The Young Emperor and the Fearless

Chang Ning spent such a large amount of money, it's not because he was idle and looking for trouble.He has two purposes. One is to sell favors to Zhang's family. Chang Chao's involvement in the children's affairs has not yet been completed. He heard that the person who came to arrest him is coming soon.

The second is to find out the attitude of the DPRK and China on this matter from the mouth of the prefect.Chang Ning couldn't ask clearly, because if the prefect knew about Chang Chao, he would definitely not let Chang Chao go, and maybe he would be arrested.

In addition, there is another reason - the township examination, which is held every three years, was just conducted the month before last, and the results will be released in two days.Chang Yue and his family took part in the provincial examination. Chang Ning got a piece of news.

Chang Ning didn't care much about Chang Yue at first, but when he heard that he was being compared to others, he felt furious. This son, who had delicious food and drink, was no better than a servant who worked day and night at home. Where is Chang Ning's face?

Chang Ning called Chang Yue into the room, and after scolding him, he came up with a plan.

After hearing this, Chang Yue panicked and shook his head again and again: "Father, how can this be done? I failed the exam because I was slightly inferior. I really can't accept this kind of thing..."

Chang Ning scolded: "If you don't accept it, then show me Jieyuan if you pass the exam! If you are stubborn, you will be looked down upon for the rest of your life, and you will not be able to lift your head up! It's hard for you to think about it. I think who is this method for?" , it’s not because of you, an unfilial son! If you pass the exam yourself, I don’t need to be so humble and beg for help!”

He scolded and scolded, but every sentence pierced Chang Yu's heart, Chang Yu lowered his head, not knowing how to refute, he only felt a fire burning in his heart, trying to burn out his reason.

Chang Ning said again: "If you know Yuan among the people, and no one recommends you, you won't be successful. You are different. If you know Yuan, the Chang family has connections to recommend you to Beijing for the exam. Even if you are a scholar, our family can also feel proud. At that time, you will be an official again, and you won’t have to be a son-in-law who is a son-in-law. It’s not easy for a lady from a famous family to get married.”

As Chang Yue's father, Chang Ning has never thought about Chang Yue's future. Using his son to climb high branches in the capital is the biggest use Chang Ning thinks of for his son. However, if Chang Yue can become an official by himself, everything will be different up.

As for Chang Yue, he had long wanted to leave the Chang family. This time, it might be an opportunity.

After several struggles, Chang Yue agreed.

The two sons made Chang Ning worry, but no matter what, they were also his own sons.Chang Ning entrusted Zhang's family to handle matters, and prepared another box of silver ingots to be carried to Zhang's house.

Cannibals have soft mouths but short hands, Chang Ning has both sides ready.

It was almost noon now, Chang Ning brought his two sons with him, and greeted the distinguished guests at the door.Not long after, a group of people appeared carrying luxurious sedan chairs.

The Zhang family has always traveled with great style, surrounded by a group of people.

The sedan chair fell, only Zhang Guangping came out.

Zhang Guangping said: "My father went to the capital yesterday night and couldn't make it. I'm really sorry. However, my father specially asked me to bring Uncle Chang a jar of finely brewed mash wine as a token of his gratitude."

Knowing that there will be a banquet today, Zhang Daiqing will not avoid him if he left overnight.Chang Ning said calmly: "This... I invited your father's favorite theater troupe. It's a pity that he can't come."

Zhang Guangping asked people to pass the slush wine to the servants of Chang's family, and said: "It's okay, we can also listen to the opera, I have heard the opera they sang, it is not so good, take this opportunity, Uncle Chang can also be full Feast your ears."

Chang Ning nodded and said, "I don't know why your father went to the capital in such a hurry?"

Zhang Guangping said: "The matter of the bank, of course, and the matter of brother Chang and me, my father also has to deal with it."

Chang Ning laughed: "Your father has worked hard. Come, go in and sit."

Chang Ning got the news he wanted, but there was still one thing he couldn't let go of. After Zhang Guangping took his seat, he whispered: "Guangping, I wonder if the box of silver ingots I sent can be received?"

Zhang Guangping said: "My father has already taken him to the capital, Uncle Chang, please rest assured, my father will be able to take care of the eldest son's affairs."

Chang Ning smiled happily: "Thank you very much. When your father comes back, I will definitely pay a visit and thank you personally."

Zhang Guangping said: "Uncle Chang, you don't have to be polite. But, Uncle Chang, you have prepared so much money, why don't you buy an official to do it, and you have to go around so much trouble."

Chang Ning said: "Guangping, you don't know, just buy an official, lest people will be jealous, I heard that the current emperor hates such things the most, if someone sues, if it is found out, then our Chang family will be overwhelmed and walk around. It’s not like this, it’s not easy to be noticed.”

Zhang Guangping doesn't have much interest in being an official, and being an official still needs to be restrained, so it's better to run a family business at ease.But the Chang family had their own considerations, and it didn't hurt that they took money from the man to do something for him with little effort.Zhang Guangping said absently, "What Uncle Chang said is true."

The opera troupe started to sing on stage after they had dinner, and when the tables were full, only He Mao, the prefect at the main table, was missing.

Chang Ning stood guard at the door and looked around the street, but there was no sign of the eunuch for a long time.It was noon now, and Chang Ning waited anxiously, so he asked his servants to go to the prefect's mansion to have a look.

It was Lu Li who led the order.

Lu Li has been busy since morning, and has not had time to drink a sip of water, his mouth is chapped, and his face is still pale.But he couldn't delay the matter, he walked and ran on the road, and went straight to Tai Sui's mansion.

At noon, the sun was shining, Lu Li ran all the way, seeing the Tai Sui Mansion in front of him, he gradually slowed down his pace, trying to take a breath, but he was too tired, he was panting, dizzy, and his feet were weak It fell down without warning.

In Changfu, as a guest, Zhang Guangping had already drank two cups of tea, he rarely waited for people like this, and couldn't help but angrily said: "This Tai Sui is so arrogant, he asked us to wait for him alone."

Chang Chao said: "Brother Zhang, it's hard for you. Tai Sui has always been like this. He doesn't even give your father face. It's really not easy for our Chang family to invite him."

Zhang Guangping said: "Could it be that he didn't give a clear answer when you invited him this time?"

Chang Chao said: "It is true that we have not been answered. Whether he will come or not is not enough for us to send the invitation. At this time, we still have to wait."

Zhang Guangping could do nothing but wait.

But bored, he looked at Chang Yue, who was silent, and said, "Master Chang, I heard that Uncle Chang talked about a marriage for you, and the other party is a high-ranking official in the capital, no way. Also, Uncle Chang For you, please ask my father about it, you will be prosperous in the future."

Chang Yue sullenly said with a jerky tone, "Thanks for the compliment."

Zhang Guangping made fun of it on purpose: "Young Master Chang got promoted and made a fortune, don't forget about us, we will come to the capital to find you in the future, don't pretend you don't know us."

Chang Yue could hear the teasing in his tone, his face was not very good-looking, but he couldn't be angry, he was bored in his heart, turned his face away, and didn't want to make trouble.

Zhang Guangping put his hot face on his cold butt, his face was cold, and his mouth was drawn into a straight line.

Chang Chao tried to smooth things over in a timely manner: "Brother Zhang, brother is not good at words, so don't argue with him."

Zhang Guangping followed his father since he was a child and learned how to deal with things smoothly, so of course he can't show his feelings at this moment.He secretly cast a disdainful look at Chang Yue, turned his head, and looked magnanimous again.
