Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng arrived at the gate of the mansion, and a lot of people poured out of the gate. Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng got off their horses and walked in. When they reached the hall, when Li Shi saw them, their faces were full of dust, while Zhang Yunzheng, who had obviously grown a bit taller, felt sad for a moment, and began to cry again. Pingyuan Hou just persuaded Li Shi, but now seeing the two sons, his eyes are wet.
Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng saluted, Zhang Yunming said with a smile: "Father and mother, we played very well this time, and we didn't suffer at all. Look, my distant cousin has grown taller again."
Li looked at the more handsome second son who had lost some youthfulness, feeling guilty and relieved in his heart, and said cautiously: "Are you... how are you?"
Zhang Yunzheng nodded with a tense face, he used to see his parents with a bad face, and lost his temper at every turn, but now he just wants to correct his evil ways and have a good attitude towards his parents.
Zhang Yunming rushed to say: "He bought gifts for his parents and siblings himself!"
Li Shi said in surprise: "Really?!"
Zhang Yunzheng glared at Zhang Yunming: "Why are you talking too much?!"
Zhang Yunming shouted to the outside: "Hurry up and bring in the second son's things!"
The Second Young Master's things were a sack and a small wooden box, the servant from the outer room rushed in, gave the wooden box to Zhang Yunming, put the sack aside, and went out again. Zhang Yunming stuffed the wooden box to Zhang Yunzheng: "Go, give it to parents!"
Zhang Yunzheng was awkward: "Go and give it."
Zhang Yunming pushed Zhang Yunzheng: "Go, go!"
Pushed by Zhang Yunming's elbow, Zhang Yunzheng handed the wooden box to Mrs. Li in extreme embarrassment. Mrs. Li opened it, took out a brocade box inside, opened it and said to Ping Yuanhou in surprise, "Oh! This pair of walnut balls must be for you!"
Marquis Pingyuan took it over solemnly, nodded and said, "I'm looking for walnuts, you put your heart into it." He couldn't hide a smile on his face.
Li picked up the abacus: "This must be for me, it's really thoughtful! I can use it every day." She was so happy that she wanted to cry again.
Zhang Yunzheng frowned and said, "Well...he bought a lot for you, more than a dozen cars!"
With tears in her eyes, Li said with a smile, "It's fine if you buy it, mother likes it very much."
Zhang Yunzheng suddenly felt sorry for his parents, turned around and grabbed Zhang Yunming's arm: "Hurry up and give them your gift list!"
Zhang Yunming smiled and handed the gift list to Mrs. Li, and said: "Not only did I buy it, but my grandfather and relatives all gave gifts, and they are all listed."
Mrs. Li took it over, and almost cried, "You are so troublesome. My son has grown up and can do things..." Her tone was a little sad.
Zhang Yunming understood very well. After Zhang Yunzheng became self-reliant, he also felt this sense of loss. He hurriedly said with a smile: "Mother needs to give more advice. Grandfather said that among his children, Mother is the most business-minded."
Li said in surprise: "Really?! He has never said that to me before."
Zhang Yunming nodded and said, "Grandpa gave us 600,000 yuan to buy food, and he spent a million dollars himself." He dared not write these figures in the letter, lest others would see them.
Li Shi was shocked: "So many!"
Ping Yuanhou also leaned forward: "Is this too much?!"
Although there was no one around, Zhang Yunming still lowered his voice and said: "Jiangnan rice is cheap, a few pennies or even one or two pennies are worth a fight, and we spent most of the money before we got to my grandparents' house, so I asked my grandparents for money." gone."
Ping Yuanhou patted the handle of the chair: "You brat!"
Mrs. Li sighed: "This is the first time your grandson is going to see your grandfather. If you open your mouth, how can he not give it!"
Zhang Yunming said: "My grandfather said that we should give us more than what my mother gave us, so he gave us 600,000 taels. I said that the famine year will come, and I want to make merit for my younger brother, so my grandfather said that I should buy more. Later, I bought more. Except for the grain that was transported over, my grandfather built more than a dozen large granaries before putting it down."
Ping Yuanhou asked keenly: "Have you told your grandfather about him?"
Zhang Yunming said: "I have to tell, he looks too much like my grandfather."
Mrs. Li covered the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and smiled: "I think my father is so generous because he is happy in his heart. If there is a famine, these grains are life-saving, and there is no harm in buying them. I am afraid that they will continue next year or the next year." It's a good year, and the price of food has dropped even more, so so much food will be wasted."
Marquis Pingyuan said, "How can it be ruined? Haven't you heard that the price of food has risen a bit?"
Mrs. Li whispered to Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng: "You don't know, just buy and sell grain for this, there is a lot of trouble in the capital. The third prince said that everyone should prepare food, and the crown prince said that everyone should sell grain, who should listen to this? Some people buy and sell at one time, so as not to offend one party, and secretly store or sell grain based on the quantity of buying and selling. My few rice shops have seen a lot of excitement."
Zhang Yunming smiled: "It's such a big commotion?"
Marquis Pingyuan also nodded and said: "The prince originally wanted to see the price of food fall even more, but now the price of food has risen instead of falling. It can be seen that the prince has fallen. I also heard that the emperor does not want to point out the fourth princess to you, so you Don't worry about it."
Zhang Yunming let out a big breath.
Mrs. Li looked at the sack on one side and asked, "What is that?"
Zhang Yunzheng said, "It's dried fruit."
Li's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "Oh! My good boy! That's my mother's favorite! I ate a lot when I was young, but it's rare when I come to the north. It's not a precious thing, it's not worth a thousand miles Far away, bring it here! I tell you, girls like this! Your sister and the sisters over there will definitely like it! It's so good... "
Zhang Yunzheng frowned: "But..."
Li Shi asked: "But what?!"
Zhang Yunming suppressed a smile: "But he also likes to eat! Mom, you have to save some of everything for him."
Mrs. Li looked at Zhang Yunzheng: "You are such a mother, our tastes are really similar! Okay, don't worry, I will keep everything for you! Don't eat too much, or your teeth will fall."
Zhang Yunzheng had no choice but to carry the sack that he had taken care of all the way to Li Shi. Li Shi opened the sack and smiled until his eyes became lines. This time, Zhang Yunming became a little jealous, and said to Mrs. Li: "Mother don't tell me, I can bring a car for mother."
Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "That's a loss. With that car, what is it worth?"
Zhang Yunming sighed: "As long as mother likes it, what's the disadvantage?"
Mrs. Li looked at Zhang Yunming with a smile: "What a good boy..." She looked at Zhang Yunzheng again: "You are also a good boy... everything is good..." She looked into the sack with a smile, took out a small bag, and opened it to taste it. taste. Ping Yuanhou got up and said: "You two come with me, I have to ask you a few words." He took them out.
In the middle, Marquis Pingyuan sat down and said solemnly: "The third prince suggested to the emperor that he wanted to buy grain. It was after the third prince and Zhenbeihou's mansion went out for a spring outing. You were there at the time. You can see what happened. ?”
Zhang Yunming shook his head and said: "Second Prince Shen took the Third Prince to climb the mountain. We were playing chess with the Fourth Prince, so we didn't go with them."
Marquis Ping Yuan stared at Zhang Yunming and said: "At the beginning when Second Miss Shen came to my house and she had a dream, you were given money from your mother to buy food. After the spring outing, Second Prince Shen and the Third Prince went climbing, and the Third Prince suggested To buy grain, and I heard that the Ye Mansion, the Jiang Mansion and their relatives all bought grain, could it be that the Second Young Master Shen went to tell the Third Prince because the Second Miss Shen told her family about her dream?"
Zhang Yunzheng stared at the ground, he didn't even lift it up, it was completely up to Zhang Yunming to resist, Zhang Yunming said with a smile: "Probably so."
Pingyuanhou turned the jade ball clatteringly, and frowned slightly: "The Shen family believes in that child's dream so much? How dare you let the third prince talk to the emperor?"
Zhang Yunming's face froze, and he said in a low voice: "It may not be the Shen family, but it must be the second son of Shen, right? Besides, that kid can name his younger brother, don't you think she is trustworthy?"
Ping Yuanhou was deep in thought, half-rolled his upper eyelids and looked at Zhang Yunming: "Are you hiding something from me?"
Just as Zhang Yunming was about to cover up, Zhang Yunzheng muttered in a low voice: "She's a brat, of course she knows."
Ping Yuanhou said seriously: "You can't just talk about her girl, she is a girl in her teens, if someone else hears about it, her reputation will be ruined."
Zhang Yunming hurriedly said: "Of course, of course, we will definitely not say it casually." Taking the opportunity, he did not answer Ping Yuanhou's question.
The two left and came out, Zhang Yunming said: "We have to ask that little chubby duck out."
Zhang Yunzheng was struggling with the sack—making his mother so happy, he felt less guilt because the gifts he bought were scarce, but the dried fruits were worthless in the first place, and now there are not many left, so he can't even take them out... Listen When Zhang Yunming said this, he snorted angrily, "You're just thinking about He Fan."
Zhang Yunming squinted: "Don't lose your temper with me just because your dried fruit was cut off by your mother."
Being hit, Zhang Yunzheng waved his fist: "Want to fight?!"
Zhang Yunming said: "What are you fighting for? It's time to discuss things! You will imitate your mother's handwriting and ask her out, and then we will meet her together." Zhang Yunzheng is naturally intelligent, and he can learn everything. In the past, when he was irritated, he did many unimaginable things, such as imitating the notes of the whole family, and leaving all kinds of weird notes to his parents and elder brothers.
Zhang Yunzheng was unhappy: "I don't want to see her! I bought dried fruit just to help you!"
Zhang Yunming sighed: "Okay! You write a letter, and we will cover your eyes on that day, so you won't see her, okay?"
Zhang Yunzheng had no choice but to agree.
In a few days it will be New Years. Every family is busy worshiping ancestors during the New Year.
In a dilapidated earth temple outside a small village outside the capital city, a child dressed as a Taoist priest said to the old Taoist priest sitting on the altar: "What the hell is Master going to do? The flowers are over! We have to go back to the mountains or go to the city, can you give me a letter?!"
The old Taoist clasped his arms and said to the little Taoist worriedly: "As a teacher, I am also in a dilemma!"
The little Taoist asked curiously: "Master, is there something difficult?"
The old Taoist sighed: "Originally, as a teacher, I planned to spend my life on the mountain and escape the chaos of war. But now, the world has changed drastically, and I just want to go down the mountain to have a look. Is there something wrong?"
The little Taoist was anxious: "I didn't say you were wrong, I also like to go out to the mountains to have fun. Then let's go to the city! The master can make money by showing people fortune-telling."
The old Taoist shook his head: "There are some people there, some are high-ranking officials and famous generals. I have killed them before. But now some people have changed their lives against the sky, and the fate of the country and many individuals have also changed. I originally counted it as No way. If they hit me, I can't afford to be ashamed as a teacher."
The little Taoist rolled his eyes: "Then let's change places?"
The old Taoist sighed: "I used to travel around, tell the fortunes of thousands of people, and point out the future. I'm afraid I can't hide from them."
The little Taoist shook his head: "Look at the trouble you caused yourself! Then we have to go back to the mountain?" He asked dejectedly.
The old Taoist looked at the direction of the capital with some reluctance: "However, this change of fate will never happen once in thousands of years. It would be a pity to miss it."
The little Taoist hurriedly said: "Then let's not go back to the mountain! Find a Taoist temple and hide first? Take a look here."
The old Taoist sighed again: "You have an uncle who is the master of Xiaoyun Temple outside the city..."
The little Taoist immediately became excited: "Then let's go and join him!"
The old Taoist said disinterestedly: "I have calculated it for him before. If you are poor, you will live long and if you are rich, you will live a short life. If you give up fame and wealth, you can die well. He was very unhappy at that time. We came here. I heard that Xiao Xiao outside the capital Yunguan incense is very good, he is famous far and wide. These are not auspicious omens... "
The little Taoist said impatiently: "But you said just now that your calculations in the past may not be accurate! Isn't it because someone changed his life? Let's go and see him quickly, at least we can have some hot food!"
The old Taoist sighed: "In the past I said he would not die well, but now I want to beat him up. Where does this make me put my old face?"
The little Taoist pulled the old Taoist: "Can't you show him the way?"
The old Taoist didn't want to move: "I said it, but he doesn't want to listen to me."
It was rare for the little Taoist to scold him like a little adult: "You let him suffer poverty without fame and fortune. Who would like it? Really! Take me there quickly, just don't open your mouth when you see him, he will come if you want to I won't drive you away..." As he spoke, he dragged the old Taoist priest to his feet, and dragged him on the road to find Xiaoyun Temple.
Taoist Master Mao, the main viewer of Xiaoyun Temple, is indeed the fellow apprentice of this old Taoist priest. He heard that a wandering Taoist priest came and claimed to be his senior brother, so he guessed it seven or eight times. He came out wearing a Taoist robe with frayed edges, and saw two Taoist priests, an old man and a young man, standing outside the door. The old man was the senior brother who kept saying that he could not live a good life. He welcomed the two of them in with a smile on his face, and was happy to see the old Taoist dodge his eyes and look guilty. He said that it is not easy to meet old people, but you don't have to worry about money if you live here, and then let them go to the guest room, and loudly told the Taoist priests to take care of their food and drink, and not to neglect his brother —Although he came to eat rice.
That night, the old Taoist priest and the young Taoist priest slept in a room with a charcoal fire. The young Taoist priest lay comfortably on the bed and sighed: "Master, look at how well Master is doing! We are lucky to be here!"
The old Taoist closed his eyes and sighed: "You dragged me into the mud."
The little Taoist was puzzled: "What's wrong with me? If we don't come, we will starve to death outside."
The old Taoist shook his head: "I looked at his face, and it was still the original judgment. If he doesn't listen to me, he must not die well. And what the man who defied the sky did is not in his destiny at all. If I can't analyze it, there is no way to get rid of it." .You let us owe him a favor now, how do I have to pay it back in the future?"
The little Taoist said in disbelief: "Such a big Taoist temple, the incense is so good. I just heard from other Taoist priests that Master Shu is a good Taoist and has a reputation for hundreds of miles. How can something happen?"
The old Taoist sighed deeply: "Because of this, there is no end."
The little Taoist yawned: "Who knows what will happen in the future? Master, go to bed first, I'm so sleepy..." Before he finished speaking, he fell asleep.
The old Taoist stared at the fire in the charcoal basin for a long time, frowning.
Years later, Shen Zhuo went to Guanyi Pavilion one day and met the long-lost Zhang Yunming. The two talked about the scenery in the south, Zhang Yunming suddenly said: "Oh, my sister even wrote a message to the ladies in your mansion, inviting them to come to the mansion. I brought a lot of things from the south, probably I have something to give to them. After finishing speaking, he smiled and gave Shen Zhuo two letterheads, one for Shen Xiang and one for Shen Wen. The covers were all exquisite, dotted with gold-rimmed plum blossoms, full of girlish atmosphere.
Shen Zhuo agreed, but he always felt that Zhang Yunming's smile was too kind, which made him a little uncomfortable.
When he got home, he gave two postcards to Yang, who immediately opened them without hesitation—the mother’s letters to her underage daughters have always been like this, one was from Zhang Yunjin to Shen Xiang, saying that her brother had returned from the south , there are many new gadgets, please invite the two sisters to come to the house on the first day of February. The other letter was from Miss Zhang to Shen Wen, with beautiful handwriting, saying that she received greetings from Shen Wen in the past years, and now some gifts can be given back to Shen Wen. It looks very elegant.
Yang was born in the family of a military general. Although he could read, he hadn't read many books except for the female training on filial piety, and he couldn't recognize the seal characters.
The letter was sent to Shen Wen. Shen Wen and Su Wanniang read the letter. Su Wanniang pointed to the lace and said, "This young lady asked you to meet at the end of January 26th. She is so ill. How can she see you? Why don't you want to let me see you?" Madame knows?"
Shen Wen remembered that Su Wanniang didn't know that Miss Zhang was not a woman, but Zhang Yunzheng—Second Young Master Zhang, so she told Su Wanniang in a low voice. Su Wanniang was shocked and said: "Isn't Miss Zhang a woman?! Then you wrote him a note!"
Shen Wen nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, it's still a poem you made for me, and I invited him to meet."
Su Wanniang's face turned yellow with fright: "Miss! If this falls into someone else's hands..."
Shen Wen shook the paper in his hand: "Didn't his letter also fall into our hands?"
Su Wanniang shook her head vigorously: "Miss! This is not the same thing! Oh! You went to see him last time! He is a foreigner! This time you are going to see him alone again, right?! You are only eleven years old, If Madam finds out about this..."
Shen Wenxin said that it was more than just a meeting, and quickly booed Su Wanniang to comfort Su Wanniang: "What! Didn't you hear that this letter was sent by Mr. Zhang to the third brother? It must have passed Mr. Zhang's eyes. He naturally knows this day, and must I will go. Besides, it’s not like you don’t know me? I’ve been to the imperial palace for so many years. I haven’t seen a man outside and a man inside?”
Su Wanniang clutched her chest: "Stop talking like that, I'm so terrified! If I were your mother, I'd be fucked to death! No, I'm not your mother, and I'm exhausted too!"
Shen Wen hugged Su Wanniang and giggled, and said in a low voice, "Sister Wanniang, don't worry! There are not many people in this world who can do nothing to me."
Su Wanniang sighed: "Miss, don't you really care about your reputation? You don't want to marry him in the future, do you?"
Shen Wenqie said: "What a name! That Second Young Master Zhang is a bastard! I wanted to shoot him away when I saw him! Sister Wanniang, I have to arrange a lot of things. I have to go out to meet people."
Su Wanniang nodded: That's true. Whose child is so scheming at the age of six or seven that he dares to go against the prince? She sighed helplessly, well, then treat Shen Wen as a different kind, and don't use ordinary people's standards to ask her.
But even though she convinced herself so much, on the night of January 26, when she sent Shen Wen out in black, she was still sitting beside the bed in a state of anxiety: Shen Wen went to see the Zhang family brothers alone, and this If someone finds out, how will Shen Wen marry in the future? Even if she married one of the Zhang family brothers, because of her reputation, she would not be able to be a regular wife... Su Wanniang was thinking wildly in the dark, her hair almost turned gray.
Shen Wen didn't care about this at all. She went to the desolate courtyard and climbed over the wall to enter. A row of huts were pitch-black and deserted. Shen Wen found a dark corner and stood there.
In the same late night, in Zhang Yunzheng's bedroom in Pingyuan Hou's mansion, Zhang Yunzheng was already completely dark, standing by the door and urging Zhang Yunming: "Hurry up!"
Zhang Yunming was on Zhang Yunzheng's desk, wrapping a four-layer food box with cloth to form a package, saying: "I'm not packing your dried fruit?"
Zhang Yunzheng said anxiously: "Don't talk about me! I don't want to lose face like this!"
In the end, Mrs. Li left a small handful of each kind, put them in a food box and sent them to Zhang Yunzheng. On the one hand, Zhang Yunzheng was happy that his mother liked it, but on the other hand, he said no to giving it away—how could he get it out? Zhang Yunming refused, insisted on sending it, and even volunteered that he would carry it.
Zhang Yunzheng opened the door: "If you don't leave, you won't be able to catch up with me."
Zhang Yunming hurriedly put the package on his back and said, "What's the hurry? Let her wait..." Zhang Yunzheng had already gone out.
Shen Wen only waited for a while, and two figures came jogging one after the other. In front of the hut, the person behind was carrying a package, bent over and coughed, and whispered, "Are you trying to exhaust me to death?" It sounded like Zhang Yunming.
Zhang Yunzheng in front said annoyedly: "We arrived earlier, so we can blame her for being late!"
Zhang Yunming was still gasping: "Didn't you say... you don't want to see her? Why now... murdered my brother for that little fat duck..."
Hearing Zhang Yunming attacking him, Shen Wen pushed the wooden door of the hut with his consciousness in the dark, the door creaked suddenly, Zhang Yunming immediately straightened up: "Who?!"
Shen Wen shook the window again, Zhang Yunming stepped forward, pushed open the half-covered door, and entered the house, but Zhang Yunzheng did not go in, standing outside the door looking left and right.
Shen Wen used his consciousness to push the window again, and then slammed the door again. Zhang Yunming jumped out of the room and said eagerly to Zhang Yunzheng: "This place is really haunted! We can't be here anymore!"
Shen Wen giggled and walked out of the dark place, Zhang Yunming immediately coughed: "You child, you are so naughty!"
Shen Wen imitated his tone: "You child, you are so timid!"
Zhang Yunzheng said coldly: "I'm not afraid, I knew it was you who was playing tricks!"
Shen Wen took a glance and saw that Zhang Yunzheng had obviously grown taller and darker again. He seemed more handsome and arrogant, with a stern face!
Not to be outdone, Shen Wen turned his nostrils to the sky to make up for his short stature, and made a face at him: "I didn't talk to you!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "I'm talking to an idiot!" In the past six months, he hasn't met a single person outside who he can speak freely to! Finally seeing Shen Wen again, if Zhang Yunzheng had feathers on his body, he would probably be stupefied by now.
Shen Wen knew that Zhang Yunzheng was still a bastard, and immediately countered: "That's better than you, a bastard!"
Zhang Yunming shouted: "Okay, okay! We haven't seen each other for so long, why are we still noisy like last time? It's as if we have never been separated! I'm afraid of you! Let's go in quickly."
Shen Wen also realized that it stands to reason that people should have a sense of distance after being separated for a long time, and they need to get acquainted again when they meet again. Why did Zhang Yunzheng drag the two of them into the ditch again with a single sentence? Shen Wen glanced sideways at Zhang Yunzheng, and found that he didn't look at him at all, so he didn't think about it.
The three entered the dark room, and Zhang Yunming fumbled to light the lamp. Zhang Yunming was frightened by Shen Wen just now, and now he used the light to look back and forth in the dark corner of the house, and complained: "No wonder they sell so cheap! Cheap goods are not good. ! What you buy is not what you sell, you gang of profiteers!"
Shen Wen smiled again: "Don't be a good boy if you get a good deal. Tell me quickly, how are things going in the south?"
Zhang Yunming told Shen Wen again what he told his father, and added: "We also found eleven carpenters, seven stonemasons, nine blacksmiths, and other bamboo craftsmen and masons. There are nearly forty people in total. There are people. I’m afraid of attracting attention, so I arranged for them to come to Beijing sporadically.”
Shen Wen let out a long breath: "That's great!"
Zhang Yunming asked: "What are you going to do?"
Shen Wen said: "I want to build a city where soldiers are trapped."
Zhang Yunming suddenly said: "No wonder you want a secret room, you want to draw a picture?"
Shen Wen nodded and said, "Exactly." She stood up and walked around the room a few times, and said, "Let me draw a simple diagram of the secret room for you..."
Zhang Yunming looked around and said: "Next time, there is no pen and paper now." He unloaded the package behind him, smiled and said to Shen Wen: "This is the dried fruit I brought for you."
When Shen Wen heard that it was dried fruit, he was overjoyed, just as he stretched out his hand, seeing Zhang Yunming smiling like a fox, he became vigilant, and withdrew his hand again.
Zhang Yunming smiled enthusiastically: "Come on, you're welcome! There are dried prunes, dried plums, and dried apricots in it, all of which are sweet and sour. My sister likes it very much."
Shen Wen swallowed for a while, and finally reached out to take it, put the package aside, and said, "Thank you."
Zhang Yunzheng snorted coldly.
Zhang Yunming smiled and shook his hand: "Look at what you said, what is this compared to a million taels of silver, the salary of a hired craftsman, and this house? Why do you need to say thank you?"
Shen Wen smiled and said: "I can't spend the money, and the house doesn't belong to me, but this dried fruit is for me, so thank you."
Zhang Yunming smiled and said: "Even so, you don't have to thank me." I didn't buy it for you, and before Shen Wen could pursue it further, he asked kindly, "Tell me how we can't let...that..."
Shen Wen looked at Zhang Yunming pretending to be puzzled, Zhang Yunming turned his face to look at the room, and sighed: "There are a lot of things to do, clean up the paint, reset the furniture..."
Zhang Yunzheng said loudly: "There's no need to do it! Just set up a table!"
Shen Wen chuckled: "You two brothers know how to cooperate now."
Zhang Yunming waved his hand and said: "That's natural!..." He still wanted to play around, Zhang Yunzheng couldn't wait, and interrupted: "Hurry up! How can we not let the fifth princess and Fan?!"
Shen Wen looked at Zhang Yunming, Zhang Yunming stared at Shen Wen with a smile, expressing acquiescence to Zhang Yunzheng's question
Shen Wen said to Zhang Yunming in a tone of voice: "Your sister has to marry my third brother."
Zhang Yunming immediately said: "Impossible!"
Shen Wen immediately said melancholy: "I originally wanted my lover to get married, but..."
Zhang Yunming said: "This marriage has always been decided by the parents, and I don't count!"
Shen Wen said half-thoughtfully in a sweet voice: "I know, I know, when the time comes, I will naturally have a way to make your mother consider it, but you can only say good things to match, you can't say bad things!"
Zhang Yunzheng muttered in a low voice: "Little liar!"
Zhang Yunming was still not reconciled: "I don't like the third son of your family. He is glib, like a little ruffian. He has been thinking about my sister since he was a child. He really has no manners! My sister is such a good demeanor..."
Shen Wen was unhappy, and curled his lips and said: "It's not you who married, what did you choose? My third brother is much better than your younger brother!"
Zhang Yunzheng immediately countered: "What's wrong with me?! I'm much better than you little liar!"
Shen Wen said to Zhang Yunming in the tone of Zhang Yunming just now: "I don't like your second son, he is vulgar and childish, and has no manners!"
Zhang Yunming frowned pretending to be puzzled: "What does this have to do with my brother? You're talking about my sister!"
Shen Wen sighed loudly: "I was talking about the fifth princess! If she reconciles with Fan, she will die there. Maybe she was killed or tortured to death. That Huo Luo is a vicious person …”
Zhang Yunming gritted his teeth: "Well, if my mother considers this marriage, I won't say bad things, only good things, okay?"
Shen Wen hurriedly nodded with a smile and said, "Then we've made a deal!"
Zhang Yunzheng said in disbelief, "You'd better stop bragging, tell me how you can make Huo Luo not propose marriage in the future?"
Shen Wen said: "I didn't tell Huo Luo not to mention marriage..."
"What do you mean?!" Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng said loudly at the same time, Shen Wen said with a smile: "I only said that it can make the fifth princess quarrel."
The two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, Zhang Yunzheng angrily said to Zhang Yunming: "I just said she is a little liar!"
Shen Wen pouted: "Then I won't say anything!"
Zhang Yunming sighed: "Okay, okay, aren't you a 'Little Liar'?"
Shen Wen snorted to Zhang Yunzheng, Zhang Yunzheng whispered, "That's it!"
Shen Wen also knew that he had been doing deceitful things, so he didn't bother anymore, and said to Zhang Yunming: "Whether to mention marriage is his business, but whether to marry a daughter depends on the emperor's consent. In my dream , the prince first tried to plot against the fifth princess, and persuaded the emperor to marry his daughter. My plan is harmful to others, but if the prince does not move this idea, he will not suffer from it. You agree with me to do so ?"
Zhang Yunzheng said disdainfully: "You are still so afraid, how did you succeed?"
Zhang Yunming also became serious: "Don't worry about whether you mean harm to others, you have to make sure that this plan is feasible. According to what you saw in your dream, this is a matter of life and death, and there must be no mistakes! Tell me carefully, and I will listen Is it reasonable?"
Shen Wen said: "We can only change what we can. In this matter, can we make the prince not have bad thoughts?"
Zhang Yunming shook his head: "Impossible."
Shen Wen asked again: "Can we change the emperor's mind?"
Zhang Yunming said: "That's enough! In the court, who can guarantee that he will convince the emperor?"
Shen Wen nodded and said, "Then we have to change the other party."
Zhang Yunming asked: "Bei Rong? How to change it? Let Bei Rong not ask for a He Fan girl?"
Shen Wen shook his head and said: "In the last life, it was Tugu Khan who made the request for Hefan. We can't change him. We only have one variable left: Huoluo."
Zhang Yunming frowned: "You want Huo Luo to change his mind? What was his original idea? What will he become?"
Shen Wen said: "In my dream, he had no idea. This matter is the prince's idea for him."
Zhang Yunming was surprised: "You mean, this time, you want to make up his mind for him?"
Zhang Yunzheng disagreed: "How is it possible? How could he listen to her?"
Shen Wen lowered his voice: "It's not for him to listen to me, but for him to listen to me!"
Zhang Yunming also didn't understand: "His own? What idea can he have?"
Shen Wen said: "He has a very, very vengeful temperament! In my dream, after he entered Beijing, he fought with my second brother. My second brother won, and he remembered it for six years. In the middle of the horse, he found my second brother and wanted to avenge the beating. My second brother was stabbed in the back by his guard and was already seriously injured at that time. Huo Luo took the opportunity to hack my second brother to death. He also cut off his head, and laughed with his head up, not feeling shameful at all. So..." Shen Wen pursed his lips tightly, and quickly glanced at Zhang Yunzheng. Zhang Yunzheng immediately understood, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Little liar!"
Zhang Yunming frowned in thought, then met Shen Wen's eyes and said, "You are so ruthless."
Shen Wen pouted: "Shouldn't you say: Thank you?"
Zhang Yunming thought for a while, and then said: "It's better to have real royal things. My family has luxurious ones, but they don't have those colors. If you do it fresh, it will easily attract attention."
Shen Wen said: "I will make arrangements."
Zhang Yunming asked: "You won't go to the third prince, will you?"
Shen Wen shook his head and said, "No."
Zhang Yunming nodded and said: "His temper is too honest, he probably can't do this."
Shen Wen said: "We can't tell him what we did. Oh, you went to Guanyi Pavilion to watch these days, and sent a letter to the fourth prince, asking him to tell you when he can be there."
Zhang Yunming said meaningfully: "You want to ask him for help. We will meet here in ten days, and I will tell you when you can see him."
Shen Wen wanted to open the package, but Zhang Yunming stopped her and said, "Don't open it here, take it back and eat."
Shen Wen was a little worried: "We don't have these food boxes in our house..."
Zhang Yunzheng said sarcastically, "Don't you just hide under the quilt?"
Shen Wen stared, Zhang Yunming hurriedly said: "You really don't know his kindness, he is thinking of you, so you can lie in bed at night and secretly eat this and that? It's so beautiful."
Shen Wen said to Zhang Yunming: "Stop embellishing and saying weird things here!"
Zhang Yunzheng said to Zhang Yunming: "Listen, she knows how to eat! Her mind is full of oil and jealousy."
Shen Wen thought that he could give some of these dried fruits to Su Wanniang, so he quickly tied the package behind his back. Taking something from someone else, Shen Wen decided not to fuss too much with Zhang Yunzheng, and said to Zhang Yunming with a smirk, "Thank you very much. Not only because of the dried fruit, but also for other things. You...you have been of great help."
Zhang Yunzheng said in a low voice: "Prudish!"
Shen Wen failed again, and bared his teeth at Zhang Yunzheng: "You are still the same as before when you come back, you haven't grown up at all!"
Zhang Yunzheng slightly raised his chin and squinted his eyes to look at Shen Wen: "But I think you are different from before."
Shen Wen was taken aback, then blinked: "Of course, I have grown up! Sister Wanniang also said that I am more than an inch taller..."
Zhang Yunzheng sneered: "But why do I think you are more stupid than before? You have gained a lot of weight!"
Shen Wen stomped his feet, "You are still that little bastard!" He went out and ran away.
Guessing that Shen Wen was far away, Zhang Yunming sighed deeply and said, "What a cruel heart!"
Zhang Yunzheng snorted—he knew Shen Wen's background, so it wasn't surprising at all.
Zhang Yunming sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "Stay away from that girl! She's too smart, you can't beat her."
Zhang Yunzheng said unconvinced: "Who said that? I'm fighting her! She's a little liar!" If she doesn't have thousands of years of knowledge, she's just an idiot who will let her husband strangle her to death!
Zhang Yunming said: "If you don't listen to me, don't come to me and cry if you suffer a loss in the future!"
Zhang Yunzheng said angrily, "Who ever went to your place to cry?!"
Zhang Yunming clicked his tongue: "How did you forget? When you were three years old..."
Zhang Yunzheng punched it away: "You're making it up!" Zhang Yunming quickly dodged, jumped outside from the half-covered door, and whispered: "Don't startle others."
Zhang Yunzheng blew on the lamp and went out, the two of them went to Pingyuanhou's mansion one after the other.
