Chapter 189: The Middle Lift
"In fact, it was I who put my mind to make Guo Lao accept me as an apprentice." Diancui whispered ashamedly.
"I know." Yuan Zhiheng said.
Not only does he know that according to Guo Lao's perennial immersion in the Silver Palace, what kind of conspiracy has never been seen, just like Cui's rough and clumsy careful thinking, who can't understand it? He had to make good food by the brook where he frequented, and it was all the strange food whose fragrance could drift far away......
"In addition to Guo Lao, I also intended to make friends with the four brothers in Guozi Prison at that time...... "There are so many prisoners in Guozi Prison, she just made friends with Li Tang and Qin Yue, and she also found out that she saw people's hearts step by step without a trace, and then urged her brother and Yuan Zhiheng to worship with others.
Now, although she doesn't regret it in her heart, she looks down on herself a little.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhiheng laughed softly and said, "If you say this, you don't have to blame yourself." You are so elevated, but the four of them are secretly flattered and very complacent. ”
Now it seems that the prisoners in this country are full of talents, and there are even more powerful people in the family, but Diancui chose four people who don't look like they are on the rise, and the last time they were drunk, they gave people a bright future.
"This person can make friends with people, it is all fate. If you don't really have the same interests, no matter how hard you work, you won't get together. ”
As the saying goes, things gather like and people are grouped, and it is not bad. It's just that the affection of Diancui, Yuan Zhiheng quietly remembered it in his heart.
On that day, she drunkenly said under the Portuguese shelf, I found those sworn brothers for the teacher, but they were all great/great helps, than the teacher married ten wives and concubines...... He was not shocked in his heart, but he was very moved afterwards.
If she is a little cautious and calculating in her heart, she has always been sincere to herself.
With Yuan Zhiheng's enlightenment, Dian Cui also felt that this was the case in his heart, and then he didn't think about it anymore.
Because of the death of Guo Lao, there was no big Cao Da in the year of returning home, only the family sat around and had a quiet Chinese New Year's Eve meal, and then it was time to return to the hometown to worship the ancestors, return to the country to study, go out to run business, and raise a baby at home...... They all quickly returned to their usual ordinary.
This winter day was heavy and snowy, and it was long, but it was over.
Although the spring return in February is still slightly cold, it finally has the appearance of spring, and the inmates in the Guozi Prison have ushered in their nervous and full of anticipation of the big day, the spring test.
Gui Bonian, Li Sang, and a few of them entered the Gongyuan to participate in the test, and Gui Zhongqing Diancui brothers and sisters and Yuan Zhiheng, Qin Juren, and Tang Assistant Teachers, waited at the gate of the Gongyuan.
"After the exam, it's about the right time to get Yin, why don't we go and eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles first?" Gui Zhongqing proposed.
The streets and alleys of the capital, the corners, the large/small wine shops, and the snack stalls, are not unknown to Zhongqing. The taste of that family is so good, and he has a scripture in his heart.
"I eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles in early spring and February, I think it's good." Assistant Professor Tang agreed.
"But ......" Qin Juren is still not at ease, a few of them still don't know how to do in the exam, where does he have the heart to eat noodles.
"Third Brother Qin, don't worry, the brothers inside should be able to be lifted." Diancui said firmly, Sixth Brother Li Sangyue will definitely be able to win, but he is not sure how the eldest brother and Gu Guangyao are, but listening to Yuan Zhiheng's evaluation of the two of them on weekdays, if they can play normally, they will not be much worse.
The fourth sister Diancui can always comfort and stabilize people's hearts at critical moments, which is also a kind of ability. Qin Juren said with a smile Since the fourth sister said that it can be done, then I can rest assured.
The place where Gui Zhongqing took them was really remote, but the taste of the Yangchun noodles was really good.
"This winter is really long, until I eat this bowl of Yangchun noodles, I feel that spring is back, you see how green and pleasing the shallots on it are." Gui Zhongqing sighed, all winter, he was busy shipping from the warehouse at Tianjin Wei Wharf, eating steamed buns and fritters every day, but he hadn't eaten such noodles for a long time.
"The second brother's book should be read more," Dian Cui quipped: "This Yangchun noodle is not the Yangchun noodles we are talking about, but the noodles that are only eaten in Xiaoyangchun in October." ”
"The fourth sister is right, the custom in our hometown is to eat Yangchun noodles in October Xiaoyangchun." Qin Juren is a person from Jiangnan, and he naturally has a lot of plots about this Yangchun noodles.
"So, when the teacher was young, he often ate this Yangchun noodles?" Dian Cui asked, Yuan Zhiheng is from Hangzhou, but he hasn't heard that Yuan Zhiheng likes to eat.
"Eat it often, and I'll do it again." Yuan Zhiheng said with a smile, naturally he would not say that life was difficult at that time, people were scattered in the family road, and he had to rely on himself for food and everything. Now that I think about it, it seems to be a thing of the past, a long time.
"It turns out that Brother Zhiheng will still do this, and next time I do it, I will eat it with Diancui." Gui Zhongqing said with a smile, he was younger than Yuan Zhiheng, but in the future, Yuan Zhiheng would call him a second uncle, so he said politely.
Diancui's face was slightly red, but his big eyes still looked at Yuan Zhiheng without blinking, and Yuan Zhiheng was also generous.
Gui Zhongqing laughed, touched his head, and said that this Yangchun noodles are delicious and delicious, let's not care about it.
Another big brother only needs to win this time, no matter how many he is, I am happy.
The second son who returned home has always been such an optimistic and bold character, and everyone laughed when he shouted at him.
Sure enough, the list was released on the third day, which is good news!
Li Sang, Gui Bonian, Yue Gongzi, and Gu Guangyao were all successful, and Yin Chang was also successful. Li Sang also won the first place Xie Yuan, and Gu Guangyao was the fourth place Jing Kui.
Shocked the capital for a while, returning to the house to celebrate, returning to the third master is a big banquet for three days, everyone said that there are Wenqu stars to take pictures of each other recently, everyone who has spent the night at home, without exception has become the master of the people.
However, on the fourth or fifth day, the martial arts department also started the test, Bai Ye won the martial arts in one fell swoop, and Gui Zhongqing befriended him, and he was also happy for him, and the two of them ate all the large/small restaurants in the capital.
Gui Zhongqing came back and had to be beaten hard, the descendants who lived in this mansion, except for him, all of them have fame, to put it mildly, even if they fail to pass the test in autumn, they can go to the county to be a parent official. He's good, and now he only knows how to eat and drink from horses, cockfights, and beards.
"Now in this capital, everyone says that we have Wenqu Xingwu Xing to take pictures of each other when we go home, but you are not a martial artist and you are really angry to death as a mother." The Wu family is really anxious now, thinking that this Qing brother is better than his brother and Bai Yin in terms of wit and talent.
But now that everyone else is in high school, he is still working hard in the business world, and he secretly regrets why he was allowed to go out to do business at that time, and no matter how to study and take the scientific examination is the right way.
"Mother, don't be angry, brother and brother Bai have been in high school, I am happier than my own high school," Gui Zhongqing smiled: "But I'm not bad, at the end of last year, we had more than 100,000 taels of silver in our account than in previous years, and I don't believe that there will be no part of me in this business in the future." ”
In terms of money, although his family is also a big family in the capital, it is impossible to compare with the imperial merchant Wu family. Gui Zhongqing has the habit of rivers and lakes and has ambitions. People in the world are light on business, but if they really want to do what the Wu family does, no one dares to despise it, and they have to stammer in every way.
"I don't want you to be too tired," Wu is a member of the Wu family, since he was a child, he has been exposed to the ups and downs of his father and brother in the business sea, so dusty and unsettled, tired and dangerous, she can't bear to let her second son suffer and suffer.
"How can you be tired of making money." Gui Zhongqing said heroically.
"There is no shortage of money when you return home." Wu Shi said angrily.
Gui Zhongqing laughed and kept silent, he has traveled to the mall over the years, but it is not just as simple as doing business to make money, he likes to be so happy and proud. I don't want to live a routine life of living in the house for a long time.
Seeing him walk out of the courtyard door with easy steps, Wu sighed deeply.
"Madam, the second young master is also nineteen years old this year, it's time to say that he is the age of his relatives." Grandma Lu said.
Grandma Lu didn't say anything, and when she said it, Wu's brows were even more furrowed: "Just like him, he goes up the mountain and down to the sea and goes south and north without a home, and the serious daughter of the family is willing to marry him!" ”
A few years ago, he had a reputation for being amorous and amorous to provoke some peach blossoms everywhere, but since last year, he seems to be not close to women, and he has never had anything to do with those peach blossoms again.
Wu only felt relieved at first, but later felt uneasy.
A few maids in his courtyard, Yurou and them, Wu originally thought that there would always be one to make a room first, and then carry a concubine's room. This brother Qing'er promised to be good every time, but when she went back to ask Yurou, Yurou blushed every time and said that the young master just likes to play with them, and he has never touched his real character.
"You have been close to your second brother and them these days, what wind have you heard?" When Diancui came to ask for peace, Wu couldn't help but ask his daughter.
Diancui blinked and said, did her mother ask the second brother how the red luan star direction was?
Wu nodded quickly, he has a smart daughter, and he is effortless and worry-free when he talks.
But Diancui shook his head, in addition to running around the treasures he got from overseas, the second brother of Dao was eating wine and playing polo with Bai Gongzi, and no woman appeared by his side, not even Yurou.
Wu sighed deeply, how good is this, her son seems to be a bastard, playing polo and eating flowers and wine.
But when he eats flower wine, it's really as simple as eating wine, and as his mother, she clearly understands it in her heart. I think it's time for this eighteen or nineteen years old to increase my knowledge in that area.
"But," Dian Cui thought for a while, and said: "I went to Lu's house before, and met a dignified young lady, she was originally the top brand of the Spring Breeze Ten Mile Building, but she is also an innocent person who sells her art and does not sell her body, I heard that she has redeemed herself for the second brother, and it has been two years. The last time I saw her look at her second brother, she was also affectionate......"
"The one you're talking about is Yun Wuxin?" Wu Shi pondered.
Diancui nodded hurriedly.
Wu Shi frowned and was silent, she had some impressions of this Yun Wuxin, Brother Qing wanted to bring her to the house the year before last, but she was a Qing/Lou woman after all, and at that time, Wu Shi was dead and did not allow her to enter the door.
However, now that I want to come......
"What do I think of this cloud unintentional?" Wu asked again.
Diancui can't guess the meaning of his mother, only according to the truth, this Yun Wuxin is very good, it is said that he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he doesn't dare to say it, I listened to the singing, which is graceful and touching...... People on the outside say she's arrogant, but I think she's quite approachable and should be a lover.
Temperamental, Wu muttered.
A few days later, Wu's family, who was pregnant for seven months, met with a clean teahouse and Nayun Wuxin.
After coming back, he told Gui Zhongqing that he agreed to let him bring Yun Wuxin into his home, but in the future, no matter whether he went south or north, or went up the mountains and down to the sea, he had to bring that Yun Wuxin by his side.
also said that this was not only her idea, but also Yun Wuxin's appeal.
Gui Zhongqing didn't expect her mother to take this trick, and after hesitation, Yun Wuxin entered the door, and everyone in the west courtyard called her Aunt Yun.
