"Young master, it's time to get up." A housekeeper called softly outside the door.

Li Huaiyu opened his eyes and saw that the sky was already bright, he sat up and said, "I know." Then he got better dressed and came out of the door.

The family man bowed down and said, "Young master, go with the little bath?" ”

Li Huaiyu entered the bathroom with his family, only to see that the bathtub was filled with heat, and the water was covered with a layer of rose petals, and the fragrance was fragrant. He commanded, "Go down, all of you." ”

Jia Ding said: "The old man asked me to wait for a good student, and you let the villain help you wash it, right?" ”

Li Huaiyu was impatient and no longer embarrassed those servants. He undressed, stepped into the tub, dipped in the water, and closed his eyes to refresh himself. At this moment, a servant girl came in from outside the door. This is Zhang Yuanwai afraid that those male servants will not serve him well, so he specially ordered her to take care of Li Gongzi. This little maid approached the bath bucket and served Li Sheng to bathe lightly.

Jiading added half a bucket of hot water to Li Huaiyu and said, "The son is so blessed." ”

Li Huaiyu slowly opened his eyes and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Jia Ding said: "You can get the love of the master and be a Zhang Jiaerlang, aren't you blessed?" How many people never dream of finding such a rich father. ”

Li Huaiyu sighed and said: "Life is impermanent, and every qiē is predestined. What you want, you may not be able to get; You can't hide from what you're afraid of. It may be enough for you servants to have a rich father, but money is something outside the body, and when disaster strikes, money cannot buy peace. As long as we do our part well, it is enough to seek peace of mind, and as for those things that we cannot have, let them go with the clouds. ”

The family was confused when he heard it: "What the son said is very profound, and the small one is very difficult to understand." ”

Li Huaiyu stopped speaking and fell into deep thought.

After the bath was finished, the maid of the family gave Li Huaiyu better clothes, put on a white brocade robe, embroidered with bright red plum blossoms, hidden sachets, inlaid with jade brocade belts around the waist, and hung jade pendants. The maid gave him a haircut, put on a crown of gold silk buns, put on thin-soled boots, and rinsed his mouth with perfume.

In the living room, Li Huaiyu kowtowed to Zhang Yuanwai and said, "Good morning, Daddy." ”

"Son, my father will introduce you to two people today." Zhang Yuanwai got up from the chair, pointed to an old woman wearing a Taoist robe and holding a Buddhist bead and said, "This is your mother!" He pointed to a beautiful woman dressed gorgeously and held a beauty fan and said, "This is your second mother!" ”

Li Huaiyu kowtowed to the two of them one by one.

Zhang Zhong instructed his family to prepare a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, wine and delicacies, and said: "Today is a big day, let us gather together as a family and get to know my son Huaiyu." He suddenly remembered an incident and said to a family member: "Liu Fu, you go upstairs and invite your young lady down, and say that I have taken a younger brother for her and let her go downstairs to get acquainted." ”

Liu Fu is the distant nephew of the second wife Liu Lanying, but because of the tragic disaster at home, both parents died, and there is no one to rely on, so he can only take refuge in this distant aunt. Zhang Yuanwai saw that this person was very pitiful and quite clever, so he made him a servant of Zhang's mansion.

Liu Fu turned around and ran out of the living room, came to Miss Zhang's embroidery building outside the Yaxian Pavilion, and saw that the maid of the moon was watering the flowers downstairs, and arched his hand: "Isn't this Sister Yue?" ”

Xi Yue looked at it, sneered, and asked, "Isn't this Liu Fu?" Why did you come to Asan Court? ”

Liu Fudao: "The master accepted a son yesterday, and now I am specially asked to go upstairs and invite the young lady to go to the living room to recognize my brother." ”

"I see." Xi Yue waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, I'll go upstairs and inform Miss." ”

"Yes." Liu Fu turned and left.

This Miss Zhang's full name is Zhang Meiying, and she is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is captivating the country and the city. She has the posture of sinking fish and falling geese, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, like the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva in the South China Sea, just like a fairy in the Moon Palace. This woman worships Kunlun ancestor as a teacher, has a good immortal law, strong martial arts, and is immediately omnipotent. She has a hundred-pound Moon Shadow Broadsword, which can cut gold and jade, and is extremely sharp. She is now twenty-three years old, with unique skills, it is difficult for ordinary men to enter the eyes of the law, and she has not yet been married.

Xiyue went upstairs and turned into the cabinet, pursed her lips and smiled: "Miss, you have a big happy event." ”

Zhang Meiying put down the embroidery needle, looked up and smiled, and said slowly: "Little hoof, this girl is worried, where does the joy come from?" ”

Xiyue said: "You have a younger brother!" ”

Zhang Meiying was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What?" My mother gave birth to a son? ”

Xi Yue said lightly: "Of course not!" ”

"What's going on?" Zhang Meiying was puzzled.

Yu Yue smiled smartly, blinked, and said, "Hehe, yesterday my lord took in a son." ”

Zhang Meiying was shocked, Huo Di stood up and said, "Oh? Is there such a thing? Who is my brother? ”

Xiyue said: "I heard that it is a native of Luoyang, Henan. Last night, my lord was happy, and this month he doubled the wages of our servants and maids. It seems that the master really attaches importance to the young master! ”

Zhang Meiying was quite interested, pacing around with her hands behind her back, turned around and asked, "I don't know how old he is?" Where did you come from? ”

"Hmm...... I heard that in his early twenties, his family suffered a tragic disaster, and he was a man who asked for food. When she said this, she patted her head and said, "Oops, I almost missed a big deal." Miss, the master asked you to go downstairs and recognize the young master. ”

Zhang Meiying washed up, carried Luo Pa in her hand, followed the maid of the moon and walked down the wooden steps, came to the living room, licked a small hole along the window paper, and looked inward with one eye. I saw a jade-faced scholar sitting in front of the table, very handsome, really a rare beautiful man in the world. Zhang Meiying said: "This person talks elegantly, has an extraordinary atmosphere, clear eyes, and is extremely beautiful, he is simply a stunner among people and the best among men." It's a pity that he became my brother. I don't know what his talent is, wait for me to go in and give it a try. ”

Li Huaiyu saw a red-shirted woman coming into the living room, presumably Miss Zhang, hurriedly stood up, did not dare to look up, knelt down and saluted: "Sister is above, accept the little brother's salute!" ”

Miss Zhang felt ridiculous, and said, "Brother Wanfu!" Please! ”

After the ceremony, the two sat down.

Zhang Zhong pointed at Li Huaiyu and said, "Let me introduce it to you." My son Huaiyu is from Luoyang, Henan, and his name is Li Huaiyu. He was originally going to go to Beijing to catch the exam, but he fell to this point by mistake. From today on, his name will be Zhang Huaiyu. ”

The second wife, Liu Lanying, smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations to the lord for having a noble son, I wish the lord a blessing to the sky, and a longevity than Nanshan." ”

Zhang Yuanwai patted Li Sheng's hand and said, "Son, since the whole family has recognized you, you might as well pour a glass of wine for each of us, okay?" ”

Li Huaiyu hurriedly stood up, lifted the wine jug, and said, "Daddy, this is originally a child's business." As he spoke, he started from Zhang Yuanwai and poured a glass of wine for each of the three elders in turn. When he arrived at Miss Zhang, he poured a cup of wine and brought it to her, but saw that this woman had white and tender skin, beautiful facial features, exquisite figure, graceful and graceful, like a fairy descending from the earth, Xi Shi was alive. Li Sheng stared at Miss Zhang and couldn't help but froze.

Zhang Meiying noticed that something was wrong, looked up, and unexpectedly met Li Sheng's eyes, and the two of them suddenly had their hearts racing, their faces flushed, and they were both stunned.

Although the eldest lady Feng usually eats fasting and recites Buddha in the meditation room, she is also very sensitive, seeing that her daughter and Li Huaiyu are staring at each other and staying still, she hurriedly said: "Ying'er, my brother offers you wine, you take it quickly?" ”

Zhang and Li woke up suddenly.

Li Huaiyu was ashamed for a while, and with a "horn" sound, the wine glass fell to the ground and shattered.

Zhang Meiying looked cold, and asked embarrassedly: "Why is my brother so careless?" He asked the maid to take a wine glass again, drank the wine poured by Li Gongzi, and said: "Since my younger brother is a son who went to Beijing to take the exam, he must be very good at writing, so why not chant a poem to help the wine?" ”

Zhang Yuanwai said with a smile: "Yes, what my daughter said is reasonable. The so-called, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and the moon is very bright from the middle of the month. I'm so happy today, I'll just sing a poem! ”

Li Huaiyu said: "Since this is the case, then the little student will be ugly." He looked at the sunshine outside the courtyard and said casually: "The dry beach carp likes to rain and spit lotus flowers with strange treasures in their bellies." The sun rises in the sky and is peaceful, and the eight immortals raise their glasses to drink jade dew. ”

Everyone applauded and applauded, and they all praised Li Shengwen for his talent.

After being full of wine and food, Zhang Yuanwai ordered the family to clean the Linxiang Pavilion in the West Courtyard for Li Gongzi to live in. He also gave Liu Fu to Li Huaiyu as a scholar.

Li Sheng moved into the Linxiang Pavilion, recited the scriptures and left, and everyone went back to their rooms.

Zhang Meiying returned to Yaxian Pavilion with the Moon Maiden, unsettled. She closed her eyes, and her mind was full of Li Huaiyu's shadow. She secretly said: "The carp on the dry beach likes to rain when it rains, which means that he, a talented man in distress, has been helped like a fish in water." The belly is full of foreign treasures and spits lotus, which means that he is full of economy and exports. The sun rises in the middle of the sky and is peaceful, and the eight immortals raise their glasses to drink the jade dew, which means that he has walked out of the hard days of the past, and now he is very happy, and the people who drink with him are as noble as the gods. Oh, this Li Huaiyu is really a strange person with both talent and appearance! Zhang Meiying thought again: "Then Li Huaiyu said that he was like a fish in water, could it be that he saw me and made him ...... Oh, what was I thinking? ”
