Chapter 37
Chapter 041

Princess Yuzhen Li Chiying and Cui Ying left.

Zhang Xuan stood at the gate of Mrs. Guoguo's mansion in a daze for a moment, then waved to the servants of the Zhang family who were waiting not far away, and was about to get in the car and leave.

Mrs. Guo Guo was already drunk and fell asleep, so Zhang Xuan didn't have to say goodbye.

Zhang Xuan was about to get into the car when he suddenly heard an urgent and soft voice calling from behind: "Sir, wait for Pei Hui for a moment!"

Zhang Xuan sighed secretly and stopped.

Pei Hui worshiped him as his teacher in front of the emperor, which was not what Zhang Xuan wanted.But in that case, Zhang Xuan couldn't resist the order, so he had to reluctantly agree.It's just that where does he have the time and energy to be someone else's teacher at the moment?Therefore, Zhang Xuan actually secretly decided not to mention this matter after leaving this trip. After a long time, no one will take it seriously anymore.

But Zhang Xuan ignored the stubbornness and tenacity of the young Pei Hui.

Although Pei Hui is young and has a weak personality and even a bit cowardly, there is a bit of arrogance in his bones.If Zhang Xuan's talent and learning hadn't fascinated him, he would never have made an act of apprenticeship in public.As for Pei Hui, since he has become a teacher, he will "persist" to the end.

Pei Hui went to visit Zhang Xuan in the guest room, but heard that Zhang Xuan was about to leave, so he rushed out to see Zhang Xuan off in person.

It's only natural for students to see off their teachers—it's just that Pei Hui is like this, but it makes Zhang Xuan somewhat helpless.

Pei Hui rushed to the front, bowed his body, and performed the etiquette of meeting a teacher, "Sir, why are you in a hurry? Why don't you just stay in the mansion for a night, so that Pei Hui will ask for advice sooner or later to show the friendship of a disciple."

Pei Hui's expression is respectful, his etiquette is in place, and his temperament is feminine, which makes people feel a little bit of pity besides praise.

Zhang Xuan hurriedly returned a salute, and said with a wry smile, "Young Master Pei, Zhang Xuande is not talented enough to be a good example to others. Today's apprenticeship is just a whim, and neither you nor I should take it seriously. Going to Zhang’s house, you and I get together, drink and have fun, or study poetry, it’s all right. Zhang Xuan has something important to do at home, so he must return, so we say goodbye to the young master.”

A trace of red flashed across Pei Hui's immature face. He shook his head and bowed down stubbornly, "Mr. His Royal Highness and my mother are used as ceremonial evidence, and Pei Hui absolutely dare not be rude."

"Although Pei Hui comes from the Yang family, he is by no means a superficial person... I also hope that, for the sake of the emperor and my mother, don't despise Pei Hui! Pei Hui is very grateful."

For the sake of Pei Hui's words, Zhang Xuan was speechless for a moment.

"Please don't give up, sir!" Pei Hui's thin and delicate face was blushing, and his shoulders trembled a little because of the excitement.

"Hey..." Zhang Xuan was helpless, reached out to help Pei Hui, and said in a harmonious voice, "Mr. Pei, why do you do this! Anyway, thanks to Mr. Pei's love, it would seem a bit hypocritical if Zhang Xuan pushes back and forth again... Poetry and prose skills, you and me It’s just a discussion together.”

"Thank you sir." Pei Hui was overjoyed, and was about to bow down again, Zhang Xuan quickly supported him.

At this moment, the rapid sound of horseshoes came from far to near, and dozens of horsemen galloped towards them. A young eunuch in the palace got off his horse and glanced at Zhang Xuan and Pei Hui. The awkward Jianxi shouted emphatically: "The emperor gave Zhang Xuan a gold medal, a horse, a red flower, a jar of fine wine, and a plaque, and ordered Zhang Xuan to wear red, hang colorful gongs, and parade through the streets for half a day..."

……

……

The emperor gave such verbal instructions, most likely because of Concubine Yang Guifei's instigation.Zhang Xuan knew very well that Yang Yuhuan must have been deeply moved by his own piece of "Ode to the Fairy Taizhen". Under her "pillow wind", Li Longji gave Zhang Xuan a justifiable fame and appearance on a whim after drinking Opportunity.

Zhang Xuan had no choice but to parade through the streets according to the order.

Pei Hui sent several servants from Mrs. Guo's house to accompany her all the way.Some were holding fine wine from the emperor, some were carrying jade plates containing gold medals or safflowers from the emperor, and two servants were carrying a plaque with the emperor's autographed name "Gold Medal Talented Scholar Xiaolangjun".

Zhang Xuan was riding the maroon horse that Li Longji had rewarded him with, his body crooked and his posture a bit stiff.He had never ridden a horse before, so he barely got on the horse and felt uncomfortable for a while.

The two Habayashi guards of the palace blared gongs to clear the way, and shouted from time to time: "The imperial seal gold medal talented young man Zhang Xuan is ordered to parade in the street——, idlers, etc., all avoid..."

Or: "Parade through the streets according to the order, everyone avoids it!"

Beating and beating all the way, he crossed Zhuque Street from Dongshi to Xishi.From here, it turned back to the south again, and after a circle, it turned back to the periphery of Dongshi.

This trip down the street took more than an hour.But Zhang Xuan was sitting on the horseback, tired and sleepy, but he couldn't ask to get off the horse to rest, so he had to persevere.The two Habayashi guards who cleared the way ahead were loyal to their duties, and they would not go back to pay the order to the emperor and the imperial concubine unless they went around Chang'an City.

East Market and West Market are the busiest and most prosperous places in Chang'an City. There are many shops on the street, and pedestrians are like a cloud, rubbing shoulders.Zhang Xuan's parade of chariots and horses approached slowly, and the vendors and pedestrians retreated to both sides of the street. Groups of three and four looked enviously at Zhang Xuan who was riding on the tall horse. After Zhang Xuan passed by, they pointed and discussed. one after another.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Xuan's reputation as a prodigal dandy in the past was only spread among the upper class in Chang'an City, and ordinary people in the market did not know about it.But after parading around the streets like this, Zhang Xuan's reputation as a talented scholar has moved the whole Chang'an, and the imperial title of "Gold Medal Talented Talent Xiaolangjun" has become a household name among women and children.

Xu Wenbin, the son of Dali Temple Minister Xu Qiao, was going out in a car with a few servants to have a feast in Hualiu Street and Lane. As soon as he left the mansion, he was blocked by a crowded crowd in the middle of the road.

Xu Wenbin poked his head out of the car window angrily, and scolded, "What's the matter with these troublemakers in front? Come on, hurry up and clear the way, don't delay the time of a certain party."

A domestic servant turned around in embarrassment and whispered, "If you go back to the son, in front of you is Zhang Xuan, Mr. Zhang, who is ordering to parade in the street. It is overcrowded, and it will not pass for a while."

"Who? Who parades the streets?" Xu Wenbin frowned, "Zhang Xuan? Zhang Xuan from Zhang Jiuling's family in the south of the city?"

"Exactly. I heard that Mr. Zhang was granted the title of 'Gold Medal Talented Young Master' by the emperor today. He rewarded him with a gold medal and a horse. He was ordered to parade for half a day... The people in front of him are watching the fun, my lord, otherwise we will take a detour. Row?"

The corner of Xu Wenbin's mouth twitched slightly when he heard the words, and he jumped out of the carriage all at once, leaving aside a group of servants, and separated from the crowded crowd to move forward.

Squeezed through the crowd for tens of meters, not far ahead, Zhang Xuan, a tall maroon horse with a calm and handsome expression, dressed in a green shirt, red flowers on his head, and a gold medal on his waist, was swaggering in front of a group of servants. Surrounded by everyone, they moved forward under the focus of everyone's eager eyes.

The shock in Xu Wenbin's heart was unparalleled.He couldn't understand how such a prodigal who used to wear a pair of trousers with him turned into a peerless talent and was rewarded by the emperor?
This shock immediately turned into a raging jealousy. He raised his head and looked at Zhang Xuan's back with a somewhat sinister gaze.

As if aware of it, Zhang Xuan suddenly turned around from his horse and took a look, and immediately found Xu Wenbin standing in the crowd.

Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, then turned his head and never looked at Xu Wenbin again.The high indifference and dismissive look in those eyes, although they were fleeting, still almost drove Xu Wenbin crazy.

He waved his hands and wanted to curse and kill Zhang Xuan's limelight, but he suddenly remembered that Zhang Xuan is no longer someone he, the second son of the Qing family of Dali Temple, can easily provoke. courage.

The jealousy and resentment in his heart were vented in an instant, Xu Wenbin immediately withered, bowed his head and felt cold all over his body.
