At this moment, hearing Jiang Xia mention bowing, Zhu Houzhao was suddenly excited.
Zhang Yong originally wanted to persuade Zhu Houzhao, but he had just opened his mouth, "Your Majesty, this ......" After saying these three words, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "What is this, immediately go to the people who are ready to worship all the things they need, there are all ......" Zhu Houzhao turned his head and asked Jiang Xia: "What do you need?"
As the head of a thousand gates, it is common to worship, so Jiangxia reads out the things to be used for worship like a few family treasures: "A pair of Guan Gong gods, three animal sacrifices, pork, fish, eggs, and a live rooster." A bowl of white wine, two copies of Jinlan spectrum and a pair of incense candles. ”
"Yes! That's it. Although Zhu Houzhao didn't know if he really needed these things, he intuitively told him that what Jiang Xia said was right, and Zhu Houzhao urged Zhang Yongdao: "Go quickly, go quickly, I'll wait here." ”
Just now, Zhu Houzhao was startled, he secretly glanced at Jiang Xia, and now Jiang Xia's face was not different, so he was relieved.
"Yes!" Zhang Yong replied and immediately ran out to prepare.
There were only two people left in the room, Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao looked at Jiang Xia and said: "My name is Zhu Shou, a native of Shuntianfu, born on the eighth day of September in the fourth year of Hongzhi, and I just turned twenty-one years old this year, how old are you?"
Jiang Xia smiled, "My name is Jiang Xia, a native of Suzhou, born on the tenth day of the fifth month of the second year of Hongzhi, and I am twenty-three years old this year, two years older than you." So from now on I'm the boss and you're the second. ”
"Second" Jiang Xia silently read this title in his heart, and looked at Zhu Houzhao's appearance, and suddenly couldn't help but want to laugh.
Zhu Houzhao was slightly stunned, pointed to his nose and said, "I'm the second?"
You're the second. You're younger than me, so you're naturally the second. Jiangxia said.
"No, I can't. Zhu Houzhao shook his head firmly, "I have always been the biggest one since I was a child, and no one has ever been older than me." So I can't be the second child, you should be the second child. After speaking, Zhu Houzhao took out a stack of Daming treasure banknotes from his arms and handed it to Jiang Xia: "As long as you promise to let me be the boss and you be the second, all this silver will be yours." ”
"Forget it! don't bow down!" Jiang Xia suddenly stood up from his seat, his face annoyed.
His fire not only startled Zhu Houzhao, but also Liu Jin and Kang Qingyan, who were hiding next door to the Peony Pavilion and eavesdropping. Kang Qingyan couldn't help but mutter: "This fool, what kind of temper does he have with the emperor, when he is the second child, he will be the second child, and there is so much silver to take." ”
Inside the Peony Pavilion, Jiang Xia flicked his sleeves, straightened his waist and said: "Zhu Shou, you insult me! Although I am poor, I am poor and have backbone." I thought you were a good person and had a relationship with me, so I offered to worship you, but now you insult me with money. Isn't it great to have silver? I think it's not a big deal, because I've always regarded money like dung. ”
"It's shameless. Hearing this, Kang Qingyan, who was eavesdropping next door, couldn't help muttering to himself. A man who would go to scold the old shrew for the sake of money actually said that he regarded money as dung, and said it so justifiably. Kang Qingyan couldn't help but think in his heart, how thick is this cheeky to be so strong?
"Alas, it's a pity" Liu Jin sighed slightly, "The young man is still too impulsive, how can the emperor be the pride of the sky, how can he be second, he has angered the emperor this time, and he sees that the wealth that is about to be obtained is gone." ”
Liu Jin has served Zhu Houzhao for many years, so he naturally understands Zhu Houzhao's temperament very well. But what he knows is Zhu Houzhao wearing an imperial robe, but he doesn't know Zhu Shou during the private visit of Weifu. In Zhu Houzhao's life, there is only one person who has scolded him, and that is his late father Zhu Youzhang. Now hearing Jiang Xia say this, Zhu Houzhao not only did not get angry, but felt a little fresh.
He reached out and pulled Jiang Xia's sleeve and said, "Jiang Jiangxia, I didn't mean to insult you with silver just now, I'm used to it, so I'm sorry"
Jiang Xia glanced back at Zhu Houzhao: "Are you really admitting your mistake?"
Zhu Houzhao was slightly stunned and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I really admit my mistake." ”
After hearing this, Jiang Xia nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, since you sincerely admit your mistakes, then I will forgive you." But I can make it clear, let's swear goodbye, this big brother should be me, if you are not convinced, you can draw a line, Wencai martial arts, let's choose one to compete, the one who loses is the second, and the one who wins is the boss. ”
"Good. Compare is compare. Zhu Houzhao responded with a mouthful, "I'll compare with you"
Compared with what stumped Zhu Houzhao, he knew that he couldn't compare to Jiang Xia, Jiang Xia's good handwriting and what kind of "long" couplet he actually made, at a glance, he knew that he was a learned person, at least more learned than himself. This is self-aware, and Zhu Houzhao still knows it.
Isn't it better than literary and martial arts? The dignified emperor fights and scuffles with others, and this is not appropriate to think about. After thinking for a while, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, I'll draw lots with you." Whoever catches the 'boss' is the boss, and whoever catches the 'second' is the second? ”
Jiang Xia thought about it and nodded, "Okay, it's up to you." ”
"Then you wait a minute, I'll let you do two lots. ”
After speaking, Zhu Houzhao went out.
Outside the door, Zhu Houzhao happened to meet Han Yu, and he stopped him: "Eh, stop." ”
Han Yu turned his head and saw that it was Zhu Houzhao, although he didn't know Zhu Houzhao's identity, but he knew Zhang Yong, who followed Zhu Houzhao. The person who can make Zhang Yong be careful, even if he is not the emperor, must be the emperor's nobles, so Han Yu nodded and said, "Good master." ”
Zhu Houzhao looked back, and saw that Jiang Xia was not looking at the door, so he immediately took out a Daming treasure banknote from his arms and handed it to Han Yudao: "You immediately go and prepare three lots for me, and there will be two 'second' and one 'boss' written on it." ”
"Second Boss?" Han Yu was a little confused.
Zhu Houzhao frowned and said slightly angrily: "Why are you still stunned?
"Oh, yes, yes" Han Yu was startled when he saw that Zhu Houzhao was a little angry, and he immediately ran to prepare a lot paper for Zhu Houzhao.
According to Zhu Houzhao's instructions, he wrote two "second children" and one "eldest boss". Although Han Yu didn't know words, these words were not difficult for him.
After writing it, Han Yu hurriedly ran back and handed the lot paper to Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Hou nodded with satisfaction after taking care of it, and then returned to the room.
In the room, Jiang Xia sat leisurely on the stool and poured himself a cup of tea. Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "For the sake of fairness, I specially asked the people of your Qunfang Pavilion to write these two lots. You see, one boss, one second. ”
Jiang Xia glanced at it and nodded, "Although the writing is a little ugly, it can barely be recognized." Well, now that you're all set, let's get started. ”
"Good. Zhu Houzhao carefully folded the lots, and tried to fold them into the same as much as possible. The afterglow of his eyes secretly looked at Jiang Xia, and when Jiang Xia was not paying attention, he took out the lot paper with "second child" written on it hidden in his sleeve, and changed the lot paper with "boss" written on it into his sleeve.
Zhu Houzhao's strategy is very simple, as soon as he changes it like this, then the two lots will become the "second child". At the same time, no matter which one Jiang Xia draws, it will definitely be the "second child", and after he draws one casually, he can take out the "boss" in his sleeve and replace the "second one", so he is the "boss" anyway.
The corners of Zhu Houzhao's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, he himself felt that he was too smart.
After the two lots were put away, Zhu Houzhao asked Jiang Xia: "How is it? Will you draw first or will I draw first?" In order to show fairness, I still let you draw first, right?"
Jiang Xia looked at Zhu Houzhao, and he said with some suspicion: "Why do I feel a little wrong? Why are you smiling so treacherously? As if you have won this game, is there a ghost in Lotus? If I don't believe it, I have to open it and check it." ”
Saying that, Jiang Xia reached out to take the lot, Zhu Houzhao immediately grabbed Jiang Xia's hand and said nervously: "What the hell is there? Didn't I check it for you just now? Why? You don't believe me?"
Jiang Xia looked at Zhu Houzhao for a while, then nodded and withdrew his hand and said, "That's right, since you are going to become brothers with different surnames, you should trust each other, I believe in you." ”
"Whew" Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Xia said: "Then I chose." ”
"Hmm. Zhu Houzhao nodded, "You choose." ”
Jiang Xia smiled slightly, and he took out a lot text from the two lots. When Zhu Houzhao was about to reach out to get the rest of the lot, Jiang Xia grabbed his hand and said, "No need to take it, I know I've already won." I can guarantee that the one I hold in my hand must be the 'boss'. ”
After speaking, Jiang Xia didn't read the lot, so he directly put the lotlot paper in his mouth and chewed it twice and swallowed it into his stomach. Then he opened the remaining lots and said, "What I ate is the 'boss', then this one must be the 'second'." ”
Jiang Xia opened the lot paper and looked at it, and sure enough, the words 'second' were written on it.
Jiang Xia pushed the lot paper in front of Zhu Houzhao and said with a smile: "What? Hahaha"
Zhu Houzhao looked at the lot paper in front of him that said "second", and in his life, he finally understood what it meant to play cards without following the routine. Originally, he had already won, but he was unexpectedly reversed by Jiang Xia like this.
Jiang Xia looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "What's the matter? ”
Zhu Houzhao looked at Jiang Xia and was silent for about two or three seconds, and finally nodded and shouted, "Big brother." ”
"Hahahaha...... Jiang Xia laughed heartily, he patted Zhu Houzhao's shoulder and said, "Okay, then you will be my second child from now on." ”
After speaking, Jiang Xia looked at his crotch, and three words inexplicably rose in his heart: two second?
