Chapter 107: Mention
Feng Lanyu walked a few steps, lowered his voice and said to the second son of the Zhao family: "Since you are the young master of the Hou Mansion, then you must have come to apprentice, right?" ”
Zhao Yuanlang looked at Feng Lanyu with some excitement, his eyes didn't blink, he nodded, and lowered his voice: "Yes, sister, do you have anything to mention?" ”
Feng Lanyu looked at him with a smile and nodded very sincerely: "Since you are the son of the Hou Mansion, then sister, I will mention you a few words, so that you owe a favor, if you have the blue eyes of the old gentleman in the future, don't forget to bring my sister and me." ”
Zhao Yuanlang was flashed by Feng Lanyu's smile, and he couldn't help but get closer, and his voice was lowered: "Sister, don't worry, Yuen Long will definitely not forget my sister." ”
Jiang Fengjin watched the two get closer and closer, his face turned cold, and he stepped forward, just trying to separate the two.
However, when he heard what Feng Lanyu said, he silently took a few steps back, his expression complicated.
I only heard Feng Lanyu say to Zhao Yuanlang: "Since the old gentleman lived in seclusion in Shangshan, there are many people who come to see the apprentice every year, but everyone is often disappointed, and some people can't even see the old man, don't hide it, Zhao Gongzi has little hope this time." ”
When Zhao Yuanlang heard this, his brows frowned slightly, although it was an expected answer, but after all, he was the young master of the Hou Mansion, and it was rare to be deflated, and he was always unhappy.
He glanced back at Marquis Zhao who was not far away, and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction and complaints.
He said that he would not come or not, his father insisted on pulling him over, and the People's Mansion didn't run to this Shangshan every day for two years, and now the second young master of the People's Mansion also obediently found another gentleman?
Marquis Zhao stood not far away, and naturally he could vaguely hear the conversation between the two, and he probably understood what the maid meant, and his face was a little unsightly.
But it is rare to be able to see the old gentleman once, of course he will not leave easily, even if the apprenticeship fails, and the old gentleman can learn a few words, he can also increase his knowledge.
"However," Feng Lanyu's voice changed: "It's not that there is no way, and it depends on Zhao Gongzi's identity." ”
Zhao Yuanlang's eyebrows and eyes rose again: "Please also ask my sister for advice!" ”
Feng Lanyu smiled slightly, and said with an unfathomable face: "Once upon a time, there was a farmer who saw a frozen snake on the road, so he put the snake in his arms, and with a heat source, the snake's frozen body was relieved, so it survived, do you know what this story tells us?" ”
When Zhao Yuanlang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and asked blankly: "What is the truth?" ”
Feng Lanyu smiled, stretched out an index finger, and said, "One word, pretend." ”
Zhao Yuanlang let out an "ah" and was even more dazed: "Pretend? ”
Feng Lanyu nodded solemnly: "Pretend, this story tells us that as long as we are good at disguise, then even a cold and poisonous thing like a snake can be loved by good people." ”
Zhao Yuanlang nodded, still at a loss.
Feng Lanyu looked at him and said: "Once upon a time, there was a man named Mr. Dongguo, who saw a wolf being chased and killed on the road, and under the repeated pleas of the wolf, Mr. Dongguo hid the wolf in his bookbag, and the wolf was able to avoid being chased and killed. ”
Zhao Yuanlang still shook his head, eagerly waiting for Feng Lanyu's 'guidance'.
Feng Lanyu didn't play dumb riddles, and sincerely reminded him that he said: "It's still one word, entangled." ”
Zhao Yuanlang's eyes lit up slightly: "Entangled? ”
It's a good word.
"Is that what you mean to be entangled?" He asked.
Feng Lanyu nodded reluctantly: "You can say that, but not exactly, it should mean perseverance." ”
"Perseverance?"
Zhao Yuanlang's eyes brightened, and he couldn't admire Feng Lanyu at this time, he said urgently: "Sister, hurry up and say it clearly, what should I do?" ”
Feng Lanyu said: "In the past, those nobles held the shelf, unwilling to pretend to please the old gentleman, and even more unwilling to put down their identities and pester the old gentleman to agree, so not long after they came, they were sent away by the old gentleman, and the old gentleman actually intended to accept apprentices, after all, there is a lot of farm work inside and outside here, and he has to be done by an old man, but tired!" ”
Zhao Yuanlang agreed, thinking that when he was in the house, it would be troublesome to eat and walk a few more steps, so let the old gentleman do farm work, wouldn't he be tired to death?
Feng Lanyu pointed to the firewood stack on one side, and then to the bucket on the other side, and said, "The old gentleman has to carry water every day, chop firewood, and have an old disease in his waist, where can he stand it?" ”
Zhao Yuanlang continued to nod.
Feng Lanyu: "Zhao Gongzi, if you want to please the old gentleman, and whether you are happy or not, first put down your identity, pretend, split the firewood, pick up the water, and coax the old gentleman to be happy, and then you entangle it more, coax it, and give him some unique calligraphy and paintings, if he shows his face, you will have a play." ”
After a pause, Feng Lanyu added: "The old gentleman loves to drink bitter thorn tea the most, and he hates sweets the most in his life, you must remember!" ”
As soon as Zhao Yuanlang heard that he was going to carry water and chop firewood, his face was not good, but when he heard Feng Lanyu mention it like this, he was very grateful at the moment, and his heart was ready to move.
This sister must have looked at him differently, otherwise it would not have been possible to mention him so carefully.
Then he must behave well, otherwise it would be good to disappoint this sister.
Zhao Yuanlang immediately said: "I must behave well!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around and went to find Jing Ninghou, wanting his father to help carry water and chop wood.
Feng Lanyu said, Jing Ninghou also listened to some of it, although he didn't listen to it all, but probably after listening to it, he also felt that there was some truth.
It's normal for nobles to not let go of their identity, but what about those people's status, no matter how valuable they are? Don't you have to beg Mr. Zhang?
Mr. Zhang, a person of such an identity, is willing to change into cloth clothes, return to the countryside, and pursue the essence of life, so what can't be done to carry water and chop wood?
Maybe it's because those people are too upright, which annoys Mr. Zhang, after all, Mr. Zhang can't straighten his waist by chopping wood and carrying water every day, but those people are wearing silk clothes and standing by with wealth and dignity.
After thinking about it, Jingninghou put the gift box in his hand next to the firewood stack, nodded and said, "Then why don't you go and fetch water?" ”
The father and son have never worked since they were young, and this is the same as carrying water and chopping wood, Jingninghou was afraid that the axe would be dangerous and hurt his son, so he wanted to let him carry water.
Zhao Yuanlang had no opinion, he immediately took the bucket, and was about to carry water with a dry momentum, and before leaving, he also punched the blue grapefruit and threw an eyebrow, which was simply romantic.
If it weren't for pitiing him for being stupid, Jiang Feng would have passed by with a stone.
