Zheng Sen did not directly propose a solution to the problem, but said a bunch of irrelevant words, the three people present were a little disappointed, Yu Huai smiled bitterly, "Although I am a Fujian, but I have lived in Nanjing since I was a child, and now I can't go back to my home in Baixia. ”

Gu Xi shook his head and said, "What did Mr. Yu say, you can live here in the slave family." ”

Yu Huai smiled, and said in his heart that you are too expensive here, I don't have anything to do now, and I don't have the appearance and talent that can make my sisters free of orders, so I don't dare to agree to you easily.

Qian Sunai also persuaded him, "You can live in our house, even if Ruan Huzi is domineering, you have to give your father a little face." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Zheng Sen meaningfully, which means that you look at me, stick a knife in your ribs for your friend, and then look at yourself who is obviously capable but deliberately does not help, they will not like your behavior, and it is even more impossible to join them.

Feeling the dissatisfied eyes of his junior brother, Zheng Sen was a little angry, but he has always done his own thing, even if he is not understood, as long as he thinks it is right, he will definitely persevere, "Mr. has finally gained a foothold in the court, we can't make trouble for him!" ”

Yu Huai was very happy to hear that he could live in the Qian Mansion, but Zheng Sen's words poured him cold like a basin of ice water. The scholar is the thinnest, even if it is not Qian Qianyi or Qian Sunai who personally refused, he was embarrassed to agree, so he had to laugh dryly, "Da Mu is right, there is not much Austrian aid from our Fushe in the court, and we must not be willful anymore." ”

Zheng Sen nodded, picked up a pen and wrote a letter and handed it to him, "Brother Guangxia, although I can't help you rescue your colleagues in the Restoration Society for the time being, I can still help you find a place to stay." My fourth uncle is stationed in Zhenjiang and is responsible for river defense, and the following Yanziji is his defense area, if you have nowhere to stay, you can go to the boat to rest, with this letter, even if Ruan Huzi is in person, he doesn't dare to do anything to you! ”

His fourth uncle's name is Zheng Hongkui, the current Zhenjiang commander-in-chief, with the seal of General Zhenhai, only last month led part of the Zheng family naval army into Zhenjiang, responsible for the river defense of the line from Nanjing Yanziji to the mouth of the Yangtze River, Yanziji has a water village, if Yu Huai can hide there, Ruan Dacheng really can't go in and search.

"Then thank you Brother Oki!" Yu Huai remembered his previous contempt for him, as well as the resentment that arose from being slapped in the face just now, and his face couldn't help but feel a little hot, "Brother Da Mu is hot, and he is ashamed of his brother!" ”

Zheng Sen smiled, "Brother Guangxia, why did you say this, you and I are both townsmen and peers, we should help each other when we go out, although the younger brother is not talented, this truth has been understood since childhood!" ”

Seeing that Zheng Sen took action to solve the problem, Qian Sunai's face also turned from gloomy to clear, and said happily, "Since Brother Guangxia feels ashamed, why don't you stay here to help us town?" ”

"Town?" Yu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again, "Ru Yi is right, I have nowhere to go, so let's bother here for a few days." ”

Seeing that he was finally willing to stay, Zheng Sen was also very happy, although he felt that he was useless and a little duplicitous, but his talent was really good, especially the couplet he wrote just now, he asked himself that even if he buried himself in ten years of hard study, he would not be able to write it, with him as the chief examiner in the ring, maybe he could really recruit a few useful talents.

At this moment, two scholars came together, and the four of them looked at each other, and then laughed tacitly. These two scholars are only average, although they have a couplet, but the level of their own couplets is also very average, Zheng Sen already has Yu Huai as a benchmark, so naturally he will not invite them to come in for a banquet.

In order to select real masters, Zheng Sen temporarily modified the rules, according to the original rules, the upper link of the lower link will be put away, but this is not conducive to building momentum, he only accepted the lower link, and the upper link is still hanging on the other people in the examination school. He no longer sets limits, the scholars can play as much as they want, as long as they match a pair, he will give a hundred taels of silver.

In this way, Hanguang Building is out of place, and at night it is even more crowded, the original three couplets have become more than 20 paintings, the front yard of Hanguang Building is too small, it can't be spread at all, Gu Xi had to take out a clothesline to dry like clothes, but this has created another problem - these couplets are all written in black and white, hanging in the front yard of different lengths and swaggering in the wind as if summoning spirits.

Qian Sunai couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene, "Xi Niang, it's half of July now, you have to be careful when you sleep at night, be careful that your ancestors come to you for money!" ”

Gu Xi was also a little crying and laughing, so he had to order his subordinates to buy red paper, and the four of them were busy for a while and copied the Shanglian again, and the red paper and black characters were matched with the two red lanterns on the upstairs door, and the atmosphere suddenly became festive.

"That's right!" Qian Sunai laughed, "Riding a horse and leaning on the bridge, full of red sleeves, with these couplets as a foil, Xi Niang's business will become more and more prosperous!" ”

Gu Xi is also very satisfied with today's masterpiece, the green buildings of the old courtyard have their own characteristics, Meixiang Building is simple and clear, and it is to break away from the wind; Nuancui Building is fresh and elegant, and you can relax as soon as you enter; Hanxiu Zhai has an old plum, two trees and a clump of green bamboo, which is not as clean as the world. And Hanguang Lou is a little cheesy because the owner is kind and welcoming, and now with these names, it seems to be much more cultured.

More than 20 couplets were collected in one day, Yu Huai was very happy, but Zheng Sen was not very satisfied, although they collected a lot of famous couplets, but there were not many people who could do couplets, especially only one talented person.

At the end of the day, a lot of money was spent, but only one person was snared, Qian Sunai took advantage of Yu Huai's absence and said dissatisfied, "After a busy day, I only got one person, it's really not cost-effective, I don't know when we can find the person we want!" ”

After getting acquainted with Yu Huai, the backbone of the Restoration Society, Zheng Sen's initial goal had been achieved, and he said disapprovingly, "Don't worry, we have nothing to do, just put it here for ten days and a half months, and we can always meet real celebrities." ”

Qian Sunai glanced at Yu Huai and Gu Xi, who were busy inside, and whispered, "How to arrange it at night?" ”

Zheng Sen said, "Let's go home and let Brother Guangxia stay here." ”

Qian Sunai glanced at Gu Xi and smacked his lips, "Ahem, what a stunner, he's cheap!" ”

Zheng Sen quipped, "Haven't you always liked small and delicate girls, why do you suddenly like this type again, could it be that when you see her, you think of your former nurse?" ”

"you!" Qian Sunai gave him a punch, and then said with a smile, "I naturally like to be small and exquisite, but if I grow like her, I won't refuse!" ”

Zheng Sen smiled faintly, "What is this, you will go to Japan with me in the future, the girls there are beautiful, Huan Feiyan is thin and omnipresent, not only beautiful, but also very docile!" ”

Qian Sunai's eyes widened suddenly, "Really? ”

"Of course it's true, when did I lie to you?" Zheng Sen smiled, got up and walked inside.

Qian Sunai sneered, "Hmph, are you still lying to me less?" ”

Zheng Sen ignored him, the two came to the inner courtyard, Gu Xi and Yu Huai heard that they were leaving, so they were naturally reluctant in every way, but Zheng Sen was a very assertive person, and said, "Brother Guangxia, Xiaoxi, it's not that we don't want to stay, it's really that when I left home, my father had an explanation, so that I could serve my teacher well, and I couldn't disobey it in the slightest." ”

Qian Sunai had already selectively forgotten about the incident with his father yesterday, and echoed on the side, "Yes, yes!" My father was the strictest of his upbringing, so we could play as much as we wanted during the day, but we had to go back at night! ”

Seeing that they had moved Zheng Zhilong and Qian Qianyi out, and the two of them were not forced to stay, Gu Xi said, "Then you have to come early tomorrow, don't let the slave family worry about it for a long time." ”

Zheng Sen agreed, "This is natural! ”

Qian Sunai quipped, "Sister Gu, you have Brother Guangxia as your companion tonight, can you still get up tomorrow?" ”

Gu Xi didn't care, but teased, "Please rest assured, the slave family is in good health, if you don't believe it, you can try it!" ”

Qian Sunai made a big red face, but the other three laughed, and when they left, Gu Xi said to Yu Huai with a smile, "A child who hasn't grown all the hair also comes to make fun of the old lady, hey, she's really tired and crooked!" ”
