Zhang Zhiping looked at the two of them who were gloomy with a pleasant expression, the matter of the spiritual root was destined, and there was nothing he could do now.

However, Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Renjing have been studying for many years after all, and they have not thought about these things before, so they quickly regained their spirits. Zhang Zhidong realized that he was embarrassed at this time, and said with a wry smile: "Let the third brother laugh." Zhang Renjing also nodded, today for the first time I really saw the existence of an immortal cultivator, but in the next moment, he shattered his hope, making the two of them a little exhausted for a while.

Zhang Zhiping regretted a little that he had disturbed the mood of the two elder brothers, hoping that it would not affect their imperial examination. However, after experiencing this incident, the relationship between the three of them became a lot closer, and they began to talk about various anecdotes in Tiannan and Haibei, and gradually returned to the classics and histories, poems and songs. The two have been studying for many years, and they are naturally extremely familiar with this, and Zhang Zhiping is even more knowledgeable and memorized, plus many famous sayings and aphorisms from his previous life, philosophy of life, and talent level should be above the two, Zhang Renjing couldn't help but say when he saw this: "Even if the third brother doesn't go to cultivate immortals, he has the talent of the champion." ”

Zhang Zhidong retorted when he heard this: "Second brother, you are wrong, the third brother is the one who has the talent of the champion, so he can cultivate immortals." ”

Zhang Zhiping saw that the two of them quickly put down the matter of cultivating immortals, and nodded secretly in his heart, although his two elder brothers could not cultivate immortals, they were still extremely good as mortals, so they didn't have to worry about entrusting their parents to them.

Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Renjing just arrived in the capital today, and they experienced a lot of fuss, and soon they were a little out of energy, and they planned to go back to the room to rest, and finally, Zhang Zhidong said: "We plan to visit Meng Shouyi and Master Meng tomorrow, will you go together tomorrow?"

"Meng Shouyi?" Zhang Zhiping has been practicing penance in the Qingsong Temple for the past year, and he doesn't care about the affairs in the court, so he doesn't know who this is. Zhang Renjing explained on the side: "Master Meng is the secretary of the Ministry of Officials of this dynasty, and his protégés are all over the world, and he is the chief examiner of my father's imperial examination. Father is also considered to worship under the door of Lord Meng, every year during the New Year, my father will send someone to pay New Year's greetings and give gifts, this time I came to Beijing, my father asked us to visit many times, and now you are also here, I don't know if you would like to visit together?"

So it was, Zhang Zhiping was in a hurry at the beginning, and Zhang Zhizhong didn't have time to explain, and he knew that Zhang Zhiping would be an immortal in the future, and he would rarely intersect with mortals, so he didn't mention this person to Zhang Zhiping. However, Zhang Zhiping thought that his family might have to deal with this person in the future, so he might as well go and have a look, so as not to have any accidents in the future, so Zhang Zhiping said: "Since he is my father's teacher, I should visit." ”

In the afternoon, I asked Shi Li to go to the name post, and after getting the other party's reply, he bought some gifts, and then began to rest. Both of them slept well at night and slept until dawn.

The next day, Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Renjing walked out of the room in good spirits, as if they were not disturbed by yesterday's events at all. This is because Zhang Zhiping secretly gave two Tongmai pills to the two of them at night, and then he recovered his energy. Tongmai Dan is extremely precious in the rivers and lakes, Zhang Zhiping is afraid that if he gives it to the two of them in person, the two of them will accidentally say that leaking their mouths will cause trouble in the future, so he simply gave them a whisper. After a night, the two of them really increased their energy and regained their former vigor.

The three of them walked together, and Zhang Zhiping also changed out of his robe at this time, put on a Confucian robe, and got into a carriage with the two of them to go to Mengfu.

This imperial examination was presided over by Wang Daheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and had nothing to do with Meng Shouyi, so Meng Shouyi did not care about meeting outsiders. There are also many people who go to Beijing to take the exam, and they can have such and such a relationship with Meng Shouyi, so there is an endless stream of carriages on the way to Mengfu. After the three of them arrived at Meng's mansion, they handed over the gifts to their subordinates and were led to a living room, where there were already many movers, but they did not see Meng Shouyi, but were entertained by his son Meng Zhixin.

Zhang Zhiping was a little bored watching everyone talking about various poems and songs, it seems that now is not a good time to visit Mengfu, so many people came to visit, and they didn't even see Meng Shouyi's face.

When he was bored, Zhang Zhiping seemed to hear a few low laughter of girls, listened carefully, and looked along the place where the sound came from, only to see a few girls secretly looking at everyone in the hall behind the door curtain, one of the younger girls was pointing at everyone and laughing.

At this time, one of the girls noticed Zhang Zhiping's gaze, looked at him and blushed slightly, and hurriedly pulled the lively girl to leave. At this time, the other two also noticed Zhang Zhiping's gaze, the girl at the beginning immediately grimaced at him, and the older one looked at him and smiled generously, and then left together.

Seeing three beautiful girls at once, Zhang Zhiping couldn't help but feel happy. He found that the three of them were very clean, and they had a constant dust avoidance technique on their bodies, which should have come from the jade pendant on their bodies. He knew this kind of jade pendant, the top ruler of the Zhou State was no stranger to immortal cultivators, the royal family itself was a family of immortal cultivators, they had lived in the capital for a long time, and naturally they were also affected by the red dust in the capital, so they studied this jade pendant of constant dust avoidance. It's just that this thing is quite cherished, and it has always been worn only by people from the royal family, and I didn't expect to see three here, it seems that this Meng Shouyi has a good relationship with the royal family.

Originally, Zhang Zhiping thought that he would stay until he left in the afternoon, but after a while, a servant girl walked up to him and whispered that someone had invited him over. Zhang Zhiping looked at the people who were still talking, said hello to his two elder brothers, and left with the maidservant without waiting for the two to object.

Zhang Zhiping followed the maidservant forward, walked through the lobby, and came to a garden in the backyard, where the three girls he had just met. The two sides looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, and neither spoke first. After a long time, the youngest girl couldn't help it a little and said, "Hey, why don't you speak?"

Zhang Zhiping was bored here, seeing that they didn't speak, he didn't speak, and looked at what they were going to do with interest, but he didn't expect them to stop talking for a long time. However, in this way, he seemed to have a little belly, so he touched his nose a little embarrassedly and said, "My name is Zhang Zhiping, may I ask your young lady's name." What is the matter with the coming down?"

The younger girl was a little arrogant, and the oldest girl smiled naturally and said, "My name is Zhou Jing." ”

Then he pointed to the youngest girl: "This is my sister, Zhou Qian." ”

Finally, he pointed to the girl who looked at Zhang Zhiping at the beginning: "This is the owner of this place, Meng Lingru." ”

Zhang Zhiping took a closer look at the three daughters, Zhou Jing was dignified and polite, down-to-earth and generous; Zhou Qian was lively and cute, ghostly, and Meng Lingru's body looked a little weak, beautiful as Zhilan, elegant and refined, like a Jiangnan woman walking out of a landscape painting.

The three girls also looked at Zhang Zhiping, different from the cleanliness seen by Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Renjing, but felt a breath of life, a feeling of vitality, just like the thin buds of grass seeds growing in spring, just woke up from the endless darkness, full of vitality, with a yearning for a colorful world, full of fun.
