Since the former Tang Dynasty, Jiangling City is the place where soldiers must fight, here choke the throat of the north and south, go north to Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion, go south to the southeast of the provinces, is in addition to Kaifeng Mansion and Yingtian Mansion, one of the most prosperous cities in the Great Song Dynasty.

Jiangling many merchants and rich people, if the richest, is the mansion in the center of Jiangling City Zhang's family, Zhang's family was originally from the capital, moved to Jiangling more than 20 years ago, when he came, the Jiangling Zhizhou Lord personally retired his official uniform, with a few entourages out of the city ten miles to greet, so Jiangling City spread, this Zhang family ancestor is a great official in the capital, and now he has come to Jiangling to do business.

The head of the Zhang family is named Zhang Qingyuan, not tall, not kind in appearance, at first glance, there is still a bit of a posture that is not angry and mighty, but if you see it for a long time, there are some cunning looks that have been in business for many years, this Zhang Qingyuan moved to Jiangling after the family moved to Jiangling, every year he scattered his family wealth to help the poor people, and the construction of a large number of beggars in Jiangling City has a place to live, in this area is a real good person.

I heard that Mr. Zhang was talking about the jewelry business of tens of thousands of taels of silver today, and suddenly someone came and muttered two words in his ear, Mr. Zhang slapped the table and scolded: "You rabbit cub!" and then left without leaving the words, his face was extremely gloomy.

The businessman on the other side had a dark face, stretched out his head to see Zhang Qingyuan walking away, his hands crossed his waist, like a resentful woman: "How can you scold people who have been stabbed with a thousand knives!"

Here outside the door of Zhang's house hurriedly ran into a bucktooth family, this bucktooth stayed in Zhang's house for four or five years, but the foot is not good, cross a threshold and snap a dog to eat, and then get up and scold, continue to run inside, meet the threshold and then snap it, this bucktooth has been falling out of experience for so many years, every time he falls, he does not forget to raise his mouth, otherwise he would have broken the two buckteeth.

The bucktooth fell seven times, and finally ran to the place, and shouted like a wolf: "Young master, it's not good, the master is back, and he said that you are a rabbit cub!"

A lazy voice came from the room: "Everyone in the world says that it is difficult to make money, and I can't use up the money I earn, and everyone in the world says that it is good to be rich, and I say that it is troublesome to be rich." ”

"Ah, young master, this is stupid, why are you still writing poetry?" Bucktooth touched his head.

"Fart, little buckteeth, when did my father not scold me like this, have you ever seen me afraid?" Zhang Shaoyang stood up slowly from the recliner and stretched his waist, only to find that this Zhang Shaoyang is extremely good-looking, with a pair of goose eggs and melon seeds and a handsome face, and there is no half of femininity, coupled with a rich and gorgeous outfit, it is simply a little envious of women.

As he spoke, Zhang Qingyuan strode in and sneered, "I heard that Young Master Zhang talked about a hundred taels of silver again today?"

Zhang Shaoyang was not afraid, pulled a chair and sat down with a grin, and said with a smile: "That's not it!"

"I heard that you bought two sentences from the top brand of the drunken dream building, what kind of romantic and talented man can't match the young man of the Zhang family?" Zhang Qingyuan said almost through gritted teeth.

"Dad, isn't it smooth?" Zhang Shaoyang leaned forward with a flattering expression.

"Lao Tzu told you to be smooth!" Zhang Qingyuan raised his slap and was about to hit him, but who knew that Zhang Shaoyang had expected it and had already avoided it.

"Not bad, yes, you are a loser, you are really fucking self-taught!" Zhang Qingyuan was extremely angry, and it was not easy to calm down.

Zhang Shaoyang pouted: "Dad, isn't it just what you earn to spend?"

It was the middle of winter, Zhang Qingyuan's exhaled white breath was much farther than usual, he never thought that this thirteen-year-old son who was the first in the state examination would be the penultimate in the Beijing provincial examination in the second year, he was just a young stage fright, who knew that the fifteen-year-old state exam was the first, and at the age of sixteen, he entered Beijing and got the bottom.

Now in Manjiangling, who doesn't know that he Zhang Qingyuan has a son with "stage fright"?

As soon as he thought that the sentence could not withstand the young man of the Zhang family, Zhang Qingyuan felt that his chest was tight, and he would give one hundred taels of silver, so he didn't look at Lao Tzu working hard outside?

Master Zhang just returned to the room, thinking out of sight and out of mind, if he continues to entangle, sooner or later he will be angry with this own son!

Before he sat down, a head came in at the door, and said with a smile: "Dad, you are blessed!"

"Wan mother's blessing, get out!"

Zhang Shaoyang is comfortable now, he always feels that he hasn't been scolded enough and is not steady, but now it's okay, how comfortable he wants to be.

After finishing comforting, the little bucktooth next to him came out in time: "Young master, there is a Tibetan princess in the west, I heard that there is a ring in the city, why don't you go and join in the fun?"

When Zhang Shaoyang heard this, he was immediately interested, and said in his heart that this princess of the Great Song Dynasty had not been seen, but he could see this Tubo princess, and he had planned to go out to look for flowers and ask willows, but he suddenly changed his mind and shouted outside the hall: "Idiot, let's go, go and see the princess!"

As soon as the words fell, a figure jumped down from the eaves, it was the idiot called by Zhang Shaoyang, this person was half a head taller than Zhang Shaoyang, and his body was thin, but his eyebrows were exceptionally clear, his facial features were sharp and angular, a pair of sword eyebrows were slightly upturned, and with a slender sword in his hand, it was pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at it.

"Jumping so high every time, it's amazing to know a little martial arts!" Zhang Shaoyang looked disdainful, took the lead and walked towards the door, and muttered in his mouth: "Let's go, take you to see the excitement." ”

Zhang Mansion is very big, worthy of the name of the richest man in Jiangling, among which the corridor is full of twists and turns, flower ponds are everywhere, after seven gates, it is counted as the main gate, the little bucktooth is extra attentive this time, and finally did not trip over the threshold, and when he was happy, he showed two big teeth, but as soon as he laughed, he suddenly felt a trip under his feet, and fell to the ground with a snap, Zhang Shaoyang silently stretched out his feet, pretending that nothing had happened.

As soon as the three of them walked out of the gate, a thin middle-aged man walked out of Zhang's house, followed the three of them slowly, carrying a big sword four fingers wide on his back, and the four of them walked faster and faster, gradually blending into the flow of people on the street.

In a place in Jiangling City, at this time, it was full of pedestrians, not much good weather, and I heard that there was a Tubo princess, almost everyone went out of the house, to see how many heads this princess had.

In the center of the crowd on the third floor and the outer three floors, there is a wooden platform that has just been built, at this time there is a sedan chair with red sand all around the platform, and a woman can be vaguely seen sitting in the sedan chair, followed by six or seven followers behind the sedan chair, all of them are seven feet tall and strong, compared with the light and thin Song people, these people are obviously much tougher.

"Inside the sedan chair is my Liugu Tubo princess, here is to enter Beijing to meet the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the princess has long heard that the Great Song Dynasty has many capable people, today passing through Jiangling City, set up a ring here, want to compete with the Song Dynasty here, let me wait and see, this Great Song Dynasty is really so, or has a false name!" one of the big men said recklessly, his words were full of provocation, and he seemed to be quite disdainful of the Great Song Dynasty.

There were many dissatisfied voices in the audience, Zhang Shaoyang was notorious, and the onlookers had already let him go to the wooden platform, hearing these words, Zhang Shaoyang, who had always been lazy, couldn't help frowning.
