Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly ran out of the door, walked quickly to the gate, and saw Brother Zhang standing in front of the door.

"Brother Zhang, are you back?" Zhao Mingcheng shouted loudly, but before the person arrived, the voice had already arrived.

Zhang Ruzhou frowned, and was worried, when he suddenly heard someone calling him, looked for a sound, and saw Zhao Mingcheng coming, changed color when he came, became a smile, stretched out his hand to greet Zhao Mingcheng, and said, "Brother Zhao." ”

Zhao Mingcheng quickly ran to Zhang Ruzhou and stopped, gasped and said to Zhang Ruzhou: "Brother Zhang, Mingcheng knows that you will definitely not leave me." We're two brothers going to drink together! Sure enough, you didn't leave. ”

Zhang Ruzhou was confused, he hadn't said a word yet, how could he hear Zhao Mingcheng say so much.

But before it was his turn to speak, he heard Zhao Mingcheng say so much at once, and Zhang Ruzhou thought in his heart: "It's just the right relationship." ”

Immediately smiling, Zhang Ruzhou nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Ruzhou hasn't been able to drink two sips of wine with Brother Zhao, so he left in a hurry, and he can't say anything, so Ruzhou came back again." ”

Zhao Mingcheng said beautifully in his heart: "It's so good, Brother Zhang is back to accompany me again." ”

Zhang Ruzhou said in his heart: "I'll lead him." ”

Looking at Zhao Mingcheng's innocent smile, Zhang Ruzhou suddenly changed his words and said, "Oh, Brother Zhao, when are we two brothers drinking?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng was not ready, and suddenly Brother Zhang was able to come back, so he was already very surprised, and suddenly heard that Brother Zhang said that he wanted to ask himself when. Zhao Mingcheng didn't know what to do, and immediately thought about it in a blink of an eye, and his face was already happy. couldn't help laughing, and said loudly: "Brother Zhang, you said, you are a guest from afar." When you say to drink it, we will drink it whenever you want. ”

Zhang Ruzhou smiled and said, "Where do I know this?" I'm a guest from afar, so naturally I should let you, Brother Zhao, call the shots. ”

Zhao Mingcheng was so happy that he arrived home, he was scared left and right, and he didn't say anything. After pausing for a moment, he said, "Otherwise, I'll go now, Mingcheng will go and prepare to go." ”

Talking. Zhao Mingcheng turned around and was about to order.

Seeing this, Zhang Ruzhou stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Slow first, Brother Zhao, you and my brother drink and catch up." Naturally, it was noon. It's still early. There is no hurry. ”

Zhao Mingcheng nodded and smiled: "Yes, no hurry, no hurry." By the way, I should invite you in to talk, why do you let Brother Zhang stay at the door all the time? Oh, Mingcheng's happiness was forgotten. You come in first to speak. ”

Zhang Ruzhou waved his hand again and said, "This is easy to say." Say. Ru Zhou wants to chat with you, Brother Zhao, how about the two of us take a walk in the yard? ”

Zhao Mingcheng didn't even think about it. nodded and said, "Okay, Mingcheng is naturally willing to accompany him." ”

Zhang Ruzhou said happily: "Okay, let's go in and talk." ”

Zhao Mingcheng stretched out his hand and led Brother Zhang into the house, stared at Brother Zhang intently, and said to Brother Zhang: "Brother Zhang, what are you doing?" ”

Zhang Ruzhou smiled awkwardly and said, "I was in a hurry, but I went out to do it, and then I came back." Since Ruzhou has an appointment with Brother Zhao, how can you break your promise? Besides, you and I have a deep brotherhood, where can I leave Brother Zhao and you here alone? I want to come back and be with you too. ”

When Zhao Mingcheng heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, nodded again and again, patted his hands on each other, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang is still thinking about me and thinking about me." Mingcheng was very happy. I'll just say, where can Brother Zhang leave me here alone and leave me alone? ”

Zhang Ruzhou rolled his eyes slightly, then nodded and smiled: "Of course, where can Ruzhou leave you here alone?" Ru Zhou thought in his heart that he could have a good drink with Brother Zhao again! ”

Zhao Mingcheng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, good." ”

Zhang Ruzhou said in his heart: "I just went to ask Zhizhou for the general judgment, and asked them under the pretense of Lord Cai's prestige." They didn't even know the whereabouts of Miss Cai and the surnamed Lu. Presumably, Miss Cai didn't show off when she came, and no one else knew. But Zhao Mingcheng should know. ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "Brother Ruzhou, my courtyard is not as good as the capital, the scenery is not beautiful, and the place is not big. There's no lyricism, so you just get together and walk around first. We'll go have a drink later. ”

Zhang Ruzhou casually echoed: "Oh, yes, everything is up to Brother Zhao." ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "It's really good, our family is lively now." ”

Zhang Ruzhou said: "Brother Zhao, do you remember when our brothers drank together in the Appreciation Pavilion?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng recalled the past, remembered the laughter and laughter of the past, and suddenly felt that the vicissitudes of the world had passed, and many years had passed in a blink of an eye, and he and Brother Zhang were not as proud and ambitious as they were back then.

Zhang Ruzhou always paid attention to Zhao Mingcheng's face, wanting to see what he could tell him. Suddenly seeing him crying, Zhang Ruzhou was surprised and said, "Brother Zhao, what's wrong with you?" Is there anything sad about it? ”

Zhao Mingcheng wiped away his tears and said bluntly: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhang, Mingcheng just remembered the three of us, when the three of us were studying, how majestic it was, but now?" What has become of it? ”

Zhang Ruzhou smiled lightly twice, and then said: "Oh, it will be the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance!" ”

Zhao Mingcheng listened to this imposing verse, and thought about his current down-and-out appearance, but felt that this poem was a sarcasm for himself, smiled contemptuously, and then said: "Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately." ”

Zhang Ruzhou's eyes widened suddenly, and then he nodded and said, "Yes, yes, isn't this the poem that Brother Lu recited back then?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng nodded, but he didn't have the strength of Fang Cai, and said in a low voice: "Yes, but what have become of the three of us brothers now?" Brother Zhang, you are a person who reads, why did you fall into sending letters with others? ”

Zhang Ruzhou was disgusted in his heart, and secretly thought: "It is a great honor for me to be able to say a word for Lord Cai." And I can still use this to build a relationship with Lord Cai, why not? ”

Zhao Mingcheng shook his head lightly and said, "Look at me again, my father was in the court back then." I am Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. Anyway, he is also an official. And now? Our family is down to this place. I also looked at the mountains and the mountains, humming, just looking at myself small. ”

Zhang Ruzhou came here to inquire about Miss Cai's whereabouts, where did he want to hear Zhao Mingcheng say these words, he was disgusted, but his face was not good, so he had to smile softly: "Oh." Yes. ”

The more Zhao Mingcheng thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, although he was expelled back, he didn't have to be an official. You don't have to deal with those people anymore. But when he was expelled back to Qingzhou, the degraded reputation was always bad, and people would laugh at themselves when they heard it, and they couldn't raise their heads.

Zhang Ruzhou casually echoed: "Brother Zhao, it's not easy for you." ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "Why is it just me? Brother Ruzhou, what about you? Aren't you? You have been erudite for many years. Years down. Isn't that what it looks like? ”

Zhang Ruzhou endured the anger in his heart and secretly thought: "I will soar, you don't know." ”

Zhao Mingcheng said to the bottom of his heart, the more he talked, the more energetic he became, and immediately shed a few tears, and then said: "Alas, our brothers are like this, there is no way. ”

Zhang Ruzhou said in his heart: "I'm just waiting for you to tell me about Lu Defu!" How do you just say you and me. Except that to say I mean you. I've heard enough. ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "Brother Ruzhou." Let's both go and drink. ”

Zhang Ruzhou said: "What's the matter, is it noon?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng cried: "The words have gone to the heart. Mingcheng wants to use wine to kill his sorrows. ”

Where does Zhang Ruzhou want to drink? It's just that I want to inquire about Lu Defu's whereabouts, and it's really boring to talk to him at this time, but I still echoed: "Oh, yes." However, Ru Zhou persuaded Brother Zhao to raise a glass to eliminate sorrow and sorrow, why should you bother? ”

Zhao Mingcheng spoke sincerely, and said: "Yes, raise a glass to eliminate sorrow and sorrow, but Mingcheng is now at this time, he only thinks about eliminating sorrow, as for whether it is more sorrowful after a while, then I don't care." ”

Zhang Ruzhou laughed and said: "Brother Zhao is casual, happy, and a talented person." ”

Zhao Mingcheng also laughed and said: "Mingcheng has fallen so far, what kind of charm is there?" Civilians only. ”

Zhang Ruzhou said in his heart: "I can't be so polite anymore, it's better to quickly ask about the whereabouts of Miss Cai and that Lu Defu." ”

Rolling his eyes, Zhang Ruzhou said: "Oh, the three of us brothers were in high spirits back then. ”

Zhao Mingcheng nodded and said, "Of course it is." ”

Zhang Ruzhou continued: "It's a pity, now you are deported here. I've become a messenger with others, alas, what about Brother Lu? He is good, but he is the son-in-law of Lord Cai. ”

Zhao Mingcheng waved his hand and sneered: "Where can he do it?" He's just like that, he's ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Mingcheng suddenly stopped his mouth, and thought in his heart: "No, I'd better not say more." ”

Zhang Ruzhou listened carefully, and when he heard Zhao Mingcheng say this, he immediately pricked up his ears and listened more carefully, but he didn't expect Zhao Mingcheng to stop talking.

Zhao Mingcheng looked to the side and said vaguely: "Oh, he's just like that." ”

Zhang Ruzhou hurriedly asked, "How is he?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng said vaguely: "Although he is Lord Cai's son-in-law, he was pointed at by others, saying that he made an inverted door in Cai's house, so he ate and drank in Cai's mansion, and his life will not be worrying in the future." Brother Lu is an anxious person, where is he willing to hear people say this about him? Naturally, he left. ”

Zhang Ruzhou then asked, "Where did he go?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng thought for a while, and then said, "How do I know this?" I've been reprimanded here, I don't know anything. ”

Zhang Ruzhou was anxious, stretched out his hand and was about to accuse Zhao Mingcheng, but suddenly thought about it, put his hand down, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Alas, yes, Brother Lu is not easy." ”

Zhao Mingcheng thought for a while, and then said, "Brother Zhang, were you ordered to come and talk to Miss Cai?" ”

Zhang Ruzhou's heart jumped faster, his eyes stared at him randomly, and said, "What are you asking for?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "You and I are brothers, what else can Mingcheng do?" I'm just asking you. ”

Zhang Ruzhou said in his heart: "What's the harm in telling him? I just don't know why he keeps hiding it, and he doesn't want to tell me Lu Defu's whereabouts. ”

His brows suddenly opened, and Zhang Ruzhou immediately said: "There is nothing to do, Ruzhou was ordered by Lord Cai to come to find Miss Cai and bring Miss Cai a letter, that's all." ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "Is this all?" ”

Zhang Ruzhou nodded and said: "Of course that's it, Ruzhou is not from the Cai family, what else can I bring?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng said in his heart: "Oh, I see. Ahem, it's the lady who thinks too much. Miss Cai thinks too much, why is it bad? ”

Zhang Ruzhou looked at Zhao Mingcheng's appearance and immediately asked, "Oh, then Brother Zhao, do you know the whereabouts of Brother Lu?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng thought about it, but shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

At this moment, he listened to Li Qingzhao's voice behind him: "Xianggong, Brother Zhang, why are you two here?" ”

The two looked back and saw Li Qingzhao running over.

Li Qingzhao ran over in a few steps, looked at Xianggong, and said in a panic: "Could it be that Xianggong has already told Brother Zhang the whereabouts of Sister Yun'er and Brother Lu?" ”

Zhang Ruzhou panicked in his heart and thought: "Li Qingzhao still has a heart, and he is not better at deceiving than Zhao Mingcheng." She's coming over at this time, what should I do? ”

Li Qingzhao still pretended to be calm, and smiled with Zhang Ruzhou: "Since Brother Zhang is back, why don't you go to the lobby and sit down?" Mother-in-law and Mother are waiting for you there! ”

Zhang Ruzhou said: "Oh? Is it? ”

Li Qingzhao smiled and said: "Of course, Brother Zhang, you are a distinguished guest, why don't we fulfill the friendship of the landlord?" ”

Zhang Ruzhou said in his heart: "Okay, since I've arrived here, look for an opportunity to ask again." ”

After agreeing, Zhang Ruzhou followed Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng to the lobby.

When Zhao's mother saw Zhang Gongzi, she first smiled and said, "Zhang Gongzi, where did you go for a walk in the early morning?" Why don't you say a word? ”

Zhang Ruzhou was worried, and he didn't know how to explain it without saying goodbye, but when he heard Mrs. Zhao say this, he hurriedly came down the steps and said, "Oh, Ruzhou is new here, and I'm not familiar with this place, so I went out for a walk." ”

Mother Zhao nodded and said, "Oh, okay, since you're back, let's sit down and rest." ”

As she spoke, Zhao's mother asked her subordinates to serve tea to Zhang Gongzi.

Zhang Ruzhou smiled and said, "Thank you Aunt Zhao." ”

Mother Zhao smiled and said: "You come to us, we should treat Zhang Gongzi and you as a distinguished guest, where can we talk about what to thank or not?" Zhang Gongzi has any request, just put it forward. Although the old body here is not as good as the capital, it can also entertain you. ”

Zhang Ruzhou said in his heart: "How can I ask? It stumped me. (To be continued.) )
