Chapter 172: Knowing Home in the Distance

Zhang Zhong wanted to make a poem about the beautiful scenery in spring, but looking at the peach blossoms reflected in the water, he felt that his nose was a little sour, he rubbed his eyes with his hands, and muttered:

"A river and a glass of wine, go out to fight for spring, and the branches shine at night. Xiaoqiao looked at his father and returned to Yan, strategizing between the water and the clouds. Regardless of the money, the state capital is followed by Chang'an. ”

After Zhang Zhong finished reading this improvised poem, he raised his sleeve and rubbed the corner of his eye, then without saying a word, he poured himself wine and drank it there slowly.

The other talented people who came with him didn't know why Zhang Zhong wrote such a sad poem with such a good scenery.

Only Cheng County Ling can feel the thoughts in Zhang Zhong's heart, Zhang Xiaobao, everything has been arranged, if you want money, you want people, Zhang Zhong has not been wronged from the moment he left home.

These days, countless places have been arranged, except for the palace that cannot be entered, there is nothing else that cannot be entered, such as this Qujiang Pond, is it possible for ordinary people to come? For example, the hibiscus garden, should it be your own home?

But Zhang Zhong was able to go in, and he also brought some officials or students who were also rushing to take the exam, which took a lot of effort, except for the care of Shangshu and Xiao Houye, just the dried fungus and dried white fungus were sent in large bags and bags, and all kinds of fresh vegetables were transported together with the soil at the fastest speed.

Countless money and property were thrown in, countless things were given out, and the two best restaurants, for this matter, gave a lot of officials a free card, as long as they went here to eat, they didn't have to spend money.

Not to mention anything else, there are more than 26,000 yuan of money flowing out of his hands alone, and any family has something to give a big gift, as long as it is above the six grades, no one will fall.

I'm just one aspect, and those shops, together there are nearly thirty, no matter what they sell, I don't remember anything else, but some officials' mansions are remembered clearly, as long as they see that it is those mansions who come out to buy things, they either give the capital or don't need money.

Even those subordinates also sent benefits, which brought in countless intelligence, so that Zhang Zhong was like a fish in water in Chang'an, behind all this, there is Zhang Xiaobao's figure, even if someone is pointing when he does it, but after all, he is a child, busy coming and going, isn't he tired, and the person who spreads the word is not so good.

Other people's children may not be able to remember these things, Zhang Xiaobao must memorize them first, and then arrange them, I have never heard of that master personally handling anything.

Zhang Zhong's heart thought more than Cheng County's order, Cheng County's order just thought that Zhang Xiaobao was tired, but Zhang's father understood that his good son not only had to take care of money, but also had to find a way to exchange some benefits with others, and take care of the family, Xiaobao had always been reluctant to let Qiao'er work too hard.

The letter never mentioned any difficulties at home, but the more this happened, the more it showed that there was a lot of trouble there, and people from Huayuan County who were rushing to take the exam would also write letters to their families.

You should ask yourself, otherwise you don't know what difficulties are at home.

"Good poems, Brother Yongcheng can improvise and make such good poems, and he is really a well-known talent in the surrounding state capitals, this exam, I think Brother Yongcheng is the chance to win."

One person next to him applauded first, and the others also echoed it, only Zhang Zhong knew that the thing he wrote was far from it, but isn't that what reputation is all about.

Listening to the applause of others, Zhang Zhong came to a person with a wine and said, "Brother Qi Yun, I don't know if there is a letter from your family, what does the letter say?" I haven't heard from my home yet. ”

This person's name is Guan Feng Guan Qiyun, he is from Huayuan County, his family has a little money, he received the letter yesterday, Zhang Zhong knew about it, so he came to ask.

Many people don't know Zhang Zhong's identity, but they only know that he has a good talent and lives in Sanshui County.

When Guan Feng heard Zhang Zhong ask, he immediately thought of the matter at home, and said to Zhang Zhong: "Brother Yongcheng is polite, in fact, there is really nothing big about my family, but if it is not necessarily, there are some small things, there is a Zhang family Zhuangzi in Sanshui County, and Brother Yongcheng is also surnamed Zhang, I don't know if it has something to do with that Zhang family."

Let's not mention this first, it turns out that there are two Zhuangzi in the county, that is, the Han family and the Yuan family, but one of the Hou Ye who offended was arrested, and their family sold the Zhuangzi, guess who sold it to? Sold to Zhangjia Zhuangzi, Zhangjia Zhuangzi was really wealthy, and he took out 50,000 yuan at once.

The current Zhang family is more powerful than before, but there are really people who are not afraid of their family, that is, the Chen family, which was originally next to the Yuan family, and the head of his family is a person in the cloth industry.

As soon as the Zhang family took Zhuangzi over, just in time for the spring ploughing, the Chen family cut off the water, the river was from the Chen family, not only the water was cut off, but also the road with the past was broken, planted with thorns, I heard that many people suffered in the Zhang family, the Chen family still dared to do this, the courage is not small. ”

"What? Cut off the water? So how to spring plough on the Zhuangzi? Zhang Zhong's heart jumped when he heard this, and he asked nervously, he immediately thought of the consequences of this matter, without water, you can't plow the land, what can Xiaobao and Qiao'er do? It must be sad, where do you get water?

Guan Feng deliberately paused, picked up the bowl and took a sip of wine, and then took a quick shot of garlic and cucumber, looked at the eager eyes of the people around him, and then said:

"I heard that the housekeeper of the Zhang family went to look for it, and he searched for it twice in a row, but he was embarrassed by the Chen family both times, and it must be useless, and the Chen family also sarcastically mocked the Zhang family, saying that they didn't dare to have anything to do with them, and then guess what?"

"How's it going?" A few people around who liked to hear this kind of thing asked in unison.

Zhang Zhong didn't ask, his fists were already clenched, thinking that when he was admitted this time, he must let the Chen family know that he was powerful, and he would definitely not be spared by bullying Qiao'er and Xiaobao while the head of the family was not at home.

Then let those who wanted to see the excitement once again see the power of the Zhang family, the Chen family cut off the water on their side, and the Zhang family diverted the river at the most critical point, and it was arranged in only one night the morning after the Chen family planted the thorns.

Now the Chen family is stupid, and they went to beg the Zhang family's housekeeper again, it's really unpleasant to retribution, oh, you may not know what's going on with the river over there, I'll tell you about it, the river is ....... ”

Guan Feng spoke excitedly, as if he was from the Zhang family, and introduced the terrain to other people who didn't know the situation.

Zhang Zhong didn't need to listen to this introduction, could he not know where his house was, he was angry and worried just now, but now he smiled, he knew that this must be his son Xiaobao who made a move, this way of doing things, except for Xiaobao can not find a second person.

Thinking of the appearance of the Chen family when there was no water, Zhang Zhong couldn't help laughing, Cheng Xianling leaned over next to him and said to Zhang Zhong: "Brother Yongcheng, don't worry about your family, are you still afraid of this kind of thing in that family?" It's just a Chen family's Zhuangzi, and it's too simple to clean them up. ”

"Well, what Cheng County Ling said is that Zhuangzi's side is quite safe, I wonder if Cheng County Ling has ever received a letter from Sanshui County? I came here the day before yesterday, and I didn't say anything, just said that the flowers are blooming, and the farmers are working fast. ”

Zhang Zhong didn't expect any letters from his family to ponder now, and if he wanted to know, he could only ask others.

Cheng Xianling hesitated for a moment and said: "This, it's not a secret, there is indeed a letter, Brother Yongcheng wants to know, so I will tell you to listen, but you must not miss the right thing, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to do it here." ”

"Say it and see what's going on." Zhang Zhong is not so worried now, but he feels sorry for his son, the Zhang family's stall is big, and his son and daughter-in-law have to be busy managing people while settling accounts, and at the same time they have to study, and there are one or two who come to make trouble, and they are still children from morning to night.

When Cheng County Commander was about to speak, he suddenly shuddered, took a deep breath, and then said to Zhang Zhong: "I told you that you can, but you can't be too excited, your family is determined to arrange people for the county order of Sanshui County this time, and they will bring new plows and expand the small river and build a workshop...... The benefits of these things were given to Zhang Mingsheng and Zhao Xiang there. ”

Cheng Xianling said those things one by one, and drank while saying that he himself was afraid that he would not be able to control his trembling.

Zhang Zhong was also dumbfounded when he heard it, he didn't expect that Xiaobao had done so many things after leaving home for such a long time, but he had an incomprehensible idea in his heart, and asked, "What are they going to do?" ”

"Yes, Zhang Mingsheng and Zhao Xiang also thought of this, what is the Zhang family going to do, the result is...... Your family not only wants to push two people to the top, but also wants Sanshui County to change from a middle county to an upper county, and a major event has been reported, and it won't take long to think that Sanshui County will be a county. ”

As long as Cheng Xianling thought of this, he couldn't control himself, and his hand holding the chopsticks clenched tightly.

Zhang Chong was also excited, he didn't expect his son to be so capable, he couldn't tell what mood he was in, Zhang's Zhuangzi is famous now, the world is so big, which Zhuangzi can push a county up? His own Zhangjia Zhuangzi can, and his baby son has this ability.

may have been accustomed to his son's power, Zhang Zhong didn't tremble, just laughed there, thinking about his Zhuangzi in a Shangxian county in the future, he didn't know that he couldn't go back to Sanshui County to be an official.

Cheng Xianling hadn't personally experienced that incident, and his mood was different, so he was fine after a while, looked at Zhang Zhong there and smiled, and said, "Brother Yongcheng, are you relieved now?" Zhuangzi has nothing to do, you have to take the exam with peace of mind. ”
