Chapter 365: Sending a Letter
There are some skills that a noble son must know. For example, the recitation of poetry and the order of drinking are all extremely elegant things. Horseback riding is certainly one of them. Zheng Junyan is proud of his good equestrianism on weekdays, but compared with Meng Zijun, he is far worse. Meng Zijun did not show off, deliberately slowed down his speed, and walked side by side with him.
The fresh clothes and angry horses naturally attracted a lot of attention. Zheng Junyan is gentle and handsome, and has an outstanding temperament. Mencius was heroic and radiant. The two have their own styles, but they are equally good.
"I was happy before, why is my face elongated now." Zheng Junyan glanced at Meng Zijun and teased with a smile: "Who made you unhappy?" ”
Meng Zijun forced out a smile: "I'm in a good mood, which eye of yours is unhappy when he sees me." ”
Zheng Junyan smiled meaningfully: "It's because of the letter that Cousin Lan asked you to send!" ”
Meng Zijun: "......"
"You have an interest in Cousin Lan, how can I not see it." Zheng Junyan smiled faintly and said, "My Fair Lady and Gentleman, this is not a shameful thing. What is there to dare to admit? ”
Yes, from his previous life to this life, she is the only woman he likes, why hide it?
Meng Zijun quickly thought about it, and said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from my cousin." I do like Cousin Lan, and I'll have to worry about my cousin matching me more in the future. "If you want to get closer to Ye Qinglan, there will definitely be a lot of places to ask Zheng Junyan for help in the future.
Zheng Junyan couldn't cry or laugh at his brazen behavior of beating snakes with sticks, and he rarely put aside the demeanor of a noble son, and gave him a blank look: "The beauty you think." Do you want me to help with a fluttering word? ”
Meng Zijun grinned and said, "You can choose from all the major restaurants and restaurants in the capital." ”
"That's pretty much it." Zheng Junyan unceremoniously blackmailed: "However, just one meal is not enough." At least ten days. "A good banquet costs at least ten taels of silver, and it must cost a lot for ten days in a row.
Meng Zijun almost heard the sound of blood dripping from his purse. I had to respond cheerfully: "No problem." ”
was interrupted by Zheng Junyan like this, and most of the previously tangled and gloomy mood was dispersed, and his mind was a lot clearer. Ye Qinglan just sent a letter to Shen Changan, which didn't mean anything at all. He's thinking nonsense here, isn't he messing up himself? I'd better wait until things are figured out.
After arriving at the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, Meng Zijun handed over the name post. Seeing that the two of them were extraordinary, the porter naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly handed the name card to Shen Changan's hands.
After Shen Changan saw the name on the name post, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he actually went to the door to greet him.
Met Meng Zijun. Shen Changan's first reaction was to punch him hard: "Good boy, you really came to the capital." ”
Meng Zijun had long been accustomed to Shen Chang'an's way of expressing intimacy, and he didn't say anything when his chest was numb, but he punched back hard, and scolded with a smile: "I've been here for a month, and you didn't even know." It's not interesting enough! ”
Shen Changan laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, it's me who is wrong, I will drink at noon today to make amends!" ”
has been in the barracks for a long time, and Shen Changan has also been contaminated with the habits of many soldiers. For example, words and deeds are informal, loud voices, and so on. In Mencius's opinion. This is the true temperament of a man, much stronger than those aristocratic sons who pretend to be reserved.
However, Zheng Junyan is a typical aristocratic son, accustomed to the gentle and elegant style of slow and gentle. When I came into contact with a man like Shen Changan at first glance, I was really a little uncomfortable......
I really don't know how Cousin Meng became good friends with such a rough and unruly martial artist! Zheng Junyan muttered secretly in his heart, but there was a decent smile on his face. After Meng Zijun introduced himself. He politely said hello: "Shen Gongzi, I'm here to bother you today." ”
Just like Zheng Junyan can't get used to Shen Changan. Shen Changan was also impatient to deal with the reserved and elegant son, and replied casually: "Zheng Gongzi doesn't have to be polite." Let's go in and talk again. As he spoke, he happily pulled Mencius into the house.
Zheng Junyan was slightly unhappy in his heart, and followed without hurrying.
But Shen Changan's pace is fast and fast, one step can keep up with ordinary people's two steps. Meng Zijun has also practiced martial arts, so he can naturally keep up. Zheng Junyan, who has always paid attention to appearance and demeanor, including walking posture, is a little difficult. After walking for a short while, he simply slowed down.
Meng Zijun naturally wanted to slow down and wait, but Shen Changan was a little impatient, and muttered in a low voice: "Is your cousin not full in the morning, why did he walk so slowly." ”
Meng Zijun smiled dumbly, and could only lower his voice to explain: "My cousin is gentle and elegant by nature, and he is not used to walking too fast. ”
Shen Changan looked disapproving, hindering Meng Zijun's face, and finally didn't say anything. Zheng Junyan was actually a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he was much stronger than Shen Changan's concealment skills, and he never showed half a point on his face. It's just that in the following time, he rarely opens his mouth to speak.
Shen Changan didn't mind his silence and few words, and kept chatting with Mencius with great interest. In Shandong for nearly a year, most of them lived in Governor Meng's house, and unexpectedly had a similar temperament with Meng Sangongzi and became good friends. After more than a month of separation, the two naturally had endless words. naturally snubbed Zheng Junyan.
At lunch, Shen Changan and Meng Zijun's extravagant amount of wine made Zheng Junyan even more staggered. The two of them drank not with a wine glass, but with a bowl, and they drank it all as soon as they craned their necks. Zheng Junyan felt that his scalp was numb when he looked at it, and naturally he resolutely refused to mix. Fortunately, the two didn't force him to drink like this.
When the jar of wine was almost drunk, Shen Changan and Meng Zijun both had six or seven points of wine.
"You kid, how good it is to come to the military department, just in time to lead the troops with me in the future." Shen Changan glared at Meng Zijun dissatisfiedly: "It's good for you, you have to go to the Criminal Department to supervise and arrest the department." That kind of place is bitter and tiring, there is no oil and water, and your brain is not in the water, why do you have to go to that kind of place! ”
Meng Zijun said with a smile: "People have their own ambitions, and the places that you all can't look down on, I think it's very good, and you can just show your strengths." "He was a criminal policeman in his previous life, and he can give full play to his strengths when he enters the criminal department in the future.
Seeing that he was so persistent, Shen Changan didn't persuade much, but just smiled and said: "You can go to toss, and when you are tired of tossing and don't want to go, come and talk to me, and I will transfer you to the military department." ”
Meng Zijun responded casually, and touched a bowl with Shen Changan.
Zheng Junyan had already put aside his chopsticks, and when he saw the rise of the two of them, it was not easy to urge. After thinking about it, he glanced at Meng Zijun: "Cousin, don't forget Cousin Lan's entrustment." ”
Of course, Meng Zijun did not forget. The letter in his bosom was fluttering, but inexplicably heavy. As soon as he thought that this was a letter written by Ye Qinglan to Shen Changan, his heart was sour. I really want to hide the letter quietly...... Of course, this is just a casual thought.
Meng Zijun cheered up, smiled and took out a letter from his arms: "Brother Shen, this is the letter that Cousin Lan asked me to bring to you. ”
Shen Changan drank a lot of wine, his mind was groggy, and he was far less flexible than usual, and he didn't even think about who this Cousin Lan was for a while: "I don't know her, what did she send me a letter for?" ”
Meng Zijun was stunned for a moment, and then his mind spun quickly. Shen Changan didn't even know the name of his sweetheart, and now this reaction can only show one problem, that is, Shen Changan's sweetheart is not Ye Qinglan at all! I was completely misunderstood before. There must have been another reason for this letter......
After figuring out this layer, Meng Zijun suddenly felt overjoyed, his whole body suddenly relaxed, and he stuffed the letter into Shen Changan's hand with a smile: "Entrusted by people to be loyal to people, in short, I have to send the letter to you." ”
Shen Changan glanced at the envelope casually, and when he saw the name on the envelope, his eyes suddenly widened, and most of the wine flew away.
Ye Qinglan! How could he forget her, she was Gu Xiyu's closest friend and sister. Isn't it equivalent to Gu Xiyu sending a letter to herself?
Shen Changan's face flushed with excitement, and he couldn't wait to open the envelope and take out the letterhead, which was only a short two lines of words. It is straightforward and easy to understand, as long as you are literate, you can understand it.
Come to Dingguo Mansion in three days, and you will meet the people you want to meet.
What exactly is written on it? Why did Shen Changan keep giggling after watching it?
Zheng Junyan glanced at Meng Zijun curiously, and Meng Zijun was also confused. What was certain before, suddenly became a little uncertain again. It's just a letter, as for making Shen Changan like this?
It was rude to peek at someone else's letter, and Mencius tried his best to resist the urge to sneak a look. deliberately smiled and teased: "It's just a letter, look at you." ”
Shen Changan's eyes lit up, grinning non-stop, but he refused to say anything, just carefully folded the letter and put it in the envelope, and then put it in his arms.
This series of actions, Meng Zijun who watched it secretly felt bitter in his heart.
Zheng Junyan glanced at Meng Zijun with sympathetic eyes. A good brother suddenly becomes a rival in love, this is not a pleasant feeling!
Shen Changan naturally didn't explain much, and drank with great interest. When I'm in a good mood, I drink more than usual. On the contrary, Meng Zijun became more and more bitter the more he drank, and less than eighty percent of the alcohol was exerted, and he was soon drunk by Shen Chang'an.
I came on horseback, but when I went back, I was in a carriage......
Zheng Junyan finally got the drunk Mencius into the carriage, and he had to take care of him along the way, and after returning home, his neat and clean clothes had already been crumpled, not to mention the wolf.
Seeing him like this, Ye Qingning was angry and funny: "Why did you come back like this." ”
Zheng Junyan smiled bitterly: "Don't mention it, it's all to blame on that Shen Changan." ”
At the mention of Shen Changan, Ye Qingning's expression was a little subtle. (To be continued......)
