Chapter Twenty-Eight: Climbing
Soho found a hidden place to hide, quietly observing the two.
From her point of view, Su Kun and the second prince are very close, and she has doubts in her heart, why is Su Kun and poetry and books as companions on weekdays, but now he is still involved with people in the court?
Su He looked at the back of the second prince, his back was straight, his body was long, and he was whispering something, but the distance was too far, Su He couldn't hear clearly, now it seems that Su Kun is good friends with the second prince, maybe some clues can be found from the second prince, Su He held the painting in his arms, ready to step forward, she wanted to meet the second prince.
"Oh, oops, I don't know that the second prince is coming, Su is not welcome, the second prince must not blame." I saw Su Yuandao coming in a hurry, with a flattering smile on his face, and his eyes narrowed into a thin slit with a smile.
Soho was inconvenient to step forward at this time, so he continued to hide here and wait for the changes.
The second prince turned around at this time, his face was thin and white, his hooked nose was towering, and a little surprise and impatience flashed in his eyes the moment he saw Su Yuandao, but it was only for a moment, he changed his face and was a little more pleasant.
"Second Master Su is polite, I just passed by your mansion today, to take a look at the fourth son's schoolwork, and also to learn poetry with him." The words of the second prince were also kind.
Su Yuandao laughed again and again, "Yes, yes, where can Xiao'er's poetry be compared to the second prince?" You're smiling. ”
"Huh? This is not right, the fourth prince's literary brilliance will definitely be better than many people in the capital. ”
Although Su Yuandao's mouth was modest, when he heard others praise his son, his face was also bright, "You have won the award," and then, he looked at Su Kun, "What's the matter with you?" When the second prince came here, you didn't tell him, and you neglected the nobles. ”
Su Kun subconsciously glanced at the second prince, this time the second prince came without making a noise, and he didn't want others to know, and he didn't know how his father knew.
"It's me who was careless, don't be surprised by the second prince." Su Kun returned to his original gentle and humble appearance.
Su He squinted and watched, carefully figuring out Su Kun's acting skills, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously showed a sneer, no matter whether Su Kun was good or bad, she was very transparent about this kind of person who was clear and secret.
The second prince smiled, but gentlely, "Don't blame him, he bored himself here on weekdays, and he was stupid to read, hahaha!" He laughed and continued to create the image of Su Kun who lived in a simple place and studied hard.
"It's good that the second prince doesn't blame, oh, this is a special cherry blossom cake made in the house, the second prince can taste it?" Su Yuandao waved his hand, and the little guy behind him stepped forward with a plate.
"It's crystal clear, it's delicious to look at," the second prince praised, picked up a piece and put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, "Well, the faint original smell of cherry blossoms also reveals a sweet taste,"
He put it in his mouth and chewed, and nodded, "Yes, sweet but not greasy, and not choking, it is enough to see that it took a lot of effort to do this." He boasted so much, but he didn't eat the second piece, but drank a few sips of tea in succession.
Su Yuandao wanted to step forward and say something, but the second prince took the lead and said, "I heard that there is a person named Zou Yu under Second Master Su, who is good at archery?" ”
Su Yuandao was stunned at first, and then understood that the second prince was a person who loved talents very much, and he was close to Su Kun, so he naturally heard of it.
"Oh, this Zou Yu's archery technique is ancestral, that's a hundred shots, it's very good! The second prince wants to see him? ”
The second prince nodded, "Yes, it's okay to come anyway, if Second Master Su is willing, he will call him over, and I will learn from him." ”
Su Yuandao was like a mirror in his heart, and the second prince wanted to win over Zou Yu. And if Zou Yu really becomes a person under the second prince, it will be of great benefit to him, which is equivalent to the second prince owing him a favor! This is a good way to cling to this noble man, so why not?
"Willing to give up, as long as the second prince wants it, it is my old body, and I am willing to do it, the second prince will wait a minute, I will go and call him." After that, Su Yuandao actually went to call Zou Yu in person.
Zou Yu was on the street five years ago and was rescued by Su Yuandao before staying, Su Yuandao was also willing to do this because he was in a position to do so, and heroes also had times when they were in trouble, since then, Zou Yu has followed Su Yuandao with all his heart, and is willing to be a small guy.
Zou Yu was training the guards in the mansion to shoot arrows, and when he saw Su Yuandao hurrying in three steps and one step, he was a little puzzled, "Second master, why are you here?" ”
Su Yuandao wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Of course it's a good thing, Zou Yu, you can't bury yourself here, I found a good opportunity for you, you have to seize it." ”
Zou Yu's face was dark and broad, and his voice was also loud, "Second Master is trying to drive me away?" ”
Su Yuandao sighed, "Look at you, your brain doesn't turn, why am I driving you away?" I'm here to find a way out for you. ”
Zou Yu scratched his head, "What is the way out?" ”
"Second prince, you know, right? That is the prince who was favored in front of the emperor, and now he wants to see you, have a discussion with you, you have to behave well, as long as you get his appreciation, your future road will be wider. ”
Su Yuandao said so, but the real abacus in his heart was to crack down, if Zou Yu became a celebrity, how could the second prince give himself three points of thin noodles, and his own children would be able to mix in the future, this business would not be a loss!
"The second prince has been waiting for a long time!"
The second prince raised his eyes and saw that Su Yuandao was followed by a burly man, with a pair of bright eyes, stiff facial lines, and frank eyes, looking directly at the second prince.
The second prince saw a lot of people, and at a glance he felt that this person was extraordinary, different from his attitude towards Su Yuandao, he was a little more respectful when he spoke to Zou Yu, "This is Zou Gongzi?" ”
Zou Yu clenched his fists and said, "Zou Yu doesn't dare to be called like this, so the second prince can just call the slave by name." ”
"Okay, okay, then I'll call you Zou Yu, yo, your bow and arrow is good." The second prince saw the bow and arrow in Zou Yu's hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"This is handed down by the slave ancestors, made of paulownia lacquered wood, extremely strong, and the force is great, which is not comparable to ordinary bows and arrows." Zou Yu said respectfully.
The second prince nodded and tried to draw the bow, although he knew kung fu, but the bow was laborious to pull, and he couldn't pull the bow with all his strength.
"It's a good bow." The second prince couldn't help but admire, and handed the bow back to Zou Yu as he spoke.
Zou Yu took it, and with a little force, he pulled the bow to the fullest.
"Good! It's really amazing, it seems that I learned from you today, but I took my own humiliation, hahaha. The second prince joked.
"Zou Yu doesn't dare." Zou Yu was a little frightened.
"Don't be afraid, joking with you, come, then we will compare, not strength, only precision." The second prince said, and also took the bow handed over by his subordinates.
The two of them aimed at the target in front of them, and Soho wanted to find a way to come forward and talk, but when he couldn't find a reason, he turned his head and saw a cage hanging on the tree next to him, in which a green parrot was bouncing.
Soho took it to heart, she quietly approached the birdcage, opened the cage door, and the parrot immediately flew out.
