Zhongli didn't go to Wei Lao for the first time, but directly found Song Shanchang for a reason.

Wei Lao is now Zhong Lijue's husband, and if something happens, if Wei Lao stands up and speaks, it will also give people the suspicion of favoritism.

And Song Shanchang had dealt with Zhongli many times before, and the relationship between the two was okay, but when he heard Zhongli asking, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

"Your idea is good, the fourth prince was indeed a protégé of Mr. Wei before, and it is not wrong to enter the academy. But now the academy is being watched closely by everyone, so his appearance has been criticized! ”

Zhongli frowned, and his face sank, if he fought with someone just because of this matter, it seemed that this matter was not too advisable.

"Okay, I'll talk to him about it."

Zhongli was about to leave when he was stopped by Song Shanchang.

"Actually, this matter is not the fault of the fourth son."

Zhongli didn't wait for Song Shanchang to finish speaking, and shook his head with a smile at him.

"Yes, it comes down to what I thought badly, I should have known that he would be ostracized. It's okay, the enrollment is still going on now, and he can also go over and give it a try. ”

Leaving Song Shanchang's place, Zhong Li went to find Wei Lao, and sure enough, Zhong Lijue was now sitting inside, with bruises on his face and a few footprints all over his body.

"Second brother!"

When he saw Zhongli's figure appear in front of him, Zhongli Jue had a panicked look on his face, quickly got up from the chair, reached out and patted the footprints on his clothes, and looked at Zhongli with a panicked expression.

When Mr. Wei saw this scene, he couldn't help but reach out and touch his beard with amusement.

"It seems that Zhong Gongzi's prestige is extraordinary!"

Zhong Li was stunned for a moment, and then when he saw Zhong Lijue's expression change, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If it's not a kiss, it's not a kiss, and now Zhong Lijue sees that he is scared and worried, and all kinds of emotions are there, but there is no grievance and intimacy.

Let's take our time!

He smiled, walked over and bent down to tidy up the corner of his brother's clothes with his own hands, and looked at Mr. Wei helplessly this time.

"Mr. Wei, you are a joker. And my brother has been bullied on your turf, can you just sit here and gloat? You know, how can you say that he is also your disciple, isn't he? ”

Hearing this, Zhong Lijue became even more flustered.

In his heart, Mr. Wei has been a big official, how can he implicate him?

So, she waved her hand at Zhongli in a panic, looking cramped and uneasy.

"Second brother, no. Mr. didn't mean that, but myself, it was I who fell into my brother's prestige, and also made Mr. face shamed. It's that I shouldn't have done anything to anyone. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and looked depressed.

It's not been a few days since I've been here, and it's ...... to do such a big thing.

Zhongli took a deep breath and reached out to pat him on the shoulder with a smile.

"If I come here, I'll probably be angry if you're still going to stick your neck and tell me you're right. But can you now tell me what exactly happened that deserves such a big deal about you? ”

Zhong Lijue stood in place, biting his lip and lowering his eyes, but the old Mr. Wei next to him was a little unaccustomed to it.

"What? Do you think you're doing something wrong? ”

This may sound like a question, but it's actually more of a provocative.

Zhongli couldn't help but look at Mr. Wei, could it be that he still supported this hands-on incident?

When Zhong Lijue heard this, he jumped up directly on the spot like a flower cat whose tail had been stepped on, and looked at Mr. Wei with a blushing face.

He tensed, his face flushed and he glared at him through gritted teeth.

"No, I didn't do anything wrong, it was they who first said bad things about the second brother, and it was also those people who insulted Mr., although I did it wrong, but I won't regret it."

Bad words? Mr. Abusive?

Zhongli couldn't help but smile, looking at Zhongli Jue's flushed face, he couldn't help but step forward and reach out to pat him on the shoulder, smiling and shaking his head.

"Don't take this too seriously. We can't be troublesome, and we can't be afraid of things. Bullying yourself to the head, it's a fool not to fight back! ”

Zhong Lijue looked at Zhong Li, blinked his eyes, and looked at each other with some curiosity.

"Second brother, aren't you angry? Not only did I get into a fight, but I was also taught a lesson by the mountain chief, saying that he wanted me to go home and think about it behind closed doors. ”

This almost made him leave the academy!

Of course, Zhongli could understand the meaning of this, he turned his head to look at Old Man Wei, and saw Old Man Wei reaching out and touching his beard, but he didn't say a word.

He immediately understood what this meant, reached out and patted Zhong Lijue's shoulder, and shook his head at him.

"Good! We're going back and thinking about it behind closed doors. Two days later, he was a good man. ”

Zhong Lijue looked at Zhong Li's cheeks flushed. He turned around and quickly bowed to Old Man Wei and spoke sincerely.

"I'm sorry for Mr. Wei! My second brother and I went down the mountain first. ”

Zhongli didn't speak all the way, but carefully looked at the expression on Zhongli's face, and when they were almost home, Zhongli Jue grabbed Zhongli.

"Second Son......"

He lowered his head expectantly, wanting to speak, but suddenly heard Zhongli turn his head and glare at him angrily, his expression extremely ugly.

"Shut up! What Zhong Gongzi, since you are now Zhong Lijue, you are Zhong Lijue, the fourth son of the Zhong family, my fourth brother, do you know? ”

By the end, the expression on his face became more and more grim.

Zhong Lijue was stunned for a moment, and shook his head at Zhongli with some excitement.

"But I'm not...... And reprimand me! It's me who did it wrong! ”

Zhongli glanced at the other party helplessly.

"You didn't do anything wrong, what's wrong with you? If you are faced with their provocations, you only blindly compromise and retreat, this is cowardice. Since you entered the Zhong family, you have been my younger brother, just like them, there is no difference, you know? ”

Zhong Lijue looked at Zhong Li with complicated eyes, and only nodded towards the other party after a long time, although there was nothing on his face, but there was obviously a choked voice in his voice.

"Thank you!"

Zhongli reached out and patted him on the back, shaking his head a little helplessly.

In the end, it's still relatively raw.

On the way back, he turned his head to look at Zhong Lijue.

"The cause of this incident is also considered to be a matter of mine, which is not too thoughtful. So you've been preparing lately, and I'll send you to the exam. ”

Yes?

Zhong Lijue looked at Zhongli blankly, and saw Zhongli reach out and pat him on the back.

"My younger brother, enter the academy openly and slap each other in the face, can you do it?"

Zhong Lijue's eyes lit up, and he nodded fiercely at Zhong Li.

"Yes! I'll be able to do it! ”

From the time they entered Zhong Liyu's Zhuangzi, Zhong Liyu began to invite them to teach them knowledge, and until now they have mastered things that are definitely not inferior to those students who come to study.

In particular, most of them are poor children, so even if they study, what they learn is absolutely not as systematic as they are.

It's just that Zhong Lijue has just made up his mind in his heart, and when he goes back with Zhong Li, he finds that there is an extra stranger in the house.

Zhongli looked at the man who was sitting with Zhao Yiyan with a faint smile on his face, and couldn't help arching his hand at him and chuckled.

"Fourth prince, long time no see."

Zhao Zijian couldn't help but light up his eyes when he saw Zhongli, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of the gifts he had been euphemistically returned by Zhongli many times in the past three years.

"It's just that now I'll see you in three years, and it's already been a vicissitudes of life."

When he heard the words "vicissitudes of life", Zhao Yiyan couldn't help frowning and snorted coldly.

"The fourth prince has worked hard all the way, the room is ready, and the fourth prince is invited to rest with money."

Zhao Zijian noticed Zhao Yiyan's rejection of him, and frowned, although the words were good, the guest is as he pleases, but this is not Zhao Yiyan's palace after all, he sneered.

"King Qingyang's words are a bit overstepping."

Zhongli watched them arguing, couldn't help but rub his forehead helplessly, and turned his head to pull his younger brother Zhong Lijue over.

"Xiao Jue, this is the fourth prince. Although I came to our house back then, I think you must have forgotten a few years later! ”

Zhong Lijue's body stiffened, he knew that Zhao Yiyan was Zhong Li's brother, so he had already had a plan in his heart, but who knew that there would be another prince.

And it doesn't seem to be in a good situation just now.

He also knew that Zhongli was reminding himself, so he hurriedly straightened his mind and arched his hand at the other party.

"The fourth prince is fine, although the memories of those years are a little vague, but they are still a little impressive. This time the four princes are coming, and they must play here for two more days. ”

Zhongli raised an eyebrow and nodded softly at the other with delight on his face.

It's not bad, but it's really like a local of the Zhong family.

Zhao Zijian looked at Zhong Lijue, and then he was on the same page as the clever and eccentric villain back then, smiled, took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it over.

"Haha, good, good! That's what I mean. When I came here before, I was in a hurry, and I didn't bring any greeting gifts, so please accept this jade pendant. ”

Zhong Lijue couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhong Li, and saw her waving her hand.

"The fourth prince gave you a meeting gift, why don't you put it away quickly?"

It's just that I sighed slightly in my heart, this gift is not easy to receive!

Zhao Zijian said that Zhong Lijue took the things, then he smiled, returned to the chair and sat down, and then raised his eyes to look at Zhong Li.

"My father heard that the Border City Academy is doing well, and there is a Jinshi among the people who entered Beijing to take the exam this year, which made my father greatly appreciated, so let me come and have a look."

What is greatly appreciated, in fact, is just a gimmick.

I want people to see if they are doing anything behind his back, that's true.

Zhong Wei sneered, but his face was not visible at all, he arched his hand towards the east, with a determined expression.

"This is all the result of the emperor's grace."

He was patting his ass here, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Zhao Yiyan looking at him with a smile, and suddenly made a big red face.

Of course, Zhao Zijian also knew it, but he sighed in his heart that the person with a heart like glass disappeared, but he was assimilated by this world!

But what needs to be done is still to be done, he frowned at Zhongli and nodded slightly.

"Okay, it's just that I'm going to trouble King Qingyang and Mingcheng to take me over and have a look!?"

Mingcheng is Zhongli's character, and when he was crowned, Zhao Zijian personally took the land for him.
