Straight man of steel

Chapter 226 Let me come

Although Zhang Yuan's face was full of smiles, his heart felt bitter.

Before finally jumping out of the pit in Tingwei's Mansion, now he jumped into the big pit of Zhongwei's Mansion.

Anyone who wants to be a court lieutenant has to pass through the middle lieutenant's mansion, this is Zhang Yuan's understanding.

The only good thing is that the current lieutenant Zhang Ou is a loyal and honest elder, just like the doctor Zhang Yuan had contact with from the beginning, Shi Jian.

The joy of returning from the great victory made Zhang Yuan and others drunk in the restaurants in Chang'an City.

The Marquis of Guannei didn't close the household or the country, which made the ceremony very simple, and Liu Che just said a few words and it was over.

If Wei Qing had been sealed as a lieutenant, the situation would have been completely different.

If Zhang Yuan were to go through the etiquette procedures up and down, he would definitely be impatient.

Thanks to the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor, Zhang Yuan and the others had a half-month vacation. Early the next morning, Zhang Yuan whipped his horse and wanted to rush back to his home at the foot of Lantian Mountain.

In the fields in spring, there are farmers and servants working everywhere, and there are hardworking Hanshui everywhere.

But in the distance from Chang'an City to Lantian Mountain, there are weeds and thorns, and the originally fertile land has gradually become barren.

There are no pedestrians that can be seen everywhere on the road, let alone livestock wandering around.

If animals such as cattle and sheep are kept in the boundary of Shanglinyuan, they will probably be devoured by wild beasts, and there will be no bones left.

Zhang Yuan could only see the normal scene when he got close to the field of his home.

The family is rich, and they were taken care of by the officials when they went out to fight. Everyone in the Zhang family had smiles on their faces.

The rough work of plowing the land is also done by big animals, and the tenants are just holding the plow in the back, and some young kids are picking up weeds and rocks behind them.

"The Patriarch is back! The Patriarch is back!"

As soon as Zhang Yuan appeared in the sight of everyone riding a horse, he could hear the sound of cheers.

After hearing the familiar and friendly voice, Zhang Yuan waved his horsewhip fiercely a few times, speeding up and running towards home.

When Zhang Yuan just arrived at the door, almost everyone in the family gathered outside the door, looking forward to Zhang Yuan's return.

"What's the matter, it's not like you haven't traveled far, as for?"

Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

As a result, Xiao Qing burst into tears, stepped forward to hug Zhang Yuan, and then looked around.

"Young master, you are not injured this time, are you?
The servant girl heard that many people died, are you all right? "

Zhang Yuan spread out his hands and let Xiaoqing touch them casually.

"Let's not talk about being injured, those Xiongnu thieves didn't even touch the hem of my clothes, my lord."

"It's good that you're fine, Xiaoqing, get out of the way quickly and let the Patriarch go in, there are still nobles waiting in the mansion."

Lao Zhao stepped forward and pulled Xiao Qing away and said.

So everyone made way for Zhang Yuan to go in. When passing by Zhuo Wenjun, Zhang Yuan nodded slightly to her, and then entered the house.

"Lieutenant Cheng, you are back.

Xiaguan has been waiting for you since yesterday evening. "

Two people walked towards Zhang Yuan, leading several waiters.

Zhang Yuan didn't know these people well, but they looked like they should have official status.

"What are you guys waiting for me to do?"

The person who talked to Zhang Yuan before took a piece of silk from the hand of the waiter behind him, and said to Zhang Yuan with a smile.

"Xiaguan is the guest of the prime minister's mansion. When you visited the prime minister before, Xiaguan saw your majestic body from a distance. Now that I see it up close, I feel that it is extraordinary."

Zhang Yuan was a little embarrassed, and quickly stretched out his hand and said.

"Stop, stop, sir, let's talk business."

The visitor from the prime minister's mansion immediately said seriously.

"What Lieutenant Cheng said was that we have already delayed for a day, so let's talk about business first.

The purpose of coming here this time is to announce your intention to join the Jue Shao Shang Zao. This is Mr. Zhong Liang who is here to greet you. "

After Zhang Yuan listened, he bowed to the person next to the visitor in the prime minister's mansion. After a closer look, he found that it was a woman in official uniform.

The bun is well-dressed like a man, and with the loose robes, it is really hard to tell the gender without looking carefully.

The beloved is a court lady, which is actually equivalent to Liu Che's concubine. Zhang Yuan can only pay attention but dare not pay more attention.

Only the emperor announced the rewards yesterday, and what was handed over to Zhang Yuan yesterday was only the official uniform and seal of Lieutenant Cheng. Except for Liehou, the other high-ranking titles were all awarded at home, and the eight nobles of the people were only recorded in various government offices.

Also rewarded were thirty bolts of silk, twenty dendrobiums of gold, thirty dendrobiums of platinum, one hundred thousand copper coins, a carriage, and a set of official uniform boots made by Shaoshang.

The visitor from the prime minister's mansion wanted to get closer to Zhang Yuan, but it was already a bit of a violation of the rules for a beloved man in the palace to stay in Zhang Yuan's mansion for a day, so after reading the decree, the two left immediately with a group of attendants up.

"Congratulations to the head of the family for joining Jue Shaoshang. In the future, when the servants of our family go to Lantian County, even the county magistrate will not dare to make things difficult."

"That's right, the Patriarch is still Lieutenant Cheng. Where is the Lieutenant's Mansion? The place in charge of the defense of Chang'an City, our patriarch is Lieutenant Cheng. Even if we go to Chang'an in the future, we will be straighter than others."

There were constant flattery and flattery, Zhang Yuan didn't like it, but he didn't stop it.

There are rare times of great joy in the family, and now a triumphant return is a good thing worthy of celebration.

"Old Zhao, let everyone in the family eat some good food in the past three days, and each will be rewarded with a hundred coins to congratulate the Han army on their triumphant return."

Old Zhao's eyes were so narrowed that there was only a slit in his smile, he hurriedly bowed and agreed, and then took someone to the warehouse to move the money.

The only person who was angry was Xiaoqing. Whenever the Zhang family gave out money, she was always unhappy.

If all the money is in the warehouse, she can go in and touch it whenever she wants, wishing she could lie on the money box and sleep every day, but once it is sent out, Xiaoqing will not let Xiaoqing touch the money from other people's houses.

"I'm quite tired from this expedition."

Zhuo Wenjun suddenly asked Zhang Yuan, as if she could see through Zhang Yuan's eyes.

Zhang Yuan put away the smile on his face, sighed and said.

"Such a long period of military life, sleeping in the military tent all day, and spending most of the day on horseback, if you don't withdraw from Yanmen County.

My two big waists may be gone. "

As he spoke, Zhang Yuan supported his waist with both hands, and even did some exercises. All of a sudden, his whole body was crackling, which made him feel much more comfortable.

"Xiaoya, come to the owner's room and give me a good massage.

Those stinky men in the army are stronger than cows, and they are about to be crushed by the Patriarch. "

Xiaoya blushed and wanted to follow Zhang Yuan into the main building, but was stopped by Zhuo Wenjun.

"I'll still come."

Zhang Yuan was taken aback, but still nodded.
