Chapter 44 Zhang Yan's Gift

After hearing what his elder brother said, Zhang Heng couldn't help feeling a little curious, so he followed his elder brother to his study.

"Erlang, there is no one left in Dongqumen who can influence you. Now there is no one who has the final say. You go and have the final say."

"But what happened before was not that simple. I think my father has also told you about Sichen, the hen who caused a lot of trouble a few days ago."

"Actually, the involvement of the Dongqu Gate is purely an innocent disaster. At the beginning, the Secretary of the Imperial City was ordered to arrest the person who deceived the crowd with evil words. As a result, the mastermind has never been caught."

"The officials were very angry when they found out and directly ordered a thorough investigation. It was found that the person left through Dongqumen, but in fact the Dongqumen guard at the time did not dare to stop him at all." Zhang Yandao
"What? The guard of Dongqumen, if I remember correctly, should be the one from Dongpinghou's family, right? He didn't dare to stop him, so who came forward?" Zhang Heng said
"Hehe, who else could it be? Do you know why Xiao Qinyan was recalled to Beijing?" Zhang Yan said
"Huh? Brother, you mean Ke Xiang?" Zhang Heng asked in surprise.

"That's right, besides him, who else can make Marquis Dongping so afraid? It is said that the man at that time took out a handwritten letter from Ke Xiang, so he had to let it go."

"As a result, you also know that Ke Xiang was demoted from Beijing, and the Marquis of Dongping almost lost his title this time. If it weren't for the presence of a few veterans from the founding line, the Marquis might be the one?" Zhang Yan said.
"Haha, I really didn't expect it. I have only been away from Beijing for a few years, but the capital is now so lively. This is really interesting."

"But they are fighting with them, so let's go to the theater. Anyway, they don't dare to provoke our family. Forget it, let's not mention these. By the way, big brother, what about the gift you are talking about?" Zhang Heng said
"Okay, if you don't want to listen to me, I won't talk about it. Anyway, it's almost the same. As for the gift I gave you? It's not in the mansion, so you can come with me." Zhang Yan said with a smile

"Yo, big brother, I'm getting more and more curious when you say that. I want to see what kind of gift it is, and it's worth being so secretive." Zhang Heng said with a smile

"Hey, second brother, don't worry, I promise you won't be disappointed with this gift." After Zhang Yan finished speaking, he got up directly, then left the study room, and left the Hou Mansion quickly.

Zhang Heng naturally followed closely behind. The two brothers did not choose a carriage, but rode directly to the east of the city. Although Zhang Heng was curious, he did not ask.

Looking at the mansion in front of him, Zhang Heng said, "Brother, is the gift you are talking about this yard?"

"Hahaha, Erlang, don't guess, just follow me in and you will know." Zhang Yan said with a smile

Zhang Heng stopped talking after hearing this. After the two brothers entered the courtyard, they did not go to other places, but entered the study again. When Zhang Heng came in and took a look, he was a little disappointed.

And Zhang Yan seemed to have noticed it, and said directly, "Erlang, don't worry, my gift this time is very special, let me tell you first."

After hearing this, Zhang Heng could only sit down patiently and listen to what his elder brother told him.

"Erlang, the gift I prepared for you this time is a kabuki. Don't underestimate my gift. I am a kabuki who has just received a gift from the government, a kabuki who walks the streets with a royal horse." Zhang Yan said
"Huh? Brother, why don't you say it? What's the name of the kabuki, and where is it now?" Zhang Heng said with a smile

"Hey, Erlang, don't worry, this person is in the mansion, let me tell you briefly, this kabuki is the top card of Shuangxi Tower, and his name is Zhang Haohao." Zhang Yan said
"Huh? Zhang Haohao? Brother, don't tell me, this name is really interesting." Zhang Heng's face was calm, but he was a little excited in his heart.

After all, he also had a good idea about this piece. He thought that he would figure out a solution after returning to Beijing, but he didn't expect his elder brother to help him solve it in advance.

At this time, Zhang Yan didn't know what his second brother was thinking. Did he still have his own little plans at this time?
"Erlang, this beautiful singing voice is one of a kind, otherwise she wouldn't be rewarded by the officials, but she also has some shortcomings."

"After all, this is a gift from me. I have to make an agreement with you in advance, so that our brothers will not be unhappy because of a kabuki. Then I will be making fun of myself?"

"Erlang, this one is already in her twenties this year, she is a little older, and also, she has always been a member of Chi Pan before, so naturally she is not perfect."

"The reason why I chose this one for you is because I think she is very suitable, but it doesn't matter if you don't like Erlang."

"I asked someone to buy a skinny horse in Jiangnan before. If you don't like that one, I'll give you the skinny horse. What do you think?" Zhang Yan said.
"Brother, after going to Jiangnan, I know how rare this skinny horse is. It's not easy for me to find this skinny horse. How can I have the nerve to snatch it from you?"

"That one sounds good to me. How can I not accept my elder brother's kindness? I just accept it. Thank you, elder brother." Zhang Heng said with a smile

"Ah? No, Erlang, why don't you take a look first. You haven't seen that one before. What if you do? Erlang, I advise you to meet before you make a decision." Zhang Yan said
"Hey, that's a good one, but it was carefully selected by you, brother. I think it took a lot of effort to get it from Chi Pan. Brother's thoughts are much more important than a woman."

"So you don't need to look at the picture if it's good. I believe that your vision, brother, is absolutely the same. Well, brother, it's settled like this."

"We are brothers, so we don't have to make trouble because of a skinny horse. I'll accept this one if it's good. I'm here, brother. Thank you, brother." Zhang Heng bowed directly.
I, Zhang Yan was extremely depressed at this time, and felt regretful and wanted to slap himself a few times. He really wanted to tell the truth now.

You said it was enough to just give a gift, but you had to make a show of brotherly love, but it turned out to be good, and people took it seriously.

What do you say now?People don't even look at anyone now, so what else can I say?Could it be that the thin horse is for you, and Zhang Haohao is the one I want to keep?

Now Zhang Yan knew what it meant to be a dumb man eating Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't tell if he was suffering, no matter how regretful he was at this time, it was useless.

Now that the show has come to this point, it is natural to continue.

"Erlang, you, I don't even know what to say about you, you?" Zhang Yan said excitedly.

"Hey, big brother, what do you think you are doing? Although we were a little unhappy before, but we are brothers, can I still hold grudges?" Zhang Heng said indifferently
