Chapter Ninety-Eight

Yan Zhaohua has not yet passed the three-year filial piety period, so the noon banquet can not be served, so he asked people to send the food box to Tingyuxuan, while looking at the book, while eating lunch, in the afternoon Xie Xinrou and the girls were playing in the garden to throw pots, Yan Zhaohua was not very interested, thinking that the words on hand now were basically all about to be read, so he Bingliu and Gu's, for the reason that Yan Ruiqian bought Shiwen, and pulled Yan Ruiqian out together.

Guogong Mansion has a banquet today, there are many guests, and there are many young ladies who have nothing to do in the afternoon to go on a trip, Yan Zhaohua and Yan Ruiqian sat in the carriage, Yan Ruiqian said to Yan Zhaohua:

"Sister, I don't want to take the imperial examination. I'm not that material at all. ”

Yan Zhaohua was lifting the curtain of the car to look outside, and after hearing Yan Ruiqian say this, he turned his head to look at him and said, "Is it that material, you have to pass the test!" Dad's expectations for you, you don't know, if you don't try, just say no to him in front of him, what do you think he will think? Only if you do your best, let him see that you have worked hard but have no results, can you make him change his mind! ”

Yan Ruiqian listened to these words, thought about it, the truth is this, but he was still a little unhappy, and said:

"If Dad doesn't change his mind, I'll only be a nerd for the rest of my life?"

Yan Zhaohua looked at this younger brother, thinking back to his previous life, he did not have any development in literary talent, he had read for so many years, and he had never been admitted to the exam, and he played outside with some children of the family all day long, and when he came back, he was locked in the study by Yan Xiu, and he definitely didn't read the book, so he made so many ridiculous things in the room, and couldn't help asking:

"Then you don't want to be a nerd, what do you want to do?"

Yan Ruiqian thought for a while before he said unabashedly to Yan Zhaohua: "I want to ...... Go to the army! I want to fight, I want to be like my father, serve the country, and make contributions! ”

Regarding Yan Ruiqian's ambition, Yan Zhaohua was stunned before saying: "This ambition ...... Ambitious enough. But have you thought about it, why? Although my father won a battle, he didn't have real military power in his hands, if you want to go to the army to fight, you have to dredge it from the beginning, not to mention, I think if you don't read well, you may not be able to fight a war. ”

"You can learn the art of war and strategy, you don't have to dredge it from scratch, I just want to join the army by myself, and I don't plan to fight my father's might, even if I start as a big soldier, I don't think it's anything. Sister, I'm a man, I can't always be with you women in the back house, I used to be ignorant, but now I have been practicing in the military department for so long, so I understand that only the military camp is where real men should stay. ”

“……”

Yan Zhaohua looked at Yan Ruiqian, and didn't speak for a long time, this kid now knows what he said, and he didn't know who it was back then, he hid in the gentle countryside of the back house all day long, drunk and dreamed of death, and now he is still disgusted.

Before the conversation between the two ended, the carriage arrived at the place, Yan Ruiqian lifted the curtain and looked at it, and said, "Alas, I said that I don't want to buy Shiwen." I have a headache when I see it. ”

Yan Zhaohua ignored him, put on a hat and got out of the car, walked into the bookstore, Yan Ruiqian reluctantly followed to get out of the car, Yan Zhaohua asked the guy to take Yan Ruiqian to the place where the Shiwen was monopolized, and he went to the book booth next to him, picked out a dozen new ones, and asked the guy to wrap her up, and when Yan Ruiqian took a few anthologies of Shiwen in his hand, he was about to pay, when he heard a voice next to him.

"Hey, brother Xian, how can you be so coincidental?"

Yan Zhaohua and Yan Ruiqian turned around together, and saw Tan Xiaozhi walking in from the door, Yan Ruiqian saw this and stepped forward to say hello, Tan Xiaozhi saw that Yan Zhaohua was also there, nodded to Yan Zhaohua with a smile and said, "Miss Yan is also here, the two of you are here to buy books?" ”

Yan Ruiqian handed Tan Xiaozhi the anthology of current literature he selected, and said, "Yes, my sister has to ask me to buy these." ”

Tan Xiaozhi glanced at Yan Zhaohua, then looked down at the books selected by Yan Ruiqian, and said: "The books you picked are not comprehensive, I remember that Yanqing Jushi has written several anthologies of imperial examination cases over the years, this shop should still be in stock, I'll find it for you, it's much more effective to see that one than to look at this." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Yan Ruiqian to answer, Tan Xiaozhi took the few books that Yan Ruiqian had picked before, and after asking the guy a few words, the guy took Tan Xiaozhi to the place where the books were placed, even Yan Zhaohua didn't expect Tan Xiaozhi to be so enthusiastic about Yan Ruiqian, and couldn't help but remind her of Mrs. Geng Shi, who was also very enthusiastic about her at the beginning, Yan Zhaohua's mind flashed, this Tan Xiaozhi would not be ...... For her, right?

However, this idea was only momentarily denied to Yan Zhaohua, Geng was good to her back then, and he didn't say anything specific, in the past two years, although he met by chance, he didn't hear Geng's request to make her embarrassed, and gradually Yan Zhaohua forgot about it, and now when he saw Tan Xiaozhi, he remembered that Tan Xiaozhi should not have seen her, how could it be that meaning.

Yan Zhaohua was amused by his own thoughts, Yan Ruiqian looked at her, came over and asked, "Sister, what are you laughing at?" ”

"What am I laughing at? I'm laughing at you, and now you have a book to back in. ”

In a word, Yan Ruiqian's expression piled up, and after a while, Tan Xiaozhi came back, and he really came over with a stack of stacks of anthologies of inscriptions over the years, Yan Ruiqian saw so many books, and he didn't pick them up, and he didn't pick them up, but Tan Xiaozhi was a piece of kindness, and he couldn't blame others, so he had to take over the stack of books head-on.

Yan Zhaohua wanted to pay, but was stopped by Tan Xiaozhi and said: "It's rare to meet today, these books were given to my virtuous brother at that time, I'll just come." ”

Not only did he choose books for Yan Ruiqian, but he also had to pay for Yan Ruiqian's books? Fu Yan Ruiqian's is enough, Yan Zhaohua remembered his more than a dozen freshly baked books, he couldn't let Tan Xiaozhi pay, shook his hand decisively, and said: "No, no, no, where can Tan Gongzi break the bank......"

But before he finished speaking, Tan Xiaozhi gestured to the guy, and the guy came forward to take him to pay the bill, Yan Zhaohua sighed secretly, it was not easy to come out once, it seems that the book can't be bought today, but there is a reason for it, and there is no way, Yan Zhaohua quickly convinced himself, forget it if you don't buy it this time, and wait for the next time you have a chance to come out.

Unexpectedly, the guy came forward to Yan Zhaohua and asked, "Miss, have the dozen or so books you picked before also settled together?" ”

Turning his head to look at the dozen or so books packed by the guy, stacked up higher than Yan Ruiqian's sets of questions, Yan Zhaohua was glad that he was wearing a hat, otherwise he would have died of embarrassment on his face now, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, but he didn't expect Tan Xiaozhi to hear this, go and return, and take all the books in the man's hand, Yan Zhaohua wanted to stop it too late, Tan Xiaozhi said boldly:

"I'm married."

Yan Zhaohua: ......

Yan Ruiqian looked at the stack of books, and suddenly understood something, and said to Yan Zhaohua: "Sister, you won't let me come and buy the anthology of Shiwen just to buy those books, right?" ”

Yan Zhaohua was depressed, this kid dared to come up and tell the truth, and he didn't give him politeness immediately, he raised a foot and stepped on Yan Ruiqian's instep, and at the end he crushed a few times, Yan Ruiqian screamed in pain, twisted his arm again, and immediately closed his mouth smartly, and endured the pain, and after Yan Zhaohua withdrew his hands and feet, he rubbed his arm aggrievedly, turned his toes, and secretly slandered himself, he couldn't tell the truth.

Tan Xiaozhi came over and saw that this pair of sisters and brothers were a little different, smiled heartily, sunny and handsome, and said, "Brother Xian, what's wrong?" I've got the book wrapped.,If you go back and read it, if you don't understand anything.,You can come and ask me at any time.,Although I don't have a big talent.,But I've also taken the test.,Don't be polite to me.。 ”

Yan Ruiqian still has the demeanor of a prince of the Hou Mansion in front of outsiders, although his arm hurts and his instep hurts, he can be respectful and polite on his face, and he hugged his fist to Tan Xiaozhi and said:

"Thank you Brother Yongcheng for your advice, it's just that you can't afford to spend money, and you must come to thank you for another day."

Tan Xiaozhi waved his hand elegantly and said: "It's just a gesture, why worry about it, thank you is too heavy, I went out alone, I heard that Yuejiang Tea House has a new tea, the taste is very good, I want to taste the taste, just one person drinking tea, it is inevitable that the shadow is alone, if the virtuous brother and the young lady are willing, we can go to taste a cup of tea together, there are just some points I can also tell the virtuous brother in advance." What does Miss Yan think? ”

Yan Zhaohua didn't think so, Yan Ruiqian looked at Yan Zhaohua, and then looked at the two stacks of books in his hand, no matter what, today is a confession, people have a good intention, and they choose books for him, and pay him, and they also offer to explain the main points of the text to him, if you don't drink a cup of tea with him, it will be too unkind, but I am afraid that Yan Zhaohua will not agree, so I turned my head and said to Yan Zhaohua:

"Sister, why don't we go have a cup of tea. Brother Yongcheng is such a good person, he also said that he wanted to give me the point, anyway, it was just a cup of tea, and I was here, so I should ...... It's all right. ”

Before Yan Zhaohua could speak, he heard Tan Xiaozhi say again: "If Miss Yan feels embarrassed, there is a private room on the second floor of the Yuejiang Tea House, so let's go directly to the private room to drink tea." ”

Everyone invited like this, if Yan Zhaohua didn't agree, it would be too ungenerous, and besides, they had just bought her more than a dozen books, so she always had to thank her, nodded and said, "That's ...... It is better to be respectful than to obey the fate. ”

Tan Xiaozhi saw Yan Zhaohua nodded, and was overjoyed, excitedly led the way to the Yan family sisters and brothers in front, and the three of them went out of the bookstore together, Yan Ruiqian and Yan Zhaohua took the carriage, Tan Xiaozhi turned over and rode a horse to lead the way, and after a while, he arrived at the Yuejiang teahouse he said.

Yan Ruiqian helped Yan Zhaohua get out of the car, a breeze blew through Yan Zhaohua's hat, lifted half of the curtain, half of the pretty face flashed, Tan Xiaozhi's eyes were extremely hot, he couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, and came to invite him in person, Yan Ruiqian and Yan Zhaohua thanked and thanked, and then followed him up the steps of the teahouse, the guy at the door asked Tan Xiaozhi a few people, Tan Xiaozhi communicated with him, Yan Zhaohua and Yan Ruiqian were waiting next to him, but I didn't expect that at this time, another voice came:

"It's a coincidence, how can I meet it in the house, and I can still meet it outside the house."

Yan Zhaohua turned around, and saw Fan Wenchao smiling, Pei Xuan seemed to be smiling behind him, for no reason, Yan Zhaohua only felt that his scalp was numb, Pei Xuan's expression made Yan Zhaohua have an illusion, as if he had done something bad behind his back outside and caught him red-handed, and he was actually empty-hearted. Yan Zhaohua let himself laugh at this idea, but he couldn't laugh at all, and could only secretly sigh that this world was too small.

They still wondered how they could meet outside, and she still wondered, how could there be these two people everywhere!

When Yan Ruiqian saw them, he subconsciously blocked in front of Yan Zhaohua and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Fan Wenchao walked over with a smile, put his hand on Yan Ruiqian's shoulder, and easily controlled this troublesome kid, Pei Xuan stepped forward to face Yan Zhaohua, hooked his lips and said, "Let's have tea, are you too?" Then let's go together. ”
