Chapter 18 Retreat

In the laziness and comfort, Zhang Jingxiu enjoyed the leisure of being alone, and his beautiful bright eyes involuntarily fell on the porcelain dolls and Maitreya Buddha placed by the window.

This was all won by her from guessing lantern riddles at the stall during the Lantern Festival last night.

Soon Zhang Jingxiu thought of something else, and then he pursed his lips and smiled, put on a pure white fox fur cloak, got down to the ground, and picked up a couplet from the table.

Then she opened her red lips slightly and murmured to herself: "With cold eyebrows, I can point fingers at thousands of people, but I bow my head and am willing to be a ruthless ox."

This pair.

Zhang Jingxiu could not help but purse his lips and laugh again: "What a courageous person."

Zhang Jingxiu pondered and pondered, and a warm yet calm face appeared in Fang's heart, and she sighed quietly.

"Presumably, this is another depressed person."

This pair is truly exquisite.

In the heart of love.

Shen Lie's appearance gradually became clearer, which made Zhang Jingxiu praise him. From this pair of words, he recalled that night, such a naive and stupid thief...

She came to help that night, but it was just a temporary idea. She was moved by the sincere feelings between the master and servant, and she didn't take it to heart afterward.

After all, punishing a Zaoyi gang is just a piece of cake for her.

But she never expected that one day she and the stupid thief would meet by chance on the street, and the man would give her such a big surprise.

As she thought about it, Zhang Jingxiu couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh. She felt a little curious in her heart, feeling that the world is so big and full of wonders.

As the corners of her rosy mouth rose slightly, she revealed a beautiful smile and murmured to herself: "What a... weirdo."

The person who can write this couplet is naturally not a small stall owner. He must also be a talented person.

Although the couplet is just a minor piece and cannot be put on the stage, this couplet is so shocking that Zhang Jingxiu, who grew up in the first assistant's family since childhood, was amazed.

Coming from a family of chief ministers, she had seen this kind of thing a lot. In these days and during the prosperous Ming Dynasty, there were too many people who were depressed and frustrated.

Looking at this couplet, the corners of Zhang Jingxiu's rosy mouth slightly raised, and suddenly a naughty thought came to his mind, so he put on his clothes and combed his long hair in front of the mirror.

Then he excitedly went straight to the front yard with this couplet...

Father's study.

Standing outside the quiet study room, Zhang Jingxiu listened to the whispers inside, and pursed his lips and smiled slightly. If this couple fell into the eyes of others, it would be fine.

Most of the time they just taste it, admire it, and then put it on the shelf.

But she happened to get this pair, so it was like finding a treasure.

Thousand pointing fingers, head bowed as a willing ox.

How well said!

Who are these two people praising? Isn't it the true portrayal of the life of Zhang Juzheng, the first minister of the dynasty, and Prime Minister Zhang? My father must have liked them very much.

So, Zhang Jingxiu walked forward lightly, knocked on the door, and whispered: "Father."

A majestic voice came from the study.

"Enter."

Zhang Jingxiu straightened his clothes, walked into the study, and looked at a civil servant around fifty years old sitting on the chair in the middle.

This man has a dignified appearance, is elegant and handsome. Although he is nearly fifty, he has not gained weight. He still maintains a graceful appearance and a deep majesty in his demeanor.

In addition, sitting in the study room was a middle-aged military general in his thirties, wearing a flying fish suit and a goldfish bag. He turned out to be a third-rank military attache.

This person turned out to be the commander of the Imperial Guard!

In this month, this year, at this moment, the Zhang family and his son are in power, holding all the civil and military power of the Ming Dynasty in their hands.

While talking, Zhang Jingxiu entered the study, bowed to the two of them, and said softly: "My daughter has met her father and her fourth brother."

Zhang Juzheng, who was the chief minister of the dynasty and had all the power in both the government and the public, smiled slightly and said dotingly: "Yes."

The middle-aged military attaché also chuckled and said, "What's wrong, little sister?"

Zhang Jingxiu then moved his lotus steps lightly, walked over, smiled, spread out the couplets in his hands, and placed them on Prime Minister Zhang's desk.

Looking at this couplet, the prime minister first frowned and narrowed his majestic eyes. This word is really unsightly, but this couple.

Zhang Juzheng fell in love with him at first sight, and his majestic eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Huh?"

Zhang Juzheng was slightly startled, and soon he began to think deeply. After a while, his slightly frowning brows relaxed. The more he thought about it, the more he liked it.

This pair...

The more Prime Minister Zhang thought about it, the more comfortable he felt. This couple really spoke to his heart. It really captured the essence of his upright and upright life and his good intentions towards His Majesty.

Mr. Zhang’s shining eyes narrowed, and he couldn’t help but fall into a strange emotion, a kind of...

The feeling of meeting a soulmate.

I think back then, Emperor Wanli was raised by Grand Master Zhang from a young age. In order to cultivate His Majesty, didn’t Grand Master Zhang look down on thousands of people with cold eyebrows?

What was he doing for that kid? Wasn't it just for the boy to become a talented person as soon as possible?

I've really gone to great lengths for that little boy!

So Zhang Juzheng pondered for a long time in front of this couplet, and soon recognized his daughter's handwriting, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay."

After saying two good words in a row, Zhang Juzheng looked at his precious daughter Yingying's smile and couldn't help but feel so relieved. It was really...

Know your father better than your daughter, this couple is well written!

It truly expressed Zhang Juzheng's innermost feelings, and it was like a scratch that hit the prime minister's itchy flesh without any deviation.

The scratched Prime Minister felt comfortable all over.

"well."

Amidst Zhang Juzheng’s praise.

Zhang Jingxiu pursed his lips and smiled, then stretched out his delicate hands, picked up the fine wolf hair on the table, and copied the absolute painting aside.

Then she pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Post this pair outside father's study."

The servants on the left and right hurriedly agreed.

"yes."

The couplets were posted quickly.

Zhang Juzheng walked out of the study and stood in the yard with his son and daughter to taste it, and they were still full of praise.

In admiration.

Zhang Jianxiu, the fourth son of the Zhang family, said with a smile: "This couple is really outstanding. The talent of the younger sister will put all the men in the world to shame."

Zhang Jingxiu pursed his lips and smiled again, and said softly: "Jingxiu doesn't dare to be greedy for credit. This pair of poems was not written by Jingxiu. The person who wrote this pair of poems..."

At this moment, Shen Lie's heroic yet honest face naturally appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but reveal a playful smile.

Under the astonished gaze of his father and fourth brother.

Zhang Jingxiu pursed his lips and smiled: "He is a first-class interesting person."

After saying this, Zhang Juzheng and his son were even more stunned. They listened to Jingxiu with a smile on his face as he talked about Shen Lie, but they just concealed that night in the snow...

She knew what should be said and what should not be said.

Not long after.

In the study, Zhang Juzheng's voice sounded: "Oh...I see."

Zhang Jianxiu also looked at the elated little girl and laughed softly: "According to the little sister's wishes, do you want to recruit this person?"

Zhang Jingxiu smiled and said softly: "Jingxiu has this intention. If such talents are allowed to live on the streets..."

As she spoke, she started to act coquettishly in her voice: "Daddy, fourth brother!"

Zhang Juzheng was so relieved that he smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Jianxiu smiled slightly and said dotingly: "I don't know how much evil virtue this man has accumulated in his previous life, but he can make my little sister look at him differently. It's like the sun is rising in the west. So... let him be a staff member in the mansion first. If he does things

If you are capable, there is no harm in being rewarded with an official position."

In these years, the entire Ming Dynasty had tens of thousands of staff, disciples, officials, and external forces attached to the Zhang family, no less than one more.
