Chapter 051: Invitation
After Zhu Biao became a disciple of the Li family, the positive effect was immediate. With his door, Li Wenxuan is more at ease. On the first and fifteenth days of each month, he no longer has to worry too much about the people seeking medical advice or apprenticeship outside the door will be too emotional.
And the safety of Zhao Tianer and Su Meiniang is more guaranteed, after all, Zhu Biao will treat those who do not follow the established rules and offend in his own way. As for the negative effect, there is still one, that is, he eats more than the average person. Zhu Biao's food is enough to be equal to the sum of Li Wenxuan, Zhao Tianer and Su Meiniang.
As Li Wenxuan's fame grew, more and more people visited him. Those who are in harmony or not can always find a good reason to meet him. I have the attitude of treating the characters with heads and faces in Guangxin Mansion, and always maintain not to offend, not to refuse, and it is still necessary to deal with it. After all, he is no longer the Li Wenxuan of the past.
On this day, Qiu Yue, who was dressed in a light green dress, wore a pair of red embroidered shoes on her feet. With the invitation in her hand, she came to Li's house with great interest. Zhu Biao, who didn't know her, as a member of the Li family, blocked her from the door. According to the general procedure, if she does not enter to pass the message, then she is not allowed to enter.
Faced with this Qiu Yue, who looked two or three times heavier than herself, she didn't take the initiative to hand over the invitation in her hand to Zhu Biao, turned Li Wenxuan and said: "My young lady has an order, and I want to hand over the invitation to Li Gongzi with my own hands." ”
Zhu Biao, who is accustomed to these door-to-door posts, did not make an exception to let her in first because she was a girl, and still replied as usual: "Then you just wait here for a while, let me go in and say a word." ”
One foot was Qiu Yue, who had already stepped into the threshold, and when he heard him say this, he suddenly showed displeasure and said: "Usually, I come in and out of here at will, but today, what do you mean by having to stop me outside the door?" ”
"I haven't seen you." Still unmoved, Zhu Biao stretched out a big hand to block her way, and said calmly.
"I haven't seen you yet!" Qiu Yue, who was once again blocked by him from entering, angrily pushed back the words to him.
Zhu Biao, who didn't bother with her, pinched her collar and lifted it almost effortlessly. The autumn moon with his feet in the air was like a little chicken in his hands, and there was no resistance at all. He took a big step, but he didn't think much about it, but drove her down the steps directly. He let go of his hand, turned around and walked back without hurrying.
Angry, his face was blue for a while, and Qiu Yue was red for a while, and he shouted: "Do you know who I am?" How can you treat me like this? ”
"I don't care who you are. Even if you're from the prefect's house, you'll have to wait here. Zhu Biao, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, stood in the center of the gate and replied expressionlessly: "If it weren't for the fact that you are a little girl, then I would have thrown you out of the hall directly." If you want to visit my master, then you have to follow the rules. ”
Qiu Yue, who was angry and ashamed, knew that there was no way for herself and the big boss in front of her to be reasonable. She couldn't leave just like that, so she endured it, but still didn't hand over the post in her hand to Zhu Biao, and said angrily: "Then I'll wait here." I don't believe there are no people here. Zhu Biao, who was unmoved, did not turn back and enter, but stared at her with a big eye.
At a quarter of the time of the tea, Zhao Tianer and Su Meiniang, who bought the things, saw this quite funny scene as soon as they arrived at the door. Zhao Tian'er, who knew Qiuyue, not only knew that she was the slave maid of the Lin family, but also Lin Ruoxi's personal maid. I have no affection or disgust for her.
Zhao Tian'er didn't have time to ask, and Su Meiniang, who was standing near her, took a look at it, and said with a smile: "What are you doing here?" Isn't it playing a game of eagle catching chickens? ”
Qiu Yue, whose attention was suddenly diverted from Zhu Biao, saw Zhao Tian'er next to the speaker, and complained: "I'm here to deliver an invitation, and your doorman is really rude." Not only did he not let me in, but he bullied me. ”
Zhao Tian'er, who walked towards her, took her right hand without saying a word and left. When the two passed by Zhu Biao, Qiu Yue couldn't help but make a grimace at him. Su Meiniang, who was still smiling on her face, shook her head slightly and followed in. It is clear that Zhu Biao is a person who will not be flexible and elm-headed, which is not unusual.
Under the personal leadership of Zhao Tianer, Qiu Yue met Li Wenxuan in the study. Sitting in the circle chair, he put down the "Nanhua Sutra" that he was studying in his hand, and said with a smile: "What kind of wind blew you here?" Qiu Yue, who casually responded to the "northwest wind", took a few steps forward, put the invitation in his hand in front of his desk, and then took two steps back and stood up.
Li Wenxuan, who picked up the invitation, saw the unhappiness in her expression, opened it to see, and continued: "Today, Miss Qiuyue seems to be in a bad mood, very unhappy!" I don't know who provoked you? ”
Qiu Yue, who is sharp-tongued, is a brainstorm, and she clearly explains the causes and consequences of her unfair treatment by Zhu Biao. Li Wenxuan, who listened to her story, also finished reading the content on the invitation and was thinking. Regarding Lin Ruoxi's invitation, I really didn't want to go from the bottom of my heart, after all, the other party was going to invite a poetry meeting in the Yueyue Building tomorrow. He once learned the demeanor of this talented woman, which really made him not catch a cold.
Li Wenxuan, who threw the invitation card in his hand on the table, leaned back on the circle chair, and did not feel good enough that this was Lin Ruoxi pretending to meet him alone under the pretense of poetry and writing. It is not difficult for him to imagine that tomorrow's party will be boring and boring in addition to being boring, after all, he does not have so much sour taste, and he is not in the mood to talk about the current situation in the world.
Li Wenxuan believes that with Lin Ruoxi's talent and reputation, he will definitely be able to invite the vast number of young talents in Guangxin Mansion one by one, after all, being able to appear in such an event can be regarded as a kind of recognition. For this kind of socialization, although he doesn't want to go, he has to go, and he won't say no to it.
Li Wenxuan, who straightened his waist, slowly stood up. Noticing Qiu Yue, who was no longer speechless, he said sincerely: "For Zhu Biao's excessive behavior, I apologize to Miss Qiu Yue." In the future, there will be no such thing, and the door of my Li family will be open for you to enter and exit freely. ”
Immediately, Qiu Yue, who was a little frightened, hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Qiu Yue can't afford your big gift." ”
He really disagrees with Zhu Biao's behavior of having no mercy and cherishing jade. Li Wenxuan, who does not have a strong sense of hierarchy, does not feel that he has apologized to a slave maid, what is inappropriate? In his mental consciousness, his own side is indeed at fault, after all, Zhu Biao's simple, direct and rough way has the meaning of bullying. It's okay to treat an unreasonable shrew, but Qiu Yue is just a little girl of the same age as Zhao Tian'er.
Li Wenxuan, who sat down again, smiled at the corner of his mouth, but said casually in his expression: "Tomorrow's appointment, I will definitely attend on time." This time, Miss Lao Qiuyue personally sent an invitation. ”
"Tomorrow's poetry gathering, Qiuyue also hopes that Li Gongzi can dominate the crowd and dominate." Qiu Yue, whose tender face was slightly red, came out of her heart and said, "Master Li, be prepared." The slave and maid will not bother too much here. Li Wenxuan, who heard that she was leaving, raised his right hand and motioned for Zhao Tian'er to send her out of the door.
Zhao Tian'er, who had just sent off Qiuyue, was pulled into the garden by Su Meiniang. Except for the two of them, there was no third person present, so Su Meiniang could ask generously, "What was that little girl doing before?" ”
"Qiu Yue sent an invitation to Brother Wen Xuan for her young lady." Zhao Tianer is the original way.
Su Meiniang, who thought about it for a while, said what she was worried about: "Tian'er, I want to remind you here." This hairy girl named Qiuyue is not simple. Based on my observation of her, I expect that her young lady is not a simple character. If the maids can be so marked, then the master will fall into the country. If you don't have more eyes, I'm afraid ......"
Zhao Tian'er, who didn't care at all, didn't put her words in her heart, and interrupted her with a smile: "Sister Su, I think you are too worried." Although our family has a lot to do with the Lin family, Brother Wenxuan will be measured. Besides, Brother Wen Xuan is not a man who loses his mind when he sees a good-looking girl. ”
Su Meiniang, who sighed, smiled bitterly and said: "At present, not everyone is Yanagi Megumi. Although Wen Xuan has a certain amount of determination, he will not fall in love with a talented and beautiful woman. This talented woman knows more about style than us. ”
Zhao Tian'er, who was very generous, said without jealousy and backwording: "Even if Brother Wenxuan really likes Miss Lin, it is reasonable. I was fortunate enough to meet this Miss Lin family, and she is indeed extremely beautiful. If I were a man, I would have liked her too. ”
"You're a very generous girl." Su Meiniang, who laughed, understood her and knew that she was not lying.
"It's not always said that a teapot has to go with several cups, not a teapot with one cup." Zhao Tian'er said that what she heard was about to come out: "Brother Wenxuan is a teapot, and I am already satisfied if I am fortunate to be one of these cups." For me, too much extravagance can turn into greed and wishful thinking, which is inappropriate. ”
