Little Dandy, He's a Little Good

Rong Zhuo was quite tired when he was in Jingdu's room today, but he was too nervous to pay attention to it at the time, but after getting into the carriage now, he felt exhausted all over his body, leaning on the carriage with his eyes closed, he was about to fall asleep.

"You!" Duan Zheng said helplessly, "I didn't make much trouble tonight, I'm just so tired, my body is too weak."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and squeezed Rong Zhuo's arm, then shook his head and said, "I have to bring you to practice later."

Hearing this, Rong Zhuo opened his eyes and looked at him, and found that when Duan Zheng faced him now, he no longer had the slightest hostility before, just like an elder brother who cared about his younger brother, and there was even a little kindness in his eyes.

Strictly speaking, Duan Zheng is not more than two years older than Rong Zhuo, but in Duan Zheng's eyes, he treats him like a child, which makes Rong Zhuo very uncomfortable.

"Cousin, thank you very much today." Rong Zhuo said.

"What is my brother talking about?" Duan Zheng felt a little uncomfortable facing him so rarely, "If I had known that you were so obedient, my cousin would have taken you out to play a long time ago. with me?"

Rong Zhuo said in his heart, he hadn't come earlier, how could he be willing to come out to play with Duan Zheng?

In the original Rong Zhuo's heart, he probably never classified Duan Zheng as the kind of person he would make friends with.

However, people like Duan Zheng can't take the initiative to take that step, so he is destined to be unable to understand each other with the original Rong Zhuo, and there is only prejudice and estrangement between the two of them.What's more, most of the literati in this dynasty care about their reputation, and if they can get along with Duan Zheng, it is an act that damages their reputation. If they were the original Rong Zhuo, they would not allow this kind of thing to happen.

"What will I take you to do tomorrow?" Duan Zheng asked: "Play polo, go to the casino? Or is there somewhere else you want to go?"

"Spent so much money today, don't go to the casino." Rong Zhuo said, "Let's go play polo!"

Polo is not an unpopular sport in this dynasty. On the contrary, many people with status also play polo.It's just that the same sport, played with different people in different circles, has completely different styles.

Playing polo with princes and nobles is a high-end activity.

Playing polo with those cronies like Duan Zheng is a small group gathering among dudes.

Anyway, if this group of people get together, even if it's reading, it won't be easy to hear if it spreads.

So Rong Zhuo doesn't care what to do, anyway, he just needs to hang out with Duan Zheng.

The carriage arrived at the Rong Mansion.

It was getting dark now, Duan Zheng got off the carriage and carefully took a lantern from the porter to send Rong Zhuo back to his residence.

The small courtyard where Rong Zhuo lives now was moved here when he was 14 years old.This place is quiet and suitable for reading. On weekdays, except for the servants at home who come to clean, no one will bother him, only his personal servant Jin Douzi will accompany him all day.

"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." Duan Zheng sent people in and planned to leave.

It was getting late now, and he didn't intend to go to the main house to say hello, so as not to disturb his parents' rest.

Jin Douzi heard the movement and came out, saw Duan Zheng sending his young master in, couldn't help staring at him suspiciously for a while.

"What kind of eyes are you kidding?" Duan Zheng asked displeased.

"Cousin, don't scare him, he is timid." Rong Zhuo said with a smile.

Duan Zheng was unhappy when he heard that he didn't continue looking for Jindouzi.

He is used to being domineering in front of people on weekdays, if he hadn't settled down with Rong Zhuo today, his attitude would not have changed.

So when he saw Jin Douzi, he subconsciously brought him back to the state he used to have when he was at odds with Rong Zhuo.

As soon as Jing Rongzhuo reminded him, he hurriedly took out several gold leaves from his purse and gave them to Jindouzi.

Jin Douzi looked puzzled, and thanked him several times.

"Young Master, Mr. Ji sent a message, saying that you will go to Guozi to learn tomorrow." Jin Douzi then remembered the business.

Rong Zhuo was taken aback, "Did the messenger say anything else?"

"No." Jin Douzi said.

Rong Zhuo thought for a while, then stopped Duan Zheng who was about to leave and said, "Cousin, I'm going to Guozixue tomorrow, so I might not be able to play polo with you."

Duan Zheng's eyes dimmed, but he still nodded.

He looked at Rong Zhuo with the dim light of the lantern in his hand, feeling a little disappointed.

He thought, after all, his cousin was not the same as him.

He's a dude, so it's not good to delay others' studies.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he had this idea, Wen Rongzhuo said again: "When Guozixue's work is over, I'll go to Duanfu to find you."

"Really?" Duan Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he became energetic again.

"En." Rong Zhuo nodded in agreement.

It's not all for pretending to be a dude, after getting along today, he thinks this cousin is pretty good.Apart from Jin Douzi, Duan Zheng should be the second closest person after he came to this world.

After seeing off Duan Zheng, Rong Zhuo went to the study to sort out the manuscript.

These manuscripts were all transcribed and organized by the original Rong Zhuo. It can be seen that it took a lot of work and the organization was very serious.

According to Rong Zhuo's current plan, it is impossible for him to do such a well-known thing in the future.

However, he was also unwilling to mess up the manuscript, wasting the efforts of Rong Zhuo.

So after thinking for a long time, he decided to put the manuscripts that had been sorted out into a book box, and planned to bring them to Guozixue tomorrow to give to Mr. Ji, and then took the opportunity to push back the matter of sorting out the manuscripts.

In this way, the original Rong Zhuo's efforts will not be wasted, nor will the quality and progress of the subsequent finishing of the manuscript be delayed.

Early the next morning, Jin Douzi helped Rong Zhuo prepare the clothes he would wear to Guozixue.

After Rong Zhuo got dressed and asked the other party to help her tie her hair, she stared at the bronze mirror in a daze for a while.

Seeing that the ninth day is getting closer and closer.

He doesn't know how long it will be delayed to go to Guozixue, and whether it will delay his dandy plan.

But in Guozixue, he can't do too much trouble.

Firstly, Guozixue wears a unified uniform, and his hairpins are all made of uniform wooden hairpins, so he can't dress fancy.Secondly, everyone is studying hard, so he can disturb others even if he has nothing to do.

On the way to Guozixue, he asked the driver to stop halfway, and took Jin Douzi to a roadside incense powder shop to buy a box of incense powder.

Then he got some face powder and poured it into his clothes, making his whole body smell good.

"My lord, what is your new hobby?" Jin Douzi was very puzzled, "Everyone makes incense, but you have made a whole body of incense powder, then people might think that you got it from some girl! "

Rong Zhuo raised his eyebrows and smiled, it would be best if they thought so.

Anyway, even if you don't think so, the smell of powder on his body is enough to attract attention.

At that time, if it reaches the prince's ears, it will become Rong Zhuo's body full of makeup.

How could it be possible for a dignified prince of a country to befriend someone who is full of makeup?

The more Rong Zhuo thought about it, the more complacent he became, and he couldn't help pouring more into his arms.

After he entered Guozixue, many students around him greeted him.

Some people smelled the fragrance powder on his body, but most of them had puzzled expressions, but no one showed disgust.

Rong Zhuo went directly to meet Ji Xiunian with the bookcase in hand.

Although this Mr. Ji was a well-known Confucianist at the time, he was not as old as Rong Zhuo imagined, he was about 50 years old, and he looked energetic and vigorous, without showing any signs of aging.

Ji Xiunian opened the manuscript brought by Rong Zhuo and looked at it, his eyes were full of admiration, obviously he was very satisfied with the manuscript.

"Well done." Ji Xiunian praised Rong Zhuo.

"I didn't do it." Rong Zhuo said.

Ji Xiunian was startled, with some doubts in his eyes.

"Didn't Mr. say it before? Life is like the dew in the morning... I am born in the morning, and I am not yesterday. If you want to, sir, you can treat these manuscripts as yesterday. Disappointed." Rong Zhuo couldn't explain why, but when he faced Ji Xiunian, he couldn't help feeling a sense of awe.

Probably because the temperament of this great Confucian is too unique. Although he is highly respected, he does not feel oppressive.

Rong Zhuo always feels that this person is not the old-fashioned one he imagined, and there are some things he can say to him.

Sure enough, Ji Xiunian was only slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and he didn't show a look of reproach or bewilderment.

On the contrary, when he looked at Rong Zhuo, there was even a kind smile in his eyes.

"My teacher has always told you that there are tens of millions of roads in this world. The purpose of reading and learning is to let you understand more truths and learn to make more correct choices. Where does your disappointment come from?" Ji Xiu Nian said: "My student, in the future, no matter whether he is a general or a commoner, as long as he is upright and has a clear conscience, I will not be disappointed."

Rong Zhuo was taken aback, he didn't expect Ji Xiunian to say such things to him.

He thought that the other party would scold him severely, thinking that he had gone astray and was not doing his job properly.

"Sir...have you heard about the students?" Rong Zhuo asked in a low voice.

"Young man, it's human nature to be curious about this colorful world. When I was your teacher, I did a lot of ridiculous things." Ji Xiunian's eyes flashed in a daze, "But you need to keep in mind, A gentleman must keep his heart, as the saying goes, out of the mud but not stained, in the clean water but not demon."

When Rong Zhuo heard these words, he was almost moved to tears on the spot. A great Confucian like Mr. Ji told him the truth that he had memorized when he was in school. He was so friendly to a modern person like him.

"Thank you sir, the students will remember." Rong Zhuo saluted him respectfully.

Ji Xiunian smiled faintly, and reached out to help him wipe off a little powder on his neckline.

As soon as Rong Zhuo entered the room, he could smell the powder on the other party's body, but when he saw the powder stain on the other party's neckline, he knew that it was sprinkled on a temporary basis, not from somewhere.

In fact, when he heard the rumors about Rong Zhuo, he was not surprised.

As a student, he has always been diligent and praised by everyone outside, he can be regarded as a dignified gentleman.

But only he knows that as a young man of this age, Rong Zhuo always lacks the vitality and innocence that a young man should have, and his behavior is always too strict, as if he is afraid of making mistakes.So he was not surprised when he learned of Rong Zhuo's nonsense, he just thought that the other party's temper had been suppressed for a long time, and suddenly revealed his youthful nature.

He also had such a period when he was a teenager, reading and reading all day, he became rebellious and messed around for a long time.

Therefore, when he later judged his students, he never preconceived these things. He not only valued the students' academic performance and words and deeds, but also cared about the students' nature and potential.

When Rong Zhuo faced him just now, his eyes were clear and bright, definitely not the eyes that a person who lost his heart should have.

So he is not worried about Rong Zhuo's seemingly nonsensical actions now...

"Next time, you can buy some aromatherapy, your method is too stupid." Ji Xiunian said.

Rong Zhuo hurriedly nodded upon hearing this, thanked the other party again, and then got up to leave.

On this day, after all, Rong Zhuo didn't have the nerve to mess around in the school.

The atmosphere of this place is too serious, he is too embarrassed to disturb other people's interest in studying.

It wasn't until the noon break that he took out the handkerchief he borrowed from Yu Jingdu yesterday to play with, and the sharp-eyed classmate saw him and asked him a question.Rong Zhuo finally had a chance, and casually said something shocking to the world, he said that the handkerchief was given to him by a young lady from Xun Huan Lou.

The classmates who heard this were watching their noses and noses, and did not continue to ask questions.

Only one classmate named Lin Yuan persuaded Rong Zhuo a few words while there was no one around.

Faced with his classmates, Rong Zhuo actually felt quite uncomfortable.

Thinking of the original book, almost all the people who got close to him got involved with the prince because of him, and none of them ended up well in the end.

This time, although he couldn't stop everyone from making friends with the prince.

But at least he can try his best to prevent the students who were close to him from repeating the mistakes of the original book.

"Rong Zhuo." A man's voice came from behind.

Rong Zhuo turned his head to look, and recognized Master Liu of Guozixue, and hurriedly bowed to him.

Mr. Liu looked around Rong Zhuo's body, keenly aware of the changes in the young man.

"On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, you were also invited to the poetry meeting of Prince Hou of Yong'an, right?" Master Liu asked.

"Yes, the student was lucky enough to receive the invitation." Rong Zhuo said.

"No matter how many people ask for this opportunity, you can't get it. You have to seize it carefully, and don't let down the kindness of your son." Master Liu said earnestly: "Since ancient times, the most noble people have looked down on people who are addicted to wine and sex. Don't you want it?" Impulse went astray."

What he said was obviously a little embarrassing.

Rong Zhuo suddenly realized that perhaps this person recommended himself to the prince.

After all, they were all in Guozixue, and this person must have gone through a series of inspections before finally choosing him.Maybe this person heard about Rong Zhuo's going to Hualou yesterday, so he was anxious, and he didn't hesitate to come over to mention something in person today.

Rong Zhuo hurriedly nodded yes, but turned around and left Guozixue.

He skipped class!

Because Mr. Liu's words reminded him that the ninth day of the ninth day was only a few days away.

If he was trapped in Guozixue every day, he would be unable to do anything.

At that time, the prince will only think that he went to Hualou on impulse that day, and he repented later.

If so, his efforts were wasted.

So he can't sit still, he must seize the opportunity of these few days, and he must make the prince completely disappointed in him.

Rong Zhuo originally thought about whether to go to Duan Zheng, but he quickly remembered Liu's words.

The other party said that the noble people look down on those who are addicted to wine and sex the most, which means that the visit to the flower house is a hit.

That being the case, why would he go to a casino, just spend a few more days in the flower house, and completely confirm his stigma of indulging in wine and sex.

So, after Rong Zhuo left Guozixue, he went directly to Xunhuan Building.

He didn't even go back home to change his clothes, he just went straight away wearing Guozixue's gray robe.

Today's Rong Zhuo looks a bit like going to a nightclub in a school uniform, so as soon as he enters the door, he becomes the focus of the audience.

"Oh, Mr. Rong is here." Sister Hua happened to be in the hall, as soon as she saw Rong Zhuo, she came up to greet her.

Rong Zhuo politely bowed to him, and said calmly: "I'm here to find Qingshi."

Sister Hua almost lost her composure when she heard the words, tried to control her expression, and ordered someone to take him upstairs.

She looked at Rong Zhuo's back, wondering if she should make some preparations?

In case that person loses his composure and kills someone, she has to deal with the aftermath!

Yu Jingdu thought that Rong Zhuo would come, but he never thought that the other party would come so soon.

When the guy outside knocked on the door and said Mr. Rong was coming, he almost suspected that he had heard wrong.

It wasn't until the moment he opened the door that he realized that something even more shocking was yet to come.

This little dandy came here wearing the uniform of Guozixue.

The young man was dressed in a dusty long robe, without the bright and flamboyant yesterday, he didn't look dull at all, on the contrary, he was a little more obedient.Especially those eyes, bright and clear, not as if they came to visit a flower building, but as if they came to see friends.

"Qingshi!" Rong Zhuo smiled brightly at Yu Jingdu, took out something from behind and presented it to Yu Jingdu, "It's for you."

Yu Jingdu frowned, looking at the thing in front of him, he didn't know how to react for a moment.

The little dandy gave him a branch—red rose flower.
