Chapter 149: Companion Reading
Chapter 149 Companion Reading
Xiaodong got up the next day, and there were guests at home.
The Four Princes are here.
"Sister Xiaodong entered the palace yesterday, why didn't she wait for me to leave after school?"
His expression revealed a little grievance, like a puppy that had been ignored by his owner.
Xiao Dong was a little apologetic, he really didn't remember the four princes yesterday. The affairs of the Empress Dowager Shengci occupied most of her attention, and later she met the fifth princess.
"I was negligent. So why are you here today? Do you take a vacation from school? β
"Well, I don't have to go to class today." The four princes untied their cloaks and sat down beside Xiao Dong. Because the house is warm, Xiaodong wears less clothes, and you can clearly see the bulge of her belly.
The expression of the fourth prince was full of awe: "Sister Xiaodong is going to give birth to a baby - is it a little nephew or a little niece?" β
"Well, I won't know until I'm born."
"Hello nephew, I can teach him to read and learn words in the future."
Sure enough, even a half-grown child like the fourth prince thinks it's good to have a boy.
Xiao Dong teased him: "What if it's a niece's daughter?" You're going to ignore her? β
The head of the fourth prince shook like a wave drum: "If it's a niece's daughter, hmm...... I'll find her a good in-law in the future. β
The promise is ridiculously naΓ―ve, but it is sincere.
For men, it is important to study and start a career. For women, of course, the important thing is to get married.
As the saying goes, men are afraid of entering the wrong industry, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.
Xiao Dong asked people to bring snacks to the four princes.
Because Xiaodong's eating habits are not fixed now, he wants to eat sweet in the morning, but he changed his mind and wants to eat sour at noon. So I prepared a lot of snacks and food. In particular, the hot rose fruit soup is both labor-intensive and material-intensive. It is a practice in the south, and it is not common in the capital. The fourth prince is still young in the end, even if he is a little reserved, he is also defeated in the face of the sweet temptation, holding the bowl and drinking one bite after another.
"Be careful, drink slowly."
The fourth prince drank a bowl of fruit soup and ate two pieces of puff pastry ham cake, and stopped with satisfaction, only to notice that the maids in the house were paying attention to him.
The fourth prince was a little uncomfortable, and cleared his throat: "I came out in a hurry today, and I didn't eat snacks in school......"
"Well, you try this again."
Xiao Dong sandwiched the fresh meat chrysanthemum siu mai and put it in the small bowl in front of him: "This is also the practice of the south, and the palace does not do it." β
The four princes showed a struggling expression, oscillating between "wanting to eat, wanting to eat, wanting to eat" and "maintaining the image of the prince".
"Auntie, we're in."
The four princes turned their heads to look out, and the two Li brothers came in with a smile, and they were both wearing school clothes, one with ink on the front and the other with a crumpled hem. The two watched the four princes sitting next to Xiao Dong and stopped together.
"You two, come and meet the Four Princes."
The fourth prince didn't have to struggle this time, the Li brothers saluted him, he only received half a salute, and said very gracefully: "No need to be polite, it's all your own family." We already saw it last time. β
The Li brothers glanced at each other.
They obviously don't remember the Four Princes.
Xiao Dong also remembered that the last time the fourth prince went to her new house, he was just in time for the Li family brothers and sisters to come to the door and hurriedly took a look. The Li brothers don't remember, but the four princes are really unforgettable, worthy of being royal children - but then again, the appearance of the Li brothers' starving ghost reincarnation last time probably left a deep impression on the four princes.
Xiao Dong asked them, "Why did you come back so early today?" Have you met your Mr. Zhang? β
"The school will have a five-day vacation from tomorrow." Tusheng said.
"We're going to see Sir, he's not in the house." Bao Cheng said.
Did Zhang Ziqian go out?
Xiao Dong almost never saw him go out - of course, maybe he went out often, but Xiao Dong didn't know it.
"What did you learn today? Do you have any homework? β
Bao Cheng was faster than Tushengzui: "Today we faced off with the East Courtyard and beat them to the ground." β
The native hurriedly pulled him.
Xiao Dong was taken aback: "Got into a fight?" β
"No, no, I didn't." Tusheng explained: "They are the ones who stir up the trouble, saying that we are all wine bags and rice bags here. Let's try to compete with them, the poetry or something is the same classmate Cai Shiqing and them came, and the pot throwing and archery came from our brothers, and they lost both. β
"Oh......" Xiao Dong breathed a sigh of relief, the competition was nothing, and it was inevitable that he would be injured if he had to put his fist up. It doesn't work out if you hurt yourself or someone else.
As soon as the two of them came out of the house, they gave Bao Cheng a moment: "You are stupid, why do you mention this to your aunt." β
Bao Cheng was a little weak-hearted: "Isn't this a win, I didn't hold back my happiness......"
"Then you have to hold it tight, and if you have something to say, you will talk to Mr. again."
Bao Cheng shrank his head, and then his eyebrows danced again: "The real cowardice of the Eastern Courtyard, let alone four, is eight, and it is also given for nothing." β
"Be quiet."
The brothers have different personalities, Tusheng is older than Bao Cheng, and they think a lot: "The two who are not easy to mess with in the East Courtyard didn't come today, otherwise do you think we can be so beautiful?" Come back and tell my husband that they will definitely be unwilling to go back after these few days off, and they will definitely ......."
He suddenly closed his mouth and turned his head, and Bao Cheng also looked back.
The fourth prince, dressed in delicate clothes, followed the two of them at some point, smiling and clasping his hands, his gaze shifting from Tusheng's face to Baocheng's face.
Just now in the house, I thought that this child was pretty, like a little girl, very well-behaved.
As soon as it came out, it didn't feel like that.
The way he laughed, for some reason, reminded Tusheng of what he had just said, the two people in the East Courtyard who were not easy to mess with.
"Why don't you say it? I'm listening. β
He smiled and groaned, and Bao Cheng said: "We are not storytellers, we want to listen to the teahouse outside, and we can listen to it for ten cents a day." β
Sheng slapped him: "The Four Princes ......"
"Hey, don't be so polite. It's all my own family, Sister Xiaodong's nephew, and of course my nephew. β
Now the native was so choked that he couldn't speak.
Both of them follow their father, Li Wanhe is tall, and of course they can't be short. The four princes are like mothers, Wenxiu is delicate, standing in front of them - it's like an eagle seeing a chicken.
Bao Cheng almost didn't jump.
I didn't pay attention to the name just now, but now I realize that I was taken advantage of by this kid.
Also a nephew?
That's it...... Still......
Well, seriously, I really have to call him an uncle.
Without waiting for the brothers to hold back their words, the fourth prince waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about that, it's quite cold outside." Where do you two live? β
It wasn't until the fourth prince entered the house with the two of them that Tusheng and Bao Cheng glanced at each other-
Why did you recruit this man to his own house?
"It's so warm in this room." The fourth prince didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, and sat down generously: "You two brothers live in the same room? β
Bao Cheng said angrily: "Our brothers lived in the same house when they were young, and it was the same everywhere. β
The fourth prince nodded and said sincerely: "It's so good, I've been sleeping by myself since I was a child, and I also have an older brother, but it's a pity that I can't say a few words a year." β
This sentence was said very lightly, and both Baocheng and Tusheng could hear the deep loneliness in it.
"Sit down." He turned against the guest.
Bao Cheng really wanted to sit, but his legs bent and he reacted.
"It's not early, and the fourth prince won't be able to go back to the palace sooner."
The fourth prince nodded and said, "It's really not early, less than an hour." It's not easy to come out, but you can't stay long. β
Bao Cheng still sympathized with him a little.
If their brothers are wild birds in the mountains, then the four princes must be canaries in a cage.
This cage is inlaid with gold and jade, and it is also a cage.
The fourth prince didn't say anything more, and finally sent him away, and the two brothers breathed a sigh of relief.
"This kid is not simple." Bao Cheng whispered: "You see he is in front of the county lord, that is better than a kitten." When I turned my face, it changed. β
"The palace is full of human spirits." Tusheng said, "What a fool can survive?" β
Bao Cheng nodded: "Yes, you look at the beaver dumbfounded, but it's just hard to catch." β
The two brothers didn't think too much about the four princes, they had to prepare for the counterattack of the East Courtyard, which was not easy to deal with.
These things in the academy are basically solved by themselves, and no gentlemen have ever known about them, and they have never interfered.
The two planned for a long time, thinking about how to ask Zhang Ziqian for advice.
Zhang Ziqian also taught them, but most of the time they herded sheep and graze, and the two brothers were particularly convinced, and they always felt that this gentleman was really capable.
The two respectfully made the bed for Zhang Ziqian, folded the quilt, served tea and water, and Zhang Ziqian finished writing a letter and folded it.
"Sir, that ......"
Zhang Ziqian didn't know what to think, and smiled slightly: "Don't worry about that matter." β
The two didn't understand for a moment what it meant not to worry, and they couldn't ask any more.
This vacation is not over yet, Xiao Dong heard a news.
"Huh?" She was puzzled: "Really? β
The fourth prince begged the emperor and wanted the Li brothers to be his companions.
Moreover, the emperor also agreed.
Xiao Dong pondered, the four princes have come twice in total, and they met the Li family brothers both times, which is also fate?
Could it be that because of the relationship between these two sides, he suddenly named these two companions?
Qin Lie was also stunned and touched his chin: "That kid went into the palace?" β
"Of course I won't live in it." Xiao Dong said: "It's not that you haven't done companion reading, if you want to put it simply, it means that the two brothers have changed schools and changed places to study." But Jixiantang ......"
The water is very deep.
Qin Lie touched his head: "It's nothing." The two of them also dealt with the children of the eunuchs every day in Fengnan. Now it's a different place, but it's just dealing with another group of children of the official eunuchs and clans. They're fine, so they shouldn't get into trouble. β
Having said that, Xiao Dong still felt that it was too sudden.
Of course, the Li brothers felt more sudden.
Reading with that canary?
Are you kidding
How good it was in Fengnan, after they had the initial discomfort, it was like a fish in water. There was a bunch of gentlemen inside, who seemed to be the same as the people they knew before, but when they looked closely, they were different. In fact, many people are not so incompetent as they seem on the surface, and those who follow the powerful people every day also have their own calculations.
It's just so much fun
But just when I thought it was good here, I had to change places
ββββββββ
The cold got worse again ==
Tomorrow my son will have an event, go to see a Children's Day performance, and unify the costumes.
I hope it's hot tomorrow, otherwise I'm going to wear those shorts
