Li Zhi stood at the door of Zhang's mansion in a whitewashed robe, hesitated for a long time, and did not really step towards the gate of Zhang's house.

The disciples of the Zhang family have long noticed Li Zhi, but today is the birthday of the old man, and seeing what Li Zhi is wearing, he is not a beggar of the disaster victims, so they don't want to do much!

"May I ask if it's Li Zhi Li Gongzi?" A maid jumped out of the door, and after looking left and right, she found Li Zhi standing outside the gate of the mansion.

Li Zhi nodded.

"Li Gongzi, my aunt is already waiting for you! Why are you here at this time? The maid received an affirmative reply, and suddenly said with some complaint in her mouth.

"Just here, just here." Li Zhi's eyes were a little evasive, and he said an excuse that made him feel suitable.

"Don't delay! My aunt is still waiting for you! The maid didn't care whether Li Zhi agreed or not, and directly pulled Li Zhi to Zhang's house.

Menzi knew this maid himself, and when he heard what the maid said just now, he couldn't help but look at Li Zhi a few more times.

Li Zhi was looked at by Menzi's eyes, he was a little uncomfortable, raised his cuffs, lightly blocked his face, and said in his mouth: "Girl, I'll go by myself!" Men and women don't kiss! ”

Menzi couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Li Zhi's words.

Following the maid in Zhang's mansion, Li Zhi had a very uncomfortable feeling, in fact, it was not that he wanted to come today, but that he had to come!

The aunt in Zhang's mansion, to put it bluntly, is a concubine, a cousin of his aunt, and she is almost a relative who can't beat him!

I have never interacted with each other in the past, at most I have only met him at his aunt's house, she can marry into the Zhang family, it is really climbing a high branch, and the sparrow has become a phoenix!

It is said that being a concubine for others should be a lord with no status, but his distant relative has a stomach fight and adds a little to the house, plus the Zhang family is from the military, but he doesn't have a lot of cold to the civil official's concubine like a thing, so his distant relative is also good in the Zhang family!

The reason why he came was not because of this distant relative in the house, after all, there had been no movement between the two!

The actual reason is that his aunt found him and gave him ten taels of silver to encourage him to study hard, Li Zhi felt flattered at first, even though he said that he would study hard and would not disappoint his aunt's love, but the final result was that his aunt's cousin wanted to ask him to do something.

Zhang Tianlu, the third son of the Zhang family, was on an errand in the Qingying camp and knew that Li Zhi and Qin Yu had a good relationship, so he thought about asking Li Zhi to help say something good in front of Qin Yu to see if he could help Zhang Tianlu raise his position!

This kind of thing, in fact, whether to do it or not, for the Zhang family, it doesn't seem to be very important, really to pave the way for Zhang Tianlu, the energy of the Zhang family is naturally much more than the energy of her concubine, just because Li Zhi is more related to her, she wants to improve her status in the Zhang family through this matter, so that the Zhang family will pay more attention to her, or pay more attention to her son!

In fact, the ten taels of silver that were given out were also saved by the concubine's food and clothing!

If Li Zhi hadn't accepted the ten taels of silver, I'm afraid he would have been able to refuse outright, but unfortunately he accepted it!

It's still a happy harvest!

Let him return the money, he can't do it! I can't do it!

One is poor, the other is how much his aunt will help him, and now that his aunt is begging him to do something, how can he say no?

It's just that after coming to the gate of Zhang's house, he regretted it a little!

Today is Zhang Yifan's birthday, although it is not a big birthday, but he is not prepared at all, how can he have the face to enter?

Even if he was prepared, what could he come up with?

Do you rely on the ten taels of silver?

"Qiao'er, you arrange Xiaozhi." Before they could enter the compound, a woman in her twenties pulled a two or three-year-old boy and beckoned them to get up.

Li Zhi saw the woman who had a little impression of the impression, so he arched his hand and said, "Cousin." ”

The woman nodded slightly, and then called out directly to the maid named Qiao'er.

"Hurry up! They'll be coming soon, sir! ”

The maid who brought Li Zhi in said that she understood, and immediately pulled Li Zhi into the compound.

This pair of relatives did not shout for warmth, did not greet politely, just like passers-by who nodded and intersected!

Li Zhi sighed heavily in his heart, and seemed to have expected this situation.

The maid called Qiao'er led Li Zhi into the compound, and almost the next moment she took Li Zhi around the 'root of the wall', feeling that she was not here to participate in the banquet, but like she was coming to be a thief.

In the end, Li Zhi was taken to a more remote table by Qiao'er, Li Zhi took a deep breath, but he didn't mean to thank him at all.

Looking at the table of several people dressed up in the rivers and lakes, Li Zhi would not think that the people at this table were people who had much friendship with Zhang Yifan, the master of the Zhang family!

And his status is only to be able to sit with these people!

Li Zhi had a few resentments in his heart, and he was pressed down by him, and finally chose to stay at this table.

"Little brother, look at you like this, you are a scholar?" Someone couldn't help but talk and asked Li Zhi.

Li Zhi didn't want to take his anger out on the few people in front of him, and when he heard someone asking, he nodded his head, which was considered to be over.

"Tsk, does this owner also want to be vassal? Invite a reader to come over? Seeing Li Zhi nodding, the person who asked just now was interested.

"Little brother, we are being performed by the master's family, playing tricks, what about you? Is it to write a picture of the pine crane to extend the life of the master, or to write the word 'longevity'? ”

Li Zhi's hands under the table were clenched together, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I have some kinship with the main family. ”

Hearing Li Zhi's answer, no one at the table spoke, and they all closed their mouths in amusement.

The relatives of the main family have been reduced to the same table as their gang of showmans, and if you want to say that this is because the main family values them, even if they lack a hundred hearts, they will not think so!

The scene was a little cold, but Li Zhi was like a fish in his throat, he should have shirked it if he knew this!

Fortunately, this embarrassment that made people embarrassed did not last long, Zhang Yifan, the old man of the Zhang family, walked into the compound with a smile, and after saying thank you to all the visitors with a smile, he beckoned people to serve the food and let everyone eat and drink well.

Watching the dishes on the table, Li Zhi comforted himself, even if he came over to open meat today!

After the five dishes were served, Li Zhi didn't eat much, and he couldn't grab a table of 'rough people', their table was really clean!

As we waited for the next dish to be served, a voice rang out.

"Dad, I'm back!"

Everyone looked at the gate of the compound, and Zhang Tianlu appeared there with a bag of things and a smile.

Seeing Zhang Tianlu appear, Zhang Yifan's face was slightly ugly, but with so many people present, he didn't have a good seizure, so he had to ask, "Aren't you on an errand in Qingying?" How did you get back? ”

"Dad, I'm on leave! Today's father, your birthday, can I not come back? ”

Hearing that Zhang Tianlu specially asked for leave to come back to congratulate Zhang Yifan on his birthday, everyone exaggerated that Tianlu had filial piety.

Zhang Yifan's face is also much better, he is afraid that Zhang Tianlu will secretly run out of the Qingying!

If it was in the past, he didn't care much about how Zhang Tianlu acted, but now it is different, Qingying has a new look, a new atmosphere, and a faint posture of the prince's personal guard, Zhang Yifan will naturally be interested in Zhang Tianlu.

"Dad, I wish you a day every year, a day every year! This is a birthday gift for you! ”

Zhang Tianlu walked up to Zhang Yifan, and after giving him a birthday greeting, he immediately presented the things he was carrying.

"I have a heart!" Zhang Yifan said with a smile, as for what birthday gift Zhang Tianlu gave him, he didn't care much, his son could give him a long face in front of so many people, it was enough to have this.

"Dad, take a look! I've got a good deal here! ”

Zhang Tianlu said in front of Zhang Yifan with some ostentatiousness, and everyone was a little looking forward to it when they heard it.

"Lao Zhang, look at what good things my little nephew has prepared for you! Let's also open our eyes! Someone coaxed, judging from the title, this person has a close relationship with Zhang Yifan.

Zhang Yifan smiled and said, "What good things can this kid give me?" But the child's mind, I saw it! ”

Zhang Yifan was reluctant to open the things sent by Zhang Tianlu in front of everyone, because he was afraid that the things sent by the third son would be too inferior and made people look down on him, and he was also worried that the things would be bad, and he would lose face in front of everyone.

"Dad, don't worry! What I got is definitely the only one in Lin'an, and even Houqin! You won't be disappointed! ”

Zhang Tianlu obviously didn't understand what Zhang Yifan meant, and thought that his father was looking down on him, so he immediately began to brag.

"Oh? That's an eye-opener! ”

Zhang Tianlu's words really whetted everyone's appetite, and few people even looked at the food on the table.

Zhang Yifan also looked at Zhang Tianlu with his eyes, and he still knew one thing about his son, that is, he was honest in his words! I wouldn't say that it's the kind of person who talks nonsense!

Now that I can say such things, even if there is a little moisture in it, there is really something in it.

It's just that this kid is on an errand in Qingying, not in that kind of place where there is plenty of oil and water, Zhang Yifan can't help but have an extra heart!

"Is that really a good thing?" Zhang Yifan confirmed again.

Zhang Yifan nodded again and again, and said proudly: "Dad, don't worry!" I've only seen this kind of thing in Qingying, and I've never even heard of it outside! It's still a lot of trouble for me to get this thing back to honor you! ”

"Humph! I didn't hurt you in vain! Zhang Yifan also smiled heartily when he heard Zhang Tianlu say this.

If his son really got something that no one had ever seen before and came to congratulate him on his birthday, then he would have a big face in front of everyone today!

"Demolished!"

Hearing Zhang Yifan's order, Zhang Yifan's eldest son immediately started to move.

He was also curious about what Zhang Yifan had gotten, and he was so mysterious!

The red wrapping paper was removed, revealing the contents wrapped inside, and when everyone saw the object, they couldn't help but be surprised: "What is this?" ”
