Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

When Zhao Zewu saw Rong Youtang, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and raised his eyebrows excitedly, and then continued, "Third brother is really lively here, don't you mind my younger brother having dinner together? I got up early today, and the family has no appetite .”

Of course you have to agree.

Zhao Zeyong nodded: "Sixth younger brother and seventh younger brother, please sit down." The servants hurriedly set up bowls and chopsticks for the spectators. Inevitably, Guo Da got up early to greet him, but only Zhao Zewen said without raising his head: "Excuse me, Mr. Guo Er is here too."

As for Zhao Zewu?He didn't pay attention to Guo Da at all, and focused all his attention on Rong Youtang. He condescended to sit with you at the last table, smiled gracefully, and asked, "Who is this?"

Rong Youtang yelled in his heart that it was unlucky, he hated the blatantly obscene look in his eyes, but he couldn't show it, before he had time to speak, Zhao Ze'an replied on his behalf: "Seventh brother, he is a guest invited by me and third brother."

Among them, "My third brother and I" is particularly accentuated.

Because Zhao Ze'an was young, straightforward and straightforward, and didn't know how to hide it, everyone could hear the warning.

"Oh?" Zhao Zewu smiled nonchalantly, and said cheekily and ambiguously: "The third brother and the ninth younger brother took the lead, and I was going to invite him home... to talk about my heart." As he spoke, his body crooked In the past, it was unrestrained and undisguised.

roll!Who the hell wants to talk to you?

Rong Youtang instinctively moved to dodge, next to him was Guo Da, Guo Da saw everything in his eyes, wanted to help, but couldn't get beyond his status, there was nothing he could do.

The Seventh Prince, Zhao Zewu, is a well-known evil spirit of sex, men and women are not taboo, absurd and promiscuous, it is contemptible.

"Have you healed from your injuries that day? Let me see." Zhao Zewu raised his hand and wanted to grab Rong Youtang's arm, but the latter stood up and backed away, and said with restraint, "Don't dare to work, Seventh Highness."

"Brother Seven!" Zhao Ze'an couldn't hold back, and was already angry.

"Xiao Wu!" Zhao Zewen shouted annoyedly, thinking from the bottom of his heart that it would be a disaster for the twins to look too much alike—because there would always be someone who would admit the two were wrong and blame him for the nasty things Zhao Zewu did.

"Seventh brother, but the food is not to your liking? I saw you didn't move your chopsticks." King Qing asked expressionlessly.

"Hehehe, it's nothing, third brother, you can continue to eat, don't worry about me." Zhao Zewu sneered.

Seeing Rong Youtang's tense and pale face, Zhao Zeyong couldn't just sit idly by. After all, he invited the person, so he said, "Why doesn't Xiao Jiu eat? Don't just be in a daze." Then he turned to Rong Youtang Said: "Xiao Jiu likes you, how about persuading him to have some light appetizers?"

Rong Youtang immediately agreed as if he had been pardoned: "Okay!" Then he immediately walked to Zhao Ze'an's side - at this moment, as long as he can stay away from Zhao Zewu, what's the point of serving breakfast?

Even if a man can bend and rise, there is a bottom line.

Rong Youtang was very grateful to King Qing. After all, in terms of closeness, these Zhaos were brothers. It was really rare for King Qing to be willing to rescue someone of no importance.

"Hmm... I want to drink lotus seed and lily porridge." Zhao Ze'an agreed with the third brother's approach, and held Rong Youtang firmly, like a puppy protecting food, which caused his brother to look at him suspiciously, thinking: I don't usually see this kid being so protective of his guests?

"Ahaha, okay, okay! Let's eat first." Zhao Zewu was left alone, his face was obviously not good-looking, but he also knew that he should not tease his guests in front of the host, so he could only laugh dryly, not taking a bite to eat.

While serving porridge and soup for the Ninth Prince, Rong Youtang thought uneasily: Where is Zhou Mingjie?Isn't he here?

As soon as he thought about it, he heard Zhao Zewen say: "Xiao Jiu, my aunt brought back a lot of earthen things from Luchuan, and I ordered your cousin Mingjie to bring some. Among them are plateau pony, which is very interesting. Now it's very interesting. Stop in the front hall, where do you want to put it?" Although he said this to Brother Yao, he glanced at Zhao Zeyong from the corner of his eye.

aunt?Cousin Mingjie?

Zhao Zeyong and Guo Da heard it harshly.Rong Youtang thought: Although Zhou Mingjie entered the gate of Prince Qing's Mansion, he could only stay in the front hall with Bai Li. With his arrogance, he must feel extremely aggrieved...

"Ah? Me, that..." Zhao Ze'an didn't dare to express his opinion, and looked at the third brother timidly. After several lessons, he already knew his brother's Ni Lin.

"Mrs. Zhou has a heart." Zhao Zeyong calmly refused, "It's a pity that Xiao Jiu just got a little red horse a while ago. There are not many horses, so there is nothing to waste. Please tell Mr. Zhou to take it back."

nonsense!There is no little red horse at all!

Rong Youtang looked at the surprised and accusing eyes of the Ninth Prince with sympathy. The poor child who was curious about pony had to reluctantly agree with his brother: "Yes, Sixth Brother, I, I already have a little red horse." woo woo woo~

Zhao Zewen couldn't help observing King Qing's expression, and said generously: "It's okay, I'll bring it to you when I get something good next time."

"Thank you brother six."

This breakfast made everyone suffer from indigestion.

After the meal, Zhao Zeyong instructed: "Xiao Jiu, we are going to discuss matters related to the Longevity Festival. Greet your guests by yourself and don't be naughty." After finishing speaking, Zhao Zeyong handed Rong Youtang a " Understood?" look.

Rong Youtang understood, nodded quietly, and watched them leave with the Ninth Prince.

next moment

"Oh!!!"

Zhao Ze'an jumped three feet high, like a wild horse, turned around and rushed back, happily shouting: "They are all gone! Hahaha, come with me, I will take you to play!"

None of the servants could persuade them, so they could only follow closely.

Rong Youtang also relaxed a lot, and followed with a smile.Zhao Ze'an ran back to the study in one breath, stepped on a stool and pulled out a box from behind the books on the high shelf, Rong Youtang hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said: "Your Highness, be careful."

"It's okay." Zhao Ze'an held the box, and before opening it, he asked mysteriously, "Guess what's in here?"

Rong Youtang thought for a moment, and guessed earnestly: "It may not be priceless, but it must be unique."

Zhao Ze'an was startled, then lowered his head, carefully opened the lid of the vermillion box inlaid with beads and jade, and whispered, "You guessed it right."

After opening the lid, I saw that inside the small box, there were neatly placed a Jiulianhuan, several chubby clay figurines, a suet white jade pendant, and a pair of rough slingshots.

"The third brother Jiu Lianhuan gave it to me. He always looked down on me when I was young, and laughed at me and couldn't figure it out." Zhao Ze'an complained, pointing his finger again: "Look, who do you think these five clay figurines look like?"

Rong Youtang looked at it carefully, then shook his head with a suppressed smile: "I can't tell."

"Huh~" Zhao Ze'an's face was full of anger, but he put his force very lightly. He poked the clay figurine with his finger and said, "This is brought back by the third brother from the northwest. I pinched five, but none of them resembled it! Hey, the craftsmanship is really bad."

"His Royal Highness King Qing brought this back from the northwest? It must have been difficult after traveling thousands of miles?" Rong Youtang was really envious. He could tell that King Qing loved his younger brother very much.

Zhao Ze'an hummed with unknown meaning, and continued to introduce: "This jade pendant, this jade pendant...is left to me by my concubine. My grandmother said that when my concubine was pregnant with me, she got this piece of beautiful jade and asked someone to carve it into this jade pendant." Fu Lu is safe and sound, praying in person, and then asking the eminent monk to consecrate it..." Zhao Ze'an couldn't continue, his eyes were lonely and dazed.

It is well known in the government and the people of Chengguo that when Concubine Shu conceived the Nine Princes, she was unfortunately frightened, gave birth prematurely and had dystocia, and died.

Rong Youtang himself also had a biological mother who died early, so he could empathize with her. He was silent for a moment, and instead of asking, he changed the subject and said, "What about the slingshot? Was it also a gift from His Royal Highness Prince Qing?"

Who knows, Zhao Ze'an shook his head: "This is not." He looked even more unhappy.

Children's minds, unfamiliar with can't guess.

Rong Youtang could only accompany him patiently, and suddenly felt that the Ninth Prince was a bit pitiful: with his status, he must have countless treasures, but what he treasured was these old things.

After all, he is already ten years old. His Highness the Ninth Prince must have known that he was only fostered under the Queen's knees. His natal family is the Dingbeihou Mansion instead of the Pingnanhou Mansion, and his own brother is Zhao Zeyong, not the Queen's son...

So, in fact, he wasn't as alienated and bored with King Qing as he seemed?

Rong Youtang took advantage of the situation and thought deeply.

Fortunately, the child wasn't too preoccupied. After being in a daze for a while, Zhao Ze'an quickly cheered up, picked up the slingshot, and looked at Rong Youtang expectantly: "Can you play this?"

Rong Youtang smiled: "I understand a little bit."

"Let's go, I'll take you to fight plum blossoms!"

Therefore, when King Qing finished his business and returned to the mansion, he heard his subordinates report that "His Highness Ninth Prince insisted on going to the Plum Garden to enjoy the flowers despite his illness".

But when he found those two people:

"The red one! The tallest cluster of red ones! Hit it!" Zhao Ze'an jumped up excitedly.

"It's too biased, I guess we'll have to try a few more times." Rong Youtang held up the slingshot to find the angle a few times, very professionally, after popping out a few golden beads, he hit the branch accurately with a "crack", and the target fell to the tip .

With white snow and red plums, the young man has picturesque eyebrows, and his smile is so good that people can't take their eyes off.

"Wow! Hahaha, you are really good!" Zhao Ze'an jumped to grab it, but his hand was empty, and when he looked back, his brother had already caught the branch of red plum.

"Appreciate the plum blossoms?" Zhao Zeyong looked at the scattered petals on the snow and sighed, "You hurt the plum blossoms, you two will really ruin Fengya."

For some reason, Zhao Ze'an looked like a hedgehog when he saw his brother, as if he had to confront him before he could speak.At this moment, he raised his chin, and was about to refute, but Rong Youtang had already explained: "Your Highness, His Highness Jiu originally wanted to pick a few blooming branches for you to enjoy, but I'm not skilled enough, so I ruined a lot of them." Hua'er, I'm extremely ashamed."

Although it was true, Zhao Ze'an just refused to talk about it, and Aojiao turned his head aside.

"Oh? That's my mistake." Zhao Zeyong couldn't hide his surprise. He laughed and raised his hand to touch his younger brother's fur hat, but he frowned before he could praise him, and immediately ordered: "Take His Highness the Ninth Prince back Go to the room to change clothes, the hat is wet!"

The entourage hurriedly agreed and rushed forward.

"Hey——" Zhao Ze'an just wanted to object, but was suppressed by his brother's uncompromising eyes. Before leaving, he reluctantly said to Rong Youtang: "You remember to come tomorrow, don't forget!"

"Go back and change your clothes." Rong Youtang was noncommittal, but urged, feeling quite guilty in his heart, after all, he was old, but he didn't take good care of her.

After a while, only Rong and Zhao were left to confront each other.

A gust of north wind blew, and snowflakes fluttered onto Rong Youtang's body, and petals fell one after another, his face was itchy, but King Qing was right in front of him, Rong Youtang didn't dare to move, his eyes were on his nose and nose Watch your heart and stand straight.

He waited intently for a while, but only the sound of wind and snow could be heard in his ears.

what?Could it be that King Qing was unhappy because I played with the Ninth Prince in the snow and plum blossoms just now?

Rong Youtang was feeling uneasy, when King Qing finally turned his gaze back from the top of the plum tree, and said, "Rong Kaiji, his father Rong Maode was the former magistrate of Jiangzhou. The case of disaster relief money."

Rong Youtang's heart skipped a beat, his back and neck suddenly tightened, extremely anxious.

"Except for the beheading of the main culprit, the wives and daughters served as the Jiaofang Secretary, and the men served as servants. But in the end, all the family members committed suicide by taking poison except Rong Kaiji."

Rong Youtang couldn't refute it, because what the other party said was the truth—in fact, it was just a superficial fact, and the truth had been covered up and suppressed by the powerful before it was revealed to the world.

"The reputation of a scholar on you is that Rong Kaiji entrusted his father's old friend, who was in the Imperial Academy at the time, to compile and write the documents Yan Yongxin did."

Now Rong Youtang was in a hurry, he couldn't hurt innocent people, so he quickly explained:

"Your Highness, Mr. Yan is upright and honest, with a kind heart. He wanted to get a job after he met the eunuch, but he couldn't get a recommendation. He was asked by my father and son several times before he agreed to help!"

"It's not easy. Sometimes, it takes more courage to live than to die, and he really loves you." Zhao Zeyong commented objectively, with some appreciation.

Rong Youtang never expected that such a noble person as King Qing would say, and he replied dully after a long while: "Your Highness is wise."

Zhao Zeyong bowed his head, his eyes were extremely menacing, and said: "You did a good job today, Xiao Jiu is rarely so happy."

"You are too well-respected. His Highness Ninth Prince is generous and kind-hearted, and is very easy to get along with." Rong Youtang sincerely praised him. Before he came, he thought that it was inevitable to be made things difficult, but he was completely wrong.At this moment, his back was already covered with sweat, and he was worried, fearing that after Prince Qing's investigation, his adoptive father would investigate him and find Zhou Renlin.

There is no one who does not like to hear good words, and King Qing is no exception. He smiled and shook his head: "Yes, he is indeed not a tricky and arrogant person."

Rong Youtang followed suit with a smile, standing in the open air for too long without activities, his body was getting colder and colder.

If you have something to say, hurry up, why don't you go into the room and talk?Rong Youtang yelled in his heart.

King Qing worked hard enough for his younger brother, and after beating and affirming it, he finally concluded: "Xiao Jiu said that he would find a wife for you, but he is young after all, so I have to do it for him. .”

Ok?

Rong Youtang listened carefully.

"Your knowledge is not bad, the age difference is not too big, and you are still smart and motivated."

Rong Youtang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"...From now on, you come here every morning to accompany Xiaojiu, or read and practice calligraphy, or chat while riding and shooting. You can neither restrain him nor indulge him too much, you need to guide him flexibly."

Rong Youtang was dumbfounded: What do you mean?

"...Do things well for me, and I won't treat you badly. A place like Yueshan Academy is fine. If you want to study and become an official, Guozijian is the first choice. As long as you put your heart into it, after the spring, you will naturally get a place to enroll."

Ahhh!Guozijian? !I wanted to go in in my previous life, but the Zhou family would rather give the spot to the nephew than to me...

Seeing that Rong Youtang lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, Zhao Zeyong couldn't help being a little surprised, and patiently seduced him: "Why? Don't you want to? The Imperial College is worth a hundred Yueshan Academy, and no matter how bad you come out, you can find an official job."
