Chapter 85: Eighty-five
Eighty-five
"Have you arrived?" As soon as the carriage stopped, Zhao Chengjin in the car asked a little anxiously, causing Brother Ping to look at him twice, and the coachman's voice came from outside, "If you go back to the world, the entrance of the alley in front is blocked." ”
Zhao Chengjin's face immediately showed a look of disappointment, and Brother Ping pouted and said, "I told my eldest brother that we would ride out on horseback, but you refused." If you ride a horse, you won't be afraid of that. "Brother Ping has just learned to ride a horse recently, and he is addicted, always thinking about being able to get on the horse and have a good time, but he is always watched by Princess Rui. It was not easy to go back to the city, and there was no Princess Rui staring at him, but he didn't expect Zhao Cheng to take care of it again.
Zhao Chengjin glanced at him and said in a low voice: "If the two of us really ride around on the street, we can ensure that the gate of the palace will be crowded in the morning, do you believe it or not?" "Prince Rui was silent for a few years and was suddenly put forward by His Majesty the Emperor to entrust him with a heavy task, and recently was sent to Jiangnan to inspect, for a time Rui Wangfu was hot, but the people who could be in charge of the house were not in the capital, if it was known that the two brothers had entered the city, they had to block the gates.
Although Brother Ping is young, he is somewhat sensible, and when he heard this, he immediately stopped talking, tilted his head and blinked, and after a while, he couldn't help but quietly look out twice. Zhao Chengjin didn't care about him.
After a while, the carriage moved again, a little bummer than before, and after going around for a while, the voice of the coachman finally came from outside, "Lord Shizi, it's here." ”
Shen Rong stepped forward to knock on the door, and soon, someone came to open the door, Uncle Dong poked his head out and looked at the carriage at the entrance of the courtyard twice, then looked up at Shen Rong, and saw that he had an extraordinary bearing, and a smile appeared on his face, "Who is this son looking for?" ”
"Is this the Meng family?" Shen Rong asked: "My son-in-law is the old man of the Meng family, I heard that the old lady and the young master and the young lady in the house entered Beijing, so I came to take a look." ”
Such a handsome and upright young man is actually just a subordinate? Then how magnificent this master must be! Uncle Dong muttered secretly in his heart, and his face became more and more polite, "It turns out to be a friend of the Dong family, please come in." As he spoke, he quickly opened all the gates, and then turned back and shouted into the courtyard, "Host, there are guests!" ”
Zhao Chengjin and Brother Ping jumped out of the car one after another, and before they entered the house, Xue Daddy and Second Uncle Meng had already greeted them, and when they saw that it was him, they were both stunned, and then laughed again. Second Uncle Meng didn't want to rush forward without thinking about it, but he was secretly dragged by Xue Daddy, and then he came back to his senses, quickly paused, and bowed to Zhao Cheng, and said: "It was the prince who arrived in person, and it was really a long way to go." ”
Zhao Cheng was not angry, he only smiled at him slightly, and said, "Second Uncle will come again, I won't dare to come in the future." After that, he lowered his head and patted Brother Ping'er on the shoulder, and introduced with a smile: "This is my second brother, my name is Brother Ping, and my uncle and second uncle also call him that." ”
Snow Daddy and Second Uncle just laughed and didn't dare to answer.
Zhao Chengjin also knew that the two of them had scruples, so he didn't embarrass them at this time, and continued to ask with a smile: "I heard that Grandma and they have arrived?" ”
"Lord Shizi, you are really well-informed!" Second Uncle Meng smiled and praised: "Noon is coming, you know so soon." ”
"I counted the days, and thought that it would be about these two days, so I sent people to guard the city gate, and I saw the eldest and second uncles. However, there were many people at the gate of the city, so the subordinates did not go forward to ask for peace to the grandmother, but only went back to the house to report the letter. He paused, and his gaze involuntarily moved to the courtyard, "This courtyard is good, although it is delicate, it is also very elegant. While talking, the person had already led Brother Ping to the yard.
Everyone thought it was Xue Daddy and Second Uncle Meng's colleagues who came, so they all avoided entering the house. Mrs. Meng was packing up her things with a few children, when she suddenly heard Second Uncle Meng's fuss from the yard, "Mother, Ah Chu, Xiaoxue, come out and see who is here?" ”
Since Second Uncle Meng said so, then-the person who came was Brother Shun! Xu You immediately guessed, and Ah Chu rushed out like an arrow off the string, slammed into Zhao Chengjin's arms, and shouted loudly with joy, "Brother Xiaoshun, it's Brother Xiaoshun." Grandma, sister, come out quickly, it's Brother Xiaoshun who is here! ”
"Oh-" Xu Yu responded, slowly put down the things in his hand, and followed Mrs. Meng out of the door without hurrying.
Today's sun is very good, although it is evening, the golden sunset shines on Zhao Chengjin's body like Buddha light, illuminating his black hair into light gold, his face seems to be shrouded in a faint light, and his eyebrows are becoming more and more gentle, only a pair of eyes are as bright as the brightest star in the night, so bright that people dare not force them to look.
The sixteen-year-old boy had not yet grown up, and he looked a little green in a moon-white robe. I haven't seen him for a few years, he has grown a lot taller, just like an adult, but his body is still a little thin, but his back is straight, like a strong bamboo in the wind, obviously he is gentle and harmless, but somehow, it seems to have some indescribable sense of Zheng Zheng.
"Ah Chu," he smiled and patted Ah Chu's back, held him with his other hand, and smiled at Mrs. Meng and Xu You, "Grandma, and Xiaoxue." His gaze swept over Xu You's face, and he didn't stay for long, as soft as a feather gliding. Glimpsing her in men's clothes, the corners of Zhao Chengjin's mouth involuntarily hooked, and he quietly glanced at her again, and then quickly looked away, not letting anyone notice.
Brother Ping looked at them curiously, and soon, he turned his attention to Ah Chu, who was not much younger than him.
"Brother Shun is here," Old Lady Meng's face showed a look of surprise and joy, she did not politely call him the prince, which made Zhao Chengjin very happy, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. "This is Brother Shun's younger brother?" The old lady looked at Brother Ping and smiled, beckoning to him, "This little appearance is exactly the same as Brother Shun." ”
Brother Ping was also very happy, "Everyone says that I look like my eldest brother." After that, he pointed at Ah Chu again and said, "This brother and that brother also look alike." When he said the word "brother", he hesitated slightly, tilted his head and looked at Xu Yu with some doubts, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Chengjin with an inquiring expression.
Old Mrs. Meng couldn't help laughing, glared at Xu You reproachfully, and said, "This naughty bag is all trick-or-treating, why don't you hurry up and change your clothes back, you won't make people laugh at it if you dress like this." ”
Xu You smiled at Brother Ping a little embarrassed, and quickly went into the house to change into women's clothes. Since Zhao Cheng sent people to Yunzhou, the Meng family has hardly bought clothes, and Xu You's set was also given by Zhao Cheng, with flowers the size of rice grains and thin leaves embroidered on the goose yellow gown, which is not gorgeous, but it is also elegant and fresh, and it is not rude to wear it to meet people.
Everyone was sitting and talking in the hall, the second aunt was busy boiling water and making tea, and Xu You also went over to help. After a while, the two of them entered the house with tea. Brother Ping was the first to turn his head and look at her curiously, as if he wanted to figure out why she suddenly changed her appearance, Zhao Chengjin looked at her and smiled slightly, got up and took the teacup from her hand, looked at her eyes and thanked her, and then pointed at Shen Rong and said, "Xiaoxue still remembers him?" ”
Of course she remembers! Xu You raised his head and smiled at Shen Rong, opened his mouth and called "Ah Rong", Shen Rong was stunned for a moment, his face instantly turned slightly red, and he stammered: "I...... Girl...... Do you still recognize me? In Shen Rong's opinion, they had only met once, and he had almost forgotten the appearance of the little girl many years ago, and he never expected Xu You to recognize him at a glance.
Even the Meng family was a little surprised, and the old lady couldn't help but glance at Shen Rong a few more times, and asked curiously, "Xiaoxue has seen this little brother?" ”
"I saw him when I followed Daddy into Beijing before, and he was with Brother Shun." Xu You explained, handing him another cup of tea. Shen Rong hurriedly took it, raised his head and took a big sip.
After so many years, everyone has a lot to say. The old lady accompanied the nagging for a while and then went to the kitchen with the second aunt to prepare dinner, and Xue Dad and Second Uncle Meng saw that they were happy with the young people, so they also took the opportunity to avoid it.
Zhao Chengjin didn't say much, and he listened to it most of the time. He looked very serious when he listened, and his deep and beautiful eyes would look at each other, without blinking, and occasionally nodding or "um", this little response seemed to greatly stimulate Ah Chu, and the little guy became more and more uncontrollable, and it was simply gushing.
“…… At the time of the war, we lived in the mountains, and it snowed a lot, and I was afraid that if it wasn't a foot deep, we couldn't go down the mountain at all. Fortunately, Brother Xiaopeng's house is not far away, and he always comes to the door and invites us to go out to hunt birds. Brother Xiaoshun, have you ever shot birds? Brother Xiaopeng's slingshot is good......"
Brother Ping was a little unconvinced, "My brother doesn't use slingshots, which are only used by children, he uses bows and arrows!" He could hunt, and last time he hunted a deer in the mountains. ”
Ah Chu's eyes suddenly widened, "Really? It's amazing! ”
When Brother Ping saw him like this, he immediately became proud, and couldn't help but praise Zhao Chengjin's ability, only to hear Ah Chu's two eyes shining, and he was so excited that he said incoherently, "Next time...... Not...... I followed along...... Brother Xiaoshun...... Would you like to take me there too? ”
Zhao Chengjin's attention was not on this, he nodded with a smile, and asked casually: "Hu Pengcheng is also good?" ”
"Well," Brother Ping nodded, "Brother Xiaopeng is very good, he always comes to the house to play, and he also gave a lot of things when we left." That's right-" He became excited again, turned his head to Xu You and said, "Sister, didn't Brother Xiaopeng say last time that they would also come to the capital?" I don't know when it will come, but we'll pick it up when the time comes. ”
"Hu ...... They also entered Beijing? The smile on Zhao Chengjin's face froze for a moment, and soon returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Don't forget to tell me when the time comes, I will also go to greet you." ”
Such...... Not good. The prince of Prince Rui's mansion personally went to the city gate to greet him, and if Lord Hu knew his identity, he would not be so frightened that he fell off his horse!
