Chapter 200: The Great Feast
The news that Mrs. Zhang Yun gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus yesterday quickly spread in the capital.
This is like a storm, which quickly spreads and becomes a topic of conversation after dinner.
Imperial Palace.
Wan Li sat on the dragon chair, and Feng Bao stood respectfully aside.
"Feng Daban, what reward do you say I will give Zhang Yun?" Wanli casually doubled his folds and smiled at Feng Bao.
Feng Bao chuckled, and then said in a thin voice: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang's son has already shaded thousands of households, why don't you give his daughter a reward as well?" ”
"Okay, how about I take her as a righteous daughter?"
Feng Bao nodded with a smile, and then yelled outside.
"Xiao Weizi, don't hurry in and listen to the errand."
As soon as he finished speaking, a eunuch dressed in red ran in.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the slave is here."
Wei Zhongxian was sweating profusely and had a smile on his face.
"You go to Zhang's Mansion for me."
"Minions, let's go."
He immediately received the decree from Wanli.
Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to stay when he got the holy decree, so he called two or three junior brothers and ran directly towards Zhang's mansion.
At this time, Zhang's mansion was surrounded by Zhang Yun's old department, and many people came to congratulate Zhang Yun.
However, because the child is too young to see the wind and cold, he naturally stays with his mother in the house.
Zhang Yun was talking to the rest of the guests in the living room.
He sat on the main seat, and the rest of the people sat equally on the side.
"Hahaha... Congratulations to you for winning the dragon and phoenix. Han Cheng smiled with a smile.
"Yes, yesterday we just walked on the front foot, and Mrs. gave birth to the young lady and the young master in the middle of the night."
Zhang Yun smiled and nodded, then waved generously and said, "Go back today and add another meat dish to the brothers' meal." ”
"Then I'll thank you for my brothers."
While a few people were talking, Wei Zhongxian came in with a holy decree.
"Chang Ningbo, take the order." Wei Zhongxian smiled slightly and said in a sharp voice.
Everyone in the house did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly knelt down to accept the order.
Wei Zhongxian unfolded the holy decree in his arms and began to read it slowly.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:
Chang Ningbo's daughter, Zhang Zhu, is smart and clever, and I am very happy.
Remembering her father's meritorious service to the country, I hereby accept her as a righteous daughter and be named the county lord of Changning.
Chin this. ”
"Minister, Zhang Yun thanked the emperor." Zhang Yun smiled and took the holy decree.
"Come, get some silver taels for your father-in-law."
"I can't do it, I can't do it." Wei Zhongxian pretended to prevaricate.
After collecting the money, Wei Zhongxian wanted to leave.
"Father-in-law, do you want to have a glass of wine before leaving?" Zhang Yun said with a smile.
"No, no, the little one has to go back and return to the emperor quickly, it's not good if it's late."
Zhang Yun saw that he had made up his mind to go, so he didn't keep it anymore, and called a subordinate to let him send Wei Zhongxian outside the house.
"Grandpa Wei, I won't send you, be careful on the road."
"I can save it, I can save it."
Wei Zhongxian saluted Zhang Yun and withdrew.
"Congratulations, congratulations." Several subordinates hurriedly surrounded him.
"Let's get here today, and when the child is full moon, I will definitely get drunk with you."
Several people bowed to Zhang Yun and retreated.
Zhang Yun came to Xu Xi's room with the holy decree in his hand.
At this time, Xu Xi was lying quietly on the bed with a faint smile on his face.
Zhang's mother hugged Zhang Liang and teased her.
"Xi'er, Liang'er looked like a stinky boy when he was a child, this nose and these eyes are exactly the same." Mother Zhang smiled at Xu Xi.
"What's the matter, it's still so young, how can my mother-in-law see it."
"What can you see?"
Zhang Yun pushed the door and walked in, and happened to hear Xu Xi talking.
"Mother-in-law said that Liang'er is like you." Xu Xi covered his mouth and laughed softly.
Zhang Yun didn't care, he lay directly on the bed, and stayed with Zhang Zhu happily.
"Husband, don't make trouble, the child is going to sleep." Xu Xi blocked.
Zhang Yun smiled, and then touched his head.
"Husband, what are you holding in your hand?" Xu Xi noticed the things in Zhang Yun's hand and asked suspiciously.
Zhang Yun chuckled, and then took it out and handed it to Xu Xi.
Xu Xi slowly unfolded, and covered his mouth in shock after reading it.
"It's true?!" Xu Xi asked tentatively.
"Of course, this is a holy decree, I have a few heads, and I dare to cheat."
Xu Xi looked at Zhang Zhu dotingly and quipped: "Now this little guy is the most noble person in our family." ”
"You are the most honorable person in our family." Zhang Yun stroked Xu Xi's cheek and laughed softly.
The month of January has passed in a hurry.
In a blink of an eye, it came to the full moon day of Zhang Yun's child.
On that day, Zhang Yun and Xu Xi got up early in the morning, and Xu Xi was able to move freely after a month of recovery.
It was January, just after Chinese New Year's Eve, and the remains of firecrackers could still be seen faintly on the streets.
Zhang's Mansion, as the protagonist of this banquet, has become the focus of the entire street since a week ago.
The entire street was lit up, and in the morning, despite the snowstorm, there was still a steady stream of visitors.
Around Zhang's house, the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums resounded in the sky for a long time.
Zhang Yun looked at the endless stream of guests and secretly had a headache.
dragged Xu Xi to meet a few coffee stalls, and then retreated to the house.
"Come, lady, put this on, don't freeze." Zhang Yun put on a cotton robe for Xu Xi.
"I've also practiced martial arts, how can I be so squeamish."
"Aren't I afraid that you will fall ill."
Zhang Yun hugged Xu Xi and asked with concern.
As he spoke, his hand kept moving downward.
"No, it's daytime." Xu Xi grabbed Zhang Yun's hand.
"That means it's night."
"Hmm." Xu Xi blushed and hummed softly.
That delicate appearance made Zhang Yun's heart feel hot.
"Ahh Xu Xi let out an exclamation, and Zhang Yun directly hugged her neck and kissed her passionately.
The two had not been intimate for many days, and after a short hesitation, Xu Xi immediately responded to Zhang Yun enthusiastically.
After a long time, the two slowly let go.
"Huhuhuhu......" Zhang Yun gasped heavily, looked at Xu Xi, who was flushed, and wanted to continue the attack.
"No way!" Xu Xi regained some of his senses and hurriedly stopped.
"I'll have to meet the guests later."
Zhang Yun smiled, then got up and sorted out his clothes with Xu Xi.
After the two of them calmed down, they walked towards the hall.
"You two are here." Mother Zhang looked at the two of them late, with a bit of reproach in her tone.
"Aren't I afraid that my mother will be frozen?" Zhang Yun replied with a smile.
"It's good that you know, if my daughter-in-law has three long and two short, I can't spare you."
Zhang Yun touched his head and smiled.
Zhang's mother pulled Xu Xi over and asked her to sit on the chair, for fear that she would be tired.
Then he turned to Zhang Yun and said, "You go and greet those guests yourself, and our female dependents are here to accompany your wife." ”
Zhang Yun bowed to his mother, and then went to greet the guests.
Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Yun stood at the door, and high-ranking officials kept coming, of course, the big fish that surprised him the most had to be Zhang Chucheng.
"Uncle, look at you, you still have a long way to go."
"Hahaha... Can I come and see my nephew? Zhang Chucheng said with a smile.
His current full name is already the Imperial History of the Right Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Governor of Shandong.
It is already half a step away from entering the cabinet.
Zhang Yun and Zhang Jingxiu hurriedly welcomed him in.
"Han Cheng, Zhao Hu, you guys are watching here for me first."
After that, Zhang Yun took Zhang Chucheng to the living room.
At this time, there were many officials standing in the room, but none of them were as official as Zhang Chucheng.
Zhang Yun was afraid that a few people would not be comfortable talking, so he took Zhang Chucheng to the side hall.
"Uncle, what's going on in Qingdao?"
After sitting down, Zhang Yun asked.
"Hahaha... You're in a hurry, so you have to let me have a cup of tea. ”
"Yes, yes, it's that I'm too anxious."
Zhang Chucheng took a sip of tea and exclaimed, "Good tea." ”
Then, he said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, Qingdao is developing very well now, and it is estimated that you will be shocked when you go back now." ”
"Now his income is almost as big as a house."
After hearing this, Zhang Yun smiled and said: "Then the little nephew will congratulate my uncle first, with this political achievement, I think it is not impossible for my uncle to go further." ”
"One step further?"
Zhang Chucheng muttered in a low voice, if you go any further, it will be a cabinet entry, and no one in the entire Ming Dynasty who wants to be called a pavilion elder wants to be called.
As soon as he thought of this, a trace of heat flashed in Zhang Chucheng's eyes.
"Then I'll borrow the good words of my nephew."
The three of them played again, and the sky gradually darkened.
"Master, everyone is almost there, it's time to have a banquet." A family member came to report.
After hearing this, Zhang Yun slowly got up and smiled at Zhang Chucheng: "Uncle, let's go." ”
Zhang Chucheng got up and smiled slightly, and followed Zhang Yun to the chairman.
This banquet was divided into two courts, the outer courtyard was full of inconsequential people, the middle and senior officers under Zhang Yun in the inner courtyard, and many fourth-grade officials.
As for the inside, they were all people who were extremely close to Zhang Yun.
Zhang's mother sat on the main seat, Zhang Chucheng sat beside Zhang's mother with high morality, and the whole banquet was carried out happily.
The sergeants of the Changning Army naturally couldn't drink the northwest wind, and Zhang Yun had already ordered people to bring them the wine and meat, and let them indulge themselves tonight.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Chucheng was slightly drunk and smiled at Zhang's mother: "I can't drink enough, so I'll go back first." ”
"You eat and you eat."
Mother Zhang wanted to stop her, but Zhang Yun got up and said with a smile: "Mother, uncle still has something to do, we can't delay other people's big things." ”
"Yes, yes, you are the governor of a province."
After Zhang Chucheng left the table, he ate for about half an hour, and then Zhang Yun ordered the seat to be removed.
By this time, it was completely dark outside.
"Let's all go back, be careful of slippery roads on the road."
Han Cheng and the others bowed to Zhang Yun, and then left.
After Zhang Yun saw everyone leaving, he rubbed his hands and returned to the room.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Xu Xi sitting on the eaves of the bed with a blushing face.
"Lady, let's rest early."
"Hmm."
Subsequently, Zhang Yun blew out the lights.
