Immortal Venerable Cubs Manual II [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 74 True and False Gold [V]
The next day.
Three big news broke in the capital:
First, Princess Changning set up thousands of river lanterns in order to give Bo Nan a smile;
Second, the son of the Marquis of Wuyang and the Lord of Jianing County fell into the river together, presumably they will be married soon;
Thirdly, the son of the King of Lu was playing tricks on the street, playing with the little man of a good family, but he was beaten by the little man. As for why the son of the King of Lu himself is quite good at martial arts, and he is accompanied by guards, and he will be beaten by others. Of course, he is willing to do so. , couldn't bear to hurt the beauty.
Liang Zhaozhao: Nothing else, what the hell is the name of a good young gentleman?
She knew that the third rumor was not true, so she had some doubts about the authenticity of the first two, so she asked her father after a meal.
Then I learned that the lamp was a surprise prepared by the male favorite (Qi Xiuyan) for the princess; the second news was true, but it was because what she heard was the most concise version, which only described the facts without any embellishments.
Liang Zhaozhao deeply realized that he really grew up in a small place, and didn't know that the capital is rich in conversation resources.
It's just that these have little to do with her. She has a lot to learn, so she will quickly forget about them.
Si Xingjian went to meet the male favorite who was being discussed.
He put a bank note in front of Qi Xiuyan, "Compensation for Aqi's family."
The original owner killed A Qi, and now he has taken over the original owner's property, and he does things according to his own ideas.
As for whether the original owner has such an idea, it's not something he cares about. He doesn't like to do things according to other people's ideas.
It's a bit contradictory to say that the original owner's method can be called cruel, but when facing the old, weak, women and children, he is soft-hearted and spares their lives.
Si Xingjian didn't feel guilty towards A Qi's family, all he could do was give some money as compensation, and he never thought of taking care of them for the rest of his life.
When Qi Xiuyan heard his words, he twitched the corner of his mouth in disdain, and slandered: Compensation?Can this money be compensated for their husband and father?
Qi Xiuyan was not angry in his heart, but the action of collecting money was not vague at all.
Si Xingjian took out the hidden weapons that he had snatched from Qi Xiuyan before, "I want to order some hidden weapons."
He said and took out the drawings and deposit.
The matter of Zhaozhao and Yue'er reminded him that he should prepare some self-defense weapons for the two children.
In fact, if he can draw blueprints, he can make them naturally.
It's just that he thinks it's a waste of time, and it's too troublesome to prepare tools.Since someone can do it for you, why not do it?
Those skilled craftsmen are the servants of the princess mansion, and they will keep their mouths in check.
Qi Xiuyan looked at the things on the table, sneered, and said, "Am I familiar with you? Why..."
Seeing the few pieces of paper that Si Xingjian pushed in front of him, he swallowed the second half of the sentence abruptly.
"Thank you." Si Xingjian spit out two words calmly.
This is exactly what he took out from the secret room in the library.
If these papers are seen by people who don't know, they will only be confused, but they, the parties involved, know that some of their information and what they have done are recorded on it.
Before destroying those materials, Si Xingjian checked the original owner's life experience and realized that the original owner might really be the son of Princess Anyi.
However, what the prince told the original owner was not true. The death of Princess Anyi's family was due to the failure of the struggle for power, and the winner was the prince and the emperor who ascended the throne of the Great Moon King.
There is no point in pursuing these grievances, after all, those people are dead.
And he is not the original owner.
Si Xingjian waited patiently for Qi Xiuyan to finish reading the papers.
After confirming the authenticity, Qi Xiuyan looked up with a complicated expression, "You..."
Is this a threat?Not quite.But it seems even more unbelievable to say that it was for the purpose of making a few hidden weapons.
Si Xingjian just tapped the drawing with her fingertips.
"I really don't understand what you're thinking about." Qi Xiuyan shrugged and put the things away, "When it's done, I'll send someone to your house. Also, those things are over, Dayue Kingdom If you die early, it won't do you any good if you expose my identity?"
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Si Xingjian nodded, got up and left.
Now he was ready to deal with Tang Juexiao.
What can make the street talk fade away, apart from time, is the greater excitement.
By the time the results of the palace examination came out, the gossip of those royal family and dignitaries had become obsolete.
Even the fact that Prince Lu's son went to the Xiaoguan Pavilion yesterday but did not bring any money, and was almost left in the pavilion to sell himself to pay off his debts, was not too much of a splash.
But those who should know the news, still know.
The matter of the little prince was naturally arranged by Si Xingjian.
Didn't the other party want to smear themselves and hide their reputation?How can it be enough to only tune in on the street?
He does good deeds every day, but he still does not leave his name behind.
Tang Juexiao woke up in the small hall, realized his situation, almost laughed angrily.
If he didn't know that nothing happened to him, he wouldn't be able to maintain this flirtatious, frivolous and masculine image.
Fortunately, he is used to comforting himself with "the lost mulberry elm harvested in the east", and calmly asked people to go directly to Lu Wang's mansion to ask for money.
In this way, his uncle will be more at ease, right?
"I haven't troubled you yet, but you've come to plot against me." Tang Juexiao murmured.
Although he had no evidence, he firmly believed that it was the brazen woman who disguised herself as a man and concealed it from him, and made him admit it——Liang Zhaozhao.
He hasn't found out her origin yet, but he knows that the other little lady who was with her that night - that has something to do with his crippled prince cousin, and even King Qi has something to do with such an experience. Her family can't get rid of the relationship.
What is their plan?
Tang Juexiao was very curious, and even looked forward to it - the days of pretending to be trash all day were too boring.
So when he heard that Liang Zhaozhao and his sister were going to see the No. [-] scholar parade, he also went out.
This is the first time for Liang Zhaozhao and Si Anyue to go out after the Shangsi Festival incident.
The two of them are at home these days, but they don't feel bored. They are busy reading, practicing martial arts, planting, cleaning the warehouse...every day is very fulfilling.
This time it was Zhang Junchen who invited them because his elder brother Zhang Junxi was a high school student.
Liang Zhaozhao and Zhang Junchen were friends, and they also knew Zhang Junxi, so it was hard to refuse, and they prepared an inkstone as a congratulatory gift.
It's just that she is a little worried about Zhang Tanhua's innocence. After all, no one can say whether he will "inherit his father's business" today. After all, these members of the royal family are the most unruly.
Si Anyue really wanted to see the once-in-three-year event, but she still had the shadow of what happened last time in her heart, so she didn't plan to go out.
It was Liang Zhaozhao who advised her, "How can a person give up eating because of choking? We can't just stay out of the house to avoid offending the rich and powerful. How miserable is that life? Besides, those rich and powerful will not watch this kind of excitement."
Si Anyue thinks so too, the capital is so big, their life circle of common people rarely intersects with the rich and powerful.
It's impossible to go out just once and meet some little prince, right?
How unlucky she must be.
So Si Anyue went out in a happy mood and full of expectations.
Because Zhang Junchen had already booked a private room in the restaurant, they just went directly to the agreed place.
Liang Zhaozhao just walked to the corner of the stairs, when he heard a familiar voice—"Can't I really move out a private room for my son? Then share one with others, my son will not dislike it."
She paused, hesitating whether to change places.
Today she is dressed as a woman.
Seeing her stop, Si Anyue hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, let's go." She advised Yue'er not to give up eating because of choking, how could she back down?
She is not the kind of person who hides and wrongs herself because of others.
Is this little prince so idle?Why is there him everywhere!
As soon as the two of them went upstairs, they saw Tang Juexiao head-on, and heard the other party smile and say, "Hey, isn't this the little gentleman? Why are you interested in pretending to be a girl today?"
As soon as Liang Zhaozhao heard it, he knew that he probably already knew his identity, so she didn't want to talk to him, so she took Yue'er and left.
Unexpectedly, Tang Juexiao had a thick skin, walked up to the two of them, and waved at Xiao Er, "We know each other, just sit in a private room."
Liang Zhaozhao: This dog skin plaster is too annoying.
Si Anyue: Let's go to the temple to pay respects another day.
Liang Zhaozhao couldn't get rid of the dog skin plaster, and even found out after entering the private room that Zhang Junchen and this little prince knew each other, not just acquaintances.
The two have been able to call each other "Brother Zhang" and "Brother Tang" very affectionately.
Liang Zhaozhao really wanted to ask Zhang Junchen, "You are on good terms with a masculine young prince, do your parents know?"
But she didn't, she just said coldly: "I don't know, when will you be able to call Lu Wangshizi brother and brother?"
"The prince of Lu?" Zhang Junchen asked in surprise.
She knew that this person was hiding his identity!
Tang Juexiao immediately said to Zhang Junchen: "I have introduced you as a confidant, do you want to deny my brother because of your status?"
"of course not!"
"That's it! I, like Brother Zhang, dreamed of being able to walk the world with a sword and eradicate all injustices in the world. Unfortunately, I am tired of my status... Sigh!"
Liang Zhaozhao looked coldly at this man who coaxed Zhang Junchen with a few words, feeling depressed for a while, how could she be friends with such an idiot?
It was really sold and had to count the money.
She took Yue'er to the window, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, took out a thumb-sized peach blossom cake from her purse, and ate it slowly.
"We're all here. It's worthwhile to watch the No. [-] Scholar Parade. Just ignore them."
Si Anyue nodded, and said rather melancholy: "I have no interest in going out these days."
She should study how to eat at home. Seeing people she hates really affects her appetite.
Liang Zhaozhao deeply felt the same way, no matter whether Tang Juexiao was really a dude or scheming, she didn't want to provoke him.
In fact, her biggest wish is that her family can live in harmony and joy, but if she wants to get her wish, she can't just stay behind closed doors and keep her ears shut.
She has to understand the outside world, including political laws and regulations, court battles, and the nature of those who hold great power... She never expects that if she is in danger one day, she can rely on the kindness or compassion of others to survive.
This is also one of the reasons why she often went out after coming to the capital.
She can't stay at home and rely on her father to support her. She has to learn to help her father share his worries.
Liang Zhaozhao stuffed peach blossom cakes into his mouth unconsciously, watching the crowd downstairs in a daze.
Si Anyue also looked at the people downstairs with great interest.
They behaved so calmly and nonchalantly, Tang Juexiao, who had been paying attention to them, couldn't stand it.
How about awe?What about panic?Should at least be a little guilty or shy?
Tang Juexiao, with the idea of making trouble, reminded Zhang Junchen, "Are those two relatives of yours?"
"It's my two distant sisters." Zhang Junchen still remembered the difference between men and women, so he didn't say much.
Tang Juexiao put his hands on his forehead, and said with some doubts: "I seem to have seen them somewhere, especially the taller one, I always feel familiar... Also, they live in the capital, so it is not surprising to see them by chance .”
"Huh? Zhao...she didn't live in the capital before."
Tang Juexiao looked disbelieving, "Really? Then how did she know my identity?"
Hmph, if you want to avoid the Shangsi Festival, it depends on whether he agrees or not.
"Yes, how did you know?" Zhang Junchen turned his head and asked Liang Zhaozhao loudly.
Liang Zhaozhao turned around when Tang Juexiao deliberately mentioned himself, and seeing that Zhang Junchen really came to ask, he smiled and said: "Of course I met the little prince on the night of the Shangsi Festival."
She felt that Zhang Junchen probably hadn't heard the rumor, but he just didn't think of it for a while, so she took the initiative to mention two key words.
Even if she said what would happen, would the young prince still want to tell about the embarrassing things that day?
Tang Juexiao heard provocation from her tone.
"Shangsi Festival?" Zhang Junchen asked back, "Didn't you say you won't go out that day? You just don't want to play with me!"
Liang Zhaozhao: "..." Is this the point?
Even Si Anyue felt that Zhang Junchen was so stupid that she couldn't bear to look directly at him, and she also realized that she might have been too worried about her previous precautions.
She thought that this man had some kind of crooked mind, maybe he didn't have such a muscle.
"Because my father was suddenly free that day, so he took us shopping." Si Anyue explained.
She lied that day, so let her do it now.
Zhang Junchen was still relentless, he had to say that Liang Zhaozhao loved the new and hated the old, he no longer cared about his friend who had known him for many years, and took the opportunity to spoil a meal before generously expressing his forgiveness.
The corners of Si Anyue's mouth twitched twice, she seriously suspected that this man wanted to go with them on Shangsi Festival just for eating and drinking!
Liang Zhaozhao nodded in agreement, and did not mention the fact that he knew Prince Lu's son.
Several people took advantage of the opportunity to talk about the delicious and fun places in the capital.
Among the four, only Tang Juexiao lived here since he was a child and had the opportunity to wander around. When he talked about the food shops in the capital, he knew everything about it.
He has a lot of knowledge and good taste. Whether it is talking about gluttonous feasts or street food, he can quote classics and witty words.
Even Liang Zhaozhao couldn't deny that if she didn't know Tang Juexiao's identity and nature, she might regard him as a friend she could make.
She watched Yue'er listening attentively, wishing she could take out a small notebook to write down, and thought to herself: No wonder Zhang Junchen would call him brothers and sisters, this person would really like him.
Just as she was thinking like this, she heard Tang Juexiao say: "I was being rude that day, which caused the girl to miss the delicious food. I know that there is a small mandarin fish ball in a small building that does a good job. Why don't I be the host there today as an apology?" .”
Tang Juexiao had a gentle and polite smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart: He has already offered to apologize, and the other party whipped him, how can he remain indifferent?
In March of Yangchun, the peach blossoms are in full bloom and the mandarin fish are plump.
Mandarin fish dumplings should be better than tofu dumplings, right?
Si Anyue pursed her lower lip, and reservedly refused: "No need, I was cowardly, I was so scared that I threw away my things, and while still in fear, I accidentally injured the prince."
She hesitated for a moment, glanced at Tang Juexiao, then lowered her head and said, "Fortunately, the son is magnanimous, and the adults don't remember the faults of the villains."
Tang Juexiao, who thought she was going to say "I'll be the host to make amends", was about to nod in agreement, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Sure enough, thick-skinned is in the same strain!
Just as he was about to say "I'm not an adult", he heard the sound of gongs and drums approaching.
Zhang Junchen said excitedly: "It's my elder brother!" He said and ran to the window.
Liang Zhaozhao and Si Anyue also followed, after all, they went out today mainly to watch the champion parade.
Because of the presence of outsiders, they didn't discuss much. They just quietly watched the bustle downstairs and felt the joy of the students who had studied hard for many years in the cold window.
Infected by the joyful and festive atmosphere, they felt a lot of emotion in their hearts. At this moment, they suddenly heard shouts from around them: "Brother! I'm here!"
The two of them took two steps back at the same time, with a look of "I don't know this guy".
They hid in time, and did not meet the scrutinizing eyes of everyone.
The excitement passed quickly, and Si Anyue felt that she didn't seem to see any excitement.
Because of Tang Juexiao's presence, neither Liang Zhaozhao nor Si Anyue wanted to stay longer, so they bid farewell.
Zhang Junchen proposed to send them off on the grounds that there were too many people on the street.
Tang Juexiao didn't stop, nor did he follow up cheekily. After watching the three leave, he sat alone for a while.
With no outsiders around, he put away the cynical expression that always hung on his face, which made him look a little more calm and lonely that didn't match his age.
He really envied these people who had brothers, sisters, and friends.
Tang Juexiao raised his voice and called out, "Gu Yu."
Gu Yu pushed the door open, and what he saw was the same little prince as usual.
"Send someone to Yuezhou to investigate." Tang Juexiao ordered lightly. He always felt that this person was unusual or had other purposes.
When I saw him, there was no reverence, no flattery, and no contempt—he was an ignorant, masculine little prince.
He only saw the alienation that he avoided in the other party's actions.
Could it be that he was playing hard to get?He did have curiosity and the fighting spirit to meet his opponent.
If Liang Zhaozhao knew what Tang Juexiao was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes and slander this person for thinking he was just looking for trouble.
Obviously he provoked her first, otherwise she would know who he is?
This is why Liang Zhaozhao doesn't like dealing with these dignitaries - his mind is deeper than a well, and his mind is thinner than a needle; he is afraid that you understand him too much, and he doesn't like that you don't understand anything, just like playing the piano to a cow; relying on his status, he feels superior to others, sometimes Feeling too cold at the heights...
She doesn't like to speculate on people's thoughts all day long, and she likes to please people like walking on thin ice, so facing such a powerful and deep-minded person, she naturally hides as far away as possible.
Not only did she hide by herself, but she also pulled Zhang Junchen.
In fact, all she did was to persuade Zhang Junchen as a friend, and if Zhang Junchen committed suicide, she would not stop him.
She just went to complain to his brother.
Before Zhang Junchen realized that Tang Juexiao was the rumored little prince. He just felt that he was a small person and couldn't afford to offend the little prince.
As soon as he got to a place where no one was around, Zhang Junchen said, "If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known it was the little prince."
Liang Zhaozhao felt a little regretful that he couldn't tell... oh, he couldn't teach this foolish and bold man a lesson.
"It's good if you can figure it out." Liang Zhaozhao said earnestly, "It's just you, if your brother..."
Zhang Junchen: "What's wrong with me? I'm not ugly, am I! My brother is already old, so the little prince can't take a fancy to him, right?"
Even if the little prince is really masculine, he will probably choose your brother instead of you.
The truth was too hurtful, so Liang Zhaozhao didn't say it, but said: "Actually, this is not only related to your innocence, but also your brother. He is about to enter the court as an official. If you get too close to the son of King Lu, you will give him troublesome."
Zhang Junchen told his elder brother this after returning home.
Zhang Junxi patted him on the shoulder, and said in a loving tone: "It's hard for you to have such an exquisite friend."
Is this someone else's younger brother?He didn't even despise his stupid brother, and was willing to be friends with his stupid brother.
Because Zhang Junchen promised Liang Zhaozhao to keep it secret, even his own brother didn't say anything, so Zhang Junxi didn't know that Liang Zhaozhao was still alive, let alone that this friend was Liang Zhaozhao.
Zhang Junchen didn't hear the disgust and sarcasm in the elder brother's mouth, and said proudly: "Like attracts like, it's only natural that I have such friends!"
Regarding his blind self-confidence, Zhang Junxi only smiled slightly, "Confinement for a month, read more books, so as not to be speechless with your friends."
On the other hand, after parting with Zhang Junchen, Liang Zhaozhao and Si Anyue went shopping elsewhere before returning home.
Si Anyue ate a cherry, and complained a bit: "Here is not as comfortable as Zhuangzi, and going out is uncomfortable. I used to be curious about how lively the champion parade is, but now I see it, it's nothing more than that."
She didn't have much freedom before, but now she has wandered around the capital twice, only to realize that being able to go out is actually not free, and it is even better to stay at home, after all, she has to worry about offending people when she is outside.
Liang Zhaozhao laughed and said, "In Zhuangzi, you can't eat whatever you want, at least you can't buy such delicious mandarin fish."
Si Anyue immediately put those trivial worries behind her, and said excitedly, "Let the kitchen make mandarin fish balls tomorrow! There are also cheese, cherries, and Bijian soup..."
She snapped her fingers and lost more than ten kinds of delicacies, "I can not go out for half a month. By then, that unpredictable little prince must have forgotten about the Shangsi Festival. It's telling you that If you want to invite Zhang Junchen to dinner, I don't know if the little prince will follow."
Liang Zhaozhao smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, Zhang Junchen probably won't have the chance to go out in the near future."
As long as his elder brother knows about this, he will definitely restrain his feet so that he will no longer have contact with Prince Lu's son.
For the next few days, neither of them went out much.
One devotes himself to delving into gourmet food, while the other reads books and learns about the family's industry and manpower, which is quite enjoyable.
Three big news broke in the capital:
First, Princess Changning set up thousands of river lanterns in order to give Bo Nan a smile;
Second, the son of the Marquis of Wuyang and the Lord of Jianing County fell into the river together, presumably they will be married soon;
Thirdly, the son of the King of Lu was playing tricks on the street, playing with the little man of a good family, but he was beaten by the little man. As for why the son of the King of Lu himself is quite good at martial arts, and he is accompanied by guards, and he will be beaten by others. Of course, he is willing to do so. , couldn't bear to hurt the beauty.
Liang Zhaozhao: Nothing else, what the hell is the name of a good young gentleman?
She knew that the third rumor was not true, so she had some doubts about the authenticity of the first two, so she asked her father after a meal.
Then I learned that the lamp was a surprise prepared by the male favorite (Qi Xiuyan) for the princess; the second news was true, but it was because what she heard was the most concise version, which only described the facts without any embellishments.
Liang Zhaozhao deeply realized that he really grew up in a small place, and didn't know that the capital is rich in conversation resources.
It's just that these have little to do with her. She has a lot to learn, so she will quickly forget about them.
Si Xingjian went to meet the male favorite who was being discussed.
He put a bank note in front of Qi Xiuyan, "Compensation for Aqi's family."
The original owner killed A Qi, and now he has taken over the original owner's property, and he does things according to his own ideas.
As for whether the original owner has such an idea, it's not something he cares about. He doesn't like to do things according to other people's ideas.
It's a bit contradictory to say that the original owner's method can be called cruel, but when facing the old, weak, women and children, he is soft-hearted and spares their lives.
Si Xingjian didn't feel guilty towards A Qi's family, all he could do was give some money as compensation, and he never thought of taking care of them for the rest of his life.
When Qi Xiuyan heard his words, he twitched the corner of his mouth in disdain, and slandered: Compensation?Can this money be compensated for their husband and father?
Qi Xiuyan was not angry in his heart, but the action of collecting money was not vague at all.
Si Xingjian took out the hidden weapons that he had snatched from Qi Xiuyan before, "I want to order some hidden weapons."
He said and took out the drawings and deposit.
The matter of Zhaozhao and Yue'er reminded him that he should prepare some self-defense weapons for the two children.

Si Xingjian waited patiently for Qi Xiuyan to finish reading the papers.

"I really don't understand what you're thinking about." Qi Xiuyan shrugged and put the things away, "When it's done, I'll send someone to your house. Also, those things are over, Dayue Kingdom If you die early, it won't do you any good if you expose my identity?"

The two of them are at home these days, but they don't feel bored. They are busy reading, practicing martial arts, planting, cleaning the warehouse...every day is very fulfilling.
This time it was Zhang Junchen who invited them because his elder brother Zhang Junxi was a high school student.

Si Anyue thinks so too, the capital is so big, their life circle of common people rarely intersects with the rich and powerful.
It's impossible to go out just once and meet some little prince, right?
How unlucky she must be.
So Si Anyue went out in a happy mood and full of expectations.
Because Zhang Junchen had already booked a private room in the restaurant, they just went directly to the agreed place.
Liang Zhaozhao just walked to the corner of the stairs, when he heard a familiar voice—"Can't I really move out a private room for my son? Then share one with others, my son will not dislike it."
She paused, hesitating whether to change places.
Today she is dressed as a woman.
Seeing her stop, Si Anyue hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, let's go." She advised Yue'er not to give up eating because of choking, how could she back down?

Liang Zhaozhao couldn't get rid of the dog skin plaster, and even found out after entering the private room that Zhang Junchen and this little prince knew each other, not just acquaintances.
The two have been able to call each other "Brother Zhang" and "Brother Tang" very affectionately.
Liang Zhaozhao really wanted to ask Zhang Junchen, "You are on good terms with a masculine young prince, do your parents know?"
But she didn't, she just said coldly: "I don't know, when will you be able to call Lu Wangshizi brother and brother?"
"The prince of Lu?" Zhang Junchen asked in surprise.
She knew that this person was hiding his identity!
Tang Juexiao immediately said to Zhang Junchen: "I have introduced you as a confidant, do you want to deny my brother because of your status?"
"of course not!"
"That's it! I, like Brother Zhang, dreamed of being able to walk the world with a sword and eradicate all injustices in the world. Unfortunately, I am tired of my status... Sigh!"
Liang Zhaozhao looked coldly at this man who coaxed Zhang Junchen with a few words, feeling depressed for a while, how could she be friends with such an idiot?
It was really sold and had to count the money.
She took Yue'er to the window, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, took out a thumb-sized peach blossom cake from her purse, and ate it slowly.
"We're all here. It's worthwhile to watch the No. [-] Scholar Parade. Just ignore them."
Si Anyue nodded, and said rather melancholy: "I have no interest in going out these days."
She should study how to eat at home. Seeing people she hates really affects her appetite.
Liang Zhaozhao deeply felt the same way, no matter whether Tang Juexiao was really a dude or scheming, she didn't want to provoke him.
In fact, her biggest wish is that her family can live in harmony and joy, but if she wants to get her wish, she can't just stay behind closed doors and keep her ears shut.
She has to understand the outside world, including political laws and regulations, court battles, and the nature of those who hold great power... She never expects that if she is in danger one day, she can rely on the kindness or compassion of others to survive.
This is also one of the reasons why she often went out after coming to the capital.
She can't stay at home and rely on her father to support her. She has to learn to help her father share his worries.
Liang Zhaozhao stuffed peach blossom cakes into his mouth unconsciously, watching the crowd downstairs in a daze.
Si Anyue also looked at the people downstairs with great interest.
They behaved so calmly and nonchalantly, Tang Juexiao, who had been paying attention to them, couldn't stand it.
How about awe?What about panic?Should at least be a little guilty or shy?
Tang Juexiao, with the idea of making trouble, reminded Zhang Junchen, "Are those two relatives of yours?"
"It's my two distant sisters." Zhang Junchen still remembered the difference between men and women, so he didn't say much.
Tang Juexiao put his hands on his forehead, and said with some doubts: "I seem to have seen them somewhere, especially the taller one, I always feel familiar... Also, they live in the capital, so it is not surprising to see them by chance .”
"Huh? Zhao...she didn't live in the capital before."
Tang Juexiao looked disbelieving, "Really? Then how did she know my identity?"
Hmph, if you want to avoid the Shangsi Festival, it depends on whether he agrees or not.
"Yes, how did you know?" Zhang Junchen turned his head and asked Liang Zhaozhao loudly.
Liang Zhaozhao turned around when Tang Juexiao deliberately mentioned himself, and seeing that Zhang Junchen really came to ask, he smiled and said: "Of course I met the little prince on the night of the Shangsi Festival."
She felt that Zhang Junchen probably hadn't heard the rumor, but he just didn't think of it for a while, so she took the initiative to mention two key words.
Even if she said what would happen, would the young prince still want to tell about the embarrassing things that day?
Tang Juexiao heard provocation from her tone.
"Shangsi Festival?" Zhang Junchen asked back, "Didn't you say you won't go out that day? You just don't want to play with me!"
Liang Zhaozhao: "..." Is this the point?
Even Si Anyue felt that Zhang Junchen was so stupid that she couldn't bear to look directly at him, and she also realized that she might have been too worried about her previous precautions.
She thought that this man had some kind of crooked mind, maybe he didn't have such a muscle.
"Because my father was suddenly free that day, so he took us shopping." Si Anyue explained.
She lied that day, so let her do it now.
Zhang Junchen was still relentless, he had to say that Liang Zhaozhao loved the new and hated the old, he no longer cared about his friend who had known him for many years, and took the opportunity to spoil a meal before generously expressing his forgiveness.
The corners of Si Anyue's mouth twitched twice, she seriously suspected that this man wanted to go with them on Shangsi Festival just for eating and drinking!
Liang Zhaozhao nodded in agreement, and did not mention the fact that he knew Prince Lu's son.
Several people took advantage of the opportunity to talk about the delicious and fun places in the capital.
Among the four, only Tang Juexiao lived here since he was a child and had the opportunity to wander around. When he talked about the food shops in the capital, he knew everything about it.
He has a lot of knowledge and good taste. Whether it is talking about gluttonous feasts or street food, he can quote classics and witty words.
Even Liang Zhaozhao couldn't deny that if she didn't know Tang Juexiao's identity and nature, she might regard him as a friend she could make.
She watched Yue'er listening attentively, wishing she could take out a small notebook to write down, and thought to herself: No wonder Zhang Junchen would call him brothers and sisters, this person would really like him.
Just as she was thinking like this, she heard Tang Juexiao say: "I was being rude that day, which caused the girl to miss the delicious food. I know that there is a small mandarin fish ball in a small building that does a good job. Why don't I be the host there today as an apology?" .”
Tang Juexiao had a gentle and polite smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart: He has already offered to apologize, and the other party whipped him, how can he remain indifferent?
In March of Yangchun, the peach blossoms are in full bloom and the mandarin fish are plump.
Mandarin fish dumplings should be better than tofu dumplings, right?
Si Anyue pursed her lower lip, and reservedly refused: "No need, I was cowardly, I was so scared that I threw away my things, and while still in fear, I accidentally injured the prince."
She hesitated for a moment, glanced at Tang Juexiao, then lowered her head and said, "Fortunately, the son is magnanimous, and the adults don't remember the faults of the villains."
Tang Juexiao, who thought she was going to say "I'll be the host to make amends", was about to nod in agreement, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Sure enough, thick-skinned is in the same strain!
Just as he was about to say "I'm not an adult", he heard the sound of gongs and drums approaching.
Zhang Junchen said excitedly: "It's my elder brother!" He said and ran to the window.
Liang Zhaozhao and Si Anyue also followed, after all, they went out today mainly to watch the champion parade.
Because of the presence of outsiders, they didn't discuss much. They just quietly watched the bustle downstairs and felt the joy of the students who had studied hard for many years in the cold window.
Infected by the joyful and festive atmosphere, they felt a lot of emotion in their hearts. At this moment, they suddenly heard shouts from around them: "Brother! I'm here!"
The two of them took two steps back at the same time, with a look of "I don't know this guy".
They hid in time, and did not meet the scrutinizing eyes of everyone.
The excitement passed quickly, and Si Anyue felt that she didn't seem to see any excitement.
Because of Tang Juexiao's presence, neither Liang Zhaozhao nor Si Anyue wanted to stay longer, so they bid farewell.
Zhang Junchen proposed to send them off on the grounds that there were too many people on the street.
Tang Juexiao didn't stop, nor did he follow up cheekily. After watching the three leave, he sat alone for a while.
With no outsiders around, he put away the cynical expression that always hung on his face, which made him look a little more calm and lonely that didn't match his age.
He really envied these people who had brothers, sisters, and friends.
Tang Juexiao raised his voice and called out, "Gu Yu."
Gu Yu pushed the door open, and what he saw was the same little prince as usual.
"Send someone to Yuezhou to investigate." Tang Juexiao ordered lightly. He always felt that this person was unusual or had other purposes.
When I saw him, there was no reverence, no flattery, and no contempt—he was an ignorant, masculine little prince.
He only saw the alienation that he avoided in the other party's actions.
Could it be that he was playing hard to get?He did have curiosity and the fighting spirit to meet his opponent.
If Liang Zhaozhao knew what Tang Juexiao was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes and slander this person for thinking he was just looking for trouble.
Obviously he provoked her first, otherwise she would know who he is?
This is why Liang Zhaozhao doesn't like dealing with these dignitaries - his mind is deeper than a well, and his mind is thinner than a needle; he is afraid that you understand him too much, and he doesn't like that you don't understand anything, just like playing the piano to a cow; relying on his status, he feels superior to others, sometimes Feeling too cold at the heights...
She doesn't like to speculate on people's thoughts all day long, and she likes to please people like walking on thin ice, so facing such a powerful and deep-minded person, she naturally hides as far away as possible.
Not only did she hide by herself, but she also pulled Zhang Junchen.
In fact, all she did was to persuade Zhang Junchen as a friend, and if Zhang Junchen committed suicide, she would not stop him.
She just went to complain to his brother.
Before Zhang Junchen realized that Tang Juexiao was the rumored little prince. He just felt that he was a small person and couldn't afford to offend the little prince.
As soon as he got to a place where no one was around, Zhang Junchen said, "If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known it was the little prince."
Liang Zhaozhao felt a little regretful that he couldn't tell... oh, he couldn't teach this foolish and bold man a lesson.
"It's good if you can figure it out." Liang Zhaozhao said earnestly, "It's just you, if your brother..."
Zhang Junchen: "What's wrong with me? I'm not ugly, am I! My brother is already old, so the little prince can't take a fancy to him, right?"
Even if the little prince is really masculine, he will probably choose your brother instead of you.
The truth was too hurtful, so Liang Zhaozhao didn't say it, but said: "Actually, this is not only related to your innocence, but also your brother. He is about to enter the court as an official. If you get too close to the son of King Lu, you will give him troublesome."
Zhang Junchen told his elder brother this after returning home.
Zhang Junxi patted him on the shoulder, and said in a loving tone: "It's hard for you to have such an exquisite friend."
Is this someone else's younger brother?He didn't even despise his stupid brother, and was willing to be friends with his stupid brother.
Because Zhang Junchen promised Liang Zhaozhao to keep it secret, even his own brother didn't say anything, so Zhang Junxi didn't know that Liang Zhaozhao was still alive, let alone that this friend was Liang Zhaozhao.
Zhang Junchen didn't hear the disgust and sarcasm in the elder brother's mouth, and said proudly: "Like attracts like, it's only natural that I have such friends!"
Regarding his blind self-confidence, Zhang Junxi only smiled slightly, "Confinement for a month, read more books, so as not to be speechless with your friends."
On the other hand, after parting with Zhang Junchen, Liang Zhaozhao and Si Anyue went shopping elsewhere before returning home.
Si Anyue ate a cherry, and complained a bit: "Here is not as comfortable as Zhuangzi, and going out is uncomfortable. I used to be curious about how lively the champion parade is, but now I see it, it's nothing more than that."
She didn't have much freedom before, but now she has wandered around the capital twice, only to realize that being able to go out is actually not free, and it is even better to stay at home, after all, she has to worry about offending people when she is outside.
Liang Zhaozhao laughed and said, "In Zhuangzi, you can't eat whatever you want, at least you can't buy such delicious mandarin fish."
Si Anyue immediately put those trivial worries behind her, and said excitedly, "Let the kitchen make mandarin fish balls tomorrow! There are also cheese, cherries, and Bijian soup..."
She snapped her fingers and lost more than ten kinds of delicacies, "I can not go out for half a month. By then, that unpredictable little prince must have forgotten about the Shangsi Festival. It's telling you that If you want to invite Zhang Junchen to dinner, I don't know if the little prince will follow."
Liang Zhaozhao smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, Zhang Junchen probably won't have the chance to go out in the near future."
As long as his elder brother knows about this, he will definitely restrain his feet so that he will no longer have contact with Prince Lu's son.
For the next few days, neither of them went out much.
One devotes himself to delving into gourmet food, while the other reads books and learns about the family's industry and manpower, which is quite enjoyable.
