

Whatever, it doesn't matter. The flask was received in his arms. Seeing that everything was back to its original state, Qiao Anhao gently withdrew from the ancestral hall.

However, what he didn't notice was that at the moment he closed the door, one of Zhang Zheng's eyes that had been half-squinting finally closed.

When the sky was slightly bright, Zhang Zheng woke up by himself without waiting for Qiao An to speak. After checking that there were no oil stains on his body, he took a few breaths into the palm of his hand and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.

didn't smell the smell of roast chicken, Zhang Zheng nodded with satisfaction. After fasting, he still needs to bathe, so Zhang Zheng opened the door of the ancestral hall from the inside.

When I came out, I saw Qiao Anhao looking at herself with teasing eyes. Zhang Zheng acted as if nothing had happened, and walked straight towards his small courtyard.
