After hearing Xue Shao's words, Zhang Zong also showed a thoughtful expression. The first news was fine. He had known for a long time that his father was a bachelor's degree. As for Chongxian Pavilion, it was an institution affiliated to the East Palace. It mainly trained talents for the prince and assisted him in handling government affairs in the future. Two bachelor's degree supervisors, but he did not expect that his father was one of these two bachelor's degrees.

The second news is even more intriguing. The flower garden under your feet was actually part of Furong Garden, which later became its own home. Furong Garden is also the property of the East Palace, and Chongxian Pavilion also belongs to the East Palace. Therefore, the most reasonable explanation is that this flower garden should be rewarded by the East Palace to his father, so that they can live here openly. But since their father was rewarded, why did he change from an official to a flower shop?

"Brother Shi, although my mother refuses to say it, don't worry. Since I promised you, I will naturally not go back on my word. I have already decided that I will go to the next door to inquire with my cousin tomorrow!" Xue Shao suddenly spoke again.

"Cousin?" Zhang Zong didn't react at first, and then he realized, "Are you talking about looking for the prince?"

"Yes, your flower garden is separated from Furong Garden. Furong Garden is my cousin's property. He must be clear about your affairs!" Xue Shao nodded naturally and said.

When Zhang Zong heard this, this is true. As the only neighbor around Furong Garden, the prince must know his own situation. Zhang Zong even doubted whether his father knew him. Maybe the flower garden was given to his father by the other party. After all, Furong Garden is the prince's property. Without him, who dared to send a yard out?

"But I think your mother doesn't seem to like the prince very much. You can go and ask the prince for any problem, right?" Zhang Zong suddenly asked with some concern.

"Brother Shi, please rest assured. Although my mother doesn't like my cousin, she does not prohibit the interaction between us younger generations. Moreover, my cousin still likes me very much. Not to mention Furong Garden, I can even go in and out of the East Palace at will. He even wants me to study at Chongxian Pavilion, but my mother is not very willing." Xue Shao explained with a smile.

Zhang Zong finally felt relieved when he heard this and immediately expressed his gratitude to Xue Shao again. In fact, he was very curious about the grudge between Princess Chengyang and the prince. However, considering that this might involve the secrets in the palace, Xue Shao did not take the initiative to talk about it, so he did not ask.

At this time, Xue Shao finally finished gnawing the chicken legs in his hand. He burped again and said with satisfaction: "I'm so full. Brother Shi, your skills are absolutely amazing. I've eaten most of Chang'an, but no restaurant can compare with Brother Shi!"

"Most half of Chang'an? Didn't you come back last year? You can eat most of Chang'an in such a short time?" Zhang Zong also asked with a smile when he heard this.

"Really, last year I returned to the capital and made a great wish to eat all Chang'an within a year. Now I have only been to a few shops in the southwest corner." Xue Shao said proudly with his chest thrust.

"Eat all Chang'an within a year." Zhang Zong was also amused and laughed when he heard this, "Then do you have any longer-term plans?"

"Yes, yes! I will eat all over Guanzhong within three years!"

"A little longer?"

"I'll eat all over the Tang Dynasty in this life!"

When Zhang Zong heard this, he was speechless at this foodie. After a while, he complained: "You are a royal relative, can you have some success?"

"There is no way, tasting the world's food is my greatest wish. I wonder what your plans are for the future, Brother Shi?" Xue Shao asked with a smile.

Zhang Zong also showed a thoughtful expression when he heard this. After a moment, he spoke: "I owed Xu Yalang money before, so my biggest wish is to make money quickly and then pay it back!"

"What about now?" Xue Shao asked curiously.

"Now?" Zhang Zong suddenly looked around in confusion, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "Now I plan to earn more money and then renovate the house at home!"

"Tsk~ Brother Shi, you are not much better than me. After renovating the house, do you still plan to get married and have children?" Xue Shaoben thought Zhang Zong had some long-term plans, but he didn't expect that he just wanted to make money to build the house.

"This is something you can consider. What kind of wife do you think I can marry? Is she a peerless beauty or a good wife and mother?" When it comes to marrying a wife, Zhang Zong also fell into yy, just like some elementary school students in later generations who always worry about whether they go to Tsinghua University or Peking University in the future.

However, at this time Xue Shao seemed to have thought of something again, and immediately interrupted Zhang Zong's fantasy and said, "Brother Shi, do you remember when we fell into the water that day?"

"Of course I remember!" Zhang Zong rubbed his face to wake up, "I was just about to ask you, whose boat we hit into the water in Qujiangchi that day, why was it so arrogant?"

"It's the ship of King Xu Li Mao's family. His father is the tenth son of Emperor Gaozu. I have to call him cousin. After the accident, he was taken back by Zongzheng Temple for trial." Xue Shao also gritted his teeth when he mentioned the person who caused him to fall into the water.

"What can the result be found if it is just a trial by Zongzheng Temple?" Zhang Zong said a little dissatisfied when he heard this. He did not expect that the person who hit the person was a royal family. Although Zongzheng Temple has the power to restrain the royal family, generally even if the royal family commits a crime, they will not be punished too much. This is also one of the privileges of the royal family.

"Hehe, although there were many people who fell into the water that day, there were no dead people. If it were in normal times, I'm afraid King Xu would just be scolded and then stayed behind closed doors and thought about it for a few days. But who told him to provoke my mother? The next day after falling into the water, my mother asked me to lie on a stretcher and carried me into the palace to meet my uncle. As a result, King Xu's legs were interrupted by Zongzheng Temple that afternoon."

"The eldest princess is mighty!" Zhang Zong finally felt anger when he heard this and immediately praised.

"Actually, our incident is just an introduction. King Xu had done something wrong in Chang'an and offended many people. A few days ago, Zongzheng Temple found a major case, that was King Xu's father-killing case. It was just that King Xu killed his father in order to occupy his father's concubine. Now Dali Temple is being tried, and he is probably the prince who has done his best and may even be unable to save his life." Xue Shao spoke again at this time.

Zhang Zong was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that King Xu was so ruthless. He even dared to kill his own father for the sake of a woman. But it was not surprising that the Li Tang clan was famously indifferent and ruthless. Not to mention anything else, just in the alternation of the throne, father and son, brothers, mother and son, etc., a series of human tragedies were staged one after another. King Xu's killing his father can be regarded as inheriting the family tradition.

After complaining about the traditions of the old Li family, Zhang Zong talked to Xue Shao about the gossip of King Xu. It was getting late at this time, and Xue Shao also said goodbye and left. Zhang Zong personally sent him out and then came back to clean up the mess.

Although Zhang Zong cooked a lot of dishes today, he was a poor man, and he almost didn't have much leftovers of eight dishes and one soup. He poured the leftovers into a large jar. This jar was made of fertilization. Speaking of which, Zhang Zong's family had the most shortcomings of all kinds of large jars. Except for fertilization, the rest were filled with water. Because the groundwater was too cool, it was not good for watering flowers with well water directly. It needed to be poured into the water tank and let it sit for a while before watering the flowers.

However, leftovers are easy to deal with, but the ingredients left in the kitchen are not easy to preserve. Xue Shao bought too much meat. Not to mention anything else, two lamb legs only ate a small part, and the weather is so hot, if you don’t deal with it, you will probably smell bad in the whole night.
