He was stopped by the guards of the Grand Tutor's Mansion and was startled. He quickly cheered up, hugged his fists, and whispered: "I'll send this big brother a message, I'll look for..."

Before he finished speaking, the guard glared at him and shouted: "Get back!"

Chen Lie wanted to argue, but the guard pressed his hand on the hilt without hesitation. His face changed slightly and he hurriedly left.

Under the burning gaze of the guards, he walked back to the street opposite in shame, looking at the tall gate of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and complained in his heart.

Not to mention borrowing money from Zhang Jingxiu, judging by the situation, if no one recommends him, he will not even be able to enter the Grand Master’s Mansion!

That's right.

Can the Taishi Mansion be entered by ordinary people at will?

He wanted to ask the guards to communicate, but before he finished speaking, he was shouted out.

Having no choice but to stand at the entrance of the alley, mingle with a group of porters, stretched their necks and waited hard, muttering to themselves.

"I hope I can meet an acquaintance."

So one hour passed, two hours passed...

Chen Lie stood under the sun and waited for an afternoon, waiting until the evening, and before he could meet someone, he looked at the setting sun helplessly.

It's getting dark.

Chen Lie patted his sore calves and showed a bitter smile on his face. It seemed that there was no chance today, so he could only wait for him to come tomorrow.

As he spoke, Chen Li turned around and wanted to leave, but at this moment, a familiar figure walked out from the side door of the Taishi Mansion in his sight.

It's Zhang Kui.

Chen Lie felt relieved and hurriedly walked over quickly, waved to Zhang Kui, and called softly: "Guard Zhang, Guard Zhang!"

When Zhang Kui heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised. He hurriedly came over and met Chen Lie.

"Oh hey."

Chen Lie looked at Zhang Kui's familiar black face, and tears were almost falling. He seemed to see his relatives and grabbed his arm.

"It's considered waiting for you!"

Relatives!

Zhang Kui was grabbed by him and said in surprise: "Is this the manager Chen?"

Chen Lie smiled bitterly and said, "I won't mention it anymore. I'll let Zhang Guard say... Chen has something important to ask to see Brother Zhang Jingxiu."

Zhang Kui responded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, wait a moment, I'll go and spread it now."

With the relationship between this brother Chen and his own lady, it is not an exaggeration to send a message.

Seeing Zhang Kui returning to Zhang's mansion from the side door, Chen Lie breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the tall mansion with the lintel, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

“It’s too difficult, too difficult…”

Not long.

Zhang Kui walked out of the mansion with a round-faced maid.

Chen Lie looked over and saw that the maid was dressed very well, with a pink and round face. At first glance, he knew that she was a maid who went to the room.

From this maid, Chen Lie immediately thought of Qingwen in Dream of Red Mansions... But her life was much better than Qingwen, and she served a lady who went to the room.

And Zhang Jingxiu is not the kind of tricky master who likes to be a demon.

While talking.

Zhang Kui took the maid to the guards guarding the gate, handed over a note, then waved to Chen Lie again, and chuckled, "Come here."

Chen Lie quickly agreed: "Oh!"

Lower your head.

Chen Lie followed Zhang Kui and the maid in the upper room, walked into the Grand Master's Mansion through the side door, bypassed the huge screen wall made of white jade, walked through the front yard, corridor, and then walked towards the inner house.

Along the way, I met an adult wearing an official robe or a general who was in a hurry, which made Chen Lie feel uneasy.

This is not an act, this is the real Ming Taishi Mansion. This mansion is the center of the entire Ming Dynasty and the power of the government and the people!

He lowered his head and walked in the majestic mansion, passing by the adults wearing various official uniforms, Shen Lie's palms kept sweating.

Fortunately, Zhang Kui kept whispering: "Don't look around, don't talk..."

He nodded in a deep and strong way.

clear!

So the three of them walked through the gorgeous mansion. Chen Lie dared to look around from the corner of his eyes, and he was amazed from time to time.

The Taishi Mansion is really big. It looks like a four-entry house, but it is even bigger than an ordinary four-entry house. Along the way, passing by the gates of small courtyards, it feels like entering a maze.

Finally, the three of them walked through several corridors and aisles before entering a deep and quiet courtyard deep in the inner house.

Zhang Kui and the round-faced maid led Chen Lie into a small living room, and then smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Chen waited, my lady will come in a moment."

Chen Lie responded again: "Oh."

Looking at the classical arrangements in this small living room, the famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, the bookshelf and the books piled up in the corners, Chen Lie couldn't help but smile bitterly again.

It's really hard to see her.

After a while, listening to the soft footsteps outside, Chen Lie hurriedly tidy up his clothes and greeted him, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.

Finally I saw...

Not far away, outside the semicircular arch, a beautiful woman in men's clothing in Confucian clothes walked up leisurely.

As soon as he saw Chen Lie, Zhang Jingxiu's bright and beautiful face showed a smile on his face.

“Yo.”

Zhang Jingxiu stopped in the yard, slapped the folding fan on his arm, and joked: "Isn't this the shopkeeper Shen? Brother Chen is here, and the humble house is so bright."

There is a hint of ridicule between the words.

Chen Lie had known that she would be ridiculed and had already made plans to please her, so he clasped his fists and bowed to the ground, and a smile appeared on his honest face.

The old face turned slightly red, and Chen Lie hurriedly smiled and said, "I dare not, I dare not. If my brother Jingxiu is a humble house, then wouldn't Chen live in a doghouse?"

To borrow three hundred taels.

It's not cold to be humble if you're a little humble.

Zhang Jingxiu looked at his silly appearance and couldn't help but smile. His bright and pretty face was full of pride and his spirit was flying.

He sneered a few more times.

Zhang Jingxiu gave up in disappointment, showed off his demeanor as a lady, and chuckled: "Brother Chen, please sit down, someone comes... to have tea."

Chen Lie hurriedly gave a humble gift, took a few steps back, sat on the Taishi chair made of small leaves, looked at the nose, looked at the heart, and acted as a gentleman.

The afterglow of the sunset shone in, shining on the shiny forehead, which seemed to have two big words engraved on it.

Clever!

Wait until Zhang Jingxiu sat down on the other side.

The maid served tea.

Zhang Kui looked at it secretly, quickly smoothed out the situation, and chuckled, "Shopkeeper Chen, your poetry is so popular. The second and fourth masters have read it these days. Several young masters all said that your poetry is so bold and envious. Among the poets of the world... it is the top three masters."

Chen Lie quickly pretended to be flattered, owed his body, and hurriedly said, "Shame, ashamed."

The two of them pretended.

Zhang Jingxiu looked at it from the side, smiled slightly, then opened the ivory fracture in his hand, and then fanned the wind for himself.

Only in this way did the atmosphere gradually become harmonious.

In tranquility.

Zhang Jingxiu looked at Shen Wei, who was as stupid as a bird, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Brother Chen is here, I must have entered the Three Treasures Palace for nothing."

Chen Lie was stunned and hurriedly denied: "Where, where."

She is indeed a smart and understanding woman.

This is seen through.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead again, and Chen Lie chuckled and said, "My brother is idle and has written a new poem. I will come to enjoy it with Jingxiu."
