Chapter 215

Zhang Hao was very happy to have the New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening. 4 red envelopes, the father’s maximum 2,000 taels, the mother’s maximum 1,600 taels, the brother’s 1,000 taels, and the sister-in-law’s 1,000 taels, which made Zhang Hao very happy. He was so proud while eating.

Zhang Rong also liked this son. Although it was a pity that Zhang Hao could not inherit the title, he himself had a marquis, which was also very good. In addition, the trust of the emperor now has done a lot of things for the emperor. Moreover, these things are obvious things, which also made Jiajing see hope. Therefore, Zhang Rong was very satisfied with this stupid son.

"Come on, Li'er, Hao'er, eat more vegetables. There are so many dishes, I can't finish them!" Zhang Rong sat there and said.

"Dad, I'll give you a glass!" Zhang Li said as he picked up the wine glass. Zhang Hao was helpless. He couldn't drink, but his father and mother refused to let him go. He said he was not old and could only drink after getting married.

"Well, come on, Li'er is better this year than last year. Last year, she is a sick person. Look at it this year, it's much better!" Zhang Rong said happily.

"I also have to thank my second brother. If it weren't forcing me to exercise, I would probably be in trouble!" Zhang Li said to Zhang Hao after drinking.

"Hehe, that's right, I'm so awesome!" Zhang Hao said proudly.

"Mom, my daughter-in-law wishes you a glass!" Ding Yu also picked up the wine glass and said to Xu.

"Okay, mom, I'm sorry for you in the past few years. Don't worry. I won't urge you. I just hope you can live a good life!" Xu also picked up the wine glass and said with a smile.

"Thank you, mom!" Ding Yu said a little moved.

"The family will have a baby next year, but it's a good thing!" Zhang Li also said, and then they were eating and chatting. They drank. Zhang Hao looked at them drank helplessly. He actually wanted to drink some.

After eating for about an hour, the meal was removed, and the family sat in the living room to chat. Zhang Hao suggested playing cards, but he didn't have a share, so he didn't even have his own share. The four of them sat there playing mahjong, and they could only serve tea and water!

Seeing my father playing mahjong, my father's skills were not good at playing mahjong. After ticking a night's cannon, Zhang Hao was helpless and wanted to drive him off, but failed.

It was midnight that Zhang Li went outside to light firecrackers, closed the door, and her mother and sister-in-law went to rest. The three of them needed to watch over here, so the three of them went to Zhang Rong's study room, which was also equipped with stoves. The three of them sat there chatting. Zhang Hao asked Zhang Rong and Zhang Li to sleep first, and he slept more during the day today.

Until the hour of Yin, Zhang Rong woke up and asked Zhang Hao to sleep for a while. After dawn, they had to go to Yuxi Palace to greet Jiajing. Although other people went to greet Jiajing, Jiajing would not come out, but just asked King Yu to come out to replace him.

However, every time the Duke of England went, Jiajing would ask him to go to the Danfang to sit. This is the difference between a Duke and an ordinary minister.

The next morning, after Zhang Hao and the others got up, the three of them rode their horses to Yuxi Palace. Along the way, they met many ministers who were sitting in sedan chairs to Yuxi Palace. However, after seeing Zhang Rong, they stopped sedan chairs and gave way. They stood on the road to greet Zhang Rong. Zhang Rong also bowed all the way.

When they were almost at Yuxi Palace, they met Yan Song, Xu Jie, Lu Ben and others. After they saw Zhang Rong, they also needed to give way. This is etiquette. Zhang Rong is here. As long as he doesn't meet the prince, everyone will give way to Zhang Rong. Of course, the other dukes will go together.

Soon, they arrived outside Yuxi Palace. This year, King Yu was the one who served the ministers on behalf of Jiajing. After saluting the square, an eunuch came to Zhang Rong and spoke, "Duke of England, the emperor summoned you, the prince and Lu An to the Danfang!"

"Okay!" Zhang Rong nodded, and then went to the Danfang. The other ministers could only look at him enviously, but they couldn't even envy him. Zhang Rong took the two brothers Zhang Li to the Danfang and immediately saluted Jiajing.

"No gifts, come here, come and sit down. I have prepared some snacks and just wait for you to come!" Jiajing said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Rong and the others stood up.

"Zhang Li, come on, I haven't seen you for several months. Yesterday, Zhang Hao said, "You are much better now. Come here, let me take a look!" Jiajing greeted Zhang Li and said.

"Thank you, it's not bad!" Zhang Li also came to Jiajing's side.

Jiajing carefully took a lot of Zhang Li, which was really good and much stronger.

"This child was tortured by Hao'er last year, but the effect was obvious. Emperor, this year I am planning to let him serve as a guard at the Imperial Guard, okay?" Zhang Rong also came over and said to Jiajing.

"Okay, be a garrison. You must understand military affairs. Your brother can't always be by your side. He has his own affairs!" Jiajing nodded and said in agreement.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Li bowed again and said,

Zhang Hao had already sat down at this moment and was eating the snacks, which were good.

"Sit down, try it. These highnesses are all sent from the south. If you don't eat them, this kid will be able to finish them!" Jiajing said with a smile on Zhang Hao.

"Why are there no rules for this kid?" Zhang Rong immediately said to Zhang Hao dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year, don't say it, it's okay, this kid is like this!" Jiajing immediately stopped Zhang Rong. Jiajing had liked Zhang Hao, and eating was nothing, it was okay to cut the persimmon tree just to eat persimmons.

"Your Majesty, when did you come here? Why didn't you take it out?" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing while eating the snacks.

"This is for the New Year. Why? Take it out for you in advance?" Jiajing asked as he looked at Zhang Hao with a smile.

"If you don't eat it, isn't that a waste?" Zhang Hao sat there and said to Jiajing.

"You, speak better!" Zhang Rong wanted to get angry, but he held back.

"If you have something to eat, I'm not just here, who else can eat it?" Jiajing said with a smile, not angry at all. On the contrary, it felt very warm.

"That's about the same!" Zhang Hao nodded with satisfaction.

Then Jiajing chatted with Zhang Rong about the matter after the curfew in the capital, including the shopping of the people he was accompanied by. Zhang Hao also gave the snacks to Zhang Li from time to time. How dare Zhang Li eat here?

"Eat, don't be polite. The emperor just lets us eat. They talk about theirs and we eat ours!" Zhang Hao said to Zhang Li.

"Yes, eat, you eat yours, don't worry about us!" Jiajing also said with a smile.

He is still very happy today, with a new year and a new atmosphere.

After sitting in Jiajing's alchemy room for almost half an hour, Zhang Rong said goodbye, but Zhang Hao didn't want to go back, saying that he wanted to accompany Jiajing here. Jiajing didn't let him go. He knew that Zhang Hao would go to greet New Year's greetings. Although many dukes did not come back, Zhang Hao also needed to go there.

After Zhang Hao came out, he followed his elder brother to pay New Year's greetings. There were very few people who could give them a visit to New Year's greetings, and there were few more families with higher status than them.

They finished their worship before noon. At this moment, there were quite a few people at home, and many people couldn't get in and were not qualified to get in. Some low-level military generals and civil officials in the court all needed to come to Zhang Rong for a trip. Not to mention whether they could get in, but the prayer posts needed to be delivered, and they had to be delivered in person.

Zhang Rong was also chatting with those who came to pay New Year's greetings in the living room, and the housekeeper would bring people in from time to time and pay a message to Zhang Rong. After Zhang Li and Zhang Hao came back, he also accompanied him in the living room.

"Master, there are a few comments for the second young master!" The butler said after coming in.

"Oh, give it to him!" Zhang Rong nodded and said. The butler immediately took the worship and posted it to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao took it over, opened it and found that it was Chen Lian, Hu Zongxian and the others, so he said to him: "Dad, I'm going to my courtyard to see them. There are many people here!"

"Okay, go! It's okay to leave them in your yard for lunch!" Zhang Rong nodded with a smile.

"Everyone, I'll say goodbye first!" Zhang Hao stood up and bowed to those who came to pay New Year's greetings. They also quickly stood up and came back. Just kidding, Zhang Hao is the Marquis,

Soon, Zhang Hao arrived at his yard and asked his servants to prepare snacks. At this time, Chen Lian, Hu Zongxian, Zhang Juzheng, and Xu Fan and Qin Liangyi came over.

"Come on, haha, why are you here today?" Zhang Hao smiled and called them to come and sit down.

"There are too many people at the door, so we can only send me a greeting. I still think that I may not be able to enter today!" Chen Lian said with a smile. He followed Zhang Hao for the longest time, so he was a little casual.

"How could it be that I can't come in? If you visit my father, you may not be able to come in. I have nothing to do. I'm bored sitting in the front yard. You are here!" Zhang Hao said with a smile, and then the servant brought tea. Zhang Hao greeted them. He also had dinner in Zhang Hao's yard at noon. After the meal, they went back.

Then they had no place to go. They originally wanted to go to their grandfather's house in the second day of the lunar month, but their grandfather is in Nanjing now, so they can't go to Nanjing now. That's unrealistic, and there are still things to deal with in the court. In the second day of the lunar month, Zhang Hao had to go to Xu Jie's mansion to pay New Year's greetings. He chatted with Xu Shiyun for a while before going back.

In the third year of junior high school, Zhang Hao arrived at the Danfang. Anyway, it was all day long, and he accompanied Jiajing to chat, and then went back. Zhang Hao's house was also preparing for getting married.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, Zhang Hao was about to get married, but Zhang Hao didn't need to worry about these things. Zhang Hao just tried several clothes, and other things had nothing to do with him. Zhang Hao just went to Jiajing. Jiajing was very happy. He had given him a holiday. He still came now, which shows that he was loyal!
