Chapter 341 Two old men playing chess

Up to now, Shen Yi has seen other important people, besides the emperor, his uncle Zhao Changping, and other than that, he has never seen any other high-ranking officials.

And the retired Xiangguo Zhang Jing is undoubtedly a very powerful person. This old Xiangguo who has been the second chancellor under Yang Jingzong for more than ten years, as far as the current situation is concerned, the political resources at hand are not even worse than the current little emperor. How many.

It is the dream of every newcomer to see this kind of old man.

Sometimes there is no need for any substantive support, just a few words of advice from the elderly is enough to benefit a lot.

The front entrance of the Zhang family mansion is very low-key, but it is much wider after entering the door. However, in terms of luxury, this Zhang family mansion can only be regarded as ordinary. Although it is much better than Zhao Changping and Zhao Shilang's house, it is worse than Jin Wang's mansion. I don't know how much.

In terms of Zhang Jing's resume and rank, his prime minister's office can be called simple.

But on this day, the humble prime minister's mansion was full of people.

Not to mention that the entire front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion was crowded with people, at least a few people could be seen chatting together after walking seven or eight steps. Some people rushed there without taking off their official uniforms. There are two or three official uniforms of the fourth and fifth ranks.

You know, Master Shen is still only an eighth-rank official.

For him, the officials of the fourth and fifth ranks can also be called big bosses.

It was almost noon now, and after Shen Yi wandered around the front yard for a while, Zhang Jian had finished welcoming the guests, so he pulled Shen Yi into Zhang's backyard with a smile.

Compared with the front yard, the Zhang Family's backyard has fewer people. Although there are dozens of people at a glance, it is relatively quieter than the front yard.

Among these people, some were little old men, and some looked young. They should all know each other, and exchanged a few words from time to time.

Zhang Jian arranged Shen Yi to sit down at a table, and then said with a smile: "Ziheng, you sit here. After eating, I will take you to see your grandfather."

Shen Yi smiled and nodded, then looked around.

There were a total of eight people on this table. Except for him, most of the other seven were young people, but these young people were all fair-skinned and dressed in brocade clothes. At first glance, they were from the first-class big families in Jiankang City.

These seven people should all know each other. After seeing Shen Yi seated, they all looked at Shen Yi with curious eyes. One of the young people in purple who was sitting next to Shen Yi looked Shen Yi up and down, and said with a smile: "This brother looks like you Mian Sheng, I don't know which family it is from?"

Shen Yi has even met the emperor, so he will not be stage fright in front of these second generations. He nodded with a smile, and said: "It's not from a big family, and most of you don't know if you say it, but you have some personal relationships with Brother Zhang, so you were invited come."

The young man in purple was originally very polite to Shen Yi, but after hearing Shen Yi's words, he frowned and murmured: "A foreign accent..."

After muttering this sentence, he turned his head away and didn't even look at Shen Yi.

Obviously, these local yamen in Jiankang look down on outsiders, even Jiangdu, which is very close to Jiankang.

Shen Yi didn't expect to have any friendship with these people. Seeing that these people ignored him, he was very happy and sat quietly waiting for the food to be served.

While Shen Yi was waiting for the food to be served, the voice of a member of the Zhang family came: "The prince of Jin came to celebrate the old man's birthday..."

Hearing this voice, everyone looked around in unison, Li Mu, the eldest son of Prince Jin's mansion in an apricot-yellow robe, walked into the main hall of Zhang Mansion with a smile and a servant holding a gift list, and met in the main hall Old Prime Minister Zhang Jing.

Even Zhang Jing, after seeing Li Mu, stood up to greet Li Mu. Li Mu didn't dare, and after helping the old man to sit down, he asked his servants to hand over the gift list, smiled and said a few auspicious words, and left Zhang Jing. Home hall.

After the Prince Jin's birthday celebration, he was invited to the backyard of the Zhang Mansion by the servants of the Zhang family. The servants respectfully led him to the top table. Li Mu was about to sit down when he suddenly caught sight of Shen Yi on many tables. His eyes lit up, he ignored the servants of the Zhang family behind him, and walked towards Shen Yi with a smile.

Because he was afraid of embarrassing Shen Yi, the table Zhang Jian arranged for him was mostly young people from big families, and there were no high-ranking officials in the court. Although these young people could be called Ya Nei, But compared to Li Mu, it's going to be a long way off.

At this moment, Shen Yi's table was already full. Li Mu glanced at the young man in purple next to Shen Yi, and frowned: "Changning Bo's?"

The young man in purple quickly stood up and bowed his head respectfully: "Yes, son, I'm Han Zhong, my father Changning Bo Han Min..."

Li Mu pointed to the table in front, and said lightly: "Let's change seats, you can sit at that table."

The young man named Han Zhong looked at the table at the top, then swallowed, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, sit down, and find a seat for yourself..."

After all, he left in despair.

Li Mu didn't care, he sat down carelessly, reached out and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Ziheng is healed?"

"It's been good."

Shen Yi replied with a smile: "It's still thanks to your son's blessing, then Miracle Physician Sun is indeed rejuvenated, and he will be cured in about ten days."

Li Mu smiled slightly, and was about to speak when he heard the servants of the Zhang family shout again.

"Young Master Yang of the Yang Manor, come to celebrate the old man's birthday..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Fan, who was already a little fatter, led his servants into the main hall of the Zhang family with the gift list, and kowtowed to Zhang Jing on his birthday, calling him uncle.

Zhang Xiang was also very polite, helped him up himself, and said a few polite words to him.

After Mr. Yang paid his respects to his birthday, he was also led to the banquet. This Mr. Yang glanced at him and saw Shen Yi as well, but he also saw Li Mu who was talking to Shen Yi at the same time, so this Mr. Yang , walked behind Shen Yi, reached out and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, then turned and left.

Shen Yi didn't even look back.

Li Mu at the side looked back at Yang Fan, then smiled at Shen Yi and said, "The Yang family is at this time, and they are still pretending to be scary, Ziheng don't need to be afraid of him."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "After the Zhao family beat me up last time, I got a lot of benefits for nothing. If Mr. Yang troubles me again, maybe I will rise to the top and go straight to Zhongshu."

Li Mu laughed, picked up the teacup on the table, touched Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "This is a free and easy way to say, let's replace wine with tea, let's touch one."

The two of them clinked teacups, and soon the banquet began.

After taking a few mouthfuls of food, Li Mu patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Ziheng, it's not convenient for me to stay for a long time, it's fun to eat a little bit, you eat slowly, I'll go first."

Shen Yi stood up and said, "I will see you off."

"Don't have to."

Li Mu smiled and shook his head: "It's all in the circle of civil servants. Ziheng is a good person. He will be ranked in the middle school in the future. Maybe he can take care of me."

After all, His Royal Highness stood up, bid farewell to Prime Minister Zhang and left.

Shen Yi was still sitting in his seat, eating quietly, but at this moment, the eyes of the yamen at the same table had completely changed.

After finally eating his fill, Shen Yi stood up and stretched. He had just left the table when he heard Zhang Jian's hearty laughter.

"Zou Ziheng, I'll take you to see the old man."

Shen Yi was dragged by him all the way to Zhang's back house, and came under a pavilion. At the moment, there were two old people sitting under the pavilion, playing chess under the pavilion.

Zhang Jian stepped forward and said something to one of the old people. The old man looked back at Shen Yi, and Shen Yi quickly bowed his head in greeting.

The old man waved to Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Little doll of Jiangdu, come here."

Shen Yi walked up and bowed to salute: "Shen Yi, Jiangdu, I have met the old Xiangguo."

The old man smiled kindly, looked up and down at Shen Yi, smiled and said: "There is no need to be polite, the old man has wanted to see you for a long time, just wait a moment, and wait until this game of chess is over."

As he spoke, he looked at the old man opposite him and urged.

"Old man Liu, settle down quickly."

"The old man is in a hurry to talk to the little baby."

This old man Liu's beard was a little disheveled. Hearing this, he turned his head to look at Shen Yi, and snorted.

"Zhao Zhi's junior."
