Zhaoqingfang belongs to the second district of Zuoxiang in Bianjing City, so it is also commonly known as "Zuoerxiang".

It is the third largest residential area in Bianjing City.

The second compartment on the left starts from Donghua Gate and extends to the foot of the east wall of the inner city of Bianjing.

The south extends from the East-West Street in front of the Xuande Gate of the Imperial City to the north to the north wall of the inner city, with a length of about 1,300 paces from north to south, with sixteen districts mixed in.

East-West Chicken Alley and Large and Small Cargo Alley pass between the compartments, cutting the entire compartment into four blocks of different sizes.

This is also the most striking feature of the cities of the Song Dynasty.

There is no longer the style of cities in the Han and Tang Dynasties where "hundreds of houses are like chess boards and twelve streets are like vegetable beds".

Instead there is clutter.

Whether it is street business districts or urban residential areas, there are all kinds of illegal buildings everywhere.

The refugees who poured into the city in large numbers built haphazardly everywhere in the city.

The government had no time to take care of it, so they could only let it go.

Because it had just rained, the stone road in the left compartment was a little slippery.

Therefore, Guo Zhongxiao did not ride in, but dismounted at the entrance of Dongjier Lane, then walked into the alley holding a lantern.

The purple military uniform he wore and the saber tied around his waist made all the gangsters who saw him subconsciously choose to stay away.

Walk through the long and narrow alleys and walk through divided districts.

Guo Zhongxiao finally arrived in front of Zhaoqingfang.

Because he heard the chirping sound of the machine.

Zhaoqingfang is where the Lingjin Academy is located. It is also the spinning area with the largest number of weavers and the largest number of master craftsmen in Bianjing City. All weddings in Bianjing City are made by the masters of Zhaoqingfang. Wedding dress, wedding dress to be proud of.

This is because there are three to five hundred households scattered throughout this village, most of whom are descendants of the hundred or so households that were brought back to Bianjing from Shu after the pacification of Shu.

Every family has a family tradition of embroidery or brocade weaving.

Therefore, the living standard of the residents in Zhaoqingfang is considered high in Bianjing City.

As a result, every household was modeled after an official's mansion, with lanterns hanging at the door.

Guo Zhongxiao walked into it and soon saw a big willow tree.

On the threshold under the willow tree, there is a sharp cold light and halberds are lined up. This is the home of the Prime Minister.

There is no doubt that it is the residence of the ruling Sima Guang given by the emperor.

Under the light of the lantern in front of Sima Guang's door, Guo Zhongxiao saw a figure who was sent out by people from the Sima family.

He walked over slowly and smiled: "Uncle Yi!"

"Li Zhi?" Zhong Jianzhong, who had just walked out of the door, was surprised when he saw Guo Zhongxiao's figure.

Guo Zhongxiao came forward with a smile and bowed his hands: "Uncle Yi is here to visit Mr. Sima?"

"Yes!" Zhong Jianzhong nodded, returned the gift with his hand, and then asked: "Is Li Zhi also here to visit Mr. Sima?"

Guo Zhongxiao shook his head: "My current status is not suitable for this!"

He is now a close official of the emperor, a close minister of the emperor, and a man of tongue and tongue.

This is true even if the value is lowered.

"Then is Li Zhi coming?" Zhong Jianzhong was a little confused.

He and Guo Zhongxiao are old friends.

There is also a deep relationship between the two teachers.

Not only academically, but also by blood.

Mr. Hengqu Zhang Zai is Cheng Hao, the cousin of Cheng Yi's brother.

Coupled with the ancestral friendship between the Guo family and the Zhong family, it can be said that Guo Zhongxiao and Zhong Jianzhong have known each other since childhood.

"Come and meet Uncle Yi..." Guo Zhongxiao said softly.

"certain?"

"Well!" Guo Zhongxiao asked, "Uncle Yi, is Duan Ru at home?"

Zhong Jianzhong nodded: "Yes!"

He was a little confused: "If we establish it, we still need to find the cause?"

Guo Zhongxiao nodded.

This left Zhong Jianzhong puzzled.

It should be noted that their brothers have now given up their military positions and have no plans to inherit them.

According to the words of Fourth Uncle (Zhong Yi), 'Even if you are a selector, it is better than being a military minister'!

No matter how you choose someone, at least you don’t have to be jealous or suppressed.

Not so for a military official.

When he was young, he was suppressed by civil servants and officials.

After finally making some achievements, his status was high, and the civil servants could no longer suppress him.

But they will hinder you from behind!

It’s good to be able to use half of your 100% ability.

What's more important is that no matter how much merit you make, once it is not as good as the officials want.

Suspicion and suppression followed one after another.

Therefore, the Zhong family should follow the path of civil servants.

However, the Zhong family was originally a family of civil servants and had a very good foundation.

It is not difficult to take the imperial examination road again.

"What's the reason for this?" Zhong Jianzhong blinked.

"Let's go to Uncle Yi's house first and then talk in detail!" Guo Zhongxiao said with a smile.

…

The ancestral home of the Zhong family is deep in Zhaoqingfang, adjacent to Ayajinyuan.

Because it was a house given to Zhongfang by Emperor Taizong, it was naturally very lavish, with dozens of rooms and more than a dozen people living there, including Zhong Jianzhong's brothers.

In addition, there are more than thirty servants, healthy women, serving these various family members.

Naturally, in such a large mansion, the family members do not live together, but live separately.

Brothers Zhong Jianzhong lived in a courtyard left by their father.

At this moment, the two Zhong Jianzhong brothers looked shocked.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... you want our brothers to enter the palace and teach martial arts to Your Majesty?"

Not to mention the young cultivator, even Zhong Jianzhong was open-mouthed.

You know, the Zhong family is still under suspicion!

Even the fourth uncle was trapped in Hezhou on Xihe Road.

Now, the official family actually allowed their brothers to enter the palace and become professors in front of the emperor?

Guo Zhongxiao nodded: "This is why I came to visit you tonight!"

"I came here by oral instruction..."

Brother Zhong Jianzhong looked at each other, and then both brothers kowtowed in the direction of Funing Hall: "I will obey the holy edict!"

It is true that their brothers are planning to give up martial arts and follow civil service.

But the Zhong family has been the home of three generations of military commanders.

Moreover, the family elders are now in the military.

Even if they belong to a group that is excluded, suspected, and suppressed.

But he is also a warrior!

Military ministers are not qualified to bargain with the royal family.

Not to mention the grace of the emperor personally promoting him as a personal attendant.

Reject? Yes!

But the price may have to be paid by the entire family!

He was even regarded as an alien and labeled as disloyal.

not to mention……

Both Zhong Jianzhong and Zhong Shizhong grew up with their father and ancestors in the military camp of Shaanxi.
