Zhao Junrong is fourteen years old this year and is a very straightforward and lively little girl.

Shen Tianshu had met her before, and at this time, he was sitting at a table eating, and there was no embarrassment when she was chattering and talking non-stop across from her.

"Sister Shen, it's really good that your father is working in Huguang, our family followed my father to Chengdu Mansion, which is very chaotic over there, my father rarely lets me go out, let alone go out of the city. I've been there for six years, and I don't even know what's fun outside the city, so who can believe it? When I went back, I didn't know what to say. ”

"I have a travelogue about Sichuan and Shu in my room, which is very detailed about Chengdu Mansion and the surroundings, if my sister is interested, I will ask someone to send you the travelogue when I go back."

Zhao Junrong pursed his mouth and said, "Thank you, Sister Shen, but I'm the most impatient to read." ”

Shen Tianshu saw that she was cute, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little face with baby fat, and said, "Otherwise, you take time to go to my room every afternoon, and I'll tell you about it." ”

"Really?" Zhao Junrong's eyes lit up instantly, leaned forward, approached Shen Tianshu and said, "I'm a real person, I can't hear others being polite to me, my sister said so, then I really go every day?" ”

"Anyway, I'm just reading a book to relieve boredom when I'm idle, you go to me, let's talk and laugh, wouldn't it be better to pass the time? But I still have to say hello to Mrs. Zhao, don't delay my sister's business. ”

"What can I do?" Zhao Junrong waved his hand and said, "I'm going to find my sister to read, it's too late for my mother to be happy, and I won't say that I don't seek progress every day!" ”

Mrs. Zhao waited for Mrs. Zhao to eat in the room, and planned to come over to see how the two girls got along, but when she got closer, she heard the last two sentences of her daughter, and couldn't help but read: "Amitabha, if Miss Shen can let my monkey sit down and read a book, I have to thank you with a heavy gift!" ”

Here the little sisters ate and drank, talked and laughed, and they looked like they were familiar at first sight.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao didn't bother much, and went to the flower hall to see Zhao Qu and Shen Zhonglei.

The two people sat together, and at first they talked about the old days, and soon talked about the things they had encountered in each other's office in the past few years and what they had learned in handling political affairs.

Mrs. Zhao listened to a few words outside the door, so she didn't go in to disturb, and only told the person at the door: "If it's cold today, the wine and food are changed frequently, you can't eat cold wine and cold dishes, and persuade them to do it, don't let them drink too much, and look back and feel uncomfortable tomorrow." ”

The people promised again and again.

After Mrs. Zhao left, the topic in the house quickly changed again.

Shen Zhonglei poured Zhao Qu a full glass of wine and asked, "Brother Zhao, what position will you fill when you return to Beijing this time, do you have some eyebrows in your heart?" ”

Zhao Qu sighed when he heard this, drank all the wine in the cup, and said, "What is the situation in my family, don't you know Shi Xian?" I'm completely blind to the news in Beijing, and I don't know anything! If I can make some achievements in office this time and return to Beijing early, I am already favored by Long Live Lord, and as for what position I will fall into later, I can only resign myself to fate. ”

"Why don't I write to my family and ask my family to help find out?" Shen Zhonglei had a good relationship with Zhao Qu in the academy at the beginning, but now seeing that he is devoted to political affairs, he is also very optimistic about his future, and he sincerely wants to consolidate this friendship, and it is not difficult to ask his family to help find out the news.

Zhao Qu was overjoyed when he heard this, hurriedly picked up the wine jug, filled it for Shen Zhonglei and himself, and raised his glass and said, "Then I will thank Brother Xian." ”

"Brother Zhao is so polite."

After the two clinked glasses, they both drank it all.

As the strength of the wine slowly came up, the topic of the two people gradually diverged, what officialdom anecdotes, gossip in the market, when they talked about the heat, they were having a drink, and they laughed even more when they chatted.

The people at the door didn't dare to disturb the interest of the two masters, and when they saw that they were really drunk, they couldn't control their drinking, so they had to go to Mrs. Zhao to come over and end up.

At this time, it was already late at night, and Xu couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Originally, she bought the deer and prepared to roast it to coax Shen Zhonglei, but today she was angry and asked someone to slaughter it in advance, and she ate a lot of anger at night.

Venison is a pure yang thing, and it is roasted and eaten, and it is naturally hot and difficult to sleep after eating too much.

Suddenly, she heard a noise outside, she turned over and asked the maid on duty to go out to see what was going on.

After Man Qing went out, he quickly turned back and said, "Madam, it was the old man who was drunk, and the mother-in-law helped him to send him back." ”

Although he was angry, but his grandfather, Xu Shi still cared, and he didn't fall asleep, so he simply put on a dress and walked out, saying: "I'll go out and take a look, you hurry up and cook a bowl of sobering soup and bring it, if the master is drunk and doesn't drink sobering soup, he will have a headache the next day......

"Madam......" Man Qing opened her mouth, wanting to stop the Xu family, but she didn't dare, so she swallowed back the words behind her, bowed down and said, "The slave is going to cook the decanting soup." ”

Xu Shi went out of the door only to find that Shen Zhonglei had not entered the courtyard at all, and was pulling and pulling with a few mothers-in-law outside the door.

This is what it is like!

Xu Shi thought as he walked out quickly, bypassing the shadow wall before he heard what Shen Zhonglei was saying.

"You, don't, don't pull me, I, I don't, don't go back, I, I want, I want to go to Pingniang's room."

These words were like a basin of cold water on the head, pouring Xu's heart cold.

Several mothers-in-law outside the door had already seen the Xu family, and they didn't dare to pull Shen Zhonglei anymore, so they all stepped aside and stood with their hands down, wishing that they hadn't heard Shen Zhonglei's words just now.

Xu Shi was angry, and instead of being angry, he laughed and said, "What's the matter, didn't you hear what the master said?" Since the master is going to Pingniang's room, why don't you hurry up and wait for the master to come over! Otherwise, in this very cold day, who has just eaten hot wine, and who is pulling and pulling outside, in case of catching the cold, which of you can afford this responsibility? ”

The mother-in-law was silent, and when they saw that Xu Shi left Shen Zhonglei and turned back, he also closed the door with a bang, so he had to step forward to help Shen Zhonglei and send people to Pingniang's room in the West Cross Courtyard.

Ping Niang had already rested at this time, and when she got up and answered the door, she couldn't help but be startled when she saw that it was Shen Zhonglei.

But the Xu family was able to push Shen Zhonglei out of the door, as a concubine, she didn't have such courage and position, so she could only help her mother-in-law help Shen Zhonglei into the house and settle down.

Not long after, Xu even sent a maid to send a sobering soup, which made Ping Niang's heart even more uneasy.

She is Xu's dowry maid, so she naturally knows Xu's temperament.

Shen Zhonglei had already stayed with her for two nights before, and he had to come over today when he was drunk, even if Xu didn't say anything on the surface, the vinegar jar in his heart would have been overturned long ago.
