"Why did second brother call me?" Zhang Bai asked as soon as he entered the study, following Zhang Zhi.

Zhang Zhi didn't answer. He reached out and closed the door first, and then said, "I have a big matter to discuss with you."

Zhang Bai was confused.

"A few days ago, my eldest brother Zhang Wen arranged a marriage for you, did you know?"

It turned out that this was the case, and Zhang Bai was greatly shocked.

"Uh... well... I'm still young? Besides... a man should put his career first, so... this is why..."

Zhang Zhi laughed and said, "Don't be embarrassed! You are already 15 years old, so you are not too young. Let's get married first and talk about the future later."

"This..." Zhang Bai gritted his teeth and seemed to have no choice but to say it.

"Second brother, I will tell you the truth. When I was in Shu Kingdom, I was favored by Prime Minister Zhuge Kongming, who granted me the post of General Xingye and the Prime Minister of the Shaofu. I came to Wu County to pay homage to my hometown. My parents and ancestors are reunited with their relatives. Secondly, I also want to express my ambitions to my two brothers."

Zhang Zhi was surprised and regretful when he heard this.Surprisingly, Zhang Bai already had a broad career at a young age, and the Zhang family of Wu County gradually formed a branch in the Shu Han Dynasty.Unfortunately, Wolong did not expect that Wolong would take the lead and pull Zhang Bai into the Shu camp.

"So that's it. The third brother's career is prosperous. This is a good thing and a blessing for the Zhang family. However, the country of Shu is weak. With only one state in Yizhou, how can it be possible to restore the thirteen states of the Han family? The third brother is in Shu. How should we deal with ourselves in the future?”

Zhang Bai smiled and said: "The Shu Han Kingdom is weak. In my opinion, it is the place where I need to display my talents. In the past few days, I have been visiting my homeland and thinking about the Han Dynasty. After comparing the two, I have made a decision."

"How to decide?"

"Wu and Shu both have the same wealthy appearance and similar talents. The difference is the foundation of the family. The four surnames of Wu are Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang. The big family leads the small family, and the order is in order. The Shu and Han are very different. Han ministers are His Han ministers and Shu ministers are his Shu ministers, and no one of them is a loyal minister."

The two laughed.

After a while, Zhang Zhi stopped laughing and said, "Since you know the situation in Shu, why do you still want to be their official?"

"Of course it's because Shu has more opportunities to show off its talents."

"Nowadays, around Prime Minister Zhuge, except for Liu Ba, Ma Di, and Yang Yi, the others are either similar in appearance and different in spirit, or they are at different ends. Sometimes they are Han ministers, sometimes they are Shu ministers. In my opinion, the Jingxiang gentry supports Kong Ming, while the Shu people The nobles are more supportive of Liu Chan."

"So although I can't say that Shu Han needs me, I am sure that Kong Ming needs me. Unlike the Wu Kingdom, although the Jiangdong surname is strong now, the Sun family's suspicion is growing. He is a fierce man, and sooner or later some of the Jiangdong surnames will be harmed by him. , I, the Zhang family, must not stand out and cause disaster, and therefore I do not want to stay in the Kingdom of Wu."

"That makes sense!" Zhang Zhi nodded frequently, but it didn't take long for him to suddenly come to his senses.

"Eh? We're talking about your marriage! Where did you get it?"

Zhang Bai was greatly embarrassed and said softly: "It turns out that second brother hasn't forgotten this yet!"

"Slippery! Once you are married, the Kingdom of Shu and Wu will go with you."

"Also, you kid, you don't know who the other party is! Let me tell you, it's the Lu family of Gu Lu and Zhu Zhang you mentioned. How about it? It's worthy of you!"

"Ah...this!"

"What about this and that? This is the marriage that the eldest brother said. If your parents are no longer here, the eldest brother is your father. Don't do anything disobedient!"

Zhang Bai thought to himself, I am thinking about disobedience, what can you do to me?

"That's it! Second brother, look, it's too hasty, and I haven't met the girl, so I might as well postpone it a little bit!"

"Humph! You are trying to evade this in every possible way. Do you already have a sweetheart? To be honest, my second brother doesn't blame you."

Zhang Bai felt bitter, but Zhang Bai felt that he should just say it!

"To tell you the truth, second brother, there is indeed one. This woman has saved my life. I have feelings and righteousness with her, and I dare not break my oath." Then Zhang Bai picked out the affairs between himself and Mu Jing, and chose Zhang Bai. I can probably understand it, so I tried my best to explain it.

The main reason is to let Zhang Zhi understand that Mu Jing has a favor and agreement with him, and he does not want to do things that favor the new and dislike the old.

Zhang Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "You keep your promises and you are a good boy. But what's the difficulty in solving this matter? That woman shouldn't be a girl from aristocratic family, right? In this case, you only need to bring him into your house. You will be a man." Having three wives and four concubines is really commonplace.”

ah?Does this mean you want Mu Jing to be your concubine?Zhang Bai's heart trembled. As expected of his second brother, he actually said such bold words. If Mu Jing, the mysterious immortal, found out about this, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"This... second brother, you don't understand..."

While Zhang Bai was imagining what Mu Jing would do to this cheap second brother, would he use the moon realm technique to drive him crazy, or would he lock him in the dream world and scare him to death?

On the other hand, he is still preparing to continue his defense.

But Zhang Zhi refused to say anything.

"Since ancient times, you should stop talking about marriage, parents' orders, and matchmaker's words. Listen to your brother in everything."

All right!Zhang Bai was speechless and thought to himself: "I'll just run if I have to. I hope you don't go further and further down the road of seeking death."

Seeing that Zhang Bai finally stopped talking, Zhang Zhi thought he had succeeded and was in a happy mood, "It just so happens that you are back. Tomorrow we brothers will go to the Gu family together."

"Gu family?" What is this?

"Gu Cheng from the Gu family is your brother-in-law, and we are all outsiders. Your second sister Su Han is Gu Cheng's wife, because when I heard that you were coming home, she

I have always wanted to meet you. There is supposed to be a meeting of the Qing Dynasty tomorrow. At the right time, when all the wise men have arrived, you can meet the wise men. "

Clear discussion?Zhang Bai was startled, this was a romantic man from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, very famous, definitely worth seeing.

"So that's it. Thank you second brother for your support. I was just wanting to see this grand meeting of the Qing Dynasty!"

Zhang Zhi laughed out loud when he saw Zhang Bai's excitement, feeling very happy in his heart.

The next day was sunny, the wind was gentle and the weather was clear.

Outside the gate of the Gu family's house, there are cars and horses.

It is no exaggeration to say that all talents come together.

Not only did the four surnames of Wu come, Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang, but also the four surnames of Yu, Wei, Kong, and Xie from Kuaiji. There were also the emerging He family, Lujiang Zhou family, and Wuxing Shen family who also came from Kuaiji. The Lanling Xiao family and others.

In this Qing meeting, there were many people who were as young as Zhang Bai. Most of them listened politely and seemed to be here to listen and learn.

Zhang Zhi and Zhang Bai met their acquaintances one by one, and the process was lengthy.After the ceremony, the true nature of the celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties was exposed, and everyone began to get up casually, lie down or lie down, and call friends.

They formed separate parties and set up "talking points" in groups. What they discussed did not involve how to govern the country, or how to strengthen the army and enrich the people, let alone anyone's outstanding political achievements and other mundane matters. Most of them were issues of metaphysics and principles.

The host and guest asked each other questions, and the conversation was sharp. Those who did not participate in the debate were either helping the discussion or watching from the sidelines, and they were also very interested.

Zhang Zhi was a master of Qing Dynasty theory and had already joined the "Talk and Sit". Zhang Bai felt a little bored, so he wandered around and looked at Western scenes.

"Zhang Bai! Is this Zhang Bai and Zhang Enpei? Good boy, please return my things."

Suddenly someone grabbed his sleeve, which startled Zhang Bai.
