eighty-eight

"Don't remove the gauze!" Before leaving, Zhao Chengjin suddenly opened his mouth and admonished. Xu You was stunned, and then laughed dryly.

"Ming'er, I'll go over to see you, if I see you tear the wound apart......" He didn't speak, those deep and beautiful eyes stared at her without blinking, seeing Xu You's heart furious, and quickly surrendered, "Got it, housekeeper!" ”

On the way home, Ah Chu kept babbling, what did Brother Heping play today, who won, how powerful he was, balabala...... Xu You has been leaning against the wall of the car in a daze, and as soon as she closed her eyes, Zhao Cheng looked at her with a slight smile, her eyes were bright, and her eyes were shining, which made people's hearts hairy.

As soon as she got home, Mrs. Meng called her into the house, and asked carefully about what happened in the palace, but Xu You didn't mention Zhao Chengjin bandaging her wounds, but just said with a serious face: "Brother Shun repeatedly told us not to leak half of this tea-making business, and he also said-" Xu You deliberately paused, lowered his voice and whispered a word in Mrs. Meng's ear, Mrs. Meng immediately jumped up in shock, and her face changed.

"This ...... No...... Wouldn't it...... "This title is not a cabbage, how can you get it casually, not to mention, this method of making tea is not their Meng family." Mrs. Meng suddenly felt weak, and hurriedly said: "Did you tell Brother Shun, this method of making tea was taught by others, we use it like this, if someone comes to the door in the future, what should we do?" "The old lady is a sincere person, the first reaction when encountering this kind of thing is not surprise, but anxiety and worry, this alone, Xu You feels that there is an old lady watching this family, and there will be absolutely no accident.

Xu You patted Mrs. Meng's back and whispered comfortingly: "Grandma, don't worry, Brother Shun is responsible for this matter, and we didn't say that this method of making tea is our own original, as for what His Majesty the Emperor thinks, that's his business." Besides, there is no shadow of this title, so I'll tell you about it, Daddy didn't mention it. ”

Xu You knew in his heart that once this method of making tea was pushed away, its rich benefits would definitely attract everyone's covetousness, relying on their Meng family alone, even if there was Rui Wangfu behind them, it would be useless, it would be better to sell His Majesty the Emperor, donate this method, and ask for a title from him. Give him such a big bargain, His Majesty the Emperor should not be stingy, Xu You can remember that the craftsmen who repaired the palace in the previous dynasty and the marquis were also sealed!

In the evening, Mrs. Meng convened a meeting between Xue Dad and Second Uncle Meng quietly, and Xu You, as a party, naturally "attended" the meeting. Talking about this matter carefully, the big guys are stupid, even the always calm and calm Xue Dad was a little speechless, and he was dumbfounded for a long time before he asked Xu You in disbelief: "Xiaoxue, you tell Daddy honestly, where did you learn this method of making tea?" ”

Xu You put the big monk's excuse aside, and heard that Second Uncle Meng couldn't close it with his mouth open for a long time, but Xue Dad still didn't believe it, and shouted with a calm face: "Daddy asked you about business, don't make up nonsense." Hurry up and explain it honestly! ”

It's strange, even the cunning Zhao Chengjin has been deceived, why can't he fool Snow Daddy? Xu You lowered his head and quickly thought of various excuses, and made up again: "Actually...... I dreamed it when I was asleep in those years," she looked up and saw that Xue Daddy's face sank again, so she closed her eyes and raised her voice, "I just know that you don't believe it, so I made it up!" I told the truth, you don't believe it, it's obviously a dream! ”

No one believed the white-bearded monk she made up before, but this time she made a ghost, but Mrs. Meng believed it and said: "Xiaoxue doesn't look like she's lying this time, who has nothing to make up this kind of story?" When you hear it, it's like you're talking nonsense. Seeing the old lady speaking for her, Xu You immediately made a grievance, and began to have red circles in her eyes while pouting, "I knew that Daddy was going to scold, so I didn't dare to say it, in case it was heard by outsiders, I was afraid that I wouldn't say that I was a monster, and I was arrested and burned to death......"

"Ahh When Mrs. Meng saw her shed tears, she was immediately distressed, stepped forward to hold her in her arms, and coaxed softly: "Xiaoxue don't cry, Grandma believes in you." With that, he glared at Xue Dad and Second Uncle Meng fiercely.

Xue Daddy rubbed his temples, knowing that he couldn't ask any other tricks, and said helplessly to Mrs. Meng: "Mother, this matter is very important, I just want to ask clearly." If this method of making tea is really pushed away, it turns out that the people who make tea have no way to live, and our family will bear the brunt of being blamed, and when the time comes—"

"When the sky falls, His Majesty the Emperor is on your shoulders, what are you afraid of!" Mrs. Meng said confidently: "Didn't Xiaoxue say that Brother Shun wants to donate this method to the imperial court?" Since it is the will of the imperial court, what does it matter to our family? Besides, Brother Shun didn't say that he wanted to ask for a knighthood for our family, and when the time comes, you will have a knighthood, are you still afraid of those small crumbs? Of course, the old lady thinks more long-term, but there are some things that are not easy to say now.

Xue Daddy had no way to take the old lady, but he refused to back down, thought about it, and said to Xu You: "Xiaoxue, you go back to sleep first, I have something to say to your grandmother." ”

Although Xu You was a little reluctant, he didn't dare to go against his will, so he quietly squeezed his eyes at Mrs. Meng, got up and went back to the house. After she left, Xue Dad said to Mrs. Meng in a deep voice: "Mother, I know that you are all for my good and for the good of the Meng family, but this matter is related to Xiaoxue's future, and I really don't dare to risk her." ”

"What do you mean?" Old Lady Meng blinked her eyes and asked a little slyly.

"Xiaoxue holds the technique of making money, can the saint rest assured that she will marry off?" Father Xue said bitterly: "I'm afraid that when His Majesty summons her into the palace by a holy decree, Xiaoxue's life will be ruined." ”

Second Uncle Meng was shocked when he heard this, and his face also showed an anxious look, Old Lady Meng's face was solemn, and there was a strange light in her eyes, and after a while, the old man replied slowly: "This is not ...... Is there still Brother Shun? ”

She looked up and glanced at the surprised Snow Daddy, and said unhurriedly: "Don't say you didn't see it, Brother Shun has been running home twice in the past three days, and things have been sent to Yunzhou like no money for a few years. I didn't agree before, after all, our two families are not in the right household, no matter how careless Brother Rao is Shun is, Xiaoxue won't be able to enter their door at all. But I now understand more or less that no matter whether this marriage can be completed or not, Brother Shun is a good child. Why did he take this over? Although he curry favor in front of the emperor, but in the end he is hated, if it is not for Xiaoxue, for our family, with his cleverness, can he do this kind of thing? ”

Xue Dad rubbed the corners of his eyes quite uncomfortably, and said helplessly: "Mother, Brother Shun is the son of Rui Wangfu, and he will inherit the title in the future." "How many princes are there in the entire capital? The old man in his seventies and eighties is staring at a large number of people, not to mention that Zhao Chengjin is young and young, and his character and talent are all one in a million! How many pairs of eyes are staring at him like a wolf, no matter how smart and clever his daughter is, but the family background is there, because of this tea-making thing, he really got the title, and in the eyes of those powerful people, he still can't be on the table. Xiaoxue can enter the door, but I'm afraid she can only be a concubine. Snow daddy is not allowed to happen in any way.

"Let's take a look." Mrs. Meng said: "It depends on whether the two of them have fate, anyway, Xiaoxue is still young, if Brother Shun can't do it here, we will quickly book her family affairs, I think the little brother of the Hu family is not bad......"

Why did this get to Hu Pengcheng again...... Snow Daddy has a growing headache. My daughter is older, but it's a very annoying thing.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Chengjin actually came to the door again. As soon as Snow Daddy heard the movement outside, his face immediately sank, and he suddenly felt that he didn't know how to face that child.

But Zhao Chengjin never mentioned tea, but talked to Xue Daddy and Second Uncle Meng about Ah Chu's study, "...... In my opinion, the Xiangshan Academy in the north of the city is not bad, the head of the academy is the great Confucian Ye Zhen, and the teachers who teach are also really talented and learned. Brother Ping didn't want to go to the study, so the house was ready to send him over, if Ah Chu was also with him, he would have a companion. ”

Second Uncle Meng was surprised and delighted at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he soon began to retreat again, and said cautiously: "This ...... I'm afraid it's not really. "They have been in the capital for a long time, and they have heard the name of Xiangshan Academy, so they naturally know that it is the first-class place to study in the capital except for the study.

Zhao Chengjin came to them to mention this matter, to put it bluntly, he took the initiative to help, Second Uncle Meng thought of the help that Zhao Chengjin had helped the Meng family in recent years, and his heart was empty, "It's still not bothering the prince," Second Uncle Meng rubbed his hands and whispered: "That Xiangshan Academy is not a place where ordinary people can go, we Ah Chu just find a private school." ”

Zhao Chengjin couldn't guess his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Second uncle is afraid that he will trouble me?" Originally, Brother Ping was going to go, and he had already greeted Ye Shanchang, but there was an exam when he entered the school, but I couldn't decide it with a word. The reason why Xiangshan Academy is famous is because Ye Shanchang recruits talents in an eclectic manner, not to mention Ah Chu, who is a student of ordinary people's families, as long as he is outstanding in talent and studies hard, he can still be enrolled. The second uncle might as well let Ah Chu go with me to Xiangshan Academy to meet Ye Shanchang, if he has the ability to pass Ye Shanchang's level, could it be that the second uncle still prevents him from going? ”

In terms of eloquence, where is Second Uncle Meng Zhao Chengjin's opponent, he was persuaded by him in a few words, and even couldn't help boasting proudly: "My family Ah Chu is still very smart, he used to study in Mr. Fang's school, and he can get the first ...... every time."

"Then it's decided." Zhao Chengjin smiled very gently, "I'll come to pick him up tomorrow morning." ”

Snow Daddy felt very weak on the side.

After taking this matter seriously, Zhao Chengjin went to the study next door to take a look at Ah Chu by the way.

He didn't rush into the door, leaned over the half-open window and looked into the study a few times, and soon found Xu Yu sitting at the desk. The gauze that he told him not to remove yesterday has long been missing, and she is holding a brush and bowing her head to write, her small round face is slightly calm, and she looks very serious.

Xue Daddy and Second Uncle Meng were behind him, Zhao Cheng kept standing at the window and peeking, coughed lightly, walked to the door of the study and lightly buttoned it, smiled at Ah Chu, and pretended to be surprised to look at Xu Yu and said, "Xiaoxue is also there." ”

Xue Daddy couldn't help but glance at him: This pretense is too fake!

When Xu You heard Zhao Chengjin's voice, her hand suddenly shook, and a drop of ink dripped on the white paper, falling a round black dot, she immediately frowned, exhaled helplessly, looked up at Zhao Chengjin and said, "You're here." After that, he glanced at Xue Daddy and Zhao Chengjin curiously, a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't speak.

"The prince said that he would send Ah Chu to Xiangshan Academy to study." Second Uncle Meng said to the two of them with a smile, and when Ah Chu heard this, he immediately jumped up from the stool with joy, "Is it the Xiangshan Academy in the north of the city?" Where can I go to study? That's great! ”

Xu You turned his head to look at him, this is probably the same as the feeling of receiving an admission letter from the top university in China in modern times? Maybe a little bit more.

"It's not decided yet." Zhao Cheng said modestly to Ah Chu: "Ming'er, I'll take you to the academy to meet the mountain chief, he may have to take a test for you, if you don't pass, you won't be able to enter the door." ”

Ah Chu jumped with excitement, "I'm not afraid, let him take the test ......" He was really excited, running around the room, and seeing that Xue Daddy and Second Uncle Meng had a pain in their heads. Seeing that Ah Chu was in the house, Xue Dad was not afraid that Zhao Chengjin would get too close to Xu You, so he rubbed his temples and went out.

As soon as they left, Zhao Chengjin deliberately thought of a few questions to test Ah Chu, Ah Chu immediately quieted down, bit the tip of his pen to meditate on how to answer, and he himself went around to Xu Yu and asked her curiously, "Xiaoxue, what are you writing?" ”

"The process of making tea," Xu You shook his somewhat sore arm and said with a bitter face: "There are quite a lot of words." ”

"Then I'll write it for you." Zhao Chengjin glanced down at the familiar font on the rice paper, and a strange sense of satisfaction arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and his voice became more and more low and gentle, "You say, I'll write ......"

The author has something to say: everyone reacts too late at ten o'clock, and try to change it to eight o'clock in the evening in the future

PS, it won't become a farming text, it's just an episode of making tea or something, what is the purpose, it's obvious
