Xue Chongxiu took the New Year gift with care to Luoyang with the team returning to Beijing. As he thought that when he was halfway through the road, heavy snow began in Youzhou.

On snowy days, Zhang Changzong didn't practice, but went to the camp to inspect the soldiers' warmth and heat. Seeing that there was no problem, he came back to rest. He just took off his cloak and sat down next to the smoke cage. His hands were not hot yet, Xue Chongxiu handed over a post.

Zhang Changzong looked down and was surprised: "Add the invitation to the Xuewen Club? I, a general who led the army, invited me to attend the Wenwen Club... Is this a split in my mind?"

This is what he said! Xue Chongxiu couldn't help but smile and reminded: "Although we know what's going on, can Lianhualang have a little bit of a talented self-awareness? With your reputation as a world-renowned literary name, if you have any literary talent, wouldn't you underestimate you? If you are unwilling to accept your heart and hold grudges, how can you get along in the future?"

Zhang Changzong was stunned. He had led many troops recently and almost forgot his talented personality. After being reminded by Xue Chongxiu, he laughed embarrassedly and said with awkward smile: "Look at me, I have forgotten after staying in the military camp for a long time. According to my personality, I am standing in Youzhou. In order to build a harmonious Youzhou together, I have to invite me. I also have to give the Taoist temple some face to the governor Guo who came from Yangqu Guo."

Xue Chongxiu was eating roasted pears in a smoked cage, and said while turning them over: "We are just a newcomer. You were busy scheming the army two months ago, and I was busy settling down. Except for the welcome banquet prepared by the governor at the beginning, I basically never socialized. We are all idle in winter and it's time to socialize."

Zhang Changzong nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Then I really have to participate in this article."

Seeing that Xue Chongxiu had baked a pear, he picked it up and put it on a small plate and handed it to Zhang Changzong. Seeing that he was so hot that he grinned and still had a happy look on his face, his eyes couldn't help but soften. He looked at him with a smile, and occasionally wiped his mouth and face with a handkerchief, but he even looked happy and happy.

She was so shy of Zhang Changzong's shameless person. Xue Chongxiu still looked like a girl, but her eyes were very defensive. When she looked at people, she could look so arrogant. Oh, she could feel drunk even if she had a roasted pear!

Xue Chongxiu saw him bowing his head and chewing the roasted pears seriously, putting down a handkerchief with some juice, and letting the servant take it away, and said, "I have been thinking about it these days. Although you say we don't have to be wronged to deal with each other, since we have to stay in Youzhou, we must be more sociable, otherwise, we will be reluctant to be restrained when we have something to do. It is better to have a relationship with the local area, and it will be more convenient for you to do things. It's just that the main celebrity is your birthday. I think, we will hold a banquet together and invite people to come to the house to have a gathering?"

Zhang Changzong naturally knew the importance of communication, but there was a question to be clarified: "When the dynasty, there must be banquets in the officialdom. After the dynasty for a few days, can you be busy with it?"

Xue Chongxiu smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, I have enough people. I don't think the servants left in this mansion looked very reliable. I happened to inquire about it, find a reliable tooth woman, and send some slutty people to use. The people we bring will be responsible for personal affairs."

"Okay, the heroine will listen to you, you can do it."

In the general's mansion, the couple were discussing social engagements. In the governor's mansion, the governor Guo Zhengting and his wife Xue were also discussing. In previous years, everyone was in Youzhou. Although they were in a remote place and were actually a bitter and cold place, Guo Zhengting was in the position of governor. The chief of a state had a hard time except for the two years of his time, and after the adjustment was made, his life was very smooth.

However, now, this happy day is over, and I don’t know what Your Majesty is thinking. I just put a young marching chief over everyone’s heads for nothing... How to get along with him, Guo Zhengting has a headache.

"Master, the letter from home has been sent."

As soon as he returned home, the housekeeper handed him the letter from the house. Guo Zhengting looked at it in a slight manner, without saying anything, and then silently read it, and then said, "I'll go to my wife's place."

Xin walked into the inner courtyard, where Xue's family had a pair of children talking with her. When they saw him coming in, their children hurriedly saluted: "I've seen my father."

Xue stood up and said, "The master is back? The soup in the kitchen should be ready. I'll ask someone to bring it to you?"

Guo Zhengting nodded, not caring about admonishing his children, but just handed over the letter: "This is the letter from the clan I received today, so my wife can also see it."

Xue was slightly surprised and took the letter and looked at it. When Xue saw the letter, Guo Zhengting glanced at the eldest son and asked, "Why are you hanging out with your mother at this time? How are you reading the book?"

The eldest son Guo Yaoqing hurriedly said, "I came back to my father, of course I came after finishing my homework."

Guo Zhengting snorted slightly and scolded: "Don't think about taking the path of Yinfeng. If you don't have real talents and knowledge, you will not be able to go far even if you become an official."

Guo Yaoqing responded hurriedly: "Yes, my son obeys the order, father is so relieved. By the way, father, I heard that my father is going to hold a snow-rewarding ceremony, so he invited the Lotus Lang?"

Guo Zhengting was angry and immediately scolded: "Bastard! Can you call Lianhualang? I'm warning you for your father that if you meet the other person in the future, if the other person is kind and doesn't mind, you can call him uncle and nephew. If not, you must be called him by the general and treat him with the politeness of the elders. Don't do it, do you know?"

Guo Yaoqing was scolded so much that she wanted to run away with her head. If she hadn't been able to hold on in her heart, she would have run away long ago. She was scolded by her father and nodded repeatedly: "Hey, father, don't worry, is your son who is so unrestrained? You just shouted privately, and that kind of style and appearance. I don't know who gave him a nickname..."

The father glared back after the words. Guo Zhengting glared at him coldly and said, "Stop showing off these frivolous words to me outside. Lotus Lang, Lotus Lang... Do you know that there are only a few people in the court and the country who can call him this nickname in person in front of him. Even the Prince of the East Palace in front of him would call him Zhang Lang or be called him by ranking. People are talented men with real talents and knowledge, literary and martial arts. What about you? You are just a white-boy who cannot succeed in martial arts. What is the right to call him Lotus Lang?"

Guo Yaoqing was scolded as cowardly as a quail and shrank his neck and said, "Isn't my son just heard of Zhang Lang... Wow, General Zhang's reputation is admired in his heart. Do you want to know each other? How did his father belittle his son so much?"

At this time, Xue put down the letter and interrupted, "Dalang, your father is right. Let's forget about it today. However, if you go outside, you must not show any trace. This Lianhualang, one year younger than you, is not a person you can get along with, or even your father, you dare not take big things in front of him."

Guo Yaoqing was dumbfounded: "So amazing?"

Xue looked at Guo Zhengting, Guo Zhengting nodded, and Xue handed the letter to his eldest son and asked him to take a closer look—

The descendant of Zhang, a Zhongshan family and famous prime minister Zhang Xingcheng... This background is nothing, and he is not as noble as the Guo family in Yangqu, but he dare not be underestimated.

Guo Zhengting said: "No matter his literary talent, I will only talk about his master's teachings. Since I was a child, I have been a disciple of Shangguan Talented Girl in the palace and often go in and out of the palace. With the relationship between that Talent Girl and Your Majesty, Your Majesty treats him differently from others, and it is no wonder that he personally sent someone to reward him a few days ago. It turns out that there is such a close relationship inside."

The eldest daughter, who had been silent, blinked and said, "It is said that the talented woman is the first person who is proud to be close to His Majesty. This General Zhang has been a disciple of Shangguan since he was a child. Isn't it just like growing up in front of His Majesty? No wonder..."

No wonder His Majesty gave him a reward a few days ago. Instead of giving the reward to his residence in the capital, he ordered people to send it to Youzhou. This level of favor... few people in the Li and Wu family could match it.

Guo Zhengting only felt even more headache and turned his head to ask his wife: "That Princess Xin'an, does your clan girl mean to interact with us?"

Xue said: "Except for attending a banquet when I first came, I have never been there any other day. I said that I brought a lot of people and wanted to settle the crowd. However, on holidays, I also sent people to send festival gifts. A few days ago, His Majesty came to reward me and ordered people to send me some fruits, vegetables and good tribute satin from the capital, and also gave Ping'er a set of palace flowers, which looked like awesome."

Guo Zhengting nodded and said, "Since the princess is kind, we should have come and go. Now General Zhang has returned from patrol, and I think it's time to go out for socializing. You might as well pay attention. If you have the opportunity, you can invite our mansion or visit the general's mansion. It's not a matter of time and day, and it will always last for a long time."

Xue nodded and agreed: "But, I will note it down and I will pay attention."
