Neighboring school old enemy bows to me

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year's Eve came. Many honorable families in the capital began to visit each other to congratulate each other. .

He Zhiyang had taken a fancy to the burnt gold and silver a long time ago, and took a handful out of play, put it in his hand to look at it, and asked He Zhiji: "This pattern is good, and it looks auspicious, I will take some Make a present for a friend, okay bro?"

"You grabbed four or fifty taels with one hand, don't you have a monthly case?" He Zhiji raised his eyes, glanced at his younger brother, and said calmly: "Don't take the money from the family as a favor for yourself."

He Zhiyang pursed his lips and said secretly that he was stingy, and secretly reported to his father.

Ren Anbo straightened his eyes and said, "I still need your brother's consent for a few year-end gold coins, just take a handful and share it for fun."

After He Zhiyang got this sentence, he grinned and ran to grab a few handfuls of gold, but Ren Amber said suspiciously again: "You stand first, which friend are you going to give it to?"

He Zhiyang said: "It's Xu Yiqing. He will take the imperial examination in the coming year. I will give him some fish jumping over the dragon's gate. It will also be auspicious."

"It's Yiqing!" Ren Anbo felt relieved when he heard that he was not from the Jinyi Official School, and he said, "I'm happy to send you as many classmates as I want! Yiqing is a good boy, you should be decent when you give him things."

As he said that, he asked someone to bring the couplets and purses, and deliberately picked out a lot of good-looking golden nudes, and asked the servant to send them to Xu's family.

He Zhiyang originally wanted to run errands there himself, but his father's meddling seemed like He's family and Xu's walking around.

But he didn't say much, in short, sending the gold to Xu Yiqing will solve the urgent need in the coming year.

Ren Anbo was very relieved, he glanced at his son and said: "If you go to the Imperial College, if you can really meet a few friends like Yiqing, it will not be in vain. Your brother and I have said it before becoming a father. Instead of talking to the next door It’s better to get to know a few more classmates if you’re in Jinyiwei’s arena.”

"I don't quarrel with Jin Yiwei anymore." He Zhiyang said: "After that Cuju match, our relationship has improved day by day. You don't have to worry about me getting into trouble with your family again."

"What's getting better every day!?" Ren Amber immediately said: "I didn't ask you to make friends with them. You can live well on the surface, and you must not let your heart go!"

He Zhiyang pursed his lips and smiled when he heard his father's words, which sounded like a scumbag, but a trace of bewilderment flashed across his eyes.

It's fine on the surface, but don't get distracted...

Is this something that everyone has tacitly understood? Recently, Qiao Yue has been extraordinarily attentive to himself. Xu Yiqing took the initiative to come forward and explain things carefully afterwards. He looked very sincere...even caring for some small details, congratulations. Zhi Yang was simply dumbfounded...

It is said that Guozijian and Jinyiwei will never be really close, but Qiao Yue's actions are not just to make life on the surface, right?

When Ren Anbo heard Jin Yiwei, he exploded like a firecracker. He said again and again: "Don't make friends with them. Those Jin Yiwei eat people and don't spit out bones. If you take it lightly, it's not fun to be caught by them!"

Cannibalism does not spit out the bones... Take it lightly... Grab the handle...

The corners of He Zhiyang's mouth turned up slightly, but it was Qiao Yue standing in front of the horse, carefully and sincerely apologizing to him.

The person who is used to being arrogant, but because he said a few cold words, he apologized to him with extra gentleness and heart.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look as scary as others say.

I don't know how Qiao Yue plans to celebrate the new year?They are neighbors, but they seldom move around. I don't know if they will go to Qiao's house when they go to the official's house with their elder brother to celebrate the New Year.

On the first day of the new year, after the He family opened the ancestral hall and paid homage, Fang left the main hall, and after eating together, he took a sedan chair to visit his acquainted relatives and friends.

Many officials Xungui took this opportunity to communicate their feelings, and the streets were full of people celebrating the festival, full of joy and festive decorations.

It was the first time for He Zhiyang to visit with his father and brother. He restrained his temper and looked carefully everywhere. After visiting several houses, his waist would be broken. Apart from harvesting a rainbow fart, nothing else was left behind.

On the other hand, Ren Anbo and his wife, with two handsome young masters, who wouldn't envy them?He stole the limelight along the way.

He Zhiyang was too lazy to be a human background, so he wanted to retreat and slip back home, but He Zhiji held him back and said, "The house I'm going to is Xiao Guogong's mansion, the duke's wife is strong, and most of the officials' families in the capital will come for the New Year's Eve Greetings, it will be of great benefit for you to meet her in the future."

He Zhiyang: "..."

It has to be said that his cheap brother in this life is completely different from his real brother in his previous life.In his previous life, his elder brother guarded him like a thief, laughing at Yan Yan to others, but he had a sullen face to him, for fear that his half-brother would steal the family business from him. Sending people abroad is out of sight.

In He Zhiyang's inherently cautious mind, these officials and dignitaries whom he can make friends with are also resources. The reason why he doesn't want to visit with his family is because he is afraid that his brother will be unhappy. Who knows that He Zhiji is extraordinarily generous, wishing him to make progress.

He Zhiyang looked at his brother with emotion, and followed in the footsteps of his father and brother into the threshold of the Duke's Mansion.

The Duke's Mansion is really different. As soon as He Zhiyang entered the flower hall, his eyes widened in shock. In the hall, there were familiar faces from the Hou's Mansion in the capital, and the nephews and nephews of officials and officials who came to pay their respects... coming in and out. There was an endless stream, and the lamp tassels were crowded and trembling.

It seems to be a must-have site for Xungui's New Year greeting card.

Ren Anbo led his wife and nephews in, and bowed in front of the main hall in a proper manner.

Just as He Zhiyang knelt down, the old lady above said with a smile: "Have you gone to a lot of people? You don't get tired from kneeling? Take the children and find a place to rest."

He Zhiyang immediately felt that the Duke's wife had empathy, and unconsciously raised his head to look up, and saw that the kang was covered with a black fox fur mattress, and covered with pillows with the word "shou" on it. One looked more than 70 years old, and the charm still remained. The kind old lady looked at them with a smile.

Seeing He Zhiyang, the old lady's eyes lit up: "This kid is your kid? This is the first time seeing a guest this year, right?"

Ren Anbo hurriedly responded with a smile: "It's my youngest son, who is about to be crowned, so he will follow him out to see the world."

"He has a good face, and he looks as outstanding as his brother." Mrs. Guo couldn't help seeing the two brothers of the He family dressed in robes, as pleasing as Zhilan Yushu, especially the eyes of the younger son as clear and clear as autumn water. After a few glances: "Let the children have a good rest."

As soon as the Duke's wife spoke, a servant immediately stepped forward to help them up and led them to the carved lacquered chairs to do it.

This is a corner of the flower hall. Five or six chairs share a small carved table and foot stove. Each table has five or six maids serving tea. It is a rest area for the rich and powerful. The He family has just arrived, so naturally they want to sit and drink a cup of tea and gossip. Leave after a while.

People around were chatting and laughing, talking about the family life of the nobles in the capital, He Zhiyang took the tea from the maid's hand in boredom, and took a few sips in boredom.

Just after drinking two sips of tea, I suddenly saw two little young masters who looked like picturesque people, wearing Yingluo and wearing cloaks, entered the room and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, calling grandma obediently together.

He Zhiyang only thought that he was the grandson of the Duke's wife, and didn't pay much attention to it, but the men at the same table suddenly started whispering.

"Look, isn't this Madam's grandson and daughter-in-law?"

"Tsk tsk, daughter-in-law grandson is really a man, oh my god, she even called her grandma in front of the public, and she responded with a smile!"

"This is a marriage that she personally facilitated. Naturally, she likes this grandson and granddaughter-in-law very much!"

Grandson and daughter-in-law?

Cough, cough, He Zhiyang shook his hand holding the tea, and immediately coughed non-stop, his beautiful eyes couldn't help looking at the two men who had a close relationship...

They are looking at each other with affection...

two men! ?He Zhiyang kept looking at it several times like watching a rare shadow puppet show...

After a while, he came to his senses, that's right, they are husband and wife... He Zhiyang was quite surprised, in fact, the impact in modern times was not so great, but he really didn't expect that Da Ming's atmosphere would be so open.

"You said that her grandson likes men. If this was placed in another mansion, wouldn't it break her legs, but the old lady took the initiative to ask for an imperial decree to make this marriage..." The man next to him said: "I don't shy away from it." Woolen cloth."

He Zhiyang's eyes tightened, and his ears pricked up.

"More than that?" Someone said with a smile, "I heard that Mrs. Guo has since fallen in love with being the matchmaker with broken sleeves. She has arranged several marriages for men, big and small, in the capital. She also joked that regardless of family background, As long as men fall in love, she can witness the marriage!"

He Zhiyang shook his head with neither laughter nor laughter.

At this moment, someone suddenly walked over with a smile and squeezed between him and his brother: "Hey, Brother He, long time no see, why? You brought my brother here too?"

He Zhiyang glanced to the left and recognized this man as the eldest son of the Cheng family and brother of his classmate Cheng Cheng.

He Zhiji's steady voice came: "Yes, my father wants my brother to practice more."

"Excellence and practice! Speaking of it, the New Year's greetings should indeed be made public by the son-in-law, so as not to offend the nobles because of lack of discipline and education since childhood." Brother Cheng Cheng said with a smile: "Seeing that your younger brother is a mature talent, Brother is really happy too!"

He Zhiyang frowned and suppressed his anger.

There is something wrong with this person's brain!What kind of concubine son, isn't this stabbing his brother's heart!

His brother and his body are not the same mother, his brother's mother is his father's first daughter-in-law, she died of illness just after getting upright, and He Zhiyang's mother is the second wife, but after so many years, the He family has never had In the dispute, his elder brother provoked the He family's burden, and he was in charge of all the big and small matters in the family.

This person said that he was a prostitute on the left, and that he lacked discipline and education on the right. Isn't this strange and ironic! ?

He Zhiji smiled calmly: "That's reasonable, your brother Cheng Cheng has grown up, he is a descendant, he will not be in need of discipline and education, why didn't he come to show his face today?"

He Zhiyang almost laughed out loud when he heard that, Cheng Cheng bullied the weak in the Imperial College, and a few days ago he got into a fight with the young masters of the Hou Mansion because of drinking flower wine, and was beaten up by Cheng Cheng on New Year's Eve, and now he can't get up Lying on the bed, his elder brother was very angry about this matter, but he was poking at the Achilles heel of the Cheng family.

Brother Cheng Cheng's complexion changed when he heard about his family's scandal, and he said incompetently and furiously: "My younger brother and I have the same mother and mother, so I can do everything for me. The name of congratulations is for one person to come. If both brothers come, If the ranking is not clear, it is easy to fight for the lead!"

Generally, they are honorable ministers with titles, their wives and their sons. Brother Cheng Cheng said that, he was mocking He Zhiji's fame and disobedience. He Zhiyang was about to grow up. As far as the succession of the earl, his legitimate son will definitely fight with his brother.

"Brother Cheng Cheng? What? Come here today to explain the rules to my brother?" He Zhiyang put down his teacup, stood coldly in front of He Zhiji, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "The rules of your Cheng family are really interesting, really You teach a good nephew, a position of congratulations can attract brothers to fight? Our He family is really eye-opening."

"Yo. It's the young master of the He family." Brother Cheng Cheng said in a strange way: "I heard that the young master is very well-behaved, even the monthly money for school is in the hands of my brother, and my father is in charge and my brother is in charge, hahahaha, your brother It's really beautiful!"

Some people really deserve a beating, and they always want to stir up other people's turmoil. He is thinking that He Zhiyang's temper can't be tolerated, and saying in front of everyone that he is under the control of his brother will make He Zhiyang lose face and create a rift with his brother.

"I'm young, and I can avoid detours by listening to my father and brother, so as not to look crooked like someone." He Zhiyang looked at Brother Cheng Cheng pointedly, his voice was not high, but it happened that everyone present could hear it : "My brother was a teenager in high school. He used to suppress rebellion and suppress bandits for the imperial court, and later inspected firearms in the Beijing camp. He trained the team very well and saved more than 1000 taels of silver for the Ministry of War! It is mine to have such a brother discipline me." Blessing."

With a smile on the corner of He Zhiyang's mouth, he glanced at Brother Cheng unintentionally: "If my brother drinks flower wine and fights chickens and dogs every day in the capital, then I will naturally not obey him!"

Brother Cheng Cheng, who sleeps in flowers and willows every day, blushes in the face of sarcasm, stretches out his hand and says, "You..."

"It's not shameful for me to be controlled by my brother, but it's shameful for you if you can't control your brother." He Zhiyang looked at him coldly and said, "If you want to reach out to take care of my He family's affairs, why not close the door and sort out your own mess !"

As soon as He Zhiyang's words fell, many people around who knew about the scandal of the Cheng family snickered.

"Look, look at how you talk, kid?" Brother Cheng Cheng lost face, straightened his face, and simply showed the appearance of an elder: "Zhiyang, you are about the same age as your younger brother, let me remind you a few words , also for your own good."

"It's more kind of me to say these few words." He Zhiyang blinked, and said with a sly voice: "You are also the son of the Cheng family, and you will inevitably show your face in the future. I am not kind enough to remind you today - mind your own business, you know Proper. I'll mention a few words to you, and it's also for your own good!"

Brother Cheng Cheng wanted to speak again, but someone came over to look at He Zhiyang and said, "Young master, the old lady invites you."

He Zhiyang was startled, and hurriedly followed this person.

As soon as they laughed, the old lady saw the eyes. At this moment, the old lady looked at He Zhiyang with a smile: "You are young, but you know that you are devoted to protecting your brother!"

He Zhiyang's words just fell into her ears. He Zhiji's excellence is naturally unquestionable, but being said by his own brother like a child is very touching.

The old lady nodded as she spoke, and the praise in her tone couldn't be hidden.

He Zhiyang's ears were a little red: "It's my brother who treats me well on weekdays."

In fact, he has always been indifferent to his brother, but because of the comparison in his previous life, he thinks that this cheap brother is okay. Besides, how can he let He Zhiyang's brother be bullied by the Cheng family's lack of heart?

Mrs. Duke looked at He Zhiyang with a smile, feeling more and more interesting.

When He Zhiyang came in, he only thought that this was a delicate and delicate young master from the capital city, who never wanted to let go of the scene of arguing with his elder brother, but rather like a beautiful little leopard who was about to rush up and bite someone viciously.

Now that the situation has calmed down, and I praised him a few times, the fierce look just now disappeared, and my earlobes turned red with embarrassment.

Such a cute and innocent young man, how could he not see it with his dim old eyes!

Mrs. Guogong patted the back of He Zhiyang's hand, her tone was as if she had discovered a treasure left in the sea: "Son, have you ever said that I have been married?"
