Two days later, Mengpo Zhai study.

Jia Zhu, Jia Qiong, and Shen sat around the coffee table with three people, drinking tea, laughing, and listening to fairy music.

Not long after, Yuan Chun finished stroking the piano and also sat around.

Looking at Yuan Chun who was sitting and drinking tea, his plump cheeks were as delicate as snow, his lips were dotted, and his eyes were tactful, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

Although she had heard this sound several times, Jia Qiong still felt the same as the first time, and listened with her eyes closed every time.

The piano stops and stops, and there is still a feeling of lingering sound.

I couldn't help but praise: "The eldest sister's piano skills are superb, and every time my brother listens to it, it seems like the first time he hears it, and he can't help but close his eyes and listen."

Each of these performances is different, or a small bridge and a stream of water; or the solitude of the mountains; Or like gold as stone, like entering the battlefield and smelling the golden iron horse. My brother admired him very much. ”

Listening to Jia Qiong's unstingy praise, Yuan Chun's eyebrows were lowered, his apricot eyes were slightly narrowed, a smile flowed out of the corners of his eyes, his cheeks were slightly red, and the corners of his mouth were raised, bringing up shallow dimples. looked at Jia Qiong and said:

"Brother Qiong, how do you tease your sister like this every time, how can my sister be as good as you praise."

After speaking, he picked up the tea cup with one hand, pinched the hand of the silk silk, and picked up the lid of the cup like an orchid finger, covered his face with the silk silk, handed it to his lips, and took two sips.

The starry eyes flowed, raised his eyes slightly, and secretly glanced at Jia Qiong and the others. Seeing that none of the three of them looked at him, Fang exhaled lightly.

When Jia Zhu heard this, her peach blossom eyes were also full of smiles, and she said with a smile in her mouth: "The eldest sister's piano skills are as usual, beautiful and beautiful. ”

Hearing the praise of the two, Shen Zizheng also said: "Sister Jia, the piano skills are superb, extraordinary, and the sister of the Zhang family is not divided between Xuanyuan, it is difficult to compete." If you have the opportunity to meet your sister again in the future, you should have something in common. ”

Hearing that the three of them were constantly praising themselves, Yuan Chun's confident cheeks were also constantly swelling with shame and flushing.

So he simply found the reason and said: "The eldest brother is chatting with Brother Qiong and the younger brother of the Shen family, I will go to the backyard to find the ancestor and see if Baoyu has woken up." ”

Then he put on his pleated skirt and walked out of the courtyard, out of the study, trotting all the way, bringing up bursts of rings, and the sound was endless.

Baoqin had to trot away all the way.

Seeing Yuan Chun leaving, Jia Zhu calmed down, and then asked Shen Zizheng: "Senior brother, you and Uncle Zhang and Sister Shen can make up your mind." ”

Shen Zizheng saw Jia Zhu say this, and he also knew that Jia Zhu was taking his own affairs to heart. looked at Jia Zhu and Jia Qiong with a smile, and then faced Jia Zhu and said:

"Senior Brother Xie cares, yesterday Uncle Zhang came back early, and my brother and uncle talked about it.

Although my uncle agreed that my sibling would go to my father's place for the Chinese New Year, he was worried that I would be safe on the road.

I said what my brother said, and my uncle agreed.

After I communicated with my sister, I also felt that my brother's proposal was very good, and I would trouble my brother about this matter. ”

"What is there to be thankful for, brothers and sisters should love each other. Besides, my two fathers also have a tacit understanding, and the three of me are from the same school, brothers, friends and brothers, and it is natural that I should be.

It just so happens that tomorrow my aunt's family will have a merchant ship set off for Jinling, and it will dock in Linqing, Shandong, and then it will be more convenient for you to find Uncle Shen. ”

After the matter was finished, the three of them had another cup of tea.

Looking at the Xiaoxiang spotted bamboo outside the window, Shen Zizheng seemed to remember something, so he said: "Senior brother, when I was at my teacher's house before, I heard that you wrote two poems about cuizhu, can you recite them." Let the brother also feast his ears and taste a few points. ”

When Jia Qiong heard this, he recited the bamboo stone and the miscellaneous poem he made one by one, and Jia Zhu and Shen Zizheng naturally tasted it again, envying Jia Qiong's poetic talent.

also knew that after he left two days ago, Jia Qiong made a couplet with the natural residence, and the case of Zhizhi Ding Er, which was full of praise.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came, and the three of them hurriedly looked at the door.

I saw Mrs. Wang with a few maids and quickly walked into the study.

The three of them hurriedly got up, bowed to Mrs. Wang, and stood beside them.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang showed some embarrassment on her face, looked at the three of them, and said:

"Zhu'er, which son is this little brother? I haven't seen it before, so you can introduce it to your mother. ”

When Jia Zhu saw her mother ask this, a sense of surprise appeared on her face, her mother would never come to the study on weekdays, and she would not ask what kind of people she had befriended.

Coming suddenly today, there must be something, my mother knows Brother Qiong, but she doesn't know about the self-recruited junior brother, so she may be thinking about whether she can let the self-recruited junior brother hear.

Thinking of this, he said to Mrs. Wang:

"Mother, this is my junior brother, the second disciple accepted by the teacher, Brother Qiong is the closed disciple of the teacher, the three of me are senior brothers, and the teacher is only three disciples.

The younger brother's surname is Shen Zizheng, and his father is his father's best friend. Today, I also invited my junior brother to come and be a guest. ”

Hearing Jia Zhu say this, Mrs. Wang showed some embarrassment on her face, and slowly faded away after a few breaths.

Jia Qiong and Shen Zizheng looked at Mrs. Wang's face, and also knew that she might have something to say to Jia Zhu.

The two of them are a little inconvenient here.

Then they glanced at each other, got up at the same time and said, Senior brother, you talk to your aunt, let's go to the yard for a walk.

About half a pillar of incense, Fang saw Mrs. Wang come out of the study, came to the courtyard, and beckoned the maid to prepare to leave Mengpo Zhai.

As soon as I arrived at the courtyard, I saw the two of them, with a smile on my face, glanced at the two of them, paused slightly, and walked over again. Admonished:

"This nephew of the Shen family and Qiong'er, you have a good time here, talk more with your senior brother, and I will ask the back kitchen to bring you some snacks later, and then some melon seeds and peanuts and other snacks."

After a few words of encouragement to the two, Fang and the maid left Mengpo Zhai.

When the two entered the room, they looked at Jia Zhu, who was contemplating, and didn't say much. Jia Qiong and Shen Zizheng poured tea, poured another cup with themselves, and slowly tasted tea.

After a long time, Jia Zhu came back to his senses, looked at the two of them who were pouring themselves drinks, and said with a smile: "You two guys, you don't know how to pour it for the senior brother." ”

Looking at the concern on the faces of the two, he smiled and said:

"It's okay, my mother just said something about the family, but it's not a big deal. Tomorrow, I will recruit my junior brother to go to Shandong, and my brother will go with me. ”

Shen Zizheng was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Senior brother is also going to Shandong?" But there is something that needs to be done by the junior and younger brothers. ”

Hearing Shen Zizheng say this, Jia Zhu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth:

"But my words made the junior brother misunderstand, I didn't go to Shandong for my brother, I just passed through Shandong, and I went to Jinling for my brother this time.

The aunt in the family passed away, and the mother and aunt had not seen each other for many years, so they were quite worried, so they asked the senior brother to meet the aunt on her behalf and be relieved.

I was going to wait for the New Year to go again, and traveled all the way to Shandong, picked up my junior brothers, and then went south together, which was also a happy thing.

At that time, you can go to your relatives' houses by the way, and if so, you can also go to Yangzhou. See what Li Taibai said, "fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March".

Then travel all the way to Jinling, it is estimated that it is only May, we will visit the surrounding scenic spots, make friends with local scholars, and talk about the world together.

Unfortunately, there are elders in the family who have passed away, and they need to go in advance, so they can't stay at home for the New Year. That's why I said that I would go south with my junior brother tomorrow. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look at Jia Qiong and said, "Brother Qiong, how do you arrange, whether to celebrate the New Year in Shenjing before or go south with Brother Wei." However, it may take two years to turn around. ”

Hearing Jia Zhu say this, Jia Qiong didn't think about it, and said: "My brother still celebrates the New Year at home first, and it has been too long, so I need to make some arrangements with my mother and sister about things at home." After a year, let's take my aunt's merchant ship south.

After laughing again, Jia Qiong and Shen Zizheng said goodbye and left.
