Chapter 632: The mediator pulls the fiber, the meaning of the drunkard
Look up, look down, left, right.
From the time when Song Juren came in with the boxwood tray and politely presented Zhang Shou with a bowl of sweet soup, and then even stuffed a bowl for himself, Deng Xiaodai had always maintained this habit of sizing people up.
Until his hands felt hot, he exclaimed in surprise, then quickly put the small bowl he had been carrying for a long time on the high table next to him, and touched his ears with his hot red fingers.
"It's burning? Oh my, can you still bear it? If you can bear it, blow it on. If you can't bear it, go get some snow water to cool it off?" Song Juren rushed over when he heard the noise and said very familiarly, "I heard that Xiao
Brother, are you also a student of Bachelor Zhang? At a young age, you follow Wang Zongxian to build a career outside? Oh, you are really a role model for young people, unlike me, a loser who likes to be close to the chef..."
Before Song Juren could stun Deng Xiaodai, Zhang Shou had to put down his spoon after taking a mouthful of so-called sweet taro soup: "Brother Song, please let Deng Xiaodai go. I remember when I first met you,
You are still the stupid guy that Ah Liu said, how come you suddenly become the one who stalks people to death without compromising your life?"
"Once born, twice familiar. That's how I am. I am honest in front of strangers, but a little pushy in front of acquaintances." Song Juren didn't seem to realize at all that the word "extends within one's limits" is not a good word. He returned to Zhang Shou.
, made a bow with a silly smile, and then said pleadingly, "It's rare to meet a good girl who is willing to understand me, and it's rare to meet a reasonable father-in-law..."
Zhang Shou finally couldn't stand listening any more. You haven't even proposed marriage yet, and your father-in-law has already called you in advance! I remember when I lived directly in my future father-in-law's house, and when my grandmother-in-law regarded me as her grandson-in-law, I wasn't as generous as you.
Shameless!
He tapped the armrest angrily, stopped this guy who became less and less particular as he got more familiar with it, and said with a sullen face: "Okay, aren't you just worried that there won't be that store after passing this village? Your uncle is not here, I
In addition, find a suitable person to come to your door to secure your match, what do you think, Uncle Weinan?"
When Zhang Shou declined his resignation before, the reason was that the Song family had elders in the capital, and he, a younger and younger person, was not suitable for such an important task. Therefore, Song Juren was also ill and sought medical treatment. Today, when Song Tuiguan was caught, he asked for help. But.
Zhang Shou now proposed such a candidate. He nodded with joy and then asked: "Would it be better for two people to come to the door? For example, Duke Zhao..."
"Do you want Duke Zhao Guo to go?" Seeing Song Juren nodding his head as if he was pounding garlic, he said with a smile, "Of course you can, you can just say it yourself."
Just kidding, his future father-in-law, Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing, and his eldest son, Zhu Tingfang, are both majestic and majestic people. He would never go to them even if he had nothing to do. Song Juren actually wanted to find someone to help him.
Propose marriage?
Seeing that Song Juren wilted immediately, Zhang Shou had a thought in his mind, but then smiled and said: "But it is indeed more serious to go with two people. After all, King Jiangdu is a member of the clan, and I heard that he will be in charge of Zongzhengsi in the future. So, I will accompany you.
Let’s go to Xiangyang Bo’s Mansion, firstly to see if we can invite this honorable man, and secondly, to pay a visit to my student Zhang Wuji.”
Having said this, he did not look at Song Juren, who was overjoyed, but nodded to Deng Xiaodai: "Xiaodai, you are here too, aren't you just coming back from Xuan Mansion this time? You should meet me too.
Will you pass the Duke of Chu?"
Deng Xiaodai just woke up from a dream. He just thought that Zhang Shou took advantage of Song Juren to go to see Chu Guogong's third brother Xiangyang Bo to inquire about certain situations. While he was grateful, he also felt
I feel that I took advantage of Song Juren's eagerness.
But when he saw that the man was so happy, he came over and asked him diligently how the taro balls tasted and whether they were delicious. He quickly suppressed his messy thoughts and hurriedly picked up the bowl and tasted it.
Originally, he planned to say yes even if it wasn't very good, but after just one taste, he felt that the taro balls were soft and chewy, and the soup base was even thicker. He didn't know how the red beans were cooked.
The sand was so sweet that even though he didn't usually like sweet things, he couldn't help but start eating it. He didn't wake up until he saw the bottom of the bowl.
As a result, when he raised his head, what he saw was Song Juren's bright smiling face: "How is it? Is it delicious? What are the shortcomings? Just mention it, don't worry about my face! There is a saying that you can never tire of fine food and fine food, as long as you know the shortcomings
, so I can improve! Xueshi Zhang’s comments on me are usually too simple, often just good or bad, and always make me think about it, little brother, please don’t imitate him!”
When Deng Xiaodai went to Beijing for the first time to visit his uncle, he saw those scholars who were studying coming to visit the government official who was in charge of the government examination.
He talked eloquently and didn't even look at an ordinary country boy like him, so he always felt that famous scholars had such an arrogant and arrogant temperament.
But at this moment, he only felt that Song Juren had subverted his inherent impression of scholars, but he also naturally felt that the person was very kind, and unconsciously wanted to help him.
So, faced with the stalker, Deng Xiaodai searched for ways to improve... Zhang Shou simply didn't bother them and quietly got up and went out. Sure enough, Ah, who had just gone out to "rescue" Song Tuiguan,
Liu didn't know when he had come back and was leaning under the pillars. But as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, people turned their eyes towards him.
"Song Tuiguan went to meet Zou Ming and the others." Ah Liu gave a very simple answer, never mentioning that he had just dragged Song Tuiguan away and almost staged a walk over the walls at home.
After discovering that Zhang Shou did not pursue the matter, he asked: "If the young master wants to go out, should I ask them to prepare horses and chariots?"
Zhang Shou nodded, and inevitably added: "Go and tell your mother to prepare three gifts. In a while, you will go to the Xiangyang uncle's house, then to the Weinan uncle's house, and finally to the Duke of Qin's house. Since that guy Zhang Chen has suffered
Fight, I have to figure out what's going on. There is also Zhang Wuji, the big man from Xiangyang uncle's family. He almost led people to beat the Dengwen drum that day, so I want to go to express my condolences."
Ah Liu nodded with great understanding. When he went to see Mrs. Wu, he saw that Mrs. Wu had made a list of gifts very skillfully with the help of a mother beside him, so he put forward his own suggestion--in the Qin Guogong Mansion and
Two bottles of secret wound medicine were added to the two gifts from Xiangyang Bo's Mansion.
It was used to treat various injuries and bruises after he usually sparred with the kids at home, or trained them unilaterally. It was also useful for injuries after various beatings. After all, this
The toy is produced by Huaqi. He used it himself in the early years and later used it on others. He experienced it in person or with his own eyes time and time again, and he knew that the effect was extraordinary.
Sure enough, when Ah Liu brought Deng Xiaodai, accompanied Zhang Shou and Song Juren to the Xiangyang uncle's house, Xiangyang uncle Zhang Qiong greeted him readily, but his straightforward opening remarks completely confirmed his foresight.
"Zhang Wuji, that stinky boy, didn't follow other people's example and made trouble, but he actually wanted to beat the Dengwen drum. If he hadn't been stopped by the fourth prince, he would have caused big trouble! I personally beat him up
Family law, as a result, he is such a big guy and can’t get out of bed now without being beaten!”
Zhang Shou was speechless. What could he say? Don't say that parents these days are simple and rude. In five, six, seven hundred years, if parents really want to discipline their naughty children, wouldn't there be only one way, and that is to beat them?
However, although Zhang Datou may seem like a dandy, he is still a man who knows how to repay his kindness. Zhang Shou thought of the last time he was in the branch examination. He arrived in time and at least did not let this kid be beaten by the angry Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong.
Death, this time he was beaten, it was because of himself. He first explained the purpose of his visit for Song Juren, and then stood up and asked to visit the former student.
Because there have been a lot of big and small things recently, and when the Liu Feng incident came out, the affairs between Princess Yongping and Zhu Ying, the Lord of Hailing County, and Song Juren were not spread by the usually talkative person——
In other words, although it was spread, the spread was still quite limited. Therefore, Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong, who was shocked that Song Juren could impress the head of Hailing County, did not even notice Zhang Shou's request.
He nodded casually, and even though Zhang Shou winked at Deng Xiaodai and immediately took Ah Liu Shi Shiran out to visit Zhang Datou, he didn't care. He had many sons anyway, so he didn't care about this one.
However, with many sons, it would be more expensive to marry a wife, and it would be even harder to find a well-matched marriage. This also became a worry for him. At that moment, he had to stare at Song Juren, who had been blessed from the sky, and inquired carefully, intending to learn from it.
At this time, Song Juren had a taste of how he usually stalked others - because Zhang Qiong was so thorough that he didn't miss any detail. He almost didn't ask him why King Jiangdu liked him.
Such a son-in-law.
Deng Xiaodai looked at it and wanted to laugh but didn't dare. Song Juren looked around in vain for someone to use as a shield. He found that only Deng Xiaodai was there, but Zhang Shou and Ah Liu were not there. He suddenly felt a little desperate. He was good
It was easy to think of something Zhang Shou had accidentally mentioned on the way, and he hurriedly stood up, pulled Deng Xiaodai over, and then smiled flatteringly at Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong.
"Uncle, this is Deng Ai, Zhang's student. He followed Wang Zongxian to Xuanfu and Datong before. I heard that he also met Chu Guogong. You don't want to hear about Chu Guogong's current situation in Xuanfu.
?"
Zhang Qiong was really annoyed by Song Juren's forcible interruption. However, his eldest brother had not returned from Xuan Mansion, so he didn't care. In addition, the young man Song Juren pulled over said he was Zhang Shou's student, and he followed him.
Wang Datong went to Xuan Mansion together, so he naturally asked a few questions casually.
This was originally just a normal inquiry, but Deng Xiaodai hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly: "The Duke of Chu and my family, Wang Zongxian, have no contact except official matters. I don't know the details."
If it had been someone else, Zhang Qiong would have angrily thought that this was perfunctory and prevaricating. However, when Deng Xiaodai said this, he couldn't help but tremble, thinking to himself, could it be that his eldest brother and Wang Datou were at odds? However, Deng Xiaodai did not reveal anything but
He didn't want to say any more about this sentence, he just smiled naively. He really had no choice but to take it out on Song Juren.
In the end, he agreed to the job of retaining a matchmaker, but he also blackmailed Song Juren into a bunch of promises - this weird Juren who was good at cooking didn't have anything else to offer, he could only taste the handmade desserts.
Yes, it does have a unique taste.
But seeing him chatting with the two of them for a long time, and taking Ah Liu to see his big man Zhang Shou, he was suddenly puzzled. When he called the boy to ask, he learned that Zhang Shou was actually there.
He didn't come out of the room, so he changed his mind and feared that his stupid son would complain about his father in front of outsiders, so he simply got up and left.
If someone came to visit, they would naturally stay there, but who is Song Juren? Seeing that Zhang Qiong was about to leave, he pulled Deng Xiaodai and followed him swaggeringly!
That’s totally out of the ordinary!
However, Zhang Qiong didn't care that there were two followers behind him and walked very fast. When he came to the outside of Zhang Wuji's small courtyard, which was not very spacious, he only heard moans coming from inside. Guess it was
The big son of his family pretended to complain in front of Zhang Shou. He immediately became angry and wanted to kick in the door and beat him severely.
Angrily, he was just about to do this, but when he quickly came to the door, he heard another scolding voice coming from inside: "You are so big, you can't bear this little pain! Bear with it, the young master's companions are worse than you."
You are so young that you can’t even hum even when you take medicine!”
Ah Liu didn't think about it at all. The reason why the little guys at home didn't cry out in pain when the medicine was applied was definitely not because they didn't hurt, but because those guys who dared to cry out in pain were miserable when they were sparring later.
At this moment, he glanced at the appalling buttocks and legs of the big man Zhang, picked up a handkerchief nearby and stuffed it into the person's mouth, and his hand movements became more extensive.
Facts have proved that although he seemed to be insignificant, he applied the medicine extremely quickly. When he finally put down his clothes, covered him with the quilt, and then took out the gag handkerchief, Zhang Zhang, a big man, broke into a cold sweat in pain.
I felt a cool feeling blowing through my buttocks and legs that were on fire before, like the wind, and the complaints on my lips immediately changed to gratitude.
Of course, the gratitude was only directed at Zhang Shou: "Teacher, thank you for coming to see me. I am such a useless student. I just wanted to make a big fuss in Qipan Street to show those guys the hypocrisy of those academic officials at the Imperial College.
Shameless face, I didn’t expect..."
"Okay, don't be surprised. If the fourth prince hadn't stopped you, what would you have done if you had just beaten the drum and asked your father to do it?"
Sitting by the bed, Zhang Shou interrupted the big man Zhang's talk, and then shook his head helplessly, and then said seriously: "Think about the consequences of everything, and don't just do whatever you want. Especially our children, who have a family behind them, and everyone will be prosperous.
If one loses, both will suffer. Don't think your father is too strict with you. You must know that Qin Guogong always doesn't care about his son, and this time Zhang Chen also received a beating."
Zhang Chen is the little bully among the dandy boys. No matter his background or temper, he is far behind Zhang Big Guy. So when he heard that Zhang Chen was also beaten, his eyes widened like bells and he suddenly felt at ease. Du Lele
How about everyone having fun!
And when he thought about what Zhang Datou said just now that the servants in the family were looking after the food, taking advantage of the opportunity, even applying medicine perfunctorily, just hoping that he would die, Zhang Shou smiled and said: "But in short, you acted impulsively this time. After all, it is
It's because of me. I will make amends to your father. This wound medicine is specially made by Ah Liu. Not to mention external injuries, it can also have miraculous effects on injuries such as muscles and bones. I will leave a bottle for you later."
"You only get sulky when your servants treat you poorly? If you tell me directly, would your father still value a servant more than you?"
