Mirror of the Sky

Hearing this, Zhang Huansheng still used his jade chopsticks to fork a piece of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it in one gulp, and said with a smile, "I have to practice martial arts and the Fa every day, and I also like to read some books. Miscellaneous books, really busy.

If you can eat faster, then it will be better. "

Afterwards, he rubbed his stomach, stood up contentedly, and instructed: "This beef dumpling is cooked very well. It is not only hungry, but also easy to overcome and will not accumulate food. Let's eat it at night.", strode out After entering the dining hall, he entered the quiet room for practicing the Dharma.

Looking at Zhang Huansheng's passing back, among the four close-fitting maids, Xia Ye, who has the most elegant features and the most graceful figure, couldn't help showing contempt, and said in a low voice, "Being in the market means being born in the market, and Leaping over the Dragon Gate, there is also the shape of a real dragon.

Others have tempered their bodies to get their true flavors, but when they consume a lot of them, they all use pills to supplement them. The gentlemen we serve, but they have to eat half-eaten meat to nourish themselves, and they gobble it so much. "

"Xia Ye, the rules in the mansion are so big, how dare you say that as a gentleman," Qiuhen, who was standing behind Xia Ye, heard her remarks and commented on the master. Let someone sue them and eat the board in vain."

"We are the delicate maids sent by the young lady," Xia Ye raised his eyebrows without fear and said, "The identity is in the young lady's hands, who would dare to play the board easily.

Besides, now Young Master Fenghua has lost his position as the eldest grandson of the Zhang family, but with Young Madam, the Du family is here, and in the future..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Dong Yun, who was usually the most taciturn among the four maids, said softly, "Xia Ye, the four of you and I grew up together, and we are like sisters. There was something to say.

I know that your spirit has always been very high, and you are not in the eyes of ordinary men, but you only favor Young Master Fenghua, so you have a grudge against the surviving gentleman in your heart.

But we are only maids, what about the young lady and the Du family?

What's more, that gentleman who is still alive is also an extraordinary man. You only see him from the market, and his behavior is rude, but you haven't thought about it carefully. Under these circumstances, he is not greedy for enjoyment, and enjoys practicing martial arts, practicing, and reading every day.

What a respectable and awe-inspiring thing it is to even think it takes time to eat!

Not to mention, it is rumored that he has awakened two kinds of powers of destiny.

This kind of person with outstanding talent, as well as amazing perseverance and self-motivation is not the grandson of Xiong Jing Zhang, and in the future, he may become the kind of great practice in which the great power is attributed to oneself, the turning of the hand into a cloud, and the turning of the hand into a rain. By.

You contempt for him not only ridiculous, but also terrifying. If you say something depressing, if it really happens in the future, maybe it will be the scourge of the dead! "

Hearing these words, Xia Ye was stunned for a moment, and his face was flushed. At this moment, a servant from the outside hurried into the side courtyard, saying that the Son of Heaven had arrived, and summoned Xiong Jing Zhang's eldest grandson, Zhang Also live in the palace to see the driver.

When everyone heard this, they panicked and hurriedly invited Zhang Huansheng out of the quiet room, changed into a costume that matched his identity, and sent him to the carriage sent by the palace.

Sitting upright in the narrow carriage, Zhang Huansheng, although he grew up on a barren island since he was a child, was wise early, and did not respect etiquette, but after thinking about it for a while, he would see with his own eyes the titular Lord of the Societies in the Yellow Land. The ruler of the Chu Dynasty could not help but feel like he was in a dream.

After a while, he slowly stabilized his mind.

Afterwards, looking at the wrinkled and blackened silk paper wrapped around the four walls of the carriage, and the old brocade pad under his buttocks, he couldn't help but secretly slandered in his heart, "It's better to meet people than to be famous, who would have thought that the royal family of Great Chu would welcome people? The car is so unbearable.

With such a weak national power, it's no wonder that the princes in the world do not take the Son of Heaven in their eyes, and foreign barbarians are constantly invading the borderlands..." The detachment of the heart was evident.

Just as Zhang Huansheng was thinking about it, the carriage had passed through the two city gates of Xiongjing and stopped slowly on the jade slab in front of the Epang Palace.

The driver opened the bamboo curtain of the carriage and said, "Gentleman Zhang, the inner city has arrived, please step out of the car."

"Thank you for the messenger..." Zhang Huansheng heard the words, Shi Shiran, who was thanking him, jumped out of the carriage, but was choked by the majestic palace in front of him, and he was so stunned that he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, the hundreds of soldiers guarding in front of the Epang Palace all laughed secretly in their hearts. At this moment, someone from the temple greeted them and said in a loud voice, "Gentleman Zhang family, don't be in a daze, we have to practice the etiquette of seeing a driver. Bar."

"Yes, yes." Zhang Huansheng came back to his senses, and no longer dared to underestimate the majesty of the emperor, he responded, followed behind the temple people, and walked into the Epang Palace looking left and right.

An hour later, after having practiced the etiquette of the audience in a side hall, he met Dangdang in the imperial study with his own eyes.

Emperor Zhigeng had long since lost his original whim, sitting on the gilded sandalwood chair, looking at Zhang Huansheng, who was crawling on the ground in front of him.

However, he claimed to be the Son of Heaven, and felt that he couldn't judge people by appearances, so he deliberately said in a gentle voice, "Little gentleman of the Zhang family, you are a loyal and good person from generation to generation, so you don't need to be so polite, get up."

Zhang Huansheng was naturally arrogant and unwilling to kneel, even when facing the Emperor Yanhuang. He immediately stood up unceremoniously when he heard the words, and then spit out three Once he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty.", he stopped talking.

When Emperor Zhigeng saw this situation, he became more and more unhappy. After asking a few questions, he waved his hand in desperation to make Zhang Huansheng retire.

The man behind the emperor was still the old temple man who accompanied him during the meal.

Watching Zhang Huansheng back out of the imperial study, he was thinking about what he wanted to say, when the Emperor Zhigeng said to himself: "The ancients said, Zhilan is born in the wilderness and gradually loses its elegance, I really don't deceive me. .

That kid from the Zhang family grew up hanging out in the market, and he really lost all his precious bones. He was so tacky that he couldn't even speak the whole sentence in front of me, and he didn't look like a son of an aristocratic family. "

The old temple man heard the Son of Heaven's complaint and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what I said is that the servant also thinks that the gentleman of the Zhang family is too strong.

But today is different from ancient times. In ancient times, the ministers of the emperor, regardless of whether they were internal or external, were the masters of the herdsmen. It was always necessary to have the image of a noble person in order to subdue the common people. Now, as long as the ministers are loyal to the emperor, it is good.

Being too free and easy in front of your Majesty, without any sense of reverence, is better than being dull and well-behaved. "

Hearing this, Emperor Zhigeng's eyes lit up, and he nodded thoughtfully and said, "A-Da's words are reasonable, sir, it's really good to be loyal and honest.

Thinking about it this way, that gentleman from the Zhang family was in awe of me, so he was taciturn. That being the case, I would not treat him badly, so I gave him the post of a sixth-rank cloud cavalry officer, and rewarded him for exemption. After the spring exam, go directly to Guozijian to study and practice. "
