46 Eavesdropping
Shen Shuyi stood outside the Nanmu door for a long time, there were four people in the room, Ji Feiyang talked the most, Yu Shaoyang occasionally responded to two sentences, Xie Junyan laughed the loudest, and there was the master of this, Lu Qichi, the famous Lu Immortal of Quyun.
Second Young Master Lu doesn't need to say it, the remaining three are all talented young people, these four sons are now gathered together, and the conversation must be some boring talk, he originally just wanted to listen to it for a while, if it was too hot, he wouldn't go in first, but he didn't expect to hear a little interest.
The initiator of the conversation was really Ji Feiyang.
This guy said: "You can't do that, but you have to be Miss Wednesday in terms of appearance, if you talk about talent, you have to be Miss Xu, although Miss Jiang is also good-looking, and I have read some books, but these two aspects are not outstanding, but they are not as good as the two of them." ”
Miss Wednesday is Zhou Jingchen's cousin, named Zhou Jiahui, who can afford to be a real lady; Miss Xu is the little girl Xu Yanan who is a talented girl from Quyun and Lu Qichilang, who is only eleven or twelve years old at this time, and she is still a little mismatched; As for Miss Jiang, she is also a celebrity, her family has been in the medicinal herb business for several generations, and she has close contacts with Yang Zuochuan, her real name is Jiang Tao, although her personality has jumped out of her mind, but Shen Shuyi seems to be better than the first two.
Miss Wednesday is beautiful, but her personality is too rigid, and he can't stand it; Miss Xu is so eloquent that he usually doesn't dare to see her; Miss Jiang is much better, easy-going, loves to talk and laugh, and is not too restrained when she meets.
However, this is his idea of "ordinary people", and the four of them have their own rules.
Xie Junyan said: "Miss Wednesday is not something that can be climbed casually, it is still Miss Xu, she is extremely talented and intelligent at a young age, and she will have more face when she goes out in the future." ”
Yu Shaoyang is a real honest person, his views are very different from Shen Shuyi, and he said with a smile: "Miss Wednesday, I don't dare to think about it, Miss Xu's talent is too high, and Brother Lu can hold it down, I still think it's okay, so only Miss Jiang is better." ”
Shen Shuyi thought about it for a while, if Mrs. Lu really told Lu Qichi that Xu Yanan would be his wife in the future, it would be better for him to enter the gate of the Lu family less in the future, one would be annoying enough, and one more should be terrible.
Ji Feiyang said again: "One of you is talking about it, Miss Wednesday will be sixteen years old in another year, the second lady of the Zhou family is the most fond of Miss Three, and when the time comes, the choice of son-in-law will definitely be within Quyun, if this good thing falls on you and me, will you refuse?" ”
Xie Junyan laughed and said, "Naturally not, naturally not ......"
Shen Shuyi didn't even bother to roll his eyes, the so-called talented and beautiful people, who took off that shell, actually had the same virtue as ordinary people.
Lu Xianren finally opened his mouth to end the topic, and said in a flat tone: "If you don't achieve anything, don't drag others down." ”
Lu Qichi is obviously a high-level, and even if he has ideas, he won't show them, but according to his understanding of this person, he should be really not interested in these.
Ji Feiyang said: "What Brother Lu said is, I heard that you will go to Shanghai in two years?" Nanyang College is not easy to get into, are you sure? ”
Xie Junyan snorted disdainfully and said, "You think everyone is like you, others are not easy to say, Lu Er, I dare to guarantee that he will definitely pass the exam." Since Nanyang College is a place for people, it will definitely not be difficult for him. ”
Ji Feiyang said again: "That's natural, but I heard that the political circles in Shanghai have been a little hot recently, and Nanyang College has also begun to reduce its enrollment, and it is estimated that it will be more difficult to get in." ”
Xie Junyan said: "Since the Empress Dowager Cixi ascended to heaven and a little emperor sat in the Forbidden City, those politicians have not stopped for a day, and there was not a ...... in the first two years Will the China Alliance, it seems to be quite hot now, and there is a "People's Daily", right, Shaoyang, how many other periodicals do you have at home? ”
Yu Shaoyang responded: "There are dozens of issues, and my eldest brother came back a while ago and brought a few issues." ”
Ji Feiyang said with a smile: "Your eldest brother wants you to see more of the current situation, it turns out that scholars want to serve the country, and the current Qing government doesn't mention it, so it's not easy for scholars to do it, not only do they have to be knowledgeable, but they can also score clearly." ”
Yu Shaoyang said: "This is the reason, but now the world is chaotic, murder and arson are everywhere, my mother thinks it is better to live peacefully at this time, as for any major events in the political circles, it is not enough to ask three questions and not know." ”
Xie Junyan laughed at him and said, "That's a little bit of interest, then why are you studying?" ”
Yu Shaoyang replied fluently: "My mother said that reading is for face, and only by reading good books can you prove that you have the ability to marry a good daughter-in-law, and although my family doesn't have a lot of money, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, what do I do if I don't study?" ”
Xie Junyan asked him, "Why is it all your mother who said it, and your father didn't say anything?" ”
Yu Shaoyang laughed for a while and said, "My father said that my mother's opinion is a woman's opinion. ”
Shen Shuyi couldn't help but laugh out loud, Yu Shaoyang, this kid has this ability, he looks honest, but in fact, he has a bad stomach, and he has more ideas in his head than ordinary people.
He hurriedly held back the first laugh, but fortunately, Ji Feiyang's laughter was loud enough to directly cover his voice.
Xie Junyan said: "Did I say that, just because you kid can say such unproductive words, the face of the scholar makes you lose your face." ”
Ji Feiyang also echoed and laughed a few words, and then said in a positive voice: "I really think that the China Alliance will be good, Mr. Zhongshan's thinking is very reasonable, and now this country just needs to change!" Then he got up from his chair and said, "I heard that a few old officials in the capital recently want to take all the railways in the country into public ownership. ”
Xie Junyan said: "Isn't it the idea of a foreigner? However, this trick did damage a little, and the railways were not all built at the expense of the imperial court, and a large part of the people in that area of Sichuan were paid by the common people, and they were returned to the state at once, and it was really unreasonable to give no compensation at all. ”
Yu Shaoyang interjected: "No, it's just a mention, the people's reaction is so big, it will definitely end in the end, and now that the pressure on the court is so great, it is reasonable to do something foolish." ”
Ji Feiyang said: "Some can be confused, this kind of people's livelihood affairs can't be confused, you said that if the imperial court really does this, wouldn't it hurt the hearts of the people in the world?" Originally, the country is in turmoil now, and if it loses the support of the people, I think this clear government will ...... sooner or later."
Xie Junyan "shh In addition, there are many political parties now, and if you say the wrong thing, you may even invite disaster. ”
Ji Feiyang sneered and said, "What can we do in a small place like ours?" Not to mention Beijing and Shanghai, even if you go to Wuzhong, you have to take a few days in a carriage, you can see the whole Quyun, they are all living their own small lives, and there are really any big things that people care about when they get this, what can we do if we brothers talk about it? ”
Xie Junyan said: "What I said a few days ago was not wrong, now let's put it in my stomach." ”
Ji Feiyang asked, "What's wrong now?" ”
Xie Junyan said in a low voice: "In the past few days, Quyun has come to someone, this person seems to be a subordinate of a prince in the capital, not long ago he went to the Wuzhong area, killed a few famous revolutionaries and fled out, just these few days, to our Quyun." Saying that, he paused, "It doesn't matter if he comes, it has nothing to do with us in general, but this matter has provoked a lot of people, and many people have been sent to find him, and everything that has anything to do with him will not be let go." ”
Yu Shaoyang exclaimed: "Is there such a thing? We don't know, how did Brother Xie know? ”
Xie Junyan said: "Didn't my cousin open a teahouse in Wuzhong, this kind of thing has been spread a long time ago, but now Qu Yun doesn't know it." So, be careful with your mouth, although you are innocent, what if you are misunderstood? ”
Ji Feiyang said: "Don't spread rumors, the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is big, why did this person come to us by coincidence?" ”
Xie Junyan said: "Hey, who can say this kind of thing well, but, brother, I don't hide it alone, if any of you hide the fugitive, stay away from me these days, don't hurt me to sit down!" ”
The inside laughed again, and Ji Feiyang said: "If I really meet it, I will definitely ask someone to tie it up and stuff it into your house." ”
Xie Junyan said: "Wolf-hearted dog-lungs, it's you." If you stuff two beautiful girls in, for the sake of my brothers for so many years, I won't shirk it, and you might as well keep it in your own room. ”
Yu Shaoyang saw that Lu Qichi had only opened his mouth once for such a long time, so he asked, "Brother Lu, what do you think of this?" ”
After a while, Lu Qi said lately: "Hmm." ”
With a "hmm" word, Shen Shuyi raised his thumb behind the door, this is indeed the consistent style of Second Young Master Lu.
At this moment, a girl with refreshments came in from outside the courtyard, and she was stunned when she saw Shen Shuyi eavesdropping outside the door, but she was clever and didn't speak, and winked at him.
Shen Shuyi rolled his eyes, pulled the girl to the side, and said softly: "When the guests are gone, tell your second young master that I have been here, and I have been eavesdropping outside for a long time." As he spoke, he picked up a piece from the refreshment tray and put it in his mouth.
The girl asked him with a smile, "Young Master Shen, why don't you go in and sit?" The newly bought peach blossom crisp on East Street tastes good. ”
Shen Shuyi smiled and waved his hand, and said, "There's no need to go in, I'll come back another day, I don't know where I bought this peach blossom cake, I'll buy some for my mother to take back." ”
The girl thought for a while, and replied to him: "It seems that next to the preserved fruit shop on the street, there is a very old mother-in-law, and my family's pastries are made in addition to the kitchen, and Mrs. Tai has ordered to buy only hers." ”
Shen Shuyi let out a long "oh", thanked him with a smile, and then turned around and strode out.
