Chapter 49: Feelings

A beggar exchanged copper coins with a green banknote in the scribe's hand. He started to shout. When the others wanted to continue to find a change, they saw that the scribe disappeared from the crowd just now.

Everyone was disappointed and heard the rich slaves under the eaves shouting that they could exchange copper coins for them when they were going to the money shop. Then they were happy again. At this time, they believed in the value of this green paper a little more.

Xue Chongxun also noticed the riot. He looked around for a while and still didn't find anyone. He thought to himself that the money method had just been prepared and the treasury banknotes had not been officially issued yet, so the people who exchanged the money must be paying attention to this matter.

After he thought about it, he became curious about the man.

At this moment, someone muttered to chant a poem not far away. Xue Chongxun looked back and saw the back of the person who recited the poem, which looked like the scholar who exchanged money just now.

The man was standing at the corner under the eaves of the City God Temple, reciting the poem: The orchid leaves are lush in spring, and the osmanthus is bright in autumn.This business is a festival for you.Who knew that those living in the forest would be happy to hear the wind.If plants and trees have their true hearts, why do you want to break a beauty?

Xue Chongxun can understand this kind of emotion of talent but not being met and self-admiration... But he thinks that there are many people who are not met with talent, and how many people are truly talented?

Xue Chongxun felt this poem in his memory. After all, he couldn't remember most of the poems in Tang Dynasty. However, it sounded good to have a catchy poem, so he wanted to go up and chat with him.

Unexpectedly, when he saw the literati's side face, he suddenly felt very familiar. After thinking for a long time, he flashed with inspiration: Isn't this Zhang Jiuling!

Two years ago, when Xue Chongxun went east to Luoyang to manage the grain transport, he had contact with Zhang Jiuling on a grain transport ship on the Yellow River. In addition, he also met twice in Chang'an because Zhang Jiuling was the second Jinshi at that time and served as a Beijing official for a short time.

No wonder Xue Chongxun looked familiar and finally remembered that it was him.

If Zhang Jiuling was not very famous in history books, but just because he was a good imperial examination and a little famous in the literary class, Xue Chongxun might not remember him.

But he is Zhang Jiuling, so he naturally attracts Xue Chongxun’s attention every time he meets.

Zhang Jiuling looked a little lonely at this time. It is no wonder that such a person is in this situation now. This person has a reputation as a child prodigy since he was a child, and his pride cannot be treated with an ordinary attitude, just like a story about him: According to legend, Zhang Jiuling's mother, Lu, was pregnant for ten months in Shixing and had not yet given birth.

His father saw that his wife was thick and had a weak face, and he was suspected to have yellow and swollen.

One day, I met an old man who was a doctor and fortune teller. After diagnosis, the old man told Zhang Jiuling's father that the fetus in his abdomen was an extraordinary person. Because this place was too small, it was impossible to accommodate him and he might have to be born in a large place.

After hearing what the gentleman said, the Zhang family had to move to Shaozhou, where Zhang Jiuling was said to be born.

Xue Chongxun, a famous minister who has been famous for more than a thousand years, has a different vision. He walked forward and his opening remark seemed a little unwise: A "Three Rivers Fu", where can I find a soulmate in the world?

After saying this, Xue Chongxun felt very happy.

At this time, Zhang Jiuling turned around, looked at Xue Chongxun seriously, and suddenly said: Xue Lang!Loss of respect.

After saying that, he looked at Meng Xiaoyu next to him and couldn't tell what the young lady was. Meng Xiaoyu's dress was very elegant and didn't have much dusty smell. Her oval face was also very soft and pure. She couldn't tell that she was a singing girl.

Zhang Jiuling then gently clasped his fists and bowed his hand.

Meng Xiaoyu smiled back, "Is your friend?"

Xue Chongxun said: This is Zhang Zishou, who was the second most talented and Jinshi Ah, who was a Jinshi with his amazing talent a few years ago.

Zhang Jiuling hurriedly replied modestly: Xue Lang has been awarded too much.

I heard that Zishou resigned from office and returned to his hometown to do good deeds in building roads and bridges. I didn’t expect to meet him here. When did he come to Beijing?Xue Chongxun smiled.

Because of Li Longji, Zhang Jiuling's career was more difficult than in history and suffered some setbacks...

At the age of 30, he was promoted to the second Jinshi and was appointed as the proofreader. Two years later, Li Long was awarded a bachelor of arts based in the Eastern Palace. He was also ranked among the top and was appointed as the Left Shou Yi.

Because of this resume, he was marked as a princeling. Later, Li Longji fell, he must have been excluded by his colleagues.

Zhang Jiuling was demoted to the local area because of this. His pride made him angry and simply turned away from becoming an official.

But Zhang Jiuling was only over thirty years old, and he was in his great years of pursuing his career. Even if he was idle at home, he was not idle.

In addition, as a descendant of Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty, the Zhang family was a prominent family in the local area, and he had the strength to rely on his family's strength to open a new road in Dayuling and communicate with the north-south land transportation trunk line.

This adds another good reputation.

This incident has spread to Chang'an, and Xue Chongxun has heard of it. He understands in his heart: Zhang Jiuling has not given up on his career and has been preparing to make a comeback, otherwise he would not have spent so much effort to manage his fame.

At this time, Zhang Jiuling said: I have experienced traveling in the early this year. I have come to the capital and see my good brother Zhang Wulang.By the way, Goro was waiting in the restaurant, afraid that he would have waited too long.If Xue Lang has free time, how about we drink a few glasses of wine together?

It is better to obey your orders than to be respectful.Xue Chongxun agreed without hesitation.

What is he unwilling to do?

In fact, I really want to win over Zhang Jiuling: In his opinion, the reputation and talent of famous officials in history are second to him. The most reliable thing is that Zhang Jiuling is very famous in Shilin...

Just like the Sima family in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, they wanted to win over the seven sages of the bamboo forest. Do those guys who had nothing to do to catch lice and play with really have so many talented people in governing the country?

The Sima family is just about the storefront and reputation.

Now it seems that Zhang Jiuling also has the intention to get closer. He is really willing to fight and be beaten and Xue Chongxun is in a good mood.

Why did Zhang Jiuling go to the capital to find Zhang Wulang?

Xue Chongxun could understand the relationship with his toes: Zhang Wulang was his hardcore, one of the veteran generals of the Flying Tiger Regiment, and his relationship with Zhang Jiuling was of the same clan and clan. He knew everything about it.

Two years ago, Zhang Jiuling did not find his clan brother Zhang Wulang. The reason should be that the situation at that time was still unclear, and he was still more concerned about his reputation; now it is different. The Taiping family has been in control of the government for several years, and it is impossible to have an opportunity to make progress without moving closer to this side.

The few people hit it off and went to the nearby tavern to find Zhang Wulang.

When we met Zhang Wulang, we all exchanged greetings for a while.

After Zhang Wulang stepped down as General of Shence Army and asked Yin Ci to take over, he only held the position of General of the Right Jinwu Guard in Chang'an, and then he received his wife Cai, who had not been born for a long time. He usually had relatively free time...

What made him a little regretful was that his wife gave birth to a daughter for the first time.

I saw Zhang Wulang wearing a silk robe, just like a rich man. Xue Chongxun couldn't help but joke: The tiger is going down the mountain, don't let the minions be dull.

Zhang Wulang laughed: His eating skills have not fallen short, but Xue Lang has become much weaker. Let’s gesture again and see who is unfamiliar?

Are you sending a letter to me?Xue Chongxun turned his head to look at Zhang Jiuling with a smile. Zishou is his brother. Let’s testify. We will have to set a lottery at that time.

Zhang Jiuling smiled and said with a steady look: A gentleman is as good as a word.

At this time, a few laughing fans came to the restaurant. Xue Chongxun was very excited and was about to call him to play and sing two songs to drink, but Meng Xiaoyu said: Why should you spend that money when you want to listen to the song? Isn’t it good?

After saying this, the Zhang brothers suddenly realized that the little girl who followed Xue Chongxun was a domestic singing girl, and their faces suddenly showed unexpected expressions.

Xue Chongxun was stunned and said: Then, you can sing a song.Meng Xiaoyu stood up with a smile and bowed: What song do you want to listen to?

Zhang Jiuling said: The long and short sentence called "Qingyu Case" is well written, so what do you think of that song?

Success, that song is the best!Goro looked particularly happy.

The followers standing beside him naturally found it difficult to understand why Zhang Wulang was inexplicably happy, but Xue Chongxun understood very well: although he copied the word "Flowering Thousands of Flowers at Night in the East Wind at Night, it was at least published from Xue Chongxun; Zhang Jiuling calmly pointed this word, obviously taking the opportunity to praise Xue Chongxun.

The same is true for famous scholars to praise people without any trace. There is no sense of flattery at all, but it can be quite useful.

Zhang Wulang is of course very happy that his brothers are closer to one camp and will be able to have more people in the future!

The east wind blooms thousands of flowers at night.It blows down even more, and the stars are like rain.BMW car carts are full of fragrance.The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance overnight...

The cups and cups were intertwined, and the guests were filled with guests in the lively restaurant. Meng Xiaoyu quickly attracted the attention of the people around her. After the song, the drinkers started to cheer.

Meng Xiaoyu was once a famous actor in brothels. She started learning musical instruments since she was a few years old. Her level was naturally a few streets higher than that of amateur singers in the restaurants. For a moment, everyone felt that other singers were not singing well.

Soon the waiter came over and said: The people at the table over there wanted to ask the young lady to come over and help. Can the customer sell their face?... Of course, they won't be stingy.

Xue Chongxun said in a harsh tone: This is our family, I won’t borrow it.

The drinking man there might have heard his words. A young man slapped the table and stood up, pointed at him angrily and said: If you don’t eat toast, you should not ask about our name?

The waiter also helped and whispered: They are quite famous, and even if they don’t want to make friends, they don’t have to provoke them.

Xue Chongxun looked back and smiled and said: It’s quite a bit of a small background!

Zhang Wulang was not as reserved as usual after drinking, and immediately laughed and leaned back and forth...

It does sound a bit arrogant.

The boy who stood up at the next table suddenly turned red, and he left his seat in anger and strode over to stare at Zhang Wulang and said coldly: What's so funny?

Don't blame me, this little brother. I suddenly couldn't help but want to laugh. Isn't it illegal to smile in the wine shop?Zhang Wulang said happily.
