Zhang Rang was obviously not surprised when he heard this answer. He just smiled and continued to ask in an old voice: "Since you know, why do you still recognize me as your father?"

"I do not care."

Almost without thinking, Zhang Yan blurted out.

"I don't care what these people look at me."

"Reputation is indeed important, and reputation may determine many things under the same conditions as each other."

"But when there is a huge gap in power itself, fame is false, meaningless, and shattered at the touch of a finger."

"If someone laughs at me for being a thief and father, but he has worse food and clothing than me, his wife is not as beautiful as mine, and the living conditions he gives his wife are far worse than the living conditions I give mine, then this kind of ridicule will only make him short-sighted, And stubborn."

"not to mention……"

"All right!"

Suddenly, Zhang Rang interrupted Zhang Yan's eloquent talk suddenly, and Zhang Yan who was sitting opposite was even more excited, and secretly scolded himself a pig nose in his heart.This kind of eloquent attitude is the most enviable, if Zhang Rang looks at him and thinks it is not pleasing to the eye, then he will overturn his car.

"Okay, enough."

Fortunately, Zhang Rang, who was sitting in a high position, didn't act too fiercely. He just looked at Zhang Yan who was kneeling below, and his gaze became a little kind.

"You don't have a signature yet. Although it's a bit late, I will get one for you. It's also your gift of coming of age. When you go out in the future, don't let your hair hang loose."

"Thank you father for giving me the word!"

The wind outside gradually stopped, thick clouds overlapped each other, and the last ray of sunshine in 187 AD shone on the earth after a long absence.

……

The year is over.

The city of Luoyang gradually returned to the hustle and bustle of the past, and amidst the hustle and bustle, a somewhat special news quietly circulated among the upper-middle-class circles.

Luoyang City has recently had a noble son, who is not young, and seems to be the son of Zhongchang servant Zhang Rang.

Of course, it’s not that there are immortals who went down to earth to help Zhang Rang recover his limbs, but Zhang Rang, a treacherous minister who never adopted a son, or could not adopt a son at all, suddenly announced recently that he would adopt a poor family boy from his hometown as an adopted son and give him a gift The word "De Mao" means "Mao Xiong De Mao".

The word Yan itself has the meaning of "beautiful man with both ability and political integrity", and there is a saying in Er Yali of the Book of Songs that "beautiful scholars are Yan".Taking Demao as the character is complementing and complementing Zhang Yan's name.

This really exceeded the expectations of many people.After all, in their eyes, it is normal for a person like Zhang Rang who has not received systematic education to bestow characters on his son, call him "Ziyi", "Zijun", and "Zixiong".As everyone knows, in order to give Zhang Yan a suitable name, Zhang Rang searched all over the civil and military courts, and even dug out the most talented master he could find from Jiangnan, so he decided on a name of Demao.

Perhaps this is the nervousness of those who have a child in their 50s and have never been a father. Most people don't understand it.

"What a bastard, that Zhang Yan has made his way to the top by relying on his influence, and he even recognizes a thief as his father and doesn't know good from bad. Let me see..."

In Luoyang City, in a lively restaurant, a middle-aged man in white clothes seemed to be drinking spirits for the first time. He was a little delirious after drinking, and he was holding the hands of several people around him and yelling at him.But instead of rejecting the surrounding celebrities, many people responded, and even scolded together, wishing to peel that villain and cramp it, in order to relieve their hatred.

"Brother Meng De, have you seen it? This is the human heart..."

In a box next to it, two people were sitting opposite each other drinking.Compared with the table delicacies of the celebrities outside, the things on the table of these two people are much lighter.

A plate of five-spice broad beans, a plate of fried peanuts, a few cold dishes of meat and meat, two people are drinking a small wine, you have a bite, it is quite a taste.

Hearing the yelling outside, one of the men in snow-white clothes, inlaid with gold and wearing jade, smiled, and then said: "They don't need to pay attention to what I have done, and they don't need to understand my personality, they only need to know I live a more prosperous life than them, so I can yell and vent my dissatisfaction, this is the horror of jealousy."

Chapter 6 The Life of the Rich Second Generation

After all, Zhang Yan took a sip of the wine, but he didn't look angry.

It has been more than three months since he came to this era.Since he was adopted by Zhang Rang as his adopted son and sent out of the palace that day, he was arranged to live near a quite prosperous street in Luoyang, where he bought a small courtyard and settled down.

As if nothing happened, Zhang Rang ignored him for three consecutive days, but arranged for his servants to take care of his daily life, and did not go out of the palace to see him until three days later.

Nothing special happened in the second meeting between the two.Zhang Rang just gave him the word, and at the same time sent him a sum of gold and silver.An old face was expressionless, he didn't say much, sat for a while and then went back without saying a word.

Looking at the other party's appearance of giving pocket money to the child, Zhang Yan couldn't help staring at the several large boxes of official silver in the yard, his scalp numb.

Is this what it feels like to be a rich second generation?

There is nothing to talk about after that. Zhang Yan, who just came to this era, eats and drinks delicious food every day. He looks like a top-notch dude and knows everything about this world.At the same time, relying on his fluent speech and generous behavior, he sneaked into the upper circles of Luoyang within a few days.

Those with good deeds even arranged him and several other top yamen in Luoyang city together, and called him the four princes of Luoyang.

One is Yuan Gonglu, the eldest son of the Yuan family, and the other is Yuan Benchu, the eldest son of the Yuan family.Although the third person is not the fourth generation and third father, his grandfather is Cao Teng, Marquis of Feiting, and Cao Mengde, whose ancestor can climb up to Cao Shen, the founding father of the Han Dynasty, is no worse than the first two.And the fourth place is Zhang Yandemao, the son of Zhongchang servant Zhang Rang, who has no background and no background, and Zhang Yandemao, who has no background but is very rich.

It can be said that it is fortunate that General He Jin has no cousins, otherwise he, the fourth son, would be squeezed out of the queue of Luoyang's four sons in an instant.

"Hehe, Demao, you have a good attitude. If you are an ordinary person, if you are sprayed like this every day... yes, you will be so angry that you don't want to see people. How can you be like you, and you still have the mind to invite me out for dinner and drink Hearing Zhang Yan's words, the middle-aged man in Tsing Yi with small eyes and thin beard sitting opposite him chuckled and replied with a smile.

I already know what the character of the other party is, so what can I do if the group of guys outside are noisy?Do you have the ability to overthrow Zhang Rang?If not, even the Yuan family, you have to be obedient. The position of the third prince is worth a lot of money. If Zhang Rang is in a hurry, don't just lose the official position.

Picking up a bowl of tender yellow egg custard in front of him, Cao Cao scooped up a large spoon, took a sip and ate it into his mouth, muttering.There is a thick oily aroma in the aroma of eggs, which is enjoyable and not greasy at the same time.The hot egg custard melted in the mouth and entered Cao Cao's stomach along the mouthpiece.Cao Cao clearly felt a warm feeling going down the esophagus, falling straight into the stomach pouch, and a burst of hot air rose up, dispelling the coldness from his body.

"Comfortable!"

Squinting his eyes and leaning on the back of the chair, Cao Cao touched his forehead, and he was actually sweating a little.

Looking down at the egg custard in the bowl, the tender yet firm egg custard was sprinkled with chopped green onion, and the black pepper powder fell into the custard, removing the earthy smell of a lot of eggs.As for the oily bottom of the bowl...

Cao Cao picked up the bowl and smelled it.

Sniff again.

Smell again.

"Don't smell it, I asked the cook to add a little sheep oil to the soybean oil."

Seeing Cao Cao scratching his ears and cheeks, Zhang Yan smiled.audible reminder to.

After hearing Zhang Yan's words, Cao Cao suddenly realized: "Is this the new dish you researched? For your godfather?"

Different from those middle-level people, the top yamen like Cao Cao is quite well informed about some news in Luoyang City, and at the same time knows some things that ordinary people can't understand.

For example, the one in front of him, most of the intellectuals in Luoyang have the impression that he dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and is a dandy.Almost everyone thinks that Zhang Yan is a real non-recyclable garbage who only spends money with ill-gotten money.

But what few people know is that most of the money Zhang Yan used for food and clothing was earned by himself in various ways, not by Zhang Rang.For example, the newly opened tailor shop in Beicheng, the wine shop outside Luoyang City, or the bustling restaurant I am in now.

This is all Zhang Yan's property.

As for the huge amount of pocket money Zhang Rang gave him every month, Zhang Yan saved a part of it for emergencies, and the rest was used by him to hire a large number of workers, and he continued to build various Large-scale projects.

Build a road for this area today, and build a bridge over there tomorrow.Although for Zhang Yan, he just intends to find some idlers to practice his hands and prepare for the miracles he will create in the future.But for ordinary people, these are real "people's livelihood projects".

Maybe he didn't help those poor people directly, but the living environment of ordinary people is indeed getting better day by day.The large number of jobs provided by these projects have also brought extra income to the people during the winter slack time. It can be said that among the people at the bottom, Zhang Yan, and even Zhang Rang's reputation has improved to a certain extent.

Although I think it's silly for you to spend money to build roads for us, I think you are a good person-this is the truest thinking of most people at the bottom.

The aristocratic family worked hard to exploit the people at the bottom, Zhang Rang tried hard to get money from the family, and Zhang Yan tried his best to spend Zhang Rang's money on the people at the bottom.In Zhang Yan's words, this seems to be called: "take it from the people, use it for the people".

In addition to occasionally building some inexplicable things, such as a spacious avenue that can accommodate eight carriages driving side by side, or thirteen huge wells connected to the earth corresponding to the Southern Dipper and Beidou, Cao Cao is a little confused.But at other times, Zhang Yan seemed to him a pretty good, normal guy.

"Well, as long as you like it, since you think it's okay to eat, I'll ask someone to pack and send a copy to my godfather."

Counting the time, it is already noon, and it is time for Zhang Yan to show his filial piety once a day.Today he called out Cao Cao just to let the other party try the dishes for him.

Although he is called the Four Great Princes together with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, Cao Cao is the one who knows him best and has the best relationship among them.

In fact, this is inevitably related to origin.The Yuan family and Yuan Shao have always looked down on Cao Cao and Zhang Yan, guys like Zhang Yan, who have the debuff of recognizing a thief as a father.Even if he was laughing and joking on the surface, he couldn't hide the disdain in his heart.

But Yuan Shu is completely different from Yuan Shao.

He didn't hide his disdain for Cao Cao and Zhang Yan at all, it was written directly on his face.After all, he called himself "the first son of Luoyang", and the gap between him and the "fourth son" like Zhang Yan was almost endless.If the relationship with Zhang Yan hadn't been eased because of something later, I'm afraid the two of them wouldn't even say hello when they met.

Speaking of which, it was half a month ago.

At that time, Zhang Yan had just opened a new tailor shop in Beicheng.

Considering that building wonders by himself in the future will require a lot of fame in exchange for blueprints, doing things in Luoyang will undoubtedly help him develop better in the future.

He intends to try to reproduce the fashions in his past games into reality.

Thinking of the fashion suit he bought in a goose factory game with great effort, Zhang Yan immediately asked someone to help him post a notice in Luoyang City...

Chapter 7 missions that keep failing

"A lot of money to buy adult peacock tail feathers, the quantity is not limited."

Below is a vivid picture of a peacock spreading its tail.

Since Zhang Yan had been doing good people and good deeds for more than two months, Zhang Yan's words still had a certain degree of credibility in the hearts of the people at the bottom.

But even if people went to mountains and crossed rivers to search for it, almost ten years passed, but they still couldn't find the divine bird that Zhang Yan said.

It wasn't until Zhang Yan had calmed down a bit and was about to give up that a nine-foot man who claimed to be "Wu" found him and claimed that he had discovered this divine bird after crossing the endless mountains in the south of Yizhou. And pulled out the feathers of the divine bird and brought them back.

For this reason, he also led the tribe to fight with the aborigines on the other side of the mountain, and wiped out the group of aborigines who occupied the peacocks.

After hearing the news, Zhang Yan took a bag of gold cakes and gave it to the other party without saying a word, and sincerely invited the other party to settle in Luoyang and be his bodyguard.It's just that the man is said to be one of the heirs of the tribe, so he bluntly rejected him.

Although he did not succeed in recruiting the other party, Zhang Yan once again established his trustworthy image among the people through this behavior of asking for feathers with a lot of money. I picked up my favorite white.

King of Heart · Feather.jpg

Maybe it is true that Buddha depends on gold clothes, and people depend on clothes, or it may be that people's lives were indeed lacking 2000 years ago.According to the evaluation standards at that time, as long as you are not ugly, you can be called a handsome man if you walk around the street with a green shirt and a white horse.What's more, it was Zhang Yan who was not bad in appearance, and even changed into new clothes happily, swaggering and riding his horse out for a ride.

Since then, the reputation of "Master Peacock" and "Master Feather" has spread from Luoyang's yamen circles.And Yuan Gonglu also found him at that time.

……

Chihiro

"..."

……

"..."

"Brother Lu... is there something wrong?"

……

Looking at Yuan Shu, who was silent and staring at him, Zhang Yan spent a lot of energy, only to learn the purpose of his coming to find him from the awkward face of the other party.

Probably: You are so handsome.How can you be so handsome.You are so handsome as the fourth son, where should I put the face of the first son...

All kinds of thoughts can be summed up in one sentence: I want your new clothes too.

After knowing the other party's purpose, Zhang Yan couldn't help but sigh Yuan Shu, although most of the novels describe him as a person who hates thousands of people, but he is actually quite cute at this time!

First, he copied a few sets of clothes for Yuan Shu and gave them to the other party. At the same time, Zhang Yan said generously that this was a trivial matter, and he would call me whenever he needed something, and he would definitely help if he could.Immediately, Yuan Shu looked at Zhang Yan differently.

After all, Yuan Shu also knew that he had always looked down on Zhang Yan, never gave Zhang Yan a good face, and sometimes ridiculed him when he drank too much.
