Chapter 230 Lonely Little Kid
In the evening, Brother Tang Si and a few others returned home.
They were busy all day and were obviously very tired, but also extremely excited. I could hear their noise from far away.
People like Huo Yuntao and Yuan Yaochu are obviously not short of money, but they are just like modern people who are too lazy to pick up a dollar dropped on the ground, but are very happy for a long time when grabbing a dime in a WeChat group... Anyway, they are very happy.
The people from the Dragon Slaying Sect had already become close friends with Yuan Yaochu and Fourth Brother Tang, and they were extremely close friends. Big Brother Tang only spent one afternoon there and quickly infiltrated the inner circle. Even the twin children integrated without any pressure.
Second brother and Liang Ruoxu also came over.
They came after dinner. Liang Ruoxu came to look for Master Shen. As soon as they met, the two adults went to chat somewhere else. The second elder brother saw a group of people over there shouting and drinking, drinking water instead of wine and so on... He couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, then came over to sit with them.
There were only Naituanzi, Yan Shenjue and Shen Zhuoli here. They had finished eating long ago and were sitting together playing with Lu Bo.
This is a game similar to the flying chess of later generations. The number of steps is determined by rolling dice, but it is much more complicated than flying chess. Players have to move across mountains and water, and have many small rules of addition and subtraction, such as subtracting six when encountering a tiger and adding two when eating a fish. Moreover, the game they play is different from the one played by ordinary people. Players have to compose poems and tell stories from time to time.
Xinbao contributed what he could...rolled the dice for them.
As soon as the second brother came, he kept an eye on it.
He is not good at poetry.
He had too little time to study. Although the teacher he applied to in the city was considered a famous teacher, it was only less than three years. Later, when he returned to Yutang Village, he couldn't even touch the edge of the book. So if he was really asked to play this, although he would not be timid, he would definitely not be able to impress.
It goes without saying that Yan Shenjue is a genius. What he didn't expect was that Shen Zhuoli was only eleven years old, but he could speak eloquently. Even though most of his works in this game were simple, there were quite a few lines that made people think about them.
In comparison, Yan Shen Jue's poems are more grand, mostly focusing on family and country, while Shen Zhuoli's are more delicate, starting with emotions, and are quite touching.
The second elder brother praised him repeatedly, and Shen Zhuoli's ears turned red because of his praise. He was already handsome, and when he blushed, he looked even more beautiful.
The game lasted more than half an hour. Yan Shenjue was afraid that Xinbao would feel sleepy, so he got up and went back to his room. He called Yu Rulai to take Xinbao away to wash his face and feet.
The second brother asked with a smile: "When did you two become friends who play games?"
The main thing is, these two people don't seem to be the kind of people who can play games. They usually just nod to each other when they meet, but they can actually sit together and play games? Yan Shenjue said, "He invited me."
The second brother smiled and said, "Is that so?"
You know, Shen Zhuoli is a very sensitive kid. If his invitation is rejected, others might just feel embarrassed for a while, but he might be embarrassed for the rest of his life, especially since Yan Shenjue is a person who is 100% likely to refuse... So he dared to bring Lu Bo to invite Yan Shenjue, so something must have happened first.
Yan Shenjue glanced at him and told him what happened.
Xinbao had already changed into pajamas and was put into the quilt by Yuru, listening to the two people talking.
Yan Shenjue spoke very briefly, but with his high IQ and EQ, of course his second brother understood it immediately.
Yan Shenjue asked: "What do you think?"
"Hmm?" The second brother said, "What do you think of your suggestions? I think they are good."
He watched Yu Ru carry the basin out easily, and asked, "Does this man know martial arts?"
"Yes," Yan Shenjue said, "It's more convenient to have a maid to take care of Xinbao. Let her sleep with Xinbao at night, otherwise Xinbao will be worried. When you move, you can let her go over to clean and take care of it."
The second brother laughed and said, "Then I have to study hard."
Because of the laws of this dynasty, only those who passed the examination for the title of scholar can employ servants at home. Commoners are not allowed to do so. In fact, this law is meaningless and no one cares. The second brother just made a joke, but Yan Shenjue said, "Just register it under the name of the Yuan family."
That's a really honest answer.
The second brother laughed again and changed the subject again, saying, "I want to help sell flowers tomorrow. You and Shen Zhuoli can come with me."
Yan Shenjue: “……?”
He looked at him in surprise: "Why?"
Of course it’s because... not only Shen Zhuoli, but also you. You two are actually lonely little kids, and when you are “fighting side by side” like this, it’s best to get along with each other. Even if you are not used to it, you will be infected by that atmosphere.
He had this idea today after seeing them making a fuss, and decided to take a day off to accompany them.
But the second brother didn't explain. He just turned around and pinched his sister's face: "Xinbao, Xinbao?"
Xinbao wanted to listen to their conversation, but the quilt was too warm and she couldn't help but feel drowsy. She was almost asleep when he pinched her and startled: "Huh?"
The second brother leaned over and said with a smile: "Xinbaoer, go sell flowers with your brother tomorrow, okay?"
As he spoke, he winked at her suggestively with one eye.
Xinbao was half asleep and half awake, so he had no idea what he wanted to do, but he knew he must be planning something, so he immediately said, "Okay!"
The second brother smiled and said, "Then it's settled."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
He let go of his hands and patted them gently, and Tuanzi's eyes closed again. The second brother smiled and glanced at Yan Shenjue.
The handsome young boy looked at him silently, with condemnation in his eyes.
The second brother was amused by his behavior and laughed out loud. He stood up and patted his head: "Little brat."
Yan Shenjue: “……?”
When the second brother came out, he saw that the people at the table had almost finished eating. After all, many of them were teenagers and could not make any noise.
At this moment, everyone else had left. Liang Ruoxu was talking to Brother Tang on the side. The twins secretly drank two glasses of fruit wine, and their faces turned red. Butler Anshun coaxed them to drink honey water, and then he took one of them by the hand and led them away with great satisfaction.
The second elder brother asked from a distance: "Brother, are you staying here tonight?"
"Yes!" Liang Ruoxu said, "Butler An has already arranged it, you don't have to worry."
The second brother nodded and went out to find Huo Yuntao.
Brother Tang also drank a few glasses of wine.
He was drunk but his face was not bright, and he looked the same as usual: "Brother Liang, it's late, shall we go to rest too?"
Liang Ruoxu nodded, and the two of them walked towards the guest room together. As they walked, Liang Ruoxu said casually: "If Yin Lin's appearance can be similar to yours, then... I guess everything will go smoothly in the future."
Brother Tang raised his eyebrows in surprise.
In comparison, he looks 80% like Tang Qingshan, while the second brother looks more like Lin Niangzi. Although they look completely different, they are not ugly, right? The eldest brother Tang laughed and said, "My brother's appearance is not good? I think he looks more like a scholar."
"That's fine," Liang Ruoxu said with a smile, "I just think you're really handsome. Didn't my master praise you for being handsome?"
Brother Tang was so impressed by his praise that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could only say, "You're too kind. I'm not as good as Brother Liang."
He suddenly thought of something: "Could there be a princess who likes my looks?"
Liang Ruoxu laughed out loud: "Don't believe in drama. There is no princess in the world who marries the number one scholar... Oh, there was one in the previous dynasty, but there was only one. That one was not an ordinary number one scholar. He was the descendant of a prime minister and was born into a powerful family."
Brother Tang asked curiously, "Why is that?"
