Chapter 232: Three Invitations
Li Xia's heart jumped suddenly, "What did A-Niang say?" How did I not know? Why did my grandmother take half of the Xu family's business? It's not that grandma is rich, but because grandma has a rich dowry? ”
"I heard A-Niang mention it once, A-Niang was also at her mother's house, and I heard the family chewing their tongues, and the grandmother's dowry was thick...... It's all hearsay, and Ah Niang also said it, it's all the root of the tongue chewed by the subordinates. It's all nonsense. ”
Li Dong was halfway through speaking, and hurriedly turned back, first, saying such a thing made her feel very uneasy, and second, if Ah Xia accidentally said it, it would be a big deal......
"Oh......" Li Xia dragged her voice, looked at her sister, and didn't speak again.
This is her negligence, A-Niang grew up with the uncle and aunt of the long house, the long house and this grandmother, from the day the grandmother entered the door, they fought openly and secretly, until the death, this hatred has long been deeply planted, A-Niang can hear the words about the grandmother, all heard from the long house, how can there be good?
But what kind of person is Grandma...... A-Niang is not very shrewd, but she is not confused, after a while, she will be able to see it herself.
It's just that the countless silver money of the grandmother has to make A-Niang understand in her heart, well, let the fifth brother talk about this matter with A-Niang, just say it directly, and tell A-Niang where the silver of the great grandmother came from.
……………………
During the New Year in Beijing, there are two lively events that have been circulated for a long time, one is the literary meeting in the ancient homeland on the fifth day of the first month, and the other is the lantern poetry meeting in the Great Xiangguo Temple on the fifteenth.
The poetry meeting on the 15th is open in front of the people of the world, and anyone who wants to go can go casually, but on the fifth day of the first month, the literary meeting in the ancient homeland is only possible to get in if you get an invitation.
Xu Huan, who had just stepped into the capital, received a beautiful invitation to the famous calligraphy and painting of the Fifth Literary Association the next day, Xu Huan held the invitation card that moved the world, like holding a piece of hot charcoal, all the way into the study, locked in the box, and hurriedly came out to find Guo Sheng.
Guo Sheng rented a small courtyard in the capital and lived alone, and when Xu Huan rushed into the east wing in a hurry, there were open book boxes more than half a person high everywhere on the ground of the east wing. Guo Sheng was in the innermost, half of his body stretched out in a bookcase, and he was throwing books out one by one.
"What are you doing here?" Xu Huan was startled, turned around from the middle of the bookcase, circled to Guo Sheng's side, and stretched out his head to look into the box.
"Find a book." Guo Sheng replied without raising his head, "You sit first." ”
"Looking for a book? Are these bookcases yours? How come I haven't seen it before? Lao Guo, I have something urgent, you ......" Xu Huan turned around and looked around, it was either a box or a book, where could there be a place to sit?
"Found it!" Guo Sheng carried the booklet and straightened up from the box, "What's the urgency?" Is it the trouble you said, or is it the invitation of the Gu family? ”
"The invitation of the Gu family, you know? Did you ask for it for me? Xu Huan looked at Guo Sheng in surprise, forgetting to see what book he found.
"How can I have that face? It's your nephew, I also received one, and the sixth brother, on the fifth day of the new year, the fifth master, the sixth master, you, me, have to go.
You can take a look at this collection of poems, this is more than 10 years ago when I traveled in southern Sichuan, I met an ascetic monk wrote, the monk is a master, practice closed mouth meditation, I followed him, held back for three months and did not speak, he began to communicate with me pen and ink, you see, is a deformed person, the heart knot is too heavy, I traveled around southern Sichuan, when I went out of Sichuan to see him, he has been seated. ”
"What do you mean, the poems in this can be copied with confidence, right?" Xu Huan shook the book of poems.
"You can't say that, the world article...... Let's take a look first, it's just a rainy day, and when the time comes, it's one thing whether it's your turn to show your talents.
You came just in time, the matter of the sixth brother, I originally thought that it would be okay to say it a few days later, so there is no need to worry, but now that I have received this invitation, I still want to make it clear to you, you have to have a number in your heart about this matter. Guo Sheng carried the book of poems, turned around and looked at the east chamber where he threw books everywhere, "Let's go, go next door and talk." ”
The two entered the upper room, Guo Sheng handed the poetry book to Xu Huan, took the tea teapot, made a pot of tea and brought it over, Xu Huan had already turned several pages of the poetry collection.
"The style of this poem is rare, like the moon in the sky, this person must have a very unusual background, or experience, the moon and the breeze, and I can't see the depression." Xu Huan watched a few songs and was full of praise.
"Just watch it a few more times." Guo Sheng poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Xu Huan, "Let's get down to business first, sixth brother, you, and me, these three invitations, I don't think it's the fifth brother's meaning, this is the meaning of the prince." ”
Xu Huan was stunned, "What do you mean by this?" Give the face of the fifth brother? He doesn't need his identity, right? ”
"How dare you think about it." Guo Sheng was angry and laughed, "Alas. Guo Sheng's smile didn't spread, and he sighed again, "It's just right, some words are clear to you, you weigh them carefully." You are a smart person, and you should have a number in your heart about the current situation in the court. ”
Xu Huan's expression suddenly froze, "We have also talked about this before, the fifth brother is attached to the prince, we have to see it...... What does the prince mean? ”
Guo Sheng stood up, walked to the door, picked up the curtain and looked at it twice, turned back to sit down, and looked directly at Xu Huan, "What do you say?" ”
Xu Huan rubbed his forehead vigorously with his palm, and smiled bitterly, "Lao Guo, if you have something to say, you can say it directly, I'm not good at these things, and I don't know much, you can say it." ”
"If the prince is optimistic about the prince, the affairs of the Bai family ......" Guo Sheng looked at Xu Huan and didn't say anything further.
Xu Huan's tightly wrinkled brows widened a little, and he frowned again, "To be honest, Bai Shuai's matter, no matter what...... The mother is still the prince, it is indignant, this is not what the king did! ”
"Well, that's what the prince thinks too." Guo Sheng took a sip of tea, "A few years ago, General Lu came to me and asked for a few articles on the sixth brother, and asked me carefully for a long time about the sixth brother's academic articles. ”
Xu Huan looked at Guo Sheng a little sluggishly, Guo Sheng looked away, "I thought about it for most of the night, when I was in Hengshan County, the fifth master often took the sixth brother and the girl to play with the prince, the sixth brother's temperament, they are clear, the sixth brother, a natural elegant celebrity, useless." ”
Xu Huan was drinking tea and choking.
"With that kind of temperament, and you're only thirteen years old, what's the use of high school in one fell swoop?" Guo Sheng looked at Xu Huan and asked, Xu Huan opened his mouth, "That...... You say, I listen. ”
"For example, today's talents, who are the best people of the younger generation of Shilin?" Guo Sheng looked at Xu Huan and asked.
Xu Huan looked at Guo Sheng blankly, his face changed, "Su ...... Want to make another sixth brother? Fighting the court? The prince is not optimistic either...... That? "Xu Huan is messy.
