Chapter 003

"Mother."

While Liu Shi was in a panic, a soft and deep voice came from beside her ear.She glanced down and saw her only biological son Zhang Xuan standing in front of her, bowing to salute her.

"Xuan'er." Liu's eyes softened immediately, but at the same time she was a little surprised: "How did this child become polite today, and he didn't have so much courtesy when he saw himself in the past."

Compared with Zhang Huan and Zhang Ning, Zhang Xuan can only be regarded as an unworthy and unfilial son and a libertine.The good character of Zhang Jiuling's generation of famous ministers and good ministers did not inherit the slightest bit, but he did not know where he learned all the bad habits.

But no matter how unworthy he is, he is his own flesh and blood, and he will rely on him for the rest of his life. Others don't want to see Zhang Xuan—how can Liu's not want to see him?

"Xuan'er. Something happened to your elder brother. It's fine. Don't worry, go back to your room to rest. Mother will come and see you later." With her eyes full of doting, Liu's eyes were full of doting, and she whispered softly and reached out to grab Zhang. Xuan's hand came and stroked gently.

"Xuan'er, your body will be weak when you are young, listen to your mother, go back and take a nap to nourish your body, after a while, mother will ask the kitchen to make bird's nest and lotus seed soup for you."

After all, Zhang Xuan's youthful body contains a mature time-traveling soul, and his mental age is not much different from that of Liu's. In this way, even if a woman strokes her hand like putting a child to sleep, one can imagine the embarrassment in his heart.

But Liu's love and motherhood from the heart are not mixed with any false things.In Zhang Xuan's heart, there was both a trace of emotion and an inexplicable long-lost emotion.

"Mother." Zhang Xuan shouted again, taking the opportunity to gently break free from Liu Shi's grasp, a blush of embarrassment appeared on his pretty face.

Mrs. Liu looked at him lovingly, and then said in a deep voice to the two servant girls behind Zhang Xuan, "Ru Yan Ru Yu, why don't you wait for the third son to go back to his room to rest?"

Even though Mrs. Liu loves her son very much, she also knows that at the critical point of the family crisis, keeping Zhang Xuan in the front yard will only add to the chaos, and it will also add to everyone's hearts.It would be better to send him back to his room, so as not to cause any further trouble.

You know, Zhang Jiuling's two younger brothers, Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao, will come to discuss matters soon, and the two elders of the Zhang family can't understand Zhang Xuan, a prodigal nephew who has shamed the entire Zhang family.

"Yes, old lady." Ruyan and Ruyu hurriedly responded respectfully, Ruyan stepped forward and pulled Zhang Xuan's skirt timidly, and said in a low voice, "Third young master, this servant will accompany the third young master back to the room... "

Zhang Xuan shook his head, and said softly and resolutely, "No, mother, I won't go back. My brother has committed a serious crime this time, and the disaster is imminent, which will inevitably affect the whole family. My son can't stay in the backyard."

"Mother, elder brother... why did you do this? How did you commit such a serious crime so well that you offended the Holy One?" Zhang Xuan asked tentatively.

"Mother doesn't know, it happened suddenly, and the disaster fell, it's really a crime..."

Mrs. Liu looked at Zhang Xuan helplessly, frowned and sighed, "Xuan'er, you have nothing to do with this matter...it's okay to have your mother and your two uncles and second elder brothers making the decisions. You just go back to your room." ——Baby, be obedient."

Zhang Xuan couldn't help feeling bitter in his heart.

He knew in his heart that although the dandy he possessed was arrogant and happy, he actually had no status in the Zhang family, let alone the right to speak.Even if it is the mother in front of him who dotes on him and indulges him, but he also knows that his son can't do serious things.

With this in mind, Zhang Xuan no longer insisted.Even if he persisted, he might not be able to enter the Zhang family's meeting hall and discuss with the elders of the Zhang family how to deal with the crisis.

But Zhang Xuan couldn't ignore it.

Because of the sudden onset of this crisis, the distance between him, the traverser, and the entire Zhang family was shortened at once. It would have taken months or even years to get used to it, and the sense of belonging to the family that he gradually developed was accelerated like this. up.

Helpless, all prosperity and one loss, all will be ruined, and he will be finished if the Zhang family falls.It is related to the future and destiny of the future, and there is no room for him to slack off.

"Mother, let the son go out for a walk." Zhang Xuan forced a smile and stopped insisting.

He bowed to Mrs. Liu again, then turned around and walked out, at the same time he waved to a young servant standing not far away, "Zhang Li, prepare the car, I'm going out to visit friends."

Just now Liu Shi felt that Zhang Xuan had changed, but now it seems that this is just an illusion.It's such a time, and I still don't know how to go out——

Mrs. Liu frowned, looking at the back of Zhang Xuan walking away, opened her mouth and hesitated for a moment, then lowered her hands helplessly and looked elsewhere, but her heart was so bitter that it was hard to express, "My dear boy , when will you grow up and be promising, and stop letting your mother be so worried?"

Some servants and maids of the Zhang family didn't dare to say anything, they lowered their heads and kept silent, feeling really upset in their hearts.The Zhang family's catastrophe is imminent, and it's justified for this wanderer to go out to "visit friends" to hang out and mess around.

Zhang Li drove, and Zhang Xuan left the mansion in the carriage.Although the official's carriage was already quite a luxurious and advanced means of transportation in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, he still felt a little uncomfortable sitting on it.

Pedestrians come and go, all kinds of shops, restaurants and inns on both sides of the market are connected one after another, and the various signboards are hanging high, which makes people dazzled.The prosperity, the vastness of the area, and the dense population of Chang'an in the prosperous Tang Dynasty were beyond Zhang Xuan's imagination.

Residents of Chang'an with red faces, scholars with hairpins and fragrant flowers waving folding fans, or peddlers pushing carts or carrying baskets on their shoulders selling along the street, foreign businessmen in Hu suits, with extremely revealing clothes and plump faces Women with a hint of spring, and occasionally a few monks with solemn treasures... Unfamiliar faces flashed in front of Zhang Xuan clearly, but he was really not in the mood to marvel or linger at this moment.

In the historical information he has, there is almost nothing about Zhang Jiuling's family descendants. Historians have not recorded in detail the reproduction and changes of Zhang Jiuling's descendants.Probably because the Zhang family gradually declined after Zhang Jiuling's death.

In the face of a crisis, he felt that he had to figure out the ins and outs of Zhang Huan's crime before making a plan.

So he "thought" of those friends of the dandy, among them was Xu Wenbin, the second son of Xu Qiao, the current minister of Dali Temple.This Xu Wenbin is probably the same as the previous Zhang Xuan, and the two have similar tastes and can be regarded as "confidantes" who often come and go.

Dali Temple is in charge of the prison affairs, and Zhang Huan is now in Dali Temple. As the son of the highest official of Dali Temple, Xu Wenbin will definitely know some inside information.Let's see if we can catch up with Xu Qiao through Xu Wenbin's line. Even if it costs some money, we must help Zhang Huan get rid of the crime.Worst of all, don't harm the whole family, right?

But... the dandies who make friends with dandies are all dandies, will they be reliable?Zhang Xuan sighed secretly.
