Although the play of Twelve Rains is very novel and very different from the kind of drama where talents and beauties are reunited, where everyone's favorites are eclectic, the plot has ups and downs, and it is dominated by a few fireworks women from beginning to end, but after all, Chen Shang is faced with a difficult situation.
Shui is an official in the officialdom, so his eyes seem to linger on those beauties who are young and beautiful, but he is more focused on these disciples and grandchildren of Ge today.
Although Ding You has been at home for nearly three years, Chen Shang is very familiar with some of the faces.
The youngest son, Lu Wan, Secretary of the Ministry of War, always gnashes his teeth when mentioning it, and Lu Zhu, who was scolded as being fat. The only son of Duke Zhang Chuan of Qin, Zhang Chen, the unruly and often trouble-making representative. The two inconspicuous families of Nanyang Hou and Huaiqing Hou.
He only met Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, his concubines...
In addition, there are many Guijie disciples who are not notorious in the capital, but do not have much good reputation. It can be said that if these twenty or thirty people are pulled out today, countless people in the capital will have to take a detour.
But now, under the leadership of Zhang Chen and Lu Sanlang, some of these people were sitting there watching the show, while others actually took over the servants' job of serving tea and water. Their attentiveness and thoughtfulness were eye-catching.
Just unbelievable.
As for the poor people in Jiuzhangtang, they were not ordered around. Instead, under the arrangement of Lu Sanlang, everyone had a seat. Even each one of them seemed embarrassed. Not only did the precious disciples have no one in front of them.
Showing a arrogant attitude, on the contrary, there were people who replenished tea and water for them and joked with them at the same time.
Because he pricked up his ears, he naturally heard what Lu Sanlang said to the Jiuzhangtang supervisors in a slightly lowered voice: "In the past, in Jiuzhangtang, you all had to listen to me and Senior Brother Qi. Who is here?"
Dare you not listen? I ask you to sit down and sit down with confidence and enjoy the unique Twelve Rain Show in the capital. If it’s not Master Ge, you can’t even watch it!”
"This is to reward you for studying hard and studying diligently before, you know? It is also for those of you who are selected to go with Xiao Qi to practice it! Master Ge has me as the chief to serve him, so there is no need for you!"
Although Zhang Chen's voice was not as confident as Lu Sanlang's, it was still heard by Chen Shang, who was always paying attention to him.
"Don't you all envy Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu? Now that Chen Shangshu and the bosses are here, if you behave better, wouldn't it be a model of the prodigal son turning back? Those guys who are willing to be rich and idle at home are not here today.
Come on, this is the difference between you and them. If you want people who look down on you to look at you differently, cheer up now!"
And Chen Shang even heard that compared with Zhu Tingfang, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, Zhu Er, who had always been a representative figure of the dandy, actually took advantage of his free time to serve tea and water to talk to others in secret, and the topic of conversation was
He was even more incredible.
"Hey, have you finished the homework assigned before? Who did those arithmetic problems? At least share your ideas. I don't want to ask the fat guy from the Lu family...what? Didn't you do it? Damn it, you guys
Can't you just use your brain... Why didn't I do it? Of course I did! I've been thinking about it for countless days and still don't have a clue!"
"On the 18th day of the first lunar month, the Imperial Academy will start school. Before school starts, let's make an appointment to at least sort out these homeworks. Ignore those guys who don't want to make progress. We can't lose to that damn fat guy! I will do it next year.
I have to compete with Zhang Chen. If he can be the chief of the restaurant, why can't I? I can't let Zhang Chen take all the good things!"
Chen Shang initially felt that he was hearing hallucinations. But when he discovered that Zhu Er had actually linked up one by one, his intention to form a clique was very obvious, and the reason for forming a clique was not for anything else, but because he wanted to be the chief of the restaurant.
He even felt that the sun was rising in the west.
When will dandy boys gather in groups to sort out their homework before school starts? When will dandy boys take the rare chance of becoming a chief of the Imperial Academy?
Thinking of Zhang Shou who had just left Zhu Ying quietly, and the way he and Zhu Ying were paired together, he was clearly no different from a young man casually admiring a beauty, Chen Shang became even more curious.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a shout of applause coming from beside him. He turned his head and saw the voice of Li Yuan, the minister of the Ministry of Justice who was always quick-tempered. Following this voice, everyone was cheering.
The sound is endless.
Because he was too distracted, he barely noticed the plot. He didn't pay attention to what he just acted. He was a little embarrassed. When he was about to join the others in clasping hands and cheering, he found that Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying were one behind the other.
, actually came back!
Compared to Zhang Shou, who was calm and composed, Zhu Ying's face was flushed with joy, looking forward to Shenfei, wondering what kind of happy event he had encountered. But when he thought about it again, he ended up laughing.
Even a proud and arrogant young lady like Zhu Ying is no different from an ordinary young girl once she falls in love with a man. From this point of view, his mysterious little junior brother is indeed very capable.
Therefore, Chen Shang was too lazy to pretend that he was watching the play seriously, and simply stood up and went to greet Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying. Although his action was abrupt, most people were watching the play on the stage at this time, and only Lu, who was already familiar with the plot,
Sanlang, Zhang Chen and others curiously followed Chen Shang's direction and saw clearly that it was Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying who were leaving and returning. Lu Sanlang immediately withdrew his gaze.
Even if Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying avoid everyone and go out to fall in love, it's none of his business!
But Zhang Chen couldn't help but take a second look, especially Zhu Ying's joy and joy that showed from the inside out. He had almost never seen it. However, he immediately noticed Zhu Ying's gaze.
It fell on Zhang Shou more frequently than in the past, and there was clear emotion between his eyebrows and eyes.
Just last night, his father called him over and told him that someone planned to report Zhao Guogong's marriage fraud. After the initial shock, his first reaction was to immediately notify Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying, but his father stopped him directly.
Come down.
"Everyone is already ready to start. If you go and tell them now, apart from making people live a more miserable life, what else can it do? Do you dare to say that you are really like Lu Sanlang now, and you don't have the slightest delusion anymore?
If you're not so determined yet, you might as well wait until after the incident happens to see your little gentleman's reaction."
Thinking that he had sent people to pay attention to the activities at Shuntian Mansion Office when he got up early, Zhu Ying should have happened to encounter that incident when he came. Now that the tacit understanding between the two is better than before, how could Zhang Chen still not know about that incident?
Farce has no effect on these two people at all?
At that moment, he finally sighed in his heart, knowing that there was no hope for him.
As soon as Zhang Shou returned to the lobby, he glanced at everyone and found that most people, including Ge Yong, were watching this novel drama with great interest. He was relieved. As for whether anyone noticed him and
Zhu Ying's departure was not his biggest concern. However, he was a little surprised when he found Chen Shang walking towards the two of them.
At this time, Zhu Ying suddenly pulled his sleeve nervously and asked in a low voice: "Ah Shou, why did Chen Shangshu come here? Is it the makeup on my face?"
"Silly girl, why is the makeup on your face stained... Uh!" Zhang Shou received a glare from Zhu Ying, and then he understood what she meant, couldn't help laughing, and then said softly, "Maybe Chen Shangshu found out
, you are more beautiful than before."
If it were someone else, Zhu Ying would definitely have scolded her for being glib and kicked her hard to show her anger. But even if she realized that Zhang Shou was making fun of herself, she still couldn't get angry because at this moment
Her heart felt as sweet as honey.
"Junior brother." Chen Shang nodded slightly, saw Zhu Ying nodding to him with a smile, and then walked briskly to Ge Yong. Of course, he would not make fun of the young couple, but said with a smile.
, "I just watched the play Twelve Rains casually, but I observed your students carefully for a long time. I have to say that you changed them a lot."
Zhang Shou didn't expect Twelve Rain to have such great charm and charm a group of high-ranking officials, but Chen Shang actually cared more about the supervisors of Banshan Hall and Jiuzhang Hall. He was still a little surprised, and he laughed and said
: "I just try my best. The key is to look at themselves."
"Chen Shangshu, you have also seen that all the people from Jiuzhang Hall came, but only more than 20 people came from Banshan Hall. After all, not all the disciples of Guijie want to make progress, and some want to rely on the shadow of their ancestors to become
A rich and idle man. Just like in a forest, not every tree can become a talent, nor can everyone be a pillar. Qualifications, talents, and opportunities are all indispensable."
Zhang Shou spoke so frankly that Chen Shang originally wanted to remind him not to give too much hope to those noble disciples, in case they would complain when they were disappointed in the future, but now he felt that he did not need to mention it again.
At that moment, he nodded happily and said: "You can see so profoundly. No wonder the teacher once wrote to me with praises for you. When my junior brother wants to go to Zhao Guogong's mansion to propose marriage in the future, please remember to inform me.
If the teacher comes forward, that's all. If he doesn't go, I'm willing to be the matchmaker."
Zhang Shou did not expect that Chen Shang would be so proactive. Naturally, he would not say that Ge Yong had taken the initiative to take over the matter. He immediately clasped his fists and thanked: "Okay, then I will accept Chen Shangshu's favor!"
The two looked at each other and smiled. Chen Shang returned to his seat, while Zhang Shou went to Ge Yong's side. But he had just stood behind him, and Ge Yong looked down as if he had eyes behind his back.
He smiled and said: "You have really made enough of the limelight today! But that's what you should do. Who makes Zhang Chen, Lu San and other boys look like different people?"
"Teacher, you taught me well." Zhang Shouxiao glanced at Zhu Ying and saw that she was unconsciously wrapping her fingers around her moustache, clearly lost in thought, so he continued, "Teacher, Yingying just said to me
Something happened..."
Ge Yong is so old. He just had some dinner while watching a play. He has already asked people to take away all the food because he cherishes his health and happiness. At this time, he was originally thinking that Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying had just left.
Knowing where they were running, he wanted to ask the two of them if they were hungry, but when Zhang Shou said that Zhao Guogong and the Zhu family had been accused of marriage fraud, he couldn't help but frown.
"There are still people who are so boring? The Zhu family thinks you are good, and you and your mother think Yingying is good, so that's it. Just make up for a copy of the marriage certificate or something. Do they need to talk too much? Hold on after eating.
...No, it should be said that he has ulterior motives!"
Zhu Ying had already come to her senses when Zhang Shou said that someone was suing her family. At this time, she heard Ge Yong scornfully criticizing the mastermind behind the scenes. Not to mention that she had liked Ge Yong's demeanor and eccentric behavior since she was a child.
, even if she and Ge Yong had not dealt with each other, she would have immediately regarded the old man as a close friend. But before she could speak, Ge Yong was ahead of her again.
"Yingying, go home and tell your grandmother that when you became Ah Shou's teacher, it was your father who entrusted me to take care of your future son-in-law, so no one knows more about this marriage than me. Who would make irresponsible remarks?
, let someone come to me first!”
"Grandpa Ge, you are so kind!" Zhu Ying was overjoyed, but then she glanced at Zhang Shou, leaned close to Ge Yong's ear, and whispered, "Grandpa Ge, A Shou just told me that he likes it very much
I like him! Now I feel relieved, it turns out that I am not in unrequited love!"
After hearing this, Ge Yong saw Zhu Ying's gorgeous figure disappearing outside the door like a brisk butterfly. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then suddenly hooked his hands without looking back, waiting for Zhang Shou to step forward.
When he was next to him, he said with a half-smile but not a smile: "I used to think that you were a kid who didn't understand romance, but I didn't expect that when it comes to talking about love, you are actually quite good at it!"
"If I don't understand coquettishness, that's because for me, most people are not coquettish enough."
Zhang Shou said this with a smile. Seeing that Ge Yong was stunned for a moment, he then pointed at him with his finger, with a dumbfounded expression on his face. He said calmly: "In this life, it is rare to meet such a charming Yingying."
A pretty and generous beauty is just like when I encounter a blooming peony in the garden, I naturally cannot see the second flower."
"Okay, don't say this in front of me, just say it to your peony!"
Ge Yong waved his hands away with a look of disgust, and said angrily: "If you had the ability, you would still be so glib in front of your father-in-law!"
The scene of "Twelve Rains in Tingyu Xiaozhu" in Ge's Mansion was not performed too late, and ended before midnight. Ge Yong knew that he had snatched the appointment of the Duke of Chu. This was indeed a bit overbearing, so he sent the troops early
I went over to talk to the third master of the Zhang family, and they discussed postponing the scheduled singing and dancing for more than half an hour.
Therefore, although the housekeeper of the Zhang family who came to pick him up was a little depressed, he knew that the Ge Mansion was full of guests tonight. Thinking that his master was still in the Xuan Mansion and had not returned, his military exploits this time were not as outstanding as those of Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing.
He swallowed his anger. Especially when he learned that Ge Yong was so arrogant that he directly handwritten a volume of Jiang Chengzi's "Twelve Rains", he didn't even dare to express his anger at these singing girls.
Who doesn’t know that Taishi Ge’s handwriting was everywhere in the early years, but now it is treasured by the royal family, dignitaries and dignitaries, and now it is impossible to find it on the market! Even if it is just a casual poem written by Su Shi
Jiang Chengzi, but who doesn't know if this Master Ge will really go crazy as a young man and take one or even several beautiful concubines in Twelve Rains one day?
