Xiaobei was not very interested in going to the Zhang Mansion. After all, Zhang Juzheng and Hu Zongxian are not friends who appreciate each other, but political enemies. In addition, she doesn't want others to see through her dressed as a man, so she will cause any trouble for Wang Fulin. So she just found an excuse and fleeed him first.

Zhang Jingxiu didn't care much about this. His attention was all focused on Wang Fulin from beginning to end. He only thought that Xiaobei was Wang Fulin's friend. As for those two followers, if Wang Fulin had not ended today, they really didn't know how the eldest young master who lost the jade pendant would be blamed and what punishment they would be punished. So, even if Wang Fulin himself had met Zhang Juzheng, even if he was an irrelevant outsider, the young master would not stop him. Therefore, Xiaobei, who was bluffing the crowd with the military and horses of the South City, was about to leave, so how could they say anything randomly?

When Zhang Jingxiu returned home, he did not walk through the front door of Zhang's mansion, which was crowded with people, but took Wang Fulin to the side door. After entering the door, he did not forget to explain: "In the past, someone was waiting here specifically. Later, my father said that if anyone dared to spy on the side door and back door of the house, let the censor directly follow the book. Finally, the rules were established, and it would be much more purified here, otherwise it would be inconvenient for the family to enter and exit. Of course, my brothers usually have a tight homework and don't go out too much. If I hadn't gone to the Huguang Guild Hall to meet a few Jiangling Mansion Juren who had been friends with the Zhang family today, I wouldn't have gone to the outer city, let alone went to the Renmin City on a whim."

Only then did Wang Fulin realize that Zhang Jingxiu was visiting friends today like him, but as he visited, he actually went to the market. To be honest, it was indeed a coincidence. The second time he visited this prime minister's residence, which was not the prime minister's life and death, was because he was not seeing Zhang Juzheng. He felt much more relaxed. As he walked in, he had more time to appreciate the buildings and flowers and trees. He also looked at the servants from time to time.

Perhaps Zhang Jingxiu rarely brings people back. Although the servants Wang Fulin met along the way were well-trained, many of them would look curious. The path he took this time was different from the previous time he went to Zhang Juzheng's study. It was Zhangfu West Road, so most of the servants he met didn't know him, especially when he saw Zhang Jingxiu bring him straight to the courtyard where several other young masters were studying inside, which attracted more attention. The two entourages stopped very consciously when they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, while Zhang Jingxiu enthusiastically took Wang Fulin to the east wing. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Second brother and third brother, I'll bring back the person you want to meet!"

Wang Fulin only saw two desks in the house, one south and one north. He was wondering that even if the Zhang family had many sons, after Zhang Juzheng became the chief minister, the emperor of the house personally repaired and expanded, so he would not be so nervous that he needed two brothers to use it together. The next moment, he saw the young man behind the desk in the north drop the book in his hand and came forward helplessly.

"Brother, don't be stupid, okay? If you bring customers, you should introduce them first. What do we mean by the person we want to meet?" He said, smiling and bowing. "Zhang Maoxiu has seen this young master. My elder brother sometimes has this kind of temperament. Please don't be surprised."

"The third brother is right. Brother, you are not as good as you treat guests like this, and you don't say hello to us first. Zhang Sixiu has met Mr. Wang."

This time, Zhang Jingxiu was surprised: "I haven't introduced the guest yet, how did you know, second brother?" But with this expression, Zhang Maoxiu suddenly realized and patted his forehead gently.

"You said that it was the person we wanted to meet, and he was at this age. Didn't my father mention Wang Fulin and Mr. Wang whom we mentioned to my mother and Mr. Wang after meeting the guests that day?" Zhang Sixiu raised his eyebrows. Then he looked at Wang Fulin with a little scrutiny and asked, "I don't know how Mr. Wang met his elder brother?"

At the first glance, Wang Fulin felt that Zhang Jingxiu was a little nerdy, Zhang Maoxiu was simple and free, while Zhang Sixiu seemed clever and sleek. At this moment, before he could answer, Zhang Jingxiu immediately stole the conversation: "That's just a trivial matter, Brother Wang, are you right?"

Seeing Zhang Jingxiu blinking at him twice, he clearly didn't want his two younger brothers to know about the ugly things today, and of course Wang Fulin would not expose him, so he said lightly: "Well, it's just a chance encounter in the outer city. After Brother Zhang learned who I was, he forced me to the Zhang Mansion. I am still confused."

Although Wang Fulin missed the cause and effect, seeing Zhang Jingxiu's smile and tone that obviously wanted to avoid the importance, Zhang Sixiu and Zhang Maoxiu knew it and let it go temporarily. There were two rooms in the east wing. Usually, the two brothers reviewed their own courses and would not disturb each other. However, because this place has never been a place to entertain guests, the extra two people seemed cramped, and there were no chairs to entertain guests. At this time, Zhang Maoxiu said, "Brother, go to your place, your place is big enough, and you will also say to your fourth and fifth brothers, so that they can come out to meet guests together, so that they will not say they can be lazy but not bring them with them."

When Wang Fulin came to the main room, he found that the place was indeed spacious, with seven or eight seat cushions placed on the high horizon. Just like the design of the living room, he could sit casually and politely. When the fourth and fifth sons of the Zhang family came over together, one in his early 10 years old and the other was only a * year old. The room was filled with people, which made Wang Fulin, the only son in the family, understand what it means to be lively.

In the midst of the messy questions, he was already in a relaxed mood and even more forgot that the people around him were the princes of the prime minister and chatted and laughed freely. Speaking of the experiences of traveling around him, the magnificent mountains and rivers and the magnificent buildings, it attracted a burst of surprises around him.

Scholars of his age are definitely rare to have this kind of experience in traveling around the world. Even if the Zhang brothers left Beijing, they would take a boat from the canal to Nanjing, and then take a boat from the Yangtze River to visit relatives. They were not allowed to walk around, not to stop anywhere, let alone visit famous places. Zhang Jingxiu even made it clear that his father and mother were strictly controlled by other officials, and they were even strictly prohibited from contacting any foreign official, for fear that those with ulterior motives would ruin them. Although Zhang Sixiu had some complaints about his elder brother, he was relieved when he saw that Wang Fulin was quite applauding such a precaution for the prevention of trouble.

Wang Fulin even met their father Zhang Juzheng, and he won good reviews. Why waste time with the young masters of the Zhang family who would never affect their father's behavior and appearance?

He only talks about customs, geography and human feelings. He does not talk about the various officialdoms, nor does he mention poetry and songs. This is the purpose set by Wang Fulin for himself to come to Zhang’s mansion today. Today, he did not expect anything else, so he was happy to have such interactions easier. When he talked about Tianmu Mountain. Zhang Maoxiu opened his mouth to recite Li Bai’s poem about traveling to Tianmu’s song to leave, and he felt that the famous places in ancient poets’ mouths are now unknown. When talking about Xuanwu Lake, Zhang Jingxiu sighed about the golden land of the Six Dynasties and the magnificence of the Jinling Imperial City; when talking about Hangzhou, the two youngest children all envied him for being able to sail on the West Lake and visit Su Xiaoxiao’s tomb...

Anyway, as Wang Fulin mentioned more and more place names, the three older brothers were still able to control themselves, but the two youngest sons of the Zhang family were all shiny, and they almost begged Wang Fulin to take them out to see each other.

During this period, a book boy came in to serve tea and delivered snacks, but he was tactful and did not stay in the house. As for whether anyone outside the door and window were listening to the corner, Wang Fulin didn't know. Suddenly, Zhang Jingxiu couldn't help asking: "Brother Wang, I heard that you are only eighteen years old after the New Year, why have you been to so many places?"

"This... is actually a bit complicated."

Wang Fulin was not afraid of any family scandals that should not be made public. He only thought about the unreliable things that his son said to his father as his son. Will it make people feel that his son would not hide his father's uglyness? Seeing that Zhang Sixiu was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, he briefly introduced the background of his family's debt and his father who had gone to Huguang to sell salt for many years. When he heard that he had first gone to Hangzhou to sell grain, the five listeners stared at the eldest, and the youngest Zhang Yunxiu even turned his fingers and shouted in surprise: "Brother Wang, you went to Hangzhou more than two years ago. At that time, weren't you fifteen?"

"Uh, there's no way. At that time, my family was poor. The production of more than 100 acres of land was limited. Although my uncle didn't mention the debt, it could not be regarded as non-existent, right? In order to lead the family, my two sisters even made beads to make jewelry... Children from poor families were already in the family." Wang Fulin used this old saying seriously. He thought that if I was really fourteen, I would have been cheated by that father long ago!

This sentence immediately aroused a strong resonance between Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu. Zhang Maoxiu nodded and said solemnly: "My father was a little cold and studied continuously, so he has today. We cannot forget the root of the matter because of wealth."

Zhang Jingxiu even looked at his gauze robe and said with shame: "If I hadn't been wearing such a precious gauze robe today, I might not have encountered the mother and son who acted in blackmail. After all, they were all caused by the ignorance of the world..." Before he finished speaking, he saw four younger brothers looking at him with very strange eyes, and Wang Fulin looked angry and funny. He immediately woke up and said in embarrassment that he had missed his mouth. He couldn't help but coughed awkwardly, "I don't want to hide it from you, it's really not a glorious experience..."

Under the joint "coercion and temptation" between Zhang Maoxiu and Zhang Sixiu, Zhang Jingxiu had no choice but to tell her experience of being almost cheated and stolen today. Now, the four brothers who were also born and raised by wealth could not help but feel scared. Even Zhang Sixiu, the most agile, asked himself, he did not feel that if he encountered such a cheating guy, he would be spared. For a moment, everyone looked at Wang Fulin and couldn't help but admire him. Zhang Jingxiu even repeated the reminder that Wang Fulin advised him to leave quickly, but in the end he couldn't help asking: "At that time, can't the government really be in charge?"

"There are many people who cheat in the market. If the five cities, military personnel, or the two counties of Wanping and Daxing, and Shuntian Prefecture do their best, the prison cells and the staff rooms will not be blocked at all." Wang Fulin thought about it and decided to come up with a reason that was not easy to attract too much attention from these young masters Zhang. Sure enough, Zhang Jingxiu immediately became depressed. But at this moment, Zhang Maoxiu suddenly asked another irrelevant question.

"Brother Wang, I heard that your uncle, Mr. Wang, has a Chinese class at home today, why didn't you go?"

As soon as these words came out, the five young masters Zhang who had just seen Wang Fulin talk loudly saw this person's face froze. Then they saw Wang Fulin coughing, and then said seriously: "Actually, I don't like to recite poems and essays with others, and then I politely rejected my uncle's kindness and sneaked to the outer city to relax. Of course, the real reason is that I was actually Jiang Lang's talent and could not hide."

We are honest people to tell the truth!

As soon as he finished speaking, an uncontrollable laughter came from outside the door.
