Chapter 046

Zhang Xuan sent Pei Hui out of the house, and it is not necessary for him to be a gentleman.But Zhang Xuan didn't really want to be Mr. Pei Hui, it was nothing more than a "fame hall" to maintain exchanges between the two sides, so don't take it too seriously.

Watching Pei Hui leave in the car, Zhang Xuan stood at the door of the mansion with an emotional smile on his lips.

Growing up in a wealthy family, it is rare that Pei Hui can still maintain a pure heart, which is not easy and unique.

"Third brother, in fact, elder brother thinks that you should go there. Yang Guozhong is so powerful, the emperor favors him, and no one in the whole dynasty can compare with Li Linfu..." Zhang Huan's calm and powerful voice came from behind.

Zhang Xuan turned his head and smiled calmly, "Brother, Yang Guozhong is just a treacherous villain... Although this man is powerful, his reputation is too bad, and getting too close to him is not good for our Zhang family."

Zhang Huan frowned, thinking that you scolded Li Linfu, got so close to Mrs. Guo Guo, and accepted Mrs. Guo's son Pei Hui as a student. In the eyes of outsiders, you have already turned to the Yang family.No matter whether you admit it or not, people will regard you as one of the Yang family, so why bother to pretend?
As if seeing Zhang Huan's "question", Zhang Xuan sighed softly and said, "To save my elder brother, I eagerly joined Mrs. Guo Guo's door, but it was a helpless move... Fortunately, Mrs. Guo Guo It’s also from the Yang family, but it’s different from Yang Guozhong after all, my relationship with Mrs. Guo Guo’s mother and son doesn’t mean that the Zhang family and the Yang family have become one.”

"For the Yang family, we can take advantage of the situation, but we must not sell ourselves to join us." Zhang Xuan's words came to an abrupt end here, and he could only point to the end of some words, and he could not speak too thoroughly.Of course, he couldn't speak too clearly.

Zhang Huan nodded, smiled loudly, and patted Zhang Xuan on the shoulder, "Third brother, I'm going out. The old lady ordered me to go to Cui's house, and talk to Master Cui Ju about the marriage between the third brother and Cui Ying. At this moment, with the emperor's orders, the Cui family's attitude must be no different than before..."

Zhang Xuan was taken aback, and said with shame, "Brother...uh, let's not be in a hurry for now."

"How can we not be in a hurry? The third brother is not young, and it's time to start a family. Miss Cui's family is a good match for the third brother, regardless of appearance, character, talent, and education. It should have been married long ago."

Zhang Huan laughed loudly, waved his hands and asked the servants to prepare the car, and got in the car to go to Cui's house.

Zhang Xuan knew in his heart that Zhang Huan's visit to Cui's house must have been arranged by his mother Liu.In Liu's eyes, Cui Ying is the most suitable daughter-in-law, and Cui Ying's attitude of strongly opposing the divorce two days ago has deeply won Liu's favor.Therefore, after the Zhang family passed the crisis safely, and received the emperor's oral order, the Liu family began to think about their son's marriage.

The reason why Zhang Huan was asked to take the initiative to visit the Cui family on behalf of the Zhang family was nothing more than to give the Cui family a face and give Cui Ju a step down.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan secretly shook his head and smiled wryly, but he did not reject this matter.He knew that in this era, his marriage not only involved the individual but also related to the interests of the clan, so he was not allowed to engage in free love.

Fortunately, he was deeply impressed by Cui Ying. Although he didn't have much contact with this talented woman from a different family, he had a lot of feelings and should be regarded as a good match.

Returning to the mansion, Zhang Xuan went to Liu's house to say hello, and then went back to his small courtyard.

Ruyan Ruyu, two well-behaved little girls, Pianzi, have already brewed tea, prepared pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and waited for Zhang Xuan to come back for entertainment.There are no rich entertainment activities in this year. When bored, apart from contemplating and planning his future life path, Zhang Xuan just sits quietly, sips tea and reads a book, and scribbles a few strokes on paper to strengthen his basic homework.

******************************************
Sure enough, as Zhang Xuan expected, Pei Hui went back and reported that Zhang Xuan was unwell and would not come to the banquet, but Yang Guozhong didn't really take it to heart.One is because of his high position and authority, although Zhang Xuan is talented, he is just an ordinary scholar, and he doesn't take it seriously; second, in Yang Guozhong's view, since Zhang Xuan has contacts with Mrs. Guo Guo's mother and son, it is equivalent to On the Yang family's boat.

In the next step, if Zhang Xuan wants to become an official, he must follow his path.

After the banquet, Yang Guozhong and everyone in the Yang family did not take a rest, but quietly drove Jiancong to Li Linfu's residence, under the name of visiting the sick.

Hearing Yang Guozhong's visit, Li Linfu, who was on the verge of death, suddenly regained his spirits, as if returning to the light.Li Linfu ordered Li Xiu to let Yang Guozhong come in and have a secret meeting in his bedroom.

Yang Guozhong floated in, and a strong smell of medicine rushed into his nostrils instantly. He couldn't help but secretly frowned, wondering if Lao Li's condition is really as serious as the emperor said?It shouldn't be, when I left Beijing more than a month ago, although Li Linfu was a little sick, he was still full of energy.

Yang Guozhong was a little suspicious.

After walking in, his eyes fell on Li Linfu's pale face with a hint of blush, and those slightly dull eyes, and his doubts became heavier.

"Yang Shilang, please sit down. The old man is sick and unable to meet Mr. Shilang..." Li Linfu's voice trembled with effort.

Yang Guozhong hurriedly bowed, "Master Xiang, Guozhong dare not be. Guozhong was recalled by the emperor, and when he heard that Xiangye was ill, he came to visit him first..."

Li Linfu's cloudy eyes projected a gleam of light, and he said softly with difficulty, "Yang Shilang, this old man is terminally ill, and his life is not long. Everyone is mortal, and so is this old man. The only thing that this old man can't let go of is the land of Tang Dynasty... the old man dies." Afterwards, Minister Yang can pay homage to the Prime Minister, and in the future, the people of the Li family will still look after him!"

Li Linfu said so many words in one breath, his face flushed, and he coughed violently.

"Guozhong dare not, dare not, Mr. Xiang is just a little sick, a little recuperation will be fine..." Yang Guozhong saw that Li Linfu suddenly "took care of himself", he couldn't help being frightened, thinking that Li Linfu's cunning and cunning were setting up a trick to test himself .

Perhaps Yang Guozhong can't be blamed for being suspicious. For so many years, under Li Linfu's prestige, Yang Guozhong couldn't believe that Li Linfu, the prime minister who was waving a butcher knife at him a few months ago, was actually dying?
"This old fox might be playing tricks again." Yang Guozhong sneered in his heart, "How could a certain family be fooled by you? You old fox really treats a certain family as a three-year-old child..."

……

……

Yang Guozhong went to Li Linfu's house first, and then the news spread to the palace, and he went to heaven to listen in the shortest time.

When Li Longji heard the news, he patted the table angrily, then turned his head to look at Gao Lishi with a complex expression, and said in a deep voice, "Lishi, this Yang Guozhong really disappointed me. I recalled it halfway and hinted that he You still don't understand what I'm thinking!"

"Yang Shilang Shoucheng's lack of development... still requires the emperor to beat and remind him from time to time, otherwise it will be difficult to become a master." Gao Lishi bowed and said in a low voice.

The relationship between the monarch and his ministers is close, and in private occasions, Gao Lishi speaks very directly, and Li Longji can often listen to it.

Compared with Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong is not even a star.Li Longji sighed in disappointment.Yang Guozhong is very uneducated and shallow-minded, so he is not the best candidate, but at this moment he has no better choice.

Obviously, the emperor called him back to Beijing halfway, which means that Li Linfu is about to collapse and the emperor is going to help him up—at this time, he should immediately start preparing for the handover of power, so as not to panic and cause trouble at that time, instead of going to Li Linfu to test something .Still need to test?

"Tomorrow will be Yuzhen's female recognition banquet... I am restless, so I won't come in person, let the lady go for me. Lishi, you can accompany me to play in Furong Garden for a day tomorrow... At that time, Yang Guozhong This guy is also called, and I want to discipline this idiot.
