Chapter 56: The hostility of the little grandfather
"The Duke of Wei's Mansion? Little grandfather? Zhu Biao frowned.
Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, is now on an expedition and has not yet returned to Beijing. The people of the Wei State Mansion, what are you doing in the Prince's Mansion?
"Little grandfather?" Mu Ying was also a little strange. "If I'm not mistaken, Xu Shuai's eldest son's name is Xu Yungong, and he hasn't won the crown this year, why do you name two highnesses?"
"Not yet crowned?" Zhu Biao was even more puzzled. In this way, this little grandfather is still a child in terms of age. Now that the head of the Wei Mansion is outside, why did he come to visit the Prince's Mansion.
"If you want to do so much, go outside and meet him for a while, and you will know it at a glance." Zhu Su said.
"Yes." Zhu Biao nodded, and walked out with Zhu Su.
When the two brothers arrived at the gatehouse, they saw a young man, who looked about the same age as Zhu Su, but he was sitting in a precarious position, not squinting, looking like a little adult. Seeing Zhu Biao coming, he hurriedly jumped off the stool. He bowed and said, "Xu Yungong has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" Rashly visited, there are a number of rudeness, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive his sins! ”
"Brother Xu is polite. You and I are two world friends, and we should move around more, so we don't have to be so different. Zhu Biao helped Xu Yungong up, and was amazed in his heart: this young man has a face like a crown of jade, and he is also polite and thoughtful, and his demeanor is steady, and he will definitely be a virtuous gentleman in the future. Uncle Xu's tutor is really amazing.
looked at his fifth brother again, since he revealed his identity, this younger brother has become more and more tired and jumpy, regardless of the world, although he is also a young man, compared with this little grandfather Xu, alas......
Someone else's child......
He noticed some gifts beside Xu Yungong, and suddenly had doubts in his heart, and asked, "I don't know if Little Brother Xu is here, but what does Aunt Xu have to order?" Uncle Xu is busy with state affairs, if I have my brother who is a world friend, can help, but I say that. You don't have to give these extraneous gifts. ”
"Ah, I don't dare to bother His Royal Highness the Prince, it's my sister...... Ahem, it was my mother who sent me a gift to His Royal Highness King Wu as a token of gratitude. As he spoke, he made a gesture to Zhu Biao: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Wu has arrived at the mansion, can you summon a meeting?" ”
"Hey, it was given to me?" Zhu Su poked his head out from behind Zhu Biao, startling Xu Yungong. "I don't have anything to do with your Xu family? Why give me a gift? ”
He was just lying in the courtyard basking in the sun, wearing only a robe that was easy to move, and there was no nobility. Then he made soap and fiddled with firearms, which inevitably stained a little dirty. When he followed Zhu Biao without a sound just now, Xu Yungong only thought that he was a little servant of the prince's mansion, where did he think that he was Zhu Su, the king of Wu, a royal nobleman?
"You...... Ahem, you are His Royal Highness King Wu? Xu Yungong looked Zhu Su up and down, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: This dirty guy turned out to be the fifth son of the emperor who was praised to the sky by his sister?
Xu Yungong's sister Xu Miaoyun, although she is young, she is amazingly talented. There is nothing she is not proficient in. In the Wei Mansion, if Xu Da is not in the family, it is the young Xu Miaoyun who is in charge of everything at home, and Xu Da's wife does not ask. has such a capable sister, Xu Yungong has always regarded her as a role model, and she is in her heart full of admiration, and she is secretly determined to work harder and make sure that her sister is proud of herself.
Some time ago, the people of Xu Mansion were panicked, and several uncles said that their father was fierce and unlucky, and they should have prepared early, and their mother washed her face with tears all day long. The elder sister asserted that her father was fine, and even came up with practical inferences. With her assertion, her mother temporarily calmed her worries and painted a scoop according to the gourd, which calmed the hearts of the people in the house, and the turmoil in the house was peaceful.
But my sister told her family that the inference was not obtained by herself, but from the Fifth Highness who met by chance in the palace.
Whenever this Fifth Highness is mentioned, the sister who has always been cold has a light in her eyes and is extremely admired. He has always respected his sister, and he is naturally unconvinced. Therefore, now that I see Zhu Su for the first time, I have three points of unhappiness: these five highnesses have always been unknown, but by chance the blind cat ran into a dead mouse, how can it be compared to me reading poetry and books? How can he be so praised by his sister?
However, the family heard that His Royal Highness Fifth was displeased with His Majesty and was expelled from the palace and put in the Prince's Mansion to live. Mother and sister both think that the Fifth Highness has the grace to stabilize the Xu family, and think that they should send some small gifts to help His Highness settle down, and also express the Xu family's ungrateful and ungrateful meaning.
In the house, only he, the little grandfather, has the most comparable status. Although Xu Yungong didn't want to come, he had to come because of his mother and sister, and it was a human relationship.
Zhu Su looked at the gifts by himself, Xu Yungong frowned, and secretly looked down on his rudeness in his heart. Zhu Biao asked him again about his intentions, but he didn't dare to slack off, so he explained Zhu Su's explanation of Xu Miaoyun in the imperial garden.
"Oh. I see. Zhu Biao was stunned. Aunt Xu, too, is too polite. Uncle Xu's retreat was not the work of my fifth brother. And why break the bank. Zhu Su also said: "I'm just talking about it, and you guys are too polite." ”
Xu Yungong's face remained unchanged, and he bowed slightly to Zhu Biao: "Mother's order, Yungong will not dare to disobey." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also asked to accept this gift, and Yun Gong would like to give it to his mother. But he didn't even look at Zhu Su.
Zhu Su frowned: How do you feel that this little brother seems to be deliberately ignoring me?
Zhu Biao smiled slightly: "In this case, I will accept it on behalf of my fifth brother." Brother Xu is the same age as my fifth brother, and in the future, he should come here a lot and be a student companion for my fifth brother. ”
"The fifth brother acts out of the way, but the younger brother Xu is a young man. Just let me, the fifth brother, learn from you. ”
Zhu Su raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Biao with dissatisfaction: Boss Zhu, you let me learn from this little brother?
"Don't dare." Xu Yungong said humbly, but he felt that it was very useful in his heart: That's it. I can read a thousand words at the age of three and memorize Tang poems at the age of five, how can I be worse than this dirty Fifth Highness? Why is my big sister talking about him, but she doesn't look at me?
After all, it is still a teenager's heart, and being praised by Zhu Biao like this, he can't help but put up the shelf of primary school. He turned his head to Zhu Su and said, "Although Yungong is not talented, he can be regarded as having read some poetry books thanks to his sister's good teaching. ”
"If Your Highness has any doubts, you can come and ask me. Whatever I know, I know it! ”
Although the attitude is polite, the meaning of the language reveals a bit of high confidence. It seems that Zhu Su is unlearned and unskilled, and he is not as good as him.
Hmph, what the Fifth Highness. I, Xu Yungong, can answer his questions, but my sister still has to look at me differently?
"Oh?" Zhu Su's eyelids jumped and he raised his eyebrows.
Old Master Song doesn't care, even a little brother who hasn't grown up yet, wants to be my teacher? Let me ask you as much as I want?
Little brother, are you worthy of it too? …… Zhu Lao Wu smiled coldly and decided to help this confident little brother reshape his three views.
