Chapter 069 Yang Yuhuan's hidden worries and Li Longji's exploration

Seeing Zhang Xuan slowly walking into the hall, Zhang Jiuming laughed, waved his hands and said, "Xuan'er, come quickly, sit down and talk."

Zhang Jiugao also smiled and nodded to Zhang Xuan.

Cui Huan got up slowly and waved his hands with a smile, "Third brother, come and sit down."

As the eldest brother, Cui Huan treated Zhang Xuan so courteously at this moment, Zhang Ning had no choice but to stand up, but unlike Cui Huan, the smile on his face was very forced.

Zhang Xuan suddenly changed from a libertine to a peerless talent, and even made his way to the sky, which made the jealous Zhang Ning feel uncomfortable.To be honest, he still couldn't accept that a trash in his eyes in the past had just climbed into the elegant hall in such a grand manner, and occupied a relatively high height, which he couldn't match.

Although they are half-brothers, but because the relationship has not been "friendly" for a long time, the family relationship between the two is quite weak.

Zhang Xuan chuckled, first bowed to greet Zhang Jiuming, Zhang Jiugao and Liu Shi, and then cupped his hands to Zhang Huan and Zhang Ning, "I've seen you two brothers."

Zhang Huan grabbed Zhang Xuan's hand affectionately, but when he turned his head, he accidentally noticed the awkward expression on Zhang Ning's face, and frowned secretly, but didn't say anything.

As the older brother, Zhang Huan understands Zhang Ning's temperament very well.Zhang Ning has no other problems, except that he is narrow-minded and a bit harsh.Zhang Xuan suddenly changed from a slut who harmed the family to the "pillar" of the Zhang family, and he still couldn't turn the corner for a while.

In private, Zhang Huan had already talked openly and honestly with Zhang Ning twice.The words are very clear, no matter what, the three are brothers of flesh and blood, brothers must be united as one, this is the premise and foundation.If there is a split between the brothers, how can the Zhang family restore its former glory in the future?
In fact, from Zhang Huan's point of view, some things were already on the table: Zhang Xuan was born out of the sky like a star, and his light was getting brighter day by day. The hope of the Zhang family's future development and rise was ultimately pinned on him.Even the servants and maidservants of the Zhang family could see this clearly, but Zhang Huan did not believe that the second son, Zhang Ning, would not understand.

Fortunately, Zhang Xuan didn't care about Zhang Ning's lack of embarrassment and lukewarmness.In line with the principle of family and all things prospering, Zhang Xuan keeps a respectful attitude towards Zhang Ning. As long as Zhang Ning is not too much, he will generally save some face for Zhang Ning in consideration of the overall situation.

Zhang Xuan's indifferent gaze swept across Zhang Ning's face, and slowly sat down on the seat beside Zhang Huan.Before sitting down, he smiled and nodded to the two sister-in-laws of Song and Jiao.

Needless to say, Mrs. Song, since Zhang Huan escaped from danger and returned home, she was grateful for Zhang Xuan's rescue, and her attitude towards Zhang Xuan took a 180-degree turn; In Linglong's mind, she saw that this little uncle had a bright future, and her attitude became extremely humble and courteous.

Liu Shi didn't say much all the time, but her soft eyes always fell on her son, and she became more and more relieved.

Zhang Jiuming laughed loudly, "Xuan'er, this time Prime Minister Yang personally recommended you to be a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. This is a great thing. The doctor in the Ministry of Rites is a rich vacancy with real power, so many people can't wait..."

"Uncle is very right. Although the doctor of the Ministry of Rites is only from the fifth-rank official rank, he has power. He is located in a prominent yamen and holds an important position. I see that the third younger brother has such a high starting point for his career. possible."

Zhang Huan looked at Zhang Xuan with a little ecstasy, and his voice sighed, "It was a cold window in a certain decade, and I was admitted to the imperial examination for several years, and I just got a position as a prince praise doctor. Trapped in a big prison, although he was rescued by his third younger brother, he was lucky enough to be dismissed from office and survived, but this life is no longer destined for official career."

"The lifeblood of my family is all tied to the third brother. I only hope that the third brother can cherish the opportunity and act cautiously... If I can be appointed as a marquis and a minister in the future, the Zhang family will be honored."

Zhang Xuan also stared deeply at Zhang Huan, and nodded silently, "Brother, don't worry. It's a good thing to not have an official position. It's also a heavy responsibility for my brother to help my mother with housework at home temporarily. There is a chance, but it is not certain..."

Zhang Xuan didn't finish his sentence, so he stopped talking, but the meaning behind his words was obvious.

Zhang Jiugao suddenly interjected from the side, "Second Brother, Xuan'er still doesn't have a nickname, right? Now he's about to become an official, and it's not proper if he doesn't have a nickname. It's better for Second Brother to decide how to choose a nickname for Xuan'er."

Zhang Jiuming was startled, and pondered.

Biao characters are given by parents or teachers, although Zhang Xuan wanted to get one himself, but later felt that it was not in line with the rules of this era, so he gave up.

Zhang Jiuming pondered for a long time, then raised his head to look at Zhang Xuan and said with a smile, "How about calling him Zizhan? Most of Zizhan's people are famous scholars and sages. Xuan'er is extremely talented, mature and steady, and deserves the word 'Zizhan'."

"Zhang Xuan——Zhang Zizhan..." Zhang Jiugao murmured a few times beside him, and suddenly waved his hands in applause, "Yes, this watch is elegant and elegant, and it is worthy of our Xuan'er."

……

……

Naturally, there was another feast to celebrate that day, and the Zhang family parted away happily.

On the morning of the second day, Zhang Xuan had just returned from "exercise" outside the city when he received news that the emperor had urgently called him into the palace.

Zhang Xuan hastily washed and changed into a brand new blue shirt, dressed neatly, the eunuch Li Jingzhong who came to give Emperor Xuan a word was already a little impatient, even though Zhang's family served them respectfully and with good tea.

Seeing Zhang Xuan coming in, Li Jingzhong looked Zhang Xuan up and down a few times, got up and smiled slightly, "Young Master Zhang, the emperor has called urgently, let's go to the palace to meet the saint quickly."

"Eunuch Lao has been waiting for a long time, Zhang Xuan is ashamed." Zhang Xuan cupped his hands in salute.

Strictly speaking, Zhang Xuan is gaining momentum at the moment. He is loved by the concubine and the emperor. The sour taste made Li Jingzhong feel good about it.

Zhang Xuan rode the carriage brought by Li Jingzhong, directly entered the palace, and went straight to the imperial study.

Along the way, after a few brief conversations, Zhang Xuan unexpectedly discovered that this person was also a well-known eunuch in power in history——Li Fuguo, the eunuch next to Tang Suzong Li Heng (now Prince Heng).Of course, this is something to say later, at this moment Li Jingzhong is just a servant in the palace under Gao Lishi, with no status at all.

However, Zhang Xuan did not underestimate this hidden eunuch because of this.

When he was about to get off the car, Zhang Xuan quietly held a silver pancake of about ten taels and handed it to Li Jingzhong, and smiled lowly, "I'm sorry to trouble Eunuch Li, please don't be disgusted with him if you want to."

Li Jingzhong was very surprised, but his expression changed a few times, he still tacitly picked up the silver cake, but his affection for Zhang Xuan was even stronger in his heart.

It is not new for foreign ministers to give gifts to eunuchs, but they are all powerful and powerful eunuchs like Gao Lishi. As for low-level eunuchs like Li Jingzhong, few people care about it—receive gifts from foreign ministers. It was Li Jingzhong's first experience since entering the palace at the age of five, and he was bound to be extremely impressed.

When the carriage arrived at the small square outside the Imperial Study Room, Li Jingzhong jumped out of the carriage, raised the curtain of the carriage and smiled, but his attitude was somewhat respectful, "Mr. Zhang, please. Please get out of the carriage and wait outside. Our family will report to General Gao. "

"My father-in-law." Zhang Xuan nodded and cupped his hands.
