Chapter 5
"Is that not it?" The son surnamed Shang followed closely and teased.
Liu Zhu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Actually, it's not true, the fan on the stall has been seen with Ding Yougongzi, Qingshan ink, the pen is vigorous and powerful, and there is a majestic atmosphere, not a day's work, and it will take three or five years to have one of them." Although the price of 200 taels of fans is a bit high, when the person who painted the fan becomes famous, it will not only be 200 taels. ”
The atmosphere of this ridicule and sneer was instantly much quieter, and everyone was stunned, and they didn't know how true Liu Zhu's words were, and they all looked at Ding You, who was going with him.
Ding You coughed twice, a little embarrassed by Liu Zhu's public embarrassment, and summed it up in one sentence: "The painting is really good, but it has not reached the realm of two hundred taels."
The rest of the onlookers nodded knowingly and said no more.
Xiang Ziyu stretched his brows, with a slight smile in the corner of his eyes, and the wine in his hand no longer seemed to be so bitter.
After this fan incident, everyone talked about something else, but it was not as lively as the fan incident, and after a while, it gradually began to be a little boring, and the banquet slowly dispersed.
Everyone sent Xiang Ziyu and Hua Yu out of the restaurant, and saluted respectfully before they dispersed one by one.
Xiang Ziyu and Hua Yu did not take a carriage but walked slowly side by side along the street, very leisurely.
"What does Brother Yu think of those candidates just now?" After walking about a few dozen meters away, Xiang Ziyu suddenly asked.
Hua Yu pondered for a moment, and said without concealment: "Liu Zhushang may be used, and the others are second."
Xiang Ziyu nodded approvingly: "Brother Yu's vision is as good as ever, Liu Zhu is indeed a good talent, although the few next to him are talented, but they are flustered and unstable." There are also deficiencies in behavior, and it is difficult to use them! ”
"Actually, Childe, you don't have to come today, you can do this kind of trivial work in the next place."
Xiang Ziyu shook his head and said with emotion: "It's just idle and nothing, so it's okay to come out and take a look." You also know that every four years, when the emperor list is issued, it is when the brothers compete for talents, win connections, and expand the camp, if I don't take the initiative, I am afraid that there will be no place for my Huainan prince in Chang'an City in the future. ”
The imperial examination is held once every four years, and those who enter the list can enter the court as officials, and seize this opportunity to arrange their cronies to important positions, which can increase their own strength. Contribute to future plans and increase the odds of victory.
Hua Yu promised: "Childe doesn't have to worry, I am willing to follow Childe with all my heart."
"Good!" Xiang Ziyu patted Hua Yu on the shoulder, "Hua Yu... The world is sinister, and people's hearts are unpredictable. I only have you by my side, and I can only trust you. You're not going to let me down, are you? ”
Hua Yu nodded heavily, "The liver and brain are smeared, and I will not regret my death." ”
Xiang Ziyu Wan'er smiled: "By the way, what news is there from Wuju?" My Wu Zhuangyuanlang. ”
Hua Yu said: "There is no definite news yet, but I heard that Major General Feng commanded ten thousand troops and joined the command of General Zhou."
"General Zhou..."Xiang Ziyu muttered thoughtfully: "Zhou Tian... With heavy troops in hand, two-thirds of the soldiers and horses of my Liang Kingdom are in his hands, and he has always been ambiguous about the succession, Hua Yu, if you can gain his trust and become a confidant, our great cause is half of the success! ”
Hua Yu's face was happy: "Hua Yu understands and will live up to expectations."
Xiang Ziyu said "um", patted Hua Yu's shoulder with relief, and began to ask Hua Yu about her recent situation, "How is it at home?" Uncle is far away in Jiangnan, can you rest assured that you will come back alone? ”
Hua Yu's eyebrows drooped slightly, flashed a touch of anger, and said lukewarmly: "Jiangnan is rich, it's too late for him to enjoy himself!" Why are you worried about me? ”
Xiang Ziyu was relieved: "What are you talking about?" He's your father anyway. ”
Hua Yu snorted coldly: "It's just an honorary father, when did he take care of me?" In his heart, he only has the two incompetent sons born to the eldest lady! It's the same with him or not. ”
Xiang Ziyu sighed lightly, he could understand Hua Yu's feelings best, because they were all unpopular concubines, without noble status, although they were unattainable in the eyes of outsiders, but when they returned home, it was like entering a cold palace. This is also because it is one of the reasons why he and Hua Yu are friendly, and they share the same disease.
"What about your sister? I've often heard you talk about your sister, can you come with us this time? Xiang Ziyu asked.
Talking about her sister, Hua Yu's face was obviously a little more happy, "Here, it is expected to be on the emperor's list this time, so I want to settle in Chang'an, so I will bring it with me, and it will be more reassuring to keep it by my side." ”
If you stay in Jiangnan, you may be bullied by the sons and daughters of those ladies' families! It's strange to say, every time after bullying, he said to his father that he didn't think so, even if the evidence was conclusive, he was indifferent, maybe because they didn't have a mother!
Xiang Ziyu thought for a while and said, "When your family left Chang'an, she seemed to be about six years old, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, so she should have reached the end of the day, right?"
"Not yet, in another month or two." Hua Yu suddenly thought of something, and looked at Xiang Ziyu with a wary face: "What do you want?" It's okay to do anything else, you know she's my life, don't even think about it. ”
Xiang Ziyu choked, and hurriedly dispelled the idea that had just germinated, and said with a haha: "How come? You're thinking too much. However, this woman is married, and she still has to get married. You can't protect her for the rest of your life, can you? ”
Hua Yu's face sank, "So what?" Even if I am an old sister-in-law, I will raise her for a lifetime, as long as she likes it, I don't care. If any bastard kid dares to provoke her, I'll beat him all over the place! As he spoke, he waved his fists as if in a demonstration.
Xiang Ziyu laughed dryly, the sister is crazy, I can't afford to provoke it!
"And what if it's someone she likes?"
"Someone she likes?" Hua Yu was stunned, he hadn't thought about it, his sister was eccentric and had extremely high vision, there should be no man she could look at.
Xiang Ziyu couldn't help but remind: "If, I mean if, if there is such a person, what will you do?"
"If there really is such a person..."Hua Yu said seriously: "Let's try to compete with him first, if I can catch my three tricks without failing, I can still consider it."
"Come on, if you go down in three moves, you will lose half your life if you don't die, you are the martial champion of my Liang Kingdom, who can beat you? If this condition is the case, even if your sister is as beautiful as a fairy, no one in the world dares to ask your sister for marriage? Xiang Ziyu said sincerely, three moves? I shudder to think about it.
Hua Yu smiled and disagreed: "That's just right!" Only those who can catch it can prove that they have the ability to protect her, but if they can't catch it, there is no one. I'll just protect her!
