Chu Jinglian looked Zhou Zijian up and down, and after a while, he gently closed the folding fan in his hand and said, "Since Brother Zhou is so interested in Zaixia, then Zaixia will tell him bluntly." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIt's rare for you to meet today, so I hope you don't hide anything. Then I'll get to know you again. Our man Chu Jinglian is a native of Yangzhou. He lives ten miles west of the city. On weekdays, I do some business. The deal is not big or small, and it is quite solid. My parents died young, and I was the only one in the family. If you don't dislike it, you are welcome to visit our house at any time. As for this Jade Phoenix Terrace, it is also one of my businesses. ”

After speaking, Chu Jinglian looked at Zhou Zijian.

Zhou Zijian nodded and said, "No wonder Brother Chu looks very noble, and he is so easy to enter and exit this Jade Phoenix Terrace." It turned out that Brother Chu was a wealthy man. In the next week, Zijian, who had no father or mother since he was a child, was adopted by his teacher under the Kongtong faction. Half a year ago, I went down the mountain and traveled around, and now I am here. It's a shame to say that it is too embarrassing for me to be mixed up to the level of me. ”

No one in the house answered.

Chu Jinglian looked at Shangguan Yunying again.

Shangguan Yunying understood, and said loudly: "In Xiaguan Yunying, a native of Dinghai, Zhejiang, is now ranked second in the family, and it is the first time to travel here. ”

Seeing Chu Jinglian's eyes fall on him, Zhuge Qinglin also said lightly: "In Xia Zhuge Qinglin, a native of Guangyuan, Sichuan, his parents are still safe, and he is the second in the family, and it is also the first time to travel here. ”

Chu Jinglian looked at Zhuge Yue and Shangguan Ying.

Shangguan Ying asked, "Do I want to say it too?"

Chu Jinglian said: "I heard that this little brother claimed to be the son of Shangguan Xian's brother. But I wonder if there are any other people in my brother's family?"

Shangguan Ying said: "My parents died when I was a child, and it was my young master who took me in and became a scholar beside him. ”

Shangguan Ying saw that Zhuge Yue finished speaking, and then said: "In Xia, Shangguan Ying is the scholar of the second young master of my family. ”

Chu Jinglian just looked at Zhuge Yue.

Zhuge Yue immediately said: "In Xia Zhuge Yue, it is the companion of my young lady. I haven't seen my parents since I was a child, and it was the young lady who took me in. ”

Shangguan Ying looked at Zhuge Yue in front of him, and his eyes showed a look of sympathy.

Chu Jinglian nodded and said, "I think that under the prosperous era of the Qing Dynasty, there are still so many hard-working people. After speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yushan.

Zhao Yushan pursed his lips and smiled: "Do you even want me to say it?" ”

Chu Jinglian nodded and said, "I said just now that everyone here is my friend, but it's okay to say it. ”

Zhao Yushan's eyes flashed, and he said: "In Zhao Yushan, his parents died early and were taken in by a kind mother-in-law. Now living in this Jade Phoenix Terrace. I am a woman in a green house, and I hope you don't dislike it. ”

Zhou Zijian smiled: "Where did the girl come from." The girl's bearing is not bad, the piano skills are extraordinary, how many men want to see the girl's face but can't get it. The girl must not say such a thing as a self-obscurity. ”

Zhao Yushan heard Zhou Zijian's words, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said: "In terms of temperament and piano skills, I'm afraid that I am worse than Sister Zhuge and have a world." There are many people who want to take advantage of me, but there are a few people who really respect me. ”

Zhuge Qinglin said lightly: "My sister is too famous. In terms of temperament and piano skills, my sister is worse than me. It's just that there are many masters and scholars in this world, and calligraphy, literature, piano and chess, astronomy, and geology can be said to be good. There are mountains outside the mountains, so why bother deliberately comparing with others to increase your troubles. ”

Zhao Yushan listened to Zhuge Qinglin's words, and sighed even more: This Zhuge girl looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she seemed to see through all kinds of situations in life, and she bluntly said her thoughts, and her face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

Zhao Yushan thought so in his heart, but said in his mouth: "My sister is very right. has been in the dust for a long time, accustomed to flattery, and has seen all the deceit, it is inevitable to rush for quick success. is not like a sister, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and the life is quiet and indisputable. ”

Chu Jinglian waved his hand and said, "Don't be too humble. By the way, Brother Shangguan Xian, I don't know if you are famous now. ”

Shangguan Yunying said: "Don't hide it from Brother Chu, I just passed the township test in Xia." In the spring of the following year, according to my father's order, I was able to go to the capital to participate in the examination. If I am fortunate enough to be selected, I hope to make an inch of contribution to the country, and I also have my father's wish. Seeing that Brother Chu is suave and suave, he is a talent, why don't he become officials?"

Chu Jinglian smiled slightly and said, "Brother Shangguan Xian is erudite and talented, and he will definitely be able to enter the Jinbang High School." I am a businessman, mediocre, I can't read big books, and I don't have the ambition to serve the country, and the most important thing is that I can't be restrained. To be able to do some business to support myself is a wish. I often travel from south to north, but I am also happy and happy. ”

At this time, the sound of beating the watch sounded on the street, and it was past the second watch.

Zhuge Qinglin lightly raised his cloud sleeves and gave a salute, and said: "Thank you Chu Yuanwai and Sister Zhao for their hospitality and gift of the piano, which is unforgettable." It's not early today, so don't leave it at that. After speaking, he slowly got up.

Shangguan Yunying also stood up, bowed, and said, "I am grateful to Brother Chu and Miss Zhao for their gift today. Every year and every day, if we meet again, we must thank you again. Leave. ”

Chu Jinglian nodded, and said with a gloomy face: "Yes." It's getting late. Then Chu will not leave you. ”

Zhou Zijian also clenched his fists and stood up.

Zhao Yushan got up and sent everyone to the door of the stairs, and then stopped going downstairs.

Chu Jinglian was sent all the way to the door of the Jade Phoenix Terrace.

The crowd said goodbye again.

Chu Jinglian saw that the group had gone away, and then returned to the small building just now.

Chu Jinglian motioned for the attendant to retreat and came to Zhao Yushan.

Zhao Yushan poured Chu Jinglian a glass of wine, and Chu Jinglian drank it all.

Zhao Yushan opened his mouth and said, "I know what you want to say when you come back. It's true that I didn't think it well and acted a little recklessly today, but you don't have to blame me too much, it won't happen again in the future. ”

Chu Jinglian's face was slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "I won't worry about today's affairs. Although Zhou Zijian's martial arts are mediocre, he is thoughtful, and I underestimate him. In addition, although Shangguan Yunying and Zhuge Qinglin's speech and demeanor were elegant and dignified, these two people were scheming and hidden, which made me always feel a little uneasy. You find someone to check secretly, don't let people show their feet. I don't want to make a fuss out of it at the moment. ”

Zhao Yushan nodded and said, "I'll write it down." ”

Chu Jinglian looked at the sky outside the window and said, "It's getting late tonight, so you should rest early." With that, he turned and went downstairs.

Chu Jinglian walked to the staircase, suddenly remembered something, and said while going downstairs: "By the way, it's not peaceful outside recently, so it's better to go out and walk around less." ”
