In Zhang's mother's yard, the atmosphere was warm.
Night has come, the lanterns are high in the garden, the torches are bright, and the garden is illuminated like daylight. Zhang Chengxi is the protagonist of today's banquet.
Zhang Jia Fuxing seemed to see hope in Zhang Chengxi. The old lady was so happy that she seemed to be a few dozen years younger. The younger generations were inspired by Zhang Chengxi's blood, and the girls hated their daughters one by one.
For the rest of your life, you should read poems and books, and then the Houchan Palace will win the laurels, climb the Jinluan Temple, and serve the emperor. If Zhang Jiaerlang has such aspirations, why the Zhang family is not happy?
Zhang Chengxi will start from running a school, launching a Guanshan poetry society, recruiting young talents, and making the Zhang family a veritable Yangzhou first-class family. It has to be said that his idea is much bigger than Zhang Chengdong's, and he is also loved by Zhang's mother heart.
As for whether these ideas can be realized, whether the Zhang family can really be prosperous, Zhang's mother will be a female stream, where will she manage? Anyway, Zhang Chengxi looked more and more pleasing to her eyes, the ancestors were happy, and the servants, maids, and minions in the yard were relaxed.
In the inner house, the sky and the earth are bigger than the ancestors, and the ancestors are uncomfortable, so the minions don't think about living a good life. The ancestors are comfortable, and the minions can live comfortably.
Therefore, today the Zhang family can be said to be a family celebration, as lively as the New Year!
In this lively and festive atmosphere, everyone Cui suddenly walked in from outside the courtyard with small steps, and she walked all the way to the old lady's ears and said this to the old lady.
The smile on Mother Zhang's face, who was originally smiling, quickly faded, and her eyes suddenly became sharp.
The yard calmed down instantly, and everyone looked at Mother Zhang.
Mother Zhang's voice was suddenly uplifted, sharp and piercing, like a blade: "Who told him to do this? Auntie's son is sick. If there are three long and two shortcomings in the aunt's son, how can my Zhang family explain to the grandmother's house?"
When Mother Zhang said this, Ya Que was silent in the audience, and Hua Hanyun cried secretly.
After all, the paper couldn't contain the fire, and this matter went to the old lady's side. Brother Lu Jiazheng entered the Guanshan Academy, which greatly violated the old lady's meaning.
For Lu Zheng's treatment, the old lady had a clear meaning, that is, no matter what, she must not send him to the academy.
In the words of the old lady, reading is not something that everyone can read. It is natural and destined for anyone to be able to read. For a background like Lu Zheng, his fate is not for reading. How can he be sent to a college? go with?
Now that Zhang Chengdong has violated her wishes, how can she feel better?
The story about Lu Zheng has actually been spread in the Zhang family for a long time. The wives and grandmothers in the family know about it. Not to mention the maids and servants. This matter has been discussed among the servants since the afternoon. In fact, the old man The wife knew last.
Everyone of Cui is throwing this out at this time. Does she dare not hide it from the old lady, or does she have ulterior motives?
Hua Hanyun looked at Brother Hao. Brother Hao had just returned from the academy. I'm afraid no one would dare to tell him the whole story. Zhang Chengxi was even more confused!
Immediately, Hua Hanyun giggled and said, "Brother Hao, Guanshan Academy is actually opened for you! Speaking of learning, who can compare with Brother Hao in the entire Guanshan Academy? But there is something I can do. I have to remind you that your uncle was really boring to see you in the college. No, I sent the brother Zheng from my aunt's home to the college.
This pickle is really good at making tricks slippery, but he just wants to die and study. The eldest wife has personally tested his knowledge, and I can't read the "Thousand-Character Essay" completely. Brother Hao, the elder has brought this dish to you.
The one-third acre of land in the academy is all within your control. You have to give your sisters and grandma a sigh of anger! "
When Hua Hanyun said this, Zhang Haoran reacted.
The last time he and Hua Hanyun were allies, in order to deal with Brother Hao, they broke into a great disaster. He was afraid that the disaster would not be able to take care of it, so he went to the academy and dared not come back.
This time he finally returned, and he heard the news that Lu Zheng was going to the academy again. How could he not hate it for a while?
Zhang Haoran is in a good mood today. His father is back. From now on, the Zhang family will be his father. The uncle Zhang Haoran is very jealous. The Zhang family is from Zhang's mother, everyone dotes on Brother Hao, when he is Zhang's Wenqu star, the only exception is Zhang Chengdong.
Zhang Chengdong didn't want to eat Zhang Haoran's set. Last time he slapped Zhang Haoran's face with a mouth, and Zhang Haoran still feels a burning pain on his face when he thinks about it.
"Okay, this pickled smelt went to the academy! That's great. I'd like to see what he can learn. When I was a child, I would listen to people's noise, saying that the grandmother's family is a family of three males, and the character is not normal, this Once, I would like to compare with this surnamed Lu to see who is really unusual."
Zhang Haoran shouted loudly, and he suddenly got excited. When he was provoked by Zhang Chengxi's words just now, he was still thinking how to show his face, and now a Lu Zheng popped out. Isn't this just a chance?
The safflower needs green leaves. Lu Zheng is not a green leaf. At most, he can only be regarded as a clown, but it is because of such clowns that he can set off the limelight of Zhang Haoran's study of Guanshan Academy!
Zhang Chengxi also figured out what was going on. In fact, he was able to come back from the capital this time, which was somewhat related to Lu Zheng.
The old lady in the family was really dissatisfied with her eldest brother. She was sick at home. The family letter was sent to the capital, and Zhang Rong had the idea of letting Zhang Chengxi go home. Zhang Chengxi wanted to go home a long time ago because he was born in the capital of the Imperial College. Identity, he didn't dare to mention his identity in the capital, for fear of being hurt by others.
However, when he returned to Yangzhou, the students of the Imperial College in Beijing still had some weight. Since the Emperor Xinde took office, the Dakang Dynasty issued the "Order for the Selection of Talents" many times, advocating officials at all levels to be the country's talents, in order to make up for the lack of selection of surveying talents by the officials .
Zhang Chengxi has this identity, and then he can use some local influence or make some money secretly. It is not difficult to find opportunities. Yangzhou belongs to Nanzhili. There are also six yamen in Yingtian. Zhang Chengxi is looking for one here. Errands are much easier than in the capital.
For these reasons, Zhang Chengxi had already fully understood Lu Zheng's origins on his way back. Now that he heard that his eldest brother had sent this guy to the academy, he didn't care at all, and said:
"Big brother did this thing right! I'm dignified by the Zhang family, can I still be bluffed by the Lu family? My aunt's grandmother asked Brother Zheng to come to Zhang's family for studying. My Zhang family has to stop it for fear of making outsiders laugh.
I know this clank brother. It is said that he is a little bit anxious, but he is not a clever one in studying and pursuing academic studies. Taking a step back, even if he is really a student, I am not afraid of Zhang Jiaerlang! "
Zhang Chengxi beckoned and said to Zhang Haoran, "Haoran, I know that there are some contradictions between you and Brother Zheng. This kid has made you a bit of a loss by stealing, rape, and slippery. This is just right, you will treat you as the person who is spurring you. The sharpening stone of forge ahead, jade cannot be a weapon without cutting it.
Your temperament just needs to be tempered, and you will be able to achieve something in the spring of next year! "
Zhang Haoran said: "Yes, father, don't worry. I really didn't look at this brother! He is just a clown. The ancestors have said that reading is not something that everyone can do, like this I want to be successful in reading, hehe, it's not that I underestimated him, that is absolutely impossible!"
He paused, and then said: "Anyway, our Guanshan Academy also offers economics and mathematics. Lu Zheng can learn a few words and recognize a few words in economics and mathematics. In the future, he will be able to see the Zhuangzi at his aunt's house and collect rent. , That was the greatest good fortune in his life.
If he can have such good luck in the future, I have to thank my Zhang family for his cultivation and support! "
When Zhang Chengxi and Zhang Haoran sang together, Hua Hanyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She still can’t understand why Zhang Chengdong gave Lu Zheng such a great opportunity. He only knows that since this happened, she must not let the old lady get angry again. Once Zhang Chengdong left, Dafang was in a predicament. Subtle, if you irritate the old lady again, then the days will be sad.
Sure enough, the old lady looked a lot better, and she said, "Brother Hao is ambitious, it's okay! Let the guy from the Lu family also know how powerful our Qianliju is!"
When the old lady said this, she immediately flattered her, everyone exaggerated, vying for one by one, for fear that the nice things that fell behind would be finished by others.
Zhang Haoran was even more proud. The previous depression and unhappiness seemed to have been swept away tonight.
"Lu Zheng, kid, wait and see, when you get to the academy, I, Zhang Haoran, let you not eat and walk around!" Zhang Haoran secretly vowed in his heart.
With this idea, he even couldn't wait to hope that Lu Zheng could go to Guanshan Academy as soon as possible, so that he could use his methods to make this kid unable to survive or die, so that he could quell his hatred!
Zhang Jing was depressed all night, and saw that Zhang Haoran was praised as a flower by his family. It was really delicious.
Both are grandsons of the old ancestors, why is Zhang Haoran so favored, Zhang Jing, the grandson, is now the eldest grandson, so he has to be angry at both ends?
Immediately he couldn't help saying: "Brother Hao, take a moment, don't walk and step on the banana peel and plant somersault. If you have trouble at home, if you stumble, you can sneak to the academy to hide from the limelight. You belong to the ancestors. Baby, no one dared to laugh at you. But if you stumble in the academy, is it possible that you can go home and hide? Then you are not the one who is making fun of others, and the Zhang family will make a fool of yourself!"
When Zhang Jing said this, Hua Hanjun's face turned pale, and said angrily: "Are you going to die? I didn't see the old lady's face just getting better..."
Zhang Jing drank a few glasses of wine, and became a little drunk. He became more courageous. When Hua Hanyun stopped him, he became more vigorous, hehe smiled, and said, "I'm just telling the truth. These days, I see No one at home dared to tell the truth, a child can blow to the sky, shame or shame?
If Zhang family ancestors and ancestors are alive, I'm afraid they will die immediately..."
