Chapter 8: Chance Encounters
Five days later, the Chengqi bookstore in the capital. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Chengqi bookstore in the capital is also in the north city, not on the most prosperous street, but it is convenient to come and go, and the carriage and horse can pass. The large spacious courtyard is planted with all kinds of trees, and it is autumn day, and the laurel trees are hidden in it, and the fragrance of flowers is pleasant, and it gives people a refreshing feeling as soon as they enter.
The capital is prosperous, and Li Da's shopkeeper is sober-minded, and he has not copied the business methods of Qingshan Town and Lin'an Mansion. Instead, it is quiet in the middle of nowhere, in a simple and green super-large courtyard, there is a simple and clumsy wooden building, which is rich in books, and there is a place to read books on the first floor. What is ingenious is that there are small study kiosks in all corners of the yard, under the big trees, beside the small forks, stone benches and wooden chairs, and even reclining chairs, there are often small surprises.
The first time Mr. Xie came here, he saw that under an osmanthus tree, Liu Xiaogongzi was dressed in white, lying in a bamboo rocking chair, holding a book in his hand, with his eyes closed, osmanthus flowers falling on his fair-skinned handsome face.
"Hey, when did Liu Si learn to be the boss," he tugged at the sleeve of Zhao Dagongzi next to him, "A body of immortal energy!" ”
Zhao Dagongzi was happy: "Don't dream about Zhou Gong!" Go, scare him....."
The two took a closer look, and sure enough, Liu Xiaogongzi actually fell asleep in the courtyard of the bookstore.
Zhao Dagongzi shouted: "Dr. Wang is here, Liu Si is up quickly!" ”
"Hello Dr. Wang!" Xie Dagongzi coaxed.
Liu Xiaogongzi was in a dream, "there is Yan Ruyu in the book", and as soon as he was awakened, he looked at Zhao Dagongzi dizzily, "I've seen Dr. Wang!" ”
Zhao Dagongzi and Xie Dagongzi were so happy, the two of them laughed crookedly. There were scholars walking by on the side of the road, and they were happy to bend down and shake their heads.
Liu Xiaogongzi came to his senses, this is not Guozijian at all, he hated it so much that he punched the two of them hard, and he felt funny, so he grinned. It's true, recently, the ancestors of the family have been telling me to study hard and strive for the middle of the spring, and this person is stunned. finally came to the bookstore to be lazy, and was startled by these two unscrupulous brothers.
You must know that among the four sons of the capital, the second son of Qi is the eldest in the row, born in the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, he is twenty-five years old this year, and he is already a waiter in the Criminal Department at such an age, which is the only one in the entire Dachen Dynasty that has no one before the ancients and no one who has come, and he is a famous young talent, and he is famous in front of the emperor and the crown prince.
Zhao Dagongzi is also twenty-five years old, is the eldest son of Uncle Guo, he doesn't like to read since he was a child, he likes knives and guns and is good at riding horses, Uncle Zhao is scolded and scolded, beaten and beaten, and in desperation, he can only let his son who has not changed his ways. This Zhao Dagongzi doesn't read very well, but he is a first-class bold, witty and funny, and he is deeply loved by the queen's aunt, even the emperor who has always been strict with the princes can't stand his face in the face of Zhao Dagongzi.
The martial prince Zhao had a fight with the second son of Qi when he was fifteen years old, and then he didn't know each other without fighting, and since then he has followed the second son of Qi to be called the second child. Why, it's very simple, Wu can't beat it, and Wen can't catch up, Zhao Dagongzi recognized the eldest brother and recognized the refreshing spirit, and made the son's brother in the capital fall out of the eye.
As for Dagongzi Xie and Xiaogongzi Liu, one is twenty and the other is eighteen, it stands to reason that there is such a difference in age, so why can't they be called the first two. These two people have followed the second son of Qi since childhood, one is the eldest son of General Xie, and the other is the favorite grandson of Dingguo Gong, and they are all talented and beautiful young men, and they are called "the four sons of the capital".
Today, Dagongzi Xie was dragged by the second eldest son, Zhao Dagongzi, who recently became obsessed with the sword dance of the green bead girl in Meiyuan, and went to Meiyuan twice in three days. Uncle Zhao Guo was furious, although this son doesn't like to study, he never looks for flowers and asks Liu, how can he go there now, what a clear person, a clear person is also a young person.
Under this anger, he instructed Zhao's mother that if he went to such a place again, let him kneel in the ancestral hall. Zhao Dagongzi has a wife and children, but he can't lose that face. remembered that Miss Luzhu mentioned that Cheng Qi Bookstore was quite yearning for it two days ago, so she pulled Xie Dagongzi here, and she didn't think that she would see Liu Xiaogongzi as soon as she came in.
When the three of them met, it was lively, and after that, they walked to the book building together.
Xiaohe stood on the third floor and looked down, she was wearing a light purple brocade robe today, the edge of the robe was locked with dark bamboo patterns, and she pulled the boy's hair.
"Aunt, oh, little boy, wearing a dark blue robe is Zhao Huaqi, the eldest son of Zhao of the National Uncle's Mansion, who has advanced the Imperial Forest Army for three years and is now the commander of the Left Guard. It is said that the emperor and queen are all more in love with him. Li Xinhai pointed out on the side.
Xiaohe nodded, this look is a refreshing and scheming, and he looks upright, and the nobles in the palace are intriguing all day long, and he likes this kind of person.
Li Xinhai continued: "The one wearing white on the left is Liu Shihao, the youngest and most favored grandson of Lao Dingguogong, well, Xiao Zuo Xiaoyou said, he is still in the Guozijian, his literary talent is outstanding, and he plans to participate in next year's Spring Festival." ”
Well, little handsome guy, aunts and aunts love their sisters and sisters when they see them. Xiaohe secretly praised it.
"The one wearing the dark purple robe on the right is Xie Chen, the eldest son of General Xie."
Xiao He's gaze fell on Xie Chen's face with Li Xinhai's introduction, and the phoenix eyes like General Xie, but General Xie was a little rough, but he was much more delicate, and Mrs. Xie must be a big beauty.
"He's never been on the battlefield," Xiao He sighed, without the slightest breath of a warrior, he was just a literati, "I don't know if he doesn't like it, or General Xie won't let him go?" ”
"This is not very clear, since General Xie left Beijing ten years ago, Xie Chen has not left the capital." Li Xinhai sighed, "It's Xie Xun, the second son of Xie, who went to the border two years ago with Lu Yu, the eldest son of the squire of the military department. ”
"By the way, Aunt Wang once mentioned that once I heard Xie Fu Xiuniang hold grievances for Mrs. Xie, saying that General Xie has a concubine who has been following him." Xiao He turned his head and frowned, "Could it be that General Xie wants to cultivate a concubine, this is not right, Mrs. Xie is the eldest daughter of the crown prince and the princess, and she is known as a virtuous name!" ”
Li Xinhai continued: "Mrs. Xie is strict, and very little news has been revealed in the house, otherwise, let Xiao Zuo Xiaoyou investigate carefully." ”
"No need," Xiao He shook his hand, "I may be able to see General Xie in a few days." ”
"They're coming!" Li Xinhai pointed to the stairs.
The crane smiled and flicked his sleeve. "It's time for me to get back on the field!"
With that, he walked towards the bookshelf.
