On the second day of April, the folding flower meeting officially opened.

Rong Tang only drank half a bowl of soup at the banquet the night before, and after returning to the small courtyard, Su Huaijing borrowed the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles for him, and the two sat in the attic to eat supper and play chess, blowing the breeze for half the night, and waiting for Ke Hongxue and Mu Jingxu to come back.

The team is still the same as in the previous life, but with the addition of Su Huaijing.

Rong Tang was eating supper at that time, lying on the railing looking at the lake and flowers under the night sky of the garden, when he heard Su Huaijing make a request to them, his mind was a little paused, and he couldn't help laughing.

Su Huaijing couldn't say that they forced Rong Tang to be present at all times, and Rong Tang suddenly thought of the time when he was in college and was divided into groups at the end of the semester.

It's just that his roommate rubbed his score before, and it's rare that he can rub other people's points, and the configuration is still the villain, the male protagonist, and the male protagonist's think tank, Rong Tang is happy and very happy.

As the late spring warmed up, his body was rarely warmer, and when he saw the four of them getting together, he was a little moved and wanted to play four-person poker.

But as soon as Rong Tang's eyes rolled, Su Huaijing seemed to know what he was thinking, and drove the person back to the room to sleep on the grounds that the night breeze was colder and colder.

Shuangfu Shuangshou has already rested, Rong Tangyuan also wanted to sleep directly, but Su Huaijing magically brought him a bucket of hot water in, poured it into the foot soaking bucket, and let him carefully soak his feet to evacuate the tendons, and make his whole body warm before he was allowed to go to bed.

From Yong'an Lane to Tanghua Courtyard, and then to Songyuan, Rong Tang developed a habit and listened to Su Huaijing's words. Especially tonight, the villain is obviously not in the right mood, so even though Rong Tang feels a little embarrassed, he still soaks his feet. Su Huaijing didn't allow him to go out to blow the wind again, so he took out the barrel and basin, and before leaving, he tucked the quilt for him, his eyes drooped, and he was very serious in his words: "Tang Tang, I promise to let you be friends with them, but you can't be unhappy."

Rong Tang blinked, stunned for a second, suddenly reacted, some light emotions came to his heart, and he smiled: "Thank you."

It was just a guess, but now that the answer has been obtained, Su Huaijing did refuse Ke Hongxue's invitation because of Rong Tang's instinctive reaction at that moment.

This matter is actually unreasonable from beginning to end.

Just like Rong Tang thought that his attitude towards Sheng Chengli should be just pure disgust and indifference, but when he heard that he was in Songyuan and might team up with him, the first perception that flashed in his mind was still the coldness and severe pain of betrayal when the sword was stabbed into the chest in his previous life.

Blood flows out of the body, and the flesh and body lose temperature a little, which is more than 100 times more painful than being poisoned by poison or falling to death all at once. Sometimes the physical reaction is difficult to control, and Rong Tang also feels irritable.

But Su Huaijing noticed it, and because he changed his decision, Rong Tang was happy.

He smiled so hard that his eyes were crooked, and he said very seriously, "I'm very happy." Su Huaijing looked at him for a while, as if to explore the truth of his words, and after a while, he said, "Good night." Rong Tang replied with a smile: "Good night."

Su Huaijing left.

The next day was a good day, and in the early morning, there were birds and birds stopping on the flowers that could be seen everywhere in Songyuan, and the chirping was very lively. The courtyard they chose was far away from the center, and the voices were not noisy, Rong Tang opened his eyes, listened to the sound of walking and birds in the yard for a while, and then got up slowly.

During the period when he was just reborn, his physical fitness was too poor, and he was too tired to take a breath and walk two steps, so Shuangfu stayed in his room day and night waiting for the master to dress and eat, but after Rong Tang was a little better, he canceled the rules of the servants' vigil, and after Su Huaijing entered the house, he also snatched the work of serving Rong Tang to wash in the morning, so that Shuangfu was very afraid that he would be fired for a while.

Rong Tang thought of this a little funny, while slowly getting dressed while chatting with the system, as usual cordial and friendly exchanges, until the door was knocked on, Su Huaijing walked in, saw that he had gotten out of bed and was slightly stunned, and immediately laughed: "Why did Tang Tang get up so early today?"

"Maybe it's because of the good weather." Rong Tang smiled, fastened the last belt, and wanted to go to the yard to wash.

Su Huaijing's eyes stopped at his waist, which was tied by the belt, which looked even thinner and almost broken, silently turned around and took out a navy blue cloak from the closet, and quietly walked behind Rong Tang and tied it for him: "It's too early, be careful of the wind."

Rong Tang raised his head and let him tie a knot in front of his neck, his dark eyelashes flashed, reflecting the morning sun, and the agility of the wild beasts in the jungle slipped out again, Su Huaijing was distracted for a while, and did not move.

Rong Tang waited again, blinked his eyes, and reminded softly: "Huaijing?"

Su Huaijing came back to his senses at this time, let go of his hand and took a step back, and said with a smile: "The main courtyard has prepared breakfast, but I thought you might not like to eat with those people, so I asked Shuangshou to get some meals and come back to warm them, where do you want to eat?"

Rong Tang didn't think about it: "Let's go to the attic."

"Okay." Su Huaijing nodded, "Then I'll go up and wait for you first." "Hmm." Rong Tang answered and walked towards the water room.

He slept very well this night, and his energy was much better than before, and when he finished washing up and walked up the wooden steps of the attic, he only felt that the air was fresher.

The early morning Songyuan is different from dusk or night, the morning light is faint, everywhere is covered with a layer of soft filters, the dew presses on the flowers and leaves, and then falls down with a pop, and the blooming flowers suddenly stand up triumphantly and spread out against the wind.

is a particularly beautiful picture, Rong Tang is a little itchy when he looks at it.

He wanted to buy things for Su Huaijing again.

The princess didn't allow Rong Tang to give her Zhuangzi to Su Huaijing, so there should be no problem for him to buy one for the cub, right?

It is unlikely that it will be of this size, but if you want to find a smaller manor in a beautiful place to take care of it, you can also use it as a place to spend the summer in the future.

Rong Tang couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, Su Huaijing saw his appearance and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Rong Tang grabbed a crystal bag in his hand and said with a smile: "Secret."

Su Huaijing: "?"

He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't pursue it, smiled silently, and habitually poured a cup of tea for Rong Tang and put it next to him to prevent him from choking.

was having breakfast, a group of people came to the gate of the courtyard, Rong Tang sat in the attic and looked down, and saw Ke Hongxue who had changed into a set of red Shu Jinchun clothes at a glance, and even the fan was replaced by a chicken blood red jade fan, which was shaking slowly, and the whole person was like a big cockscomb flower.

Rong Tang's eyelids jumped, and he complained to the system: "The Ke family will be defeated by him sooner or later." The system asks disapprovingly: "Host, do you really think so? Rong Tang didn't say anything for a moment, and took another bite of the crystal bag angrily. He's not, he's not.

He just can't get used to it.

The Ke family has produced great Confucian scholars for generations, and their family is flat and high-spirited.

But Ke Hongxue's father is a very different person, Shinong, businessman, and businessman, and the general concept of the world is that everything is inferior, but in the era when reading is high, Ke Hongxue and his father are full of thoughts: make money, make money, make money!

At a young age, he dared to skip the caravan to follow the goods, and bought a bunch of sachets and rouge from Beijing to sell them to Northern Xinjiang, and then brought a cart of jewelry back from Northern Xinjiang and sent them to the auction house to sell.

When he met someone who couldn't be sold, he was not hypocritical at all, either writing poems by himself, or going to the school to shout in the name of his father, begging his classmates or Mr. to write the first words for him. Then spread to the streets and alleys of the capital, and the jewels that he brought back were blown into treasures that were not in the sky and the earth, and they were sold at a good price, and they made a lot of money.

Ke Wenrui's generation of Confucianism often makes him so angry that he wants to clean up the portal.

Or did he come to visit the teacher on the Emperor's New Year's Day again, and after seeing a farce of chickens flying and dogs jumping, he laughed heartily, and persuaded Ke Wenrui: "Why is Taifu so angry? If you let him break through, you can rest assured if you break into some famous places, otherwise the rewards in the palace will come and you will retreat, and the students really can't bear to see the teacher so hard. “

Ke Xuebo was very bold, so he hid behind the emperor and poked his head out, grimaced at his father, and said in a loud voice: "That's it!"

The first emperor was angry and amused, and when he turned around, he picked up his hand and greeted him on the head lightly, and instructed the chief eunuch: "Go to my private treasury and allocate some silver taels to lend to Xuebo." “

He turned to Ke Xuebo again: "If you can double it after three years, I will make the decision and allow you to engage in business; If you can't, you just listen to the teacher, go to school, and take the top exam to worry about me! Got it?"

The saint ordered, and Ke Wenrui could only respond no matter how unwilling he was. Moreover, he also knew that his son was indeed not the material for studying, and the reason why he was so angry was that the family had never been a businessman since ancient times, and secondly, he was worried that this matter would cause displeasure to the Son of Heaven.

The son of Taifu is in business? Something unheard of! Something that goes against our ancestors! will be attacked by the ministers, and after death, you will poke your backbone!

But Emperor Chrysostom agreed, Ke Wenrui let go of that breath, waiting for Ke Xuebo to make a name for himself three years later, secretly looking forward to him coming back to study.

Then Ke Xuebo came back as the richest man in Jiangnan, not only doubled the money lent to him by the first emperor, but also donated a lot of silver taels to the treasury, and the taxes paid alone were enough to feed the people of a county. The saint Longyan Dayue praised Ke Xuebo as a good man with courage and deeds

Jia, allowing his heirs not to obey the law that "only three generations of merchants can take the imperial examination".

In the final analysis, I am afraid that because of this incident, my teachers will worry that their grandchildren will not be able to study normally and become officials in the court, so I will feed a reassuring pill in advance.

The Ke family is in the hands of Ke Xuebo, and the money is outrageous, even if Ke Hongxue tosses a jade folding fan a day, it is estimated that it is enough for him to waste a few lifetimes.

Even because Ke Xuebo was rich and patriotic, he took the initiative to donate hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the treasury every year, and it has not changed from the lifetime of the first emperor to the accession of Emperor Renshou to the throne. Therefore, even if Ke Wenrui was the first emperor's teacher, Emperor Renshou not only did not implicate the Ke family because of this, but took special care of Ke Hongxue.

——A gentleman when he was young, a rich man who contributes to the treasury every year, and a Tanhualang who is talented but only thinks about spending time and drinking chic and happy without asking about the government, it is difficult for Emperor Renshou to be afraid of targeting them.

To a certain extent, he still has to coax the Ke family to get himself a reputation of respecting teachers, valuing merchants, and treating everyone equally, and filling the treasury from time to time.

Ke Hongxue is clearly not the prince and grandson, but in this Yujing City, he lives a much more chic and wanton life than most of the children of the family. In Rong Tang's eyes, he is a walking money-burning stove.

He is so capable of making it, he can make it better than him.

As soon as Ke Hongxue raised his eyes and saw the two people sitting in the red paint attic with breakfast, he smiled suddenly, folded the fan in a smile, and turned his head to pull Mu Jingxu to go up. was thrown off his sleeves by Mu Jingxu, he was not annoyed, he was accustomed to turning around and grinning at Mu Shaoqing, and walked up quickly.

"It's still a blessing for the prince to bring back the meal without leaving the hospital, and he also sent it to the attic to eat while enjoying the scenery." Rong Tang raised his eyes: "What, are you envious?"

Ke Hongxue was stunned for a moment, her smile became even more presumptuous, she pulled a chair and sat down, folding her fan and shaking it slowly: "Master Rong Shi, are you Qin Pengxuan's stupid fool for me?"

The scene where Rong Tang scolded Qin Pengxuan last night, Ke Hongxue could see it clearly, originally he was so smiling that his eyes were almost gone, if it weren't for accompanying Mu Jingxu and waiting for his trembling little apprentice who was recovering from a serious illness, Ke Hongxue really couldn't help but run to Rong Tang's table at that time.

Rong Tang didn't respond anymore when he heard this.

For Ke Hongxue and Mu Jingxu, his feelings have always been very complicated. At first, I thought this was a colleague, but then I thought that in this completely unfamiliar dynasty, wouldn't it be beautiful if I could make like-minded friends?

He didn't dare to say if Rong Tang and Mu Jingxu had made friends, after all, Master Mu was like snow that never melted all year round, and Rong Tang couldn't guess his thoughts, but he and Ke Hongxue were friends at least in the first two lives.

- the one who lost his friend.

Today I will take you to the gambling house, tomorrow you will take me to visit the flower building, the day after tomorrow the two of them were visited by Weifu privately Dali Temple Shaoqing one person one eye was so cold that he didn't dare to move, obediently went back to assist Sheng Chengli for a period of time.

Then you couldn't stay idle, you said that there was a new famous troupe in the south of the Yangtze River in Beijing, and I said that the burning knives sent by the north were really unique

Rong Tang had few moments in his first two lives that could be called a pastime and relaxation, and most of them were mixed with Ke Hongxue. Fox friends should be talking about the two of them.

So when he came back in this life, it was difficult for Rong Tang to have a particularly strong sense of vigilance against them.

He didn't want to fight anymore, he clearly knew which day he would be reborn and which day he would die, and he clearly felt that his vitality was losing from his body day by day, and he didn't have so much heart to play tricks at all. He just wanted to enjoy the fun he missed a few years ago, reading the script, listening to small songs, tossing and gardening, copying Buddhist scriptures when he was really guilty, and then giving Su Huaijing some reminders on some major events he remembered.

The other Rong Tang didn't want to waste their brains at all.

When he scolded Qin Pengxuan and Rong Zheng, he was very easy, and he scolded when he thought of it, because they were both stupid. But Ke Hongxue ....... After saying a few words, Rong Tang was really tired.

There are eighteen turns in one sentence, seventeen have pits in front, and the last one is looking for scolding.

Rong Tang decided to ignore him, anyway, Mu Jingxu was about to come up, and Young Master Ke would wander for a while.

When Mu Jingxu came up, he was followed by a person, about sixteen or seventeen years old, still very young, wearing a cyan bachelor's gown with a hat on his head, and a very traditional and elegant student dress.

Ke Hongxue was gossiping with Rong Tang just now, but at this time, she couldn't be idle, half of her body leaned over, looked the young man up and down a few times, turned around and said casually to Rong Tang: "Tut-tut, Shiziye, look at me, a junior brother, does he look like an old pedant who has been half-cut into the ground?"

If this word spreads, they will be killed.

Whether it is the young master of Guozijian who said that a young man was half-cut into the ground, or the grandson of the great Confucian Ke Wenrui said that the old scholar was half-cut into the ground, Ke Hongxue deserved a whip.

Rong Tang took half a sip of tea, turned his head, and said lightly: "I haven't been to school, so I don't know what the old pedant looks like. But you stay away from me, you look like a fighting, and my eyes hurt. “

Su Huaijing was originally a little irritable because Ke Hongxue was too close to Rong Tang, but when he heard his little Bodhisattva say this, he couldn't help but smile, and silently got up and put away the finished dinner plate and put it aside and waited for the little guy to come up and clean it up.

Ke Hongxue has been held by people for so much, it is rare to see a person who scolds himself every time he meets, he does not feel annoyed at all magically, but stares at Rong Tang with interest for a while, and really leaves a little according to his words.

Mu Jingxu didn't have the habit of saying hello, and a few people looked at each other and staggered to see each other, so only the young man was left here who hadn't introduced himself.

Rong Tang took a sip of tea, stood up to consume food, and listened to him: "The prince is auspicious, the student is from the capital, and the student of Linyuan Academy in the eighth year of Qingzheng, Lu Jiaxi."

Rong Tang knew his name and surname, and he had also seen him. It's just that Mu Jingxu was responsible for writing poems at the flower folding meeting in the first two lives, and Rong Tang and Ke Hongxue took advantage of their identities to brush their faces everywhere, so he didn't have much friendship with Lu Jiaxi, just as he was an ordinary student who came to score points.

At this time, he suddenly thought of something and asked: "Does Chengxi Lu's Bookstore have anything to do with you?"

r /> Lu Jiaxi raised his head in confusion and replied in a proper manner: "It is the student's ancestor who has inherited the foundation."

Rong Tang frowned, glanced at Su Huaijing, who was pouring tea for him, and raised his eyebrows when he saw him looking over, what does it mean?

Rong Tang felt that the association that came out of him just now was very inexplicable, and he didn't want to be entangled anymore, but he heard Ke Hongxue say: "Don't look at me, a junior brother, who is young and small, and he is so bold! You know in Jingzhao Yin Mansion, where civilians are going to be beaten three boards, he dared to beat the drum of injustice for a girl who met in Pingshui, and he really succeeded in suing people. “

"Who does the prince know?" Ke Hongxue asked.

Rong Tang's inner guess came true, but he still pretended not to know and asked: "...... Who?"

"It was Ding Laibao, the only son of Ding Weishan, the general of Jin Wuwei's Zuo Xiaowei, who was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, but a few days ago, somehow, the saint was furious, and on the twenty-second day of March, he ordered people to be pushed out of the noon gate and beheaded." Ke Hongxue smiled leisurely, the fan shook slightly, and she couldn't tell whether her eyes fell on Lu Jiaxi or glanced at Su Huaijing casually, and laughed slowly: "Isn't it interesting to say this?"

Rong Tang didn't bother to say a word.

Definitely.

It's really interesting-

These days, I occasionally go out of the house, and I see a few new books of Jiangnan fashionable books in the Lu's bookstore in the west of the city, thinking that you like to read them, so I bought them back and put them in the study waiting for you to read them.

You're really quite occasional. Rong Tang lowered his eyes and quietly drank another half cup of tea.
