Zhang Chen came out of Zhang Shou's house, naturally depressed. Even if he didn't really admire Princess Yongping so much, he just held his breath, but when he thought that he could memorize a lot of poems and songs, but if he wanted to write, he would be completely blind, not to mention the eight strands of literature that gave him a headache at first sight, he was still angry.

After Zhang Shou asked him if he could write a Bagu essay, he said a few words that made him even more speechless: "She talked to you about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you told her to fight cocks and walk dogs; She talks to you about the desolation of the universe, and you talk to her about delicacies; She talked to you about the rise and fall of the world, and you told her to ask for the land...... Since ancient times, talented women love talented people, that's because they can talk together, are you sure you can talk to Princess Yongping? ”

"Of course, Princess Yongping is not one of those talented women who have to chant poems, talk about metaphysics and reasoning, and don't love fame. But there are two types of people she keeps away. First, I'm a poor man who doesn't go to the science field; Second, you are such a noble son who does not seek progress. ”

Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, who came together, happened to meet Zhang Chen head-on, and when they saw that they lowered their heads and thought about their own thoughts, they didn't pay attention to them at all, so they couldn't help but glance at each other. Zhang Lu's eyes flashed, and he excused himself to ask what was going on, but he hurriedly turned around and chased after him. In this way, Zhang Wu, who wanted to talk to Zhang Shou alone, simply went to the front of the house alone and knocked on the door.

When Zhang Shou opened the door and entered the house, although he had a stomach full of words to say, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything, so he could only talk about him left and right at the moment, and inquire about Lu Sanlang's marriage. Regarding this topic, Zhang Shou was naturally quiet, and all of them were pushed to Zhu Ying's ancient way. Faced with such a result, Zhang Wu hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't help it.

"The teacher said before that what I need most is not my in-laws, but a noble person who is willing to support me and support me, such a noble person is more reliable than my family. At the beginning, the teacher said that this person was Miss Zhu, but now it seems that it is better to say that it is the teacher himself. Although you are new to your career, you are a closed disciple of Ancestor Ge, and the emperor also called him a junior brother with a smile, so I am really lucky. ”

He didn't use the word Mr. Xiao anymore, but called the teacher very formally, and lowered his head: "Brother Chen is the head of the Banshan Hall, and Ah Lu and I are with him, and now I have a little prestige in the Banshan Hall, and because I am valued by the teacher, my father rarely has a little smile on me, the fifth-ranked concubine, and my mother is no longer openly suppressed." But ......"

After a pause, he raised his head and was about to continue, but he saw Zhang Shou suddenly stretch out his hand to stop him. He thought that Zhang Shou didn't like to listen to this kind of complaint, and when he was about to explain, he saw Zhang Shou suddenly smile at him.

"However, when you think of your father or mother-in-law, will you marry a wife at will, and you are afraid?" Seeing Zhang Wu bowing his head to acquiesce, Zhang Shou smiled and said, "When I was in the Cuiyun Pavilion, since I promised you your future and future on behalf of Yingying, of course I won't forget it." Lu Saburo's matter is just the beginning. ”

Although Zhang Shou did not explicitly agree, this last sentence is nothing less than a clear statement. For a while, Zhang Wu was surprised and delighted, and then hurriedly stood up. He also ignored his too big movements, almost kicked over the stool, and directly bowed and thanked: "Teacher, thank you for your great kindness, when I start a family in the future, I will never forget the kindness of you and the eldest lady!" ”

Zhang Shou didn't expect Zhang Wu to be so excited, and when he reached out to help, he had already knelt down on his knees. Thinking about Zhang Wu, as a wealthy concubine who is not valued and does not have too outstanding qualifications, his life has indeed been difficult for more than ten years - after all, it is impossible for everyone to be the protagonist of that kind of concubine's counterattack, although he accepted a salute, he still pulled Zhang Wu up.

When he pressed the person back on the stool again, he thoughtfully knocked on the table, looked at Zhang Wu and asked, "Lu Sanlang told me at the beginning that he wanted a gentle and lovely wife, but he couldn't blindly be virtuous and virtuous and follow the rules. And I just asked Zhang Chen, have you thought about who you want to marry in the future. Now, the same question, I ask you again, what is your own idea? ”

The real daughter of a famous family must not look down on him as a helpless and hopeless Houmen concubine.

And the ordinary small family Jasper may not be able to adapt to the complicated environment of the Hou Mansion, and he doesn't have much ability to protect her.

Zhang Wu took a deep breath, and finally said in a deep voice: "My mother-in-law is a powerful housewife, my sister-in-law is from a famous family, and she is a future clan wife, so she still has to bow down in front of her, let alone my wife?" I can't borrow much light from the Nanyang Hou Mansion, and my mother-in-law doesn't like to see me, so I hope that my future wife can help me separate the family! ”

Knowing that such a straightforward mention was really a bit rebellious, he simply said honestly: "I am a concubine, but my mother has been dead for many years, so after I leave the house and live in another house, she will not have a second mother-in-law on top of her head." Therefore, I hope to marry a famous side girl or concubine who is spicy, dares to fight, and has a bright temperament, as long as she can help me run the house. ”

"However, my status is too low, I used to follow Brother Chen, and I don't know much about the situation of the daughters of each family, especially those daughters who are not 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 restrained by your family, haven't you thought about the lord? ”

Ahem –

After the initial stunned, Zhang Wu almost choked to death from his own saliva, and coughed earth-shatteringly. After it was easy to recover, he smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, don't joke with me." The princess of this dynasty is not more arrogant than the princess of the Tang Dynasty, nor is she easier to be bullied than the princess of the Song Dynasty. ”

Seeing Zhang Shou still with a playful smile on his face, he felt even more embarrassed: "I am a Houmen concubine who has achieved nothing, if I am really the master, I can immediately open a mansion with the princess, and no matter how powerful and shrewd my mother-in-law is, I don't dare to put any mother-in-law in front of the princess, and I will never go to the gate of the princess's mansion in the future, of course I am willing to do it, but how can that be!" ”

"Where there's a will, there's a way." Zhang Shou joked, but after all, he didn't reveal anything about Princess Deyang, and he never mentioned that Zhang Chen claimed to be interesting to Princess Yongping. He stood up suddenly, went to the door and opened the door and called Ah Liu, and when a figure appeared in front of him very abruptly, he smiled and stretched out his hand. The next moment, Ah Liu handed over the secret box.

took the box and turned back, and saw Zhang Wu standing up dumbfounded, his face suddenly turned red, and he said casually: "If the words enter Ah Liu's ears, then no fourth person will know, and you don't have to worry about leaking." As for this box, it is the relic of Taizu that the emperor rewarded me at today's court meeting. ”

Zhang Wu suddenly forgot the shame that he had just confided in his heart but was heard by Ah Liu, and his eyes were round. watched Zhang Shou come over slowly, put the secret box on the table, and then dialed the turntable to open the lock. When the pile of manuscripts was placed on the table, he was even more breathless, until he found that the words on the paper were like heavenly books, and he did not know any of them, and he was greatly disappointed.

"I want you to copy this manuscript exactly as it is. Of course, this is not easy, you can call Zhang Chen and Zhang Lu together, if Lu Sanlang is free, I will also ask him to do a favor. After copying, I will return the manuscript to the emperor. After all, it is not appropriate to keep Taizu's posthumous manuscript in my hands. ”

Zhang Shou did not show the watch on his wrist, and when he saw that Zhang Wu's face showed excitement, he further explained: "When I received the gift, I didn't think about it for a while, so I will go back and explain this verse clearly. When you're done copying one, if you're willing, you'll help me copy a few more. ”

If this were replaced by some people, it would naturally be bitter, but Zhang Wu is afraid of nothing to do now, and he is afraid of marginalization, where is he afraid of hard work? He heard Zhang Shou's voice, and immediately asked, "Does the teacher want to give it away?" ”

"Teacher, Mr. Qi, Mr. Chu, and Wang Dayin of Shuntianfu, I plan to send a copy. Even if the emperor returned the original and sent a copy for him to flip through in his spare time, it would be good. After all, the original is a hundred and eighty-year-old thing, which can be damaged at any time, and reading too much is not conducive to preservation. Of course, I'll still hand over the things to Ah Liu for safekeeping, and you all come to me to copy them. ”

Hearing that it was going to be sent to the imperial front, Zhang Wu would not hesitate, and immediately nodded heavily: "Teacher, rest assured, we will copy it as it is, and we will never make a mistake!" I'm going to find Brother Chen and Ah Lu! ”

Seeing that Zhang Wu respectfully saluted, turned around and trotted out of the door, Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile. As a result, the next moment, he saw Ah Liu's eyes in front of the door looking at him deeply: "Why?" ”

Zhang Shou didn't expect Ah Liu to ask why, he was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "The teacher has something, and the disciple obeys him." Besides, being able to put their manuscript in front of the emperor, Mr. Ge, Mr. Qi, Mr. Chu, and Wang Dayin is naturally beneficial to them. I'm also giving them an opportunity to practice. ”

"Actually, it's to be lazy, right?"

"Nonsense!" Zhang Shou rebuked Ah Liu's unreasonable speculation with a serious face, sorted out the Taizu Codex and put it back in the box, and threw it back to the young man, only then did he say solemnly, "I'm a training student!" ”

Taizu's posthumous manuscript is different from the watch on his wrist, which is a lot of trouble, and if he refuses to accept it in front of the emperor, and then claims to copy it, then he will have to do it himself, not to mention the painstaking effort, and he must be careful not to reveal the flaws that he can master the twenty-six English letters, how can he send students to save effort?

And the students will be happy to have the opportunity to do so!

It's the best of both worlds!
