Chapter Thirty-Six: The Storm Rises Again
"Yo, isn't this Xiao Tian, here to find Ruyi again?" The brocade boy said with a disdainful tone with a curved curvature on the side of his mouth.
Zhang Cheng looked at this person very suspiciously, and saw this son: dressed in a purple and black-edged robe, with a gold silk spider belt of the same color tied around his waist, his black hair tied up and fixed with a gold crown, his body was slender and straight, and he looked handsome and innate noble.
Xiao Tian's face was abnormal, with a serious expression that Zhang Cheng had never seen before.
While Zhang Cheng was looking, the brocade-robed man was also observing Zhang Cheng.
"Xiao Tian, who is this?" The brocade-robed man looked at it for a moment and took the lead in speaking.
"Zhang Cheng." Xiao Tian introduced it simply and clearly.
"Zhang Cheng?" Xiao Tian thought about it for a while, and it seemed that the name was a little familiar.
"It turned out to be Zhang Gongzi, who has been admired for a long time. In Xia Xiao asked, Xiao Tian's brother! Xiao asked politely and introduced himself.
Xiao asked? Xiao Tian's brother? Zhang Cheng was very surprised when he heard this, turned his head to look at Xiao Tian, and looked at Xiao Tian with a look of confirmation or not.
Xiao Tian saw Zhang Cheng looking at him, so he closed his eyes and nodded.
"Hello, Brother Xiao!" Zhang Cheng clenched his fists and signaled.
"Brother Xiao? Hehe, interesting, interesting. Xiao Wen smiled at the corner of his mouth, very surprised by the way Zhang Cheng greeted him in front of him, and looked at his younger brother with playful eyes.
After greeting him, he ignored the two people in front of him, moved a few steps forward and walked in front of Yu Ruyi, bathed in Ruchun and said: "Ruyi, it's not too late to come today!" ”
Yu Ruyi bowed forward, smiled and said to him: "Xiao Gongzi is a step late, and it is this Zhang Gongzi who is going to accompany the concubine today." ”
Xiao Wen smiled on his lips, and looked at the jade Ruyi in front of him with heavy eyes. After a while, Xiao Wen regained his smile and said, "Hehe, Ruyi, you rejected me for the same reason last time, do you plan to use this trick against me today?" ”
"The concubine doesn't dare, Xiao Gongzi can ask the surrounding people by himself." Yu Ruyi is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Oh, really?" Xiao Wen still didn't believe it in his expression.
Xiao Wen called the person beside him and whispered in a low voice, and the person went to inquire about everyone. Soon the man returned to Xiao Wen's side and whispered something in his ear as well. Xiao Wen raised his head as he listened, his eyes looked straight at Zhang Cheng, and there was some surprise and incredulity on his face.
Xiao Wen walked towards Zhang Cheng, looked at it carefully, and gestured to him: "It turned out to be Zhang Gongzi who was the head of the song in Fengzhou City, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”
"Brother Xiao, you're welcome." Zhang Cheng hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he could only politely return the salute.
"Xiao Tian, do you still have my brother in your eyes, such an important thing is hidden from me!" Xiao Wen said in a reprimanding tone.
"Humph! Xiao asked, do you have my brother in your eyes? Xiao Tian snorted coldly and sneered.
Seeing that Xiao Tian was so unsympathetic, Xiao Wen walked to the front and whispered in his ear in a cold tone: "My dear brother, you are glamorous in this flowery and drunk, and your poor mother is still being punished for you, how can you bear it?" Seeing that Xiao Tian's face was very angry, he sneered and spoke again, "Just because you are a wild species, you are also worthy of fighting with me, what are you going to fight with me?" “
At this time, anger had already risen in Xiao Tian's abdomen, and before Xiao Wen finished speaking, he turned around and punched him in the face. Xiao Wen suddenly fell to the ground, a trace of blood flowing from his nose.
Everyone around was already shocked by this sudden punch, especially Zhang Cheng, who was also startled in his heart.
The son who came with Xiao Wen immediately started to help, and after getting up, Xiao Wen shook off the person he was supporting, wiped the blood in his nose, and after taking a look, he pointed at Xiao Tian with an angry smile and said: "Okay, good, you have a kind, wait for me to go back and let my father be the master." I think your poor mother will continue to suffer for you, you wait. “
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xiao Tian with a cold gaze, swept Zhang Cheng by the way, and left Yichun Courtyard quickly. And those brocade boys who came with them all followed the footsteps and left.
With Xiao Wen's departure, there was a lot of discussion in Yichun Courtyard, and while looking at Xiao Tian, they were all asking each other about the origin of the two fighting sons.
Zhang Cheng stood aside and watched the whole process, except for the words attached to the ear, he didn't hear anything, and everything else fell into his ears word for word.
"Brother Xiao, are you okay?" Zhang Cheng looked at Xiao Tian and seemed to be still angry, and stepped forward to comfort him.
Seeing that it was Zhang Cheng, Xiao Tian shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Zhang, let you see the joke." After a pause, he said, "Brother Zhang, can you accompany me to get drunk and rest?" “
Zhang Cheng thought for a while and said, "This, I'm afraid I'm sorry, I can't get drunk with you today!" Seeing Xiao Tian's disappointed expression, he said, "But I can have a few drinks with you." ”
Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Xiao Tian said with a smile on his face: "So, thank you Brother Zhang." “
Behind him, Yu Ruyi heard the words of the two, stepped forward and said, "If the two sons don't dislike it, they can move to the concubine's small pavilion." “
After Xiao Tian heard the words, the smile on his face was even worse, and he hurriedly looked at Zhang Cheng, as if he was asking for advice. Seeing this, Zhang Cheng looked up at the door, hesitated slightly, and said to Yu Ruyi: "Since this is the case, then disturb." “
Yuru agreed with Zhang Cheng, and her face instantly filled with joy, leading them to the small pavilion in her building.
After entering the pavilion, Zhang Cheng casually looked at the room and found that the room was very simple, except for a purple patterned table. There is a paper neatly placed on the table, an inkstone is placed next to it, and a few brushes are randomly inserted in the pen holder. Although the window has been opened, there is a gauze curtain, and there is a delicate pearl plum under the window sill.
It is also a dresser that the daughter of the boudoir must have, as well as a jewelry box with a diamond flower copper mirror and a red lacquer carved plum blossom, but a gold-inlaid treasure flower and phoenix crown and a string of rare purple jade Buddha beads, which made Zhang Cheng very surprised.
Behind the table there is a screen with a rolled up beaded curtain, and behind it is the bedroom.
"The room is very simple, which makes Zhang Gongzi smile." Seeing that Zhang Cheng did not sit down, but looked around, he spoke.
Zhang Cheng just smiled at him, and explained: "I'm very sorry for the Ruyi girl, I don't have any other meanings below, but I've always been curious about the top brand in the middle of the room, and I hope to forgive me if I offend." ”
Yuru blessed him with a blessing and said, "The two sons sit down for a while, and wait for the concubine to prepare some wine and food."
After finishing speaking, Yu Ruyi walked out of the room with light steps. After Zhang Cheng saw Yu Ruyi leaving, he opened his mouth and asked Xiao Tian, "Brother Xiao, who are you?" “
Xiao Tian was stunned, sighed secretly and said, "I know that Brother Zhang will definitely ask!" After thinking for a while, "I am the little prince of Prince Shun's Mansion in Yangzhou." “
"Little prince?" Zhang Cheng was stunned. He asked again, "What about Xiao Qian?" Is it also a little prince? “
After meditating for a while, Xiao Tian replied: "Then Xiao Wen is the eldest son, and I am a concubine." After that, there was another pause, "My mother is just a maid. “
After Zhang Cheng listened to it, it instantly became clear that this seemed to be a consistent routine with the bloody costume drama, but he didn't expect to run into it so soon.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Zhang, you have to be careful of my sinister brother Wang, he is a person with a small belly, he sees you with me, and everyone has fallen down just now, he will definitely come to you for trouble. If you are staying in Yangzhou, please remember to be careful. Xiao Tian said suddenly, solemnly towards Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng nodded, "I'll only stay for a few days at most before leaving, and I don't think I will ever meet him again." ”
"That's the best." Xiao Tian said.
After almost half a pillar of incense, Yu Ruyi placed some wine and food in the room.
After the wine came up, Xiao Tian picked up the wine jug and poured it into his mouth, seeing Zhang Cheng and Yu Ruyi stunned.
Zhang Cheng wanted to persuade him to drink slowly, but he didn't know how to speak, so he had to drink a few glasses with him, and patted him on the shoulder behind him to show comfort.
If you want to drink in a situation where you want to get drunk, it must be easy to get drunk, and it didn't take long for Xiao Tian to pour out of his mouth on the wine table.
Zhang Cheng had no choice but to say to Yu Ruyi on the table: "I'm very sorry, Brother Xiao, I have some excuses tonight, and I ask Yu Ruyi to bear with me more." ”
Yu Ruyi smiled understandingly, "It's okay, I also see this matter, and I'll let my mother arrange it in a while." ”
Zhang Cheng smiled gratefully at Yu Ruyi and toasted him with a glass of wine, and Yu Ruyi also returned the salute. After a while, Yuru asked him: "Zhang Gongzi, if you have a concubine, please don't expect Zhang Gongzi to be fulfilled." ”
Zhang Cheng put down the chopsticks to eat the vegetables, and said in a joking tone: "As long as I don't let someone Zhang redeem him, I can negotiate." ”
Hearing this, Yu Ruyi showed an embarrassed smile, and said to him: "Zhang Gongzi misunderstood, Ruyi didn't want Gongzi to redeem himself, Ruyi wanted to ask about the poem that Gongzi wrote tonight." ”
"You're talking about the song "Grievances." Zhang Cheng took a shallow sip of the wine in his glass.
Yu Ruyi raised her eyebrows and praised it: ""Grievances"?!" Sure enough. Ruyi wants to ask why Zhang Gongzi is so familiar with what the woman thinks, and there seems to be a layer of meaning in this poem. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Cheng looked up at Yu Ruyi, and was very surprised in his heart, and found that this woman was very unusual, and this poem did have another meaning, and these meanings were repeatedly discussed and certified by our modern scholars before they came to the result. Although this poem is ostensibly about the abandonment of a resentful woman, it is actually a way to express the sorrow of not being reused by the imperial court, and being depressed.
Yu Ruyi looked at Zhang Cheng with a little deep meaning and said, "If Zhang Gongzi Huaicai does not meet, Ruyi can introduce you to the nobles."
Zhang Cheng chuckled in his heart, and said secretly, "Oh no, I didn't expect this female writer to be so brilliant and intelligent, and she could guess the deep meaning of the poem." “
