Chapter 18 Zhang House
Bai Yuqing was flying from the sky above the Yangtze River to Jiangling City.
Halfway through.
Looking from the sky to the earth, I saw a constant stream of pedestrians heading towards this magnificent mansion on a road leading from Jiangling City to the most magnificent mansion in the city.
Some officials and bureaucrats from Jiangling City, surrounded by many yamen runners, headed towards the grand mansion in the government carriage.
There are also many high-ranking gangs in Jingzhou on the roads in the city. The high-ranking gangs from different gangs have different costumes. Just looking at their horse mounts, you can tell that they are all top-ranking gangs in Jingzhou.
Groups of poor scholars were walking in a hurry, and some scholars were riding in a carriage, talking loudly, and they were all happy, as if they had encountered a big happy event.
There are even the ladies and ladies of Jingzhou families who are rushing on their way in various carriages. They are dressed up dignified and beautifully. Occasionally, they open the curtains and look out at the grand mansion in the distance with beautiful eyes full of expectations. They whisper to the maids accompanying them, all of whom were extremely excited.
Bai Yuqing couldn't help but wonder when he saw the pedestrians in the city so lively. Even Zhang Ziyu, who was with him, had a question mark on his face. He didn't know why so many people rushed to his home. Could there be any happy events?
However, Zhang Ziyu is only one month away from home. Logically speaking, he should notify him if there is a happy event, right?
At this time, there were bustling crowds of people on the official roads in the city and their identities were very different, but they all went to the Zhang Mansion with excitement. It was really strange.
It would be fine if those scholars and officials went to the Zhang Mansion. After all, Zhang Ziyu's father was always close to all forces in Jiangling City. It was normal for these scholars and officials to visit.
However, what did those rich merchants in the world, and even local merchants, hurry to the Zhang Mansion? The Zhang Mansion doesn't seem to be very familiar with them.
Bai Yuqing and Zhang Ziyu looked at each other, found a remote place in the city, and collected the flying sword and landed on the ground.
Then, the two of them hiked to the main road in the city and headed towards Zhang's mansion.
In front, three or five scholars were hiking, while talking excitedly about the scriptures, arguing about the Ming scriptures "Etiquette", "Spring and Autumn Annals", etc., compiling poems and writing a few poems without hesitation.
Bai Yuqing knew little about ancient Chinese, never learned ancient scriptures, nor did he know what they were talking about.
She stepped forward and asked politely: "Several young men, why are so many people going to the Zhang Mansion? But what happened?"
The scholars turned around in surprise and saw Bai Yuqing, but were immediately amazed.
Although Bai Yuqing has completely restrained the fluctuations of his magic power, his own cultivation has produced a fairy-like temperament that is far more elegant than that of mortals.
Bai Yuqing has a cold and calm temperament, and her eyes are as bright as a sword. She is not a normal mortal dares to look at her. Moreover, her beautiful figure and beautiful fairy posture are even more amazing.
The scholars asked themselves that they were handsome and elegant, but when they looked at this woman, they were astonished as wood and as sand and gravel as spiritual jade, and they felt ashamed. As for Zhang Ziyu behind Bai Yuqing, they were automatically ignored.
"The two young men don't know what big happy events happened in the Zhang family?"
A scholar quickly came back from his shock, and quickly bowed and explained: "The second son of the Zhang family in Zhang Mansion passed the top scorer half a month ago and was famous all over the world. A few days ago, he had just returned from the capital to visit his relatives, which was a great joy. Just so happened that Lord Zhang was on his 60th birthday and was about to take charge.
The Zhang Mansion will be held in a big way for a month. Now, all the entire Jiangling City, whether it is the government, the rivers and lakes, or the gentry, who have a little fame and status, go to the Zhang Mansion and rush to congratulate him."
"Not bad! But this is said that Lord Zhang's youngest son went to Shu Immortal Sect to study for art the previous month. The fairy track was unsuccessful, but I was afraid that Feixian would become the Tao. The second son of the Zhang family passed the top scorer and greatly boosted the morale of my Jiangnan scholars. We are a scholar in Jiangnan in Jingzhou, just want to go to Zhang's house to visit one or two, and hope to exchange knowledge with the second son of the Zhang family. Which of the aristocratic ladies in Jiangling City doesn't want to catch up with this marriage? They naturally want to visit them to see if they have this fate."
"Now Lord Zhang's status in the court is also a unique honor in the entire thirteen places of Jingzhou. Who doesn't envy it?"
All the scholars were praised and envious.
Bai Yuqing couldn't help but look surprised, and Zhang Ziyu suddenly realized it and then realized it.
My second brother studied in Beijing, won the top scorer, and returned home.
My dad is preparing to celebrate his birthday.
These two major events will naturally cause a lot of noise.
No wonder the journey from Jiangling City to Zhang’s mansion was very lively. Not only the county magistrates and the nearby generals came, but the scholars and ladies of the aristocratic families rushed to Lord Zhang’s mansion.
"Young Master Zhang, your house is really lively!"
...
Zhang Mansion.
The mansion covering an area of hundreds of acres is very lively inside and outside.
Since the world has been in turmoil, in recent years, there have been droughts in various parts of the Central Plains and famines have started everywhere.
Only Jingzhou, the Jiangnan area, is located in a place with abundant grain production. In addition, Jingzhou has heavy troops hoarded, Lord Zhang, the prefect of Jingzhou, had almost minimal impact on the Zhang Mansion, the Zhang Mansion, in this turmoil.
Now it is difficult to issue the imperial court's orders. The Zhang family has become the top scholar with the second son of the Zhang family, becoming the top scholar appointed by His Majesty, and even allowing the Zhang family to cover the sky in this Jingzhou.
In the Zhang Mansion’s mansion, there are more than a dozen butlers and guests standing, specially welcome to guests from all over the world.
Near the mansion, hundreds of luxurious horse carriages were filled with them, and the neighing sounds continued.
The guests who came to congratulate were almost filled with many guest rooms in the mansion.
Unless they are officials and gentry in Jingzhou, great gentry, or celebrities with status such as children of aristocratic families, ordinary people can no longer enter the mansion.
There are not so many people in the mansion.
Even those scholars in Jingzhou who were famous and wanted to visit the second son of the Zhang family, the top scholar, could only rent a neighbor's house nearby and temporarily live there.
Bai Yuqing and Zhang Ziyu came outside the Zhang Mansion and stood among hundreds of lively crowds outside the mansion. Looking at the lively scene, they couldn't help but fall into a slight shock.
Zhang Ziyu looked at her door, then looked at Bai Yuqing and said, "Bai...Sister Bai, are we going in?"
Zhang Ziyu is very confused now. She and Bai Yuqing both became disciples together, but the other party had long become formal disciples. This time, the head of the sect said that everything is mainly formal disciples.
Bai Yuqing looked at it for a long time, pondered for a while, but shook her head gently.
It is definitely inappropriate for them to enter like this.
Although you can easily enter as Zhang Ziyu, the demon monks who invaded various parts of the Central Plains will not oppose the righteous monks such as the Emei Sect on the surface, and will focus on some very influential mortals in one place.
