Zhang Chen came out of Zhang Shouna's residence, naturally crestfallen. Even if he didn't really admire Princess Yongping that much and was just holding his breath, when he thought about it, he could recite a lot of poems and songs, but if he had to
Writing, but it was completely blinding, not to mention the eight-part essay that gave him a headache just reading it, and he was still feeling bitter.
After Zhang Shou asked him if he could write eight-legged essays, he said a few more words that left him speechless: "She talks to you about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, you talk to her about fighting cocks and walking dogs; she talks to you about the prehistoric times of the universe.
, you talk to her about delicacies; she talks to you about the rise and fall of the world, you talk to her about begging for land and asking for homes... Since ancient times, talented women love talented men, it is because they can talk about it. Are you sure you can talk to Princess Yongping?
"
"Of course, Princess Yongping is not one of those talented girls who can only recite poems, compose poems, talk about mysteries, and don't care about fame. You can see that the Yuehualou literary party she hosted was a competition of eight-legged essays. You will know that talented people can join her.
She also likes to take a second look at conceited talents. But there are two types of people she keeps away from. One is me, a humble man who doesn't want to go to school; two, you are a noble meson who doesn't want to make progress."
Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, who came together, happened to meet Zhang Chen head-on. Seeing that he lowered his head and was thinking about his own thoughts, he didn't pay attention to them at all. They couldn't help but look at each other. Zhang Lu's eyes flashed and he excused himself to ask.
When he asked what was going on, he turned around and chased after him. In this case, Zhang Wu, who originally wanted to talk to Zhang Shou alone, simply went to the dormitory alone and knocked on the door.
When Zhang Shou opened the door and entered the room, although he had a lot to say, he couldn't say anything. At the moment, he could only talk about him and inquire about Lu Sanlang's marriage. Regarding this topic, Zhang Shou
Shou naturally kept his composure and pushed all the blame on Zhu Ying. Faced with such a result, Zhang Wu hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't help it anymore.
"The teacher once said before that what I need most is not an in-law, but a noble person who is willing to support me and help me. Such a noble person is more reliable than a marriage. At first, the teacher said that this person was Miss Zhu, but now it seems,
It would be better to say that it is you yourself, the teacher. Although you have just entered the official career, you are a disciple of Patriarch Ge, and the emperor also called him junior disciple with a smile, so I am really lucky."
He no longer used the word "little teacher", but called the teacher very formally, and lowered his head: "Brother Chen is the chief of the Banshan Hall. A Lu and I follow him. Now we can be regarded as the masters of the Banshan Hall."
With a little prestige, and because I am valued by my teacher, my father rarely smiles at me, the fifth bastard, and my aunt no longer openly suppresses me. But..."
After a pause, he raised his head and was about to continue, but Zhang Shou suddenly reached out to stop him. He thought Zhang Shou didn't like hearing such complaints, but when he was about to explain, Zhang Shou suddenly smiled at him.
Laughed.
"But, are you afraid when you think about whether your father or your aunt will give you a random wife?" Seeing Zhang Wu bow his head to express his acquiescence, Zhang Shou smiled and said, "When I was in the water in Cuiyun,
Bu Xing Guanli, since I have promised you your future and future on behalf of Yingying, of course I will not forget it. Lu Sanlang's matter is just the beginning."
Although Zhang Shou did not explicitly agree, this last sentence was nothing less than a clear statement. For a moment, Zhang Wu was surprised and happy, and then stood up in a hurry. He did not care that his movements were too big and almost kicked over the stool.
I bowed directly and said thank you: "Teacher, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. When I start a family in the future, I will never forget your kindness and the kindness of the eldest lady!"
Zhang Shou didn't expect Zhang Wu to be so excited. When he reached out to help him, he was already kneeling on the ground. Thinking about Zhang Wu as a concubine from a wealthy family who was not taken seriously and had no outstanding qualifications, his life has been really difficult for more than ten years.
——After all, it is impossible for everyone to be the protagonist of the bastard's counterattack. Although he received a courtesy, he still pulled Zhang Wu up.
After pushing the person back to the stool again, he knocked on the table thoughtfully, looked at Zhang Wu and asked: "Lu Sanlang told me at the beginning that he wanted a gentle and lovely wife, but not a virtuous, virtuous and well-behaved wife.
.And I just asked Zhang Chen whether he had thought about who he would marry in the future. Now, I will ask you the same question again, what do you think?"
A real daughter of a famous family would definitely look down on a helpless and bleak son of a noble family like him.
The average Xiaojiabiyu may not be able to adapt to the complicated environment of the Hou Mansion, and he does not have much ability to protect her.
Zhang Wu took a deep breath and finally said in a deep voice: "My aunt is an extremely powerful matron. My sister-in-law comes from a famous family and is the future patriarchal wife. I have to bow down in front of her, let alone mine.
Wife? I can’t borrow much of the honor of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, and my aunt doesn’t like to see me, so I hope my future wife can help me live separately!”
Knowing that such a straightforward statement was really treasonous, he simply told the truth: "I am a concubine, but my mother has been dead for many years, so after I leave the house and live elsewhere, she will not have a second mother-in-law above her head.
Therefore, I hope to marry a daughter-in-law or a concubine from a famous family who is fierce, daring to fight, and has a lively temperament, as long as she can help me run the family."
"However, my status is too low. I used to follow Brother Chen around. I don't know much about the situation of the daughters of the right age in each family, especially those who are not direct descendants."
This Zhang Wu thinks very clearly!
Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, and then said half jokingly and half seriously: "Your requirements are much lower than those of Lu Sanlang and Zhang Chen. Since you don't want to be suppressed by your family, why don't you think about Master Shang?"
cough--
After being stunned for the first time, Zhang Wu almost choked to death on his own saliva and coughed violently. After finally recovering, he smiled bitterly and said: "Teacher, please don't joke with me. The princess of this dynasty is no better than Tang Shi
Princesses who are arrogant are no more easily bullied than princesses in the Song Dynasty. They are all treasures, and their consorts are carefully selected, so they never have to worry about getting married."
Seeing that Zhang Shou still had a playful smile on his face, he felt even more embarrassed: "As a concubine of the Hou clan like me, who has accomplished nothing, if he is really the master, he can immediately open a mansion with the princess and live separately, and no matter how powerful my aunt is on weekdays,
I am shrewd and I don’t dare to act like a mother-in-law in front of the princess. In all likelihood, I will never enter the gate of the princess’s mansion in the future. Of course I am absolutely willing, but how is that possible!”
"Where there is a will, there is a way." Zhang Shou joked, but he did not reveal anything about Princess Deyang, nor did he mention that Zhang Chen claimed to be interested in Princess Yongping. He suddenly stood up, went to the door, opened the door and called
Ah Liu called out, and when a figure appeared in front of him very unexpectedly, he smiled and stretched out his hand. The next moment, Ah Liu handed over the secret box.
After taking the box and turning back, he saw Zhang Wu standing up in stunned silence, his face suddenly turning red. He said calmly: "If the words get into Ah Liu's ears, then no one else will know about it. You don't have to worry."
Leak. As for this box, it is the relic of Taizu that was given to me by the emperor at the court meeting today."
Zhang Wu suddenly forgot about the embarrassment he felt when Ah Liu heard what he had just revealed, and his eyes widened. He watched Zhang Shou slowly walk over, put the secret box on the table, and then turned the dial to open the lock. Waiting until it was inside
The stack of manuscripts was placed on the table, and he even stopped breathing. It was not until he discovered that the words written on the pieces of paper were like heavenly books, and he did not recognize any of them, that he was disappointed.
"I hope you will make an exact copy of this stack of manuscripts. Of course, this is not easy. You can ask Zhang Chen and Zhang Lu to come with you. If Lu Sanlang is free, I will also ask him to help. Wait.
After copying, I will return the original manuscript to the Emperor. After all, it is not appropriate to keep Taizu’s manuscripts in my hands.”
Zhang Shou did not show the watch hanging on his wrist. Seeing that Zhang Wu's face showed excitement for a moment, he further explained: "When I was given the gift, I didn't think carefully about it, so I wrote a letter to report it later.
Please explain clearly. After you finish copying one copy, if you are willing, you can help me copy a few more copies."
If it were some people, they would naturally complain a lot, but what Zhang Wu is afraid of now is that he has nothing to do and is afraid of being marginalized. How can he be afraid of hard work? He heard the implication of Zhang Shou and immediately asked: "The teacher wants to give it away."
?"
"Teacher, Mr. Qi, Mr. Chu, and Wang Dayin of Shuntian Prefecture, I all plan to send a copy. Even if the emperor returns the original, it would also be good to give him another copy for him to look through at his leisure. After all, the original is
The things are one hundred and eighty years old and may be damaged at any time. If they are read through too much, they are not conducive to preservation. Of course, I still leave the things to Ah Liu for safekeeping. You all come to me to copy them."
Hearing that it was going to be sent to the imperial court, Zhang Wu did not hesitate anymore, and immediately nodded heavily and said: "Teacher, don't worry, we will copy it exactly as it is, and we will never copy a single word wrong! I'll go find Brother Chen right away.
And Alu!"
Seeing Zhang Wu bow respectfully, turn around and trot out the door, Zhang Shou couldn't help laughing. But the next moment, he saw Ah Liu in front of the door looking at him with deep eyes: "Why?"
Zhang Shou didn't expect that Ah Liu would ask why. He was stunned for a moment and then smiled and said: "Master has something to do, and I will do my best. Besides, people like Teacher Ge, Mr. Qi, Mr. Chu, and Wang Dayin can have their manuscripts placed on the emperor's behalf."
It is naturally beneficial to them. I am also providing them with an opportunity to practice."
"Actually, it's just to be lazy, right?"
"Nonsense!" Zhang Shou reprimanded Ah Liu for his unreasonable speculation with a serious look on his face. He sorted out Taizu's letters and put them back into the box, then threw them back to the young man. Then he said sternly, "I am training students!
"
Taizu's posthumous manuscripts are different from the watch on his wrist. They are full of troubles. If he refuses in front of the emperor and then claims to copy them, he will have to do it himself. Not only does it take a lot of effort, but he also has to be careful not to reveal that he is proficient in it.
With twenty-six English letters, how can it save effort to send students?
Moreover, students will be delighted to have the opportunity to serve!
