Shirtless and carrying thorny thorns, Zhu Er, who was downcast, no longer looked like the lively rooster last night, but looked very much like an honest quail, only his eyes were still rolling around. Seeing this scene, Zhang Shou felt that Zhu Ying's second brother was not as good as Lu Sanlang, and even far worse than Zhang Chen, who sometimes boasted of being a righteous son.

Seeing that Zhu Er raised his eyes and quickly glanced at him, his eye circles were black, and he was clearly beaten, and it was estimated that Zhu Ying did it, Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh. When he smiled, Zhu Er suddenly glared at him angrily, but when he saw Zhu Ying looking over, he hurriedly smiled again.

"Yingying, you asked me to apologize, don't you see that I'm here? Look at these thorns, and the thorns, I'm very sincere......"

Zhu Er is such a gentleman, Cui Yun grabbed a lot of things, Zhang Shou was not surprised by this kind of person, and said casually at the moment: "The second young master shouldn't come to me, he should go to Mrs. Tai first to sincerely apologize." ”

"I said I went to my grandmother first, and he had to come to you first." When Zhu Ying said this, she suddenly paused, and looked at her second brother with a little unkindness.

No wonder she felt wrong just now, good second brother, you still want to calculate me even in order, is this to make grandmother feel that Ah Shou is arrogant and rude?

Zhu Ying immediately snorted heavily, then grabbed Zhu Er and walked out: "Ah Shou, I'll take him to kowtow to my grandmother first, and then come back later!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Ying went out again in a hurry as when she came, Zhang Shou saw that Mother Li's eyes were delicate, and after smiling and saluting, he hurriedly chased out, he shrugged his shoulders, and then turned his head to look at Qi Liang and Deng Xiaodu.

"Yesterday you two probably didn't sleep well all night, do you want to go out with me for a walk today, or stay here to catch up on sleep?"

"Out of course!"

Qi Liang and Deng Xiaodao burst out five words almost in unison, and then glanced at each other again.

What are you kidding, if Mr. Xiao goes out, but they stay in this Zhao Guogong Mansion, in case that Mrs. Tai calls the two of them over for questioning, who of them can bear it? Anyway, it's just that I haven't slept all night, and at most I'm sleepy, it's better than staying here and fidgeting!

Zhang Shou also hopes that Deng Xiaodu and Qi Liang will take him around the capital, as for Zhu Ying, the eldest lady's goal is too big, whether it is women's clothing or women's clothing disguised as men's clothing, it is too conspicuous. However, before he could think about how to persuade the pair of grandparents and grandchildren today to let him go out for a walk, Li's mother went and returned, but the smile on her face looked a little reluctant.

"Shou Gongzi, Princess Yongping's Yuehualou Wenhui is today, and she specially sent you a post."

The name Princess Yongping, Zhang Shou once heard Zhu Ying mention it once - in the eldest lady's narration, the princess who was born on the same day, the same month, and the same year was a complete negative character, not only stepped on her lotus lantern, but also ridiculed her, but was angrily counterattacked by the eldest lady, and it was not good. And he was not very interested in these palace personnel, and he never asked Lu Saburo and the others.

But now that he received this inexplicable post the next day after arriving in the capital, he was surprised and helpless, and said lightly: "I'm an unknown person, how could Princess Yongping send me a post?" I promised the teacher yesterday that I would take Xiao Qi and Derpy to him to calculate a few questions, and if there is such a thing, Lao Li's mother will refuse for me. ”

Mother Li didn't expect Zhang Shou to refuse so simply and directly, and a smile on her face suddenly showed a smile that was much more sincere than just now. Even so, she still presented the post with both hands, and seeing that Deng Xiaodao hurriedly took the initiative to pick it up and send it to Zhang Shou, she still explained a few sentences.

"Princess Yongping has been talented since she was a child, she is very good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her poetry and songs are also quite good, plus the atmosphere of this dynasty has always been open, she once went out on patrol with the emperor's micro-clothes, and met three talented people in Yuehua Tower, and after a question, the three people were willing to bow to the wind, and their reputation spread out, and she also took advantage of the situation to ask the emperor, and held a meeting in Yuehua Building every month, and observed it upstairs."

"Of course, the curtain is hanging upstairs, she will not meet with the talented people who attend the meeting, and outsiders will not be allowed to go upstairs."

Speaking of this, she paused and lowered her eyelids again: "The emperor often sends the big eunuchs around him to accompany him, so the scholars who get the post all regard it as a great honor." After all, who can resist the temptation of being able to make a name for themselves before the imperial examination? If it weren't for the fact that all the posts were named, some people would do anything to get a post. ”

There is only one word missing from the title, and what he is doing now is actually quite similar, does that golden branch and jade leaf want to be a princess of Taiping?

Zhang Shou said in his heart, but he teased: "Mother Li said that Princess Yongping's poetry and song are quite good, but what can be opened on the Yuehua Tower is not a poetry club, but a literary club?" ”

"Because Princess Yongping said that poetry and poetry can certainly see the literary brilliance, but no matter how good the poem is, it may not be able to be a good official, it may not be beneficial to the court, and it is not as good as the article to see a person's character and learning."

Regarding the statement of Princess Yongping relayed by Li's mother, Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile: "Although I don't know any poetry and songs, I have to say that people who write good poems really have to work hard, how many can't write good articles?" ”

"Besides, can the article show a person's character and learning? Can you tell if a person can be a good official? Most corrupt officials are also selected after reading articles in the field, right? There is a saying that what you get on paper is shallow in the end, and you never know that you have to do it. Is there no one who does a good job in the article, but doesn't know anything about being an official? ”

"The opening meeting is the opening meeting, and it is just a matter of selecting talents who can write good articles, why bother to despise poetry and songs and elevate articles?"

"Ah Shou, you said it well!" As soon as he said this, there was an admiration outside, followed by Zhu Er, who had a delicate face, staggered into the room, followed by Zhu Ying.

Miss Zhu's face was full of pleasant red at this time, and she didn't know if she was in a hurry to run, or she was happy because of Zhang Shou's words: "Princess Yongping always thinks that Lu Fangweng's poems are too shallow, and if you want me to say, it is because she herself is too shallow!" You're going to go when that woman sends a post? No, no! I'll accompany you, Xiao Qi and Derpy to see Grandpa Ge! ”

At this point, Zhang Shou thought it was over.

To his surprise, Mrs. Tai learned that he was going to Ge Yong's place, insisted that he change his outfit again, and then asked the girl to bring clothes.

It was only at this time that Zhang Shou discovered that in addition to the set of Qinglian gauze shirts that had been given to him as a birthday gift, Mrs. Tai had prepared other sizes of clothes that fit him, and there were more than one, several clothes of different colors.

Zhang Shou really had nothing to say about such a style, so he could only choose a relatively simple indigo shirt. He had just dressed up, and Zhu Ying had already dragged Zhu Er, who was neatly dressed, to come again, saying that he wanted to take someone to Grandpa Ge to be edified.

Seeing Zhu Ying talking and desperately glancing at herself, Zhang Shou didn't know that Zhu Ying wanted the second brother to be edified, which made a group of noble children in Cuiyun's room complain about the sea bombardment of arithmetic problems? He glanced at the eldest lady of this pit brother angrily, and didn't say yes or no, but simply said: "Okay, it's not early, let's go out." ”

"Ahem, the eldest lady and Shou Gongzi are there? The slave and maid have something to say. ”

At this moment, there was a cough outside, and immediately after, Jiang's mother entered the house. She glanced around at the crowd and bowed.

"Concubine Yu just sent someone here, saying that she hadn't seen the eldest lady for a long time, and at noon today, she also went to Yuehua Building, and asked the eldest lady to meet her."

Seeing that Zhu Ying was taken aback, she immediately flicked her sleeves in annoyance, and then she sighed and said: "Concubine Yu said that if you can, please ask Shou Gongzi to bring two students to the meeting, so that people can have a good look at the demeanor of Gemen's disciples." Mrs. Tai said that it was nothing if she didn't go, but the princess sent the post first, and Concubine Yu specially passed the message, just go. ”

She sent someone to inform Master Ge, so that he would not wait. She was very quiet, and simply accompanied you to Yuehua Building! ”

Zhang Shou was just too lazy to go to this kind of invitation that obviously had the meaning of the Hongmen banquet, but at this time, he seemed to be unable to shirk it, so he said with a smile: "Okay, let's go." I, a countryman, should have a look at the top literary club in the capital. ”
