Chapter 148: Hope
For a group of big men in the Zhang family, they are always at a loss about this suddenly extra small life, but in their hearts... they seem to have something in this world.
Although Zhang Suhua and the Zhang family have no blood relationship, at least they have the names of father and daughter and brother and sister. The relationship that has been together for so many days is not fake!
Not to mention, this child was born as they watched.
Zhang Jingyi had a wonderful feeling, just like he had an extra connection in this world.
Deng Jian was even more excited to let himself go.
Zhang Tianlun seemed much more subtle, just cheering around. It was probably because someone in later generations learned that his daughter had a baby and then laughed foolishly and scattered smoke everywhere.
After a while, the woman came out with her baby in her arms.
When Zhang Tianlun saw this, he immediately said with concern: "Don't come out, don't come out, you will catch a cold, the child is so young."
Zhang Jing said, "Dad, you don't understand now. What's the cold weather in this hot summer?"
When I looked up, I saw a child who was only one circle older than a mouse in the cradle, tilting his head and snoring.
He is very quiet.
Obviously I was so tired that I just cried.
At this moment, he ignored everything around him and breathed, as if he didn't take everyone seriously.
Several heads have already come to me.
Wang Cheng grinned and said, "Don't say, he looks a bit like me."
"Nonsense." Deng Jian scolded Wang Cheng very well and worldly: "My third brother is a senior official, he should be like him."
Zhang Jingyi: “…”
Zhang Jingyi carefully observed the child's eyebrows and eyes and couldn't help but say, "I look a little like His Majesty."
"Ah, is that?"
After Zhang Jingyi reminded him, Deng Jian and Wang Cheng tried their best to observe and identify them very hard.
After a long time, Deng Jian said in surprise: "It's really the same. Look at this eye, this eyebrows, this nose, and especially this nose... Isn't this your Majesty? Oh, hurry up, put him in the ancestral hall, and we worship him, and we will show our loyalty."
Zhang Tianlun also found it strange, but when he heard that Deng Jian was about to throw his child away from the ancestral hall, he immediately glared at him and acted as if he wanted to hit him: "You dare!"
Zhang Jingyi could almost confirm that this was really carved from the same mold. For a moment, Zhang Jingyi was a little excited.
Deng Jian, who was standing beside him, said: "Why should he give him a name? What should he be surnamed Zhang? Otherwise, I am wronged and my surname is Deng."
Wang Cheng also nodded: "Yes, the child has no father, it's so pitiful, he doesn't even have a surname."
Zhang Jingyi made a quick decision and said, "Don't choose a name for now, just give it a nickname. What's the name?"
Deng Jian said without thinking: "Dog."
Wang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Erdan."
Zhang Tianlun also thought hard and thought, "How can he be called Erdan? He is not the second child, but... don't take a bad name. Although it is easy to support a bad name, our Zhang family is not going to promote this. As a father, I don't ask for anything else, I just want him to be healthy, so maybe... I'll call him immortality."
"Changsheng..." Zhang Jing nodded: "I will ask the girl later, and she nodded, and this matter will be settled."
Four people looked left and right.
Deng Jian was so happy that he danced with joy, but he was still regretting that Changsheng had no father. When he mentioned that father, Deng Jian couldn't help gritting his teeth: "That beast, dare not act like me, not like me..."
Zhang Tianlun has already started going home to get the red paper.
Wrapped a piece of red paper and stuffed it into the swaddle.
I worked so hard that I didn't go to bed until the sky was shining.
When Zhang Jingyi woke up, she was awakened by the baby's crying. She hurriedly took a look at Changsheng. She turned out to be hungry. Unfortunately, Zhang Jingyi couldn't feed her and left Zhang Suhua's bedroom. However, at this time, another eunuch came.
The eunuch's expression seemed to be dead parents.
Zhang Jing must be calm, hey, why is it you again?
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... urges me to ask, has the child been born? Is it a man or a woman?" The eunuch forced a smile.
Zhang Jing said: "Please go back and report that you have given birth to a mother and son, and you are a boy, hahaha..."
As Zhang Jing laughed loudly, the eunuch skillfully took out a piece of gold from his sleeve.
"Oh... I can't do it..." Zhang Jingyi collected the money: "I'm going to have a good time."
"Where is it?" the eunuch said with a forced smile: "The honor is so great. I will report it now. Yes, what is the name of the child?"
"There is no name for the time being, but there is a nickname called Changsheng."
After getting the answer, the eunuch hurried back.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Emperor Tianqi was energetic and full of ambition today. After practicing sword for a while, he returned to Qinzheng Hall to review the tickets.
When he saw the eunuch coming, he immediately showed joy: "What's wrong?"
The eunuch bowed and said, "I asked, it's a boy, and the mother and son are safe."
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Emperor Aoki made a strange voice.
Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "This is a happy event for the Zhang family."
Emperor Tianqi said excitedly: "The mother and son can be safe thanks to my excellent nursing skills. Otherwise, if Zhang Jingyi was confused, if he had no advice from me, the result would be unknown. In short, this is a happy event, and my heart is hanging down, so I can let go. Very good...what are your name?"
He looked at the eunuch.
The eunuch replied obediently: "Sister Zhang Shun."
"Zhang Shun..." Emperor Tianqi nodded: "Very good. In a few days, you will go to the Zhang family to help me ask what the mother's milk is, and whether she has hired another wet nurse. I will wait for you to report back then."
The eunuch named Zhang Shun turned green when he heard this. Let’s go there a few more trips, let alone having a good job of having a family for so many years. What’s the matter? If you cut yourself into the palace, we will pay for it!
"Why don't you talk?"
Zhang Shun then came back to his senses and kowtowed, "I obey the order."
Emperor Tianqi suddenly became fierce and suddenly remembered something again, and said, "I'll have Enko next month, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian said: "Now there are many juren coming to the capital, which is very lively and the literary spirit is suddenly full of energy. They write poems everywhere on the wall, or gather together to recite poems and write pairs..."
Emperor Tianqi said: "I'm afraid there are many of them, and they are all criticizing me."
Wei Zhongxian laughed dryly.
This is the default.
In fact, since the emergence of Donglin Academy, scholars from the Donglin School have gained a high degree of participation in national affairs.
In the past, scholars only talked occasionally when they were chatting.
But the purpose of Donglin Academy is what Gu Xiancheng advocates: the sound of wind and rain sounds and reading sounds are heard, and family affairs, national affairs and the world are in mind.
In fact, scholars are not allowed to care about national affairs.
But from a traditional perspective, the main entertainment activities of scholars in the Ming Dynasty for national affairs were to scold the emperor and the eunuch party.
Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "There is a man named Liu Ruozai who is from Anqing Prefecture, Nanzhili. He is very famous. Last year, Nanzhili imperial examinations, he won the first place, and was Huiyuan of Nanzhili. A few days ago, he was in the capital and ridiculed His Majesty..."
"Liu Ruozai?" Emperor Tianqi seemed unhappy and snorted coldly: "Hmph, what's the use of such a scholar?"
Wei Zhongxian said, "But he was a good exam. This time, people are rumored that this time, I'm afraid he will be the first place."
Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but sigh and said, "I didn't offend them, why did I scold me all the time?"
In fact, Emperor Tianqi was also helpless. He could not do anything to Liu Ruozai. If you send the factory guards to arrest him, he would make him famous all over the world. Not to mention the crimes you made, at least in the eyes of scholars all over the world, this person is upright and a righteous man.
But you turn a blind eye, and these people look upset.
Not only that, the emperor cannot influence the imperial examination. After all, even examiners were introduced by the ministers!
Even if Emperor Tianqi directly appointed the examiner, it would not affect the overall situation. No one dared to play tricks on the imperial examination.
In the final result, Emperor Tianqi seemed to be able to predict that this annoying person would eventually become a Jinshi, and then happily entered the Hanlin Academy, and then laughed at him as an emperor every day. If this person could still win the top scorer, it would be even more disgusting.
Thinking of this, Emperor Aoki suddenly felt bad.
Forget it, it’s better not to think about these things, but to think about something happy.
At this time, he said, "Parent Wei, in a few days, you have to send someone to the Zhang family to see if their house is strong or not."
Wei Zhongxian certainly understood why His Majesty was particularly concerned about Fang Liang, because the young prince at that time fell down because of the big explosion... which led to a tragedy.
But His Majesty was so concerned about the child of the Zhang family that he felt a little jealous, and he couldn't help but think so sadly, would His Majesty care so much if we had a child?
Thinking that way, Wei Zhongxian said naturally: "Yes."
Emperor Tianqi said, "Let Zhang Shun go, he is used to going. If he goes out, he will be afraid of scaring the child."
"yes."
...
Nowadays, many scholars have gathered in the capital, and there are many different opinions about this year's examination.
However, the people in the capital always have a bit of respect for scholars, so many people with silk and Confucian shirts are swaying, which inevitably attracts many people's special attention.
There is only one person, but he is dedicated to studying behind closed doors every day.
Guan Shaoning has changed into a new Lunhuang Confucian shirt, which is made of Zhang's cotton cloth. He cherishes this new outfit very much. Even when writing, he has to lift his long sleeves high, for fear that the ink will dye his sleeves black.
Life here is very simple. In addition to eating, drinking, and reading, Zhang Jingyi even bought a lot of books, all of which were materials for the exam.
This made Guan Shaoning even more grateful.
I can't help but sigh that there are such people in the world, and no one treats him so well in this life!
