Chapter 127: I Can't Help It
As if no one expected the other party to say this, Jiuniang and Zhu Ying's mother and daughter stared at each other for a while, and just when Zhang Shou was unconsciously worried that they would have a dispute, the two of them laughed at the same time.
"Mother, my grandmother and father have always told me that you were a heroine back then, just right, you taught Ah Shou, I watched and learned from the side, and I won't lose your prestige in the future!"
"Listen to your dad's nonsense!" Jiu Niang's face was rarely red, but she didn't even sweep her mother-in-law into it, she just said angrily, "I forgot, your grandmother spoiled you, and your father indulged you, and your temperament was wilder than I was at the beginning, and my martial arts may be more exquisite than I am now." You and Ah Shou will be husband and wife sooner or later, so it's good for you to teach him. It's just ......"
Without waiting for Jiuniang to say just three words, Zhang Shou, who couldn't bear it, hurriedly coughed heavily and said, "I really don't need it!" I just learned to defend myself with both hands, and I wasn't ready to train to become a master, so I could teach me if I found a random general in the house. Besides, if I want to be a master of martial arts at my age, it's too late, isn't it? ”
Zhang Shou originally just wanted to prevaricate the matter, but he didn't expect that he would answer in unison.
"Not necessarily!"
Seeing that her mother bowed slightly, signaling herself to speak first, Zhu Ying immediately smiled and said, "Ah Shou, don't be deceived by those legendary scripts and the like." In fact, it doesn't take too early to practice martial arts, because children's muscles and bones have not yet grown, and they practice too much when they are young, and they are easy to get injured, and their progress may not be fast. Unless you are a gifted person, you can start practicing at the twelfth or thirteenth. ”
"Of course, people with good talents like my father and my eldest brother have been taking medicinal baths since they were young, and when they started to grow their bodies at the age of seven or eight, they were supplemented with all kinds of good things. Although you are older, our Zhu family's family martial arts are very powerful, and it is not too late for you to practice now. ”
Can family martial arts be passed on casually......
Zhang Shou couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Tai, but he didn't want this gentle and kind old man to smile at him: "I think that after Jiuniang entered the door, she also taught a lot of family martial arts to Yingying's father, and even Da Lang also benefited a lot." The family heirloom is self-cherished, and it will only be lost in the long run, and only the pearl will be dusty, so at the beginning of my dynasty, Emperor Taizu advocated exchanges. ”
It seems that he inadvertently talked about Emperor Taizu again, so he was a little sad, Mrs. Tai paused, and then said casually: "It's just that now the atmosphere is not as good as it was at the beginning, whether it is family knowledge or martial arts, and gradually they also like to hide it and not teach it to outsiders." If Ah Shou wants to learn swordsmanship, it is better to go back and let Ah Liu practice here first, and then let him teach you well. ”
Zhu Ying didn't expect her grandmother to come up with such an idea, and couldn't help but sneer: "Grandmother! ”
Seeing that Jiu Niang looked at him with some doubts, Zhang Shou explained with a smile: "Ah Liu is the child that his mother picked up at the beginning, he seems to have learned martial arts with Hua Qiye, and his art industry is quite good. ”
It's not a secret, maybe Zhu Ying told Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang when she was happy, so Zhang Shou also said it. After Ah Liu had already confessed to him that Hua Qi was actually from the royal family, he also wanted to see how the Zhu family reacted to this madman in Zhu Ying's mouth. Sure enough, when he mentioned this, Mrs. Tai was fine, but Jiuniang laughed.
"It turned out to be the madman who killed people like dogs!" said that killing people was like killing dogs, but this Mrs. Zhao Guo rarely smiled, but she said to Zhu Ying, who was still a little unhappy, "Yingying, the apprentice taught by that madman in Hua Qi must be as good as him, and when Ah Liu learns swordsmanship, he will teach Ah Shou again, which is much better than half-witted people like us." ”
Zhu Ying could only agree hesitantly, and Zhang Shou quickly diverted the topic. When he and her came out of Qing'an Hall, Zhang Shou did not immediately go back to the guest house to see the Wu family, but looked at Zhu Ying, who was still a little stupid on the side, and said softly: "Yingying, there is something, I have been thinking about it for a few days, but I don't know if it is suitable or not, so I want to ask you." ”
Temper comes and goes faster, this is Zhu Ying's consistent character. She immediately put the little annoyance behind her, and asked with great interest, "What's the matter, tell me about it?" ”
"You know, Lu Sanlang's individuals, I also received a lot of them at the beginning, and the money of twenty-four people was added together, to be honest, it was a lot. Most of them are silk and satin cloth, and there are also some gold and silver, and it is a waste to keep the bottom of the box, so I plan to use it, of course, not because I lack money to spend, but for my mother. ”
When Zhu Ying reached the question on her lips, she immediately swallowed it back. Since Mrs. Tai saw Zhang Shou but lost her temper in person, she asked a lot of things from her grandmother, and when Jiuniang came back, she pried out more details from her mother, who couldn't hide her words. Therefore, even if neither of them said it explicitly, she was rarely willing to use her brain, but she still realized one thing.
Wu is probably not Zhang Shou's biological mother.
She knows everything, with Zhang Shou's cleverness, of course, it is impossible not to know, but Zhang Shou is still willing to treat Wu as a mother, and she naturally doesn't care - anyway, when Wu sees her, she always speaks softly and slowly, and smiles, not at all like the evil mothers-in-law who treat their daughters-in-law harshly from low backgrounds in some people.
"Well, are you going to use this money to buy any gifts for Aunt Wu?"
Zhang Shou didn't expect Zhu Ying to think of buying a gift for the Wu family, and couldn't help but smile: "You're half right, you want to buy a gift, but it's not an ordinary gift." Originally, the small mansion that Mr. Qi lent us in the back street of Zhao Guogong's Mansion was very livable, but because of the enrollment of Jiuzhangtang, it was not suitable for living for the time being. And I don't have time to spend with my mother, so I'm going to find something for her to do. ”
Seeing that Zhu Ying was surprised, he said sincerely: "I want her to open a small shop, first, to kill time, and secondly, to let Yang Hao and Zheng Hu have something to do, and by the way, they can also make some money." What do you think, how about opening a fat powder shop? ”
Zhu Ying, who finally understood, thought about it seriously this time, and then shook her head: "Ah Shou, in the business of rouge gouache, there are all kinds of old shops in the capital, and Aunt Wu, a newcomer, may not be easy to gain a foothold." I don't use anything outside, and most of my rouge gouache is made by hand with gold and quicksilver. ”
Seeing that Zhu Ying really thought about it carefully, Zhang Shou, who was just using the three words rouge shop as an introduction, couldn't help but feel that this serious girl was really cute.
He really couldn't help the question he had from the village, and asked: "Yingying, it was the same in Cuiyun at the beginning, why did you never think that I was too rich and a philistine?" ”
"Hmm......" Zhu Ying was suddenly surprised, she stared at Zhang Shou's eyes for a long time, and finally said with great certainty, "Because Ah Shou, you have never been short of money, and you have never put money in your eyes, how can you be a philistine?" How can a person who is obsessed with money and philistine teach people to memorize poems and ninety-nine songs for free in the village; How could a person who is a philistine with money follow Grandpa Ge to learn arithmetic? ”
"Everyone knows that there are a lot of people in the court who think that things like the scriptures are not elegant, they are purely strange and obscene, and they are not as good as those sage books, like Grandpa Ge, they all revealed such talent later. You have been famous for your arithmetic for such an early age, and it will be difficult to step into officialdom. How can a warrior like you who rises to the challenge be said to be a philistine? ”
Zhang Shou was going to say how I am not short of money, why don't I put money in my eyes, in this world, it is difficult for a penny to defeat a hero! However, when Zhu Ying compared him to a warrior who rose to the occasion, he was unconsciously silent.
After a long moment, he asked thoughtfully, "However, you have never persuaded me, and if I mess around like this, the road ahead will be very difficult." ”
"Why should I persuade you? Although my arithmetic talent is so poor that Grandpa Ge often scolds me, since that is what you think is right, I also think it is a good thing, you stick to the end, of course it is right! Moreover, you can make people like Lu Sanlang who everyone thinks are waste snacks become geniuses, you can make Zhang Chen convince you, and you can make those old-fashioned people speechless...... Wouldn't that be great! ”
Zhu Ying's eyebrows fluttered as she spoke: "I'm not a woman like Princess Yongping, it seems that as long as she can't pass the top Jinshi, she won't even look at it!" My dad used to tell me that it's talent to kill enemies on the battlefield. It is the talent who designs the pavilions, and the talent who knows how to build bridges and roads...... Anyway, Ah Shou, what you want to do, just do it, I have your backing! ”
Even if he was in the Zhao Guogong Mansion at this moment, Zhang Shou, who was so excited that he couldn't calm down when he heard such a declaration, couldn't help it anymore. He stepped forward, and suddenly reached out and took the radiant girl in front of him into his arms.
At that moment, what men and women did not kiss, what gentlemen and gentlemen were polite, all of them were left behind by him.
It was only after the soft body was really held in his arms that he suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly let go and took a step back, then bowed his head and apologized: "I'm sorry for being abrupt, I don't know why I can't help myself." ”
Zhu Ying's face was flushed, and she hadn't recovered from Zhang Shou's sudden movements at all. However, when she suddenly discovered that Zhang Shou's handsome face was also showing a suspicious flush under the light, the shyness she had just given birth to was immediately thrown out of the clouds.
She coughed unnaturally and muttered, "If it were someone else, I would have knocked me to the ground a long time ago!" ”
Zhang Shou only felt that the little charm that had just permeated the surroundings disappeared in an instant in Zhu Ying's domineering declaration. He couldn't help but glance at this small hall, and seeing that there was no one in front of him, he was a little suspicious that the Zhu family had deliberately left enough space for them. It took him a long time before he suppressed these thoughts and forcibly turned the topic back on track.
"Since the rouge shop is not easy to do, I remember that my mother used to like embroidery and weaving very much, but then she was afraid of hurting her eyes, and gradually she didn't move the needle much, and occasionally when she mentioned it, she still had some regrets. Now that she has nothing to do, then, recruit a few people for her to learn the arts, she can pass on her skills, so that she will not stay bored, what do you think? ”
Ah Shou also said that he was a philistine, look, this is not to open an embroidery workshop to make money, but to find apprentices for the Wu family to inherit skills?
This time, Zhu Ying didn't answer, she quickly glanced at Zhang Shou, and then said with a smile: "If you can trust me in this matter, then I'll help you pick someone!" ”
Zhang Shou suddenly said: "Okay, I can rest assured that I can be a hands-off shopkeeper!" After all, I'm afraid I'll be living in the country often in the future, and I may not be able to come back often. ”
Sooner or later, the truth of his life story will be revealed, and maybe the time for him to call Wu his mother will not be so long. And before that, she had to endure the loneliness of not having his "son" in this strange Zhao Guogong Mansion, since this is the case, let her have something to do and a few companions who can talk.
And it's also a bit of preparation for other things......
