The gifts from the Wei Palace, Liang Palace and Princess Taiping Palace were all very smooth. They all accepted Li Qianli's heavy gifts, which made Li Qianli breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that this trip to Luoyang was rewarding a lot.

Next, the gifts from the Zhang brothers were not delivered yet. Li Qianli felt a little upset and couldn't make up his mind.

Lu Xiaoxian insisted on sending himself to Zhang's house as a servant, which made Li Qianli very uncomfortable. The days he spent with Lu Xiaoxian made Li Qianli unable to live without him.

This time, the offer of auspiciousness won Wu Zetian's favor. Wu Zetian asked Li Qianli to assassinate his father's title, but did not allow him to stay in Luoyang, the capital of God. He had to go to the local governor. Li Qianli wanted to take Lu Xiaoxian to his post, but Lu Xiaoxian insisted on going to Zhang's mansion, which made Li Qianli a little difficult to make.

Finally, Murong Zhen’s persuasion played a role: “A person like Lu Xiaoxian cannot be kept like a pig. He is an eagle and can only fly in the sky that belongs to him! Let go, he will be grateful and forcibly against his wishes may be counterproductive!”

Murong Zhen not only advised Li Qianli to rest assured, but also generously gave the house where he lived in Luoyang to Lu Xiaoxian.

Sometimes, even Lu Xiaoxian has to admire Murong Zhen’s courage. Li Qianli has such a virtuous support, and I don’t know if it was a blessing he had cultivated in his previous life.

...

It has been three days since Lu Xiaoxian arrived in Zhang's mansion.

Compared to Li Qianli's house in Luoyang, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong's brothers have more mansions and are much more grand. This shows that Wu Zetian loves the two brothers from the bottom of his heart.

In the evening, the lights were on in the room. Lu Xiaoxian was thinking about his thoughts while chatting with Zhang Meng.

"You want to come and come by yourself, why do you have to get me involved?" Zhang Meng complained to Lu Xiaoxian, "It's fine in Qiufengpo, I'm going to suffer here. I don't know what you think!"

No wonder Zhang Meng complained. The life he lived in these two days was worse than death. All of this was thanks to Mr. Liu.

The Zhang family's housekeeper's surname is Liu. When Zhang Yizhi's brothers were still in a downturn, he was the only servant of the Zhang family. After His Majesty gave the Zhang brothers a house, Liu's servant transformed into Liu's housekeeper. Now, he was like an explosive household, and he looked domineering whenever he met.

There were five men and five women sent to Zhang's mansion. In addition to the sisters Lu Xiaoxian, Zhang Meng and Yin Feng Nongyue, there were several other Li Qianli's original servants and servants. They were all carefully trained by Murong Zhen, understood the rules, and obeyed the servant Liu's servant, which made him very satisfied.

Zhang Meng is different. He has been staying in Wangyun Mountain for many years. After going down the mountain with Lu Xiaoxian, he has been enjoying himself and drinking spicy food. He doesn’t know any rules. When Housekeeper Liu was scolding them the day before yesterday, Zhang Meng said something, and now he was caught by Housekeeper Liu. Not only did he scold him for being so squirted, but he also put on his shoes. In the past two days, Housekeeper Liu arranged endless work for Zhang Meng, carrying water, chopping firewood, and cutting weeds. If the foundation he had not accumulated over the years in Wangyun Mountain was still there, he would have been exhausted.

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Zhang Meng: "It was you who said it yourself. You will follow me wherever I go. If you regret it, then you should go back to the autumn wind and break, and I will never stop you!"

When Zhang Meng stopped talking when he heard Lu Xiaoxian ask him to go back, he just complained. How could he put Lu Xiaoxian on his own and leave?

"That Butler Liu is really not a thing. Didn't I just say something? As for holding on to it like this?" Zhang Meng murmured.

Lu Xiaoxian said angrily: "It's good that you can give you a better memory. Remember, if you can control your mouth, you won't have this happen!"

"Okay! I won't mention this anymore!" Zhang Meng leaned over to Lu Xiaoxian, "I heard that the owner of this family likes to abuse his servants, and there is no servant in the original Zhang family who will not suffer!"

Lu Xiaoxian also heard about what Zhang Meng said, and he had personally heard the screams from "Ting Songju".

"Ting Songju" is the forbidden area of ​​the Zhang family. Except for the Zhang brothers, servants are not allowed to enter without hello, and even Butler Liu is no exception.

Lu Xiaoxian glared at Zhang Meng: "I'm talking all the way. No matter what happens, you will endure it. It will ruin my business and you will look good!"

Seeing Lu Xiaoxian's serious look on his face, it didn't seem like a joke, Zhang Meng felt a little nervous. He quickly patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, as long as I don't have life, I will endure it and will never ruin your business!"

Although Zhang Meng didn't know what the bad thing Lu Xiaoxian said was, he knew it must not be a trivial matter. Anyway, these brain-thinking things were done by Lu Xiaoxian, so he was too lazy to think so much!

When he woke up early the next morning, Zhang Meng took the bucket and prepared to fetch water, but saw Butler Liu slowly coming to him.

"You, don't have to fetch water!" Butler Liu pointed at Zhang Meng, still in an annoying tone, "Hurry up and go to the door of 'Ting Songju' to greet the master!"

Speaking of this, Butler Liu paused and said with a slight smile: "The master is in a bad mood these two days, so you can ask for more blessings!"

When he saw Butler Liu's appearance, he felt angry. Zhang Meng wanted to reply to him, but when he remembered Lu Xiaoxian's reminder last night, he held back.

Lu Xiaoxian was worried that Zhang Meng would not be able to calm down, but when he saw that he did not speak, he breathed a sigh of relief. He winked at Zhang Meng and signaled that he would not be able to do anything wrong when he saw the Zhang brothers.

Zhang Meng nodded slightly at Lu Xiaoxian, reassuring him.

Looking at Zhang Meng's back, Lu Xiaoxian thought about the deep meaning of Butler Liu's words just now.

The Zhang brothers are Wu Zetian's male favorites. They have to sleep at night, so of course they will be back home in the morning.

But they are in a bad mood, why?

Butler Liu asked Zhang Meng to ask for blessings, but this was something in his words.

After thinking for a while, Lu Xiaoxian roughly understood the reason. His face changed and he wanted to remind Zhang Meng, but there was no sign of Zhang Meng at this time.

...

A luxurious carriage slowly drove out of the end gate of the imperial city.

Inside the carriage, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong frowned and their faces turned pale. None of them spoke.

After a long time, Zhang Changzong pounded the wall of the carriage hard and said angrily: "Fifth Brother, what kind of life do we live here? Not only do we have to serve that old woman, but we also have to be humiliated by Xue Huaili, the bald donkey. I am so angry!"

Zhang Changzong had red lips and white teeth, and had a good face. He was also a handsome man, and he looked more charming than Zhang Yizhi. But in anger, his facial features on his face were a little distorted, making people feel a little weird.

Of course, Zhang Changzong had his reasons for being angry.

Wu Zetian gave him the house and gold, silver and jewelry, and he was very grateful. But he was like the emperor's concubine to please an old woman in her 80s every night, but he couldn't overcome the hurdle in his heart.

For more than a month, Zhang Changzong pretended to be happy in front of Wu Zetian and forced himself to smile and smile. But in fact, he couldn't stand it for a day. When he thought of the situation every night, he couldn't help vomiting.

In addition to psychological rejection, he could not stand the gaze of others. Over the past month, Zhang Changzong has felt sensitively that everyone around him had different eyes when he looked at him, and it was full of ridicule, ridicule and pitifulness.

These eyes were like swords, piercing him all over his body.

The scene that happened a quarter of an hour ago when he and Zhang Yizhi came out of His Majesty's bedroom, and the national guru Xue Huaiyi blocked their way. Xue Huaiyi criticized them, scolding them so much that they were completely exhausted, but they could only laugh and dared not even refute.

Zhang Changzong had long heard that Xue Huaiyi was His Majesty's male favorite before, but now he came to challenge him and his brother, which was clearly because he was out of favor.

If Zhang Yizhi hadn't grabbed him, he would have exploded long ago. In Xue Huaiyi's eyes, Wu Zetian might be a treasure, but in his eyes of Zhang Changzong, Wu Zetian was just an old woman, and he didn't care about it at all.

Zhang Yizhi also looked angry, but Zhang Changzong was so unrestrained that he hurriedly covered his mouth and said in horror: "Liulang, don't you dare to talk nonsense, do you want to die?"

Zhang Changzong was traveling to Liulang at home, so Zhang Yizhi called him Liulang on weekdays.

Zhang Changzong also realized that his words just now were a bit inappropriate. No matter what, Wu Zetian was also the emperor. If he heard such disrespectful words, it would be easier to take his own life than to kill an ant.

Zhang Changzong sighed and said, "Fifth Brother, I'm so angry. Tell me, when will this day end?"

Zhang Yizhi sighed too.

Zhang Yizhi also had all the ideas of Zhang Changzong. After all, they were children of a big family. Although the family has declined now, the family etiquette is still there. Besides, they are all scholars, and what they are doing now spread among scholars, wouldn’t they be drowned by the spits?
