As soon as the day reached noon, the temperature gradually rose and the wind was hot.
Before the three of them could reach Xinghua Tower, a friend had already greeted her outside.
Xu Pei and Yang Ruo are regular visitors here, and they are all familiar with each other.
After entering the private room, all the tea has been prepared.
Yang Ruo asked his friend to bring desserts such as crabapple cake, bean paste paste, fruit, butterfly rolls and other snacks.
Xu Pei said "tsk" and said, "It's all sweet... you are not afraid of choking."
Yang Ruo picked up the fruit and took a bite, "I just like this one."
Smile freely.
Zhang Juling coughed lightly and filled himself with cup of tea.
The Xinghualou manager came in to pay his respects to Xu Pei, "Little Marquis, we have newly added the pear blossom wine you like to drink, and we also specially equipped with a jade cup... Do you think you want to put two pots?"
Xu Pei nodded and ordered the manager to do so: "Didn't your store raise hairy crabs by yourself?
Steamed in a basket and sent it over.
Add more ginger slices.”
The person in charge should have gone down very respectfully.
After a while, several guys came in with red paint trays and placed chopsticks and cloth bowls in turn.
The food and drinks came up, and the three of them ate and chatted.
"Shuzhi, will you go back home directly later?"
Yang Ruo was tearing the legs of hairy crabs.
Every hairy crab has a big fist, the crab meat is snow-white, and the orange crab roe is very plump.
Makes your index fingers tremble.
Zhang Juling said "Yes" and said, "I'm going to school in the afternoon to listen to Mr. Song's lecture."
"Songliao is right?"
Xu Pei interrupted, "When he was working as an assistant teacher in the Imperial College, I heard of it. He was very responsible and had a bad temper.
He often scolds the students."
He took a sip of wine and refused to agree, "His he actually been invited by Shangshu Gu?"
Zhang Juling nodded, "Mainly teaches the Gu grandchildren."
Xu Pei smiled and said, "The Gu family is very famous in Kyoto. Mr. Zhang can study there, and his future is unlimited."
"Shangshu Gu is his mentor."
Yang Ruo explained Zhang Juling, and his peach blossom eyes narrowed: "When it comes to Songliao, I have been scolded by him."
Xu Pei shook his head and looked out the window.
He didn't expect that Zhang Juling and Gu Lin had this relationship... He thought he was just an ordinary scholar, and at most he had his knowledge exaggerated by the world.
In addition to his father's instructions, his interactions with Yang Ruo also have his own ambitions.
It is true that Yang Ruo has talent, but it is the best to be used by him.
The saying that there is no Hanlin and no cabinet is just empty talk for him.
Who said that scholars should be controlled by the court? How can you know there are other possibilities if you don’t try it?
"I've been scolded, too."
After a while, Zhang Juling also said.
"Hahaha……"
Yang Ruo couldn't help laughing and got up and poured wine for Zhang Juling, "...After eating, I'll go to the Gu family with you."
"What are you doing?"
Xu Pei asked in confusion, "Do you want to study with me?"
“…visiting relatives.”
Yang Ruo hummed, not willing to be outdone, "I miss my sister."
Xu Pei almost spit out a sip of wine. He was just a villain. He was just a fool... He was just a nonsense when he heard it.
"What, no?"
Xu Pei took out the handkerchief on the cuff and wiped his mouth, and smiled and said, "Just say yes."
He didn't want to argue with Yang Ruo, but it was someone else's private affairs...
After drinking and eating, it was over.
Zhang Juling and Yang Ruo went downstairs together and walked towards the carriage.
Xu Pei stood at the window, looking at the backs of the two of them, with no expression on his face.
I don’t know if it was his illusion, but Yang Ruo is not as close to him as before.
Shuming was chatting with Yang Ruo's servant. When he saw Zhang Juling coming out of the restaurant, he hurriedly took two steps, "San Young Master, are we going back?"
"Wait a moment."
Zhang Juling turned around and said to Yang Ruo: "...I have some things to look for Zhang Juning. If you are anxious, you can go to the Gu family first."
"You're busy with yours."
Yang Ruo picked up the curtain and got on his own carriage, "I'm not in a hurry."
Zhang Juling told Shuming not to follow him, and went to Chuntang alone.
There were not many guests at this time, and a few sat in the lobby in scattered places.
Zhang Juning did not shy away and discussed with the shopkeeper at the counter about entering the tea industry.
"...I just checked the inventory. There are not many remaining Dongting Bisnails. If you find some people to go to Taihu Lake in Suzhou, you must remember to get spring tea this year..."
The shopkeeper agreed, and just as he was about to speak, he looked up but saw Zhang Juling and bowed: "Three Young Master."
He went to Zhang's house to pay the bill at the end of the year, so he naturally knew him.
Zhang Juning was stunned and then smiled and said, "The third brother is here, please come inside."
Zhang Juling's return surprised him. Didn't he go to drink with the little marquis and the others?
"Brother, you are polite. I have a few words that I want you to send to my father.
You leave after you say that, there is no need to worry.”
Zhang Juling stood by the counter.
Zhang Juning waved his hand and asked the shopkeeper to go down first, "You said."
"Tell my father that he would go to Gu's house to find me in three days... By the way, let Chen Ming follow me."
Zhang Juning was stunned and mocked: "Let your father go to find you in person?"
Third brother, you have such a big face.”
He looked down on Zhang Juling from the bottom of his heart, such as Jingzhou prodigy, and he still didn't even pass the exam for a juren.
It was just born by a concubine, and I couldn't tell the difference between the pounds I had.
Zhang Juling smiled: "Brother, it doesn't matter if you have a big face and a small face... Just tell me it to your father.
If your father comes or not, you don’t have to worry about it.”
Xiuzhi's face was tense, and she turned around and left.
"..." Zhang Juning was so angry that she couldn't speak, and she dared to assign him.
Little bastard, I'm waiting for you to return to the Zhang family.
Liuxiang Hutong is not far from Gu's house, and it will be half an hour.
Zhang Juling and Yang Ruol got off the carriage one after another.
After arriving at Dongfeng Pavilion, the two people separated.
Yang Ruo went to see his concubine Yang Zhen, and met Gu Xia on the way.
The little girl was holding a butterfly net in her hand and was protected by a group of women catching butterflies. She ran away with sweat, "Sister Xia, come here."
"uncle."
Gu Xia was wearing a big red crabapple shirt and combed her two buns.
He jumped happily into Yang Ruo's arms.
Yang Ruo took out a veil, wiped her sweat, and asked, "Where is your mother?"
"It's like doing needlework and threading in the house."
Gu Han had just come out of his mother's Jinxiu Garden and passed by a Jasmine Garden. He saw Yang Ruo holding his sister ten and heading towards the third aunt's Liushuixuan from afar.
"Miss, do you want to take a break?"
Qiaozhen asked in a low voice when she saw that she was not leaving.
Gu Han waved his hand and signaled no, "...Let's go back."
The master and servant slowly walked away as they talked.
As soon as she arrived at Lingboyuan, Taohong came over and attached it to her ear: "Young Master Zhang sent me a message and said that the pills had a result. I want to meet you."
Gu Han was stunned.
So fast.
She calmed down and said to Taohong: "You ask Young Master Zhang to go to the pavilion in the Hetang."
It was quiet and next to the Hanghuamen, so few female relatives in the mansion came over.
Taohong bent down and turned around and left.
Gu Han and Qiaozhen also went to the Hetang together. When they arrived, Zhang Juling was looking at the surrounding scenery in the pavilion with his hands behind his back.
The breeze blew, and the water surface was clear.
“…… Mr. Zhang.”
Gu Han shouted.
Qiaozhen retreated from the Quqiao with a wink.
Zhang Juling didn't speak, and after a while, he turned around and looked at Gu Han, "...How is your body?"
It's mindless to ask.
Gu Han thought for a while before he realized that he was caring for himself, and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"fine?"
