Chapter 36: Pushing the Cup and Changing the Lamp, Wishing is as Strong as Wine (2)
"Brother Xiaoma, where is Zhou Zheng?" Wen Siqi hurried downstairs, but there was no trace of Zhou Zheng, so he asked Brother Xiao Ma on the side.
Brother Xiao Ma was the knight who rushed back and forth to ask for Doctor Shi when Zhou Zheng was seriously injured before. At that time, he had some quarrels with the dizzy Wen Siqi, and later Zhou Zheng's condition improved, and Wen Siqi's mental state returned to normal, so she prepared a generous gift and apologized to Brother Xiaoma. Brother Xiao Ma accepted the gift with a smile, and the little unhappiness with Wen Siqi naturally disappeared.
Little Brother Ma stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the stable, "Oh, isn't it right there?" Wen Siqi looked over when she heard this, and saw Zhou Zheng standing next to the stable, talking to Rui'er, the girl of the Han family.
Wen Siqi stepped forward and heard Zhou Zheng refuse: "Miss Rui'er, you go back and tell Uncle Han, Zhou Zheng thanked him for his kindness, but I have something here, and it is really inconvenient to go over." ”
Unexpectedly, after listening to Zhou Zheng's refusal, Rui'er actually took a broken step, walked up to Zhou Zheng, gently grabbed the corner of his clothes, and begged: "Zhou Gongzi, you can go with me." Uncle said, if I can't invite Zhou Gongzi, I won't have anything to eat tonight. ”
Rui'er is thirteen or fourteen years old, it is a good time for cardamom branches to spring in February, and her appearance is also delicate and pretty, she looks weak and helpless, she can really turn hundreds of steels into finger wrapping soft, not to mention that Zhou Zheng is not a hard-hearted character. Zhou Zheng saw that Rui'er was indeed pitiful, and he had no choice but to go if he didn't want to go, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
When Rui'er heard Zhou Zhengyun, she almost jumped up with joy, and her face immediately turned cloudy, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of the beautiful posture of a young girl, where was there still half a sad look. While cheering, she secretly thought in her heart, "Uncle is really right. ”
It turned out that this Han Da had given her a trick before sending Rui'er here: "I think this Zhou Zheng is a thin-skinned person, and he only said that he would invite him to dinner, but I'm afraid he won't be able to invite him." But you're young and you're a girl, and that's an advantage. But if you are invited to him for the first time, and he refuses to come, you beg him, saying that if he does not come, you will have no food. He's soft-hearted, and if you pretend to be pathetic, he'll take the bait. ”
Seeing that his uncle's words had an effect, Zhou Zheng nodded, Rui'er couldn't wait to say, "Zhou Gongzi, then let's go." ”
At this time, Wen Siqi walked in three steps and two steps, stepped forward, interrupted the conversation between the two, and said, "Little junior brother, why did you run away?" ”
Seeing that Siqi came to Wen, Zhou Zheng was about to speak, but let Rui'er take the lead, only to see her doing a good job, and said with a smile: "I've seen Miss Wen." Then he explained: "My uncle and second master felt that Zhou Gongzi was righteous, and he couldn't thank him, so he set up a banquet at home and wanted to invite Zhou Gongzi to the banquet." ”
"If I let the nerd get acquainted with the Han family, then I won't have a chance to take him away. But he looked like this, as soon as he heard that someone from the Han Mansion was coming, he ran away without a trace, and if he didn't go, I was afraid that it would be very difficult. Wen Siqi thought like this, so she made up her mind, it was better to be blocked, and let Zhou Zheng go for a light meal, but she had to follow. She wanted to see what the Han family had planned, and if possible, she would mess things up.
It's just that before these words came out, Wen Siqi felt that it was inappropriate, and after a turn of thought, he smiled: "What should I do, I'm in a hurry, since that's the case, then you can go." The matter of practicing martial arts, don't rush at this time, just wait for you to come back. ”
When Rui'er heard this, she blurted out, "Girl, aren't you going?" ”
In this world, the Ethics of Heaven and Earth are often more important than Mount Tai, and Wen Siqi is Zhou Zheng's senior sister, which is the real identity of the elder. Han Da thought that if he really wanted the two families to make friends, and Wen Siqi was there to make a difference, it would never work. Therefore, regarding Wen Siqi, Han Da also left a plan, it would be best to force her not to go, if not, he would simply invite her to the banquet. As a result, Wen Siqi said that he would not go as soon as he came up, which was beyond Han Da's expectations, so Rui'er asked this question.
"I appreciate the kindness of your house. But it's my little brother who wants to help, and my senior sister won't go because of nothing. Wen Siqi said, and instructed Zhou Zhengdao with a smile: "When I go to someone's house, you have to pay attention to the rules, don't lose my face." "A pair of elders.
"Yes, I'll take care of it."
After a nutritious conversation, Wen Siqi turned around and left, returning to the lobby of Yue Kelai. She beckoned to Brother Pony and said, "Brother Pony, come here, I have something to tell you." ”
Brother Xiao Ma followed Wen Siqi upstairs, entered her room, and asked with some confusion, "Miss Wen, what's the matter with you?" ”
Wen Siqi smiled imperceptibly, and then pretended to be worried, and said, "Little Brother Ma, I want to ask you something." ”
"If you say it, I can help you."
"I hope that the next time the Han family comes again, you will withhold the news and just tell me, don't tell my junior brother."
When Brother Xiao Ma heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, his face showed a different color, he stared at Wen Siqi, and said suspiciously: "Miss Wen, I'm afraid this is not good?" ”
Originally, when Siqi was dressed as a man, Brother Xiao Ma naturally didn't think much about it. Later, after Doctor Shi came, he took a bite of a little girl at Wen Siqi, and Wen Siqi simply stopped hiding it. Although she is still wearing men's clothes, Yue Kelai knows that she is a daughter, and also knows that she spent three thousand taels of silver to treat Zhou Zheng.
A rich girl who ran away from her family spent a lot of money to serve the decoction for the strange man she met halfway...... Others don't know what to cross and be reborn, where will they understand Wen Siqi's painstaking efforts to "invest in the future", only as her...... Zhou Zheng looks so handsome again, cough cough, in short, that's the case.
Brother Xiao Ma also thought crookedly, so he persuaded bitterly: "This kind of thing has always paid attention to your affection and my willingness, how can it be like this?" ”
Wen Siqi was in a cold sweat when she heard this, knowing that Brother Xiao Ma had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "I did this for my junior brother. Think about it, what kind of family is the Han family? ”
"The Han family?" Brother Xiao Ma pondered for a moment and said, "The Han family is our local rich family, there is nothing bad about it." ”
When Wen Siqi heard this, she sneered and said disdainfully: "Rich and noble? Ha, in my eyes, it's just a mercenary who sits on a businessman's errand. After laughing at the Han family, she pointed to her handsome little face and asked, "Guess what kind of family my family is?" ”
In the past few days, Brother Xiao Ma has been accustomed to seeing Wen Siqi's lavish spending, knowing that she is also a rich master, and hearing Zhou Zheng say what kind of martial arts family she has in her family, he said bluntly: "Your family should be a martial arts family, a local wealthy family." After saying this, he added: "Maybe the official still has connections." "In this world, both civil and military, scholarly families and martial arts families are inevitably inextricably linked with the upper class.
Wen Siqi nodded and said vaguely: "You guessed that it was generally good, so I don't care about people like the Han family." And my little junior brother is a genius, if he can endure the temperament and work hard, he will have some achievements. When the time comes, he will get ahead and glorify his ancestors, isn't it much better than going to Han's house to make an upside down door and eat a bite of soft rice? ”
"That's not what I said, and it wasn't our little brother Zhou who took the initiative, it was posted by their Han family." Brother Xiao Ma paused, and then said: "Besides, how do you know that the Han family wants Brother Zhou to plug the door upside down, instead of marrying Han Niangzi?" ”
Wen Siqi laughed twice: "Do you think Han will marry his sister?" This kind of businessman is the most calculating, how can he marry his sister to a poor and white wanderer? ”
"Brother Zhou is your junior brother, and he is also a famous disciple, even if he is temporarily struggling, at least the future is promising, and he is not poor and white."
"It's true that the future is promising, but that has to be based on his hard work. You also know that I ran away from home, do you think I can stay in Pingjiang Mansion for a long time? If it weren't for the fact that my junior brother had caused a lot of trouble, I would have taken him back to the Central Plains. Wen Siqi analyzed: "I want to return to the Central Plains as soon as possible, if the little junior brother goes with me, then the future can be expected." But if he is trapped in emotions and does not want to go with me, then how can he have a future, isn't he nothing? ”
"Hiss......" Brother Xiao Ma gasped and sighed: "It seems that this is indeed the truth, but in the end, this is Brother Zhou's own business, we should not interfere, let him choose for himself." ”
Wen Siqi saw that Brother Xiao Ma had been moved, where would he stop there, and hurriedly said: "It's not wrong to choose what you choose, but you can't let others choose everything." If the child refuses to study hard and loves to climb trees and fish, should he choose for himself? ”
"But Brother Zhou is a man, and he is not a child."
"He's not a child, but he's blind."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Love makes people blind!"
After hearing Siqi's words, Brother Xiao Ma has been shaken a lot, from talking eloquently at the beginning, to being silent now. Seeing that the fire was so rotten that the pig's head was rotten, Wen Siqi was overjoyed in her heart, and added: "Besides, I don't think the Han family uncle is a good thing." I've inquired, and my junior brother was calculated by a slut surnamed Li before, and the root cause of this is from him. ”
"Yes, the surname Han is not a good thing!" Wen Siqi didn't expect that as soon as Han Da was mentioned, Brother Xiaoma's anger was ignited at once. I saw him say angrily: "Yesterday, the surnamed Han had a request for help, so he prepared a lot of gifts, and he whispered. Now that Brother Zhou has agreed to help his family, he doesn't know how to repay him, but looks down on people. ”
"Huh?" This time it was Wen Siqi's turn to know why.
Seeing her puzzled, Brother Pony explained, "Didn't you go to the stable just now?" ”
"yes, what's wrong?"
Brother Xiao Ma reprimanded: "The Han family said it well, and invited Brother Zhou to the banquet, but there was no sedan chair, no carriage and carriage, and only a little girl was sent to lead a donkey!" Is there such hospitality? ”
"What, donkey?"
