Chapter 31: Chinese New Year's Eve (9) Sad tears
When he arrived at Yandingfang, according to the introduction of Tian Yi's parents and inquiring all the way, Zhao Hong entered the small courtyard with the gate open suspiciously.
The house is long and narrow, the width is only about three meters, the door is the yard, the wall rammed by loess, the ring is blocked, there is a stone table in the yard, two or three old trees, bald branches and cold bones, covering the courtyard.
One person in the courtyard was playing with the little girl, and it was Tian Yi.
"Xu Liang, come out quickly, who do you see coming?"
Seeing that it was Zhao Hong who came in, Tian Yixi smiled and shouted loudly into the house.
A young scholar walked out and saw Zhao Hong, who was smiling kindly, with surprise on his face.
Zhao ...... Your Highness, why are you here? ”
Zhao Hong knew in his heart that there was no need to introduce, this was his friend Xu Liang.
is so handsome, this should be the legendary little white face.
The waist is straight, the sturdy is not enough to be light, and the skin is white and tender, at first glance, people think that she is a beautiful woman dressed as a man.
This made him inexplicably reminded him of a certain artist among the so-called four sons who returned to China in later generations, but this Xu Liang was more civilized.
The white and clean Xu Liu came out of the kitchen, and a cyan cotton coat could not hide his delicate figure. She and Xu Liang stood together, a beautiful couple, full of husband and wife.
Xu Liang, this kid, is not shallow, and his eyes are vicious.
The guards put down their gifts and stood in the corner of the courtyard so as not to disturb the Yaxing of these people.
Xu Liang hurriedly pulled the restrained Xu Liu and introduced the two parties.
"Lady, Ying'er, I've seen Your Highness soon!"
Xu Liu's face was full of smiles, and he hurriedly pulled his three-year-old daughter to salute Zhao Hong, respectfully.
"I've seen Your Highness!"
The natural class gap between the commoners and the clan cannot be crossed.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be polite!"
Zhao Hong smiled with a smile on his face, handed the dim sum tea to the woman, took out two "red envelopes", and stuffed them.
This is "New Year's money", I wish my sister-in-law and niece good luck, a million profits! ”
Originally, he wanted to pinch the little girl's face and say things like "so beautiful" and "well-behaved", but he was afraid that he would be considered frivolous and suspected of harassment like later generations, so he only touched the little girl's head in a decent manner.
The mother and daughter took the "red envelope", and Widow Liu gently pinched it, with a smile on her face, and repeatedly excused herself.
"Your Highness, what's so embarrassing about this? That's too much! ”
I'm afraid that with 100 yuan, she won't be able to earn so much in a year.
"Lady, Ying'er, you just take it, anyway, he has a lot of money. If you don't take it, he will spend it on the women. ”
Xu Liang said with a straight face, and the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Official, don't talk about foreign things. Your Highness is so busy, it's not easy to come here, don't have a black face! ”
After Xu Liu finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Hong with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, then you speak, I'll go in first and get some side dishes for your brothers!"
Xu Liu left with his daughter Xizizi, and Zhao Hong looked at the back of the mother and daughter, who was serious and very familiar.
"Xu Liang, if you lose someone, be careful that I break your middle leg!"
"Mid-leg?"
Xu Liang and Tian Yi were both stunned, and then they both reacted.
"Don't worry. You think everyone is like you, rich and powerful, hugging left and right, seeing one and loving the other, I don't know what to say! ”
Xu Liang's simple and rude answer made Zhao Hong smile bitterly.
"Am I that bad? You think I don't want to find true love? ”
"True love? It's true love, it's really a love to see one! ”
Xu Liang said angrily, the smile on his face appeared, bright and real.
This feeling is familiar, and it makes him affectionate.
"What, I didn't invite you, didn't you invite me for a drink?"
Zhao Hong had a headache and embarrassment, and quickly diverted the topic.
Speaking of which, he is just a scapegoat, taking the blame for his predecessor.
"Sit down, it's not like there's no place for you. Well, don't be shabby here. The poor family's seclusion is like this, but it is not your national mansion. ”
Xu Liang's fair face was flushed, quite charming.
"I went to your house just now, and your father said that it should be here, and sure enough, it was."
After Zhao Hong finished speaking to Tian Yi, he turned his head and poured a full bowl of wine himself.
"In the past few years, life has been confused, and I haven't come over often, it's my fault. I punished myself with three bowls, which is considered to be the atonement for the sins of the two brothers. ”
Zhao Hong drank a bowl and was about to pour a second bowl, but was stopped by Tian Yi and Xu Liang.
"Forget it! Just come and go, what to pretend? ”
"Forget it, don't waste my wine! It is more difficult for you to admit your mistake than to kill you, which shows your sincerity. Forgive me! ”
Tian Yi shook his head secretly. Zhao Hong must have spent a lot of money to go to his house.
Xu Liang looked at Zhao Hong, with a slight surprise in his eyes.
Zhao Hong's donkey temper will also admit his mistakes, which is really unexpected.
In his and Tian Yi's impression, Zhao Hong did not admit his mistakes, and it was the first time he could speak soft words.
"Come on, come on, our three brothers get together and have a bowl!"
Tian Yi laughed and raised the wine bowl first.
"Come on, let's do it together!"
Zhao Hong and Xu Liang raised the wine bowl together, each smiling, and they both drank it all.
"Being able to get together on Chinese New Year's Eve is the most comfortable I have in recent years!"
Xu Liang put down the wine bowl, his eyes were dark, and a trace of blush appeared on his white face.
"Your Highness, Lin'an Mansion let us go, you went to be accommodating, right?"
Xu Liang poured the wine and raised the wine bowl again.
Although he is called a brother, Zhao Hong is already a prince and cannot be called at will.
Even though his parents didn't say it explicitly, he could guess it.
"I'm just saying something, it's not worth mentioning."
Zhao Hong did not deny it.
"Thank you for running up and down for me. I will definitely return your love in the future! ”
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
Tian Yi has a gentle personality, raised the wine bowl, and touched the two.
"You can call me Your Highness on the scene, but in private, I am still called a brother."
Zhao Hong and the two of them clinked bowls and quickly integrated into the atmosphere.
"Tian Yi's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Xu Liang, you too, finally lowered his arrogant head. In fact, it's okay to go with the flow, at least it's not so heartwarming. ”
In fact, he just talked casually, in fact, he basically didn't know what these two people were like before.
"Since you can't change it, you can only adapt. You become unrecognizable, and there is nothing you can change. ”
Xu Liang drank the wine and continued, obviously feeling it.
"Your Highness, it seems that you have followed your teacher Zhen Dexiu, learned a little fur, and know that patience has become gold."
"Unfortunately, it became too late. There are some things that still miss the opportunity. ”
Zhao Hong's heart touched, shook his head and sighed.
"Your Highness, you're right!"
Xu Liang looked at Zhao Hong, shook his head and sighed.
"You are just a prince, you haven't become a prince yet, and you haven't ascended the throne as an emperor, so why bother to provoke Shi Miyuan? It's not enough to have a bad relationship with Shi Miyuan, and it's also incompatible with Queen Yang. From the prince to the crown prince, it only took two years for Prince Jingxian to be born. You have been a prince for three years, and now that you are in your fourth year, you are very scary to think about it! ”
Sure enough, the master is in the folk, and Xu Liang can see it clearly than Zhao Hong.
"Xu Liang, what's the use of saying this? The matter has come to this point, and there is only one way to go head-on and fight. Although His Royal Highness is not the crown prince now, one day he is, and he will also ascend to the throne. ”
Tian Yi put down the wine bowl and said.
No matter how bold Shi Miyuan is, no matter how strong Empress Yang is, can she still let the prince be the prince and the prince be the emperor?
"Tian Yi, Shi Miyuan is ruthless, it's not that simple, be careful of this person. In case Shi Miyuan's dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
Xu Liang was obviously more worried.
Zhao Hong was about to speak, and Liu brought out a large pot of hot meat.
"Your Highness, you will use it."
Widow Liu, now Xu Liu, is very embarrassed.
"Sister-in-law, so much meat! It smells so good! ”
Zhao Hong quickly stood up and said in appreciation.
"Your Highness, if you like, eat more!"
Xu Liu's smile was bright, his eyebrows fluttered, and he excused himself to go in to eat.
"This meat is so fresh! Delicious! ”
Zhao Hong picked up a piece of hot meat and put it in his mouth, shaking his head again and again.
Compared with the water-injected meat and overnight meat in later generations, this newly slaughtered meat is indeed unusual.
"Didn't I just send you a basket? Why haven't you eaten it? ”
Tian Yihu asked suspiciously.
"Nope!"
Zhao Hong groaned slightly, and glared at his two guards fiercely.
"It must have been swallowed by the dogs! When I get back, I'm going to clean the portal! ”
Hu Datou and the two laughed, took the meat bowl, and stood in the courtyard to eat.
Tian Yi was stunned and smiled.
Clean up the portal? This Zhao Hong is much more humorous than before.
Zhao Hong was a little weak-hearted. He spends all day drinking, and many times he is out at ease, and the meat he sends, of course, no one cares about, and it must have been swallowed by his subordinates.
"I'll send you some more tomorrow!"
"It's good! I'm going to go to court tomorrow morning, you come over in the evening, I have some good wine, let's have a good drink then!" ”
Zhao Hong took the fragrant pork hind leg and gnawed it, and he didn't feel too greasy with his hands and mouth. That's the best way to enjoy good food.
"Seeing you eat like this, I really miss those windy days."
Xu Liang laughed softly, and then lowered his voice.
"Your Highness, Shi Miyuan's power is monstrous, and he must not be taken lightly. In my opinion, you have to work both internally and externally, both at the same time, to be able to pull back a game. ”
"How about a two-pronged approach, both inside and outside?"
Zhao Hong perked up and couldn't help but sit up straight.
It seems that when you are on the outside, there are always some people who understand.
"Inside, it is to befriend your father, the Song official family, and become the prince as soon as possible. No matter how powerful Shi Miyuan and Yang Guizhi are, they must give face to the emperor and the prince of the current dynasty. As for the outside, it is necessary to make good connections and coerce public opinion. As long as the momentum is bigger, even if Shi Miyuan is powerful, he will not dare to act rashly, which is not good for His Highness. ”
Prince? Embracing public opinion? Rally?
Zhao Hong looked at the thin Xu Liang in surprise and was shocked.
Buy a water army, buy traffic, create public opinion, and the wisdom of the old people must not be underestimated.
Zhao Hong raised the wine bowl and touched it with the two.
"Don't worry, I will definitely change my life and be a new person!"
I just don't know how long his "father" can survive and how long he will have time to fight back.
To put it mildly, if Zhao Kuo unfortunately dies tomorrow, he will probably have to accept the reality of being "deposed" and sit still.
"In my early years, I knew that the world was difficult, and the north of the Central Plains was like a mountain. The building boat crosses the snow melon island at night, and the iron horse is scattered in the autumn wind......"
Xu Liang, who didn't know how much he had drunk, suddenly stood up, his white face flushed, swaying, and seemed to be a little drunk.
"This kid, what's wrong?"
Zhao Hong asked curiously.
"After all these years, you still don't know him. Impassioned, worried about the country and the people, as soon as he drinks, he will dance the sword. ”
Tian Yi shook his head and picked up the bamboo chair.
"Let's go, sit aside, so as not to be injured by him, and pay for Lang Zhong yourself."
Zhao Hong shook his head, picked up a chair, and sat on the side of the corner with Tian Yi.
Isn't this drunken madness, how can it become worried about the country and the people?
"Tian Yi, have you practiced your Liuhe gun? Your dad doesn't seem to be practicing guns! ”
Among the three of them, Tian Yi is a master of martial arts and a master of spearmanship.
"I'm starting to practice. Did my father tell you that if you become the emperor, he will go to the forbidden army to be the head of the sect? ”
Tian Yi's words made Zhao Hong happy.
Tian Yi's father is confident.
However, Tian Yi's father was around forty years, and it was when he was in the prime of life, so it was appropriate to be the head of the forbidden army gun and stick teacher of the front division of the palace.
Looking at Xu Liang again, he had already taken out his sword and danced in the courtyard, his mouth was still impassioned, and he had words.
“…… It has been changed three times. Get up and walk around the stairs alone. People are quiet, and the moon is bright outside the curtain.
The white head is famous...... I want to put my heart into Yaoqin. Confidant ......"
Zhao Hong watched Xu Liangwu's fascination, and Xu Liu's mother and daughter cheered on the side, and their hearts were also emotional.
Some people, for a glass of wine, a few bushes of flowers, a lake of spring water, a few cranes, will be enthusiastic, want to go to the north of the country, the snow country is ashamed of the country, Lu Youxin abandons illness like this, and Xu Liang in front of him is the same.
It's a pity, it's a pity that I have a handful of sad tears! It's a pity that they are enthusiastic! It's a pity that they have no way to serve the country and are born in the wrong era!
