In fact, Li Huan was very different from ordinary people in both appearance and temperament, especially the majestic and powerful demeanor that inadvertently flowed out of him. Su felt that she also saw it in her late grandfather Zhang Mao.

Pass.

As for his father-in-law, even though he inherited the title of Duke of England, he did not have any substantial authority in his hands. Compared with Li Huan, a prominent official who had great power and could live and kill at his own discretion, he was obviously weaker.

So when Mrs. Su looked at Li Huan's figure, her eyes were filled with brilliance. She felt that her grandfather really had a keen eye. If he could really recruit Li Huan to be the son-in-law of their British prince, he would definitely do it.

It will be of great help to them and the British government.

Even though the British government seems to be decorated with flowers and burning oil, Su Shi has kept a clear head and has not been confused by the current appearance.

The death of the British Duke Zhang Mao can be said to have pushed the momentum of the British Duke's government to its peak. Whether it was the emperor who proclaimed Zhang Mao the King of Ningyang and was buried with the royal treatment or the many important civil and military ministers who came to express their condolences today, it seemed that it was clear

Showing the great power of their British government.

It’s just that all of this is obviously the last shadow of Zhang Mao. There is a saying that people leave when the tea is cool. After Zhang Mao died, he expected Zhang Lun to support the British government. To be honest, Su Shi really had no confidence in her husband.

.

Su Shi had already remembered Zhang Lun's inadvertent mention of Zhang Mao's intention to bring Li Huan and Zhang Jin together.

However, Mrs. Su had never met Li Huan in her inner house, and most of what she knew about Li Huan was heard from her servants.

Thanks to the civil servants in Beijing, one can imagine what kind of reputation Li Huan would have in Beijing.

It is a good thing to say that Li Huan is narrow-minded, kills like crazy, and does not wait for revenge. Many people even directly compare Li Huan to the big devil who eats people's hearts raw and grills their flesh over charcoal.

The Su family was not like most people, but after hearing so many rumors about Li Huan, she naturally secretly guessed what kind of person Li Huan was.

Now after actually meeting Li Huan, although it was only a distant glance, Su Shi's perception of Li Huan has changed drastically. This fierce god who is one foot tall and as strong as an ox is completely different from a handsome young man.

, and my little aunt, who is as cold as a fairy, are really a good match.

Su made up her mind, even if it was for the sake of her family's future, she would urge her husband-in-law. An outstanding person like Li Huan must take action early. Maybe someone would already be targeting Li Huan.

Huan. Otherwise, if we miss it, it will be a huge loss to the British government.

These thoughts flashed through my mind, and I glanced at Zhang Jin who was sitting there and sobbing softly. He sighed softly, raised his eyebrows, moved his body slightly, knelt down next to Zhang Jin, and whispered: "Aunt Jin, what are you doing?

Look at that man!”

Zhang Jin was immersed in sadness and did not pay attention to external matters.

In this British palace, there were only a few people who really cared for her, and the one who cared for her the most was Zhang Mao. Now that Zhang Mao has passed away, Zhang Jin is devastated. Even though he has been practicing Taoism for many years, facing the state of mind

When someone close to you dies, it is difficult to suppress the grief in your heart.

At this moment, Su's voice came to her ears. Zhang Jin slowly raised his head. Suddenly, a cold and refined face appeared in front of Su. There were crystal tears hanging on that delicate face. It was really a pear blossom.

When I saw the rain, I felt pity for him. Even a woman from the Su family couldn't help but be amazed when she saw it.

Seeing the puzzlement in Zhang Jin's eyes, Mrs. Su whispered: "Aunt Jin, what do you think of that person?"

Zhang Jin didn't know what Su meant. Hearing this, he subconsciously looked in the direction Su pointed.

His cold eyes swept over Li Huan, who was burning incense in the mourning hall to express his condolences to Zhang Mao. His eyes were indifferent. He only felt that the other person gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

A trace of doubt flashed in his heart, and finally he looked at Su, slowly shook his head and said, "Who is this person? Is there something wrong?"

Not long ago, Li Huan and Zhang Jin met once, but it was midnight, and Li Huan was in a hurry to return from the dusty land of Fujian, thousands of miles away. He was unkempt and looked quite embarrassed.

Therefore, compared with his current appearance, Li Huan's appearance before was completely the same as two people. Not to mention that Zhang Jin only met Li Huan once, but it would be difficult to really remember Li Huan's appearance at that time.

Match up with the current Li Huan.

Therefore, Zhang Jin didn't know who Li Huan was at all, but she could also see that he was qualified to enter the mourning hall to express condolences to her father. Even her nephew who inherited the title respectfully accompanied him.

It can be guessed that the other party is definitely not an ordinary person, I am afraid that he has an extraordinary origin.

When Su heard this, she just smiled and didn't say anything else. After all, she just wanted Zhang Jin to take a look at Li Huan.

In this way, Zhang Jin has some impression of Li Huan. If there is really hope for getting married in the future, it wouldn't be considered a blind marriage, right?

In the mourning hall here, Li Huan solemnly offered incense and candles to Zhang Mao's memorial tablet and paid homage seriously.

Suddenly, he felt a gaze sweeping over him. With Li Huan's keen five senses, he looked up almost instinctively.

Following that gaze, he happened to see many female family members kneeling and crying in the inner room, wearing sackcloth and wearing mourning. The gaze that swept over him was gone immediately. Even if he reacted very quickly, he only had time to see a pair of clear eyes.

The spirit is clear, and the red and swollen eyes can be seen, and at a glance, it is just a slim figure wearing mourning clothes.

They were the female members of the inner chamber, and Li Huan just glanced at them while offering incense. If he hadn't felt someone looking at him, Li Huan would not have looked at the female members of the inner chamber in such an environment.

If someone finds out, they will probably be scolded behind their back for not being polite.

On the long street in front of the British Duke's Palace, there are like a forest of horse-drawn carriages. Officials who came to pay homage to the British Duke are coming and going, coming in and out. This scene alone makes people marvel.

On the long street, an extremely luxurious carriage was driving slowly. There was a small flag on the carriage with a word embroidered on it.

If anyone knows this small flag with embroidered characters, they will definitely be amazed by it. This stunning and luxurious-looking carriage is the vehicle of Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning.

At this time, in this carriage, two brothers, Shouning Hou Zhang Heling and Jianchang Hou Zhang Yanling, were sitting in it.

The two brothers each held a pretty woman in their arms. Their big hands disappeared under the woman's clothes, and a faint voice could be heard from the carriage.

Fortunately, the carriage is big enough, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to accommodate four people.

At this time, Zhang Yanling said to Zhang Heling with a bit of schadenfreude: "Brother, now that old guy Zhang Mao is dead, the British government is counting on Zhang Lun, let's see how arrogant they can be."

Zhang Heling smiled slightly and said: "That's natural. In ordinary times, that old guy Zhang Mao dares to look down on our brothers just because he is a veteran of several dynasties and is senior enough. If it weren't for several generations of emperors and our

My brother-in-law is too doting on the British government. I really think that an old guy like him can be so prosperous."

Zhang Yanling nodded in succession and said, "Yes, yes, my group has been deprived of any power by those civil servants. Each one of them has become an empty frame. They dare to look down on our brothers. This time, this old guy will die. Otherwise,

If so, just because he didn't take good care of the Beijing camp for our nephew, and let that bastard Changxing Hou lead an army to rebel is enough for him, Zhang Mao, to drink a pot."

Zhang Heling snorted coldly and said: "Our eldest nephew, the emperor, is really too generous and kind. Why should he be so considerate to an old guy like Zhang Mao who neglected his duties and almost killed him? If you ask me,

Even if they don’t lose their British title, we still have to teach them a lesson.”

As he spoke, Zhang Heling said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "He even posthumously named the old man King Ningyang, and promised to be buried with a grand royal title. His British Duke's palace is really very beautiful right now."

Zhang Yanling said: "If my sister hadn't sent someone to inform us this time and asked us to go to express our condolences to the old guy, I wouldn't have gone because of his usual arrogance in looking down on our brothers."

Zhang Heling glanced at Zhang Yanling and said: "Okay, since sister asked us to go, let's go. We go there to give them face for the British government. If Zhang Lun doesn't come to welcome us in person, we really won't go in.

Already."

Zhang Mao, Zhu Fu and others were among the nobles, while Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling were obviously relatives. In the Ming Dynasty, relatives had almost no sense of existence and had no real power. It can be said that there is almost no difference between them and the nobles.

Ordinarily, two groups of people with the same fate would choose to stick together for warmth, but a pair of brothers like Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling are really too weird.

The things he had done were simply challenging the bottom line of the dynasty's laws. Among the many relatives of the Ming Dynasty, he was unique in his poor conduct.

It is conceivable that it would be strange for such a pair of brothers and relatives, with Zhang Mao's arrogant temperament, to be able to like Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling.

At first, brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling listened to the Queen Mother's instructions and hoped to get closer to the Xungui Group.

At the beginning, the Xungui Group didn't know what the nature of these two brothers was. For the sake of Zhang, who was the queen at the time, the Xungui Group didn't reject them, and the relationship between the two parties was more or less harmonious.

However, who could have imagined that this pair of brothers could do such a ridiculous thing in the palace, in broad daylight, and openly rape a palace maid.

It can be said that since then, the Xungui Group headed by Zhang Mao has completely seen what these brothers are, and they have stayed away from them, and no longer dare to interact with them, for fear that one day they will be betrayed by these brothers.

A pair of weird brothers were tricked to death without even knowing it.

That is to say, from that time on, the two sides started to have bad blood. When they met on weekdays, they would always hate each other. One of them couldn't look down on the other's aloofness, and the other couldn't look down on the other's arrogance. That's what the relationship was called.

A difference.

Just as Zhang Yanling said, if Empress Dowager Zhang hadn't personally given them an order this time to express condolences to Zhang Mao, their brothers would really not have gone to the British government to join in the fun.

Zhang Mao died, and if they didn't applaud him, that would be a loss to the British government. They wanted them to express their condolences, so don't even think about it.

At this time, Zhang Heling said to the outside of the carriage: "Feng Da, how far is it from the British government? Why don't you drive the carriage faster?"

At this moment, Zhang Heling just wanted to follow the instructions of the Queen Mother Zhang and go to the British Duke's Mansion to offer condolences and then return to the mansion.

Wouldn't it be better to play crickets in the house or play some interesting games with the beauty?

Outside the carriage, Feng Da, who was driving the carriage, could be heard saying: "Master Marquis, it's not that I don't drive the carriage faster. It's actually that there are so many people coming and going on this road, and there are too many carriages, especially as the distance from the British government is getting closer and closer."

The closer we get, the more carriages will come and go, and it won’t be able to go any faster at all.”

Hearing what Feng Da said, Zhang Heling couldn't help but lift the car curtain and look outside.

At first glance, Zhang Heling couldn't help but widen his eyes. He saw that the streets on both sides were covered with white flags, and carriages that looked like the homes of powerful people were passing by. An atmosphere of depression and sadness rushed towards him.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Heling's face was full of astonishment, and Zhang Yanling noticed his brother's expression and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Zhang Heling took a deep breath and said: "Come and take a look, this British government is really a big deal. They have hung up a whole street with white flags."

Hearing what Zhang Heling said, Zhang Yanling also came over and looked outside. When he looked at the situation outside, he also showed a look of astonishment.

Then Zhang Yanling said angrily: "When our father died, our family's funeral was not so grand. The British government was really grand."

While he was talking, the carriage had already approached the British Duke's Palace. At this moment, several servants of the British Duke's Palace blocked the long street in front.

With a creak, the carriage stopped. Zhang Heling saw that it was still some distance away from the British Duke's mansion, but Feng Da actually stopped.

Zhang Heling couldn't help but cursed angrily: "Feng Da, what are you doing for food? Why did you stop here? Do you want Mr. Hou and me to walk there?"

Among the British public servants who were blocking the carriage at this time, a steward hurriedly accompanied him and said: "Sir, it's not that we specially want to block your carriage. In fact, it is because my father-in-law did not want to cause a long street.

There is a congestion, and I would like to ask you all to park the carriage nearby, otherwise, if everyone rushes to the gate of the mansion, I am afraid that the gate of the British Duke's mansion will be blocked."

Many carriages and sedans were parked nearby, and many even far away had stopped. Instead, they got off the sedans or carriages and walked slowly towards the gate of the mansion.

Just as the steward of the British Palace said, if so many carriages were parked at the gate of the British Palace, the gate would definitely be blocked.

The two brothers, who were not very happy to come, couldn't help but feel unhappy after hearing the steward's words. They immediately opened the curtain and shouted at the steward: "Why, how noble we brothers are, we should be like other people.

Walk to your British mansion?"

The steward who could be assigned to take charge of this matter was obviously a well-informed and flexible person. He recognized Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling as soon as he saw the sign on the carriage and the two brothers sitting in it.

As for the names of the two men, they, the stewards of the distinguished family, knew something about them, so they naturally knew that such a pair of brothers were very difficult to get along with.

Then he saw the steward accompanying him and said with a smile: "It turns out it's the two marquises. The younger one has eyesight but doesn't know Mount Tai, so he didn't know that the two marquises were coming. You think otherwise, you can drive the carriage to the door of the house.

But when the two marquises arrive, please drive the carriage back temporarily and don't block the gate."
