Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Heart of a Brother
Zhuo Zhaojie didn't go through many twists and turns to find Zhuo 'Yu' Niang and his party, but found that the rest of the people were there, but Zhuo Zhaoshu was missing, Zhuo Zhaojie and everyone saw the salute, and after entering the table, he asked curiously: "What about the eighth sister?" ”
Zhuo Zhaoshu's younger brother Zhuo Zhaojia hadn't said anything yet, and Zhuo 'Yu' had already said first: "Didn't she learn from you?" Where is the heart here now? ”
Zhuo Zhaojie was slightly stunned when he heard this, Zhuo Zhaojia had already coughed, and said in a low voice: "Eighth Sister has a few problems with piano skills that she wants to ask Shi Erlangjun, so she won't be with us today." When he said this, his brows furrowed, and he glanced at Zhuo 'Yu' Niang coldly, obviously dissatisfied with her Zhuo Zhaoshu's words.
Hearing this, Zhuo Zhaojie glanced at Zhuo 'Yu' Niang, and said lightly: "I see, but what the sixth sister said and what the eighth sister learned from me is ridiculous, I have practiced the pipa for a few days, but I have never 'touched' the piano!" Isn't the sixth sister too tired today, and she can't even tell the difference between the piano and the pipa? ”
"I didn't know you could play a lute." Although Zhuo's 'jade' mother is a concubine's 'daughter', but because she was brought up by Zhou's own 'daughter', and she is a big house, she has always been a little arrogant, and she didn't mean to let her at all, she raised her eyebrows and said, "I mean, Eighth Sister, she hasn't learned from you, so she won't be with us?" ”
Zhuo Zhao Jieyuan's young 'daughter' and grandfather's favored master of the family, it is even more impossible to let her, her face sank in an instant, and she sneered: "I didn't know that I had such a big ability? I've only met the eighth sister two or three times, and I can actually let the eighth sister learn from me? Or no one told me before I came that when I arrived at the princess's banquet, I had to be together everywhere and not be separated? Shouldn't I also go and ask Her Royal Highness the princess to change my place of residence to near you, Seventh Sister? ”
Without waiting for Zhuo 'Jade' Niang to speak, Zhuo Zhaojie said disdainfully, "Everyone up and down said that this 'spring' banquet does not need to be restrained, and our family will be bound together, could it be that Sixth Sister, your rules are bigger than the princess's rules?" ”
Zhuo 'Yu' Niang said slightly angrily: "You are really polite when you speak!" I'm your sister! ”
"Our eldest sister is not in Chang'an." Zhuo Zhaojie didn't see Zhuo Zhaocui's eyes, and said coldly, "Who are you putting on the shelf of the eldest 'daughter'?" ”
"Who's playing with you?" Zhuo 'Yu' Niang laughed angrily, "If you hadn't asked Eighth Sister, would I be willing to ignore you?" ”
Zhuo Zhaojie said: "This is really good, you don't want to pay attention to me, and I can't wait to hear your voice - it's better for you to answer less when I ask in the future!" ”
Seeing that they had said it to this point in just a few words, the three brothers Zhuo Zhirun, Zhuo Zhaocui, and Zhuo Zhaojia couldn't stop it, Zhuo Zhaocui was also annoyed, and said coldly: "Have you said enough?!" ”
He didn't shout loudly, but Zhuo Zhaojie and Zhuo 'Yu' Niang could hear the warning inside, although the oldest one here was Zhuo Zhirun, but he was a second room and a concubine, and he was not raised by Min Pinghou himself like Zhuo Zhaocui, but his prestige in the Zhuo family was not as good as Zhuo Zhaocui, so he didn't make a sound.
Zhuo 'Yu' Niang and Zhuo Zhaojie glared at each other, but in the end they gave Zhuo Zhaocui face and stopped talking.
Zhuo Zhaocui was really annoyed in his heart, drank them, and said coldly: "This is the princess banquet, you all stop!" "Don't wait for Zhuo 'Yu' Niang to answer, he said Zhuo Zhaojie first, "The sixth sister just said casually, what did you say?" How can there be a little bit of talking to my sister! That's why Zhuo 'Yu' Niang, "They are all their own sisters, it's good to say things if you want to talk about things!" If you don't like to answer, let someone else answer! ”
Zhuo Zhaojie and Zhuo 'Yu' Niang both said yes reluctantly, and they both felt a sense of grievance in their hearts - Zhuo Zhaojie regretted not following Gu Pan'er, thinking that she knew that Dafang's cousin was so difficult to get along with, so she was not happy to come over and suffer from this anger.
Although the quarrel between the sisters was forcibly stopped by Zhuo Zhaocui, but then both Zhuo 'Yu' Niang and Zhuo Zhaojie were 'yin' faces, and their faces sank like water, Zhuo Zhirun and Zhuo Zhaojia tried to ease the scene several times but no one answered.
The atmosphere stiffened for a moment.
Zhuo Zhaocui is now worried about Zhuo Zhaojie and Ning Shaobi's affairs, and he doesn't have the heart to coax their sisters to make peace, thinking that they are all their own sisters, and they are from the little mother's family.
Therefore, in the noisy mansion, the seats on the Zhuo family's side were unexpectedly quiet.
But this silence didn't last long, and when the number of people gradually increased, a few people suddenly walked over to this side, and after a few seats next to them, they smiled and said, "Brother Zhuo? ”
The Zhuo family followed the prestige, but it was three teenagers who came together, the first one was burly, although he was dressed as a scholar, he was more like a military general's son, with upright eyebrows, the person on the left was dressed in purple, with a 'jade' crown on his head, and his eyebrows were trimmed, but what Zhuo Zhaojie paid attention to was a green shirt on the right side - it was Shen Dangu who he had seen in the greenhouse.
Zhuo Zhaocui, Zhuo Zhirun, and Zhuo Zhaojia all stood up and took a few steps away from the table to greet them: "Brother Shi Xian, Brother Tao Xian!" Glancing at Shen Dangu, Zhuo Zhaocui nodded imperceptibly, and said lightly, "Cousin Shen is also here?" ”
The burly young man approached, bowed down and saluted, and said with a smile: "Two Zhuo brothers, I will wait for the original seat to be seated by others, and I am looking for a seat next to it. ”
The Zhuo family naturally will not refuse, the group sat down again, and the two sides introduced each other, this Shi Shilang is the third son of the Guozi Supervisor Jiu Shi Chen, with a single name and a broad character, the Tao brother's name is Tao Rui, and he has already performed the crown ceremony, and the word added is Shen Feng, but he is a person from Shuzhong, and these two people and Shen Dangu and Zhuo Zhaocui are both studying in the Guozi Prison, and they are all classmates.
The 'female' dependents described the rankings in turn, but Zhuo 'Yu' Niang and Shi Kuo knew each other, so they asked, "Shi Langjun, who did you give up your seat to?" ”
Shen Dangu didn't say that Shi Kuo's father was the son of the country who supervised the sacrificial wine, and he was still quite prestigious in Chang'an, not to mention that Princess Yikang's 'spring' banquet had always been the first to come, and it was rare to see others give up their seats, and Shi Kuo was not a flattering or cowardly person, Zhuo 'Yu' Niang was curious, so she asked.
Shi Kuo smiled and said, "Who else can it be?" A group of little ladies, several families...... Chirping and arguing, can we not let it? ”
Zhuo 'Yu' Niang's eyes rolled, clapped her hands and said, "Hey, Shi Er hasn't come yet, why did they start occupying a place?" ”
Ah Xing saw that Zhuo Zhaojie had a suspicious 'color' on his face, but because he had quarreled with Zhuo 'Yu' Niang just now, he didn't speak, so he quietly told her: "Shi Erlang Jun has outstanding demeanor, and every time there is a banquet, the little ladies want to compete for a place closer to him to appreciate, for example, the eighth lady probably didn't sit here because of this." ”
I heard Tao Rui smile and said: "Shi Erlangjun hasn't arrived yet, but Shi Wulangjun has already arrived...... He just sat down next to us. ”
Zhuo Zhirun looked steady, and couldn't help but sigh at this moment: "The two Lang Jun of the Shi family ......" Although he didn't say the next words, everyone knew the meaning of the words, and they all laughed heartily.
Zhuo Zhaojie also felt that it was not easy for the three children of Shi Weining, Shi Yafeng and Shi Caifeng to be able to go out at the same time, and he didn't know how Shi Xiang taught?
However, Shi Weining and Shi Caifeng have seen it, and Shi Yafeng, who is respected by many people, is said to be like a fairy, and I don't know what kind of person he is? Zhuo Zhaojie became curious, and whispered to Ah Xing: "Erlangjun will come in a while, if you can see it here, remind me." ”
Ah Xing pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, even if the maid doesn't say it when Shi Erlangjun comes over, the lady can't be mistaken to know." ”
This means that Shi Yafeng will cause a sensation in the audience when it comes?
Zhuo Zhaojie thought of Ning Shaobi and Shi Caifeng's fan, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook, thinking that if this was the case, it would be no wonder that Ning Shaobi and Shi Caifeng, who were still young a few years ago, had to learn from Shi Yafeng......
She walked down here, and only then did she notice a few words, Shi Kuo was already talking to Zhuo Zhaocui about the imperial examination, Shi Kuo said: "My father recently examined my homework, but he allowed me to test the water this time. ”
Zhuo Zhaocui said with a smile: "Then I will congratulate Brother Shi Xian on the inscription on the list!" ”
"Hah!" Shi Kuo was hearty, and said with a smile at the moment, "Hachiro, you also come to this set?" How's my homework, you guys don't know? My father also asked me to practice my hands, and whether I hit or not, it was all fate. ”
Tao Rui was obviously familiar with him, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "Others rely on real kung fu to end up, but Brother Shi, you rely on fate?" But I don't know if it's the fate of the cases in the examination room or the fate of pen and ink? ”
Shi Kuo said: "It doesn't matter what fate it is...... This time, I've been happy, but it's reasonable. ”
Zhuo Zhaojie pursed his lips, thinking that this person is interesting, since he is not sure, he actually doesn't take Qiu Yu seriously - of course, there are many such people, but it is really frank to say it without fear in front of the public, not to mention that this Shi Kuo is also the son of the country's priest wine......
She was secretly funny here, but the topic over there was Shen Dangu: "If you want to talk about Qiu Yu Xie Yuan this time, I want to suppress Brother Shen Xian." ”
Shen Dangu, who hadn't spoken much, put down the wine bottle and said lightly: "Brother Shi has a reputation, how dare I deserve it?" Zhuo Zhaojie noticed that this Shen Dangu spoke slower than ordinary people, and it seemed that he had to think carefully every time he exited.
Zhuo Zhaocuiquan didn't hear it, so he took the topic away: "Speaking of Qiu, many of our classmates are sure, but next year it will be 'spring'......"
Shi Kuo and Tao Rui both asked solemnly: "Could it be that Hachiro intends to end up?" ”
"I'm just a shallow learner, and I don't have the words of my elders, but I don't dare to try it easily." Zhuo Zhaocui smiled and said, "But Cousin Ruan has this intention......"
"Brother Shi is talented, I expect to be able to hit the list in one fell swoop." The children who were born and raised in Chang'an all knew who he was talking about Cousin Ruan, and they all nodded to Shen Yunshu, Shi Kuo and others, obviously admiring Ruan Yunshu's talent and learning.
Zhuo Zhaocui was about to lead them to say more about this, so he continued: "I think so too, although my cousin has always been humble, his foundation is very solid, not to mention that when he took a subject, his cousin intended to end up, but at that time, his uncle was ill, and his cousin was unable to go to the examination room for the sake of 'serving' his illness, and this time I expect that the ranking will be better." ”
"Brother Shi has always been filial." Shi Kuo said, "Ruan Yushi was born as a 'flower' in the first armor, and he is expected to be among the best in terms of his brother and son stepfather. ”
Tao Rui also sighed: "If Brother Shi is so talented, and humble, quiet, respectful and filial piety, my generation is really ashamed!" ”
Zhuo Zhaocui is happier to listen to these words now than to hear them praise himself, he continued to talk about this topic, while secretly paying attention to Zhuo Zhaojie, and said in his heart: Qi Niang, listen well, such a young man is the lover you should choose!
