Mirror of the Sky

The four personal maids sent by Xiongjing Zhang to serve Zhang Huansheng, all of which have seasons in their names, called Chunxi, Xiaye, Qiuhen, Dongyun, and at this time, it was Chun who walked into the quiet room to speak. hee.

After being together for a few days, these personal maids and Zhang Huansheng met from time to time, and they were considered acquaintances, but their attitude was always the same as before.

On the contrary, Zhang Huansheng had a fierce temperament on the inside and outside on the outside. He had known the maids for a long time, and his speech gradually became more casual, and he said casually: "The meal is not right at this time, what kind of meal do you use.

Did the cook in the main courtyard suffer from dizziness? "

"Gentleman, this is the rule of the manor," Chunxi explained lightly, "It's none of the cook's business.

If the head of the family is dealing with government affairs in the Yousi, and has not returned for many days, once he returns to the house, he will inevitably gather the family and nobles to gather in the main courtyard for dinner. "

"So that's the case." Zhang Huansheng nodded suddenly when he heard the words, and walked out of the quiet room.

The other maids and servants outside the door were all ready, and when they saw Zhang Xuansheng appeared, they crowded around him. in front of the building.

At this time, the garden under the stone steps outside the building was already full of servants and maids.

After Chunxi, who was leading the way, stood still, he turned his head and whispered to Zhang Huansheng, "Gentleman, this is the main courtyard. We servants can only wait outside. Come in quickly."

After listening, Zhang Huansheng nodded lightly as a response, and then quickly walked up the stone steps and walked into the wooden building under the watchful eyes of hundreds of servants around him.

Inside the building is a warm pavilion, surrounded by emerald screens on three sides, and some ingenious decorations. In the center is a red sandalwood table that is so large that it can seat more than 30 people.

At this time, an old man with a grim face was sitting on the main seat of the log table, and said solemnly: "This time, the people in the forest have even broken Quan, Yan, Xu... several countries have allied forces, and the bandits have plundered twenty-two cities and more than three hundred townships. Like entering nowhere.

If they let it go like this, they will be like a dog in the anniversary year, and they will become the danger of destroying the country..."

That old man was Zhang Maosong, the contemporary patriarch of the Xiongjing Zhang family who had met Zhang Huansheng in the official post and was respected as Duke Maosong.

While talking at length, he saw Zhang Huansheng burst into his eyes, and after a pause, he stretched out his finger and said, "Listen, everyone, this is the solitary son of the daughter of Duke Qingtan, and the seventh of my Xiongjing Zhang clan. The eldest son of the one hundred and thirty-eighth generation, he took a common name and was called Zhang Huansheng."

Zhang Maosong's tone was not flat, but after hearing this, the two old men on the table looked quite similar to him, with a shiny forehead and slender eyes, but he applauded and laughed: "What did I say just now? When I asked about good or bad luck, three images of great auspiciousness appeared one after another, and it turned out that it was the unicorn from my Xiongjing Zhang family who came out, no wonder, no wonder.";

One stood up directly, went up to meet Zhang Huansheng, held Zhang Huansheng's hand, pressed him firmly on the seat of honor on Zhang Maosong's right hand, and said, "I heard that you realized Chungmang at a young age. The power of destiny of Jun Yufeng and Zhaoyun, and the power of the great abyss in their bodies are also quite strong, and in the future, if I realize Zhu Jiuyin's supernatural powers, I will definitely be the hero of the generation of Xiongjing Zhang in the future.", his demeanor is very cordial.

Hearing these words, more than ten other people have already entered the table, and their expressions have changed subtly. Some of them suddenly changed color, while others smiled meaningfully, nodding their heads.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Maosong frowned and said, "Nan Lin, Qi He, don't talk nonsense, things in the future are ever-changing, how can they be determined now."

After that, without waiting for his two brothers to speak, he pointed at them and said to Zhang Huansheng: "This is your second ancestor Zhang Nanlin, fifth ancestor Zhang Qihe, and I are direct brothers, but they have long since separated.

Today, one is Dianshi of the Ministry of Housing, and the other is a transfer officer of the military battalion. I was called by me for something today. "

In the past few days, Zhang Huansheng spent a lot of time in Zhang's side courtyard, besides his practice, he read a lot of books of etiquette and law in his study to solve his confusion. The wealthy and noble families all love to choose virtuous descendants as the head of the family.

But for some unknown reason, civil strife occurs frequently, and they often exterminate their descendants.

Later, when Emperor Xia ruled the world, he changed the rules and abolished the system of establishing meritocracy. According to the law of the king, unless the eldest son of the rich and noble family committed an unforgivable sin, he did not need to be registered, and he was born to be the future leader of the family.

At the time, this rule seemed completely unreasonable, and many people wrote to advise, worrying that once the stupid eldest sons of the noble family became the head of the family, chaos in the country would be in sight.

But the strange thing is that over time, this state of chaos has never occurred. Instead, there must have been a civil strife in the past few generations, and the order has become stable.

Since then, there have been very few civil strife, and even the decline is caused by external causes.

Under this circumstance, the system of succession by direct descendants was naturally passed down, and eventually became the iron law of the Yellow Emperor. Not only the rich and powerful family would never dare to violate it, but also those who boasted some status and status~www.wuxiahere.com~ This is to ensure that the family's wealth and strength will not be scattered.

Since then, after Zhang Huansheng was pretended to be the eldest son of Xiong Jing's Zhang family, 90% of the time he would become the future head of the Zhang family.

But Zhang Maosong's expression and words became strange because of those words, which made Zhang Huansheng have some conjectures about the conflicts he had experienced in the past few days.

After pondering for a moment, he decided that he must be cautious in his words and deeds before learning the real inside story. Therefore, he did not respond much to the enthusiasm shown by Zhang Nanlin and Zhang Qihe. After hearing Zhang Maosong's words, he just stood up respectfully. He came, saluted, and greeted him, "Second and fifth ancestors are well." Then he stopped talking.

Seeing Zhang Huansheng's taciturn appearance, Zhang Mao's frowning brows finally relaxed a little, and he introduced the other Zhang family members to Zhang Huansheng one by one.

While he was talking, people walked into the warm pavilion one after another. The round table of red sandalwood was slowly filled, and finally there were only five vacancies left.

When Zhang Nanlin saw it, he suddenly smiled and said, "Why hasn't the nephew's family come yet? It's not because he thinks that the children left in the market have already realized the two forces of destiny.

But for more than ten years, he has been revolving around some petty profits, and his martial arts, magic, and supernatural powers are all ignorant and shameless. "

As soon as he finished speaking, a clear female voice came from outside the door, "Second Uncle, your family, including servants and maids, is only about a hundred people. You know that there are hundreds or thousands of servants and generals who maintain a single retainer. Servants, cooks, gardeners, hard laborers... There are thousands of young maids and servants together, how difficult it is for the rich and powerful.

Without the petty profits in your mouth to maintain, everything is like building a foundation on sand, and no matter how big the foundation is, it will inevitably collapse at once. "
