Bare-chested and carrying a thorny thorn on his back, the dejected Zhu Er no longer looked like the arrogant rooster last night. Instead, he looked like an honest quail, with only his eyes still moving around. Seeing this scene, Zhang
Shou felt that Zhu Ying's second brother, not to mention not as good as Lu Sanlang, was even far behind Zhang Chen, who sometimes claimed to be a righteous son.
Seeing Zhu Er raise his eyes and glance at him quickly, the circles under his eyes were black and he had clearly been beaten by someone. He guessed it was Zhu Ying who did it. Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile. When he smiled, Zhu Er immediately glared at him angrily, but when he saw Zhu Ying,
Ying looked over and quickly smiled apologetically.
"Yingying, you asked me to apologize, don't you think I'm here? Look at this thorn, there are still thorns, I am very sincere..."
Zhu Er took it for granted that he was a playboy, and Cui Yun caught a lot of them. Zhang Shou was not surprised by this behavior, and immediately said as if nothing had happened: "Second Young Master should never come to my place, he should go first
It is best to sincerely apologize in front of the Madam."
"I said to go to grandma first, but he insisted on coming to you first." When Zhu Ying said this, she suddenly paused and looked at her second brother with a somewhat unkind look.
No wonder she felt something was wrong just now. You, the second brother, even want to plot my order. Do you want grandma to think that Ah Shou is arrogant and rude?
Zhu Ying immediately snorted heavily, then grabbed Zhu Er and walked out: "Ah Shou, I will take him to kowtow to his grandmother first, and come back later!"
Seeing Zhu Ying going out in a hurry again as when she came, Zhang Shou saw Li's mother's eyes were subtle, she smiled and saluted, and hurriedly chased her out. He shrugged, then turned to look at Qi Liang and Deng Xiaodai.
"You two probably didn't sleep well last night. Should you go out with me for a walk today, or should you stay here to catch up on your sleep?"
"Of course, go out!"
Qi Liang and Deng Xiaodai almost said five words at the same time, and then looked at each other again.
What a joke, if the young gentleman goes out and they stay here in the Zhao Guogong Mansion, if the madam calls them over for questioning, who of them can handle it? Anyway, they just haven't slept all night, and they are sleepy at most.
It's better than staying here and being restless!
Zhang Shou also hopes that Deng Xiaodai and Qi Liang will take him around the capital. As for Zhu Ying, the eldest lady has too big a goal. No matter whether she is dressed as a woman or a man, it will be too conspicuous. However, before he can think about what to do today
After convincing the grandparent and grandson to let the three teachers and students go out for a walk, Mother Li left and came back again, but the smile on her face seemed a little forced.
"Mr. Shou, Princess Yongping's Yuehua Lou literary party is today, and she specially sent you a post."
Zhang Shou once heard Zhu Ying mention the name Princess Yongping once - in the eldest lady's story, the princess who was born on the same year, same month and same day as her was a complete villain, not only trampling on her lotus lantern, but also mocking her.
, as a result, the eldest lady fought back angrily, and he was in trouble. However, he was not very interested in these palace personnel, and he never asked Lu Sanlang and others.
But now he received such an inexplicable post on the second day after arriving in the capital. He was surprised and helpless. He immediately said lightly: "I am an unknown person, how could Princess Yongping send me a post? I promised yesterday
I asked the teacher to take Xiao Qi and Xiao Dai to his place to solve some problems and do some writing, so Mother Lao Li must have refused on my behalf."
Mother Li didn't expect Zhang Shou's refusal to be so simple and direct, and a smile that was much more sincere than before suddenly appeared on her face. Even so, she still presented the post with both hands, and seeing Deng Xiaodai hurriedly took it over,
It was brought to Zhang Shou again, and she finally explained a few sentences.
"Princess Yongping has been a quick thinker since she was a child. She is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is also quite good at poetry, poetry and poetry. In addition, the atmosphere of this dynasty has always been open. She once went on a tour with the emperor incognito and met three people in Yuehua Tower.
Talented scholar, after a cross-examination, the three people were convinced that they would be defeated, and her reputation spread, so she took advantage of the situation and asked the emperor to hold literary meetings in Yuehua Tower every month, and she would observe from upstairs."
"Of course, with the curtains hanging upstairs, she won't be able to meet the talented scholars attending the meeting, and outsiders won't be allowed to go upstairs."
At this point, she paused and lowered her eyelids: "The emperor often sent eunuchs to accompany him, so the scholars who got the post all regarded it as a great honor. After all, being able to get a name before the imperial examination
Da Tian Ting, who can resist this kind of temptation? If the posts were not all named, some people would do anything to get a post."
There is only one word missing from the title, but what she is doing now is quite similar. Does that golden girl want to be Princess Taiping?
Zhang Shou laughed in his heart, but he said jokingly: "Mama Li said that Princess Yongping is very popular in poetry and songs, but the one opened above Yuehua Tower is not a poetry club, but a literary club?"
"Because Princess Yongping said that although poetry and songs can certainly reveal one's literary talent, no matter how good the poems are, they may not be able to serve as a good official or be beneficial to the court. It is not as good as articles that can reveal a person's character, talent and learning."
Regarding Princess Yongping's statement relayed by Li's mother, Zhang Shou couldn't help laughing: "Although I don't know any poetry, I have to say that people who write good poems really have to work hard, and there are some who can't.
Who publishes good articles?"
"Besides, can the article reveal a person's character and talent? Can it tell whether a person can be a good official? Most corrupt officials are selected after reading the examination articles, right? It's true that it can be seen on paper.
Zhongjue Qian knows that this matter needs to be carried out carefully. Are there people who are good at writing but know nothing about being an official?"
"If you hold an essay meeting, just hold an essay meeting to select talented people who can write good articles. Why should you despise poetry, lyrics, and songs and exalt articles?"
"Ah Shou, you said it well!" As soon as he said this, there was a cry of praise from outside, followed closely by Zhu Er, who had a delicate expression, staggered into the room, followed closely by Zhu Er.
Ying.
Miss Zhu's face was filled with a pleasant red color at this time. She didn't know whether she was running in a hurry or because she was happy because of Zhang Shou's words: "Princess Yongping still thinks that Lu Fangweng's poems are too simple, so she wants me to
Said, that's because she is too shallow! You want to go when that woman sends you a post? No! I will accompany you, Xiao Qi and Xiao Dai to see Grandpa Ge!"
At this point, Zhang Shou thought it was over.
What he didn't expect was that when the wife learned that he was going to Ge Yong's place, she insisted that he change his clothes, and then asked the girl to bring him clothes.
It was only then that Zhang Shou discovered that in addition to the set of Qinglian gauze clothes that he had given him as a birthday gift, Mrs. Tai had actually prepared other clothes that fit him in exactly the same size, and there were more than one, and several in different colors.
body.
Zhang Shou had nothing to say about such a style, so he could only choose a relatively simple set of indigo clothes. He had just finished dressing up when Zhu Ying had already dragged Zhu Er, who was neatly dressed, back again, saying she wanted to bring him with her.
Let's go to Grandpa Ge's place to be educated together.
Seeing Zhu Ying talking and winking at him desperately, Zhang Shou didn't know that the kind of education Zhu Ying wanted his second brother to receive was the bombardment of arithmetic questions that made a group of noble disciples in Cuiyun Room complain incessantly? He glanced angrily.
He glanced at this young lady who was cheating on her brother, and didn't say yes or no, but simply said: "Okay, it's not early, let's go out."
"Ahem, are the eldest lady and Mr. Shou here? I have something to report."
Just at this moment, there was a cough outside, and soon after, Mother Jiang entered the room. She looked around at everyone, then bent her knees and saluted.
"Concubine Yu just sent someone here, saying that she hasn't seen the eldest lady for a long time. She also went to Yuehua Building today at noon and asked the eldest lady to meet her."
Seeing that Zhu Ying was taken aback, she immediately shook her sleeves in annoyance, and then she sighed and said: "Empress Yufei said, if possible, please ask Mr. Shou to bring two students to attend the meeting, so that people can have a good look at the disciples of Gemen."
Fengcai. Mrs. Tai said that it was okay not to go originally, but the princess sent the message first, and Concubine Yu specially sent a message, so just go."
"She sent someone to inform Grand Master Ge so that he wouldn't have to wait. She was so quiet that she decided to accompany you to Yuehua Tower!"
Zhang Shou was just too lazy to go to such an invitation that obviously had the meaning of Hongmen Banquet. Seeing that he couldn't shirk it now, he said with a smile: "Well, go ahead. I, a countryman, should see the best in the capital."
