When Zhang Shou and Zhang Chen walked a few steps away from the Xiangshe, they almost asked the same question at the same time. Zhang Shou was shocked at first, and then he stopped laughing. When he saw that Zhang Chen seemed a little annoyed by his laughter, he
Then he coughed and said, "You might as well just think about it this way. Rather than making random arrangements, your father is very open-minded and leaves the autonomy of this important matter of marriage to yourself."
"Who said that? He obviously wanted you to worry..." Zhang Chen suddenly shut up and asked Zhang Shou to worry... probably because Zhang Chuan knew that Zhang Shou was not the kind of person who would pull strings randomly.
Saburo also looked at each other that time, and if you and I were willing to make things happen again, of course he would do the same thing. In other words, he didn't have to worry about his father coming out to beat the mandarin ducks!
But after the initial surprise, he became angry again: "It's easy for him to be a father. He doesn't even care about my marriage!"
Of course Zhang Shou knew Zhang Chen's awkward little thoughts - it was just that the young man Xiong wanted to have autonomy in marriage and felt that his father was indifferent. However, Zhang Chuan's thoughts were indeed elusive, but he didn't want to care about it.
If someone has any overtones, just take it as accurate and listen to it.
"Okay, don't be a good person when you get a bargain. If you don't believe me, you can tell others about it later and see if they are envious, jealous, and hateful of you, or are they envious, jealous, and hateful?" Zhang Shou deliberately said the words "envy, jealousy, and hate" upside down.
When Zhang Chen closed his mouth in anger, he said casually, "By the way, this box of Gastrodia elata is for your mother. You can send it to me on my behalf."
As he said this, he suddenly remembered that he had just gone to see Zhang Chuan, the Duke of Qin, but he had just given Zhang Chuan nothing. Instead, he drank a lot of tea. Before leaving, Zhang Chuan also said that he would give him handmade incense later.
, he couldn't refuse yet. In this way, when he met the Duke of Qin with both hands empty-handed, he actually got a gift in return in vain...
"Then, young sir, please come to my study and sit for a while while I go see my mother." If his father Zhang Chuan hadn't suddenly intervened, Zhang Chen would have taken Zhang Shou to see his mother Lin, but now he
But he changed his mind. He was really unsure about his father's inexplicable entrustment, so he planned to ask his mother. Of course, he also wanted to prevent his mother from talking nonsense when she saw Zhang Shou.
Having made up his mind, Zhang Chen immediately called a servant and ordered someone to take Zhang Shou to his study. Then he ran away like a gust of wind holding the box of gastrodia elata. Seeing this, Zhang Shou, who had originally planned to stop him,
I simply gave up that plan.
When he was brought to the door of a house with a plaque of Banshanzhai, he saw a young boy running up to greet him. He couldn't help laughing and asked: "This is your young master's study? Who named Banshanzhai?"
?”
"It's from the young master." The handsome young man nodded and said, "The young master said that he is the chief of the Banshan Hall of the Imperial Academy. This study was renamed Banshanzhai, which is much more meaningful than the previous names such as Ningxintang Jingxinju.
Already."
Seeing Zhang Shou burst into laughter, the young man saw that the servant who had led the way was about to leave on tiptoe. He couldn't help but feel anxious and quickly asked: "Is this young master Dr. Zhang of the Imperial Academy? You are a distinguished guest. Why didn't my young master accompany you?
Come together?"
"He went to see Mrs. Qin, so he asked me to take me to his study. I will wait for him here." Zhang Shou didn't mention the gift, but when he saw the handsome young man, his face froze.
I just pretended I didn't know what was going on, but in fact I almost burst out laughing.
Zhang Chen... is a place like the study room allowed for outsiders to enter at will? It would be fine if they were all serious collections of classics and history, but with the flourishing style of the bookstore these days, and with Zhang Chen's unscrupulous virtue,
Are there hidden various pornographic books? Or even pornographic pictures? Besides, if you scribble something and write something, is it for outsiders to see?
Seeing that the servant who led him had quickly fled away, he ignored the boy and pushed the door straight into the mountain studio. After entering, he saw a soft couch against the wall, and he immediately yawned and said:
"It's rare for me to take a bath, but I got up early in the morning. I'm sleepy, and I drank a lot of tea in the Xiangshe but it didn't relieve my fatigue. You don't have to come in to wait on me. I'll just sit here and take a nap later."
As he spoke, he didn't even look at the anxious face outside the door, and directly closed the door with his backhand. Looking at Zhang Chen's study with his hands behind his back in a playful manner, he saw that there was no partition in the huge space.
As open and transparent as Zhang Chen's straightforward character, however, the books on the bookshelf were piled in a mess, and the desk was even more messy.
Obviously, Zhang Chen is also the kind of guy who believes that no outsiders are allowed to clean up the study no matter how messy it is... And a person with this kind of personality actually dares to let an outsider like him enter the study?
Zhang Shou clasped his hands behind his back and walked around the bookshelf. He didn't even look at the books that were obviously stacked at the bottom as cushions. He only glanced at the top few books. When he caught a glimpse of a book called "Simple Women"
When he read the Sutra, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. When he saw an explicit "Picture of the Secret Play of the Spring Night" hanging on the wall next to the soft couch, he couldn't help but laugh or cry.
Looking at the desk again, there is a piece of paper that literally reads "The Queen of the Yellow Emperor ascends in three thousand days." If you don't know, just looking at these things, you will think that Zhang Chen is so licentious. Even if he is not licentious, according to Zhang Chen's
Judging from the situation of being an only child in the family, it is estimated that he is no longer a virgin. There should be at least two or three older girls around him.
Having seen what he wanted to read, Zhang Shou stopped wandering around. He casually glanced at the books next to the big case, picked out a volume of Mengxi's Essays, and then reclined on the soft couch against the wall to read. He flipped through the pages leisurely.
After reading for a while, I heard the door slam open, and immediately after, a figure rushed in.
"Little sir!" Zhang Chen glanced around before he could stand still, and found Zhang Shouzhen sitting reading a book. He was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically. He rushed forward in three hurried steps and wanted to grab the book, but he couldn't.
He stretched out his hand halfway but felt it was inappropriate, so he simply squatted down regardless of his manners. When he found that it was a volume of Mengxi's written talk, he was relieved.
But as soon as he stood up, he saw the picture of the Secret Play of Spring Night hanging just above the soft couch, and his face suddenly turned dark.
"Hang this kind of picture in the most conspicuous place, and put those messy books within easy reach. Zhang Chen, forget about normal times, don't you think about what day it is today? Do you think you are here today?
Everyone can be regarded as your best friend? If someone breaks into the study, sees the scene here, and then spreads the word, what do you think the result will be? "
Zhang Shou put down the Mengxi Bi Tan as he spoke. Seeing that Zhang Chen was extremely embarrassed, he said angrily: "You are lucky that I saw you. Why don't you clean up your doghouse quickly? What did you do before?"
Do you blame your father for not caring about you? With your attitude of throwing random books and pictures around, if your father really cared about you, you, a blatant brat like you, would have been beaten to death long ago!"
"Can't I just clean it up now?" Zhang Chen agreed with a grimace, and then hurriedly jumped onto the soft couch, hurriedly picked off the picture, rolled it up, tied it up and threw it in the scroll vat.
Obviously, he was very aware of the location of certain books on his desk, so he stuffed the most important ones at the bottom of the bookshelf, and then built a wall of books outside.
After he cleared up the bookcase in three strokes, and hurriedly changed the positions of the books on the other shelves, he came to Zhang Shou again. This time, he whispered: "I
It’s not like he’s some lecherous devil. Whether it’s a painting or a book, I deliberately displayed it for my father to see. But I don’t know if he really doesn’t care or if he pretends not to care, I’ve never asked.”
What has this young bear been thinking about all day long!
Zhang Shou only felt that the father and son of the Duke of Qin, Zhang Chuan and Zhang Chen, were simply a bigger problem than the father and son of Lu Wan and Lu Sanlang. But staring at the face full of dissatisfaction and disappointment, he suddenly remembered
I used to. Well, who hasn’t experienced a bear?
"I don't care if you are real or not. Put away this kind of little tricks from now on. You are sixteen or seventeen years old, not only six or seven years old! It's very simple to test your father's thoughts. When you give him grandchildren in the future, hug him
Go to him and see if he cares or not. If he is still like this at that time, it means that he really doesn't care, and you can give up!"
"And after you give up, you might as well put all your thoughts into raising your children and show them with practical actions that you are a better father than him. Isn't that a thousand times better than this childish quarrel now?
Times?" Until Zhang Chen lost his temper, Zhang Shou simply smoothed over his hair and found another way. Sure enough, in the next few words, he made Zhang Chen look normal.
After this conversation, and after the descendants of various noble families arrived one after another, Zhang Shou and Zhang Chen were busy dealing with those people, and were reported intact by a boy to Zhang Chuan'er, the Duke of Qin who was still mixing incense in the incense house.
But after listening, Zhang Chuan just said without raising his head: "I understand. That's it for now. I don't want anyone else to hear it, including Madam."
Seeing that the boy hurriedly agreed and then left, Zhang Chuan put down the jade pestle used for crushing spices in his hand, slowly straightened up, raised his head, and showed a somewhat sad expression on his face.
He really didn't expect that Zhang Shou would teach his always stubborn son how to be a good father?
This small banquet in the garden of the Duke of Qin's Mansion was held with great splendor, thanks to Zhang Chen's special instructions and the careful flattery of everyone in the Duke of Qin's mansion. Even those who originally felt that Zhang Chen was acting overbearing and arrogant couldn't help but feel...
It seems that the eldest son of the Duke of Qin is quite easy to get along with. However, after all, they are competitors, and the atmosphere at the banquet cannot be truly harmonious.
Zhang Shou, who seemed to have had a few too many drinks, used his drunkenness to smile and said: "You just need to remember, don't be afraid, don't be timid, be upright, frank and sincere in front of the emperor. It's not like you're going to be the top scholar.
The emperor will not ask you about the Four Books and the Five Classics. Please show the courage of a man to stand up for yourself."
When others responded, either true or false, he slowly said: "There is one more thing you should remember. There are few willow trees blowing on the branches, and there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world. The girl you are waiting for
, maybe still in a dimly lit place, waiting for you to look back suddenly. So, don’t be discouraged just because of a marriage. You must know that there is a long time to come.”
Perhaps not every dandy has read the vast number of Song poems, but they have heard of many of the beautiful and timeless famous lines. At this moment, Zhang Shou first pointed out the topic with "Where is the grass in the end of the world, and then used the light of the lamp"
At the end of the show, they were stunned for a moment, and then someone started laughing without even realizing it.
After a luncheon, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu volunteered to stay and help Zhang Chen clean up, while Zhu Er, with a smile on his face, invited Zhang Shou to ride back to the Duke of Zhao's Mansion. When the car left the Duke of Qin's Mansion, it was only a stone's throw away.
When he came to the place, Zhu Er suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Dr. Zhang, have you thought about what to do with your marriage to Yingying later?"
Zhang Shouzheng was thinking about the emperor's choice of a son-in-law as the carriage jolted. He was distracted for a moment and did not hear Zhu Er's words clearly. He thought he was talking about the marriage of the princesses and princesses, so he replied casually: "Of course it is the emperor."
Just do whatever you say."
Zhu Er's eyes suddenly widened: "Do you still want the emperor to personally arrange your marriage?"
What is all this and what? Zhang Shou finally came to his senses. After asking Zhu Er the previous question, he suddenly became ashamed. However, Zhu Er did point out his biggest problem now. No one has no money and no house...
...In a place like the capital where things are expensive, let alone a doctor of the Imperial Academy, even if he is a third-grade minister, he cannot even think of marrying a wife based on his salary alone.
Of course, compared with these external things, the most important thing is that although he has become accustomed to the bright girl and has gradually fallen in love with her, he still lacks the step to make it happen.
Seeing that Zhang Shou was silent, Zhu Er thought that Ah Liu had squeezed out the driver outside and was driving the car himself, so he coughed and muttered in a very small voice: "Don't blame me for not reminding you that my family
Grandma and mother are quietly preparing for Yingying's marriage. Maybe as soon as my father comes back, she will get married first before my eldest brother and I have settled down."
At this point, he looked at Zhang Shou a little unruly: "If you want to marry Yingying, you must at least show a little more sincerity! Although I shouldn't say this, Yingying is obviously very attracted to you, but
Getting married requires all kinds of expenses. Yingying has been pampered and pampered for so many years, how can you bear to have her endure hardships with you? "
"Of course I don't want to give it up." Zhang Shou smiled slightly, and then said lightly, "She deserves the best. So, she and I are still young, so there is no need to rush." I had originally thought that if I married her in the future, I would naturally
I want to give her a beautiful wedding.
"Tsk..."
Zhu Er was about to laugh at these empty words, but he found that Zhang Shou's eyes were blurred, as if he was in a daze, so he finally closed his mouth. Now that he felt bad for a while, he would be under Zhang Shou's control when he turned around. What's more, when the emperor summoned him
As long as Zhang Shou said a few words casually, his little shoes would be ready! So he quickly changed his tone.
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to remind you, be prepared, don't wait until it's too late when you are forced to get married. My grandmother's dowry for Yingying was prepared for I don't know how many years, and it cost hundreds of dollars at least. As for the betrothal gift
, you don’t have to worry at all. Over the years, even poor men from poor families have often married into ladies of the world. Is it possible that they all have to drain their wealth?"
"Just wait peacefully for her to marry into your Zhang family!"
