"I haven't asked this classmate Lin yet, what is the relationship between him and the second son of Lin?"

Zhang Zhou did not shy away from asking Lin Ting in person.

Lin Ting hesitated a little, and even glared at the person on the side, as if he was too talkative.

Although their impression of Zhang Zhou is not very good, they are from a scholarly family, and they have a lot of requirements for etiquette, and questioning others in public to provoke trouble is not allowed in ordinary etiquette.

Lin Tingdao: "Brother Lin, the name, the word Zihao, is a classmate in Beiyongnei, and he is a fellow villager in Xia. ”

Lin Ting actually didn't support his sister coming out to show up, but now Zhang Zhou's fame is too great, and when he was competing for poetry last time, Lin Yi was not allowed to participate in a lot of opinions.

This time, when my brother came to convey to Zhang Zhou what her father had entrusted her, she had to come.

"Lin Zihao, good name. Mr. Lin, you asked a very good question, why do you have to go to the competition if you don't have the heart to win or lose? Because...... People are forced to be in Shilin! ”

This time, not only the Lin Ting brothers and sisters, but even Zhu Feng finally moved his gaze from the person he intended to Zhang Zhou's face.

"In the literary competition, there is still a saying that you have to say?"

Lin Ting's smile didn't look so kind.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Isn't it? ”

"As Jiangnan Xie Yuan, I am just from a case tribute, so that wherever I go, I will become the attention of others. went to Beiyong to enroll, but was told that he was not allowed to see Lin Sacrifice Wine; When they went out to wait for someone, they were surrounded by people who asked for questions. When people sit at home, Tang Yin's ring is set up. ”

"I've repeatedly said I don't want to fight anyone, but does anyone listen to me?"

As soon as these words came out, even Lin Ting put away the lofty posture of "only I can see through everything in the turbid current".

Lin Yi, who was on the side, seemed to be in deep thought because of Zhang Zhou's words.

Zhang Zhou said helplessly: "You must also think that I appeared in a high-profile manner to attract people's attention, but have you ever thought that with my identity as Jiangnan Jieyuan, I will not take the exam now, and I shouldn't deliberately keep a low profile to avoid provoking more rights and wrongs?" ”

"Actually, I also want to prepare for the exam and go to high school as soon as possible, so that I don't have to think about studying anymore, whether it is a competition or socializing. The more low-key I am, the more others think I have a ghost in my heart, and the more they want to come to me for trouble, compare me to me, highlight their talents, and want me to collapse. ”

"I only appear once in a high-profile manner, so as to tell those who have the heart to challenge me that with my high profile, if you don't have high talent, the result of coming to me to challenge may ruin their reputation! And it is not possible to show it around with articles such as scriptures and opinions, but only to show people with knowledge outside the articles. ”

"The one who dares to ask the two, did I choose this way to show off, or did I have to do it?"

The two brothers and sisters of the Lin family couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the sympathy and understanding in each other's eyes.

Obviously, before they came, they didn't treat Zhang Zhou as a positive role, they just came to do a routine meeting and inform Zhang Zhou of what they wanted to say.

Now they know that Zhang Zhou is not only knowledgeable, but also first-class.

is stunned to explain a nonsense-sounding truth so touching and tearful, people can't help but empathize.

After hearing this, Zhu Feng was greatly moved and said: "I can testify to this, after Brother Zhang arrived in the capital, he bothered about court affairs, and he had no time to worry about his reputation, otherwise he would not have been so low-key after arriving in the capital." If it weren't for the fact that some people were too aggressive and deceived people, and even rumors were circulating that he was a person who sold his reputation and reputation, he would not have angrily launched a challenge to the northern scholars! ”

Zhang Zhou smiled helplessly and posed as an innocent person persecuted by the current situation.

At this time, he suddenly found that Zhu Feng's role could still be reflected, and when debating with others, Zhu Feng played a circumstantial role next to him, which might be more effective than what he said.

Zhang Zhoudao: "The two Lin brothers, in fact, also know that the two of them are both great talents, especially the second son of Lin, who was born in a famous family, so he naturally disdains to compete with people in the market in general, because the best competition rules in the world have not been set?" No matter how good the usual test results are, but the gold list has not won the title, what is the point? ”

This is called both flattering and quiet.

Lin Ting also praised this statement and sighed: "This is the case with literati, and the imperial examination is the true chapter." In the next place, I came to inform Zhang Jieyuan that I don't have to worry about being challenged academically when I enter Beiyong. My father actually let you enter Yong earlier. ”

Is it?

Your father wants me to enter the National Prison as soon as possible?

Zhang Zhou wanted to say, the last time I went, your father was obviously there, but he asked me to come back next time, what happened to make him have such a big psychological change?

Once when I entered the palace, I happened to run into him, could it be that the emperor summoned him to the palace because he mentioned something to him, so that he had to hurry to find me to enter the country's prison, right?

Zhang Zhou was now well aware of the emperor's trust in him.

Zhu Youzhi had already mentioned it to his face, and let Cheng Minzheng cultivate him, it was hard to guarantee that the emperor would not say the same thing to Lin Han before.

Zhang Zhou thought again that Lin Han deliberately drove him away before, and now he was embarrassed to come to him with a shy face, so he asked his son to come......

Lao Lin, you're such a wonder.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "I've been very busy recently, but I'm afraid I don't have time to study." ”

Lin Ting said: "That's okay, at least I'll do the matter of entering Yong first." ”

This time, Zhang Zhou has more confidence in his heart.

He didn't even insist on whether to go to school, he only asked to do the matter of admission first, probably Lin Han was very worried about going back to the emperor to inquire, but it turned out that Lin Han not only did not cultivate him, but also did not even allow him Zhang Zhou to go to Guozijian.

If the emperor knew that Zhang Zhou had gone to the Guozi Supervision Office to naturalize himself, he was driven away......

Knowing the opponent's hole cards, Zhang Zhou is a businessman, so he will naturally not be easy to comply.

It is unrealistic to ask Lao Lin to apologize to him, but if there is something else, it is worthy of Lao Zhang's slamming?

It's okay to talk about, right?

Zhang Zhou looked at Zhu Feng on the side, and said earnestly: "Jinyong, I haven't had time to spare recently, I've been very busy recently, and I know this point." I often enter the palace, not only to accompany the prince to study, but also to often go to Qingning Palace to see, and His Majesty has asked me to be responsible for the rebuilding of Qingning Palace. ”

"Huh?"

Rao is Lin Ting guessed that Zhang Zhou might come up with some excuses.

I didn't expect Zhang Zhoubian's excuse to be so nonsense.

Zhu Feng said: "That's true, today I went to invite Brother Zhang, and I learned that he entered the palace, so I could only ask people to wait at the gate of the palace, so I brought him here." ”

Lin Ting really couldn't listen to it.

If Zhang Zhou is lying alone, with Zhang Zhou's flamboyant character, he may be able to do it, isn't it just bragging? High-profile people probably like to do this kind of thing the most.

But if the little grandfather of the Chengguo Mansion lied with Zhang Zhou, it would still involve royal affairs......

How many heads does Zhu Feng have, dare to ridicule like this?

Zhang Zhoudao: "Sounds bizarre, right? Actually, I think it's outrageous, have you recently planted anti-acne medicine? ”

Lin Ting's brothers and sisters were frowning, not knowing why Zhang Zhou would mention this.

Lin Yi was still relatively upright, and she nodded: "It's planted." ”

Zhang Zhou smiled and said in his heart that female classmates had no scheming.

Think about it again, are female classmates so honest these years? Maybe it's because women in this era study and rarely communicate with outsiders, if this female classmate communicates more with others, it will probably be sublimated.

"This matter is being handled by the subordinates." Zhang Zhoudao.

Lin Ting said with relief: "No wonder! ”

Zhang Zhou didn't mention any prophecy of fire, or even predicting that the little princess would have acne to scare the two brothers and sisters, and said that the pox was enough to explain his entry into the palace.

Zhang Zhoudao: "So you also know why Zai Xia is so busy, right?" ”

Lin Ting's face was complicated, he originally thought that the other party was just a high-profile scholar, but it turned out that people didn't bother to be a scholar at all, and the high-profile was purely to dispel the idea of others to challenge.

"I don't have any leisure, it won't take much time to get into Yong, and it's not a few steps away from Beiyong, so it's better to go?" Lin Ting proposed.

Zhang Zhou shook his head: "I'm going to go to someone to discuss the procurement of medicinal materials soon, the errand of the imperial court, especially the errand of the Qin order, how can I be slack?" I'm going to hurry up on my way to tell you this! ”

Zhu Feng looked at Zhang Zhou.

I'm still curious, aren't you going back to your wife and children to hot the kang? Actually going to procure medicinal herbs?

Oh.

Liar, huh?

"Yes, Brother Zhang has been very busy recently, and he has to purchase medicinal materials, which is a major event involving the epidemic in Beijing." Zhu Feng has also learned to be smart.

Those who praise must have the consciousness of praise.

Whatever Zhang Zhou said, he just followed it on the side.

Lin Ting didn't expect that Zhang Zhou would use the imperial mission to pressure him, and all the plans he had planned before fell through.

Lin Yi on the side didn't have any tasks on her side, she just followed her brother to meet Zhang Zhou, who had made a name for herself in the literary competition of the Teahouse, and she asked obsessively: "The epidemic of Jingshi, you really prevented it?" You...... How did you find out about that medicine? What's that? ”

Zhang Zhou smiled.

Female classmate, you have a lot of questions, when you are curious about what the baby does?

Does this have anything to do with you?

"How many, then let's say goodbye first?" Zhang Zhou got up and arched his hand.

It means that this time there really can't be delayed.

Lin Ting may also realize that Zhang Zhou is just pushing the tide, and he may not really want to do the emperor's errand, but since Zhang Zhou mentioned that he is the emperor's errand, he really has nothing to do.

Lin Ting said: "Zhang Jieyuan, I don't know much about what errands you are doing for the imperial court, but I hope you can find time to complete the matter of entering Yong." In addition, I would like to remind you that Tang Yin Tang Bohu, who tried to rank in Yayuan in Jiangnan Township, has been to Beiyong twice recently, and he wants to see you by name, he is not looking for you to compete, but saying that he wants to discuss the poem with you. ”

"What's there to say about that poem?"

"I don't know below, but if you think about it, if you can get rid of your past suspicions, it may also be a good story in the literary world. Don't bother under it, farewell! ”

Lin Ting didn't wait for Zhang Zhou to take the initiative to leave, he proposed it himself.

This will make the scene look better, and it will seem that he took the initiative not to disturb Zhang Zhou's errand, and retreated in spite of the difficulties.

"Please!"

Zhang Zhouwei seemed polite to the other party, and went downstairs with the other party.

It's just that when he went out, Lin Yi kept looking back at him from time to time, probably there were too many unknown things about Zhang Zhou, and the mystery generated made people can't help but want to find out.

"Zhang Gongzi, did you really find out the miracle medicine for acne?"

The girls are still chattering.

Zhang Zhou smiled: "Miss Lin, I should call you that, right?" Are there some things that we should talk about later? ”

"Huh?"

Not only Lin Yi was surprised, but even more surprised was Zhu Feng on the side.

Zhang Zhou was not very sure, but when he went downstairs, because of the change in the observation angle, Zhang Zhou finally saw when Lin Yi was tidying up her sideburns that her ears were pierced, and the ear piercings were exclusive to women this year.

"You!"

Even Lin Ting didn't know what to say.

"Please!" Zhang Zhou did not elaborate on how he found out, nor did he make up his mind.

Just send the Lin family brothers and sisters out, and watch their carriage leave first.

"Brother Zhang, she...... Is she a woman? ”

The loss in Zhu Feng's eyes at this time was a kind of helplessness that he really made a mistake, Zhang Zhou estimated that his heart was now blue and his face was swollen, and he was even burned inside.

Zhang Zhou spread his hands: "Things are often so helpless, Zhijie, you have to grow!" ”

As he spoke, he patted Zhu Feng on the shoulder and encouraged him a little.

The sigh went away.
