Chapter 17: Full Court Fang
Sitting in the carriage, Wang Zhen regained her calm and breezy expression, and seemed to have no regret about what had just happened.
As the eldest son of the Wang family, he really didn't care about the embarrassment caused by a mere hundred taels of silver.
"Did the third brother memorize the hypnotic poem just now?" Wang Zhen said.
Wang smiled: "I memorized it." ”
Wang Zhen was surprised: "So fast? ”
Fast? I've memorized it a long time ago, and I've pretended that I can't memorize it for a long time.
Wang Xiao was quite depressed, this big brother obviously thought he was a fool.
But I heard Wang Zhen say to herself: "It's still a child, children always memorize poems quickly." ”
Wang Xiao was even more depressed - you are only a child, and your whole family is a child.
Wang Zhen smiled again: "I remember that I taught you to memorize poems before, and you also told me that you memorized them, but the next day you forgot them all." Remember? Who knows how ...... Chinese food on the plate"
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Xiao with a glint of encouragement in his eyes.
Big brother, neurosis? When I'm what? Elementary school students? - Wang Xiao was speechless in his heart.
Wang Zhen is still bright-eyed, with wings in her eyes.
"It's hard work." Wang Xiao said helplessly.
"You can teach." Wang Zhen nodded, "The moon is falling and the sky is full of frost......"
Again?
The corners of Wang Xiao's mouth twitched, and he replied, "Jiang Feng is worried about sleeping. ”
Wang Zhen seemed to be a little addicted, and asked again: "Do you remember Su Dongpo's "Nian Nujiao"? ”
"The great river goes east, and the waves are exhausted ......"
Wang Xiao was afraid that something would happen to him, so he stopped after reciting it for a while, and made a dumbfounded appearance.
Wang Zhen was full of excitement and recited the second half of the words by herself.
After reciting, he also chattered several times, "Thinking about Gongjin back then...... majestic and heroic", the tone sighed, but also with yearning.
It's as if he knows Gong Jin.
After a while, Wang Zhen didn't give up, and asked again: "Do you remember "Huanxi Sha"?" ”
Big brother, you love to test others so much, you go to be a teacher-Wang Xiao said in his heart.
He turned his head, but the carriage was not big, and he couldn't avoid Wang Zhen's encouraging gaze.
All right.
This eldest brother is still raising people, and asking is the level of junior high school Chinese textbooks.
Wang Xiao had no choice but to meet his gaze.
"The blue buds under the mountain are short and soaked in the stream, the sand road between the pines is clean and mud-free, and the rain is ...... in the twilight."
Wang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and read this half of the que again in her mouth.
"And then?"
Wang Xiao had no choice but to backtrack: "Who knows that there is no less in life?" The flowing water in front of the door is still in the west! Hugh will sing the yellow chicken with white hair. ”
There was finally silence in the carriage.
Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Zhen seemed a little silent, and sighed slightly.
After a while, the carriage reached the ground.
When I looked up, it was a courtyard called 'Fang Ting'.
The pillars on both sides of the gate are engraved with two lines of poems as couplets, which are "In a hundred years, Hun Jiao is drunk, 36,000 fields", "Jiangnan is good, a thousand bells of wine, a song full of court Fang".
Wang Xiao was a little shocked when he saw this formation.
Big brother won't take himself to some Fengyue place, right? I'm still a kid.
Although he did want to grow up quickly.
"The word Fangting is taken from the name of the word brand 'Manting Fang', and it is also taken from Mr. Hedong's 'even land is a peaceful residence, and the garden is full of grass'." Wang Zhen Kankan introduced.
"Oh" - that is not a Fengyue place, Wang Xiao didn't know whether to be disappointed or relieved.
Wang Zhen, Wang Xiao, Mi Qu, a total of three people. The porter was obviously quite familiar with Wang Zhen, and called "Wang Gongzi" with a smile and invited them in.
With a graceful and curly girl in Tsing Yi, he bypassed a huge wall photo, and walked all the way through the flowers and willows like walking in the park for a while, and then heard the sound of the piano.
Then, when you turn around, you can see a lot of scholars and beautiful women, who look quite well-dressed...... Elegance.
It's really full of grass.
The kind of 'fragrant grass' where there is no grass at the end of the world.
Then there was a group of greetings such as "Brother Wang", and Wang Zhen took Wang Xiao into the table.
Sitting cross-legged, Wang Xiao looked at the case, and saw a dazzling array of dim sum and three pots of wine, delicious and delicious.
At the next table, someone introduced to others in a low voice: "That's Wang Gongzi, a single name Zhen, a righteous word, a person, and the wine for every poetry meeting is provided by him." ”
Saying that, the two of them also toasted Wang Zhenyao.
Wang Zhen nodded with a smile and raised a glass of wine.
Wang Xiaoxin said, it turns out that the eldest brother is a sponsor.
After a while, two women in white veils came over and sat down next to the two brothers to add wine.
The head of the mantis is eyebrows, and the beauty is silent and smiling, which is pleasing to the eye.
The woman sitting next to Wang Xiao said in a low voice: "The slave's name is Ruyun, and there is my sister Yusuo." ”
She smiled and had a good voice.
Wang Xiao nodded in his heart, no wonder his eldest brother likes to come to the meeting.
Sure enough, everything is inferior, only reading is high!
But I heard Yu Suo, who was sitting next to Wang Zhen, whispered: "Wang Gongzi hasn't been here for a long time. ”
Wang Zhen shook her head and laughed at herself: "Since you don't take the official career anymore, what are you going to do?" ”
Yusuo said: "People say, 'Learn to become a literary and martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family', but the slave family knows that the prince has poetry and books in his belly, and it has nothing to do with his career." ”
Wang Xiao looked sideways slightly.
This Yusuo girl is a little unusual, she is not the confidant of the eldest brother.
Wang Xiao thought about it, and looked back at Ruyun beside him again.
Ruyun's face flushed, and he reached out to pour wine.
Wang Zhen suddenly said lightly: "My third brother is still young. ”
"Yes, the slave family is rude." Ruyun's hand retracted, looking a little timid.
The atmosphere was immediately a little different.
Although he can't say it, Wang Xiao can feel that the atmosphere at his table suddenly has a sense of sitting upright, and there is no freedom at the other table.
Wang Xiaozheng was unhappy, and when he looked up, he saw two people coming over and greeting Wang Zhen.
The two of them also have a smell of young talents.
"Brother Wang."
Wang Zhen smiled and said, "Brother Fan, Brother Zhang." ”
"Brother Wang is finally here today, Miss Yusuo has been worried about you for a long time."
Wang Zhen laughed at herself: "There are some affairs in the family these days, don't blame Brother Fan." By the way, I haven't congratulated Brother Zhang on high school, it's really ...... I'll do this wine first. ”
The three of them were talking, and Wang Xiao was suddenly stunned.
This...... Isn't that who? I've been to the one in Snow Alley.
"Henglang."
"Huh."
This is the murderer who killed Luo Yuan.
Wang Xiao was a little unhappy in his heart, and he didn't know why, he just looked at the person in front of him who was unhappy - because this guy was a murderer!
……
Zhang Heng was answering Wang Zhen with a smile, his eyes turned, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of the person next to Wang Zhen who was a little familiar.
As soon as he looked at it, the wine in Zhang Heng's hand spilled out - this, isn't it that dementia!
"This is Brother Wang's third brother." The scholar surnamed Fan on the side introduced to Zhang Heng.
The two people who came over at this time, one was Zhang Heng, and the other was Fan Xueqi.
Fan Xueqi is Wang Zhen's friend and a person.
His ancestors were in business and were wealthy businessmen in the capital, but it was not until his father's generation that he entered the official career, and his family was temporarily much higher than the Wang family. But in the capital, it is only an existence that is despised by the big families.
Fang Ting was the property of the Fan family, which was specially used to entertain literati and artists.
The women in this courtyard are also raised by the Fan family, each of them is beautiful, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
In Fang Ting, the expenses of each cultural meeting are also borne by the Fan family.
This seems to be a loss of money for nothing, but the Fan family is willing to do it, and they are very enthusiastic about it.
For example, if Fan Xueqi wants to climb to the top of an official in the court, even if he only has six grades, it is actually very difficult, let alone sincere intercourse? But if he has a deep friendship with people like Zhang Heng and Wang Zhen, who knows how big officials Zhang Heng and Wang Zhen will be in the future?
It may take several generations to spend countless dollars, and the Fan family hopes to use this method to spread out their connections among high-ranking officials and nobles little by little.
From a businessman to an official family, the road is long and long.
The Fan family attaches great importance to Fangting, so Fan Xueqi is in charge of Fangting's affairs.
Fan Xueqi has some talent in dealing with people and things. For example, Wang Zhen is destined to have no chance with his career, and he still asks people to invite him every day.
For example, although he had never seen Wang Xiao, he had already understood Wang Xiao's situation, so when Wang Zhen had not yet been introduced, he was able to introduce to Zhang Heng, "This is Brother Wang's third brother." ”
"Brother Zhang." Seeing Zhang Heng stunned at this time, Fan Xueqi called again and smiled at Wang Zhen: "Presumably Brother Zhang saw Brother Ling's handsome character, so he was a little stunned." ”
As for what dementia and princess Shang, Fan Xueqi naturally wouldn't say these words.
Zhang Heng came back to his senses, smiled, and said, "Haha, it's true, it's amazing." Come, I will toast Brother Wang and Brother Ling. ”
Wang Zhen drank all the wine in the cup, poured another glass, and said, "My brother is still young and should not drink, so I will drink it for him." ”
Zhang Heng waved his hand and said, "No, Zhang understands." You don't have to drink the wine, and Brother Wang will write a good poem in a while. ”
The three chatted for a while, during which Zhang Heng's eyes wandered on Wang Xiao's face many times.
After Zhang Heng and Fan Xueqi left, Wang Xiaocai rubbed his face and sat down.
Pretending to be stupid, my face is numb.
Staring at Zhang Heng's back, he squinted his eyes slightly, and said in his heart: "This guy slapped me last time." ”
The next moment, I saw Zhang Heng turn around and glance at him again......
Wang Zhen drank a glass of wine to herself.
Fan Xueqi's enthusiasm is still the same, but Wang Zhen can still feel it: Fan Xueqi's attitude towards himself and Zhang Heng has changed subtly.
But speaking of which, Zhang Heng is a young high school jinshi with no future, but he is a lagging idler. Fan Xueqi is already too enthusiastic about himself, and he is talking about subtle changes.
"Big brother, that brother Zhang, are you familiar?" Wang Xiao asked.
Wang Zhen said: "I've only seen it twice." ”
The tone is light.
Wang Xiao could hear that his eldest brother didn't like Zhang Heng either.
One of the most enjoyable things in the world is that the people you hate are also hated by others.
It's worth a toast.
Wang Xiao drank a glass of wine, and was glared at by Wang Zhen.
Wang smiled and got up and said, "I'm going to shhh ”
When Ruyun heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "The slave family will take the son." ”
Wang Xiao followed Ruyun through the moon gate, and suddenly someone behind him shouted: "The third prince of Wang stays." ”
turned around, but saw Zhang Heng hurrying over.
Ruyun hurriedly made a blessing, only to hear Zhang Heng instruct her: "I'll take the third prince to relieve your hands, you can wait here." ”
"Yes." Ruyun recognized Zhang Heng, so he answered softly......
