Zhao Xiu leaned against the window and looked down, wanting to take a good look at the excitement of the lantern festival again, and still regretting that he couldn't go to guess the lantern riddle in person, but he saw a familiar figure, looking up at her with a lantern.

She couldn't help but smile and beckoned to Gao Zhen.

Gao Zhen smiled back and walked into the building.

Zhao Wei originally only stared at Mi Yingzhi at the table, but when he saw that his sister's movement was different, he turned his head to look, but he was already a step late, and he didn't see Gao Zhen's figure, and he felt strange: "What's wrong with my sister?" ”

Zhao Xiu happily announced to him: "The prince happened to be passing by, and I just called him up." ”

"The prince is passing by......" Zhao Wei almost didn't choke, and quickly cleared his throat, "How could he pass by?" I obviously have something to do today......" But when he spoke, Gao Zhen arrived at the door. The mother-in-law who was waiting for the orders outside the door hurriedly came in to report. Zhao Wei secretly glared at his sister: "My cousin and cousin Mi are here, how can he come over?!" ”

Zhao Xiu was stunned, and then realized that he seemed to be too reckless. She doesn't care about what men and women are defense, but Mi Yingzhi is a serious ancient lady, even if she is more open-minded than ordinary girls, it doesn't mean that she will be willing to meet foreign men.

But the mother-in-law's statement when she reported to the Zhang family and Mrs. Mi made her feel much more at ease: "A senior prince said that he was a relative of the old lady, so he booked the private room next door, and asked if it was convenient to come and ask the old lady for peace." ”

Zhang looked at his grandchildren in surprise: "This Gao Gongzi is ......" Zhao Wei coughed: "It should be the prince, my sister saw him by the window, but I didn't expect him to book the room next door." But I was secretly annoyed in my heart, how could Gao Zhen know about booking a private room and let him book the next door? But he thought it through. Book another room, and these acquaintances can go over to talk, and they won't be abrupt to the Mi family. But in this way, it is possible for the Zhang family to drive his grandson over to accompany him. Isn't that a big deal?

was worried, and Zhang really said: "The prince actually came to enjoy the lanterns?" Can you bring someone? Brother Wei hurried over to take a look. I have a guest here, so I won't go to say hello, Brother Wei will ask for me. ”

Zhao Wei was helpless. I had to agree. Zhao Xiu hurriedly said: "I'll also go over and say hello to the prince." I haven't seen him for a few days, and I don't know if the prince is healthy, and Brother You can do things properly? Zhao Wei stared at his sister: "You have to ask the prince and Brother You." Why don't you ask me? Zhao Xiu glared at his brother: "You run errands outside all day long, do you really know what is going on in the garden?" Even if I want to ask you, it's hard for you to say a word, so it's better to ask the son directly. ”

The brother and sister snatched each other's whites. Zhang also smiled: "The prince is not an outsider, it's okay for Sister Xiu to say hello in the past." After greetings, come back quickly, and ask your brother to accompany him. ”

And so it was. Zhao Wei secretly screamed bitterly, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and obediently took his sister to the next door. before entering the door. I saw that the lights in the room were dim, and there was a very delicate and beautiful lantern on the table, which was better than the one that Zhao Xiu had just sent someone to buy. Zhao Wei screamed in his heart. first secretly shouted "The stinky boy is really attentive", and then regretted "Why didn't I think of it".

Zhao Xiu can't take care of his brother. Already smiling and running over: "Ah, it's so beautiful, where did this lamp come from?" "If you look closely, how do the colorful paintings on the marquee look familiar? She quickly recognized: "Didn't I draw it?" ”

Gao Zhen smiled and said to her: "Many of the paintings that Sister Zhao practiced on the boat were thrown away. I thought it was a good drawing, but it was a pity to throw it away, so I secretly hid it, and now it comes in handy. Yangzhou is a place of beautiful scenery, and my sister's snow scene is also well painted, and the characters and houses are as if I have seen them with my own eyes. I asked people to make a marquee, and when the light turned up, it was as if I had seen the scenery of Yangzhou with my own eyes......"

Zhao Xiu originally had the intention of practicing painting, and painted these landscapes casually, but he didn't expect Gao Zhen to make it into a marquee, and it was so exquisite. Zhao Xiu was very moved in his heart, and he couldn't put it down while holding the lamp. Gao Zhen waved his hand: "I'll give it to my sister." She was so happy that she could hardly say how to paint, and after a while, she said: "When I go back, I will paint a few more, even if I don't make a marquee, I can make a folding fan, a screen or something, and I will give you a gift another day." Gao Zhen smiled: "Then I'll wait for Sister Zhao's gift." ”

The boy and girl looked at each other and smiled, like a pair of jade people. Zhao Wei suddenly felt that he was a little redundant.

He couldn't help coughing a few times, showing his sense of existence: "Why did the prince come over suddenly?" When I came out, I heard that there was a newcomer who wanted to enter the park, and he had to go to see the prince, and he would accompany him all the way. ”

Gao Zhen smiled slightly: "It's just two old account rooms recommended by the political envoy Si Yamen, my father just saw him, since someone took them down to do things, what does it matter if I'm not there?" It's rare to come to Hangzhou and encounter the Lantern Festival. My father also specially instructed me to come and see it, and tell him more about it when I get back. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiu's feelings fell again: "It would be nice if the prince could see it......" She suddenly thought to herself, "I wonder if anyone has made a wood carving of the lantern festival situation that can make people?" ”

Gao Zhen said softly: "If you really want people to do such wood carvings, you don't have to have the scenery of the lantern festival. When he was in Jiading, the cousin of the Fenyang Royal Mansion once presented a twelve-fan rosewood screen, engraved with a prosperous picture of Jiading, and his father liked it very much. I have instructed those accompanying me to look out for similar woodcarvings on the streets. ”

Zhao Xiu immediately thought of a good idea: "If we can't collect ready-made woodcarvings, we can also find a few more good carpenters to come back." In the future, I will look for someone to paint more landscape paintings, and let the carpenter carve a screen, so that the prince can have a good view. ”

Gao Zhen also said yes repeatedly, and the two also seriously discussed where to paint the landscape. Zhao Wei was ignored again, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the private room next door, Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu heard it, and they all turned their heads nervously to listen to what was going on. In this kind of private room on the second floor of a big teahouse, the people who come to patronize it are either rich or expensive, do anyone dare to come and collide? Zhao Wei and Gao Zhen were both here, and only the female dependents were left in that room, and they couldn't help but worry.

Zhao Wei rushed out in three steps and two steps, and saw that the people who came were just crowding at the door of the private room and talking to the mother-in-law guarding the door. I didn't enter, so I secretly put my heart down, looked up again, and recognized that the person was Zhao Gongzi, the son of the Suzhou political envoy who had not been seen for many days, and I became more and more displeased in my heart, and even saved my politeness: "What are you doing here?" ”

When the son of the Zhao family saw Zhao Wei, he didn't dare to make a mistake. hurriedly saluted him politely: "I've seen Master Hou." Students pass by by accidentally. I heard that the Hou Ye and the old lady and the girl in the house are watching the lanterns here, so I came to greet them. It's just that this mother-in-law is rude and doesn't say anything about blocking the way. still refused to report to the student, which was really hateful, and the student had a few arguments with her. If there is any offense, please forgive me. ”

Zhao Wei sneered: "I don't know what rudeness this woman has." It is the female dependents who watch the lights in the private room. I have already commanded that no idlers are allowed to enter. No outsiders are allowed to disturb them. Which character on the board are you? Dare to harass too? ”

The son of the Zhao family was a little embarrassed: "Master Hou misunderstood, the student just wanted to come and ask the old lady for a ......"

"My grandmother is a duchess, and not everyone can come to greet her. Zhao Gongzi is not related to us and Jiannanhou Mansion, and it is not polite to rashly ask to see him. It was only natural for my grandmother not to want to see her. Besides, today's lantern viewing is just a small gathering between our own relatives, and outsiders disturb us for no reason. It's annoying. Zhao Gongzi should please go back, you don't have to do superfluous things. Zhao Wei was not polite to him at all. Directly issued an eviction order.

The face of the son of the Zhao family was a little ugly, but Zhao Wei said it so clearly that he didn't even save him a little face, and he continued to entangle, which was just humiliating himself. In desperation, he could only say goodbye, but before leaving, he still did not give up, and still made that polite appearance, and did not leave before leaving.

Zhao Wei stared at him unhappily and went downstairs before returning to the private room he had booked: "Grandmother, aunt, cousin, you are not frightened, are you?" Zhang frowned and asked, "Is that the son of the Zhao family again?" What exactly is he going to do? It's entangled all day long, and you don't have to worry about it! ”

Mrs. Mi was a little curious: "The old lady knows the son of Fang Cai?" ”

Zhang briefly introduced the identity of the Zhao family, and said: "On the way to Hangzhou, his mother and son were entangled all the way, always wanting to get close. As a father, why is he so flattering? Eighty percent of them are uneasy and kind! But he didn't expect to see him for a few days, and he didn't dare to stop. She said to Zhao Wei again: "Your sister is still talking to the prince in the room over there?" Although it's not good to snub the world, it's just that your sister is a girl, and it's not good to be alone with a foreign man. You let your sister come back to see the lights, and you can accompany the son. ”

Zhao Wei paused, agreed, and secretly glanced at Mi Yingzhi out of the corner of his eye, and saw that she was drinking tea with her head down, so she went out a little disappointed.

But a little guy came upstairs and looked this way. Zhao Wei was displeased, and glanced at the mother-in-law at the door: "Is that the person in your store?" The mother-in-law also saw it, and hurriedly went over to ask what was wrong. The little servant gave her a picture scroll, said something, and went downstairs. The mother-in-law took the picture scroll and said to Zhao Wei: "This is what the son of Fang just asked him to send to you, saying that he invited the girl Yazheng in the house." ”

Zhao Wei was furious in his heart, unfolded the scroll and glanced at it a few times, but couldn't help but smile. He turned around and entered the private room booked by Gao Zhen, and saw that he and Zhao Xiu were standing by the window and commenting on the lanterns downstairs with great interest, so he stopped them: "The thing sent by that kid from the Zhao family said that he wanted to invite his sister Yazheng." My sister came over and took a look, it is said that he is still a showman, and he writes really good articles! ”

Gao Zhen's face sank: "That kid still refuses to give up?!" Zhao Xiu took the picture scroll from his brother's hand, and saw that it was a fu, and I don't know if it was written by the son of the Zhao family, the theme should be to praise her beauty and morality, and express his admiration for her. It's a pity that the humanities of the endowment are limited, and the articles written seem to be ornate, but in fact they are empty, just piling up nice adjectives, and they are all on the names of the ancients, and there is no novelty at all.

Zhao Xiu couldn't help but mock: "I can write eight out of ten articles with such articles." The surname Zhao used this to make an ugly offering, what exactly does he want to do? ”

Gao Zhen said casually: "No matter what he wants to do, it is definitely not a good thing." Such a mediocre talent, he is not even worthy of lifting shoes for Sister Zhao! Let's ignore him. If he still wants to be entangled, I will help my sister teach him a lesson. ”

Zhao Xiu waved his hand: "His family will be unlucky sooner or later, why bother with him?" I'd like to know how he found out about where we are tonight. Does his family also have connections in Hangzhou? ”

Gao Zhen was stunned, turned around and glanced at Zhao Wei, and stood up. (To be continued) R466
