Chapter 20 The People of the Same Path
With the dedicated service of two palace maids with different ulterior motives, Zhang Lin was tidy and his style remained the same, not less than the previous two days.
After breakfast, two eunuchs were dragged by them to study and review various rules and etiquettes. Because they said that Master Jianzheng was not satisfied with the etiquette he performed, he thought he was the first meeting last time, so he was not punished. If he did not improve next time, he would be beaten.
When Zhang Lin heard about hitting the board, he had a headache. He was a man from modern times, with fine skin and tender flesh. How could he withstand such a heavy board? Therefore, he was serious and did everything he could do, and did not dare to neglect at all.
As soon as it was time to rest, Zhang Lin kept planning a plan to escape, seizing all possible opportunities to send people other than Xiao Liuzi away. However, he could only lead them away. If he wanted to send him out of the palace, he would not find such an opportunity for a while.
"Qi Bing Xiu Nan, Xue Ziyi, Xu Yang Palace, and Tian Dao, Xu Yang Palace, are visiting."
The eunuch Xiaowuzi walked in from outside with a smile and respectfully reported to Zhang Lin, who was planning a plan to escape.
"Who are they?" Zhang Lin raised his eyes from deep thought and asked lightly. Not only did he not know each other in the palace, but he even had no acquaintance in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, how could anyone visit?
"Like Xiu'an, they also entered the palace as Xiu'an. After being favored by His Majesty, they were named Fu Baolang and Julang respectively. Their identities in the palace were Qilang and Hachilang. Their ranks were both sixth ranks. Don't think that they were only sixth ranks, they were even more prominent and more majestic than the fourth rank." Xiaowuzi smiled and seized the opportunity to seize this lively case to induce Zhang Lin. It was a good intention.
Zhang Lin understood that these two people had already entered the threshold of their confrontation, and were rewarded and awarded official positions.
"No." Zhang Lin waved his hand. He didn't want to be a couple at all. Where did he meet these couples and get to know them? Besides, he wanted to plan his escape, so where would he have time to mess with these couples?
"Brother Zhang, why should I keep people from thousands of miles away?"
Before he finished speaking, two handsome men in gorgeous clothes, greasy and pink faces, combed with womb-shaped hairstyles, one hand-cranked folding fan, and the other holding a string of rosary, smiling happily, walked in casually, as if entering his own territory, without any politeness or restraint.
"Do I know you?" Zhang Lin asked expressionlessly, and did not get up to greet him.
"Meeting is fate, so why do you have to know each other..." The young man holding a folding fan looked full of spring breeze, as if he was a familiar person. "Xue Ziyi, Fubao Lang of Songyang Palace, was in the palace, and Qilang was ranked in the palace."
This person has fair skin, a gentle appearance, and is dressed in a colorful manner. He looks like a delicate and delicate woman, even speaking in a coquettish voice.
"Everyone is a fellow disciple, and he should know each other and support each other. In Xiaxuyang Palace, he lives in Tiandaogui, and is ranked as a Balang." The man holding a rosary bead smiled. His body was strong, his waist was wide, his back was thick, and he was full of energy in his words and masculinity, just like a kung fu teacher, but his clothes were also a womb-like appearance. If he didn't speak, he would be mistaken for a woman, but he was a tomboy.
Who is your fellow disciple? Zhang Lin really wanted to refute this, but he finally held it back because he felt that it would be meaningless to say too much.
Besides, if you cannot leave the palace, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not become a worshiper one day and you will not be too full of words.
If Wu Zetian adopted the powerful method of being a domineering king, and with his life-threatening character, it would be difficult to fight to the death. If Wu Zetian took insidious measures, such as taking sweat medicine in his meals, how could he be careful? What should he say at that time?
"Good luck!" Zhang Lin clasped his fists and took a quick look, as if he had a meeting ceremony, and then said in a stiff tone: "I wonder what the two of you have to do?"
"Is it expensive to do, but there is a joy." Xue Ziyi ignored Zhang Lin's stiff expression and spoke to himself. His face was rich, as if it was a natural and mature. "I brought a jar of good wine and a roasted whole lamb. We three brothers and we talked while eating and talking about life. Isn't this a pleasant pleasure?"
After saying that, Xue Ziyi turned around and looked outside the hall gate, slapped his hands and made a clear sound.
Two young eunuchs in green eunuch uniforms walked in happily carrying a roasted lamb squeakingly, and the fragrance suddenly filled the entire hall.
Following the two palace maids in green palace outfits, they carried in a jar of mellow wine with a pleasant smile.
No matter how much Zhang Lin wants to refuse, there is no reason. As the saying goes, don’t hit people with smiles. People bring wine and food to visit them, what else do you have to say?
Soon, the three of them sat around a round stone table in the front yard of Cuiyang Palace. While cutting the fragrant mutton with an exquisite and sharp knife, Hu Tianhai started talking in a big way, mainly two visitors talked about it, and Zhang Lin played a good listener.
During the chat, the two admitted that they voluntarily entered the palace to face the head, in order to gain wealth and glory. Shortly after entering the palace, they received the emperor's blessing and received the rewards they had liked. They were named Fu Baolang and Julang respectively, with the ranks of the sixth rank.
Of course, their current official positions only have glory and no real power, and belong to the remote leader. Because after entering the palace, they have no time to deal with political affairs and chores, and the emperor will not let them go outside the palace to mix with those secular people to deal with chores.
"Like our brothers, who have gained fame and wealth through male sex, should be unprecedented and never come later. Isn't it a great pleasure in life!" Qilang Xue Ziyi said with a smile, and after saying that, he took a deep sip of wine. It seems that this guy loves the job of a man, which makes Zhang Lin very despised.
"If you can get the special favor of Your Majesty, like Goro Liulang, one person, and above ten thousand people, even if you are a minister like the princes and prime ministers, you will have to bow your knees to worship! That is the highest level of life!"
Tian Daogui held his head up and his chest was raised, and his toes were arrogant and vivid, as if he had reached the height of Goro Rokuro.
Zhang Lin did not believe in Tian Daogui's words at all. How could a business that was despised by others be able to be bent on the knees and bent on his knees? It was too exaggerated. However, he did not express this idea.
Xue Tian and the others said a lot of wine and said everything, and they didn't seem to be on guard against Zhang Lin.
Then they talked about how to be favored and refined two extremely insightful key points, one depends on appearance and the other depends on posture, both of which are indispensable.
"The so-called appearance is naturally the more handsome you look, the better you are." Xue Ziyi told Zhang Lin that people in the martial arts world have created a list of beautiful men in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the harem worshipers are on the list, and he ranks 49th on the list.
"There are also the list of beautiful men?" Zhang Lin was very surprised.
"Yes." Xue Ziyi nodded leisurely while hesitating and gnawing on the mutton.
Tian Daogui took a sip of wine, raised his hand and tucked the braid hanging on his face, and said proudly: "I'm so proud to be on the 36th."
Zhang Lin felt very strange. In his opinion, Xue Ziyi's appearance is better than Tian Daogui's. Why did their rankings turn the other way around? It seems that the aesthetic concepts of the people of the Tang Dynasty are different from those of themselves. Although he thought so in his mind, he did not express it.
"Do you know which place the surveillance officer ranks?" Xue Ziyi approached Zhang Lin and asked in a low voice.
"Which one?"
“Twenty-nine.”
"oh."
