Chapter 140 Two Letters
"The former county of Yuzhang, Hongdu New Mansion. Stars are divided into Yizhen, the earth is connected to Henglu. Three rivers are surrounded by five lakes, control the barbarian Jing and lead Ouyue. Things are blooming, and dragon lights are shooting at the ruins of Niu Dou; people are outstanding and powerful, Xu Ru is down to Chen Fan's bed..."
In the bright study, Zhang Zong sat in front of the window and shaking his head and reading the article sent by Wang Bo. This was a very thick letter because it was accompanied by the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" written by Wang Bo.
It is believed that Wang Bo said that this was written by him after attending the Tengwang Pavilion party in Hongzhou. He also thought that Zhang Zong had reminded him that Hongzhou was beautiful, so he gave the proud article he wrote to Zhang Zong as a gift.
"Why are you so happy?" Wan'er smiled and went up to serve Zhang Zong with a tea ceremony. Since Zhang Zong received this letter, the smile on his face has never stopped, and he even started to recite with great interest. This is unprecedented.
"Of course I'm happy. Wan'er, come and see. This is an article that can be passed down from generation to generation, which is simply exquisite!" Zhang Zong excitedly pulled Wan'er over to let her see this article that was famous for future generations.
In fact, Wan'er had been listening for a while just now, and naturally knew that this was a good article. However, Yanran smiled and took the article and read it carefully. Then she was amazed. It was not uncommon for people who wrote good poems in the Tang Dynasty, but it was rare for people who could write articles so majestic, elegant and skillful.
"Wan'er, please put this article away. In two days, I will go to the calligraphy and painting shop and ask someone to frame it. If it is passed on to my descendants in the future, it will definitely become a family heirloom!" Zhang Zong said excitedly again at this time. This was the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" written by Wang Bo. If it is passed down to future generations, it will definitely be a priceless treasure.
"If it is framed, I'm afraid the young master will spend a lot of money!" Wan'er smiled and rolled up the article gently, because Wang Bo's letter was sent from Hongzhou, and it may even change hands several times. I don't know how much time it took to go on the road, which caused the entire letter to be wrinkled. If you want to frame it, you may have to hire a master mounter.
"This is a priceless treasure, and it is worth it for much money!" Zhang Zong was still very excited at this time. The New Year was about to be celebrated, and this may be the best New Year gift he received.
After being excited, Zhang Zong picked up the second letter. It was a coincidence that Zhang Zong rarely received a letter, but today there were two letters. Now the letter in his hand was sent by his uncle Zhang Jianzhi, who was far away in Xiangzhou.
I saw the six big words "My nephew Zhang Zong's close friend" written on the envelope. Each character is made of iron and silver hooks, which looks vigorous and powerful, and is many times stronger than Zhang Zong's characters.
This made Zhang Zong secretly glad that he did not live with his uncle because he heard from his cousin Zhang Jing that Zhang Jianzhi was extremely strict with his sons and nephews, especially in calligraphy. When they were young, if someone dared to be lazy when they practiced calligraphy, they would just serve him. For this reason, Zhang Jing had not known how many beats he had, so he wrote good characters with one hand. If it were Zhang Zong, even if he grew up with a thousand-handed Guanyin, it would probably not be enough for Zhang Jianzhi to play.
When Zhang Zong opened the letter, his eyes suddenly widened when he saw the content on the letter, because Zhang Jianzhi was actually coming to the capital.
"Oh no, my uncle is coming to the capital. Wouldn't my cousin and sister-in-law be in trouble?" Zhang Zong also stood up at this time. Zhang Jing and his wife were elopement. Zhang Jianzhi is said to have a rigid character again. If he comes to the capital, he may not have any good results.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zong immediately instructed Wan'er: "Hold a carriage and let's go to the manor outside the city!"
Wan'er didn't dare to ask more when she saw Zhang Zong's nervous look, so she ran out to hire a car immediately. Then the two went out together. Because it was getting late now, Wan'er was a little lonely when she stayed alone, so Zhang Zong simply took her to the manor. Speaking of which, Wan'er hadn't been to the manor, and just happened to let her recognize the door.
The snow had not melted a few days ago, and the road was ice and snowy, but the driver drove the carriage very fast. Fortunately, Zhang Zong was slowly getting used to these drivers driving fast cars. In addition, he had something to do, so he didn't feel motion sickness. However, Wan'er took such a bumpy car for the first time, and unfortunately got hit and was so disgusted.
Finally, when she got off the car at the manor, Wan'er leaned softly in Zhang Zong's arms, and she couldn't even use any strength. Zhang Zong had to hold her off the carriage. After a while, Wan'er recovered some strength.
"Cousin, why are you here?" Zhang Jing and his wife who received the news immediately went out to greet them.
"The big thing is wrong, uncle is coming!" Zhang Zong said as he handed the letter he brought to Zhang Jing. As a result, Zhang Jing was shocked at this time, and he trembled with his hands. His cousin next to him looked pale and completely lost his usual calmness.
"This... what should I do? If my uncle comes, maybe..." Zhang Jing whispered in cold sweat on his forehead. It was not his timidity. It was because Zhang Jianzhi had too high prestige at home and was too strict in normal times, so no one in his family was afraid of him.
"Husband..." The cousin-in-law also hugged Zhang Jing with tears in her eyes. The couple fled to the capital, but in fact they were under considerable psychological pressure. The most feared thing was that their family members found this place. Now this day is finally coming. Maybe Zhang Jianzhi will really break up the miserable couple?
"Cousin, sister-in-law, don't panic too much. I don't know when my uncle will arrive in the capital now, and you have been married for a long time. No one can change this. I believe my uncle will not really break you up!" Zhang Zong couldn't help but persuade them when they looked nervous and scared.
"That's right, at most, I can't let my uncle break my legs, but it's impossible to break us up!" Zhang Jing finally showed off his masculinity at this time. If he couldn't even protect his wife, then what kind of man is he?
My cousin's wife was usually a very propositional woman. Now she heard that her husband was so responsible, which made her finally calm down and she no longer shed tears. Zhang Zong also took the opportunity to hand Wan'er over to her cousin's wife for her. Then he took Zhang Jing to the study to discuss countermeasures. After all, being responsible is one thing, but Zhang Jianzhi can't really break his legs.
