Chapter seven hundred and sixty third choosing a day is worse than hitting the sun
Zhang Shou's wedding a few days ago was held with great splendor and without any chaos. The Duke of Qin and other mansions borrowed the high-quality servants from the past, and strictly controlled every process. Naturally, they deserve the greatest credit. Of course.
Everyone from top to bottom in Zhang Yuan knew that this wedding could be held flawlessly, and the people who should be most grateful were the students of Zhang Shou who volunteered to help.
And the most outstanding person among them, apart from Lu Sanlang, who was the praiser, was Zhang Chen.
You know, Zhang Chen was polite and generous throughout the whole process from welcoming the bride to entertaining guests. Even though many people have heard of Zhang Chen's changes, after all, he is not an emperor like Lu Sanlang.
Seeing is believing. Seeing with your own eyes that the prominent figures among the playboys in the capital in the past can now treat people so maturely, everyone is extremely sad.
But Zhang Chen himself was like a wilted vegetable on the second day of the wedding. He didn't go out for several days. People who didn't know thought that he had trouble with Zhu Ying's old love, so after she really married as Zhang's wife,
, I couldn't bear it... But people from the Zhang family of the Duke of Qin, such as Zhang Chen's parents, knew that Zhang Chen used too much force at once, so he was weak in the follow-up.
Dressing up beautifully and acting as the best man to welcome the bride, and then welcoming guests in front of others, all kinds of people who usually don't want to deal with have to be greeted with smiles, and all kinds of things that usually don't like to be said have to be said bravely... The most important thing
However, some older girls and younger wives who were watching the excitement only had Zhang Shou in their eyes, which greatly disappointed Zhang Chen, who had originally planned to take the opportunity to hunt for beauty.
There were too few unmarried daughters who went to Zhang Yuan for the banquet, so they wanted to take the opportunity to see if there were any suitable girls who could be used as marriage candidates. This purpose was completely defeated, and it was inevitable that Zhang Chen would not be motivated afterwards.
Therefore, he completely forgot about the bet. When he slept until three o'clock in the morning as usual, and then heard the news from his servants that Zhang Shou was coming, he was confused for a while before his head was clear.
Then he asked stupidly: "What is he doing here? I didn't skip classes. When I come back from Cangzhou, my studies at Banshan Hall are over."
"I'm no longer a prison student!"
The boy who came to report was so stupid that his eldest son cried. Banshantang is no longer in the Imperial College, but you still regard Xueshi Zhang as your teacher? And the problem is, I did not say that they are here to arrest you.
It’s a lesson! A few days ago you were talking so aggressively about making a bet with the Fourth Prince. It’s only been a few days, why have you completely forgotten about it?
So, he could only remind him tactfully, but Zhang Chen had eaten and slept in the past few days. The rest of the time he was in a daze, and his brain was several times slower than usual. He had already pointed out the word "bet", Zhang Chen
He was still at a loss.
Now, convinced that his young master was hopeless, the young man simply retreated out and respectfully brought Zhang Shouqing in, along with, of course, the fourth prince who seemed to be his follower and several others.
Although the boy could tell at a glance that someone behind Zhang Shou was looking around, and the unruly child was definitely not a follower, and must be the real owner of the bet with his young master, he still did not say anything to expose it. Anyway, his family
The master has long said that if Bachelor Zhang comes to visit, he must be received well regardless of whether he is present or not, so Zhang Chen's wishes will not matter.
Such a salty young master should be whipped up like a top, otherwise he will really be dried out by the winter sun!
Sure enough, when the young man brought Zhang Shou and his entourage directly to Zhang Chen, the young master, who was still there blankly, stared at the visitor for a long time, and then he jumped up with a strange cry.
"Little, little, little, little...teacher!"
When he heard such a title, Zhang Shou was okay, and the fourth prince burst out laughing. Obviously, he originally planned to call him Mr., but after biting his tongue, he thought it would be more appropriate to call him teacher! And the fourth prince
Behind the prince, although Luo Sanhe had seen Zhang Chen several times from a distance, this was the first time for him to have such a close encounter. This lowered his evaluation of Zhang Chen by another three points.
However, after stuttering, Zhang Chen suddenly came to his senses as if he had been enlightened: "This is the beginning of the bet between me and the fourth prince. Are you planning to go to Tongzhou?"
After saying this, seeing Zhang Shou looking at him with a half-smile, and remembering his decadence in the past two days, he pretended to be relaxed and glanced at the fourth prince, with a look of victory on his face: "Just the three of them.
, it’s a hundred years too early to win against me! I’ve been recharging my energy these past few days, and I’ll definitely beat them when the time comes!”
If the fourth prince had heard such contemptuous words in the past, he would have immediately become furious. However, now he is surprisingly calm and looks at Zhang Chen indifferently, as if an adult is looking at an ignorant child, completely
Turned upside down. Sure enough, this glance made Zhang Chen furious.
However, before Zhang Chen could continue to provoke, Zhang Shou ended the brief confrontation and announced the newly joined Luo Sanhe and the judges. When he said this, Zhang Chen, who had just been angry with the fourth prince, immediately
Shifting his attention, he looked Luo Sanhe up and down first, and then he put aside the promise of the Chief Ceremony Supervisor and focused his attention entirely on another matter.
"What does this have to do with Miss Ye? Are all the men in the capital dead? Do you want her to be the judge as a woman?"
"If you dare to say this in front of her, Zhang Chen, you will die right now." The fourth prince said something cool. Seeing Zhang Chen's face suddenly turned dark, he said seriously, "Teacher, don't you?"
He might go to Tongzhou to be our judge. So, no matter who goes, Senior Brother Lu, who among us will be convinced? Brother Six is very suitable, but the problem is, Brother Six cannot leave the teacher."
"At times like this, those who can speak are not as good as those who can fight. So when judging Miss Ye, the teacher must be thinking that she can fight, but we can't beat her. And even if we want to rely on more to win... are you embarrassed to deal with a woman?
?”
Of course I'm embarrassed...that's weird! Zhang Chen's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he wanted to give the naughty kid a good punch. However, with Zhang Shou by his side, the fourth prince arrogantly made faces at him, but he could only
Suppress this anger in his heart. Not to mention that Zhu Ying tried to match him up with Ye, but it didn't work out, but even if it didn't happen, he wouldn't embarrass a woman.
Of course, this woman is not so weak that she will be easily stumped... And because of her character, she probably won't favor the fourth prince, and of course she will never favor him. As for favoring Luo Sanhe, a chamberlain of Qianqing Palace,
That would be even more impossible. If given the choice, Ye would definitely let all three of them lose.
So, he stopped looking at the fourth prince's provocation, coughed, and said seriously: "That's it, teacher, just tell me when you are going to Tongzhou."
"Then let's do it today." Zhang Shou said these five words lightly. Seeing Zhang Chen stunned for a moment, he chuckled and said, "There is a saying that it is better to choose a day than to hit it. You have been betting for many days. This
It just so happens that my marriage has been delayed for a few days. If I don't start now, it will be the Chinese New Year. If I go to Tongzhou today, I can get a result before the Chinese New Year."
Seeing that Zhang Chen's face was still a little stupid, he said unhurriedly: "Besides, didn't you say that you had already recharged your batteries? Are you not ready yet?"
Although he was just trying to be tough, Zhang Shou really used his words to block his mouth, and Zhang Chen was still speechless. He could only nod his head bitterly: "Today is the day. I'll let someone pack their luggage and we'll set off now."
!”
However, before he could think about how many people he was going to take, the fourth prince rushed to the front: "I just need to bring two sets of changes of clothes. What else do I need to pack? Besides, the five of us who are here are the ones who are going.
One person, not even one more, will do. If someone relies on family power and brings dozens of people, wouldn’t the other two parties lose?"
At this moment, Zhang Chen became really angry. After all, he was a pampered gentleman since he was a child. He would only worry about how many followers he would take with him when he went out, and he would never take no followers with him... Although he was not without any followers.
The servant can't even put on clothes, but it's true that he has no ability to live without his followers!
However, if he refutes the Fourth Prince's proposal, it will appear that he is guilty. For a moment, Zhang Chen only felt that a breath was held in his throat, and he was almost hurt internally.
And Zhang Shou didn't know what the naughty kid meant when he suddenly said this. Although he wanted to take the opportunity to give the people in front of him a test, he didn't deliberately set a nightmare-like difficulty for Zhang Chen.
Therefore, he glanced at the fourth prince who was thinking he had a trick, with a half-smile, and said lightly: "If you follow what Zheng Jing said, then if you have the ability, don't let Xiao Huahua and Xiao Cheng take care of them. That's right
It’s truly fair and reasonable. After all, one of Xiao Peanut and Xiao Cheng is familiar with the market, the other is good at martial arts, and they have two assistants, one in literature and the other in martial arts. You can’t get an advantage and behave like one!”
The fourth prince didn't expect that Zhang Shou would hit his weak spot with his words, and his face suddenly turned red. However, the naughty boy also knew that what he had just said seemed to be taking advantage of others, so he grimaced and did not dare to speak anymore.
At this time, Luo Sanhe looked like he wanted to say something fair, but when he spoke, Zhang Shou choked him back. Because what Zhang Shou said was the only concern in his heart.
"When Zhang Chen went to Xingtai and Cangzhou, he had some contact with people's livelihood, but most of the time he only dealt with the local rich and gentry. Those spinners and weavers, even if you come in person, you can't know the qualifications of their children.
, are you literate in reading? As for Luo Sanhe, how long have you not had contact with the people since you started studying? "
"So, if you go down this time, Luo Sanhe, I will lend you an entourage from the public school. You can take it with you to Tongzhou, so as not to get a black eye and then complain about Zheng Ying's scheme against you. As for Zhang Chen, I originally wanted to
You choose a capable entourage from your family, but then you think about it, maybe Zheng Jing is worried about the people in the properties in Tongzhou that you have with the help of the Duke of Qin."
Seeing Zhang Chen suddenly furious, Zhang Shou said slowly: "You are a competitive person, but you are also upright, so I think once you agree to the conditions, you will never ask for help from others, but you who came from the Duke of Qin's Palace
People might help you on their own initiative, so I won’t know for sure when the time comes. So, why don’t I lend you a follower from Zhang Yuan.”
"The person is Yang Hao from Rongshui Village. He is also half of Ah Liu's apprentice. Although he is a bit clumsy, he can still fight. Although he is not skilled in being a servant, he has at least learned how to take care of people's daily life. After all,
Ah Liu was training him as my follower at that time. The most important thing is that he can ensure that he will obey your orders and never do anything unnecessary."
Zhang Chen was a little familiar with the name Yang Hao - when he thought about it more carefully, he remembered that he was the grandson of Yang Laoguan. Although he was not allowed to bring his own entourage, this condition was a bit harsh, but the four princes and the two
This friend had only known each other for a few days, and the three of them together hadn't read many books together, so he felt that Zhang Shou's conditions were acceptable.
That's right, Mr. Zhang was so confused and confident that he had read more books than the three little guys of the Fourth Prince put together. He didn't think about it at all. He was the ancestor who skipped classes in Banshan Hall when he was a child.
I don’t know how many teachers I have been angry with when I was in college...
Luo Sanhe also felt that Zhang Shou's additional conditions were not a big problem, but he still cautiously expressed his hope that he could appoint his follower. He immediately named a certain person in the class he taught today.
The student - he was the only one who asked questions during class, and he left a deep impression on people.
Of course, Zhang Shou agreed wholeheartedly, but pretended not to see the fourth prince winking wildly at Xiao Huahua and Xiao Cheng behind his back. The fourth prince was indeed gloating about his misfortune to the point of going crazy. Although the three of them were soldiers of the intermediate class who were firmly established in the camp.
There were three soldiers who remained unchanged, but for those classmates who were like running water, he still tried hard to write down the name and general characteristics of each person.
For example, the one chosen by Luo Sanhe seemed to him to be out of his mind for the limelight. Those masters were already impatient with others and were too lazy to answer people's endless low-level questions. That is to say, Luo Sanhe was a new teacher.
, only people who don’t know anything would choose a guy with so many problems.
Anyway, Luo Sanhe will definitely regret his decision within a few days, so this is not his opponent at all!
And Zhang Chen... Although he got a boy from Zhang Yuan, he had been to Zhang Yuan several times, and he also knew who Yang Hao was. In his opinion, people are just because of harmony.
Zhang Shou was born in the same village, and he was the grandson of Yang Laoguan, the most "respectable" man in the village, so he was the first to be brought to Zhang Yuan, and then he got many opportunities.
But that kid was a little stupid despite his recklessness. He was just as stupid as Zhang Shou said. In comparison, Xiao Huahua was simply too smart, so nimble and agile that he couldn't control it.
Although Cheng is stubborn, at least being upright is an advantage, not to mention the good martial arts he learned from Zhu Tingfang.
So, the fourth prince, who was full of confidence, quietly waved his fists at the two friends, then looked at Zhang Shou and asked expectantly: "Teacher, how will we compete after we arrive in Tongzhou? Everyone in Tongzhou City
Demarcate an area and then give lectures to select people, or should three groups of people from the same area take turns teaching and see how to screen out the talents that can be developed among the same students?"
The next moment, he saw Zhang Shou's meaningful smile: "You will know when the time comes."
