Your Majesty, please resign again

Chapter 100 I hope that we will live forever and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart! (Thanks to [Fu Sheng 662810] for the great award)

"When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine..."

"I wonder what year it is today in the palace in the sky..."

"...I wonder what year it is today in the palace in the sky..."

Among the brothels in Bianjing, there are clear and beautiful songs floating in the air. What is being sung is Zhang Heng's "Shui Tiao Song Tou" composed the day before yesterday. The singing is melodious and the lyrics are beautiful, attracting passers-by to stop and listen.

"Whose poem is this? Why is there such a fairy spirit floating around? Is this a Mid-Autumn Festival poem? I haven't heard of it before?"

Pedestrians asked each other, and some people simply went into the brothel, intending to consult the young ladies in the brothel.

Don't get me wrong, they didn't mean anything else, they just wanted to ask what the word was.

As for discussing poetry with the ladies later, it was just in passing, and it did not mean that this was their original intention.

As a result, the brothel business was booming that night.

According to a senior brothel turtle who did not want to be named.

Every time Zhang Twenty-four writes a poem, the brothel's business will receive a wave of good news.

It can be said that Zhang Twenty-four is the bellwether of the brothel business.

Once there are new poems from Chapter 24, the girls in the brothel will definitely try their best to get the poems, and then immediately rehearse and perform.

If you can't catch up, you will fall behind immediately.

Therefore, once a scholar goes to a brothel to discuss the true meaning of life, he will most likely be asked if there are any new words in Chapter 24 during his blissful moments, which may be very disappointing.

There is also a scholar with a very flexible mind who claims to be a good friend of Zhang Twenty-four. Not only does he know clearly whether Zhang Twenty-four has new works, but he may also be able to bring out Zhang Twenty-four's new works in advance.

As a result, the scholar was highly praised by the young ladies and even slept with several young ladies for free.

However, no new words have appeared for a long time, which inevitably arouses suspicion.

Someone then went to check and found out that it was just a classmate who had snatched the Taixue steamed buns from Zhang Twenty-four.

You wouldn't dare to hit someone, but the reputation of a scholar has spread throughout the brothels, and you may not be able to enter them again for the rest of your life.

The scholar cried bitterly and felt that this life had completely lost its meaning and it was better to die...

Then this gentleman was discovered secretly sneaking into an alley to discuss life with the young ladies whose doors were ajar.

People can't help but sigh, how tenacious the power of life is, and they will find a way out.

These Zhang Heng brothers didn't know it, so they stayed in the Zeng Mansion.

Needless to say, Zeng Gongliang likes to make money because he is also good at enjoying it.

The food and drinks in Zeng's mansion were very exquisite, and the living and traveling were first-class luxury. It can be seen that Zeng Gongliang was not a miser, but a man who understood life.

Zhang Jun once believed that Taixue steamed buns were the best delicacies in the world, but after eating Zeng's food, he felt that Taixue steamed buns were his youth and an image used to remember his youth in the future. However, Zeng's food was

That is the necessity of life.

Therefore, Zhang Xun had a dream—the Zhang Mansion should be like this in the future!

Zhang Jun told his younger brother Zhang Heng about this dream, and Zhang Heng couldn't help but laugh. This is the saying that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black.

Thinking about Zhang Jun before, he was still a stingy man who wanted to break away a penny and spend it as three pennies. However, after only staying in Zeng Mansion for such a short time, his thoughts changed drastically. He really changed from simplicity to luxury.

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

When Zhang Shu appeared in front of them, Zhang Jun and Zhang Heng were surprised and said: "Second brother, are you back?"

Zhang Shu had a look of dissatisfaction on his face: "I was arrested, and you just enjoy the good food and drink at the teacher's place without caring about my safety at all?"

Zhang Heng came closer to Zhang Shu and smelled it.

Zhang Shu pushed Zhang Heng away with a guilty conscience: "What are you doing? I'm asking you!"

Zhang Heng and Zhang Quhui reported: "Brother, the second brother only smells of wine and meat, not rouge, so he was probably just treated to a delicious meal, and he hasn't lost his virginity yet. Well... he will be back at this time. …”

Zhang Heng pointed to Zhangshu and came to a conclusion: "Brother, our second brother is despised!"

Zhang Shu became anxious all of a sudden: "Why are you being disliked? Don't talk nonsense! I, Zhang Juzhong, is a talented person. Who is blind enough to dislike me? I have told you that your second brother and I will definitely get married." Got it!"

Zhang Jun and Zhang Heng looked at each other.

Zhang Heng said: "Second brother, tell me, who is the other party?"

Zhang Shu then told Zou Yaozhang's family situation, and Zhang Jun frowned: "Is he a merchant?"

Zhang Shu asked anxiously: "What's wrong with the merchant? As long as the people are nice, it'll be fine?"

Zhang Heng smiled and said, "Have you seen anyone before my second brother?"

Zhang Shu snorted and said, "I have met both Zou Yaozhang and Mrs. Zou. They are both reasonable people. It can be seen that their daughter is not much different, right?"

Zhang Jun scolded: "Are you trying to get someone's family? Are you trying to get someone's money? You're despicable!"

Zhang Shu snorted and said, "I have to look the same, right? It's better than coveting other people's bodies, right?"

Zhang Heng held up his palms and said with a smile: "Second brother knows how to live."

Zhang Jun glared at Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Second brother said that Zou Yaozhang and Mrs. Zou are good people, and they both said that their daughter is Xiao Mu. I think this daughter is not much different.

The second brother and the eldest brother have also reached the age of marrying wives. When they reach the right age, it is indeed time to put it on the agenda.

And it’s not a bad thing for the eldest brother and the second brother to find someone whose family is rich. From now on, the second brother will have a stable life, right?"

Zhang Jun thought for a while after hearing this. It seems that this is the truth?

He considered his words: "Then... give it a try?"

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "Well, we have settled on this, but we still need to ask the teacher's opinion. Our brothers and parents have passed away, so it is reasonable to ask the teacher to help us host it."

Zhang Jun held his hands and smiled and said: "Yes, let the teacher make the decision."

So the three brothers went to Zeng Gongliang's study. After listening to Zhang Shu's description, Zeng Gongliang asked a few more questions and nodded: "I know the Zou family. It is indeed a wealthy family. I can marry him." Being an only daughter is indeed a good thing, and I have no objection to this matter."

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Teacher, the parents of the three of us brothers died young, so you, the teacher, have to make the final decision on our marriage."

Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "It should be so. Let's do this. Master, let your wife handle this matter. If there is a need for Master to come forward, Master will naturally go there. Ju'an, you have to work more."

Zhang Jun nodded quickly and said, "Teacher, I can do it."

The matter was thus settled.

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Zhang Jun took his two younger brothers to visit Zhang Mansion, which was Zhang Dexiang's home.

But the bustling scene in front of them made the three brothers think they were in a busy city.

The three brothers were immediately dumbfounded.

There were so many cars and horses parked at the door that it was hard to hear, and the door was extremely busy. Zhang Jun went up and said, "I have three brothers who are here to see Uncle Zhang. Please tell me."

The man looked up in his busy schedule and asked, "Which family are you from?"

Zhang Jun said quickly: "We are the nephews of the Zhang family in Pucheng..."

Menzi hummed and then interrupted: "Just leave the gift and name card. We will register them and look at them when your husband has time."

Zhang Jun was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Heng, who nodded.

The three brothers put down the gifts and name cards without even having time to look at them.

Zhang Jun whispered: "Just leave like this?"

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "That's it, we'll talk about it when we get back."

So the three brothers took a small donkey cart back. On the way, Zhang Jun looked back at the Zhang family and sighed: "What the third brother said before is right. The Zhang family is directly related to us, so they will not be related to us."

Take it seriously."

Zhang Heng smiled and said, "That's pretty good."

The three brothers were silent, but felt relieved in their hearts.

After returning home, Zhang Jun said with a smile: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival happily."

Brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shu looked at each other and both became excited.

Zhang Shu smiled and said: "I am about to have a good Mid-Autumn Festival!"

The house has been cleaned, so there is no need to clean it again. The main thing is to prepare sacrifices to worship my parents.

The sacrifices are all prepared beforehand. The chicken, duck and goose meat are braised, the fruits are placed directly on the plate, and then several plates of vegetables are prepared and placed on the table.

Later, candles were lit, incense was burned, and prayers were made. Zhang Jun muttered for most of an hour before he finished speaking.

After waiting for another hour, he started to burn the paper money. When the paper money was burned out, Zhang Jin went to the yard and lit a firecracker, which was considered as the worship was completed.

Then the three brothers collected the sacrifices, chopped the chickens, ducks and geese into pieces, fried them in a pan, heated the vegetables, and fried the rice. It was a very sumptuous dinner.

The three brothers sat down at the table, with their parents' tablets not far away, as if they were all eating together as a family.

Night fell quietly outside, firecrackers sounded one after another, lights gradually lit up in the night sky, and children's screams of joy never stopped.

Zhang Jun listened for a while and said with a smile: "Eat, well, there is still some wine that Fan Lou sent last time, let's scoop some up and drink it. The weather is getting a little cold, so it's good to warm up your body.

Third brother, let’s celebrate.”

Zhang Shu suddenly jumped up and shouted: "I'm going, I'm going!"

Zhang Jun took a look and found that Zhang Shu used a big bowl, and one person scooped out a big bowl. He couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

Zhang Heng went over and helped bring the wine over, one bowl for each person. Zhang Jun lowered his head and smelled it, and said happily: "This wine is delicious! Come on, as the eldest brother, I will give you one! I wish the three of us brothers better and better days.

I wish the third brother a successful spring, and I wish the second brother that all his happiness will come true! Come and cheers!"

The three brothers raised their bowls and clinked them. Zhang took a big sip and spat out, and the aroma of wine overflowed from his mouth.

Zhang Heng took a careful sip and swallowed it slowly. The strong alcohol passed through his throat, burning.

Zhang Shu took two big gulps, and the wine in the bowl was suddenly reduced by half.

Zhang Xun immediately scolded: "You drunkard, you ruined such a good wine like this! You don't know how expensive this wine is!"

Zhang Shu breathed out a breath of wine and laughed: "Brother, our family is not short of money now, what can we do with this little money!"

Zhang Jun scolded: "Why are you not short of money? You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. You don't know how long we have been without income, do you?"

I don’t know when the dividends from Third Brother’s shopping mall will be available. We can’t sell egg-filled biscuits. Our family is already so poor that we only have three houses!

You have to live in one apartment yourself, and even if you rent out the other two apartments, what can you do with only a few hundred dollars a month?"

Zhang Xun cursed, "When my wife comes to tell you about your marriage, there will be a lot of money to spend!

You have to ask for betrothal gifts, you have to buy new clothes, and there are many other things. Money has to be spent on everything, and there is no way to save it!

What can our little savings do?"

Zhang Shu said indifferently: "Brother, don't worry, the Zou family is very rich, just let them worry about these things."

Zhang Xun became even more angry: "What nonsense are you talking about! We are marrying a wife, not a wife!"

What's going on, we let them pay for what we should do and what we should pay for?

If this is the case, will you still have a status in the family by then? What hope is there for such a life..."

Having said this, Zhang Jun turned to look at Zhang Heng, and his voice became gentle.

"... Third brother, the eldest brother has something to discuss with you..."

Zhang Heng was drinking and watching a show. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jun suddenly turned the topic to him. He quickly put down his chopsticks and said, "Brother, please tell me."

Zhang Jin thought about it for a while, looked at Zhang Shu and said: "Second brother is getting married and he lives in the same courtyard with us. I guess there will be a lot of inconvenience.

The Zou family is also a big family, and it is not good for their daughter to live in a small house after all, so I want to discuss this with you..."

Zhang Shu said flatly: "Brother, please stop talking!"

However, Zhang Jun ignored Zhang Shu and said directly: "...The courtyard on Xijiaomen Street is very big. Even if the second son's family goes to live together, it is not considered as wronging his daughter.

Therefore, the eldest brother wants to discuss with you and give this courtyard to your second brother. As for you, the courtyard you live in now and the smaller one I bought before will be given to you. Although it will be a loss to you. , but it’s still too much of a disadvantage.”

Zhang Heng laughed and said, "Brother, it's meaningless for you to say that. Second brother wants to get married, so of course we have to support him.

After all, the house on West Point Street belongs to the three of us brothers.

If the eldest brother says it should be given to the second brother, it will be given to the second brother, let alone who will suffer the loss. I support it with both hands and feet."

Zhang Shu said with a gloomy face: "I don't agree! To be honest, the three of us brothers rely on the third child too much. These three houses and each one have a great relationship with the third child.

It’s true that we bought the small house together, but the egg-filled pancakes were Lao San’s idea. Without an egg-filled pancake stall, we wouldn’t be able to survive in Bianjingdu. How could we afford to buy a house?

The house we live in now was bought by the third son in exchange for sugar house and shopping mall shares. Everyone knows this.

And the courtyard on West Jiaomen Street was bought by the third child himself with his own suggestions, and has nothing to do with us brothers!

So, eldest brother, third brother, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can’t have this house!”

Zhang Jun shouted: "Second brother, sit down! You are not qualified to speak on this matter. The eldest brother is the father, so you can just listen to what the eldest brother arranges!"

Zhang Shu stood with his neck stiffened: "Brother, the third child is Jieyuan, and Chunwei will win no matter what. If he wins Jinshi, and there is a teacher here, then he will be an official in the capital, and he has to go to court every day. The house on the street is just for the third child, so this is a big deal!

As for the house we live in now, we all have to live in it now, and we all have to go to school. Living here is the most convenient, and we can’t move!”

Seeing that Zhang Shu still dared to speak, Zhang Jun became angry: "You idiot!..."

He rolled up his sleeves and was about to perform a full martial arts show.

Zhang Heng was a little helpless: "Stop! Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's a great day, so please stop arguing! Listen to me!"

Zhang Jun and Zhang Shu both looked at Zhang Heng immediately.

Zhang Heng thought for a while and said: "Second brother, let's listen to the elder brother on this matter. This is not your matter alone, it is our Zhang family's matter. Our Zhang family cannot lose this face!"

Therefore, it has been decided that this courtyard on West Jiaomen Street will be used as your wedding room."

Zhang Shu said anxiously: "How can this be possible..."

Zhang Heng waved his hands and said: "Second brother, shut up!"

Zhang Shu closed his mouth.

"...Secondly, brother, you said that the other two houses belong to me. Why, brother wants to separate the family so quickly?"

Zhang Jun became anxious when he heard this: "Nonsense, I don't have such an idea!..."

Zhang Heng spread his hands and said, "That's it, we won't separate our families. So, when we talk about whose family this belongs to, which belongs to whose, don't we just want to separate our families?"

Zhang Jun also closed his mouth.

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "In my opinion, these three houses are nothing. One or two thousand yuan is enough to stop it. Only the people in the shopping mall are valuable.

Although I haven’t seen the account book yet, haven’t I settled the accounts with you before? When we get on the right track, the money I receive in a year will be enough to buy several houses.”

Zhang Jun was happy and guilty at the same time.

He was happy that Zhang Heng understood his good intentions, but felt guilty that he, the eldest brother, was clearly responsible for these things, but instead he wanted to take advantage of his third brother, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Zhang Shu looked even more guilty.

Zhang Heng smiled and comforted: "Big brother and second brother, don't have such narrow horizons. In the future, when we all pass the Jinshi examination, these things will not matter. Our Zhang family has three Jinshi in one branch. That will be the moment to honor our ancestors. You guys Say yes?"

Zhang Jun couldn't help but feel fascinated: "If this is really the case, how happy will our parents be in heaven?"

He simply walked out, went to the shrine of his parents, lit another stick of incense, put it in his hands, clasped his hands and prayed:

Dear parents, I pray that your spirits in heaven will bless your third brother to be able to bloom next spring and give our Zhang family the first victory!

I also pray that my parents will bless my second brother’s marriage to go smoothly, that he and his wife will be harmonious at home, and that they will live a harmonious and beautiful life...

While Zhang Jin was praying, Zhang Heng gently sipped his wine. The home was as warm as spring, the aroma of wine and meat was overflowing, and the sound of firecrackers outside continued.

What a Mid-Autumn Festival!

I hope that people will live long and share Changjuan thousands of miles apart.
