Chapter 558: Something to Ask For
"This is it!"
Fang Qing dragged the helpless Fourth Master Hua on his face, trying his best not to look at Yue Shanchang, who was sinking like water, and shouted angrily: "I heard this morning that Dr. Zhang is here to meet guests, that Ah Liu must have brought Brother Song here!" He didn't care that Thirty-Seven Twenty-One suddenly took someone to kidnap, there must be something......"
As early as when Fang Qing stopped the car, when he heard the three words Yuehualou, Fourth Master Hua didn't want to come at all, but Shan Chang Yue happened to come to visit him, and since the person who was traveling with the car said that he wanted to come over to have a look, he didn't even care about the delicate relationship between him and Fang Qing in the rumors, so he could only agree hard. At this moment, seeing clearly the soldiers of the sharp cavalry battalion guarding around, he had an even more headache.
At this time, he still saw Yue Shan calmly walking forward to negotiate with those soldiers, hoping to enter Yuehua Tower, even after being politely refused, he was still taking the trouble to reason with people. That's it, he quickly understood why Yue Shanchang would draw a line with Fang Qing, a stunned young man, on the recruitment day of the Nine Chapters Hall of the Guozijian that day.
Because this young and vigorous Fang Juren, when he saw those really sharp cavalry battalion soldiers speaking politely, but not to mention who was in Yuehua Tower at this time, let alone letting them approach, he actually shouted: "Song bastard, Song bastard, if you are here, as long as you are not gagged, you will squeak!" β
At this moment, Fourth Master Hua couldn't help but regret his intestines, why did he want to see Yue Shanchang because of the recommendation of the head of the Song Guild of the Guangdong Guild Hall? If you don't see Yue Shanchang, even if he provokes this stunned young man who is blocking the way, he can still ignore idle things!
The next moment, he heard a voice from upstairs: "It's really a VIP gathering in Yuehua Building today!" Ah Liu, it's all your fault, why don't you hurry down and greet me with you! β
Fang Qing looked up and saw the window on the second floor, Zhang Shou smiled and bowed, and behind the person, Ah Liu showed half of his head, and glanced at him condescendingly, he was stunned. When he saw that Song Juren on the side also poked his head out and gestured to him as if he was killing a chicken and wiping his neck, he immediately realized that he was afraid that he had made a mistake again.
Sure enough, when Zhang Shou took Ah Liu down, it only took a few words to explain the causes and consequences of Ah Liu taking Song Juren to see Yang Zhan because he was in a hurry, and even Song Juren himself laughed dryly to explain. At this moment, Fang Qing, who saw a Chinese character on the way and stopped the car to move the fourth master of Hua, the rescuer, only felt that he was really stupid at the moment.
If it weren't for the fact that Song Bastard and Song Huishou were nominally relatives, they would have actually fallen out, that is, Hua Siye, who was said to have interceded with Song Juren in the Xinglong Tea House, seemed to be a Confucian businessman with an ancient way, and when he saw the carriage with Chinese characters written on it on the way, he would not have pounced on it to intercept and call for help, let alone ...... Just like that, I met the mentor Yue Shan who happened to be traveling in the same car!
Fang Qing couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and after Zhang Shou briefly explained what happened, he shook his hand at Hua Siye, who was playing a round game, but said to Song Juren with a smile: "Brother Song is really blessed to have a righteous friend like Fang Gongzi. You have to thank him well when you go back, don't let him down! β
Song Juren didn't know if Zhang Shou was ridiculing or telling the truth, so he could only be the only one for a while. However, Yue Shanchang asked thoughtfully: "Today is not the day of the rest of the country, and the second is not the day of the Yuehua Lou Literary Meeting, but the always diligent Dr. Zhang has appeared here, and there are so many soldiers of the Rui Cavalry Battalion guarding here, is there any important person upstairs?" β
"That's right, the third prince and Princess Yongping are here, and my fiancΓ©e is also here."
Zhang Shou didn't mince words, and when he saw that Hua Siye, who was originally depressed, instantly cheered up, he said with a smile: "Ah Liu has always done things simply and rudely, this time he is wrong, I apologize to Brother Song and Fang Gongzi for him." β
As soon as he gave up his hand, he saw Song Juren jump away directly, and Fang Qing was stunned and didn't dare to say anything, but he still carried out the apology to the end, and made a deep gesture, and then smiled at Yue Shanchang and Hua Siye: "Since you are here, the two of you come in and sit together?" I'm also a chaperone today, so it doesn't matter if I have two more chaperones. β
Hua Siye, who felt that this scene was so embarrassing that he couldn't wait to find an excuse to slip away immediately, but at this time, he couldn't help but agree repeatedly. can meet the future prince here, how can such a good thing be hidden?
And Chief Yue would not refuse Zhang Shou's invitation. In fact, the reason why he still followed Fang Qing to "meddle in things" after meeting Fang Qing was that he realized that there might be an article behind the three words Yuehualou. Yuehualou is almost synonymous with Princess Yongping, and since it is impossible for Zhang Shou to meet Princess Yongping privately, a certain truth behind this is about to come out.
Sure enough, when he and Fourth Master Hua followed Zhang Shou into the lobby on the first floor, they saw the third prince standing inside, and when they saw them, they politely bowed their heads. Even if he had seen this little prince from afar once in Jiuzhang Hall, but at this time, because of the news outside, he couldn't help but feel that the third prince did have the appearance of a prince.
With a majestic head, a tall posture, and a gentle and elegant look in his eyes and expressions, it can be said that this is the kind of prince that the scholars are most looking forward to, far better than the hypocritical and impulsive eldest prince and the irritable and impulsive second prince. Therefore, he couldn't help but raise his hands and give a long back.
The same is true of Fourth Master Hua, the number of courtesies is simply respectful. If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Taizu had gone to great lengths to abolish the usual prostrations in his daily life in the first few years of his reign, he would have even been eager to bow down to the ground as a sign of respect.
And the third prince has seen too many people in the past few days, and suddenly changed his face, at first he was inexplicably surprised, and then he was uncomfortable, and now he has felt numb. Therefore, at this moment, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Shou, who was indifferent, and couldn't help but think in his heart that only when Zhang Shou saw him, he was still as usual.
He didn't think that Zhang Shou should stop these two people out of the door at this time, so he said with a smile: "The third sister is seeing Mrs. Hong upstairs." Although there is a difference between men and women, there is a way that ambition is not in age, talent is not in men and women, since the two of them are in the meeting, let's go upstairs together. After all, the third sister and Mrs. Hong are both people with big gaps in their chests. β
The third prince expressed respect for Princess Yongping, and Yue Shanchang and Fourth Master Hua could understand.
As a young brother, he should have admired the imperial sister, but it is not normal for the Hong family to make such a high evaluation. Moreover, Princess Yongping came to see the Hong family, which was a normal meeting between the princess and the princess's attendant, but did she need the three princes to accompany her? If the third prince is older than Princess Yongping, and if the Hong family is a peerless beauty of the same age, the two look at each other about the same!
But this is obviously impossible! So, what is the reason for this today? Moreover, why are there Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying on the side?
Not to mention that Fourth Master Hua couldn't think clearly for a while, even the conceited and wise Yue Shanchang didn't figure it out either. However, this did not delay the two of them from following the three princes and Zhang Shou up the ladder. At this time, Song Juren, who pulled Fang Qing in, found that there was one person left here, and it was Ah Liu.
Ah Liu did not immediately follow Zhang Shou upstairs, but smiled meaninglessly at this difficult brother. He never smiled often, but at this time, this deliberate smile did not appear very kind, but seemed a little terrifying, at least in the eyes of Fang Qing and Song Juren.
However, in the end, what Ah Liu said to them seemed very normal: "Yang Zhan was carried down by the shopkeeper and his men here to rescue, Song Gongzi and Fang Gongzi should go and help." Feel free to go upstairs in a while. β
Seeing that Ah Liu walked upstairs quickly after saying this, where would Fang Qing follow upstairs, he didn't feel that he could brush up his favor in front of the third prince at all. And Song Juren breathed a sigh of relief, and then patted Fang Qing's shoulder and said, "Crow's mouth, you are really righteous, you actually went to move the rescuers to save me!" Although I didn't save it in the end, even if the two of us were even, you won't owe me anything in the future! β
Fang Qingden was so angry that he smoked: "I owe you something!" β
"What is owed? Don't pretend to be garlic, you kid! If I hadn't picked you up, first of all, you wouldn't have a place to live; Secondly, with your mouth, I am afraid that someone will beat you to death; Third, you can't see the emperor; Fourth, you can't see ......."
"Alright, shut up for me! You're like a dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth! Annoyed and angry, Fang Qing only interrupted Song Juren's increasingly bizarre reckoning, and flicked his sleeves and went straight to find the person Ah Liu had just asked them to treat.
Although he told himself in his heart that he was not afraid of anything, reason still overrode his feelings at this moment, especially when he saw Yang Zhan who was in shape, and saw the shopkeeper and his buddies circling around, he couldn't help but gasp. This is even more true after hearing that Song Juren added oil and vinegar, said the credit for pouring sugar water into people, and repeated what Yang Zhan had just said.
After talking a lot, Song Juren really went to instruct the cook to make medicinal porridge, and he completely forgot that he had just fought with others. And when he came back after the point, he saw Fang Qing looking at the thin young man on the bed in a daze, he sighed.
"Although I just had a fight with this kid, it's really hard to think about him. What his father left him was a cave where crystals could be mined! But he was good, he was all defeated to grind some lenses, and as soon as something happened, the rest of the family wished that he would die in prison, so as not to spoil his property! β
"Tsk, what a big family, I can see through it!"
Fang Qing was stunned for a while, and then suddenly walked out without looking back. Song Juren was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly went up and dragged the person back: "What crazy happened to you!" I was just about to come in, why did I leave without saying a word at this time? β
"I'm going back to Zhangyuan to farm!" Fang Qing was impatient and wanted to get rid of Song Juren, but when he saw that he didn't let go, he said word by word, "You have to do things wholeheartedly." I'm going to give it a try, and if I farm in the shape of Yin and Yang Taiji, will I increase the yield......"
"Stop daydreaming!" This time, it was Song Juren who interrupted him impatiently, "Although your Zhaoming Academy attaches great importance to agriculture, and you are also from a poor family, but think about it yourself, since you showed your talent for reading, have your family let you farm?" In addition to knowing what rice and cotton look like, do you know how to sow seeds, plant seedlings, fertilize and weed, and harvest? β
"Do you know how farm tools should be improved? Know how to optimize the variety? Do you know how to intensively cultivate? Do you know how to divert water for irrigation? Song Juren, who had been enduring in front of the emperor that day, directly smashed Fang Qing dizzy with a series of questions, and then said with a tiger face, "If Tai Chi gossip can increase production, do you think so many people in the past and present would not have thought of it?" β
"Because I've never seen anyone so pedantic as you would believe in such a truth!"
Without waiting for Fang Qing to get mad, he said angrily: "If you don't believe it, you can try it!" If you really have a brain, you should remember the emperor's words well, prepare well for next year's exam, and don't make any more moths! β
"Even if your mountain chief is good at agriculture, you're not good at it! You are only suitable for being a clear stream that picks people's thorns, as long as the emperor on the throne is tolerant and elegant, don't be angry with you! β
When Song Juren and Fang Qing were arguing with each other, Yue Shanchang and Hua Siye, who went up to the third floor, saw Princess Yongping Zhu Ying and the three women of the Hong family.
"Someone recommended to my father that Mrs. Hong has a noble character and is extraordinary, so my father sent me to accompany my third brother to meet Mrs. Hong."
Although the words are not particularly straightforward, who are Yue Shanchang and Fourth Master Hua? They can break down every word and ponder it, and they suddenly understand that someone recommended the Hong family to be a teacher for the three princes!
Although they didn't know who the person who recommended it was, that didn't stop them from making associations. Anyway, it can't be Zhang Shou!
Although he was still young, the third prince noticed that there seemed to be some extraneous sounds in the imperial sister's words, and even noticed that the expressions of Yue Shanchang and Fourth Master Hua were different, and he suddenly glanced at Zhang Shou uneasily. When he saw Zhang Shou looking at him with a smile as always, he unconsciously gained confidence, and immediately opened his mouth calmly.
"Hong Niangzi has a good eye for pearls, and her talent is indeed extraordinary, I heard my father say, you are very good at ink landscape painting?"
The Hong family had already experienced the unconcealed hostility from Princess Yongping's attitude, and was feeling helpless, as soon as she heard the words of the third prince, she suddenly lifted her spirits. She didn't know how Chu Kuan recommended her, but since the third prince had already opened her mouth at this time, she followed this and said with a smile: "The third prince praised it falsely, the ink landscape of the concubine is actually very shallow. β
"The master who taught the concubine body is Master Xu of Yuzhang Academy, Tanhualang thirty years ago. The concubine only learned eight words from him, one of which is called qiyun; the second is the pattern; The third is shallow; Fourth, it is called hidden potential. β
"If you understand these eight words, you can get a landscape letter pen, and you don't need to be taught."
Hearing this, Zhang Shou couldn't help but sigh to himself. Not only used painting as a metaphor for people, but Hong also took advantage of the words of the three princes to show what he wanted!
