Chapter 59: Zhao Zijian's Invitation
"But I can't be bored at home every day and do nothing." Zhong Liyu put down her purse, she also knew that this was not good, but she just couldn't control it.
"Then you just read the books, otherwise you can go to the private school these days to follow the children's lessons." Zhong Li proposed that according to his modern age, Zhong Liyu is just a junior high school student, but in this era, he has to consider getting married. Zhongli sighed to himself.
"Me?" Zhong Liyu really didn't think about it, she felt that she was the eldest in the family, and it was okay to follow Zhong Liyu to read and write before, but if she went to a private school......
"Yes, I'll go talk to my husband tomorrow and let you go and learn too." The more Zhong Li thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was feasible, Zhong Li Yu had nothing to do at home every day, and he always liked to think nonsense, how could it be good to go on like this.
Especially lately, I've been so busy.
"Well, then you go and talk to the gentleman. But does my husband think I'm too old? Zhong Liyu was a little worried.
"Don't worry." Zhongli patted Zhong Liyu on the shoulder, Mr. Liu can't wait to teach a few more children, now none of the children of the Zhong family refuse to learn from him, and the anxious gentleman doesn't know what to do.
If Zhongli Yu was willing to go, he would not be able to be happy, so how could he dislike it.
"Okay, since that's the case, then the second brother will go and talk to Mr."
After deciding on it, Zhongli left his eldest brother's room.
As soon as he returned to his room, Zhao Zijian came up.
He sighed: "I have never seen or heard of what Brother Zhong has done. β
Of course, Zhongli knew what he was sighing about, and he didn't pick up the stubble, but instead talked about other things.
"Brother Zhao is talking about our family's food, speaking of which, our family does eat a lot of food that the locals have not eaten." She blamed her special on the identity of an outsider, after all, Zhao Zijian was not a Taoist priest in Youfang, so he wouldn't know so much.
"Brother Zhong, in fact, what I'm curious about is the articles read by the children in the private school. Although I, Zhao Zijian, am not talented, I have also studied a lot of articles and read many biographies of literati, but I have never heard of such articles, I don't know where these articles of Brother Zhong came from? β
Zhao Zijian asked, looking at Zhongli's expression, if she was a little strange, he could guess her thoughts.
However, how could Zhongli let him see it, and said calmly: "Brother Zhao, don't believe it, these are indeed my hearsay, but I have compiled these essays into a book. β
Zhongli only has one thought now, that is, no matter what he says, she will not admit it, as long as she does not admit it, Zhao Zijian has nothing to do with her.
"Such an article, if someone makes it, how can it be an ordinary person, Brother Zhong still don't have to refuse, according to me, this article is made by yourself, Brother Zhong." In fact, Zhao Zijian has already determined that these are Zhongli's abilities since he heard these articles, combined with Zhongli's various behaviors.
Now that I speak out, I just want to deceive her.
It's just that Zhongli doesn't want to admit it, and he can't help it.
"Brother Zhao thinks highly of me, I don't have that much ability." It is true that these articles were not made by Zhongli, she just happened to remember them, and then recorded them and spread them.
Zhao Zijian shook his head with a smile, he had already identified Zhongli's ability, and suddenly stared at Zhongli and asked seriously: "Don't hide it, I am also a well-known official in the capital." If Brother Zhong is willing to join me, I am willing to let Brother Zhong's younger brothers go to a better school and live in a better environment. β
Zhongli smiled dumbly, is this going to throw an olive branch to her?
Seeing that Zhong Li didn't speak, Zhao Zijian said again: "And with Brother Zhong's talent, once he enters the capital, he will definitely be like a fish in water, much better than succumbing to this poor and remote place." β
Zhongli quietly waited for Zhao Zijian to finish speaking, and then apologized: "Zhongli thanks Brother Zhao for his love, but my Zhong family has ancestral training, and all the children of the Zhong family are not allowed to enter the office!" β
Zhao Zijian was stunned, obviously, he didn't believe that there was such an ancestral teaching.
But all parents and grandparents don't want their children and grandchildren to be high-ranking officials and have no worries about food and clothing, so how can they not want their children to join the ranks.
Obviously, he felt that this was Zhongli's excuse.
But Zhao Zijian was unwilling to give up Zhongli's talent, he believed that as long as Zhongli became his protΓ©gΓ©, his power would inevitably rise to a higher level, and he could also influence the entire country.
Zhongli's ability, he sees it all.
He had only known Zhongli for a few days, and he had discovered so many things from Zhongli that ordinary people could not see, and of course he was unwilling to give up Zhongli.
Just when he was about to say something and continue to persuade Zhongli, the little servant came to report, "Second son, King Qingyang is here." β
Hearing this name, Zhao Zijian and Zhongli were both stunned.
It was Zhongli who reacted first and frowned, "What is he here for?" β
Recently, they haven't crossed paths at all, and the man still put on a posture not to get too close to him, knocking her around, but now he has come to the door, what do you want to do?
Zhongli thought, but his eyes rolled and turned to look at Zhao Zijian.
Could it be because of him?
"It seems that Second Prince Zhong is not welcome to me." While she was silent, Zhao Yiyan's voice came from the door, and Zhongli and Zhao Zijian looked up at the same time. I saw Zhao Yiyan wearing a black civilian clothes, standing at the door, at this time, the sunset happened to shoot in from the door, Zhao Yiyan stood in the backlight, and there was a feeling that the palace was in the office.
Zhongli shook her head for a moment, and it wasn't until the little maid shouted to her that she came to her senses and said calmly: "Of course not, the person who comes is a guest, the general, please take a seat." β
She still likes to take advantage of Zhao Yiyan as a general, and in her heart, Zhao Yiyan is the undefeated god of war. Or maybe it's just the habit of being called.
Zhao Yiyan unceremoniously walked to Zhao Zijian and sat down, just sitting next to Zhongli.
Zhao Zijian raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, when he heard Zhong Li say, "Go and prepare some cold drinks." The general came over in the sun, it must have been hot. β
She made it from the only fruit left in the house, and drinking it in such weather quenched her thirst the most.
"Yes." The little guy immediately retreated, and in the huge living room, only Zhongli, Zhao Zijian, and Zhao Yiyan were left.
Zhao Yiyan's eyes kept falling on Zhao Zi Fitness, that kind of look was very weird, and the atmosphere was slightly embarrassing. Zhongli, as the master, hurriedly said: "I don't know what happened when the general took time out of his busy schedule to come?" β
If it weren't for Zhao Zijian here, she would definitely question Zhao Yiyan's purpose for coming here, but in front of outsiders, she still had to save Zhao Yiyan's face.
Even Zhongli didn't know that in her heart, Zhao Yiyan had been divided into her own people.
"I heard that you have a new dish here, and Hui Bafang hasn't started selling it yet, so I'll come over." Zhao Yiyan had already found a reason, and he really missed Zhongli's dishes.
Buddha jumping feet is delicious, but you can eat it every day, and no matter how delicious things are, they will be greasy.
"I see." Zhongli nodded and said to the little guy next to him: "You go and see if there is any tofu brain in the kitchen, if so, bring a plate over immediately." β
The corners of the little girl's mouth twitched slightly, but Zhongli was the master, so he did it immediately.
Just when Zhongli ordered the little servant, Zhao Yiyan and Zhao Zijian secretly pinched each other.
"King Qingyang is so courageous, for the sake of appetite, he even ignored the official duties of the border pass and came to beg for food." Zhao Zijian smiled and said with a smile.
Zhao Yiyan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he glanced at the other party lightly, and said calmly: "That's not as good as the four princes, in the name of the minister, but here to eat, drink and have fun." β
The identity was revealed, and Zhao Zijian glanced at Zhongli a little unnaturally.
Zhongli stared at Zhao Zijian a little stunned, she knew that he was extraordinary, and he was still a Qincha, but she didn't know that he was originally a member of the royal family, and he was also a prince.
No wonder he can send so many kinds of fruits casually, so it seems.
He was about to kneel down to salute Zhao Zijian, but was stopped by someone.
"I think the minister of the Qin mission should leave here as soon as possible and carry out the task given to you by the emperor, otherwise if the emperor blames him, we won't be able to help you." Zhao Yiyan Ever since he heard that Zhao Zijian was living in Zhongli's mansion, he wanted to come over every day, but the old housekeeper stopped him every time.
He also listened to the old housekeeper's words, who knew that Zhao Zijian would not leave if he lived here, which made Zhao Yiyan unable to sit still anymore, locked the old housekeeper who blocked him in the room, and rushed over in a huff.
Looking at Zhongli's completely different attitude towards the two of them, his tone of voice was even tougher.
Zhongli listened to Zhao Yiyan's words, and had a strange feeling, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the other party a few times, but it provoked Zhao Yiyan's glare.
As if she owed him twenty-five or eighty-thousand, Zhongli withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes, looked at her nose and nose, and looked at her heart, as if she was just a set board, and she tried to eliminate her sense of existence in the eyes of the two big people.
Anyway, no matter what she thinks, she thinks it's impossible, she should be afraid that her previous events will be exposed.
When Zhongli lost his mind, the two men were still talking scaremongering things back and forth.
"How about me, don't worry about King Qingyang, King Qingyang should take care of his own affairs." Zhao Zijian also wondered, he lives in Zhongli's mansion by himself, and has nothing to do with Zhao Zijian, this Zhao Yiyan has nothing to do to stir up the situation.
Moreover, Zhongli is an important doorman he values.
"This is my business, you must know that now the entire border pass is under my jurisdiction, if the minister who came here is scolded, it will be my entire border pass people who will be affected at that time."
Listening to their back and forth conversations, Zhongli had a headache.
She felt that these two people were childish like children, and there was nothing to fight about.
At this time, the little maid came over with a big basin and reminded: "Second son, the tofu brain is here." β
"Since King Qingyang came here to eat, now that he has eaten, please ask King Qingyang to eat enough." Zhao Zijian glanced at a plate full of tofu brains and said sarcastically.
"That's because the second prince understands this king and knows that this king eats a lot." Zhao Yiyan unceremoniously took the basin from the hand of the little maid and put it on the table, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.
However, the tofu brain is bland and tasteless, and there is a faint smell of beans.
Zhao Yiyan couldn't help frowning, "How can it be so unpalatable?" β
Zhongli was a little speechless, and hurriedly asked the little guy to go down to prepare the seasoning, and handed it to him after stumbling the tofu brain, "Try this." β
It's still salty, after all, Zhongli thinks that a peaceful person like Zhao Yiyan will definitely not be able to eat sweet and greasy things.
Zhao Yiyan took a sip of the bowl suspiciously, and the strange thing was that the fishy smell of tofu was completely gone.
