Chapter 042 Zhang Jing is furious!
In Zhang's mother's yard, the atmosphere was warm.
Night has already fallen, lanterns are hung high in the garden, torches are bright, and the garden is illuminated like daytime. Zhang Chengxi is the protagonist of today's banquet.
The Zhang family's revival seemed to see hope in Zhang Chengxi. The old lady was happy as if she was decades younger. The young juniors were inspired by Zhang Chengxi and excited, while the girls all hated their daughters.
In life, you should read poetry and books well, and then you will win the toad palace, climb the Golden Palace, and serve the emperor. If the Zhang family had such ambitions, why would the Zhang family not be happy?
Zhang Chengxi wanted to start from running a school, hold a mountain-watching poetry meeting, and recruit young talents, making the Zhang family a veritable first-class family in Yangzhou. It has to be said that his ideas were much bigger than Zhang Chengdong and he also won the heart of Zhang's mother.
As for whether these ideas can be realized, whether it can really make Zhang Jiasheng, Zhang's mother a woman, how could she care about it? Anyway, Zhang Chengxi is more and more pleasing to her. Her ancestors are happy, and the servants, maids and servants in the yard are all relaxed.
In the inner house, the world is bigger than the ancestors. If the ancestors are uncomfortable, the servants should not think about living a good life. If the ancestors are comfortable, the servants will be comfortable.
So, today the Zhang family can be said to be celebrating the whole family, as lively as the New Year!
In this lively and festive atmosphere, Cui Jiao suddenly walked in from outside the yard with small steps. She walked all the way to the old lady and said this to the old lady.
The smile on Zhang's mother's face, which was originally smiling, faded away quickly, and her eyes suddenly became sharper.
The yard suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at Zhang's mother.
Zhang's mother's voice suddenly rose, sharp and harsh, like a blade: "Who asked him to do this? My aunt's son is sick. If I were sent to the academy, how could my Zhang family explain to my aunt's house?"
When Zhang's mother said this, the audience was silent, and Hua Hanjun complained secretly.
After all, the paper couldn't keep the fire, so the matter was exposed to the old lady. Lu Jiazheng's brother entered Guanshan Academy, which was very contrary to the old lady's intention.
The old lady had a clear meaning about Lu Zheng’s handling, that is, no matter what, she would never be sent to the academy.
In the old lady's words, reading is not something that everyone can read. Who can read is born and destined. A born like Lu Zheng is not a person who is destined to be a student. How can he be sent to the academy?
Now, Zhang Chengdong went against her wishes, how could she feel better?
The matter about Lu Zheng has actually been spread in the Zhang family. The wives and grandmas at home know about it, let alone the maids and servants. This matter has been hotly discussed among the servants since the afternoon. In fact, the old lady knew about it last.
When Cui’s story comes up at this time, does she dare not hide it from the old lady, or does she have ulterior motives?
Hua Hanjun looked at Brother Hao. Brother Hao had just returned from the academy. I'm afraid no one dared to tell him the whole story. Zhang Chengxi was even more confused!
Immediately, Hua Hanjun chuckled and said, "Brother Hao, Guanshan Academy is actually for you! Speaking of talent and learning, who can compete with Hao Ge'er in the entire Guanshan Academy? But I have to remind you that your uncle is really boring to see you in the academy. So, he sent Zheng Ge'er from his aunt's house to the academy.
This pickled product is indeed a good person to make the traitor and fool, but he insisted on studying. The eldest wife took the exam for his studies personally, and even the Thousand Characters of the Book are not fully read. Brother Hao, the eldest master has delivered this dish to you.
The acre of three-point land in the academy is within your control. You have to vent your anger to the sisters and grandmas!"
When Hua Hanjun said this, Zhang Haoran reacted.
Last time, he and Hua Hanjun were allies. In order to deal with Brother Hao, he caused a huge disaster. He was afraid that the disaster would not be able to be solved, so he went to the academy in shame and dared not come back.
This time he finally came back and heard the news that Lu Zheng was going to the academy again. How could he not hate him so much that he was so angry?
Zhang Haoran is in a good mood today. His father is back. From now on, the Zhang family will be the head of the father. The uncle is old-fashioned and serious. Zhang Haoran is very afraid. After Zhang's mother, everyone spoiled Brother Hao, thinking that he was the Wenquxing of the Zhang family. The only exception is Zhang Chengdong.
Zhang Chengdong didn't take Zhang Haoran's trick. Last time he threw his mouth on Zhang Haoran's face. Now, when he thinks about it, he still feels a burning pain on his face.
"Okay, this pickled product has gone to the academy! That's great. I want to see what he has to learn. When I was young, I heard people say that my aunt's family is a tribe of the three princes, and the character is not as beautiful as usual. This time, I want to compare with the Lu surname to see who is really unusual."
Zhang Haoran said loudly, he suddenly became excited. When he was so excited by Zhang Chengxi's words that he was so excited that he was still wondering how to show his face. Now a Lu Zheng popped up. Isn't there a chance?
Red flowers need green leaves to be flanked by green leaves, and Lu Zheng can only be considered a clown at most. However, it is precisely because of such clown that Zhang Haoran’s popularity in learning Guanshan Academy!
Zhang Chengxi also figured out what was going on. In fact, he was able to come back from the capital this time, which was somewhat related to Lu Zheng.
The old lady at home was really dissatisfied with her elder brother and was sick at home. She sent her letter to the capital. Zhang Rong had the idea of asking Zhang Chengxi to go home. Zhang Chengxi had long wanted to go home because he had the identity of an Imperial College student in the capital. He didn't dare to mention this identity to anyone, for fear of being hurt by others.
However, when he returned to Yangzhou, the Imperial College was still a bit important. Since Emperor Xinde took power, the Dakang Dynasty issued the "Order of Appeal of Wisdom" many times, advocating officials at all levels to promote the country to compete for the lack of talent selection and investigation by the Ministry of Personnel.
Zhang Chengxi has this identity, and then uses the influence of some places or secretly gives some money, it is not difficult to find an opportunity. Yangzhou belongs to Nanzhili, and Yingtian also has six government offices. It is much easier for Zhang Chengxi to do an errand here than in the capital.
For these reasons, Zhang Chengxi had already learned about Lu Zheng's origin on the way back. Now he heard that his elder brother sent this guy to the academy, he didn't mind at all, and said:
"Brother did this right! I am a great Zhang family, can I still be fooled by the Lu family? My aunt asked Brother Zheng to come to Zhang family to study, but my Zhang family insisted on stopping her, for the outsiders to laugh at her.
I know this brother, it is said that he is a bit anxious, but studying and studying is not a clever mind. If he takes a step back, even if he is really a seedling of studying, I, Zhang'er, are not afraid!"
Zhang Chengxi waved his hand and said to Zhang Haoran: "Haoran, I know there are some conflicts between you and Brother Zheng. This kid has caused you a little loss by cheating. This happens, you just think that this person is a whetstone that sharpens your progress, and jade cannot be made into a weapon without being carved.
Your personality needs to be tempered well, and you will achieve something after the spring exam next year!"
Zhang Haoran said, "Yes, father, don't worry. I really don't take this brother seriously! He is just a clown man. My ancestors said that studying is not something that anyone can do. It's like this kind of pickled goods, and you want to study to succeed. Haha, it's not that I underestimate him, that's absolutely impossible!"
He paused and said, "Anyway, our Guanshan Academy still has a meditation and calculation subject. Lu Zheng can learn a few words and recognize a few numbers. In the future, he can see the village at his aunt's house and collect rent. That is his greatest fortune in his life.
If he can have such a good fortune in the future, he will still have to thank my Zhang family for his cultivation and support!”
When Zhang Chengxi and Zhang Haoran and his son sang together, Hua Hanjun, who was standing beside him, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn't understand why Zhang Chengdong gave Lu Zheng such a great opportunity now. He only knew that since this happened, he must not let the old lady get angry again. Once Zhang Chengdong left, the situation in the big house was already subtle. If he would make the old lady unhappy again, his life would be hard in the future.
Sure enough, the old lady's face looked much better, and she said, "Brother Hao is ambition, it's good! Let the boy from the Lu family know how powerful our Qianliju is!"
When the old lady said this, she immediately flattered her. Everyone exaggerated Haoran, rushing to the forefront, for fear that the good words that were left behind would be finished by others.
Zhang Haoran was even more proud. His previous depression and unhappiness seemed to have been wiped out tonight.
"Lu Zheng, let's take a look. When I arrived at the academy, I, Zhang Haoran, told you to leave without any worries!" Zhang Haoran sweared in his heart.
As soon as he thought about this, he couldn't wait to think that Lu Zheng could go to Guanshan Academy as soon as possible, so that he could use his means and turned around and insisted on slandering this kid's life and death, so that he could eliminate the hatred in his heart!
Zhang Jing was depressed for one night and saw that his family praised Zhang Haoran as a flower, which was really delicious.
They are also grandsons of ancestors, why is Zhang Haoran so popular? Zhang Jing, the legitimate grandson, now the eldest grandson, has to be angry at both ends?
He immediately couldn't help saying, "Brother Hao, take it easy, don't walk on the banana peel and fall into trouble again. If you make trouble at home, you can sneak into the academy to hide from the limelight. You are the treasure of your ancestors, and no one dares to laugh at you. But if you fall into trouble in the academy, can you still go home and hide? Then others are not the ones who joke about you, and our Zhang family will follow you and make a fool of yourself!"
When Zhang Jing said this, Hua Hanjun lost her expression and said angrily: "Are you going to commit suicide? I didn't see that the old lady's face was just a little better..."
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhang Jing became a little drunk and became more courageous. When Hua Hanjun stopped him, he became even more excited. He smiled and said, "I'm just telling the truth. Nowadays, no one in our family dares to tell the truth. A child can brag to the sky. Is it shameful?
